Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, this is the news from Cui Dazhuang, he moved to Laizhou according to the emperor's instructions, and the people of Dengzhou totaled 600,000, but when they arrived in Changyi, they got the news from the fishermen: Kong Youde led 30,000 anti-thieves to land from the sea, and the vanguard had passed Yu'er Town and came straight to them. ”

Wang Jian was taken aback, he sent Cui Dazhuang to relocate the people, and by the way, he exterminated the homeless thieves on the road, and Cui Dazhuang was also very competitive, coupled with the strategy of Confucius and Meng, the two complemented each other and exterminated Laizhou, and there were countless bandits in Dengzhou, which made the bandits in Erzhou fearful.

Wang Jian also knew that Cui Dazhuang's troops were not there, so he had always sent people from Dongchang to monitor the movements of Haoge in the direction of Cangzhou, but he didn't expect the disaster to come from the sea!

Wang Chengen said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Cui Dazhuang only has more than 3,000 people, I'm afraid that he won't be able to hold it, or he will send troops to help." ”

Wang Jian nodded.

Reinforcements must be sent, but who to send is a problem, Haoge is ready to move, eyeing Jinan, Ma Miao's "Iron Blood Legion" must not move, Qin Yiming's "Zhennan Army" still has to deter the warlords in Jiangnan, and it can't move, and now only Li Yan's musket battalion has not been formed.

The Firearms Bureau is the brainchild of Wang Jian's establishment, and the gunpowder inside, the young thief's love and the bubble dragon are even more secret, if they are lost or leaked, they will give the enemy a chance to imitate, even if Li Yan has experienced a hundred battles, Wang Jian is still not at ease.

"Go and call Li Yan and Zu Dabi to me."

Soon, Wang Chengen led Li Yan and Zu Dabi to come.

Although it was the emperor's wedding day, and it was already late at night, as long as the emperor summoned them, they immediately came in armor.

Li Yan and Zu Dabi are Ma Concubine's confidants, and the only imperial concubine they identify in their minds is only Concubine Ma Concubine.

As military generals, the two of them had little friendship with Wenchen, so they were not as carried away and drunk as Wenchen, but they were both energetic and full of energy.

Wang Jian asked, "General Li, how is the training of my musket battalion?" ”

Li Yan was a little confused, the banquet had just ended, and the emperor was not busy with the candles in the cave room, why did he suddenly urgently ask himself about the training in the middle of the night?

Li Yan replied: "Your Majesty, according to your orders, the current firearms battalion is equipped with a total of 500 young thieves and 1,500 three-eyed firearms. ”

"Well, Kong Youde led 30,000 troops from the sea, and I want you to go out with me to crusade against the traitors, are you sure?"

When Wang Jian heard that there were only more than 2,000 firearms, and the speed of replacement was far lower than his expectations, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and she has no money, so what can she use to smelt copper and iron and make medicinal fire?

Zu Dabi on the side had already been suffocated in Jinan City, and when he heard that there was a battle to fight, he was very excited: "Your Majesty, don't say that he is only a small 30,000 soldiers and horses, it is 100,000, and I will definitely call him to come and go!" ”

He believed that since Kong Youde came from the sea, there must not be a lot of baggage horses, and most of them were infantry, and his chariot battalion practiced new tactics every day, and it should not be a problem to exterminate a group of anti-thieves who had no cavalry impact ability and came across the sea.

Li Yan heard that it was Kong Youde, who was a figure who even Huang Taiji went out of Shengjing for ten miles to greet him.

He said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Kong Youde is also an expert in firearms, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." ”

Zu Dabi was afraid that the hard-won opportunity to kill the enemy would be missed, he glared at the bull's eye and said: "I'm afraid that he is a bird's egg, his cannons are all old cannons, and I don't know if they can sound or not. ”

Both of them are cadres who have experienced life and death in Liaodong, and they have both seen the power of the red-clothed cannon, in comparison, the bubble bobble dragon is much more powerful than the red-clothed cannon in terms of accuracy, power and range, even if Zu Dabi has the element of boasting, it should not be a lie.

Li Yan didn't want to miss this opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, he smiled and said, "Don't blame General Zu, he is too conservative below. ”

Wang Jian saw that they were all very confident, so he asked them to go back and prepare, and set out with him tomorrow.

Wang Jian went back to the house, and saw Wang Qianqian sitting on the dresser with his coat on, he took a closer look, and there were several rows of juanxiu small letters written on the rice paper in front of him:

Break the branches, hate the branches,

Quasi-flowers bloom together, and people go when they bloom.

Afraid of lovesickness, already lovesick,

When it's lovesickness's turn, there's nowhere to say,

Wang Qianqian lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time, Wang Jian helped her hold a wisp of green silk between her eyebrows behind her ear, hugged her in her arms, and said, "What, are you worried about me?" ”

Wang Qianqian said with a worried face: "Brother Jane, can you not go?" She hadn't seen the love of the young thief, and when she heard that Wang Jian only took 5,000 people to the expedition, how could she not worry.

Wang Jian kissed her forehead and said, "Fool, who will go if I don't go?" In this world, you are the only one who can share my worries, what about you, keep Jinan City for me, if you don't understand, ask Zheng Yuqiao, if someone disagrees with you, you will go to find a concubine. ”

"No..."

"Well, I'll be back in two days."

Wang Qianqian still shook her head, her eyes were filled with tears, she didn't know where she got the strength, she didn't let go of Wang Jian's waist band, and in a blink of an eye, Wang Jian's lower abdomen was cold.

The battle of Jinan caused a shadow in her heart that year, and it still makes her feel palpitations, when she heard that Wang briefly drove the expedition, she was afraid that he would have an accident, how could she let him go?

Wang Jian picked her up, gently put her on the Hu bed, and said, "Good, don't worry, you sleep obediently, maybe when you wake up, I'll be back." ”

Under Wang Jian's gentle comfort, although Wang Qianqian lay down obediently, she still grabbed Wang Jian's hand and did not let go, Wang Jian had no choice, she told love words in her ear, and she didn't fall asleep until midnight.

Wang Jian saw that she was asleep, covered her with a cold quilt, and went straight to the barracks on the outskirts of the city.

As soon as he entered the barracks, he saw a beautiful thin figure under the moonlight, Wang Jian took a closer look, and saw that Li'er was practicing martial arts on a big stone, and no one in the nearby soldiers dared to approach.

Li'er also found Wang Jian, she glanced at Wang Jian coldly, her expression was very similar to Chen Yuanyuan, she still remembers how Wang Jian bullied her when they met for the first time, and left her under the scorching sun for a long time.

Wang Jian was swept away by her cold eyes, and her heart was excited: This chick is quite resentful. He said with a haha: "What about martial arts? What a hard worker, good boy, you're busy... You're busy—" After saying that, he walked briskly towards the main tent of Ma Concubine.

At this time, Ma Mi heard a report from her subordinates that the emperor was coming and greeted her, which also made Li'er's thoughts of beating Wang Jian violently frustrated.
