Xiao Gongyi was worried, Bailiyan took the opportunity to discuss with Zong Botai last night and told him, Xiao Gongyi agreed with this, and said with emotion:

"This matter is very good, Xianguo already has firearms that are more powerful than axillary monsters, and they should be quickly manufactured and widely used, and Xiao will definitely help in this matter."

"Master Xiao can put the world first, and Yan admires it very much. However, there is one thing that I hope Master Xiao must abide by, otherwise it will be a trouble for a long time in the future. ”

Xiao Gongyi said happily:

"Yongxing Hou, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The power of the new weapon is amazing, but the top secret of our Xian country cannot be exposed, so the new weapon can only be used in the Xian country and your faction for the time being, and no other country can use it."

"Armpit monsters are in great trouble in the world, if you can't have everything for everyone, how can you fight the enemy together."

"Xiao Zhangmen Mingjian, within three or five years, there will be no million new weapons, so it can only barely equip the current Xian army and your faction, and then the new weapons produced can be equipped to recruit new soldiers It is extremely difficult, and if you supply other princes, it is difficult to continue.

Besides, the princes of all countries are eyeing our Xianguo, and if they repel the armpit monsters in the future, the princes will come to join forces to fight against them maliciously, and then our Xianguo will suffer heavy casualties and be devastated, and will not reap the consequences. ”

Bai Liyan reasoned and laid out the facts, Xiao Gongyi thought deeply, and nodded in affirmation:

"Well, it is not unreasonable for Yongxing Hou to be worried, so Xiao promised Your Excellency as the head of the house."

"Master Xiao understands the righteousness, and Yan is grateful."

The gun is not a sword bow and crossbow, once it is flooded, it is deadly, both in power and lethality, it is much greater than the bow and crossbow.

However, Bailiyan is not worried about the proliferation of guns, the gun itself is not important, the important thing is the bullet, if the gun is not bulleted, it is a burning stick. In the early days, nitrocellulose, ether, ethanol and even ignition gunpowder needed for safe smokeless gunpowder required a complete chemical system, which could hardly be made by relying on the capabilities of the current vassal states.

In addition, most of the people who wrote to Su Fangxin yesterday were a little confused, and last night Bailiyan thought carefully about it, although the physiology of axillary people has a special self-healing mechanism, it can be called an immortal body.

However, in the face of technological parity and even surpassing the overwhelming organized army, as long as it causes its rout and a lot of damage, or even temporary paralysis, after the human race controls the battlefield, even if the wounded left on the battlefield can heal themselves, it is impossible to run away immediately, and then they will inevitably become prisoners of human beings, and they can still be killed by cutting off their heads at that time.

The defeat of the white people was due to both the inferiority of weapons and equipment, and the factor of being suddenly unprepared and frightened.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan said that he was with Xiao Gongyi and Su Fangxin, but saw Xiao Gongyi shaking his head and saying:

"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult."

"Oh, why is that?" Bai Liyan was surprised.

According to the white man, they had organized an arrow array of 50,000 men to strike at the armpit men, but the armpit men were equipped with artillery, and they could bombard them with artillery at a distance, and before they hit the ground, they were like scattered flowers, and they spewed out hundreds of lead pellets, which was very powerful.

In addition, the armpit man is equipped with an iron shield, about half the thickness of the thumb, about 300 catties, blocking all the front of the formation, and then hiding behind the shield and firing intensively with firearms, advancing forward while firing, always hiding behind the iron shield, unless the arrow cluster can pass over the head, it is difficult to resist the front.

However, the range of bows and arrows is not as long as that of firearms, so it is really difficult to attack from the front. And I, a human being, who lifts 200 catties, is a strong man, but they can easily move more than 400 catties of huge objects, and with this iron shield, it is difficult to shake the front. ”

Bai Liyan listened to it and felt a chill in her heart.

According to Xiao Gongyi's account, the armpit men fought with 1,000, 3,000, or even 5,000 men in a phalanx, surrounded by iron plates seven or eight millimeters thick, and advanced towards the enemy. Each side is equipped with several, or even a dozen, of two hundred teams, responsible for charging and assaulting after defeating the human formation.

The whites were only armed with very ordinary bows and arrows, and the range was far less than that of the armpit breech guns, and with the use of shrapnel shells, the human race could only be unilaterally slaughtered. If the battle is dispersed, the physical fitness, physiology, and weapons of human beings are not the opponents of armpit people, so whether it is a team battle, a group fight or a heads-up, human beings are basically completely crushed.

What's more, most of the so-called iron plates cannot be pig iron, because the larger the area of pig iron and the thickness of about thinner, the easier it is to break, so it is certain that wrought iron, or even steel. If this is the case, it is impossible for the Yongxing rifle to penetrate a six-millimeter homogeneous steel plate at a distance of 200 meters, let alone an eight-millimeter penetration.

It is worth noting that the armpit people have howitzers, at least this Yongxing City is stronger than it, Bailiyan can even pat his chest to ensure that the range of the platinum-based copper-nickel-iron-based alloy cannon is far above it, and it is also a howitzer shotgun, as long as it dares to form a formation, the Xianjun army is sure to tilt the shells on their heads three miles in advance.

Bai Liyan was worried that Xiao Gongyi was blindly optimistic, so she hid this unsaid paragraph and pretended to be worried to express her agreement.

The conversation lasted for a day, and a consensus was reached with Xiao Gongyi, Su Fangxin and others, and some details were finalized. Returning to the Minister's Mansion at dusk, Li Yi had been waiting in the atrium for most of the day, discussing with Zhou Kong and others.

"Uncle, you're back, I've been waiting for you for half a day."

Li Yi was taken aback, Bai Liyan probably guessed his intention, but pretended not to ask him:

"Why are you in such a hurry to find me?"

Before the words fell, Zhou Kong came over and said:

"I heard that there is a monster in the North Sea of the Eldest Sun Country, is there such a thing?"

Bai Liyan didn't respond, looked at Li Yi and asked him:

"Has the Son of Heaven already informed the hundred officials of the news?"

"Such a shocking thing, where can the hundred officials know, it is this morning that the Son of Heaven summoned his close ministers and relatives to inform him privately, so that everyone can discuss it on their own. I didn't hear my father talk about it, so I came to ask my uncle about it. ”

"And what do you think about it?" Bai Liyan asked, her tone flat and undulating.

"If this is true, it is not only impossible to kill but also eat people, isn't it an unprecedented catastrophe in my Central Plains, and we should prepare for war as soon as possible."

"If you prepare for war now, you must be able to beat monsters? Uncle can hear that the armpit man ship is strong and artillery, 30,000 stone ships, 20,000 stone ships hundreds, and 10,000 stone ships are countless, and each ship has artillery.

The cannon of the eldest grandson Guo Tianwei general, is used by the armpit people, up to seven or eight miles, and is lighter than the 9,000 catties of the same cannon in the Central Plains, tens of thousands of artillery guns fired in unison, I am afraid that this Jinye City will become ruins overnight, how can it fight. ”

Zhou Kong was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said:

"Is it really so terrifying?"

"Even if not, there are eighty percent. But I think that most of the people in the world will not believe in this monster in the world. ”

"My uncle's words are right, but my father doesn't believe it, and there are many people who don't believe."

"So your father asked you to come over and talk to your uncle, right?"

Li Yi's face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed and said:

"Huh...... In fact, the nephew also wanted to find out, but the father said that it was an exaggeration of the royal guest and was frightened by a few outsiders. ”

"Yes, a few people from other worlds are panicking, and it's really a big fuss. But you have also fought on the battlefield, which of the more than ten firearms seen in the Central Plains is not imitated from the Tianchuan weapon of the Changsun Kingdom, what a power the world can see, is this fake? ”

"But everyone in the world knows that the heavenly ship is a treasure given by heaven to the eldest grandson, and it is said that it floated from the sea, how can there be such a huge ship in the world."

Bai Liyan smiled bitterly, shook her head and looked at her stupid nephew:

"Everything in the world can be made, how can there be no reason why you can't build 30,000 stone boats. Xianguo can now have 10,000 stone boats, and 30,000 stone ships are also sooner or later. The so-called gift from heaven is just to put gold on one's face. ”

"What does my uncle mean is that there are really armpit-shaped monsters outside the North Sea?"

"It's not what I mean, it's a living monster, it's very close to the eldest grandson, and the Central Plains will be discovered sooner or later. It is not too early, and you should go home early, lest your mother worry about you. ”

"Well, my nephew is leaving."

Li Yi saluted, turned around and left. When she left, Zhou Kong frowned and was worried, she said:

"Could it be that you had known about this?"

Bai Liyan nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Well, after returning to the Central Plains from the Southern Expedition thirteen years ago, I sent someone to inquire, but it wasn't until this year that I didn't know that there were armpit eyes in the northern hemisphere, and the strange people who couldn't kill them, the Xu State monster that circulated in the city of Chenling before was caused by the invasion of the human body by the blood of the armpit people, so it was not only the armpit people who were terrible, but there was a kind of dwarf among the armpit people, and its blood could cause people to become monsters and go crazy, which was very terrifying."

Zhou Kong's face sank like water when he heard the news, and his eyes flashed with disbelief and fear. Seeing her shocked gaffe, Bai Liyan hurriedly comforted her and said:

"Don't worry, my husband has been actively preparing for war all these years, and if it really comes to that time, the Xian army may not be at a disadvantage."

"Really?"

Zhou Kong asked stupidly, and Bai Liyan nodded affirmatively and said:

"Don't worry, the husband is Langzhong, and he knows best how to kill a life, even if they are a monster."

These words came out of his own mouth, and Bai Liyan felt ashamed of his profession as a doctor. In his previous life, he saved people, and in this life, he killed countless people, which cannot but be said to be an irony.

On the way back to the Legations, he had already considered it clear that if he could not stop the armpit attack by physical means, he would have to resort to chemical means as a last resort.

In the next few days, the clouds continued to shroud Jinye, Ji Feng and Ji Tongdan, who were familiar with or had something to do with it, all came to inquire in detail, and public opinion continued to spread with the news, causing public opinion to be widely discussed, and the attitude was almost one-sided as expected.

There are two congenital deficiencies in this matter, one of which is that the inside information is Bai Li Yan and Yu Ke, who knows that Bai Li Yan concocted and fabricated it to achieve ulterior purposes.

Second, this matter has been separated by 18 years, and it has been quiet for 18 years, and now it is suddenly fried with cold rice, which aggravates the worry about the first article.

As for where the heavenly ship of the eldest grandson country came from, the news announced by the royal guest was sudden, and the envoy of the eldest grandson had no way to deal with it, and before receiving domestic instructions, he could only insist that it was a "heavenly gift", otherwise he would slap himself in the face and slap the lord of the country in the face. Coupled with Bailiyan's previous blackmail, the eldest grandson Guo did not want to see him, and I am afraid that even if he knows the truth in the future, most of them will not put gold on Bailiyan's face.

Therefore, after fermenting for a few days, this matter actually faded and calmed down, and the spearhead began to point at Bailiyan.

Immediately after October 18, Bailiyan received a secret letter from the king of Xian, Wei and Xian reached a secret agreement, Xianguo promised not to send troops, in exchange for the night pearl of the defense of the country and 50,000 slaves and their families, Xianguo will exchange steel and pig iron for cattle, sheep and horses, their skins and other products.

Night Pearl and 50,000 slaves will be cashed in after the armistice between Wei Guo and Changsun, and the horses and iron materials will be delivered in Qianyue Mountain by July next year.
