Ye Ling smiled again: "On this battlefield, it is not only the charge that has merit, artillery is an extremely important technology, with your attainments in this area, it will be easy to make achievements in the future, why is it difficult to be a general?" But just now you talked about the benefits of this artillery for a long time, but the disadvantages haven't been mentioned yet, isn't it? ”

Hearing Ye Ling's words, Ling Zhen's heart was hot, and he was so excited that he almost didn't cry, he was used to being looked down upon by others, where did he think that this Lord Du would value himself so much? Could it be that I met a noble person, and I want to make great achievements from now on?

Ling Zhen was excited and threw all the previous panic out of the clouds, he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he didn't seize it desperately, it would be too stupid, the ancestors would probably crawl out of the ground angrily.

He hurriedly said: "Don't dare to hide it from your lord, in fact, there are three main shortcomings of this artillery now, one is that it is not flexible in movement, and it can only play a role in defensive warfare; The second is that it is susceptible to the weather, and the power of gunpowder is much less when it is wet, and the success rate will be greatly reduced; In addition, the cost is too high, so there are few applications at this stage, and more just fireworks and trumpet guns. ”

However, Ling Zhen immediately added: "In fact, Xiaguan's grandfather's generation began to study countermeasures, but it was indeed very difficult, and there was a lack of sufficient financial and material support, so the progress was slow, and my father was injured by gunpowder in the process of research, and he could only lie in bed for the rest of his life, but if he could get strong support, Xiaguan was confident that he could greatly improve these shortcomings." ”

Ye Ling asked, "Then in your opinion, how much support is needed to be enough?" ”

Ling Zhen said cautiously: "This, this is at least 30,000 guan, if you are really nervous, 20,000 guan is fine, in addition, you also need some ore saltpeter sulfur and other materials, and the lower official is really too busy alone, it is best to allocate twenty or thirty people to the subordinate to dispatch it." ”

When Ling Zhen said these words, he was extremely worried in his heart, he had actually mentioned this to Shangguan a long time ago, but what he got was either sneering or ridicule, and even some relatives and friends advised him to work with peace of mind and stop thinking nonsense, after all, this expenditure was already huge, even the director of the five grades of his Shangguan could not call the shots, and he didn't know if Ye Ling could support it.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ling just smiled disapprerovingly and said, "Is this a little enough?" If I allocate you 100,000 yuan in funds, use all the materials as much as possible, and then transfer 200 men from the artillery battalion to call you up, will I be able to speed up the process? ”

Ye Ling's words were not loud, nor did he have any impassioned meaning, but in Ling Zhen's ears, it was like a thunderbolt in the Nine Heavens, he was stupid on the spot, he had never received even a thousand yuan of support from above for so many years before, this time he thought that he had a chance to get ten thousand yuan, but he didn't expect to get one hundred thousand yuan in the end!

Not to mention that there were a large number of materials and as many as two hundred people, which even his superior supervisor could not control, but Ye Ling allocated it to him without hesitation!

After being stunned for a long time, Ling Zhen woke up from the shock, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and at the same time burst into tears.

Ye Ling helped him up with kind words and comforted him a few words, and then directly arranged a position for Ling Zhen as the head of the fifth-level artillery battalion, and said that he would be rewarded after he had merits, with his current status and the position of commander, the fifth- and sixth-grade officials could be promoted and promoted at will, as long as they didn't go too far.

Ling Zhen went happily, and at the same time, he had already followed Ye Ling as a god, and it was estimated that even if he was allowed to leave the court and follow Ye Ling, it would be the same.

It's just that he really doesn't know that Ye Ling's true identity is really the opponent of the imperial court.

A few days after Ling Zhen left, Hu Yanzhuo and the other three also came from Yanzhou, they came in the dust, they didn't care about resting, they just washed up and reported to Ye Ling's Mansion.

It turned out that the envoy had also informed them of the situation of this expedition, and Hu Yanzhuo and the three of them were overjoyed to learn that Lord Du had personally named them to come over this time, and what general didn't want to go to the battlefield?

So as soon as he received the notice, he immediately took the two lieutenant generals Han Tao and Peng Xi and the three thousand chain horses he was proud of and went straight to Tokyo, this chain of horses is the ancestor of the Northern Song Dynasty founding general Hu Yanzhuo, after dozens of battles with the Liao State after painstakingly researched the cavalry tactics, but unfortunately the chain horses have not yet been fully formed, he himself has passed away first.

But future generations dare not forget this long-cherished wish of this ancestor, and they have been continuing to figure out and study, and they have reached great success in Hu Yanzhuo's generation!

I was also very happy to hear that Hu Yanzhuo visited Ye Ling, in the original plot, among the strongest five tiger generals in Liangshan, the big sword Guan Sheng was a martial saint, the leopard head Lin Chong was the first in seniority and merit, the two-gun general Dong Ping was unparalleled, and the thunderbolt Qin Ming was extremely powerful, in contrast, this pair of whips Hu Yanzhuo did not seem to have a very strong sense of existence, and there was no particularly obvious advantage.

But Ye Ling didn't think so, the other four were really strong, but when it came to leading troops to fight, Hu Yanzhuo was probably the first, not to mention anything else, just with the rampage he trained, the three thousand chain horses that he looked at were enough to laugh at the rivers and lakes!

So in the final one hundred and eight generals finale, he was also the only one among the five generals who could survive to the end, and even played a role in the later confrontation against Jin Guo.

Ye Ling immediately asked people to bring these three people to the inner hall, Hu Yanzhuo and the three of them hurriedly saluted to meet the marshal, and then several people sat down, Hu Yanzhuo They had time to observe Ye Ling carefully this time, and they couldn't help but be amazed that Ye Ling was so young.

However, Han Tao and Peng Xi are not enough, Hu Yanzhuo was originally from a famous family, and his eyesight and mind are far from being comparable to these two, so he can faintly feel the murderous aura and coercion on Ye Ling's body, although he is also wondering where did this legendary new favorite of the imperial court who soared into the sky come from these temperaments at a young age, but he definitely did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest, Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Song Dynasty back then, didn't he already master the world at the age of less than thirty?

Therefore, this conversation was extremely pleasant, and they were extremely satisfied with each other, seeing that it was getting late, Ye Ling directly ordered his subordinates to set up a banquet for Hu Yanzhuo and the other three to catch the wind and wash the dust - with Ye Ling's current status, there are naturally countless servants in this mansion, and there are several first-class celebrity chefs, and in an instant, a table of luxurious banquets with eight cold and eight hot has been put up.

Of course, Hu Yanzhuo and the three of them also felt honored, and after repeatedly thanking them, they stayed to accompany the young coach to dine together, and by the way, it could be regarded as an exchange of feelings, during the banquet, Ye Ling seemed to ask disapprovingly about the two copper whips in Hu Yanzhuo's hands.
