(Chapter 2 arrives, and Chapter 3 is available before 3 p.m.) ）

Although the end of July is still summer, in a place like Shaanxi, there is already a little chill after nightfall, Xiao Tianjian frowned, standing in the Juyi Hall with his hands in his hands, but holding a note in his hand.

Since their Xingtian Army repelled the official army of Fengxiang Mansion, it has been half a month since they returned to Tianlong Village, and there has been no other action from Fengxiang Mansion, presumably because they have been made out of strength by their Xingtian Army, so that the Huangyang area has temporarily returned to calm.

Taking advantage of this rare half-month period of peace, the Xingtian Army was reorganized again, and at the same time began to use the recent gains to vigorously improve the quality of the equipment of the generals, a group of displaced women were recruited, in the temporary camp outside Tianlong Village, began to rush to make cotton armor, the displaced people labored to provide food for the Xingtian Army, more than 200 women started at the same time, the flying needles and threads were busy, and the progress was quite fast.

Fortunately, after half a month, the work of building armor in the blacksmith shop of Tianlong Village has also been greatly increased due to the substantial increase in manpower and the replenishment of raw materials, and the output has been greatly increased, and batches of three-edged spear heads have been created and replaced into the hands of spearmen.

What's even more gratifying is that Yang Changshou finally lived up to Xiao Tianjian's expectations, and after half a month of busy work, he successfully made the first bird gun made by the Xingtian Army, the black barrel exudes a compelling momentum, and directly adopts a new type of butt, which is obviously different from the captured bird guns used by the Xingtian Army before, which makes Xiao Tianjian very happy.

According to the new rules of the Xingtian Army, the weapons made by the blacksmith must be tried by themselves, and only after they are confirmed to be qualified can they be handed over to the soldiers for use, so Yang Changshou is no exception, and he first tried to fire two shots at the wooden target fifty steps away in public to test the quality of the bird gun he made.

After the two shots were tried, everyone immediately surrounded the thick wooden target, checked the bullet holes on the wooden target, and was pleased to find that the two lead bullets actually hit the wooden target, indicating that the accuracy of this bird gun built by Yang Changshou is indeed no problem, and it can also be accurate fifty steps away, which is already quite sophisticated, and at the same time, these two lead bullets almost penetrate the wooden target one and a half inches thick, indicating that the power of this bird gun is also considerable, and it has surpassed the power of all the bird guns they currently have. There is no problem in maintaining the lethality of the human body beyond seventy steps, if it can be mass-produced, then it will play a very big role in improving the future combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army.

"Is the general quite satisfied with the small bird's gun?" Yang Changshou was a little complacent and leaned in front of Xiao Tianjian and asked Xiao Tianjian.

"Excellent! The gun tube is very well built, and the accuracy is okay, but the power is still not very satisfactory, if it can be done a hundred steps away and still have this power, it will be even better! Xiao Tianjian was not content to play with the bird gun in his hand and said.

Yang Changshou frowned and said, "If you can break the armor a hundred steps away, it's really not easy to do!" Except for the Lumi Gun, I'm afraid this bird gun is very difficult to do! I'm afraid it will cost more iron, and the chamber will be thicker! I'm afraid it's inconvenient to use! ”

"It's not a problem, as long as it can make it more powerful, the gun tube is thicker, heavier, and more consumables are nothing, it's a big deal to add a bracket below, in short, the more powerful this thing is, the better, as long as the soldier can carry it alone! But don't be in a hurry now, after all, it's just getting started, and it's rare to be able to create a bird gun of this quality now, you can think about it in the future, but don't rush to build it right now! Even so, it is quite satisfying to me, Xingtianjun has always been rewarded for meritorious service, come and take ten taels of silver to Master Yang to reward Master Yang's merits! After Xiao Tianjian said his thoughts, he handed the fire gun to a fire gun hand who was looking at this fire gun, and ordered it in public.

Xiao Tianjian immediately rewarded Yang Changshou with ten taels of silver for this reason, in order to reward his merits, so that those craftsmen were all excited about it, you must know that they used to work, and it would be quite good to get the salary, when did they receive the reward! But when they work in the Xingtian Army, they can still receive rewards, so that the enthusiasm of these craftsmen is much higher.

Of course, there is another good news here, that is, Gao Cheng, who once made stone mines, in the past half a month, used the existing raw materials at hand to make a batch of gunpowder for the Xingtian Army, and at the same time once again assembled dozens of stone mines, enhancing the armament of the Xingtian Army, although this thing is too bulky and not enough to be used as a grenade, but when necessary, it can still have a surprising winning effect, so Xiao Tianjian also rewarded Gao Cheng with ten taels of silver, which made many people's eyes red.

Gao Cheng's younger brother in Tianlong Village after this period of careful treatment, the wound on the leg has been completely healed, and the body has also recovered health, as a reward for Gao Cheng, his younger brother was also returned to Liu Yaoben's hands by Xiao Tianjian, and became a member of the child soldiers of the Xingtian Army.

And the remaining batch of recruits in the new barracks, after half a month of hard work, have also completed the preliminary queue training, and began to transfer to the training of the battle subject, and will soon be able to use it, which is particularly important for the improvement of the combat power of the Xingtian Army, Liu Bao, the sentry general of the new barracks, makes Xiao Tianjian quite satisfied.

After this period of recuperation, the lightly wounded among the wounded in the two battles of Lijiazhuang and Shifosi have gradually returned to the team one after another, leaving only a few seriously injured who are still receiving treatment in the medical camp, but there is no problem in saving the lives of most of them, and these wounded will become the backbone of the Xingtian Army in the future, which is what Xiao Tianjian is most concerned about.

After the battle of the Stone Buddha Temple, the relationship between Fu Deming and the generals of the Xingtian Army has also improved a lot, and he is no longer rejected by these people, and Fu Deming never mentioned leaving, so Xiao Tianjian officially appointed Fu Deming as a member of the army and began to work in the Xingtian Army.

After Fu Deming decided to stay, he reorganized the various rules and regulations issued by the Xingtian Army until now, regrouped and classified them and polished the words to make them easier to remember, and began to issue various departments of the Xingtian Army to do things according to the rules.

At the same time, Fu Deming also had a discussion with Yan Chongxi and other generals who were once officers and soldiers, sorted out some rules about marching and garrisoning in their memories, and handed them over to Xiao Tianjian to personally review and revise them, and then added them to the rules and regulations, perfecting the relevant military regulations of the Xingtian Army.

In short, although half a month is not a long time, it is very useful for the Xingtian Army, and the Xingtian Army has done a lot of things in this half a month, making the entire structure of the Xingtian Army much more reasonable.

But this peaceful day came to an end after Xiao Tianjian received a secret letter from Fengxiang Mansion.

"Stupid! Too stupid! Chen Qiyu is so stupid! Such a great opportunity, he actually got it to such a point, it really deserves to be killed! ......" After Fu Deming took the secret letter handed to him by Xiao Tianjian, after reading it roughly, he immediately said angrily, but before he finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth, because he suddenly realized that he had lost his words, because at this time he was no longer the poor Xiucai who was worried about the country and the people before, but also became a troublemaker, so it was obviously taboo to scold Chen Qiyu for being too stupid in front of Xiao Tianjian, so he quickly stopped talking, and his face showed embarrassment.

Xiao Tianjian squinted at Fu Deming, who looked embarrassed, knowing that it was impossible to want Fu Deming to change his way of thinking at once, out of thinking inertia, Fu Deming would scold Chen Qiyu for being stupid, but he would not be unhappy because of this, in the end, what should have come is still coming, history is still developing according to the original line, Chen Qiyu still fell for the rebels' plan to surrender, which also confirmed his arrival, at least so far, it has not affected the development of the wheel of history, so he frowned and said to Fu Deming: " Mr. Fu, in fact, there is no difference between me and King Gao Yingxiang now, I hope you will be cautious in the future! After all, this matter is a bad thing for the government and the court, and I Xiao think that as long as it is unfavorable to the government, we should be happy! ”

Fu Deming nodded embarrassedly and bowed to Xiao Tianjian and said: "Please forgive me, Fu Mou just had a momentary feeling, and he actually forgot his current identity, and he will pay more attention in the future!" ”

Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "Mr. Fu doesn't have to blame himself, after all, you have just joined our army, this identity change is too fast, it is not wrong to think so for a while!"

But what you said is not bad, Chen Qiyu did make a stupid move this time, so that the good situation was wasted by him! If I were you, I would say the same! You don't have to be upset!

Let's talk about it, since this matter has become a foregone conclusion, how do you see the situation developing next? ”

Seeing that Xiao Tianjian didn't care about his gaffe just now, Fu Deming calmed down, read the secret letter in his hand again, thought for a while, and then replied: "In my opinion, Gao Yingxiang and those mutant people army will get out of the carriage gorge this time, and they will definitely enter the evil tiger and exit the gate, and quickly leave Shangluo and jump out of the encirclement of the official army and march towards the hinterland of Shaanxi. Chen Qiyu has now lost the opportunity to exterminate him, presumably the news of this matter has reached the capital, and the current saint can't spare Chen Qiyu, and he will definitely be removed from his post and investigated! ……”

"What happens to Chen Qiyu is not something I care about, what I am most concerned about now is what we should do after a large number of displaced people leave the carriage gorge!

Your analysis is right, after Gao Yingxiang and other righteous troops from all walks of life get out of the carriage gorge, they will immediately jump out of the encirclement of the official army and sweep the hinterland of Shaanxi, and the place where we live now is also the key to Shaanxi, and it will be difficult to be single outside the world! If we still stay here, when the officers and soldiers free up their hands to pursue Gao Yingxiang and them, they will never sit idly by and ignore us, with our strength, we are not the opponent of a large number of officers and troops at the moment, what should we do next? Xiao Tianjian interrupted Fu Deming's words with some impatience.

Fu Deming nodded and said: "This is also the matter I want to talk about next, according to the following, no matter whether these rebels will come to us or not, it is definitely not advisable to stay here for a long time!" It's better to make plans to leave this place early! ”

Xiao Tianjian sighed slightly, looked towards the outside of the Juyi Hall, looked at the busy people outside, and said with some reluctance: "It's a pity that this Tianlong Village is a pity, I think I only took a few brothers at the beginning, and it took more than half a year to finally lay down this place to stop, but now I want to abandon it, it's really a little reluctant!" ”

"The general trend is like this, if you want to come to the big boss, you are also a person with ambitions, and those who want to achieve great things should not be limited to the small profits in front of you, and the big boss will not be reluctant to see such a small Tianlong Village in front of you!" Fu Deming looked at Xiao Tianjian's back, and said to him with a flickering eye, and at the same time, he was secretly wondering in his heart, if Xiao Tianjian was reluctant to let go of the Tianlong Village in front of him, then would he have to re-examine Xiao Tianjian's decision to follow him.

"Huh! I just feel it, just a Tianlong Village, how can it make me stop! Wouldn't that make Mr. Fu underestimate me, Xiao?

But how to go, we still need to make a plan, we must not listen to this news and run away in panic! In my opinion, if we still stay here, Tianlong Village will become a dead land, after the government releases the tiger back to the mountain, it will immediately mobilize troops and horses to pursue Gao Yingxiang and other Lu Yi soldiers, if my guess is right, this time after the righteous army leaves Shangluo, it will definitely wave its division to the west, Fengxiang Mansion will also bear the brunt, and soon there will be a large number of officers and soldiers here, if we don't go, the officers and soldiers are happy to give them a credit for our heads!

It's just that I want to hear Mr. Fu's opinion, even if we go, how should we go? Xiao Tianjian turned his head and showed a hint of a smile, looked at Fu Deming and said to him.

After Fu Deming listened, he walked to the map of Shaanxi hanging in the hall, looked up, hesitated for a while and said to Xiao Tianjian: "Fu thinks it's better to be a big boss than this......
