Luo Xuan left more than 1,000 soldiers outside the city to clean up the capture of the Chenzhou soldiers' garrison, and ordered the 600 holy soldiers on the other side of the river to capture the more than 1,300 Chenzhou soldiers under their guard, and then escorted them into the city to guard. He himself personally led www.biquge.info more than 2,300 other holy soldiers of the Holy First Army, under the guidance of Shi Huanzhi and the Suspicious Yong Battalion, to enter Ningyuan City and receive the surrender of Ningyuan County's order.

As for the chief soldier Sun Yingzhao, last night he finally escaped from the city with a rope under the escort of his own guards, but he was discovered by the holy army detectives who patrolled the night and was imprisoned. Early this morning, Luo Xuan interrogated the greetings a little, and then asked people to escort Daozhou to the Holy King for processing.

Ning Yuanzhi County is an old man who believes in Buddhism, and he has long ignored the county government affairs. For this kind of mediocre local dog official, Luo Xuan hated it very much, and he didn't take a look at it. If it weren't for what the Holy King said, in the future, for the Han officials who betrayed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if they were mediocre, they would have to be greeted with a good face, except for the great crimes that must be severely punished to appease the people, the rest of the people would have to buy a horse's bones and win them over. In the future, deal with it slowly.

Luo Xuan didn't have so many crooked thoughts to deal with this bad old man, his thoughts had already been placed in the county government and the official treasury.

did not disappoint him, Ningyuan is a rare hilly and rich place in the mountains, the county believes in Buddhism, although he is also greedy for ink, but it is not serious. The Holy Army found more than 24,000 taels of silver from the silver treasury alone, which made the brothers of the Suspicious Battalion who led the way indignant: Let you usually pick the door tightly, and you don't want to give any silver to the brothers of the Suspicious Battalion, and now it is cheap and anti-thief, oh no, the Holy Army!

The rest of the rice, salt, official cloth and other items were also stored in the official warehouse, which was more than the capture of Daozhou City.

Probably due to the fact that Ning Yuan has practiced martial arts since ancient times, coupled with the fact that there are regiments such as the Doubtful Battalion training in the territory, swords and spears are piled up in the arsenal. There are also the 5 cupola cannons purchased by Shi Huanzhang Tuoning Yuanzhi County from Guangdong, which have not yet been used, and have also been captured by the Holy Army. The rest of the shotguns were 500 shotguns, more than 20,000 catties of gunpowder, and tens of thousands of bullets, which made Luo Xuan smile and feel happy.

Just as Luo Xuan was in Ningyuan County, the guards came to report that the reinforcements from Daozhou had arrived outside Ningyuan City, and it was the 6,000 Holy Army soldiers led by Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang who had already led them to set up camp in the north of the city.

Luo Xuan was overjoyed, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang came with the Holy Second Army and the Holy Third Army, just so that they could take a look at Ningyuan City captured by Luo's Holy First Army, and then look at these captures, let them envy them! However, at this time, he couldn't rush to meet them, as if he was deliberately showing off.

When Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were in Daozhou, they heard that the city wall of Ningyuan was high and thick, and remembered that Luo Xuan's Holy First Army did not carry large firearms, so they brought nearly 60 artillery pieces of various sizes from Daozhou. I never thought that before I arrived at Ningyuan City, I heard from the sentry I encountered on the road that not only the Chenzhou soldiers of the Qing Demon Sun Yingzhao were completely annihilated by them, but even Ningyuan City was easily taken by them. I can't help but regret it, I knew earlier, I still had to work hard to pull what artillery, and I marched directly and hurriedly, and I could rush to Ningyuan City in a day and a half, and I could still grab some credit and capture. No, the credit is not stained, how can the seizure score points!

The two asked their subordinates to arrange the camp of the army, but they entered Ningyuan City surrounded by the guards, and were about to find a place to eat lunch, so they came to Luo Xuan to cry pitifully.

Luo Xuan hurriedly had lunch, and the seizures in the tent of the former Chenzhou barracks across the river outside the city were also cleared out. Fortunately, the Chenzhou soldiers surrendered quickly, so that the holy army could extinguish the burning camp tent in time, and some of the things inside were not burned much.

In the Chenzhou barracks, a total of 18,000 taels of silver were seized, and more than 10 boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and the like were snatched from the people in the villages all the way from Chenzhou, which was cheaper for the Taiping Holy Army. In addition, there are more than 200 loads of grain and 800 shotguns, and what excites Luo Jian the most is that there are 4 600-pound Shenwei general cannons and 2 iron-core copper cannons with thousands of catties hidden in the Chenzhou barracks, which are big killers for siege, Sun Yingzhao took them to Daozhou, presumably preparing to use them to attack the city.

Some other cold weapons such as knives and spears, Luo Xuan didn't feel anything anymore. The last 50,000 catties of gunpowder and more than 70 cannons made him ecstatic again, so much gunpowder, the problem of gunpowder shortage does not have to worry for the time being. At the beginning, when the Taiping army was besieged in Yong'an City and ran out of ammunition, it was still the outline to lead the troops to break through the defense line of the Qing army in Gusu on the east road, and seize the gunpowder of the Qing army. Since then, Luo Gang has always believed that gunpowder is the most precious thing, without gunpowder, shotguns and artillery are scrap metal, even sticks are inferior, all, Luo Gang has been very strict with the seized gunpowder.

However, the Holy Army itself does not make gunpowder, which is always a big problem! It's better to raise this issue with the Holy King sooner rather than later! After reading the list of seizures, Luo Xuan muttered secretly in his heart.

In fact, what Luo Outline thought of, as Feng Shaoguang, who came from the gunpowder era in later generations, could not have imagined? It's just that, first, gunpowder was enough a while ago, and he didn't have time to be busy with gunpowder; Second, he did not have at hand the key raw materials for making gunpowder -- saltpeter and sulfur. The problem of nitrate is slightly better, the dirt in the village is taken from bricks or topsoil and ground into powder mixed with grass ash and boiled, and some nitrate powder can always be obtained, but sulfur must be purchased from other places.

Although the Manchu Dynasty's control of sulfur was not as strict as it was later, it also prohibited the private trade of large quantities of sulfur. There is, of course, black market sulphur trading, but not so much.

Therefore, Feng Shaoguang has not yet begun to start the self-manufacture of gunpowder. However, not manufacturing for the time being does not mean that he does not want to make it, he can be said to attach more importance to gunpowder than anyone else. When he was teaching the officers and men of the Holy Army at night and above, he would tell the junior officers of these Holy Army, and when he went to various places, he inquired about the nearby minerals, not only gold, silver, copper, and iron mines, but also coal mines, sulfur, and saltpeter.

Feng Shaoguang remembered that the largest production of saltpeter was from Jiangyou, Sichuan, but in the mountains and forests of Hunan, especially southern Hunan, there were not only a small amount of saltpeter minerals, but also sulfur minerals. He believed that as the Holy Army gradually expanded its territory, it would always be reported on this.

Of course, Luo Outline would not know this. After seeing the seized things, he arranged for the officers and soldiers of the Holy First Army to classify all kinds of seizures, load them into the holy treasury, some silver taels and extra muskets and other things, and let people prepare the carriage and send it to Daozhou.

suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang yet, didn't they arrive in Ningyuan? was puzzled, someone outside the door laughed loudly, it was Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang who came.

"Brother, we haven't seen anyone for a long time looking for you, but I didn't expect you to hide in the warehouse and count your treasure!" Lin Fengxiang said with a smile. Li Kaifang is reserved and doesn't speak much, usually Lin Fengxiang speaks. And although Luo Outline joined the Holy Sect later than them, he was bold, and many old brothers in the sect, even including the Holy King, regarded him as the eldest brother, so although Lin Fengxiang's position was higher than that of Luo Dagang, he did not dare to make a mistake in front of him and call him brother to show respect and closeness.

"Brother Lin, Brother Li, you are in a hurry to find me, and even found here, I'm afraid you don't have any good intentions, right?" Luo Xuan was very proud, the mountains of seized materials in the treasury could make the brothers of friendly soldiers greedy, and it was also a kind of enjoyment!

"Nothing escapes my brother's eyes! Most of the brothers in my Holy Second Army are still equipped with wooden sticks and branches, and the brothers have gone to the battlefield and lost the face of the Holy King. I also hope that my brother will give me the Holy Second Army in everything, and the younger brother will thank my brother for the 6,000 brothers of the Holy Second Army! Lin Fengxiang said with a grin.

"Brother Luo, my holy three armies also fight with tree branches, just like savages. There isn't much gunpowder, and I hope my brother will give me relief! Li Kaifang also hurriedly interjected.

"You guys! Fortunately, my Holy First Army has really captured a lot of good things this time, looking at the face of the Holy King, what you said is so pitiful, I am in charge, so I will divide half of it to you and distribute it to you. However, next time there is a seizure, you have to double it back to me! Luo Xuan laughed, seeing that the rest of the two army commanders begged him for capture, the sourness in his heart was really, comfortable!

Luo Xuan talked to them again about how to break through Ningyuan City, and couldn't help but praise Chen Yucheng's kid again. Before they knew it, the three of them realized that it was already dark, and they dispersed.
