240, Yu Ji's reputation
Zhu Wei admired Zhou Xin a little, although this person's military ability is average, but he can be so righteous and unselfish, which is really rare. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Yuyan and Yu on the side were also relieved when they saw Zhou Xin's statement, they also knew that military power was a big problem for the joint operations of the two sides at the moment.
Originally, Wang Lang was not familiar with the military, so he handed over all military things to Zhou Xin to be in charge.
And now Wang Lang handed over all the soldiers and horses of the generals to Zhu Wei to command, but Zhu Wei's official identity is just the captain of Yuzhang County, and his status is actually the same as Zhou Xin's.
In addition, Zhu Wei's age is also below Zhou Xin, to be honest, his military qualifications are far inferior to Zhou Xin, if he changes someone, he is afraid that he will never be convinced by Zhu Wei, and he is not willing to easily let Zhu Wei intervene in the army under his control.
Originally, Wang Yuyan also thought about how to deal with Zhou Xin's unwillingness to obey discipline for Zhu Wei, and tried to transfer Zhou Xin to other places, and Yu Fu's coming this time also meant to reconcile the relationship between Zhu Wei and Zhou Xin on behalf of Wang Lang.
But now Zhou Xin has no such thoughts at all, and basically regards himself as an ordinary general, completely obeying Zhu Wei's arrangement.
Naturally, everyone was happy.
Next, Wang Yuyan and Yu Fu talked in detail about various trivial matters of logistics and military preparations, and afterwards Yu Pan had to go to Shanyin County to report to Wang Lang about the military strategic arrangements this time.
Mu Lan put away the map of Qiantang County again, and together with Zhu Wei and Zhou Xin, he prepared a joint camp between the two armies, joint training and combat and so on.
I won't say much about these trivial matters, but I just said that Zhu Wei brought his 3,000 Shanyue elite soldiers to the military camp on Huiji's side and stationed them, and after they were combined with Huiji's 7,000 soldiers, they set up a secret black powder research workshop at the original military camp.
Here, Zhu Wei took turns to select 500 Shanyue elite soldiers to guard it closely, and then transferred more than 100 blacksmiths, carpenters and medical craftsmen from Shanyin County to secretly study black powder in the name of building siege equipment.
The first requirement for this black powder is flammability, and then the explosive power in a confined space.
Zhu Wei didn't want to use black powder to develop firearms such as muskets, but just hoped to develop black powder with a certain explosive power that was enough to blow up the city gates.
In this way, when attacking other cities in the future, the same method of blowing open the city gate with black powder can be used to attack the city.
Therefore, the blacksmith and carpenter that Zhu Wei found are actually a kind of cover-up, mainly depending on the doctor's ability to dispense, anyway, Zhu Wei's black powder formula is roughly set, and the rest is just the configuration of the specific proportion.
And in fact, many of the doctors and craftsmen in these years are like Daomen alchemists who can configure pills or something, and let them develop black powder, which is also helpless under the lack of chemical professionals in these years.
In addition, Zhu Wei did begin to investigate and find local Taoists and monks in Huiji, especially those who were good at alchemy.
Soon Zhu Wei really inquired about Yu Ji's whereabouts, of course, Yu Ji is not as divine as reported in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, according to the news that Zhu Wei inquired, Yu Ji now seems to be living in semi-seclusion near Ganxi Village in Shanyin County, Huiji County, and will travel and preach in Huiji and Wu County on weekdays, and by the way, he uses his medical skills and talismans to treat the common people or something.
Yu Ji's reputation among the rural people is indeed very big, and many people respect him as Yu Lao Immortal, even if it is a lot of wealthy families in Huiji and Wu County, they also know Yu Ji's name.
It is said that this Yu Ji is in a semi-secluded state because he does not live in the deep mountains and old forests, but has built a dojo that looks like a Taoist temple in Ganxi Village.
Yu Ji burned incense and read Taoist scriptures in the dojo, and occasionally opened the altar to preach the Fa, and in this dojo, Yu Ji also accepted about 20 disciples.
After studying for a period of time, there are no less than Ji disciples, and they will also disperse to the land of Huiji and Wu County, and they will also build a Taoist temple-like retreat in the local area, responsible for promoting the Tao of Yu Ji, and will also use Fu Shui or something to treat the surrounding people.
It can be said that this Yu Ji through his disciples, he can be regarded as creating a small force in Huiji and Wujun people.
It's no wonder that the original Sun Ce would be jealous of Ji, and now Zhu Wei feels that everything Yu Ji did is similar to what Zhang Jiao did before he rebelled, but Yu Ji did not develop elsewhere, and only preached in the two counties of Huiji and Wu County.
But in this way, Yu Ji does have a deep mass base in Huiji and Wu County, although on the surface it seems that Yu Ji has not done anything, but only spreads Taoism, treats the people, and accepts money donations from local people and wealthy households.
Except for Yu Ji's disciples who traveled everywhere and carried weapons with them to guard against thieves, it seems that they did not organize the people to establish a military organization or anything.
But every time Yu Ji held an altar to teach the Dharma, people from all over the country gathered there, and each time he could attract at least four or five thousand people.
Therefore, according to Yu Ji's prestige in Huiji and Wu County, if he really rises up and calls for something, it is estimated that he can also encourage thousands of people to respond at once.
Of course, now Zhu Wei doesn't care what Yu Ji thinks, anyway, Wu County and Huiji are not his territory, even if Yu Ji really rebels, it will not involve anything on Zhu Wei's side.
Zhu Wei now only cares about whether this Yu Ji can do alchemy, and whether he can help him configure black powder.
In addition, Zhu Weida heard that Yu Ji preached the Taoist scriptures is the so-called Taiping Sutra "Taiping Qing Lingshu", which is said to be inherited from the Taoism of Nanhua Laoxian, and there seems to be a real person and the heavenly master in the scriptures on the question of cultivation, as well as the cultivation of the immortal cultivators, such as Bigu, food, nourishment, house, divination, surveying, etc., in the land of Huiji and Wujun, there are many scholars, powerful and wealthy families, all of whom are practicing in accordance with the Taiping technique taught by Yu Ji.
But Zhu Wei doesn't know what the relationship between Yu Ji's so-called "Taiping Qing Collar Book" and the original Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Technique" has anything to do with it?
Of course, Zhu Wei didn't want to find the relationship between Yu Ji and Zhang Jiao, so he arrested Yu Ji and punished him, but Zhu Wei thought that the "Taiping Technique" in the Three Kingdoms game system is also a treasure book, which can improve intelligence 5 and politics 5.
So if Yu Ji also has a book like "Taiping Yaoshu" in his hand, can it also be recognized by the system and can improve intelligence and politics?
So after thinking about it, Zhu Wei decided to go to meet this old immortal in person, and now Zhu Wei had found out that Yu Ji was in his dojo and did not go out to travel.
So on this day, Zhu Wei found Mu Lan, took three hundred guards and went to the Ganxi Village Dojo where Yu Ji was.
This Ganxi Village is only half a day's journey from San'in County, and it is said that there is a local stream called Daganxi, hence the name Ganxi Village.
The beach near this Daganxi is called Ganxi Beach, and Yuji's dojo is built next to the plum forest on the side of Ganxi Beach, which is also a beautiful place......
