Tong Guan was not only angry in his heart, but in the anger, there was more anxiety. In the battle of Liao, all the hopes were only on Zheng Zhi alone.

is really all the hope, all on Zheng Zhi alone. Time is so urgent, how can Tong Guan not be in a hurry.

I also thought that in this Heshuo land, even if the armament is lax, but tens of thousands of horses are scattered, no matter what the combat strength is, it will always be possible. At this point, it seems that it has come to naught.

With these old and weak people into battle, tattered clothes and rusty weapons, they can't even do the role of strengthening the momentum. The enemy will laugh when he sees it, and he will flee when the battle starts. None of the harms will be good.

Tong Guan went back to the south at this time, beating the horse and galloping, and the left and right guards followed extremely hard. Tong Guan is already very aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Zheng Zhi returned to Liangshan from Dulonggang and received 1.5 million yuan of military pay from Sanzhou, and the grain on Liangshan was basically transported out of Shuibo. Naturally, a part of the food and military salaries will also be distributed to Hu Yanzhuo and Han Tao.

Soon after, the army began to withdraw from Shuibo Liangshan and headed for Cangzhou. Hu Yanzhuo also went to Runing, although this time Hu Yanzhuo

Good news has also been issued. The army returned to Cangzhou, and along with the army, there was a huge amount of silver.

On the second day after returning to Cangzhou, Zheng Zhi left the city early in the morning, and his heart was naturally worried about his cannon. The war is really cruel, especially the war between countries, Zheng Zhi just wants to prepare more fully, victory or defeat is too important.

Seven or eight men dragged a black cannon with huge wooden wheels underneath it, and the whole cannon was mounted on a very strong wooden gun carriage.

Even if there are wheels, it takes seven or eight men to drag them.

Zheng Zhi looked at this big guy, his face was full of smiles, he nodded again and again, and said, "Ling Zhen, this is the cannon in someone's heart!" ”

Ling Zhen, who was commanding on the side, was not very happy when he heard this, and replied: "Xianggong, this cannon has been built, and the power is huge, but it is too cumbersome, and it is really difficult to carry, even if it is moved here from the warehouse, more than a dozen men are transported together, and it has been used for a long time." ”

Ling Zhen's implication was that this cannon was not practical on the battlefield. Zheng Zhi didn't think about this question either, and said, "Let's try it and see with me." ”

When Ling Zhen heard this, he naturally began to get busy, although Ling Zhen was not optimistic about the practicality of this cannon, he was also pleased with the successful construction of this cannon.

"Put the muzzle of the cannon this way...

"The wooden frame at the back is supported, and a pit is dug to bury the supporting shelf...

"The muzzle of the gun is pressed down a little, and the back is raised...

Ling Zhen commanded the cannon to be placed, the muzzle of the cannon was aimed, and the target was still the big tree that had been "shaved" before.

Zheng Zhi watched Ling Zhen busy with everything from placement to aiming to loading gunpowder, all of which were commanded by Ling Zhen alone, and others could only fight.

Obviously, no one in Cangzhou has mastered this set of processes. The cannon is only out of this one, and the one who is proficient in using the cannon is only this one. There are too many gaps in the service of artillery into the army, and Zheng Zhi can't help but feel anxious again.

Ling Zhen took a torch to Zheng Zhi's side and asked, "Do you want to light the fire yourself?" ”

Zheng Zhi waved his hand and said: "Ling Zhen, you just light the fire, I'll just take a look, I have something to tell you if I can hit this shot." ”

Hearing this, Ling Zhen stepped forward a few steps forward to light the twist on the cannon, and then took a few steps back, not going far, only a few steps behind the cannon, obviously Ling Zhen was extremely confident in this cannon.

The cannon roared, the muzzle of the cannon burst into flames, and the barrel shook violently.

Immediately, the smoke billowed out, Zheng Zhi's eyes were still looking at the cannon, and the big trees on the mountainside in the distance also broke out with a violent "rattle" sound, and the trunk broke off in response, and continued to roll down the mountain with the canopy.

Zheng Zhi only looked up at the mountainside at this time, and was naturally extremely satisfied with the power of this cannon, and said, "This cannon is very good!" ”

Ling Zhen didn't go to check the cannon body anymore, but only turned around and replied: "Xianggong, this cannon is very powerful, and if you hit the city gate with this cannon, you can smash the city gate with one shot." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded, raised his hand and waved the smoke wafting over, and said, "If you mobilize all the manpower, how many doors can be built in a month?" ”

"If there are enough manpower and raw materials, it should be possible to make three to four doors a month." Ling Zhen already knew that this matter was settled, no matter how much he felt that this cannon was not practical, but this Zheng Xianggong in front of him had obviously made up his mind.

Zheng Zhi turned around and beckoned, Pei Xuan hurriedly walked to the front, and listened to Zheng Zhi say: "Old Pei, recruit more blacksmiths, make every effort to build, raw materials and materials, as long as you need them, go all out to buy them, and let all the fleets that come to Cangzhou bring pig iron and fire nitrate and sulfur, and buy them at a high price." ”

In Zheng Zhi's hands, more than 4 million yuan is a huge amount of money, although it is not enough, it can be luxurious for a while.

"Xianggong, I'm so afraid... Pei Xuan was naturally worried in his heart, and he listened to Zheng Zhi's instructions in front of him, and worked hard to build 50,000 sets of iron armor.

When Pei Xuan heard this order, his head immediately went blank, 50,000 sets of iron armor is an astronomical number, and at this time, he has to make every effort to build this cannon. Pei Xuan is a pragmatic person, although he has just received more than four million yuan brought back by Zheng Zhi, how can this money withstand such an expenditure.

"You will do it with all your might, and I will naturally find a way to solve the matter of money." Zheng Zhi naturally knew what Pei Xuan was going to say.

Pei Xuan didn't answer, just nodded.

Seeing Pei Xuan nodding, Zheng Zhi said to Ling Zhen again: "A cannon requires at least a few skilled people to operate?" ”

"Returning to Xianggong, if it is a normal situation, about twelve people, can barely operate this cannon. If there is a horse to tow, six people can operate this cannon. Ling Zhen replied.

Zheng Zhi thought for a moment in his heart, with full horsepower and manpower, even if he could build five cannons in a month, it would only be sixty cannons in a year, and four hundred people would be enough. Then he said: "Ling Zhen, you immediately start to formulate a code of conduct for artillery operations, strictly stipulate every step of artillery operations, and I will send four hundred people here to study later, and you are responsible for training artillery personnel." ”

"Obey!" Ling Zhen was respectful, these things were naturally not difficult for Ling Zhen, but they were extremely time-consuming.

Zheng Zhi naturally also knew that training skilled gunners was extremely time-consuming, so he had to speed up the time to start working.

Lunch was eaten in the ravine where the cannons were made, and there were a few glasses of wine. Today, Cangzhou is like a huge factory, which is in full swing everywhere, making artillery, armor, weapons, and shipbuilding.

Everywhere outside the city, barracks were being expanded and school grounds were leveled. The men near Cangzhou can also earn a lot of income by working in Qingchi.

Pei Xuan is naturally the busiest, and the prefect Li Gang is also too busy to touch the ground, the matter of acres of land is still continuing, and then he will expand the territory of Sizhou, this matter of acres of land is also one of Zheng Zhi's main sources of rapid economy, and Li Gang is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Shortly after lunch, a few horsemen rushed out of the city to find Zheng Zhi.

Tong Guan rushed from Hejian Mansion to Cangzhou!

Zheng Zhi hit the horse into the city.

In the small hall of Jingluofu, the first Tong Guan, left and right Zheng Zhi and Li Gang.

Seeing the ceremony, Tong Guan slowly took out a book of folds from his arms, and laughed: "Haha... Zheng Zhi, you have really grown up. ”

Zheng Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and carefully looked at the folded cover in Tong Guan's hand, a few big characters "Jingdong West Road Yunzhou Qizhou Thief War Report Collection", Zheng Zhicai reacted, and said with a smile: "En Xiangjian smiled." ”

Tong Guan couldn't stop smiling, opened the fold, and read it casually: "The thief army of more than 50,000 came from the southeast, our army was caught off guard, retreated for 20 miles in a row, and only then did it stabilize the battle line, and it was stalemate for three days, but the thief army was overwhelming, and it could not be broken!" Ha ha... ”

Zheng Zhi heard Tong Guan laughing, and he was even more embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Break it in one battle, break it in one battle." ”

Zheng Zhi was embarrassed to hear it, but on the contrary, Tong Guan nodded again and again, and only said: "Zheng Zhi, you are now well versed in the way of officialdom, this battle report is extremely skillful, and you have three flavors!" In this way, I saved a lot of effort and effort when I went to Tokyo. ”

"En's eyes!" Zheng Zhi didn't know what words to say again, and he was a sycophant.

"Haha... I think back then, you and I were in Huizhou, in Lingzhou. At that time, I saw you fighting horses and charging into battle, invincible, how mighty. is to attack the strong city of Lingzhou, and it is also a hand to capture. Breaking a thief is naturally no problem. Tong Guan praised Zheng Zhi with a smile, and after saying a few words, his expression slowly changed, as if he was reminiscing, as if he was yearning, and then said: "Zheng Zhi, watching you fight is really a pleasure, I want to see you in the battle array, I look forward to it!" ”

Tong Guan is naturally looking forward to it, if Zheng Zhi can still show his might, it will be a big victory in Liao. Tong Guan now, dreaming is a matter of attacking Liao, how can he not look forward to yearning.

Tong Guan said this, even Li Gang on the side also went to see Zheng Zhi again and again, it is really hard to imagine that Tong Guan, as an envoy of the Privy Council, said such a description, how powerful Zheng Zhi was at the beginning.

Zheng Zhi saw Tong Guan's expression, and he seemed to hear the shouts of "General Zheng mighty" in the mouth of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Western Army in Lingzhou City, and the tsunami-like scene of the mountains and tsunamis couldn't help but be blood-swelling, and he no longer seemed to be laughing, and stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, it's just a hundred deaths, it's not a problem." ”

Tong Guan gathered his mood and said: "Zheng Zhi, clean up, lead the troops to Tokyo with me, face the saint, after the face saint, there will be the land of four states, everything must be prepared quickly." ”

Tong Guan came here, after all, for the sake of business, to give Zheng Zhi territory, Zheng Zhi rights, money and food, and Zheng Zhi population. Tong Guan only needs 50,000 soldiers who can fight, as long as he wins a big victory in the battle array.

Zheng Zhi didn't expect that he would go to Beijing again this time, and he was not prepared in his heart. But it doesn't hurt to go to Tokyo, and without Gao Yu, there is no threat to Tokyo.

"Eun Xiang, I don't know when to leave?" Zheng Zhi asked.

"Leave tomorrow!" Now, Tong Guan really doesn't have time to procrastinate.
