Chapter 179: Gunpowder School
After occupying Fuli County and Zhuyi County, Yu Ban ordered Zhao Yun to lead 5,000 troops to stop in Zhuyi County, and led Cheng Lian to lead 5,000 troops to be stationed in Fuli County, and he personally led 20,000 troops to be stationed in Yongqiu City.
Since then, there has been no fighting in the whole of Pengcheng in this winter. Looking back on this year, Cao Cao conquered the north, won Shanyang County, and fought Cao Bao to win Peiguo. Now he has repelled Ji Ling, who went north, and expanded Pengcheng's territory by two more counties.
When Tao Ying returned to Taoling Town, it happened that the Gunpowder School had just invented rough gunpowder, which was far from modern gunpowder, and it was still far from being equipped with firearms.
But this is a good start after all, Tao Ying drew the simplest drawings of the production of foreign guns and cannons, and then passed them on to the mechanical school. However, it seems that all the teachers and students of the mechanical school are rushing to make steam engines, and when they talk about making foreign guns, they all begin to be at a loss, they don't understand too much.
Tao Ying wanted to teach them well, but he didn't seem to have enough time at all. After staying in the mechanical school for less than three days, as soon as he finished teaching some physics knowledge, Sun Shao came to report that the state pastor had sent someone to see Tao Ying. As soon as he heard that it was from the State Governor's Mansion, Tao Ying knew what he meant, so he rushed to Tao Mansion from the Mechanical School, and then rode towards Pengcheng.
rushed to Pengcheng, Pengcheng has been under martial law these days, and there are Golden Wing Army everywhere, and the Golden Wing Army is the remaining force guarding Pengcheng, and no one is allowed to transfer except in special circumstances. Seeing Tao Ying's arrival, the Golden Winged Army hurriedly opened the city gate.
After entering Pengcheng, Tao Ying rushed all the way to the mansion, and at this time Zhang Zhao had been entertaining envoys in the mansion for a long time. Entering the hall, the messenger sent by the pottery merchant was Jian Yong, Jian Yong first gave a salute to Tao Ying, and Tao Ying asked him to exempt him.
According to his official position, he is not as big as Jian Yongguan!
"Don't drive, why do you have time to come to my Pengcheng?"
After Tao Ying sat down, he raised his head and asked, after Jian Yong arrived in Xuzhou, he already knew that in the battle of Yongqiu, Tao Ying's army had killed Ji Ling's army. Because this good news has been posted on the walls of every city through the list, even the storytellers in the teahouse are telling the story of the Southern Expedition, and it is difficult to know.
"The second son defeated Ji Ling and saved Xuzhou, I was ordered to come and bring good news to the second son!"
After Jian Yong finished speaking, as soon as he heard the good news, Tao Ying was energetic. My eldest brother will stumble on himself every day, how can he give himself any benefit?
"What's so good?"
"The state pastor has a merit in guarding the land of the second son, and he deliberately promoted the second son to the prime minister of Peiguo!"
After Jian Yong finished speaking, he took out the seal ribbon from behind him, and looked at the seal ribbon, Tao Ying looked at Jian Yong again, and then at Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Congratulations to the lord on his promotion to the prime minister of Peiguo!" ”
After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Li Dian and others also hurriedly congratulated. Looking at everyone's reactions, Jian Yong couldn't help but smile. Tao Ying didn't know whether to take this seal or not, Peiguo was originally a territory of Xuzhou. The potter left Pei Guo to Lu Bu to station, and later let Cao Bao take Xiao Pei, and now Xiao Pei has returned to his hands, but he has Xiao Pei's name is not right.
Now that the potter canonizes himself, he is justified, and this seems to be the most important thing in this era. But Tao Ying knew that if he accepted it, it meant that he had admitted that he was under the jurisdiction of the pottery merchant, and what he had always wanted to get rid of was this subordination.
