"Except for pistols. And what weapons? Li Zhen immediately asked.

Dai Yuanhua said unhurriedly: "In addition, there are half-finished machine guns. Most of my energy was on the machine gun that the adults gave me, because the bullets were fired continuously, and the requirements for the machine gun itself were very high. With the current technology, the chamber of the gun is not yet able to withstand it, so it cannot meet the requirements for the time being. Please rest assured, I will definitely solve the problem as soon as possible. ”

Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "This is the truth, we will discuss it in private later." The manufacture of the chamber of a machine gun requires not only iron, but also other elements to ensure the stability of the chamber. ”

Dai Yuanhua was confused, so he had to nod yes.

Wei Yuan interjected: "Hongyi, Yi 60 signed a traitorous treaty, lost power and betrayed the country, after this matter was reported by Kyushu Daily, the crowd was excited, and the people wanted to defeat Yi 60 and regain the territory of my Qing Dynasty." What are you going to do about this? ”

Li Zhen asked rhetorically: "Old Wei, do you know about Guangxi?" ”

Wei Yuan said: "Guangxi Governor Xi Yinglong rebelled and intended to stand on his own, and everyone knows this. ”

Li Zhen said lightly: "If you don't exterminate Xi Yinglong, can you fight with Yi 60 with all your might?" ”

When Wei Yuan heard this, he immediately understood Li Zhen's intentions. He thought about it carefully before nodding and saying, "What you said makes sense, the old man cheered you up, and then made Xi Yinglong a person who oppressed the virtuous and persecuted the people." Once the wind of public opinion is tilted in your favor, Xi Yinglong will definitely be defeated. ”

"Thank you Elder Wei!"

Li Zhen didn't expect Wei Yuan to be so accommodating, and he was extremely grateful.

Wei Yuan was decisive and immediately said: "The old man immediately went to prepare and took his leave!" He left in a hurry, preparing to return to Kyushu Daily to write articles, and at the same time carry out an all-round attack on Xi Yinglong.

Fan Kai went on to say: "The bank failed to enter Guangxi, but the businessmen in the bank have connections with the businessmen in Guangxi. He also went back to contact the businessmen and asked the businessmen in Guangxi to curb Xi Yinglong. ”

Li Zhen praised: "This is a very effective and good method, if it is successful, it will be much easier to take down Xi Yinglong." ”

Fan Kai left, and Bo Jia did not stay, leaving only Li Zhen and Dai Yuanhua.

Li Zhen said solemnly: "Yuanhua, the machine gun is an important weapon of mass destruction, and it is also an excellent weapon to improve combat effectiveness. You're going to focus on machine guns right now. The pistols are all made, and the machine guns are certainly not far off. I immediately armed myself with pistols to increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. With the gun in hand, the attack at close range will be more effective, and you have done a great job! ”

Dai Yuanhua said: "The handsome man has won the award, I just did what I did." ”

Li Zhen also said the things that need to be paid attention to in the manufacture of firearms, and also said some of the knowledge he knew about the gun chamber, and asked Dai Yuanhua to organize the personnel to find the ore needed to stabilize the gun chamber, and then refine and forge. After Li Zhen finished the matter, he asked Dai Yuanhua to leave and returned to the Admiral's Mansion.

Looking at his family and the children who were bouncing around, Li Zhen wanted to stay longer. It's just that Xi Yinglong rebelled, and the longer the time dragged on, the more difficult it was to control the gaffe, and Li Zhen had to send troops.

On the eighth day of February, Li Zhen left Guangzhou with three regiments of soldiers.

The soldiers of these three regiments were Smith, Yang Banhou, and Zhou Xiuying, while Qi Zhenhai led a regiment of soldiers under his command to guard Guangzhou and prevent Guangzhou from being attacked. After the army left Guangzhou, it hurried all the way and rushed in the direction of Guangxi.

Leaving the border of Guangdong, he entered Guangxi from Wuzhou Prefecture.

Wuzhou Mansion is located in Cangwu County, and Zhennanguan is in the territory of Wuzhou Mansion, and even serves as a barrier in the east of Guangxi. As early as the Han Dynasty, Zhennanguan has set up checkpoints, initially named "Yongji Pass", and later renamed "Jieshou Pass" and "Da Nan Pass". In the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368), Zhu Yuanzhang rebuilt the checkpoint into a two-story gatehouse in order to consolidate southern Xinjiang, and then renamed Zhennanguan.

At the same time, several overhead control passes were built on the steep wall of Jinji Mountain in Zhennan Pass.

Such a majestic pass is now in front of Li Zhen's eyes. After the army approached Zhennan Pass, Li Zhen did not rush to attack Zhennan Pass, because this level was really difficult to fight.

……

The person in charge of guarding Zhennanguan is named Xi Changzhen, who is Xi Yinglong's cousin, the chief soldier of Zhennanguan, and is fully responsible for the defense of Zhennanguan. Just this one level, Xi Changzhen used 6,000 elite soldiers.

Upstairs, in the hall!

Xi Changzhen was reading, his eyes were very small, and when he was staring at the book, his small eyeballs kept turning, making it difficult to give people a focused look, as if it was wandering into the world.

It's just that from time to time, he shakes his head and recites.

It's hard to adapt.

Xi Changzhen is forty years away, with three strands of long hair, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and a green robe, plus there is a faint flush on his face, as if Guan Gong is alive. Xi Changzhen's left hand is flat on his knee, and he is reading a book in his right hand, full of Guan Gong style. It's just in vain, and it doesn't have the temperament of a half-off public.

At this moment, a middle-aged scribe walked in.

"Lao Chen, do you think I look like Guan Gong?" Xi Changzhen asked expectantly.

The middle-aged scribe's name was Chen Zhengshi, who was Xi Changzhen's staff, and he clasped his fists and flashed: "The chief soldier is very similar to Guan Erye, definitely very similar." After a pause, Chen Zhengshi said again: "Li Zhen is here with a large army, please get ready." ”

"Oh, Li Zhen is finally here."

Xi Changzhen was not afraid, put down the book in his hand, and said loudly: "When Li Zhen arrives at Zhennan Pass, he will definitely not be able to move forward an inch. If he dares to attack Zhennan Pass, I will kill him. ”

Chen Zhengshi said: "My lord, Li Zhen is not a simple character, and he can't be taken lightly!" ”

Xi Changzhen said: "Ben will naturally understand, you can rest assured." ”

Chen Zhengshi said again: "Li Zhen is here, the adults should check the garrisons everywhere again, and order the soldiers to guard the place to avoid loopholes." ”

"Ben will know!"

Xi Changzhen said with a straight face and very unhappy.

Chen Zhengshi didn't seem to see it, and continued: "Guan Gong has always listened to advice, you take Guan Gong as an example everywhere, but now you keep advising, it's in vain!" ”

"What did you say?" Xi Changzhen was very unhappy like a cat's tail was stepped on.

Chen Zhengshi stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Saying that the adult has nothing to show for it!" ”

"Hmph, you won!"

Xi Changzhen saw that Chen Zhengshi insisted, like a frosted eggplant, with a grinning face, and said with a smile: "Old Chen, we have been brothers for many years, can't you save a little face?" Your words were so loud that when the soldiers standing guard outside heard them, my face must have been thrown to my grandmother's house. ”

"My lord, we hear you."

As soon as Xi Changzhen's words were finished, there was a loud shout.

Chen Zhengshi knew Xi Changzhen's temper and said, "My lord, it's urgent, you keep saying that you want to behead Li Zhen." But this Li Zhen is not a simple character, you should check it carefully. ”

Xi Changzhen sighed: "Okay, good, listen to you!" I have worked so hard, why is my life so miserable? It's all Xi Yinglong's bastard, otherwise I'd still be very leisurely. ”

The corners of Chen Zhengshi's mouth twitched, only Xi Changzhen in Guangxi could say this.

If it were someone else, he would have been killed by Xi Yinglong.
