Regarding the sudden appearance of the Mongolian army in the middle of summer and the rainy season, Ye Yingwu did not panic too much. After all, relying on the heavy rain, the use of bows and crossbows and the movement of cavalry of the Mongol army were greatly affected, as evidenced by the first battle of Macheng and the first battle of Huangzhou.

What's more, Ye Yingwu never believed it in his heart, this time Ah Shu was real.

Coming back from Banbi Mountain, Ye Yingwu didn't have time to transfer home, and went straight to Tongshan with people, and Ye Yingji, the county governor of Tongshan, sent a report that the production of firearms such as Zhentianlei was almost there, especially the firearms that Ye Yingwu paid more attention to, the process was quite mature, and it was not a problem to supplement the various departments of the Tianwu Army.

If you want to deal with the Mongol cavalry, the best way is naturally to have a cavalry as strong as it, but at least in the short term, this is impossible, and in the face of the Mongol cavalry's unique cavalry, the Song army's strong bow and crossbow can bring not many advantages. Now all Ye Yingwu can rely on is firearms.

Tribulus terrestris, earth-shaking thunder, and assault rifles, which correspond to the original firearms of future grenades, mines, and rifles, respectively, are indispensable for Ye Yingwu. This is also why Ye Yingwu had to set up a firearms battalion in Tongshan, where firearms craftsmen from Jiangnan West Road gathered; is also why Ye Yingwu put his brother who has some ability here.

Only the most loyal people will be able to keep this secret. And looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, there is no one like Ye Yingji who has both the ability to preside over the weapons prison and absolute loyalty.

With the two hundred cavalry of the Hundred Battles Capital plus fifty black-clad Six Gates and Jinyi Guards, this small cavalry team rushed all the way to Tongshan County in the wind and rain.

Ye Yingji had already received the order and set off early to go outside Tongshan City. At this time, it was the rainy season, and the gunpowder was extremely damp, and Ye Yingwu hurried over after receiving his own notice, and it was naturally impossible to have only one layer of meaning here. The urgency to see the results of firearms research and development is one thing, and the surprise inspection of gunpowder moisture protection on rainy days is the second thing.

This time it was a double win.

For his younger brother, Ye Yingji has always appeared as a trustworthy father and brother, after all, Ye Yingji was born by his mother in her later years, Ye Yingji sees him not so much as a brother, but like an uncle looking at a nephew.

What's more, Ye Yingwu was originally big up by Ye Yingji, and the brotherly relationship between the two was extraordinary.

Now that Ye Yingwu is out of the limelight, Ye Yingji is naturally happy for him from the bottom of his heart. Daddy's family business can be inherited by himself, and now he doesn't have to worry about the second brother's difficulty in starting a family.

A few months ago, Ye Yingwu invited him to come to serve as the magistrate of Tongshan County, and Ye Yingji was naturally obliged, although being his younger brother's subordinate did seem a little aggrieved to outsiders, but Ye Yingji was willing. Being able to share this heavy burden for his younger brother, Ye Yingji not only did not have a problem in his heart, but was very happy.

Ye Yingji's deep concern for his brother, Ye Yingwu is naturally very touched, not to mention that although his brother has not left any merits in history, he followed his father to retreat to the mountains and forests in his youth, and vowed not to descend to the yuan, this backbone is there.

Besides, even without these, wouldn't it be a blessing for an only child in a previous life to meet a brother who really treated him well seven hundred years ago.

The green hills near Tongshan County are faint, but in order to facilitate the transportation of various ores and equipment, the road leading to the camp on the mountain is very wide and flat, and it can be felt that it has been tamped many times, and the cavalry gallops over it, leaving a small mud mark at most.

The grass on both sides of the road is still clinging, and the dense forests stretch into the distance, no one would have thought that in the middle of this green mountain, there is the entire Tianwu Army and the largest firearms camp on the entire Jiangnan West Road. Ore transported from Daye County and even other state capitals on Jiangnan West Road was continuously transported in, and finally turned into a sharp weapon for killing.

At the end of the road ahead in the wind and rain, several figures stood solemnly.

Ye Yingwu dismounted from a distance and walked up quickly: "Brother, how can I let you wait in this wind and rain, isn't this torturing the little brother?" ”

The person under the hat was Ye Yingji, stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of his younger brother in front of him, although he was separated by a layer of rain, he could still feel that his younger brother had not seen him for the past two months, and he was much stronger, but he went to Luzhou alone with five hundred battles, and it was indeed a desperate risk. It's just that fortunately, in the end, he won a big victory.

Looking at the more mature younger brother with emotion, Ye Yingji continued: "What is the torment, brother, doesn't he want to look at you early?" Although Brother Wei is not a smart person, but the affairs inside and outside the camp can always be clear to you, now come out and wait for you for a while, is it difficult to dislike the obstruction? ”

Before the words could be spoken, the two brothers were already laughing.

The whole Tongshan firearms camp occupies a large area, if you see nothing from a distance in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, but when you really enter it, you will find that the large and small stoves are well hidden, and the finished products are piled up in several natural caves, arranged neatly.

And piles of neatly stacked various ores have been properly waterproofed, Ye Yingwu checked a few casually, and there was not even a little moisture in them. Regarding his brother's ability, Ye Yingwu was finally a lot more relieved this time.

Taking advantage of the heavy fog in the mountains during the rainy season, the entire firearms battalion is naturally busy, and there are not many people in the camp to tell the truth, so most of the people are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground. And Ye Yingwu also found that Ye Yinghe and several accompanying officials around him had an unconcealable look of exhaustion on their faces.

However, Ye Yingwu also knew that he could not relax at this time, after all, in addition to the strategy of the commander, the strength of both sides was the battle in the war. With his arrival, too much of the historical process has been changed, and when will the Xiangyang War come, Ye Yingwu has nothing in his heart, so it is not too early to start hoarding firearms from now on.

Ye Yingwu's time is precious, and Ye Yingji didn't plan to stay too long, and the group of people walked directly to the back mountain.

If most of the raw materials and ores and finished products are hoarded in the front mountain, then the back mountain is the soul of the entire firearms battalion, including the Tianwu army stationed here, and 1,500 of the 2,000 people are in the back mountain.

Furnaces of all kinds, pools of molten iron flowing, and barracks for craftsmen and soldiers stretched to the side of another mountain. And at the foot of the mountain, there are two open spaces that occupy a large area, one is naturally the school field of the Tianwu Army, and the firearms battalion stationed here are the elite of the Tianwu Army, and the training on weekdays can not be relaxed at all.

And the other open space is naturally the shooting range of the entire firearms camp.

At the beginning, Ye Yingwu's requirements for Ye Yingji were not too high, and he did not ask him to concentrate on craftsmen to develop more powerful firearms, after all, now the firearms that Song Jun can master can be called proud of the world, and the technology for producing these firearms is still a little immature.

Ye Yingwu just asked to be able to ensure that the firearm could be used normally on a rainy day as much as possible.

And it turns out that Ye Yingji is really doing well.

The cold mountain breeze blew in his face, accompanied by fine and dense raindrops, but none of the people who were guarding Ye Yingwu's side were motionless. Ye Yingji made a gesture of please, the two of them should go to the grass shed to shelter from the wind and rain, the rain was removed, Ye Yingwu was dressed in black, Ye Yingji was dressed in white, and the two brothers really complemented each other. And the back of the hundred battles was naturally light armor, and even the rain was not draped, and the six doors and the elite of the brocade guard carried by Yang Xu were in the same black clothes as Ye Yingwu, revealing a murderous aura in the wind and rain.

and Ye Yingwu looked at each other and smiled, Ye Yingji shouted: "Let's start!" ”

Immediately after the firelight, the sound of "bang" continued, and the people in the grass shed also subconsciously looked, only to see that a few straw men in the shooting range could no longer see the original appearance, staggering, and I didn't know how many iron beads had been embedded in the body.

This is a assault gun.

The gunfire continued, and the ten Tianwu soldiers were naked, and the fire fold in their hands ignited the fire tribulus terrestris, and rushed straight into the wind and rain, and after a loud roar, the ten fire thistles came out of their hands and crossed a beautiful arc in the air. Looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, only the Tianwu Army was trained to throw this kind of round grenade, and the soldiers in other places generally did not have this courage.

I am afraid that this is also why the grenade gradually disappeared in the land of China, and it was not until many, many years later that the Westerners used the grenade to blow open the door again.

Explosions came and went, and firewater thistles exploded around the straw man, and pieces of iron flew sideways. It has been proved that the fire thistle specially created by the skilled craftsmen of the Tongshan Firearms Battalion has a better effect than the previous Tianwu army, and the corners of Ye Yingwu's mouth finally smiled.

The last earth-shattering thunder is naturally also effective, this most primitive touch mine was originally developed on a whim by the Song army defending the city, and after improvement, the effect is naturally better.

The three main firearms have been accepted, Ye Yingwu patted Ye Yingji's shoulder, I am afraid that this is the only thing he can do, who made himself a real liberal arts student, and he didn't even have to climb the science and technology tree?

But at this moment, there was a flash of light in his mind, and Ye Yingwu's eyes also lit up. How did you forget about this big guy? You must know that this guy is easier than any earth-shattering thunder or thistle terrestris to make!

――――――――――――――――――――

This time, Ye Yingwu came to Tongshan to say that he had gained a lot, and the firearms of the Tianwu Army could be regarded as having a great guarantee, and the firearms such as the assault rifles were continuously transported to the places where the Tianwu Army was stationed even in the heavy rain.

Since he came, Ye Yingji naturally couldn't let his younger brother leave like this, and the group came down from the mountain and went directly to Tongshan County. From the last time Ye Yingwu came, Tongshan County has undergone earth-shaking changes, the dark clouds that have been gloomy and pressing on everyone's heads have dissipated, and laughter can still be heard in the market in the wind and rain.

But after all, it was raining, and there were very few people on the streets, and no one noticed that this cavalry swept by like a whirlwind was a little abnormal, and no one noticed that their benefactor Ye Yuanjun was speeding by.

Not long after, Ye Yingwu held a cup of hot tea and sat opposite Ye Yingji. Only two brothers sat opposite each other in the house, including Yang Xu, Jiang Tie and other Ye Yingwu's henchmen and guards were waiting outside the door. Looking around, the bookshelves occupy three sides, and his brother's temperament Ye Yingwu also knows it, and when he saw Fang today, he knew that his brother was afraid that he loved reading.

"Yuanlie, I heard that there is another army in Huangzhou in the north?" Ye Yingji took a sip of tea and said softly, "You're still in the mood to come here, you're very calm." ”

Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "The thunder is heavy and the rain is small, I really don't believe that Ah Shu has the ability to come here in this ghost weather." After all, the most important thing for him is Xiangyang, even if Huangzhou is really lost, what can he do, as long as he occupies Tianjia Town in Jiangbei and half of the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, this big river is still in his hands, and Xiangyang can still easily support. ”

"No wonder you're fearless." Ye Yingji nodded, "Now that Xing** has been changed to Xingzhou, plus the people who have migrated from Huangzhou and other places, the three counties of Xingzhou are prosperous, but what are you going to do next?" These three counties will definitely not be enough for you to show your skills. ”

I am afraid that this kind of words can only be said by Ye Yinghe, who is a brother, Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly: "The land of the three counties is now a headache, where can I dare to have more demands?" Now for this Xiangyang, it can be regarded as worrying. ”

"Really?" Ye Yingji's tone changed slightly, and he already had a slight smile.

Ye Yingwu's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and the civil and military officials of the Tianwu Army knew that this was the consistent action of making Jun think, and Ye Yingji just looked at Ye Yingwu quietly, and the heat of the tea rose, covering his face.

"Maybe it's true now." Sighing softly, Ye Yingwu finally said it. There is no need to hide his ambition in front of Ye Yingji, but he can't guess what his brother is thinking.

Ye Yingji looked at him deeply: "Let's take a look." ”

In this big event in the world, Ye Yingwu is moving forward step by step, and these people are watching while following. It's just that Ye Yingji knows very well in his heart that he is already a person on this road, and even if he can see it, he can't retreat.

But haven't you ever regretted it? Looking at the world, the only one who can redeem this upcoming tilt of heaven is the young brother opposite him.

The two of them fell into silence again, but Ye Yingji leaned in slightly, ready to speak again. Ye Yingwu showed a wry smile on his face, everything that should be said about business has been said, and the rest is only private matters. The biggest family matter of the entire Ye family, the two of them are very clear.

"Yuanlie, you are not young anymore, and you have already established a business, it's time to find a family." Ye Yingji hesitated for a moment and then said, "Being in such a position, there is only one concubine in the family, so I can't say it reasonably, my mother has been looking forward to it for a long time, and I also need a hope for the soldiers to work hard." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded slowly, Ye Yingji was not to let him marry a wife, but to let him hurry up and give birth to offspring, so that the Ye family could be regarded as having hope of continuing the incense. Indeed, as Ye Yingji said, it can't be delayed any longer.

What's more, when his brother said this at this time, he thought that it was also sent by the old father and mother in the family to send a message and order. Qiqin is filial to her family internally, and she helps Ye Yingwu to deploy Jinyiwei externally, she is really a reliable concubine, but the two get together less and leave more, and the days when they can stay together are not long, and it is naturally understandable that there is no movement in the stomach, not to mention that even if she gives birth to a child, it is also a concubine, and it has no effect.

The eldest son of the Ye family still needs a wife to be born.

But where is the wife? Ye Yingwu knew that it was Lu Xiufu's sister Lu Wanyan who was in his family's favor, and he and Miss Wanyan were also in love, and the two were reluctant to part. It's just that now that the battle of Xiangyang has reached the point where is the kung fu to go to Zhenjiang to marry?

With a helpless sigh, Ye Yingwu looked at the brother opposite.

Ye Yingji just smiled.

Outside the open window, there was the sound of wind and rain.
