"Since the Metropolitan Governor has something to say clearly, I won't ask anymore, I can only ask the Metropolitan Governor to rest assured, I, Yan Yingyuan, will definitely bring the artillery well, and I will never let the Metropolitan Governor down."

Yan Yingyuan saw that Luo Jian refused to say it clearly, and he was helpless, so he had to express his determination.

"By the way, how are they doing, aunt? I haven't gone back to Yangzhou to visit them yet, so will you go back with me to see them today? Luo Jian thought of Yan Yingyuan's seriously ill mother.

"Governor Xie Dadu is worried, it's much better now, Miss Liu used the magic medicine you brought back, and now she can get up, and the dogs have also entered the school, they are all very good, I took the time to go back to see it a few days ago, I won't go back with the Governor today, the training here can't be relaxed."

"Okay, but you have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest in training, and you can't train all the soldiers."

"Don't worry, these boys are all down-to-earth, and now the Yangzhou army is eating well, and it will be fine."

After saying a few words, Luo Jian and Xiao Liu got up and went back.

On the way, Luo Jian still explained a lot to Xiao Liu, and asked him to pay attention to the development of the Nimi gun immediately, and he had a hunch that there were not many weapons and ammunition to bring back.

Luo Jian did not go back to Yangzhou directly, but went to Liu Zhaoji's military camp.

"Xinghua, you came back first? This battle was really good, Zuo Mengeng was captured alive in the first battle, and the left army no longer exists. ”

Liu Zhaoji greeted him and said happily to Luo Jian.

"Let's go, Brother Liu, let's go inside and talk." Luo Jian walked directly into Liu Zhaoji's room.

Now the 1st Division has lived in brick houses, although it is still very simple, but the soldiers finally no longer live in tents, and the hot summer is much better.

Luo Jian, the other divisions, was not prepared to let them stay in Yangzhou for a long time, so the plan only considered building a division's barracks, so that they could temporarily live in tents and temporary wooden tents, which was indeed very difficult in the hot summer.

"Brother Liu, although the battle has been won, I don't want to have such a victory in the future." Luo Jian sat down and said to Liu Zhaoji.

"Xinghua, what's wrong? Still not happy about winning the battle? Liu Zhaoji looked at Luo Jian suspiciously.

"The casualties are too great, our Yangzhou army can't afford it, without the full support of the imperial court, the Yangzhou army will fight a few battles like this, and our main strength will be exhausted, which is not good."

Listening to Luo Jian's words, Liu Zhaoji also fell into thought.

"Xinghua, we are mainly defensive in the autumn operation, we have to plan early, as deep as possible to the ditch and wall, so as to reduce casualties."

"The autumn operation is mainly to keep food, this is not a point target like defending a city before, but a target in the entire Yangzhou region, just defending is not enough, we have to take the initiative to attack!"

Luo Jian had already thought about this problem, and told Liu Zhaoji his thoughts, and Liu Zhaoji also reacted.

"Let's do it, when the troops are withdrawn, let's have another meeting to discuss how to fight the next battle."

"Brother Liu, you have to be mentally prepared, I don't think there will be a lot of machine gun bullets and grenades." Luo Jian gave Liu Zhaoji a preventive shot, asking him not to rely on these equipment all the time.

"Huh? Xinghua, didn't you say there were many more last time? Liu Zhaoji remembered what Luo Jian had said before.

"I don't know what happened, anyway, I have this premonition now, I'll check it when I go back, you let people call Wang Qiang to go back with me."

As soon as Luo Jian and Wang Qiang arrived at the East Gate, they felt the joy of the people of Yangzhou, and the great victory of the Yangzhou army was rumored everywhere.

Back at the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Liu Lan didn't know what she was busy with, and she was not in the mansion, and the garage that Luo Jian asked to build before leaving had been repaired.

Luo Jian and Wang Qiang asked the guards to guard outside the garage, and the two got into the warrior car.

The temperature in the garage was too high, and both Radro Jian and Wang Qiang were stripped bare.

Wang Qiang got into the car and began to move the bullet boxes out one by one, Luo Jian continued outside, only three boxes were moved, Wang Qiang stuck out his head and said, "Chief, it's gone." ”

Only five boxes of grenades were moved out, and when he heard Wang Qiang say "gone", Luo Jian's heart suddenly sank.

"Xiao Wang, how many grenades have been issued before?"

"Only my special brigade has five per person, and your guards have issued three per person this time, and there are no others."

"Xiao Wang, how many bullets are there for the on-board machine gun?"

The machine gun had already been unloaded and packed, and Xiao Wang took out the cartridge box of the machine gun from the back of the car and began to take the bullets out from the inside.

"Chief, there are only more than 3,000 rounds." Wang Qiang's voice was also full of disappointment, the rate of fire of this machine gun was extremely fast, if he let go of the fire, the three thousand rounds of ammunition would be finished in less than five minutes.

"You find someone to find a room for the rest of them to store, and you can't move them lightly anymore."

Luo Jian no longer had the desire to inspect other items, Wang Qiang was still persistently rummaging in the car, and even let him turn out more than a dozen cigarettes, looking at the dozen cigarettes, Luo Jian couldn't cry or laugh.

Holding a few cigarettes, he told Wang Qiang to find someone to send the remaining cigarettes to Xiao Liu, put his shirt on his shoulders and wore a vest and returned to his small courtyard.

Steward Luo and several servants watched in surprise as the shirtless Luo Jian walked into the small courtyard, and was about to step forward to salute, Luo Jian waved his hand, went directly into the hall, sat down on the chair, tore open a cigarette, opened a pack, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

I touched my trouser pocket, but the lighter I usually put in it was not there, and then I remembered that I hadn't smoked in a long time.

After thinking about it, he put the cigarette in his mouth and went upstairs to the study, first went to turn on the generator, and then came back and turned on the computer.

Looking at the appearance of the desk, Liu Lan is also using the computer every day at home, and the desk is neatly maintained.

The computer had just been turned on, and a text displayed on the screen attracted Luo Jian, and after a closer look, Luo Jian suddenly regretted it to death, regretting that he didn't take out all the ammunition at the beginning.

This text is sent by the intelligent system, only a short paragraph, which means that when the system detected that Luo Jian and several people were under mortal threat outside Liuhe City, they forcibly used energy remotely to move the warrior car, and the already small amount of energy was almost consumed, causing a big problem in the space for storing items, and the weapons and ammunition that were originally transmitted were gone.

Luo Jian looked at this text blankly, took out the lighter from the drawer, and was about to point it, when Liu Lan's soft voice came from behind him.

"Brother Luo, this is really depressing news." Liu Lan took off the cigarette in Luo Jian's mouth.

"However, Brother Luo, when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what intelligent system helped him, he actually laid down the country empty-handed, and drove the Mongols out of China. Brother Luo, do you know? ”

Liu Lan's voice was still soft, but in Luo Jian's ears, it was like a spring thunder, and after staying for a long time, he suddenly turned around and hugged Liu Lan into his arms, kissed her on the face, and said in his mouth, "Liu Lan, thank you!" ”

Liu Lan gently pushed Luo Jian away, and said with a red face: "There are people outside, they are covered in stinky sweat, if you want to hug me, you have to go and take a bath first." ”

"What have you been busy with all these days?" Luo Jian asked Liu Lan to sit down on the chair opposite and speak.

"Do my job." Liu Lan said proudly.

"The old business? Photograph? Luo Jian asked suspiciously.

"What kind of photography? Do you have a place to print it out after taking a photo? I'm going to start a newspaper! I've chosen the president of this newspaper. ”

"yes, how did I forget this, who did you choose?" Luo Jian asked curiously.

"Gu Dashen, I talked to him for a long time, and I also found some books for him to read, and found that he didn't have much loyalty to the Ming Dynasty court, he was concerned about the rise and fall of the entire nation, and it was not easy to find such a person."

"Oh, so Gu Yanwu is a fanatical nationalist?" Luo Jian then thought that he had been busy fighting for more than half a month, and he forgot about him.

"It's not that fanatical, his thinking is very complicated, and it doesn't seem to be fully formed now, and these days I've read some philosophy books, and my thinking has changed a lot."

"Are you having trouble printing and typesetting?" Luo Jian began to pay attention to details.

"It's not a big problem, I didn't expect that the current printing technology is quite advanced, but there are still some problems with the quality of the paper, it is estimated that there will be a week, it can be published, and it is currently ready to run a semi-monthly magazine."

"Okay, I'll write you a press release then." Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Brother Luo, I found that Hou Fangyu's kid is really not good." Liu Lan said with a frown.

"Why? What's the matter? "Luo Jian is a little strange.

"Since Li Xiangjun came to Yangzhou, this kid only cares about Qingqing and me all day long, and he doesn't want to do anything, and he can't be shouted by others."

"Oh, there's a chance I'll talk about him."

"By the way, Brother Luo, the last time you went to Nanjing Guozijian to fool around, it still had an effect, dozens of Guozijian students came a few days ago, and Brother Shi arranged for them to be officials."

"You little girl, what do you call fooling? However, the territory recovered this time is not small, and there are many officials needed, so it is estimated that the superintendent has a headache. ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Luo Jian just mentioned Shi Kefa, and Steward Luo came up to report that the supervisor had arrived.

The weather was too hot, and Luo Jian didn't bother to get dressed at home, so he went downstairs wearing only a vest.

"Xinghua, what kind of dress are you? You are a dignified governor, but you have to pay attention to your own image. Shi Kefa said to Luo Jian with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Xian, it's too hot this day, I can't stand it, don't mind."

"Xinghua, you fought this battle well, the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou are full of confidence now." Shi Kefa sat down on the chair, picked up the fan on the table, and fanned it suddenly.

"Please all go out, I have something to tell the Grand Governor." Shi Kefa glanced up at Steward Luo and a few servants waiting.

"Xinghua, you have seized too much this time, according to statistics, there are 1.2 million taels of gold, silver and jewelry alone, and this grain and grass is enough for the Yangzhou army to eat for a while."

"Hehe, Brother Xian, this is a good thing, it is precisely because of these that I let Weng Zhiqi recruit troops in Anqing, and I also asked the Fourth Division to send a regiment to recruit troops along the way."

"Yes, Yangzhou has to defend such a large territory, and now it only relies on 50,000 horses, which is a bit tight."

"In addition to the use of these silver taels in the army, the others have to be tilted towards Xiao Liu's side, Brother Xian, although I won the battle this time, this casualty still scared me."

"Xinghua, you are really, what about the generals who still lead the troops, how can there be immortals in the war?"

"Brother Xian, I didn't mean that, you look at our current situation, I'm afraid that the imperial court has become wary of us, we can only develop on our own, but our base is still too small, you calculate, how many times can our 50,000 horses withstand such losses?"

Seeing that Shi Kefa was thoughtful, Luo Jian continued:

"Yes, there is no shortage of soldiers at present, but where can these experienced veterans be found? How long will it take for this recruit to become an elite soldier? These are all things we should consider. ”
