After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Luo Zhuo was also excited, and immediately knelt down and said loudly: "As long as the adult has a life, Luo is willing to be the adult's pawn, even if he is broken, he will never give up!" ”

"Get up, get up! There is no need to be like this, for the generals dare to regard death as home, it is also a blessing for our dynasty to have a fierce general like you, Gao believes in the character of Lord Luo, and will never retreat from the battle! Otherwise, to put it mildly, I, Gao, may not dare to leave this army in your hands! I believe you! Gao Huaiyuan picked up Luo Zhuo and said to him sincerely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Luo Zhuo was even more grateful after hearing it, he had actually seen it earlier, the generals have basically changed over the years, those mediocre talents who have done nothing have been relegated to their homes by Gao Huaiyuan in recent years, and the generals who have been replaced are all young generals, only him, but the Privy Council has never touched him, and the trust in this is needless to say, so Luo Zhuo is under pressure at the same time, but also very pleased, he has always hated those incompetent people to control the army, so that good soldiers and horses are like tofu scum, As soon as he touched it, he dispersed, and now he believes that sooner or later, he will have the opportunity to follow Gao Huaiyuan into battle, and he will be able to restore the old land of the Central Plains in the north. . .

After Gao Huaiyuan pulled Luo Zhuo to sit down, he talked a lot about troop control and tactics, and he soon found that Luo Zhuo had indeed put a lot of effort into this, and he answered questions about the arrangement of troops like fluent, and also summed up a lot of experience, which made Luo Zhuo feel more at ease.

By the way, Gao Huaiyuan also gave Luo Zhuo some minutes about the use of troops in Sichuan in the past few years, and asked Luo Zhuo to study, by the way to find out the shortcomings, now Gao Huaiyuan has formed such a habit, the army has a special scribe, the process of each battle is recorded in detail, and then handed over to the officers of the staff headquarters to study and judge these examples, summarize the gains and losses in detail, and finally compile them into minutes, and send them to the generals of the army to refer to together. This method has a very good role in promoting the overall improvement of the command ability of the generals of the Song Army, so that these generals who have not had the opportunity to participate in too many wars can also learn more experience from these wars and avoid many detours.

Luo Zhuo respectfully accepted the pile of minutes handed to him by Gao Huaiyuan, and promised again and again that he would definitely read it well, Gao Huaiyuan nodded and said that he was not polite.

"Lord Gao, I heard that many armies are now equipped with that kind of Shenwei cannon, and the lowly Zhenjiang Army also wants to equip such firearms as soon as possible, the last time I saw the power of this Shenwei cannon in Beijing, I was envious, I don't know if I can equip the lowly with a batch of such things as soon as possible?" After the two chatted for a long time, Luo Zhuo was also a lot less restrained in front of Gao Huaiyuan, and after hesitating a few times, he still put forward his request to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Oh? Hehe! Yes! General Luo, don't worry, now the Shenwei cannon has just come out, although some ordnance divisions have established workshops, but this kind of cannon technology is complicated, it is not easy to make, and the quantity is far from reaching the number of each army can be equipped with this thing in large quantities, so at present, the newly made Shenwei cannon is distributed to Jingdong and Qinfeng Road and other places, and even the palace division has not been able to equip a large number of them, and the only batch has been transferred to Sichuan by me!

But don't worry, this time the official is going to Jingdong to inspect, there is also a cannon workshop, the output will be relatively more, when the official comes back, he will bring you a few back, but at the moment, you must not pin the victory or defeat of the war on this kind of divine cannon, no matter how good the weapon is, it depends on how the user uses them! What really determines the outcome of the battlefield is not this kind of Shenwei cannon, but the will to fight of officers and soldiers, even if all the Shenwei cannons are equipped to a soldier and horse without fighting spirit, then the outcome of the war can be predicted! Please remember these words of this officer! Gao Huaiyuan reminded him while agreeing to Luo Zhuo's request. After Luo Zhuo heard this, he was ecstatic and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Prime Minister Gao!" Remember the teachings of the adults! You must train an army that dares to fight! ”

Gao Huaiyuan did not stop in Zhenjiang for long, and immediately set off to cross the river, entered Huainan East Road and went straight to Xuzhou.

And the defender of Xuzhou is still Zhou Jun of the Flying Tiger Army, although now the Flying Tiger Army has been reorganized into the left and right armies of the Jingdong garrison army, but under the instruction of Gao Huaiyuan, the Flying Tiger Army basically still maintains its original establishment, and has not completely disrupted their establishment, Zhou Jun is now leading the left army of the Flying Tiger Army, and Fu Daquan is leading the right army of the Flying Tiger Army, they recruit their own generals, and their own training is basically not subject to any restrictions, ensuring their independence...

And Zhou Jun's left army has now expanded to the scale of 15,000 people, most of the recruited generals are young and strong in the East China Sea, and they are also the children of the people of Tuntian originally recruited by the Flying Tiger Army. Moreover, the Flying Tiger Army has its own equipment system, in addition to the armor allocated by the imperial court, they can also directly obtain more elite armor through Laiwu Tiezuo, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Jun and Fu Daquan's Flying Tiger Army can be ten with one...

In the past few years, Zhou Jun has not been idle in addition to training, gradually encroaching on the territory of the Jin State west of Xuzhou, and he does not take large-scale military actions, often just in the name of suppressing bandits, occupying a little territory, although the Jin State has protested many times, but because he is unable to wage war against the Song, so the protest is a protest, and he can only watch the Song army eat away a lot of their territory little by little in the past few years, and through the past few years, The Xuzhou army has basically controlled Xiangxian (now Huaibei City), Fengxian and Peixian to the north of Xuzhou, making Xuzhou impregnable and no longer worried that it will be occupied by the Jin army.

Every time Zhou Jun occupies a territory, he builds an earthen fort, and a small number of officers and soldiers are stationed in it, as a base for their future advance, and once the outermost earthen fort is attacked, they can immediately transmit the news to Xuzhou through the beacon tower, and the army can soon set off to meet the enemy, and these earthen forts support each other, once the enemy wants to attack Xuzhou, if they don't pull out these earthen forts, they don't need to enter Xuzhou City at all, otherwise, even if they attack Xuzhou City, they have to worry about the back road being cut off by the Song army of these earthen forts, It is even more impossible to ensure the safety of the grain road...

After Gao Huaiyuan arrived in Xuzhou, he had a detailed understanding of the situation in Xuzhou, and he naturally had nothing to say about such a capable person as Zhou Jun, so he went directly to the Song Dynasty to inspect the field set up forty miles west of Xuzhou City.

The trade in the field is not bad, the Jin people will send some gold and silver things or copper coins of the cart to the field every day, as well as all kinds of copper, iron, horn glue and other things that they can collect, and after exchanging them for the grain and armor of the Song people, they will be transported back to the Jin country. . .

Although the price set by the Song Dynasty is a bit high, and the quality of some armor is really a bit unreasonable, but these things are not bought by the Song people, and there is really no place to buy them, so it is easy to do a unique business, so they can't be happy or not.

And these money and goods exchanged for the transfer back to Lin'an, the money and property to the household treasury by the household department responsible for the deployment, copper, iron, horns, glue and other things, all allocated to the military department ordnance supervision, used to create a variety of sophisticated weapons for the army, the business of coming and going is full of prosperity.

But Gao Huaiyuan knew that under the elimination of one and the other, the Jin Kingdom would only become more and more empty, and sooner or later it would collapse one day, and it would be time for them to take over the Central Plains.

The Flying Tiger Army is the army that is not short of artillery, as early as when Gao Huaiyuan was still in Daye County, he began to use the copper and iron produced by the copper and iron ore under his name to cast artillery, and the Flying Tiger Army has obtained more resources since the occupation of Laiwu, Gao Huaiyuan has gradually transferred the production of artillery to Jingdong, after these years, his private industry has secretly cast no less than 1,000 artillery, most of these artillery pieces are reserved, not yet equipped to the military, Since Gao Huaiyuan agreed to open the artillery weapon, the Flying Tiger Army has taken the lead in equipping a large number of them, so Zhou Jun is rich and wealthy, and he actually equipped the artillery into the earthen fort, no wonder Luo Zhuo felt red, this person is really angry than people.

In the east of Xuzhou, Zhou Jun has a separate place, specializing in the purchase of sulfur saltpeter and other things, here a large number of boiling and purifying gunpowder, and then a large number of gunpowder, part of which is reserved for personal use, and part of it is handed over to Zhao Futang to equip the Jingdong Army, such a gunpowder workshop in addition to Xuzhou, such as Haizhou, Jinan, Tai'an and other important places, there are also such workshops, the output is considerable, and a special warehouse is also set up in Jinan Prefecture, a large number of reserves of these gunpowder, can be supplied to the surrounding military at any time.

As soon as Zhou Jun saw Gao Huaiyuan, he hurriedly asked when he would start attacking the Jin Kingdom, Gao Huaiyuan smiled and said: "It depends on whether the Jin Kingdom is fighting or not, if they can't hold the Yellow River, then it will be the time for us to march into the Central Plains, and if they can get the money or not, when they don't even have a little money, even if we don't fight them, they won't be able to mix it up!" Hehe! Hold your horses! There's a battle for you then! ”

Zhou Jun was relieved, knowing that Gao Huaiyuan was not compromising with the Jin Kingdom, but was still waiting for the Jin Kingdom to exhaust the last drop of blood!

Along the way, Gao Huaiyuan traveled almost everywhere in Jingdong, and it took nearly four months to inspect the land of Jingdong, and this time his trip to Jingdong went as far as Shenzhou before stopping.
