Pan Batian, who was guarding in front of the General Soldier's Mansion of Ning Yuanwei, had just taken a roll call, and all the soldiers who went out to buy things had returned, and everyone was carrying various things in their hands.

The conditions of Tuanshan Fort are difficult, and there are no shops or the like at present, so the guards who escorted Lord Zhang to the Ningyuan Acropolis this time have all been selected.

Those who have made a lot of achievements in the war originally showed that they were elite soldiers, so escorting Lord Zhang was also the proper meaning.

By the way, letting these soldiers buy something back is a small reward.

Or is it that Master Zhang thinks well and kills two birds with one stone!

Pan Batian was pondering, and suddenly saw Zhang Li's calm face, and walked out of the General Soldier's Mansion angrily.

Pan Batian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked up to meet him: "My lord, what's wrong? ‘

Zhang Zhang spat a mouthful of saliva, and said to Pan Batian with a blue face: "Old Pan, go back to Tuanshan Fort immediately!" This hellish place, Lao Tzu doesn't want to stay for a moment! ‘

Pan Batian gasped, didn't dare to ask more, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Master Zhang has an order, return to Tuanshan Fort immediately!" ‘

……

Along the way, Lord Zhang kept a straight face, and even Pan Batian didn't dare to ask more, and the soldiers naturally didn't know what to do.

Everyone's nerves tensed up at once, and the fifty members of the self-made firecracker team dragged the gunpowder pouch and projectile pouch in their hands one by one, and with just an order, they could complete the loading work before shooting in the blink of an eye.

The infantry members also held on to their swords and trotted to keep up with Master Zhang's horses.

When Zhang Zhang returned to Tuanshan Fort, it was already dark.

As soon as he entered the regimental mountain fort, Zhang Zhang immediately ordered all the people above the general army to hold a meeting.

In the Military Chamber of Commerce. Gao Yuanliang and others have already listened to Zhang Zhang talk about the whole story.

Pan Batian and Xiao Ran were furious, and the two immediately scolded.

However, Gao Yuanliang and Izawa were silent. The two men looked at each other and then lowered their heads.

Zhang Li sat on the main seat at this moment. I was angry and began to calm down.

Gao Yuanliang and Izawa's expressions naturally couldn't escape Zhang Li's eyes, and Zhang Li nodded lightly: "Yuanliang, tell me what you think." ‘

'Uh-' Gao Yuanliang answered, he didn't want to speak, but he couldn't help it, after thinking for a while, Gao Yuanliang finally spoke: "My lord, this matter is not strange at all. In fact, at the beginning, you repaid the merit. I just wanted to remind him, but in the end I held back......

Zhang Zhang nodded, understanding what Gao Yuanliang meant.

Lao Gao and Yi Jiang have always been in the army, naturally no better than Pan Batian and Xiaoran, it seems that they know a lot about these twists and turns in the army.

Pan Batian slapped the table and jumped high: "My lord, those grandsons will move their mouths and snatch all our credit, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?!" ‘

Zhang Zhang nodded. Again, it means that it is understood.

The atmosphere was a little depressing, and everyone couldn't figure out how to deal with this matter.

After a long time, Zhang Zhang finally spoke: "Old Gao, you have been following me. Should know my temper. The ability to talk to people and talk to ghosts, I am not inferior to anyone. But-'

The tension of the 'but' focused everyone's attention. Everyone craned their necks, waiting for tension to continue.

But. The feats are no better than the others! This is the more than 400 warriors in our Loyal Shrine who sacrificed their lives for the country in exchange for their lives! Whoever the fuck dares to grab the battle merits, he just can't get along with our regimental mountain army! ‘

As soon as these words landed. Everyone's emotions came up, and Gao Yuanliang slapped his thigh violently: "My lord, you are right! Giving the battle exploits to those turtle grandsons is disrespectful to the soldiers who sacrificed! Lao Gao didn't expect this layer before, ashamed! ‘

Zhang Zhang waved his hand: "I don't blame you, this is a disadvantage in the Ming army." ‘

Zhang Zhang glanced at the somewhat excited crowd, and said lightly: "I don't care about other places, the evaluation of the merits of our regimental mountain army must not be half false." You have all memorized what I said, and if anyone commits this, no matter who it is, I will remove him from his post with my own hands! ‘

The crowd said in unison: 'Yes!' ‘

At this time, Zhang Zhang suddenly sneered, and glanced at everyone meaningfully: "This official dares to slap the table and smash the wine glass, naturally with the hole cards, he can do such a thing." If you offend all the officialdom like a dumbfounder, how can you mix it up? ‘

Gao Yuanliang's eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth - yes, with the wisdom of the young master, how could he send his face to someone to beat? If you don't want to share the battle achievements with Ning Yuanwei's grandchildren, you don't have to go at all!

What kind of routine are adults playing when they show their faces?

Oops, the young master is playing pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, is it a perfect game, is it......

The others were not as active as Gao Yuanliang, and they all looked at Zhang Li with a puzzled expression.

Zhang Li bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I'll just say two things. The first thing is that the people from Nanjing are coming soon, and this matter is confidential, and we need to send someone to answer it when the time comes. Hmm, after I come down, I will finalize the details with Mr. Gao Qian, and you just follow the arrangement. ‘

Everyone was taken aback, Lord Zhang's people from Nanjing are coming?

Pan Batian was overjoyed, and said urgently: "My lord, is Fang Xiucai coming?" And the former Yan Langzhong them? ‘

Zhang Zhang nodded, smiling without saying a word.

Everyone stretched their necks and waited for Zhang Zhang to say the second thing, but Zhang Zhang was silent.

After a long time, Zhang Zhang said: "The second piece is not in a hurry in advance, let them dry." The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. Since the people from Nanjing are coming, I still have to make arrangements before I can start the next step. ‘

Everyone is still confused, but since Lord Zhang doesn't say it, these martial artists are also straight, so they don't bother to think about it, just do what the adults tell them!

……

On the sea surface of Liaodong Bay, three fortune boats are slowly heading west.

The leading one was obviously a circle smaller than the last two, only about 400 materials, but the bow of the ship was equipped with a Hongyi cannon.

On the left and right sides of the cabin were equipped with three jack franc machines, and there were countless other small-caliber firearms.

Above the bow. There was a young man standing in the wind.

Beneath his thick black eyebrows were large bright eyes. High nose bridge, straight mouth. The whole person looks cheerful, smart, and vibrant.

Beside him stood a middle-aged military general with dark skin and wearing a six-rank military attache uniform.

The military general glanced at the young man and said lightly: "According to the sea chart, there are still a hundred miles ahead to Ningyuan Zhongyou. ‘

The young man had obviously been thinking about things, and he was a little distracted, and as soon as he heard the military attache say this, his heart immediately surged: "Master Zhang. Half a year has passed, are you okay in another country? ‘

That's right, this young man is Fang Yizhi, the 'factory director' of the East Lushan Arsenal!

Fang Yizhi seemed to realize that his self-talk was a bit rude, and he arched his hand to the middle-aged general: "Thank you, Brother Zheng, for sending him all the way." ‘

The military general waved his hand and grinned: "Zhihu is just collecting money and transporting it, Fang Xiucai is serious." ‘

This military general named Zheng Zhihu is Zheng Zhilong's younger brother and the uncle of the famous Zheng Chenggong.

Fang Yizhi smiled slightly, and then stopped talking. His expression gradually became solemn.

This time, Lord Zhang actually spent a lot of money to rent a warship and two merchant ships of Zheng Zhilong, a guerrilla in Haiphong, to transfer all the people and things of the Donglushan Arsenal. All of them moved to Liaodong!

Lord Zhang, don't you know that Liaodong is a place of fierce warfare?

Opening a factory in Liaodong, aren't you afraid that the Tartars will come to loot?

Fang Yizhi rubbed his temples. Thoughts drifted away.

The Donglushan Arsenal has also been secretly established for more than half a year, and Brother Li's gold and silver sea have been smashed. The results were ineffective.

Alas, I was still too optimistic before.

It is the method of steelmaking that Mr. Zhang said at the beginning. I led the craftsmen to tinker for several months, and it was not until the last two months that the first batch of qualified 100 steels was smelted.

It is easier to know than to do, the ancients were honest and did not deceive me!

Fang Yizhi glanced back at the two big merchant ships behind him, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Fortunately, due to the abundance of craftsmen, the German technicians and craftsmen made a hundred self-generated fire guns from those newly smelted steel, and they themselves did not achieve nothing, right?

But Nanzhili iron ore is easy to buy, where can Liaodong get iron ore?

There is also saltpeter, which makes gunpowder, and sulfur is also ......

Hey, how could the Zheng family not be able to get these two things?

Fang Yizhi slapped his thigh, looked at Zheng Zhihu and said, "Brother Zheng, I heard you chatting before, Brother Ling Zheng Zhilong started in sea trade?" ‘

As soon as these words landed, Zheng Zhihu, who was beside Fang Yizhi, couldn't help but feel good.

Fujian people know how the Zheng family started, and the Zheng family is a little ashamed to talk about it - sea trade? Pirates are real!

Therefore, Fang Yizhi's statement invisibly increased Zheng Zhihu's friendliness.

Zheng Zhihu laughed: "Haha, yes." My eldest brother started in the sea trade, and the first thing he did was to do business in the Japanese country! ‘

Fang Yizhi is familiar with geography and is no stranger to the East, so he can't help but be overjoyed: 'Wa Kingdom? Great, wouldn't you get saltpeter and sulfur? ‘

Zheng Zhihu was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "Fang Xiucai wants these two things? This ......'

Obviously, saltpeter and sulfur plus charcoal can do something that everyone understands.

A little showman, buying this kind of strategic material, Nima is indeed a bit thunderous-

Fang Yizhi quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "I am here to help Ning Yuan's soldiers prepare for Lord Zhang's work, and Lord Zhang is ordered to train troops in Tuntian!" ‘

Zheng Zhihu's mouth opened into an 'O' shape, and he quickly understood what this soldier wanted to do.

He pondered for a moment and whispered, "If Fang Xiucai wanted something else, he would have been able to accept you now." Only these saltpeter and sulfur are controlled very strictly. ‘

Fang Yizhi laughed, took out a silver ticket of two thousand taels from his sleeve with his backhand, and stuffed it into Zheng Zhihu's hand: "Don't say this, don't say this." Brother Zheng took it to drink tea, and then turned around and found someone else to contact you. ‘

Zheng Zhihu glanced at the numbers on the silver ticket, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." If the amount is not large, brother, I also have a way, let's discuss it later! (To be continued......)
