Chapter 10: My Journey (Part II)

ps: New book upload, ask for collection, ask for recommendation!

Li Ying is not afraid that he will not be able to control Liu Xian.

Not to mention money, food, and armaments, just the background in the officialdom is enough for him to firmly grasp Liu Xian in his hands.

Of course, this refers to Hanzhong Funai. When Liu Xian stepped onto the provincial level, or even a bigger stage, Li Ying was nothing. But where can Li Ying have such a 'lofty' ideal and vision at the moment, his vision can only fit the junction of southern Shaanxi and Sichuan and Hubei at most.

"Makes sense, good mind. You say, what do you want. As long as the official can do it, as long as Chenggu County has it, the county will never hesitate. Li Ying changed his title again.

"Your Excellency, this way—"

In the inner room behind the hall, six mountain splitting cannons lay quietly on the ground. Li Ying's face changed suddenly, he had already seen the two mountain splitting cannons on the wall before, how could he never have thought that Liu Xian actually had as many as eight.

"Can you forge a cannon?"

Eight mountain splitting cannons, this is no longer a 'buying' cannon can be explained. No one dares to sell eight cannons in one go, Liu Xian can cast his own cannons.

"Look again, sir!"

Liu Xian didn't look at Li Ying's face as cloudy as the Sichuan Opera changed in an instant, picked up a piece of letter paper from the desk on the side and handed it to Li Ying. The above is Gong Zhenlin's iron mold casting method!

"That's how you forged these eight iron cannons?"

Li Ying had never heard of Gong Zhenlin, and he didn't know what iron mold casting was, but he could immediately understand the role of this method. According to this law, even if it is a small county in the city, it can also cast cannons every day.

"I am lonely and unheard, and I have not heard of this wonderful method. Shame! ”

Liu Xian said, "With this wonderful method of casting cannons, as long as the gunpowder is excellent, the two thousand volunteer battalions can defend the city without losing it, and the adults can have no worries." If you lead an army to fight thieves in the field, you can also feel at ease. "Clearly point out the word field war, this is to tell Li Ying, don't think about it, I can't dare to fight without artillery.

Li Ying's mind cleared up in an instant, and the thoughts that had just risen immediately dissipated. Yes, why do you think badly, can it be comparable to the division of the green camp with only eight small cannons? Master Mao was defeated and defeated, and Hanzhong Town was defeated repeatedly, and the lost iron cannons alone were far more than these small cannons in front of him several times.

It's not like a team can win a battle with an iron cannon. You have to have a brain, too! Soldiers dare to fight, generals are heroic!

"Well, well said. Breaking thieves in the field is put on the road to meritorious service. If you have what you need, the official will do your best. ”

Li Ying patted Liu Xian's hand and smiled happily, Liu Xian smiled happily when he thought of the convenience of supplies in the coming day, Liu Zhuo, Fan Debang and others thought that their team had become the descendants of the county order, looking forward to the future future, and laughed with joy. Enjoyed by our guests!

At night, the entire town of Willow Forest is filled with endless laughter. Piles of exuberant fires, illuminating the town as if it had jumped a hundred and fifty years later, the lights were bright.

"Your Excellency, please—"

"Please! Everyone, please, I'll get drunk tonight! ”

On the main seat, Li Ying, who had fulfilled his wish, frequently raised his wine glass and smiled uncontrollably. And this kind of means of letting go of his body and mingling with a group of swordsmen made Liu Xian unable to suppress the joy from the bottom of his heart. Since you're looking for a boss, even if it's a temporary boss, I hope he's a brainless idiot instead of a brainless idiot.

Just as Li Ying was full of surprises for Liu Xian's watch, Liu Xian also recognized Li Ying's watch Xiàn very much. Li Ying greatly changed the image of the late Qing official in his mind.

The next morning, Li Ying happily returned to the county with two sets of iron molds for splitting mountain guns, accompanied by Fan Debang and Liu Zhuo.

Fan Debang wants to communicate and accept the first batch of equipment and materials, while Liu Zhuo wants to erect flags in various towns and villages in Chenggu - recruit troops and buy horses!

A minimum of 500 people, and a maximum of no limit. This is the order that Liu Xian gave him! The two thousand taels of silver capital brought with him were undoubtedly two-thirds of the three thousand taels of silver that Li Ying had just rewarded.

The gunner will be rewarded with three taels of silver, the soldier will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and the defeated brave will be rewarded with one or two of silver. Accompanied by Ding Zhuang of Liulin Town, he rewarded one or two silver, helped clean up the people of Liulin Town on the battlefield, and hung a copper coin [200 pieces].

In total, it was only more than 600 taels, and Liu Xian and other leaders were not allowed to have a son. Because everyone knows that the small profits in front of them are not worth mentioning, recruiting troops and expanding the team is the first place.

Liu Mingchuan is the carrot hanging in front of their eyes, inspiring and luring their enthusiasm. Liu Xian should really thank his own family, it is he who has opened his eyes to this group of dirt buns under his hands!

"Fifth brother, the eldest son of Second Master Deng's family is here in ......"

"Fifth brother, Li Danyang arrives in ......"

"Fifth brother, the Meng family is here......"

“………… The Yang family is here......"

“…… The Hu family has also arrived......"

Like a marquee, since Li Ying came once, Liulin Town has become the focus of the county. Almost all the powerful and famous families, or sent disciples, or ordered stewards, and sent them to Liu Xianmen with generous gifts!

In just two days, 2,400 taels of silver, 20 horses, 500 stones of rice and flour, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and even cattle filled the cattle market at the west entrance of Liulin Town.

These people came to meet Liu Xian, not to say that they were going to get involved in friendship, but to say that Liu Xian had entered the top ranks of Chenggu.

Since then, among the powerful and famous families in Chenggu County, there has been a place for Liu Xian.

However, Liu Xian knew that at the same time that the Deng family, the Li family, the Yang family, the Hu family and other wealthy families in the county sent disciples to see him, the heads of each family gathered in the county one by one, and each came to visit Li Ying with a real gift.

The news of iron cannons, iron mold cast cannons finally spread throughout the county. At the same time, people were surprised, and almost immediately, they lowered their evaluation of Liu Xian and his subordinates by more than one notch.

Countless people attributed this victory in Liulin Town to the iron cannon owned by Liu Xian's department.

This thing, in the troubled times, is the treasure of the Baojia town, and that family wants to have it. Even the Deng family, the Yang family, the Hu family and other subordinates have artillery, and they also want to buy it again, and no one will think that this thing will be prickly at this juncture!

What made Liu Xian sigh for the ancients again was that there were so many family members in Liulin Town, and none of them privately tried to ask him for the secret recipe for iron mold casting cannons.

It's not that everyone is stupid, but really smart. Knowing that the 'righteousness' and 'authority' are still in the hands of the government, if he doesn't understand Li Ying's thoughts, he will privately cast his own cannons, and if he doesn't do so, he will be killed as a 'chicken' to hack the 'monkey'.

In Chenggu County, Liu Zhuo's recruitment plan has also suffered a heavy impact. In the past few days, the militia groups in various villages and towns, as well as the volunteer battalions in the county town, have opened their doors to recruit people. When the magical aura on Liu Xian's body withered, many people looked away.

You can't say that people are powerful, but under relatively equal conditions, Liu Xian is really much worse than the old and powerful Deng family, the Hu family, and the Yang family.
