However, due to the production factor of crucible ironmaking, the production of muskets was too small, and according to the progress of the armory, one hundred and ten guns were produced in a month.

After Baili Wuji ordered mass production, the steam water wheel ship of the ship yard was finally successfully transformed.

The steamship has been working for five days without a strike.

And the volume of the steam boiler and linkage drive has been reduced by almost half.

It's just that the speed still can't be increased, unless the steam boiler is increased, which will still increase the volume.

Baili Wuji ordered Yang Shi to let the ship yard try to produce the use of steam in accordance with the steam waterwheel ship.

A month later.

When Peng Xiao returned to Tanzhou to report, the news that Xu Shouren and Sun Shixu had left the Chu State and were loyal to Emperor Fusang instantly shook the Tanzhou officialdom.

This is a governor and a commander, as well as the 6,000 Chu soldiers who went with it.

When Peng Xiaosheng burst into tears, saying that Xu Shouren and Sun Shixu took advantage of their unpreparedness to forcibly detain the naval ordnance and intercept the fifty Ming arithmetic students who were supposed to return to China, Sun Guangxian fainted, and Xu Shiming was also shocked when he heard it.

Baili Wuji hurriedly ordered people like medical workers to wake up Sun Guangxian.

Sun Guangxian knelt in front of Baili Wuji with tears in his eyes, "The king, the minister is incompetent, the godson has no way, the evil animal has done such a rebellious thing, the minister will not die to resist the evil, please treat the crime of the minister." ”

Xu Shiming then knelt down and bowed down to plead guilty. Xu Shiming can't figure it out, his son Xu Shouren is the king's ironcore, how can he say the opposite, if Sun Shixu is against Xu Shiming, he may believe it, but if he wants to say that Xu Shouren is against him, Xu Shiming really can't believe it.

In fact, Sun Guangxian couldn't figure it out. Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, this son has been convinced since he was a child. And those who are in a dignified state are all commanding envoys, and they are hot figures. How can it be the other way around?

But Peng Xiao swore that the two couldn't help but argue.

Baili Wuji helped the two of them up and said: "Xu Xiang and Sun Xiangdon't panic, what Peng Xiao said will be verified by this king, maybe the two of them have other plans, even if this matter is true, the loyalty of the two prime ministers is also well known, and will never implicate the two, this matter will be put aside for the time being." I'll think about it later. ”

Ordered the officials to step down.

Baili Wuji asked Peng Xiao: "How are things going?" ”

Peng Xiao said: "When a certain person returned, Sun Du's commander had successfully captured Iwashiro Province Wakamatsu Castle, and Xu Shenzhi had already captured Songshan Castle, the southernmost part of Dewa. The two met at Wakamatsu Castle. ”

"Very well, so that we have a foundation to show our loyalty to Emperor Fuso." Baili Wuji nodded again and again when he heard this.

"When you come back this time, do they have any letters to bring back?"

"Nope."

"Hmm....... Go down first. Baili Wuji waved his hand lightly and fell into deep thought.

……。

Outside the palace, Sun Guangxian looked at Xu Shiming with a blank look. Seeing Xu Shiming's expressionless face, Sun Guangxian was puzzled in his heart.

Is it because Xu Shouren is a righteous son? Old man Xu is not in a hurry at all?

Xu Shiming glanced at Sun Guangxian. Sigh lightly.

stepped forward and whispered: "Sun Gong, don't think about it, if these two really rebel, can Peng Xiao easily give up?" Zhenliao, Zhenhe dozens of guns on the ship. Four thousand sailors, can two people disarm? Even if it is disarmed, the six thousand Chu troops under the command of the two. Can you be obedient? Sun Gong, it's chaotic to close yourself. But. This matter must not be talked about or questioned. It's best to be a fool if you don't know the way. ”

Xu Shiming patted Sun Guangxian on the shoulder and sighed.

Sun Guangxian is a smart person, but he is a fan of the authorities, and after Xu Shiming said this, the fog in his heart opened. Yes, even if these two people lose their lives, it is impossible to betray Baili Wuji. After figuring it out, Sun Guangxian was relieved and went home .......

Early June.

The two patriarchs of Badong County, Zhu and Jiang, came to the Tanzhou palace and asked to see Baili Wuji.

Baili Wuji met them in the front yard of the palace.

"Two patriarchs, it seems that today is not the time to distribute dividends, right?" Baili Wuji quipped.

"The king laughed, and a certain two people were given to the king." Jiang Jiliang stepped forward and replied.

"Giving it away?" Baili Wuji was stunned.

Jiang Jiliang said: "Has the king forgotten the promise he made to the Padang father in Chung County, Gyeongju? ”

Baili Wuji only remembered, it seemed that there was such a thing. When he captured Chungxian County, the old man of Padang came to Gyeongju to ask for a meeting, and he promised that he would recruit Padang Jingzhuang to follow him in three years.

"This king remembered, there is such a thing, I don't know how many people the two patriarchs of Lu Dao brought today?"

"Back to the king, six hundred strong."

"Okay, this king will take it."

……。

Baili Wuji ordered Baili Kang to transfer 2,400 soldiers from the infantry compartment of the special operations army, and formed 3,000 men with these 600 elites, equipped with muskets. Shoot it yourself for shooting training.

Bai Likang was a little dissatisfied, the total number of infantry compartments was only more than 5,000 people, and 2,400 people were transferred at this time.

Baili Wuji comforted: "Don't be careful, after three months of training, you will still be included in your special operations army, and the missing posts in your infantry compartment will allow you to recruit supplies by yourself." However, if you need to command the musket capital in the future, you will also have to train with this king, and leave the recruitment to Ding Sijing. ”

Bai Likang left happily.

Since then, Baili Wuji has personally conducted a month of musket shooting training for 3,000 musket soldiers, ensuring that each soldier has fired 300 shots, and then conducted three-stage firing training.

In a three-stage shot, a team of three people shoots at the front of the musketeer, then retreats to the rear of the line to concentrate on reloading ammunition, and the second soldier comes forward to fire. Three people alternately reload and fire, tripling the efficiency of flintlock pistols that would otherwise take a minute or more to shoot at a time!

This is a big killing move against the Khitan cavalry in Baili Wuji's heart.

The eighth year of Shu Guangzheng, July.

After the Southern Tang Emperor Li Jing was insulted by Wang Yanzheng, he began to send troops to attack.

In mid-July, the Southern Tang general Du Yuhou Chen Yanzheng led his troops to besiege Jianzhou and repeatedly defeated the Quanzhou soldiers. In the second half of the year, the Southern Tang Dynasty general Du Yu waited for Bian Ho to conquer Rongzhou.

Wang Yanzheng knew that he was invincible, and while resisting, he sent an envoy to Wu Yue to claim his vassal and ask to be Wu Yue's vassal for rescue.

In early August, Wang Yanzheng was defeated and killed.

Min died.

……。

After two months of governance by Xu Shouren and fifty students, the territory began to settle down, and the original lord clan and guardian clan were cleared, and the people of Fusang were not greatly affected.

As early as the end of the war, Sun Shixu sent an envoy to Heiankyo to meet Emperor Suzaku, declaring that he had broken away from the state of Chu and once again expressing his determination to be loyal to the emperor. He also asked the emperor to give him the surname "Kinoshita".

For this surname, Sun Shixu has denounced with Xu Shouren more than once, why not choose a majestic and domineering surname, but since it was chosen by the king, he always had his intentions, although the two of them slandered, they complied. (To be continued......)
