In the marching procession, Guangguo Gonghe Jiuyi frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

The chief soldier Li Chengjue finally couldn't help it, exchanged glances with Lei Chaosheng, Huang Sanyuan and others on the left and right, urged him to take a few steps forward, and said: "Guogong, I heard that His Royal Highness Min intends to ask the old generals of Guangxi to go to help, can we just take these hundreds of people to help?" ”

Guangguo Gonghe Jiuyi glanced at Li Chengjue with a little surprise, and said unhappily: "Which one is so bold that he dares to eavesdrop on the chief's deliberations, and it spreads, is there no rule?" ”

Li Chengjue grinned and snorted twice, still stubborn on the question just now. As a close general of Guangguo Gong, he knew that Dao He Jiuyi would not really punish him.

He Jiuyi snorted and walked in silence for a while before he said slowly: "His Royal Highness Min wants to establish a foundation in Annan first, and then enter Guangxi to fight, so as to ask the King of Jin to send generals who are familiar with the style and land of Guangxi to help fight. The letter made it clear that as long as a few generals, there should be no large number of soldiers, because it is difficult to supply grain and grass. ”

"I'm afraid this is His Royal Highness Min's words against his will." The chief soldier Lei Pilgrim also came up, and said very firmly: "I am afraid that the King of Jin will suspect that he has the intention of seizing the army." ”

He Jiuyi shook his head lightly and said, "This may not be. Tengchong won a big victory, and His Royal Highness Min left King Zhao and half of the soldiers and horses behind, I am afraid that it is really not enough food. In his letter to the King of Jin, he named me directly, and as for you, I proposed it to the King of Jin. But if your hearts do not will—"

"Guogong, it's not that we don't want to, but I feel that it's too late to serve, and no matter how small the army is, I'm afraid I can't reuse my ears." Li Chengjue told the truth, with a little remorse on his face, "I heard that after Tengchong's victory, all the participating generals will be promoted to the next level and will be rewarded, and we have missed this opportunity." ”

"There will be a chance later." Guangguo Gonghe Jiuyi glanced at Li Chengjue, and said angrily: "His Royal Highness Min wants to show his strength in Guangxi, how can he get the praise of the staff of the old generals in Guangxi and lead the army to kill?" ”

Only then did Li Chengjue come to his senses, and there seemed to be a complaint about He Jiuyi's mistake in his words just now, and he hurriedly remedied: "Guogong, the last general will lose his words, and please forgive me." The last general doesn't complain in his heart—"

He Jiuyi waved his hand, interrupted Li Chengjue, paused, and said earnestly: "His Royal Highness Min can gather the remnants of the army from all walks of life to defeat the Qing army, either he has extraordinary ability, or he has extraordinary means. ”

"The teachings of the national government will be remembered in the end." Li Chengjue and Lei Pilgrim replied.

He Jiuyi nodded lightly and continued to ride the horse. Bring out their old generals, first, so that they can be valued by His Royal Highness Min, and have more opportunities to be promoted and rewarded; Second, they were also afraid that they would leave, so they stayed in the army of King Li Jin and were squeezed out and suppressed by the Jin generals.

As Sun Kewang's old general, although he stood on the right side in the internal strife between the two kings, after He Jiuyi and Li Dingguo merged, there was always a little uneasiness in his heart. Besides, the strength of the soldiers and horses he led surpassed that of Li Dingguo, and it was inevitable that Li Dingguo would be wary of him.

Zhu Yongxing asked Li Dingguo for He Jiuyi, and it can be said that both families were happy. He Jiuyi felt that most of Zhu Yongxing's subordinates were from the old Qin and Shu departments, and he should have no prejudices against himself; His name was mentioned in the letter, and it was obvious that he was very important, and he should have a bright future when he went to work. And Li Dingguo can rest assured that he can integrate people and horses, and he no longer has to worry about He Jiuyi and other generals.

In order to equip the Ming armies with the ability to attack again, it is necessary to solve some messy internal problems. While this may offer some people the opportunity to become warlords, Zhu Yongxing did not want to see the army collapse as a result of infighting, but instead become part of the Qing army's strength.

Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan are both figures who are loyal to the imperial court. Especially Li Dingguo, there is absolutely no problem with his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. Although the object of their loyalty is not themselves, in the current situation, they are still necessary for the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty. In the future, you may be able to slowly influence them so that their loyalty is less narrow.

Even if they can't change the obsession in their hearts, it can be regarded as an anti-Qing alliance. The united front, this concept and theory, Zhu Yongxing still understands. As for usurping power and seizing the throne as an emperor and unifying the world, it is even more distant and invisible, and there are many ways to go.

……………

Just when Li Dingguo and the others were still more than half a day away from Mo Nai and were walking on the road, Zhu Yongxing was squatting on the ground in the living room, beating a hard thing with a small hammer. It's ugly, there are a lot of impurities, and no one picks it up when it is thrown on the ground, so it's basically a waste, but it shouldn't affect the use. He finally broke a small piece and twisted the slag with his fingers, making a judgment.

"Okay, usable." Zhu Yongxing stood up, nodded with a smile at an old man who was panicked and didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and said, "Don't be afraid, the glass you made is qualified, and you will be rewarded." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." The old man threw his hands together and hurriedly knelt down.

"Get up!" Zhu Yongxing didn't go to help in person, signaled to a guard next to him, and sat back in the chair.

Glass powder, copper wire, sulfur, this can make the simplest hair pulling device, you can make grenades and mines. Of course, the mines of the Ming Dynasty were already very advanced, there were flint wheel firing devices. But that is too complex to manufacture and cannot be used universally in large quantities.

"Your Highness, the grass people are back, and when you go back, you must carefully ponder, build, and make usable glassware." The little old man was helped up by the guards and promised Zhu Yongxing in a whisper.

"No, no." Zhu Yongxing hurriedly shook his head, waiting for you to make glassware that can be used to make money, I don't know what about the Year of the Monkey, "A piece of stone, piece by piece, can be burned." Zhu Yongxing pointed to the ugly glass ball on the table and said: "There are a lot, the more the better, the sooner the better." I'll tell your workshop steward, give you an apprentice, and give you a raise. ”

The old man was very confused, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he knelt down and kowtowed, and then was taken out of the city.

Alas, there are a few people who can understand my thoughts, the loneliness of the traverser! Zhu Yongxing shook his head with emotion, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw a schematic diagram of the ignition device. Open flame earth bombs can be eliminated, and with wooden-handled grenades, there is also an extra weapon for fighting in the rainy season.

It's a pity that the curious baby Mengzhu went to Longfu to mess with his godsister again, if she is on the side, a question and an answer, he can show off again, more fun. After Zhu Yongxing finished drawing the drawings, he looked out the door expectantly, hoping that the light figure would appear soon.
