In this operation, Li Chaolong's brigade killed six people, which made Li Chaosheng a little curious, using his most advantageous army, semi-firearms equipment, against a group of thieves fighting with shovels and such a large number of casualties, Li Chaosheng's imagination was zero casualties.

Hearing this, Gu Zi took out another piece of information, which was a brief introduction to the casualties.

"The army entered the village, scattered the action, two stepped on the enemy's trap, died on the spot, after the death of these two people, the army was alert, began to send special personnel to clear the trap, so there were no casualties, and two were in the course of the battle, drank the water of the farmer's house, who knew that the water was poisoned, did not be saved, and one was killed by the enemy's crossbow arrows in the battle, and finally, the last person was to save a woman controlled by thieves, but the woman was just rescued, and was stabbed by the woman, and a knife was pierced into the heart and not saved."

"Later, I learned that this woman is also a thief, and she is also very famous as Wanhua, she is a cheap embryo who specializes in serving men in the team of thieves, and was finally shot to death by the angry brigade commander Li Chaolong."

Gu Zi told the information, and when he heard this, Li Chaolong's face turned black all of a sudden, and he scolded: "A group of guys who don't have brains, except for those who fell into the trap, there is also a third posthumous martyr who was killed by a crossbow arrow, and the other three who don't have brains don't give the title of martyr, and they go to the enemy area to drink water, they have a disease in their brains." ”

Li Chao scolded angrily, followed by pointing at Gu Zi and said: "Order to reprimand Li Chaolong, how can he bring the soldiers, if you can't bring me back to farm, I have forgotten all the orders and combat regulations in the dog's stomach, I am angry, I am angry." ”

Li Chaosheng was angry, the soldiers of the Lantian army were all carefully selected by Li Chaosheng, and if he died, Li Chaosheng was distressed, this time he died six, and be careful, maybe he didn't have to die at all, the person who died like this was simply dying in vain, which was very distressing for Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng was angry.

The high-level Lantian executives standing around all shut up when they saw this scene, and they didn't even dare to persuade them, at this time, going up to persuade them was tantamount to arching fire, so let Li Chaosheng dissipate his anger first, Li Chaosheng scolded, sat down and calmed down for a while, looked at Gu Zi and said, "What are you looking at me doing, give me a reprimand." ”

"Yes."

Gu Zi answered, and as soon as he walked to the door, Li Chaosheng said, "Wait a minute." ”

Gu Zi's footsteps paused, and Li Chaosheng sighed and said, "Then, those six people are posthumously crowned martyrs." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi immediately smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Gu Zi said that the pace was much brisker, after all, these six people were all killed for Lantian in battle, if they didn't chase the martyrs, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the Lantian soldiers, and now they can be posthumously sealed, as a part of the Lantian soldiers, Gu Zi is still very happy.

Seeing Gu Zi's happy appearance, Li Chaosheng said: "Wait a minute, but you have to severely reprimand Li Chaolong's army, why don't you scold people without me teaching you." ”

Gu Zi smiled: "Understand, the more ruthless the better, not ruthless, not enough to express your anger, teacher, and they don't have a long memory, hehe~"

Gu Zi went to send a telegram, and Li Chaosheng looked at a few people around him: "Do you have anything to do?" ”

At this time, Bai Shoumin said: "Well, there is something, division commander, I got information today, Li Zicheng's troops have entered Dali County, but they are not in a hurry to loot, but are reorganizing the army, and they, they have also created a mandarin duck formation army." ”

"Huh?"

Li Chaosheng frowned when he heard this, and Bai Shoumin said: "Battalion commander, the Mandarin Duck Formation is the method of our army's formation, and after so many years of training, it must be stronger than Li Zicheng's army, but even if the Mandarin Duck Formation is initially organized, it can also greatly improve the strength of Li Zicheng's army, we have to check it." ”

Bai Shoumin is right, the Mandarin Duck Array is a combination of long and short weapons in the era of cold weapons, and it is a real strong formation, even if Li Zichengjun only learns a superficial form, but the lethality is also strong, and Li Chaosheng also feels that this matter is a little tricky.

If Li Chaosheng had thought of fighting hard with the other party before, but now, Li Chaosheng didn't have much concern about this, after all, the kind of weapon that specifically restrained the mandarin duck array had already been manufactured.

Thinking of this, Li Chaosheng looked at Bai Shoumin and said: "It's okay, the learning cost of the Mandarin Duck Array is not high, and it is normal for the enemy to imitate, and when the real battle comes, we have a way to restrain ourselves." ”

Li Chaosheng said, Bai Shoumin smiled: "That's good." ”

After Bai Shoumin finished speaking, he stood aside and didn't leave, Li Chaosheng looked at Bai Shoumin suspiciously: "Your intelligence department is not busy today?" ”

Bai Shoumin smiled when he heard this: "Busy, very busy, hehehe......"

"Busy you don't want to go?"

Li Chaosheng frowned slightly, and when he heard this, Bai Shoumin smiled and said, "That, division commander, our intelligence department has opened a new liaison station in the capital. ”

"Oh, I know this, what's wrong, I was discovered?"

Li Chaosheng asked.

"No, no, how is it possible, this is the case, we don't seize a lot of gold and silver this time, we can also make a small fortune, it is very difficult for the Beijing Liaison Station to carry out its work, you see if you want to allocate some more money to us, not much, 50,000, 50,000 taels is enough."

Bai Shoumin said with a smile on his face, Li Chaosheng frowned when he heard this, but he didn't finish speaking, and then Guo Bao on the side said: "Your intelligence department has allocated enough funds, county honor, I came to you today to allocate funds." ”

"What money did your chief secretary approve?"

Li Chaosheng frowned and looked at Guo Bao, Guo Bao said: "First, we have to build eight large reservoirs in Lantian County, this needs money, in addition, Dali County will be merged into Lantian this year, Dali County is so badly plagued by thieves, it takes money to resettle displaced people, repair houses, and restore commerce, right?" ”

"And ......"

Guo Bao said this, Li Chaosheng made a stop gesture and said: "Let's talk about the total number, make a detailed list, and the financial department will review it." ”

Guo Bao said: "Why do you want 150,000 taels, if the county wants to speed faster, give 200,000 taels, it will definitely have the best effect." ”

As soon as Xu Xian finished speaking, he heard someone outside: "Dali, Mr. Song, why are you here, Principal Li." ”

It was Gu Zi who spoke, and Gu Zi had just finished sending a telegram, when several people saw Gu Zi and said, "Gu Zi, I heard that Li Chaolong's army won the battle and captured a lot?" ”

Gu Zi said: "Oh, a few people are very well-informed, it's a big victory." ”

"It's good to win the battle, is the county here?"

A few people asked, and after hearing this, Gu Zi said: "Here, talk to Bai Shoumin, the Minister of Intelligence, and Guo Bao, the Director of Political Affairs." ”

"Oh, okay, give us a briefing, and say we have something important to see."

Hearing this, Gu Zi said, "Okay, okay, you wait a minute." ”

As he spoke, he entered the house, and then saw Li Chaosheng looking at the door and said, "Teacher, Sun Dali, Mr. Song, and the principal of the academy Li Chaowen are here." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng glanced at Guo Bao and the others, patted his forehead and said, "This is a shark smelling blood, call in." ”

Soon the three of them walked in, followed by Sun Dali and said, "County Zun, congratulations on the county Zun's victory." ”

"Hey, good."

Li Chaosheng was not very interested, he already had some understanding of what these people were going to do, and then Sun Dali smiled and said: "County Zun, let me tell you a big thing, that is, the thunder mercury I told you last time, I have made significant progress, as long as I am making additional investment, I promise to produce results in two years, not one and a half years, and help our Lantian to upgrade the firearms to another level." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "Additional investment? ”

Sun Dali said: "Yes, additional investment. ”

Li Chaosheng said: "You have already allocated 50,000 taels for this project?" ”

Sun Dali said: "Fifty thousand taels is enough for such a big project, and now more than half of it has been blown up, and I feel that at least fifty thousand taels are needed for the county, and as soon as the funds are in place, I will be able to conduct more experiments, and when the time comes, I will definitely be able to make thunder mercury out for you." ”

Sun Dali said to Li Chaosheng very excitedly, Li Chaosheng looked at Sun Dali at this time and said, "Isn't 50,000 taels too much?" ”

"Don't you want thunder mercury?"

Sun Dali asked rhetorically, and Li Chaosheng listened and said, "I want to." ”

Lei Mercury Li Chaosheng needs it too much, as long as there is Lei Mercury, Xu Xian can make explosives packs, and with explosives packs, Li Chaosheng can prevent the unconscionable cannon that has made miraculous achievements on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, also known as the terrible weapon of the Flying Thunder Cannon.

This kind of flying thunder cannon is simple to manufacture, that is, to use discarded gasoline barrels, the bottom is filled with some detonating gunpowder, and a dynamite bag is stuffed inside, and after ignition, twenty or thirty kilograms of explosives are thrown into the sky.

This power is much more powerful than mortars, with this thing, Li Chaosheng is definitely crushing in terms of artillery, but it is a pity that there is no explosive package now, and there is no thunder mercury.

Li Chaosheng needs Lei Mercury very much, looking at Sun Dali's smiling face, Li Chaosheng is very angry, this money is not hot yet, you will come and grab it.

But this is not over, Sun Dali didn't finish speaking, Li Chaowen on the side pulled Sun Dali away and said: "Principal, my great principal, you still don't care about your academy." ”

Li Chaosheng looked at Li Chaowen and said, "What's wrong with the academy?" ”

"Principal, the academy needs funds, our medical school is making very rapid progress, but there is no money, many medical experiments cannot be carried out, we are anxious Zhang Jingyue, Chen Shigong two old gentlemen, into a handful, into a handful of beards, and then bald, Chen Shigong even donated all his savings for half of his life to practice medicine, but it is still not enough, now the two old gentlemen are blocking my door all day long, the president, you still help me."

Li Chaowen said with a crying voice, Li Chaosheng looked at Li Chaowen and said, "You also want money?" ”

Li Chaowen heard this and said: "Grand President, I am different from them, they are all for political achievements, I am all for the future of Lantian, for the children, for our academic career in Lantian, this is your support, not much, 50,000 taels." ”

"Hey, Li Chaowen, what are you talking about, just for the future of Lantian for you, we are all for political achievements, I want money for the people of Lantian Limin, without the people of Li, you still have a fart future."

Guo Bao was not happy at this time and choked back directly, this money seems to let me Guo Bao kick it into his pocket, so we are not happy.

"That's it, what's wrong, as far as your school is concerned, our intelligence department is related to the safety of Lantian, without the escort of our intelligence department, you students can study in school with peace of mind?"

Bai Shoumin was not happy anymore, and the principal of Lantian Academy couldn't speak at all.

Sun Dali was more direct at this time: "Li Chaowen, your school's medical career is the future of Lantian, my hard work to reform weapons, in order to help the army die less, the army is strong to protect the territory and the people, without the army to protect the territory and the people, the students of your school, how can there be that kind of relaxed environment to study, you are called crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." ”

The three of them condemned in unison, and when they heard this, Li Chaowen said aggrievedly: "Hey, why are you all coming at me." ”

The three of them didn't say anything when they heard this, Li Chaowen looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "Grand Principal, I made a military order with the old gentlemen today, and I won't go back if I don't get the money, we are the same clan, you can't watch me homeless." ”

"Hey, shameless thief, you don't want your face for some money, and you put your nepotism out."

Hearing this, Guo Bao was furious and said to Li Chaowen.

Li Chaowen said: "Go, I know that your government secretary is powerful, but don't mess with me, provoke me, I won't let my students enter your government secretary in the future, I will make you unavailable." ”

"Hey, you old boy is playing with me, aren't you?"

Guo Bao was angry and wanted to fight with Li Chaowen.

At this moment, Song Yingxing strode forward and said: "County Zun, I have successfully developed the steam engine model, the next step I am going to make a steam carriage, and now I need 50,000 taels of funds, you see if it is allocated to the old man, in addition, the hydrodynamic lathe you asked me to develop is almost the same, and the follow-up costs have also been converted to 50,000 taels of silver for you, and the county will give you money." ”

Saying that, Song Yingxing stretched out his hand, and the meaning was obvious, 50,000 taels to buy two scientific and technological inventions, you have made a lot of money.

Hearing this, several people looked at each other, and they all stretched out their hands and said to Li Chaosheng: "Give money." ”

Li Chaosheng looked at a few people, his face was wrinkled into eggplant, the money had just been seized, and before he could cover the heat, this group of debt collectors came to collect debts from him, you have gone too far.

But looking at these guys, Li Chaosheng really couldn't refuse, every project that these people were responsible for was very important. Isn't intelligence important?

Important, the two armies have not moved, and intelligence comes first.

Isn't government affairs important? Isn't it important to build a reservoir and resettle the people?

Important, the people are water, who can carry the boat, can also overturn the boat, they are uneasy about the people's livelihood, and they are trying to make a fart in the world.

Isn't Mine Mercury important? Important, it's an explosives pack, it's a thunderbolt.

Isn't the development of medicine in the academy important?

Important, penicillin, xanpenny, and smallpox vaccine bovine disease research is also very important, you must know that the end of the Ming Dynasty is the peak of the development of the epidemic, the most serious time, there were 8 million deaths, that is 8 million people!!

Is a steam engine important? Are hydrodynamic lathes important? It's all important, the development of the steam engine can make steam ships, and if the steam ships are built, they can compete with the Western powers for hegemony in the ocean, is it not important?

Important, important, all important, can you not give this money?
