The next morning, waking up with a hangover, Zhu Long still felt a little headache and had little appetite, so he barely finished breakfast, and then Wu used it.

"These days, it's hard to work as a military advisor!" Zhu Long sincerely thanks, because in the past half a month, Wu Yong has been like a big housekeeper, taking care of all the trivial affairs of Zhujiazhuang, such as the registration and settlement of the roster of returned soldiers, the inventory and storage of seized materials, and the rewards of the soldiers of the three armies.

"It's not hard!" Wu Yong smiled and said: "Lehe has sent a letter, saying that the old thief is instigating Emperor Daojun to send troops to attack my Zhujiazhuang, but the emperor hesitated, because the army in the south of the river is in full swing, and the imperial court must destroy Fang La first!" ”

Zhu Long smiled, "Isn't this just a good opportunity for us to recruit peace?" ”

Wu Yong's face was worried, and he said, "I'm afraid that there will be brothers who are dissatisfied with ......."

"That's for sure! But Zhao'an is just a false strategy, not our goal, as long as we explain patiently, they can understand! ”

"I hope so! I don't know how the lord is going to start? ”

Zhu Long said without hesitation: "Blockade Caoyun!" ”

The Great Song Dynasty has four Cao Canals, just like four major arteries, which continuously transport the country's wealth to Tokyo, one of which is the Gwangje River to the northeast, which passes through Xinginfu, Gwangjejun, Puzhou, Jeju from Tokyo, and finally flows into Yangsanbo.

The people's fat and people's ointment on Jingdong and Jingxi roads flow into Tokyo along the Guangji River.

Shandong was an important economic and cultural center of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was a heavy place for taxation, and if Zhulong blocked it, it would definitely alarm the Beijing division and make the imperial court's finances fall into difficulties.

In normal times, the imperial court may not be very nervous, but at present, the uprising in the southeast is in Jiangnan, the main source of finance and taxation in the Great Song Dynasty, which is equal to the financial revenue of the imperial court, which is reduced by more than half at once, how can the Daojun Emperor, who has always been poor and extravagant, stand it?

He can stand it, and the 800,000 forbidden army can't stand it! Without the money, the emperor's orders were not working.

As long as you resist the full counterattack of the two waves of the imperial court, then the imperial court may negotiate to recruit peace!

Zhu Long silently drew the key point - to resist the all-out counterattack of the two waves of imperial courts.

"What does the military advisor think should be arranged by the Zeng family's father and son?" Zhu Long looked at Wu Yong and suddenly asked.

Wu Yong was happy in his heart, Zhu Long was willing to discuss such an important personnel arrangement with him, which proved that he had returned to the core of Zhujiazhuang's power.

The last time the four main forces were formed, Zhu Long didn't discuss it with him, and made a decision alone, which made him depressed.

He knew that Zhu Long still didn't trust the Zeng family's father and son, first, their power was too strong, the six father and son, Shi Wengong, and Su Ding, the mountain was too big, and it was reasonable for Zhu Long to worry about not being able to control it.

Second, Zeng Lao Er is a Jurchen, Wu Yong couldn't be clearer, Zhu Long's imaginary enemy has always been Dajin Kingdom, and Zhao Ji is just a dry bone in the mound in his eyes.

Although he doesn't trust it, Zhu Long is a person who loves his life. Shi Wengong is the first fierce general of the Zhu family's army, Su Ding and Zeng Tu are both first-class masters, and the other four sons are also fierce generals, can Zhu Longyan abandon them?

Although Zhu Long was not easy to say, Wu Yong understood the contradiction in Zhu Long's heart, shook the fan, got up and paced back and forth, muttered silently, suddenly stopped, and said: "If it is a mediocre master, then it will be dismantled, so that they do not belong to each other!" But the lord is wise, and he treats people with benevolence, righteousness and integrity, and all the generals under his command are not convinced, so he might as well let the Zeng family father and son form a separate battalion, and the so-called father and son soldiers will definitely double their combat power. ”

Zhu Long nodded slightly, what Wu Yong said coincided with his thoughts. He continued to look at Wu Yong, with Wu Yong's character, he would not trust others easily, and there must be arrangements.

Sure enough, Wu Yong paused and continued: "However, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the six fathers and sons are all in one army, which is very inappropriate, and the story of the Yang family is not far away!" The lord may wish to keep a son of the Zeng family by his side, if there is a case, there will also be heirs to continue the incense! ”

"The military advisor is thoughtful!" Zhu Long nodded, "In this way, I will take the four hundred strong men and four hundred elite horsemen who surrendered from Zengtou City as a line, and Zeng Lane will be the captain." ”

Wu Yong smiled meaningfully, "The lord is wise!" ”

It is indeed a good idea to have Zeng Lane as a lieutenant.

The two of them picked up the teacup and drank tea at the same time, and the room was quiet for a moment, Wu Yong suddenly remembered something, and said casually: "Lord, the people from Lijiazhuang have gone back!"

Zhu Long raised his head and glanced at Wu Yong deeply.

After the "Eagle Soaring" Li Ying and the "Grimace" Du Xing were arrested, the people of the Li family took refuge in Zhujiazhuang, and now Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Mansion, are all locked up in Zhujiazhuang, Lijiazhuang is safe, and it seems reasonable for the Li family to go back.

But in fact, this is not the case, Li Jiazhuang has always been garrisoned by the soldiers of the Zhu family's army, and it is already a piece of meat swallowed by Zhujiazhuang, with Wu Yong's ruthlessness, how can Li Jiazhuang be returned to them?

Zhu Long knew that there was only one reason here - Lin Chuman.

Wu Yong must have known about the matter between himself and Lin Chuman, so he drove the Li family away.

Although Li Ying has already taken a leave of absence from Lin Chuman, there are some things that cannot be broken with a letter of resignation, everyone lives in Zhujiazhuang, and sooner or later it will attract gossip.

The more powerful the person, the more people like to choreograph his amorous gossip.

"This is the letter that Mrs. Lin left for you!" Wu Yong took out a letter and presented it to Zhu Long with both hands.

Zhu Long took the letter, glanced at the envelope, did not open it, and stuffed it into his arms.

The matter between the Li family and Lin Chuman, as soon as Zhu Long came back, someone reported it to him, and he also knew that Lin Chuman had returned to his parents' hometown Jeju. It's just that I didn't expect that it was Wu Yong's single-handedly planning behind it.

Wu Yong is also for Zhu Long's reputation, he first cut off the relationship between everyone, and then asked Zhu Long to take Lin Chuman into the door openly, which has nothing to do with the Li family, and is refreshing.

He is so well-intentioned, it is difficult for him.

However, in Zhu Long's opinion, it is redundant. Tang Gaozong in order to get his father's woman Wu Meiniang, Tang Xuanzong in order to snatch his daughter-in-law Yang Guifei, is a monk and a fake death, and he has acted in a full play, and the archway is erected high, but who can be deceived?

But then again, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty really knows how to play, and Zhu Long can only express his admiration!

He Zhulong is with a woman who has been divorced by her husband, it can be said that he is upright, where he needs to hide people's eyes and ears, Wu Yong is too careful.

The two discussed secretly for a long time, finalized many things, and then sent someone to invite the generals to the council hall for a meeting, which was scheduled for the afternoon.

It was still early, he played a few boxing techniques, practiced stick and marksmanship for a while, changed into clean clothes, and went to see Zeng Lang.

Although Zeng Lane is in his fifties, his temples are white, his waist is straight, he can hold a strong bow, he can ride a fierce horse, he can control the second daughter at night, and his body is tougher than that of a young man.

However, when Zhu Long saw him, he was writing in the hall, engrossed in his pen, and he didn't realize that someone was coming.

Zeng Tu apologized and said with a smile: "My father has always been like this, and he forgets things when he writes!" I'll go tell him! ”

"Don't worry, wait for Ling Zun to finish writing!" Zhu Long stopped him and exclaimed, "Chief Zeng is really an elegant person!" ”

"If my father hears his lord praise him like this, he will be overjoyed!" Zeng Mi said with a smile.

After a while, Zeng Rong put down the brush, raised his head, and saw Zhu Long and his sons standing outside the hall, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Zhu Daguan is here, please come in quickly!" Old decay is rude! ”

He glared at his sons, "Don't call me either, let the Zhu officials wait at the door, it's really ignorant!" ”

Zhu Long waved his hand and said with a smile: "Chief Zeng is so focused, calligraphy must be extraordinary, can Mobao allow a certain view?" ”

"Insulting!"

When the two came to the desk, they saw that the white paper read, "Although the turtle is long, there is still a time." The beetle snake rides the fog and eventually turns into ash. Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. In the twilight of the martyrs, the heart is strong......"

"What an old man, with ambitions for thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong! "I wish the dragon to applaud his palms, this song Cao Cao's "Turtle Although Shou" vividly depicts the image of an old hero who is old and strong and enterprising.

"Chief Zeng has such a strong heart and a thousand miles of ambition, Zhu admires him very much!"

Zeng Lang hurriedly said: "The old man has never read a book, he writes and plays blindly." ”

Zhu Long smiled and said, "Chief Zeng should be strong and strong, Zhu wants to ask you to lead a team for me to fight in all directions, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

"Let me lead the troops?" How is it possible that I don't believe in my ears? Zhu Long should be a reckless man like Xiang Yu, he only knows how to fight and kill, how he became Liu Bang, appointing people on the basis of merit, and doing his best to his subordinates.

Zhu Long said with a smile: "You have five tigers in your family, but you still have to carry this tiger with you!" Moreover, the Zeng family has 400 infantry and 400 cavalry, I think it can be formed into a separate battalion, fighting tiger brothers, and going into battle father and son soldiers! ”

"Old, old, willing!" Zeng Lang said excitedly. I can't imagine that half of it is about to be grounded, and I can still realize my dream of being a general.

The five brothers of the Zeng family were also very happy.

"Since you are a separate camp, you should choose a name!" Zhu Long reminded.

"Please give me a name!" Zeng Lang quickly changed his title, no longer "Zhu Daguanren", but "Lord!" ”

Zhu Long thought for a while and said, "Lao Ji is in the middle of nowhere, and his ambitions are thousands of miles!" Let's call it Qianji Camp! ”

"Qianji Battalion? Good! The Zeng father and son were very happy.

Zeng Lane suddenly calmed down and said to Zhu Long sincerely: "Although the five dogs are not talented, their martial arts are quite passable, please choose one of them and stay by your side!" ”

Go on the road! Sensible! Zhu Long secretly gave a thumbs up, it was pleasant to deal with smart people, looked at Zeng Kui, and said: "Brother Zeng Kui performed very well in the dragoon last time, I think let him continue to stay in the dragoon!" ”

Zeng Kui didn't know whether he should be happy or sad now, the elite of the dragoons, he was very happy and proud to stay in the dragoons, but he was a little sad to be separated from his father and brothers, and he couldn't fight side by side and charge for them.

Zeng Lang patted him on the shoulder, looked at his son like a black bear, and said seriously: "Shiro, the dragoon is the strongest elite soldier in Zhujiazhuang, you have to work hard and don't live up to the high expectations of the lord!" ”

"Yes!" Zeng Kui said the urn.

Zhu Long said goodbye to the Zeng family father and son, returned to his residence, and sent someone to invite Wei Dingguo to come over, but Li Wang, the steward of the King Kong Iron Workshop, happened to come back.

Li Wang was sent by him yesterday to invite someone back, because he wanted to discuss the matter of building a cold forging armor with him.

Li Wang also thought that Zhu Long asked him to come back to report on his work, and he was very well prepared, and the data made Zhu Long very happy.

Now you can build thirty pairs of plate armor per day, which is a pretty impressive number.

In addition, many arrowheads, spear heads, hand knives, and horseshoes are produced every day, which are continuously transported to Zhujiazhuang.

Zhu Long was very satisfied with Li Wang, but he noticed that the name "Hao Jie" appeared in Li Wang's mouth many times.

"Steward Li, who is this Hao Jie?" Zhu Long asked curiously.

"He is the original manager of the King Kong Iron Workshop, he is a good young man, his skills are very good, and he also has a set of craftsmen, I will tell him about this Gang Zijia when I go back, and let him think of a way!"

"Well, tell him that if he can make a derangement armor, I will reward him with 100,000 yuan, and you will do the same, reward 100,000 yuan, and his merit will be your merit, and you will be promoted to the chief manager!"

Li Wang was excited in his heart, the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed, and he pretended to be modest: "The villain doesn't dare to take credit......"

"What about the secrecy of the King Kong Iron Workshop?" The better the operation of the King Kong Iron Workshop, the more Zhu Long worries about the safety of the Iron Workshop, although it is more than fifty miles away from Zhujiazhuang, but after all, it is in Yuncheng County, Jeju.

Li Wang hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, young master, we are very careful, after the craftsmen have built the weapons, they are all put in a warehouse, and then at night, our brothers from Zhujiazhuang will carry them onto the ship and send them to Zhujiazhuang."

Moreover, we told the craftsmen not to tell others about the things in the iron workshop, even if their parents, wives and children did not tell them, otherwise they would bring great disaster to themselves. ”

Zhu Long fell into deep thought, and after a while, he got up and paced, and said: "This kind of work can't last long, and these craftsmen must be turned into our Zhujiazhuang people!" As for how to do it, you go and ask the military advisor, but you have to remember that you can't do bad things! ”

"Yes! If the eldest young master has no other orders, the villain will retire! ”

"Okay, there you go! By the way, next time I come back, bring that Hao Jie to me! ”

"Yes!" Li Wang retired and left.

After Li Wang left, Wei Dingguo came in.

He had arrived long ago and had been waiting outside the door.

"Old Wei, here! Sit down, I'll give you a good thing to see! Zhu Long beckoned and took out a pair of drawings for him.

Wei Dingguo looked at it for a long time and wondered, "Lord, what is this?" ”

"Cannon!"

"What for?"

"Just like your fire gourd, fill it with gunpowder, and then put in stone bullets and the like, and then insert a fire rope behind it, light the fire rope, and after it is burned, boom! Wherever the stone bullet flies, there is erosion everywhere it goes! ”

Wei Dingguo was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

Zhu Long patted him on the shoulder and said, "There is also a blacksmith shop in Zhujiazhuang, you can ask the steward there to help you and see if you can make a cannon!" I see you're pretty good at firearms, so I'll leave it to you! ”

Wei Dingguo inexplicably became the chief engineer of the artillery research and development project, so he had to take over the task head-on.
