With admiration for Su Yan, Lin Zhong returned to Tianping City with his men, although the county seat of Dehua has been occupied by the anti-Qing rebels, but Lin Zhong also knows the truth that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, so he did not plan to bring troops to the county seat, but continued to stay in Tianping City.

This looks no different from before Su Yan appeared, in fact, there are still people, Lin Zhong can send people into the county to trade, in exchange for the daily necessities he needs.

Lin Zhong's rebel army had been guarding the Tianping Walled City, and under the blockade of the Qing army, they could only hunt in the nearby mountains and forests, or grow some sweet potatoes and vegetables, barely supporting themselves, and now they have resumed trading with the county seat, which undoubtedly makes their situation much better.

After sending Lin Zhong and his party away, Su Yan began to deal with the light weapons arsenal that was not yet deployed in the system space, and considering the importance of this arsenal, he placed the location of the deployment behind the Yong Battalion in the city and countryside.

Perhaps out of secrecy or security considerations, when the Xiangyong Camp was built, the county order demolished a large number of residential houses around the Xiangyong Camp, so a large area was vacant around the Xiangyong Camp, and there were no residential houses nearby, so the secrecy effect was very good.

When Su Yan came to the Xiangyong Battalion to prepare to place the light weapons arsenal, the training in the school field of the Xiangyong Battalion was underway, and more than 200 young men in coarse cloth short clothes, armed with simple spears made of bamboo poles, were lining up in military formations under the reprimand of the instructor, or practicing assassination.

These young men were the two hundred and forty spearmen of the two companies that Su Yan ordered to recruit on the night of the occupation of the county seat, and after Liu Wenmin pacified the people in the city, I don't know if it was the influence of the system or what the reason, on the same day, two hundred and forty eligible young and middle-aged men went to the Xiangyong Battalion to sign up for the army, and were incorporated into the two teams of newly recruited spearmen.

Until the small arms arsenal was deployed and ready for production, these recruits could only be trained with improvised spears made of bamboo, unless they were made to order at the city's blacksmith shop.

[Sure to deploy a small arms arsenal here?] 】

Standing in the open space next to the Xiangyong camp, Su Yan's mind sounded the prompt of the system, he nodded decisively, and chose yes, and after he confirmed his choice, he saw a flash of white light in front of him, and a huge arsenal was located in front of him out of thin air.

"Damn, it's so big!"

Rao You, who has seen Su Yan in the world, couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

But then, he realized a fatal problem, and he hurriedly asked the system: "The arsenal is so big, it will definitely attract the attention of the natives of this world, how can I explain to them that this building appeared out of thin air?" ”

[The host does not need to worry, the system has instilled corresponding memories in the residents of Dehua County, and they will not be surprised by the appearance of the arsenal. 】

"Such a bug?" Su Yan was shocked again, and had a new understanding of the strength of the system.

"But how is the arsenal going to be put into production? You must know that the people here are basically illiterate and illiterate, and asking them to operate sophisticated machines is equivalent to giving a child a fragile precious porcelain so dangerous. ”

[All the people who become workers in the arsenal will be automatically instilled by the system with the knowledge of the use of the corresponding machines, and the host only needs to recruit workers from the people in the city.] 】

[In addition, the arsenal is currently a primary arsenal, capable of accommodating up to 500 workers, and can produce 1,000 spears or 400 rifles per month. 】

It can produce 400 rifles a month, which is still enough for the time being, but Su Yan has another question, he asked: "So, where will the resources for the arsenal produce weapons come from?" ”

Dehua is very short of iron, and the only ones that can be mass-produced may be kaolin and other minerals used to make ceramics.

Hearing Su Yan's question, the system actually showed a contemptuous tone for the first time:

[The host should not underestimate the products of the system, and all the arsenals rewarded by the system do not need the host to provide resources. 】

Hearing the system's answer, Su Yan didn't care about its tone, his face showed a few smiles, and said, "It's so good, who doesn't like it?" ”

Ignoring the system's answer, Su Yan pushed open the closed door of the arsenal and walked in alone.

As soon as he entered the production workshop of the arsenal, a chill of steel came directly to his face, Su Yan looked around curiously, looking at the brand-new machines, and couldn't help but step forward and stroke them gently.

Although he was stroking cold machines, in Su Yan's opinion, these machines were comparable to beautiful women with graceful figures, and beauties could not help him win the war, these machines could help him indirectly.

"Okay, great!"

Su Yan couldn't stop muttering, he had been in the arsenal for more than ten minutes before he finally walked out of it.

As soon as he left the arsenal, he went straight back to the county office, ordered the recruitment of 500 arsenal workers throughout the county, and ordered the only militia to be stationed in the arsenal to take charge of the security of the place.

Although the county seat is peaceful, Su Yan is difficult to guarantee whether there will be a Qing army sneaking into the city in the future, if it is destroyed by the Qing army sneaking in, then he will not be hurt and distressed?

Su Yan's order was quickly carried out, and until the next morning, all five hundred people were recruited, and under Su Yan's gaze, all entered the small arms arsenal, and soon, with the sound of a gong, the roar of the machine resounded inside and outside the arsenal.

Listening to this deafening roar, Su Yan's heart was surging, and he seemed to have seen in advance the appearance of brand-new rifles being made and equipped in the army, and under his leadership, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was driven back to his hometown outside the Guanwai.

However.

His fantasies were quickly interrupted, or rather, his good mood was quickly interrupted.

At this moment, a man with blood stains appeared outside the gate of the arsenal and wanted to rush inside, but was immediately stopped by the militia who were holding the handle outside the arsenal.

Seeing that he could not break through the militia's blockade, the man slammed his knees directly on the ground, kowtowed to the ground fiercely, and shouted: "General! Please be the master of our Jinshui people! ”

Su Yan heard the noise outside, walked out of the arsenal, frowned slightly, he looked at the man who couldn't stop kowtowing, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

When the man heard Su Yan's voice, he hurriedly raised his head, looked at Su Yan, and said, "General, please be the master of our 113 households in Jinshui!" ”

Seeing this, Su Yan knew that something must have happened, and he didn't care about the affairs of the arsenal, so he said to the man: "You get up first and talk to me carefully!" ”
