However, thinking of this, they also participated, and several people's faces were full of excitement.

After Jiang Chao tried a few more times, he finally determined the various data of the mortar bamboo mine.

As long as this data is mass-produced, it will be able to come in handy at that time.

But the disadvantages of this kind of thing are also obvious, once it encounters a rainy day, it is almost impossible to use.

If there were smokeless gunpowder, there would be no such problem.

Unfortunately, smokeless gunpowder can only be manufactured when the technology is mature and the talent pool is sufficient.

There is also this kind of simple mortar bamboo mine, if it encounters the cavalry rushing peak, or scattering the attack, or the infantry advancing quickly.

There is a possibility that they will be pushed forward, and the bamboo thunder will not be able to do much damage at all.

Jiang Chao was trying to see if he could make a flintlock pistol. With the current technology, it is still possible to mold out a rough barrel.

It's just that such a barrel will be very poor, and it will explode after a few times.

He still has a long way to go to build a real musket, or a hot soldier or weapon.

Jiang Chao also left the ironmaking workshop at this time. He just wanted to go to the kiln to have a look, but Ah Shenghuo hurriedly came over.

"Master, the county lord has brought someone to your house, and there are still things to be delivered. There are a lot of people! ”

When Jiang Chao heard this, he hurriedly walked back, this time Song Ningxue brought everything he needed, and he also needed many related talents, especially those who made gunpowder and bamboo thunder.

He asked Ah Sheng to inform the village chief and ask him to arrange a place for people to live. The brick houses have not yet been built, and for the time being, only a few houses can be vacated in the village.

When the county lord saw Jiang Chao, there was obviously a worry on his face. The matter of the bandits in Jiming Mountain made her worry and admire.

The villagers helped unload the things. There were also some pieces of iron and copper, which were sent to the ironworks.

In addition, Song Ningxue also sent a lot of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal.

Only the first batch was sent last time, and Song Ningxue sent someone to purchase a lot more.

Gunpowder was not used in the military, and all of these things were not regulated.

In order to be able to wipe out the bandits, Song Ningxue almost went bankrupt. She had twelve points of trust in Jiang Chao.

"Sir, what you asked me to inquire about, I have inquired, recently several groups of Khitan merchants have come to Jiangzhou, I heard that they brought some fur jade, but in the end, their goods were robbed by the five largest bandit mountains in Anning County."

When Song Ningxue asked people to unload the goods, she found Jiang Chao alone. Said with a worried face.

"Do these Khitan businessmen know that the goods are robbed, but they still have to send the goods to Anning County?! Moreover, did the five bandits have a tacit understanding to rob these goods? The main thing is that there is no record of the entry of these goods ?! ”

Jiang Chao looked at Song Ningxue with strange eyes. His words made Song Ningxue's face full of shock. looked at Jiang Chao dumbfounded, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Her expression proved that Jiang Chao was not wrong.

The Khitans are funding the bandits in Anning County to rebel, no wonder these bandits have such courage, it turns out that it is because there are people behind them.

Anning County belongs to the south, and Khitan is in the north, and the two are separated by thousands of miles.

The reason why the Khitan people did this was because they wanted to set the backyard of Dazhao on fire.

In addition to Anning County, it is estimated that there are more bandits than this wave of bandits. As long as there is a rebellion in Da Zhao, the Khitan may take the opportunity to seize Da Zhao.

"I also found out that blacksmiths have been robbed in several other counties of Jiangzhou Province, and some charcoal-burning potters have disappeared." Song Ningxue continued.

Her words deepened the accuracy of Jiang Chao's guess.

Potter, blacksmith! The five bandit hills in Anning County are afraid that they are making weapons.

"Sir, what shall we do now?! Even if this matter is reported to Zhoufu, Zhoufu is afraid that he will not believe it. Without the help of the officials and troops of the Zhou Prefecture, once those bandits take action, Anning County will definitely not be able to hold it. ”

Song Ningxue frowned, her eyes full of worry. On the side of Zhoufu, he only cares about himself at all, even if he knows that there is something wrong with this, I am afraid that no one wants to take care of it, and he will take care of it.

Otherwise, it would not have allowed bandits to run rampant until now.

"Has the person you brought here? What happened to the recruitment of private soldiers? Jiang Chao looked at Song Ningxue. He didn't answer the other party's question.

Since he couldn't hold it, he was ready to take the initiative.

It's best to find an opportunity to take down the bandits in Jiming Mountain in one fell swoop, and first deal with the biggest threat to yourself.

As for the remaining four units, they said that they were bandits from Anning County, but in fact, they only had a few hills on the border of Anning County.

If there is a real rebellion, they will seize several other county seats.

The bandits of Jiming Mountain, what they may want to seize is Anning County.

It's just that the bandits in Jiming Mountain are not as good as Mao'er Mountain, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers.

The villagers who rely on the village protection team alone are afraid that they will not be able to destroy the nest.

"Private soldiers are being recruited, but there are almost a hundred new recruits, plus the guards of the county king's mansion before there are 100 people. Two hundred have now arrived. ”

"Well, that's good, take the people to the drying ground in the village." Jiang Chao nodded to Song Ningxue, got up and walked forward.

At the same time, he also asked people to load the soap and perfume made at home into the car, and prepared to let Song Ningxue take them back to the county seat when the time came.

If the first batch of goods can open up awareness. He believed that perfume and soap were not sold at all.

When the relevant workshops are built and the output is raised, it will definitely be profitable.

Song Xiaoya followed Song Ningxue's instructions and brought 200 people to the drying ground in the village, and Song Ningxue and Jiang Chao came to the drying field.

When they saw Jiang Chao, the eyes of the two hundred people in front of them were full of disbelief and contempt.

Jiang Chao, who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, was not taken into account by them.

The palace guards were better, although they didn't stand very straight, but they were also tall. It is worthy of being the guard who came out of the palace.

But the new hundred people were all scattered and crooked. At first glance, there is no organized meridian law.

"Why, are you not convinced? Think I'm a hairy boy and unworthy to lead you? ”

Jiang Chao looked at the two hundred people in front of him lightly, and said in a cold voice.

The group of people in front of him knew what was going on at a glance, and it was estimated that they saw that Jiang Chao was only a teenager, and he had no power or power, so how could he lead them!

Song Ningxue was able to make these people obedient, in addition to her own force value, but also because she was the county lord, but what could Jiang Chao do?

With the sound of the river tide. Among the guards of the county king's mansion, a man in his thirties said coldly:

"It's good that you know, boy, don't think you're a little clever enough to make the county lord trust you, and you think you're amazing. If you want to convince me Lao Lin, you ...... Not enough qualifications! ”
