Tian Yingniang's words aroused Tian E's curiosity.

She was determined to meet Yang Chengying in person.

But when she followed Tian Yingniang to Yang Chengying's house, she learned that Yang Chengying had something to do, so she had to leave with regret.

So where did Yang Chengying go?

Outside the city of Golden State, the soldiers' camp.

Yang Chengying stroked the newly created weapon and couldn't help but admire: "Sure enough, it is made of high-grade iron, and the sharpness is different." ”

The person who sent these weapons was none other than Ning Wan.

Ning Wan smiled and said, "My lord said that the quality is good, which means that my deal is very cost-effective." ”

"How did you do that?"

Yang Chengying put down his weapon and asked curiously.

"We've been collecting tolls from smuggling boats, and I've always felt that it's not enough to make money. One day I met the owner of a boat who happened to have the same hobby of gambling as I did. ”

"Bet and gamble, and we got together. When talking about trade, we talked about smuggling fresh items, including iron for casting weapons, which was expressly forbidden by the Ming court. ”

"We didn't just lack this thing, so we talked to him about it. The result was naturally an instant hit, but I was afraid that the adults would make other arrangements, so I only made a very small number of weapons for the adults to evaluate. ”

After listening to my story, Yang Chengying nodded frequently.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty's defense of military generals was the culmination of many dynasties.

The casting of weapons was strictly controlled, and there were also civil and military systems, the distribution of food and salaries, and the system of health guards.

It is a big crime to build weapons by myself, and even Ning Wan, who is addicted to gambling and bold, has to be cautious and make a special trip to report Yang Chengying in person.

Facing Ning Wan's inquiry, Yang Chengying pondered for a long time.

It is indeed a great crime to build weapons and armor, but it is already September, and the first month of next year is getting closer and closer.

According to Houjin's offensive time, the first month will clash with Houjin.

If you don't have decent weapons, you can't resist Houjin's well-trained army.

Thinking of this, Yang Chengying said: "We can only take risks in a hurry." You set up a blacksmith shop near the center left office to craft weapons and armor, but you must be careful not to expose it. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I have already chosen a position, and I have also found a group of blacksmith-born soldiers in the navy, and they can start working at any time."

Ning Wan was prepared for a long time, and said his arrangement very smoothly.

Yang Chengying nodded appreciatively and said, "Thanks to Mr. Ning's presence, he has solved many problems for me." ”

Ning Wan said half-jokingly: "The solution to your problem is still the food of Chao Xian and the governor of Denglai, Tao Langxian." ”

"Huh? Haha......"

Everyone in the room laughed.

It is said that Fu Wushuang is the best, but I didn't expect Yang Chengying to take shit luck this time.

First of all, Xiong Tingbi, who was staying in Shanhaiguan, put pressure on Wang Huazhen and sent Yang Chengying the pension paid.

According to Luo Sanjie's letter, they have already set off and will return to Golden State soon.

As for why Wang Huazhen let Luo Sanjie leave, or because his mind was all focused on the preparations for recovering Shenyang, he let them go for the time being.

Secondly, Shen Degong's letters worked.

Tao Lang, the governor of Denglai, first sent people to transport Shen Degong's grain by ship, as well as some weapons and armor.

Finally, the trading ships of Chaoxian and Jinzhou sent several ships of grain.

These have solved Yang Chengying's urgent need.

So, in mid-September of this year, Yang Chengying once again left only 300 men and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses followed him to the Zhongzuo Institute.

Not only is it convenient to train with the sailors, but also to obtain weapons and armor nearby.

It can also separate the soldiers from the charcoal burners under Qi Dazhuang's command to solve the contradiction in space.

The most important point is to avoid Jinzhou City, which is full of large households, so as not to be discovered too early for the great crime of building weapons by yourself.

Before leaving, Yang Chengying met Tian E.

Tian E said contemptuously: "I heard that you are very powerful, but today I saw it." ”

Because he couldn't get used to seeing the eldest lady from such a big family, Yang Chengying didn't take her words to heart, but said lightly: "Indeed, I am not as famous as the eldest lady has seen. ”

"You...... But I really don't care about my own face. ”

"If the face can change two nests for me, then just take it."

Yang Chengying said, let the people in the house hurry up, he couldn't wait to set off.

Tian E asked in surprise, "You want to go out?" ”

"That's right. The food supply in Jinzhou City is not enough for so many people, and I must lead the army close to Port Arthur and get supplies nearby. ”

Yang Chengying answered her very frankly.

This made Tian E a little surprised, she said: "You have exposed your whereabouts, are you not afraid that I will be unfavorable to you?" ”

Yang Chengying smiled and said: "I hurt you so badly, you should do something to retaliate, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what do I have to be afraid of." ”

"You!"

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving."

After that, Yang Chengying walked past Tian E and went straight to the gate.

Tian E was stunned.

She thought that although she was not a Tianxiang country, she was still outstanding, but she didn't expect Yang Chengying to ignore it at all.

You wait for me, and I will definitely make you look good. Tian E secretly swore in her heart.

It's really strange, why didn't Yingniang tell me about this in advance?

Thinking of this, Tian E noticed that Tian Yingniang was not in the mansion at this time, and she did not leave with Yang Chengying.

She was about to leave the mansion and go to Tian Rong's house when she happened to meet Shang Kexi.

Shang Kexi blocked her way.

"It's you!"

"It's down there. My family said that Yingniang couldn't leave, so we sent her to the Zhongzuo Institute in advance, and asked her not to tell you. ”

"Why didn't you tell me? She and I are good sisters, and we are not allowed to see them off? Lord Yang is too domineering! Tian E said angrily.

Shang Kexi smiled coldly and said, "Miss Tian, who is secretly buying charcoal, I think you know very well." ”

"I ...... I don't know! ”

Tian E's dead duck has a hard mouth.

"Haha, if you don't know, go back and ask your father. At the same time, bring him a sentence that buying charcoal in large quantities is a stupid act that will only expose the target. ”

"You ......"

As soon as Tian E's words came out, she instantly understood something, and immediately regretted it.

It turned out that Tian Yingniang told Tian E the news of burning charcoal in advance, and the Tian family made corresponding preparations in advance.

When the charcoal was officially fired, they secretly used grain to buy charcoal from the charcoal burners.

The reason for this is naturally to use this incident to provoke a conflict between the soldiers and the charcoal burners.

Yang Chengying reprimanded Qi Dazhuang and Xu Shang respectively that day, guessing that there was someone behind the scenes.

To be able to buy a large amount of charcoal in a short period of time, you need to be prepared in advance, and this person who can prepare is naturally a big family in the city.

After investigation, it was learned that the main planner was Tian Chonggui.

Yang Chengying raided Tian Yingniang overnight and got the truth from her mouth.

In order to protect her, Yang Chengying sent her to the Zhongzuo Institute in advance.

"You wait for me, and I'll make you look the other way." Tian E thought angrily.
