"This ......"

Tao Yiping was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Master, these bullets are very expensive, and it will take two days for the two of us to make a bullet, plus the materials used for these bullets, so the two of us just tested a ......."

"Two days for a single bullet?"

Guo An glanced at the two of them speechlessly, "So, what else do you need to do?" ”

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Master doesn't know, it's the first time for me to make such a delicate fire system, and I don't dare to guarantee that it will be successful, so I didn't make a mold!" ”

"Stupid!"

Guo An looked helpless, "We, or His Royal Highness King Yan, who has deducted the money from the gunpowder workshop?"

Steel, sugar, saltpeter...... Even brass, aren't these supplies sufficient? What are you worried about? ”

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting opened their mouths and smiled wryly.

It was because His Highness and Master had supplied too much that he didn't dare to waste it at will!

Guo An ignored the two and walked straight out.

"Let's go and give it a try!"

"Yes, Master!"

The two hurriedly followed!

At the test site, Guo An stood a zhang away, raised his hand in his hand, and directly pressed a little force on the wooden stick opposite.

"Bang!"

After a short and rapid loud noise, the iron plate a foot away directly let out a muffled sound and flew out five or six steps.

"Good!"

Guo An's face was happy, he didn't care about the numbness of his arm, walked over quickly, and saw the bullet that had been embedded in the iron plate, and his face was happy.

At this time, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting also came over.

Looking at Guo An, who was happy, Tao Yiping said attentively: "Master, even if this kind of hand is three zhang away, it can penetrate the iron plate!" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An bowed slightly, "How many of these bullets are in your hands?" ”

Tao Yiping replied: "Back to Master, there are only these five left!" ”

Guo An said: "In this way, then make another hundred for us, and three for us in addition to this kind of fire system!" ”

"Yes, Master!"

Tao Yi responded, still a little unwilling.

"Master, the student thought he could try a distance of five zhang away!"

Guo An couldn't help but glare, "There are only five bullets left, how dare you waste it?" ”

Tao Yiping was stunned.

Guo An waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's hurry up and make fire systems, incendiary bombs, and grenades for us!" This fire system, let's take it away! ”

"Yes, Master!"

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting responded respectfully.

Guo An got out of the gunpowder workshop and went to King Yan's mansion.

Zhu Di needs to be informed about the hand.

Otherwise, according to Zhu Laosi's stingy temperament, when he finds out in the future, he will lose his temper again.

"See Your Highness!"

found Zhu Di, Guo An saluted.

Zhu Di asked curiously: "Guo Qing is looking for us, but what happened to the gunpowder workshop?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, do you still remember that a year ago, Weichen asked Tao Yiping and Yang Ting to make a very short fire system? ”

Hearing this, a trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, "But the fire system was made?" ”

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An directly took out the fire system from his arms and put it in front of Zhu Di.

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, he picked up the fire tong, looked around carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became.

However, there are some doubts.

"Guo Qing, although the craftsmanship of this thing is very exquisite, it is much shorter than the ordinary fire system, but it is still powerful?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, don't underestimate this thing, Weichen has tried it in the gunpowder workshop, and the iron plate one zhang away can be directly penetrated!" ”

"A foot away?"

Zhu Di's brows furrowed slightly, "Guo Qing, the range of this thing is so short?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, this thing is so small, the range will naturally be shorter." ”

Zhu Di said helplessly: "It's not just shorter, such a distance is like chicken ribs, and such a good process and steel are wasted." ”

Guo An was overjoyed, "Your Highness, this thing is a sharp weapon for Wei Chen. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di finally understood.

"This thing is a fire system specially made by Guo Qing for himself?"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, Weichen is weak and weak, and when he goes with His Highness to conquer Goguryeo in the future, there will be Goryeo thieves who want to assassinate Weichen."

And as long as Weichen brings this fire system with his voice, within one zhang, even if he is a thief with high martial arts, he can only hate the underworld! ”

Zhu Di looked disdainful, "It's just a fire system, how can it be so strange as Guo Qing said?" ”

Guo An smiled, "Your Highness is extraordinary, brave and invincible, and you don't need to be fired." However, Weichen is just a powerless civil official, and he can only rely on this kind of foreign thing! ”

"In this way, then Guo Qing will take good care of it."

Zhu Di directly lost interest in the fire in his hand.

Seeing this, Guo An was naturally full of joy.

……

A few days later.

Shen Zhuang came to Beiping Mansion again and reported to Guo An that the Shen family had built more than 20 sugar workshops in Fujian, Guangdong and other places.

Guo An praised casually, and Shen Zhuang withdrew with a happy face, and stayed in Beiping Mansion all the time.

Immediately, it was time for spring ploughing.

Most of the workshops in the Yanwang Mansion began to cease operations, and all the farmers began to cultivate rice.

At the same time.

Due to the warmer weather, the army of the Northern Expedition, which had been preparing for half a year, was finally issued with Zhu Yuanzhang's holy decree.

Lan Yu is the general of the conquest, Tang Shengzong is the left deputy general, Guo Ying is the right deputy general, Geng Zhong is the left general, Sun Ke is the right general, and at the same time, Shen Guogong Deng Zhen, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong, Dongchuan Marquis Hu Hai, Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi, Xiongwu Marquis Zhou Wu, Huaiyuan Marquis Cao Xing...... and other generals will go out with the army.

Two days after the news of the dispatch of the Northern Expedition army came to Beiping, another news reached the Yanwang Mansion.

There were four princes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, who ran to Taiyuan, Shanxi, surrendered to the King of Jin, and had been sent to Beijing by the King of Jin.

Hearing the news, Guo An couldn't help frowning.

"They're all here to make trouble!"

Jin Zhong looked puzzled, "Dare to ask Changshi, who is going to make trouble?" ”

Guo An waved his hand a little impatiently, "It's that Goryeo thief who is making trouble!" ”

It's been so long, and Goryeo hasn't sent anyone to come...... Now that Lanyu is on a northern expedition, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, is also sitting at home, and he can receive the surrender of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty...... According to Zhu Laosi's temperament, how can he still sit still?

None of this matters, the key is that the bombs in the gunpowder workshop are not ready yet!

"Goryeo?"

Jin Zhong was stunned.

"Guo Changshi, Your Highness is looking for you!"

At this time, Ma He appeared at the door of the public house.

"This official is going now!"

Guo An got up, followed Hezhong, and walked towards the palace.

Sure enough, Zhu Dizheng had a gloomy face.

"Wechen see His Highness!"

Guo An sighed helplessly and saluted respectfully.

Zhu Di's face was full of resentment, "Guo Qing, that Goryeo thief dares to bully this king like this, this king wants to send troops and cut down that Goryeo thief king!" ”

"Weichen supports His Highness to send troops!"

Guo An said, "It's just that such a big event, I wonder if His Royal Highness can report to the emperor?" ”

Zhu Di said: "As early as last year, we had already played our father's emperor, and now we are sending troops to recruit the Goryeo thieves who have bullied us, and there is no need to play again." ”

Guo An said, "Weichen obeys the king's order!" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and did not send anyone to ask for the opinion of Changshi Zhu Fu, but directly instructed Ma He on the side: "Quickly send someone to summon the commander of Yanshanwei to the palace!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ma He hurriedly answered and ran out.

At this time, Zhu Dicai's expression eased slightly.

"Guo Qing, can you prepare grenades and mines for this campaign?"

Guo An replied: "Your Highness, there are now 10,000 incendiary bombs, and there should be about 25,000 grenades and landmines......

His Royal Highness's forgiveness is because Weichen did not think about it and miscalculated the shamelessness of the Goryeo Kingdom...... Otherwise, in winter, Wechen will give priority to making grenades and mines! ”

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes were full of excitement, "What is wrong with Guo Qing, so many incendiary bombs, grenades, mines and other bombs are enough for this king to enter the capital of the king of Goryeo!" ”

Guo An was taken aback, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Highness, forgive Weichen for his courage, Weichen thinks that fighting, especially attacking a shameless small country like Goryeo, is also doing business...... Nowadays, my Yan Wangfu is rich and strong, and in the event of a big war, it is necessary to reduce the damage of soldiers as much as possible.

Even if the bombs are exhausted, as long as our Yanshan guards are there, these bombs can be remade, and as for the lost property, they can all be compensated by the Goryeo Kingdom to my Yanwang Mansion......

And if the soldier dies, he will never be resurrected, which is a great loss for His Highness! ”

Zhu Di looked at Guo An for a long time, and then nodded slightly.

"Guo Qing rest assured, we are not the kind of people who are reluctant to give up their money!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Half an hour later.

Yan Shanwei commanded Tang Yun, and Yan Shanwei commanded Zhang Xing, Chen Tao and other generals, all of them hurriedly walked into the hall with a look on their faces.

At the same time, Zhu Fu, the long history, was also summoned into the main hall by Zhu Di.

"The last general, Tang Yun, see His Highness!"

"The last general Zhang Xing......"

After Tang Yun and the others finished saluting, Zhu Di said directly: "The Goryeo thief country has repeatedly played and bullied this king, and this king, as the dignified Yan King of Daming, must not suffer this great humiliation.

The king decided that ten days later, the central guards of Yanshan stayed in Beiping, and the left and right guards followed the king to conquer Goryeo! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Fu, Tang Yun and the others were suddenly shocked.

However, Tang Yun and Zhang Xing and other generals were full of joy.

"Your Highness is wise!"

And Zhu Fu was frightened, King Yan sent troops privately?

However, before Zhu Fu could advise, Chen Zhi, the commander of the Yanshan Central Guard on the side, suddenly stood up, his face full of grievances.

"Your Highness, last year, His Royal Highness accompanied the army to the north, and he was the middle guard of the last general who stayed in Beiping Mansion. This year, His Royal Highness wants to conquer the Goryeo thief country, and the last general will stay in Beiping Mansion to guard, and the last general will not accept it! ”

On the side, Zhang Xing and Chen Tao hurriedly said: "Why should Brother Chen be so careful, His Royal Highness asked Brother Chen to guard Beiping Mansion, but Brother Chen is important, Brother Chen doesn't have to think about it!" ”

"Yes, my family is in Beiping Mansion, and Brother Chen stays in Beiping Mansion, so I can rest assured that I can wait......"

Chen Zhi was furious, and glared at Zhang Xing and Chen Tao fiercely, "Shameless, you will follow His Highness to make meritorious contributions, let us take a group of brothers to drool with envy in Beiping Mansion......

Your Highness, the last general also wants to ask for war! ”

Zhu Di waved his hand directly, "Okay, since that's the case, then leave a thousand households for each guard, and the rest of the people will go out with this king!" ”

Chen Zhi was overjoyed, "Your Highness is wise! ”

Zhu Di said again: "In this way, Tang Yun will be commanded to sit in Beiping Mansion!" ”

Tang Yun: "......"
