"Get up. After only herself and Xiao Shizhu were left in the main hall, the ghost mother slowly got up, walked down the high platform slowly, and after standing still in front of Xiao Shizhu, she looked at the other party with a smile and said, "Or do you feel comfortable kneeling on the ground?"

"You're also quite shrewd, and you have a minister who has just finished arguing with me to check and balance me. Xiao Shizhu slowly stood up, bent down and rubbed his knees, and said, "It's no problem to let Qiushuang be the prison army, but she can't fight, how can she assist me?"

"I'm not going to let Autumn Frost balance you, you just let it go. It's just that she's too angry, so there's nothing wrong with letting her and you sharpen it. And as long as you don't lose, she will never interfere with your command. The ghost mother looked at the displeasure on Xiao Shizhu's face, and said with a slight smile: "Don't be unhappy, I know that if I want you to do something, I will definitely tell me a bunch of conditions; But Qiushuang must be a prison army, and this point cannot be refuted. ”。

"You still understand me, then I will start to negotiate terms with you! This is the first one, that is, Lu Wuying recruits them to join the war with me, and you must not interfere. Especially Lu Wu, he is also good at water warfare, and he also knows the hyacinth of the sea, which is a big treasure of naval warfare. Xiao Shizhu immediately put away his displeasure, blurted out with a smile, and said, "In addition, you only need to give me five thousand sergeants, and the remaining one thousand sergeants, I will expand the army myself." ”。 Judging from what he blurted out, these conditions were already thought of by him in advance, and it seemed that the previous displeasure was all a foreshadowing for the ghost mother to say what she just said.

"Expand the army?" The ghost mother frowned slightly when she heard this, and asked, "What kind of army is expanded?"

"Air Force. Xiao Shizhu nodded and replied.

"What is this? Haven't you heard of it?" asked the ghost mother frowning again, and after a moment's thought, she was stunned.

"So you guys are too backward in the underworld, you don't have smartphones and games, not even the Air Force. But it's no wonder that you, mainly because the Emperor Xudu is too pedantic, standing in the position of a god for too long, and not accepting new things, but the human souls that come down from the mortal world, only Bai Ding, who is illiterate, is left, so how can this underworld develop?" Xiao Shizhu sighed slightly, and then explained to the ghost mother: "But then again, in fact, in the world, the air force is also a branch of the army that has only appeared in modern times, and to put it simply, it is a unit that uses flying tools to transport and strike at ground targets. ”。

"Of course, there are obviously no ghosts in the underworld who can build airplanes, and naturally we can't make bombers and fighters. But it is possible to think differently and replace the aircraft with a kind of demon spirit, so that an air force can be formed to carry out air strikes against ground targets. ”。 Xiao Shizhu said proudly.

After finishing speaking, he saw the ghost mother looking at him in a daze, her face was full of puzzlement and ignorance, and she said in a daze: "I still don't understand." ”。

"You don't have to understand, you just have to promise me to expand the quota for me by 1,000 people. When the time comes, this team will definitely be able to catch Wu Zhiqi off guard. Xiao Shizhu didn't bother to explain, so he casually said a few perfunctory words.

"Good. After a moment's thought, the ghost mother nodded her head in response, and then asked, "What else do you want?" After speaking, he motioned to Xiao Shizhu and went out for a walk with her.

"In the past few days, I have looked through all the materials you sent to me, and the information on the weapons and equipment of the sergeants of the ghost mother country is the most detailed part I have seen. After reading it, I found a big problem. Xiao Shizhu followed the ghost mother and slowly came to the outside of the hall. By this time, the rain had stopped, but there was still a fresh air in the air.

They got off the abutment of the main hall and turned around and headed in the direction of Tenguen.

Xiao Shizhu continued to say: "Although your army weapons are all made of stainless steel and extremely sharp, they are all cold weapons. The ghost mother country is also a military and defense legal system, and each city is set up to command the garrison, and the following is divided into guards and offices. Each guard has an establishment of 5,600 and has a command; Wei has jurisdiction over 5,000 households, each with 1,112 people and 1,000 households; 1000 households under the jurisdiction of 1000 households, each with 112 people, with 100 households; 2 general flags under 100 households; and 5 small flags under the general banner. There are indeed no problems or defects in such an establishment, and it can cope with large-scale wars and unified mobilization. However, a command of nearly 6,000 sergeants had only fifteen artillery pieces and eight hundred muskets, which was too little. ”。

"Then again, fighting a war is actually the same as playing a game. The reason why RMB players in the game are good is that they are well equipped. It is undeniable that cold weapons made of steel are indeed good for hand-to-hand combat, but they are too backward compared to firearms. If the Ghost Mother Kingdom wants to gain a foothold on the vassal states of the underworld, it must open up a remote territory and not be limited to this small island. In order to open up territory, it is very important to enhance the strength of the armed forces, and first of all, it is necessary to solve the problem of equipment, and at the same time vigorously develop firearms, equip the armed forces with sophisticated firearms. Xiao Shizhu turned his head to look at the ghost mother when he said this, and saw that the other party was also turning his head to look at him, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, knowing that she was also interested, so he continued to talk endlessly: "Don't talk about it, just talk about this battle against Wu Zhiqi, I need you to give me 2,000 thunderbolts and 100,000 projectiles, 3,000 three-eyed guns and 300,000 projectiles, as well as 1,000 hundred tigers and 500 underwater dragon king cannons." You have plenty of these things in your arsenal, dial some for me. Let me show you what it means to be a 'modern war' and a coordinated operation of the land, sea and air."

While speaking, the two monarchs and ministers had already come to the gate of the Tengu Garden, and King Kong and the guards and soldiers saw the ghost mother and hurriedly bowed to each other. Xiao Shizhu smiled and said, "Why don't you go to my kennel for a cup of tea, and let's talk about the equipment in detail?"

"Your offer isn't too much, and it can satisfy you, but that's it. If you continue to do so, you will have to empty my house. The ghost mother seemed to have guessed that Xiao Shizhu had ulterior motives, although she didn't know what the purpose was, she was already vigilant, so she glanced at him and walked into the Tengu Garden.

She just sat down under the flower stand in the Tengu Garden, and Xiao Shizhu asked King Kong and them to hurry up and make tea, and then ran over, nodding to the ghost mother and smiling: "Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, then I'll take Tiankui Xing, is it okay?" As he spoke, he pointed to the Celestial Star that was following him.

"What are you taking it for?" asked the ghost mother curiously.

"This tengu has been with me for a while, and I have some feelings, and I haven't seen it for ten days and half a month, and I always feel that there is something shortcoming. Xiao Shizhu sneered and said: "And it has a good nose, after attacking the island, if Wu Zhiqi is not dead, hide, let it find it." ”。

"Okay. "The ghost mother thinks it's not a big deal, just Xiao Shizhu. So he took the fragrant tea that King Kong and they brewed, scraped the tea powder with the quilt cover, sniffed the tea fragrance brought by the heat with his nose, glanced at Xiao Shizhu, and said: "The clouds and mist planted by the feather people? The market price is a pound of gold leaves, and it is very good to drink!"

"My lord, this is for you. Li Hao then said with a smile. Then, Li Chai took over and said, "Usually Lord Xiao counts and drinks, and he himself is reluctant to soak such a large amount." Every time I make tea, the tea leaves are clear in pieces. Not much at a time, I only dare to brew five pieces of tea to try it. ”。

"Just your brothers. Xiao Shizhu saw them exposing their old backgrounds, and hurriedly scolded them: "Take care of the tengus." ”。 After finishing speaking, he turned back and smiled at the ghost mother.

"Do you know I'm coming to you?" You will go to Chunyun to get the talisman and the order flag, and the Dongcheng Guard will be under your command from today onwards. As for the equipment you want, I'll send someone to bring it to the barracks in the afternoon. ”。

And the ghost mother didn't know, in fact, Xiao Shizhu deliberately guided her here, in order to talk about materials and equipment. The ghost mother's good tea was right in the heart, and Xiao Shizhu saw the opportunity for the lion to open his mouth.

"It's not a prophet, it's just a rainy day. I asked you for so much equipment, and I had to bleed. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu's eyes rolled and said, "Since it is good tea, can you give a military fee of 180,000 taels of silver?"

"Xiao Shizhu, you don't have to get an inch with me. When the ghost mother heard this, her smile froze, and then she put down the teacup with a slight look of anger, raised her hand and suddenly patted the armrest of the chair and stood up, and walked out of the courtyard, and said angrily: "One hundred and eighty thousand? I can give you so many firearms today, it is already an exception, after exterminating Wu Zhiqi, I will reward you with a hundred catties of feather people and clouds, so that you don't count and drink." ”。 After finishing speaking, he led the maids to the inner court. This time, she finally knew that Xiao Shizhu was here for money, and she couldn't help but scold fiercely in her heart: "Greedy ghost!"

"Sister Ghost Mother, if you have something to say, you can't buy and sell benevolence. Xiao Shizhu chased after his ass and begged: "You don't give me funds, how can you train soldiers?"

"The military salary is paid by the military department on time and in full, and the same is true for the food and water you need when you go out on the expedition, what military expenses do you want?" Hearing this, the ghost mother suddenly stopped, followed by a turn, and almost made a full profit with Xiao Shizhu, who had caught up. I saw her frowning, glaring at Xiao Shizhu and scolding: "And the equipment has also been given, and I have also given the expanded quota, you are insatiable for me!"

"I can see it clearly, you little ghost brought me here again, and you served tea, all of this was premeditated!" The ghost mother added angrily, turned around and left angrily.

Staring at the back of the ghost mother who resolutely left, Xiao Shizhu shouted a little helplessly: "It's going to be winter soon, you have to give me some money to buy clothes for the soldiers." ”。

As soon as the ghost mother heard this, she suddenly stopped and turned back, glared at Xiao Shizhu angrily, and said, "What winter? What kind of winter? It's July 15, and you only have one month to take Wu Zhiqi." On August 15, you still can't take Wu Zhiqi, you ghost head to the ground. ”。 After finishing speaking, he frowned, narrowed his eyes, and said, "What do you want these 100,000 squares for?

"No, I want to fill my pockets with the 180,000 yuan! Xiao Shizhu barely squeezed out a smile, his eyes always looked at the ghost mother, and said: "If you don't give three melons and two dates, who will give you your life?"

"A thousand people, one person gives one or two enlistment fees. I'll let Chunyun dial you. After saying that, the ghost mother resolutely turned around again and strode away.

"Give more, does this person give fifty taels?" the brazen Xiao Shizhu asked after him.

"There are no doors!" the ghost mother didn't look back at him, and walked towards the inner court.

"My lord, didn't you get the money?" At this time, King Kong and the others ran over, stood side by side with him in front of the gate of Tengu Garden, and asked quietly.

"This ghost mother deserves to be the lord of the country, moody, and still a Grande. Xiao Shizhu looked at the back of the ghost mother leaving in a daze, and sighed: "Why do you pick the door like this when you mention money?"

"Grande?" Li Hao, Li Chai, and Yang Fengfeng were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads to look at him with doubts on their faces, and asked in unison.

"Read more. After saying something meaningful, Xiao Shizhu beckoned to King Kong and said, "You come with me and bring my map." Wangwen asked the three masters to stay and take care of the tengu. ”。

"No. King Kong answered, turned around and went back to the house to roll up the map, and asked Xiao Shizhu, "What are we going to do?"

"Training, big brother. Xiao Shizhu pulled his legs and walked forward, and said, "Otherwise, what else can you do?" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and blew a whistle, and Tiankuixing immediately rushed out of the Tengu Garden and followed him forward.
