Fan Zheng naturally didn't know that his and Li Qingzhao's poems had once again caused a sensation in Kaifeng City, and at this moment he was traveling all the way west, rushing to Pingxia City, and at the same time, there was also a task to collect materials for earth-shaking thunder.

There was not a lot of gunpowder in the Great Song Dynasty, and there were also many gunpowder weapons in the armies in the northwest, which could be directly called.

What is most lacking now is the checkered iron shell of the earth-shaking thunder, after a night of casting, with the strong industrial capacity of the Ministry of Industry, three hundred checkered shells were finally cast, all of which were taken away by Fan Zheng.

Three hundred checkered shells can make three hundred earth-shattering thunderbolts, which is still a drop in the bucket for the arduous task of defending Pingxia City, but fortunately, Zhao Xu has already rushed eight hundred miles and ordered the counties along the way to mobilize blacksmiths to secretly make checkered iron shells.

Fan Zheng arrived from Kaifeng to the nearest Zheng County, and the Zheng County Order, which had already received the secret order, had already been waiting for a long time.

"Fan Taicheng, Zheng County has few people and little strength, and only created more than 100 checkered iron shells!" Zheng County Commander said helplessly.

At this moment, Zheng County has not yet risen, and it is not yet a transportation hub for future generations, far less large than Luoyang Kaifeng, and the time is urgent, it is already done its best to be able to supply hundreds of checkered iron shells.

"It doesn't matter! Just do your best! ”

Fan Zheng didn't deliberately embarrass him, and with a wave of his hand, a team of forbidden troops went to receive the hundreds of iron shells.

"Thank you Mrs. Fan for your understanding!" The county magistrate of Zheng County breathed a sigh of relief and said, the casting of the checkered iron shell was sent by Kaifeng City eight hundred miles in an urgent manner, and he did not dare to have the slightest neglect.

"Of course, these hundred and ten are far from enough, Zheng County must continue to cast the checkered iron shell! Use the post station to transport the cast iron shell to Jingyuan Road every day, and transport 1,000 square iron shells to Jingyuan Road within five days! Fan Zheng ordered directly.

Once Pingxia City is completed, it will inevitably cause a strong reaction from Western Xia, leaving little time for the Great Song Dynasty, and five more days to transport materials is probably already the limit.

Although the output of Zheng County is small, it is better to get the drawings early, and there is enough time to cast the checkered iron shell, and then use the post station to send it to Pingxia City at the fastest speed, and the time is completely in time.

"A thousand?"

Zheng County Commander frowned and said, there are not many blacksmiths in Zheng County, this kind of checkered iron shell process is quite demanding, the output of a day is only hundreds, and it may not be enough to make thousands in five days.

"Each checkered iron shell Fan will receive a subsidy of five hundred yuan! In five days, the more the merrier. Fan Zheng said lightly.

"Five hundred wen!" Zheng County Commander exclaimed. An iron shell is 500 Wen, and 1,000 is not 500 yuan, which is not a small amount for Zheng County.

"The lower official guarantees to complete the task!" The county magistrate of Zheng County said without hesitation, with the position of the head of the evil doctor Fan Zheng's family, he naturally would not think that Fan Zheng would repay the debt.

Fan Zheng immediately smiled, there is not much time left for Pingxia City, and if he wants to get more earth-shaking thunder in a short time, in addition to the court's urgent order, there is also a large reward.

At that moment, Fan Zheng did not stop, and immediately set off and rushed to Luoyang as fast as possible.

Luoyang was responsible for handing over the checkered iron shell to Fan Zheng's future father-in-law, Li Kefei, who couldn't help but sigh when he saw Fan Zheng's appointment document for the supervising army.

He didn't understand that Fan Zheng had repeatedly acted and always taken the wrong path, and finally settled down with Li Qingzhao, and now he went to the northwest front to supervise the army, how could this be done by a doctor.

"Five hundred!"

Fan Zhengke didn't care about Li Kefei's embarrassed face, and looked at the huge number of checkered iron shells in front of him happily, the scale of Luoyang's city was not inferior to Kaifeng City, the iron smelting industry was developed, and the five hundred iron shells made him overjoyed.

At the moment, Fan Zheng placed another order of 5,000 yuan, which was completed within five days, and the unit price was still 100 yuan.

Subsequently, Fan Zheng set off again, Lingbao, Weinan, Xianyang, and Xi'an all got something, harvested a lot of checkered iron shells, and offered a heavy reward for five-day orders.

As Fan Zheng went deeper and deeper into the northwest, he harvested more and more earth-shattering thunder materials, and his mood became more and more solemn.

"Jingyuan Road has arrived!" Fan Zheng stepped into the desolate Guanzhong land, and his heart was shocked.

Once upon a time, Jingyuan Road belonged to the land of Guanzhong, and the historical changes and the continuous invasion of the Western Xia Dynasty made the land of Guanzhong decline sharply, especially the Jingyuan Road was half soldier and half peasant, many of them were inclined to militarization, and the development was extremely backward.

"Decree this overseer's order to go and join the forbidden army transporting the Divine Arm Crossbow and gunpowder."

Fan Zhengnai only set off the next day, and thousands of forbidden troops had already rushed to Jingyuan Road overnight carrying a large amount of gunpowder and divine arm crossbows, one step ahead of them.

"Order all post stations, once the checkered iron shells of each county are delivered, they will be transported to Pingxia City as soon as possible, and if there is a delay, the military order will be disposed of." Fan Zheng said coldly.

"Pingxia City!"

The accompanying general of the forbidden army couldn't help but be stunned, it was the first time he had heard of Pingxia City, and the task he received was to send the divine arm crossbow and protect Fan Zheng as the supervisor of the army by fate.

Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, presumably the construction of Pingxia City has begun." ”

……………………

The junction of Jingyuan Road and Xixia.

Taking advantage of the concentration of the Western Xia army on the Yanyan Road, Chong Pu led his troops out of the Hulu River, and Zhang Qi sent a large number of people at the same time to repair Pingxia City in the shortest possible time.

"General, I'm afraid the drawings of Pingxia City are wrong!" Adjutant General Yang Weizhong looked worriedly at Pingxia City, where countless people had worked hard for three days and had already laid the foundation.

The traditional city walls are rectangular, divided into inner and outer cities, as well as defensive facilities such as city walls and urn cities, horse-faced towers, etc.

However, the drawings of Pingxia City are diametrically opposed, it turns out to be a star-shaped, and the appearance is good-looking, but in the eyes of their soldiers, there are flaws everywhere.

Chong Pu's face was solemn and said: "The drawings are not wrong, this is a drawing from Kaifeng City, with the jade seal of the official family and the tiger talisman of the Privy Council, there will be no mistake." ”

"But ..................."

Yang Weizhong also wants to persuade again, where do those high-ranking Beijing officials know the cruelty of the war, they will only talk on paper, there was Xu Xi did not listen to the dissuasion, insisted on building Yongle City, which lacked water sources, but caused the tragic death of 200,000 soldiers and civilians in the Great Song Dynasty, and now there is a blueprint that does not know the so-called fortress, let them build a defense, in case the Western Xia army comes to attack, it is not a repeat of the mistakes of Yongle City.

"General Yang said carefully! As soldiers, we just need to obey orders. Chong Pu said categorically.

As the main general, he knows more, for the Pingxia City, all the roads of the Great Song Dynasty are covering this city, and the Yanyan Road lures the enemy to go deeper, and the other roads are feints to attract the attention of the army, just to build Pingxia City.

"General Qiyu! Lord Zhang sent news that the prison army from Bianjing was coming, and asked the general to cooperate with him sincerely and be sure to defend Pingxia City. Suddenly, a herald sent a military order.

"Prison army, which eunuch in the palace is it?" Yang Weizhong said dissatisfied, since the example of the eunuch army fleeing in fear, all the generals were extremely dissatisfied with the eunuch army.

Chong Pu said with a strange face: "This time the prison army is not a eunuch?" It's a doctor. ”

"The Imperial Doctor is the Prison Army!" Yang Weizhong couldn't help but be stunned and smiled bitterly, "At least after I am injured, there is still someone who can be treated." ”

Chong Pu shook his head and said, "This is not an ordinary imperial doctor, but a imperial physician Cheng Fan Zheng." ”

"Imperial Doctor Cheng Fan Zheng!" Yang Weizhong was about to continue to be sarcastic, and suddenly said in a daze: "Could it be the evil doctor Fan Zheng!" Found the evil doctor Fan Zheng who disinfected with alcohol and reproduced Hua Tuo's mastery? ”

"Not bad!" Chongpu nodded.

"Fan Zheng, the evil doctor after Fan Xianggong wrote "Man Jianghong".

"Fan Zheng, the evil doctor who made a lifelong agreement with the first talented woman of the Great Song Dynasty?"

…………

Yang Weizhong asked rhetorically.

This is not that Yang Weizhong is making a fuss, but that Fan Zheng's reputation in the Great Song Dynasty is too loud, and he is the first person of the younger generation, even if they are far away in the frontier, they have been famous for a long time, and even benefited a lot from it.

"Exactly!" Chong Pu replied helplessly, "And you don't have to worry about Fan Zheng fleeing for the prison army this time, this is the latest poem of Fan Taicheng and Li Cainu, and it has been ordered by the official family to circulate the three armies!" ”

Yang Weizhong took the document handed over by Chong Pu, looked down and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost! So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. ”

"Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat."

The contempt in Yang Weizhong's original heart was suddenly swept away, leaving only full of respect, how could he be greedy for life and afraid of death if he could write such a poem that regarded death as home.
