North of the Yangtze River, the land of Jingxiang, now under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly King Sect, Xiangzhou City is divided into water and land, the river surface is foggy and misty, and occasionally you can see the boats on the river, all of which are full of swords and soldiers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiangzhou City may be a few places where the Heavenly King Sect has several heavy troops stationed, and in the past two years, it has been a vast array of Chen soldiers, and almost all the most elite soldiers in the Sect have gathered here, for no other reason, the Heavenly King Sect military division Bai Liansheng went here in person.

Although Xiangzhou is not the front line of the battle array, but in the southern offensive of the Heavenly King Sect, it is the most important link, in recent months, chaos inside and outside Chu has suddenly appeared, although the Heavenly King Sect has rarely had the momentum of large-scale attack, but the attention to Chu and abroad has not decreased for a moment.

The Governor's Mansion in the city, the commander-in-chief of all the important military and political affairs of Jingxiang, Bai Liansheng sat here, listening to the announcements of the officials in the hall, his gray face was even darker than a few years ago, sitting motionless on the circle chair, deep and unfathomable.

Bai Liansheng seems to be weak, but none of the officials in the hall dare to show the slightest slackness, everyone knows that this military teacher is highly relied on by the middle and high-level teachers, and has the power to kill life and death in Jingxiang, and several officials have been directly ordered by Bai Liansheng to punish the whole family because of their procrastination and greed for ink in the fortifications.

"It's too slow. After listening to an official's announcement, Bai Liansheng said: "Jiangling is a key place for our army to cut into the Chu State in the future, in order to prevent the Chu army from rushing to the aid from upstream, we must be prepared to intercept and intercept the area along the river to the area of Yiting and Yiling, and the big ships blocking the river must be stepped up." ”

The official wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied tremblingly: "Returning to the military division, all departments have worked overtime to catch up with the big boats, but there is a shortage of materials in front of them, and the main steel casting, whether it is supply materials or manpower, is occupied by artillery, I don't know if the military division can be——"

"You're on the wrong page. Bai Liansheng's tone was cold: "Artillery is the key to the victory of our army, and the Changsheng Army of the Chu State has already distributed muskets to each soldier, and the quality of the soldiers is extremely high." Although our army has a large number of people, it is not as good as the Chu army in close confrontation, and only by giving full play to the power of new artillery and making up for weaknesses can we have a chance of winning. Nowadays, there are many types of new artillery tests, and there is indeed a huge demand for steel and many other supplies, but this is the magic weapon for our army to win in the future, and I hope that the public can solve it.

On the basis of maintaining the necessary function of blocking and intercepting, the barrage ship can loosen some other less urgent designs, even if it is loaded with boulders to maintain the weight...... You can think of the specific method after you go down and think about it, and I want to see the results as soon as possible. ”

The officials receded like a tide, and only Bai Liansheng and Hengzong Town, who was guarding on the side, were left in the Governor's Mansion Hall, and Bai Liansheng was uncontrollably tired and exhausted, gasping heavily on the back of his chair. Hengzong Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and pressed one hand on Bai Liansheng's shoulder, the golden light floated, and it turned into Bai Liansheng's body bit by bit.

"No, I can hold on. Bai Liansheng patted Heng Zongzhen's palm and laughed at himself: "This body is almost withered, so the general doesn't need to spend his strength." ”

Hengzong Zhen was expressionless, his eyes looked into the distance through the Governor's Mansion and said: "The sect still needs military divisions, if you can take Jiangling this time, then the unification of Kyushu is just around the corner, and the construction of the sect country also needs the assistance of military divisions." ”

An unnatural color of blood appeared on Bai Liansheng's face, and he laughed in a low voice: "The Immortal Army of the Chu State is stationed up and down Jiangling, where is it so easy to attack? If the Sect State can unify Kyushu, I can also unload the burden and live for a long time, I really don't want to work anymore." ”

"Don't say that. ”

"Are you worried that my will will will fail? Don't worry, even if I die, I won't let the enemies of the church have a peaceful life. Bai Liansheng picked up a few simple maps on the table in front of him and said, "Who would have thought that the germ of a new type of artillery was actually hidden in a Taoist temple in Tianjing City, but unfortunately the Taoist priest who invented this kind of gunpowder has long since disappeared. ”

Hengzong Zhen looked at the dense words and patterns on the map, and said: "At the beginning of the establishment of the religion, it was inevitable that there would be fanatical believers who did not restrain themselves, and most of the temples in the middle palace of Tianjing City were smashed and burned, and the monks and Taoists fled one after another. Although the Taoist priest named Shu Ke was registered in the Xuanyi Temple, he probably didn't want to compete with the sect and fled overnight. It was a blessing to leave the manuscript of this room for the congregation to discover. ”

"Rivalry?" Bai Liansheng smiled, "Of course, no one person can compete with the Sect, but why do we have such a brilliant idea, not to sacrifice to the Sect in order to make meritorious contributions, but to flee without a trace? If we only think about strangling the opponent in the bud, then what is the difference between us and the old cadres?"

"The last general knows! Let the military advisor down!" Hengzong Zhen bowed his head in shame.

"There are only you and I here, and there are some things I have to say to you, and I know that you can hear them. Bai Liansheng ignored Hengzong Town's surprised look, "It has only been a few years since the founding of the country, and Kyushu has not yet been unified, and there are already quite a few people in the sect who have begun to seek personal interests. This is the normal condition of human beings, but the country is undecided, and poverty and luxury are inevitably excessive.

The people have been in hardship for a long time, and they have been gathering like clouds to support our sect in those days, isn't it just to have a stable family business and not suffer from hunger and cold? I think that some of the sect members have gradually forgotten their original intention when they started to struggle, and only wanted to enjoy themselves for a while, and even sent to the front line with the army began to perfunctory, but they did not know that such a mentality was just pushing the Heavenly King Sect to the end.

The inferior Bai Liansheng is just a literati who has no power to bind the chicken, even if he has the ability to strategize, it is not my own to charge into battle after all. The front line of the officers and men of the army is tight, and the princes must not eat tightly in the rear. The defeat of the old cadres lies in the corrupt governance of officials, incorruptible ethics, and extravagance; if the public officials in the sect fail to eliminate the ills and make mistakes in the past, then the achievements of the country will be ruined. ”

Bai Liansheng seemed to have exhausted all his strength to say this, without the slightest pause in the middle, and poured out to Hengzong Town smoothly and honestly, but in the end, he suddenly felt that all this seemed to be in vain, and sat quietly in the circle chair without saying a word.

Heng Zongzhen asked in a low voice, "Master Military Master?"

"Go down, I want to be alone. After Bai Liansheng said this, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, Hengzong Zhen sighed in a low voice when he saw this, quietly left the council hall, and then walked to a corner, took out a token from his arms, and urged the mana to transmit Bai Liansheng's words to Tianjing City in the distance.
