please make me king

Chapter 1163 Expanding Armaments
"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Qin!" Zhu Yiyu, the magistrate of Lantian County, stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Okay, okay, you're welcome!" Zhang Shun didn't like these cumbersome etiquettes, so he waved his hand and asked.

"Now that you've been a county magistrate for a few months, do you have any experience?"

After the two of them exchanged polite words, Zhu Yixuan sat down cautiously and said with emotion: "People often say: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Believe me!"

"Originally, I was an example, impassioned, and praised and criticized the heroes of the world."

"Now that you've been a hundred miles away, everything is not easy. You get scolded on the left, and you get scolded on the right. If you don't go left or right, you still get scolded!"

"Haha!" Zhang Shun couldn't help asking after hearing the cola, "Then what should you do?"

"Don't worry about him, but act with your heart, look up to the sky, bow to the ground, and be worthy of people!" Zhu Yixuan couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Okay, okay, well said!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but praised when he heard the words, "This is the way to be the pillar of the country!"

He never expected that Zhu Yixuan, as the clan of the Ming Dynasty, would be able to say such words.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but asked again: "Since taking office, I don't know what you have done?"

"It's nothing to do, but recruiting the people who fled because of Wang's rebellion, collecting taxes and other things!" After all, Zhu Yizheng took office in Lantian only half a year ago, and because Wang's collusion with Wang Pu and others rebelled, it was delayed for some time. Such a result is not bad.

"Well, not bad!" Zhang Shun nodded, and said again, "This time I'm here, apart from visiting you, I mainly want to see the situation of ordnance manufacturing."

"Oh, Zhang Sigong is currently in charge of this matter!" Zhu Yixuan responded immediately after hearing the words, "He is now casting artillery five miles outside the city, not in the city."

"If King Qin agrees, I am willing to accompany you to see the situation!"

"Success, then it's settled like this!" Zhang Shun smiled, shook his head secretly and said: You really have a solid eye!
If there is something tricky about the governor's card, you can lead me to make a surprise inspection, I'm afraid he won't be offended to death.

After the two made an agreement, Zhang dragged Zhu Yixuan and rushed all the way to the casting camp outside the city under the guard of Wang Jinyi and Wukong.

Five miles is not far away, and everyone arrived in front of them after riding horses for a short time.

Li Youxin's troops were stationed outside the foundry battalion, beware of idlers disturbing the cannon casting of the rebel army.

"Left!" Hearing Li You's order, the Tang soldiers under his command quickly waved the flag, and the three to five hundred soldiers in front of him turned to the left according to the order.

"Not bad, how is the training going?" Just then a voice came.

Li You turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness King Shun, why are you here?"

"Let me see how the artillery equipment is being made." Zhang Shunxu raised his hand and said.

"That's right, because Dudu Zhang is worried that someone will make trouble, and I hope I can send troops to guard it." Li You quickly explained.

"I thought that the garrison would not require too many manpower, so I allocated a division of personnel to rotate, and the others trained normally."

"Now the swords, guns, and arrows are all practiced proficiently, and the banners are also clearly understood. I have practiced three or four formations. If the military situation is urgent, I can already go to the battle to kill the enemy!"

"Not bad!" Zhang Shun nodded upon hearing this.

The source of soldiers in Shaanxi is quite good, and almost most of them have practiced martial arts.

After Li You came to Lantian, it took only three or four months from conscription to training.

From this point of view, it is not too far-fetched to expand the army by another [-] before the expedition next year.

"King Shun!" While several people were talking, the governor had already rushed over.

After the two were polite, Zhang Shun entered the camp under the guidance of Dudu Zhang.

The camp was very busy.

Some people were tinkling non-stop, forging weapons there; others were desperately pulling the bellows to blow up the fire;

"How about it, how many cannons have you made?" Zhang Shun asked.

"Thirty-four 'Great General Cannons' have been completed, and twenty-seven 'Feibiao Guns' have been completed, and fifty of them can be delivered to the North Route Army for training!" Dudu Zhang quickly responded.

"However, the consumption of gunpowder is astonishing every time it is fired. I have suggested using cannons to simulate and test firing small cannons to reduce consumption."

"Well, is there any difficulty?" Zhang Shun had previously ordered Dudu Zhang to build one hundred Qingtian General Cannons and sixty Feibiao Guns for this expedition.

At first glance, it sounds like there are not many cannons, but in fact, the "General Qingtian Cannon" weighs about [-] jin, and the "Fei Biao Gun" also weighs [-] jin. These two places alone consume more than [-] million jin of pig iron.

"This..." Zhang Dudu pondered for a while and said, "Fei Biao's blunderbuss is okay, there is a hydraulic forging hammer, just add more manpower."

"It's just that the [-]-jin Hongyi cannon consumes a lot of molten iron, and the raw materials are not available these days."

"Will it be finished in mid-March next year?" Zhang Shun frowned and asked.

He came here personally this time to check the situation and urge Dudu Zhang to complete the artillery mission as soon as possible.

"Almost!" Dudu Zhang reluctantly said, "Actually, the 'General Qingtian Cannon' is heavy and big, and it's not easy to transport. Why is King Shun so persistent?"

"If King Shun really wants to deal with Jiancheng, he can take iron and cast cannons in Shanxi after besieging the city."

"Shanxi blacksmiths and iron mines are a hundred times better than Lantian. If you can get Shanxi people and mines, the world's mighty city is not to be feared."

"At that time, the rebel army will not only be able to save a lot of manpower and material resources, but also build the city according to its size, without the risk of insufficient firepower."

"This is a way, but it can only be used as an alternative!" Zhang Shun nodded first when he heard the words, and then shook his head.

"You don't know the preset situation this time. We not only have to deal with the main force of Ming Dynasty, but also the main force of Houjin that may appear."

"Therefore, it is necessary to destroy the dead and the dead, and solve the city checkpoints along the road as soon as possible. Don't delay for too long, lest there will be changes if it is too late!"

"Houjin?" Dudu Zhang was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help asking, "Why did King Shun take such risks?"

Zhang Dudu previously participated in the case of Yuan Chonghuan in the capital, and had checked the original files of the Ming court, so he had a relatively clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Hou Jin army.

"This time we have prepared a large army. If the Hou Jin does not come, we will fight the Ming army, and if the Hou Jin comes, we will fight together!" Zhang Shun lowered his voice slightly.

"Two hundred thousand?" Dudu Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and asked tentatively with two fingers, but was taken aback by his own guess.

"How do you know?" Zhang Shun was also taken aback for a moment.

"The first battalion of the Rebel Army is equipped with ten cannons. Except for some captured from the Ming army, most of the cannons were cast and forged from me."

"Based on my estimation, it is possible to prepare hundreds of thousands of horses. If we add the officers and soldiers, I am afraid there will be more than [-] troops." Dudu Zhang couldn't help laughing.

Good guy, he really deserves to be a man from Jinyiwei, and he really has two brushes!

Zhang Shun couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that with such a large-scale mobilization of the rebel army, it would be difficult to hide it from the eyes of those who are interested.

That being the case, it should be false and true, and strategically deceive the enemy, so as to prevent Ming Dynasty from being prepared.

"That, that..." Dudu Zhang saw that no one was paying attention, so he tugged on Zhang Shun's sleeve and said in a low voice.

"Since King Shun has a plan in his mind, I'm too worried. Just in case, I'd like to ask King Shun to bring my sister with me when he goes out to fight. At least I can protect her well."

"Okay, I will add this when I ask Hong Chengchou to make a plan later!" Zhang Shun twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded in response.

At first glance, Dudu Zhang's proposal was well-founded, but in fact Zhang Shun understood what was going on.

It turned out that since Zhang Shun's last "hunting tour", the three daughters Hong Niangzi, Ma Yingniang and Wang Qiying have become pregnant successively, which immediately made others envious to death.

And that Zhang Fengyi is not young now, and her figure is not as slender as other women. How can Dudu Zhang not be in a hurry?
It just so happened that Zhang Shun was about to go to war, if his sister followed him.

At that time, she will be able to fight for King Shun during the day, and fight against King Shun at night, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!
