Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 246 Internal Guard Missions and Military Industry

The entire war machine in Longyou was activated, and even Li Yan, who built this machine, did not expect this machine to be so efficient.

The first thing to start is the inner guard.

All inner guard players have received a full server mission.

[Hexi Jiedu envoy Fang Guan, made friends with Tubo, conspired with Zhangye, and all the internal guards sneaked into Wuwei City. 】

[Mission Objective 1: Infiltrate Wuwei City and find an opportunity to capture Wuwei City. 】

[Mission Objective 2: Find out the city defense layout of Wuwei City, and instigate rebellion against the officers stationed in Wuwei. 】

[Mission Objective 3: Fang Guan really fell to Tubo, assassinate Fang Guan, create chaos, and assist the army to capture Wuwei City! 】

Seeing this task, the internal guard players began to gather in Wuwei City.

Those players who are far away from Wuwei City can only look at the ocean and sigh. The large-scale missions in the game Datang Fengyun are all time-limited. When they arrive in Wuwei, the missions may have already been completed.

The most excited one was Xue Hu who had sneaked into the Jiedu Ambassador's mansion.

Xue Hu had already been lurking in Jiedu's mansion, and he would often peek at Fang Guan's letters while cleaning the study.

Xue Hu overheard the conversation between Fang Guan and his staff member Chu Zhuang last time, and reported the information.

After Chu Zhuang proposed that Fang Guan negotiate with Tubo, Fang Guan's attitude was ambiguous and he did not comment.

Later, Chu Zhuang came to persuade him several times, but Fang Guan still didn't make up his mind.

This is also normal, Fang Guan's character is inherently indecisive, if the news of surrendering to Tubo spreads, it is an unforgivable crime of treason, not only Fang Guan himself, but also his family will be implicated.

Although Chu Zhuang repeatedly stated that what Fang Guan had to do was to shrink his troops to garrison Wuwei City, and the Tubo people would fight the dog of King Jianning at that time.

But Fang Guan is not so naive, he completely believes in the nonsense of the Tibetans.

The problem now is to appease the Chishui army. Fang Guan was forced to do nothing, so he had to call the wealthy households in the city and ask them to pay another sum of money to help the army.

Now the wealthy households in Wuwei City are even more unhappy. The money for changing the horse to a mulberry last time has not been refunded, so why do they have to pay again now?

What about the fields where horses are changed to mulberry?

The tax collectors in the yamen went around, but in the end they only collected less than [-] yuan.

This little money was used to reward the Chishui Army, and it was not enough for the officers to grit their teeth.

He had no choice but to find the military leader, first to reward the money, and then he made the idea of ​​the past businessman.

The local rich and powerful families are all powerful and powerful families who have taken root in Liangzhou for many years, and there is nothing they can do if they refuse to pledge donations.

But the merchants who come and go are rich!

Thinking of this, Fang Guan's thoughts changed.

Hu Bayi, who was rushing to Wuwei, didn't know what kind of trap he was falling into.

Leaving Jiuquan City, Hubayi bought more than a dozen bolts of cotton cloth dyed with Jiuquan indigo.

Hubayi was planning to return to Gaochang, but the caravan was not yet full of goods. After thinking about it, he continued eastward to Wuwei.

Wuwei is the entrance to Hexi, and the silk merchants in the Central Plains will leave after delivering their goods to Wuwei, so Wuwei is also the starting point of Longyou silk trade.

Now Dashi and Byzantine merchants are buying silk like crazy, and a piece of silk can be doubled as long as it is shipped to Gaochang.

Still unable to bear the temptation, Hubayi led the caravan to the east and passed through Zhangye to Wuwei City.

Caravans continued to enter Wuwei City, and the internal guard players who were mixed in the caravan also entered the city one after another.

Xue Hu simply set up a forum on the forum, and pulled a local Wuwei internal guard channel to communicate with each other and discuss how to complete the task.

After completing the work of the Jiedu Mission, Xue Hu immediately opened the local chat channel.

There are already 30 people in the channel, and these are all internal guard players from the eastern part of Longyou. After receiving the mission, they rushed to Wuwei City without stopping.

Including the players who are still on the road, it is estimated that there will be fifty inner guards performing tasks in Wuwei.

A new function has just been added to Neiwei's chat channel. Xue Hu gave himself a code name and started chatting anonymously.

"Brothers, I am the first inner guard to lurk in Fangguan's mansion, codenamed Huzi! Welcome to Wuwei!"

"Boss! The Wuwei mission chain this time was triggered by the boss, right? The boss is awesome!"

"Boss is awesome! Brothers will follow you!"

"Boss, hurry up and start the task? Do you want to kill Fang Guan first? At least finish a task first?"

Xue Hu immediately said: "Don't kill Fang Guan first, have you studied the mission?"

Everyone in the chat room shook their heads.

Xue Hu said: "The difficulty of the three tasks this time is reduced in order. The first task is to capture Wuwei City. We have so few internal guards, but Wuwei has [-] Chishui troops. It is up to us to capture Wuwei City. It is an impossible task. But once the task is completed, the reward must be the most lucrative.”

Many internal guard players nodded one after another. Xue Hu's analysis was correct, the first task is the most difficult to complete.

"The second task is to steal the city defense map and instigate against the officers of the Chishui Army. This task is considered to be of medium difficulty. Now that the Chishui Army's barracks is outside the city, the city defense map should be in the hands of the Chishui Army striker Luo An, who wants to sneak into the barracks to steal it." The city defense map will definitely instigate some officers of the Chishui Army."

All the players nodded in agreement, Xue Hu's analysis was clear.

"The easiest task is the third task. I'm in the Governor's Mansion right now. I can kill Fang Guan if I risk my life. But if Fang Guan dies, Wuwei City will definitely be in chaos. What about the first two tasks? Finish?"

Many internal defenders suddenly realized and agreed with Xue Hu's analysis.

After some speeches, Xue Hu finally established prestige among the group of inner guards, and he was elected as the team leader by the group of players.

Xue Hu delivered a short inauguration speech, and he continued: "This mission is divided into three goals: upper, middle and lower. At present, it seems that we should complete the middle goal first, which is to steal the goal of the city defense map, and strive to complete the second goal. One goal, if you can't complete the two goals in the end, then kill Fang Guan, so that you can save your capital!"

"The team leader is wise!"

"This method is good. Let's clear the second mission first, get the city defense map and then do the first mission!"

"Then let that old guy Fang Guan live for a few more days, everyone act quickly!"

All of a sudden, the inner guard players showed their talents and began to think of ways to make friends with the officers of the Chishui Army.

The players in Wuwei City took action, and Yu Chixin of Zhangye City also began to secretly assemble troops, mobilize supplies, and prepare for battle.

After King Jianning's order was sent to the barracks of the Doulu Army in Shazhou and the Moli Army in Shazhou, King Jianning dispatched several capture and guard houses to defend the Uyghurs in the north, as well as the Yumen Army and Baowen Mountain. Capture the soldiers and horses guarding the mansion, and march secretly to Zhangye.

At the same time, Li Yan sent a mission to all the merchants and players to transfer military supplies and food to Zhangye.

The blacksmith workshop of the Dashuixia Iron Works was also hammering steel hammers day and night, and the newly manufactured weapons and armor were sent to the front line.

At this time, in the Cannon Foundry, Jian Xia, a player of Baigong, is checking the newly produced cannons.

Inspecting the workshop with Jian Xia was Cui Ruoyun, a female official from the Bafu who came from Shazhou.

"Xia Xia, I heard that you found a heat-resistant alloy? Solved the problem of cooling the gun body?"

Jian Xia said indifferently: "It's just that the bombing rate is 50.00% lower than before, but continuous shelling still has the risk of bombing."

"This is also very powerful! Can it be used on the barrel of a gun?" Cui Ruoyun asked immediately.

During this period, Cui Ruoyun moved the laboratory to the vicinity of the Dashuixia Iron Works, and she and Jian Xia worked together to research and manufacture guns.

Today, the cannon casting workshop in Dashuixia has produced nearly [-] cannons, but there are many places that need cannons, and only [-] cannons were transported to Zhangye in the end.

But now the artillery manufactured by the Cannon Factory only has front-loading guns that fire solid shells and shotguns that shoot close-range damage.

Because of the failure to develop gunpowder-filled grenade, the long-range lethality of these artillery is not strong.

However, grenade technology requires fuses and more advanced gunpowder, and Cui Ruoyun has not made any progress yet.

Since the howitzer could not be made, the players turned their attention to muskets and grenades.

Jian Xia shook her head and said: "This kind of alloy is fine for gun barrels, but it's not enough for gun barrels. You also know that making guns is much more difficult than making guns."

Cui Ruoyun also nodded. What players need is a modern rifle that can shoot continuously, not an arquebus that burns the rope behind the gun.

Jian Xia asked in turn: "How is your gunpowder research going? Don't keep staring at my gun barrel!"

Cui Ruoyun shook her head and said, "It's so easy. The laboratory can't do organic chemistry experiments today, let alone make explosives, even urea can't be made."

Jian Xia asked: "Didn't you just get a batch of new experimental equipment? I heard that the glass workshop had been busy with manual work for a month before they could gather a complete set of experimental equipment."

Cui Ruoyun shook her head and said, "What's the use of just having experimental equipment? If you don't have the main raw material, you don't have phenol, the most important raw material in organic chemistry. Those organic chemistry experiments can't be done."

Jian Xia also nodded and said: "That's right, phenol should be extracted from oil, no wonder oil is the blood of organic chemistry, but I heard that some players have gone to the Taklamakan Desert to find oil fields!"

Cui Ruoyun smiled and said, "It's not so easy. The Taklamakan Oilfield is not a shallow oilfield. I hope they can produce oil sooner."

Cui Ruoyun changed the subject and said: "Guns and cannons can't be helped. How is the grenade? My younger brother has been urging for grenades every day when he arrived in Zhangye. Your workshop should have been built, right?"

Jian Xia took Cui Ruoyun out of the gun barrel workshop, and came to a workshop with stricter security.

I can only see that in this workshop, workers are sitting on the edge of the assembly line, filling gunpowder into the cast grenade shells and installing wooden handles.

Jian Xia brought Jian Xia to the warehouse, pointed to the grenades piled on the shelf and said:
"One thousand pieces, all packed, and can be transferred to Zhangye City today."
