Chapter 165 The Lady of the White Lotus
"That's right. The students heard that Li Xinte likes firearms. If you can concentrate on making guns, Li Xin will definitely treat you as a guest of honor." Li Xin's eyes were shining brightly.

"To make cannons for Li Xin, do you want him to attack the court?" Sun Hejing snorted coldly.

"Shut up." Sun Yuanhua's complexion changed, and he gave Sun Hejing a vicious look, and Sun Hejing was so frightened that he dared not speak again.

"Mr. Sun is joking. Li Xin is the court's guerrilla general. How could he rebel against the court?" Li Xin looked at Sun Hejing deeply, and said with a smile, "He and Jian Nu are life and death enemies, and they only deal with Jian Nu. How can you deal with the court!"

"Hmph, you're not Li Xin, how can you know what he's thinking?" Sun Hejing said disdainfully.

"Master Sun is a rootless duckweed now. Neither Zhou Yanru nor Mr. Xu Guangqi can help Mr. Sun. Once the matter in Shandong is over and Kong Youde escapes from Shandong, it will be Mr. Sun who will go down to the university. In prison. Master Sun, I don’t know if I’m right?”

"You're right." Sun Yuanhua sighed, nodded, and said, "There must be someone in charge of Shandong affairs, and I, Sun Yuanhua, are the best candidate."

"In this way, besides relying on Li Xin, do you have any other options?" Li Xin said with a smile.It was unexpected for him to meet Sun Yuanhua here. Sun Yuanhua may not be a qualified politician, but he is definitely an excellent inventor.Although Li Xin doesn't like the current muskets and other weapons, he still likes cannons very much.Sun Yuanhua is a master at making artillery.How could Li Xin let it go.At this time, he could already see that Sun Yuanhua was hesitant.Just haven't spoken yet.

"Yunzhong Mansion used to be the place where Lin Danhan stayed. Although it is relatively close to the Central Plains, it is a frontier after all, and there will be no iron ore. Do you think that just smuggling some iron ore from the Central Plains can meet the demand for casting cannons?" Is it?" Sun Yuanhua shook his head and said disdainfully.

"That is naturally impossible." Li Xin shook his head without thinking, and said, "To cast a cannon requires thousands of catties, or even ten thousand catties of iron ore. It is obviously impossible to rely solely on smuggling. But , Although Guihua City is outside the Great Wall, it does not mean that there are no iron mines." Li Xin thought for a while, and took a branch from the side.Just drew on the ground.

Sun Yuanhua was curious, so he joined in and quickly shook his head.Li Xin clicked on the map with a smile, and said: "This is Xuan Mansion. Two hundred miles west of Zhangjiakou is Guihua City, and the place north of Guihua City is the Hetao area. Among them, there is a place called Baotou Village. There are a lot of iron ore buried in this place. I believe that according to Mr. Sun’s knowledge, this iron ore and coal mine will be found soon. Using these coal mines, It is easy to forge cannons from the iron that is burned."

Sun Yuanhua nodded. Although he didn't know why Li Xin was so sure that there must be iron ore and coal mines in this place, he still shook his head and said: "Even if there are a lot of iron ore and coal mines here, don't forget that casting artillery is not only These things are needed, and a large number of craftsmen are needed, don’t tell me, there are many craftsmen on the grasslands, these craftsmen may make some ironware, or bows, arrows, knives and guns, but it’s probably impossible to cast artillery.”

"That's natural. If you want to cast artillery, you need craftsmen, and you need very skilled craftsmen." Li Xin nodded, looked at Sun Yuanhua with a smile and said: "Master Sun is good at casting artillery, and I want to know every process of artillery. Everyone understands that as long as Mr. Sun writes out all these processes, and then hand over these processes and methods to these craftsmen. It is not required that these craftsmen are familiar with every process of casting artillery, each person only needs to know one key point. In this way As a result, one person smelts iron, one person makes models, and one person casts, etc., forming a flow-like operation. This will not only quickly cultivate a large number of craftsmen, but also speed up the speed of casting artillery, and more importantly, keep it secret. Sun What do adults think?"

"This, this is a good way." Sun Yuanhua's expression changed, and at this moment he had to admit that this was a good way for Li Xin.Not only can it speed up, but it can also keep it secret.

"Hmph, the young master said it was easy, but, how much silver is needed to cast each cannon, even if Li Xin attaches great importance to cannons, but my father is the magistrate sent by the court, how can Li Xin trust it?" Sun Hedou slightly Said in disbelief.

"Hehe, how to dispel Li Xin's suspicion, I believe Master Sun will be able to do it, even if Master Sun can't do it, Li Xin will help him do it." Li Xin looked at Sun Yuanhua with a smile, and said: "Sun What do you think sir?"

"With the son's words, Li Xin will definitely agree." Sun Yuanhua also laughed.But it made everyone around feel curious.Looking at the two curiously.

"That's natural." Li Xin glanced at Sun Yuanhua, knowing that this guy might have recognized him, and he generously admitted that he asked Zhang Wu to take the pen and ink and write a letter himself, explaining about Sun Yuanhua, and then After folding the letter, he handed it to Sun Yuanhua and said, "With this letter, sir, you can see Shi Yuanzhi, and he will help you."

"It's coming, I'm still looking for you!" Sun Yuanhua took it with a smile, and said, "Is your son going to Jiangnan?"

"That's right." Li Xin nodded and asked, "Do you have any orders, sir?"

"As soon as I left Beijing, I saw Uncle Tian leading a large team out of Beijing." Sun Yuanhua said pointedly.

"Are you leaving at this time?" Li Xin asked curiously.It was now February of the fifth year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and Tian Yunxiu actually set off only now, which is a miracle.Don't you know the word "soldiers are expensive and fast?"
"If it weren't for the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid this uncle of the country would have gone even later." Sun Yuanhua shook his head disdainfully. This was the case in the Ming Dynasty. With a character like Tian Yunxiu, how can he be undefeated.

"Thank you sir for your advice." Li Xin nodded, and said, "I was planning to go to the capital, but now it seems that I don't need it. I can just go to Jiangnan."

"There are white lotuses in Shandong, and bandits in Henan. You should be careful when you go." Sun Yuanhua shook his head with some sighs and said, "Everyone says that you are a hero in the world, but today, you can see that you are a hero."

"It's all about doing something and not doing it." Li Xin laughed loudly: "If I don't do some things, I will be unhappy for the rest of my life. What's more, the world is so big, who can stop me."

"Then Yuanhua wishes you a smooth journey, son." Sun Yuanhua was also touched by Li Xin, and said with a rare cup of hands.Li Xin laughed out loud, and the two exchanged their views on some firearms. Li Xin was also very curious about the knowledge Sun Yuanhua had mastered, and Li Xin's strange views surprised Sun Yuanhua and inspired him deeply. .

On the next day, Li Xin swung his whip and walked away, bypassing the capital from Changping and directly entering the boundary of Baoding.But he chased after Tian Yunxiu by land.

"Father, why are you so respectful to a young scholar?" Sun Heding asked curiously, "Is this letter he wrote useful?" What made Sun Heding curious was that Li Xin didn't take him away.

"He Ding, do you know who he is? Why did you take you away?" Sun Yuanhua was riding on the horse.Glancing at the three brothers, he said, "He is Li Xin, Li Xin, the commander of Yunzhong."

"He is Li Xin?" Sun and Ding said in surprise.

"If that wasn't the case, why did he take He Ding away? He wanted to be a hostage and tell me not to move around in the cloud." Sun Yuanhua shook his head and smiled wryly: "Actually, going to the cloud for my father is just a refuge. If he wants to kill his father, the court will be happy. However, Li Xin is Li Xin, who can personally lead the army south for Enyi. If this person can escape the disaster this time, he will definitely achieve great achievements in the future. Let's go, Let's go quickly, go to Yunzhong, let's go now." Sun Yuanhua's thin body burst out with a rare force, and led his family towards Guihua City.

Let’s talk about Li Xinfeng eating and sleeping in the open. Dozens of cavalry bypassed the capital and passed through Baoding. On this day, they came to Dezhou. Dezhou is close to the canal. It’s just that at this time, Kong Youde and others are rampant in Shandong. There is no second entry as recorded in history.The jewel of the canal in Texas has not suffered any damage.

"My lord, I have found out clearly that an imperial envoy passed by Dezhou yesterday." On the side of the canal, in a restaurant, Li Xin led several guards and sat on it. After a while, Zhang Wu came over and said softly .

"Are you sure it's that guy Tian Yunxiu?" Li Xin glanced around and said.

"It's that guy. I heard that Tian Yunxiu ransacked everywhere before he arrived, and made the officials along the way miserable." Zhang Wu said disdainfully.

"Since we are leaving tomorrow, it will be much easier. We just need to get ahead of them and get to Suzhou." Li Xin nodded, and he was relieved. Fortunately, it was Tian Yunxiu, otherwise If it was an ordinary minister, I am afraid that he would have left Beijing long ago and headed to Jiangnan.

"Vacuum hometown, no biological parents"

"The Holy Maiden descends, Bailian is reborn!"

At this time, bursts of slogans suddenly came from the street. Li Xin frowned and swept over, only to see a group of people, wearing yellow scarves, carrying a sedan chair. The sedan chair was covered with white gauze on all sides. It moved, and it was faintly visible that there was a woman inside, sitting in it.

"My lord, it's the White Lotus Sect." Zhang Wu said softly, "The White Lotus Sect has a lot of influence among the people, especially in Shandong, where many people respect the White Lotus Sect."

"White Lotus Sect? But there is a person from Xu Hongru?" Li Xin thought for a while, and remembered that among those things in the late Ming Dynasty, he had heard of Xu Hongru, who once led the White Lotus Sect uprising, but failed in the end.
