June 27. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The weather in Qingzhou is getting hotter, but under the scorching sun, the transport team belonging to the Qingzhou Army is still busy.

Today, the convoy received an order from Niu Ben to transport flintlock pistols and ammunition from the military workshop to Yizhou, which was prepared for the attack on Pengzhou City.

The convoy was followed by thirty-six field guns, sixteen of which belonged to six-pounder field guns and twenty to siege field guns, and the artillerymen followed the artillery south under the drag of the horses.

On the Qingzhou wharf, three Galen warships also set sail south at this time, and the battle against Pengzhou City was in full swing.

"It's been more than a month, and I'm finally going to do it."

Lu Fei, who was standing at the bow of the ship, had a pleasant expression, he had been training all this time, and the days were boring, but now that the war was together, he finally came to his senses.

Luo Xin did not go with the artillery this time, and was also preparing to go south with the Galen ship, he said: "If Pengzhou City is captured this time, who do you say His Highness will hand over the military affairs of Pengzhou City?" ”

"What? What are your thoughts? Lu Fei squinted at Luo Xin.

Rolling his eyes, Luo Xin said: "Hehe, I knew you had this idea, don't worry, I won't fight with you, the land we will lay in the future is big." ”

"You can't fight for me, Your Highness has said that this time Pengzhou City will let me serve as the governor of Pengzhou, hehe, after following His Highness for so long, I am finally going to be promoted." Lu Fei was very emotional.

In the past three years, he has made a lot of meritorious contributions, committed a lot of crimes, and is still a lieutenant with ups and downs.

Originally, he didn't think about these things, but after the Chang'an Rebellion, every general of the Qingzhou Army had an idea in his heart.

Although Xiao Ming is not the emperor now, he is already the emperor in their hearts, and the only thing he lacks is the real power to unify the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Therefore, they are shouting one by one that they want to fight, and this expansion of territory is a great merit, and in the future, it will inevitably be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and their fame will be immortalized.

This time, he led the army to attack Pengzhou City, which envied many generals in the army, and stared at his command with red eyes one by one.

"Hmph, now when you are proud, let you beg me when there is a war." Luo Xin raised an eyebrow.

Lu Fei immediately grinned when he heard this, and he said: "Luo Xin, we have been born and died together for two years, and you can't hold back this time." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fei's afterglow suddenly saw someone walking towards him, he turned his face, but it was Xiao Ming who boarded the boat.

"Your Highness, are you going to Yizhou too?"

Lu Fei and Luo Xin walked towards Xiao Ming, a little excited between their words.

"Yes, this king is worried that you will cause trouble on the battlefield, and he is ready to go and supervise it himself." Xiao Ming said seemingly unintentionally.

Hearing this, Lu Fei said aggrievedly, "Your Highness, you are still not at ease with the last general. ”

Xiao Ming laughed at this time, and he said: "This king is just joking, Niu Dudu and this king said that you will not have a problem leading the troops alone now, this battle of Pengzhou is very important, this king specially came to see you and boost the morale of the soldiers." ”

Lu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, you can rest assured, you can't take the end of Pengzhou City to see you." ”

"Your head is too big, and this king still dislikes it as a night pot and has no place to put it, so you can keep it for yourself." Xiao Ming glared at Lu Fei, and this sentence had become a mantra for him.

This time, it was Luo Hong and other soldiers from the firearms battalion who flew with Lu, and the three battleships were filled with these soldiers.

Originally, Xiao Ming also wanted to go to Yizhou to supervise the war, but the information sent by Li San in the past two days was a bit complicated, and he needed to discuss it with Fiji and others.

Xiao Ming got on the battleship, which made the soldiers show an excited look, how could he have personally come to see him off when he went out in the past.

These soldiers from Chang'an had only heard that Xiao Ming was very friendly before, but now they saw that it was true.

After saying a few words to Lu Fei, Xiao Ming no longer paid attention to him, but successively got on three battleships to greet the soldiers, Xiao Ming's behavior made the soldiers more and more motivated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on the day of the destruction of Pengzhou City, this king will personally go to set up a celebration wine for all the soldiers." Facing a group of ordinary and lovely soldiers, Xiao Ming said loudly.

"My glory is loyalty!" The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army immediately shouted.

Luo Hong was stunned for a moment, and he also shouted: "My glory is loyalty!" ”

Looking at the soldiers with high morale, Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction, and he said to Lu Fei: "Let's go." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Fei responded.

After getting off the boat, Xiao Ming watched as the three warships set sail from the pier and gradually disappeared at the end of the river.

At this time, the figure of Fiji appeared behind Xiao Ming, and he also glanced at the distant battleship, and he said: "Your Highness, the envoy of the King of Chu said that the King of Chu is willing to form an alliance with us and divide the country equally in the future, I don't know what His Highness wants?" ”

The reason why Xiao Ming didn't go to Yizhou this time was because the envoy of the king of Chu, after he and the king of Wei completely collapsed, I don't know if the king of Chu got the news, or if the king had a plan, and an envoy from Chu arrived early this morning.

At that time, he was in the military workshop with Song Changping to deliver the flintlock pistol produced to the Qingzhou army, and after learning the news, he asked Fiji to contact the envoy of the king of Chu first.

"What do you think of the book in Fiji?" Xiao Ming said.

"Your Highness, the old minister said something that made His Royal Highness unhappy, in the past month, the old minister has been dealing with Pang Yukun to deal with the government affairs of the feudal country, in the opinion of the old minister, even if His Royal Highness has the advantage of muskets and artillery, he cannot dominate the country alone." Fiji said.

After a pause, he continued: "Judging from the account books, just steel, muskets, artillery, ammunition, and gunpowder will consume a huge amount of money, if it is not replenished in time, I am afraid that in the future, the soldiers will encounter the dilemma of having guns but no projectiles, and the reason for all this is because of the chaos in the world, the cutting off of trade routes, and the inability of all kinds of materials in Dayu to reach Qingzhou. Your Highness, don't forget the barbarians on the steppe, who have been watching Your Highness. ”

Fiji's meaning is already very clear, and he is not surprised at all that the king of Chu sent an envoy this time, because more than half of the artillery in the artillery trade between him and the king of Chu has not been delivered.

"What do you mean to continue to trade with the King of Chu?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Your Highness, those who achieve great things are not informal, if Your Highness wants to obtain the northern rivers and mountains, you must cooperate with the King of Chu, so that whether it is grain, grass, or ore, there will be a source, and Your Highness's goods will also have a place to sell, right?"

Xiao Ming nodded, I have to say that Fiji's words are very much in line with his mind, he really needs to have a stable place to sell goods, otherwise Qingzhou's industry will be finished.
