"The white baya soldier who was beheaded off by the general that day, the main guard of the red flag was full of Yan Fu Ersu, with a thick physique like a bear, wearing three layers of heavy armor, chain mail inside, iron valve armor and cotton armor outside, with a total weight of more than 80 catties. There are dozens of arrows in the body, but none of them can break the house! This man is still screaming and fighting! The sharp iron spear pierced its body, like a hard stone of medium cast iron. This man makes a sword, which is a sharp weapon for growth, and it is extremely sharp when cast, and it is inevitable when it is made. ”

"In the end, Ben Jiang struck his head with the barrel of an iron gun, smashed the iron helmet, smashed his head, and then put him to death." Dong Ce nodded at the soldiers, and his eyes were fixed on Xie Dingkun: "If you want to face him, why?" With these long knives? I'm afraid that if I cut it down, the knife will break! With these soldiers in cotton armor? It's not that I'm boasting, but my subordinate who spoke just now didn't cover his mouth a little, but he told the truth. He wore a thirty-five-pound iron scale armor and made a sledgehammer, and you people were killed at once. ”

Dong Ce patted Xie Dingkun's shoulder and said earnestly: "It's not a skill to beat a rogue guy. In the north of Jiannu, there are more than 1,000 Baibaya soldiers, tens of thousands of horse armor armor people, tens of thousands of foot armor armor people, and tens of thousands of cloth aha people. There were also 350,000 Han troops, tens of thousands of Mongol Tatars, hundreds of cannons, and thousands of Korean musketeers. Beat them, that's the skill! ”

After saying that, Xie Dingkun stood in place, and his face was red and white.

just entered the flower hall, in front of Liu Ruozai, Dong Ce was "one > book" to read the novel xstxt said respectfully: "My lord, this time the last general has recently selected eleven people to join, all of them used to be the military households of Xuanfu Town and Jizhen Town, and then because they couldn't live, they fled here because they couldn't live. These people are all strong horses, with hard bows, and at least three or five Tartar rogues under their hands! ”

Liu Ruozai nodded and said lightly: "With you and Xie Dingkun's subordinates, you should be worry-free." ”

He glanced at Dong Ce and asked lightly, "What's wrong with Tunpu?" ”

Although he seemed to be casual and didn't care, it seemed to be mentioned casually, but Dong Ce was keenly aware of his nervousness and expectation.

Being good at figuring out the leader's mind is also an indispensable officialdom knowledge, Dong Ce knew that Liu Ruozai valued and cared about it, so he naturally answered in more detail.

"It can already be said that it is beginning to take shape!" Dong Ce said: "Now about 600 people have been recruited, the food has been distributed, and the people have built residences. The last general bought a lot of ploughing cattle, divided the land and divided it, and now more than 7,000 acres of cultivated land have been reclaimed, and there is still a lot of cultivated land being reclaimed. The buildings in the old site of the rock fort have begun to be demolished, and the large wood, stone, bricks and tiles have been demolished for the construction of the new city. Before the end of the day, the first irrigation canal was built, the grain was distributed, and the cultivation began. The land around the Rock Fort is extremely fertile black soil, and there is no shortage of water, so I think there will be a great harvest in the coming year. ”

Dong Ce is also quite proud to say that in such a short period of time, in the same environment, there may not be anyone who can do better than him.

Liu Ruozai listened, and also showed a faint smile, and he was very satisfied. This Dong Ce doesn't talk big, but he is really a person who does practical things, quietly, this Tunpu already has some scale.

He advised: "The matter of organizing and training the new army must also be done by a good student." ”

"Yes!" Dong Ce just wanted to mention the affairs of his family, but suddenly his heart moved, and he held back.

People like Liu Ruozai value and fear military generals. Dong Ce knew very well in his heart that he could promote and reuse himself like this because he could help him consolidate his authority and make it a little easier for him to realize his political ideals, and he had so many families, which was already more than the quota, and if Liu Ruozai was jealous, I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.

I was pressed in my heart, but I still didn't say it after all.

"I've been running all the way, but I'm tired?" Liu Ruozai asked.

Dong Ce smiled: "This little distance is nothing. ”

"Are you all armed?" Liu Ruozai asked again.

Dong Ce was stunned, he said in his heart, Mo Mo is going to kill Hou Jiawei? Too hasty, right? Didn't tell me anything!

He said honestly: "The weapons and armor are all complete, but the ten new recruits don't have bows and arrows. ”

"Take them to get them!" Liu Ruozai waved his hand: "Everything that should be missing, I went to get it." Wait for the next road, I'm afraid it's tonight, I'll have to spend the night in Hongci Fort. ”

"Hongci Castle?" Dong Ce was surprised again in his heart, didn't he go to Zhenqiang Fort? Why did you change Hongci Fort again? Could it be that Hou Jiawei was lured to Hongci Fort?

It's unrealistic! How could a treacherous character like Hou Jiawei leave the nest lightly?

It's just that Liu Ruozai obviously didn't want to say more, and Dong Ce didn't dare to ask again, so he just responded and retired to make arrangements.

After leaving the Yamen, Shi Jin and others came up one after another, and Wang Hun asked with a grin: "Boss, where are we going now?" Maybe find a place to fill your stomach first, these times you haven't eaten, and you're hungry! ”

Dong Ce glared at him: "Is eating more important or is it more important to be a soldier?" ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, Dong Ce waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Go, lead you to get rich!" ”

Liu Ruozai's order is what is lacking - now Dong Ce's team can be said to be fully armored and weaponized, only lacking the bows and arrows of those new family members - but of course Dong Ce will not be so honest and only take this little thing.

The arsenal of North Hebei Province set up a warehouse ambassador, who was directly responsible to Liu Ruozai, and there were more than ten soldiers under him who were responsible for management. This ambassador is just a nine-rank official, the lowest level in the entire bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, but other officials have a low rank, this real power is very great, and I don't know how many benefits there are.

As the saying goes, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and it is not that they can get a lot of things from the arsenal with the slips approved by Liu Ruozai, first, it will be less, and second, they need to spend money to deal with the ambassador of the warehouse.

If you don't want to spend money or don't have money at all, that's it! Lord Liu gave you the strip and asked you to take something, but he didn't say when he would let you take it? It's just inconvenient on my side, I just can't open the door, anyway, there are thousands of reasons to drag it for you, if you can afford it, we will consume it!

But armaments and other things are urgently needed, where can they afford to delay?

Even if this confused lawsuit is fought in front of the officials in the end, one is that the officials protect each other, and the other is that they can't pull out any entanglement relationship, and it is often not resolved. But if you do this, you will offend this little official and a large number of people associated with him to death! If you want to get something again in the future, that's a fool's dream!

Therefore, the generals who know a little about things are honestly using money to eliminate disasters, and they will not have any disputes with such people.

When Dong Ce was a businessman in his previous life, he was not big with these officials, but he had real power in his hands, but you couldn't avoid the officials and officials he went to, and he had a lot of dealings, so he naturally knew what was difficult about it.

Although there were a lot of ordnance in the batch of materials that Liu Ruozai allocated to Dong Ce last time, they were all directly proposed by Ji Changfeng, and Dong Ce had never seen Ambassador Nacang.

He thought about it, but instead of going directly to the arsenal, he went outside the city and found Ji Changfeng.

At this time, Ji Changfeng is actually not very busy, and the purchase of food and other materials has been going on for a few days, and now it has basically entered the end. In order to rush back before dark, they basically set off early in the morning, arrived at noon, and left immediately after queuing for the handover.

Dong Ce found Ji Changfeng and said what he meant.

Ji Changfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Ambassador Zhao of the arsenal is indeed a difficult person to get along with, but in his place, I still have a little thin face." ”

He glanced at Dong Ce and said with a smile: "In this way, I will send a secretary to accompany Master Dong over, but it is just a matter of going up and down......"

Dong Ce understood and smiled lowly: "Naturally, it won't make it difficult for Master Ji." ”

Ji Changfeng nodded, recruited a secretary to come over, and asked him to go to the arsenal with Dong Ce.

"Master Ji, thank you!" Dong Ce smiled, arched his hand, and when he lowered his hand, a piece of silver was already in the palm of his hand and stuffed into Ji Changfeng's sleeve.

Although Ji Changfeng is quite appreciated by Liu Ruozai and is a little idealistic and naïve, he is not a fool, and he also clearly understands these things in the officialdom. This ingot of silver is about ten taels, for this amount, Ji Changfeng is still very satisfied, and secretly praises Lord Dong for being a man.

This is also the effect that Dong Ce wants.

Although he and Ji Changfeng have some affection because of Ji Changyun's relationship, this affection is light, and if you use it a few times and don't show it, the affection will be over.

So you have to maintain it.

The relationship between civil officials and civil officials is mostly formed through fellow villagers, the same year, the same teacher, etc., which is not only solid and stable, but also does not cost much money, as long as the number of courtesies is reached. But Wenwu has a different path, and the only way that Dong Ce can come up with in a short period of time to maintain a good relationship between himself and Ji Changfeng is just interests.

After a tea time, Dong Ce met the ambassador Zhao in the official room in front of the arsenal.

Ambassador Zhao has a very festive name, called Zhao Mancang.

His size seemed to prove that the name suited him well, about forty years old, tall and fat, white and long, with a large face and plate that looked like a full moon. He was wearing a man's coat, which was stretched tightly on his body, outlining the outlines of fat flesh, which made people worry about whether they would tear their clothes.

"Yo? How can a tall man have time to come to our boundary-breaking place today? Is the sun coming out in the west? Zhao Mancang greeted the Gao Shuban who brought Dong Ce with a smile, and as for Dong Ce, he didn't even look at it.
