On the sixth day, Jiang Kui rushed to Shouchun with the Qilin Army, and the supplies, money and grain escorted by Long Bo also came one after another.

"Your Highness, the Qilin Army has been completely settled and has controlled the entire Shouchun. After this period of time, the entire army has been tempered to a certain extent.

The students recommended Wu Jue and Bi Jin as the commanders of the thousand commanders, in charge of the Qilin Army, these two have generals, and their cultivation has also reached the peak of the physical realm. ”

Jiang Kui reported to Zhao Shuyu, and walked in with the two of them at the same time.

"Minister Wu Jue to meet His Highness!"

"The minister Bijin greeted His Highness. ”

Zhao Shu looked at these two people, this Wu Jue was burly, but his face was elegant, and there was a trace of heroism all over his body.

This Bi Jin is shorter, his face is dark, but his eyes are shining.

"Today, I will officially canonize the two of you as the commander of the Qilin Army, each of you will be given a horizontal knife and a pair of battle armor, the Qilin Army has just been established, you two must work hard! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your reward!"

The two of them responded in unison, their eyes flashed with a thick light, the two of them came from Qinghe Villa, and they had been following Zhao Shu, and their loyalty was heavier than others, and they were even more happy to be rewarded at this time.

"Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, and Wang Gui, how is the training going?"

Zhao Shu looked at the three people, he had great expectations for these three people, and naturally asked at this time.

Hearing Zhao Shu's inquiry, the three of them immediately stepped forward to report.

"Your Highness, the Mo Dao team has been formed, and only sixteen people have been recruited at present, all of these people are tall, walking in human armor, holding Mo Dao, and they are formed, and their combat power is very high. He was prepared to continue recruiting some people in the army. ”

"Yes, if you can recruit a thousand people, I will make you a commander of thousands, and if there are ten thousand people, you will naturally be a commander of ten thousand. ”

Zhao Shu looked at Zhang Xian and laughed, this step is only a strong man in the army, and he has never been able to form an army, this Zhang Xian has found more than a dozen people, and it can be regarded as attentive.

"Report to Your Highness, there are already three hundred and sixty crossbowmen in the lowly Tang Huai, and when they go south, they will practice day and night, which is enough to fight!"

"Yes, there are many armies outside the city, although they are all rotten wood and cannot be created, if you can recruit a certain number of crossbowmen, the more the merrier!"

"Report to Your Highness, because of the horses, there are only more than thirty scouts, and there are already more than a dozen people exploring around!"

Wang Gui stepped forward to report, his face was cold and solemn.

"Yes, you are temporarily a scout, and if there are more in the future, you can be promoted to cavalry!"

Zhao Shu dialed the three of them one by one, making the three of them happy in their hearts, Fang felt that he was valued, and he was even more loyal in his heart.

"Longbo, there are tens of thousands of Xiang troops outside the city, and there are also Xiang troops rushing here one after another, I have a few ways here, first settle some of them, and then find a way. ”

As Zhao Shu spoke, he casually handed a fold to Long Bo and continued: "This is a standardized production method, each person is only responsible for a part, and finally assembles a complete ordnance.

Generals were formed around the city to serve as prisons, and in the future, we were to be as self-sufficient as we could in terms of arrows, armor, and other ordnance

In addition to the matter of this as a prisoner, there is enough coal around Huainan, and those Xiang troops are all sent to mine coal, which can be used as fuel for fire, and can also be used to smelt steel, which is the method of using coal. The surplus charcoal can be sold everywhere, and it will inevitably be like kerosene, which will be liked by the people.

If someone interferes, don't be polite, I want to see how powerful this Jianghuai Wenchen is. ”

At the end, Zhao Shu was full of murderous energy, and a thick domineering flashed in his eyes, which made the people around him feel uneasy.

"Your Highness, is this charcoal really so convenient?"

When Long Bo heard Zhao Shu's words, he couldn't help but ask.

This kerosene is left after refining from the fierce fire oil, it has been sold in Bianliang City in just a few months, and even began to spread around, many people like these cheap, convenient kerosene, especially ordinary people, they like this cheap kerosene even more, after all, the candle is too expensive, and it is too wasteful to ignite, except for the rich and noble, no one will often use it, and kerosene can be lit overnight.

It would be great if this charcoal was as convenient as this fierce fire oil, not only would it be able to make the army outside the city work, but also make a lot of money.

"Yes, this coal needs to be mined a lot, and I have some equipment here, which can be well matched with this coal. ”

Zhao Shu handed the drawings of the coal stove and other utensils prepared in advance to Long Bo and asked him to arrange them.

Seeing Zhao Shu's words and these drawings, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and their eyes at Zhao Shu were even more in awe, and they couldn't help but secretly say in their hearts, His Royal Highness really deserves the name of Tao Zhugong.

And Wei Dalong and others were even more shocked, they didn't expect His Highness to solve those cumbersome box troops by just means, and they also earned a lot of money and food in vain, so it seems that the more box troops arrive, His Highness will have more manpower, and his strength will also improve rapidly.

"Long Bo, I see that there are a lot of chickens and ducks near this Shouchun, these poultry animals can be killed for meat, and their down can be filled for clothing. ”

"In addition, this place is close to the Huai River, which can be fished, and it happens that the swim bladder is the material used to make zuò bows and arrows, so that those who can't fight the Xiang army can fish for self-sufficiency. At the same time, we will choose a suitable location on the Huai River to build a port, so that our fleet can come. ”

"Longbo, mobilize all the van troops, and the available people can also be transferred to the caravan, or you can form a new caravan, these people are all outcasts, and no one will care about them. ”

After Zhao Shu finished speaking, Long Bo immediately understood, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, you will definitely make good use of these van troops and keep these thieves busy." ”

Zhao Shu nodded, solved these Xiang troops, stabilized this Shouchun, and he could deal with the Fangla rebellion in Jiangnan with peace of mind.

"Jiang Kui, write a recital and ask the court for money, food, and ordnance!"

"Wang Gui, in the past few days, all the scouts have gone south to investigate, and a month later, the army will go south to quell the rebellion, and the generals must not slack off. ”

"No!"

Everyone listened to the order and agreed with a bang.

Hearing everyone's promise, Zhao Shu relaxed slightly, and the entire Shouchun was running at full strength, a part of the Xiang army selected to march into the stroke, a large number of Xiang troops arranged to mine coal, part of the city wall was built, and the money and grain prepared in advance were successively transported into Shouchun through the Guò Huai River.

In half a month, 2,280 heavily armed Qilin troops, led by Wu Jue and Bi Jin, advanced to Zhuzhen east of Shouchun, preparing to attack Yangzhou in the east and recover Yangzhou.

Zhang Xian and Tang Huai's soldiers were stationed in Shouchun with Zhao Shu, preparing to go south to quell the rebellion.

In the past half a month, Shouchun's qiē has been running in an orderly manner, but only a few hundred capable warriors have been selected by the 30,000 Xiang army, the rest are mining charcoal, and all the family members of the Xiang army are making military rations and sewing robes.

This allowed a large number of Xiang soldiers to have food, work to do, and food to take, and their hearts were stable, especially when they saw the heads in a row outside the city, they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Those van armies that came one after another were also gradually arranged, for these van armies, Zhao Shu's approach was to break up the arrangement, if the commanders of these van armies agreed, they would be placed around Huainan West Road as a recruiting envoy, if they violated, Zhao Shu was also unceremoniously killed.

The commanders of these Xiang armies were already unintended generals, especially those who were thrown to Shouchun by the civilian officials of Jianghuai as an outcast, at this time there was no backer at all, especially the civilian officials of the Jianghuai and Huai roads were disdainful of these military attachés of the Xiang Army, and they also ignored their deaths, even if some commanders had some relations, they did not dare to embarrass Zhao Shu, the prince and Jianghuai, to discuss and control the envoys, especially for the sake of the military people they despised in their eyes and the prince as enemies.

"Your Highness, the surroundings of Shouchun have been running in an orderly manner, coal mining has been started, and ordnance has been manufactured in large quantities. Many strong soldiers were escorted, and money, food, and supplies have been sent to Zhuzhen."

Long Bo reported Shouchun's condition.

"Your Highness, Zhuzhen has been controlled by us, you can rest assured, according to the information found by the scouts, 100,000 Manichaean rebels have occupied Yangzhou Mansion, after occupying Yangzhou Mansion, a Manichaean rebel army is besieging Gaoyou Town, as long as we defeat this rebellion, we can besiege Yangzhou, as long as we recover Yangzhou, we can use Yangzhou as the foundation, and cut off the Manichaean rebellion's attempt to go north with the Grand Canal as a route.

And we occupy a favorable position, entering the Grand Canal directly south, retreating into the land of Qingzhou, and slowly eroding the Mani rebellion. ”

Jiang Kui also reported the situation in Zhuzhen clearly, and at the same time pointed out the combat policy, this Mani rebellious army is powerful, among which there are many masters, and the soul monks are endless, with the strength of Zhao Shu and others, they can't fight hard, they can only be pressed little by little.

"Very good, Tong Guan has been named the Jianghuai Jingzhejiang pacification envoy, in charge of the government affairs and military affairs in Jiangnan, leading 200,000 elite Western Army to the south, a month later, Tong Guan will cross the Huai River, but my Qilin Army is not subject to this Tong Guan's control. ”

Zhao Shu nodded, put a piece of music in his hand on the table, and said meaningfully.

This made Jiang Kui and the others change their faces, they didn't expect this Tong Guan to arrive so quickly, let alone that this Tong Guan would lead so many soldiers, and the imperial court canonized Tong Guan as a Xuanfu envoy to lead the military and political affairs in Jiangnan, but he did not control the Qilin Army, which is intriguing.

"Gaoyou must be rescued within a month and Yangzhou must be occupied!"

Zhao Shu said coldly, only before the western army led by Tong Guan went south and occupied Yangzhou, he could show his strength and let the western army not dare to underestimate him.
