Gu Yanwu ignored Sun Kewang's question, but said in a faint tone: "Students heard that General Sun has recruited a lot of soldiers recently!"

Sun Kewang stared at Gu Yanwu, "What do you mean by saying this now?"

Gu Yanwu said: "The Superintendent said that in this regard, he can provide you with some assistance to apologize."

Sun Kewang was stunned for a moment, "Aid, what kind of aid is it?"

Gu Yanwu took out a paper from his arms and presented it to Sun Kewang, "Three thousand long swords, two thousand pairs of armor, five thousand spears, and one hundred thousand taels of silver."

Sun Kewang looked at Gu Yanwu in disbelief, picked up the paper and looked carefully again and again, his face uncontrollable ecstasy, "Zhongqing, sit down, please sit down."

After Gu Yanwu sat down, Sun Kewang leaned over and said, "Zhongqing, these things..."

Gu Yanwu clasped his fists and said, "General, don't worry, all of these are placed in Sanyi Town at this moment. As long as the general let the two battalions of soldiers of our army cross the river, they can be transported to Fengyang at any time. The general will not suspect that my general will break your trust in you!"

Sun Kewang waved his hand, "I still believe in Zhou Xian's character, but there are still some things in it." As he said that, Sun Kewang took three shots on the paper.

Gu Yanwu asked in confusion: "What the general means isn't enough?"

Sun Kewang waved his hand with a smile, "I am not that greedy yet. I mean, Zhou Xian fired a gun last time. Can you give me some more?"

Seeing Gu Yanwu's face hesitation, Sun Kewang hurriedly said: "Don't give it to Zhou Xian for free, I can pay the money for it."

Gu Yanwu looked up and asked, "But I don't know how many shots General Sun wants?"

Sun Kewang saw Gu Yanwu's tone loose and smiled, "I don't want that 100,000 taels of silver. I bought one for fifty taels of silver and fired a gun. It only takes two thousand shots."

Gu Yanwu smiled bitterly and said, "Do you really don't know, or pretend not to know! The production cost of a gun shot is more than 30 taels of silver, which is not considered the wages of a craftsman. And if you have a gun, you have to equip you with gunpowder and projectiles! Any calculation is made, the production cost will exceed 60 taels of silver. After the student heard that the general got the gun shot, he recruited many craftsmen to imitate it. In theory, it should be very clear about these! And let the student ask, why don't you use those imitations?"

Sun Kewang smiled, he really couldn't say this.

He did recruit some craftsmen to imitate and fire the gun, and it actually made it.

But the problem is that the failure rate of these made fired guns is too high, and they often explode without a few shots being released, and the soldiers who make trouble don't dare to use them at all.

Although there will be problems with the firearms sent by Zhou Xian, they will all be fired after hundreds of shots, and the failure rate is very low.

After seeing the power of the gun being fired, Sun Kewang was desperate to get more. "Zhongqing, how many shots do you think you can give me?"

Gu Yanwu was silent for a while and said, "A thousand guns were fired, ten thousand kilograms of gunpowder, and each gun was equipped with twenty projectiles."

Sun Kewang said: "No gunpowder, no gunpowder, no projectiles." Sun Kewang could make gunpowder and projectiles by himself. Now he just wants more gunpowder.

Seeing Gu Yanwu's hesitation, Sun Kewang hurriedly said, "Zhongqing, no more. Zhou Xian was rude to me for doing such a thing this time. Now I have made concessions. You must not let me be embarrassed in front of my soldiers!"

Gu Yanwu sighed, patted his thighs hard, pretending to be very reluctant. "Okay! Then as the general said, five hundred shots were fired and delivered to the general within one month, and the remaining one thousand shots were delivered within three months."

After leaving Fengyang, Zhang Huai and Gu Yanwu walked together, "Mr. Gu, I'm just borrowing a way. How could I promise Sun Kewang so many good things? Many of our soldiers don't even have armor!"

Gu Yanwu curled the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly: "If you tell me the conditions given by the Supervisor to you, I'm afraid you will be so distressed that you can't even sleep. I won't say much about the rest. Just fire the gun, and the Supervisor promised to give Sun Kewang four thousand shots."

Zhang Huai grew up and said, "What, this..."

Gu Yanwu glanced at Zhang Huai, "Do you think you gave Sun Kewang so many things just to borrow a way? It's more about keeping Sun Kewang neutral next."

Seeing Zhang Huai's confusion, Gu Yanwu patiently explained: "Our army sent troops to Henan, both in terms of military strength and combat power, and it is not easy to win. If we still have to be distracted to deal with Sun Kewang at this time, it will be even more difficult. Use this thing to stabilize Sun Kewang, and do not harm our army. But Sun Kewang is a person who is capricious and takes profit first in everything. If our army cannot quickly stabilize the situation in southern Henan and give him the opportunity to make profits, he will probably still use force against our army. Let's go! We must quickly leave this place of failure and get along with Pei Guerrilla."

Guo Chen sent Ashan out of the city with a compliment, "General, the little thief is in trouble, you don't have to go there in person! If the official hadn't sprained his ankle and his actions remained unchanged, I really want to kill the thief with the general!"

Ashan glanced at Guo Chen, his eyes full of contempt, "Do you think our bannermen are like you Han people. You are greedy for life and fear death, and you leave everything to your subordinates."

Guo Chen quickly lowered his head, "The general is brave and fearless, so naturally we Han people cannot compare with each other. The subordinates can't help the adults, so they urgently prepared some meat pies for the soldiers to eat on the road."

Ashan nodded gently, expressing his satisfaction. "Okay, I will leave. When the Yancheng is recaptured and all the bandits are killed, I will come back immediately. During this period, you should defend the city well. If you have any mistakes, be careful of your dog's head."

After all the soldiers disappeared from sight, Guo Chen straightened his body and ordered loudly: "Close the four gates, strictly prevent the bandits, and prohibit anyone from leaving the city."

After saying that, Guo Chen climbed up to the top of the city, "Sir, everything is done as you told me."

Zhou Bin nodded and asked, "How many Qing troops are there in the city? Can you control them?"

Guo Chen said: "The two hundred Han soldiers in the north of the city followed Ashan, and they should resist. Most of the remaining soldiers were locals. As long as the leader did not resist, they would definitely not dare to resist. Most of the generals were their own people, so there would definitely be no problem."
