After rewarding and encouraging the craftsmen, Ling Yun left the scene.
On the way, Ling Yun suddenly stopped and said, "Yixiu, how is the training of Sanniu and the others?"
Guo Yixiu replied, "Master, they have learned what you taught them, but..."
Seeing him hesitating, Ling Yun said angrily, "If you have anything, just say it, no need to hesitate."
Guo Yixiu raised his head, glanced at Ling Yun, found that he was not angry, and then said relieved, "Yes, Master Yun. It's just that the subordinates are a little confused, saying that practicing those things is not very lethal, why do you still want them to practice?"
When Ling Yun heard it at first, he immediately understood the unintended meaning. There was no doubt in these words, it was clearly a complaint. It was just that Guo Yixiu was worried that he would be angry, so he said it tactfully.
So he said solemnly, "Tell them, don't underestimate those things. If you practice well, you can strengthen your body. You may be able to save your life at critical moments."
"Yes, Master Yun."
Within half a month, Ling Yun secretly recruited a group of people, numbering about 300 people. Some of them were from Nangong Zheng Escort Bureau, some were from Zhang Wu, and the rest were people he used to recruit guards.
Name, recruited.
Because it was in the name of recruiting guards, most of the people who came were martial arts practitioners, so they complained about his arrangement.
This matter has to start from half a month ago. When he knew what Tujiapu had done, he decided to deal with them and let them know that it was a huge mistake to attack him.
Furthermore, he vaguely felt that Yang Buwei was hiding in Tujia Fort, otherwise he would not have been able to find any trace during this period.
As for the three hundred people under him, Ling Yun intended to train them to become his confidants and special forces... Therefore, he taught future generations many methods of training special forces, such as running, horizontal and parallel bars, etc.
Of course, it may be that the group of martial arts practitioners look down on this kind of training method and often show dissatisfaction during training, but they dare not tell him directly. For this reason, they can only hint to Guo Yixiu and ask him to propose it before his years ago.
Hence the scene just now.
Ling Yun then said, "By the way, go to the weapons depot, assassinate the Mitsubishi Army, and let them train hard. When the capital city nods, there will be a life and death battle waiting for them."
"Yes, Master Yun."
Guo Yixiu was overjoyed and immediately accepted the order. Without waiting for Ling Yun to signal him to retreat, he rushed directly to the weapons depot, which showed that he was impatient.
There are only two reasons why Guo Yixiu is happy. One is that as a soldier, he naturally wants to go into battle to kill the enemy and has repeatedly achieved military exploits. The other is the Mitsubishi Army Assassin mentioned by Ling Yun.
The Mitsubishi Army Spur is naturally a product of later generations. It can produce unexpected effects in close combat on the battlefield.
This is because if the enemy is stabbed by the Mitsubishi Army Thorn, the ancient medical conditions would not have time to stop the bleeding. Therefore, the Mitsubishi Army Thorn is a powerful weapon in close combat and can deliver an unexpected fatal blow to the enemy.
In the past half month, Ling Yun had almost no rest. He had been thinking about magic weapons and how to deal a fatal blow to Tujia Fort at the lowest cost.
If possible, he would not mind completely surrendering Tujia Fort and making it truly the territory of Daqian.
Since he did not have an army under his command, he did not dare to recruit troops privately, otherwise he would be captured by Lingnan Governor Wang Mingzhi for rebellion before the fight started.
This is why he sent a memorial back to the capital in advance, explaining the situation and requesting troops for support. As long as Emperor Qianxi saw his memorial, there was a high probability that he would agree with his proposition.
In fact, Ling Yun has been thinking about a weapon of mass destruction during this period, which is gunpowder to end cold weapons. If gunpowder can be produced, it can be invincible whether it is used to attack cities or in jungles and mountains.
The main ingredients of gunpowder are saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal. Most of the gunpowder produced is black or brown. When formed, sparks, flames, etc. can be used to assist combustion.
If saltpeter and sulfur can be found, the production of gunpowder will be just around the corner. Unfortunately, during this period, Ling Yun sent people to search, but no news was obtained.
"Hahaha...I know, I finally know."
Suddenly, Ling Yun was startled and laughed loudly.
As for the reason why he laughed so loudly, he thought of the place where gunpowder can be made, that is, the alchemist. As long as he finds the alchemist, he can find saltpeter, sulfur and other materials for making gunpowder.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun was extremely excited. As long as he could find an alchemist and have gunpowder materials and test them, he could make gunpowder.
When the time comes, let alone Tujia Fort, even if the Nanyue King of Jiaozhi comes, he will still have a way to cause heavy losses and return in defeat.
The most urgent task is to find an alchemist, and most of the alchemists come from Taoism. They are called Taoist alchemists in history, and they are also called alchemy priests.
It's just unclear whether there are Taoists in Nanyi Prefecture. What's more, alchemists are a high-risk profession. Even if there are Taoists, there may not be alchemists.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun felt depressed and depressed.
His desire to make gunpowder was endless, and even if he could not find the corresponding materials in a short time, he could not give up the search, so he ordered to go down and search for saltpeter and sulfur at a high price, as well as alchemists.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and there was still no news.
In the end, it was concluded that it was not that no one wanted to make money, but that they did not understand what saltpeter and sulfur were, let alone alchemists. They were all elusive figures that were difficult to see on a daily basis.
If he were in the capital, Ling Yun would definitely know where to look, because there would definitely be an alchemist in the palace, and even if there weren't, it would be easy to find saltpeter and sulfur in the bustling capital.
Of course, if he really wanted it, he could just send someone out to look for it, but his demand was huge and the supply exceeded the demand. Just a little bit wouldn't be enough to form a combat force.
Ling Yun looked up at the sky and murmured to himself, "It would be great if there were saltpetre and sulfur ore."
yes!
If there are saltpetre and sulfur ore, why worry about not being able to make gunpowder and revenge.
Just when Ling Yun was depressed, the memorial he sent finally arrived in the imperial city and in the hands of Li Chengyou in the Li Mansion.
If you want to deliver the memorial to Emperor Qianxi, you can only rely on Li Chengyou to deliver it, otherwise it may be thrown into that trash can if it goes to other places.
It is said that when Li Chengyou received his letter, he was particularly excited and happy. But when he opened the envelope and saw the first half of the letter, he smiled even more brightly, thinking that Ling Yun, this kid, could actually get rid of the local bandits. , and fellow bullies.
But the good times didn't last long. When he read the second half of the content, his face instantly dropped, and a gloomy mood enveloped him. It lingered for a long time. After reading the entire content, his face turned livid.
He cursed Ling Yun several times for being lawless and misbehaving, and even wanted to attack Tujia Fort. But in the end, he couldn't help but put on his clothes, took Ling Yun's letter and memorial, and went to the palace to see him.
