Shen Mingzhu continued: "Our firearms shop is now short of some iron. The prince and I have sent people to search for iron ore, but it will take several months to find the iron ore and then mine it. The iron on hand now is enough.
It can last for one month. We need everyone’s help to meet the needs for the other months.”
Chu Ji scratched his head, "Princess, we can go to war, kill people and set fires, but I really don't know how to make iron. Please teach us."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said: "You don't know how to smelt iron, but you know how to fight. Moreover, this is a mission that kills three birds with one stone. It will be beneficial to you, the soldiers, and the people."
The two of them looked like they were all listening.
Xiao Xian seemed to have figured something out, he couldn't help but laugh and nodded frequently. This made the two of them even more curious.
Shen Mingzhu didn't hesitate and said: "It's very simple. You take people to suppress the bandits, wipe out all the bandits in Daizhou, confiscate all the iron tools, transport them back to Father Jiang for him to smelt again, and then use
When it comes to making firearms, I thought, this can solve the problem for a month. Then you can continue to suppress the bandits, and you can go to Shunzhou and other places, and you can solve the problem for another few months."
There are a lot of bandits in Shunzhou and other places, and they occupy strategic positions. When the imperial court sends people to fight them, they refuse to fight. When the imperial troops leave, they come out to harass the people again.
The people suffered greatly and were looking forward to someone to destroy them day and night.
If their people are gone now, it will be a great thing in line with public opinion.
Both Chu Ji and He Xingzhang thought it was feasible, especially Chu Ji, who had not fought in a few days and was in a panic.
"Hey, hey, I have to go back and talk to them to make them happy. The remaining princes and eldest ladies have made plans. Just tell me and I will follow the script."
He never likes to use his brain, he just likes others to set rules for him, and then he just follows the rules.
This is also a lesson learned. I didn't follow the rules before and broke Shen Mingzhu's rules. I was punished several times, but now I am honest.
If there is a battle and no reward is given to him, then he will be punished.
So he felt that this was a great opportunity and he had to perform well.
Shen Mingzhu said: "There are no rules this time. My only request is that our people should not die as much as possible. The victory must be overwhelming and frighten the enemy, and it is best for us not to lose a single soldier. Now you are practicing
It’s been so long, it’s time to go out and practice. This time you have to adapt to the times and local conditions, don’t be stubborn, and don’t be eager for quick success. You must be good at using your brain and have your own strategies.”
As she said this, she gave Chu Ji a meaningful look.
Chu Ji immediately felt silly and happy. He was really a little worried. Let him lead the troops to fight. Anyway, the commander-in-chief gave the order, so he just went to fight or defend.
What should we do now? Are we going to fight guerrillas on our own?
Chu Ji was a little dumbfounded. It was a good thing to ask his subordinates to see blood. If they haven't seen blood, it may not be effective if they go to the battlefield ten thousand times. After seeing blood once, they will be much bolder, at least not
Trembling in the face of danger, my mind went blank.
But, is this a test of his ability to lead troops?
He had no choice. After Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu left, he held He Xingzhang's arm and said, "Brother, this time, I have to help brother no matter what."
