Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 334

[Chapter 334 Yanshan Gladiator]

“Your Highness, please rest assured about this matter. Now the craftsmen are proficient, and the number of flintlock guns produced every month is increasing.” Wang Ying cupped his hands.

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard the words, that’s right, as long as the craftsmen on the assembly line are proficient, the efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.

Then, accompanied by Wang Ying, Zhao Xu walked around Nanfang District.

In the past two months, hydraulic drilling machines seem to have increased by another fifty.

The stoves for blast furnaces and graphite crucibles have also increased a lot.

The iron mold casting cannon workshop is bustling with activity.

Apparently busy making a sales version of the gun.

Seeing that everything was running in order, he was satisfied.

The two were chatting as they walked, when a guard from Nanfang District came in and said, “Your Highness, please see Mrs. Zou Rong.”

“Zou Rong?” Zhao Xu was startled.

Last year he let Zou Rong be supervised to build a bastion in Wu’an County.

During this time, Zou Rong would send someone to send him the construction progress of the bastion from time to time.

Fast forward eight months now.

According to Zou Rong, the bastion has been roughly completed now.

In another three or four months, the soldiers of the palace will be able to move in.

“Let him in.” Zhao Xu said.

Since the construction of the bastion gradually came to an end, Zou Rong would occasionally come back to report to him about the bastion in person.

Not long after, under the guidance of the guards, Zou Rong walked in.

It’s just that it’s different from the past, Zou Rong now has a trace of worry on his face.

Seeing Zhao Xu, he saluted, and continued: “Your Highness, Beidi scouts have appeared more and more frequently during this period, and the number is also increasing. The most important thing is that they launched an attack on the bastion .”

“Beidi soldiers attacked the bastion?” Zhao Xu frowned.

Since the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, Beidi could not go to Yancheng through Yanshan.

But after the snow in the mountains completely melted in March, Beidi scouts appeared immediately, not only investigating the bastion, but also continuously attacking the soldiers guarding the bastion.

“Yes.” Zou Rongzheng nodded emphatically.

“Bei Di is really determined to kill me in the four northern counties. The battle of Jinzhou has just ended, and this will provoke a war again.” Although Wang Ying has always been concentrating on various skills, he still loves the four northern counties.

Zou Rong gritted his teeth and said: “That’s right, they attacked the bastion to enter the hinterland of Yanzhou.” The

three were talking.

At this time, another guard came to report to Yang He to see him.

Zhao Xu frowned even deeper, today it was Zou Rong first, then Yang He.

Generally, if there is no urgent matter, these two people will not come to the workshop area to look for him.

After waiting for a while, Yang He came in a hurry, his expression was similar to that of Zou Rong.

Seeing Zhao Xu, he bowed and said: “Your Highness, I have confirmed that Beidi is indeed developing artillery, and the missionary from the country of Ross who helped Beidi to develop artillery is the one.” Xu Ke looked solemn.

After a pause, he continued: “However, in order to find out this matter, a secret work bought by the Fourth Court in Jincheng was exposed. After passing the news to our people, he was arrested by Beidi soldiers. Our people hid After hiding for several days, they came back day and night to send back the information.”

“They hide like this, it seems that they want to catch us off guard, so they must be planning a big war.” Zhao Xu said .

Tsui Hark did not deny it, “Basically, they probably wanted to catch us off guard with cannons. Now that they know that they have been detected, they will naturally become angry.”

Zhao Xu snorted, but even so, he will strengthen the investigation of Beidi .

At the same time, the most important thing is to do a good job of defense.

Let Xu Hark go back, he called Zou Rong over.

The only loophole in Yan County now is the location of the bastion.

He needs to ensure that Beidi can no longer pass through the control range of the bastion.

Otherwise, as before, the raging Beidi cavalry will make him unable to concentrate and develop.

“Can the guns be placed in the emplacements of the bastion now?” he asked.

“Yes.” Zou Rong nodded, “The warehouses and barracks in the bastion that have not yet been built.”

Zhao Xu nodded upon hearing this, which means that the defense structure of the bastion is okay, so he can dispatch Soldiers were stationed in the past.

One side is stationed and the other side is built.

After asking about the Bastion, Zhao Xu left the workshop area and went straight to the Beidaying.

Tell Chang Wei about Beidi’s new trend.

“Fighting Xiliang, the last general has not had enough fun, this Beidi has come to the door again, just in time, let them taste the power of the flintlock gun.” Chang Wei said.

Seeing that Chang Wei was a little overconfident, Zhao Xu said at this time: “You may also taste the shells of Beidi people’s artillery.”

“Beidi people don’t have artillery…” After saying this, Chang Wei was suddenly stunned, “Your Highness, aren’t you here?” Are you kidding me?”

Zhao Xu shook his head, and told him the information Xu Hark had obtained.

Chang Wei’s expression suddenly became serious, “They really got shit luck, but what is this country of Ross, the last general has never heard of it.

” Explain slowly.” Zhao Xu said: “Now you should think about the bastion, choose soldiers, and go to station them.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei replied yes.

Zhao Xu continued: “At the same time, it’s not rude to come and go. The Beidi cavalry dared to cross Yanshan to attack our soldiers in Yan County. The cavalry of the palace can’t just watch it like this. Let them use these Beidi cavalry to practice their skills and use their courage. After training, the province will go to the battlefield in the future, and I will be afraid when I see the Beidi cavalry.”

Chang Wei scratched his head, silently feeling sorry for the cavalry.

This time they were facing real Beidi cavalry, not a target made of straw in the school yard.
