Chapter 332 Eunuch Li's Beating
In the quiet room in the back room of the Yunzhou Posthouse, Zhang Cheng's head was covered with cold sweat. This time he was going dangerously in the army, and he originally wanted to lie to the eunuch Li Guofu, the eunuch, to help him mobilize craftsmen and fine iron, but he never thought that he would be killed. This young eunuch was seen through.

Although Zhang Cheng's current personal power has gradually formed, even if the court wants to punish him, it is not as easy as before, but this period of time is also the key to Zhang Cheng's strength.

If some unnecessary troubles arise at this time, all previous efforts may be wasted. Although he can also lure the loyal soldiers under his command to go elsewhere, but at this time there are not many generals who completely return to themselves.

Moreover, everyone's interests have not yet been fully bound together. Even Zhang Cheng can't guarantee how many soldiers he can take away. You have to tie yourself tightly together.

Hearing Li Guofu calling him to get up, Zhang Cheng was also disturbed, he still knelt on the ground, and said softly: "Zhang Cheng is indeed serving the country with all his heart, his loyalty to the emperor is a lesson from heaven and earth, and he really dare not have any selfish distractions.

However, Zhang Cheng was also in a dilemma about the new army's blunderbuss. He tried his best and reached the point where he had nowhere to exert his strength. "

"Okay, let's get up and talk!"

Li Guofu tapped the tea table with his fingers, and continued: "Our family also saw your sincere heart towards the Holy One, so we didn't expose this matter in front of everyone. Do you really think our family is a mess?"

"Don't dare, Zhang Cheng dare not!"

"Hmph, let's do it this time. Our family obeyed the order of the sage. We came to Beilu to help you quickly form a new army so that we can serve the country. We didn't come here to trip you up. For doing this, don’t blame our family for being more vicious!”

Li Guofu used today's incident to reprimand Zhang Cheng, mainly because he wanted to beat Zhang Cheng before his personal strength was not very strong.

One is to warn him not to mess with his mind, and he must serve the emperor faithfully; the other is to make him dare not be arrogant even if he forms a little power in the future. I, Li Guofu, can see everything clearly.

This is the reasoning, but Li Guofu still underestimated Zhang Cheng a little bit, but this is no wonder Li Guofu, who would have thought that Zhang Cheng was actually a person from later generations?

The idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor is just a fart in his mind, but there is no shortage of loyal people in this era. As for whom they will be loyal to, it is hard to say!

Although Zhang Cheng didn't have much loyalty to Chongzhen, but in such a big environment, superficial articles still had to be done, and he had to do enough.

He heard the eunuch Li Guofu say so much, Zhang Cheng got up quickly, but he didn't sit back, he was still standing, he only heard him say tremblingly: "My father-in-law's eyes are like torches, and his holes are like thousands of miles away. Zhang Cheng has already worshiped you." , I will never dare to play such a clever trick in front of my father-in-law again."

Li Guofu took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Okay, even if this incident is over, our family has followed the order of the Lord Long Live to come to Beilu to help you quickly build a strong team, and we will still call in craftsmen and fine iron, but You have to serve the Lord Long Live loyally, so that you can train the new army well, but you dare not be lazy and play tricks."

"Zhang Cheng knows, please rest assured, Eunuch!"

"Our family is tired, and we want to rest, you go down."

"Zhang Cheng resigns!"

…………

Zhang Cheng withdrew from Li Guofu's quiet room and walked towards the quiet room on the other side. He shook his head while walking, with a wry smile on his face.

Lin Fangping stood outside the door of the quiet room prepared for Zhang Cheng by Lu Dachun, the postman. When he saw Zhang Cheng approaching from a distance, he took two steps to meet him and said, "The banquet will take a while, do you have any orders from the general?"

"Go, call Wei Zhice and Shi Tiegen to see me."

Lin Fangping responded and turned around to call for someone. Zhang Cheng walked into the quiet room. A pot of tea had already been brewed on the desk. He sat on the chair, poured himself a cup, and drank it.

After a while, Wei Zhice and Shi Tiegen came to the door, Zhang Cheng called them into the room, and Lin Fangping still stood outside the door to guard.

"Zhice, how many sergeants are there in Cheying?"

"Returning to General, Che Ying currently has 570 sergeants, 120 fast guns, [-] blunderbusses in stock, [-] waist knives, [-] spears, and [-] barges." Wei Zhice replied.

"Know the strategy, although the soldiers in the chariot battalion are the remaining sergeants selected from the cavalry battalions, they are still to be used as combat soldiers. deserted.

The general has ordered Wu Zhizhong to lead the team to the East Road, and even sent people to the West and South Roads to recruit soldiers. Your chariot battalion will have a battalion before the end of the year, and the first battalion of chariots must be fully equipped with soldiers. As for the chariot frame Prioritize the production of heavy vehicles.

The rogues are rampant now, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other thieves are harassing Huguang and Sichuan, they are bound to be even more aggressive in the coming year, and Li Zicheng is also ready to make a move, the war next year may be dealing with the rogues.

At that time, the imperial court will probably transfer me to fight against the rogues. Your car camp is where the entire army supplies, and it is necessary for the formation of battles. You must practice well and not be negligent. "

"Zhi Ce has written it down, please rest assured, General."

"Well, there is also Shi Tiegen. You also arrange some people to follow Wu Zhizhong to the East Road, or even the West Road and South Road, and recruit more craftsmen and workers. Those who were eliminated when he recruited braves are pure military households. Anyone can recruit Yunzhou to work, just pay the wages as usual, and it can alleviate the shortage of labor in the craftsman camp." Zhang Cheng instructed Shi Tiegen again.

He went on to say: "Shi Tiegen, I am giving you a task. You organize the research team of the Firearms Bureau to try to see if you can properly lengthen and thicken the barrel of the bird gun to make a big gun that is easy to carry. And it can shoot far and accurately.”

"Yes, General, I'll try it when I get back, but it's still useless."

"Well, if this kind of big blunderbuss can be made, it doesn't need too many shots. At most, it can be done with a hundred shots. Isn't there a man who is good at shooting in the Tartars and is called a god carving hand?
If we have such big guns, we will specially assign them to those who can shoot accurately. They are called sharpshooters, and they are specially designed to kill local generals from a long distance during battles. "

"Oh, by the way, there are also war horses and armor, so hurry up. Heavy cavalry should form an army as soon as possible. Rangers and assault cavalry can also use armor in stock. This heavy cavalry is used for battles, but the armor is one item. Don't be vague." Zhang Cheng instructed carefully.

"Remember, villain, as long as there is enough iron, the general will not be missed."

"Iron materials, there is no serious problem for the time being. The iron and silver mines on the North Road have already started to be mined. After more than a month, a certain person will transport all the iron materials stored by Liu Quan. It should be enough It has been used in Yunzhou for a while.

Moreover, Eunuch Li will transfer another batch of refined iron for us, so there is no need to worry about the iron material. "

At this time, Lin Fangping's voice came from outside the door: "General, the postman is here to call, the banquet is ready, and the general is invited to the table."
