Chen Wanrong knew that he was so happy and smiled and said, "Mr. Yang is so serious, but he is so serious."

Yang Sixu smiled and said with a serious look on his face: "Mr. Chen, Yang has something to say."

Chen Wanrong knew him and knew that he was a public person. He looked like he was about to talk about official business. He also smiled: "Mr. Yang has something to say, I can do it and I will do my best."

"Actually, this is not a big deal, it's just an hindrance to Lord Chen." Yang Sixu talked about the serious matter: "The prince has an order. From today on, Mr. Chen will be responsible for the protection of Lord Chen. If there is any inconvenience, please forgive me."

Yang Sixu is extremely talented, proficient in military tactics, and is good at changing ambitions. In the current complex situation, it is indeed better for him to be responsible for protecting Chen Wanrong, but Chen Wanrong can't afford it: "Mr. Yang, this is not very good. I am not as good as you, so how dare I work for Lord Yang."

"Mr. Yang, this is wrong. The rank of the rank is nothing. What is important is the contribution to the court." Yang Sixu said seriously: "With the importance of Lord Chen to the court, it is a great honor for Yang Sixu to take on this important task."

He is an important figure around Li Longji. Li Longji sent him to take charge of Chen Wanrong's safety, which shows that Chen Wanrong's weight in the prince's mind is quite good. Although this matter is happy, it is a bit difficult to bear. Chen Wanrong thought about it and had to follow it: "Since that's the case, then Lord Yang will be fine."

Yang Sixu smiled and said, "I dare not say that I have any work, this is my duty."

Since then, Yang Sixu, the eunuch who started his military achievements in history, became Chen Wanrong's guard captain. Thinking about the achievements of Yang Sixu, especially when he suddenly appeared in Annan along the way of the famous Eastern Han general Fubo and Ma Yuan, who was famous tortured Mei Xuancheng's rebellion in one fell swoop. Chen Wanrong was a little dizzy.

Chen Wanrong asked, "Sir Yang, I have people from the escort agency here. Do you want to see the following?"

Yang Sixu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay. Guarding is very important. Even if Lord Chen doesn't say it, I will see you."

Chen Wanrong ordered, and soon, Shao Dagui led the people from the escort agency to come over. Chen Wanrong said, "Shao Boss, this is Lord Yang Sixu, who is running around in the East Palace. Now, Lord Yang is here to be responsible for the dispatch of the prince. I wonder if you are willing to obey Lord Yang's general order?"

This is to tell Shao Dagui and the others that it is best to obey Yang Sixu's orders. Shao Dagui and others have been in Chang'an for a long time, so they are not sure about Yang Sixu's status in the Eastern Palace. The prince even sent him out. It can be seen that he attaches importance to Chen Wanrong and does not want to obey his orders.

If he does not obey the order, it is tantamount to a grudge with Yang Sixu. In the future, the prince ascended the throne. Yang Sixu will definitely be a capable general. If he wants to make things difficult for Yanwei Escort Agency, even if there are some in the court, it will be difficult to deal with. Shao Dagui and Wu Tianxing looked at each other and nodded slightly. Shao Dagui said, "I wish to listen to Lord Yang's order."

Yang Sixu clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, Yang Sixu thanked you all here."

"I dare not take it!" Shao Dagui and the other two returned the greeting.

Yang Sixu did not say anything extra, and went straight to the topic: "Yang has already understood what you did here. You have protected the Chen Mansion and admired it. However, this is not enough. Yang explained here that if there are thieves invading in the future, they must do their best during the fight and do not retreat. Violators will be killed!"

The courageous rush to kill was the wish of Shao Dagui and others, and there was nothing to say. Just the word "slash", there was an amazing force, which made Shao Dagui and others who were licking blood on the edge of the knife frown. However, they did not dare to disobey, so they could only say, "Mr. Yang, please rest assured, we have an irreconcilable hatred with the Crescent Sect."

Yang Sixu was unmoved and continued, "Yang already knows the hatred between you and the Crescent Sect. No matter how much hatred you and the Crescent Sect have, you must act according to my orders. Violators will be engaged in military law!"

The escort agency also has organization and rules, but it is far behind the strict military law. Although Shao Dagui and others were unwilling to do so, they did not dare to disobey and had to obey.

Yang Sixu glanced at everyone and said, "But you don't have to worry. Those who have made meritorious killing the enemy will be rewarded according to military merits. Those who have lost their lives will be dealt with according to military merits."

It was impossible for those who were escorting to achieve military merits. Unexpectedly, this opportunity was dropped out of thin air. Shao Dagui and the others were naturally happy, responded in unison and thanked repeatedly.

Yang Sixu continued: "I know, you darters, your favorite thing is to fight alone. You think that you can kill more enemies with great martial arts. I want to tell you, you are wrong! If you encounter the same number of troops, you will easily defeat or even annihilate them. Do you know what the reason is?"

Shao Dagui felt something was wrong and asked carefully: "Please tell me if you want to tell me."

"The reason is that you are fighting alone, without coordination, without cooperation, and without organization. And your shortcomings are precisely the strengths of the army." Yang Sixu's voice was much higher, more sharp and a little harsh: "In terms of fighting ability, the army is not as good as you. But the threat of the army is stronger than you, because the army has a good organization, cooperation, coordination, command, and concentrate the strength and use it, without being dispersed like you. Therefore, from today on, you will receive training under my command."

With a wave of his hand, a soldier ran over, and Yang Sixu said to him: "You, from now on, are responsible for training them. You must have better cooperation and coordination."

Shao Dagui's face looked ugly: "Mr. Yang, we are an escort agency, not an army."

Yang Sixu's eyes suddenly became bright and he stared at Shao Dagui: "Shao Pest Head, if you want to stay here, you have to obey my order. If you don't want to stay here, then quit now and return to your Yanwei Escort Agency."

Chen Wanrong saw it and thought that Yang Sixu was really powerful. He was born with a general with military command ability and was more admirable. Later generations criticized Li Longji for using Yang Sixu for saying that he was an eunuch with a bad background, which set a precedent for eunuchs to disrupt the country. In fact, this was a misunderstanding of later generations. Although Yang Sixu was an eunuch, he started his career with military merits.

Shao Dagui looked at Wu Tianxing, and Wu Tianxing looked helpless. There was no way, Shao Dagui had to look at Chen Wanrong and ask for help from Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong was not easy to intervene in this matter. Besides, Yang Sixu's words were not wrong. The escort agency relied on personal martial arts, not coordination and cooperation. Letting them receive training will only benefit and harm them.

Yang Sixu's right hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he was about to get angry. Chen Wanrong spoke at the right time: "Shao Pao Head, Wu Pao Head, Lord Yang's words are not unreasonable. You lick blood on the edge of the knife, you should know the importance of coordination and cooperation. Maybe you can learn this skill and you will have fewer casualties in the future."

The meaning was already clear without explicitly supporting Yang Sixu. Shao Dagui and the others were unwilling to do so, but under Yang Sixu's high pressure, they had to accept it and had to say, "Abide by the order!"

Yang Sixu was a character with a hard-eyed look on his face and said another harsh words: "You all remember that those who violate the order, no matter who they are, will beat thirty military sticks!"

This was obviously targeting Shao Dagui and Wu Tianxing. They had nothing to do with them, so they just followed the soldiers.

Sima Chengzhen smiled and said, "Shao Pao Head, Wu Pao Head, let's go, I will experience it with you." He was afraid that Shao Dagui and Wu Tianxing would have a bad time, so he just took the lead.

His status is very high, even Ruizong is very respectful to him. Yang Sixu is brave and dare not train him. He hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master, you must not do it!"

Sima Chengzhen smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, you are right. We people in the world just cannot cooperate well. This is the formation and that formation. How can the army cooperate well? I will learn it."

Of course, Yang Sixu understood his thoughts and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master." He let go.

With Sima Chengzhen, who was transcendent and out of the world, Shao Dagui and his friends also solved the situation and followed the soldiers. After a while, there were shouts of training.

This matter is a bit funny when you think about it. Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing looked at each other and saw Zheng Qing smiling.

"Mr. Chen, are you going to the military weapon surveillance today?" Yang Sixu asked.

Chen Wanrong knew that he was responsible for arranging personnel, so he nodded and said, "Yes. You have to hurry up on building artillery. Oh, Qing has something to do today."

"Don't worry, Lord Chen, I will send someone to follow Miss Zheng." Yang Sixu muttered in a soldier's ear, and the soldier ran away. After a while, Sima Chengzhen, Shao Dagui and Wu Tianxing came over.

Yang Sixuzhen accepted the order: "Tele Shao, Tie Wu, Miss Zheng has something to go out today, you two will follow."

Now Yang Sixu is the biggest, and he has the final say. Shao and Wu dare not respond: "Don't worry, Lord Yang, we understand."

"That's good. Taoist priest, I'll have a blessing here." Yang Sixu bowed to Sima Chengzhen.

The most powerful people are going to leave, and there must be someone here to stay. Of course, Sima Chengzhen is the most suitable candidate. Sima Chengzhen replied: "Don't worry, Lord Yang, I will understand."

Chen Wanrong saw it and was happy in his heart. It was not like before, Shao Dagui and others were just caring for the house and protecting the hospital. They brag and chatted in groups of people who were free of charge. They were not willing to send people out even if they wanted them to send people out. With Yang Sixu's support, they dared not be disobedient. If they want to go out in the future, they just need to say something to Yang Sixu. He will arrange people and save much more worries.

Chen Wanrong brought perfume and stepped on blue and white porcelain. Yang Sixu and Chen Zairong brought their guards to follow him, and the group rushed to the military weapon supervisor.

Seeing Ye Tianheng and the others standing at the door from afar, looking around, as if waiting for someone, a little anxious. Seeing Chen Wanrong coming, Ye Tianheng and the others came up to him, Ye Tianheng complained: "My friend, you are here just now, so there is no hurry."

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Master Ye, it's me that I didn't have to worry. I had something to do last night. I slept late and got up late. Please forgive me." Last night, I attacked the people from the Crescent Sect, fighting and interrogating them, which took a lot of time. This is the truth.

"It's good if you come, it's good if you come!" Kou Yibing looked like a good old man.

Chen Wanrong asked, "What's the matter with you waiting for me?"

Ye Tianheng and Chen Wanrong had an extraordinary relationship and smiled and said, "My friend, of course, Master Sun and his friends have gone to Mianzhou. They are ready, just wait for you to come and explain, and you can go on the road."

As the "project leader", Sun Nanhu and his friends went to Mianzhou to deal with the saltpeter matter. They naturally had to meet Chen Wanrong before their trip to find out if Chen Wanrong had any other instructions.

Following Liu Huaide and the others into the military weapon surveillance, Yang Sixu reminded him: "Mr. Chen, you want to go out, tell me, I can arrange for someone to go with you. If no one follows you, don't go out."

He is for Chen Wanrong, and Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Thank you Lord Yang for your concern."

"I have a heavy word, but my duty lies." Yang Sixu and Chen Zairong took their men and found a place to rest.

Chen Wanrong asked while following Ye Tianheng and the others in, "Master Ye, how are you doing there?"

Ye Tianheng had not answered yet, Kou Yibing took over the conversation: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, Brother Ye is doing things, can you still be worried? No problem, the progress is good."

Liu Huaide continued: "Not only is Master Ye's place good, but we discussed the knife all night last night, and we also had some clues and it is very likely to make it."

Between artillery and knives, Chen Wanrong attaches more importance to knives. Once the machining tool comes out, it will start the machining era, and the impact is very far-reaching. Chen Wanrong was very excited when he heard this: "Oh, really? Have you started doing it?"

Ye Tianheng patted Chen Wanrong's shoulder: "My friend, I didn't tell you that we have tried many methods of this knife before, but none of them succeeded. Yesterday you said that we gathered the masters and discussed while drinking. The duckbill with a chicken mouth really came up with a set of methods. Is there a 100% chance of success or 80%?"

"This knife has bothered us for so many years, and finally we have a look of surprise. Everyone is happy and finally blushed. However, we have not started to make this knife. To make this knife, we must first make some tools, and then we will make them." Kou Yibing was very excited: "It's here."

Chen Wanrong and the others arrived at the door, and a group of people came out of the room, all of whom were military weapon supervisors and masters of the Jiangjiang Mansion, Sun Nanhu, Ouyang Fu and Li Xiaoyi.

After a brief greeting, Chen Wanrong apologized: "I'm late, let everyone wait for a long time, I'll apologize here."

"I'm so sorry. Please come into the house quickly." The good workers were very enthusiastic and surrounded Chen Wanrong into the house. Then they took their seats.

Sun Nanhu asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, we are about to set off to Mianzhou. I wonder if you have any instructions?"

"I have said everything I should say, there is nothing to say." Chen Wanrong was also very straightforward: "The three of you just need to remember that the soldiers ahead are waiting for use, and speed up the time."

Liu Huaide smiled and said, "In order to do this as soon as possible, the emperor issued a special order to ask Mianzhou officials to handle it. In this way, Mianzhou lacks manpower and can also go to several nearby states to call it. Lord Chen doesn't have to worry about this."

It would be easier to deal with with the special order. Chen Wanrong was also happy and asked, "How long does it take to transport it to Chang'an?"

Li Xiaoyi calculated: "This is not easy to say, it's probably one or two months. It will take us ten or half a month to arrive in Mianzhou, and we will also have to discuss and arrange staff with local officials. It will take about twenty days. When the first batch is completed, it will be almost one month. It will definitely be more than a month for shipments to Chang'an."

The straight line between Chang'an and Mianzhou is not far away, but the Qinling Mountains are steep and the mountain roads are difficult to walk. Li Xiaoyi and his friends can cross the Qinling Mountains when they go to Mianzhou. However, they cannot take this road by transporting saltpeter. They can take the water route, exit the Three Gorges, and pass the Han River to Chang'an. This time is spent a lot of time.

Ye Tianheng nodded and said, "This is the fastest time."

Chen Wanrong was very straightforward: "Are you ready? If you are OK, go quickly."

Sun Nanhu, Ouyang Fu, and Li Xiaoyiqi said, "Then let's say goodbye." The three stood up and gave a farewell. Chen Wanrong and the others were sent to the military weapon gate and watched the three of them rush to Mianzhou under the escort of a team of soldiers.

After seeing off the three of them, Ye Tianheng pulled Chen Wanrong and said, "My friend, go and have a look with the old brother."

Chen Wanrong frowned and said, "Master Ye, go and see it later. There is still something to deal with."

"Oh, what else is there? Just say it." Liu Huaide didn't have any discount.

Chen Wanrong brought a crowd into the house and asked them to sit down, saying, "I would like to ask, how much saltpeter is there near Chang'an and Chang'an?"

Kou Yibing asked in confusion: "Mr. Chen, what are you asking about this? If you have to be anxious, you can't come. You can only wait for Mianzhou to deliver it. You have to use so much."

If you really want to use it on the battlefield, you do need to use it a lot of saltpeter, but what Chen Wanrong is thinking now is not to use it on the battlefield, but it is of other use. Looking at everyone, he looked confused. Chen Wanrong explained: "There is one thing you must be clear, that is, after the cannon is created, we have to try it. If you want to test it, you must have saltpeter. We must try it after we can make more. If you don't try it, you won't know what problems there are. If you make it in one breath, no one can guarantee that it will be useful and it will be easy to use!"

Everyone understands this principle and nods in agreement. Kou Yibing suddenly became anxious: "Mr. Chen, what should I do?"

"I'm thinking about this problem too." Chen Wanrong continued: "The second problem is that the artillery is built and the army needs to be tried and trained. Only when the army masters the artillery skillfully can it work. It's already May, and it's already July when Mianzhou sends saltpeter. Let's test the artillery and train the army. Now, it's almost ninety months. The weather is already very cold and not suitable for combat."

Generally, wars are chosen in spring and summer, and there are also several battles in autumn. However, once winter comes, it is not that you cannot fight, but it is difficult to fight. Only some special battles can be fought in winter.

Shibao City is in the northwest, and it will be very cold in late autumn and it is difficult to use troops. By then, even if the artillery is built, they will have to wait for the next year. Chen Wanrong knew that although Li Longji did not say that he was under great pressure. At the same time, Ruizong was eager to win a victory.

Chen Wanrong did not have the idea of ​​flattering, but he should indeed find a way to deal with this matter as soon as possible and try to defeat the Shibao City this year. At least one thing is real and can save a lot of unnecessary consumption.
