Bi Zilun's eyes moved slightly and he tentatively said: "I heard that General Qin had served in the Zhongxiao Army before?"

Qin Wu could not see anything unusual on his face, and said lightly: "I worked in the Chen army for a while, but later I was separated from my troops, so I started to make my family all over the world."

Bi Zilun said again: "Wanyan Yi is loyal and brave, and he is committed to serving the country. After hearing his deeds, whoever is moved by tears? It is a lifelong glory for the general to serve under his command."

Qin Wu still replied calmly: "He himself is from the Wanyan family. Is there anything wrong with fighting for his own family?"

"But you have also eaten the salary of a large gold!" Bi Zilun took a step forward and said, "Have you forgotten the kindness of the Dajin court?"

Qin Wu opened his eyes wide and said word by word: "Let me know clearly that every copper plate given to me by the Jin Kingdom has no white flowers. The heads they got from me are ten times more than others."

"But the little kindness of people should be rewarded with a spring of love. This is what my husband does!"

Qin Wu shook his head and said, "There is no Jin Kingdom now. If the sir cannot accept this fact, he will only struggle in pain for the rest of his life."

Bi Zilun said hatefully: "Although the emperor died for his country, there is still the blood of the Wanyan family in the world, and many soldiers in the Dajin area are fighting hard in various places! There are hundreds of thousands of troops living in the south alone. Although the moon is only a shallow crescent moon, who knows that it will be dark and shining on the world in the future?"

"You are openly rebelling." Qin Wu smiled and said, "It's also a thank you for Zheng Yunming to take you into the army."

Bi Zilun snorted: "He just wanted to use my talents to help him recruit northern military horses to serve him. Forget it, the Dajin Temple is now in decline, and if you want to rise again, you can only use the power of the Southern Dynasty."

"But if you want to use Zheng Yunming's power, you must first show him your ability. With a talented and stubborn person like him, as long as you can show your talents, I don't think he will care about what you think in private." Qin Wu said: "But if you are a traitor, don't hinder my military management, otherwise you will not care about the friendship between the countryside when the time comes."

Bi Zilun snorted and asked in a deep voice: "If one day in the future, I can really revive the Great Golden Banner and reshape the mountains and rivers, what about your Qin Wu's choice?"

Qin Wu said seriously: "I am different from Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng has received great favors from the Emperor of Jin. With your official title, even if you surrender to the Southern Dynasties, it is not just a role to join the army. So you cannot betray the Jin Dynasties. But I am just a small pawn from beginning to end. Now I serve in the Southern Dynasties army for the great loyalty of General Zheng. I can't say anything about the future, and I can't just say it casually. Maybe if history develops to that point, it will not give people a chance to choose."

Bi Zilun nodded and said, "This statement is also reasonable. Life is like a chess game. Many times, we are just people who cannot help themselves..."

While the two were talking, Wang Ziqiu rushed over and reported: "Zheng Yunming is back from Baijiazhai!"

At the north gate of Xiangyang, Zheng Yunming, Bai Yijie and others rode together and rushed all the way to the city.

After the disaster in Xiangyang, most of the residents in the city were impressed by this young life-saving man and kept bowing to Zheng Yunming on the road. Zheng Yunming kept nodding and thanking each other, and his neck was sore.

Bai Yijie followed Zheng Yunming and looked at the defense situation outside Xiangyang City casually.

The trench is deep and has heavy antlers, and it looks very complete. But Bai Yijie believes that if he is the siege general, there will be about forty or fifty ways to clear the outer fortifications directly under the city.

We must turn Xiangyang into a real golden soup bucket and be indestructible.

While he was in the middle of the journey, he suddenly found a team of dozens of unicycles in front of him, and each unicycle was covered with the flag of the Earth Dragon Army.

The officers in the escort team saw the general returning from outside the city and hurried up to greet him.

Zheng Yunming raised his hand and returned the greeting. Bai Yijie asked, "What kind of goods are loaded on the car?"

"The cast iron and bronze that craftsmen need." Zheng Yunming said: "This time, it is very effective to resist firearms like Mongol General Bamboo. But if the body tube is only made of bamboo and wood, it will not be able to be perfect. I consider whether it can use cooked iron bronze as a material to make bamboo generals with metal body tubes. This will inevitably increase the power, and when the enemy comes again, defense will be easier."

"You really have a special liking for shooting firearms." Bai Yijie said: "Since the Tang Dynasty, the army has generally regarded gunpowder and firearms as auxiliary weapons to shock opponents with smoke and sound. Only in recent years have the Jin people's flying muskets and explosive weapons such as sky-shaking thunder. As for firearms that can shoot projectiles, General Zhu should be the first type."

Of course it is the first type. Zheng Yunming thought to himself that if I hadn't traveled through time, the earliest artillery fire guns in history would have been more than 20 years before they were born in Lianghuai. Moreover, with the unimproved original gunpowder of the Song Dynasty, the firing weapon would not have much real power.

"Talk about this matter." Yang Xuan suddenly said: "Recently, the generals of the Xiangyang army have sent people to ask for the gunpowder formula of our army. They said that the power of our army's gunpowder is a hundred times stronger than what they use. If the army in Jinghu can be equipped with such gunpowder and cooperate with a large number of bamboo generals, the enemy will definitely not be underestimated by our army."

"The secret recipe for exquisite gunpowder is a secret related to the national destiny. How can you show it to others casually?" Zheng Yunming said: "When the supervisor arrives, I will follow the recipe, the production method and General Zhu's design drawings, and send a special person to escort back to Lin'an and hand it over to the Privy Council. I hope it can be made in batches. As for the gunpowder and firearms used in Jinghu, I will let them all buy Jiangling Workshop in the future."

He clearly tried to use technological monopoly to make a big fuss. Bai Yijie didn't realize that he had a strange smile on his face.

His expression naturally could not escape Zheng Yunming's eyes. He said without any obscurely: "It is not my principle that I, Zheng Yunming, took out the things I have studied and shared with others for free. What's more, these guys in Jinghu will not cherish what they get without spending a penny."

"No, no, no, I have no objection to the general manager's approach." Bai Yijie said: "It is more useful than allowing his troops to use advanced weapons to ensure his unique combat effectiveness in the Jinghu army. As for selling it, it is even better. Seeing that studying new weapons can actually become a source of wealth will inspire enthusiasm for active research, which is much more useful than the court's reward of 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan."

He smiled and said, "I was just surprised that the combat power of the general's subordinates was no less than that of any military horse in Jinghu, but the generals actually had such a strong desire to study new weapons. Usually, only when the enemy's troops came to the city will these generals on the frontier temporarily study one or two new things."

Zheng Yunming laughed awkwardly, his voice full of bitterness: "They are still 108,000 miles away from the real warriors. Now they are just a little bit of foundation."

"The previous training gave them the most basic physical reserve and discipline concept. As for combat skills, they cannot compare with the current army in Jinghu. The past few victories are just the result of discipline, physical strength and morale advantages. If we talk about single-on-one battles, let alone the Mongolian army, even the Tulong army is not as good as the army and horses in Jinghu."

"The next time is the time to actually train them." Zheng Yunming pointed the horse whip forward: "The most basic square formation training should be carried out on the school field ahead. If you are not afraid of being disturbed by the children's shouts, let's go and take a look now."

There were drums in the schoolyard in the northwest corner of Xiangyang City, but there was no screaming like Zheng Yunming said.

The five hundred people formed a five-row array of square formations, and advanced forward with neat steps in the rhythm of the drum beats of the small array drums.

The two rows of soldiers at the front were complete with armor. The first row of soldiers held up the long spear in their hands over their shoulders, and the tip of the halberd was hanging down, which was holding the gun. The second row of soldiers raised the long spear flat from the gap in the front row, and the dragon spear was swayed. The three rows of long spearmen behind them raised the red-lacquered wooden spear, and the spear tip was shining in the sunlight.

Although there was no loud shout of killing, the actions of the five hundred people in a consistent pace and the majestic advancement of the guns were itself an invisible pressure on the enemy.

Bai Yijie frowned and saw the problem with this formation.

"The armored soldiers are arranged in front and on both wings to resist the close-range cavalry of enemy cavalry." He rode on the horse and said to Zheng Yunming slightly: "The first row uses spears and halberds because these two weapons are more flexible than long spears. This is the old method of the state dynasty, and it is not surprising. However, in this way, the spearheads of the spearmen in the rear cannot reach the enemy, which is equivalent to actually only the two rows of veterans in the front fighting, and the others sit and watch the success or failure."

"This problem was very prominent during the Battle of Wulipo." Zheng Yunming said: "Craftsmen are rushing to make new spears. The spear poles are two feet and five feet long, and there are iron leaves behind the spear tips. The enemy's swords and axes cannot be cut off at will. After the first spear equipment team, the real power of the square formation should be seen."
