    Ma San, an outsider, can get confidential information, and Ruan Fubao can get more accurate information.  They had not paid attention to the news from Thang Long House before. After Zhou Shixiong reminded them, Ruan Phu Bao and Ruan Phu Ajiang mobilized their connections and learned the details earlier than Zhou Shixiong.

    "That woman was given to Zheng Du by Bamond. Zheng Du had just placed an order of 100,000 taels of silver with the Malay Governor to purchase a new warship." Two days later, Nguyen Phu A Giang brought the latest news.  Arrive at Lishi Villa and meet Zhou Shixiong in a secret room in the back house.  [com]

    "This means that the Malay Governor and Zheng Zhuang have formed an alliance and took the initiative to help the Li Dynasty deal with Zheng Du." Zhou Shixiong felt that Preila's choice was the right one, because Jiading was under the jurisdiction of the Li Dynasty, although the Northern Dynasty was very  Strong, but the county officials are not as good as the current governor. In order to get more benefits, it is a wise choice to support the Le Dynasty against the Vietnamese and Northern Dynasties.  The most important thing is that Zheng Zhuang is younger than Zheng Du. Investing in an unstable regime is not the habit of European powerful people.

    "I haven't gotten accurate information yet, but it is certain that the Fo Langji people will intervene in the dispute between the two parties. I don't know what Zi Qi thinks." Ruan Phu Ajiang used his cronies who stayed in the Prince's Palace of Ping'an to get this information and confirmed that Zheng  Du was stabbed by the woman with a poisonous needle. Although he was rescued, the poison could not be removed. Zheng Du coughed up blood every day and died soon.

    "No matter who Fo Langji helps, Zheng Zhuang will not be able to swallow up the Northern Vietnam Dynasty in a short period of time. This is our opportunity." Zhou Shixiong was very upset. If he had 20,000 elite soldiers, he would take this opportunity to intervene in the Northern Vietnam Dynasty and the Li Dynasty.  The battle will definitely get a lot of benefits from them. At least it will be no problem to rent a mansion like Preila.

    "I understand, Zi Qi is saying that Zheng Du, a sick tiger, is no longer able to deal with Lang Son Prefecture. Even if we capture Bei Jia Prefecture, there is nothing he can do, right?" Ruan Phu Ajiang grasped the key point, and Zhou Shixiong nodded with a smile.  "That's right, not only is Zheng Du's own life in danger, but he also has to deal with the powerful Li Dynasty. He has no way to do anything to Lang Son Palace. The only possible method he can use is to incite the four surrounding provinces of Lang Son Palace to attack us.  Pressure.¡±

    "If this is the case, isn't Lang Son Palace surrounded by dangers?" Ruan Phu Ajiang frowned. She now admired Zhou Shixiong very much and thought that this crow's mouth was very effective in saying anything bad.

    Zhou Shixiong curled his lips and chuckled, "What a pity! Zheng Du's plan to wipe out households cannot be established at all. Guangning Palace is weak. In order to fight against Zheng Zai, the head of Beijiang Palace, Zheng Lisheng, must join forces with Langshan Palace. The conflict between Taiyuan Palace and Xuanguang Palace  The feud is no smaller than ours. As long as Lang Son Prefecture sends people to negotiate, I believe Taiyuan Prefecture will also be our ally. The only thing to worry about is Gaoping Prefecture. Several generations of the owners of Gaoping Prefecture have planned to seize Beijiu Prefecture, but they have always  It cannot be achieved if it is destroyed by Tuyen Quang Palace. This is their best chance. I believe that the Cao Bang Nong and Dai Yi tribes will definitely join forces to fight with Lang Son Palace for control of Bei Giang Palace."

    Gaoping Prefecture was named Guangyuan Prefecture in the Song Dynasty. The reason why it belonged to Jiaozhi was due to the consequences of Nong Zhigao's rebellion.  Gaopingfu Mountain has high forests, dense land, vast areas and sparsely populated areas. There is very little land suitable for farming. Moreover, due to the low temperature of the plateau landform, farming can only be done two seasons a year.  The area of ??Cao Bang is larger than that of Lang Son, but the total population is less than 100,000. The Nong ethnic group was split due to the rebellion of Nong Chigao. The emerging Dai Yi ethnic group has been suppressing the Nong ethnic group, and the disputes between the two ethnic groups have been serious.  This is also one of the reasons why Gaoping Mansion has been unable to do anything against Beizhu Mansion.

    "The Cao Bang Nong and Dai Yi tribes are wild and untamed. If the two tribes join forces to attack Bei Giang Province, I'm afraid that the soldiers of Lang Son Province will not be able to resist." Lang Son Province is also a mountainous area. Since it borders the Ming Dynasty,  Having been influenced by the Ming Dynasty culture for a long time, he has always looked down on those rude and uncivilized mountain barbarians, but Nguyen Phu A Giang also knew that the civilized people in Lang Son Province could not defeat the mountain barbarians, so of course he was worried.

    "It doesn't matter. The population of Gaoping Prefecture is too small. Even if the two groups join forces, they won't be able to send out many troops. They still have to leave some young men to defend the Yao people. It would be good if they dare to send half of their troops out of Gaoping. As long as the troops from Lang Son Prefecture and Pingxiang Prefecture are  The coalition forces should be careful, they can't get any benefits." Zhou Shixiong knew that Gaoping Shanman was very capable of fighting, but no matter how good he was in fighting, it would depend on his equipment. The unarmed Lu Bu might not be able to defeat the heavily armed Wei Yan.

    What's more, the four thousand Pingzhou Guards are no weaker than the mountain barbarians in terms of combat strength and courage, and they are even more incomparable in terms of weapons. One side is still using tools from the Stone Age, and the other side is the latest forged steel weapon.  What the hell.

    "Since Zi Qi is so sure, I can rest assured." Ruan Fu Ajiang trusts Zhou Shixiong very much and is quite satisfied with his analysis. It seems that he is never far away from listening to his words.

    "Ask your mother-in-law to go back and tell your uncle that you will try to make an alliance with Beijiang, Guangning and Taiyuan before the end of the year. The reason is, of course, to deal with the Li Dynasty's offensive. It is not good to break up with Zheng Du now. You still have to use nice words.  Said." Zhou Shixiong had Ma San help him collect intelligence, and he knew the five neighbors of Lang Son Palace the best. The alliance between Zheng Du and Nguyen Phuc Shou seemed to be very powerful, but it pushed the enemies of both sides to Lang Son Palace. GodIf you take it, you will be punished. As long as Ruan Phu Bao is not stupid, Zhou Shixiong does not need to give advice on what to do.

    The matter in Lang Son Mansion has come to an end for the time being, and Zhou Shixiong returned to the craftsmanship camp to continue researching new composite decks.  Steel was first excluded because it was too heavy.  Materials that are lightweight and strong are also found in nature, such as bamboo and mountain rattan.  Zhou Shixiong remembers the description of rattan armor soldiers in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Little Japan has been using bamboo armor and bamboo guns.  These two materials have been widely used in the military by the ancients. We have not yet developed artificial synthetic materials. It is still possible to improve the inventions of the ancients.

    Zhou Shixiong ordered craftsmen to make a variety of composite decks using rattan and bamboo interlayers, and took them for inspection.  After many experiments, the rattan rope made of rattan and bamboo strips has the best effect.  With a layer of rattan rope sandwiched between two one-inch-thick wooden boards, the Eight Bull Crossbow cannot penetrate at any distance.  After calculation, the total weight of the chariot with a layer of rattan ropes increased by less than one thousand kilograms, which fully met Zhou Shixiong's design needs.

    "Okay, it's really a good thing." Zhou Shixiong handed a half-meter-long rattan rope to Tie Yong, "Master Tie, if you pull the steel into thin wires and make a steel rope, I believe the effect will be better." Tie Yong knew  The hemp rope was very strong, and this was the first time he had seen a rattan rope. After all, there was no such kind of mountain vine in the north.

    "It's still useless if the weight can't be reduced." The rattan ropes made of rattan strips and bamboo strips can be so strong, but the steel ropes are definitely more powerful.  Unfortunately, Tie Yong was right. It would be useless to have a steel cable if the weight could not be reduced.  Zhou Shixiong knew that aluminum alloy was light in weight, but he didn't know how to extract the aluminum. He could only lament that the books would be gone when they were used.

    "Master Iron, how about trying to add iron wire to the rattan rope to make a new type of rattan armor?" Zhou Shixiong remembered the story of the rattan armor soldiers being grilled by Zhuge Liang very clearly. In order to prevent the rattan from rotting and being eaten by insects, the ancients soaked the rattan with tung oil.  Before there was such a thing as fire-retardant paint, the rattan armored soldiers would definitely catch fire.

    "This is a good idea." All the iron mines in Pingxiangzhou were found by the commanding officer. Several shallow iron mines have begun to mine, but no matter how much ore there is, there is not enough for Tie Yong Lian. His five major iron smelters  The factory has already had two shutdowns due to lack of raw materials.  Although the amount of steel in stock is large, far exceeding Pingxiangzhou's demand, Tie Yong is not optimistic at all, because the humid weather in Guangxi makes the armor easy to rust, and almost all the first batch of steel armor was scrapped.

    The anti-corrosion problem of metal weapons is not only a headache for the ancients, but even modern people have no absolute way to solve this problem.  Zhou Shixiong's idea of ??making a new type of armor using rattan and bamboo as the main material naturally intrigued Tie Yong. He immediately took Zhou Shixiong's position as leader of the composite armor research group and personally led a group of disciples and disciples to research the new type of rattan armor, while Zhou Shixiong continued to mess with him.  The chariot went.

    On the first day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, a group of women came to Lishi Villa from Pingxiangzhou under the pretext of avoiding happiness. Zhou Shixiong once again sneaked into the back house of the villa to reunite with his women and discuss how to marry Mo Lan, Mo Zhu and Shang.  As for the issue of Yue Qing and Li Zhenhe, Zhu Ying did not need to discuss it. His grandfather, King Zhou, had verbally agreed to marry her to Zhou Shixiong. In principle, Zhu Ying was already the fourth wife.

    Last year, Zhu Ying forced Zhou Er to take her to Beizhi Prefecture, and when he attacked Beizhi Prefecture, he led the auxiliary battalion to ambush Beizhi Prefecture soldiers, making great contributions to consolidating the fruits of victory.  Back at Lishi Villa, Zhu Ying was afraid that Zhou Shixiong would cause trouble for her, so she immediately ran back to Pingxiang Prefecture to take refuge. Who knew that Zhou Shixiong had to avoid Emperor Chongzhen and fake his own death, so he never had time to pay attention to her, which made Zhu Ying a little dissatisfied.

    "I don't want to get married yet!" A group of mature women in the room were discussing how to turn several sisters into sisters. Zhu Ying objected. Although Mo Lan, Mo Zhu and other four older girls acted shyly, they were very happy in their hearts.  , I didn¡¯t expect anyone to jump out and object.

    "Bao'er, stop making trouble. You are nineteen years old. What if you don't get married and become an old girl?" You Min didn't care how high Zhu Ying's strength was. He pulled her over and held her in her arms, using her tall breasts to  Hit Zhu Ying on the cheek, the scene is very warm.

    "Bao'er, don't you like the young master?" Mo Zhu asked in surprise.  Zhu Ying's little face also turned red, and she spat lightly, "Who likes him?"

    "Then my sister will be the fourth and I will be the fifth. The fifth lady seems to be quite good." No one could catch Mo Zhu's thinking. I really couldn't figure out how the fifth lady was good. Everyone could only ignore her words and continue to give.  Zhu Ying does ideological work.

    "Bao'er, it's a matter of marriage. It's a matter of parents' orders. Since your grandfather has promised you to the young master, how can you say you won't marry?" Li Zhenhe, who had been a military disciplinary officer for several years, gave Zhu Ying the first word.  To be fair, Zhu Ying buried her head in the turbulence and pretended not to hear. She really didn't dare to argue with Li Zhenhe about the rules and she had never won.

    "Bao'er, why don't you want to get married?" Li Jie spent two years training in Lang Son, learned a lot of communication skills from Nguyen Phu A Giang, and grasped the key points of Zhu Ying's words.

    "When you get married, you can't show yourself in public. Aren't you bored staying at home every day?" Zhu Ying knew she had to say it.Only by following certain principles can one pass the level and the ostrich state can only be released.
