    "In this case, the Vietnamese and Northern Dynasties are obviously weak in terms of military strength, and they can only defend instead of attack." The Le Dynasty claimed to send 200,000 troops. Everyone knows that there is a lot of water in it, but the Northern and Vietnamese Dynasties also have the same problem. The number of troops sent by each government  No one tells the truth.  Even if there is no problem with the number of soldiers, the quality must be sufficient. For Zheng Lisheng's 10,000 regular soldiers, at most, the armor is guaranteed to be regular soldiers, and there will definitely be no training or anything like that.

    Zhou Shixiong¡¯s worries seemed completely unnecessary to Zheng Lisheng. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said calmly.  "Master Ji is overly worried. We have Shenglong Palace standing in front of us, so there is nothing to worry about." Zheng Lisheng was manipulated by Zheng Zai. Although he was forced to temporarily cooperate with Zheng Zai to fight against the enemy, his calculations failed.  He was right. No matter what, Zheng Zai must go all out to deal with Zheng Zhuang. If others lose, they can surrender, and maybe they can keep their own glory and wealth. Zheng Zai has no choice. Even if he surrenders, he will only be beheaded.  dead end.

    "Having said that, we still have to do our best to keep the Li Dynasty army out of Thang Long Mansion. Once Thang Long Mansion suffers a military disaster, neither your house nor our house will benefit." Thang Long Mansion was torn apart by others.  Needless to say, Zheng Zai will definitely be destroyed, but the business route that Zhou Shixiong relies on for a living will also be destroyed.  Zhou Shixiong didn't want to see this happen, but he couldn't convince Zheng Lisheng. After all, the trade route was the interest of Lang Son Prefecture and had little to do with Beijiang Prefecture.

    "Actually, Zheng is also planning for Palace Master Ji. If Zheng Zai loses power, the Ruan Phuc family will definitely suffer. At that time, it will be easier for Palace Master Ji to seek revenge." Zheng Lisheng was determined to hold back, and of course he wanted to persuade Ji.  Hongchang played with him, and the reason Zheng Lisheng found was so tenable that Ji Hongchang had trouble rejecting it.

    "Thank you Master Zheng for your trouble. I know what to do." Seeing that he could not persuade Zheng Lisheng, Zhou Shixiong had no choice but to interrupt the meeting and send the envoys off to the city the next day.

    After Zheng Lisheng left, Zhou Shixiong ordered Ma San to send the latest information to Pingxiangzhou, and asked Guan Chongguang to help advise him on what to do next.  It is absolutely necessary to send troops, but there are many choices for what kind of troops to send.  Thousands of old and weak soldiers from Lang Son Prefecture were sent as troops, and Pingxiang Prefecture's strongest 5,000 troops were sent as troops. Zhou Shixiong was a little undecided.

    A few days later, Guan Chongguang's reply was sent to Lang Son City. At the same time, Tie Yong also came to Lang Son City from the craftsman camp.  "Please." Gao Fulai reported to Tie Yong that he wanted to see him, and Zhou Shixiong immediately walked out of the second door to greet him.  As the manager of Pingxiangzhou Craftsmanship Camp, Zhou Shixiong deserves respect from him, both in terms of his status and his own abilities.

    "Master Tie, I have an old friendship with you. Why don't you come to attend my inauguration ceremony?" Zhou Shixiong complained as soon as he saw Tie Yong. Tie Yong was naturally warm in his heart, and Gao Fu did not dare to treat him like an ordinary person.  The craftsman looked at Tie Yong and knew that he was the master's friend.

    "Please forgive me, Master Ji. I really don't dare to reach such a high level for fear of tarnishing your reputation." No one in Pingxiangzhou dared to look down on Tie Yong, but Tie Yong knew that craftsmen have no status.  The main reason why Pingxiangzhou is respected by others is that the first generation of Zhennanhou valued them.  Lang Son Prefecture does not have the Marquis of Zhennan to take care of him, so it is only right to keep a low profile as much as possible.

    "Iron Master is ridiculous. I was once a craftsman. Now I am the head of a house by mistake. However, I have never felt that craftsmen are inferior to others, and I will not think that it is a stain just because I have craftsman friends.  ." Changing the social status of craftsmen is not something Zhou Shixiong can do now. He can only reveal one piece of information to others: Lang Son Province does not discriminate against craftsmen.

    "Since Master Ji treats you sincerely, I should be grateful to you. I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of the craftsmen of Langshan Mansion." Tie Yong bowed to Zhou Shixiong very solemnly, and Zhou Shixiong accepted the full ceremony with a smile.  Then he invited Tie Yong inside to talk in detail.

    Sitting down in the side hall, Zhou Shixiong motioned to Gao Fu to serve tea, "Master Tie, I come to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. You must have something to do when you come here this time. Please tell me as much as possible. If I can help, I will not refuse."  Xiangzhou is transferring supplies to Lang Son Mansion. How could Tie Yong, the camp manager, not know about it? The secret order for the transfer was signed by Madam You Min on behalf of the Zhennan Hou Mansion, together with Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng. Tie Yong  Yong is not qualified to question.

    "Sir Ji, I do have something to tell you, but this matter is more closely related to you." Tie Yong gave up, and Zhou Shixiong frowned and thought carefully, what does it have to do with him?  After thinking for a while, Zhou Shixiong was still confused, and Tie Yong quickly made an assessment after observing his words.  "Lord Ji, do you still remember the chariot?"

    "Oh, of course I remember!" How could Chariot not remember? It was just because he hadn't been in contact for too long that he didn't think of it for a while.  "Master Iron, have you completed all testing and modification of the chariot?"

    "Exactly." Tie Yong smiled proudly. Although Ji Hongchang was the creator and first developer of tanks, the credit for actually building the first batch of operational tanks should go to Tie Yong. He was completely  Qualified to be proud.

    "That's great, let's go and take a look." Tie Yong ran in person.?The report showed that he was very confident in the performance of the finalized tank. Zhou Shixiong hurriedly stood up and walked out. He couldn't wait to see the power of the new tank.

    "Master Ji, don't be anxious. I have brought you more than a year's experimental records. Please take a look at these records first. It will take two days for the chariot to arrive." Zhou Shixiong wanted to go to the craftsman camp to see the actual objects. Tie Yong  These words surprised him, "You brought the chariot to Lang Son City?"

    "The younger one was ordered by the official Zhizhou to send ten chariots to Lang Son City. The official Zhizhou gave me a letter, saying that Master Ji will understand after reading it." Tie Yong took out a letter and handed it to Zhou Shixiong.  I took the letter and opened it, and I understood.

    According to the experimental procedures set by Zhou Shixiong, Tie Yong conducted the most thorough testing and modification of the elephant chariot. When he believed that the chariot had reached perfection, he submitted a report to Pingxiangzhou.  Guan Chongguang personally went to the Craftsman Camp to observe the actual combat exercise of tanks, and immediately ordered the first batch of ten tanks to be sent to Lang Son City to increase the defense of Lang Son City.

    Guan Chongguang's reason is very simple. The main military generals in Pingxiangzhou are all in Lang Son City, and the defenders of Lang Son City are really not trustworthy. In order to ensure the safety of Zhou Shixiong and others and avoid the occurrence of murders like Nguyen Phu Bao, strengthen the  The defense of Lang Son City is a must.

    Guan Chongguang¡¯s reasons were high-sounding. Even if Zhou Shixiong wanted to object, he couldn¡¯t find a suitable reason, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.  "Master Iron, you must be very tired from the long journey. Please go down and rest first. When the chariot arrives in two days, how about we watch it together?"

    "Master Xie Ji, I dare not obey my order." Tie Yong followed Gao Fu down to rest. Zhou Shixiong took out the intelligence that had just been sent and found that there was another letter written by Guan Chongguang, which was a reply to the matter of sending troops for combat.

    Guan Chongguang believes that Zhou Shixiong¡¯s choice is right. At this stage, Lang Son Prefecture is not qualified to play the game of fishermen and cranes and clams. Maintaining the confrontation between the two countries is the most in line with the interests of Lang Son Prefecture.  In order to achieve this goal, in addition to actively sending troops, Lang Son Prefecture should also expand the armor manufacturing industry to provide higher-quality armor to various prefectures in Vietnam and the Northern Dynasties.  It is necessary to make the country rich, and it is also necessary to improve the combat effectiveness of Vietnam and North Korea.

    "This Cheng Peng is probably just looking for an excuse to make the country difficult to make money!" Zhou Shixiong slandered, called Gao Fu who was guarding outside, and ordered him to find a suitable place on the Qushui River outside Lang Son City. He wanted to build a large ironworks  workshop.

    "Sir, how big is the big one?" The concept given by Zhou Shixiong was too vague. Gao Fu was afraid that it would not meet the requirements of the master, so he asked carefully.

    "It should be at least about a hundred acres in size. Well, don't choose a place with fertile farmland, just find a deserted beach." Zhou Shixiong pondered for a moment and gave two precise requirements. Gao Fu nodded in agreement.

    That night, Zhou Shixiong summoned Zhu Ying, Zhou Er, Zhou Hou and Li Xiaobin and announced the news of sending troops to fight against the Li Dynasty.  Although Zhu Ying was very interested in commanding operations, Zhou Shixiong still handed over the task of sending troops to Zhou Er, and Li Xiaobin led the night camp to assist.  As for Zhu Ying and Zhou Hou, one is responsible for the entire army of Lang Son Prefecture, and the other is responsible for training the new night camp and assisting Zhu Ying in managing the troops.

    "My lord, I want to go too!" As soon as Zhou Er and others left, Zhu Ying launched the coquettish tactic, which she had just come from Li Zhenhe.  Shang Yueqing has been a military disciplinary officer for too long and has turned into an icy beauty. Zhou Shixiong can only turn her into soft water when he is in bed, and she looks cold the rest of the time.  Occupational diseases cause serious harm to people!

    "Who will protect my husband when my wife is gone?" Since Zhou Shixiong can hand over the power of commanding the army to Zhu Ying, he naturally believes that Zhu Ying has such ability. The only problem is that he must keep Zhu Ying by his side to prevent her from acting willfully.  .  Nowadays, apart from Zhou Shixiong, only You Min can control Zhu Ying, and even the teacher Guan Chongguang has no control over Zhu Ying.

    Zhu Ying immediately felt sweet that her husband trusted her so much, and said with a smile, "You know how to fool people. Before, without my protection, you would have been fine."

    "The past is the past and the present is the present. This cannot be confused. Since I married Bao'er, my husband can't leave my wife. Could it be that my wife wants to abandon my husband and leave!" The couple played tricks and talked and laughed.  Gone home.

    Lang Son Province has just issued a mobilization order, and the Le Dynasty army has been divided into three groups and is approaching Nam Dinh and Ha Binh provinces. The first Vietnamese towns to be hit are Phat Diem and An Lao towns in Nam Dinh.  and Biancun Town in Heping Prefecture.

    These three places are the three most important military towns of the Vietnamese and Northern Dynasties on the border between the two countries. Originally, they were stationed here with elite soldiers and strong generals. Unfortunately, this time the whole country of the Le Dynasty came to attack. Although the three towns had tens of thousands of troops, they were unable to withstand the approaching troops.  Ten times the enemy's fierce attack, the battle lasted only one day, and the three towns fell separately.  Fortunately, the defenders of these three towns were not idiots and did not run away on their own. During the retreat, they also set fire to three gates to block the enemy's pursuit.
