Baiyunguan did not decide to stop because Qianlong's power was hindered, but it also saved his life. Otherwise, Yuheng and Qianlong are too involved and cannot escape. Without the support from the door, he will have to fight the enemy on his own. It is really a situation of death and no life.
After all, even Qianlong is extremely afraid of this opponent!
Seeing this, Qingxu smiled slightly, Yu Heng was the most promising junior in his lineage, and he was unwilling to give up unless he had to.
????????????????? Then he said: ¡°Since I came down from the mountain, I have conducted several investigations with Master Meng Mie from Tai Shang Dao. However, the person behind the scenes is deeply hidden, and there is still no trace¡±
There was also a layer of gloom on Yu Heng's face: "With the power of two real people, can't you calculate it?"
"Now that the secrets are confused, even real people often fail in their calculations. In addition, the forces in Wu Nan's cultivation world have secret methods that can cover up traces, which is even more troublesome"
Qingxu explained. In fact, it is not impossible to calculate the price for a real person who has done great damage to his Taoism and even suffered divine punishment. But again, the real person is only one step away from eternal life. Who is willing to sacrifice?
"So, this time, Qianlong sends troops, it is also a great opportunity!"
Yu Heng¡¯s eyes lit up and he said, ¡°Stop the grass and scare the snake!¡±
"Not bad!" Qingxu stroked his beard, "The person behind the scenes invested a lot in Song Yu, and even gave him the dragon energy. The plan is not small. Now that the hidden dragon energy is strong, attacking Xin'an can just lead the snake out of its hole!"
"Moreover, the person behind the scenes does not dare to come forward directly. His strength is not as good as that of Baiyun Temple. He can only surpass us by relying on secular power. Now we must cut off his path"
Qingxu stood up, a cold light seemed to flash in his eyes.
Wuzhou has always been dominated by the Baiyunguan family. Now in troubled times, there are people who want to stand out. If they don't suppress them severely, they will easily become role models. When the time comes, loose cultivators from all over the country will also learn to rise up. The Baiyunguan family will also learn to rise up. Are you still alive?
"What the master said is true!" Yu Heng nodded in agreement.
"The Li family has decided to send troops next spring to attack Xin'an. I, Baiyunguan, have also formally formed an alliance with Qianlong. Then I will tell you to stop being tied up and ask for people, money, and food. grain!"
Master Qingxu said. These mortal branches are just superficial. As long as Baiyun Temple is still there, another one will develop in ten years, so don't worry too much.
In the past, in order to avoid being too ostentatious and to prevent the Li family from discovering it in advance, Baiyunguan's support was very covert, but now it has to be blatant and cost-effective.
"Yes!" Yu Heng looked happy. As the head disciple, he naturally knew how terrifying Baiyun Guan's secret accumulation in Wuzhou was.
"Wu Nan alone is open, enough for Qianlong to expand its army by another three thousand. Moreover, the food, wages and weapons allocated from the next year have been greatly supplemented. Basically, there is no need to consider logistics.
In this way, the strength has increased by more than 50%!
Next year, Xin'an Mansion will be defeated in one fell swoop. By then, the Li family's luck will have greatly increased, and Yuheng's cultivation will naturally increase as well.
As for the person behind the scenes, as long as he comes out, will Baiyunguan still be afraid of him?
Yu Heng¡¯s heart is like a bright mirror. At this time, the hidden dangers are clear, the thoughts in his heart are clear, and his eyes are faintly shining, but he is making progress in Taoism.
Qingxu looked at it and encouraged: "Yes, you are still in the secular world, but you still don't forget to practice, and you are not fascinated by the glory of the world. At this time, you are only half a step away from the real person"
In my heart, I feel a little regretful, but this is due to the influence of Qianlong's recent gain. If Qianlong can always be in power, it will be fine. Once Qianlong is defeated, then
??In the past, Baiyun Temple had been passed down for thousands of years and had its own secret method. If the battle for the dragon failed, Yu Heng could still be saved by paying some price. But now, it is impossible to save.
¡¡
In Xin'an Mansion, Song Yuzheng came to a warehouse.
This warehouse is huge, and there are soldiers guarding it all around. It is heavily guarded.
Song Yu was dressed in a python robe and a golden crown on her head. She was impressive and walked in the front.
There was another person following behind him, with a stooped figure, deep wrinkles on his face, a pair of cracked hands, covered with calluses, steel poured out of iron, not like a living thing.
This man was wearing an eighth-grade official uniform and following Song Yu. On both sides, there were dozens of guards, wearing strong armor and sharp swords, guarding the two wings.
Since Song Yu knew that the catastrophe was coming, he would not wear the dragon fish suit and put himself in danger. Not only was the Jiedu Mansion heavily guarded, but he was also accompanied by a large number of soldiers when traveling.
According to statistics, since the founding of Jiedu Mansion, there have been three waves of assassins. However, none of them could get in front of Song Yu and were killed. Even the loss of soldiers wasrare.
Song Yu came to the main door and said, "Open it!"
A clerk immediately stepped forward, took out the brass key, and opened the warehouse door.
With a "squeaking" sound, a cloud of dust was raised, followed by a turbid air, which made people frown.
Song Yu turned a blind eye and two soldiers went in behind him. They came out soon after and nodded.
Song Yu strode in. The clerk had lit the oil lamp early. By the light of the fire, he could see that there were wooden frames on both sides, each filled with armor.
There are many kinds of armors, and there are quite a lot of them. Among them, iron armor is the least, followed by leather armor. The most common type of armor is a kind of strange armor, which almost fills up the warehouse and even piles on the ground.
Song Yu picked up one, which was in the style of a breastplate, without knee pads or a helmet. I weighed it and found that it was not very heavy. It was dark yellow, shiny, and had a faint texture. It was not made of iron or leather.
This is bamboo armor, a kind of armor unique to the south. The main material is bamboo.
There are many bamboo forests in the south, and local materials are naturally cheap and can be equipped in large quantities.
Song Yu turned around and said, "Sun Miao, check carefully!"
Sun Miao bowed and said, "Yes, little one, wake up!"
This Sun Miao is from a craftsman family. In Daqian, this is the lowest status and has always been regarded as a low-level job. Not only did they live a hard life, they were also exploited by superior officials, and many of them broke their homes and fled.
When they arrived at Qin Zongquan's place, they needed to build ordnance and maintain the city walls. Their treatment had improved, but it was just like that, and it couldn't be much better.
In ancient times, how many people were able to obtain high-ranking officials and generous salaries due to their outstanding craftsmanship?
Song Yu started from scratch. Although it was difficult, there were fewer constraints. The Ministry of Industry is of great importance. How can it be left in the hands of scholars who can only read and write poetry as before?
No matter how you look at it, it¡¯s a tragic end for an amateur to lead an expert.
Therefore, Song Yu issued a decree to establish the Councilor of Gongcao, and found the most prestigious among the craftsmen, Sun Miao, to serve as the counselor. Moreover, those who improve the lives of craftsmen, work actively, and produce good-quality products can receive rewards, and even get official positions, and they will be freed from humble status!
To show his attitude, Sun Miao was promoted on the spot and given a farm and a house.
This policy immediately caused the craftsmen to work hard every day in order to improve their status.
A steady stream of ordnance supplies was created.
Of course, this move was criticized by many aristocratic families, but Song Yu just ignored it. What worried him a little was that all the money he got from Qin Zongquan and several large households' confiscations was thrown into this bottomless pit.
If there was not going to be a war, Song Yu also hoped to take advantage of it, but unfortunately, time did not wait for us.
According to the information received from Chen Yunhe, the Li family is already preparing to take action. There will be a war at the beginning of spring!
If you win this battle, you can completely get rid of Qianlong's fortune and be free from now on. Song Yu's eyes seemed to be ignited with flames, almost burning.
At this time, Sun Miao finished the inspection and reported: "Master Qi, the inventory has been completed. There are five iron armors, thirty-seven pairs of leather armors, and five hundred and thirty-three pieces of bamboo armors. They are all generally usable!"
Song Yu nodded. This was the accumulation of Qin Zongquan. Now it all belongs to him, and he can be regarded as a pioneer for the king.
This bamboo armor is cheap, but a little inconvenient. In terms of defense, it can only protect against ordinary bows and arrows. It also has a certain protective effect in close combat, but it is powerless against long crossbows and hard arrows.
In the army, the average soldier only has one weapon, plus a uniform, and after a few months of training, he is considered an elite soldier. This is the standard in other states as well.
In the south, only corps commanders, fire chiefs and veterans wear bamboo armor.
When you reach the team leader, you can wear leather armor, which not only has stronger defensive power than bamboo armor, but is also more flexible and comfortable.
??Further up, at Yingzheng and others, there is iron armor. In ancient times, iron materials were precious. The value of a pair of iron armor is enough to be worth the land and houses. It is an heirloom of a general.
When you get a general, you will have high-level armor such as Yanling Armor and Mingguang Armor, to name a few.
Of course, these are talking about the general army, and the state soldiers are first-rate. The central direct army of Daqian is called the Forbidden Army. It is the most powerful force of Daqian. It is equipped with first-class equipment. Even the lowest-level soldiers are wearing leather armor. They can be called the elite in the world!
Song Yu nodded and said, "Yes, you can arm yourself."
Only with perfect armaments and sufficient troops can we have the confidence to argue. This time, the Li family is coming with a fierce force, carrying the potential of the hidden dragon, which is even more difficult to resist.
After Song Yu finished his inspection, he ordered: "It is reported that the officers above the Xin'an Mansion Camp must gather in the conference hall. I have the order to issue it!"
A soldier bowed and trotted out.
Since the master summoned him, his subordinates naturally did not dare to neglect it.
When Song Yu came to the meeting hall, everyone was basically there. Song Yu glanced around and found that except for those who stayed behind in the county seat, everyone else was here.
??????????????????????????????????????????????: The military spirit was gathered together, and a murderous atmosphere filled the air. I couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
Song Yu took the seat of honor on his own initiative.
Underneath, Ye Hongyan led the generals to bow down: "I have seen the commander-in-chief!"
Song Yu raised her hand: "No courtesy!"
After everyone stood up and lined up, he asked: "Song Hu!"
"The bid is here!" Song Hu stepped out.
"How about lowering the troops for training?"
"Commander Qizhen, the basic training is completed and you can use it!" Song Hu's voice was calm.
"Okay, so now we really have five thousand soldiers in our town." Song Yu said, and the officers below showed joy. After all, the army is expanding, and as more seats are vacated, there will be opportunities to get ahead.
Seeing this, Song Yu continued: "This town has received news that Li Xun of Linjiang will attack me next year. Are you confident?"
Those present were all confidants, so Song Yu told the truth.
Hearing this, the officers below were a little commotion. Song Yu frowned.
Song He stood aside. Seeing this, he struck the ground with his sword and shouted: "Quiet!" The sound was like thunder, waking everyone up.
