Chapter 269: Persuasion
Lisa was stunned and asked back, "You can speak our language?"
Yun Jincai replied: "I know a little, not a lot."
Lisa asked, "Then why didn't you say it?"
Yun Jincai replied: "With James, I don't need to say it."
Lisa said, “You have to say more to be proficient.”
Yun Jincai asked, "What?"
Lisa said, "It will be good to say more."
The two of them scrubbed while chatting, then slept on a bed, and then chatted. After the second update, they suddenly heard a sound, and Lisa asked, "What's the sound?"
Yun Jincai's face turned red and pointed to the next door. Lisa suddenly woke up and covered her face and laughed loudly. Yun Jincai was stunned at first, and then laughed with her.
Dongfang Xia Lan's scolding came from next door: "Damn girl, she doesn't sleep for the middle of the night, why are you laughing! You're on the verge of the ghost!"
When Gu Du woke up the next morning, he saw Yun Jincai teaching Lisa to practice martial arts, but because of the laughter last night, Gu Du felt embarrassed and did not talk and went directly to the conference hall.
Going to the conference hall is a routine matter. In terms of the current situation, Gu Du still has to wait for Xiong Renguo's reaction. He taught Yao Saifeng a lesson yesterday and also has to wait to see the next move of Lingguo.
As for muskets and artillery, although they experienced yesterday's heavy rain and found that muskets could not be used on rainy days, Gu Du was still determined to train the musket camp and artillery camp. After all, it would not rain every day.
And after robbing the artillery for the first time, he summoned craftsmen to start research. The main purpose of catching Lisa was to restrain the attack from the Bear Man Kingdom, and to ask them for forging methods, which can be used to prove even if it is no longer needed.
In addition, Gu Du discovered that the muskets seized from soldiers of the Xiong Renguo were better than those seized from the Spirit Army.
Gu Du asked He Jinsheng, who said that the muskets that might have been given to Lingguo were all eliminated by the troops of the Xiongren Kingdom, and from a structural perspective, they were old products.
From this point of view, Gu Du felt that Xiong Renguo still had evil intentions, and Xiong Renguo should also be concerned about it. After helping Lingguo fight Zeguo, he would deal with Lingguo, or even if he couldn't deal with it, he would suppress Lingguo on weapons.
It is too easy to get started with muskets. A good archer will have to go through at least three years of hard training. Even if it is stuffed to a child, it can still be raised and killed after being taught.
Gu Du felt that although muskets are not as useful as crossbows nowadays, sooner or later, the firearms will replace crossbows. It will be done sooner or later. Perhaps this is what the Palm Fairy said. If there is no worry about the country's destruction, why do you have to seal the sea?
I don’t know what the outside world looks like, but I just guarded my own land and watched the sky. When one day the disaster suddenly came, I realized that I had been abandoned by the outside world.
After hearing the report from the detective in the meeting hall and asking about some city affairs, Gu Du went back to the house and went into the backyard. He saw Yun Jincai and Lisa sitting together having tea and chatting.
Gu Du was a little surprised and called out: "Girl, come here."
Yun Jincai agreed, put down the tea bowl and walked over, Gu Du asked, "Can she say what we say?"
Yun Jincai replied: "I will say what they are."
Gu Du was stunned, Yun Jincai said, "I don't know much. I went to school with He Jin, but Lisa said that if you say more and use more, you will know more and more."
Gu Du frowned slightly and said, "Don't talk about feelings with her. She is from the Bear Renguo and the Crown Prince. Sooner or later, she will leave. One day, she will become our mortal enemy."
Yun Jincai took a breath, pursed her lips, and said, "I have wine today and get drunk today. I'll be worried tomorrow."
In Lingyao County, Meng Yuan went to knock on Yao Saifeng's door. Yesterday, since he came back, Yao Saifeng locked himself in the room, without eating or drinking, and Meng Yuan even doubted whether Yao Saifeng committed suicide by hanging herself.
After knocking on the door twice, Meng Yuan said, "Mr. Yao, I am Meng Yuan."
The door bolt rang, and Yao Saifeng said weakly: "Come in and talk."
Meng Yuan pushed open the door and saw Yao Saifeng sitting on the bed, still wearing the clothes he had when he came back yesterday, and he didn't take off his shoes, and the hem of the clothes and the shoes were covered with mud.
Meng Yuan sighed, sat at the table, and said, "Mr. Yao, victory or defeat is a common thing for military affairs, why not be able to get along with him?"
Yao Saifeng said with a blind eye: "It's not a matter of victory or defeat, it's God's will. I tried my best to revive my morale. As a result, God suffered a heavy rain. Gu Du led his army to rush, which ruined my painstaking efforts."
Meng Yuan sighed again, thought for a while and said, "There are unexpected changes in the sky, and people have good fortune and good fortune every day. You don't have to be so arbitrary. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Unless it rains every time it fights, there is no such wish."
Yao Saifeng shook her head, sighed, and said, "Yesterday, Gu Du led his army to the battlefield. If it didn't rain, even if it was defeated, I could prove to the soldiers that Gu Du is not a god. Who would have thought... This is God's will. God's will. What can I do as a mortal?"
Meng Yuan was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Yao, I say something disrespectful. Even if this is God's will, even if the Ling Kingdom is about to perish, as long as we are still alive, we must try our best to stop Gu Du from going south."
"You said you tried your best to revive your morale, and a heavy rain would be completely destroyed, but you are not dead. As long as you are not dead, you still have a chance to prove that Gu Du is not a god. What's the use of giving up on yourself like this? Before the country has died, do you have to sacrifice your country first?"
Yao Saifeng's eyes lit up, she jumped off the bed and threw herself in front of Meng Yuan, knelt directly on the ground, held Meng Yuan's hand, held it in front of her heart, looked at Meng Yuan with tears in her eyes and said, "Master, you are right."
Meng Yuan bit his back teeth and said, "Mr. Yao, can we speak well? How can we say we two big men look so kind?"
"Yeah." Yao Saifeng agreed, let go of Meng Yuan's hand, stood up and sat on the stool next to him, and said, "I'll listen to you, you tell me what we should do next."
Meng Yuan said: "I have written a memorial for the emperor. You can wash up first, then have a meal, and then let's make a decision."
Two days later, a large part of the firearms seized from Xiong Renguo were sent to Lingyi County, while the rest were left in Zedong County.
Gu Du started training the musket battalion and artillery soldiers in the northern suburbs, and he followed him, and asked the craftsmen to speed up the preparation of gunpowder. Otherwise, just training would use up all the seized ammunition.
On the other hand, Meng Yuan's letter was in the hands of the Ling Emperor. After reading it, the Ling Emperor immediately summoned Shangguan Mingfeng and said, "Sir Shangguan, I have something I need to help you."
Shangguan Mingfeng was shocked and kowtowed and said, "The emperor has ruined his evil ministers. The emperor has only the order. The emperor must follow the order!"
