Chapter 48 Mr. Su’s ambition

"Well~" Zhu Bashiyi frowned and pondered in a low voice. He could not be sure whether the strategy of Xuzhou Red Turban's development towards the southwest was correct, but it was indeed a temptation for him to stop looking at Zhao Jun's expression. After all, Zhu Dapeng, who lived in the 21st century, squatted at home and became an otaku because he didn't like to look at the boss's expression. Although Zhu Laonian in the 14th century was tortured to the point of life, he still had the unique untiety of young people in his bones!

"I know that the admiral cannot let go of General Manager Li's kindness, and I am not trying to persuade you to leave Xuzhou Red Turban!" Seeing that Zhu Bashiyi was a little moved by himself, Mr. Su took a deep breath and continued to strike while the iron was hot. "But Governor, think about it, can you help General Manager Li, or can you go to the other side of the Yellow River to create a world to help General Manager Li?! You stay here, Zhao is holding everything with elbows, and no matter how great your ability is, you can't use it. Including the gunpowder and grenades made last time, if it weren't for turning the tide in the war, who would have used that thing as a treasure in the entire Xuzhou army?!"

"Yes, Governor, Shen Sheng died inside and Chong'er was safe outside. Changshi Zhao was narrow-minded. If you stay in Xuzhou, you will be harmed by him sooner or later. It would be better to cross the Yellow River and kill a piece of your own world! At that time, you can make any weapon you want, and practice whatever you want, and do whatever you want, and do it exactly according to your intentions! Why bother here and be controlled by others everywhere?! The humble words are all here, please think twice by the Governor!" Yu Changlin bowed down again and spoke very loudly with his advice.

"This is the word of humbleness. Please think twice before the general!" Mr. Su took a step back and asked Zhu Bashiyi to accept his advice with his subordinates' courtesy.

"This--" For a moment, Zhu Bashiyi's good life committee could not be decided. If he couldn't say it, he wouldn't even deceive himself. Although Zhao Junyong's relationship with him was not as powerful as the enemy, as the Xuzhou army continued to grow and grow, the two of them kept conflicting in their work styles and thinking concepts, and sooner or later there would be a day when sparks would come.

And the next time, it may not be as simple as verbal confrontation. If it really develops into a conflict of force, even if it can escape unscathed, the Xuzhou army will inevitably face a big split. If it is not done well, it may collapse.

But if he turned around like this, he felt very sorry for Sesame Li. After all, since the first meeting, Sesame Li knew very well that he was not the body of Maitreya Buddha in the world. However, Sesame Li still trusted himself and tried his best to pull himself into the decision-making circle of Hongwu in Xuzhou. He had never felt any loss in terms of official positions, salary, or the equipment of soldiers under his command.

While hesitating, he heard Mr. Su sigh and said loudly: "In recent days, the governor picked up the Ivan from the stinky ditch has been talking to his subordinates that the Red Turban Army's corps are too rough and how to improve it. I guess the governor kept him by his side and granted the power of military affairs to the counselor. The opponent also used the "stone from another mountain" to attack jade. However, the governor was always worried and did not dare to let go! You don't want to give Zhao Jun an excuse to take the opportunity to cause trouble, and your subordinates can understand your difficulties. But our left army now has nearly 6,000 brothers! In order not to give Zhao Jun an excuse to cause trouble, you are timid in everything. When one day the soldiers of the Yuan court came over, if the war is unfavorable, it would be that you sent all the six,000 brothers to the court's knife?!"

"Okay, stop talking!" Zhu Bashiyi suddenly became furious and interrupted with a blue face. "I understand what you two mean, but the time is wrong now. Let it go first, and when the time is right, I will naturally make a decision!"

After saying that, he didn't want to listen to any advice from both of them. He moved his legs, strode out of the door, and headed straight to the riverside to the workshop. When the Zuojun Sicang Yu Changlin saw it, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, turned his eyes to Mr. Su, and said in disappointment: "How can such indecisiveness achieve great things! Mr. Zhe, you and I'm afraid you will be happy!"

Unexpectedly, although Mr. Su always scattered in front of Zhu Bashi, he could not tolerate others saying that his boss was wrong. He immediately raised his eyes and retorted sternly: "You are a nerd who has never even had a door several times. You know what a great thing looks like?! Heroes may not be ruthless! If you and I say that he immediately leads troops north because of a few words today, that's really a disaster!"

"Uh!" Yu Changlin was so choked by him that he could not breathe, and almost fainted on the spot. However, Mr. Su patted his sleeves without any sympathy and walked out slowly, while whispering: "The world is already in chaos. If he can turn against Sesame Li today, will he be affectionate and righteous to you and me in the future? In that case, you and I will assist him in achieving the cause of kings and dominance, and in the end he will be the same as Zixu and Wenzhong. What else can I do? Don't stand stupidly if you have nothing to do, quickly take some brothers to the arsenal, order two thousand two and a half pounds of iron thunder, and load them with a car to deliver it to the rear army! I have already agreed with the Han Changshi of the rear army to exchange for three buckets of rice for each grenade. You can stare at it at that time, don't let them fool them with small buckets!" (Note 1)

"It turns out that you have a way to get food for a long time!" Yu Changlin rolled his eyes when he was so angry that he had to stand up and bow, "Abide by the order!"

"Are you doing nothing if I help this and that tickling machine every day?!" Mr. Su shook his robe sleeves twice, and walked out the door with his hands behind his back. "Since you are throwing it with a tick, it is of course the most powerful iron thunder. At present, most of the blacksmiths in Xuzhou City are in Zuojun's workshops. Well, if they want to make iron thunder, how can they buy it from me?!"

"You old fox!" Yu Changlin couldn't cry or laugh. He was stunned for a long time before he exchanged thunder for food under the suspicious eyes of his personal soldiers.

Two thousand iron thunders, the number sounded small. When loaded onto the car, there were five large trucks. They were transported to Pengda's rear army and replaced it with food, and the scale was even more impressive. It took three hours for Yu Changlin to direct the auxiliary soldiers to transport it back and carefully enter the warehouse.

Lunch time was over, but he didn't feel very hungry. He took a few sips of tea and took the details of the day's storage to find Su Changshi to do the relevant delivery.

When we arrived at the destination, the person we were looking for was not in the house. After asking about the personal soldiers on duty in the yard, we realized that the old fox had not come back in the morning. He followed the footsteps of the governor and went to the river to see the craftsmen raiding.

"A good governor and a chief minister, neither disciplined the military and practiced martial arts nor discussed military books and strategies, but he leaped into the pile of blacksmiths one by one. What kind of discipline does this mean?!" The anger he was pulled by Su Changshi in the morning as a gunhead was not yet gone. At this moment, he heard that the other party was not doing his job properly, and Yu Changlin immediately felt that his future was dark, so he raised his feet and chased the riverside.

Before we could reach the entrance of the workshop, we saw a large group of people in Wuyang Wuyang gathered around two tall water trucks, cheering and cheering. When we got closer, we could tell that one of the water trucks was carrying a water hammer made by the governor who had spent two ingots of gold, and was slowly hitting the iron blocks. Every time it rose and fell, it would cause people around to cheer loudly.

The second water wheel is a copy of the first water wheel. It is actually mounted on the other side of the river, opposite the water hammer. Several bronze gears of various sizes with leather strings and drill bits were drilled on a white and bright iron plate. The iron plate looked at least four points, but it looked like to bean curd. Every time it was placed under the drill bit, it was immediately inserted to the end!

"Using a water truck to drive the hammer and drill bits has saved the craftsmen a lot of effort!" Although he was not satisfied with Zhu Bashiyi and Su Mingzhe's unwillingness to do their jobs, Yu Changlin was still moved by the wonders seen in front of him and muttered in his heart.

Just as he was feeling, he suddenly heard Zhu Bashiyi's unique loud voice shouting under the water hammer, "Have you drilled out, send it here immediately after drilling out, don't be too slow!"

"Oh, I'll drill it out, I'll drill it out! I'll give it to you right away!" Huang Laowai, the manager of the workshop, jumped across the river, and then jumped onto the boat with two white and bright iron plates. He rowed back to this side of the river bank in three or two.

"Hurry, Lao Huang, connect the iron armor with leather thread and see what it looks like! Lao Su, you can continue fighting with them, and take advantage of dawn to make a few more sets!" Zhu Bashiyi stepped forward with his own hands and helped Huang Lao Wai off the boat, and then shouted as a foreman.

"Oh!" Huang Laowai and Su Changshi agreed loudly, and each brought a few people to work. Their faces were black and white, as dirty as farmers, and they didn't look like officials on their bodies.

Yu Sicang sighed repeatedly when he saw it, squeezed his body towards the center of the crowd, and went closer to see what treasure it was, making Su Changshi even want Swen. He saw that Huang Laowai's ten fingers thicker than radish danced up and down like butterflies. In an instant, he used a leather rope to connect the two iron plates into one through the holes that had been drilled in advance.

One front and one back, each of which is connected to each other. A large round hole is opened above, and there are also a slightly smaller round hole on both sides, just like the short jacket worn by the merchants in summer. It is so weird and weird. It is not cold-proof, but not breathable. It is heavy when worn on the body, and can crush people to death!

"Okay!" Before he could ask what the other party was doing, Huang Laowai was already excitedly starting to perform his skills. "It was about eighteen kilograms, which was at least ten kilograms lighter than the big leaf armor worn by the Rakshasa people. There was no gap between the leaves of the armor. On the battlefield, it would definitely be easier to save your life!!"

"Don't blow first, let's take the target and try it!" Zhu Bashiyi also stood up with his big black hands rubbed, took the sleeveless iron armor from Huang Laowai, separated the crowd, and strided towards the open space in the distance.

"Is this armor?" Yu Changlin felt his head confused and blurted out his doubts. The big leaf iron armor that he had taken off the Rakshasa man a while ago was weird enough. Unexpectedly, the Governor could do something even more weird.

The large lotus leaf armor of the Rakshasa people can at least provide breast protection, belly protection, rib armor, shoulder protection and back protection. The five parts are included. The iron armor held in the hands of the governor are clearly two large iron plates that are clasped together, and there is no excessive or distinction between the parts.

"Half-body plate armor! It's most suitable for cavalry. If you are heavily equipped with infantry, you should also add leg guards and shin guards on your lower body." Zhu Bashiyi was busy, and he didn't look back and explained casually.

Note 1: Zixu, Wenzhong, Zixu's adviser during the Warring States Period. The former assisted the King of Wu to defeat the Chu State and achieve hegemony. The latter assisted Goujian to destroy the Wu State. Both of them were famous officials of the same generation, but they both died at the hands of their lords.
