Chapter 541: Soldiers leave

PS: Three chapters today, make up tomorrow
June 27th.
The weather in Qingzhou is getting hotter, but under the blazing sun, the transportation team under the Qingzhou Army is still busy.
Today the transport team received an order from Niu Ben to transport flintlocks and ammunition from the military workshop to Yizhou. This batch of munitions was prepared for the attack on Pengzhou City.
The transport team was followed by thirty-six field guns. Sixteen of these field guns belonged to six-pound field guns, and twenty belonged to siege field guns. Dragged by the horses, the artillery followed the guns to the south. go with.
On the Qingzhou Wharf, the three Galen warships also set sail southward at this time, and the war against Pengzhou City is unfolding in full swing.
"It's been more than a month, and it's finally time to do it."
Standing at the bow of the ship, Lu Fei had a pleasant expression. He had been training for this period of time. The days were boring and boring. Now that the fighting is together, he finally has his spirits.
Luo Xin did not go with the artillery this time, but was also going to go south with the Galen ship. He said: "If Pengzhou City is captured this time, who do you think your Highness will hand over the military affairs of Pengzhou City?"
"What? What do you think?" Lu Fei squinted at Luo Xin.
Rolling his eyes, Luo Xin said: "Hey, I know you have this idea. Don't worry, I won't fight with you. The land we want to lay down in the future is huge."
"You can't compete with me. Your Highness has said that this time Pengzhou City will let me be the governor of Pengzhou. Hehe, after having been with your Highness for so long, I will finally be promoted." Lu Fei was very emotional.
In the past three years, he has done a lot of meritorious service and committed a lot of crimes.
He didn't think about these things, but after the Chang'an Rebellion, every general of the Qingzhou Army had an idea in his heart.
Although Xiao Ming has not proclaimed himself emperor now, he is already the emperor in their hearts. The only thing they lack is the real power to unify the great Yu country.
Therefore, they all yelled to fight one by one. This expansion of territory is a great achievement. In the future, they will definitely be rewarded by meritorious deeds, and their reputation will last forever.
This time he led the attack on Pengzhou City and envied many lieutenant generals, staring at his command authority with red eyes.
"Hmph, now when you are proud, let you beg me during the war." Luo Xin raised his brows.
When Lu Fei heard this, he grinned, and he said, "Luo Xin, we have been born and died together for two years. You can't hold back this time."
Just after speaking, Lu Fei's light suddenly saw someone approaching him. He turned his face, but it was Xiao Ming who got on the boat.
"Your Highness, are you going to Yizhou too?"
Lu Fei and Luo Xin walked towards Xiao Ming, with some excitement between their words.
"Yes, this king is worried that you will make trouble on the battlefield, and is going to personally supervise." Xiao Ming said seemingly unintentionally.
Lu Fei said aggrieved, "His Royal Highness, you are still worried about the end."
Xiao Ming laughed at this time. He said: "This king is just joking. Dudu Niu and this king said that you will not have a problem leading the army alone now. This battle of Pengzhou is very important. This king specially came to see you. To boost the morale of the soldiers."
Lu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, you can't hold the head of the general Pengzhou City to come to see you."
"Your head is too big. This king has used it as a chamber pot and has no place to put it, so you can keep it for yourself." Xiao Ming stared at Lu Fei, and these words became a catch phrase for him.
This time, Luo Hong and other soldiers from the firearms battalion flew with Lu. The three battleships were filled with these soldiers.
Originally, Xiao Ming also wanted to go to Yizhou to supervise the battle, but the information sent by Li San in the past two days was a bit complicated, and he needed to discuss with Fiji and others.
Xiao Ming got on the battleship, which made the soldiers exhilarated. In the past, when a feudal prince personally came to see him off when he went to war.
These soldiers from Chang'an only heard that Xiao Ming was very friendly before, but now they see it.
After talking to Lu Fei a few words, Xiao Ming no longer paid attention to him. Instead, he boarded three battleships and greeted the soldiers. Xiao Ming's actions made the soldiers more motivated.
"All soldiers, on the day when Pengzhou City is broken, this king will personally go back and put a celebration wine for you all." Faced with a group of ordinary and lovely soldiers, Xiao Ming said loudly.
"My glory is loyalty!" The Qingzhou Army soldier immediately shouted loudly.
Luo Hong was taken aback, and he also shouted: "My glory is loyalty!"
Looking at the enlisted soldiers with high morale, Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction, and said to Lu Fei, "Let's go."
"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Fei replied.
After getting off the ship, Xiao Ming watched as the three warships set sail from the dock and gradually disappeared at the end of the river.
At this time, the figure of Fiji appeared behind Xiao Ming, and he also looked at the warship that was going away. He said: "His Royal Highness, the messenger of King Chu said that King Chu is willing to form an alliance with us and divide the country equally in the future. I don't know what your Highness wants?"
The reason why Xiao Ming didn’t go to Yizhou this time was because of the messenger of King Chu. After he and King Wei completely collapsed, I don’t know whether King Chu got the news, or the King had a plan. The messenger is here.
At that time, he was working with Song Changping in the military workshop to deliver the produced flintlocks to the Qingzhou Army. After learning the news, he asked Fiji to contact the Chu King’s messenger first.
"What do you think of Feizhongshu?" Xiao Ming said.
"His Royal Highness, the veteran said something that makes His Highness unhappy. For the past month, the veteran has been dealing with the government affairs of the country with Pang Yukun. In the view of the veteran, even if his highness has the advantage of guns and artillery, he cannot dominate the country alone~EbookFREE.me~ Fiji said.
After a pause, he continued: "From the account book, it is only steel, muskets, artillery, ammunition, and gunpowder that make the government consume a lot of money. If it is not refilled in time, I am afraid that in the future soldiers will encounter the dilemma of guns but no bullets. , And the reason for all of this is because of the chaos in the world, the cut off business roads, and the inability of various materials in Dayu to reach Qingzhou. If things go on like this, how can Your Highness unify the north? Your Highness, don’t forget the barbarians on the grassland, they have been watching Your Highness."
Fiji’s meaning already understood very well. He was not surprised that the king of Chu sent an envoy this time, because he still had more than half of the artillery in the artillery trade between him and the king of Chu that had not been delivered. Up.
"Do you mean to continue trading with the Chu King?" Xiao Ming asked.
"His Royal Highness, those who make important things do not stick to the trivial. If His Royal Highness wants to obtain the northern rivers and mountains, he must cooperate with the King of Chu. In this way, both the grain and the ore have a source, and the merchandise of His Highness also has a place to sell, no ?"
Xiao Ming nodded, having to say that Fiji's words fit his mind. He really needs a stable sales place, otherwise Qingzhou's industry will be over.
