Shuozhou at this moment.
Zhao Muyun stood on the newly reinforced city wall, listening to the intelligence gathered by Wang Tiezhu and Tang Yanhai:
The King of Jin pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, deliberately delaying;
Li Jingang proclaimed himself emperor and established his own rule over Xijing;
The capital was in panic and chaos. Yin Zhao and his ministers decided to move the capital south for a tour...
The great changes in the world are all under your sight.
There was no expression on his face, only his deep eyes flashed with a cold and wise light.
It’s messy, but not messy enough.
Only when the old order collapses completely can new forces emerge.
"Boss Zhao, the Tartars are at the gates of the city. The capital is in danger. Should we..."
Han Zhong stood aside with a worried look on his face.
Although he hated the court's stupidity, his loyalty to the emperor was deeply rooted.
Zhao Muyun slowly shook his head: "The capital has its own destiny."
"If we go now, it will be like a drop in the bucket, and it will also destroy the strength that Shuozhou has managed to preserve with great difficulty."
"What's more, if we move, Wuliangha, King Zhelan, King Loufan, Timur and others will definitely move as well."
He turned around and glanced at Han Zhong, Tang Yanhai and others:
"Our roots lie in the five states of Shuo, Yin, Wei, Yan, and Xia. Only by maintaining this foundation and strengthening ourselves will we have the right to speak in the future and the power to conquer the world!"
"Han Sima."
"exist!"
"The Shuozhou Army has suffered heavy casualties after a hard battle and is in urgent need of rest and replenishment."
"You are to take full responsibility for this matter. Reorganize the troops, treat the wounded, comfort the soldiers' families, and strengthen the city's defenses."
"At the same time, send out a small group of elite troops to continuously harass the Tartars in Wuzhou City, so that they will not have peace. However, be careful not to engage in a prolonged battle."
"The armies of Tian Qing and Lin Feng also acted in this way."
"I obey your command!"
"Tang Yanhai."
"Here!" Tang Yanhai responded loudly.
"You will personally lead the team, holding my warrant, and as quickly as possible, secretly escort Lu Zhizi and all other skilled craftsmen, as well as the backbone personnel familiar with the operation of the thunder bomb, to the Yanzhou Valley! No mistakes are allowed!"
Tang Yanhai was stunned: "Boss Zhao, are they all going to Yanzhou? What about Shuozhou?"
"Shuozhou will focus on maintaining stability for the time being."
Zhao Muyun interrupted him, "The affairs of Yanzhou concern the future!"
"There, I'll upgrade and modify the 'Sky-Shattering Bomb' and develop a firearm with greater lethality and greater ease of use! That's the foundation of our future!"
His eyes were blazing. "Once the new firearms are ready and the elite Shenji Battalion is trained, then neither the Tartar cavalry nor the chaos in the Central Plains will be a threat."
Everyone was cheered up when they heard this.
They have witnessed the power of the "Sky-shaking Bomb" with their own eyes. If it can be upgraded again as Zhao Muyun said, what will the scene be like?
"Understood! I'll do it right away!" Tang Yanhai took the order excitedly and left.
Beneath Shuozhou's brief calm lies an undercurrent of preparation and transfer.
Tang Yanhai personally selected a team of absolutely loyal and fast-footed elite scouts, and with Zhao Muyun's order, set off overnight to Yinzhou, Xiazhou and other places to invite the important craftsmen named by Zhao Muyun.
at the same time.
Zhao Muyun and Han Zhong readjusted the defense of Shuozhou.
The troops that had experienced the bloody battle were mixed and reorganized for rest and recuperation, the wounded were given priority treatment, and the repair of the city walls and armaments continued day and night.
To the outside world, Shuozhou still showed an attitude of being seriously injured and barely defending itself. There were sparse flags on the city walls and the patrols seemed "listless."
But internally, a new defense system based on the "thunder and fire" tactics is being quietly constructed under the leadership of Han Zhong.
The remaining "thunder bombs" and "hand grenades" were concentrated and distributed to form a special "mine-throwing team" under the unified command of the deputy captain of the Shenji Battalion, who practiced the timing and coordination of throwing day and night.
Zhao Muyun himself rarely goes out and spends most of his time in a secret room with all kinds of drawings in front of him.
Relying on the memories of his previous life and the technological conditions of this era, he outlined a blueprint for more advanced firearms.
A few days later, Tang Yanhai rushed back exhausted.
Behind him followed a seemingly ordinary convoy, but the carriages were heavy and heavily guarded.
Dozens of the top craftsmen, including Lu Zhizi, and their families were "invited" over.
At first, the craftsmen were terrified and didn't know where they would be taken.
Lu Zhizi was extremely calm.
When they were sent to the secret valley in Yanzhou and saw Zhao Muyun who was safe and sound, and the simple but imaginative "R&D workshop", most of them were surprised and faintly excited.
Especially when they learned that they would be involved in improving the famous "Sky Thunder", they were even more eager to try.
Zhao Muyun didn't exchange too many pleasantries and directly distributed some of the finished drawings and improvement requirements.
The focus is on further optimization of the gunpowder ratio, large-scale and stable production of gunpowder, iron shell casting to replace ceramic pots, and the development of more reliable fuses.
He divided the craftsmen into several groups, assigned each group their own duties, and promised them generous rewards.
The Yanzhou Valley suddenly turned into a bustling and heavily guarded military industrial base.
The clanging of iron hammers, the sound of millstones grinding herbs, and the occasional muffled sound of failed experiments continued day and night.
…
Just as Zhao Muyun was concentrating on "climbing the technology tree", the situation in the world was deteriorating at an alarming rate.
On the other side of the capital, Zuo Xian Wang's 90,000 cavalry were not in a hurry to cross the river.
They were like experienced hunters, playing with their dying prey.
Small groups of cavalry continued to cross the river, harassing the capital area, burning, killing and looting, further exacerbating the panic in the capital.
