Based on his experience from his previous life, Lu Zheng arrived in Kuncheng early and became involved with the Peng family. He used his own methods to expose the traitors around the Peng family's generals who were disloyal, and the Peng family discovered and dealt with them.
But that's only what he knows; what about what he doesn't know?
In their past life, Kuncheng was almost breached, and the women and children of the Peng family were captured. Their servants were definitely partly responsible for this.
However, when he arrived, the Peng family residence no longer existed.
He had already reminded General Peng and General Peng about this matter, but he didn't know who in the Peng family was in trouble, nor could he go to other people's homes to investigate.
Most of the servants in the Peng family were soldiers who had been wounded on the battlefield and retired from service. Some were bought by Madam Peng from human traffickers, while others were brought from the Peng family residence in the capital.
Lu Zheng couldn't make the decision on this matter; he could only leave it to General Peng and General Peng to be mindful of.
Xue Qianyu was silent for a moment, then said, "Second Uncle, the spies you sent might already be..."
Gu Shouxin remained silent.
How could he not have thought of this situation?
But there was nothing he could do.
Lu Zheng was silent for a moment: "Second Uncle, I want to recommend someone to you. Someone who successfully infiltrated the Kingdom of Lang."
Gu Shouxin looked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng said, “Xie Nanfeng. He used to be a spoiled young master. He spent four years in Kuncheng and his whole personality has changed. But he can change back to his old self. When the time comes, let him go further west to Langge Kingdom and then east, all the way to Langge Kingdom. That way, given Xie Nanfeng’s personality, the people in Langge Kingdom won’t suspect anything.”
Gu Shouxin asked, "In your opinion, with the current military strength of the Great Zhou, what are the chances of victory if we directly send troops against the Langge Kingdom?"
Lu Zheng shook his head: "There is a chance of winning, but the sacrifices will be great. Kun City, which Second Uncle built, may be reduced to its original state in an instant. More and more people are entering Kunzhou now. If we go to war with Langge Kingdom, even more innocent people of Great Zhou will be sacrificed."
Gu Shouxin pursed his lips and asked again, "What if we used the fireworks material that Niannian made last time in weapons?"
Lu Zheng was taken aback.
Xue Qianyu had the right to speak on this issue. He already knew the principle behind the fireworks from last time, so he said, "According to Lu Er's theory, if Nian Nian's fireworks materials could be used in weapons, then Kun City could definitely be defended."
Gu Shouxin nodded, understanding.
He didn't know the strength of Langge's army, but Lu Zheng did, so he wouldn't suggest a rash attack to the Emperor or the Peng family.
Lu Zheng had experience from his previous life. Gu Ren was the author of the original book. From this perspective, the Lange Kingdom had a strong and powerful army, but it did not have the things that Gu Nian had developed.
If this thing is used extensively on the battlefield, then the Great Zhou will be invincible.
Gu Shouxin had an idea.
...
The next morning, only Gu Nian and Gu Xin needed to do their morning exercise. Gu Yingxue and Xie Zhiyi hadn't arrived yet, so Gu Shouxin talked to Gu Nian about it.
Gu Nian was startled: "Father, are we really going to produce a large quantity? Should we report this to the Emperor first?"
Gu Shouxin: "Of course, you should. You start working on it first. Once you've finished one, I'll take it to see the Emperor. The Kingdom of Chuyun and the Kingdom of Shashen are nothing to fear, but the Kingdom of Langge is a bit troublesome."
Gu Shouxin also told his two daughters about Lu Zheng's plan to send Xie Nanfeng to Langge Kingdom.
If this product can be mass-produced next year, then it can be tested by the end of next year.
