The Jingzhou Army Camp in Shexian County.

Since Lin Chunhong divided the shield chariot and tiger squat cannons from the chariot camp into the chariot camp, he has renamed the chariot camp to Pili camp, retaining dozens of capable gunners and some logistics personnel to specialize in the red-clothed cannons.

Ling Su was very unhappy and clamored in Lin Chunhong's ears every day.

On this day, Lin Chunhong and Cheng Shu were patrolling the camps. Ling Su followed him like a shadow and said, "General, the red cannon has not been delivered yet. The soldiers have nothing to do except to bury their muscles and bones every day. If this continues, their morale will be slackened!"

Lin Chunhong had heard this sentence many times, and his ears had already been called into contact with him. He said without looking back: "Zhang Zhao will be here at most three days, and you will be busy at that time!"

Ling Su followed Lin Chunhong's footsteps and said, "But the red-clothed cannon is extremely bulky. In the future war, how can our Pili Camp keep up with the pace of the brothers?"

Lin Chunhong stopped, looked back at Ling Su, and said, "A red-clothed cannon can cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. If you fire a gun, you may go out for a few hundred taels of silver. Isn't that a waste of money to fight with Buying?"

These words made Ling Su feel a little cold. If the Pili Camp cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, how can he achieve military achievements?

He sighed and said, "I know that the general hopes to use the Pili camp to attack the city and siege, but the bandits are currently wandering everywhere, so where are there cities and camps?"

Lin Chunhong patted Ling Su on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I'm already considering the purpose of Pili Camp. Everything has to be considered for the long term, and no one can guarantee that the bandits will keep wandering. Besides, we may have to go north to fight the Tartars one day!"

Lin Chunhong's praise did not make Ling Su proud. He said sadly: "To be honest, the general decided to transfer the tiger squat cannons and shield carts into the camp. I did feel a knot in my heart, but after the drill, the command was indeed smoother than before. I have no objection to this. What I am mainly worried about now is what role the Pili Camp can play. The brothers below are more accurate than the other, and they practice hard on weekdays. If it is not useful, the brothers will inevitably be resentful!"

Lin Chunhong nodded and said, "I know your difficulties. What do you think about Pili Camp at the moment? Just say it casually, don't worry!"

Ling Su blurted out: "The red-clothed cannon has a range of five miles, and it is of course a powerful tool for siege. If it is used to assist the brothers in the siege, it can be called a killing knife. At present, we lack a cannon with a range of between 300 and 100 steps. This kind of cannon should fire fast and be very light. In this way, it can kill and damage the enemy within three hundred steps. No matter how many enemies there are, what can I do to me?"

Lin Chunhong was happy to hear it and clapped his hands: "This opinion is good, it's great. This kind of cannon Bangtai is already being tested. The progress is pretty good. In the future, the Pili Camp will play the role of the God of War!"

Ling Su was stunned when he heard the God of War and shouted excitedly: "Yes, we should be the God of War, haha, God of War, brothers, I wonder what kind of excitement you will be when you hear this test language!"

Lin Chunhong said: "The God of War is not a kaoyu. You will indeed be the leader of the future war. Think carefully. There are many things that Pili Camp can do, it depends on whether you do it!"

Ling Su smiled and said with a proud face: "General, can you equip us with some military equipment? Our Pili Battalion is easily attacked by enemy cavalry and has no protective ability at all. It is best to send warriors in plate armor!"

Lin Chunhong laughed and scolded: "You boy, you ask for so much! Are you talking about heavy infantry? Heavy infantry can indeed resist the impact of cavalry, but this will never be equipped for Pili Battalion. You can only focus on artillery, do everything, do nothing! The protection of artillery will be considered, you don't have to worry!"

...

The two were just talking happily when they suddenly ordered soldiers to report that Lu Shiming, a juren from Yanzhou, Shaanxi, was looking for a meeting outside the camp.

Lin Chunhong was puzzled. The juren from Yanzhou ran to Shexian to see him. What was the matter? His glorious image had already been spread to three sides. Although Lin Chunhong did not walk backwards to greet him, he did not dare to slacken at all and respectfully welcomed Lu Shiming into the central army's tent.

When Ling Su saw Lu Shiming shaking the goose feather fan, he pointed to the east and west when he spoke, as if he was pointing to the country, he couldn't help but smile secretly. Cheng Si and Yu Yaoer also had rich expressions and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

But Lin Chunhong's expression was normal. After welcoming Lu Shiming in, the two of them sat down. Lin Chunhong asked first: "From Yanzhou to Shexian, the road is not stable. Can you ask if the journey is going smoothly?"

Lu Shiming patted the back of his hand with a goose feather fan, pretending to be arrogant and said: "In the second year of Chongzhen, he set out from Yanzhou and wandered with Luo Rucai in most of Shaanxi..."

The guards were shocked and jumped to cut Lu Shiming's hands back, making him unable to move at all.

Lin Chunhong stood up suddenly and sneered: "Do you want to try my Lin Chunhong's knife fast?"

Lu Shiming's face was not changed and his heart was not beating. He laughed and said, "The general's horse-knitting sword is extremely sharp, I have already learned about it!"

Lin Chunhong said angrily: "You have been taught by the saint but committed to the thief. What can you say? Drag it out and cut it off!"

Ning Dian and Yu Ze did not hesitate, pulled Lu Shiming out and dragged him out. Lu Shiming struggled a few times and said loudly: "It is easy for generals to kill Shiming, but it is difficult to gain a foothold in troubled times. Does the general want to block the path of talented people to serve?"

Lin Chunhong sneered: "There are many talented people in the world, why don't you cherish a bandit?"

Seeing that he was about to be dragged out of the tent, Lu Shiming shouted: "Don't you hear that a thousand golds are buying horse bones?"

Lin Chunhong was stunned for a moment and shouted to the guards: "Let him go!"

The guard let go of Lu Shiming. Lu Shiming picked up the fan on the ground and put it in his hands, chatting and laughing calmly: "The general wants to try Shiming's courage. Is it possible to use this method? I am disdainful to talk about some small things. What I plan is to change the world. I wonder if the general is willing to listen to it?"

Lin Chunhong was thinking that Lu Shiming was in a strange manner and arrogant manner, and he followed Luo Rucai for many years to rebel. Maybe he had a little bit of a thing in his stomach. No matter what, he would first listen to his words and observe his actions.

Therefore, Lin Chunhong said cautiously: "What Cao Cao and Luo Ru do is a great thing to change the world. Why don't you tell him what you don't say to the following small character?"

Lu Shiming showed a contemptuous look and said, "What's the point of a bandit in the world?"

Lin Chunhong tentatively said: "Since the second year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi and Shanxi have been messed up by the people who have become reborn. There are many capable people among the people who have become reborn, and they have made such a huge noise, such as Luo Rucai, Wang Ziyong, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang... can be described as a hero for a while!"

Lu Shiming curled his lips and said, "The so-called heroes and heroes are born in time. In different eras, doing the same thing may be called heroes or heroes! The general believes that Luo Rucai and others have acts of heroes or heroes?"

Lin Chunhong was silent and became cruel and easy to kill, which brought endless disasters to the people of the three provinces. It is indeed difficult to call him a hero or hero.

Seeing Lin Chunhong silent, Lu Shiming said, "What can we do if we are cruel and easy to kill? Even if we have strong soldiers and horses, we will eventually be a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water!"

Lu Shiming's words made Lin Chunhong nod and asked: "Sir, staying in Luo Rucai Camp for many years, I wonder what the comments are on the rebel leader?"

Lu Shiming's answer is very simple: "Luo Rucai is good at planning without decision, Gao Yingxiang is unrestrained, Li Zicheng is tenacious, and Zhang Xianzhong is cruel... These people have another common characteristic, which is short-sightedness!"

Lin Chunhong heard this and smiled and said, "Sir, look down on any of them, but followed Luo Rucai for thousands of miles. How can I solve this problem?"

Lu Shiming said sadly: "The city of Yanzhou was broken that day and his family died tragically. Shiming was carried by the riots, fearing death, and left his life to this day. Luo Rucai was still quite polite to me, so he followed him until now!"

A few simple words made Lin Chunhong feel sorry for him. Alas, between the rise and fall, the only suffering of the people!

Lin Chunhong asked: "According to Mr.'s words, the leader of the civilians is short-sighted. Wouldn't the court be able to calm down by turning around? Why is the troubles going to this day?"

Lu Shiming returned to his arrogant look and replied with a sigh: "The great change of the people is not because of the superior ability of the leader, but because of the court! The famine cannot be relieved, the local officials are greedy, and the temple only cares for personal gain. It would be strange if such a court does not have any problems!"

These words made Lin Chunhong nod.

Lin Chunhong's nod made Lu Shiming even more proud and continued: "Take this battle of Wueryu for example, if the court can appoint ministers from the side, unify the power of the matter, and let Zuo Liangyu guard Wueryu, the general secretly tramples behind him, and at the same time, he ordered Cao Wenzhao to attack him from the south, Luo Rucai would not have fled to Lin County, Zhili. Shiming would probably die in Wueryu!"

Lu Shiming's words made Lin Chunhong secretly ashamed. This time, he pretended to be Cao Wenzhao and rushed to attack Luo Rucai. To put it bluntly, don't you want to seize the merits? Although Luo Rucai's strength is damaged, what can I do?

Lu Shiming observed his expression and smiled and said, "The general does not need to be ashamed of himself. What can the general do if even the general cannot do? It is said that the court has been arguing about the establishment of the governor of the three provinces for a long time, and finally sent an internal minister to supervise the army. This is the way to defeat."

Lin Chunhong said: "I look at the generals of the court and are all knowledgeable about military affairs. They are a talent for a while, not to mention the three-sided governor Hong Yanyan, and the famous master Lu Jiandou is a master of men. How do you think of it?"

Lu Shiming smiled and said, "Zuo Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao and other generals are indeed good at fighting. Shiming has a deep understanding. How can they be the only one in the court? Today's court must not be able to use it well, and it's better not to talk about it. Hong Yan's courage and strategy are outstanding, but his pattern is narrow and he harms his neighbors. Even if he is prominent for a while, he will not be able to accomplish anything! Lu Jian beats the literati and his military talents, but he is not aware of flexibility and his prospects are greatly limited!"

Lin Chunhong said: "In the eyes of the gentleman, there are no heroes in today's world?"

Lu Shiming smiled and said, "Yes, there is one in front of him!"

Lin Chunhong was shocked and said, "What kind of virtue is that boy? Is it so important for the gentleman?"

Lu Shiming laughed and said, "Lu Su said back then that in today's world, not only the king chooses ministers, but also the ministers chooses kings! Shiming did not find out clearly, and would never come to surrender rashly!" After saying that, he threw away the fan in his hand and said loudly: "I have been installing for several years and have long disliked this fan. Today, he tests the general. Shiming thinks that the general is the wise ruler, and Zhu Chuyu is not wrong!"

Immediately afterwards, he took out a letter and handed it to Lin Chunhong.

Lin Chunhong opened it and found that it was Zhu Zhiyu's recommendation letter, which praised Lu Shiming, saying that Lu Bingchun had a million soldiers in his belly and looked at the world's strategy. Although he was a thief, he was actually a genius in the world. I hope the general would use it well. After reading it, Lin Chunhong bowed solemnly and said, "Sir, why didn't you take out this letter earlier? Chunhong almost passed by her!"

Lu Shiming was frankly treated with a great gift and said with a smile: "Zhu Chuyu said it was actually exaggerated, and I was embarrassed to take it out just now. The reason why Shiming wasted his time in Luo Rucai's army is waiting for the Ming Lord! He received a letter from Chu Yu three months ago and was waiting for the general. It happened to be against the general a few days ago. The general was brave and good at planning, which made Shiming see a good show!"

Lin Chunhong said modestly: "Chunhong and Jingzhou soldiers are both newbies on the battlefield, which makes the teacher laugh! Chunhong is currently in a low position, how can he enable the teacher to perform his talent?"

Lu Shiming smiled and said, "The low position is not a problem, and the young soldier is not a problem. The mind and courage are the key. What's more, the general has explored a way in Jingzhou, which made Shiming admire him! The first thing that the general attracts Shiming is to be down-to-earth and never put hope on the court in everything. Shiming has been committed to the bandit for more than four years and has long lost confidence in the court!"

...

The two of them had a long conversation, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. Lin Chunhong happened to be short of a talented man, and immediately appointed Lu Shiming as the head of the military office, leading the military to formulate a combat plan and check for omissions.

Lu Shiming suffered a tragic change in his family and stayed in the thief's nest for several years. He was very frank about any ethics. What's more, Lu Shiming had no recognition of the court, and his views on the political situation of the court were more objective, and he even had a taste for Lin Chunhong. On this day, the two were discussing the government affairs, and his subordinates reported that Zhang Zhao had arrived in the camp and was waiting for the reception.

Lin Chunhong was overjoyed and said to Lu Shiming: "Let's go and welcome our Bangtai water general with me!"

Lu Shiming had heard about Zhang Zhao for a long time and said with a smile: "He is a water bandit, I am Lu Kou, and the two of them are just as good as the other ones!"

Lin Chunhong laughed.

After the test of the artillery was over, it was almost Xu, and only Lin Chunhong, Zhang Zhao and Lu Shiming were left in the tent.

Zhang Zhao said some irrelevant words and glanced at Lu Shiming from time to time. Lu Shiming knew very well and knew that Zhang Zhao had some secrets and needed to report to Lin Chunhong, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Don't leave, please help me think about it. Zhang Zhao, tell me, Master Lu can tell you everything in detail, otherwise how can I plan the battle?"

Zhang Zhao apologized to Lu Shiming and reported to Lin Chunhong about the looting on the river.

At present, Li Mengshen's fleet has expanded to eight ships, and its range of activities has even arrived in Songjiang Prefecture. Because Hui merchants dominate the cargo transfer rights in Jiangnan, plundering has a great blow to Hui merchants. However, Hui merchants are very sensitive. They immediately discovered that the centipede ship never plunders the three-masted sailboat, which has set off a crazy wave of buying the three-masted sailboat. Qin Bangding's orders had been scheduled for three years later.

Now some Hui merchants have begun to suspect that the robbery of centipede ships came from Bailizhou and sent many detailed works to Bailizhou to investigate, but they were arrested by the Security Bureau. But after all, the paper cannot keep the fire. If this continues, it will sooner or later be noticed by outsiders. The Pavilion has discussed this issue specifically. Zhu Zhiyu insisted on stopping the robbery immediately, but was firmly opposed by others. Now Li Mengshen paid 50,000 taels of silver in a month. Everyone knows the taste and cannot bear the profit.

Moreover, robbery had the intention of training troops. Zhou Wang did not care about money, but he firmly opposed anything that interfered with the strength of the army.

After hearing this, Lu Shiming couldn't help but say, "Isn't it enough to let Li Mengshen treat the three-masted sailboat equally and rob a few?"

Zhang Zhao thought to himself that Lu Shiming was indeed a landslide and did not know about water combat. He explained immediately: "The three-masted sailboat ship has a high and strong body, and it has more than 300 sailors. Although our centipede ship has cannons, it is small and has no choice but to do anything to the three-masted sailboat. Moreover, it is very difficult to log in when climbing the string combat. After logging in, there is not enough manpower and may not be able to beat it."

Lu Shiming knew that Zhang Zhao was misunderstood and did not think it was offended. He laughed and said, "If you can plunder other people's ships, can you plunder yourself?"

Lin Chunhong and Zhang Zhao were overjoyed, and both thought this method was good. Especially Zhang Zhao, who respected Lu Shiming more. After all, he had been in a thief's nest for several years, and had no burden to use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and even his appetite. Unlike Zhu Zhiyu, he was not accustomed to any unjust acts.

Lin Chunhong immediately made a decision to ask Bangtai Business Transport Department to sing a play with Li Mengshen.
