"Do you need three armies to prepare for war?"

Xianglian was stunned for a moment. She thought Zhao Xu would calm down for a while. After all, she had just occupied the city of Bosaro. If the war was going on for the outside world now, she would be a little worried about Bosaro's stability.

"Master Xu, this..."

She wanted to talk about her thoughts, but Fatini was there, but Xianglian shut up again. She frowned slightly, expressing her intention to talk to Zhao Xu alone.

"Master Xu, I'll go to other floors to see, you know the whole palace..."

Fatini was obviously good at observing her expressions and hurriedly saluted Zhao Xu. After getting his consent, she hurriedly left. Looking at her back, Xianglian told herself in her heart.

"This is a woman with a wink, and she is also a scheming woman. Such a woman... I hope she won't be an enemy! It would be quite troublesome to have such a woman as an enemy!"

Xianglian recalled the process of her confrontation with Shi Shi. In order to defeat Shi Shi, the methods she used were not very bright. Although it was a victory in the end, the lost left a deeper scar in her heart. When Fatini's figure disappeared, Xianglian took back her gaze and told Zhao Xu about her thoughts.

"Master Xu, we have just occupied Bosaro. I am afraid that our foothold will not be stable. If we send troops in hastily, it will cause unstable momentum. Now we have left Yulin Village. If we lose again here, Master Xu, then we..."

Zhao Xu was originally a little unhappy because of Xianglian's different opinions, but when he listened to Xianglian's words carefully, he felt something was wrong. Therefore, he threw the unhappiness in his heart aside and explained it to Xianglian.

"Xianlian, I understand your concerns. What I said is that the three armies should prepare for war, the wounded soldiers should be cured, the new soldiers should be trained, and the veterans should be rewarded. Moreover, after the battle of Bosaro, I found that we could make many new firearms. All these things must be done and we will not go to war for a while. But Xianglian, think about it, Bahayi, the governor of Bosaro, is willing to lose this city? So what if he counterattacks? And there are more than ten other cities in Bosaro, so what if these cities collectively attack? Xianglian, I am so anxious, I can't help but not."

When Zhao Xu expressed his concerns, Xianglian realized that his eyes were shorter. He only saw the stability of Bosaro City, but if he looked a little further, he would find that Zhao Xu thought much more than he thought. After all, only by occupying the entire Bosaro can he have enough money and resources to arm his army. Only by occupying Bosaro can he compete with Zhao Fubo's power in the Zhao family.

"Master Xu, I..."

Xianglian was about to say a few words of sorry, but Zhao Xu stopped her, and Zhao Xu's words below made Xianglian warmer her heart.

"No, don't call yourself a slave again in the future. If other women in the palace call themselves like this, you don't have to. Just call me "me". As for what to call you in the future..."

Zhao Xu kept it a secret and stopped talking. In his mind, this was a little trick. Draw a big bag of cakes for Xianglian, so that she could use all her intelligence and talents.

"Okay, stop talking about those things. What's important now is how our gunpowder should be made. This city of Bershall is not all our people. If they knew the formula of gunpowder, I was worried..."

Of course, what Zhao Xu was worried about was not that they were for sale, but that there would inevitably be people in the city of Bosaro to be concerned about Bahayi. If this is the case, Bahayi, the governor of Bosaro, had a recipe for gunpowder, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not have made a thunderbolt cannon, but then it would be a big trouble.

Xianglian had already explained his questions to him, and when she heard his worries, she just smiled.

"Master Xu, I... I thought of a solution. We handed over saltpeter and charcoal to Yulin Village to do it, and asked them to find it, make it into powder and then send it. We will find the sulfur ourselves. In this way, even if others know the sulfur but don't know the other two things, they will not be able to match gunpowder. This is the skill I learned in the Chinese medicine shops in Huangsha City. The secret recipes in their hands are so confidential!"

Zhao Xu felt relieved after hearing Xianglian's words. The way he thought was to form a craftsman camp, so that if the craftsman centralized management would not be easy for others to know.

"Well, it's so good. You just need to transport gunpowder. We burn the porcelain ourselves and match the gunpowder ourselves. But the people here don't know the West. The people in Yulinzhuang know the West, but they don't know how to build firearms. Xianglian, it's a great blessing to have you by my side!"

Zhao Xu's words warmed Xianglian's heart again. Even when she faced the palace in front of her, the darkness in her heart became brighter. Although it would take some time to completely dissipate, if Zhao Xu often warmed her so much, then in the future, Xianglian might be able to forget these things, but can she really forget them?

In the following days, with the help of Xianglian, Zhao Xu threatened the prisoners to sell them into slaves, his 30,000 army was built in a very short time without any difficulties. Not only that, his "Pi Li Cannons?" also increased a lot, because there were originally many spare parts for stone throwers in the warehouse in Bosaro City. With a slight change, it could be transformed into "Pi Li Cannons".

At the same time, the raindrop cannons have been added by more than 30 with the efforts of craftsmen. After Zhao Xu completed the preparations, he owned a total of 50 cannons. There were also specialized shells for climbing the city. There was also a newest shell, but a kind of fire thunder bomb. This was observed by Zhao Xu during the siege of Bosaro.

That is, the asphalt bomb is made of "Pi Li Cannon". Ordinary asphalt bombs are loaded in porcelain jars, filled with lamp oil, and then thrown out after ignition. In this way, the asphalt bombs will not be broken, but will then explode due to high temperature. Although the impact of this explosion is not strong, the scattered flames are just like the legendary "Ming Zi Fire Rain".

At this point, Zhao Xu's army using firearms was first formed, and these Arab Empire had a lot of influence at this time. Baghdad Caliph Mustasin and Azam Tulansha, the leader of "Glory of Imam", were worried that Zhao Xu would use these weapons to attack them. Secondly, would Zhao Xu sell these things to others, so how should he deal with him?
