Chapter 53: Shen Jiying (Please collect and read)
Shenji camp.

This was a force that Zheng Yi specially separated from the imperial guards and trained with modern methods and weapons.

There are very few people, only about a hundred, but each of them is elite.

The most important thing is... each of them is equipped with firearms!
These firearms were manufactured day and night by officials from the Ministry of Industry, including Zhan Liang and Lei Shitou, over the past few months.

For this purpose, Zheng Yi specially opened up a large factory in the suburbs of Beijing and arranged for the Imperial Guards and Jinyiwei to guard it.

Any craftsman entering or leaving must go through three inspection processes to ensure the secrecy is maintained.

And under Zheng Yi's instructions, that area has gradually been transformed into a large arsenal.

More than 20 sentry posts were added within a five-kilometer radius, and there were mobile patrols to ensure safety and secrecy.

Today, some of the finished products from the artillery factory have begun to be supplied to the Shenjiying.

Looking at Zhan Liang's report, Zheng Yi's mind was full of thoughts.

"I originally wanted to use the Shenji Camp to deal with Wuguo's Black Mountain Pass, but it seems I have to change my target first."

"Your Majesty! Now my arsenal can produce more than 150 thunderbolts every day, and one red cannon every ten days. We also have firearms such as the Divine Fire Sprayer and the Poison Dragon Divine Fire Sprayer."

Zheng Yi interrupted Zhan Liang and asked, "How much is the total inventory now?"

Zhan Liang thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there are more than 2,400 thunderbolts and five red cannons. There are more than 400 magic fire spray guns and poisonous dragon magic fire spray guns."

"It's just that due to metallurgical technology, the output of red cannons is very slow."

The Divine Fire Sprayer and the Poison Dragon Divine Fire Sprayer are another weapon developed by officials of the Ministry of Industry based on the characteristics of the Red Cannon and the Fiery Oil.

It looks like a red cannon that has been shrunk several times, but it actually contains gunpowder and kerosene, like a large-scale firework.

For example, the Poison Dragon Fire Spout is divided into five layers and is loaded with five poison pills. Its range is about ten feet, and anyone hit by it will die instantly.

This thing is equivalent to a copycat version of a "shotgun".

Not only that, Zheng Yi also specially set up a 'research and development fund.'

As long as someone in the Ministry of Industry can develop a highly lethal firearm, he or she will receive monetary rewards or even a promotion.

Just look, only about a month after the arsenal was built, several different types of artillery have been produced and are still under development.

It seems that human beings in every world are the same. Only war can stimulate the progress of scientific research and technology.

Gunpowder is also a kind of scientific research technology!
"enough."

Zheng Yi said succinctly: "You go down first and continue to speed up the artillery production at the arsenal."

"promise!"

After Zhan Liang left, Zheng Yi called Xiao Guizi again.

Today, Xiao Guizi is already a eunuch and is deeply trusted by Zheng Yi.

Two months ago, Chen Liancang discovered that Xiao Guizi had good talents and made an exception to recruit him into the Shadow Guard.

As such, he is already a third-rank warrior.

"Xiao Guizi."

Xiao Guizi immediately knelt on the ground: "I am here."

"How is your stay in the Shenji Camp?"

"Your Majesty, I am already familiar with the inside and outside of the Shenji Camp."

"very good."

Zheng Yi threw out a token and said, "This is the token of the Shenji Camp. Take them out to carry out a mission, and I will let the Jinyiwei cooperate with you."

"promise!"

Xiao Guizi took the token respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what my mission is..."

"Let's go to Wuzhou."

"Wuzhou?" Xiao Guizi's mind moved: "Yes!"

"Go down. Go find Ma Jinwu for the specific task. You two will work together."

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "If you do a good job on this mission, I intend to establish the East Factory. At that time, you will be the first supervisor of the East Factory."

Xiao Guizi's eyes suddenly lit up.

East Factory?

Although he didn't know what it was, he knew it must be very important since His Majesty valued it so much.

"Yes! Your Majesty, Xiao Guizi will definitely complete this mission beautifully!"

Xiao Guizi left quickly, but Zheng Yi's eyes became a little cold.

"Yujian Villa, Yujian Villa... A mere martial arts sect dares to sell weapons to the rebels for a small profit. They really deserve to die!" "The Royal Guards have found out that there is only one Grandmaster and two First-Class warriors in Yujian Villa. Who gave you the courage to go against me?"

……

half a month later.

Wuzhou, late at night, outside Yujian Villa.

More than a dozen figures suddenly appeared in the dense forest.

They were tall and short, old and young, male and female, and they were dressed differently, but all of them had fierce and cruel looks in their eyes.

"Hehehe... who was that I thought? Turns out to be the 'Black Cloud Twins' couple."

Suddenly, a voice sounded, and then an old man with white eyebrows suddenly looked at the couple on the left.

"I didn't expect that even you have become the court's lackeys!"

"Giggle..."

The woman laughed sweetly and said, "What hawks and dogs? They are all just trying to make money."

"The court offers a high price, so of course we have to work for it!"

"Is that so? Senior Baimei~"

"Ha ha……"

The white-browed old man sneered and said, "I am the golden medal priest of Dayu Temple. How can a mere Jinyiwei be qualified to transfer me?"

"Hospitality?"

"As expected of you, Senior Baimei. We can only work in the Imperial Guards, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

"Golden Arhat Chen Jingang, the three ghosts of Old Crow Valley, the Scarlet Snake Demoness, and the Demon Doctor of Green Valley..."

"These people are all well-known evil figures in the martial arts world. How come they were all recruited by the Great Yu court?"

"Hehehe... For a third-grade warrior, the Dayu court is willing to pay a monthly tribute of 500 taels, and will also give a generous reward for each mission, as well as the secret manuals of martial arts stored by the Dayu royal family."

"I wonder how many fellow martial artists are vying for this treatment..."

"Eh? Brother Lin, you're here too?"

More than ten people were talking in low voices, but since everyone had the same identity and had heard of each other's names, they quickly became familiar with each other.

Among this group of people, the old man with white eyebrows is naturally the majority.

The gold medalist of the Temple of Worship is a first-class warrior!
Someone asked, "Senior Baimei, why did the Jinyiwei ask us to gather at Yujian Villa?"

"Could this mission be Yu Jian Villa?"

"Although the overall strength of Yujian Villa is not strong, it is a group of blacksmiths after all. At least 20% of the people in the martial arts world are holding swords forged by them. This..."

"Yes, the Jinyiwei had the guts to attack Yujian Villa?"

"I'm not sure. As long as Yu Jian Villa sends out a distress message, it can summon at least thirty first-class experts and a senior from the Grandmaster Realm..."

Bai Mei shook his head and said, "Silence!"

"I have only received the mission to gather you all. I am waiting for the signal from Yu Jian Villa. Once I receive the signal, I will rush in."

"The order has been issued for this mission. You can loot as you please. Take away anything you can!"

"but……"

As the white-browed old man spoke, the eyes of the martial artists around him all became fiery.

Random looting?

Take away everything you can?

This……

As expected of the Great Yu court, so damn generous!

"But what? Senior White Eyebrow, please tell me!"

"You want to rob Yujian Villa with just a dozen of us? You're courting death!"

"You are stupid. There must be others besides us. Don't you see that none of the Jinyiwei are here?"

"That's right... I just saw Madam White and her mistresses. That lady is a powerful First-Rank Realm expert..."

The white-browed old man shook his head and coughed dryly, attracting the attention of a dozen people again.

"The higher-ups have given the order. You can take other things with you, but you must hand over the secret manuals on metallurgy and swordsmanship from Yu Jian Villa!"
