early morning.

As usual, Su Yuan went to work after practicing his inner strength. As soon as he arrived, he saw the information sent from Jiangnan on the table.

After taking it apart, there is only one content, that is, many important officials in Jiangnan have already contacted ships to go abroad and may flee at any time.

Not only important ministers, but the intelligence shows that even the Emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Cheng, seems to be preparing to flee with the help of Prime Minister He Zhongping recently.

Its target seems to be the Xifeng Kingdom. In the past few days, envoys from the Xifeng Kingdom can often be seen entering the palace.

After reading the information, Su Yuan also fell into thinking.

The emperor wants to run away too?

He could imagine that the minister would run away, but he never expected that the emperor would run away as well.

It was nothing to escape from the capital to Jiangnan before, but if you flee from Jiangnan to a foreign country again, does this mean you want to form an overseas government in exile?

Su Yuanxin thought, this is not just seeking death.

He didn't think those Westerners would have any sincere intentions. If Zhou Cheng fled there, he would probably be raised as a mascot, and he might not receive any treatment at all.

These Westerners put their interests first, and now Zhou Cheng is still somewhat useful because he is still the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty in name only, and he still has some people and territory under his command.

What else will happen when he goes overseas?

If he loses his use value, he will never end well overseas.

Su Yuan thought, should he stop it?

"It would be too hasty to send troops before we are fully prepared. Moreover, the monsoon is not favorable, and the risk of a large-scale expedition to sea is too high."

He calculated the pros and cons and gave up the idea of ​​going to war with the navy.

Simply to prevent the enemy from escaping, you risk confronting nature. If an accident occurs, the gain outweighs the loss.

And in his opinion, even if the Southern Zhou Dynasty headed by Zhou Cheng fled overseas, they would not be free for long.

After Su Yuan unified the north and south and completed the integration, the next step would be to find a way to get them back.

He even thought that there was no need to take action himself. Those overseas Western countries might even take the initiative to send people back to him.

The game in this is that, as an overseas Western country, will you cooperate with a Southern Zhou government-in-exile that has no important people and no land? Or will you cooperate with the Bei'an regime, which controls a large territory?

Normal people know how to choose, and the answer to Westerners who value interests is even more obvious.

At that time, Su Yuan would be stuck for a while, and he would impose a condition of "no trade will be carried out unless the people are sent back". It is estimated that the Western Kingdom will have to send the people back the next day.

This is a conspiracy, and Su Yuan is not worried about it.

From now October to the end of November, he will have to train hard during this period.

Military training is not just for the unification of Jiangnan, but also for the greater challenges after unification.

He knew very well that Dazhou only occupied a corner of this planet, and there was a wider world waiting for him to explore.

There are friends and enemies in that world. Only by cheering up and preparing your troops now can you gain an advantage in future wars.

The focus of military training is to gradually change your thinking.

At present, with the research and improvement of fire guns, Bei'an has been able to carry out large-scale manufacturing. Thousands of them can be produced every day.

In addition to firecrackers, more advanced short-handled matchlock guns are also under development, and the development of cannons has also made considerable progress.

When these are implemented in the army, the Bei'an Army's war logic will also change.

From ancient military formations to more modern battle modes, a change in thinking is essential.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yuan called for Tanya.

"Commander, do you have a mission for me?"

Tanya always looked full of energy and asked in high spirits as soon as she entered the door.

Su Yuandao: "There is indeed a mission. Tanya, I want you to be an instructor and train soldiers for me."

Tanya is not just a sharpshooter, her identity in Red Alert is a special operations captain! This means that she has a deep understanding of modern combat.

Now that she is alone and there are no other special forces members, her value will be reduced.

Now Su Yuan wants her to train a group of "special operations team members". These people have different positions from martial arts masters. Martial arts masters mainly use personal force, but special operations team members pay more attention to modern thinking and tactical coordination.

Hearing this, Tanya immediately nodded and said, "No problem! Commander, I can kill you at any time!"

"Okay, let's go to the Ministry of War now."

Su Yuan took this matter very seriously and immediately went to the Ministry of War Yamen with Tanya.

At the training ground, Su Yuan summoned several different types of soldiers and let Tanya make a choice.

When it came to the selection of special forces members, Su Yuan's first choice was to call in soldiers.

They are more capable of imposing orders and prohibitions, and after all, this is an experimental training, and there may be a lot of trouble using real soldiers.

After summoning many soldiers, Su Yuan originally thought that Tanya would choose the Xiliang Cavalry as members of the special force because they were taller and stronger.

In the end, Tanya chose the ship pawn.

"It's not enough for special operations soldiers if they are not proficient in water-based skills, and if they are too tall, they will not be good at camouflage." Tanya gave her reason, and Su Yuan thought it made sense.

Because it was an experimental training, Tanya only selected fifty people as team members for the first period.

She asked the fifty people to line up in several rows and lectured: "Starting from today, I will start a fourteen-day training for you, so that you can have a preliminary understanding of how the special operations team cooperates, infiltrates, disguises, and raids."

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

Tanya didn't say anything like "Whoever is lazy will be eliminated". After all, these are summoning soldiers, and no one will be lazy.

Unless they are selected from real soldiers, an elimination system will be introduced.

Su Yuan watched the training for a while. He originally planned to participate in it himself, but decided against it due to his busy work schedule.

After leaving the Ministry of War, he went to the Engineering Academy again.

The Engineering Academy was just established yesterday, and today there are many people carrying various tools and materials inside.

Su Yuan chatted with several engineers. According to them, with the knowledge stored in their brains and the resources currently available to them, they could develop several tools that can effectively improve productivity within a month.

As for higher-end technological tools, they require more time. Although they have many engineers, this kind of thing cannot be done overnight, and some materials are relatively scarce, even in the entire Bei'an.

For example, engineers proposed an important material: natural rubber.

This thing is used in many engineering creations, even indispensable, and cannot be replaced by other materials.

Natural rubber is currently not available in Bei'an.

Su Yuan also has some knowledge about natural rubber. He knows that in the world before he traveled, this thing was also a commodity and a strategic material.

According to engineers, natural rubber trees have a specific living environment and poor adaptability. In the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, they are probably only found in the tropical forests in the south of the Yangtze River and in the forests of several countries in South Vietnam.

Jiangbei, where the weather is cold and often windy, will not have a living environment for natural rubber trees.

This result made Su Yuan helpless.

I finally summoned engineers, but the materials were not available, which was really uncomfortable.

Moreover, the output of natural rubber is currently low, and Nanzhou does not pay attention to it at all. Even if Su Yuan wanted to purchase it, he would not be able to purchase it in a short time.

He thought to himself that he would have to wait until Jiangnan was conquered before he could get some rubber.

…

Tangjiabao has been uneasy recently.

It has been spread that there are foreign warriors provoking and killing Tang Sect disciples.

At first it was said that only twenty or thirty people died, but within a day or two, the number climbed again and doubled.

Up to now, it is said that fifty or sixty Tang Sect disciples have died in the hands of that mysterious warrior.

Even inner disciples!

On the ruthless slope of the outer castle, several outer disciples were carrying Cao Lou on their backs and holding wooden shovels, collecting herbs needed to make venom.

Several people were collecting and discussing the matter.

"I don't know what the origin of that person is, but he actually dares to kill so many disciples of our Tang Sect?"

"Yes, even Taiyi, the largest sect in the world, wouldn't dare to break up with the Tang Sect like this, right?"

"It can't be Tai Dao. Those bull-nosed Taoist priests are dedicated to cultivating immortality and will not go down the mountain easily."

"I heard that the adults in the inner fort were very angry. The fortress owner even ordered the murderer to be caught within seven days, and that he would be locked up in a secret room and tortured to death!"

One person said the words "secret room of the agency", and several others trembled all over.

As a disciple of the Tang Sect, there is no one who is not afraid of the secret room. As the name suggests, it is a secret room full of secrets and is specially used to punish erring disciples.

The mechanisms in the secret room are not lethal mechanisms, but torture mechanisms. For example, the nozzles of poisonous mist that can cause hallucinations are ejected, and the poisonous needle boxes that can cause paralysis and unbearable itching are ejected...

Being imprisoned in the secret room of the organization, for many Tang Sect disciples, it is better to kill them directly. Many disciples who have made serious mistakes are afraid of entering the secret room and directly commit suicide.

"I think the person should be caught soon." A disciple broke the silence, "The person in charge of the investigation this time is Senior Brother Tang Ming."

"Senior Brother Tang Ming is indeed very powerful. There were traitors in Tang Clan five years ago. It was Senior Brother Tang Ming who caught them, right?"

"That's right. But I also heard one thing." One person lowered his voice mysteriously, "I have a familiar inner sect brother. He told me that this time the castle master asked Tang Ming to take charge of this matter. I'm afraid there is something wrong.

Let him make meritorious deeds."

"Let him make meritorious deeds?"

"Yes. Senior Brother Inner Sect told me that many people in the Inner Sect now believe that Senior Brother Tang Ming may inherit the position of Lord of the Castle in the future."

The other disciples were shocked when they heard this: "How is this possible? The adopted son of the castle master...isn't Hall Master Tang Lin still alive?"

Outside Tangjiabao.

Nearby is Shenshui City. In an inconspicuous teahouse in the city, a middle-aged man with a neat beard and regular features went up to the second floor and opened a private door.
