"Get up." When only she and Xiao Shizhu were left in the hall, the ghost mother slowly stood up, walked slowly down the high platform, stood in front of Xiao Shizhu, looked at him with a half-smile, and said: "It's better to
Say you feel comfortable kneeling on the ground?".
"You are quite smart. You have a minister who has just finished arguing with me to check and balance me." Xiao Shizhu stood up slowly, bent down and rubbed his knees, saying: "It's okay to let Qiu Shuang be the supervisor, but
She doesn’t know how to fight, how can she help me?”
"I have no intention of letting Qiu Shuang check you, so feel free to go ahead and fight. It's just that she's too bookish, so there's nothing wrong with letting her practice with you. And as long as you don't lose, she will never interfere with your command.
"The ghost mother looked at the displeasure on Xiao Shizhu's face and smiled slightly: "Don't be unhappy. I know that if I want you to do something, you will definitely tell me a lot of conditions. In exchange, as long as your conditions are not too excessive.
Yes, I agree. But Qiu Shuang must be the supervisor of the army, and I cannot refute this."
"You still understand me, then I will start negotiating terms with you! The first thing is that when Lu Wuying recruits them, they must join me in the war, and you are not allowed to interfere. Especially Lu Wu, he is also good at water fighting and knows how to fight.
Sea Fengxin, this is a great treasure in naval warfare." Xiao Shizhu immediately put away his displeasure and blurted out with a smile: "In addition, you only need to give me five thousand sergeants, and I will take the remaining one thousand sergeants.
Expand the army yourself." Judging from what he blurted out, it seemed that these conditions had been thought out in advance. It seemed that the previous displeasure was all for the purpose of paving the way for the Ghost Mother to say what she just said.
"Expand the army?" The ghost mother frowned slightly when she heard this, and asked: "Expand what army?".
"Air Force." Xiao Shizhu nodded and replied.
"What is this? Have you never heard of it?" The ghost mother frowned again, thought for a moment and then asked blankly.
"So your underworld is too backward. You don't have smartphones and games, and you don't even have an air force. But this is no wonder for you. The main reason is that Emperor Fengdu is too pedantic. He has stood in the position of a god for too long and has not accepted anything new.
Things, but the human souls that came down from the mortal world are only left with the illiterate Bai Ding, so how can this underworld develop?" Xiao Shizhu sighed slightly, and then explained to the ghost mother: "But having said that, in fact, in the human world,
The air force is also a branch of arms that only appeared in modern times. To put it simply, it is a force that uses flying tools to transport and attack ground targets."
"Of course, there are obviously no ghosts in the underworld who can build airplanes. Naturally, we can't make bombers and fighter jets. But we can change our thinking and use a kind of demon spirit to replace airplanes. In this way, we can form an air force to attack ground targets.
Carry out air strikes." Xiao Shizhu said with a proud face.
Just after he finished speaking, he saw the ghost mother looking at him blankly, with a look of confusion and ignorance on her face, and said blankly: "I still don't understand."
"You don't need to understand. You just need to promise me to expand the quota by a thousand people. By then, this team will definitely be able to catch Wu Zhiqi off guard." Xiao Shizhu didn't bother to explain, and just perfunctoryly said a few words.
That's it.
"Okay." After thinking for a moment, the ghost mother nodded in agreement. Then she asked, "What else do you want?" After saying that, she motioned to Xiao Shizhu to go out with her for a walk.
"In the past few days, I have read through all the information you sent to me. Among them, the information on the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Ghost Motherland is the most detailed part. After reading it, I found a big problem." Xiao Shizhu
Following the ghost mother, she slowly came outside the temple. The rain had stopped at this time, but there was still a sense of freshness in the air.
After they got off the pedestal of the main hall, they turned around and headed towards Tengu Garden.
Xiao Shizhu continued: "Although your army weapons are made of fine steel and are extremely sharp, they are also cold weapons. The Ghost Mother Country also has a military and legal system, and each city has a commander to oversee the garrison. The following is
Guards and stations are divided into divisions. Each guard has a staff of 5,600 and a command. The guards have five thousand-household stations, each with 1,112 people and one thousand households. The thousand-household stations have ten hundred-household stations.
Each institute has 112 people and 100 households. The 100 households have two general banners under their jurisdiction, and the general headquarters has five small banners under its jurisdiction. Such an organization does not have any problems or shortcomings, and it can cope with large-scale wars and unified mobilization.
.However, a command guard with nearly 6,000 sergeants has only 15 artillery pieces and 800 muskets, which is too few."
"Having said that, fighting is actually the same as playing games. In the game, RMB players are awesome because of their good equipment. It is undeniable that cold weapons made of fine steel are indeed beneficial to close combat, but they are too behind compared to firearms.
Okay. If the Ghost Mother Country wants to gain a foothold on the other vassal states in the underworld, it must open up remote areas and cannot be limited to this small island. To open up new territories, it is very important to improve the strength of the military. The first thing is to solve the equipment problem and vigorously develop
At the same time, we need to equip the army with sophisticated firearms." After Xiao Shizhu said this, he turned to look at the ghost mother, and saw that the other party was also turning to look at him, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, knowing that she was also interested, so he
He continued to talk non-stop: "If you don't talk too far, let's talk about this battle against Wu Zhiqi. I need you to give me two thousand thunder blunderbuss and 100,000 rounds of projectiles, and three thousand three-eyed blunderbuss and three-eyed blunderbuss."
There are 300,000 bullets, a thousand Hundred Tigers, and five hundred underwater Dragon King Cannons. You have plenty of these things in your arsenal. Give me some. I'll show you what it means.
Modern warfare' and coordinated operations by sea, land and air!".
While they were talking, the monarch and his ministers had already arrived in front of the Tengu Garden. As soon as King Kong and the guards saw the ghost mother, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Xiao Shizhu smiled and said coquettishly: "Why don't you go to my doghouse for a cup of tea?
Tell us more about the equipment?".
"The conditions you proposed are not too excessive and can satisfy you, but that's it. If you continue to ask for it, you will definitely rob me of my family fortune." The ghost mother seemed to have guessed Xiao Shizhu's ulterior motives, no matter what they were.
She didn't know the purpose yet but was already alert, so she rolled her eyes at him and walked into the Tengu Garden.
She had just sat down under the flower stand in Tengu Garden. Xiao Shizhu asked King Kong and the others to make tea quickly, then ran over in a hurry, nodded and bowed to the ghost mother with a charming smile: "Let's not talk anymore, let's talk.
Then I can take Tian Kuixing with me, okay?" He pointed at Tian Kuixing who was following behind him.
"Why did you take it with you?" the ghost mother asked curiously.
"This Tengu has been following me for a while, and I have some feelings for it. I haven't seen it for ten days and a half, and I always feel that there is something wrong with it." Xiao Shizhu laughed sarcastically and said: "And it has a good nose. After attacking the island,
If Wu Zhiqi is still alive and hiding, let him find him."
"Okay." The ghost mother felt that this was not a big deal, just Xiao Shizhu. So she took the fragrant tea brewed by Jingang and the others, scraped the tea powder with the quilt, and sniffed the hot tea with her nose.
After smelling the incense, he glanced at Xiao Shizhu and said: "The Yunwu people planted? The market price is one pound of gold leaf. It's quite good to drink!".
"My lord, this is specially prepared for you." Li Hao then said with a smile. Then, Li Guai took over the words and said: "Usually Mr. Xiao drinks by the count, but he himself can't bear to be so big.
I brewed a lot of tea. Every time I made tea, I counted the tea leaves clearly. I only dared to brew five tea leaves at a time to try it out."
"You two brothers are the only ones who talk too much." Xiao Shizhu saw them exposing his background and hurriedly scolded them: "Take care of the heavenly dogs." After speaking, he turned back and smiled at the ghost mother.
"Did you know that I would come to your place? You never knew?" The ghost mother took a sip of the tea and said, "Good tea. You will go to Chunyun later to get the military talisman and flag. The Dongcheng Guards will be under your command from today on. As for the
I will send someone to deliver the equipment you want to the military camp in the afternoon."
What the ghost mother didn't know was that Xiao Shizhu actually led her here deliberately so that she could talk about supplies and equipment. The ghost mother's words of good tea were exactly what she wanted; Xiao Shizhu saw the opportunity for the lion to open his mouth.
"It's not about predicting the future, it's just about preparing for a rainy day. Asking you for so much equipment will cost me a lot of money." Then, Xiao Shizhu rolled his eyes and said: "Since it is good tea, can you give me a hundred and eighty thousand dollars?"
A military expenditure of ten thousand taels of silver?”
"Xiao Shizhu, don't push me too far." The ghost mother's smile suddenly froze when she heard this, and then she put down the tea cup with a hint of anger, raised her hand and slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up, and walked out of the courtyard.
He said angrily: "Repay one hundred and eighty thousand? I am making an exception to give you so many firearms today. After wiping out Wu Zhiqi, I will reward you with one hundred catties of Yuren Yunwu, so that you don't have to count and drink."
, led the maids to the inner court. At this moment, she finally knew that Xiao Shizhu came here for money, and she couldn't help but cursed in her heart: "Greedy!".
"Sister Ghost Mother, please tell me what you have to say. Business cannot be done with justice." Xiao Shizhu chased after her and begged: "How can you train soldiers if you don't give me funds?".
"Military pay is paid out in full and on time by the Ministry of War. The same goes for the food and water you need when you go on an expedition. What military expenses do you want?" Hearing this, the ghost mother stopped suddenly, turned around, and almost lost money with Xiao Shizhu who was chasing after her.
Her arms were full. She frowned, glared at Xiao Shizhu and cursed: "And I've given you the equipment, and I've given you the expansion quota, so don't let me be greedy!".
"I've seen it clearly. You little devil brought me here and served you tea. All of this was premeditated!" the ghost mother added angrily, turned around and left angrily.
.
Staring at the ghost mother's resolute departure, Xiao Shizhu shouted helplessly: "It's going to be winter soon, you have to give me some money to buy clothes for the soldiers."
When the ghost mother heard this, she suddenly stopped and turned back, glaring at Xiao Shizhu and said: "What kind of winter is coming? What kind of winter is coming? It's July 15th, and you only have one month to capture Wu Zhiqi. Eighth
On the 15th day of the lunar month, if you still can't take down Wu Zhiqi, you'll be dead." After finishing speaking, he frowned and narrowed his eyes: "Why do you want all these people from all directions? I'm afraid it's to line your own pockets.
Bar?".
"No, I want those 108,000 yuan to enrich my own pockets! Then I can expand my staff without spending any money." Xiao Shizhu forced a smile, and kept looking at the ghost mother, and said
: "If you don't give me three melons and two dates, who will work for you?".
"One thousand people, each will be given one tael of enlistment fee. I will ask Chun Yun to allocate it to you." After saying that, the ghost mother turned around resolutely again and strode away.
"Give me more, do you want 50% for this person?" the shameless Xiao Shizhu asked.
"There's no way!" The ghost mother didn't even look back at him, and walked towards the inner courtyard without even looking back.
"Sir, the money has not arrived yet?" At this time, King Kong and others ran over, stood shoulder to shoulder with him in front of the Tengu Garden gate, and asked quietly.
"This ghost mother deserves to be the head of the country. She is moody and a Grandet." Xiao Shizhu looked at the ghost mother's leaving figure blankly and sighed: "Why are you so stingy when it comes to money?".
"Grandet?" Li Hao, Li Cai and Yang Dingfeng were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him with doubts on their faces and asked in unison.
"Read more books." After speaking meaningfully, Xiao Shizhu waved to King Kong and said: "Follow me and take my map with you. I hope the three masters of Wenwen and Wenwen will stay and take care of the Tengu.
”.
"No." King Kong responded, turned back to the house, rolled up the map and brought it out, then asked Xiao Shizhu: "What are we going to do?".
"Training troops, brother." Xiao Shizhu walked forward and said, "What else can we do?" After finishing speaking, he stretched his hand to the entrance and whistled, and Tian Kuixing immediately rushed out of the Tengu Garden.
