Liu Bu knows one thing. Equipment is the key to the training of their Ding army. Their Liu family's Ding army are all excellent soldiers, but their combat effectiveness is not high, which is inseparable from their good welfare and good equipment.

Therefore, Liu Bu invested a huge capital in smashing equipment in order to make their Liu Ding army have the best weapons and equipment in the world.

Their Liu family's weapons workshop can not only make swords, but also make armor, guns and cannons.

Of course, their cold weapon workshop and armor workshop have begun to produce, and his most valued gun workshop and artillery workshop are still under preparation.

Although Liu Bu was very worried about this, he also knew that he couldn't worry about it, because the fire gun workshop and artillery workshop are already the most complex workshops in the world. It can be said that they have reached the first-class level. In addition to the major workshops in the capital, the workshops in the key border towns in Daming have this ability.

It can be said that if Liu Bu's workshop is successful, not to mention the number and combat effectiveness of their army, but their workshop of Liu family has stepped into the best level.

In many military towns in the Ming Dynasty, they just have the ability to make weapons and armor. As for making fire guns and casting artillery, they don't have the technology and ability in this regard.

Moreover, the current Daming Empire has lost the manufacturing method of red cannon. Originally, they mastered this technology. Since the war in Denglai town and all the craftsmen were swept away by Kong Youde, Daming has no ability to manufacture red cannon. Now they just urgently purchase from the grape Ding people.

Of course, the emperor ordered all the major military and equipment bureaus to make every effort to see if they could make red cannon, but it should be a few years later with the bureaucratic system and corrupt style of the Ming government.

So after Liu Bu returned to Jimo, he plunged into his two workshops to supervise the progress of their work.

It can be said that these two workshops are the key to the rise of Liu's army. Liu's army is different from the troops in other military towns, that is, they will be firearm sooner or later, and the same is true in Liu Bu's plan. When their army expands to more than 2000, they will go all out to firearm the general team.

Their army of one or two thousand people can play a role in small-scale conflicts and battles, but if it is a large-scale battle, if more than two thousand of them use cold weapons, it will have little effect. You know, even the current JianNu, they are afraid of being hit by the red cannon, and they all try their best to get the red cannon.

Imagine that one day, when they confront the JianNu army and the JianNu army, when they are ready to fight, the other party uses red cannon to bombard your position and plough out blood and flesh hutongs on your position. How can you resist? Even if Liu Jiajun's fighting will is strong, he can't stick to it.

The only way is to use the same red cannon to counter the enemy. If you bomb me with a cannon, I'll bomb you with a cannon. It's that simple.

In the war between the two armies, you bombard me with big guns and I bombard you with big guns. Both sides are seriously killed and injured, and will eventually pull both sides to the origin.

So Liu Bu held Huang Dong very tight and tried to get him to get a cannon. She greeted him with good wine and food. The beauty also sent two to come, so she almost called him a master.

Zheng zining always followed Liu Bu to help. She saw that Liu Bu was busy, but the actual effect was nothing. She said, "you've never done it, and you're still casting cannons, which is equivalent to going to heaven step by step. It's no use urging them to be so urgent."

Liu Bu said, "I signed a one-year contract with Huang Dong and they will retreat after a year. If I can't get a cannon within a year, all my investments will be wasted."

Zheng zining said, "this is your mistake. Since you have invested so much human and material resources, how can you sign a contract for only one year?"

He seemed helpless and said, "there's no way. He's just willing to sign a one-year contract."

Zheng zining said to her, "this is your business. Since he has invested so much human and material resources, he will come and go if he wants to before he makes a cannon."

In this regard, Zheng zining is much more decisive than Liu bu. She is very decisive. She said, "the golden cup drinks with you, and the white blade has no love."

Zheng zining is also a dreamer awakened by a word. Naturally, the factory will open. Huang Dong must work hard for him. How can he come and go?

However, he was still worried that his troops had no guns, which was always a big problem. He had to forge his own guns as soon as possible in order to make his troops play a role in the battle.

The enemies around them have become stronger and have their own artillery forces. Only when they catch up, they will fall behind.

Zheng zining said to her, "it's no use being anxious now, but I have a supplementary method, that is, I turn ten red cannon and 30 Fran machine guns for you to use first."

Liu Bu was very happy. He said, "I want it too, but I don't have so much money."

Zheng zining gave her a white look and said, "my relationship with you. Why do you say this? Mine is yours?"

Liu Bu was overjoyed. Regardless of so many people around him, he kissed Zheng zining ruthlessly on the spot. He said, "when you are an official, you should be the chief Jinwu, and when you marry Zheng zining."

Although it was only Liu Bu's duty room, and there were only a few close people around her, such as Liu Kang and Liu Zhongyong, Zheng zining felt very shy. She gave Liu bu a white look and left quickly.

Liu Zhongyong smiled at them.

Liu Kang looked at him. He gave Liu bu a thumb. He said, "Your Excellency is really smart. Conquering Miss Zheng is equivalent to the Zheng family opening the door to you, so you can enter the house and ask for it."

Liu Bu is very happy when Liu Kang flatters him. This move is completely right. I don't know what Liu Bu thought before. Such a good thing is often pushed out of the door.

At this time, Liu Kang saw no one on his left, and then mysteriously stuffed a bottle into Liu Bu's sleeve.

Liu Bu was surprised. He said, "what's this? It's all here. Do you want this?"

Liu Kang said to him, "it's not easy for a villain to see that you have to deal with Miss Zheng (Luocha female ghost), so I offer you something to help you."

It turned out to be aphrodisiac. Liu Bu didn't think so. He said, "do I need this kind of thing for my physique?" I'm only 20 years old. Let others know whether this face still needs it? Still alive?

Liu Kang said mysteriously, "young master, this thing has a miraculous effect and can make you strong several times? It's no problem to stay up all night."

Liu Bu felt both magical and shocked. He said, "there are other things like this?" he asked himself that his current physique is still OK, and his ability in this field is still human. After the strong Miss Zheng fell in love with him, she is still like a little bird to him. This is the effect only after his satisfaction and nourishment, Since they all have such abilities, do they still need these indiscriminate dragon and tiger drugs? But when he heard that he could stay up all night, he thought it was amazing. Everyone was curious. He wanted to see it. He said, "is that true?"

Liu Kang said, "this thing is called bronze beard."

Liu Bu said to him, "Sai Tongxu, why does the name sound so familiar?"

Liu Kang said to him, "this medicine was bought by an officer from saihuatuo Liu Changzhong, a famous doctor in Gaomi. All the medicines he used were all tonics, and there was nothing wrong. In the past, Xi Niao knew the state highly, and he relied on it to welcome Ma Dongfan."

When he said this, Liu Bu immediately thought of the magistrate Ma who died of madness. He died because of eating this thing. He thought of it here and almost wanted to throw it away.

Liu Kang hurriedly went on. He said, "be careful, sir. This thing is very expensive."

Liu Bu said to her, "well, you Liu Kang, you don't learn the right way, but you learn these crooked ways. Do you want me to come to a bad end like Ma Dongpan?"

Liu Kang said to him, "look what you said, my Lord. The court has made a final decision about Ma Dongfan. This is that he died of madness immediately, which is not related to the medicine. Therefore, in the future, Liu Changzhong's Bronze beard is worth a hundred times. It's hard to find a pill. If the villain doesn't report your name, he can't get it?"

Liu Bu said to him, "you like it so much that you can take it yourself."

Liu Kang said embarrassed, "look what you said, I don't even have a daughter-in-law. I still live in the military camp. Eating this thing can make a big deal."

Liu Bu said, "Oh, do you think of your daughter-in-law now? Let Miss Zheng arrange a marriage for you in a few days. You can say hello and it's yours."

Liu Kang said: "thank you, sir, but I'm not in a hurry. At present, I want to help adults achieve great things. This is the key. I can't be distracted at all. Other things can be postponed."

Liu Bu said, "I didn't expect you Liu Kang to be so knowledgeable and loyal."

Liu Kang said proudly, "nobody else. It's just a word of loyalty. Adults, you have said it. As long as you follow adults and make achievements in the future, are you afraid of not having a daughter-in-law?"

Liu preached, "you know, but I can tell you that you are also a hundred officials. Don't be a villain. Villains call themselves."
