The battle was over, and the enemy was defeated.

"So that's how it is. It turns out that we have been defeated from the beginning." Zhang Jian looked ashen.

"Leader, after all, we have followed you for such a long time. We have worked hard, not to mention the merits. Can you give us a way out? We will stay away from Guangling City and swear not to be your enemy." Zhang Jian kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Zhu Tianhua shook his head without hesitation and said, "Zhang Jian, I have already reminded you."

Thinking that he was going to be executed, Zhang Jian immediately stood up and shouted loudly, "Brothers, follow me to break out of the encirclement. As long as we hold Zhu Tianhua hostage, we still have a chance of survival."

He drew his sword and rushed towards Zhu Tianhua, trying to break through the encirclement. The soldiers around him reacted and fought with Zhang Jian.

The remaining few people could only resist, because the soldiers were already rushing towards them, and they would die if they did not resist.

Although Zhang Jian and his men were brave, they were no match for the dozens of guards.

A cup of tea passed quickly, and the place returned to its previous silence.

The corpses and blood on the ground were very eye-catching, but Zhu Tianhua did not care. He had been on the battlefield and had seen this situation too many times, so he was used to it.

"Clean this place up." Zhu Tianhua left a word and went to work.

A month passed quietly.

Since solving the problem of Zhang Jian, Zhu Tianhua strengthened the work of the intelligence network and used various reasons to deceive the envoys of King Kang.

It was to seek time for development and to produce explosives and weapons with all their strength.

Fortunately, the envoys sent by King Kang looked down on their group of rebels, and with various bribes, this was able to successfully extend the time by one month.

With the full support of Zhu Tianhua, they recruited a hundred workers and successfully manufactured 20 tons of black powder and 5 tons of ammonium nitrate explosives.

Due to the scarcity of raw materials in ancient times, even if they spent a lot of military funds to buy raw materials from other places, they could only produce so few finished products. Otherwise, according to modern production efficiency, it would not be a problem to produce 100 tons of explosives in a month.

Some of the explosives were made into pottery mines, and the remaining explosives were made into super-large explosive packs because of time constraints.

Lin Zixuan also recruited 30 carpenters in the city. According to his drawings, he implemented the assembly line factory model of parts and links, and made nearly 50 counterweight trebuchets in just one month.

If it weren't for the lack of wood, it would not be a problem to make 100 trebuchets according to the working mode of this assembly line.

He found that the trebuchets at this time were all rope-type trebuchets. When attacking, the gunners needed to pull the rope together to throw the stone bullets out. A trebuchet required about 15 people to operate, and the operating efficiency was extremely low.

So he directly designed a counterweight trebuchet, which not only increased the weight and distance of the projectile, but also greatly reduced the number of operators and the difficulty of operation.

This counterweight trebuchet only requires five or six people to easily operate one. The stones thrown are not only heavy, but also far away. For other people, this is a dimensionality reduction attack.

Not to mention that they threw out a super-large explosive bag weighing more than 20 kilograms, which also contained some broken stones and broken iron pieces, and the killing radius reached 25 meters.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

As long as King Kang sends troops to attack, they can taste the taste of explosives.

In fact, the possibility of King Kang attacking is not great, because if King Kang wants to attack, he will have to leave the Liaodong area and come to Guangling City, which is hundreds of kilometers away. The risk of long-distance operations cannot be ignored.

And King Kang will also face pressure from the emperor and the court at that time.

Although they will definitely face the hostility of King Kang, if it is just hostility, there is nothing to be afraid of.

In the original plot, King Kang rebelled half a year later, so they had plenty of time to prepare.

In fact, even if they faced King Kang's 200,000 troops, they didn't have to be afraid with these explosives in hand.

......

During this period, King Kang had sent many people to investigate Liang Jinghuan's affairs, but Guangling City did not give a specific response, just saying that they were fully investigating.

The attitude of Guangling City was not only very cooperative, but also bribed the envoys with a large sum of money to let the envoys say a few good words for them. This was also one of Zhu Tianhua's strategies.

"Your Highness, we found out that His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince rescued a woman from the fleeing crowd, and in order to vent his anger on this woman, he also killed a man in public, and according to the description of the insider, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince and this woman have a close relationship."

King Kang

He said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Huan'er likes her? Have you found out where this woman is now?"

"Your Highness, I have found out that this woman is named Jiang Qiuyue. Since she was brought back by Your Highness, she has been arranged to live in a residence in Yangyuan County. However... a few days ago, this woman has moved into the home of Sun Xuewen, the magistrate of Yangyuan County."

"And she has a good relationship with one of Sun Xuewen's concubines. The two have reached the point of discussing marriage."

"It seems that this woman may know something. Go to the Sun family in Yangyuan County and invite Jiang Qiuyue to our place for questioning."

As the King of Kang, he still has this confidence. The Sun family in Yangyuan County will definitely give him this face.

Even if he is from the Sun family in Kyoto, it is not difficult to ask an unrelated woman about something.

However, he turned around and remembered that he had been trying to win over the Sun family in Yangyuan County. He was moved and told: "Pay attention and be nicer."

"I obey your command."

Jiang Qiuyue had been living a happy life recently. Since that incident, Sun Su really listened to her and treated her as a close sister. Even if she spent all his money, she had no complaints.

Jiang Qiuyue found a random reason and moved into Sun Su's bedroom and drove him into the woodshed.

Although the dormitory was not big, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Although it was not the best, it was much better than the time when she fled.

Sun Su was a little distressed. He was just an unappreciated bastard who had never felt warmth. He finally had a good impression of a girl, but he found that he couldn't afford it.

Since Jiang Qiuyue moved in, she lived in Sun Su's bedroom, and Sun Su lived in the woodshed.

Sun Su was excited at first, after all, he had a lot of good feelings for Jiang Qiuyue. When Jiang Qiuyue offered to stay overnight, he was full of fantasies.

However, as a self-proclaimed scholar, he never dared to go beyond half a step.

But Sun Su never expected that Jiang Qiuyue would not leave once she stayed.

Moreover, every time she bought something, Jiang Qiuyue never took the initiative to ask for it, but just said a few words "it would be nice if there was something".

After hearing this, Sun Su took the initiative to buy it for her, but Jiang Qiuyue kept refusing, and finally she was embarrassed to accept it.

After ten days, Sun Su's savings had dropped from 100 taels of silver to 10 taels of silver.

Rouge, powder, and jewelry were only affordable by rich people in ancient times. He was just an unappreciated bastard. The 100 taels of silver were the result of his savings for more than ten years. After just ten days, his wallet was empty.

This made him feel a little depressed, but money is something outside of one's body. As long as he can be with Jiang Qiuyue, he is willing to spend all the money.

I am afraid that all the money will be spent without any good results.
