"Stop flattering, what happened to what I told you to do?"

Qin Fan continued to speak.

"The subordinates have sent someone to check, and the traces of Prince Mu's Mansion were finally found in Guangdong. It just so happens that Wu Liuqi, the Red Banner Incense Lord in our meeting, is the admiral of Guangdong, so we must be able to find them in a few days."

"Very good. Also, tell Wu Liuqi to keep a firm grip on the situation in Guangdong. Geng Jingzhong has just won Guangxi and has no time to worry about him, let alone show his flaws during this period."

"Yes, you must keep this in mind."

Cai Dezhong bowed his hands respectfully and left, and the room returned to calm again.

Another half month later, Ma Bao, who was resting in Hubei, took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and the army directly crossed the river, killing none of the Anhui defenders.

Then Zhang Yong, Wang Jinbao, and Sun Sike from Sichuan and Zhao Liangdong from Shanxi attacked Henan at the same time, and Henan was captured in just half a day.

Then the two armies joined forces in western Henan and joined forces to drive straight into Gansu.

Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong took advantage of the opportunity to borrow ways from the Yunnan side and followed closely behind, and the army marched all the way to the gate of Zhili!

But seven days later, what is surprising is that all the forces are advancing all the way, but it is the two feudal domains that have joined hands with the two armies that have suffered a big loss!

They fought outside the gate of Zhili seven days ago, but they still haven't gotten in, and even lost [-]% of their troops.

The culprit is those hundreds of martial art cannons!

"Damn Tartar, did it stop here?"

Shang Zhixin was furious.

"My lord, how about borrowing the red cannon from Yunnan?"

The counselor under his command said sternly.

Shang Zhixin thought for a moment when he heard the words, and said to himself:

"The red-clothed cannon blocked the Eight Banners cavalry in Shanhaiguan for 20 years. Later, Wu Sangui returned to the Qing Dynasty and took away nearly [-]. Now it is in the hands of Yunnan."

"Although the number is not dominant, you can give it a try."

"Immediately send a message to the Yunnan side, be sure to borrow the red cannon for the king!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the orders, the officers and men immediately rushed to the border of Gansu. Now the army in Yunnan has not broken through the defense line of Gansu, and all the troops are stationed here.

-------------------------------------

"My subordinate Mu Jiansheng pays respects to the master."

Everyone in Mu Palace knelt on one knee and cupped their hands.

However, there was a red-haired Dutch missionary who stood out in the crowd, and beside him was a young man about two years older than Qin Fan.

Seeing what Qin Fan was pointing at, Mu Jiansheng quickly explained:

"Master, this person is the Dutch red-haired ghost Nan Huairen who is in charge of Qin Tianjian."

"After we contacted the Netherlands, they recommended this person to us to help build firearms under the temptation of a large amount of property."

"But this person has already held an important position in the imperial court, and the subordinates also took a lot of effort to use the Dutch to trick him out of the capital."

"The little brother next to him is called Dai Zi, and his subordinate met him when he was passing through Hangzhou."

"Don't underestimate him. He is only in his 21s. He is a genius in making firearms. Even Nan Huairen feels ashamed and praises him a lot."

Mu Jiansheng reported to Qin Fan in detail what he had done recently.

"Nan Huairen? Dai Zi?"

Qin Fan stroked his chin and quickly searched the memories of his previous life, and finally he really matched the number.

"How many cannons did the Netherlands buy?"

Mu Jiansheng's face changed slightly, and he paused for a few seconds before saying:

"Master, the banknotes you gave were not only used to win over the Dutch ghosts, but the rest together bought 20 red cannons, 100 small cannons and a large number of firecrackers."

"A red cannon costs 5000 taels of silver, and a small cannon costs at least 200 taels."

"Counting the cost of shipping by sea, it took several months to ship it from the Netherlands."

"The subordinate is not doing well, so I ask the master to punish him."

He felt that what he did was not satisfactory, and he secretly felt guilty.

But Qin Fan was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect cannons to be so cheap.

"You've done a good job. With the 100 million taels, you can immediately set up a firearms factory and recruit world-renowned skilled craftsmen. I want to achieve mass production within half a year."

"This...Master, mass production within half a year is undoubtedly a fantasy." Mu Jiansheng heard a cold sweat, what is the concept of mass production of cannons?He is simply unimaginable.

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it."

"Dai Zi, if I hand over all the rights to you, can you do it?"

"Ah? Your Excellency is calling me?"

After restraining his mind, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said:

"My lord, I can!"

"Then I will leave it to you. Money is not a problem, and manpower is not a problem. Technically, I will let those Dutch ghosts listen to you." Qin Fan smiled mysteriously, and spoke surprisingly again.

"If my lord can do this, and if a villain can't produce firearms in half a year, come and see me!" Dai Zi knelt down with a plop.

"Leave some for Dai Zi to imitate, and transport the rest to the north."

"I want to see if the gate of Zhili is really solid!"

Qin Fan got up instantly and said.

Wu Liuqi also showed joy. After lurking in Guangdong for so long, he can finally show his talents.

"This subordinate will seize all the troops in Guangdong and wipe out all the strength of Geng Jingzhong's line."

"Within two days, my subordinates will be able to follow in your footsteps and head north to destroy the Qing Dynasty!"

Ten days later, the Forbidden City.

"Your Majesty, many powerful cannons are blocking the gate of Zhili. The two feudal clans that have already fought cannot advance an inch. As long as they are completely wiped out, we can take the opportunity to spread our forces and subdue the rivers and mountains!" Nalan Mingzhu clasped his hands.

"Mingzhu, it's come to this point, where do you have the confidence? When the ammunition is finally exhausted, most of my country is gone, even if I want to go back outside the customs, I can't do it."

"Are you still delusional?"

Kangxi's face was pale, and he slumped on the dragon chair weakly.

He thought about retreating outside the pass, but Liaodong had already been captured by King Chahar, and now there was no way to retreat.

The entire rebel army surrounded Zhili like a big net, and he was just a cornered beast.

Suddenly, a guard came in and reported:

"Your Majesty, Lord Gui is back."
