Gongsun Gan and Guangxuan were both very conscious of the current affairs.

Gao Lishi fell, and the emperor was busy with all kinds of things. Obviously, he would not remember them. He wanted to stay in the court in the future and had to curry favor with Yang Yun.

If you go against Yang Yun's intentions or even report it, you will be unable to survive in the court in the future, and you will lose your life.

During the days when they haven't returned in America for more than a month, they have seen what the law of the jungle is. From the original uncle to the later helping with things, their mentality is gradually changing.

Yang Yun said: "I can't send two of you back to Luoyang for the time being, but I'm afraid that you will not get used to it here."

Gongsun Gan said impatiently: "As long as you can leave here, you can go anywhere."

"Let me do this, I'll take you to Yizhou. Are you willing to go with me?"

Yang Yun expressed his suggestions.

Gongsun Gan and Guangxuan looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes... Since Yang Yun said that he could take them to Yizhou, it means that Yang Yun could reach this so-called Tianfang Kingdom from anywhere.

"good."

Gongsun Gan immediately agreed.

That night, Yang Yun brought Gongsun Gan and Guangxuan to the prefecture of Yizhou.

When Gongsun Gan and Guangxuan walked on the streets of Chengdu and saw people with Shu accents, they felt like they were a different life.

Yang Yun said: "You find a place to rest first. I will take you back to the 'Tianfang Kingdom' tomorrow morning. You can come back every few days from now on, but if you leave without reporting, don't blame me for being polite."

Yang Yun did not go to monitor Gongsun Gan and Guangxuan in person, but just accompanied them on the streets of Chengdu. After warning them, he gave them some money to choose their residence in the city on their own.

"What did the national master say? Since we have made up our minds to obey you, we will naturally not go against you, and we will definitely not leave the city... If you have any questions, just go and work hard. We will go to the Jimaster's Mansion to find you tomorrow morning."

Gongsun Gan respectfully saluted Yang Yun and then left with Guangxuan.

After the two left, Wu Yuan came behind Yang Yun and asked in a low voice: "Master, don't worry, they are wandering around? What if they tell the news to the court's spies?"

"What's wrong with me? Do you think the court will set up an intelligence agency in Yizhou in advance? Even if there are, it is impossible to get in touch with these two people... They are smart people, and they will definitely go to inquire about the news from the court at this time to see if as I said, as long as they know that Gao Lishi fell, they will do their best for me, otherwise they will destroy themselves."

Although Yang Yun was full of confidence, he still sent someone to stare at the two of them.

If Gongsun Gan and Guangxuan really want to escape or even go to inform the news, he would throw the two on the deserted island where Camp No. 3 is located, so that they can live on the island with those of unknown origin and fend for themselves.

...

...

As Yang Yun expected, Gongsun Gan and Guangxuan were both honest that night.

Apart from going to the brothel to drink, he did nothing out of the ordinary, nor did he try to escape, nor did he go to a place in the city to spread the news. He came to the Jiedushi's Mansion early the next morning to report to Yang Yun.

Yang Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to go to the 'Tianfang Kingdom'. Now I have just taken over the position of Jiannan Jiedushi. I lack helpers around me. I'm sorting out official documents for me... I wonder if you have experience in this area?"

Gongsun felt that he was from a regular imperial examination and was able to handle the scenes freely. He smiled and said, "I have had experience in serving in the prefecture. I am not unfamiliar with this. It is just a small task for me... If you have any needs for the national teacher, just give me instructions and make sure you do it well."

Yang Yun is currently receiving military power and receiving interview envoys from Jiannandao arranged by the court, governors of various states, county magistrates, etc. He has no staff for his own time, so he has to keep experienced officials like Gongsun Gan for the time being to serve as a person so that he can make full use of his talents. He is also preparing to bring Yang Zhao back from America to start.

It is difficult to establish his own administrative team. After all, Li Longji did not prepare relevant personnel for him, and Yang Yun did not have much experience as an official before. Building a team that belongs entirely to him is a luxury talk. If you want to find the staff, you must find it yourself and cultivate it slowly.

Li Bai, who is now stuck in Luoyang City, can be counted as one. He had written letters to Li Bai when he passed the Shu Road.

Li Bai was eager to show his political ambitions. As long as he was appointed as the judge of the Jiedu Office, Li Bai would not refuse. He should have set off to Shu at this time, so he didn't have to worry about it for the time being.

...

...

For several days, Yang Yun was busy completing the acceptance.

Having met with major officials in Jiannan Road and Yizhou, Yang Yun had a preliminary understanding of the current situation in Yizhou and even the entire Jiannan Road.

The Nanzhao rebellion had an impact on the southern border of the Tang Dynasty, but the impact was limited to a small area. Even though the Tubo people won the battle in Huiye City, they lost their vitality in the previous battle and organized several counterattacks in succession, all of which hit a wall under Luoyanzhou City, so they had to support Nanzhao to rebel.

The Six Divines are now nominally unified, but the other five Divines did not completely destroy the country, which caused Nanzhao to frequently send troops to attack several cities in the western part of Yaozhou, but there were basically heavy thunder and little rain. Because internal rebellions broke out one after another, the Nanzhao King Piluoge had to focus more on internal affairs.

What Yang Yun had to do was to recruit troops and pacify Nanzhao and re-take the surrounding areas of Erhai Lake under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

This has happened in history, but unfortunately, the Tang army returned in failure several times, and at most, it was ruined by 70,000 soldiers and horses in the Nanzhao royal city, and the famous general Li Mi went to Erhai to sacrifice his country.

The terrain of Nanzhao is extremely complex, which has become a difficult point for Yang Yun to lead his troops to attack.

To make a blacksmith must be strong. Since the time, place and people are not in hand, Yang Yun needs more powerful weapons and equipment to fight this unsure battle and not to capsize in the gutter.

Yang Yun now holds military power, first went to the Unity Camp of the headquarters, summoned the generals and school directly under him, and then asked the 14,000 officers and soldiers to train strictly, sweat more in normal times, and bleed less during wartime. Then, he drew the prefectural troops from the surrounding areas of Yizhou to Yizhou to recruit civil servants, preparing to form five mixed teams with two thousand soldiers and two thousand civil servants. After entering the camp, he went directly to the South American mainland to establish camps through the space gate.

The camp site has been selected for a while, and it has been distributed from north to south along the Andes. In the future, the camps will gradually be connected. At that time, he can become the king of South America and then gradually become involved in Central America and North America. What he is currently studying hard is the more powerful firearm.

Not an ordinary musket.

The principle of ordinary muskets is very simple, and they can be completed and mass production can be achieved in a short time.

However, the fire guns created are not very deterrent, and the effective killing range is less than fifty steps. In many cases, it takes ten steps to be able to be lethal. It is very troublesome to fill ammunition.

After all, Yang Yun has "capable people" to help, which greatly shortens the time for developing new weapons.

Before, steelmaking fully utilized the abilities of Wu Yuan and Zhang Jingyan. Now Yang Yun has been studying new weapons, so he has transferred Wu Yuan over, leaving Yang Yuhuan alone in the Xuannv Palace in Luoyang.

Now, he is no longer worried about Yang Yuhuan.

After all, no one can cut Yang Yuhuan's belly open and take a look. When she saw her belly bulge, all the symptoms were owned by pregnant women. Only when she was given birth would she know whether it was true or false.

Yang Yun had left Wu Yuan in Luoyang Palace before, and was more concerned about Yang Yuhuan's psychological feelings.

Now Yang Yuhuan is slowly adapting to the pregnancy state, so Yang Yun of course has to use Wu Yuan as a good steel on the blade and give full play to his abilities.

"Isn't what the master is going to create now? "

When Wu Yuan saw Yang Yun bring the sulfuric acid he had made in the laboratory before, he then brought saltpeter from the other side of the space door. He was busy with bottles and jars. The air was filled with irritating gas, and he suddenly felt that Yang Yun was doing something extremely dangerous.

Yang Yun is studying yellow gunpowder.

I won’t talk about the specific compatibility. In short, this is a good thing that can completely change the war model. Using yellow gunpowder to deal with the indigenous people in the Americas, or to deal with the Nanzhao and Tubo armies, can be considered a waste of talent.

But Yang Yun knew that he could mobilize too few people, and his subordinates in the South American mainland had not experienced systematic military training. If he wanted to achieve great things with them, he had to achieve complete suppression in weapon levels.

A musket with a range of more than ten steps to twenty or thirty steps alone will not have a decisive effect.

There are two things to help him, one is yellow gunpowder and the other is a standard breech-filled bullet-type musket.

In addition, he will also study war weapons such as artillery, bows and crossbows. He is very familiar with the future war mode and knows what can change the way of fighting. Since he is determined to create a big killer weapon, he must of course develop in a ruthless way.

"There are some drawings here. Come and take a look. I want to make such heavy iron pipes."

"There shouldn't be much of a problem at the moment, but it's still a bit difficult to ensure sealing, especially if you need to add a device that can fill the leads later."

In order to facilitate the future conquering cities and territories, Yang Yun decided to make artillery. Among them, the red-clothed cannon cast in the late Ming Dynasty was considered a relatively practical weapon.

Red-clothed cannons are very convenient for siege. Since they are solid bullets, one shot can basically cause a big hole to be made by a mixed city gate of ordinary wood and iron, and a few shots can be used to break the city gate.

Although the red-clothed cannon is bulky, if it is just used to attack the city of South American natives or Nanzhao, you can dispatch Yidan and Yarou to let Yidan, a strong man, cooperate with Yarou, who can open the space gate, transport the cannons to any place that cannot be defended at any time, and fire the cannon at night...

The picture is so beautiful that I can't imagine it.

Yang Yun didn't have to think about these things before, it wasn't that he couldn't imagine, it was that he didn't need them.

Now it's different. Li Longji gave him the power to lead troops and gave him a seemingly extremely difficult task, which is to completely pacify Nanzhao.

Now it's time for him to think about it.

"Master, it will take several days to build it... There are too many things to build now, so I don't know which one to build first?" Wu Yuan hesitated.

Yang Yun seemed to need everything, which made her not know how to choose.

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Each new type of musket and cannon must be made... In the past, when we were in Luoyang, we only had a few of us to study it, and the progress was very slow. Now the situation is different. With so many people in Tianfang Kingdom, and there are many people obsessed with alchemy in Chengdu, we can call for it at any time. As long as we have ideas, will it be difficult for people to put it into practice?"

Wu Yuan thought for a while and nodded.

She agreed with Yang Yun's statement, but felt that what Yang Yun was going to do now seemed to be too eager for quick success and even a little crazy.

Yang Yun said: "Before the end of the year, we will solve the problem of Nanzhao. We can't wait until we will return to Luoyang next year, but we will find that time is wasted and nothing is done... Isn't it better to solve some things earlier?"

Wu Yuan realized that Yang Yun was talking about Yang Yuhuan giving birth and even allowing Li Longji to "attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven."

She was the only person around Yang Yun who knew all the details. She knew many of the inside stories that she knew were not even Yang Yuhuan. She immediately felt the urgency of time.

To complete the military reunion within two or three months, to go to the expedition, to study new weapons, and to prepare for returning to Luoyang City. Everything seems to be too hasty.

She finally understood why Yang Yun would do things so day and night after he arrived in Shu, because time waited for no one.

...

...

During the Mid-Autumn Festival that Yang Yun celebrated in Chengdu, he enjoyed the people and became accompanied with the officials and gentry in Yizhou, winning praise.

On August 19th, the Central Army, including the military supervisor, and the guards of honor belonging to the Jiedu Mansion arrived in Chengdu.

On August 21st, Wang Ji, Songmei and others arrived and moved into the inn.

On August 23rd, the last group arrived and Liu Qingyuan was in the team.

Yang Yun received Liu Qingyuan at noon, but did not arrange for her to move into the Jieshuai Mansion. After all, Zhang Yu and Li Konger had arrived four days ago. These two women were married by the emperor and were the first wife and concubines who were formally married by Ming matchmakers. Their rights and interests cannot be violated. Yang Yun could only place Liu Qingyuan in a villa in the city.

After all, Yang Yun and Liu Qingyuan were married, so they stayed at Liu Qingyuan that afternoon.

It was not until sunset that Yang Yun got up from the couch. He sorted out his thoughts and went to America to invent it at night, but he insisted on having supper with Liu Qingyuan.
