In the following days, Cao Hua spent the days of armed fighting at the village entrance. News of a thousand "Black Feather Guards" rampant around Hangzhou also spread. A gust of wind blew back and forth several times, then swept the north side of the army cleanly and handed over the remaining county town to the rear troops to clean up.

The Hei Yuwei used to do things like this. It usually has no highlights, but once it is placed on the imperial guards, it will be different. In just a few days, the amazing record of defeating dozens of villages and enemy troops either die or escape made the just-coming Northwest Imperial Guard dumbfounded, and the Muzhou Guards felt invincible loneliness - is it rare that there is no general in this world?

Cao Hua has already "Wuanhua" and does not care about small reputations such as "unstoppable". It is said to the outside world that Zhao Huai led his troops to attack cities and plunder land, which can be regarded as a gold placing on his brother-in-law who has not yet made his name. This is also the little thought that King Kang asked him to carry Zhao Huai with him. After a few days, Zhao Huai really made a big fame, and all the titles within the "Brave Three Armys" emerged. Zhao Huai was not very steady in nature, and he just had to engrave the words "Brave Three Armys" on his back.

The prince's legitimate son can only be a scheming prince in the future. He cannot really lead troops to fight. Cao Hua did not stop Zhao Hua from piaolan.

As time came in early November, the imperial guards led by Tong Guan arrived in Hangzhou City. After the two sieges failed to work, they began to siege the city. Fang La's army was extremely tenacious in resistance, and it was impossible to break the city without siege, depending on the situation.

Cao Hua, with a thousand miscellaneous soldiers, naturally could not run to attack the city as cannon fodder. He just wandered around Hangzhou City and wiped out the exiled bandits. It was true that he had no choice but to attack, but there were too few people and could not cause any storm on the battlefield in Jiangnan.

The imperial guards siege for a month, and it seems that the end of the year is approaching.

It was not until the second day of December that the docking of a merchant ship at the port outside Hangzhou City caused some changes in the situation.

----

As winter comes, the wind and river are getting colder.

The boatman with a torn jacket dragged a thick rope to allow the cargo ship to dock gradually. There were already no tourists and pleasure boats coming and going on the pier. The imperial guards were stationed here, with military flags flying, and military supplies were transported from all over the place to unload them at the pier.

Cao Hua came to the dock where the merchant ship was docking. The black feather guards guarded on both sides, put down the pedals, and the two Diankui masters got down from above:

"See the Governor!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

Cao Hua took the booklet from the master Bo and handed it to Han'er, and then asked Lifu of the dock to start unloading the goods.

In the wheel of the 'Gulugulu', more than ten strongmen pushed the huge 'wooden cart' out of the boat in the cold winter wind. They were tied with red cloth, and the outline of the cylinder could be seen. Some people carried wooden barrels and trotted to the carriage that was docked at the dock.

Cao Hua was shocked. The black gunpowder was not very stable. He could not lift the dock into the sky after falling. He quickly flashed to the front and took the gunpowder barrel. He told the porter to take it and then returned to the cargo ship.

Han'er held the booklet and wrote a note for every thing he moved down, saying seriously: "The Grand Commander's Cannon, including two bronze cannons, two iron cannons, two tiger squat cannons, forty barrels of gunpowder, one hundred solid bullets, twenty flowering bullets, and ten thousand-mile mirrors..."

Cao Hua frowned slightly after listening for a long time: "That's all?"

When the Lord of Diankui Shibo heard this, his face felt a little painful: "Report to the Governor, the craftsman has spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to forge hundreds of large iron rods in the past two years. There are less than ten that can be used, so he will pull it over half of it this time. Most of these expenses are the silver you put in your mansion. If this happens, the treasury will not be able to withstand it..."

Cao Hua thought about it and had to wave his hand: "Forget it, with mature technology and experience, the cost will naturally come down. Let the yamen protect those craftsmen well, and they are all treasures."

The four cannons are extremely large in weight, with a single mass of about 2,000 kilograms. It is no problem to be made with current technology, but mass production is still a long way to go.

Cao Hua stroked the exquisitely crafted "Grandmaster's Cannon", and even the base cannon stand was made of yellow rosewood, and there was pattern. It was true that there was relief in his eyes, but more of them muttered secretly: These craftsmen really don't feel sorry for money...

--------

After the four cannons and several trucks of cargo were loaded, Lifu pushed them to the camping place, and the cargo ship was also ready to put away the pedals and leave.

Cao Hua was leading the horse and preparing to escort a pair of golden lumps back to the camp. Yu Guang suddenly found a tall little woman running down from the cargo ship, wearing a lotus-colored coarse cloth dress and holding a bun in silk cloth, looking like the chef on the boat.

Cao Hua frowned slightly, turned his head and looked at it carefully. The little woman's legs were tight, slender and wild, and her tension was difficult to hide. She buried her head and drilled into the dock.

A large number of imperial guards were stationed on the pier. When they saw someone breaking in a mess, they naturally stepped forward to stop him and asked.

The little woman seemed a little anxious and did not dare to look back. She just whispered to negotiate with the imperial guards. This sneaky action naturally made the garrison at the dock suspicious, and she immediately wanted to take it down and investigate.

The little woman was obviously panicked, and she was in a panic and bypassed the guards and rushed into the river.

"stop!"

"Catch her!"

The dock suddenly became noisy.

Cao Hua had already walked up to him, reached out and grabbed the little woman's belt on the waist, and pulled the little woman who had already jumped out of the river bank back.

"Woo--"

A crisp cry rang out.

The little woman covered her face with her sleeves, and did not look back, but just kept her head shut and continued to rush into the river.

Cao Hua's face was slightly cold, and he asked the running garrison to retreat, then raised his hand and slapped her on the butt. The force was very strong and made a crisp "sp-" sound.

The little woman shivered suddenly, not daring to move anymore, her shoulders trembled slightly, and within a moment, there was a faint sob.

“Turn around.”

Cao Hua frowned.

The little woman sobbed twice, hesitating and not moving.

Bang—

"Woo--Sir, stop hitting me, I was wrong..."

Mrs. Jing quickly turned around, forcibly suppressed the sob sound, and looked at Cao Hua with fear.

Emei was as painful as willow leaves and frowned slightly. Her charming eyes were full of tears. Her slightly mature cheeks were not applied to her. Her teeth were lightly biting her vermilion lips, her chest was rising and falling, and she let out sobbing from time to time.

"Who asked you to come?"

Cao Hua looked serious and raised his right hand and wanted to beat him.

Mrs. Jing hid her hand behind her, but she didn't dare to hide. She just looked at Cao Hua with aggrievedness and prayed with a little.

"How many times have you said, don't run around alone? You can't remember it or you don't take it seriously?"

"I...I..."

Cao Hua was angry, grabbed Mrs. Jing's wrist and pulled it into his arms, raised his hand and hit it a few times.

"Woo--"

Mrs. Jing shook her head vigorously, grabbed Cao Hua's hand, and cried: "Mr. Cao... I... I know I'm wrong..."

Cao Hua let go of his hand and said, "Go back." He turned around and left.

Mrs. Jing burst into tears. Seeing Cao Hua leaving with her sleeves, hesitated for a while, and trotted to follow:
Chapter completed!
