"I wonder what Mr. Xu is going to plan next? Are you willing to continue to follow me?" Kong Youde wanted to recruit him. After all, he didn't know how to make a flints. It just so happened that someone who knew the method of making it was willing to let him go.

"Thank you for your kindness. Xiaosheng originally planned to go back to his hometown in Shanghai. When he happened to meet the general in the middle, he suddenly wanted to join the general and try the power of this self-generated gun.

Now that we have seen the effect, it is time to continue our original itinerary. Along the way, we have been protected by General Kong. Xiaosheng can see that the general has taken a fancy to this self-produced gun, so he will give this to the general to repay the general for his protection over the past few days."

Kong Youde also guessed that Xu Ermo would definitely refuse, because he had said before that he only followed him and witnessed a battle. Deping surrendered directly. Shanghe was defeated by Li Jiucheng before Kong Youde arrived. There was no war before he arrived in Xincheng, so he followed him all the way to Xincheng. Now that he got the result he wanted, he naturally had to leave.

Kong Youde didn't plan to force him to stay. Although the person didn't stay, there was a flintstone sample, which was good. Although it was just a test piece, it was enough.

"Since Mr. Xu still has his own affairs, I will no longer try to keep him. However, if Mr. Xu wants to come to Dengzhou in the future, I will welcome him at any time."

Xu Ermo pondered for a while and said, "I don't know whether to say something or not. Xiaosheng still wants to say something. General Kong should look back as soon as possible. Xiaosheng still understands Uncle Sun's character. When General Kong looks back now, Uncle Sun will definitely be able to protect the general.

Of course, the young actor cannot control General Kong's choice. If General Kong persists and makes a successful plan, since he can treat me well as a person he has never known, please treat my brother, Uncle Sun and others well."

This is like what a normal person said. Kong Youde was happy when he heard this. "Thank you for your kindness. I will arrange these things freely. Sun Junmen and Mr. Xu's brothers will definitely take good care of you. Mr. Xu, don't worry."

Then he said to the newly promoted personal soldiers captain Huang Guizhong, "Take a few people with you to be responsible for protecting Mr. Xu's safety. Tomorrow morning, escort Mr. Xu out of the city."

Xu Ermo did not refuse, "Thank you, General Kong, Xiaosheng, say goodbye."

Then he left, Huang Guizhong also took people to follow him, and Xu Ermo found a good inn, but now it was time for war, and the inn owner did not dare to open the door.

Huang Guizhong didn't say anything nonsense and broke into the door. Under the threat of the big knife, the inn owner vacate the best guest room for Xu Ermo to live in.

After Xu Ermo left, Kong Youde took the flint rifle he gave and couldn't let go. Although he knew that flint rifle was more advanced than a flint rifle, it was the main weapon on the battlefield for a long time in the future.

But the problem is that he himself did not know how to make flints, and he had no relevant knowledge before. Now that he has samples, it is not difficult to recruit some skilled craftsmen.

Although this flint rifle has various shortcomings, such as pulling the trigger is difficult, it is still a flint rifle, which is much better than a flint rifle. The most obvious thing is the lifting of the shot.

Save the time to install medicine and ignite the fuse, and put the fuse in the fuse clamp, the firing time is reduced by at least half, and the fire density is greatly improved. If it can be improved, the shooting can be improved even more.

Moreover, there is no need to ignite the fuse. You can keep it for a long time after loading the medicine and find the best time to shoot. Unlike a fuse gun, after the fuse is ignited, the waiting time for the firing should not be too long, otherwise, the fuse must be lit again after the fuse is burned.

However, it is not the task to create a large number of flints, and there is no sufficient time and a stable environment to create.

The most urgent task at present is to deal with the 5,000 Fubiao camp brought by Wang Daochun. Thinking of this, Kong Youde couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

After the battle in Xincheng, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng had more than 6,000 men left. If a group of soldiers were recruited in Xincheng, it would probably reach 8,000 men. It seems that the number is more than Wang Daochun, but in fact it is not the case.

The core combat power of these 8,000 people was the soldiers who were originally brought from Dengzhou. After several battles, they were only more than two thousand. The rest were recruited by the garrison soldiers and refugee prisoners. After several battles, they were indeed more combat power than the garrison soldiers, but the height was limited.

Moreover, Wang Daochun not only has Fubiao Camp, but also can mobilize nearby guards. By then, the number of enemies will probably reach 10,000, or even more. Although Kong Youde is very confident in defeating Wang Daochun, if the loss is too great, the subsequent things will be difficult.

While pondering, Bai Yunlong came back to report to the general, "Reported to the general that most of the members of the Wang family have been controlled, and some of them are missing and are being searched."

"So quickly? How many people have you caught?" Kong Youde was still very satisfied with his subordinates' work, and his efficiency is getting higher and higher.

"Except for the five bedrooms where Wang Shier is located, there are more than 1,200 people in the other seven bedrooms, more than 1,30 adult men, more than 60 children, and the rest are family members and elderly people."

The number of people is obviously much larger than Kong Youde expected. I originally thought that the Wang family had at most two or three hundred people, but in the end there were more than one thousand people, and not all of them were. Some of them had not been caught yet, and many of them were officials outside.

"Have you found out how many members of the Wang family are working as officials outside?" Since there are so many people at home, Kong Youde probably has many people working as officials outside.

"According to Wang Shier, there are about 30 people, and the highest officials include the Right Assistant Minister of Personnel, the Left Assistant Censor, the Right Administrator of Huguang, the Military Division, the Deputy Envoy of Guangxi Censorship, etc., and other officials at all levels." Bai Yunlong was also a little worried when he said that these officials were not small roles, and their power in the court was still quite large.

Kong Youde couldn't help but frown when he heard this. The Wang family is really lush with trees and deep roots. In addition to so many great people, many of the older generation have retired and recuperated at home. The second generation has also produced so many officials, and now the third generation has so many people. If they continue to show it, that would be great.

How to deal with the Wang family members caught now is a big problem. The original plan was to cut them all, but now it seems that it cannot be handled so simply and roughly.

If they really kill them all, the Wang family who are officials outside will end up with them forever. They have nothing to fear, but they will definitely affect their future plans.

Kong Youde wanted to rule the rule of the Denglai instead of fighting with the court forever. Sooner or later, he would be exhausted to death. Sooner or later, he would be killed. Sooner or later, he would be hurt by the court and then he would have the possibility of separatism after peace talks with the court.
