Within just a few days, the Song Dynasty sent troops one after another, sweeping several large tribes on the border, and declared Cao Wei's strong return with thunder. For a time, the tribes on the border were also silent. Many tribes even braved the cold and retreated their tribe's base to the north for dozens of miles to avoid Cao Wei's blade.

The tribes that were swept away were all tribes that dared to enter the Song Dynasty before, and Cao Wei also used this matter to warn the tribes on the border. In the future, someone would dare to enter the Song Dynasty to commit illegal things, and these tribes would be their fate.

Of course, in addition to shocking the tribes on the border, Cao Wei's real target was actually the Dangxiang people. To be precise, the Dangxiang people led by Li Deming. Because just before Cao Wei took office, the Dangxiang people secretly accumulated troops on the border of the Song Dynasty and even sneaked into a city in the Song Dynasty. This is also one of the reasons why Liu E quickly restored Cao Wei to his post, because only Cao Wei could make the Dangxiang people feel afraid.

Sure enough, Cao Wei's series of actions quickly worked. Not only did all ethnic groups on the border express their surrender, but Li Deming also became honest immediately. Not only did he retreat his troops, Li Deming also sent people to Qingzhou to discuss with Cao Wei, saying that he wanted to build a large-scale construction in Xingzhou and build a palace city, so he wanted to trade some needed materials with the Song Dynasty.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Deming actually wanted to use this matter to tell Cao Wei that he had already planned to build a palace in Xingzhou honestly and would definitely not use troops to the Song Dynasty again. It can be said that it was a disguised surrender.

Li Zhang was unable to get involved in these border battles for the time being, but his purpose in coming to Qingzhou has been achieved. The musket battalion performed well in the initial battle. Although there were many problems, many of them were common problems for new recruits to go to the battlefield. In the future, as long as there were more blood, it would naturally be solved. In addition, there were some cooperation with other troops, as well as defects in the musket battalion itself.

However, the above problems can be solved slowly. The most important thing now is to expand the scale of musket use. So in addition to the good news sent by Cao Wei to the capital, Li Zhang also wrote a letter himself, introducing the results of the musket camp in detail to Liu E. Of course, some shortcomings were not hidden. After all, this would appear more real and more convincing the suspicious Liu E.

It is worth mentioning that after the Battle of Zhangshan tribe, the reputation of the musket camp suddenly started. After all, in addition to killing or capturing, many people from Zhangshan tribe escaped. Through these people's mouths, the outside world also knew about the weapon of musket. Moreover, the people of Zhangshan tribe were killed by muskets and their power on muskets was exaggerated a lot. At the end, some people even said that the Song people could use magic. On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Song people could spit fire in their hands. Every time they sprayed fire, they could make the enemy fall down, and it was unstoppable.

Originally, the musket was kept secret in the Song Dynasty. Even after the Musket Battalion came to Qingzhou, only a few senior generals such as Cao Wei knew about it. However, after this battle, the musket could no longer be kept confidential. Many people inside knew about it. However, the speculation from the outside world did not deny nor acknowledge it. Anyway, the more the outside world exaggerated the power of the musket, the stronger the deterrence of the musket on the battlefield, which is also a good thing for the Song Dynasty.

"Have you vented?" Li Zhang poured a glass of wine for Jinshan and asked with a smile. During this period, Jinshan continued to return to the mine, but instead became a supervisor, with the purpose of revenge on those who had bullied him.

"It's so satisfying. Brother Li, you didn't see how we messed with those bastards. This is the happiest thing I have ever done in my life!" Before Jinshan could speak, Di Qing shouted first.

In contrast, Jinshan next to him smiled calmly and said, "I finally gave this anger. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have to swallow my anger in the mine now."

"What do friends do to do this? I actually have good news to tell you today!" Li Zhang smiled again. He didn't ask how Kingsoft retaliated against those people, because there was almost no good thing for those who ruled the king in places like mines, and even if they were killed, they deserved it.

"What good news? You can't get us out of the mine?" Di Qing asked excitedly while gnawing on the mutton. Although he was impulsive, he was not only not stupid, but also very smart. It was just that he had not learned to control his emotions, so he usually seemed not mature.

"Haha, it's almost the same. But you still stay in the mine in name, but in fact you can recover your freedom. You only need to go to the mine every three months to sign up!" Li Zhang laughed again at this time. He had thought about transferring Kingsoft and the others out of the mine before, but recently he found a better solution.

"There is such a good thing?" Di Qing couldn't help but say overjoyed when he heard Li Zhang's words. If it was really like Li Zhang said, then they were actually no different from normal people.

"Minutes are probably not released so easily. Li Zhang, you must have given the mine some benefits, right?" Jinshan asked calmly.

"It's not a good thing. It's just that you can replace your work with ten prisoners of war. From now on, the work of these ten prisoners of war will be on your head!" Li Zhang smiled again and said, Hu Yan Shouxin and others defeated Zhangshan tribe and captured a lot of prisoners of war. So Li Zhang consulted at the mine supervisor, which made the other party agree to exchange the freedom of Jinshan and Di Qing for ten prisoners of war.

"Ten people replace two people, the mining supervisor is really good at making a calculation." Jinshan couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Zhang's words. The mine mines have a fixed number of ore every month. If it fails to complete the mining supervisor, the more people they mine, the better. It is natural that they can't afford to exchange for ten people.

"It's just prisoners of war. This time Hu Yan Shouxin and others destroyed the Zhangshan tribe. The prisoners alone brought thousands of people, most of whom were women and children, and there were also prisoners on the battlefield. These people were stained with blood from our Song people. It was a bargain for them to survive and mine." Li Zhang said calmly at this time.

When he said this, Li Zhang suddenly thought of something and asked Jinshan again: "By the way, except for you who can't leave Qingzhou, everything else is like ordinary people. Have you ever thought about what to do? If you want to join the army, I can also make arrangements for you."
