Sun Wukong was sitting in the big tent, thinking about how to make firearms. Although he could make a musket using a bamboo tube, the service life of the musket was very limited. If he filled it with a little more gunpowder, it might cause the barrel to explode, which was very dangerous.

Sun Wukong believed that iron was still necessary to make firearms and guns, and thick iron pipes would also be necessary to make cannons in the future.

But iron is too expensive, and the world's smelting technology is very backward. The smelted iron is of too low purity and is very easy to break.

"It seems that we will have to open an ironworks in the future."

There is a lot of copper in this world, and Sun Wukong thinks that copper can be used to cast fire lances and make other firearms. Copper can also be made into copper tubes and then copper cannons.

Sun Wukong instilled knowledge into his group every day and brainwashed them slowly. Sun Wukong completely closed off the experimental area, which was a bit far from the military camp. Sun Wukong also arranged for his trusted confidants to guard it so that the matter of gunpowder could not be leaked.

Sun Wukong also revealed his identity as King of Qin to the people in the research department. All the people in the research department signed a confidentiality agreement with Sun Wukong, and they were not allowed to tell anyone about anything here, including their families. Sun Wukong would give them a salary increase.

"Captain!"

While Sun Wukong was deep in thought, he heard someone calling him. He looked up and found that it was his personal guard Liu Chao.

"What's wrong? Did Liu Hai send a message back?"

"That's right. The captain sent back a message saying that General Quan Shan was appointed as the Imperial Commissioner and is investigating in Xianyang. Many people have been imprisoned. The captain has successfully contacted Xianyang and made contact with General Quan Shan."

Sun Wukong knew that he was missing a long time ago, and the emperor would definitely take action. After all, he was still a prince, and his assassination in Zhongzhou was a slap in the emperor's face. He also had a feeling that his actions might have always been under the emperor's control or under his observation.

If a prince were assassinated and disappeared, the consequences would not be so small. Even the crown prince might be under great threat. However, the current situation has not developed in that direction. Quan Shan's presence in Xianyang will be helpful to his development.

When the new recruits were one month old, Sun Wukong discovered many talented people, many of whom were orphans whose parents had both passed away and who had no one to rely on. Sun Wukong believed that these people were born for him.

Sun Wukong asked Liu Hai to bring all these people out. Then when Sun Wukong was patrolling in Yangping, he also found some beggars outside the county town. He gathered all these people together, a total of fifty people.

Sun Wukong brought these people to the deep mountains and forests, and equipped them with daggers, portable crossbows, and long swords. Sun Wukong trained them every day, teaching them how to fight, kill, the weaknesses of the human body, practice crossbows, and find the right aim. In this way, when Sun Wukong developed the musket, they would have a certain degree of accuracy. Although firearms have recoil, the recoil of muskets can be completely controlled.

They had already gone through a month of recruit training and already looked like soldiers. After Sun Wukong's meticulous training, more than a month later, they became the first special forces under Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong asked Liu Hai to go to Xianyang with his Qin King's token and take the special forces to make advance arrangements.

Sun Wukong wanted to build an intelligence organization of his own so that he could receive information about everything happening in Xianyang and learn about the wealthy and powerful families in Xianyang. After he became a foreigner, if he harmed the interests of these people, they would definitely take action on their own. Therefore, he must understand them so that he could take action when the time comes.

Sun Wukong asked Liu Hai to lead people into Xianyang in several batches. After entering Xianyang, they met through multiple secret codes. At that time, Sun Wukong felt as if someone was monitoring them.

At that time, Sun Wukong said to Liu Hai that if he wanted to do intelligence work, he must have his own intelligence base. Sun Wukong said that taverns and brothels were good choices.

So Liu Hai and the special forces who came to Xianyang opened a tavern and a brothel respectively. Some of the special forces worked as odd jobs in the brothel and the tavern, while others acted as guests to exchange information with the two intelligence bases. Of course, they also had to go to other stores to test the waters.

There is no need to worry that they will embezzle anything because their funds are limited. In addition to playing in these places, they can also find jobs to make money on their own, but they must not all be mixed together. Sun Wukong hopes that those individual people can be separated.

Liu Hai holds his King of Qin token, and he is his own representative. If Liu Hai opens a hotel, no one should come to cause trouble, but it is different at the brothel. Sun Wukong asks them to hide their identities, and if they want to get along well, they need to maintain good relationships.

Sun Wukong asked them to use the money to take care of those big families first, and promised to give them dividends every month, so that at least they would not be targeted by the big families. Sun Wukong naturally would not let them have an easy time. He swallowed his own money and made them spit it all out later.

His special forces will not always be intelligence officers. When he goes to Xianyang, he will replace them with others.

...................................................

In the back garden of Emperor Chaotiandu in Zhongzhou, the emperor was standing beside a pond, looking at the colorful koi in the pond, throwing some bait in from time to time. He looked really leisurely and elegant.

In the reflection of the pool, there is a person dressed in black. It is not clear and looks like a shadow. This shadow is next to the reflection of the emperor, but there is no one next to the emperor. However, there is a human figure in the reflection of the water.

"how is the situation"

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin dealt with the corrupt official Lin Biao and those bullies in Yangping. Now His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin seems to be training his troops."

"Training? How many people?"

"According to the spies, they recruited nearly 500 people three months ago, and recently they seem to have recruited another 3,000. Some of them have been assigned to government offices."

“Do you know how they practice?”

Sun Wukong could certainly train troops in his fiefdom, but the emperor wanted to know what Sun Wukong was trying to do. This prince, whom he usually didn't care about, became a different person after leaving Chaotiandu. Everything about him seemed very good and sophisticated.

"This subordinate only knows some ordinary training. He can't get through the military camp, and our people can't get in. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and his Royal Highness the Prince of Qin's guards have arrived in Xianyang and handed over to Quan Shan. They have also opened a tavern in Xianyang, and the guys inside are all their own people."

"Okay, back off!"

The shadow kept twisting on the water, but it disappeared immediately.
