Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

the next day.

Following Ge Daqiang's advice, Shen Moshen recruited and established the Qingcheng Security Company in Qingcheng.

The two thousand guns we captured from Feng the Bald's troops are now coming in handy.

According to the plan, Shen Moshen intends to establish security companies in all six counties of Qingzhou.

Set up another security battalion in Gyeongju.

The reason for adopting the company and battalion organization is mainly because Shen Moshen is currently only a regimental commander.

If security regiments were established in every county, and everyone were called a regimental commander, it would feel somewhat inappropriate.

Therefore, it was decided to set up security companies in the counties and security battalions in the prefectures.

They could recruit people using those two thousand-plus guns.

The guns seized from Baldy Feng were quite good; they were all Salomon-made.

No wonder Baldy Feng suddenly became so assertive, even thinking of playing the role of the opportunist with the support of the Salo people.

Unfortunately, his advances lasted only three seconds before Shen Moshen had already taken care of the ambitious Baldy Feng...................

During this time, Shen Moshen planned to complete all the tasks he could.

They are secretly accumulating strength, ready to strike at any moment!

Soon, the landlords and gentry in the other five counties of Qingzhou also failed to escape the fate of being exploited.

Shen Moshen not only made a fortune from this, but also created a positive image for himself in the eyes of the people of Qingzhou.

Shen Moshen has already completed the "Popular Will" series of missions 7 times.

It is said that there will be a surprise reward when you achieve "Popular Support 10".

Furthermore, after taking control of Gyeongju and its six subordinate counties, [they]...

Shen Moshen also obtained the achievement title of "Lord of a Province" and received a reward of a "High-Quality Iron Ore Resource Site" and a "Grade B Weapon Gift Pack".

[High-Quality Iron Ore Resource Area] can transform a designated area into a corresponding mining area.

The [Grade B Weapon Gift Pack] can randomly yield a certain number of weapons and equipment.

In addition, Shen Moshen also obtained a [D Army Armored Grenadier Battalion], a [D Army Armored Reconnaissance Battalion], and two [D Army Infantry Companies] by completing the mission.

However, just like with the [D Army Tank Battalion] he had acquired before, Shen Moshen did not deploy these troops.

Firstly, deploying these troops now would be too conspicuous.

Secondly, it was also out of consideration for saving costs—exchanging these troops too early would waste a lot of food.

After all, no matter how powerful the troops rewarded by the system are, they still need to eat...

As Shen Moshen's journey to supremacy progresses, the rewards from the system tasks will become increasingly generous.

Once Shen Moshen has established himself in Youzhou and become the military governor of Youzhou, he can use Youzhou as his base and, with the help of the system, develop mining and build factories to quickly advance his plan to strengthen the military!

-------------------------------------

While Shen Moshen was in Qingzhou researching how to better exploit the system's loopholes...

The Salo people's messengers, however, approached them on their own initiative.

"Commander, I heard that the Sharo people's survey team has discovered several mineral deposits in Youzhou."

"The Sharo people wanted to obtain mining rights in Youzhou, but they failed to reach an agreement with Commander Zheng after several talks."

"A newly discovered tin mine is not far from Gyeongju."

"After General Zheng died suddenly, the Salo people secretly approached Baldy Feng."

"They wanted to promote Feng the Bald to gain mining rights and railway control in Youzhou."

"On this matter, Commander Zheng's attitude is very clear."

"This is common knowledge in Youzhou."

"Therefore, the three brigade commanders of the 33rd Division who wanted to take over Marshal Zheng's position had already made their stance clear on this matter."

"Otherwise, the Sharo people wouldn't have come looking for Baldy Feng."

Good heavens... No wonder it's the all-knowing expert of the Great Qian Dynasty; it knows even these things perfectly well. This system is truly amazing...

"Now that I've killed Baldy Feng, do they see me as the next Baldy Feng?"

Shen Moshen rubbed his chin: "Let's go! Since they've come to us of their own accord, let's go and hear what they have to say!"

Soon, Shen Moshen led Ge Daqiang to the reception hall.

"Commander Shen!" Upon seeing Shen Moshen enter, the Salo merchant Izikiel Malen, who had come to visit, hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"My name is Izekiel Malen. I am here on behalf of the Salo Empire to visit Commander Shen."

"In addition, to show our sincerity, we also brought some gifts for Commander Shen."

As he spoke, a water-cooled heavy machine gun was brought up.

Shen Moshen took a look and noticed that the heavy machine gun that was being carried in looked very much like a Maxim heavy machine gun.

"This time we brought ten of these powerful heavy machine guns for Regiment Commander Shen as a congratulatory gift for his entry into Qingzhou. We hope Regiment Commander Shen will accept them with pleasure."

"I'll gladly accept it! Of course I'll gladly accept it!" Shen Moshen smiled. "If you don't want something given away for free, wouldn't you be completely out of your mind?"

"Then thank you..."

"Malen! Ezekiel Malen!" Seeing that Shen Moshen couldn't even remember the other person's name, Ge Daqiang whispered a hint.

"Oh! Yes! Mr. Mullen, I really like this gift, thank you!"

"I never expected Mr. Malen to speak Daqian language so fluently; if I didn't see him, I wouldn't have been able to tell that such fluent Daqian language came from the mouth of a foreigner."

"That saves me the trouble of searching for a translator on site."

"No need to look!" Ge Daqiang interjected, "The translators are right here! They're fluent in all foreign languages!"

"Secretary Ge, you've given me another surprise."

"From now on, when we deal with those foreigners, we won't even need a translator."

"I'll definitely give you a raise!"

“Commander, let’s not talk about money between us.” Ge Daqiang said seriously, “I follow you not for money, but because I admire your personal charisma.”

"However, since the commander has spoken, it's a sign of consideration for his subordinates, so a raise would be acceptable..."

"Commander Shen..." Having been left out, Ezekiel Malen looked at Shen Moshen and Ge Daqiang, who were interrupting him with jokes, and had no choice but to speak again: "The reason I am here today is that I have some things I would like to discuss with Commander Shen."

"I'd like to hear the details!" Shen Moshen then invited Izekiel Malen to sit down and ordered his men to serve tea.

After all, they came with gifts, so we can't just not even offer them a cup of tea.

“Mr. Mullen, let’s sit down and talk this over…”
