Chapter 165: The Brothers Are Not Convinced

A few days later, Ma Xiuying led the Wang family and the Tian family to personally choose a big mansion that everyone was satisfied with and moved in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige is there, and as soon as he revealed that he wanted to change his house, a large household immediately took the initiative to provide a residence. Ma Xiuying and the others chose a five-entry mansion. The layers of gatehouses and wings are like a set of independent villas, the first two are used as the outer courtyard, Li Zhen and the three boys live in the third room, and the last two live in the female dependents and Zhu Yuanzhang.

After the family affairs were arranged, Zhu Yuanzhang focused on the army, and he was busy and couldn't return home for several days. Rewarding soldiers, dividing the administration, counting the spoils of war, and disposing of the bullies...... A series of measures have been implemented in an orderly manner. In order to appease the people and no longer have the chaotic situation in Dingyuan, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that in addition to the belongings of the Yuan people, all soldiers are not allowed to disturb the people, they are not allowed to rob the people of anything, they are not allowed to take women, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with.

This measure was supported by the local people, the people's mood calmed down, the people's livelihood gradually returned to normal, and those who fled from the wind also returned to Chuzhou one after another, and some wealthy people who saw the wind and steered the rudder even took the initiative to donate money and food to the army.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang does not refuse to come, and the more the merrier. It's a pity that when the Yuan people fled, they took a large amount of gold and silver with them, leaving only the official residence and some food and weapons that were too late to destroy. He handed over the spoils of war and the money and grain donated by the people to Li Shanchang for registration and processing, and began to recruit skilled craftsmen in the city to establish a craftsman camp.

This was the suggestion of Ma Xiuying, whose invented explosive bag has been widely used in Guo Zixing's army. But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bring many people with him when he left Haozhou, and he fought all the way and had no fixed place to live, so he had time and place to make these things when he arrived in Chuzhou.

The craftsman camp was built in a mountain col thirty miles outside the city, originally Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried that such sharp weapons as explosives bags were not under his eyelids, Ma Xiuying insisted that it must be developed in a no-man's land, and once the gunpowder exploded, it was not a joke. To this end, she also personally observed the artisan workshop, checked the safety measures, and made sure that everything was correct before teaching the artisan to make explosives bags.

When the explosive bags were successfully made, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and with these explosive bags, his army was like a tiger. Many generals who had never seen explosives packs before rushed to apply for them as soon as they saw its power, which were sharper than bows and arrows and lighter than artillery, and they had realized that explosives packs would become one of the most important factors in determining victory or defeat on the battlefield.

Just as the generals were scrambling for the explosives bag, Ma Xiuying sighed at the fire gun that no one asked.

The fire gun was developed by the Yuan people according to the firing principle of the Southern Song Dynasty assault gun, compared with the fire gun, there are many improvements, long service life, fast rate of fire...... But its clumsy ignition and single launch are still criticized. If the firearm can't fire ammunition, it's just an ordinary metal pipe, and you can't stab people into it, which makes people very unaccustomed to hand-to-hand combat, so many soldiers would rather wield a broadsword and spear than fight the enemy with a firecracker.

In her previous life, Ma Xiuying in the police academy in addition to learning a variety of investigation majors, but also to learn to capture the enemy, shooting, driving and other training, if you say who is most familiar with firearms in this world, it is estimated that she is the only one, give her a bunch of pistol parts, she can successfully assemble a pistol and shoot in a short time. It's a pity that she only understands the principles of firearms, and it is undoubtedly a dream to make a pistol, and the talent who can make gun accessories and alloy metal materials has not yet been born.

Fortunately, the principle of firearms can also improve some of the deficiencies of the gun, Ma Xiuying ordered the craftsmen to use the metal with a high melting point to make the gunning wall, so that the firearm has good ablation resistance, strong pressure resistance, and is not easy to burst, and can adapt to the increase in chamber pressure due to the improvement of gunpowder properties and the increase in charge. The smooth inner wall also allows the charge remaining in the chamber after firing to be timely, thereby increasing the rate of fire.

She also demanded that in the future, the firecrackers must be cast in batches according to certain specifications, and the size of each part of the design can only have a small error, so that if the accessories of a certain firecracker are lost, the suitable accessories can be found in the same batch of firearms, and at the same time, because of the accuracy of the design, the safety performance and control range of the firecrackers when firing are greatly improved.

The power of the improved firecracker is much stronger than that of the original Yuan-type firecracker, and the range is incomparable to that of the explosives pack. Zhu Yuanzhang saw the demonstration of the firearm and immediately ordered the craftsmen to make explosives bags and firearms, which were later frequently used in his army, and made great contributions to his seizure of power.

Ma Xiuying has been busy for more than half a month to develop explosives bags and firearms, and finally came to an end and could rest, but before she could rest for two days, someone came to the door.

It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang left the Taishou Mansion vacant and left it to Guo Zixing, and his family only lived in an ordinary house, Zheng Yuchun, Zhou Dexing, and others were not convinced, and shouted that the Chuzhou City that the boss had defeated should be cheaper for Guo Zixing? They persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to move back to the Taishou Mansion, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused, so they planned to find Ma Xiuying directly, because they heard that Ma Xiuying did not let Zhu Yuanzhang live in the Taishou Mansion. I didn't dare to disturb Ma Xiuying when I knew that Ma Xiuying was busy with explosives bags and firearms, and I couldn't wait to come to the door to see Ma Xiuying when she was not busy.

Ma Xiuying greeted her with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness." However, my lord and I both agreed that the Taishou Mansion should be left to my father-in-law, and he is the generalissimo of our Red Turban Army. ”

"That's your father-in-law, and of course you speak to him. Zhou Dexing said indignantly: "His father and son joined forces to bully adults, and they still look down on us brothers, why should we admit him?"

Everyone echoed: "Yes, the adults are charging outside, and their father and son are hiding in Haozhou without a single soldier but want to enjoy their success, it's not fair!"

"Yes, they don't have any strength at all, they can't give them any benefits in vain!"

Ma Xiuying's face sank, "You don't want to trap my master for being unkind and unjust!" The master has prepared a celebration banquet for everyone in the best restaurant in the city, and invited the generals to move to the restaurant to have a drink. Then he ordered the servant to close the door and greet the guests. Since Zhu Yuanzhang refuses to offend people, she can only sing with a white face.

Xun Ying said angrily: "Master, you are so good to the master, and you have taken a lot of care of them along the way, and even forgot to sleep and eat for the sake of weapons, they even said that you are biased towards Marshal Guo, which is really wolf-hearted." ”

Ma Xiuying smiled faintly, "A group of big bosses, why bother with them." In fact, I am very happy that they can fight for the starling's mansion, which shows that in their hearts, the starling is more important than the stepfather, and they will follow the starling with all their hearts in the future. ”

Xun Ying snorted: "People are fine, but their brains are not good. ”

Outside the gate of Zhu's mansion, everyone looked at each other and was worried, "We seem to have offended Mrs. Ma by making such a fuss." ”

Zhou Dexing stomped his feet, "What are you afraid of, she is unreasonable." Let's go to the restaurant and talk to the adults. ”

Zheng Yuchun followed behind and hesitated: "The things that Mrs. Ma decided will never change, I'm afraid it's useless to tell the adults." ”

"Let's go, let's go, anyway, we're going to the restaurant to celebrate. Hua Yun urged everyone, he was anxious to see Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang still owed him a daughter-in-law.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Li Shanchang, Xu Da and others were there. The civil officials were next to the civil officials, and the military generals relied on the military generals, sat on more than a dozen tables, and stuffed a restaurant to the brim. Laughter, congratulations, and the sound of fist guessing and drinking are endless.

Zheng Yuchun saw Zheng Yulin and complained: "Big brother, why don't you stop me, ask us to run for nothing, and eat Mrs. Ma's head, you should drink first." ”

Zheng Yulin rejoiced: "I originally wanted to go with you, but I was stopped by Tang He, fortunately, ......"

Xu Da shouted: "What are you muttering, don't go to see the adults yet." Your Excellency mentioned you just now. ”

"Yes, I have to persuade my lords well, and don't listen to women in everything. Guo Zixing is Mrs. Ma's father-in-law, of course she is towards her father-in-law, but the credit of our adults cannot be given to Guo Zixing in vain. Zheng Yuchun pushed away his eldest brother and walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang's seat.

Xu Da's face changed, grabbed Zheng Yuchun and a few people, and said: "What nonsense, Secretary Li has already analyzed the benefits and disadvantages for us just now, we are still Guo Zixing's subordinates, and we can't do things too publicly, otherwise we will harm the adults if we are honest." ”

Zhou Dexing was not convinced, and shouted: "We are a good heart, how can we harm adults?"

"If you make a big fuss, you're harming adults. Tang He joined the persuasion camp, "At first, Xu Da and I couldn't figure it out, but then I understood after listening to Secretary Li's words." Think about it, do you have to hand over the spoils of war to the above, there is also a Marshal Guo above our lordship, if the lord leaves the best things and doesn't hand them over, what will Marshal Guo think if he knows?"

"No matter what he thinks, it's not the Chuzhou he led us to build. ”

"But we are always Marshal Guo's troops in name, how can we do something against the master?" Tang He sighed, "Don't make trouble, Mrs. Ma will never harm the adults." ”

"That is, every woman in the family wants to get things, but you can't think of them. Xu Da smiled evilly, and the contempt in his eyes was self-evident.

Zheng Yulin couldn't see that his brother was at a loss, and retorted: "If it weren't for Secretary Li's persuasion, you wouldn't be as impulsive as my brother." ”

"Ahem. Xu Da choked and sat down with his nose sneering.

Zhou Dexing said sullenly: "Is it so cheap Guo Zixing?"

Xu Da pulled him to sit down, "For the time being, this can only be the case." Secretary Li said, this is called obscurity, and when our team is getting stronger and stronger, we will ...... sooner or later."

"Hey, these people who read so many hearts. Zheng Yuchun sat down and poured a glass of wine fiercely. The reason is understood, but the mind is uneasy, and it seems that Ma Xiuying has offended, I hope Ma Xiuying will not blow the pillow wind that is unfavorable to him in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.

"You guys drink first, and I'll go see your lordship. Hua Yun didn't sit down, but walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang's seat.

Tang He shouted: "It's all so clear, you still want to make trouble?"

"Private matters, private matters. "Hua Yuntou won't go back, if you don't find Zhu Yuanzhang, you won't have a daughter-in-law.
