As the saying goes, leave a line in your work, and see you in the future. In fact, it is the same not only to do things, but also to speak.

The armament issue is so extensive, it is really a bit beyond Gao Pragmatic's expectations, originally he thought that this was mainly the head and end of the local health station, and it was great that some nobles were involved. If this is the case, he is still somewhat confident that he will find a way to solve it, or even if it can't be "solved", he should at least be able to open a little back door to individual places to make a special case, such as Jizhou, such as Xuanda.

But Qi Jiguang's words made him dare not pick up at will, after all, from the military department to the local civil officials, and from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to the local guards, all of them are related to this, not to mention that he is only a prince to read, even if it is a high arch, he can't stand the attack of the two major groups of civil and military, right? Offend the grasshoppers on this rope together, I'm afraid that even the emperor can't stand it.

So in the end, Gao Pragmatic didn't dare to make any clear guarantees, but just said to go back and slowly figure out a way.

This time, he couldn't solve the problems he raised, and he really felt a little unbearable on his face, so he had to give "compensation" on the other hand. So, Gao Pragmatism provided Qi Jiguang with a specific idea to improve the combat effectiveness of the musket troops, which seemed inconspicuous at first, but the effect was obvious.

"Qi Dudu, as far as I know, the current bird gun or Saigong gun, in terms of filling gunpowder, mainly relies on individual soldiers to grasp the weight according to experience, right?"

Qi Jiguang nodded and said: "That's right, it's always been like this, which is one of the reasons why I am extremely strict with military discipline, only if they don't make mistakes in their subconscious actions, they won't make mistakes when they are busy fighting." After all...... You are also an expert in firearms, and the gunpowder is loaded, and if you load it less, it will be weak and powerful, and if you load it more, it may cause the barrel to explode, so this is also a last resort. ”

Gao pragmatically smiled: "I have a small way to solve this problem." ”

"Oh?" Qi Jiguang's eyes lit up, he became interested, and asked: "Gao Shishu always has a genius to read, I don't know what kind of surprise it can bring to Qi this time, Qi is here to listen!" ”

"Qi Dudu is polite." Gao pragmatic said, folded up a paper roll in his hand, made it into a cylinder, shook it to Qi Jiguang, and said with a smile: "Qi Dudu, please take a look, it's solved." ”

"Uh...... Well? This question may be a bit out of line, Qi Jiguang didn't keep up with the train of thought all of a sudden, and he looked a little stunned.

Gao Shishi still smiled, and folded a paper tube again in the same way, before saying: "Qi Dudu, these two paper tubes are the same size, and they can be filled with gunpowder......

"Smack!" Qi Jiguang slapped his thigh suddenly and said loudly: "Wonderful! ”

He Huo Ran stood up and said excitedly: "Lao Tzu said: 'Difficult things in the world must be done easily. The big things in the world must be done in detail'. Gao Shiyu, your finishing touch, Qi really understood it today! Admire, admire! ”

Gao Shishi maintained a reserved smile on his face, looked at the excited Qi Jiguang, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, this is really a general who values the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army as much as Mount Tai.

In fact, this method of high pragmatism is the precursor of the paper shell fixed ammunition that appeared later in history, but it is still too primitive, and the word "bullet" cannot be talked about, but it is just "paper shell fixed ammunition". But even so, it is of great significance for the use of muskets at this stage: its appearance can greatly reduce the harm caused by the inaccurate charge of soldiers on the battlefield due to various reasons, which in turn greatly improves combat efficiency.

Qi Jiguang came back from the excitement at this time, and bowed to Gao Shishi: "Qi is a generation...... Qi thanked him. ”

Gao Pragmatic restrained his smile, also stood up, returned the salute in a proper manner, and said: "I don't want to seal the marquis, I hope the sea is peaceful." Qi Dudu doesn't need to thank me, the kid just admires the governor's ambition and wishes, and is willing to help the governor. ”

Qi Jiguang was a little surprised, but still said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." After a pause, he said: "This time I met with Gao Shiyu, Qi has benefited a lot, and I really don't know how to repay ......."

"Qi Dudu is polite, Du Du agreed to train the guards for me, which is already a great reward." Gao replied with a smile.

Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "Otherwise, Qi Mou has always asked himself a little bit of experience in training, Gao Shiyu sent those dozens of people, not to mention the food conceit, even the residence was built by themselves, so there is no burden on Qi, it is nothing more than standing in a small team during training, and nothing is delayed, what is the reward?" ”

Gao pragmatic smiled: "That's also the face of the governor." ”

Qi Jiguang didn't even dare to say it, and then said: "I just heard that Gao Shiyu wants to buy a large piece of land near Kaiping to find iron and coal, and then smelt iron and make steel?" Even...... Want to buy Kaiping City and let Kaiping Zhongtun Wei move the defense? ”

Gao pragmatically nodded and said: "This is true, but Kaiping is a military town after all, and if you want to let it move out, there is a lot of trouble." Governor, you also know that Wu Huanzhou, the deputy envoy of Yongping's military garrison (referring to Wu Dui, Wu Dui's number Huanzhou. He was a protégé of my third uncle, and even he thought it was not easy to do...... It seems that I was thinking too simply. ”

Qi Jiguang looked at Gao Pragmatic carefully, whether he wanted to distinguish the credibility of Gao Pragmatic's words from Gao Pragmatic's demeanor. But Gao Shishi's face was calm, and he didn't show any other looks at all.

"It's really unprecedented to let the military town move because of private land purchases...... Qi Jiguang frowned deeply, pondered for a while, considered the words, and said: "Although I really want to talk about it, this kind of operation does not violate the law of the Ming Dynasty, but after all, it is inevitable that there are some appalling ......."

Gao pragmatic did not answer, because Qi Jiguang's words obviously had follow-ups.

Sure enough, Qi Jiguang paused, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "However, Qi has a way to avoid such troubles. ”

Gao Shishi's eyes lit up and asked, "Oh? Ask Qi Dudu, will the plan be released? ”

Qi Jiguang said: "I am the general soldier of Jizhou, Kaiping is the defense area under my jurisdiction, the reason why the imperial court set up a guard here is mainly as the rear support point of Yongping Mansion in military terms, to transport the soldiers, horses and materials sent from Beijing to Yongping and Shanhaiguan, so from the military point of view, this place should not be abandoned." ”

Gao pragmatic was suddenly a little deflated. On the issue of this kind of military deployment, he asked himself that even Qi Jiguang's little finger was not as good, since Qi Jiguang thought so, then he would definitely not be able to fight.

Unexpectedly, Qi Jiguang continued: "But if you really want to say that Kaiping Town is the most ideal location for this support point, but it is not the case - can Gao Shiyu know Yifeng Horse Station? ”

The horse post is the official communication road of the Ming Dynasty, with the Beijing division as the center of the country, but the horse post of the Ming Dynasty is very developed, where there is a horse post, Gao pragmatic usually does not study this, naturally he can't remember clearly, so he shook his head.

Qi Jiguang was not surprised, smiled, picked up the paper and pen on the table, and quickly drew a simple picture.
