"This new type of firecracker, I call it a bird's gun." Jiang Yuyan hung a piece of straw paper on a wooden board and made a simple blackboard, on which was the design of the bird's gun, and also used crooked characters to mark the key process: "Why is it called this name?" Because this kind of firearm is so accurate that it can even hit birds in the forest. ”

A few days had passed since that night's bloody battle, and Manggu Mountain had regained its unsettling calm. Jiang Yugang is still waiting for the appointment of the hundred households - the commander does not have this power, and must wait for the approval of the director of the military department of the military department who is with the army.

After a few days of waiting, he finally sorted out the design idea of the bird's gun, so he summoned several blacksmiths who were busy hunting because they didn't have to make fixed ammunition to study the bird's gun.

There is no need to make fixed ammunition because Jiang Yugang is still not sure what size standard bird gun these blacksmiths can make, so he simply makes bird guns first, and then develops and formulates ammunition.

Lu Chong and the other five craftsmen were quite fascinated by the design drawings drawn by Jiang Yugang, not because they recognized Jiang Yugang's words, but because they were moved by the beautiful appearance of the bird.

"Xiaoqi, I think you are a natural blacksmith." Zhang Dake sighed excitedly.

"Being able to come up with this kind of design is no longer something that can be described by the term "skilled craftsman." Xu Annian, who is the oldest and has always been the most stable, has his eyes lit up: "If the previous son-mother gun is still a traceable design, this bird gun is completely inspired by God." ”

Ah Tian also nodded: "The bird gun can be held with both hands when shooting, and with the logo design for approving shooting, the accuracy of shooting will be much higher than that of the fire gun." ”

"I think we'd better actually do it and then discuss it." Xu He's face was embarrassed: "The structure of this bird gun is very different from that of the fire gun, so I'll go to make iron first." ”

"It's really a lot more complicated than a firecracker." Jiang Yugang reminded: "There are some relatively fine polishing processes, and it will depend on your craftsmanship at that time." ”

"Xu He, this kid, has no other advantages, just being pragmatic." Xu Annian saw that his nephew was the first to be busy, and his face was full of relief.

"It's pragmatic and good, but now it will take a long time to go to iron smelting, and when the appointment of the hundred households is down, I will build a furnace in Manggu Mountain." Jiang Yuyan didn't know how many times he looked at the mountain road outside the courtyard, and if he didn't come down for a while, he had no one under him to do more things for a while.

And this time, a familiar figure finally appeared, Zhang Xiaoqi walked over with a stranger, Jiang Yu's heart was hot, and he hurriedly walked over to greet the two.

"Jiang Xiaoqi, I'm going to call you Jiang Baihu in the future." Zhang Xiaoqi's smile was a little envious, and he introduced the people around him to Jiang Yugang: "This is General Xu of the big battalion, and the right-hand man of Lord Wang Ji. ”

"Hello, Jiang Yu Xiaoqi." General Xu Shen looked indifferent, but his speech was quite polite: "I am ordered by the Ministry of Military Affairs to select and clear the officials, and I have come here to appoint you as a hundred households, and lead the soldiers of the Mengyang City Manggu Mountain Defense Line. ”

He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jiang Yuyan: "You led fifty soldiers, defeated four hundred enemy troops, and made meritorious contributions to the Mengyang garrison, and you are hereby commended." ”

"General Xie Xu, thank you for the troops." Jiang Yuran took the paperwork. At this time, the other soldiers in the camp, except for a few who were stationed outside, almost all surrounded them.

"Congratulations to Jiang Xiaoqi for being promoted to 100 households."

"Congratulations."

The soldiers of the Ming army had sincere smiles on their faces, and the voices of congratulations were endless, these soldiers were all fighting with Jiang Yugang all the way from Qujingwei to here, and in the bloody battles again and again, Jiang Yugang had become the most reliable person in their hearts.

It was also the first time for General Xu to see a small flag that could be embraced by so many people, and he was faintly shocked in his heart while maintaining a calm appearance: "In the future, you will be their hundred households, responsible for guarding the defense line of Manggu Mountain." ”

"Responsible? What is the specific responsibility law? "Taking advantage of the fact that there is General Xu from the big camp, Jiang Yugang still has to ask things clearly.

"First of all, it is natural to cooperate with the defense of Mengyang City, in addition, as a hundred households, you will be the highest officer of the defenders of Manggu Mountain in the future, and the general banner and small banner officers at all levels below you can be designated by you." General Xu was also quite patient in explaining.

As soon as Xu Shen said this, Jiang Yuyan only felt that there were several fiery eyes behind him, and how to arrange the positions of Xiaoqi and Zongqi was a troublesome matter.

However, there are still the most critical things that must be conveyed to this General Xu. Jiang Yugang tried his best to make himself look more serious, and then asked earnestly: "General, there were more than 100 people in the Manggu Mountain defense line at the beginning, and after several battles, now there are only 30 people left, if this continues, even if you want to do your best for the defense of Mengyang City, you can't do it, we need more people to replenish the personnel." ”

"Previously, 100 households and general banners were killed, dozens of us did not form a system, and it was just a matter of not meeting the conditions for supplementation, and now I was promoted to 100 households, and the only request was to ask General Xu to come forward and replenish Manggu Mountain to 100 people." Jiang Yu said nothing, and gave a military salute respectfully.

After all, General Xu is from the big camp, and after listening to Jiang Yugang's words, his face is quite relaxed. He nodded: "You can arrange the military affairs of the Manggu Mountain defense line by yourself, and the battalion will find a way to make up for the shortage of soldiers as soon as possible." ”

"Is there a deadline for this completion?" Jiang Yu asked subconsciously, and only felt bad when he said it. But there is no way, he doesn't want to be casually perfunctory, and it is almost impossible to use more than 30 people to defend Manggu Mountain.

Zhang Xiaoqi's face suddenly became a little ugly, and speaking like this almost meant that he didn't trust General Xu's promise, and forced General Xu to take care of the matter of Manggu Mountain's replenishment.

And Xu Shen didn't care much about Jiang Yu's unceremonious attitude, and replied calmly: "Naturally, as soon as possible, if you don't want to wait for the overall planning and dispatch of the big battalion, the easiest way is to transfer some people from Mengyang City." ”

"Okay, I'll ask the people to come now." Jiang Yuyan didn't believe that the current battalion still had extra manpower to dispatch, and if it was too late, there would be no more people. Hurry up and bite the bite, so as not to cause more trouble in the future.

When General Xu saw Jiang Yu's decisive answer, he looked at him with a little more deep meaning in his eyes. It is so urgent to need the people to replenish the troops, rather than blindly pursuing soldiers who can fight, and I think it is quite sober about the Luchuan war. This person can be promoted to 100 households as a small banner, and he does have some ability.

"Okay, then the future replenishment dispatch will be handed over to this Zhang Xiaoqi to explain to the commander." General Xu nodded and looked at Zhang Xiaoqi.

"I understand below." Zhang Xiaoqi hurriedly responded.

"Jiang Baihu, farewell." General Xu didn't say much, and turned to leave after clenching his fists. Several soldiers also left with him.

Among the group, only Zhang Xiaoqi remained, and he talked to Jiang Yu with some enthusiasm: "I see that you don't know yet, let me tell you a good news." ”

"What's the good news?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.

"The camp has been fighting quite smoothly recently, and after conquering Devil's Cry Mountain, it quickly conquered Mangya Mountain, and the enemy army is said to have been routed for thousands of miles." Zhang Xiaoqi was also quite excited when he talked about the front-line battle report he had just learned.

"This ...... Good news indeed. After Jiang Yugang heard the news, he couldn't help but stiffen, and barely squeezed out a smile.

"Jiang Baihu, why aren't you so happy." Zhang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "It won't be because I'm worried that the army will break through Luchuan in one fell swoop, and there will be no chance for you to make meritorious contributions - rest assured, after the big victory over the class division in this battle, we are all meritorious people, and we will not be treated badly." ”

"Haha, of course." Jiang Yuyan tried hard to adjust his facial expression, and coped helplessly.

After sending Zhang Xiaoqi, who was excited and proud because of the smooth battle on the front line, Jiang Yuyan couldn't be happy. He declined everyone's proposal to hold an open-air banquet to celebrate his promotion to the hundredth household, and he fell silently into thought.

Ghost Crying Mountain, Mangya Mountain was conquered, which was good news for the people of the Ming Dynasty, but for Jiang Yugang, a modern person who knew the history of the future, it was like reading the foreshadowing chapter before the tragedy of a novel that was already known to be the end of the tragedy.

After the Ghost Cry Mountain and Mangya Mountain were conquered, the enemy was defeated and the Ming army attacked, but then there was an abrupt withdrawal of the Ming army, and the Luchuan power eventually became bigger, and the Ming Dynasty would gradually lose control of the three Xuan and six comforts.

Not only did it greatly damage the majesty of the tributes of all countries in the Ming Dynasty, but the national strength consumed by the war could not be compensated, and the change of the civil fort in the north made the Ming Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline.

More dramatically, because of the loss of prestige and control over the area of Sanxuan and Six Comforts, the curse water disaster finally occurred in Ava, Burma, and the Ming Dynasty fell here.

It seemed that everything was going in a good direction, but he knew that if he didn't do something, tragedy would strike.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuran's palms began to sweat, a landmark event in history had happened, and things were progressing faster than he imagined.

He struggled to recall the details of history, and he wanted to do something, whether it was for the feelings of the Ming Dynasty, or for the people of this era, or for himself.

He Jiang Yugang came to the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't want to be a hundred households for the rest of his life. There are two sides to everything, and if you can find the key to Luchuan's withdrawal and prevent it from happening, you may be able to seize the opportunity to change the world.
