Chapter 1409: Surprise (2)

"Lord Zhu, please. The bowl guns and guns in the warehouse were all sponsored by the godfather to train under the command of Lord Xiao Zhu. Xiao Xizi led Zhu Ping'an to the front of the warehouse, took out the key to open the door, and bowed to Zhu Ping'an.

"There is Father-in-law Laoxi." Zhu Ping'an thanked him, and at the invitation of Xiao Xizi, he walked into the warehouse.

The bowl mouth cannon is the artillery of the Yuan Dynasty and the early and middle Ming Dynasty, it is an old-fashioned artillery, Zhu Ping'an has seen the real thing in the modern museum, the barrel is as thick as the bowl mouth, and the weight is about 100 catties, which is a light artillery, which is easy to carry and haul.

Zhu Ping'an knew that in a few years, the bowl cannon would be replaced by the Franc machine gun and the tiger squat gun, but at present, this bowl cannon is still one of the popular firearms in the army ("Ming Huidian, Weapons and Military Uniforms" records, before Hongzhi, the second bureau of armaments and saddle bridles made 3,000 bowls and guns every three years), although the status is not as good as large, medium and small general cannons.

However, this era is still the era of cold weapons, and the deterrent power of artillery is still very strong. With the bowl mouth cannon, the firepower of the regimental training can be increased by several grades, and a few cannons can not only kill and injure the enemy from a long distance, hit the enemy's morale, but also boost the morale of one's own side.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an was still looking forward to the bowl mouth cannon, and as soon as he stepped into the room, a pair of eyes couldn't wait to look indoors.

At a glance, Zhu Ping'an froze in place, maintaining the posture of stepping into the room with one foot and not leaving the ground with the other foot, a pair of eyes stared at the boss, blinked in disbelief, and confirmed again.

That's right.

Four bowl cannons, or four bowl cannons! It's not the two bowl cannons that I said before, but a full four. In addition, there are two large chests full of new firecrackers, and eight large chests of lead.

The lead in these boxes is a cannonball. Ancient artillery shells are not like modern times, ancient artillery is first loaded with gunpowder, put in the wooden horse, then put the soil, then put the lead, etc., then put the soil, then put the lead, etc., and repeat until it is full. Of course, stones can also act as lead. However, it is still difficult to find stones of the right size on the battlefield, and it is generally necessary to prepare lead in advance.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an's appearance, Xiao Xizi couldn't help but raise her orchid fingers to cover her mouth, and let out a string of muffled laughter, "Hehehehe, is there some surprise for Lord Xiao Zhu, this is the surprise that my godfather gave to Lord Xiao Zhu." ”

Sure enough, it was a surprise!

Zhu Ping'an was overjoyed, and thanked Xiao Xizi, "Thank you Father-in-law He, thank you Father-in-law." ”

"Hehe, it's enough for Lord Xiao Zhu to thank his godfather, the little one is useless, but he can't afford to thank Lord Xiao Zhu." Xiao Xizi covered his mouth and smiled, "After my godfather came back yesterday, he specially asked people to go to the Baoyuan Bureau to dig three feet into the ground, and looted two bowl cannons, a hundred firecrackers and eight boxes of lead to send to Lord Xiao Zhu. ”

"Grandpa He is unwell, but he still thinks about peace, and he is really grateful for peace." Zhu Ping'an thanked him again.

"Hehe, godfather said, compared to Lord Xiao Zhu's life-saving grace, these are just small meanings." Xiao Xizi said with a smile, and then leaned closer to Zhu Ping'an's ear and whispered, "And ......"

Anything else?

Zhu Ping'an listened attentively.

"What's more, Lord Xiao Zhu, you don't know yet, last time you beat Xiao Qianzi in Jingnan, my godfather was also very happy when he heard the news." Xiao Xizi leaned into Zhu Ping'an's ear and whispered.

Well?!

Strange, aren't you having a grudge against Qianxu?! I beat Qianxu, what kind of joy is Gonggong He.

"Hehe, Lord Xiao Zhu doesn't know that the reason why Xiao Qianzi has repeatedly had enmity with me is actually the root cause of Xiao Qianzi's godfather - Chen Hong's old dog does not deal with his godfather. So, we don't deal with it either. Kiko explained in a whisper. When he was in the capital, Chen Hong's old dog once played a trick and robbed his godfather of the errand of the clerical room, causing his godfather to go to the palace to sweep the palace..... Last month, Chen Hong's old dog went out of Beijing to buy Jinbao pearls, came to Yingtian, relying on his name of being ordered to do business, and played a powerful role in front of his godfather. Master Xiao Zhu beat Xiao Qianzi, and the godfather took advantage of this incident to slap Chen Hong's old dog's old face, and saw him gritting his teeth and swallowing it, and let out a big breath of evil. ”

Uh, well, there's still such a thing. When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth speechlessly.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of which, I remembered that I just reminded Xiao Zhu to be careful of Xiao Qianzi, a puppy, and forgot to remind Xiao Zhu to be careful of Chen Hong, an old dog, and Xiao Zhu will be careful of Chen Hong's old dog in the future. Chen Hong, the old dog, is much more ruthless than Xiao Qianzi's puppy. Kiko reminded.

Zhu Ping'an nodded slightly.

"Lord Xiaozhu, I'm not afraid of your jokes, people like us are not physically sound, and our psychology is more or less abnormal." Xiao Xizi smiled self-deprecatingly, pointed at the orchid and said, "But compared to Chen Hong, that's a small thing, and it's not a problem." Chen Hong: He is a complete pervert. He once said that he admired two people the most in his life. Little Zhu, do you know who it is? ”

Zhu Ping'an naturally shook his head, how do I know who the two people Chen Hong admires the most are.

"The two people he admires the most are Gong Chengshu." Kiko revealed the answer.

Gong Chengshu?! I don't seem to have much of an impression of who this is. Zhu Ping'an searched in his mind and found nothing.

"Gong Chengshu is a great eunuch in the Southern Han Dynasty." Xiao Xizi saw Zhu Ping'an's blank face, so he opened his mouth to explain.

Nanhan!

Zhu Ping'an immediately had the impression that this was one of the regimes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, located in the two provinces of present-day Guangdong, Guangxi and northern Vietnam. The most prominent feature of this regime was the heavy use and great use of eunuchs, which was later destroyed by the Song Dynasty.

"Actually, the little one doesn't know Gong Chengshu, it was once when Chen Hong was drunk and said it to us little eunuchs. He said that when Gong Chengshu was a eunuch, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty who served was Liu, Liu had no ambitions, and he liked to be the most lustful and arrogant, arrogant and lascivious, Gong Chengshu changed his tricks every day to meet Liu, and he was obedient, as long as Liu had a look, Gong Chengshu could understand it, and arranged everything to Liu Xinkan, which was deeply favored by Liu, so that Liu felt that the eunuch was down-to-earth, reliable, and had no ambition, and was easy to control. One day, Liu thought that he was so wasted about the government, what if his civil and military officials were against him? Gong Chengshu said that the Chinese civil and military officials must be castrated before they can become officials, and if they are not willing to be castrated, then they cannot be officials, and they must resign and go home. He explained to Liu that after the eunuchs were castrated, there were no descendants, and even if those civil and military officials succeeded in rebellion, their rivers and mountains were fought for others, so why risk their lives to rebel, so that they would not risk rebellion, so that the saints would no longer have worries and could enjoy it with peace of mind. When Liu Wenyan heard this, he was overjoyed and admonished. It is said that all the civil and military officials of the Southern Han Dynasty were eunuchs, and the number reached more than 20,000. Chen Hong, an old dog, often said that Gong Chengshu was the person he admired the most in his life, and said that he wanted to learn from Gong Chengshu...... Do you think he's a pervert ......"

Xiao Xizi said leisurely.
