Basking in the warm winter sun, Li Shouhan was very comfortable lying on a rocking chair made of bamboo and rattan, sipping tea on the Fengwan Pavilion at the commanding height of the General's Mansion, looking at the entire Hejing City.

In the distance, the singing of the recruits on the playground could be heard.

"Blue sky, clear river, alas, green farmland, this is my home, alas. The babbling waterwheel, the white sails, and you, my girl......"

"This is, my home, my house, my factory,......", "This is, my home, my house, my land, my cattle and sheep, my factory", "This is, my home, my house, my factory, and you, my girl......".

It seems that all the traversers, if you don't plagiarize some literary and artistic works of later generations, you are embarrassed to say that you are a traverser! The most plagiarized, according to incomplete statistics, is Taizu's Qinyuan Spring. Snow, originally, Li Shouhan also wanted to steal it, but what is very frustrating is that at this time, it seems that there is no time for snow in Annan.

Do you talk about the scenery of the north with people in the subtropics? It's tantamount to talking to Eskimos in the Arctic about the tropics, which can go decades without clothes.

Inadvertently, a song hummed by Li Shouhan was heard by Li Peilin and Chen Tianhua, "Although the song is slang, it is a spontaneous love and protection for the homeland." ”

Soon, the song spread among the troops in the General's Palace, in all villages and towns, "This is my home, my home!" "The singing voice is heroic and high, whether the singer is Han, Miao, Jingpo, Pengyi, or others.

Everyone was there singing, "This is my home, my rice fields, my fishing boats, my factory!" ”

"Boom! Boom! ”

From the far seashore came the sound of cannons, drowning out the singing.

It was the artillery division and the artillery of the battalions conducting artillery training.

Thanks to the technology of nitrification fields, the production and supply of gunpowder in Ha Jing is not a problem now. Li Shouhan opened up thousands of acres of nitrification fields to make nitrate. Take one acre of land as the standard, dig five feet on the ground, then build it with red bricks, plaster the wall with cement, build wall columns around the pit, and cover the roof.

The river is still close to the sea, and now there are many boats fishing activities at sea, and the number of fish and shrimp is also staggering, and those stinky fish and shrimp that people disdain to eat are scattered into a slurry and sprinkled with a thin layer on the ground. In addition, diluted human and animal feces and urine obtained from corrals and public toilets are sprinkled daily every day. He also asked people to sprinkle water under the shed every day to maintain the humidity.

Although it is north of the 17th parallel, it is also a subtropical region, and the temperature can be fully satisfied, and a sheltered canopy is erected to give bacteria and microorganisms a proper temperature and humidity.

Next, the plant ash made from straw stalks, reeds, weeds cut from wasteland, dead branches and rotten leaves, corn leaves, corn stalks, sugarcane leaves, cotton and other plants is sprinkled on the ground to provide raw materials for the synthesis of nitric acid into potassium nitrate, especially potassium.

According to the manufacturing process and technology, Shouhan erected dozens of windmills and waterwheels of various sizes around the nitrification field, and used ceramic pipes buried deep underground to ventilate and supply water.

After a few months of production, one acre of nitrification field can produce 4,000 catties of nitrate in a month.

Another way to get nitrate is toilet soil.

After several years of training, the people of Ha Jing have initially developed hygiene habits, go to the toilet without their hands, do not drink raw water, bathe frequently, change clothes frequently, and dry the bedding often and other songs are sung by children in the streets and alleys.

A large number of public toilets and toilets in residential homes provided ample soil for the gunpowder workshops.

The officials and slaves covered their mouths and noses with mouthcloths made of cotton cloth, and shoveled out the old soil of the toilet and replaced it with new soil.

The old soil soaked in feces and urine is loaded into bamboo baskets and transported to the workshop attached to the gunpowder workshop for processing.

The process is very simple, the old soil is crushed after drying, screened, and then added grass ash (again grass and wood ash!). If you don't bother, we're all annoyed! But there is no way. Plant ash is potash! Its main component is potassium carbonate, and the main component of Maokeng soil is ammonium nitrate, because the solubility of potassium nitrate is particularly affected by temperature, so the temperature drops slightly, and a large amount of potassium nitrate will crystallize and precipitate in the form of precipitation) for boiling, cooling, and the crystals precipitated after the reaction of the two are collected, and potassium nitrate with a purity of about 95% is obtained, commonly known as saltpeter!

That's a good thing! I believe that many traversers make gunpowder in this way. However, in addition to making gunpowder, it has many other uses, and it can be sold here. However, the liquid from boiling the toilet soil and plant ashes was also used by Scrooge Li Shouhan to water and fertilize his family's fields. The main ingredient in that liquid is ammonium carbonate, a proper nitrogen fertilizer!

In a word, the industrial production and supply of sufficient and cheap gunpowder greatly reduced the cost of gunpowder production, which was completely suitable for Li Shouhan to build a firearms army.

His troops were now plentiful in gunpowder and inexpensive. What's even more surprising is that he replaced the charcoal in the gunpowder ratio with processed and boiled willow wood, and made millet gunpowder through a dazzling series of processes. The propulsion is strengthened.

Every week, the artillery conducted live firing, and the artillery training of the naval division was a daily subject.

The musketeers in the battalions of the army were training from morning to night, all the time.

After the recruits are identified as musketeers, they are required to begin shooting training under the leadership of veterans and captains, and only load the medicine bag, not lead bullets.

After dozens of empty gun shots, the next step was live firing.

In this way, when a recruit has completed all the shooting training subjects, the brand-new musket in his hand has also been run-in, and it has become a gun about eighty percent new. The guns and machinery in this state are in the best condition, and they can accompany the soldiers to fight in the north and south.

Thinking about the training results of the battalions today, Li Shouhan couldn't help but smile a little proudly, in this era, he knows better than anyone what kind of combat effectiveness an army with more than forty percent of firearms should be.

Look up at the plaque on the pavilion, which was inscribed by Li Peilin.

Kaede Evening Pavilion.

A beautiful face and body, with a bit of thin gold atmosphere.

Only Li Shouhan knew why he gave the pavilion such a name, and Li Peilin thought that he admired Changsha's Aiwan Pavilion, so he chose such a name. However, Shouhan heard a voice in his heart chanting loudly countless times, "Stop and have sex in Fenglin Night!" Parking for sex in Maple Grove late! ”

Looking at the elegant and flexible font, Li Shouhan smiled a little proudly, yes! It has been more than three years, and in these three years, he has consolidated his position of power, established a powerful army and navy, expanded his territory, enriched the treasury, and most importantly, conquered the hearts of a group of people.

Yan Mei'er took two maids to change a pot of tea on the small table in front of Li Shouhan, and looked at her husband with a smile, Yan Mei'er knew that the man in front of her would not be only one woman in the future, and it was absolutely impossible for a man of his status to have only one woman, but as his own woman, he had incense to his ancestors in front of the tablet of the ancestral ancestral hall, and now he was still the housekeeper's wife in this house, and his status was noble. She was content.

A faint fragrance wafted by, and an emerald green figure appeared in front of Yan Mei'er's eyes, she waved her hand lightly at Yan Mei'er, signaling her not to make a sound, and then rushed towards Li Shouhan!

A faint fragrance in his nose stopped, and his eyes suddenly darkened, and Li Shouhan was attacked!

When he was attacked, Li Shouhan was concentrating on reading the information that his subordinates had just sent, not far from Ha Jing Mansion, there was a strange mountain, the indigenous people called the sacred mountain, it was strange that in this subtropical Annam region, the cave at the foot of the mountain was cold to the bone, the cave was cold all year round, and the water flowing out of the cave was also cold and biting. Li Shouhan is very interested in this mountain, there is also such a mountain in the mainland, the local people drink the water of this cave, and they live a long life, and Li Shouhan is not for this, mainly because he is ready to produce a big killer, nitroglycerin explosives.

A pair of snow-white hands covered the corners of his eyes, and a gentle voice deliberately lowered and said, "Guess who I am?" ”

When Li Shouhan smelled the fragrance, he knew that it was Xiuxiu, because the incense powder she used was goose egg powder purchased from Suzhou, and the fragrance was very unique. Li Shouhan smiled slightly: "Don't make trouble, Yanyan, if you make trouble again, I won't go to your room tonight." ”

The little hand shook violently, Cui Xiuxiu never imagined that she would get such an answer, she was shocked in her heart, and slowly put her hand down, but Li Shouhan grabbed her little hand and stroked it gently, Xiuxiu pulled her hand away, Li Shouhan turned around, and saw that Cui Xiuxiu's beautiful little face was already full of tears, and her face was sad, "Who made my cute and beautiful Xiuxiu angry, say it, big brother will beat his board for you" Li Shouhan said with a smile, wiping her tears with his hand.

Xiuxiu's body was stiff and she couldn't move, and after a while, she said, "You go to find your Yanyan" couldn't help crying.

"Hey, who is Yanyan? Your good sister? Isn't it pretty, isn't it sexy, is it not cocked, introduce it to the big brother? Li Shouhan touched her little hand with a pig face.

"You, you, you ,,," These words made Yunying's unmarried Cui Xiuxiu so angry that she even forgot to cry, and it took a long time before she relieved her breath, "Didn't you call it just now, and said that you were going to her ,,,room at night" Xiuxiu was ashamed and angry, and pointed at him with her left hand, "Hey, I'm talking about Yanmei'er, I like to call her Yanyan, did you hear it wrong?" ”

"Ah" Although Cui Xiuxiu has undergone great changes, after all, he is not deep in life, where is the opponent of Li Shouhan, who has been trained in major forums for a long time in his previous life, sprayed countless people and been slapped countless bricks, and is so thick-skinned and psychologically strong that even Liu Bei is willing to bow down.

Li Xiuxiu had a preconceived idea in her heart, thinking that she had heard it wrong, and she was very shy in her heart, and her little face was red as if she was about to ooze water, which was very charming. "Come, brother will show you something" Li Shouhan's tone changed, and from the wooden box on the side, he took out a purple glass bottle, which was tall and shiny, and contained liquid. "What is this?"

"You will definitely like it" Li Shouhan pulled the cork from the bottle, and suddenly, a fragrance of roses wafted out, the fragrance was long, clear but not greasy, and it smelled like falling into the clouds. Well, the above is Li Xiuxiu's table, Li Shouhan naturally won't have it, "This is a perfume, made especially for you" Li Shouhan lied and his heart didn't beat, this perfume was secretly developed by Li Shouhan recently, and it is not difficult to make perfume, the early Feiqing Cool Oil Wind Oil Essence process is similar to it, Li Shouhan uses the distillation method to obtain essential oil, and then dilutes it with water and alcohol.

Sure enough, perfume is the biggest killer of girls, especially for virgins who have never seen perfume, this is an irresistible temptation, Xiuxiu pounced violently, as fast as a female leopard, and snatched the perfume from his hand with a whoosh, "Do you like this perfume?" Xiuxiu smelled the fragrance of perfume deeply, looking intoxicated, Li Shouhan smiled slightly, this is a rose-scented perfume, girls who like this smell of perfume are mostly sullen girls, their appearance is like an iceberg, and the bed is like a mountain of flames. Only women who are charming like this kind of fragrance, and they can't imagine that the pure and beautiful Xiuxiu is actually this kind of girl, I can't think of it.

Looking at Xiuxiu's coquettish expression beside Li Shouhan, Yan Mei'er didn't know what it was like in her heart, "Xianggong, these are new snacks sent by several masters from Fangcai Daoxiang Village, you can chat with Miss Li here, drink tea and taste it." ”

"Oh! It's time for a snack! Li Xiuxiu shouted happily.

Daoxiang Village was jointly opened by several dim sum chefs brought back from Yangzhou by Li Peiting. Originally, these people were given to Li Shouhan by Li Peiting, but Shouhan felt that how many snacks could he eat alone? Let them serve the people!

So, they returned their documents for selling their bodies, and provided a start-up fund for them to open a dim sum shop in Ha Jing, and Li Shouhan, as a shareholder, inscribed the name of the dim sum shop, "Daoxiang Village." ”

"Actually, I just don't want to feed so many people at home, so let them go out to start a business, I can not only have dividends, but also taxes, I also create employment opportunities, pull the land, how suitable!"

Tasting the fine Weiyang of the exquisite zuò carefully made by the masters of Daoxiang Village, and there is an interpretation flower next to it, Li Shouhan really has the pleasure of being the king of the south.

It's a pity that happy times are always short-lived, and there are always eyeless light bulbs to stir things up.

Outside the pavilion, Mo Jin's deep voice came: "My lord, General Zhang Xiaohu asks to see you." ”

Go! Li Shouhan was full of reluctance, but looking at the admiring expression of the little girl in front of him, he didn't want to leave an impression of "the king will not be early from now on", so he had to wave his hand unwillingly, "Call the little sixth son to come up!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu is also different from what it used to be, and the shotgun has changed. No, he was carrying a musket, not a cannon.

This is the latest short fire gun currently made in Ha Tinh Province, with a barrel length of 35 cm, a caliber of 12 mm, an optimal firing range of 50 to 70 meters, an effective firing range of 80 meters, and a copper-plated inner wall of the barrel. The butt is made of camphor wood, which is a specialty of Annam. Brush one coat of clear oil, and then two coats of tung oil. The two barrels are firmly attached to the gun body with copper hoops.

That's right, it's two barrels, which are self-defense weapons specially made by Li Shouhan for his sailors and artillerymen. The twin cylinders can be loaded with two buckshot bullets at the same time and fired twice. Destroy the enemy and have twice as many chances of saving yourself.

In the future, if there were enough horses to establish a cavalry team, this double-barreled musket would be the standard equipment of the cavalry.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Xiaohu took off the double-barreled fire gun, the sub-pill box made of cowhide, and the Jehoku knife from his body and put them on the pavilion pillar on the side. Intervened and saluted Li Shouhan: "I have seen an adult under the mark!" ”

Although it is said that Zhang Xiaohu disturbed Li Shouhan's good deeds, but this guy is indeed a good sailor, after returning from Luzon, he kept patrolling the sea, training troops, protecting fishing, checking passing ships by the way, informing them to pay taxes, and he was very busy, adding a lot of income to Li Shouhan's treasury.

Looking at the guy in front of him, he was wearing a standard military uniform of the Li family in Ha Jing, with narrow sleeves and breasts, (However, unlike the land camp, the pants of the sailor are open next to them, if this is placed in a few hundred years, it will cause people's criticism, but in this era, it is fine.) Why? At this time, it seems that the pants of both men and women are free of gear! ）

On the cuffs are two yellow hoops, and on one side of the yellow hoop is a five-pointed star embroidered with yellow silk thread and a crescent moon. This is the rank of a naval division. The two yellow hoops are the captain level, a five-pointed star, which represents the level of the captain of a wind ship, and the curved moon indicates that this person can command several warships.

"I said, Captain Zhang, what do you have to say when you come to me?"

Li Shouhan was a little angry. Originally! I'm drinking tea with the little beauty here, talking about the ideal life, and you came. Let me talk to you about ideals and life?

"My lord, I've been following you for a few days, it's about to be the New Year, and I want to take leave to go home to visit my old father."

Hehe, wealth does not return to his hometown, such as a night walk in clothes. A common problem of the Chinese people.

"Didn't you ask the owner of the ship under your command to go back to your old father last month?"

It has been out for nearly a year, and dozens of boats have been brought out, but none of them have returned, which is a bit too much. So, Luo Abing took a lucky boat and dozens of people back to report the safety of Zhang Baoshan's boss, and by the way, he gave the salaries of the pirates who were recruited by Li Shouhan to his family.

"Do you want to go back and be impressed?"

Li Shouhan looked at Zhang Xiaohu with bad intentions, with a wicked smile on his face. "Is that logo of yours already in place?"

Zhang Xiaohu's Hell Three-Headed Tiger logo is already a well-known thing for women and children in Ha Jing. Several Miao silversmiths and goldsmiths worked continuously for a month to complete the logo, which cost thousands of taels of silver and nearly a thousand taels of gold, and installed it on the bow of Zhang Xiaohu's ship.

"Hey, hey! Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you! "Zhang Xiaohu knew how powerful the general in front of him was, so he simply told the truth." Still, I have one more serious thing to do! ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"Huh! My lord, how many boats can be launched per month in my Hejing Mansion now? Even the wind ship can produce at least one ship a month, and those schooners can produce more than two ships a month. However, there were not many suitable sailors. When I go back this time, I will persuade my father to surrender to the general, so that the more than 10,000 heroes on the water will be submitted to the general. ”

Zhang Xiaohu said well, it can be said that he hit the nail on the head, and said the key to the matter, yes, the ship can be manufactured quickly, but the people who operate and drive the ship cannot produce it like the assembly line of the production boat!

"Huh? How many people can you muster? ”

"My father must listen to me, his direct subordinates, there should be no problem, and there are several other big ship owners, it should be no problem. However, we brothers have always been at odds. Zhang Xiaohu's face was unprecedentedly embarrassed.

"My father's original intention was to pass on the position of the palm plate to me, but the boss was not convinced, he and the third, fourth, and several people colluded together to oppose me everywhere."

I see! It seems that the matter of Kowloon's seizure of the heir will happen as long as it is a power group, not only the royal family!

"And what are you going to do?" Li Shouhan put away the smile on his face and began to be stern.

"My lord, the reason why I created this logo a few days ago is to take the lead and let the brothers know that you have a good future when you fight the world with your lord! This is one of them. ”

"Tempting to take advantage."

"Second, I'll take a few wind ships back and let them see how powerful the general's sailors are! This is the second one! ”

"Coming to power."

"Third, I talked to my father. Comparatively, where is the life at sea better than spending the old age in Hejing'an? If the adults don't give up, I hope to arrange a place for my father to retire in Hejing. Thirdly. ”

"Knowing is reasonable, moving is emotional. I understand, how many ships are you going to take with you? ”

Zhang Xiaohu lowered his head and pondered for a while, "My ship, in addition to that, if you can give me three to five wind ships, plus a foot battalion, there will be no problem." Even if they are held hostage by force, I can coerce them! ”

"Three or five?" Li Shouhan didn't care, but looking at Zhang Xiaohu's thief's fierce look, he couldn't help but be angry from his heart, what are you! You have mixed up Lao Tzu's good deeds, and Lao Tzu will give you so many warships for you to go home to show off?

"Three is three! You go with a battalion of the Phoenix Battalion! At present, there are many recruits in each battalion, and it is just right for them to practice! Seizing the loophole in Zhang Xiaohu's words, Li Shouhan easily put him in.

"Go back and hurry up and prepare, and strive to set off the day after tomorrow!"

Poor Zhang Xiaohu looked at Li Shouhan's expression as if he had stepped on a dog's grain reincarnation, and then looked at the helpless little beauty beside him, and then suddenly realized that it was not the right time for him to come.

So, Zhang Xiaohu ran out of the pavilion at a speed faster than the wind ship.

However, under a few white marble steps in the pavilion, Zhang Xiaohu saw Gonzalez and Bolívar and others who had just been attached. Seeing the happy and excited expressions on their faces, Zhang Xiaohu showed a tooth and smiled secretly.

Hey, hey, hey!

Sure enough, half an hour later, Gonzalez, the new commander and chief instructor of the training fleet, also walked out with a stinky expression.

He and his team were hired by Li Shouhan for an average of ten gold coins per month, but, at the cost of their lack of eyes, they had no benefits such as pension insurance and personal injury insurance.

However, when Gonzalez saw Hu Licheng standing at the foot of the steps with an anxious face, he stepped forward full of sympathy, shook Hu Licheng's hand, and patted Hu Licheng's shoulder with his left hand.

"With your competent words, Closed Fury! I wish you the best of luck! May the Lord bless you! ”

The old fox Hu Licheng was confused, "What's wrong with these Franc machine people?" ”

Mo Jin stood outside the pavilion, "My lord, Lord Hu asks to see!" There is an urgent military intelligence report! ”
