[After more than ten days, this book has been restored and updated.] I don't want to dwell on what happened during that time...... In short, everyone has scolded and understood, and I thank you here. "Chang'an Merry" is back! ]

.

A convoy of ordinary colors walked slowly through the dense old woods of poor mountains and bad waters, which was quite mysterious. Here, it is far away from the city of Lanzhou Prefecture, and even dozens of miles away from the nearest herdsmen's settlement.

The boring rush for two days almost wiped out Wu Meiniang's interest in traveling. After noon, the heat was heavy, the carriage was still bumping, and Wu Meiniang hid in Qin Mubai's arms and fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Qin Mubai patted Wu Meiniang in his arms, "It's here, get up!" ”

"Where's it been?"

"Get out of the car and see it."

After getting out of the car, Wu Meiniang's first reaction was - thriller!

Although she is young, Wu Meiniang, who has experienced the ups and downs of the business sea for several years, rarely makes such an expression.

Not only Wu Meiniang, but even Qin Mubai was quite amazed by the scene in front of her!

After more than a year, I returned to Iron Valley, and here, it seems that the world has changed!

Ten miles away, it is still an extension of the primeval old forest and the endless grassland and the Gobi; Here, there are many buildings and busy traffic; As far as the eye can see, it is like a paradise, and there are many strange "steel monsters"!

"This ...... Is this an out-of-this-world realm? Wu Meiniang was shocked.

"Iron Valley." The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Except for the people in the Iron Valley and my cronies and guards, you are the first imitator to come here. ”

"Iron Valley? What is it for? Wu Meiniang asked in surprise, and then said, "Could it be...... Built that kind of artillery for you, right? ”

"Exactly." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Can't you think of it, right? In just two or three years, I transformed an ordinary mine into something like this. Now there are nearly 1,000 people living here. Originally, he would be the superintendent of the school office and directly lead the Iron Valley. His rank is already on the third grade, marquis, not much lost to a prime minister. ”

As he spoke, a huge iron box door more than four feet high in front of him slowly rose in the rumbling loud noise, and then two teams of foot soldiers rushed out left and right, about 200 people, wearing colorful robes and red armor, majestic.

Wu Meiniang noticed that in addition to the weapons and armor of the highest rules of the Tang Army, each of them also carried a long strip of iron pipe and wooden support on their shoulders, which was very eye-catching. So she asked, "What do these soldiers carry on their shoulders?" ”

Qin Mubai laughed.

At this time, the two teams of ironclad guards rushed out of the middle of the fast horse, and it was Tu Youhai, the lord of the Iron Valley Valley.

"Humble duty Tu Hai, welcome to the young general! …… After a few years, Major General Xu came again, and the lowly rank was not welcomed, a capital crime, a capital crime! "After many days, Tu Youhai has made a lot of fortune, and he thinks that he is still living very well in the Iron Valley.

The hundred cavalry henchmen behind Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Mr. Tu, you should change your name to 'Young Marshal' or Grand Governor." ”

"Oh?" Tu Youhai suddenly looked happy, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the young marshal has been promoted again?" What a joy! ”

"Huh!" Qin Mubai smiled, "It's the recent thing, and I haven't had time to inform you yet." Look at this situation, I haven't taken care of the affairs of Tiegu for more than a year, and you are really doing well. Even the arquebus was officially equipped. ”

"Everything depends on the young marshal's guidance and design, we just draw the scoop in the same way, naturally easy!" Tu Youhai said with a smile, "These 180 arquebusiers have been trained for more than a month, and they can use them freely and skillfully, so they can come in handy." ”

"Vulcan? Vulcan Zhurong? …… Vulcan Gun? Wu Meiniang was surprised, "What is this?" ”

"Vulcan? That's kind of interesting, haha! You'll find out later. Qin Mubai took Wu Meiniang's hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Tu, let me introduce, this is my wife Wu Meiniang." ”

"It turned out to be the young marshal's wife, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Tu Youhai suddenly stood in awe of Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang's face remained unchanged, but she was overjoyed.

There is no woman who doesn't want her man to introduce herself to others like this outside, and Wu Meiniang is no exception.

"Okay, I haven't been here for more than a year, I should go into the valley to have a look. Let me take a look at your latest research, the Vulcan Gun! ”

"Yes!"

Tu Youhai agreed, and the cavalry heard the order, galloped towards the valley, and soon arrived at the huge slate field of the school.

The backstage boss of Tiegu officially arrived, and the whole valley was ready to wait, and everyone else arrived.

After Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang were seated, dozens of artillery pieces of different sizes and models were lined up, and the cavalry also lined up in a fish-scale formation, preparing to conduct military exercises.

Wu Meiniang looked at the formation in front of her and was secretly speechless. Qin Mubai relied on the matter of 200 gunners to recover Dafeichuan, as well as the existence of the red-clothed cannon, she had already heard of it. But when she saw the objects in front of her that could not appear in her imagination, the shock in her heart was like seeing a god in the Heavenly Palace.

Arquebusiers, it's time to put on a show.

Wu Meiniang's eyes widened, for fear of missing any of the pieces. She saw that about a hundred paces in front of these gunmen, instead of ordinary arrow targets, huge stubborn rocks had been erected. The arquebusiers stepped forward in a row, lit the fuses on the butts, and there was a sound of zzi and smoke rising, all the barrels of their guns pointed forward, and the soldiers took aim.

Immediately after, there was a thud and a loud burst of smoke, and the platoon of musketeers retreated as soon as they finished firing, followed by a row that followed smoothly and fired immediately.

There was a loud crash from the boulder pile ahead, and debris flew wildly.

Obviously, the arquebus was developed, and the shooters were quite well trained. In Qin Mubai's memory, arquebuses are the originators of modern firearms. A well-trained arquebusier can make two or three shots in about a minute, and these people are almost at the extreme.

In fact, for Qin Mubai, the scene in front of him is really a bit primitive and funny, but this game should have appeared in Europe hundreds of years later. In a few hundred years, the European and American powers relied on the descendants of arquebuses to break through the country of the Qing Dynasty and began to trample on China.

"More than 1,000 years of travel, more than 1,000 years of science and technology...... That's right! The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth rose slightly, smiled slightly, and said secretly, "Right now, I have no soldiers, no food, no money, and no power, if I don't use technology to make up for it, wouldn't I wait for death?" Arquebus, you showed up too just in time! I'd love to have you equip the M16 to accompany me in my conquest of the Western Regions, but that's too unrealistic. The arquebus is the pinnacle for the current Datang. As for how to develop and progress in the future, it is not something that I, Qin, can control alone. I'm only responsible for kicking the wheel of history, and how it rolls is its business! A madman who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic? Maybe! INTERVIEWER How many people can do this kind of thing? Ha ha! ”

"Mu Bai...... I feel that this thing in front of me may be more ferocious than the red-clad cannon! Wu Meiniang looked at Qin Mubai with that shocking look and said, "Because it'...... Able to carry it on your shoulders and walk with people. If a thousand musketeers lined up in such a large formation to shoot in turn, no matter how fierce the Hu people scimitar cavalry were, they would not be able to get close! - Look, those hard boulders, smashed into pieces! If the flesh and blood are hit, they will be killed instantly! ”

Qin Mubai looked ahead and nodded slightly, then suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Tu Youhai!" I want 3,000 arquebuses!! ”

"Ah, three thousand?!" Tu Youhai was dumbfounded! - Hugh said that it was three thousand, just the two hundred guns in front of him, which made the people of Mantiegu busy day and night for nearly a year, and it was only completed after hard work.

"Yes, three thousand!" Qin Mubai said undoubtedly, and said word by word, "Say, how long will it take?" ”

"At least...... Three years! ”

"No, three months at most!"

Tu Youhai was dumbfounded, and a cold sweat flowed - isn't this a life? Even if you want to die, you can't make it out! Don't underestimate this seemingly simple arquebus, just one barrel is enough to grind people! In fact, it is even more difficult to build such a gun than to cast a cannon!

"Young marshal, dare to say a word, the whole iron valley is desperately rushing to work, and within three months, he can only fight three hundred arquebuses!"

"Okay, three hundred is three hundred." Qin Mubai suddenly responded, and immediately said, "But within three years, I want three thousand!" ”

"Yes!" Tu Youhai almost gritted his teeth and agreed!

This is probably the first time he has been "reluctantly embarrassed" since following Qin Mubai. But he understands Qin Mubai's personality, if it weren't for his last resort, Qin Mubai would never embarrass his subordinates. At the moment, he can only reluctantly fight to the death. Now although he is a third-grade person, he is still Qin Mubai's doorman in the final analysis.

He understands the principle of using a thousand days of leisure in one day.

"In three months, I want five hundred Vulcans." Qin Mubai's sword eyebrows twisted heavily and looked at the sky from afar, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Wu Meiniang and Tu Youhai, he said, "Go down to earth together, follow me...... Break through hell and conquer heaven! ”

"Step through hell and conquer heaven......" Wu Meiniang took a deep breath and said softly, "Mu Bai, I know why you brought me here. ”

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, turned his head and said, "Let's hear it?" ”

"I know what to do." Wu Meiniang smiled and said in a low voice, "I want to start making money desperately, preferably to be rich and rival the country." Because you not only have to raise soldiers and horses to prepare food and grass, but also pay tribute to the god of fire! ”

Qin Mubai smiled but did not speak, the two of them looked at each other, and their hearts were full of affection.

"Mu Bai, you are like the iron bullet shot by this god of fire...... Wu Meiniang suddenly sighed.

"What do you mean?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Sharp, sharp, determined to move forward irresistible." Wu Meiniang said, "This is exactly where Mei Niang falls in love with you." If a man loses his sharpness and sharpness, he is like a tiger in a cage without claws. Success or failure is determined, but sharpness and sharpness are not judged by success or failure. If you only talk about tenderness and gentleness, I will definitely choose Zheng Anshun. I just like your wild and unrestrained side! ”

"For example? ......" Qin Mubai was almost about to boil again.

"It's not serious...... You don't know the occasion? ”
