(The computer at home is broken, hurry up to the bar to upload, even the end of the book, this is my goal, hehehe)

Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing rushed back to Ganquan overnight, and were having a meeting with Cao Meng, Chen Che and a group of cottage leaders, mainly to inquire about Cao Meng's Chen Che's material collection.

Everyone sat or stood casually, constantly exchanging their thoughts and opinions in whispers. Cao Meng, who was tired of sitting on the chair, saw King Chuang asking, and said with a strong spirit: "King Chuang, there are a lot of materials in this sweet spring, but we have limited money on hand, even if we bargain carefully, it is also limited to purchase, and now according to the plan of King Chuang and Mr. Wen, the construction of Zhiluo ditch is a drop in the bucket, and it can't solve a big problem." ”

Lu Shi was silent for a while, this is indeed a big problem, although there are ancient straight roads and ancient post station barracks in Zhiluogou that can be used, but they are all thousands of years of things, and they cannot be used at all without repairing and renovating, not to mention that the road into the mountain and the narrow stone gorge to be dug can be completed by a cart, and it is quite labor-intensive to plug the Diaodou stone building.

"How much explosives do we still have in the old camp of Huluyu?" Lu Shi asked Cao Meng again.

Cao Meng pondered and said: "In this battle, we almost all relied on the yam to achieve victory, I don't know if there is any surplus used by Brother Wu Tao, I have exhausted it here, and there is not much left in the old camp when I set off, there are only about a hundred guards in the old camp, and even the third uncle has stopped repairing the terraces." I don't know how much the craftsmen produced during the time they left. “

"Now that we have won the victory against encirclement and suppression, it is impossible for the official army to organize a large army to enter again in a short period of time, which leaves room for us to rest and reorganize the team, build the Zhiluo ditch and replenish materials.

"That's what King Chuang said."

"What is the Kaishan explosive?" Zheng Hao slowly got used to such a casual meeting form, he had something to say, he asked questions on the spot, and he was arranged to build Zhiluo, of course, he had to understand this yam.

Chen Che said: "This thing is the invention of King Chuang, it is a kind of gunpowder, but it is a hundred times greater than gunpowder in power, dig a hole in the rock and put five catties of yams, it can blow down thousands of catties of rocks, the end is extremely powerful, with this thing to build terraces and quarrying that is twice the result with half the effort, a cannon down is the workload of hundreds of people in a month." If we prepare enough explosives packs, Zhang Yuan has only seven or eight thousand people, and my brother Cao Meng's five hundred people are more than competent, where are there so many dead and wounded? Chen Che's words also have a deep meaning, but everyone knows it.

Zheng Hao smacked his tongue when he heard this, and he was even more impressed by Lu Shizhi's wisdom, and he couldn't help but praise it for a while.

After being humble for a while, Lu Shi said with regret: "Although this thing is good, the materials are difficult to buy, so it has been stretched thin and cannot be mass-produced." ”

"I don't know what kind of ingredients are needed for this?" Zheng Hao asked earnestly, regretting it as soon as he came out, it was inappropriate for him to ask about the core secret as soon as he came to the cottage, but seeing that Lu Shihe and everyone didn't care, he was somewhat relieved.

Lu Shi frowned and said: "But it is to abandon the other important things (purely for secrecy, specially promoted) The main three things, one is pure saltpeter, the second is a large amount of sulfur, and the third is charcoal, if there is willow charcoal, it is the best." ”

Zheng Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and everyone looked at this sudden crazy laughter and didn't know why.

Zheng Hao smiled and said happily: "These three things are indeed not rare here. ”

"What?" As soon as everyone heard what they said, they immediately jumped up together, surrounded Wang Xin excitedly, and hurriedly asked the reason.

That Wang Xin looked at everyone anxious with a smile, but he didn't say anything about selling Guanzi, Guo Tianxing was anxious, grabbed his sleeve and glared at him and said loudly: "Brother, say quickly, Hugh is going to sell Guanzi in front of the brothers, let me wait in a hurry, if you don't say it quickly, don't blame my old fist waiting for you to pull." ”

Zheng Hao was even more happy when he saw it, which showed that he had been accepted by everyone, and he said slowly when he saw the fire: "As I know, on the ground of Qinghai, there is a big lake, and in the lake is layers of miscanthus salt, which is inexhaustible, where is what is the precious thing?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, and they didn't believe that there was really such a good thing in the world, and when Lu Shi heard it, he suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted that he was stupid, how could he put this good place.

Lu Shi suddenly patted his head, shouting negligence, but he forgot this? Huining, Gansu Province in the original era was a natural source of miscanthus nitrate, and I remember a program that said that the current miscanthus nitrate is overcapacity and unsalable.

And then there is a stupid way to solve the problem of miscanthus nitrate, that is, Mao Taizu's Red Army, the method of extracting nitrate from toilet soil, is really a word to wake up people in a dream.

Since King Chuang said that there was a large amount of high-purity miscanthus there, there must have been, which also made Wang Xin even more surprised by Lu Shi's extensive knowledge.

"In fact, the second one is sulfur, which we also have, but it is not easy to mine, so the production is scarce. But elsewhere it is readily available. Zheng Hao said again.

"Where?" Lu Shidu was about to go crazy. With these two things, where can the world go?

"Just near Yan'an, there is an underground production of black combustible oil, and the locals use him for cooking, and more for burning tobacco to make ink, where the ink is famous far and near, and the by-product is sulfur, but the production is scarce, and everyone uses medicine or fumigation straw mats or dried vegetables."

Lu Shi is even more happy, and the sulfur in China in later generations is mainly recovered and refined in natural gas and oil, isn't this exact?

"If you want to talk about the willow tree, it's even more far away in front of you."

"I see." Black Tiger Star suddenly jumped up and said: "Just now we went to Zhiluogou, on the shore of the big lake in the ditch, there are old willow trees that have been withdrawn from the ground, and the charcoal burned with these willow trees is afraid that it will not be burned for hundreds of years." ”

With willow charcoal, you can make smokeless explosives, not only more powerful, but also smokeless, but also lay the foundation for the future development of artillery, it is really God's favor, it seems that in the near future to move the military industrial enterprises to Zhiluogou, which is easier to defend than Huluyu, a large number of local materials to manufacture smokeless explosives gunpowder, the Black Tiger Army will be invincible in the world.

Everyone forgot about their tiredness and began to discuss it enthusiastically. But it's starting to be difficult to transport these things again.

"King Chuang, this is easy to do, I heard that among the friends who supported the Cao Meng brothers the day before yesterday, there were people from the Yang family racecourse west of Ganquan, and the Yang family is full of contacts in the northwest, we asked him for help, wouldn't it be a matter of twice the result with half the effort?"

Hei Niu strode forward and said: "King Chuang, my Hei Niu has some friendship with the Yang family, so leave this matter to me." ”

Lu Shi nodded and gave permission.

Originally, Lu Shi wanted to bring the Black Bull and his brothers back to the Black Tiger Village, eliminate the old and weak and the undetermined, and use the deputy of the Chuang Army as the captain of the squad to become a team and train strictly, but now it is inappropriate to think about it, stand up and walk slowly for a while, and then said to Guo Tianxing: "Great Commander, I see that this Black Bull brother is familiar with the terrain of this place, and he also has a lot of friendship with local forces, so I left Hei Niu to help Li Li and Mr. Zheng together, how about it?" ”

"What King Chuang said is that I think the black bull can handle this." Guo Tianxing also nodded in agreement.

With Tianxing's consent, Lu Shi nodded and called the black bull with shiny eyes and said: "Brother Heiniu, originally you were a newcomer to the army, and you were not familiar with the training and military discipline of the army, and the equipment was very backward, my original plan was to let you take your brother back to the base area with me to train the equipment, and then send out the town to defend the side when the combat effectiveness of the other teams of the old eighth team is reached, but now it seems that this Ganquan Zhiluogou is more suitable and needs your help, and now you can only be wronged and worked hard to wait for your brother, and Li Li will be stationed in Zhiluogou together, Listen to Li Li and Mr. Zheng's assignment, this Zhiluogou start-up, the conditions are difficult, and the workload is also large, are you and your brother willing? ”

Hearing that Lu Shi cared so much to ask for his opinion, the black bull was full of tears at the time, and his voice was choked and said: "King Dechuang values me so much, the black bull, and cares so much about our future brothers, the black bull can only repay the kindness of the encounter with death." After that, he was about to kneel down when he choked up, and Guo Tianxing picked him up and said, "You are not allowed to kneel as long as you do it." ”

Cao Meng also stepped forward and advised: "King Chuang is right, the conditions here are not as difficult as the base, but it is bitter brothers, you have to do a good job of the brothers, don't misunderstand us for neglecting the new brothers, let everyone complain." ”

"My subordinates know the severity, and my brothers are not stingy, I must say that they know that this is the brothers on our mountain, and they have handed over the most important things to us, just with this trust, even if it is bitter, it is sweet in the heart, where can there be complaints?"

Zheng Hao unconsciously admired the brothers who broke into the army like this.

"Our sixth team has been disabled, and the captain of the sixth team has also died, I have decided to build the meritorious sixth team into the Ganquan Hero Team, just to supplement the brothers of the Black Bull, and then build the sixth team, the captain is the Black Bull first, and the other subordinates are all the brothers of the sixth team, if the Black Bull can adapt, it will be correct." Lu Shi continued.

When Hei Niu heard this, he hurriedly shook the big hand like a fan like a windmill, "You can't break into the king, I'm a newcomer, I don't dare to take on this position, it's better to let the old brother of the army be in charge, I'll just be a deputy, the main thing is to suppress my brothers, don't let them slack off in training, and violate military discipline." ”

After thinking about it again, he said: "Actually, I think Brother Da Lang is a good candidate, and I am throwing a temper when I am giving him a deputy." ”

When the big man heard this, he jumped up and scolded loudly: "Okay, you black-hearted thing, have I ever jumped into the well with your son?" You've come to hurt me. ”

Everyone laughed together, this Da Lang and Black Tiger Star are really affectionate, but he loves cavalry, and his uncle promised to be the captain of the cavalry team of the garrison in the base area, and at this time he wants to be the captain of the spearmen, and he is unwilling to die.

Seeing this, Hei Niu had no choice but to say honestly, "Then wait for King Chuang's arrangement, anyway, I am self-aware, and I will be the deputy." ”

So everyone persuaded together, so that the black bull would serve as the captain first, but the black bull made it clear that once there was a suitable captain, he would say whatever he wanted to be the deputy captain. This also became a freak of the army, until a few years later, the sixth team had grown to tens of thousands of people, and the black bull was also the captain until the heroic sacrifice of the grassland war.

The team was arranged, and then the material manpower was arranged, and it was decided to recruit displaced people to build Zhiluogou by means of work-for-relief, and at the same time arrange for the sergeant supervisor and half of the women's army to be transferred, and then a few experienced lieutenants of the old battalion were transferred to start the construction of Zhiluogou in accordance with the construction model of the old camp in Huluyu.

The matter was formed into a relatively perfect resolution in everyone's proposal, and it didn't end until dawn. Zheng Hao really opened his eyes at this meeting, and he began to really integrate into this energetic group.

Just as the meeting was about to end, the master of Ganquan hurried to ask for a meeting, and Zheng Hao hurriedly hid when he heard it.

Lu Shi let him in, and before he could sit down, the master of Ganquan asked cautiously: "I don't know if you heroes, when will you be able to leave this county as agreed?" ”

Lu Shihaha smiled and said: "I have disturbed you in the past two days, and there is a time to be a guest, so we decided to leave this afternoon, so we don't want you to see you off." ”

When the master heard this, his heart was put down, in fact, he was really afraid that this thief would simply take possession of it when he saw the richness of this sweet spring. After saying these things, he suddenly changed his words and said: "May I ask all the heroes, the day before yesterday, Lord Zheng of the Shangdian Shi of our county came to discuss with the heroes about giving up the city, but now there is no turn, please advise——"

"The donkey Zheng Hao you are talking about, right?" Guo Tianxing asked with a grin.

"Exactly."

"The donkey doesn't say good things, pulls the family small, tells us what Spring and Autumn righteousness, the emperor Longen, the sage's words, let us put down the sword and surrender, hahaha, isn't it ridiculous, we don't agree to force each other with the lives of the family, hahaha, it's really a big mistake, do you want to try our knife to break into the army is not happy, people can be bullied? So I fulfilled him, and sent his family to the saint to drag the text. ”

At that time, the face of the master bookkeeper turned white with fright, and he was about to ask again, but Cao Meng stepped forward and said, "My lord, do you want to see the three heads of the old and the young?" ”

At that time, the master book shook his hand again and again, and walked away.

Zheng Hao understood, walked out steadily, bowed to the people in the house, and said, "Brother, thank you brothers for your protection, I will defend the cottage to the death." ”
