When Zhou Ronghua resold materials, in order to keep accounts and read accounts, he recognized many words and was able to read books.

He watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for most of the night, and his heart was a little excited, and he suddenly felt that if today, just like what is written in this book, Gao Dashuai is his lord, and he himself is the strategist and fierce general in the book, and he has a sense of substitution.

There is a pride in this book, each character is very vivid, the heroes want to establish a foundation, the strategists and generals assist the lord and achieve great things together, and those who have read it can't help but feel excited, and feel that the big husband is alive, and he has to do something big.

Zhou Ronghua couldn't extricate himself when he saw it, and his desire to help Gao Dashuai do things well became even stronger.

Early the next morning, he went to the Shuai's Mansion to visit, like Gao Yihuan asked for a few good horses, a few cultural relics, and tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the package ticket must persuade Zhang Xianzhong to agree to the alliance with Wei Wujun.

Gao Yihuan quickly complied with his request and gave him an extra box of firearms for him to take with him.

Zhou Ronghua made a little preparation, just like the strategist in the book, and set foot on the road to Sichuan.

After Zhou Ronghua left, Gao Yihuan asked Xuanyiwei to investigate the movements of the Qing army, and on the other hand, stepped up preparations for war.

After the last Mongol attack on Shanxi, the Wei army stepped up its infiltration into the north, but it was still short-lived, so many spies did not have access to the core secrets of the Manchu Dynasty.

Most of these spies can only contact the bottom of the Qing army, and naturally they can't provide any particularly detailed information.

At this time, judging from the intelligence, it is very likely that the Qing army will attack Ming, but Gao Yihuan can't be sure who will fight in the end.

Since you can't be sure, instead of bothering to guess, it's better to strengthen your own strength, and then you can deal with it calmly.

In July, Gao Yihuan began to resume the training of soldiers, and the sound of soldiers' training was heard from time to time on the school ground, as well as the singing of the art team.

At this time, the training of the soldiers was in full swing, and Gao Yihuan was running around in the training ground, firearms workshop, and Nanyang mine, preparing equipment and materials for the war.

As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

Excellent equipment is a major characteristic of the Wei Wu army, and the use of firearms is a key factor in the victory of the Wei Wu army in the war.

After the loss of Yuncheng, the north gate of Runing Mansion was occupied by the Qing army, and Runing Mansion was under the threat of the Qing army's front and was no longer safe.

Many wealthy people in Runing City have moved to Nanyang, or simply moved to Huguang.

The workshops outside Runing City were seriously damaged in the war, and after the Qing army retreated, Gao Yihuan did not start to restore them, but moved most of the workshops to Nanyang Mansion.

Nanyang has many minerals, abundant resources, and is a basin, surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is relatively safe.

Gao Yihuan half-established a firearms workshop in Nanyang, and after the firearms workshop in Runing was moved, a firearms workshop of nearly 3,000 people was formed.

The workshop in Xiangyang is mainly responsible for the production of gunpowder, earth-shaking thunder and other materials, while the firearms workshop in Nanyang is mainly responsible for casting firearms and artillery.

In the past year, the Wei Wu army has expanded rapidly, and coupled with the loss in the war, the Wei Wu army's armor, weapons, and firearms have been somewhat lost.

For this reason, since the beginning of the year, the workshops under the jurisdiction of the Ordnance Prison have been operating at full capacity.

Although it cannot meet the equipment of the 200,000 army, it is still no problem to maintain the equipment of about 60,000 elite armor soldiers.

At this time, on the school field of the cannon casting workshop, Gao Yihuan led a group of officials, who were watching nearly a hundred soldiers, taking turns to raise their guns and shoot, knocking the thick wooden planks fifty paces away into sawdust splashing, and the school field was filled with thick smoke.

This is a few steps ahead of the original bird gun, the distance of armor piercing, and they can't help but light up in their eyes.

Gao Yihuan bowed his head in satisfaction, and said to Chen Huiting on the side: "Chen Qijian, the range of this Lu Mi Gong seems to have increased a lot!" ”

Chen Huiting said with a smile: "Thanks to the fact that the marshal hired more than a dozen Franc machine people, our own craftsmen have learned a lot of skills, otherwise the power of the fire gun would not have been so significantly improved." ”

Gao Yihuan smiled, "Those white fans, they are still obedient in the workshop!" ”

"A few craftsmen are fine, just give silver, but the monk who is the leader is a headache, and often pulls the craftsman to make people believe in his teachings." Chen Huiting said.

"Learn all their skills first, and don't worry about the rest for the time being." Gao Yihuan said casually, and then asked: "Have the self-generated fire guns and flowering bombs achieved mass production?" ”

Chen Huiting hurriedly said: "There are still problems with the flowering bullet on the lead, and since the improvement of the fire gun, production has begun. ”

Gao Yihuan immediately smiled, "Bring out a batch of self-made fire guns and show them to everyone." ”

"Yes! Wait a minute! Chen Huiting hurriedly bowed, turned around and asked people to take the guns.

Gao Yihuan smiled and said to the generals: "Wait a while, let you see the next good thing." ”

After a short time, Chen Huiting brought more than a dozen craftsmen, each holding a jet-black firecracker, and walked to the shooting range.

Some of the soldiers had accompanied Gao Yihuan to inspect the workshop and had heard of self-made firearms, but now that they looked at it, they didn't think it was anything unusual.

At this time, the craftsmen had already filled in, Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, signaling that it was time to start, and several craftsmen lifted the gun with one shot, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and everyone was immediately blinded.

Hao Shaoqi exclaimed, "Damn, don't light a fire!" ”

Several generals of the Shun line were all surprised, and even the generals of Wei Wujun, who had already heard of them, were secretly surprised.

For a moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but shine and there was a lot of discussion, and at this time, the craftsmen had already finished reloading, and it was another shot.

Gao Yihuan looked at it, the rate of fire was much faster than that of the bird's gun, and its power had also increased, splashing the sawdust of the wooden plank seventy paces away.

"Not bad!" Gao Yihuan was overjoyed, he looked at Chen Huiting, "How much has been made now?" ”

Seeing these fire guns being created, Gao Yihuan was overjoyed, and he had one more hole card.

Chen Huiting said: "This is the first batch of self-generated fire guns made according to the "Illustrated Weapons of Weapons" combined with the self-generated guns of the Buddha machine, and now a thousand rods have been produced. ”

"Why don't you make more of such a good thing?" On the side, Zhao Daxian interjected.

Chen Huiting said: "General Zhao, this kind of firearm has just started to be produced, and the craftsmen are not yet skilled, plus several of the components have high requirements for the process, the manufacturing is slow, the cost is too high, and the ignition device is defective, sometimes it can't catch fire, so now the production is not fast, and it is only 200 rods a month." ”

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly when he heard this, his plan fell through, "This speed is too slow, make 3,000 strokes for Ben Shuai as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to form combat power." ”

Chen Huiting was a little embarrassed, but he still saluted and said, "Humble and orderly." ”

Gao Yihuan suddenly asked again: "How much is the rapid-fire copper cannon cast?" ”

"Dashuai, there is a shortage of copper ingots in the workshop, and the casting of copper cannons has stopped." Chen Huiting said.

"Stop? Have you run out of copper ingots in the library? Gao Yihuan frowned.

Chen Huiting said: "The copper ingots have been used up, and the workshop has melted a batch of copper coins and copper mirrors, and the remaining copper pieces in the warehouse are reserved for the fire gun casting parts, and the casting cannon is too copper-consuming." ”
