The next day, Xiao Chuan got up early, went to the armory to get his things, took hundreds of soldiers, pushed all the cars he could find, and all came to the door of the armory.

When they came to the door of the armory, the soldiers guarding the door wiped their eyes and said strangely, "What are you doing?" The guards all wiped their eyes and asked strangely. ”

"The one who carries the ordnance" Na Xiaochuan took the document and showed it to the soldier, the document only unloaded the carrying ordnance, but it didn't write much, but Chu Baichuan thought that Xiaochuan was a person who would abide by the agreement, and said that taking a hundred is a hundred.

The soldier looked at the pair of cars behind him, as well as the documents of the prefect in his hand, and said in his heart that if they were moved like this, they would not need to exist as a guard in the future, but they still opened the vermilion gate behind them and let them in, after all, the prefect's edicts were all there, and they all thought that the prefect wanted to save the ordnance in another place.

As soon as I walked in, there was a deep smell of steel rust in my mouth and nose, and on one side was a pole fire gun, a three-tube winged tiger gun, and even a five-pipe winged tiger gun, as well as a self-generated fire gun, as well as a five-thunder god machine, a large firearm with thirteen guns. Boom. All kinds of thunderbolts with baffles, as well as Xuanyuan guns with that kind of windproof device, Xiaochuan who looked at the electric guns had to be fascinated by his eyes.

'Haha, you're rich, you're rich," Wang Youcai immediately shouted.

"Yes, with these firecrackers, hehe, you can fight when you encounter Tartars in the future"

Looking at these firearms, Xiaochuan's heart blossomed, these firecrackers are well-made, I don't know how many times they can fight, and I am afraid that their 1,000 new troops can be directly turned into pure firearms troops. And, what does the presence of these firearms mean? It shows that the craftsmen in the city can make such advanced weapons.

A group of people were overjoyed, desperately looking at the car loaded with firearms, all of which were stuffed full, looking at their appearance, Xiaochuan hurriedly kicked a few times, and said: "Hehe, less decoration, leave a little for the state capital"

It was Han Gang who was kicked, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Lord, even if you kick me to death, I will pretend." ”

There is also that group of girls, one of them took a five-tube Winged Tiger Gun, and two of them took the kind of large five-thunder god machine with thirteen guns, all of them looked happy, and there were others, that is, even more amazing.

But Nicole found that there were five taels of silver under the box, her eyes lit up, and she stuffed it into her sleeve, pretending that nothing had happened, but she was seen by Xiaochuan, but she didn't say anything.

A group of people were frantically carrying, and all the firearms that were more advanced than the bird guns were moved to the cart, all of them were tired and panting, but they still had to continue to carry, and the car was still full at this time. I took a look at it.

This harvest of 300 guns, 100 guns, 50 guns of the Winged Tiger, 50 guns of the five thunder gods, and others, Xuanyuan guns, guns of electricity, took nearly 100 guns, and still emptied the armory, left them with some birds that they didn't look down on, and turned away, leaving behind the guards who were messy in the wind.

A group of people hurriedly sent their firearms to the barracks, and according to the information given by Chu Baichuan, they went to find the craftsmen in the state capital and came to the place where the craftsmen lived.

The life of the Ming Dynasty craftsmen was miserable, even the military households were inferior, the military households were at least half of the tenants, the craftsmen did not even have land, the imperial court arranged tasks, and entered the city for free.

But the state government is fundamentally different, the state government is responsible for building ordnance craftsmen are different from ordinary craftsmen, they are responsible for building firearms in the army, if they can also replace it with spotted silver, then the Ming army is not going to hold a burning stick? They lived a life of ordinary hardship, but they were not ordinary craftsmen, but the craftsmen directly under the jurisdiction of the military equipment were strictly managed, and after leaving a few houses, those craftsmen lived in the most dilapidated houses in the city, and some did not even have a door.

According to the information, I came to the first artisan household, but the artisan family's house was a thatched house, made of earth, and there were no windows in the house, and a hole was set, and the water tank was plugged into the hole.

There was no door, so I found a plank and put it in the opening that had been made at the beginning.

Walking inside, there were a lot of abrasives and other things, and there was a smell of rust in the air, and there was a middle-aged man with a face full of furrows, but a middle-aged man with black hair, who was banging and beating, and was muttering a piece of iron anyway.

Wang Youcai, who was holding the information in his hand on the side, said: "He is the original craftsman, and his craftsmanship is unique, and he can make that kind of five-pipe winged tiger gun."

The five-sensed winged tiger gun is the kind of wheel-type firearm that can be launched with one hole and can be fired five times, which is more advanced than the ordinary three-barreled one, but this person can make five-barreled guns, and I was surprised! This person is definitely a baby!

The old man also raised his head and said strangely, "Who are you and why did you come to my house?" Looking at Xiao Chuan's dress, the group of soldiers behind him was even more strange.

Xiao Chuan explained his intentions, this old man actually wanted to drive Xiao Chuan and his party away, Xiao Chuan reasoned with him, but this guy snorted coldly: "I am a blacksmith of the Ming Dynasty, making firearms for the Ming army, how can you recruit me." Looking at his appearance, he still understood that this old man had already regarded this kind of thing as a matter of honoring his ancestors, and it was not easy to do, and suddenly there was a cry on the side.

"The head of the house, the head of the house, you still don't let us live" A man who looked like an old woman came on the side, hitting the middle-aged man with a wooden stick in his hand, looking like an old woman but the wife of the middle-aged man, crying: "The surname Liu, what is the family like, you are still working hard for the state capital, if you don't leave, I won't live"

"I" Liu Xing's blacksmith had tears in his eyes, and looked at the things in his hand with some confusion, and said; "Since I was a child, I have been determined to build iron tools for the Ming Dynasty and serve the imperial court! How can such a country's heavy weapons fall into the people! He remembered his father's dying entrustment, no matter how hard and tired he was, he had to make every firearm for the imperial court, which was the life of the soldiers and the confidence of the Ming Dynasty! The most important weapon of the country! And this time Xiaochuan's conditions made him moved, but the persistence in his heart was still not shaken, which was already a responsibility passed down from generation to generation.

"We are also the Ming army, and you are also serving the court with us," Wang Youcai said on the side, breaking the old man's insistence.

"I'm a thousand households in the guard, you can also serve Daming if you join my guard, and you will have silver after you come" said and directly took out two taels of shadows, seeing that he was not enough, and went directly to Tao Nan Nicole's pocket, Nicole immediately scratched and scratched, but Xiao Chuan took it out of his pocket and took out two taels of silver, and she stared at Xiao Chuan with a pair of beautiful big eyes.

"The head of the house, the head of the house" The old woman cried even more, looked at the silver and said, "Do you want your son to suffer as much as you?" , You have suffered all your life, and I have suffered all my life, do you want Ying'er to suffer for a lifetime like you? You are so ruthless! ”

The blacksmith's brows wrinkled deeper, on the one hand, he was depressed after serving the Ming Dynasty, but his situation was getting worse, and his family was living in hardship, on the other hand, it was the naked money, and the wooden stick that his wife hit him did not make him feel anything, when he thought of what had happened for so many years, but he felt unspeakable sorrow in his heart, thinking of his son, his heart trembled, and said: "My lord, I will go with you." "Responsibility, that responsibility is a little short compared to his son's future, and responsibility should end with me.

Good! In order to show his sincerity, Ogawa immediately gave the silver to the popular blacksmith, and took out the silver from Nicole's pocket, Nicole looked at Ogawa with a murderous gaze, and finally bit Ogawa's hand, Ogawa slapped her head heavily with one hand, and she was relieved.

He gave the blacksmith Liu two taels of silver, and his wife quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, thank you, my lord, the old woman wants to set up a shrine for the adult." ”

After speaking, the old woman slapped her husband again, and said, "Boss, it's not too fast Thank you, sir, are you stupid for such a good opportunity?"

Xiao Chuan is strange in his heart, obviously life is so difficult, he still does not want to join his own blacksmith shop, and would rather continue his career in this state capital, Xiao Chuan is a little incomprehensible, maybe these blacksmiths themselves are not pursuing fame and fortune, but another thing, and then this group of blacksmiths will get worse and worse, and most of them will eventually go bankrupt, and a passion for serving the country in their chests will not be exchanged for food. Otherwise, according to the level of firearms in the Ming Dynasty at that time, how could they lose to the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

The next twenty or so blacksmiths are like this, in addition to the skills passed down from generation to generation, there is also a responsibility for them to refuse, but the mother-in-law in the family is crying and making trouble, and the poor life is constantly beating these iron-clad men, but they are defeated by their mother-in-law's pleas. Fifteen blacksmiths, apprentices, together there are nearly seventy people, they have joined their own fortress, the number of those blacksmiths in their fortress has tripled, and there are still five craftsmen who are unwilling to leave, preferring to continue to serve the Ming Dynasty in this city.

This third refers to the number of real blacksmiths, and those who have only been sent by half-hangers to study for two months are not counted, and many of them are masters of the real secret technology, those who can build the Winged Tiger Gun, the Thunderbolt Gun, and even the Five Thunder God Machine. Although some of the techniques are too difficult, especially the Five Thunder God Machine, there are some crafts in some places that only he can complete, and these are all real masters of the country.

*******

On the other side, when Chu Baichuan saw the basically empty armory, he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and said: "Treacherous and cunning, extremely shameless," he said the most evil words he could think of, and said: "Don't talk about the ball of integrity, the ball, come on, I'm going to find Qin Xiaochuan, I'm going to find him"

He couldn't imagine how there could be such a treacherous person in the world, who was not honest and deceived all the firearms in his armory.

On the side, Uncle Qin shook his head, and there was a wave of slander in his heart, alas, I really don't know, how did the old general Qin give birth to such a treacherous and cunning son.

"What about Qin Xiaochuan, what about Qin Xiaochuan" Chu Baichuan shouted angrily: "Call that Qiu Ba to me, return my firearm, return it"

"Report, he has left the state capital, and is gathering troops to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders," said a personal soldier on the side.

"What, I want to run away after grabbing something" Chu Baichuan immediately prepared to play on Zhezai, but when he thought of how he could play? robbery, he first asked him to get weapons, and he still has his own instructions, which is hateful. But he couldn't help it. However, there are all the craftsmen in the city, and he is not worried.

"Report, someone came to report that Qin Xiaochuan, the twenty blacksmith households in the city, has taken away fifteen households!" Someone came to report again.

Burst! This Chu Baichuan almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and said, "How can he be like this, can he be like this!" How dare you! ”

"Shameless thief, shameless thief" Chu Baichuan said angrily, "The second battle is over, I must go to the book to play the emperor on this matter, damnable!" ”
