The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

"High dive?"

Chongzhen is a little sad, and he is also an old man who believes in the palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info otherwise, he would not be so trusted.

However, the more this is the case, the more heart-wrenching it becomes.

"Proof! It's a strange statement that I let my eunuchs do things, when do I need evidence.

The intent is to arrest the old thing that eats inside and out, and let the people of the Zhenfu Division transfer a few torture masters over, and I don't believe that he won't recruit under severe torture.

It just so happened that Qin Aiqing was here, so he let him go, and he didn't have to look ahead and backward, for fear of causing turmoil.

Lu Aiqing is too soft-hearted and thinks too much, so she lets them become bigger. ”

Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said.

"Huh! It's just that after Qin Du went through this incident, he was afraid that he would make countless enemies in the Ming officialdom.

Jin Shang didn't know how many courtiers' food and clothing parents, but now they have been wiped out by Qin Governor and cut off their financial routes. It's hard for them to say anything at the moment, and small actions will definitely be indispensable in the future. ”

Qin Haoming's foundation is shallow, and he has no Austrian aid in the court, but he has some forces in the Tianxiong Army.

Wang Chengen was genuinely worried about him.

"Qin Aiqing has no distractions and thinks about Da Ming wholeheartedly!

It's a pity that I didn't listen to his advice at the beginning, cut through the chaos quickly, and exterminate Zhang Rebellion, but now it's too late to regret it!

So much so that the Ming Dynasty entered an eventful autumn again, and the training salary had to be levied. ”

Chongzhen pounded the imperial case with regret and regretted it infinitely.

On April 28, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, without waiting for Yang Sichang to arrive in Xiangyang, Zhang Xianzhong rebelled again in Gucheng and quickly defeated the officers and troops guarding Gucheng.

Killed the county commander Ruan Zhitian and the patrol Yu Shi Lin Mingqiu, demolished the city wall, and robbed the library and imprisoned him. Zhang Dajing, Ma Tingbao and Xu Qizuo were forced to surrender.

When Zhang Xianzhong left Gucheng, he wrote in detail the list, numbers and times of bribes from officials of all sizes in the government on the walls inside and outside the city, which embarrassed Daming.

When Zhang Xianzhong rose again, Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying also responded, and went to Gucheng to meet Zhang Xianzhong.

Li Zicheng, who was hidden in the Shangluo Mountains, also regrouped and entered Henan through the Yun and Jun regions of Hubei.

When Xiong Wencan learned of the resurgence of the rebels, he immediately transferred Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai to lead the troops to pursue and suppress them.

Zhang Xianzhong ambushed the army in Luohou Mountain west of Fang County, spread a net to set up a formation, and sent a team to feint defeat and retreat, luring the official army into the mountain, ambush and besiege.

More than 10,000 officers and soldiers were all scattered, Luo Dai was captured alive, Zuo Liangyu lost his armor and fled, and even the military seal letter was lost.

Chongzhen was furious, removed Xiong Wencan from his post and arrested him. Zuo Liangyu was demoted to three levels, and he made meritorious service with the army.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, what Qin Haoming and Yang Sichang did made Chongzhen's heart gradually biased towards Qin Haoming.

Not to mention anything else, just based on what Qin Haoming said in his secret secret, this time the Jin merchants won, there should be tens of millions of funds, please exempt Xuanda, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi five provinces to practice salary, how frank they are.

It's just that Chongzhen really can't agree, and he can't make ends meet!

"Great companion, with the order of Lu Xiangsheng, Chongzhen took office as the governor of Xuanda on June 1 of the twelfth year. Qin Haoming was transferred to the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou, with a bounty of 30,000 yuan, and the appointment and dismissal of five-grade officials were decided by himself. ”

Chongzhen no longer dared to be careless, Qin Haoming said that Zheng Zhilong was harmful, and he was always vigilant now.

Lu Xiangsheng is doing things steadily, Qin Haoming is energetic, and each has something to look forward to, and it happens to play a role in different places.

The Xuanfu Military War Bureau, through the assessment of Wang Dali and other craftsmen, finally qualified 150 people to participate in the Fujian Fujian Military War Bureau.

Among them, there are 50 firearms craftsmen, 40 iron craftsmen, and 60 other traditional weapons craftsmen.

A few days later, a pot of pig iron that weighed 100 catties and had been burned red was put into a frying steel furnace under Wang Dali's order.

A huge bellows is pulled by a colt and a large amount of heated air begins to pour into the furnace.

Subsequently, two blacksmiths, completely protected by iron armor, began to stir the molten pig iron in their hands with refractory materials.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour......

After the color of the red molten iron began to slowly darken, Qin Haoming, who felt that the time had been about the same, decisively ordered the blacksmith to stop copying steel.

When the molten iron is opened, the red molten iron quickly flows out of the frying furnace and flows into the molds that have already been built along the grooves.

Cooling, cooling down......

Five steel ingots weighing twenty pounds finally appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the hot gaze on the faces of Wang Dali and the others, Qin Haoming commanded in a deep voice:

"Craftsman Wang, let's test the hardness of these steel ingots immediately and see if they can meet the requirements for making musket barrels......"

"Yes, sir."

A few blacksmiths who had been waiting next to him quickly picked up the steel ingots and rushed to the stove where they had made their muskets.

Heating, hammering, and chopping experiments with already machined steel knives......

An hour later, several blacksmiths in charge of the test rushed over with excitement on their faces.

From the smiles on everyone's faces, Qin Haoming can be sure that the steel frying method he tested has been successful.

"Leave ten blacksmiths behind, and the others go out and wait for news."

Qin Haoming ordered indifferently.

Today, he is ready to make a seamless steel pipe out in one go.

The iron mold of the musket barrel made by Wang Dali was mounted on the turntable, and the two horses pulled it around a few times.

Visually alone, the mold, which rotates at high speed, does not deflect at any point under the drive of gears and transmission belts.

Now, the only thing that needs to be verified is whether the rotation speed of the iron mold is sufficient? Is it possible to use centrifugal force to throw the molten iron poured into the iron mold onto the wall around the iron mold?

"Craftsman Li, immediately bring over the paint I asked you to mix with clay, and paint the entire inner wall of the iron mold. Don't miss a single bit, and it has to be even. ”

An hour later, all the paint brushed on the inner wall of the iron mold dried, and the pot of molten steel, which had been in a state of preparation, was also burned red.

Under Qin Haoming's order, the molten steel weighing ten catties was slowly poured into the iron mold.

Under the command of a blacksmith, the grinding disc weighing two hundred catties began to slowly turn.

Although the rotation speed of the circular grinding disc is very slow, the circular iron mold standing in the center of the stone mill is driven by the gears and rotates at a high speed of dozens of times.

Qin Haoming, who was standing next to the grinding disc, clearly saw that as the grinding disc rotated faster and faster, the molten iron in the iron mold also began to rotate.

As the grinding disc rotated faster and faster, the small pit inside the red molten steel began to get deeper and deeper.

Of course, more and more of the red molten steel began to be thrown outward due to centrifugal force, adhering to the inner wall of the iron mold that had been coated with a layer of paint.

Under the action of strong centrifugal force, the molten steel attached to the inner wall of the iron mold becomes more and more uniform, and even the limited air bubbles mixed in the middle of the molten steel are thrown out.

"A few of you, immediately remove the iron mold with a tool and install the iron mold on the fixed position of the stamping machine.

Relying on manpower, while the molten steel has not yet been completely hardened, press the steel rod into the barrel of the iron mold, and use the steel rod to squeeze the inside of the barrel evenly......"

After the iron die, which still emits a burst of heat, was fixed to the improvised press, two turntables tied with cowhide drawstrings quickly turned under the action of several apprentices.

As the cowhide drawstring tightened and tightened, the smooth steel rod attached to the hardwood slider began to slowly press into the barrel hole inside the iron mold.

It only took two hours, and under the continuous polishing of the two blacksmiths, the barrel of the gun, which emitted a cold light on the surface, was sent to Qin Haoming.

Looking at the barrel of the gun in his hand, Qin Haoming's eyes lit up as if he saw his own child.

The barrel is finally taking shape.
