People who are unlucky usually gamble and lose. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In just half an hour, Zhao Kun lost the silver given by Chen Di.

Zhao Kun was ready to make a desperate bet and bet all the last 5,000 taels of silver.

Liang Erhei grabbed Zhao Kun's hand: "Lord Zhao, my family said that you should not hang yourself on a tree on the dice table." He asked you to try the hemp hanging. He's already had two friends, and he's missing one. “

Zhao Kunqi said: "What, the horse master likes hemp hanging?" Well, listen to the advice and eat a full meal. I'll just play the hemp hang and change my luck. “

Liang Erhei led Zhao Kun to the private room on the second floor of the gambling house. In the private room on the second floor, Chen Di and two gamblers were waiting for Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun arched his hand: "I have long admired the name of the horse master." “

Chen Di smiled: "Where, where." General Zhao is the fierce general of the five armies. It's because I have admired General Zhao's name for a long time. “

Zhao Kun smiled bitterly in embarrassment: "Cough! What is the champion of the five armies? When I got to this gambling house, I was a defeated general! ”

The four of them have gathered, and the game has begun.

Zhao Kun seems to have really changed his luck! Chen Di gave him seven or eight guns in a row. The silver tickets in Zhao Kun's hand gradually increased.

Zhao Kun was overjoyed. Said happily: "Master Horse, you seem to have carried a fire into the gambling house today." How can you play any card? ”

Chen Di said: "Haha, General Zhao is lucky today, and he is brave and ruthless." Naturally, they are going to kill all sides. ”

Actually, this is the water that Chen Di deliberately put for Zhao Kun. The other two gamblers were also nurseries that Chen Di paid for.

In less than an hour, Zhao Kun won more than 50,000 taels of silver.

Chen Di gave the two gamblers a color, and the two gamblers said that they had something to do and said goodbye one after another.

In the private room, only Chen Di and Zhao Kun were left.

Zhao Kun is not a stupid person, he said to Chen Di: "Master Horse, although I am a rough person, I can see that you are sincerely sending me money." Say, is there anything I can help me do? ”

Chen Di didn't expect Zhao Kun to be such a cheerful person. He said, "Don't speak dark words in front of the Ming. I have here a letter that I hope General Zhao will present to the cabinet in his own name. ”

Chen Di handed a copy of the fold to Zhao Kun. Zhao Kun carefully flipped through the fold: "What is written in this fold is to ask the cabinet to approve the expansion of the office of the Ministry of War?" ”

Chen Di nodded and said, "That's right! ”

Zhao Kun asked: "I'm going to ask Master Ma for this." Why is the office being expanded? ”

Chen Di said: "The expansion is to produce more firearms for the sake of war! ”

Zhao Kun said: "As far as I know, guarding against Japanese invaders is a matter for Zhejiang. The Zhejiang Weisho Army has been completely dismantled. Now Zhejiang's Daming official army, only the Flying Tiger Army remains! Recently, the emperor transferred Zhu Houjun to be the commander of the Flying Tiger Army. Lao Zhu once served with me in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. He was a man, as I know, and had always opposed the use of firearms. In his eyes, the blood of real swords and guns is the magic weapon of the Ming army. No matter how many firearms the office makes, he won't use them when they are sent to the Flying Tiger Army! ”

Chen Di nodded: "What General Zhao said is the truth. ”

Zhao Kun said again: "Could it be that the master of the horse 。。。。。 Interested in regaining control of the Flying Tigers? ”

Chen Di said noncommittally: "It's not important. What matters is whether General Zhao is willing to give this letter to the cabinet. ”

Zhao Kun pondered for a while and said, "That's it! It is said that the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring! If it weren't for the horse master who gave me this silver today, I, Zhao Kun, am afraid that I would also lose the pawn ancestral house! I know that Master Horse is Yan Cifu's person. Yan Cifu and my uncle Xia Yan are incompatible. If you put this fold on it, eighty percent of it will be rejected by my uncle or left unpublished. I'll do the horse a favor! ”

Zhao Kun is a cheerful person, which makes Chen Di very happy. He arched his hand and said: "Then there is General Lao Zhao in this matter!" ”

Chen Di returned to the Hanlin Academy. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Hanlin Academy, a hundred guards said to Chen Di: "Yuzhang Courtyard, there is a person in the Military Department Office who has been waiting for you for a day!" ”

Chen Di knew that it must be Style Sun looking for him, so he asked, "Where is that person now?" “

The gatekeeper replied, "In the signing room." “

Chen Di came to the signing room, and Style Sun was pacing back and forth in the signing room. There is also a small baggage on the table in the signing room.

Seeing that Chen Di was coming, Style Sun stepped forward and said, "Master Horse, you are here!" I've been waiting for you all day! “

Chen Di asked Style Sun: "What is the matter so in a hurry?" “

Style Sun didn't say a word, and directly opened the little baggage. Inside the baggage, there was a shrunken iron-shelled flowering bomb, and more than a dozen small things wrapped in white paper. Chen Di understood that this little thing should be a paper shell bomb made by Style Sun.

Chen Di smiled and said: "Old Sun, you actually brought these things to the Hanlin Academy, is it possible to blow up the Hanlin Academy?" “

Style Sun said seriously: "My lord, these two things were made by me according to your instructions, but now I have encountered two problems. First, this 'grenade' can't be thrown far at all! Up to a dozen steps! If you light the fuse and throw it out, you may blow up your own people! Second, this paper shell can indeed increase the rate of fire of the Tiger Gun. It is possible to march to fight, and the ammunition of the gun should be carried on the soldiers, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, where the climate is humid, and the paper shell bullets are too easy to get wet! This will lead to the fire of the tiger! I tried once, and out of ten paper shells, only two of them were able to fire when they were damp. “

Chen Diluo thought about it for a while, and then gave a suggestion to Style Sun: "First of all, this 'grenade' can be reduced on the basis of the iron-shelled flowering bomb, and a wooden handle can be added to the back. When a soldier throws, he holds a wooden handle and throws. In this way, the distance of the throw can be greatly increased. The fact that paper shell bullets are prone to moisture is also easy to solve. Coating the cartridge with butter not only prevents it from getting wet, but also increases its lubrication when it is placed from the chamber so that it does not jam. ”

After hearing this, Style Sun suddenly brightened, and after a while, Style Sun popped out a sentence: "My God, Master Horse, if you are a craftsman who makes ordnance, you are definitely the best among military craftsmen!" ”

Chen Di waved his hand: "Don't say flattery!" I have already had the cabinet put on a fold, and I believe that soon the office will be expanded to include more craftsmen. You have to cheer me up and make Tiger Guns, Leech Crossbows, grenades, and paper shells as fast as possible! I'm still the same sentence, tell me if you're short of money, tell me if you're short of people! If I can solve the difficulties for you, I will definitely solve them for you! ”

Style Sun said: "Gotcha! Horse master, you just see! Decay, let's go back to the office! Hey, the iron shell flower bomb is added with a wooden handle, and the paper shell bullet is wrapped in butter. Why didn't you think of these two methods! ”

Originally, Chen Di also wanted to let Style Sun study rifled guns. It's just that with the current level of craftsmanship in the office, it is time-consuming and laborious to research and manufacture rifled guns. Inoue Shiro will have a large-scale invasion of Zhejiang in a few months, and it is simply too late. It's better to let Style Sun focus all his energy on making tiger guns, paper shell bullets, grenades, and leech crossbows.
