Tang Xidong spent an afternoon thinking, and the final result was the death of a brain cell, but there was no good way for the time being.

There are many ways for Yin people, but he is really not good at fighting.

The huge cottage wants no people, no guns.

Tang Xidong listened to the ancients, to talk about war, the time and place are favorable, these things are too profound, Tang Xidong can't understand it.

So, I can only put it down for the time being.

It's still important to be busy with the things in front of you.

In the evening, the newly made mud bricks entered the kiln, and this time the furnace was burning coal, which I believe will be much better than the last time.

Tang Xidong felt that with such a fire, it would be possible in about two days.

The five-hole brick kiln naturally needs young people to work overtime to fill it, so although night falls, the brick kiln is still fighting at night.

Nowadays, the second terraced field under the mountain has already been reclaimed, and according to the arrangement of Tang Xidong, the third terraced field is also being reclaimed.

The further down you go, the bigger and bigger the terraces, Tang Xidong roughly estimated, waiting for the fourth terraced fields to be reclaimed, there are nearly 1,000 acres of terraced fields in the cottage, which is really a huge project.

There is still a long way to go!

It is not far from the time of autumn planting, and I hope that all of them can be reclaimed, so that Tang Xidong can take the people of the cottage to start greenhouse planting, completely changing the situation of the lack of food in the cottage.

After everything was on track, Tang Xidong suddenly found that there was nothing to do.

So he returned to his room alone and began to secretly ponder how to complete the arduous task arranged by Liu Lianqing.

First of all, in order to solve the problem of people, these old peasants are not qualified to be mountain bandits, and they are even more swarms in the war.

The combat effectiveness is miserable, not to mention other combat disciplines.

So, first of all, you have to pull people out and practice hard.

Next, there is the question of weapons, old bows, embroidered swords, blunt knives, and wooden sticks, anyway, how to get worn.

Tang Xidong thought it funny when he thought about it, so he almost went to meet other people's sharp knives and guns with his bare hands.

Therefore, the problem of weapons needs to be solved, and it is best to create a weapon that is advanced in this era.

In the end, it is necessary to form a patrol team, after all, if you don't have intelligence, you are blind, you don't know when the other party will arrive, how to fight? When people come, you prepare again, maybe when you are ready to drive down the mountain, they will run early.

It's so hard! Tang Xidong covered his head with a big head, let's solve it the same first, leave it to fate, do what you can do, and the rest depends on whether God can help or not.

So, in the next two days, Tang Xidong began to make some preparations, and the young and strong were busy with the regiment and couldn't spare time to train, so Tang Xidong would solve the weapon problem first.

After pondering and meditating, he really created a weapon that was very advanced compared to this era.

It's all about the coming storm.

When Tang Xidong was a child, in addition to having fun in the fields with his bare buttocks, probably the most attractive thing for him was to make a slingshot gun, which is the first step for a child to learn to enjoy the achievements brought by doing it himself.

Tang Xidong didn't expect that one day he would start playing with such things again, especially after a long time.

In order to prepare to make a slingshot gun or a crossbow gun, Tang Xidong asked Liu Lianqing to borrow an old bow, and now the hunting bow is gone, and now it is lying quietly under Tang Xidong's bed, but the cow tendon used to make the bowstring is gone.

This repeater made Tang Xidong feel the sense of accomplishment of his childhood again.

Compared with the slingshot gun, the repeater gun he makes today refers to the principles of many modern firearms.

————

The gun carriage made of ash wood heart was polished by Tang Xidong and could not see a single stubble, the handle was wrapped with a soft black cloth, the barrel was very long, and the cow tendon was knotted in the perforation on the barrel, so half of the ox tendon was cut off, and the whole looked like an enlarged version of the revolver, and of course, there was a slightly longer barrel and a weird handle.

The reason why it is made like this is to take care of the elasticity of the beef tendon, which is too short, and it has no elasticity and cannot be pulled, so the gun body can only be made longer.

In the runner part, the upper buttocks are empty, and the five holes at the front end are also empty, making it look extraordinarily large. Because the tendon must be just catapulted to the empty buttocks, so that the short arrow can be shot.

Above the handle of the gun is a heavy, knob-like lever, and the tendon is hooked into the card slot on the lever.

The teeth of the gun body are cut out of the heavy ash wood.

Despite being ugly and bulky, it was definitely much stronger than the arquebuses of this era, except that the range was not too long.

Ox tendon replaced the gun fire and machine spring, a revolver spear that took the characteristic road of the Ming Dynasty.

The arrows that he took were cut off by Tang Xidong and made into short arrows.

Loading the arrow is extremely simple, insert five short arrows from the exposed wheel hole in the front, and then don't worry about it, just pull the lever hooked with the tendon again and again, then aim, and pull the thick trigger.

At this moment, Tang Xidong tried, pulling the thick and long lever with some effort, aiming at the tree trunk twenty steps away, and the moment he pulled the trigger, an arrow light flew through the air, and his eyes were not in a hurry to catch it, and there was already a "stomping" sound on the trunk, the sound was dull, but it could make people clearly feel the fierce force.

Tang Xidong walked over, looked at the three-finger-wide arrow body of Irimu with a small tail exposed, and used all his strength, but it was still strong.

So he nodded with satisfaction, the strength and accuracy were fine, and it would be better if the range was a little longer. Now I can shoot at most fifty paces, and no more accurate head and strength will be enough.

After thinking about it, if I have a chance in the future, I can get some iron and find a craftsman to try if I can shoot farther.

After making a comparison on his body, Tang Xidong felt that it was appropriate to carry his back behind him.

————

After creating a weapon that satisfied him, Tang Xidong went directly to Liu Lianqing.

In Liu Lianqing's courtyard, in front of the three village owners, five arrows were tested, and the eyes of the three of them widened in an instant.

Deng Dahu directly lost his temper, snatched the repeater gun, and tried to fiddle with it, fortunately, there was Tang Xidong's guidance next to him, and soon shot an arrow, looking at the short arrow that was deeply inserted into the wall, Deng Dahu carefully handed the repeater gun to Liu Lianqing, and he was excited to hug Tang Xidong all of a sudden, and hugged it tightly: "Brother Tang, you really have you, you are really the reincarnation of Wuhou, you are incompetent!" ”

Tang Xidong struggled to break free from Deng Dahu's embrace, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It's not so enthusiastic, but there is his nominal wife by his side.

Teach Liu Lianqing to get on the arrow, aim, and then shoot the arrow, Liu Lianqing's cold face also showed a hint of excited flushing.

"Tang Gongzi, this sharp weapon may be made in large quantities?" Liu Lianqing was still awake and asked urgently.

Tang Xidong nodded affirmatively, so the three of them were even more excited.

After that, everything went smoothly.

The more than ten carpenters in the cottage were all transferred to Tang Xidong for use, and all the hunting bows in the village were collected.

In the afternoon of this day, in the makeshift carpenter's shop, Tang Xidong dismantled the crossbow gun with his own hands, carefully explained the function and principle of each small part little by little, and then used the wooden ruler made by himself to teach the carpenters to measure the size and specifications.

After all, it involved many mechanical principles and structures in later generations, and Tang Xidong didn't expect these imprisoned carpenters to learn and understand them all at once, so he taught them over and over again, and sometimes he would get started by himself and carve wood pieces himself.

The cow tendon on a hunting bow can make two crossbow guns, and after collecting hunting bows that can be used in the cottage, Tang Xidong found that it was only enough to make more than 120 of them, although it was not enough for all young and strong people, but it was enough.

spent an afternoon groping and running in for the carpenters, and in the evening, I saw that these people were very high-spirited and did a very serious job.

Tang Xidong left and went to the brick kiln, he remembered that the bricks of the first brick kiln were about to come out of the kiln.

When Tang Xidong arrived at the mouth of the brick kiln, the kiln was already full of young people and a group of teenagers, all waiting for the new bricks to come out of the kiln.

After all, the last time was a failure.

The stove has been turned off and the seals have been broken.

After waiting for the temperature to drop, without Tang Xidong's command, a young man couldn't wait to get in, and then after a short time, the yellow-dyed man ran out with a basket.

He carefully placed the basket in his hand on the ground, and the people in front of him surrounded him at once.

"Let Jean, let Mr. Tang see first, what do you people know?" Tang Sanxian shouted as he pushed away the crowd.

The crowd parted smoothly and made way for Tang Xidong to make his debut, and he walked in and squatted down, taking advantage of the light of the torch to inspect.

Flip the bricks, pick up two more and tap them on each other to hear the sound.

Finally, a smile appeared on his face, he stood up, looked at the faces of nervous anticipation, held up the bricks in his hands, and shouted happily: "Everyone, it's done." ”

Immediately afterwards, a cry of excitement and joy sounded in front of the brick kiln: "It's done!" ”

"It's done, it's done."

"It's finally done."

The men who were hit by success shouted and jumped happily one by one.

They are not afraid of labor, they are afraid of being tired and tired for half a day, and they will not be able to produce good things.

For these simple farmers, this is a very successful thing.

Now that the bricks are burned, there is no need to shrink back, and the bricks are burned in great strides.

And all this has nothing to do with Tang Xidong, these men have already learned.

The biggest difference between Tang Xidong and the masters of this era is that he never leaves a hand and cherishes himself.
