Chapter 175: Pre-Battle Preparations
The person from the Zhao family is the eldest son Zhao Yuan!
Liu Yuanshan was very contemptuous, and he didn't even invite Zhao Yuan into the courtyard gate, but only received him on a bluestone slab on a hillside from a distance, but the hot tea sent by the subordinates was not too rude. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"San Lang won't invite me to sit in the house?" Zhao Yuan was angry because of Liu Yuanshan's contempt.
Liu Yuanshan said with a hippie smile: "Zhao Dagongzi misunderstood me, earlier my teacher Wang Xiucai also came up to the mountain, I invited his old man into the room, and his old man repeatedly refused, after all, my family is all female dependents, please forgive me for the inconvenience!" ”
"Then go to the temple!" Zhao Yuan pointed to the door of Qianning Temple in the distance
"The temple is a place where people live, for fear of staining your identity as the eldest son, the distant mountains will never dare!" Liu Yuanshan had a warm face and a smile like a spring breeze.
Zhao Yuan snorted coldly twice and stopped insisting.
In fact, he wasn't really angry, he just wanted to enter Liu Yuanshan's house by getting angry and see if he could find out a little bit of the secret of osmanthus soap, but now Liu Yuanshan simply refused, and he had no choice.
"San Lang went out and just came back?" Zhao Yuan also smiled.
"What do you have to say, I have a lot of things to do!"
"Huh!" Zhao Yuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I heard that the bandits above Tongshan are eyeing your family?" ”
"And then?" Liu Yuanshan was a little careless.
"And then?" Zhao Yuan gently put the teacup on the stone slab and said in a low voice: "Then I will come over to rescue you from the sea of fire, my father is magnanimous, forgive you for being young and ignorant, and I can give you another chance, if you are willing to join my Zhao family's group training, those bandits will naturally be fine!" ”
"Join your Zhao family group training?" Liu Yuanshan smiled: "Hehe, I'm afraid it's not easy, I don't know how much silver our Liu family has to pay to join your Zhao family?" Or, do you want to give you the recipe of osmanthus soap? ”
"Saburo is a smart man!" Zhao Yuan didn't say anything, but the meaning of the words had been expressed very clearly: "Compared with those things outside the body, the life of the family is more important, and smart people must be able to distinguish it clearly." ”
"If you join my Zhao family's group training, the money you stole before will also be returned, so that although you can't be rich and expensive, you can also live this life with peace of mind, why not? By the way, don't expect the government, Lord Huang and they won't come! Zhao Yuan raised his index finger and swung it twice, looking complacent.
"In this way, I'm afraid those bandits can't get out of your Zhao family, right?" Liu Yuanshan's eyes showed a cold light!
"What can you do?" Zhao Yuan raised his head proudly, looking like I will eat you!
"Don't send it!" Liu Yuanshan stood up, too lazy to look at his pretending appearance, stretched his waist lazily, patted his stomach and said, "I'm so hungry, I'm sorry, I'm going to eat!" ”
"San Lang!" Zhao Yuan was forcibly terminated after half of the pretend, stood up very uncomfortably, looked at Liu Yuanshan and said fiercely: "San Lang, you are a smart person, I advise you not to make mistakes and affect your family, but I heard that those bandits want to arrest your sister as the wife of the village?" ”
"I'm ......" Liu Yuanshan spit on Zhao Yuan's face, and said with a sneer: "If you say it again, I will make you five feet cheap!" He pulled out the sword he brought from Xue Huan and pointed at Zhao Yuan.
The sword was like jade, the whole body was cold, and it emitted a cold light in the daylight, even if it was at the head of the daylight at this time, Zhao Yuan also felt a chill.
"You ......" Zhao Yuan held his breath and retreated, and turned back unwillingly: "Just wait, the bandits won't let you go!" ”
"Don't worry, they all have to die, and none of them will survive!" Liu Yuanshan coldly left a sentence and turned to go home.
After eating, there is no time to rest, and all the subordinates are gathered as soon as possible.
The people who bought it twice before and after were there, except for those who were injured, Liu Yuanshan selected twelve people, including himself, and these twelve people were basically the people who followed him to mine in the Shennong Mountains some time ago.
"Alright, rest the rest, you twelve come with me!" Liu Yuanshan waved his hand and led the twelve people into the small courtyard at the back of Qianning Temple.
There is a hidden stone house in the small courtyard, Liu Yuanshan opened the door of the stone house, and the dazzling things inside were immediately displayed in front of everyone, including large pieces of sulfur, a few baskets of dried wicker charcoal, and dried fire nitrate sealed with a jar.
Liu Yuanshan assigned tasks to everyone, divided into two groups, each group of five people, some people are responsible for grinding wicker charcoal, and some are responsible for grinding sulfur, anyway, Liu Yuanshan's request is that the finer the better.
As for the nitrate, it is originally a powder, and it can be used directly, and there is no need to reprocess.
After the work was arranged, he took one to the simple workshop again, and asked Han Laotie to take the two apprentices to bring all the twenty-two guns, and then drive them out.
The rest is much simpler.
Liu Yuanshan cooperated with one to remove all the barrels, and then carved them one by one with a carving knife, and the rifled flintlock pistol was manufactured.
After the flintlock pistol was made, a mark was engraved on the position of each butt, numbered from one to twenty-two, with no broken number in between.
"Don't tell anyone what you're doing here!" Liu Yuanshan reminded one again and warned him of the consequences of leaking the secret: "If someone outside knows that we have drawn marks in the barrel of the gun, it is you who leaked it." ”
After a short time, the two teams in the stone house ground wicker charcoal and sulfur into powder, and Liu Yuanshan entered the stone house with a scale. Again, they kicked everyone out, and this time even one was no exception.
To prepare gunpowder, it is necessary to master the proportions.
According to the chemical equation when the chemical reaction of the three articles occurs, the optimal ratio is two nitrate, one sulfur and three carbon, of course, this is only calculated according to the molecular formula, if the mass is calculated, the proportion of fire and nitrate is about 74 percent, sulfur is 11.5 percent, and charcoal is about 13.5 percent.
In view of the existence of impurities in various main materials and the float of charcoal fired from different woods, this ratio is not very accurate, but for Liu Yuanshan now, it is already a very good proportion.
Even the ratio of gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty could not reach this level.
The gunpowder, which had been long-awaited and had taken a lot of hard work, finally appeared in front of Liu Yuanshan, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath, finally, he could increase the range of the musket.
Now that the gunpowder is ready, the next step is to adjust the musket and teach the men how to use it.
Once these pre-war preparations are completed, then the end of the bandits will come! (To be continued.) )
