Chapter XXVIII
Since the formation of the security team, Zhao Guohua wanted to configure the armor for the security team, but the armor is too expensive, and difficult to make, a village security team configuration armor is too eye-catching, and the armor is too heavy, his future development is based on firearms, wearing armor to affect the action, thinking about it, he remembered the Three Kingdoms Zhuge Liang burned the rattan armor soldiers, so he asked Sun Laohan to go to the mountains to find some wild rattans, after selection, found a kind of wild rattan, this kind of rattan toughness is excellent, elasticity is good, after drying is light, So he had a rattan vest braided, and after wearing it, it was tied from the back.

Through many experiments of spear stabbing and arrow shooting, he found that this kind of rattan vest only needs to be woven in three layers, and its anti-stabbing and anti-shooting ability is better than the cotton armor of the Ming soldiers, so he asked the women in the village to weave rattan armor for the team members to wear in their clothes as anti-bow and arrow vests, and the team members were still a little unaccustomed to wearing them at first, but under the strict requirements of their respective squadron leaders, they slowly got used to it.
"Assemble! Take a break, stand upright, look to the right, and report the number ......" Cheng Chong shouted as he stood in front of a team of fifty team members escorting the goods
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight......" the players shouted.
"Good! The team is assembled. Take a break, stand upright, look to the right, turn left, and set ......off," Cheng Chong ordered, and a small team dressed neatly in blue and black clothes and with red scarves around their necks followed the cart transporting goods to the outside of the village.
In the distance, on a tree, a man watched all this, wrote a few crooked words on a piece of paper, and then a dove rushed away.
After a while, seeing that no one was paying attention here, the people in the trees slid down and walked quickly towards the county seat.
"In the past, the other side informed the second leader, and said that the goods had left the village and would arrive in about an hour, so we would hurry up and rest, and then we would have the strength to fight." Liu Youtian, the fourth leader, commanded with a pigeon in his hand.
"Yes! The second leader, the little one immediately went over and informed the second leader, "A little minion promised to leave."
After coming down from the tree, Liu Qi, a member of the Yang Mansion, walked quickly to the county seat, and his legs were weak and numb, and finally met a cart that delivered goods to the county seat, and Liu Qi hurriedly spent five copper coins to sit on it.
Sitting in the car, he thought beautifully: The last time he and Zhang Wu went to inquire about the transportation of soap and shampoo in Mingfeng Village and the news in and out of the village, the young master rewarded the two of them with fifty taels of silver each, which was the top of his salary for four years, and he was very happy, and those silver were enough for him to live happily for two months at Widow Liu in Jijiao Lane, I don't know how much the young master will reward this time.
Thinking of Widow Liu's fat white ****** and bulging ****, Liu Qi's body was hot for a while, and his mouth was a little dry.
After entering the county seat and getting out of the car, Liu Qi hurriedly returned to Yang's mansion, and reported the news that he saw the goods from Mingfeng Village out of the village, and had used a pigeon to inform the Qinglongzhai ambush to the eldest young master Yang Rui, Yang Rui's eyes lit up when he listened, and he laughed and said: "You did it well, when this thing is done, I have a heavy reward, you go down first......
"Yes! Gentleman! Liu Qi bowed down and bowed, and went out with a smile.
Thinking of the stunned scene of those mud-legged people in Mingfeng Village when they heard the news that their soap and shampoo of tens of thousands of taels of silver had disappeared, Yang Rui's heart was happier than drinking iced sour plum soup on dog days.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he hummed a little song and went to a friend to drink flower wine.
Seeing the crowd of people queuing up to buy soap at the door of "Yongxiang Zhai" from a distance, Yang Rui couldn't help but walk over and stand on the opposite side and watch jealously. The guy in the store, Zhang San's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Yang Rui walking outside the store, he whispered to Zhao Liu in confusion: "Isn't that the eldest son of Yang Papi?" What is he doing here? ”
"You go and report to the owner." Zhang Sandao.
"Okay." Zhao Liu agreed, put down the work at hand, and ran to the backyard.
After listening to what Zhao Liu said, Qian Wancai said: "Okay, I know, you can go out." ”
After Zhao Liu went out, Qian Wancai thought for a while and walked out.
Seeing Yang Rui, Qian Wancai squeezed out a smiling face, bowed his hand, and said haha: "Ouch, isn't this Yang Gongzi, why do you have time to come here today, are you here to take care of the business of the small shop?" Don't know what to buy? ”
"Boss Qian, the business in your store is so good, it's really making money every day......" Yang Rui said with a fake smile.
"Where is this, Yang Gongzi has won the prize, and he is just making a little money to make a living." Qian Wancai said with a happy face.
Looking at his smug smile, Yang Rui couldn't wait to rush over and punch a few times.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred, the smile on Yang Rui's face gradually became a little unsightly.
"If you still have something to do, I won't accompany Brother Qian." Yang Rui said, bowed his hand to Qian Wancai, turned around and left.
Looking at Yang Rui's back, Qian Wancai laughed.
In the past, the resentment of being squeezed by the Yang family when selling soaphorn and poria paste can finally be vented by the people of the Yang family today.
Listening to Qian Wancai's smug laughter, Yang Rui's face became even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and whispered as he walked: "Laugh, Lao Tzu will make you proud for a few more days" said while leaving quickly.
Besides, after Zhao Guohua and Zhang Shun came to Nanjing, they showed the official document to Bi Maokang, and after reading the official document, Bi Maokang didn't speak, Zhao Guohua took out the photos to him again, carefully and slowly looked at the photos one by one, and after looking at them for a while, Bi Maokang put down the photos and said with a sigh: "This Huaxia country, I am far worse than Daming!" ……”
He stood stunned for a while, and then said: "Let's go, I'll take you to the Ordnance Bureau, you yourself and the Weapons Bureau Ambassador Wang Gui will talk about this, and the old man will be responsible for selecting the firecracker for you." ”
So the group went to the Ordnance Bureau, with the official document, and Bi Maokang's face, the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau Wang Gui readily agreed to Zhao Guohua's request, and sold him 100 rods of Lu Mi Gong at the price of 30 taels of silver per rod, so 100 rods of Lu Mi Gong that had been inspected by Bi Maokang were boxed, and he bought 3,000 catties of gunpowder from the Ordnance Bureau at the price of 2 taels of silver and 1 catty.
In 1598 (the twenty-sixth year of Wanli), Zhao Shizhen asked the envoy of Lumi (Turkey) Duo Sima about the structure and production method of the musket of Lumi State, and made it into "Lumi Gun" after improvement. Shi Zai: "It weighs about seven or eight pounds, is about six or seven feet long, and the dragon head rail and machine are all in the bed." Four coins for medicine, three coins for lead bullets" when put, grab the hand in front, tuck the end of the bed in the back, only pinch the machine, do not dial the body and hands do not move, the fire door is a little farther away from the sight, the initial smoke rises, and it will not be shocking. In "Wu Bei Zhi", it is said: "Bird gun: Weilu Mi gun is the farthest and most poisonous." ”
The shape and structure of the whole Lumi gun is composed of a gun tube, a gun bed, a curved buttstock, a dragon head and a trigger, a fire gate, a rail, a front mouth, a rear door, and an aiming device called Zhaomen and Zhaoxing.
Its gun tube is cylindrical, rolled with refined steel sheets, and fitted by two large and small tubes, "four feet five or six inches long, about four or five catties in weight, the longer the better, the back is on the door, the front is on the star, the fire door is on the side, and there are two or three iron buttons, so that the nails are piggybacked, and there is no vibration when it is placed"; "a piece of steel at the back of the bed, upward, to make a blade"; "The belly is long, if the fire door, and lead, and the cloth paper and other things do not come out when washing, it is easy to open, turn left to enter, turn right to out"; The trigger and rail are made of copper and steel sheets, respectively, and are as thick as copper coins, hidden in the bed; The faucet nose and track are all installed on the gun handle, and a small steel plate of more than 1 inch long is placed close to the starting point to increase the elasticity, so that the bolt can be pinched and fallen, and it will bounce up on its own after shooting, which has good mechanical resilience.
The composition of the Lumi gun also includes a ****** powder canister, a powder canister for the issuance of powder, a slow-burning fire rope for ignition, and a cane. The fire rope is made of four strands of cotton wire, and the gunpowder "uses a pot for each gun, with copper for it, and the upper tube is just filled with a gun, and a piece of copper is used as the door under the neck. "The shape of the medicine jar is like a steamed cake, the mouth is as big as a chopstick, and the mouth is stuffed with wood, and it should be three inches long when it is used, so that it can be seen when it is returned"; "The rod is inserted under the bed of the gun, and it is used to build medicine and send children."
In short, the Lu Mi gun imitated by Zhao Shizhen has a long range, great power, superior shape than the Japanese bird gun, and a lot of progress in structure compared with the bird gun. The body tube is lengthened, the ignition device has also been improved, the faucet gauge is installed in the bed, the buckle gauge faucet falls on the fire door, and after the gunpowder is ignited, it raises itself. There is a steel knife at the foot of the bed, which is reversed, and can be used as a slasher in close combat. Among the more than 10 kinds of arquebuses developed by Zhao Shizhen, such as the Lu Mi gun, the Western gun, the electric switch, the Thunderbolt gun, the three-long gun, the rotary wing tiger gun, and the shock stack gun, the Lu Mi gun was undoubtedly one of the most prominent firearms at that time.
In order to ensure the safety of the goods during transportation, the Zhenwei Dart Bureau in Nanjing was hired to escort them.
Out of Nanjing City, Zhao Guohua and Zhang Shun and more than a dozen dart heads and executioners of the dart bureau, the group set off to Yongxin.
"Brothers, there is a black forest ahead, everyone be on guard." Cheng Chong commanded. The members of the security team were divided into two teams and walked quietly on both sides of the car.
Slowly, the car transporting the goods and the team escorting the car gradually walked into the ambush circle of the bandits in Qinglongzhai.
"Brothers, give me a ......" the second leader bantam tiger Chen Dashan shouted, and the minions with black scarves and masked faces rushed out with knives and guns in their hands, and the four leaders of the mountain tiger, Liu Youtian, also rushed out with another team of minions with blue scarves and masks, and soon the two teams surrounded the escorts of the Mingfeng Village security team and the delivery car.
"Captain, the masked face towels are different, it seems that there are two groups of people, and there are more than 200 people, what should I do?" Team leader Zhao Hu asked nervously.
"Formation! Raise the gun, the muzzle of the gun is pointed at the middle of the bandits. Cheng Chong said calmly.
It was impossible for him not to be nervous when faced with this situation for the first time, after all, he was just an ordinary farmer before.
Looking at the neat gun array of the security team, Liu Youtian, the mountain tiger, was also a little surprised, and was looking at how to rush in, but the bantam tiger Chen Dashan was different, he was just stunned for a moment, and said: "Brothers, these are the goods, a group of mud legs We rushed over and beat them away, these goods are ours...... said, and took the lead in rushing over.
"Step forward with your left foot, press down with a lunge, and stab ...... forward," Cheng Chong commanded loudly.
"Oops, my belly ...... Ah...... My ......" rushed to the first few minions screaming, clutching their stomachs or chests and collapsing.
Liu Youtian, a mountain tiger, couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in his heart: How can these security guards be more difficult to deal with than the officers and soldiers of the guard. With a roll of his eyes, he thought of a solution, and said loudly: "Brothers, each of you grabs a handful of soil, rushes over, first scatters soil to blind their eyes, and then rushes in and breaks through their formation, and we win." ”
