"Dad, you have a lot of ideas, you have to think of a way, we can't watch that Zhao Manzi sit big. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yang Rui said urgently.

After slowly pacing back and forth in the room for a while, Yang Degui said slowly: "With Zhao Manzi's current strength, our family can't fight him, only by finding a few alliances and uniting together can we defeat him." ”

"Alliance? Right! Dad, you're right, I'm going to go to Liu Wanshi's son Liu Ming, Huang Kui's son Huang Zhongming, and Chen Bing's son Chen Youfu, these people were all forced by the joint defense team to pay a large amount of money to enter the city, I don't believe they don't hate that Zhao Manzi......" Yang Rui gritted his teeth and said.

Brushing his beard, Yang Degui nodded approvingly: "Now you have finally opened up." You can find these people, but it's not enough, you have to find some other people, there are many people, the more confident you are to defeat Zhao Manzi, even if you can't destroy him, you have to drive him away, you can't let him mess around like this anymore. Speaking of which, Yang Degui is already hideous.

"Dad, I'll do it, you see......" After speaking, Yang Rui turned around and walked out of the house quickly.

Standing in the courtyard, he counted the gifts he was going to buy when he went to each house, and then went to the tent to get two thousand taels of silver tickets, took three family members, and walked out of the house with a fan.

Due to the large number of applicants, the number of volunteers in the brigade was soon enough.

After the completion of the reorganization of the 5,000-strong volunteer brigade, it was the end of the eighth year of Chongzhen. Zhao Guohua counted on his fingers, and it has been more than two years since he traveled to Daming. In more than two years, he has pulled up a team of 5,000 people, and the speed of development is fast enough, but thinking that in only eight and a half years, Daming will perish, he still feels the urgency of time. So he took Zhang Shun and Sun Fu to Nanjing

When I arrived in Nanjing, I met Bi Maokang and talked about my parting.

"Guohua, how is your security team doing now? Did it go well? Bi Maokang asked with concern.

Zhang Shun listened and said excitedly: "Master, don't you know, now we are no longer called the security team, but renamed the Ji'an Mansion Volunteer Brigade, with a scale of more than 5,000 people!" ”

"Huh? Is this true! Bi Maokang looked at Zhao Guohua in surprise, and Zhao Guohua smiled and nodded.

Bi Maokang looked at Zhao Guohua excitedly and happily, and asked with a smile: "Guohua, you didn't come to Nanjing this time just to see my old man, right?" ”

"Uncle, I came to Nanjing this time, one is to visit your elder, and the other is to buy another 2,000 bars of Lu Mi Gong and 50,000 catties of gunpowder."

"You're going to buy so many guns and gunpowder?" Bi Maokang was taken aback, and he looked at Zhao Guohua with a surprised expression.

Then he asked, "Do you have an official approval from the government?" ”

Zhao Guohua was not angry when he heard Bi Maokang want to approve the document, he knew that this was Bi Maokang's temper; Work conscientiously and adhere to principles

Loyal to his duties, he is a rare good official in the Ming Dynasty, and officials like the Ming Dynasty are rare.

Zhao Guohua happily took out the approval document and handed it to him with both hands.

After carefully reading the approval documents, and then looking at the stamps of Ji'an Mansion and Ji'an Bingbeidao, Bi Maokang no longer had any doubts, and he said to Zhao Guohua: "Guohua, gunpowder is not a big problem, but the number of Lumi guns you want is a bit too much, I'm afraid I can't do it for a while." ”

"Uncle, how long will it take to make these firecrackers?" Zhao Guohua asked.

After doing the math, Bi Maokang said: "It will take two months at the earliest." ”

"Two months at the earliest? It's too slow......" Zhao Guohua asked in disbelief after hearing this. In the arsenal of later generations, 2,000 rifles were made in three days at most.

Looking at Zhao Guohua's surprised appearance, Bi Maokang said helplessly, "Daming can't compare to the overseas Huaxia country you said, in the past two months, it has been the shortest time and the fastest speed to make 2,000 bars." ”

After hearing this and thinking about it, Zhao Guohua said: "Uncle, I want to ask, in Daming, which process is the most labor-intensive to make this Lu Mi Gong?" ”

"Of course, it's a ...... pipe," he said, Bi Maokang said in detail: "The pipe is one foot two or three inches long from the root, all of which need to be generally thick, so that it is appropriate...... When the gun is formed, the lead bullet is tested to the size of the mouth, the mouth is a penny of lead bullet, and the medicine is a penny. The weight of the bullet is based on the bullet dosing score. Be ruthless in battle, the bullet weighs one penny, and the medicine is added in two. The barrel is strong and thick, and it is made of charcoal, that is, it does not hurt to add three medicines. ”

Finally, Bi Maokang explained the process of making the gun pipe to Zhao Guohua in detail.

Bi Maokang's half-literate and half-white narration, Zhao Guohua was dizzy and half-understood, he said: "Uncle, I don't understand what you said, so simply, you take me to the scene of the fire gun production to have a look, maybe I can help you come up with some way." ”

Hearing this, Bi Maokang thought to himself: "Yes, he is from the overseas Huaxia Kingdom, and the Huaxia Kingdom's firecracker making skills are far better than the Daming, maybe he really has a way to improve the speed of the Daming firecracker." So he said: "You come back from overseas, just take a look at my Ming Daming fire gun production technology, if you can come up with a way to improve, it will benefit hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Uncle, let's talk about it later......" Zhao Guohua said.

So Bi Maokang took Zhao Guohua to the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry by car. When they reached a place about twenty steps away from the gate, the two got out of the car and walked towards the gate.

"I've seen Master Bi!" Yang Xiong, the guard officer, trotted over, smiled and bowed to Bi Maokang.

"General Yang is on duty again today, it seems that the old man and General Yang are destined, hahahaha......" Bi Maokang said, laughing.

"Hey, hey, hey......" Yang Xiong also laughed.

Things are divided into groups, and people are gathered by likes. Seeing that the relationship between the two was so close, Zhao Guohua knew that the officer surnamed Yang must also be a soldier who was serious and loyal to his duties, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him, so he also laughed with the two.

Seeing Zhao Guohua standing next to Bi Maokang affectionately, Yang Xiong knew that the relationship between this person and Bi Maokang was not shallow, and he looked at him again, looking at him in his thirties, but he was fair-skinned, calm, and obviously a person with a good heart, so he smiled and bowed to Zhao Guohua, and said to Bi Maokang with a smile: "Master Bi, I don't know who this gentleman is, can you introduce him to his humble position." ”

"Good, good! Come, Guohua, you and Yang Baihu, you two get to know each other, this Yang Baihu is both civil and military, especially the use of fire goodness. Bi Maokang said with a smile.

"In Xia Zhao Guohua, I have seen Yang Baihu......" Zhao Guohua smiled and bowed to Yang Xiong.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao is polite, in Xia Yangxiong, an ordinary officer of 100 households, watching the gate in the Ordnance Bureau...... Hahahaha......" Yang Xiong laughed and bowed to Zhao Guohua.

After some politeness, the two suddenly got a lot closer and felt a little attached to each other.

Smiling, Yang Xiong said to Bi Maokang: "My lord came to the Ordnance Bureau today, but I came to see the firearms craftsmen to build firearms, to be honest, the speed of these firearms is a little slow, but there is no way, it is really not easy to drill the gun." ”

Hearing this, Bi Maokang said: "What you said is indeed right, so I brought Guohua over today to see if he has a way to solve this problem." ”

"Oh? Mr. Zhao is proficient in the production of firearms? Yang Xiong looked Zhao Guohua up and down in surprise and asked.

In his opinion, the production of firearms is an extremely complicated and difficult thing, and non-senior craftsmen can't do it, and Zhao Guohua doesn't look like a craftsman with decades of experience, and listening to the meaning of Bi Maokang's words, Zhao Guohua is very familiar with the process of firearms making, so he looks at Zhao Guohua like that.

With a faint smile, Zhao Guohua said: "I can't talk about being proficient, I just have a little understanding." ”

Bi Maokang said: "Yang Baihu still remembers the handcuff I showed you last time, that's his ......"

"Oops...... Disrespectful! Disrespectful! …… I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to make such a delicate firecracker......" Before Yang Xiong could finish hearing what Mao Kang said, he screamed and bowed to Zhao Guohua for a long time.

Zhao Guohua hurriedly pulled up Yang Xiong's bent body with both hands, his face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "Brother Yang misunderstood, I don't have that much ability, and I brought back that handcuff from overseas Huaxia Kingdom." ”

"Brother Zhao came back from overseas?" Yang Xiong asked curiously, and Zhao Guohua nodded.

Seeing this, Yang Xiong said with a look of hope: "Although I don't know what kind of country Huaxia is from, but from the production level of their handguns, they must be too much stronger than my Daming, Brother Zhao is from there, and he must be well-informed to ask Brother Zhao to help me Daming improve the production level of the firecracker, so that the firearm can truly become a weapon for my Daming to protect the country." After speaking, he solemnly bowed and gave Zhao Guohua a long bow.

"Brother Yang, don't worry, I am also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, I will do my best." Zhao Guohua is colorful.

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband...... The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband......" Bi Maokang listened to it excitedly and recited it twice, and then said: "Guohua, you said these two sentences well, the old man believes in you, and he will not disappoint the old man." After speaking, he walked into the gate of the Ordnance Bureau first, Zhao Guohua nodded to Yang Xiong with a smile, arched his hand again, and walked in.

I entered the Ordnance Bureau and said hello to Wang Gui, the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau. Although Wang Gui is strange that Bi Maokang led an outsider to the Ordnance Bureau today, he is not easy to stop, after all, Bi Maokang is also highly respected in the Ordnance Bureau, and his skills are superb, and the craftsmen admire him very much, and Bi Maokang is almost a responsive existence in the Ordnance Bureau.

Zhao Guohua followed Bi Maokang to the workshop where the firearms were made, and the firearms craftsmen Du Decai, Wei Sanxi, and Yang Hong saw Bi Maokang, hurriedly put down the work in their hands, came to him, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
