Zhao Qing slept very deeply, and when he woke up, he felt dizzy, his nose was itchy, as if something furry was scratching himself, and he subconsciously grabbed it with his hand, and then he heard a whine, and several claw-like things grabbed around his body, Zhao Qing woke up now, looked at it, and found that it was Shirley tossing on himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Don't make a fuss, go down." Zhao chuckled and scolded.

Shirley, who withdrew her tail, barked like a kitten, intimately rubbing her head against Zhao Qing.

After getting rid of Shirley, Zhao Qing got up, stretched comfortably, and when he saw the noon that was already in place, he immediately thought of something, pushed the door out, and came to Chen Taoer's room.

"How is Chen Tao'er's injury?"

As soon as Zhao Qing entered the door, he saw that Chen Taoer's sister-in-law was trying to feed Chen Taoer something with a spoon, and Chen Taoer was still unconscious, but her face looked slightly better.

"I boiled mutton bone soup and fed him a little, but he couldn't drink too much, but he took the medicine, and he still had a fever last night, but it disappeared in the morning, and I don't know when he will wake up." The woman looked a little haggard, with big dark circles under her eyes, obviously she had been taking care of Chen Tao'er since last night, and she hadn't rested until now.

Zhao Qing stepped forward, carefully lifted Chen Tao'er's clothes, lifted the bandage and looked inside.

The wound was a little scabbed, and there were two places where the pus had festered, but fortunately, the inflammation was gone, and Zhao Qing helped Chen Taoer remove the bandage with the help of the woman, and then smeared some wound medicine supplied by Cao Zilin.

This is a formula that Shen Wansan brought from later generations, Zhao Qing checked it, and made sure that it was not those garbage things with lime made by ancient quacks, and after getting the evaluation of this medicine from Cao Zilin, he smeared it on Chen Tao'er with confidence.

"Now that the inflammation is gone, and the wound is scabbing, I believe he will wake up tonight, sister-in-law don't worry."

After changing the bandages, Zhao Qing smelled the rich smell of mutton soup, and his stomach gurgled uncontrollably.

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, then poured a bowl from the casserole covered on the table and handed it to Zhao Qing, saying: "Zhao Gongzi has worked hard, this sheep soup is added with wolfberry cinnabar, which is used to nourish blood, but unfortunately Taozi can't drink much, Zhao Gongzi drink more, don't waste it." ”

Drinking the bowl of mutton soup in one go, Zhao Qing felt hot all over his body, and he had strength in an instant, it was really a great supplement, it seemed that Chen Taoer didn't have to worry about the blood not being able to come back. However, the materials in this Ningjiang Prefecture City are too abundant, and even a group of displaced people can easily obtain such good supplements. No wonder the homeless people outside want to enter the city even if they break their heads.

In fact, Zhao Qing was wrong, although the group of homeless people led by Xiong Ye were very miserable in the wasteland, lacking food and clothing, but thanks to Wansan Qianzhuang, they had a passbook in hand, and the clan's savings were still there, and there was a Wansan Qianzhuang branch in the city, so they could take out some savings. Otherwise, those traders who are as generous as philanthropists on the surface can at most give these homeless people some rotten grain, how could they supply high-end goods such as wolfberry cinnabar for free.

couldn't help but drink another bowl of mutton soup and eat a large cooking cake, Zhao left Chen Taoer's room with a full heart, and met Xiong Ye in the courtyard.

Xiong Ye was talking with a soldier in military armor, this soldier Zhao Qing had never seen, but after Zhao Qing appeared in the courtyard, the eyes of the two instantly focused on him.

"This is Zhao Gongzi?" The soldier had a bushy beard and a stout build, which made him look very rugged.

Zhao Qing and Xiong Ye exchanged glances and said, "It's Zhao Qing below, I don't know what to call this military master." ”

"Haha, I only heard that there are people from Guigumen who came out of the mountain, but I didn't expect it to be so young. However, Zhao Gongzi saved the life of Lord Chai, and he is the benefactor of our border forbidden army. My name is Wei Long, and I am the Liaodong Weapons Supervisor, and I am here to invite Zhao Gongzi to the banquet. Lord Chai has been able to get out of bed, and the City Lord's Mansion is now holding a banquet to celebrate. "Weilong people are tall and very bold.

Zhao Qing looked at this bearded man with a strange expression and said, "Wei Long? Ewei-sama, do you sell spicy noodles? ”

"Spicy strips? What are Spicy Bars? Wei Long touched his head and looked puzzled, obviously not knowing what was wrong with his name.

"No, it's nothing, it's just a kind of wine and food in the Ghost Valley, and I will have the opportunity to make it for Master Wei in the future." Zhao Qing also realized that he was wrong, it was just a coincidence that this surveillance adult collided with a famous brand in later generations, and it seemed that Shen Wansan had not brought spicy noodles to this world.

"Really? Hehe, the food from the Ghost Valley is all high-quality, but I haven't heard of this spicy strip, but it's definitely not far off. Zhao Gongzi is so polite, then I will wait to think of a blessing. Wei Long laughed and took Zhao Qing's politeness seriously.

"Of course." Zhao smiled bitterly, and it was not easy to shirk, and began to think about the production method of spicy noodles.

Xiong Ye was not invited, so only Zhao Qing and Wei Long went out.

Out of the courtyard gate, lightly armed and fast, the two soon came to the city lord's mansion, the gate of the mansion was already crowded, looking at the sedan chairs lined up for hundreds of meters, Zhao Qing knew that martial law had been lifted.

These merchants are an important force in the city, Yang Zaixing can ignore it, offend it, offend, Chai Yi is the envoy of Liaodong Festival, but he can't be rash, taking advantage of this banquet is to release his suspicions with these lords with thousands of dollars. Merchants are now a powerful political force in the Great Zhou.

Looking at the lively scene at the gate of the city lord's mansion, Wei Long snorted angrily with disdain, and took Zhao lightly into the city lord's mansion from the side door, and walked around to a hidden courtyard, walked in, and found that it was a table like a conference table, surrounded by several people, Chai Yiyang Zaixing was impressively in the ranks, and there was an old man in military armor and a middle-aged man in civilian official clothes. A group of military and political bigwigs were concentrated, and it was obvious that this meeting was not of a low level.

"Lord Chai, the last general has brought Zhao Gongzi." Wei Long said respectfully, and then found a seat and sat down.

Although Chai Yi still looked sick, his spirit was much better, and after seeing Zhao Qing, he showed a smile and said, "Zhao Qing, please take a seat." ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little solemn, and Zhao Qing felt uncomfortable, but he still sat down next to Wei Long, he didn't understand why Chai Yi would let people bring him to such a meeting.

"Is this Zhao Qing Zhao Gongzi from Guigu, but I heard that Zhao Qi's youngest son died young, why is he alive now and has become a member of Guigumen, this is really suspicious." The middle-aged man dressed in civil service looked at Zhao Qing with an unkind face, and said with a smile, but the content made Zhao Qing frown.

Zhao Qing didn't argue, just sat expressionlessly. Chai Yi took out the tin foil board containing the medicine from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "There is no problem with his identity, this medicine is called penicillin, and it is only available in Guigu." Han Shi, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Bianjing Palace and ask my father, he still has the medicine packaging that Shen Wansan gave to Sejong back then, which is exactly the same as this, this material is not gold or wood, it does not rot for a hundred years, and it cannot be copied at all. And it did cure me. ”

Ha, is that medicine penicillin, Zhao Qing himself doesn't know, but Chai Yi's defense for himself is very effective, Han Shi snorted and chirped, and finally didn't say anything, on the surface, he recognized Zhao Qing's identity.

"Since there is no doubt about Zhao Gongzi's identity, can the old man ask Zhao Gongzi a question?" The old man in military armor took out a firearm from his bosom and put it on the table, it was the same firearm that Zhao Qing had captured from the Jurchens, and said, "Is this really from the Jurchens?" ”

The old general's eyes were scorching, Zhao Qing nodded firmly, and said, "Indeed, this thing was seized from the hands of the Jurchens, and the Chen clan of Youzhou who traveled with me can testify." ”

As soon as Zhao Qing's words came out, the entire conference room was suddenly quiet and could even be heard when a needle fell to the ground, of course Zhao Qing would not make a big noise, he carefully observed everyone's faces, and found that except for the civil official named Han Shi, everyone's faces were very ugly, especially Wei Long next to him.

"Monitor Wei, this roaring junior is a project that your ordnance supervisor developed only last year, and it wasn't equipped with the forward battalion until three months ago. In the past three months, the forward battalion has no record of fighting with the Jurchens, and there is no record of the disappearance of the Roaring General. Han Shi said in a sloppy manner, and everyone looked at it, hoping to get an explanation.

Wei Long got up with a bang, took a few steps back and knelt on the ground, and said: "The last general checked the number of roaring young generals in the forward camp overnight last night, and there is no difference with the registered record. ”

"Haha, do you want us to know clearly? Isn't that the result that you Weilong is greedy and sells the weapons of this country to foreign barbarians. Do you think that the Jurchens are not strong enough, and the advantages of bows, arrows, and scimitars are not enough to harass my Liaodong army and people? Han Shi's words were heartbroken, and Wei Long's kneeling body trembled, and he didn't dare to defend himself.

"That's enough, the Ordnance Superintendent is only responsible for the research and development and maintenance of firearms, could it be that the Ordnance Superintendent leaked the process diagram of the Roaring Junior to the Jurchens, who can make such fine firearms at the level of those Jurchens? And after inspection, this roaring young general from the Jurchens is obviously over, and it is not in the record. This problem also came out of the military factory of the Daimyofu, and it was possible that some people in the Ministry of Industry and Household Department deliberately changed the number of factories and deducted some firearms to give to the Jurchens. "The old general competed against each other, and while defending Wei Long, he also threw out the pot, which was very level.

"Hmph, Pan Xicheng, don't spew blood! Liaodong Ordnance has always been only an auxiliary transport, which time was not personally handled by your military? It is clear that you will eat the door inside and outside, and help the enemy to fight fiercely! What I'm afraid of is that the sea is clear and the river is clear in this world, and there is no place for you to use martial arts! Han Shi slammed the table and sneered.

As soon as such insulting words came out, it was like igniting a barrel of explosives, Yang Zaixing's personality was hot, and his eyes were about to erupt fire, and he was about to pick up and sit down on the chair and smash it on Han Shi's head.

Pan Xicheng is a lot older, but the mud bodhisattva is still a little angry, not to mention that he, a general who has galloped on the battlefield all his life and has countless grievances in his hands, only suppressed his anger and mocked: "You know whether it is blood or not, and we are not afraid of shadows." For the old man, today's scholars are not as clean as they were when the country was founded, and they have been contaminated with too much filth in the merchants, as long as they can sell for money, they dare to sell it, and they are not afraid of being poked in the backbone by their descendants! ”

"Shut up! Now it's about solving problems, not attacking each other here! Chai Yi finally became angry, and the scene of saber rattling suddenly disappeared, and Pan Xicheng, the respected general of Weibian, did not dare not give face.

"Originally, the Border Guard Forbidden Army was able to compete with hundreds of thousands of troops of various races, relying on the advantage of weapons. We have only captured one roaring junior on the Jurchens, who knows how many of them are in their hands, not to mention that there are many other firearms that have fallen into their hands over the years. Now that the Border Guarding Forbidden Army has little advantage in weapons, this battle is afraid that it will be more than auspicious. Yang Zaixing, who calmed down, analyzed, and everyone present looked solemn, bowed their heads and pondered, each with their own thoughts.

"This roaring young general is so backward, even if it falls into the hands of the Jurchens, it can't make big waves, why are you so nervous." After being silent for a long time, Zhao Qing finally couldn't help but speak.

When this sentence came out, everyone looked at it, especially Wei Long, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head suddenly, and his face was flushed.

"Backward? The roaring young general is the most advanced firearm in the Great Zhou, and the power is amazing, which is enough to turn the tide of the battle, why did Zhao Gongzi say this? Wei Long was the first to ask, the roaring teenager was his hard work, and now that he was so belittled, how could he swallow this breath, even if the two of them were talking happily before, but now they are like enemies.

Everyone else also looked at Zhao Qing, hoping to hear some interesting words from the mouth of this Guigumen.

"The most advanced is for your weapons supervisors, in the Ghost Valley, this kind of firearm has long been eliminated. If what I expected is right, this firearm was taught to the Great Zhou military by Shen Wansan. Zhao Qing lightly picked up the roaring young general from the conference table, and then skillfully disassembled it into parts one by one in front of everyone's eyes.

Wei Long remembered the identity of Zhao Qing's Guigu Sect, this firearm was indeed passed on from Shen Wansan, it was a Guigu master, and his tone calmed down, and said: "It was indeed taught by Wansan Ye, but after two hundred years of development in the Great Zhou Weapons Prison, today's firearms are no longer comparable to the firearms of two hundred years ago." ”

"But gunpowder is still a recipe from 200 years ago, isn't it?" Zhao Qing opened a packet of gunpowder and twisted a handful, "One sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, there has been no flexibility for so long, and this power is not as powerful as the cannon set out by my master." ”

Wei Long was extremely frightened, at this time, the unconfidential transmission of the ordnance supervisor was casually said by Zhao Qing, and he no longer doubted Zhao Qing's understanding of firearms.

"The gunpowder formula is indeed like this, and the Ordnance Supervision still uses the formula at the time of the founding of the country." Wei Long nodded a little ashamedly, his research direction was only in molding appliances, and he had never experimented with changing the ratio of gunpowder.

"Change it in the future, just use the ratio of nitrate fifteen, sulfur two, and carbon three, this is the best black powder ratio, when you use it, you can either temporarily configure it, or use egg whites to gather the powder into granules, so the power is directly doubled, and the storage is much safer than what you are doing now in the wrapping paper." Zhao easily changed the gunpowder ratio that had been used by the Great Zhou for nearly two hundred years, making Deweilong's breathing heavy, this was the secret of the Guigu Valley, and he couldn't wait to leave immediately to do the experiment.

"Let's talk about this firecracker, when I first met Captain Cao, they chased a spy with a team of more than ten horses, but they didn't dare to use it with a roaring young general, if they hadn't met us, that spy would probably have run away. Why do you dare not use this magic weapon, that is, this firearm is too flawed, there is no rifling in the barrel, there is no accurate head when the bullet is fired, it is difficult to hit people ten steps away, it can only kill at close range, and it is impossible to use it immediately, and it is easy to frighten the horses. Besides, this roaring youngster is so troublesome to change ammunition, he can only shoot one shot a minute. I'm afraid that if you want to make good use of this roaring young general, you need to form a military formation, two people with one, one person to change ammunition and one person to shoot, so that the mobility is extremely poor, and there is no threat to the flexible cavalry at all. Da Zhou's most advanced firearms have so many limitations, as a person in the Ghost Valley, I am very disappointed. Zhao laid out the facts, reasoned, and listed the defects of the roaring young generals one by one, and Wei Long, who listened to it, was red for a while, but he couldn't refute it.

All of these things that Zhao Qing said are big problems in the ordnance superintendent, which are limited to the knowledge of the ancients, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.

After listening to Zhao Qing's words, several other bigwigs also nodded one after another, and their previous frizz decreased a lot. After they calmed down, they found that even if these firearms fell into the hands of aliens, they had countless ways to deal with them, after all, they were the army that knew firearms best. Chai Yi, in particular, many of his tactics were developed in combination with the characteristics of firearms, and he did not believe that anyone from other races could have the same insight as him. Moreover, the saltpeter sulfur in the gunpowder composition is not produced in the northern part of Liaodong, as long as the Great Zhou monopolizes these two things, the Jurchen Khitan simply does not have enough gunpowder to fight a hot weapon war with the Great Zhou.

"So, in my opinion, the Great Zhou firearms have reached a point where they must be reformed. And those aliens don't have to worry even if they have some firearms. As long as the firearms of the Great Zhou can develop rapidly and always be ahead of the aliens, then the superiority of the weapons of the Border Forbidden Army will always be maintained. Zhao Qing gushed endlessly, looking around proudly, and his expression was like saying that you beg me quickly, beg me and I will tell you. He already has a bunch of reform plans in his mind, but it is impossible to shake them out in one go, and the people of Guigumen must maintain a sense of mystery.

"It's just that this firearms reform is not effective in the short term, but the Jurchen Khitan army is about to come to the city." Chai Yi sighed and smiled helplessly.

"No, if the new gunpowder formula that Zhao Gongzi said can really multiply the power, then it can be immediately used in artillery ammunition, earth dragon thunder and thunderbolt shells, my Da Zhou's gunpowder has always been used and ready-made, and only a portable firearm like a roaring junior needs to be configured in advance." Wei Long looked a little excited, he knelt down and said to Chai Yi, "The roaring junior general does have many defects, but the main force of my firearms in Da Zhou has always been artillery, earth dragon thunder and thunderbolt bombs, if these can be replaced with new gunpowder formulas before the war, then the combat power of the Weibian Forbidden Army will definitely be doubled!" I beg Shiba-sama to experiment with the new recipe now! ”

Chai Yi quickly figured out the reason, except for the ordnance superintendent, there were few people in Da Zhou who knew firearms better than him, he couldn't help but be happy, and said: "Accurate, go to the test quickly!" ”

Wei Long knelt down and thanked him, quickly got up and left, without taking Zhao Qing with him at all.

Zhao Qing watched Wei Long leave with a confused expression, he found that he had just made a few suggestions, and the follow-up facts didn't have any about him, and he couldn't help but feel crazy. Why don't you ask me how to reform! Why don't you ask me what the rifling is! How can a black powder formula be satisfied, continue to ask me, ask me and I will tell you the secret digestive dry oil of Guigu Kick En Kick Hei Suojin (anti-river crab), the power is not stronger than the garbage of black powder!

It's a pity that the ancients were ignorant and didn't have that kind of vision, and they were very satisfied that they could double the power of the existing gunpowder.

"Lord Chai, I have studied firearms quite deeply, why don't you let me go down to help Lord Wei." Zhao Qing still asked without giving up.

Chai Rong shook his head and said with a smile: "Leave those to Wei Long to do, even if Shen Wansan didn't do everything himself, there will be a banquet in the mansion later, not only to celebrate my recovery from a serious illness, but also to introduce you to you, a Guigumen person." ”

Then Chai Yi announced the dismissal of the meeting with a smile, although the leakage of the roaring junior did not find out the culprit, but after Zhao Qing's words, these bigwigs found that this was really not a big deal.

Pan Xicheng and Han Shi went to the front hall for a banquet side by side like a pair of old friends, and they couldn't see the appearance of the two of them snorting and kicking their faces before.

Zhao Qing felt that his neck was entangled by a strong force, and Yang Zaixing's old face appeared in front of him. He said with a smile: "Hehe, I thought that the people of Guigumen could only treat diseases and do business, but I didn't expect that there would be such advanced firearms technology." That Wei Long, relying on himself to be the boss of the weapons superintendent, has exclusive technology, and he doesn't give anyone face in the army except for Old Man Pan and Brother-in-law Chai, and he has made me angry to death several times, but today I can't lift my head up by your preaching, hahaha, Brother Zhao really gave me a bad breath! ”

It is said that people will hate another person who is very similar to themselves, this Yang Zaixing and Wei Long are both that kind of rough and bold people, and even their bodies are somewhat similar, but they didn't expect their personal relationships to be so poor, and they didn't like each other.

Ambition is difficult to pay, and he has to endure Yang Zaixing's intimate hug, Zhao Qing wanted to cry without tears and walked out. bbe
