After practicing marksmanship on the school field for more than half an hour, Pang Yue felt a fever all over his body, and the original chill was gone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info put down his spear, and he exhaled with joy, and the cheers of the soldiers followed.

It's good to have kung fu! Pang Yue, who had obtained a martial art from his new body, sighed. However, although the martial arts are inherited, the physical strength is one's. After practicing for so long, Pang Yue couldn't help but feel a little tired, and immediately asked the soldiers to continue practicing, while he walked to the tent on the edge of the school field, ready to drink saliva and sit for a while.

In the tent, some soldiers had already prepared hot water and sweat towels. Entering the tent, Pang Yue comfortably buried his whole face in a copper basin filled with hot water, feeling that the warmth was taking away the tiredness little by little.

"Sweat towels!" After enjoying enough, Pang Yue raised his face and stretched out his hand to his side with his eyes closed.

Feeling a sweat towel handed to his hand, Pang Yue didn't think about it, and after taking it, he began to wipe it. After wiping his face, Pang Yue turned around and ordered, "You go ......"

But when he saw the person in front of him clearly, Pang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of warmth came to his heart, as if he had a thousand words to express but didn't know where to speak, and hesitated for a while before he said: "Miss Bing'er, why are you?" ”

That's right, standing in front of Pang Yue's eyes at this moment is the same Liu Bing'er who made him unforgettable. Liu Bing'er didn't seem to have changed, her plain green skirt was replaced by a floral cotton robe, but her slender figure and flower-like delicate appearance were the same as usual.

"Giggles...... Liu Bing'er let out a burst of laughter like silver bells, "Why, the little girl can't come?" ”

Pang Yue coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Come on, come on." I don't know when Miss Bing'er came to Ganzhou? How did you remember to come to this out-of-town schoolyard? ”

"I just arrived this morning," the two dimples on Liu Bing'er's face loomed, "The little woman went to the Yamen of the chief soldier to find Pang Zongbing, but Pang Zongbing was not there, so the little woman had to inquire all the way here." ”

"Oh, that ......" Pang Yue was about to ask Liu Bing'er how things were going, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was too abrupt to ask as soon as they met.

"Alas!" Liu Bing'er sighed lightly and shook her head, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Didn't Mr. Pang just want to ask the little girl if the matter has been done?" Just ask, why are you so spitting, the little woman is not a tiger! ”

Seeing that his mind was once again broken by Liu Bing'er, Pang Yue almost felt a little embarrassed, but he had no choice but to nod with a dry smile: "Then Pang Mou is abrupt, dare to ask Miss Bing'er, has the matter been done?" ”

Listening to Pang Yue's question, Liu Bing'er's eyes flashed with a hint of pride: "Of course the little girl has to do it seriously!" Don't worry, it's all done! However, I put all the things that Mr. Pang asked for in the city inn, and those few Franco mechanics were also waiting at the inn. ”

"Then Pang Mou is here to thank Miss Bing'er!" Pang Yue, who was overjoyed, solemnly hugged Liu Bing'er: "It's almost noon now, and Miss Bing'er has come from afar, so how about letting Pang go back to the city to enjoy the friendship of the landlord?" ”

Liu Bing'er pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm afraid that Mr. Pang is waiting to see those things and can't wait, right?" ”

"Uh...... This one...... Miss Bing'er was too worried. No matter what, you are also a guest, wouldn't it seem rude to Pang to make you hungry? Pang Yue felt a little pressure in front of this girl who could always pierce people's minds.

"Alright! That little woman dared to disturb Pang Zongbing once! ”

"Well, okay, then ask Miss Bing'er to go out and wait for a while, and Pang will be there as soon as he finishes explaining some things."

After Liu Bing'er went out, Pang Yue called Wei Yuan to him.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Pang Yue asked expressionlessly. …,

Wei Yuan seemed to think of something, but he didn't dare to answer, just shook his head: "I don't know." Please show me so. ”

"Hehe, that's weird!" Pang Yue's face became gloomy after sneering a few times, "A pro-soldier captain, can you actually let an outsider come to the boss quietly, is this what you should do?" ”

"I was watching from the sidelines, what could go wrong?" Wei Yuan carefully argued, "Besides, then Miss Liu and the adults are ......."

"Alright, shut up!" Pang Yue was afraid that Wei Yuan would say something that shouldn't be said again, so he hurriedly shouted, "If you are a first-time offender, I won't punish you heavily." Give me back the bonus you got last time! If there's a next time, you'll just get out! ”

"Huh? My lord! This ......"

"Huh?"

"Humble ...... Yes, sir! ”

After returning to the city, Pang Yue immediately sent someone to the inn to move all the things that Liu Bing'er brought him to the Yamen of the General Army, and the three Taixi technicians were also invited over.

When Liu Bing'er and the technicians were drinking tea in the living room, in the backyard of the chief soldier's yamen, Pang Yue asked someone to open the pile of big boxes with great anticipation.

As soon as the lid of the box was lifted, Pang Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, it was exactly what he wanted! There are nearly 100 mechanical clocks of all kinds. Although these mechanical clocks were a bit bulky, even more than the household wall clocks of later generations, and the dials were relatively simple, not the lighter and more accurate pocket watches he wanted, he was still excited about this kind of timekeeping tool that was more advanced than sundials and hourglasses, rain or shine, day and night. You must know that accurate timing tools are particularly important for any army, especially when the troops are divided into multiple ways and act at the same time, and the cooperation between various departments needs to be based on accurate time.

The contents of the other two large boxes made Pang Yue feel a little excited. Open the lid of the box and remove a layer of straw on it, revealing the true face of Lushan what he had been waiting for for a long time, that is-flintlock pistol!

Haha, friend, it's not easy to meet you! Picking up a flintlock pistol and feeling the unique coldness of the metal on the gun, Pang Yue smiled in his heart. He knew that this flintlock pistol was invented by the Frenchman Mahan, who canceled the fire rope and used a percussive flintlock mechanism for ignition, which was much stronger than the arquebus ignition bird gun in terms of rate of fire, shooting accuracy and adaptation to the weather. Holding the flintlock pistol in his hand, Pang Yue carefully looked at the various details on it, and saw that the gun was about one meter four or five long, slightly heavier than a bird's gun, and there were all kinds of flint, hammers, fire doors and other parts, and it already had the prototype of a modern rifle. In order to test the effect, Pang Yue also asked people to erect a target in the backyard and personally test fired a few shots, and the results showed that the rate of fire and power of this musket had indeed surpassed the bird gun that the Ganzhou array was equipping, and it was also superior in range.

The only flaw is that the number is a bit small, only twenty. Moreover, on the way back to the city, Pang Yue also heard Liu Bing'er say that she had spent a lot of effort to buy these twenty flintlock pistols. However, even so, Pang Yue is still full of hope for the development of firearms in Ganzhou Town. Because he firmly believed that the craftsmen of China were absolutely not inferior to the Westerners in wisdom, especially under the encouragement of the various policies he proposed, the production enthusiasm of the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau had reached a new height, and now with a sample for reference, they would definitely succeed in imitating similar flintlock pistols, and even better.

After letting people put things away, Pang Yue met the three furlong machines with a spring breeze on his face...... Oh no, three Spanish technicians to be exact. The oldest of them was about fifty years old, with a big beard and kind eyes. This person's name is Carlos, and his profession surprised Pang Yue even more, he was actually a watchmaker. Carlos has been in Daming for many years, and has been begging for a living in Macau, and has been able to speak Chinese that the people of Daming can understand, but because of his honest nature, he is often ostracized by his employers and peers, and he is depressed. This time, he heard that there was a general in the mainland who was willing to hire all kinds of technicians with high salaries, so he naturally rushed over without saying a word. …,

The other two Spaniards, one named Margio and the other Pablo. Margio is a muscular man in his early thirties, a height of more than 1.8 meters, with long blond Beatles-like hair and a shaved chin, which is somewhat similar to Wallace, the protagonist of "Braveheart". According to himself, he was an honorable artillery officer and mastered artillery casting, but for some reason (for what reason he would not say) he left the army and followed a fleet to the East to prepare for his new life. Pablo was thinner, about forty years old, with a mustache and unkempt hair, but there was a shrewdness in his eyes. According to Carlos, Pablo and he are fellow villagers, a firearms craftsman who is familiar with the flintlock pistol making process, came to Daming a year ago, and this time he saw that he came to Ganzhou to apply for a job, and he also decided to try his luck with him. However, both Margio and Pablo had just arrived in Daming, and they were not very proficient in Chinese, and in most cases they needed Carlos to translate.

At noon, Pang Yue held a banquet in one of the best restaurants in Ganzhou to entertain Liu Bing'er, Carlos and others.

"Gentlemen, welcome to Daming and Ganzhou to work." At the wine table, Pang Yue said enthusiastically, "I guarantee with my personal personality that your efforts will be rewarded in the best." ”

"Thank you for your hospitality, my general." Carlos's face was full of emotion, "Originally, I was already disheartened and ready to end my trip to the East, so I returned home empty-handed, and it was your call that rekindled the hope in my heart." In order not to go back to endure the ridicule of my neighbors with regret in the future, and for the sake of your generosity, I will definitely work well for the general. ”

Then Margio and Pablo muttered a lot. Pang Yue had never learned Spanish in his previous life, so naturally he couldn't understand it, so he had to turn his attention to Carlos.

Facing Pang Yue's gaze, Carlos coughed awkwardly and said, "General, it's like this. They say that as long as you are paid a reasonable salary, they will naturally be the best officers, the best technicians. Of course, I'm just paraphrasing what they say, and it doesn't mean me. ”

Pang Yue laughed and said: "Mr. Carlos, don't be polite, you have come to Daming thousands of miles to come to Ganzhou to work for me, how can I be stingy in terms of salary?" It won't be long before you know that there is a fair reward system in my army, and if you work hard, you will not only be paid well, but you will also be rewarded for your outstanding performance. ”

"Thank you again for your generosity, my general!" "In return, we won't let you down." ”

"I believe in you, Mr. Carlos." Pang Yue smiled and raised his glass, "Come, for our future cooperation and friendship between us, cheers!" ”

"Cheers!"

Four wine glasses meet in the air with a crisp and harmonious collision sound.
