After serving as the envoy of Yunchuan Jiedu, Wu Shaogang's power is indeed very great, but he also knows that the disadvantages will inevitably appear, that is, the relationship between him and the imperial court has become like fire and water.

There are also two Huai envoys, Lu Wende, and the relationship between Wu Shaogang is also needle-pointed, as long as there is an opportunity, he will definitely calculate him.

Wu Shaogang was a little annoyed, he was careful enough, paying attention to coordinating all aspects of the relationship, and never thought of influencing Jia Yidao and Lu Wende and others, not to threaten their power, after all, when the power was not strong enough, it was still necessary for Taoguang to cultivate obscurity, but all this was done to inadvertently offend people.

Since things have come to this point, then deal with it seriously, there is nothing to be afraid of, many times the more careful and scared you are, the more people want to bully you, if you are unprecedentedly tough, the other party will regress.

Of course, Wu Shaogang also thought of a lot of ways, and he would not be blindly tough, such as talking about the matter of Wuliang Hetai, as well as the truth of the battle of Ezhou that year, etc., he has evidence, and Hao Jing and others around him are clear about these matters, and when the time comes, stand up and speak, even if Jia seems to be in favor of the government and the opposition, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain these things clearly.

If you grasp the handle of Jia Rudao, you are not afraid of his calculations.

Therefore, the balance in a short period of time can still be maintained, but the time cannot be too long, that is to say, Wu Shaogang must be prepared all the time, and I am afraid that he will completely turn his face with Jia Yidao.

It's not terrible to turn your face, what I'm afraid of is that Jia Rudao will make a fuss about Li Tingzhi and others, and what's even worse is that Wu Shaogang's parents are in Luzhou, and it is unlikely that he will move to Chengdu, Sichuan in a short time.

However, before the real start, all the family members have to come to Sichuan, so Wu Shao may have no distractions just now, and it is possible to make great strides towards the goal he has set.

Under such circumstances, Wu Shaogang was most concerned about the development of artillery.

Sure enough, it was not as simple as he thought, it had been more than half a year since the artillery was developed, but the real finished product had not yet appeared, and the amount of money spent was incalculable, and even Cao Wengang, who was in charge of this matter, pleaded guilty several times.

Wu Shaogang doesn't care, he believes that every failure is the foundation for the next success.

Guo Shoujing and others participated in the calculation of artillery data, so that the progress was greatly improved, into the second half of the time, the prototype of the artillery has been basically determined, but in the thickness of the gun chamber, and the accuracy of the door, there are still some problems, boiled down to the distance of the shell fire, and the bearing capacity of the gun chamber.

In these aspects, what Wu Shaogang can provide, that is, theoretical knowledge, or give appropriate reminders, after all, he does not know how to make artillery, even when he was a special forces instructor in his previous life, he has never seen how cannons are produced, and even if he knows, in the face of today's situation, it is useless.

Wu Shaogang's encouragement to Cao Wengang stimulated his fighting spirit.

Cao Wengang is also a scholar, and he still has the elegant demeanor of a scholar, but after being in charge of artillery production, his elegance has long disappeared without a trace, and he has been mixed with many craftsmen for a long time, and unconsciously began to speak loudly and reprimand loudly, and many times even lifted things and assembled parts by himself.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the officials of the yamen, including the festival, have rested.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, Chengdu Fucheng is already lively, and the people who have finally calmed down are easy to be satisfied, so as to avoid the disaster of war, they want to spend every Spring Festival well.

The streets and alleys are bustling, after Li Hanwei and others wander on the street, they will always talk to Wu Shaogang about the excitement on the street when they go home, Wu Shaogang stayed at home this Spring Festival, Li Hanwei and others are also very happy, several Spring Festivals, Wu Shaogang is not at home, which makes Li Hanwei and others very disappointed, this Spring Festival, it seems that Wu Shaogang will not go out.

When the sound of galloping horses' hooves appeared, the sergeant at the door of the mansion unconsciously clenched the steel knife and spear in his hand.

Riding a horse came Cao Wengang with a look of ecstasy on his face.

Of course, the sergeant knew Cao Wengang.

A sergeant quickly turned around and entered the mansion to report the news, and another sergeant stepped forward to help Cao Wengang, who had already dismounted, to hold the reins of the war horse.

Cao Wengang smiled and patted the sergeant on the shoulder, flattering the sergeant.

Who doesn't know what the relationship between Cao Wengang and adults is, you must know that Wu Shaolan is a frequent visitor to the mansion, and there is no need to report when entering and leaving the mansion, and entering the backyard is also casual.

When Cao Wengang entered the mansion, Wu Shaogang, who had been informed, also came to the front yard.

"My lord, artillery and artillery have been successfully developed, and the firing range can reach five miles...

Cao Wengang, who was in a hurry, had not finished speaking, and a fog appeared in his eyes.

Wu Shaogang, who has always been calm, was stunned for a moment, quickly went up to the thousand, and grabbed Cao Wengang's shoulders with both hands.

"Is what you're saying true?"

"The subordinates will never dare to deceive the adults, and they will prepare to test-fire the shells tomorrow, and the subordinates will come to report today, and ask the adults to go to the venue tomorrow to check the situation of the test-fired shells."

"Don't wait for tomorrow, let's go today, right away."

Cao Wengang didn't have time to rest, didn't have time to breathe, turned around and followed Wu Shaogang on his horse, heading towards the outside of the city.

The Chengdu Arms Bureau was ten miles away from the city, and the five miles radius was heavily guarded, and on the day the Arms Bureau was established, all the people around it were relocated, and of course they left with sufficient compensation from the government.

The Imperial Army of Hezhou dispatched 2,000 sergeants to guard this place, and did not allow any unrelated people to approach, except for the officials in charge of the affairs of the Arms Bureau, anyone else entering and leaving must obtain the approval of the Yamen, otherwise no matter what your identity is, you will not be able to enter.

When entering the gate of the Arms Bureau, the excited Wu Shaogang almost forgot to dismount.

This is the rule that Wu Shaogang himself has determined, anyone who enters the Arms Bureau must dismount outside the gate, and horses are not allowed to ride in the Arms Bureau, and they must walk.

When he was about to dismount, Cao Wengang, who was beside him, spoke.

"My lord, just ride in and see."

Wu Shaogang shook his head, dismounted decisively, and handed the reins to the sergeant who stepped forward.

"The rules are the rules, since they have been set, no one can violate them, and I can't be an exception, you remember, in the future, you must remind me in these aspects, your actions today are not good, let me break the rules, what is the need for the rules, I can break the rules, you, and many others, can break the rules, I break the rules, I can't be punished, others break the rules, what qualifications do I have to punish."

While nodding, Cao Wengang, whose expression became solemn, did not speak, he had been by Wu Shaogang's side for a year, and he deeply understood the meaning of the word rules, the governments at all levels in Sichuan and Yunnan, as well as many armies, are all in accordance with the rules and regulations, and do things according to the requirements, no one exceeds the rules, this is probably because Wu Shaogang himself strictly abides by the rules, never violates, up and down, think about the adults can follow the rules, and others can not abide by the rules.

Entering the Arms Bureau, Wu Shaogang's footsteps were very fast, heading towards the open space to the south.

I've been here many times and I'm already familiar with everything here.

In the middle of the clearing, a polished artillery stands, so conspicuous in the middle of the clearing.

Wu Shaogang stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the cold cannon body.

Cao Wengang, who was following behind him, did not speak, did not introduce the situation, but watched silently, he knew very well that in the production of artillery, Wu Shaogang poured a lot of effort, he was responsible for doing specific things, immersed in it, there was not much feeling, but looking forward to the early success of the artillery Wu Shaogang, after a lot of suffering, but also to give them encouragement, this is indeed not simple.

"Zong Yuan, talk about the performance of artillery."

"Yes, my lord, since March 15, the development of the artillery has been a total of 279 days, the development of the artillery has gone through four stages, the main task of the first stage is to complete the prototype of the artillery, which lasted for 80 days, the second stage is to improve the thickness of the gun chamber and the number of pressures, the time has lasted 255 days, the third stage is to complete the calculation and development of the door and the door, this process has lasted 192 days, the fourth stage is the comprehensive assembly stage, this process has lasted 78 days, According to the requirements of adults, each stage was almost completed independently, so by the time of the final assembly, it was only twenty-seven years old. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Wengang took a slight breath.

"The thickness of the cannon chamber is ten centimeters, the length is three meters, the caliber of the barrel is thirteen centimeters, the total weight of the gun body and the gun carriage is 1,800 kilograms, and the design of the door and the door guard is calculated according to the mathematical principles provided by Guo Shoujing.

When Cao Wengang introduced the situation, Wu Shaogang's eyes had become deep, and he knew all these situations.

Wu Shaogang remembered the Hongyi cannon, which was the artillery that only appeared in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and its power was undoubtedly shown in the war.

It is conceivable that once the powerful artillery is put into battle, no matter how brave the army is, when facing the artillery, it will lose its armor and cry wolf.

The advent of artillery means that the dawn is beginning to really appear.

The appearance of artillery means that Wu Shaogang has truly advanced history. (To be continued.) )
