Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, and played with Zhang Yunniang's little tender pigeon and said, "Yunniang, you are not even seventeen this year, right?" The birthday is small. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWe'll have a long time to come. And why rush to this moment? ”

In this day and age, women are at great risk of giving birth.

Especially like Zhang Yunniang, not only is she young, but her body is too thin, after all, there is no safer caesarean section at this time, in case of dystocia, the consequences are unimaginable.

Li Yuanqing means that he wants to wait for Zhang Yunniang to be a little bigger, her body will fully grow, and then she will be much safer to give birth to the next generation.

"Brother, you, do you dislike Yun Niang?" Zhang Yunniang's small body trembled slightly, tears flowed out, and her heart palpitations were distressing.

Li Yuanqing suddenly realized that this was the end of the Ming Dynasty, not the future generations, although Li Yuanqing and Zhang Yunniang were husband and wife, but the two did not get married, how could this give Zhang Yunniang enough security?

"Yun Niang, what are you thinking in your little brain? You're my brother's baby. How can my brother be willing to leave you alone? Li Yuanqing hugged Zhang Yunniang in his arms, patted her back gently, and used body language to reassure Zhang Yunniang.

"Brother, Yun Niang, Yun Niang is not small. Yun Niang really wants to give birth to a baby for her brother. Zhang Yunniang threw herself into Li Yuanqing's arms hard, like a frightened bird.

Li Yuanqing suddenly realized that the thinking of future generations may not necessarily work in this era, and children are no less important to women than their lives.

Li Yuanqing was suddenly relieved, this is not the afterlife, there are not so many rules and regulations, as long as you can afford it, it will be beneficial and harmless.

It's better to say it 10,000 times than to do it once.

"Yun Niang, you want to have a child, in fact, my brother also wants to, it's just that we can't just talk about it." Li Yuanqing smiled and hugged Zhang Yunniang's slender waist.

Although Zhang Yunniang is young, she doesn't understand what Li Yuanqing means, her pretty face is oozing water, and she is red and seductive, "Brother, the slave family is here to serve you......"

…………

When he woke up, Li Yuanqing only felt refreshed.

This kind of high-intensity battlefield life is like being on a crater all the time, and women are the best way to reconcile.

This also made Li Yuanqing realize a very serious problem.

If you want your subordinates to die for him, women are the best way to get around.

At this time, Li Yuanqing lacks everything, but there is no shortage of women, so that the sons and daughters under his command can form a family, and the sense of responsibility of the family can also prompt them to mature faster, and Changsheng Island will also need more and stronger fresh blood in the future, which can be described as beneficial and harmless.

Their fathers worked for Li Yuanqing, and they naturally worked for Li Yuanqing and his descendants.

It's just that at this time, Changsheng Island is still in the process of construction, and there are not enough houses and infrastructure in Guanglu Island, and in addition, there are too many aspects involved in this kind of thing, and if you are not careful, it will inevitably cause unnecessary turmoil, and Li Yuanqing can only think about it carefully, and then make a decision after being cautious.

At this time, most of Li Yuanqing's headquarters stayed on Changsheng Island, and the old camp on Guanglu Island was mostly old and weak, women and children, and there was not much military affairs, but the most important blacksmith shop was still here.

After having breakfast with a few women, Li Yuanqing went directly to the blacksmith shop on the hillside behind the camp.

After not returning for many days, the blacksmith's shop had changed its appearance, stretching from the bottom of the hill to the halfway slope, more than a mile, as if it had formed a small village.

Although the buildings are made of wood and bamboo, they appear to be very simple, but the rush of people and the smoke that rises from time to time show that the place is full of life.

Li Yuanqing returned to Guanglu Island without much fanfare, except for a few women in the family, and some of the guards and soldiers knew.

Li Yuanqing also wanted to see what kind of work was going on in the blacksmith shop now, so he didn't rush to make a private visit.

According to Li Yuanqing's previous order, the defense of the blacksmith shop, second only to Li Yuanqing's family, was the top priority of the defense of the old camp in Guangludao.

When I came to the bottom of the hillside, I saw that at the entrance, there were more than a dozen soldiers patrolling back and forth, with solemn expressions, meticulous, strictly maintaining the distance between the blacksmith shop and the old camp, and no one dared to take it lightly.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but nodded slightly.

The emerging military power, in this respect, is indeed more upward than the old military system.

The main thing is that these soldiers have endured hardships and will cherish their current life even more.

If anyone dares to neglect their duties, they will not only be punished by military discipline, but they will even be directly expelled from the ranks.

Above the Liaohai, if that person was expelled by Li Yuanqing, I am afraid that no one would dare to accept them anymore, and they would have no other choice but to starve to death.

Fortunately, these soldiers brought out by Li Yuanqing did not disappoint him for the time being.

Li Yuanqing was alone, and he slowly reached the entrance, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the soldiers.

"Stop. What for? This is a confidential place, and people are not allowed to enter or leave. ”

The leader of the small flag strode out and blocked in front of Li Yuanqing.

At this time, Li Yuanqing was wearing a thick rabbit skin hat, only showing two eyes, and this small flag was not recognized at a glance.

But as soon as he walked in front of Li Yuanqing, he suddenly became clever.

The main reason is that Li Yuanqing is tall, and in the previous exercises, he has always been on the front line, getting along with all the soldiers day and night, and no soldier does not know his own commander.

Seeing that this little flag was about to kneel down and salute, Li Yuanqing hurriedly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "I am a private visit to Weifu, don't alarm others." ”

The little flag was excited and excited, "My lord, the little one will lead the way for you." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "I naturally have to take the lead in abiding by the rules I have formulated." You don't have to be busy, tell the soldiers, I'm a coolie looking for work. ”

Xiaoqi couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, coolies can't enter it if they are looking for work." It must be personally selected by Master Xu and Old Man Yang after review. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be speechless, so he had to say, "Okay." You take me in. In a hurry, only this once, not as an example. ”

"Yes."

With the help of this small flag on duty, Li Yuanqing successfully entered the blacksmith shop.

At the foot of the hill of the blacksmith shop, there are some warehouses and people, some of them are drying firewood, and some are pushing wheelbarrows, transporting firewood to the mountain, everything is in order.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, many people showed a look of vigilance, after all, it is impossible for a figure like Li Yuanqing and this kind of dress not to attract attention.

After a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a craftsman walked up quickly, "This brother, this is a confidential place, idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter, otherwise, they will be punished by military discipline." ”

At this point, Li Yuanqing couldn't take it anymore, and said with a smile: "You go and call Xu Liang and Old Man Yang, and I'll wait for them here." ”

"This?" The middle-aged craftsman was stunned, obviously not wanting to carry out Li Yuanqing's order.

Li Yuanqing is very familiar with the soldiers, but he still has too little contact with the craftsmen.

Li Yuanqing had no choice but to show his waist card to the middle-aged craftsman.

The middle-aged craftsman was frightened and frightened, so he wanted to kowtow.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not guilty." Go ahead. Call both Xu Liang and Old Man Yang over. I have something to ask them for. ”

"Yes. My lord. How dare the middle-aged craftsman slack off, and hurriedly trotted towards the mountain.

Not long after, Xu Liang and Old Man Yang hurried down from the mountain, they were still wearing 'work clothes', all of which were very shabby torn cotton jackets, and hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing, "I don't know if the adults are coming, I miss the welcome, and I ask the adults to atone for their sins." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand, "Let's all get up." He who does not know is not guilty. Brother Xu, Mr. Yang, how is your work lately? Is the making of the bird gun still going well? ”

Li Yuanqing said as he walked up the hillside.

Xu Liang and Old Man Yang hurriedly followed behind Li Yuanqing.

Old Man Yang explained: "My lord, the production of the bird gun is quite smooth. According to the current scale, the entire blacksmith shop can make about 120 qualified bird guns in a month. My lord, the main reason is that we are extremely short of raw materials, whether it is iron or coal, we are very short, but there is no shortage of manpower. But that's how fast it can be. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

Liaohai materials are scarce, before, most of the things had to be purchased from Liaodi, but at this time, Houjin occupied the whole Liao, Guangludao side, so they could only buy the necessary materials from Denglai and Chao ~ Xian.

This time, both manpower and cost are much higher.

"I will find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible. Two, how many made bird guns are there? Let's take a look. ”

Xu Liang hurriedly said, "My lord, please come here." ”

Soon, the three of them came to a flat area in the middle of the hillside.

Several rows of bungalows were built to the east, and more than a dozen soldiers were patrolling back and forth.

Li Yuanqing had already taken off the cover on his face, and when these soldiers saw Li Yuanqing coming, they hurriedly kowtowed and saluted, and they were extremely excited.

Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand to them, "The sons and daughters have worked hard. Today, even if I come here, at noon, we will have a good meal together. I'm in for a treat. ”

These soldiers couldn't help but be overjoyed, knelt down one by one, and kowtowed.

Li Yuanqing smiled and asked them to take their places, and together with Xu Liang and Old Man Yang, they came to the warehouse where the bird guns were stored.

The warehouse is not large, only a hundred square meters, surrounded by wooden shelves, one by one, wrapped in fine oil paper, stacked neatly.

Li Yuanqing casually took a rod, peeled off the oiled paper, and observed it carefully.

This bird gun is not much different from the two rods that Xu Liang brought to Changsheng Island before, but it is more refined, and it has been carefully polished at a glance.

Li Yuanqing put his finger into the barrel and probed carefully, the surroundings were extremely smooth, although it was not comparable to the level of machinery in later generations, but in this era, in terms of pure artificiality, the quality was already quite high.

At the end of the butt, there are also two small names engraved on each side, and there are two distinctive small red marks underneath.

Li Yuanqing looked at it carefully, one was Xu Liang's name, and the other was Yang Peifu, the name of Old Man Yang, and the red seal should be the representative symbol of the two of them, just like the treasure seal of the literati.

Li Yuanqing opened the fire door, and although it was wiped clean, there was a strong smell of gunpowder, which was obviously test-fired.

"Brother Xu, do you dare to try it for me again?" Li Yuanqing looked at Xu Liang with a smile.

Weapons are the lives of the soldiers, and they are also the most fundamental foundation of Li Yuanqing, even if Li Yuanqing can't find any mistakes in all the processes, but Li Yuanqing still doesn't dare to be careless about the final effect.

Before he woke up this morning, the boat was called by his relatives to drink, and he went from nine o'clock until eight o'clock in the evening......

My brain is still groggy now......

The Chinese New Year is the most tragic of this, and the most critical thing is that the boat is not very drunk.

However, the boat is in a good mood today and should be able to keep it up for a while.

At the end of the month, it's time for the boat to work hard, and from tomorrow onwards, I will try to keep it in a state of 3 shifts, kneeling and begging for all support.
