Chapter 63: Ginseng Iron

readx;?“ Good Xiaoyun, pretty Xiaoyun, tap and tap, so many people are watching! Li Rumei was in pain, and while speaking, she cast a look at Ziren for help. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ziren also felt that this was really damaging to Li Rumei's masculinity, so he took a few steps forward and stopped in front of the two, and said with a smile: "Future sister-in-law, Brother Rumei has already known his mistake, so let him go first." Otherwise, let outsiders see it, and what they know is that General Li doesn't understand the meaning of the beauty, and those who don't know mistakenly think that your sister-in-law is a tigress, and it's not good to ruin your reputation. ”

As soon as the quilt Ziren said this, Zhou Xiaoyun also felt that this was somewhat inappropriate, let go of Li Rumei's ears, and said angrily: "Sweet and smooth tongue, by the way, your name is Ding Shouming, could it be that you are the future husband of Sister Ruliu?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes~ It's him, Xiaoyun looks at the face of his brother-in-law and Ruliu, just spare me today, I have a step in advance in the camp." Li Rumei rubbed her ears, and after saying a word with a smile, she was ready to apply oil to the soles of her feet.

"Think beautifully!" After Zhou Xiaoyun glared at Li Rumei, he grabbed his arm and took the opportunity to pinch him twice on his waist and eyes.

Then he looked at Ziren carefully, and said slowly: "The mouth is very sweet, and the appearance is not bad, I have to remind my sister later, I must put my future husband in prison, don't let Li Rumei, the bastard brother-in-law, be ruined." After that, he took his family with him, and Li Rumei was "invited" back to the house.

After Zhou Xiaoyun left, Ziren was about to continue to drink with Shen Yourong and others, but at this time, Li Dana leaned over with a sad face, and said anxiously: "Ziren, you are about to think of a way, if the Zhou family takes this opportunity to give their relatives, the young master will have to blame me in the future." ”

"Brother Dana, don't worry, let's have a glass of wine to suppress the shock." Ziren handed over a glass of water and wine, and after seeing Li Dana drink it all, he said casually: "Don't worry about your young master, the Zhou family is also a big family, and the marriage matter can't be played, even if you want to force your young master to get married, you have to wait for General Li to arrive." For example, Brother Mei suffers a little bit of flesh and skin at most, and nothing big can happen. By the way, you said that General Li and Governor Gu are about to arrive, is it true or false. ”

Seeing that the young master was not in danger of being forced to marry in a short time, Li Dana made up his mind, poured himself a drink, and replied: "The document of victory has just been issued, and it will take about ten days for the marshal and Governor Gu to arrive at the earliest. ”

Ziren nodded, and ordered: "The Zhou family doesn't know about this, let them be the two of them today, and you will take someone to the Zhou Mansion tomorrow, under the pretext that the two officials of the marshal and the governor want to praise the people who have made meritorious contributions in this battle in person, and bring Brother Rumei back." His son-in-law has made military exploits, and the Zhou family has no reason to hold people down. The rest of the things are like Brother Mei coming out, let's sum it up. ”

"Okay, just do as you say." Seeing that Ziren had already calculated it, Li Dana replied with a smile. However, he was still concerned about Li Rumei's safety, so he politely refused Ziren's banquet, and immediately took someone to check outside Zhou's mansion, for fear that something would happen to his young master.

After a good show of an ugly girl looking for a husband, everyone reopened.

After Ziren saluted Shen Yourong, he said: "After the general was transferred to Haizhou as a general, you and I haven't seen each other for many days, and I don't know how good it has been recently. ”

Seeing Ziren ask, Shen Yourong slowly put down his chopsticks, and said with embarrassment: "In the past, our firearms battalion was only a thousand people, but now the number of people has increased greatly, and the firearms and ammunition cost a lot of silver, and the ordnance allocated by the imperial court is limited, so life is not easy." Many of these soldiers under my command still use old-fashioned firecrackers made during the Jiajing period, and if they really encounter the Tartars, their combat power is worrying. ”

Seeing that Shen Yourong was embarrassed, Ziren thought for a while and replied: "General, you can rest assured, I will ask Hao Xun to open an ordnance bureau in Changning Fort, with 100 coal stoves and iron furnaces. It won't be long before you can build your own guns, and then give priority to allocating some to the military. At this time, Ziren seemed to remember something, and after a pause, he continued: "Most of the military craftsmen in the north are not as skilled as Jiangnan, and they can only make old-fashioned firecrackers such as the three-eyed gun, and I don't know if there are people under the general who are good at making bird guns. ”

Shen Yourong saw Ziren speak, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, I have a few craftsmen who can make bird guns, and they are responsible for repairing the fire guns in the camp on weekdays, and they will all be allocated to you later." As for the three-eyed gun you made, can you allocate a batch to me first to deal with the emergency? ”

"That's easy to say." Seeing that Shen Yourong agreed to his request, Ziren replied with a smile, then looked at Ding Shoutie and said, "After returning to the camp, immediately draw fifty strokes and eighty percent of the new three-eyed guns from the hands of the soldiers to General Shen." Seeing Shoutie nodding again and again, Ziren turned to Shen Yourong and continued: "After a series of fierce battles, there is no surplus firearm at hand for the time being, you can take these first, and then transfer a hundred brand-new three-eyed guns in two months." As for this bird, it will take time to build, and Shen Junmen will need to wait a little longer. ”

"It's interesting, it's worthy of our firearms battalion, come and toast." Seeing that Ziren was so refreshing, Shen Yourong laughed and raised his wine glass.

After the two of them drank it all, Sainta suddenly put down the pig's trotters, and said with a big oily mouth: "General Ding, the Weining Camp under the rule of my Dongning Wei is the largest iron-making field in Liaodong Town, with an annual output of tens of thousands of catties of iron. It's a great thing to use to make firearms, and if you need to, just ask, and the price is negotiable. ”

Ziren didn't expect that Sainta, who looked like five big and three thick, actually had the brains to do business. If you think about it carefully, the iron ore in Weiningying is famous, and the ore produced by the Nanfen mine has a very low sulfur content. Sulfur will promote the fusion of iron and carbon, making the iron hard and brittle, causing explosion, and it is not easy to remove, which is a major harmful element in ironmaking. I have coveted this place for a long time, but I can't interfere because the people living here are all Jurchens.

Now with the line of Sainta, you can use the **** cannon of Nanfen iron ore in the future. Several iron mines on Dagu Mountain are used to make weapons and armor, and if time and time wait for the continuous production of guns, why worry about big things.

Thinking of this, Ziren laughed and said, "Commander Sai, a word is a certainty." With that, he raised the wine glass in his hand. When they had eaten and drunk, they went back to their camps.

The next day, Li Dana picked up Li Rumei early in the morning according to Ziren's words. Who knew that Zhou Xiaoyun was worried that Li Rumei would run away from marriage again, so she wanted to follow her, but Li Rumei had no choice but to invite Ziren to accompany her.

Seeing Li Rumei's crying and sad face, Ziren had no choice but to go to Hao Jie to take leave, under the pretext that Changning Fort was busy with affairs. After Hao Jie granted leave, Ziren asked Wang Mingqiang, Zhou Daqi and others to stay behind to command their subordinates, and then accompanied Li Rumei and his family back to Liaoyang.

Who would have thought that Miss Li Ruliu, who was very angry yesterday, was waiting for herself in Liaoyang City to sharpen her knife.
