Chapter Eighty-Six: Brothers Reunited
Shouzhou Taishou Mu Youcai, sitting in the Taishou Mansion, was calculating the food support of the Qingfeng Army with Yiying's subordinates in the Mansion, and saw two men in fish scale armor walking into the outside of the Mansion Yamen, and three or four followers behind.
Mu Taishou was furious and slapped in shock: "Bold! This is the Anfeng Governor's Mansion Luzhou Taishou Mansion, without notification, trespassing on the Mansion, can there be Hao Dudu of Anfeng Army in his eyes? Left and right, fight with me and go out. ”
The leader of the group said with a smile on his face: "If you are a Taishou, you don't know your own brother, so you are a Mu Youcai, don't you put you on the charcoal fire and roast you as a stag." ”
Mu Youcai looked fixedly, the two heroic young officers were none other than the brothers from Mu Jiazhai.
The person who spoke was the monkey Zhang Thirty-one, and now he changed his name to Zhang Poyu, and now he is the official of the Qianhu Army in the Qingfeng Army.
The person who stood side by side with him was Liu Si'er, who has now changed his name to Liu Poguo, the garrison of Luzhou, and is responsible for the defense of Luzhou City.
The few people behind him are also brothers from the Mu family, and now they have all made hundreds of households.
"Oops!" Xiucai was overjoyed and greeted him: "What kind of spring breeze has blown a few brothers to me." Hehe! "The joy of reunion after a long absence is beyond words.
Zhang Poyu said: "Shi Taishou wants to escort a group of recruits to Shouzhou, the monkey hasn't seen the boss for almost a month, so he specially asked for this errand, visited the boss, and visited his brother by the way. ”
"Hey! The governor doesn't do his job. Xiucai Mu Youcai said helplessly: "I haven't seen the governor for some time." Not to mention the governor, he wanders around the craftsman's shop all day long, researching some strange and obscene tricks, which is insulting. ”
"Don't talk about that, let my Hun family come and blanch two pots of good wine for our brothers, our brothers, have a good drink!" Mu Youcai has already courted his wife, his brothers are reunited, and he wants to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
"Don't! Other! Other! The monkey Zhang Poyu waved his hand again and again: "I have already drunk twice this month, so let's leave the last one of this month to the boss!" ”
Xiucai Mu Youcai saw that his brother refused to drink at his own wine table, and his mood was a little unhappy: "I still have two more opportunities to drink this month, I will give you my drinking opportunity once for the time being!" ”
"Let's go! Cease! Cease! Luzhou garrison Liu Poguo said: "I have already drunk twice, so let's stay and drink with the boss!" ”
Mu Youcai could only share the monkey once, but he didn't have a chance to give Liu Poguo another chance, so he was very disappointed: "Who are you all drinking with?" Neither was left to drink with his brother twice. ”
Zhang Poyu said: "Who else, of course, that Shi Nai'an is too guarded, so he has to pull our brother and tell him the stories that the boss told us, and he also takes the trouble to remember it with a pen and paper." ”
"Alright! Then let's go to the craftsman's workshop together and find the boss, I don't know if he has the opportunity to drink this month, and whether there is anything left. ”
The brothers hugged each other, dressed in brocade clothes, full of energy, talking and laughing along the way, and went to the craftsman shop to find Hao Shisan, but was told that Hao Shisan's went to Yingshui's edge, and the brothers went straight to Yingshui's edge.
The edge of the Yingshui is more than a mile, surrounded by a large wall several zhang high, surrounded tightly, and you can only see the huge tower, the rising black smoke, the sound of clanging iron, endlessly.
At the gate, a row of heroic soldiers slammed the big axes in their hands into each other with a brush, and scolded loudly: "The military area of the Governor's Mansion is not allowed to enter." ”
Mu Youcai was helpless, begged bitterly, and was not allowed to go, but Luo Ben and Yu Dechen, who were waiting on the side, said a few words, and this group was let in.
But among the hundreds of craftsmen working, several rows of tall waterwheels squeaked and turned on the water, lifting a stone weighing hundreds of catties high, and slamming it on another huge iron plate with a bang.
What about the boss? Where's the boss? The brothers were full of suspicion, but they searched carefully in the crowd.
But suddenly I saw a man clapping his hands excitedly and shouting: "It's done!" It's done! Immediately, there was a boiling sound in the crowd, as if it was even more excited than the New Year.
In fact, Hao Shisan's height is obviously a head taller than everyone else, and it is very eye-catching, and the brothers also saw the big man, but no matter what, they can't believe that it is their boss.
I saw that the boss was wearing the same linen clothes as a craftsman, his body was covered with mud and oil, and there were a few big scratches on his clothes, which was even more embarrassing than ordinary craftsmen, but the voice, not the boss or who?
A thousand households dressed in brocade beside Hao Shisan were Jiao Yu, and Jiao Yu said excitedly: "With this windmill to provide power, the set of armor drawings of the governor is estimated to be able to take shape in three or two days!" ”
"It's just that this blast furnace has not succeeded in making iron!" Hao Shisan shook his head and sighed.
"Du Duxiu has to worry, this matter is not urgent, since we can let the waterwheel make iron, it is not difficult to think about the blast furnace iron, we are repeatedly refining several furnaces of iron ore, maybe there will be success." Jiao Yu comforted.
After a whole month of busyness, Hao Shisan finally built the prototype of the blast furnace, as well as the prototype of hydraulic forging, the only regret is that the barrel of the musket he wants to make cannot be made.
"Subordinate, Luzhou Taishou-"
"Subordinate, thousands of households in the Chinese army-"
"Subordinate, Luzhou garrison-"
"Subordinate, 100 soldiers-"
"Subordinate, auxiliary soldiers, thousands of households-"
……
"See Lord Governor."
Hao 13 looked back and saw seven or eight brothers from Mujiazhai standing behind him, the brothers reunited, plus the windmill made of hydraulic forging, it can be described as double happiness: "Haha, my own brother, don't be polite!" No need to be polite! ”
Hao Shisan wanted to pull the brothers, but when he saw that his hands were full of oil, and the brothers were gorgeously dressed, he was afraid of soiling the brothers' clothes, so he only hammered his fist at the breastplate of Zhang Poyu and others.
"Not bad! Not bad! Hao Shisan praised.
"Shame on my brother!" The monkey Zhang Poyu frowned and said, "We are dressed so gorgeously, but the boss is still this one!" ”
Xiucai, Mu Youcai, etc., are also ashamed.
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! Now that you are too guarded, a thousand households, and a hundred households, this armor is newly created, do you have to cut the armor and make it oily, is it appropriate? Hehe! ”
"Now that the brothers are all gathered, let's go back to the Governor's Mansion and have a few drinks!" Hao 13 said loudly.
"I'm here to find the boss to drink, the monkey has been drinking this month, and there is only this time!" The monkey Zhang Poyu heard that the boss was the east, and he was in the middle of it.
While speaking, Hao Shisan was already surrounded by his brothers, out of the workshop of the craftsman's workshop, and when he heard the discussion of the brothers, he asked Luo Ben and Yu Dechen on the side: "Join the army, I will drink a few times this month!" ”
"The governor has come back from Luzhou, and he hasn't slept once, but he hasn't drunk wine once! The Governor lent Shi Nai'an a chance to drink, and the Governor had two more opportunities to drink. "Yu Dechen and Robben are afraid of being beaten and tell things thoroughly.
"Great, brothers, the boss will entertain you today!"
