Seeing that Shi Lei couldn't put down this thing in his hand, the three craftsmen glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, this is something that was built according to your requirements, and several of us have tried it a few times, and found that this thing, after being stamped, is more powerful than the original, as long as it explodes, within ten steps, no one will survive, even if they are wearing armor, they will be seriously injured." Blacksmith Kong said with a smile.

Thinking of the things that these people made according to their own words for the first time, Shi Lei sighed, it was simply an oversized artillery battle, a black iron pipe, although because there was enough gunpowder, it sounded quite loud, but it was only split into three petals, let alone blowing people, even ants couldn't be killed.

Later, under the guidance of Shi Lei, after several restructurings, such a thing was made, originally, Shi Lei did not plan to make this grenade out of steel, but to the same as later generations, the lower half of the wood is made of wood, and the upper half is made of steel, but what I didn't expect was that because the wood and steel were indistinguishable from the butt, they could not be made, so they had to give up.

At first, he was going to use a wooden handle, but he found that the lethality of wood was really low, and in the end he could only choose to use all the fragile pig iron to cast, sure enough, now it seems that the effect is very good, except for the need for ignition, the others are almost the same as the grenades of later generations.

What made Shi Lei feel most fortunate was that Craftsman Feng was able to successfully make this grenade with the granular gunpowder he provided. In this era, people's understanding of gunpowder is still stuck in the more delicate the better, the first in the Ming Dynasty, because there are too many impurities, so if you want to make it more powerful, you can only let it burn fully, how can it be fully burned, can only be ground as fine as possible.

Feng craftsman's father inadvertently found that the gunpowder is not as fine as possible, thus leaving the particles**, although this is just a very ordinary thing in later generations, but in this era, it is a top-secret formula, not only that, Shi Lei also asked Feng craftsmen to carve and grind the original particles of gunpowder of different sizes into shapes of similar sizes, so that the gunpowder is fully burned, and the power is even greater, and it can easily break the iron-clad grenade, causing great damage.

"Okay, good, good, with this sharp weapon, we have a killer weapon, no matter who dares to hit our main one in the future, we must consider three points, okay, the official is here to thank the three, Tie Xiong, say it to Lao Jia, just say it to the official, tomorrow to the three old people each ten taels of silver, so as to thank the three old people for their great contribution to us." The ecstatic Shi Lei said happily.

"Ah, no, no, adults must not, adults can not dislike us are homeless homeless, not only give us food, recruit us to work, and even heard that adults want to give me equal land, so gracious, I can't repay one of them even if I die, just for adults to do such a little thing, how can we receive the reward of adults?" Hearing Shi Lei's words, the three craftsmen immediately said excitedly, and with a determined expression.

"Ah, hey, forget it, you are trying to harm the official in injustice, since you don't want to ask for money, but the official can't help but reward, so let's do it, the official asked people to find you a few houses in the city, how about you move into the city to live, although a simple thatched hut has been built outside the city now, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, besides, the official will have to rely on the craftsmanship of a few of you in the future, you don't want to reward silver today, so if the official is looking for a few in the future?" Seeing the determined expressions of several people, Shi Lei couldn't help but say.

As soon as Shi Lei's words were finished, the three of them immediately glanced at each other, and finally said, "Since this is the case, then, that, the old people will have the cheekiness to receive it, I just hope that if the adults have something to tell in the future, don't forget to wait for us." ”

Just as Shi Lei was discussing things with a few craftsmen, he saw Tie Xiong suddenly walk up to him and whispered, "My lord, Lord Jia sent someone to report that someone is coming over there." ”

"Well, okay, I've been waiting for so long, I didn't expect them to come, okay, let's go back now, we want to see what they want to do, by the way, do you know who the person who came?" Shi Lei asked.

Seeing the iron bear shaking his head, Shi Lei couldn't help but shake his head, thinking in his heart that for such a small person as himself, the one who came to the army would definitely not be a big person.

Just when Shi Lei hurriedly rushed from outside the city to the city, Niu Dilu, who was originally the central figure of the matter, was sleeping heavily at this time.

At that time, after Niu Lugang was captured, especially after Wei Changqing and Pan Wuxing were killed, he was terrified to the extreme, for fear that Shi Lei would also cut him directly.

It's just that as time passed, Shi Lei didn't kill him, and he slowly stopped being so afraid, but because the matter was unclear, he was always worried, but he never thought that Shi Lei not only didn't kill him, but also sent him a few so-called guards, although they were nominally supervising him, but in fact they accompanied him to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and the most important thing was that these guards were all read.

Of course, the knowledge must be far from the Lu of the ox who lifted the son of a man, but he can't stand these people who are good at patting on the back, so, the Lu of the cow is not only worry-free in life, but also lives an unusually leisurely life, every day the delicacies of the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies, the song and dance of the warbler at night, the dance and music continue, so that the Niu Lu, who has never lived such a life, has long forgotten that he is a prisoner of others, and has forgotten everything about the army, and only hopes that this life can go on for a long time.

Walking to the gate of the county office, Shi Lei saw a team of neatly dressed soldiers standing there, judging from the fierce eyes and the murderous look exuding from the body, these are definitely veterans of the battlefield, seeing these veterans, Shi Lei's heart suddenly froze, and secretly thought, could it be that there is really a big man, otherwise how could there be these elite soldiers to accompany him.

Under the fierce gaze of these people, Shi Lei walked into the county government without feeling, leaving Tie Xiong and a group of people to confront each other.

Walking into the lobby, Shi Lei saw a middle-aged man talking accompanied by Jia Hanqing, although the middle-aged man looked very casual, but there was still an invisible pressure filling the surroundings, making Jia Hanqing speak a little unnaturally.

Shi Lei's appearance made Jia Hanqing happy, and he immediately walked out quickly and saluted Shi Lei and said, "My lord, this is the messenger sent by the Chuang army, General Hao." ”

At the same time, he turned to the middle-aged man General Hao and said, "General Hao, this is our Yulin County Commander Shi, if you have anything, you can talk to our Lord Shi." ”

"You are the county order, I can't see it, you are very bold at a young age, you even dare to grab the food of our army, I think you really don't want to live, if you know each other, hurry up and hand over the grain and Niu Xian's nephew, otherwise, when we break into the army and overwhelm the border, then you Yulin City will not even be left with Mao." After listening to Jia Hanqing's explanation, General Hao, who was still restrained, suddenly sank his face and said arrogantly.

Hearing General Hao's words, Shi Lei, who originally came with a negotiation in mind, suddenly swelled up with anger in his heart, thinking, now it is me who has the advantage, you are a begging person, you dare to be so arrogant in front of me, if I can endure this, then you will not ride on my head to pee.

With these thoughts, Shi Lei suddenly sneered and said, "Hehe, it seems that it is really 'easy to change the nature of the country and difficult to change', originally, the official thought that King Chuang had the current strength, at least he would understand some truths, but he didn't expect that it was still so vulgar and unreasonable, it seems that a rogue is a rogue and will never become a climate." ”

"What, boy, you dare to say what you said just now, believe it or not, Lao Tzu slashed you with a knife." Hearing Shi Lei's words, General Hao immediately said angrily.

"Cut me, I really don't believe it, you must know that this is my territory, if you don't want to go out, I can let people carry you out, these braggarts, don't say it, okay, my time is precious, if you don't come to talk about things, just leave quickly, I'm afraid that if you stay, I can't help but cut you." Shi Lei said very arrogantly, because he knew that if he didn't beat the other party's arrogant momentum, the other party would never negotiate well.

"Ah, you, you are good, I remember you, I hope that the next time we meet, you can still be so sharp-tongued, at this time, the general will not say anything else, King Chuang sent me this time, is to return the grain and Niu Xian's nephew, of course, King Chuang will not ask you for nothing, King Chuang promised you, as long as you are willing to take refuge in us, then when the time comes, you will be given the position of a prefect, the location is up to you, how about it, we are generous to break into the army!" Seeing Shi Lei, who was even more arrogant than himself, General Hao wanted to say something angrily, but in the end he gritted his teeth and put forward conditions.

Hearing the conditions proposed by General Hao, Shi Lei couldn't help laughing anymore, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart while laughing, he couldn't imagine that this army would come up with such a way, and actually wanted to let himself take refuge in him, and give him a position as a prefect, if Li Zicheng knew that even he was the emperor for only three days and was driven out of Beijing by the Manchus, I don't know how he would feel.

After laughing for a long time, Shi Lei said under the gaze of General Hao, "Hahahaha, I really laughed to death, this is also a negotiation, I see that you are too carried away in the army, don't forget, I am an official of the imperial court, not your slave, let you live and die, since you negotiate with me, then listen to my conditions." ”

Ask for collection, I'm sorry, the company is working overtime today, and the wood is coming back late, so forgive me.
