"Huh? Taoism? Brother Xian, what do you say? Luo Jian, who was looking up at the steel mill, was shocked by Shi Kefa's words.

Liu Weimin also laughed when he heard it.

"Brother Xian, don't think nonsense, this car is equipped with an air cooling device, with this thing, it can be heated in winter and cooled in summer." Luo Jian laughed and explained to Shi Kefa.

Shi Kefa was relieved at this time, and said to Liu Weimin: "Hurry up, it's really hot, take us to see the cannon you made." ”

Liu Weimin led a few people into a factory.

"Xiao Liu, aren't you a little devil's 75 mountain cannon?" Luo Jian asked with a smile.

Stepping forward and touching the thin barrel, Shi Kefa asked suspiciously: "It's so thin, aren't you afraid of exploding?" ”

"Inspector, this is a steel cannon, not made of iron, and it is not easy to blow it up with the black huo powder from our gunpowder factory." Liu Weimin said with a smile.

"Smoothbore cannon?" Luo Jian stuck out his head and looked inside the barrel, "No, you got rifling?" ”

"I got it, but I thought of a lot of ways, this is a curved gun, if there is no rifling, the cannon will not be flipped out?" Liu Weimin explained.

"How did you get this brake?" Luo Jian looked at a large black mass under the barrel of the cannon, which seemed to be cast in iron.

"This has to talk about our craftsmen, I told the principle, they are desperately trying to find a way, now it is filled with tung oil, the effect is not bad, I also rewarded the craftsman with a hundred taels of silver."

"Yes, did you get the shells out?" Luo Jian asked.

"We cast a few in cast iron for experiments, and there are still a few left, and now there is no fuse trigger, only fire rope, and the time is very difficult to grasp."

"Pull it out and try it?" Luo Jian wanted to see if this thing could work.

"Yes, chief." Liu Weimin agreed, and at the same time called for someone to pull the mountain cannon out.

The mountain artillery is obviously not light, and when he asked Xiao Liu, he said that there were 500 kilograms, mainly because the brakes and rear hoes were heavy, but the maneuverability was not bad, and a horse was enough to pull.

Seeing that the mountain cannon was easily pushed out, Luo Jian asked, "Did you get the bearing?" ”

"Made specifically for this cannon, it may not be durable." Liu Weimin said with a smile.

Soon arrived at the specially marked shooting range, and several workers skillfully fixed the mountain cannon.

Several workers also came over with a black cannonball and cartridge, and Luo Jian saw that it was a long cannonball, and suddenly had the feeling of being in the afterlife, but he dragged a long braid on it.

Because there are leads in the front and back, it makes people feel that it is really troublesome if they fire a shot, but fortunately, the workers are skilled, and they quickly get it done, and they looked up at Liu Weimin.

"Ignition!" Liu Weimin shouted, and one person stepped forward and lit two lead ropes with a fire breaker, and then ran quickly behind the bunker, and waited for a long time before he heard a loud bang and the shells flew out.

Luo Jian hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look at the mountain cannon, and saw that its position was basically unchanged, obviously the retractor had worked.

After Luo Jian finished looking at the cannon body, the explosion of the cannonball came from afar.

"Chief, for safety, we have deliberately lengthened the fire rope." Xiao Liu hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"How far is the range?" Luo Jian asked, before the words fell, he saw Shi Kefa running in the direction of the shell explosion, and hurriedly followed.

"Generally, there are about 2.5 kilometers, and the full charge can hit 3.5 kilometers, but the safety is not guaranteed." Liu Weimin said as he followed.

On this hot day, running four or five miles is really enough, Luo Jian secretly complained about Shi Kefa in his heart.

When I ran to the explosion point, I searched for a long time before I found a small pit on the ground.

Luo Jian carefully searched for shrapnel on the ground, and only found a few large pieces, obviously the explosive power of this gunpowder is good.

I heard that as long as you use the right method to make it, the power of black huo medicine is about 30% of **, and it seems that it is really possible.

"Chief, we loaded more than a kilogram." Xiao Liu knew what Luo Jian meant.

Accustomed to seeing the artillery with a range of tens of kilometers in later generations, Luo Jian didn't care about the 2.5 kilometers, what Luo Jian cared about was when he could get an instantaneous fuse, so as to greatly improve the rate of fire and lethality.

It's just that the range of this small mountain cannon completely shocked Shi Kefa, you must know that the maximum range of the red-coated cannon is only about 2 kilometers, and the firing speed is extremely slow.

"Xiao Liu, how many cannons like this can you make in a month?" Shi Kefa asked impatiently.

"Inspector, this cannon is still very imperfect, it is still experimental, and some things still need to be improved."

Liu Weimin's anxiety for Shi Kefa is a little funny, these technologies can not be found on the computer, fortunately, Luo Jian and several people are all artillerymen, know these theories and structures, this is how to piece together such a "four dissimilar" artillery, Liu Weimin himself is not very satisfied.

"It's already excellent, you have to hurry up and build more, Xinghua can completely provoke the Manchus this time, maybe when they will come over." Shi Kefa's words shocked Luo Jian's heart.

After thinking about it carefully, Luo Jian said: "The Manchurian people have lived in cold places for a long time, and they are not heat-tolerant. Now that the weather in Jiangnan is so hot, I think even if they want to enter Jiangnan again, I'm afraid it will be after autumn. ”

"Even so, we can't relax, Xinghua, you have to send more people, and you must grasp the movements of the Qing troops in time." Shi Kefa said.

The weather was too hot, and when Luo Jian and the others returned to the factory, they were all sweating profusely.

"Xiao Liu, we are going to Nanjing in the past few days, will you go?" Luo Jian thought about the next arrangement, now that the weather is so hot, he is worried that Xiao Liu will not be able to endure hardship, and wants to take him to Nanjing with him.

"Chief, I'm not going, I'm so nervous here, I have to hurry up and perfect this artillery, and the fuse must be made as soon as possible." Liu Weimin replied quickly.

Knowing Luo Jian's intentions, he continued: "Chief, you don't have to worry about me, my conditions here are still very good, Steward Luo has sent me a lot of ice cubes, and I don't know where he got it." ”

"Brother Mao, I went to Nanjing this time to take your family to Yangzhou, what do you think?" Luo Jian asked Chen Zilong again.

"That's not necessary, my parents still live in Nanjing, and Neiko can take care of them at home, and it's also very convenient to go back to Nanjing here, so you don't have to worry about Xinghua." Chen Zilong said.

"Okay, you've worked hard here, and I'll come back from Nanjing to see you."

On the way back to Yangzhou, Shi Kefa asked Luo Jian with a smile, "In the past, the Qin sent to invite you, but you didn't go, and now why do you go to Nanjing?" ”

"Why don't you write a note first?" Luo Jian didn't understand these Dao Dao at all.

"I'll write it, I'll accompany you to Nanjing! I haven't been home for a few months, and I don't know if my mother is healthy. Shi Kefa said, a look of guilt on his face.

In fact, what Shi Kefa was most worried about was that when Luo Jian and the others arrived in Nanjing, they couldn't deal with the people in Nanjing City at all, thinking that with their own presence, those people would not go too far.

As soon as the warrior car drove into the gate of the mansion, Luo Jian saw that there were two sedan chairs parked in the place where they had been parked, and a group of soldiers and entourage were also standing under the shade of the trees.

A group of people watched in amazement as the warrior car drove into the gate, and when they saw the car driving towards them, they all knelt down towards the car.

Luo Jian parked the car, opened the door, stepped out of the car, and asked, "Get up, who are you?" ”

"Could it be that Qin sent you to urge you to enter Beijing again?" Shi Kefa, who was greedy for the coolness in the car and didn't want to get out of the car, said with a smile.

"Master, we are here with Qian Shangshu sent by Qin." One of the leading soldiers said, seemingly a small general.

"Oh, Mr. Makisai is here? Xinghua, let's go, go and meet Mr. Mu Zhai. When Shi Kefa heard this, he quickly opened the door and got out of the car.

Although Qian Qianyi had taken refuge in Ma Shiying at this time, he did not fight against Donglin, after all, he was a leader in the literary world, and Shi Kefa still respected Qian Qianyi very much.

The two were about to enter the door, but they saw two people coming out of the gate of the courtyard where Luo Jian lived.

When the first person was in his sixties, his hair was already gray, but his spirit was excellent, although the back person was dressed as a scholar, but his face was like a peach blossom, handsome and abnormal, a pair of apricot eyes stared at Luo Jian, and then lowered his head.

At first glance, he knew that it was a Xibei goods, and Luo Jian estimated that it was the legendary Liu Ruyi.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, have you come to Yangzhou in person? Xinghua, come over and let me introduce you, this is Mr. Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Shi Kefa stepped forward and bowed.

When Luo Jian saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists to salute.

Luo Jian still knows a little about Qian Qianyi in history, and later generations have a lot of evaluations about him, in the final analysis, Qian Qianyi is an unsuccessful politician literati, if he does not enter politics, as a generation of writers, there should be no objections, and then because of Emperor Qianlong's "because of people", he was gradually disgraced by the world.

Qian Qianyi was depressed after surrendering to the Manchu Dynasty, and later secretly participated in anti-Qing and Ming restoration activities.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, this is Mrs. Qian, right? Hurry up inside please. Luo Jian greeted and was about to lead the two inside.

"Wei Guogong, Xianzhi, you just came back in that divine car?" Qian Qianyi didn't want to rush in, obviously interested in the warrior car.

"Hehe, exactly, Mr. Mu Zhai also wants to take this 'magic car'? Xinghua, how about you work hard again and take Mr. Muzhai around? ”

Shi Kefa said with a smile, since he figured it out, Shi Kefa has become much more cheerful now, and he is no longer as old-fashioned as before on weekdays.

"Mr. Mu Zhai and Mrs. Qian, please. Brother Xian, how about we go to the West Lake? Seeing Shi Kefa say this, Luo Jian hurriedly led the two of them to the front of the warrior car.

A group of people were walking to the front of the car, and Liu Lan came back from outside with a beautiful parasol.

"Brother Luo, where are you going? I'm going too. ”

Luo Jian saw that Liu Lan was coming, and thought to himself that although this Liu Ru was wearing men's clothes, she was a woman after all, and she was worried that no one would accompany her, and this Liu Lan came just in time.

Liu Lan was not very interested in Qian Qianyi, the old man, and stared at Liu Ru for a long time, the legendary Qin Zhun Bayan was not only interested in men, but also Liu Lan.

Liu Ru also stared at Liu Lan, she had long heard that there was a girl among the angels, she must be this one, seeing that she was not only beautiful, but also wore clothes that she had never seen before, but it was a different flavor.

"Liu Lan, come here, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this is his wife, but your own family." The group got into the car and walked out of the West Gate in the direction of Slender West Lake.

Walking next to Liu Ruyi, Liu Lan smelled the familiar fragrance, and suddenly snickered in her heart.

Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru were surprised when they got into the car, and they were especially surprised by the coolness in the car.

Luo Jian turned on the car music, found "Erquan Reflecting the Moon" and put it on.

Liu Lan, Qian Qianyi, and Liu Ru sat in the back row, the music sounded, and when they saw that the two of them were curious for a moment, they all listened attentively.

The sad music quieted down the car, Liu Lan looked up and saw that Liu Ru was already with tears in both eyes, and said in her heart that Liu Ru was so sentimental, and quickly took out two tissues from the side of the car and handed them to her.

Qian Qianyi closed his eyes, shook his head, and was also immersed in the song.

After a few minutes of playing, the car was still quiet.

"Xinghua, who composed this song, so sad?" Shi Kefa broke the silence in the car.

"This piece is composed by a blind man named Ah Bing, which not only expresses the composer's heartfelt sorrow, but also expresses the longing for the light. Liu Lan took Shi Kefa's words and said.

Knowing that although Luo Jian likes these songs, his understanding of these songs is probably worse than his own, you must know that Liu Lan has been forced by her family to learn a lot of musical instruments since she was a child.

"Some time ago, I listened to the cry of the northern scholars, and I wanted to hear this song. The composer of the song lives in darkness, but why don't our people and our people live in darkness? Luo Jian said with a sigh.

"Wei Guogong has the heart of the world and the heart of the people, which makes the old man admire!" Qian Qianyi, who was sitting in the back row, sighed and said.

Listening to Qian Qianyi's words, Liu Ru looked at Luo Jian carefully with a pair of apricot eyes, thinking in his heart that this man who fell from the sky had such a big heart, as if he wanted to contain the whole world, but such a heroic figure was not the ideal man in Liu Ru's heart.

When the warrior car arrived at Slender West Lake, Luo Jian found a tree and stopped the car.

It took a while for everyone to get used to the heat wave outside and walked towards the pavilion next to the red bridge.
