Chapter 8: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead into the Future (2)

Under gravity, the banner unfolds and then swings back and forth in the wind. And on this banner made of linen, seven large characters with undried ink were fluttering in the wind. These seven words are, from top to bottom:

"Fight all over the world invincible!"

As ordinary people under the roots of the imperial city, the onlookers can be said to be well-informed and dare to talk about anything. Especially those bannermen who lead the hardcore crops and have nothing to do, from the mountains to the river, up to the queen mother, to the foreigners who are as far away as England, are the objects of their casual comments. So they thought they wouldn't have anything to surprise them. It's like they boasted after drinking: "Haven't we seen anything!" ”

But as soon as these seven words came out today, it seemed like there was magic, which made the old and young masters at the feet of these heavens stunned. The last time anyone who dared to call himself invincible in the capital was twenty or thirty years ago. After a long night, these people began to get excited, and three or five people gathered around and began to talk.

"Hey, this black dragon will have a big breath, and he is not afraid to flash his tongue"

"You don't know this, now this Black Dragon Society is the one on the ground," the speaker gave a thumbs up.

"!" , there is a red-necked thick fierce and fierce said: "The fifth master of the big knife club is the strongest, just these five brothers can beat them with one hand"

"Huo," the others were unhappy, "What is the origin of your kid, and you dare to call the fifth master a brother?" ”

As they spoke, they dispersed, and the news spread in all directions at a rapid pace. It didn't take two meals to spread almost all over Xicheng.

At this time, Chen Cheng was in the camp a few miles outside the West Gate. It's not a big camp, but it has everything you need. Wall, ditch, horse, barracks, toilets, stables, warehouses, guard towers, etc. are neatly arranged, and there are several big dogs in the village, which are used to keep sentry at night.

The camp was built next to a small river, and Chen Cheng carried a hammer and a dozen people to drive piles along the river. When the piles are laid, a layer of planks is laid on them, and a few pulley sets are erected on the sides, and a small dock is ready. As far as he intended, he wanted to fill this small camp with cannons and machine guns. However, the small arsenal in Handan has limited production capacity, and it can supply a few Napoleon guns a month. Although there are drawings for the heavy machine gun, there are still many problems in the production, and the problem of jamming bullets has not been solved. Theoretically, it can reach a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, but in fact, a chain of 100 rounds will get stuck if it can't be finished, and then it will take a long time to repair, which simply cannot meet the requirements of actual combat. And the Napoleonic artillery is now very outdated, and it can still bully the Qing soldiers in China, which is not far behind the main field artillery of the current European powers.

So now the arsenal in Handan is fully engaged in the production of rifles and shotguns, and the production of heavy machine guns and cannons is only kept to a minimum to increase the application. At the same time, the research of field artillery, infantry guns and defensive heavy machine guns has been intensified, so as to have the ability to produce Makqin machine guns and new field suits that can be used in real combat in the next three months. At present, there are only some "water beads" and dual-purpose shotguns in hand, and the firepower is too thin to be used in many tactics.

However, there are many people who don't see it that way, for example, Zai Yi is full of praise for the shotguns he bought. It is believed that its firepower is powerful and simple to operate, which is a rare weapon. As for the "Water Bead", it looks good, but it is too troublesome to use. After inserting the bayonet, it is majestic and intimidating.

Zaiyi, who has a thick beard on his lips, doesn't look very shrewd, and he doesn't have much arrogance. Casually placing the firearm on the wooden rack, he said to the guards standing beside him, "Quanyou, what do you think of this Black Dragon Society?" Dare to play the banner of invincible opponents all over the world, is it really capable, or do people in the countryside not know the height of the sky? ”

The man known as Quanyou has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his palms are covered with calluses, although he is not confused, his eyes are still bright, and he is the founder of Wu's Taijiquan, Wu Quanyou. Wu Quanyou was originally Zaiyi's guard, and later followed Yang Luchan to learn Taijiquan, and after ten years and entered the hall, and then created his own school for ten years, he is a well-known martial arts master in the government and the opposition.

Because he was originally born in the Ruijun Palace, Wu Quanyou has always been inextricably linked with Zai Yi, and the two support each other between the government and the opposition. I was invited by Zai Yi today to ask about the Black Dragon Society, which has recently been in the limelight in the capital. Hearing the prince's question, Wu Quanyou pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "The rise of the Black Dragon Society is only a short period of time, and it can have such a huge momentum, which must not be simple. ”

It seems to say something, and it seems to say nothing. Zai Yi twisted the beard at the corner of his mouth, heard the meaning of the words, and continued to ask: "What the Black Dragon Society said about wishing to follow Ji Wei and conspire with great things, how to deal with it?" ”

Although Wu Quanyou is a martial artist, his words are extremely cautious. still thought for a while before he said: "Make friends in secret and wait and see what happens." ”

Zai Yi's expression changed, and then he laughed happily: "What Quan You said is exactly what I want." ”
