Gao Shiyin and Yang Tong came to Shunxiang Fort from Dongjiazhuang, and after the two received the notice, Wang Dou set up a banquet to entertain the two old brothers. ”

There was a bit of gloom on his face, Han Zhong's words hit his heart, in the past, he had indeed killed a lot of people in the battalion, both good and bad, and even more good and risky merit, whether he could accumulate yin virtue by worshipping God, he also didn't know.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff. Yang Tong hurriedly played a round and said: "Okay, everyone is a good brother." If you make some unintentional mistakes, don't make a fuss. ”

He smiled at Wang Dou and said: "My lord, the lowly and high hundred households are ready to reclaim wasteland in Dongjiazhuang, but there is a lack of ploughing cattle and farm tools, grain and rice, and I hope that the adults can support one or two." ”

His demeanor was respectful. Wang Dou served as a defensive officer, and after he was promoted to a thousand households, he spoke even more carefully. Now the two front teeth on his mouth are also lost forever, which makes his speech inevitably leaky. At present, he and Gao Shiyin are in Dongjiazhuang, one is in charge of soldiers and the other is in Tuntian. It's all right.

After the two of them brought a team of soldiers to Dongjiazhuang, with the help of several scribes, they also counted the young and strong population in the fort. They were ready to follow Wang Dou's example in Jingbian Fort and Shunji Fort to reclaim wasteland and train young and strong, but the lack of materials made it difficult to carry out the work.

Wang Dou pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll take fifteen ploughing oxen from the fort." Thirty stone of rice grain will be given to you, and you can go and explain it to Lin Deputy Qianhu. ”

Gao Shiyin and Yang Tong were both overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly. Wang Dou also thought that after the soldiers of Shunxiang Fort were trained, he would also need to pull the soldiers and horses in the territory to Shunxiang Fort in turn for training, and the training of officers of each fort should also be on his agenda.

After the banquet, Wang Dou said to Gao Shiyin and Yang Tong: "Tomorrow is the Laba Festival, you should go back after the Laba Festival." ”

Both of them hurriedly agreed.

The eighth day of the lunar month in the eighth year of Chongzhen is a traditional festival of the Ming Dynasty. On this day, every household has to eat laba porridge, and there are a series of activities such as worshipping ancestors and worshiping gods to chase away epidemics. On this day, Shunxiang Fort is also a day off for the whole army. The military and civilians spent the festival together.

On this day, the entire Shunxiang Fort was jubilant, and it was nearly noon, Zhong and Xie Xiuniang. At the same time, Zhong's face was also proud. In the past, how could these big people in Shunbao look at her little woman? It's because of the son. That's why they're so respectful to themselves.

After introducing everyone in the castle one by one, Zhong Zhengxian also stepped forward with a smile on his face and called out to Zhong: "Fourth sister." ”

Zhong glared and said, "Brother, have you caused trouble for your nephew?" ”

Zhong Zhengxian was quite afraid of this sister, and he called out to hit the sky: "How can there be, I don't believe you ask for a fight."

Zhong snorted: "If there is." I can't spare you

Zhong Tiaoyang stepped forward and saluted Wang Dou. Wang Dou smiled and said, "Cousin, the matter of Jingbian Fort has worked hard for you. ”

Zhong Tiaoyang solemnly saluted: "This is a matter of humble duty, and I dare not say that it is hard." ”

Wang Tianxue and Li Maosen also stepped forward to salute Wang Dou. Wang Tianxue's Confucian shirt was still crumpled, and he shook his head and said: "I have finally come to a big city, and I am no longer a poor country, so I don't know how this Shunxiang Fort compares to Jingbian Fort." ”

When everyone entered the fort and saw the street inside, Zhong's eyes showed a look of surprise. She used to come to Shunxiang Fort. Now the situation inside is very different from before, the streets are neat and clean, and the military households are full of energy, which is still the same as before, when the garbage is all over the ground, and the streets are full of yellow-faced and thin military households begging for ears?

How can you not surprise Zhong in such a short period of time? Li Maosen and other craftsmen who accompanied him also had their mouths open, and they came out of Shunxiang Fort. I can't know much about Shunxiang Fort. It's unbelievable that there has been such a change in the fort in such a short period of time.

After entering the Qianhu official hall, Wang Dou arranged for his mother and wife to stay, and then he took Xie Xiuniang's hand. Listen to the voice of the child in her belly.

Seeing her husband look so intimate. Xie Xiuniang was a little shy, she said softly: "Brother, how can it be so fast."

Wang Dou smiled: "It's me who is anxious." Afterwards, Xie Xiuniang sat with the wives of a cadre of officers, and became the focus and object of the women. However, Xie Xiuniang already has some experience in this kind of scene, that is, she talks less and smiles more, but she also has a graceful posture, which makes people dare not look at it.

At this time, the stage sang the local bangzi, the singing was high-pitched and agitated, melodious and tactful, quite charming, and the troupe was quite famous in Baoanzhou, which aroused the applause of the audience. Among them, Gao Shiyin, Han Zhong, and Wen Fangliang were the loudest.

That Wen Fangliang is worthy of being a merry brother. He is handsome, his family is also solid, and now he is a deputy thousand households, which attracts the attention of the surrounding women. He brought out his wife and five concubines today, all of them are quite beautiful, and they are very attention-grabbing.

Wen Fangliang has hundreds of acres of fertile land in Shunxiang Fort, and there are many house slaves in his house, and more than a dozen family members on his team are all house slaves beside him, which is also a common phenomenon in Shunxiang Fort and military forts in various places. The officers took possession of a large amount of land in order to feed the slaves of their own bows.

In fact, Wang Dou did not set up a family, and several Shunxiang Fort management officers privately did not think so, although Wang Dou trained a large number of good soldiers, it was just a paper order. There is a danger of making a wedding dress for someone else. Wang Dou has also heard a lot about this kind of discussion in private. He just laughed it off. Coming from later generations, he has a lot of means to solve this kind of problem. Families, they are not allowed to appear in his army.

Wen Fangliang is now promoted to deputy thousand households. is already qualified to participate in the management of all things in the castle, and Wang Dou is still considering his arrangement.

After watching the play. Only then did everyone disperse contentedly, and from tomorrow, the Shunxiang army would begin to practice hard again, which would continue until a few days before the New Year.

In the evening, Zhong Tiaoyang had a conflict with his father Zhong Zhengxian. The reason is that Zhong Tiaoyang heard that his father is now living in a thousand houses, Zhong Tiaoyang thinks it is inappropriate and persuades his father to move out. Zhong Zhengxian was naturally furious, but Zhong Tiaoyang's tone was resolute, and the father and son had a quarrel, and finally Zhong Zhengxian moved out dejectedly and lived in the scribe's room.

Zhong and Xie Xiuniang lived in the castle after that, and Wang Dou was ready to arrange for them to do some things to care for women and children in the future. Wang Dou could only find a way to survive this hurdle. After that, it went well.

This time, Li Maosen and Wang Tianxue also came to Shunxiang Fort together, and Wang Tianxue was in Jingbian Fort during these times. He also opened a herb shop and brought a few apprentices to collect medicines, and Wang Dou asked him to continue to open a medicine shop in Shunxiang Fort to train apprentices.

In Wang Dou's plan", disinfection supplies in the army in the future. Bandages, gauze, surgical instruments to clean wounds, as well as all kinds of anthelmintic drugs, marching powders, hemostatic medicines, bone-setting medicines, wine ointments, etc., must be developed. What does Wang Tianxue want, just tell himself.

There is also Li Maosen, this time he returned to Shunxiang Fort, which is regarded as a return to his hometown, and the craftsmen in the original fort are all envious when they see him now.

Wang Dou was ready to let Li Maosen take charge of the Shunxiang Fort craftsman's workshop, and according to the system of Jingbian Fort, he would provide basic monthly rations, and then punish the lazy and reward the diligent to ensure the manufacturing quality of weapons and armor. In this regard, Jingbian Fort already has a mature craftsman system, and Li Maosen has been in Jingbian Fort for many days, so he is naturally familiar with this management.

Under the new reward and punishment system, soon, the atmosphere of the Shunxiang Fort craftsman workshop was new, and the Shunxiang Fort Craftsman Workshop was in full swing like Jingbian Fort.

Li Maosen assured Wang Dou that as long as there were enough raw materials. He can produce a steady stream of qualified fire mirror weapons.

Iron King Dou has a way, Shunxiang Fort has some inventory of iron materials, and after the New Year, he can also organize people to go to Huiyao Fort to open mines.

However, the raw material supply of gunpowder saltpeter. Wang Dou is at a loss, there is no other way than to buy from outside, and it is inevitable to be controlled by others. In his vision, in the future, the manufacture of black powder will be improved, and granular black powder will be studied, which will require a large amount of saltpeter.

It's just that where is the saltpeter, and are there related minerals in and around Baoan State?

Wang Dou pondered, while looking at Li Maosen Ding Ding in front of him with the lock of the bird system, Guan, the division of labor in the Shunxiang Fort Craftsman Workshop is roughly divided into iron work, wood work, and gunpowder work. The most critical part of the bird system is the welding of the mirror tube, although Li Maosen is the head craftsman. On weekdays, there are many people who make bird systems, and he also participates in the assembly of many bird systems.

Shunxiang Fort Craftsman Workshop has long been related to the sharp pipe connection of the bed, which has been handed down very early, convenient for locking, and the pipe is worn with rivets, at this time there is a made bird dysprosium next to him, jet black and sophisticated, and the shape and structure of the bird system is no different from the arquebus in the West. However, the dragon head of the Western arquebus is shot from front to back. The bird mirror in front of you is installed in reverse for the dragon head, and the rear baffle is set to prevent the gas generated during the hit from hurting the shooter, which is the embodiment of the intelligence of the Chinese at that time.

Seeing Li Maosen welding the pipe, Wang Dou suddenly said: "Li Jiangtou, can't you directly punch out the dysprosium pipe on the steel core?" So. The pipe is stronger and thicker, not allowed to explode, and more powerful, isn't it?

Wang Dou has read some historical materials, and remembers that the Western arquebus and the Japanese iron cannon are directly wrapped with red iron on a steel core, and then knocked out layer by layer, without welding, so that the lock is very large. The power is also great.

Li Maosen was stunned for a moment, he pondered carefully for a while, and said: "Indeed, because there is no need for pipe welding, the requirements for craftsman skills are low, and it is not easy to blow up the chamber. The mirror tube is large, there are many fillers, and the power of the fire dysprosium is also great. It's just that the range of this fire system is close, and the villain's lethality is estimated to be about sixty steps

"Sixty steps

Wang Dou groaned, and the range of the Qing soldier's infantry bow was sixty paces.

It seems that there is no advantage in shooting against the Qing soldiers like this.

Unless, there must be artillery!
