Chapter 80: The Great Leap Forward of the Musket
"A hundred shotguns!?"
Xiao Sheng's face turned pale.
"You want to rebel?"
He was joking, not paying attention to the wicked arc of Li Shi's mouth.
"You cut down all these bandits, unless Yang Chun burns his brain and leads the team to attack, no more bandits will dare to provoke you, why do you want so many shotguns?"
Xiao Sheng's question is very in place, if the matter is over, Li Xian didn't want to be so aggressive. But what Niu Eleven told him made him feel that he could continue to borrow.
"If I really rebel, will you be the first to lead troops to attack?"
Li Shi asked half-teasingly, half-jokingly.
"I'm going to be so angry that I'm going to vomit blood and fall ill."
Xiao Sheng said with a straight face and pretending to be very serious.
"I'm not your best friend, is it worth your hard work......
Li Shi rolled his eyes, Xiao Sheng scratched his head, and couldn't help but ask what kind of oil this "chicken fat" was.
"Okay, seriously. Since the Kangxi Dynasty of this dynasty, the largest grass rebellion is about to be staged in our Yingde, and the previous Taiwan rebellion is nothing at all. ”
Xiao Sheng was stunned when he said this, and his face turned white and then red.
"Really!?"
His rhetorical tone was full of excitement.
"If you officers and soldiers don't deal with it well, I guess Guangzhou will be in trouble."
Li Xian said leisurely, but there was an incomprehensible regret in Xiao Sheng's tone, it was Li Xian who was entangled, he hadn't rebelled yet, but the enemy had already started his career.
In the previous "reception room", it took Li Shi a long time to explain the situation thoroughly, Xiao Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded and said: "This is indeed a big mess, but ......"
He was full of confidence: "It's just a little more effort, with Shi Junmen, there are twice as many bandits, and I don't have to worry." Speaking of which, I wish I could have done more, preferably to shake the whole South. In this way, the civil officials and the old men will no longer be able to support me, and the emperor will have to lose face for the sake of the inside, and at that time, we martial artists will have a good time. ”
Li Shi was puzzled, Shi Shibiao was just Shi Lang's son, and he had the impression that he would calm the rebellion of Zhu Yigui in Taiwan nine years later, was it really so powerful?
"Jinghaihou's generation is full of influential figures, and now we have a Lan Li left in the south, not only old, but also guilty. The current Shi Junmen, everyone privately calls Shi Liuye, and Shi Erye is one scholar and one martial artist, which is the world's uniformity. Shi Liuye will take over the post of Admiral of the Fujian Navy of Jinghai Hou within the year, and he has obtained the true inheritance of Jinghai Hou! ”
Xiao Sheng was killed by a real gun, and his evaluation of the generals was naturally credible, Li Xian's heart was cold, and it seemed that Yang Chun's momentum could only be borrowed until the last wave.
"When you say that, it's not impossible to ask for a hundred shotguns."
Xiao Sheng finally said what Li Shi wanted to hear.
"The army is gathered, Yingde County must have to practice the courage and the people to cooperate, the two Lian Zong of the Peng family are dead, if the fourth brother can catch this Lian Zong, let alone a hundred strokes, two hundred strokes are up to you, just report ten strokes. Even if Li Zhushou knew that there were actually 200 strokes, he would pretend not to see it. ”
Xiao Sheng's tone changed, and he changed his serious reminder: "After solving the scourge of Yang Chun, all the weapons in the secret have to be packed up, and they can't be exposed, otherwise they will always leave people with a handle." ”
With Xiao Sheng's judgment, Li Xian had a bottom in his heart.
"But there are two more...... No, three questions ......"
Without waiting for Xiao Sheng to finish speaking, Li Xian waved his hand to stop, he had already thought about it.
"First, I'm too young and haven't made a name for myself, so I won't be able to get the position of Mr. Lian, so it's easy to solve. The second is that if you really want to cooperate with the officers and soldiers, the shotguns that practice the brave people and the people are too eye-catching, and this matter depends on you. Didn't you say you wanted to join forces with me? Now is the time. ”
These two problems were difficult for Li Shi, but Xiao Sheng did not believe that Li Shi could solve the third problem.
"So the third...... I don't have that many shotguns. ”
Li Xian said disdainfully: "You burning sticks, give me and I don't want it." ”
He took a deep breath: "It should take ten days, I have a gunsmith, an iron shop, and I make this shotgun!" ”
Xiao Sheng was stunned: "A hundred shotguns, made in ten days!?" ”
Li Xian laughed and said, "I'm an immortal who has built twelve mountain-splitting cannons in two months. ”
Xiao Sheng timidly muttered that a shotgun was more troublesome than a cannon, and Tian Dayou knocked on the door and came in, saying that someone from the Peng family was coming.
Li Xi nodded: "It seems that the first problem can be solved immediately." ”
The person who came was called Peng Xianzhong, in his early twenties, Wenwen was weak, he was still a child, he was pale, obviously frightened by the bunch of people outside Zhuangzi.
Peng Xianzhong came to talk about buying the land in Fengtian Village, but Li Shi wanted to talk about the Peng family's practice of the general position, and was brought away by Li Xian's professional reporter's skills, and the news kept spitting out. The Peng family has a lot of background in Yingde, and the area next to Qingyuan Dipping Pond in Yingde is mostly the Peng family's industry, and the people in the clan are prosperous. Although he didn't have any official masters, he had been in business for many years and had a career. Relying on the martial arts of Peng Tong and Peng Hu, he has always occupied the position of the general practitioner in the county.
At present, Peng Tong and Peng Hu have been killed in battles one after another, and hundreds of people in the clan and Zhuang Ding have also died, not only Peng Tong's house has been completely defeated, but the entire Peng family has also suffered a lot of vitality. Now Peng Xianzhong's room has become the support of the old man in charge of the Peng family, and Mr. Lian is also Peng Xianzhong's old man, and he is no longer able to occupy the position. It's not that the other squires didn't dare to take over, and the position of the general manager of this practice had already been lost.
Now the Peng family is only thinking about resettle the clansmen who defected from Guangxi, although the people have suffered heavy losses, the Peng family has more silver. Even the position of Lian General Manager was retained, and it was because Li Zhushou wanted to take this opportunity to squeeze the silver from them and prevent the Peng family from getting out.
"Destroying wealth and eliminating disasters, it can only be like this, I look at Brother Li'er's Zhuangzi, and the Zhuangding are very powerful......
Peng Xianzhong is a smart man and senses that the two sides seem to complement each other.
"Our village has a grudge against Yang Chun, and if we don't solve him, we won't be able to sleep and eat. Since your Peng family has silver, and we have people in Fengtian Village, let's talk about it...... No, two businesses. ”
Hearing that the Peng family was still a businessman, Li Xian's heart moved, and he pulled out another thing by the way.
After a brief discussion, Peng Xianzhong said goodbye happily with one thing, his level was not enough to make a decision, but he got the news from Li Xian, and he wanted to go back to discuss with the older generation quickly. Looking at the eagerness between his expression and words, Li Xian was sure in his heart that these two businesses were a win-win situation, and the Peng family should not refuse.
Two of the three problems have been solved, and the remaining one has to rely on Li Xi himself.
"Come on, let's go ahead and set off a great leap forward in making shotguns!"
Li Shi said this to Guan Tian and the others, although everyone was used to bearing the surprise he bringed, but this time they were all shocked.
Ten days, a hundred shotguns!?
Tian Dayou is a gunsmith, he felt that his professionalism had suffered a great insult, and he frowned at Li Xian and said unhappily: "Fourth brother, don't make some jokes, ten days?" Do you know how long it takes to drill the barrel of a gun? One month! ”
His head shook like a rattle: "Unless all you're going to build is an iron firecracker that can explode." ”
Li Shi nodded: "It's really difficult, but it doesn't mean that it can't be done, I will make a plan as soon as possible, and you go to prepare materials and arrest people first." ”
When Li Shi came out of the house, Guan Tian and the others looked at each other.
"Those boys are the treasures of the fourth brother, three were killed by a shotgun last night, and three of them were hanging, I think the fourth brother is a little ......"
Tian Dayou pointed to his head with a bitter face, which meant that Li Xian's brain was not normal.
Guan Fengsheng came back to his senses and shook his head: "Lao Tian, I understand your thoughts, when the fourth brother said that he would take over the cannon casting business, I also had the same idea as you. ”
Speaking of cannons, everyone looked at each other again, isn't it, before Li Shi threw out an iron model, they cast twelve mountain-splitting cannons in a month and a half!
Tian Dayou was stunned, with a stiff expression on his face, and his thoughts were already flying.
"For ten days, you'll have to play with shotguns better than spears!"
When Guan Tian and the others were stupid, Li Shi was in the classroom upstairs, and the fifty or so teenagers were also stupid.
"Four...... Director-General, we haven't played the spear yet......"
Wu Ya muttered in a low voice, although the shotgun was simple, they had never touched it. Ten days to ask them to be able to play shotgun, this thing is really unreliable.
"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to practice, you will practice! From today onwards, everyone will have to run with a shotgun on their backs, eat with a shotgun on their backs, urinate on their backs, and sleep with a shotgun! It is your heart, your woman, your son, your father! ”
Li Xi spewed out this sentence like a cannon, and the teenagers' eyes widened when they heard it, they had never heard Li Xi speak like this!
Wiping his somewhat hot forehead, Li Xi stabilized his mind, he still didn't have enough surnames, so he opened his mouth to train these teenagers as veterans. Although they can barely be regarded as veterans, they really can't accept such flamboyant words for a while.
Li Shi was also a little out of shape by his somewhat confused mind, the three teenagers who were killed by shotguns made him very angry, and then learned about Yang Chun's movements from Niu Shiyi, and even sensed an opportunity to allow the teenagers and even the villagers to get in touch with the war that they had never experienced in their lives, which was the most scarce part of his rebellion: experience. If he can grasp this opportunity and let his subordinates gain the experience of the Great War, the foundation of these seeds of his can be raised to another level.
But he not only has to seize the opportunity, but also to take care of these seedlings, the previous battle was forced to be helpless, and in the future, he can no longer let the teenagers only use spears to charge in a daze, the only way is to let them become shotgunslingers.
In the past ten days, making a hundred shotguns is just a trivial matter, and what is even crazier is that he wants to let the teenagers become a qualified shotgunner in this little time.
This is the real Great Leap Forward.
