Wang Dou took the spear and the three-eyed gun and came back from Dongjiazhuang, he had decided to build a batch of weapons by himself, and the next thing was the choice of weapon types, whether it was from actual combat or from his own financial situation, he had to sort out this idea first. If there is a craftsman in the fort who makes the bird gun, the three-eyed gun king bucket will gradually stop being used in the future.

Wang Dou currently has a batch of large knives and spears captured from the Houjin Army, as well as spears bought from Dongjiazhuang, both of which will be built in the future, but they are trapped in financial resources, so they have to talk about it slowly.

There are a group of craftsmen in Shunxiang Fort, who have been making weapons for generations, presumably there are people who will make birds, Wang Dou sent Han Chao and Qi Tianliang to go, hoping to get a few craftsmen through the hundred households of Shunxiang Fort. Wang Dou knew that Du Gong was greedy and good-natured, so he gave Han Chao some silver before leaving, and asked him to go to Shunxiang Fort to reserve a generous gift.

Wang Dou prepared weapons to train soldiers, Han Zhong and the others of course agreed with both hands, only Han Chao was a little puzzled about Wang Dou's preparation to fight the bird gun, but he didn't say anything, and after receiving Wang Dou's task, he went to Shunxiang Fort with Qi Tianliang.

……

A few days later, the two of them returned and brought back six or seven craftsmen, one of whom was still the head craftsman, and he said that he was proficient in the making of bird guns.

At this time, these people stood in front of Wang Dou, all of them were rough, their faces were full of wind and frost, and the cotton jackets on their bodies were tattered, but they stomped their feet from time to time and breathed white air, the weather was too cold. Wang Dou saw that their faces were blue from the cold, so he asked them to go down and drink hot water first.

After they had recovered their breath, Wang Dou summoned them over to talk.

The head of the craftsman was named Li Maosen, forty-five or six years old, and his figure was very stout, but his face was shrewd.

Li Maosen said: "Back to the adult, it's not a small boast, when the little one was in the Acropolis Ordnance Bureau, when it came to making weapons and firearms, it was also one of the best, even after arriving at the Thousand Households, the skills in this hand did not fall." ”

Wang Dou looked at him as if he was reminiscing, his expression was proud and hateful, he was originally guarding the Acropolis, how could he finally come to this Shunxiang Fort? There must be a complicated story in this. However, this was not Wang Dou's concern, and he casually asked him some knowledge about making bird guns.

Li Maosen replied one by one, and he said: "My lord, it is wonderful to make a bird gun with six catties, but it consumes a lot of iron, forty catties of wool iron, and finally only seven or eight catties of refined iron, which is not a small cost.

This matter was settled, and Li Maosen and the others stayed in Jingbian Fort in the future, Wang Dou suddenly remembered something, and he said: "By the way, Li Jiangtou, in addition to the bird guns ignited by the fire rope, do you make that kind of wheel fire gun or fire gun?" ”

Wang Dou roughly described the two kinds of firearms he mentioned, and he was talking about the historical revolving flint and striking flint.

The revolver flint appeared around the mid-to-late 16th century, and ignited gunpowder by rubbing a gear bar against flint. The flint spear, which appeared in the early to mid-17th century, was ignited by a hammer striking a flint and became very popular for the next few hundred years. Wang Dou naturally wanted to have such a sharp weapon.

Li Maosen thought about it for a long time, although he wondered how Wang Dou could think of such a bird, but he finally shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed, the firearms that adults talked about, I really don't know the small ones, and I have to think about them carefully." ”

Wang Dou nodded, Shunxiang Fort is a small place after all, and it is impossible for such a profound firearms talent to appear, but he is anxious.

Later, Li Maosen and the others were arranged, and Wang Dou gave each of them a living room, and also selected a place for them as a weapons workshop.

Li Maosen and the others went happily, and along the way, they also looked curiously at this newly built Tunpu.

Old White Cow:

I went out at noon to socialize, and I'm only back now, and there is a chapter before twelve o'clock, thank you for your support.

Another note, some book friends think that the protagonist is somewhere in Shanxi Province, but in fact, the protagonist is now located in Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, which was called Baoan Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, connecting Wei County in Shanxi Province to the west, Huailai County in Zhangjiakou City to the east, and Xuanhua County in Zhangjiakou to the north. Moreover, Baoan Prefecture is still a little road away from Biansai, separated by the three places of Huailaiwei, Longqing Prefecture and Yongningwei at that time, which is now Huailai County and Yanqing County.
