Blacksmith Liu was reluctant at first, feeling that he had lost Hu Guang's trust. He remembered clearly that at yesterday's meeting, Hu Guangke publicly announced that he would focus on firearms.

Indeed, the flintlock pistol that Hu Guang spoke of was much better than the arquebus that existed today. At that time, when we discussed it, it sounded simple, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Hu Guang looked at Blacksmith Liu like this, knowing that he didn't make it, and felt uncomfortable. He had no choice but to comfort: "Uncle Liu, this is actually mine." It's easy, but it's not easy to do......"

Speaking of this, he smiled at Blacksmith Liu and said, "Otherwise, there are so many skilled craftsmen in the imperial court, why didn't anyone make them first, right?" ”

When Blacksmith Liu heard it, he really hadn't heard of anyone making it. He knew his level, and thinking that those who were much better than him hadn't done it, he finally felt a little better in his heart. So, I didn't insist anymore and finally went back to rest.

Hu Guang really thought it would be easy, but if the intention was clear, Blacksmith Liu would make it. This way, you can save a lot of time to do other things. After all, I am really busy in all aspects at the moment, and I have no skills. I really didn't expect that in the end, I had to spend my own brains to guess the structure of the flintlock machine.

He immediately had someone take a piece of charcoal and draw it on the bluestone floor.

The apprentices of Liu Blacksmith and Hu Guang's guards were very curious, and they gathered around to watch him draw patterns one by one, overturn them, and redraw them.

Regardless of whether Hu Guang can draw the correct and useful structure in the end, this process alone makes these illiterate ancients admire.

In their impression, only the sages in the mouth of Mr. Storyteller have such the ability to write and paint, and suddenly calculate something.

About half an hour later, Hu Guang suddenly dropped the charcoal, clapped his hands and stood up and said, "It's almost there!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were taken aback, and they all looked at the last pattern drawn on the ground, but unfortunately they couldn't understand it.

Hu Guang also knew this, so he asked people to fetch a quill pen and paper, and pointed it at the arquebus, and began to draw a pattern of actual proportions, each part, marked with Arabic numerals, and then marked on one side.

The structure of the flintlock pistol's half-firing state and full-firing state was also drawn. As long as you are not too stupid and look at a few schematic diagrams, you should be able to understand it.

However, the thickness and flexibility of each accessory need to be experimented with to see what is best.

Hu Guang looked at the group of apprentices gathered on the side, thinking about whether to explain it to them so that he could withdraw early.

But he was also a little hesitant, if he told them first, when he came back, Liu Blacksmith came, and his apprentice told him what to do, would it break his heart?

After a little weighing, just as Hu Guang had made a decision, he saw that Blacksmith Liu had come back again. Without waiting for Hu Guang to speak, he explained first: "I can't sleep left and right on the kang, anyway, after lying down for so long, it can be regarded as resting, so I came over to take a look." ”

Hu Guang understood that he was worried about the flintlock pistol, so although his body was tired, he still couldn't sleep.

He pushed the drawing to Blacksmith Liu's side, and said directly: "Uncle Liu came just in time, the structure can be basically determined, come and see, this is ......."

When Blacksmith Liu heard this, his face became solemn, his eyes were fixed on the drawings, and he listened carefully to Hu Guang's explanation.

He had been engaged in the construction of arquebuses for many years, and Hu Guang drew them so clearly, and he was still explaining carefully on the side, so he immediately understood what was going on.

After Hu Guang finished speaking, he patted Blacksmith Liu on the shoulder and said to him sincerely: "Uncle Liu, the drawings are already here, there should be no problem." You can tell them to get ready first, and now you have to go and rest and get a good night's sleep before you can work. ”

Blacksmith Liu was excited, eager to make the accessories on the drawings real immediately, and when he heard Hu Guang say this, he shook his head and wanted to refuse.

Hu Guang didn't talk to him anymore, and directly instructed the two apprentices: "You put Uncle Liu in his house, don't sleep enough hours, don't let him come out, this is my order, don't disobey!" ”

When Blacksmith Liu heard this, he was a little helpless, so he had to follow Hu Guang and instruct the apprentices to prepare before leaving gratefully.

Hu Guang also left immediately and came to the carpenter's side non-stop. It's going well here, and Hu Guangyao's monocular frame has been done as required.

Carpenter Zhang is leading people to prepare the blank of the butt, and check the inventory of arquebuses, unqualified, may have quality problems are singled out.

He was discussing these arquebuses with Carpenter Zhang, when suddenly a guard at the gate of the craftsman's camp hurriedly came to him and told Hu Guangyu: "Childe, Company Commander Hu sent someone to say that there are many people outside the West City Gate, please come over and have a look." ”

When Hu Guang heard this, he was greatly surprised, how could there be many people outside the city on this cold day?

Things were a little unusual, Hu Guang immediately left what he was doing and hurried to the West Gate.

On the way, he met Hu Kuan, who also rushed to hear the news. Intuitively, something must have happened, so Hu Kuan also brought his battalion with him.

Before Hu Guang went to the city, he heard the cries of men, women and children outside the city and the sound of opening the door. It seems that there are quite a few people.

Hu Hansan had already seen Hu Guang, so when Hu Guang went to the city, he greeted him. Accompanied him to the battlements, he said with a stern face: "There are about two hundred people, men, women, and children, young and strong. They told them that the village had been driven out by robbers. ”

Hu Guang nodded, leaned out of the city, looked down, and found that as Hu Hansan said, more than 200 people in the city were divided into piles in groups of three or five, and they were not far from each other. There was no one but them outside the city.

At this time, the sun is already setting, and the temperature has dropped a lot. Many people outside the city were also poorly dressed, shivering in the cold wind.

There are also some people who have arrived at their destination, and when they see that they cannot enter the city, they have fallen to the ground in the cold, and they are afraid that they will not be able to do so.

Hu Guang's brows furrowed, and he immediately turned to Hu Kuan and said, "Big brother, send someone to open the city gate, lead them to the residence, hot water porridge to save their lives, and then decide how to settle them after asking about the situation." ”

Of course, Hu Kuan didn't say anything, and immediately took his brothers from the battalion down to the city to carry out Hu Guang's order.

"Childe, I think this thing is unusual, I'm afraid there is something strange in it." Hu Hansan frowned and whispered to Hu Guang.

Of course Hu Guang knew, how did these people know that they could survive in Fugu County? Looking at their appearance, they didn't have any luggage, and they obviously came straight to Fugu County after being driven out of the village.

You have to ask about this in between!
