Zhu Youcheng was quite dissatisfied with the manufacturing progress of the arsenal, and after training, he took King Xin and Wei Liangqing, the captain of the guard, to inspect the arsenal.

When he came to this arsenal in a hidden location, the person in charge, Li Datie, greeted him.

Seeing Li striking iron, Zhu Youcheng asked again a word that he had asked countless times: "Master Li, is there really no way to cast a fire gun?" ”

Li Datie didn't shake his head like Yizhu this time, but took out an iron flower and said, "Lord Zhu asked this question repeatedly, so I gave it a try." See, this is a gun tube cast according to the same thickness, and when a gun is placed, the fire gun becomes like this. ”

Zhu Youcheng took a closer look at the iron flower on Li Datie's hand, God, what kind of iron flower is this, it is clearly a strange thing formed by twisting after a pipe bursts.

"Lord Zhu, if you want to make the cast gun tube not easy to burst, then its thickness should be like this......" Li Datie struggled to move a small cannon-shaped thing from a box.

Zhu Youcheng took the small cannon and felt his arm sink. Look at the muzzle, the size is the same as the diameter of the gun, but the thickness reaches an astonishing inch.

Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but exclaim: "Are you sure this is a fire gun, not a small cannon?" ”

"My lord, this is the thinnest thickness I have tested repeatedly."

Zhu Youcheng put down the small cannon, and said in his heart, without steel, it seems that there is no way to cast a fire gun. It is definitely useless to find Xu Guangqi in steelmaking, he is a great scientist, but he specializes in agriculture and does not know how to make steel. Alas, it's a pity that I can't. I knew I would be crossing, so I went to the steel mill for a year or two. However, in this era, Daming's casting technology should be leading the world. You can definitely make good steel, but the question is who should you turn to to help you make steel? By the way, there were two great scientists in the late Ming Dynasty, one was Xu Guangqi and the other was Song Yingxing.

Song Yingxing is a native of Yuanzhou Mansion, Jiangxi, and is known as an encyclopedic scientist, and more importantly. He failed many times in the imperial examination, and stayed in the position of lifting people all his life. It wasn't until the seventh year of Chongzhen that he was mixed into the post of Jiangxi Fenyi Teacher. From this point of view, he, like Feng Menglong and Ling Mengchu, is a very good talent to recruit.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhu Youcheng's face. Wei Liangqing saw the smile on his face. I knew I had to break my leg again. There is no way, there are many people present, but there are only four people who can call the shots, Zhu Youcheng, Xinwang, Li Datie, and one is himself. There are two people who seem to be idle at the scene, one is King Xin, and the other is himself. Zhu Youcheng didn't order himself to run errands, who else could he order?

Sure enough, Zhu Youcheng turned to him. said: "Captain Wei, you go to Wang Chengen to withdraw 2ooo silver yuan and go to Yuanzhou Mansion in Jiangxi." Looking for a person named Song Yingxing, he was allowed to take the position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and invited him to Jinyi Weixi Town Fusi. Remember, Mr. Song is talented, and when you invite him, you must be courteous and courteous. ”

King Xin asked curiously, "Great talent?" Could it be that Mr. Song also wrote some great books? ”

He is working on a masterpiece called "Heavenly Creations". I don't know if I'm done writing it now. ”

"Wow, "Heavenly Creation". Such a domineering title must be very exciting. Mr. Song is here, I must ask for advice. ”

From Beijing to Jiangxi, it takes a long time to come and go, and the matter of casting fire guns can only be put aside temporarily. Seeing the small cannon-like firecracker, Zhu Youcheng's heart moved, by the way, the cannon casting technology at the end of the Ming Dynasty was very high, and it happened that Xu Guangqi had been promoted to the left squire of the Ministry of Engineering, so he could ask him for a batch of infantry guns, which could be used no matter what enemy he was fighting.

Xu Guangqi taught King Xin for several years, and a deep teacher-student friendship was established between the two. Hearing that he was going to visit Mr. Xu, King Xin was very happy, and dragged Zhu Youcheng to the street to buy a lot, and then dragged a small half car of gifts and asked to see him.

Xu Guangqi was arguing with Sun Yuanhua. Sun Yuanhua asked Xu Guangqi to cast cannons to support Liaodong, but Xu Guangqi looked embarrassed and told him that the Ministry of Industry was not enough to get the funds for casting cannons.

It turned out that upon the recommendation of Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua had been promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, in charge of weapons manufacturing. Sun Yuanhua is a cannon maniac, and as soon as he took office, he vigorously advocated cannon casting. It's a pity that the finances at the end of the Ming Dynasty were tight and stretched, and even the officials couldn't come out quickly, so how could they have spare money to cast cannons. Sun Yuanhua was willing to cast a cannon hungry, but his Yulu couldn't even cast a cannon body. So every once in a while, he went to Xu Guangqi to ask for money.

Zhu Youcheng smiled slightly, Sun Yuanhua's pedantic spirit is very strong, although Xu Guangqi is the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, he doesn't care about money, so it's strange that he can get money.

"Mr. Chu Yang (Sun Yuanhua's cousin), don't worry, this official can give you the opportunity to cast a cannon."

"Really," Sun Yuanhua was overjoyed when he heard that there was an opportunity to cast a cannon, grabbed Zhu Youcheng's hand, and said, "Do you pay?" All you have to do is pay for it, and I'll make a good cannon. ”

"Of course, I will pay, I will pay double the money, and after you cast the cannon, send me half of the cannon."

"Master Zhu," Xu Guangqi said coldly, "You are also a gunsmith and a cannon, what is the idea of fighting, do you want to rebel?" ”

"That's right, I almost forgot, you're on the outskirts of Beijing, and the guns are all on hand, even if you capture the city of Beijing, it's not strange." Sun Yuanhua was awakened and added from the perspective of an expert.

"The emperor trusts me so much, should I rebel? Mr. Xu and Mr. Sun have been in Jingxi Huangzhuang for so long, and they should know that Jinyiwei is loyal to the current emperor, not me, Zhu. You have also read Mr. Liu's propaganda manuscript, but there is a sentence to praise Zhu? If you attack Beijing City, the first person Jinyiwei will kill is me. ”

After speaking, Zhu Youcheng added a few words in his heart: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the worst emperor in the feudal era, and the two ancestors - Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu were forced to become model workers, and they had to review the recital in the middle of the night. Later, there was a cabinet, so I didn't have to work overtime in the middle of the night, but the ensuing consequence was that the minister's power was too great, and the emperor was too aggrieved, and he had to bribe the minister to do some private affairs. Like Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty, he set up a prince and sent money to the minister. I'm stupid, don't let the retired Daming idle king do it, and grab that model worker and moral pacesetter to do it? ”

Xu Guangqi asked suspiciously, "Then why do you want Chuyang to cast a cannon for you?" ”

"Yes, yes." With Xu Guang starting his brain, Sun Yuanhua's IQ dropped sharply and became a repeater.

"That's what the emperor meant. Jingxi Huangzhuang was upgraded to Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Division, you know, but what you don't know is that the emperor secretly ordered Xizhen Fusi to expand the army to 30 thousand households, and there is also a medical care for 1,000 households. ”

"Put 30,000 elite soldiers on the outskirts of Beijing, what does the emperor think?"

"Yes, yes."

"Alas," Zhu Youcheng sighed, "The emperor is worried about Teacher Sun." The emperor ordered me to train the army, and if the situation in Liaodong reached an uncontrollable situation, let Xizhen Fusi break into Liaodong and rescue the Liaodong soldiers, especially Mr. Sun. ”

"The emperor is a benevolent king after all."

"Yes, yes."

"In order to achieve this purpose, Xizhen Fusi needs a batch of infantry artillery."

Xu Guangqi didn't speak, Sun Yuanhua's IQ recovered, and asked, "What is an infantry artillery?" ”

"The so-called infantry guns are light artillery pieces with two wheels that can be pushed by a single soldier, with a range of more than 4oo paces, and can be loaded with both solid iron shells and flowering shells. Loaded with solid iron bullets, which were used to strike at enemy blocking positions or city gates; Reload the Blossom Shell and use it to kill and injure enemy troops in a large area. In the past, the Ming Dynasty fixed artillery on the city wall and used it to defend the city, which was really a bit overkill. ”

Sun Yuanhua groaned: "I don't see it, although Lord Zhu has never fought, his use of artillery is superb. You have a problem for me, it turns out that most of the cannons I cast are used to defend the city, so I don't have to think about the weight at all, only the range. But Lord Zhu asked that the cannon could move, so the weight should not be too heavy, but the weight of the gun was ......."

Leaving Sun Yuanhua alone to think about the cannon casting, Zhu Youcheng, King Xin and Xu Guangqi chatted.

"Lord Zhu, what have you been busy with lately?"

"Training, you also know that the soldiers of Xizhen Fusi have not experienced the battlefield, so now we focus on training the soldiers."

King Xin interjected and told Zhu Youcheng's devilish training method, and Xu Guangqi heard it with a sigh.

After a while, the servant brought a strange plate of food.

When Zhu Youcheng saw this kind of food, he couldn't help but stand up in surprise and grabbed the things on the plate.

He held the food and laughed wildly, laughing as he said, "Haha, I finally found you, I finally found you!" (To be continued)
