Although the flintlock pistol is a rarity, but it is not much advanced, Lu Haoshan knows that in Europe, the research on the flintlock pistol has been carried out and achieved good results, in terms of research and development, the Ming Dynasty has fallen too far behind, not to mention anything else, that is, taking the cannon as an example, the most powerful now, or the "Hongyi Cannon" from Europe, the Ming Dynasty is also lagging behind in the casting of the cannon.

If possible, directly get out of the heavy machine gun, put a few dozen meters apart, and let the Houjin Tartar come to die one by one, the problem is that it is very unrealistic, not to mention that Lu Haoshan does not know anything about these, even if there is a design drawing, it is difficult to achieve, the more advanced the weapon, the higher the requirements, not to mention, it is possible that a small spring can become an insurmountable obstacle, because these have high requirements for elasticity, toughness and metal fatigue, and the technology of the Ming Dynasty cannot be achieved at all.

The emergence and application of new things must be supported by new materials or new technologies.

The level of science and technology in the Ming Dynasty is far from reaching this Cheng dù, from the bird system to the backfill flintlock pistol, this is already a qualitative leap, Lu Haoshan is not greedy, in the previous life as a generation of craft masters, this awareness and skills Lu Haoshan still has, now facing is unarmed, untrained ordinary people, but in the future to face the battle-tested, well-trained Houjin Iron Cavalry, how can you have a little bit of a box of things, the two started too far apart, the current Houjin Iron Cavalry, it can be said that the invincible opponent in the world, And the soldiers under Lu Haoshan are still in the training stage.

Millions of family wealth, not as good as a skill, the ancestor said this is too right, in the previous life Lu Haoshan saved hundreds of millions of family wealth, there are more than 20 properties all over the country, luxury cars, mansions, beauties can be said to be readily available, to the Ming Dynasty, those can not help, rely on survival and development, or those crafts in the previous life.

It's not easy.

Sigh over. Lu Haoshan patted Xu Xiang's shoulder lightly and said: "Okay, Master Xu, in the future, this workshop will be handed over to you to take care of, and the people here are under your control, you have to teach them well and teach them to build muskets, but the research of new muskets can't be stopped, the official can wait, but you can't delay, you can give you what you want." As long as you do your job well, your family will take good care of them for you. ”

Rome was not built in a day, and Lu Haoshan did not expect Xu Xiang to get a new musket for himself tomorrow, fortunately, it is now the fifth year of Chongzhen, if there is no great deviation in history, the Ming Dynasty can still delay for more than ten years, with such a trend, he will have another three to five development periods. With his own shrewdness and ability, it is not a problem to build a strong teacher who dominates the world.

"Yes, sir." Xu Xiang knew that he had no better choice, so he responded with great interest.

Lu Haoshan nodded. After a few more words, he left the secret workshop with Li Nian.

has just gotten married, and I have to accompany Lin Yuexuan a little more, and some guests haven't left yet. You can't be slack off in being reasonable, so as not to provoke criticism, of course. Those are mostly relatives and friends of the Lin family.

"Dong Weng, there is one thing, I don't know whether to say it or not." On the way back, Li Nian suddenly spoke.

"Say, Mr. Li, between you and me, there is no need to hide anything, just say what you want."

Li Nian responded, and then whispered: "Dengzhou is broken." ”

"Dengzhou, Shandong? When was this? Lu Haoshan said in surprise.

Dengzhou belongs to the Shandong Peninsula and belongs to the political envoy of Shandong, and in 1376 set up a government and governed Penglai. It has jurisdiction over Ninghai Prefecture, Penglai County, Huang County, Fushan County, Qixia County, Zhaoyuan County, Laiyang County and Wendeng County. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Denglai was set up here, and the governor of Denglai, Yuan Keli, had trained the sailors here, and Denglai became an important town for customs defense, which was a strategic focus, like the materials transported to Jinzhou and Ningyuan, most of them were transported through Guò Dengzhou, because there was no sailor in Houjin, and the loss of Dengzhou would definitely cause the imperial court to shake.

"It is said that on the third day of the first lunar month, the rebel general Kong Youde captured Dengzhou City, killed several officials and gentry, and the governor Sun Yuanhua and the superintendent Wang Zheng, the prefect Wu Weicheng, the same knowledge Jia Mingjie, and Qin Shiying, the county governor of Penglai, all let him arrest him, which is simply the opposite." Li Nian said with some emotion.

What happened in the first month of the new year has only now been reported here?

Lu Haoshan thought about it, with the efficiency of ancient times, there is nothing strange, many things are covered really can't be covered before they are reported, Shaanxi mob disaster is a precedent, Chongzhen in order to save money, a large number of cuts in post stations also make the transmission efficiency of intelligence much worse than before, to the imperial court, it is estimated that it will have to be controversial, and it will be passed to Lu Haoshan's ears as soon as it comes and goes, and the daylily is cold.

If it is a good thing, it is estimated that it will soon appear in Ye Bao, but now that the Ming Dynasty is embattled, these things naturally choose not to board or to do less, and they all say that good things do not go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, but Daming does the opposite.

Lu Haoshan sighed and said helplessly: "It's eventful, but for the emperor, these are already used to it." ”

Li Nian analyzed: "Dong Weng, the Liaodong front has not yet been stabilized, the bandits in Shaanxi and Shanxi have not been exterminated, and now this incident has appeared in Dengzhou, and the imperial court may have to transfer troops to pacify, so the opportunity to come to Dong Weng to go out of Sichuan has come." ”

Han Wendeng took the initiative to ask for troops to go out of Sichuan to suppress bandits, Chongzhen Longyan Dayue, and issued an order to reward Han Wendeng, but the courtiers should not let the Sichuan soldiers out of Sichuan are arguing endlessly, and they have been arguing endlessly, and they have not yet reached a conclusion, this is mainly about the conflict of interests, and these Lu Haoshan are not in a hurry, and what we have to do now is to develop.

"Let it be natural, with our identity, we are powerless to influence the outcome, and training the soldiers in our hands is the right way." Lu Haoshan squinted his eyes and said.

"It's still Dong Weng calm" Li Nian nodded and said: "It's okay, it's chaotic elsewhere, so that the attention is not here, just make a fortune in a muffled voice." ”

Lu Haoshan smiled, no longer asked this question, and asked, "How is the blast furnace running?" ”

"The first pot of molten iron was leaked yesterday, and it is still condensing, but the old craftsman of the iron smelting said that when he looked at the fineness, he knew that it was definitely good iron, and the student still wanted to have a result before reporting to Dong Weng, but I didn't expect Dong Weng to keep this in mind."

Can you not remember it? Lu Haoshan still wants to rely on those good iron to cast good guns and cannons, so when the blast furnace is built, he takes time to inspect and guide every day, and he is looking for coal and ore, but fortunately, the official position of the head of a thousand households has brought Lu Haoshan a lot of convenience, and when he heard that the first furnace of molten iron has been successfully smelted, he was in a good mood: "Yes, the supervision of those craftsmen cannot be relaxed." The treatment should be good, the supervision should be strict, and we must not be careless. ”

"Dong Weng, they will definitely not be able to escape, the students are ready." Li Nian said confidently.

Lu Haoshan asked with interest: "Oh, then tell me what preparations you have." ”

"Every morning and evening, the number of people will be counted, not only a lot of open posts and secret posts are arranged around, but also a rapid response scout brigade has been established, and a perfect flying pigeon intelligence network, even if they have wings, it is difficult for them to fly. In addition, the second lady also thought of a brilliant method. ”

Lin Yuexuan also came up with a good way, and Lu Haoshan asked curiously, "Oh, what solution did Xuan'er think of?" ”

Li Nian took two steps closer and said in a low voice: "My lord, these craftsmen only care about work on weekdays, their clothes are washed by the maids, and the second lady makes a kind of herb called Bai Xinzi infiltrate the rinsing water, which has a unique and light smell. They don't attract attention, but they dare to run away, and wherever they run, the usually trained dogs can quickly find them. ”

Is that okay? It's a shrewd approach. Lu Haoshan nodded with satisfaction, it is really much easier to have a shrewd and steady military advisor, but Lu Haoshan is not like them, and there is chaos outside. Full of dangers, it is good to eat, live and be safe here, and it is difficult to find it with lanterns. Stay here like a guest, you won't eat when you go out, maybe you will starve to death, even a fool will calculate.

"Yes, if you keep an eye on these things, I will focus on training the new army, and you and I will definitely achieve great things if we cooperate sincerely." Lu Haoshan said with confidence.

"The proprietor is far-sighted, and the students must do their best, but the east is the first to look forward." Li Nian said as he solemnly saluted Lu Haoshan.

Lu Haoshan helped him up and said, "Mr. Li, don't be polite, you know that the official doesn't like this, okay, let's go to the scout camp to see how those little guys are trained." ”

I wanted to go home, but seeing that it was still early, Lu Haoshan temporarily decided to go to Li Dingguo and them to train.

"Yes, Host"

The scout camp is set up in the mountains behind the thousand households, after integration, Lu Haoshan distributed and trained the soldiers of the thousand households, plus the people recruited from outside, the number is about 3,000 people, the actual number is three times the rated number, a guard station must not be able to train, not to mention that other guards also need garrisons, Lu Haoshan scattered people in various guards for training, and conducted joint training and competition from time to time, forming a kind of healthy competition, in order to enhance their sense of honor, they gave up the name of the original hundred households, and named their own, like the Flying Eagle Battalion and the Shanzi Battalion, Bear and Leopard Battalion and other names are given by the captain to which they belong, but these soldiers are usually managed by the deputy captain.

Because all the captains are concentrated in the most elite scout battalions for rigorous training.

The name given by Li Dingguo of the Flying Eagle Battalion to his team, the Shanzi Battalion is the name given by Dashan to his team, the Bear and Leopard Battalion is the name given by Sun Xiong to his team, Lu Haoshan gave them the right to name them, and the scout battalion was given by Lu Haoshan, because Lu Haoshan is the captain of the scout battalion, directly commanding the most elite troops, and this scout battalion is Lu Haoshan's personal soldiers.

The most elite troops must be in their own hands.

"Hold on, quick, run for me."

"Hold on, don't drag your companions down."

"Quick, quick, fast"

In the simple training ground, the members of the scout camp are sweating and training, in a group of three, carrying a thick log to run back and forth, this is the training project set by Lu Haoshan, training the endurance, load capacity and cooperation ability of the team members, those logs are newly chopped, each one is about seven or eight meters long, weighing hundreds of pounds, it is not an easy thing to run, these teenage boys, one by one, bare-chested, gritted teeth and training wholeheartedly, no one said bitter, no one said tired, and no one gave up lightly.

For them, it is their pride and honor to be in this scout camp with the highest honors, and they have to defend this honor.

The members of the scout battalion inadvertently saw their captain Lu Haoshan suddenly appear to the side to watch, and they trained more energetically one by one. (To be continued......)
