Li Jinao and the three of them ascended to the sky in one step, naturally they were grateful to Dade and worked extra hard. Li Jinao immediately asked for an order to go to Shandong, summoned the old Cao Gang, and established an intelligence system in accordance with Gu Zhenhua's requirements.

Gu Zhenhua was also extraordinarily generous, allocating 100,000 taels of silver to them as funds, and also selected 20 of the most capable players from the pro-military camp to them, which not only enhanced their strength, but also played a supervisory role.

After this chess piece was ambushed, Gu Zhenhua was also full of ambition, arranging people and horses, preparing to increase the attack on Wu Sangui and force the big traitor to take the initiative to fight.

After all, they are still mainly cavalry, if they don't want to fight, it will be too difficult for An**'s infantry to pursue, and it is best to bring them to the preset position to give a fatal blow.

Just when Gu Zhenhua was reorganizing the army, a huge convoy came from Guide, with five or six hundred carriages, and the one in charge of leading the team was Ge Jiangshi. Since following Gu Zhenhua, although the work has been several times busier, the other treatment is simply the bottom of the Tianshan Mountain.

The old man has now been promoted to the head of the Military Industry Department, a seven-grade official with eight years of experience, dressed in a blue court uniform, which is very incompatible with his dark face and rough big hands, and even a bit of a monkey.

However, as long as Master Ge is not working, he puts on his official uniform, has nothing to do, and walks around. The family also persuaded the old man not to get too carried away. How do you know that Old Man Ge slapped his chest loudly, a seventh-grade official is not enough to see, one day, the old man will wear a big red robe!

The wife couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Just the bones of your house sparrow, you still think about the red robe." Don't take good care of your old face, are you worthy? ”

How do you know that Master Ge glared at him: "Old woman, what do you know." Believe it or not, when I got to Grandpa Guo, he promised to promote me by another level! ”

It is not unreasonable for Master Ge to have this self-confidence, he sent a total of 2,000 firecrackers to Gu Zhenhua this time, as well as twenty Franc cannons and five red-coated cannons.

These metallic firearms were transported to the front, and the generals were all red-eyed. An ** has long regarded firearms as the key to victory. Now that there are so many people, Master Ge has suddenly become the focus of attention.

Gu Zhenhua was even more overjoyed, and he picked up a firecracker. If you look closely, the barrel is cleanly polished, and it is very thick and even, and the trigger is also flexible. At first glance, it is a good gun.

"Master Ge Craftsman. I remember the last time you told me that it was very difficult to drill holes for firecrackers, and even if there was a hydraulic drilling machine, it would take six days. Now, it's only a little over two months, how can you build so many firecrackers, is it because you have built hundreds of drilling machines? ”

"Hahaha, Grandpa Guo, the hydraulic drilling machine is not so easy to build. A better way was used. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Master Ge said with a smile: "In the past, to make a fire gun, you had to build a cast iron pipe first. Then drill the hole with a drill, which is time-consuming and laborious. Just after your last inspection, I was drinking with a Western missionary, and this guy said that he had leaked his mouth and told me that there was an easier way to make a gun. After all kinds of interrogation, it finally became clear that when they were making the gun, they first made a steel rod, which was slightly thinner than the muzzle of the gun. Then it is directly wrapped in wrought iron on the barrel and forged into a barrel. ”

Listening to Master Ge's words, Zhou Yingjie couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ge, is there any benefit to doing this?" ”

"Of course, there are too many benefits, eliminating the welding process, the barrel is not easy to explode, and after having a steel core, the barrel is straighter, more uniform, and it takes less time to drill the barrel, and the operation is also simpler, and some ordinary craftsmen can take one or two little apprentices to make firearms." Master Ge said with great pride.

Gu Zhenhua looked at it carefully, and then asked, "Master Ge, is there no flaw in the fire gun made in this way?" ”

"Grandpa Guo is wise, there is indeed a bit of a problem, the effective range is probably not as good as the original, only about seventy steps. We are studying whether to improve the iron material, increase the charge, and make up for the range. ”

Zhou Yingjie shook his head instead: "Seventy steps is about the same, whether there is or not, it is more important than whether it is good or not!" ”

Xie Bin also hurriedly said: "That's right, Grandpa Guo, the firecrackers we originally brought out from the capital are almost the same, and when we were training the new army two days ago, two firecrackers exploded, and the soldiers were injured in their arms and chests. The old guns should be eliminated as soon as possible and replaced with new ones. ”

"It doesn't matter if the range is short, don't we still have artillery!" Gao Hongtu said with a smile: "Now that there are so many artillery pieces here, I will first bomb the Tartars into confusion!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.

"That's good, Master Ge, now put the quantity first, Guide retains a part of the craftsmen, Kaifeng must also have a workshop, supply and fight nearby, and Nanyang should also step up, and the three parties will produce together, is there enough manpower at the moment?"

"Grandpa Guo, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem." Master Ge said confidently: "The humble position has been divided in detail according to the mention of Grandpa Guo, and some steps can be handed over to the apprentice, and a good craftsman focuses on the key links." ”

Saying that, Master Ge grabbed a firebolt and sent it to Gu Zhenhua, pointed to the side of the butt and said: "Grandpa Guo has seen it, this piece has the name of the craftsman who made the firecracker, and on the other side is the number of the inspectors, check at all levels, as long as there is a problem, you can chase it to the end." ”

"Good!" Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "The quality is the soldier's raw rice, you can't be sloppy in this pass, you have done a good job." ”

Yue Poyu also squeezed over at this time, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Ge, are all the Lu Mi guns you are transporting, and there are no self-generated fire guns, but our cavalry needs self-generated fire guns!" ”

When Master Ge heard this, he patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, if you really want to sue Grandpa Sù, we will solve the problem of the spring!" ”

"Solved? How? Gu Zhenhua suddenly showed a look of ecstasy.

Don't look at the spring is inconspicuous, but this kind of small thing is a great test of industrial strength, whether it is the material, or the processing technology, it is indispensable. Even in the late Qing Dynasty, China still had to import a large amount of spring steel.

Master Ge's old face smiled, "Grandpa Guo, speaking of which, the means are still a bit inferior." ”

"I don't care if I can do it or not, I just need enough firecrackers!"

"Speaking of the springs we produce, we have not been able to produce them, but it was not until we saw Western table clocks and pocket watches that we realized that these Yi people had mastered the technology of producing springs. Later, he knocked on the side of the missionaries and brought them food and wine, and finally knocked on the mouth of a man who said that he could make clocks and watches. He finally handed over the formula of the spring steel, and told him how to make it, and we have already made two hundred springs, and in a few months, a large number of self-generated fires will be sent to the front line! ”

"TMD, there are a lot of good things in this gang of Yiren, it seems that they should all be arrested, tortured well, and squeeze out all the bezoar dog treasures!" Yue Poyu said viciously.

Gu Zhenhua waved his hand instead, "Master Ge, compared to intelligence, when did our Celestial Empire lag behind a group of barbarians?" At present, the military situation is urgent, so I won't say anything, but you must step up your research and make up for the backward places, especially firearms, and you must catch up with them and cross the west! ”

Master Ge hurriedly nodded: "Rest assured, Grandpa Guo, I will do my best." ”

After receiving a large number of firearms, Gu Zhenhua was extremely happy, and directly upgraded the Military Industry Department to become a five-grade yamen, which directly belonged to the Quartermaster Department and was under the unified management of Xia Shouli. Ge Craftsman, including other meritorious officials, all have different rewards.

There was also a group of people from the Military Music Division who came with Master Ge, but they were relatively low-key, Liu Ruyi, Li Xiangjun and they were all dressed in green clothes and hats, and they didn't alarm anyone, and went directly to Gu Zhenhua's temporary mansion.

After Gu Zhenhua arranged the craftsman Ge, he returned to the mansion, and it happened that they were all waiting in the mansion, and in the middle of everyone, there was a beautiful woman sitting with a pink neck, not saying a word.

When Gu Zhenhua saw it, he was taken aback, and hurriedly walked a few steps to the front of the beauty.

"Madame, why are you here?"

Mei Junruo glanced at Gu Zhenhua, and suddenly tears flowed, and she hugged Gu Zhenhua's neck.

"Zhenhua, you've lost weight!" A thousand words, in the end, if Mei Jun only said one sentence, she couldn't cry.

"It's okay, I'm as strong as an ox, but as soon as I get busy, the battles are one after another, and I have no effort!"

Just as their little lover was hugging each other, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside. Mei Junruo hurriedly pushed Gu Zhenhua away, but Gu Zhenhua stubbornly held her hand.

"What are you afraid of, isn't Benjue's wife unsightly?"

At this moment, Wu Youke happened to walk in. The old man's eyes were still red, but his spirit was extraordinarily sufficient.

"It's done!"

As soon as they met, Wu Youke said excitedly: "In the past, everyone was a plague and a beast, although there were many prescriptions for treatment, but I didn't know why. When I got to the old man, it was my first glimpse of the door. ”

Saying that, Wu Youke laughed: "Chaowen said, Xi Ke died." Rejoice! ”

"Master, why are you here?"

Seeing Wu Youke, Mei Junruo couldn't help but exclaim, Wu Youke couldn't help but rub his eyes, and was also surprised: "You, aren't you Miss Junruo?" ”

"Exactly, Mr. has been absent for many years, and the disciple really misses you!"

Mei Junruo said that all kinds of blessings, Wu Youke hurriedly picked her up, and at the moment when she held her hand, Wu Youke suddenly grabbed Mei Junruo's wrist like crazy, and pulled her clothes up, revealing her white jade wrist.

"Old man Wu, what do you want to do? Junruo is my wife. "I can endure other things, how can Gu Zhenhua endure this kind of thing, Gu Zhenhua grabbed Wu Youke's arm.

"Wife? Did you know that she has? Wu Youke asked with a glare. (To be continued......)
