In a flash, it was October, more than four months have passed since the assassination of Zou Weijian, and during this time, Buchen not only took over the mill and transformed it into a stamping workshop, but also successfully contacted the buyers of excess equipment through Dongfang Qinxin's line. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The buyer is a brown-clothed businessman, who has been doing business in the capital of the eastern country all the year round, and after seeing the samples provided by Buchen, he immediately placed an order very happily, not only bought a lot of armor knives and guns produced in the Buchen factory, but also bought a lot of good steel ingots, which made Buchen very happy, after all, his heavy industry finally began to return to its original cost!

Dongfang Qinxin is still in her Caixian Building as an Oiran, and did not accept Emperor Yun's kindness to enter the palace as a concubine, but this made Emperor Yun very unhappy, so since Yu Xiaolong's case was settled, he ran towards Dongfang Qinxin in three days and two ends, so that the Dongfang girl who had changed her mind was all kinds of annoyance, and when she saw Buchen, she asked when she would take her away and fly away, so that Buchen often cried and laughed.

At the same time, Buchen's harem finally learned of Dongfang Qinxin's existence, so under Fei Fei's leadership, Buchen's confidants organized a group to go to Caixian Tower to meet Dongfang Qinxin, Buchen was not present at the time, but even if it was imagined, he could guess how hot the scene was at that time, but fortunately, he later heard that Dongfang Qinxin was not killed or disabled, so he relieved his heart.

The progress of artillery is also very gratifying, following the pig iron cannon, the craftsmen of the Buchen factory have made persistent efforts to develop an all-steel cannon, and the caliber of the cannon has been further improved, from the original twelve-pounder cannon to the twenty-four-pounder gun, and because of the replacement of toughness and elasticity are far beyond the pig iron steel, the outer wall of the cannon is thinner than before, and the relative is the drop in weight, and now the weight of the twenty-four-pounder cannon is only a little more than three tons, although it is still a smoothbore gun, However, the power and battlefield adaptability are much stronger than the previous artillery.

In fact, in Buchen's previous life, even if the twenty-four-pounder cannon was installed on a sail battleship as the main firepower output, it was actually enough, and it was overkill to put it in his manor, but Buchen was not satisfied, he was a big ship and a giant gunner, and now since he can't build a big ship, he can build a giant cannon! So after the development of the 24-pounder cannon was completed, the craftsmen immediately devoted themselves to the development of the 48-pounder cannon!

At the same time, Buchen also rebuilt his manor, thickened and heightened the wall, reaching the level of an ordinary small county town, and used a fortress layout that is said to be very conducive to defense and has no firepower dead ends, and set up dense artillery on it, and mobilized the families of all the workers in the manor, regardless of men, women, and children, to carry out militarized training, specializing in artillery loading and release, after all the work was done, Buchen estimated that even if Emperor Yun sent all the forbidden troops in the capital to crusade against him, If you don't die, more than 100,000 people will never want to take down his little castle.

In addition, Buchen did not forget his stamping workshop on Jiangxin Island, and after a lot of effort to transport a lot of artillery to it, this small Jiangxin Island has also become a very strong fortress.

At this point, Buchen can finally sleep peacefully.

One day after lunch, in the courtyard outside the bedroom, Buchen and his companions were gathering.

"Lao You, what do you think our nest is missing now?" Buchen asked with a frown.

Lao You was drinking tea, and when he heard Buchen's words, he almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, he coughed twice, looked at Buchen with a strange expression and asked, "Still missing?" I think if I bring military horses to trouble you, even if everyone dies, I won't be able to fill up this fortress of yours for a single star! ”

Hearing Lao You's words, Buchen almost laughed out loud, fortress? Is that an exaggeration?

Seeing the disapproving smile on Buchen's face, Xue also smiled bitterly and said: "Buchen, you have equipped this manor with more than 300 cannons, and you have also rebuilt the wall with almost no defensive corners, even if our blood clan comes to attack, it will definitely not be able to enter before you run out of ammunition." ”

Buchen put away his smile, Xue has always had something to say, even she said so, it seems that her fortress is really awesome.

It's just that Xue's words haven't finished yet: "But if you really want to talk about shortcomings, there is one too." ”

"Oh? What is it? Buchen hurriedly asked.

"There are too few people on the defensive, and most of them are old and weak, women and children, and if you fight for a long time, you will definitely be dragged down."

Hearing Xue's words, Buchen's brows furrowed, and it was said that there were indeed too few people under his hands. It's just that if you want to increase the number of people, he is a little uneasy, the people of Wushan are simple, if you treat him well, he will repay you wholeheartedly, and the people in the hinterland of the east are not good, but all the small citizens who grew up in the big city, that knowledge is not comparable to the people in the border areas, the main thing is to live in the heart, no matter how good you are to him, it is difficult for him to die for you.

"You can't force brainwash them with some kind of doctrine, right? So who have I become? "Buchen thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't think of a solution.

And his partners are also at a loss, Lao You put forward a plan to recruit some people from Wushan, but was vetoed by Ai Ai, the question she raised is very realistic, with these strong men leading the team, when from the four towns of Wushan to the east of the capital are full of dangers, was attacked several times by the armed forces of the displaced people along the road, if it is directly recruited from the four towns of Wushan, how to ensure the safety along the way?

"Ai Ai is right! It is not feasible to recruit people from the four towns of Oshan. Buchen said with a frown.

"Those homeless people are pitiful, and they are not small citizens, why don't we recruit some from them?" Ai Ai also proposed a plan.

This time it was Lao You's turn to veto: "Maybe these people echoed our request before, but now they can't, you don't know the horror of the rogue armament, anyone who is coerced into it, no matter what it was before, will eventually become a beast in human skin, use such a person as a henchman, we don't know when they will be sold!" ”

"So what are we going to do?" Fei Fei asked angrily, this one doesn't work, that one doesn't work, she is a little annoyed.

"Forget it, let's put this problem down for now, and then find a way to solve it later." After thinking hard to no avail, Buchen could only make a decision like this.

The crowd fell silent.

"By the way, Henry, I want to say, haven't we been a little too noticeable lately?" After a while, Ai Ai broke the silence.

"That's right, it's rebuilding the manor again, it's selling equipment, and you often run to the emperor's concubine, even if the rule of the Eastern Imperial Court is very sloppy, you should find out about our existence, right?" Fei Fei echoed with a stinky face.

"It's nothing to rebuild the wall, outsiders don't know what the iron pipe on the wall is, I also asked Brother Li to compare them with other manors when they repair the wall, don't do taboo things, now this height and thickness is the level of a small border county, and it is completely within the tolerance range of the Eastern Imperial Court. As for selling equipment, this is indeed a bit too much, and those who don't know think that we robbed the arsenal of the imperial court! Buchen smiled bitterly and said, as for Fei Fei's accusation that he often went to Dongfang Qinxin's place, he directly ignored it.

"We can't help it, so many things can't be thrown in the warehouse to rust, right?" Xue said helplessly, in the past few months, they have produced five or six thousand sets of high-quality all-steel plate armor, and there are even more weapons, and there are forty or fifty thousand pieces of all kinds of weapons, which is still the result of only half of the production capacity. And compared with similar products in the outside world, the equipment they produce is simply an artifact, it is all-steel plate armor, can people who used to use steel on the blade imagine? And those swords, with other wrought iron knives on the market now, can cut off the other party in half when touched, this is simply too perverted!

"Let's sell a lot of equipment like this, if it doesn't attract attention, unless the people in the whole capital division are blind!" In the end, Lao You summed up with a calm face.

Buchen shrugged his shoulders, well, another difficult thing.

"It doesn't take long for powerful people to come to the door." Ai Ai said with an ugly face.

"We're not afraid to come hard!" Fei Fei Dao.

Xue smiled faintly, isn't this an obvious thing, so many cannons are placed there, and the forbidden army of Jeonbuk Ancheng will also return with a collective dispatch!

"But if we beat each other away, they should give us a hat, right? For example, anti-thieves or something? "Lao You Dao, to be honest, he is still a little looking forward to this result, because in this way, Buchen will have to rebel, and defeat the forbidden army, and then attack Bei'an Mansion, and restore the Seventeenth Dynasty seems to be a matter of course......

The corners of Buchen's mouth twitched, and he glared at Lao You and said, "Are you thinking about something strange?" ”

"No, no!" Lao You hurriedly waved his hand, so he wouldn't admit it.

"But if we don't fight, they'll think we're afraid of them, and they'll be even more aggressive, right?" The snow is already going crazy.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about this again!" In the end, Buchen had to sacrifice again with a bitter face.
