In the middle of the barracks was a warehouse of supplies and grain, with hundreds of large tents, surrounded by huge fences, very well guarded, Fanning was the first time to come to this warehouse, and the official who accompanied him to inspect the warehouse was called Yan Jing, a civilian soldier, who held the position of treasurer.

The two came to a big tent, Yan Jing showed a command arrow to the guard, turned back to Fan Ning and said, "Fan Yushi, this is the firearms storehouse!" ”

On the night of the night of the natives' night attack on the military camp two days ago, Fanning saw the firearms of the Song army for the first time, which made him quite interested.

Fan Ning followed Yan Jing into the gunpowder warehouse, this expedition with not many firearms, after all, will not encounter a powerful enemy, each firearm only brought dozens of pieces, at most is a fire mine, that is, the porcelain fire thunder launched the day before yesterday, the size of the porcelain fire thunder is like a tea can, weighing about two or three catties, flat and round, with a porcelain hat on it, the porcelain hat is the fire rope, and the porcelain hat must be pulled out to ignite the fire rope.

In addition to the porcelain fire thunder, there are several paper fire mines next to it, which are made of bamboo and weave a shelf, and the outside is pasted with more than a dozen layers of paper, but whether it is a porcelain fire mine or a paper fire mine, the lethality is not strong, and there is almost no shock wave when it explodes, so it hurts people by the iron nails and porcelain pieces that burst out when it explodes.

"Why isn't there an Iron Fire Thunderbolt?" Fanning asked back.

Yan Jing smiled bitterly, "Of course, the Iron Fire Thunder is the best, the imperial court offered a reward for making the Iron Fire Thunder ten years ago, and the bonus has been increased to 20,000 yuan, but so far, no one has been able to make it." ”

Fan Ning suddenly remembered what Di Qing had said to him at the beginning, 'In addition to offering a reward for making a strong crossbow, the imperial court also offered a reward for making firearms. Is the weapon of the bounty the iron fire and thunder?

At the beginning, Fan Ning was so focused on the divine arm crossbow that he never considered the issue of firearms, in fact, he also knew that the development of firearms ran through the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and the development of the shape of firearms still changed with the change of gunpowder.

For example, from the initial paper fire thunder slowly evolved into pottery fire thunder and porcelain fire thunder, this is the reason for the continuous improvement of the power of gunpowder, the early gunpowder can not open the porcelain bottle, but also mainly plays a burning role, frightening the enemy's war horses and so on.

Now that firearms have been developed for nearly a hundred years, and the power of gunpowder is constantly improving, it has been able to blow up heavy porcelain bottles.

Of course, Fanning knew that at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Gang had already used iron fire mines when he was guarding Tokyo, but it was very unstable, and there were often squibs, which showed that the formula problem had been solved, but the quality of gunpowder was not good enough, and the squibs were caused by burning and not replenishing.

By the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the war once again spurred the development of gunpowder technology, and finally it was able to cause a powerful earth-shattering thunder, which was very powerful.

It is recorded in the history books that 'the iron pot contains medicine, and it is lit with fire, and the cannon starts a fire, and its sound is like thunder, and it smells hundreds of miles away, and it is surrounded by half an acre, and the fire is lit and the armor and iron are all penetrated. '

That is, the killing distance is three hundred square meters, and near the explosion point, the iron armor is penetrated by fragments.

In fact, this is not the most powerful earth-shaking thunder, the earth-shaking thunder used in the battle of the Song and Yuan dynasties has been close to the power of explosives, a thunder blew up the city wall, and the soldiers within hundreds of zhang around were shocked to death.

If you just solve the gunpowder formula, it is very simple, Fanning can now come up with the formula of black powder in later generations, the key is how to improve the quality of gunpowder, such as the size of particles, an iron can the size of a wine jar, and how to ensure that the gunpowder inside is fully burned and bursts out with maximum power?

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the burning speed, otherwise, the gunpowder will explode after only half of the burning, and the remaining black powder will be wasted, which will require trial and error again to find the best solution.

It's just a pity that this expedition didn't bring gunpowder raw materials, otherwise he could have experimented with it.

At this moment, the guards beckoned at the door, Yan Jing walked out, and came back to Fan Ning after a while: "Di Shuai sent someone to find Fan Yushi!" ”

Fan Ning was stunned, then put down the porcelain fire thunder in his hand, and walked out quickly, there was a soldier standing outside the warehouse door, it was Di Qing's personal soldier, he saw Fan Ning come out, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Qi Fan Yushi, Di Shuai invites you to the big tent, there is something important." ”

"What happened?" Fanning asked.

"It seems that the natives from the north are here, and they want to negotiate peace with us!"

This news made Fanning very happy, this is also the result he is most looking forward to, in fact, anything can be talked about, and it doesn't have to be killed, Fanning walked quickly towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent of the Chinese army sat a dozen natives cross-legged, with unkempt beards, dressed in animal skins, with timid eyes and nervous expressions, one of them could speak Japanese, and there were also officials in the Song army who could speak Japanese, so that they could communicate with each other.

At this time, Fan Ning walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, and Zhao Zongshi hurriedly greeted him and said: "This is the natives of the northwest tribe, they want to negotiate with us, and hope that the two sides will be safe." ”

Fanning smiled and said, "Aren't these natives full of hatred for us? How did you come up with the idea of negotiating? ”

"I talked to them for a while just now, they and the Northeast tribe are small tribes, the two tribes together are less than a thousand people, ten years ago from a big island in the north, it should be Sakhalin Island, usually often bullied and oppressed by the peninsula tribes, half of the harvested food has to be handed over, women are also plundered by the other party, this time we wiped out the peninsula tribes, they are both happy and afraid, I hope we can allow them to stay on Maoren Island."

This result was beyond Fanning's expectations, and he thought for a moment and asked, "You said they moved from Sakhalin, why did they move here?" ”

"You can ask them directly!"

Fan Ning nodded, stepped forward and hugged his fists and saluted, and an interpreter next to him said a few words in Japanese, and the other party's translator also told a group of people, and more than a dozen people quickly got up and saluted Fan Ning.

Fan Ning saw that there was no fierceness in their eyes, most of them were kind and timid, and they were completely different from the natives on the peninsula, and Fan Ning also had a good impression of them.

He waved his hand and invited everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are from the big island in the north, why did you come to Maoren Island?" ”

After translating, one of the chief-looking men muttered a few words, and the Song Dynasty translator said to Fan Ning: "They say that it is too cold over there and there is little food, but it is much warmer on Maoren Island, but they are often oppressed by people here, women are robbed, and life is also very sad." ”

Fanning found that although they were also very short, they were still slightly different from the appearance of the natives here, not as black as the natives here, and the contours of their faces were more obvious, and their appearance had a little Khitan characteristics.

Fanning remembered a saying that although they were both Ainu and had similar living habits, the Ainu people in Hokkaido migrated from the islands of Southeast Asia, but the Ainu people in Sakhalin Island were a branch of the Black Water Turtle, called the Kushubu, which seems to have migrated to Sakhalin during the Sui and Tang dynasties.

At this time, Di Qing said beside him: "Fan Yushi, they said that the Mao people on the Japanese side are also very fierce, and they will not tolerate them moving over, they hope to stay on Maoren Island, and Zhao Yuanjun and I also think it's okay, these people are very simple and kind, completely different from the previous natives, and they will help us to go north to Sakhalin Island in the future, what do you say?" ”

Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "Then let them become the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the captured women and children can be given to them, our conditions should be good." ”

The translator said what Fan Ning meant, and the eyes of more than a dozen people on the other side had an unconcealed excitement, probably because they heard that the women and children were given to them, and more than a dozen people knelt down together to kowtow to Fan Ning in thanks.

Women are a kind of wealth to them, and many of them were originally their wives and daughters, who were robbed by the natives of the peninsula.

After another two days, more than a dozen elders from another tribe also came to the Song army camp, and the two tribes finally reached an agreement with the Song army, they were willing to become the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and no longer called the Mao people, but changed their names to the Great Song Kun people.

The Song dynasty did not levy taxes on them, but only paid a symbolic tribute to the Song emperor each year on a bearskin and a few pairs of antlers, and the Song army agreed to allow them to move to the peninsula, where food was more abundant and the climate was warmer.

In order to thank the Song army for returning the captive wives and daughters, the Kun people gave the Song army 300 bear skins, which were the wealth they had accumulated over the decades.

The Song army gave each of them two sets of Song Dynasty clothes and a lot of grain and salt, so that they finally bid farewell to the life of wearing animal skins for the summer.

This is also Fanning's idea, since the Kun people have become the people of the Great Song Dynasty, while retaining their beliefs and customs, they should also try to get closer to the Song Dynasty.

It is necessary to establish schools, teach their children to learn Chinese, change their clothing, teach them to farm, weave, change their eating habits, and prolong their lifespans.

Ten days later, the Song army left 500 men to garrison the barracks, and the rest of the army, under the leadership of the Kun hunters, marched by land and water to the grasslands to the north.

At this point, the curtain of Jingluo Kunzhou has finally been opened.
