Hong Chengchou's voice is like a bell, and he is righteous and awe-inspiring.

Actually, this is understandable, after all, some people are born with the aura of the protagonist.

The Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, one counts as one, especially those who are among the top in the exam, all of them are the same.

When everyone heard what Hong Chengchou said, they immediately relaxed.

At least......

After all, the public opinion propaganda in the past six months has already touted the Shenji Battalion to the sky.

Especially the deeds of Hong Chengchou in Guanzhong to strangle the Liukou, how to strategize and win a thousand miles, how the Liukou was frightened, and how many heads were cut off, and this time, the military horses trained were naturally far above the officials and soldiers who had suppressed the Liukou at the beginning.

What's more, now that the soldiers are well fed, there are such military horses, coupled with the strategy of Hong Chengchou, naturally it should not be underestimated.

Like a Confucian general like Hong Chengchou, he presided over the lecture hall, cultivated talents for reading, and integrated the Four Books and Five Classics with the Art of War, which will surely make people's eyes shine.

Hong Chengchou said.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Why don't you order the Donglin Army to attack?" ”

Obviously, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was still not at ease.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and someone said: "The Donglin Army is good, but this battle is very important, and it needs to be solid and reliable." ”

It was a royal history who spoke, and halfway through the words, he suddenly felt that he was speechless.

But in fact, nearly half of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty thought so.

The soldiers brought by the military attaché are unreliable.

What should I do if I surrender to Jiannu?

And now that the capital is in danger, a talent like Hong Chengchou is the most reliable, and he is never worried that he will surrender to the Jiannu people.

On the other hand, Zhang Jingyi, no matter how loyal Zhang Jingyi is, are the Qiu Ba under him reliable?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi showed signs of rage.

However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought again, it was dangerous outside the city, and it would be safe to leave Zhang Jingyi by his side, this guy was too reckless, and this time he was a big enemy, why not let Hong Chengchou try the reality of the Jiannu people first?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered, looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Hong Qing's family, if you go to war and encounter Jiannu, how should you deal with it?" ”

Hong Chengchou faintly felt that there were signs of confrontation in the DPRK, and many people of insight were obviously still on his side.

However, His Majesty clearly despised him.

And the cabinet scholars were silent, and at this time, they did not stand up to say a word for him, which made him feel cold.

I have heard for a long time that all the scholars in the cabinet, even Sun Chengzong, are also close to Zhang Jingyi.

So Hong Chengchou responded: "Jiannu is good at riding and shooting, if you encounter Jiannu, you should bombard it with artillery, mess up its position, and then the foot soldiers are stacked on top of each other, and the train formation refuses." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "That's it? ”

Hong Chengchou said: "The Shenji Battalion has been reborn, and it is enough to deal with Jiannu." Your Majesty, the so-called upper army is plotting, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege. Jiannu people run thousands of miles to attack, this is to plot and use the army and siege strategy, at this time they have been like the end of the strong crossbow, and the so-called strong crossbow can not wear Lu Min, as long as our army is ready to break its vanguard, this Jiannu will naturally not attack itself. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse listened to what he said, but he was full of confidence, and he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad for a while.

However, many of the officials were excited.

They know that.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse finally said: "In this case, then the upper and lower levels of the Martial Arts Hall will fight with the Shenji Battalion, Hong Qing, I will send you out of the city." ”

Hong Chengchou seems to have seen a bright future, right in front of his eyes.

So his heart was excited, and he was overjoyed: "The minister receives the favor of the country, and His Majesty relies on it, and he should do his best to serve him to death." ”

After that, his eyes were red, and he had the spirit of a strong man.

When the officials heard this, they were stunned and stunned.

After the court, as soon as Hong Chengchou came out of the Qinzheng Palace, many ministers immediately surrounded him and bid him farewell.

Hong Chengchou and them played with each other and cherished each other, so there was a humane: "Hong Gong should be careful when he goes." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "I have a way to retreat from thieves, don't worry." Most of the backbones of the Lecture Hall and the Shenji Battalion are scholars, and they are all saints, and I rely on them to succeed. ”

The crowd was moved.

Zhang Jingyi didn't look at these people, and left on his own.

Returning to Xinxian, Zhang Jingyi went to Donglin Military Academy.

At this time, even if Donglin Shengren sticks to the capital, Zhang Jingyi needs to be fully prepared.

I walked around the military academy, but I went to the research institute again.

Zhang Jingyi asked about the progress of the research institute: "How are some of the previous firearms being studied now?" ”

"That machine gun, but it was drummed up, it was unstable."

The person who spoke was the craftsman in charge of these projects, named Liu Ye.

Liu Ye has been a craftsman for generations, good at ironwork and carpentry, and after recruiting into the workshop under the Donglin Military Academy, he quickly stood out from many craftsmen.

He's smart and once he started having a stage, he immediately showed his talent.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi was slightly surprised, and then said, "Take it and let me take a look." ”

Liu Ye led Zhang Jingyi to a school field.

This campus is actually the experimental site of the research institute.

Soon, I saw three or four people carrying a huge thing.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but look at it with wide eyes.

Good guys, where is this gun, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a cannon.

After the yellow powder came out, the mercury was also extracted.

In fact, as long as you find a general method, it is nothing more than continuous experimentation, and after continuous experimentation, you can get what you want.

With all this, it means that the rear-loading guns of yellow powder, and even the weapons of continuous fire, are beginning to become a reality.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he looked at such a big iron bump.

So he immediately ordered someone to try it.

As soon as Liu Ye gave the order, he saw a few craftsmen busy.

They fastened it with a chain of cloth, and then began to pull the bolt, and immediately after, the huge iron lump erupted tongues of fire.

Dada......

The barrel, which was thicker than an arm, shook violently, and the shelf below also shook wildly on the ground, raising a large amount of dust.

The person with the back seat of the gun fixed at the back of his head was numb, and the strong recoil made his hands seem to be out of control after a while.

But......

Liu Ye smiled bitterly: "This thing, there is almost no precision at all, and it is easy to jam, and the cost is particularly expensive, not that this thing itself is expensive, but the required bullets are demanding, and they need to be hammered out by craftsmen by hand, if this bullet is unqualified, it needs to be reworked, a bullet, close to three coins of silver......"

Liu Ye complained.

Actually, this is understandable.

In other firearms, the bullet is a steel ball, which is cheap.

And this thing, because it uses yellow powder as the firing charge, the gunpowder must be placed in the bullet, which is very demanding for the process, and the cost is also amazing.

Zhang Jingyi asked: "How many qualified bullets can a craftsman make in a day?" ”

"The most skilled craftsmen are afraid that there are only sixty or seventy pieces."

"How many of these craftsmen are there?"

"Fifty or sixty."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help frowning, very dissatisfied, so he said: "Allocate all the craftsmen who can be used, from now on, make as many as you can, tell them, make a qualified one, I will give a reward of thirty copper coins, this is an additional bounty, and it does not conflict with their own salary, as long as the things are qualified, give me as many as they want, and this machine gun ......."

Zhang Jing looked at it horizontally and vertically, it didn't look like a gun, this was a cannon.

But there is no way, continuous firing, the steel requirements for the barrel are very strict, and since the strength of the barrel cannot be solved at the moment, it can only be thickened and thickened.

Zhang Jing said: "How much is this, how much is made for me, tell everyone......... I am not short of money, no, His Majesty is not short of money, everyone muster up and recruit some craftsmen for me, the original apprentices, this time as long as they do a good job, they can immediately give the treatment of craftsmen, the original craftsmen, as long as they do a good job, all the titles will be increased to me. The raw materials required, don't be afraid to spend money, this money ...... Not only to give, but also to give more. ”

Liu Ye was surprised when he heard this.

So reluctant?

remembers that in the past, Zhang Jingyi was still a little stingy when he was given the status of a craftsman.

After all, every craftsman's status has a charter, which doesn't matter if you live, age, sickness or die.

Not only that, but the monthly salary is also relatively sufficient.

Under such encouragement, it is indeed that the craftsmen began to work with peace of mind one by one, because of decency, at least among ordinary people, it is a very honorable thing to be a craftsman.

But because of the generous salary, whether it is Fengqiu, or here, apprentices account for the majority.

These apprentices often follow the craftsmen and learn miscellaneous arts.

Some people have been unable to become craftsmen for several years, and although the salary of apprentices is not low, there is no guarantee after all.

If this is to directly promote a group of craftsmen on the spot, let alone a hundred places, even if it is twenty or thirty, those apprentices will be crazy.

As for the craftsmen, there are also levels, from low to intermediate to high, and even Liu Ye has never reached the special level, not to mention, if you really want to relax the standards for the craftsmen this time, this is too crazy.

Liu Ye said in disbelief: "Liao Guogong won't lie to people." ”

Craftsmen are like that, they speak more directly, especially in this closed environment, working with wood and steel every day.

If someone else said this, Zhang Jing would have slapped him in the morning and knocked him away.

Zhang Jingyi said with rare patience: "Don't be long-winded, announce it immediately, I have the final say on this matter, but I want to see this machine gun quickly, and I also want to see the bullets, if I can't get it, I will transfer you to Liaoxi to eat sand." ”

Liu Ye immediately said: "Grandpa, don't worry, from today onwards, I won't sleep." ”

Zhang Jing didn't care if he slept or not, and only said: "Remember, you must ensure the quality, if something goes wrong, what the consequences will be, you know for yourself." ”

"Whoa."
