A dozen pairs of fiery eyes that are as fast as the monkey stared at me, as if if I didn't agree, they were going to pounce and tear me to pieces, could you not agree? We don't have the kind of energy to pick a dozen veteran ruffians by ourselves.

"This is natural, please also ask Your Majesty and the generals to stand up and push the cannon forward!" I gave the order with great enthusiasm, and soon, the cannon lifted the rain cloth, revealing the shiny barrel, well, improvements were made, first of all, two holes were drilled in the muzzle, and a brim-like thing was put on to prevent rain from dripping into the barrel, and in addition, the original point of the lead on the right side was also covered by one such rain cover.

When the artillery was pushed out of the canopy by everyone, these artillerymen began to get busy, first opened the tail of the gun, first filled in the shells, the film, and then filled the hair medicine bag wrapped in oiled paper, pulled out the lead from the medicine bag, and then re-covered the tail of the gun, and then added a few large steel rings, that is, to prevent the gun from spilling out of the energy when firing, causing accidents.

In order to ensure the quality of the artillery, the material of the copper core iron tire is still used to make it, and the rear of the gun is thickened, and the tail fire door of the gun is even more side-entered, which avoids the embarrassment of the shell falling out of the barrel as soon as people let go, so that people no longer need to adjust the height of the muzzle in order to load the propellant and other things. There is also a need to recalibrate the range, which is a time-consuming and wasteful way of wasting fighters.

After calibrating the target, with the sound of the gunner's command, the gunner pulled the flintlock device, only to see a not-so-bright spark flashing near the tail of the cannon in the rain, and then felt that the ear suddenly lost the ability to hear, and then there was a violent roar, from the muzzle of the cannon erupted a blazing white fire, and then the piercing whistling sound broke through the barrier of the rain barrier, and went into the distance, and after a while, a distant roar was heard, if the rolling thunder hidden in the clouds.

------------------------------------------------ continued, three shells in a row, loading and firing in the rain, and didn't even hit the umbrella, well, fortunately it was summer, and although the rain hit the person, it felt cold, but there was no such feeling of autumn rain. After a while, go to a hot bath, and drink a big bowl of thick ginger syrup, which can drive away the cold around the body, plus these soldiers have to practice in the field almost every month or two, and the sin is even more uncomfortable, and now, for them, it is just a pediatrics.

Back at the Firearms Bureau, inside the big house, a group of old generals were all squatting together, all curiously looking at the objects in their hands, and Uncle Li Jing even picked up a flintlock device, and kept lighting the fire there, while sighing in amazement: "Why didn't the old man think of using this flint and fire sickle together like this, but it is much lighter." ”

Uncle Li also happily touched this and tinkered with that, and it could be seen that there was no one who was unhappy, after all, the Southern Group Army of the Tang Dynasty had repeatedly reported the problem that the use of firearms in the rainy and changeable south was not ideal, and the appearance of these things was equivalent to solving the immediate worries.

"Okay, it's all good things, what do you think?" After Uncle Li was happy, he finally remembered what was going on and said to the old generals who were whispering around him. "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the firearms used in the south of my Datang should have been reformed long ago, and the minister thinks that it has only been a few months since the battle with Tianzhu, if those firearms can be improved one day earlier, then my Datang soldiers will be able to suffer fewer casualties." On the side, Li Daozong continued to play with a flintlock device like a lighter, while not forgetting to speak to Uncle Li.

Li Daozong's proposal was agreed by all the old generals present, after all, the complex climate in the south is the most headache for everyone, with this kind of device, at least the elites of the Tang Dynasty can expand their results more smoothly, in addition, the use of firearms, in the eyes of those southern barbarians, its deterrent power is probably greater than that of Uncle Li's personal expedition.

Soon, Uncle Li made a decision and ordered the Martial Arts Research Institute to make flint equipment for the supply of bamboo and wood handle grenades used by the elite of the Tang Dynasty 50,000 Jiannan Dao in the shortest possible time, as well as the transformation of artillery, and of course, the mine. At the same time, Uncle Li also cordially expressed his condolences to the craftsmen who made these devices, and expressed his gratitude to them for the reforms they made in the military industry of the Tang Dynasty.

After solving the big matter here, I was finally able to go back to Weinan safely with Li Zhi, and in the official office, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Lu Chen sitting on a low couch, stunned by the water cup in front of him. "Hehe, what's wrong with Zigui, is there any difficulty?" I strode forward, sat on the low couch, took the tea that Lu Chen had poured for me and took a sip.

"The student has decided, and he is willing to follow the example of the sage surnamed Song that you said and become a forensic doctor." Lu Chen hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, and finally said what he meant, which made me stunned: "You, Zigui, are you sure you are not joking with the teacher?" "Today, it's been a few days since I talked to Lu Chen that day, originally I thought that Lu Chen was a hot-blooded young man, and it was only three minutes of enthusiasm to do things, since it exceeded the five-day time limit I gave him, I think this guy is afraid that he has already forgotten his original request, but I didn't expect that now he actually stood in front of me again and said such a thing.

Lu Chen saw that I was stunned, and quickly explained, it turned out that several of his sisters opposed him to become a forensic doctor, after all, as far as the current Tang Dynasty is concerned, although the practitioner is not a cheap profession, but it is not worthy of a scholar and a scholar, plus the family has a lot of wealth, why should he suffer that kind of suffering and deal with the bone frame?

“…… So today, the disciples persuaded a few sisters to dare to come to the master and ask for the invitation of the previous son. Lu Chen let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had indeed put a lot of effort into his mouth these days.

Seeing his resolute face, I nodded deeply: "Okay, I promise you, you can rest assured, as a teacher, I will never lose you." I picked up a piece of paper on the table, quickly wrote down a letter, folded it and handed it to Lu Chen's hand.

"You finish the work on your side first, and then you go to Chang'an, go to Qingyangguan, and tell the Taoist priest there, and say that it is for the teacher to let you go, you go to Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Daochang, and Sun Simiao. Then give this letter and this "Case Solving Handbook" to either of the two of them, and then you will be able to learn medical skills from these two of the most prestigious miracle doctors in my Tang Dynasty, remember, only by putting in a hundred times the effort, the road to success will appear in front of your eyes. I will only give you one year, and after one year, if you can get the approval of these two Taoist leaders, then you will become a forensic doctor in Weinan County, and I hope you will not live up to the high expectations of being a teacher. ”

At the beginning of the summer of ------------------------------------------------, news came from Gangnam Province that 30,000 laborers had arrived on Luzon Island, and that seven copper mines, two gold mines, one silver mountain, and four iron mines had been discovered on Luzon Island, and these were all rich ores of quite good qualityThe monthly output can reach 500,000 catties of copper, 400,000 catties of iron, 5,000 taels of gold, and 3,000 catties of silver.

Uncle Li almost went crazy with Le, well, this is far beyond Uncle Li's original expectations, at least it also exceeded my conservative estimates, the ancestors are a plank, no wonder why the Western wild monkeys in later generations are stalking and occupying the territory of South Asia, it is because these places are not only rich in products, but more importantly, the mineral reserves are very huge.

In addition, on the island of Luzon, they stayed for nearly a year, and only found a few wild tribes with bare butts and a few grass leaves and bark to cover their bodies with Ru Mao drinking blood, these wild people are not friendly, so the accompanying Datang soldiers naturally reacted instinctively, but they were very merciful did not strangle all these wild people, but left some strong laborers, ready to also as hard labor, to make their due contribution to the mining cause of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, the construction of large permanent wharves in Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places and Liuqiu Island has been completed, in addition, Quanzhou has expanded a shipyard that can build ten giant sea ships at the same time, through the efforts of craftsmen, it has been able to produce a sea ship that is several zhang longer than the original largest warship in the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, the length can reach more than 70 meters, and the carrying capacity is naturally rising, because my eldest brother also followed my advice. Incentives have been put in place and boatmen are working hard to innovate and reinvent the ship's craftsmanship. At the same time, Uncle Li also recruited more than two-thirds of the shipwrights of the entire Tang Dynasty to concentrate here, and it can be imagined how strong Uncle Li's ambition to develop the islands of South Asia is.

As for Li Zhi, he also has an ambition to always pioneer and forge ahead, and he is comparing on the map all day long, whether it is time to draw some places to the territory of our Datang, at least, after Li Zhi heard the abundance of Tianzhu, as well as the rich coal, iron, jewelry, and gold, Li Zhi has already regarded Tianzhu as the territory that Datang should have.
