After seeing the gun pipe making workshop, he went to the gun machine making workshop such as the dragon head and the hanging knife (trigger), compared with the gun pipe, these processes require not to be strong and durable, but to be careful and delicate.

In this verse, the craftsman at this time did not say anything at all.

In the past, the only thing to worry about was size, but with the existence of Dragon Thirteen and the anti-heaven simulator, everything is fine.

Long Thirteen did not move the rice, minutes, and centimeters of the later generations, but followed the division of zhang, ruler, inch, and minute.

Ordinary people know that there are points below the inch, which is one-tenth of an inch, and then it is meaningless for the conditions at this time.

However, although the size of the Ming Dynasty was regulated, there were still differences in the use of various places, and sometimes the size of the ruler was different in one place, so the Dragon Thirteen unified it.

He did not use the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, but adopted the practice of later generations, and unified the practice of one zhang equal to three meters, one meter equal to three feet, one foot equal to ten inches, and one inch equal to ten points to the measurement of his small strong camp.

Because he knew his height and the confirmation of the simulator, he was able to make various standard soft and hard rulers and promote them in his own camp.

As a result, the diameter of the gun tube and the production of various guns can be unified, and then each gun can be very unified.

After watching the fire hammer workshop, the sky is already approaching, and the major workshops are about to rest, Long Thirteen did not let his craftsmen start working in three shifts at this time because they wanted to catch up with the schedule, and it was already good to be able to hold on to the time.

Food, clothing, energy, and pay on time, his craftsmen had no reason to be lazy.

Although he still wanted to check the production of artillery, he had to give up and go back to rest first.

After the arrival of Long Thirteen, he immediately occupied another county palace, which was obviously also a branch of the Tang king, but most of the county kings of the Tang branch lived in Nanyang Mansion City, and few of them were sealed in the fiefdom.

The county palace covers an area of about 20 acres, and it can be regarded as a big mansion, for all kinds of palaces, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has regulations early in the morning, where is the main hall, where is the office of the officials of the palace office, where is the backyard, where is the palace guard, there are certain rules.

Long Thirteen happened to put all the personal guards he carried into the house and guard.

As soon as he stepped into the palace, he ran into Long Xiaoshi.

It is estimated that he got the news of Wang Fuchen's sudden appearance and rushed over to report the next plan.

Long Thirteen had no choice but to endure his tiredness and meet Long Xiaoshi in the study.

After a cup of strong tea fell into his stomach, Long Thirteen was a little sober again.

"There are two things in the big boss"

As soon as he heard Long Xiaoshi's words, Long Thirteen knew that he must not have come this time just for Wang Fuchen, so he looked at him with interest.

"Regarding Wang Fuchen's appearance in Neixiang County, the ministry has long known about it, and sent several people to investigate it carefully, and finally found the clue......

Seeing his relaxed expression, Long 13 knew that most of Wang Fuchen's absence from Nanyang Mansion was there, so he said, "But you have left Nanyang Mansion?"

Long Xiaoshi nodded first, then shook his head.

"Wait", Long Thirteen stopped him from wanting to continue, "Judging from this situation, although this guy is still in Nanyang Mansion, it has little impact on our department, is it not?"

Long Xiaoshi smiled: "The big boss's eyes are like torches, he is really powerful, so where do you think he will be?"

Long Thirteen thought for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then he should be hiding at the edge of Nanyang Mansion, and with restraint, could it be that he took refuge in Xiangyang Mansion?"

Long Xiaoshi continued to shake his head.

"That is hidden on the surrounding mountains, the north and west are the Bears Ears Mountain, and the south is the Tongbai Mountains, by the way, there are more than ten people under him, the west and north have been swept by us and others, and a secret post has been planted, this guy must not go, is it the Tongbai Mountains?"

"That's right, Zijin Liang, don't stick to mud

The two departments are rushing to the Tongbai Mountains, and this person was originally under the command of Li Zicheng, and it is not impossible for him to join a certain rebel army again with his skills."

Long Xiaoshi shook his head again.

Long Xiaoshi's eyes lit up, "Could it be Manjusri Temple?"

Seeing Long Xiaoshi nodded, he also understood, "Since Cai Jiuyi is gone, the temple is just lacking a Dharma protector, is he going to fill this vacancy, no, Cai Jiuyi is also a monk in Southern Shaolin anyway, he is a horse harrier and a fighter, no matter how strong his martial arts are, how can other temples accept him.....

He suddenly thought of something, "It is said that the governor of Henan is the greatest benefactor of Wenshu Temple, although the current governor has changed, but most of the presiding officers and acquaintances of the temple are familiar with the yamen of the governor of Henan, and after the previous governor leaves, many of his staff will also be recruited by the new governor."

"For a person like Wang Fuchen, who has served in both the righteous army and the official army, the governor yamen will definitely treat him differently, could it be that he first accepted the recruitment of the governor's yamen, and then hid in the name of the protector monk in Wenshu Temple, what is the use of this?"

Long Xiaoshi said: "I'm also a little strange, it is said that since I have been taken by the governor's yamen, I should be a banner for the governor Xuanmo, or a personal guard, why do you want to return to Manjusri Temple?"

"But this guy did return to Manjusri Monastery."

"It seems that there are many more secrets of Manjusri Temple than we imagined, this temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, and it is understood that this temple has two wonders."

"Oh?"

"One is that the main hall in the temple is naturally dedicated to Manjushri, but the side hall is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and this statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was brought by a Japanese monk in the Tang Dynasty."

"The ginkgo trees in the temple courtyard are as tall as the ginkgo trees, and the great masters have also seen them, and each one has a history of thousands of years."

"The statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree have survived so many dynasties, and it is estimated that this is the special feature of Manjusri Temple, and it is said that the temple building has been rebuilt many times due to landslides and fires in the history of thousands of years, and there are records of fires caused by lightning strikes."

"But this bodhisattva and the ginkgo tree have always existed."

"So, the surrounding people say that this temple is nominally dedicated to Manjushri Bodhisattva, but in fact it is Guanyin Bodhisattva, and no one dares to covet it easily, and some people say that this ginkgo tree was originally the ginseng fruit tree of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortals.......

"Puff ......", Long Thirteen couldn't help but smile, "I've seen too much of Journey to the West."

At this time, like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin, the story of Journey to the West has also been repeatedly changed into dramas and storytelling, which have been staged in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

Long Xiaoshi also smiled: "Although this is the case, it can't keep the people of the time to believe it, even the brutal Zhou Jiali doesn't dare to be too harsh, let alone others?"

Long Thirteen nodded, "According to Wang Fuchen's temperament, he must not be able to stay in the temple, he can go to Manjusri Temple, most likely because of the order of a certain ***, and ......."

He thought of a possibility, but didn't say it.

Instead, he said, "Forget it, don't you have one more thing to do with him?"

Dragon Thirteen also came to the spirit at this time.

"Big boss, according to your orders, I disguised myself as a businessman's entourage and went to Yiling Prefecture in person, fortunately I did not fail in my mission."

It turned out that in the past few days, Long Thirteen came to complete the task requirements of the simulator for Long Xiaoshi's training, and secondly, in order to investigate the ability of the Investigation Division, he asked Long Xiaoshi to go to Yiling Prefecture in person.

Here I have to mention the richest man in Henan, Wang Heizi, the Henan giant who was named the "Ming Dynasty Protector of the Country" by Emperor Wanli, and the one whose real name is Wang Yingcheng.

This person is nicknamed Wang Heizi, he is actually a showman, he deliberately takes one, or is willing to accept such a nickname, it is estimated that he is surrendering his identity so that he can walk in various places.

In fact, this person is the chief white glove of the royal family such as King Fu, King Zhou, King Lu, and King Tang in Henan, otherwise it would be impossible for him to do so much business on his own.

Long Xiaoshi is mixed

In Yiling Prefecture, where Wang Heizi's fleet went, since Xiao Qiangshi had already occupied the north shore of the upper reaches of the Han River, it was very convenient to secretly transport the manpower to Xiangyang Mansion, and then set off from Xiangyang Mansion, no one could see it.

And for a businessman like Wang Heizi, it is impossible to immediately convict a big thief leader like Long Thirteen who occupies the entire Nanyang Mansion.

"Oh?" , Long Thirteen was also full of interest.

"We set out from Xiangyang Mansion under the banner of King Lu's fleet, but in fact Wang Heizi's people are doing things, because King Lu took over all the fields and shops of King Jing who was previously sealed in Hubei, so King Lu's caravan can freely travel between Henan and Huguang."

"After the fleet arrived at Wuchang Mansion through the Han River, and then went upstream along the Yangtze River, on the river of Jingzhou Mansion, I saw a huge fleet of ships......

"Zhu Xieyuan's army?"

"Most likely, there are at least one ship, all of them are large ships of the scale of patrol ships or above, and they are heading downstream, and all the civilian ships along the way are empty, fortunately I am waiting for the banner of King Lu, otherwise I will be stopped by Zhu Xieyuan for questioning."

ship?" , Long Thirteen closed his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes, "That is to say, Zhu Xieyuan's army has at least 10,000 elite land divisions in addition to sailors, didn't you say that there are thousands of large and small ships under your command last time, how can there only be one......

He suddenly understood.

A warship can only carry 10,000 land divisions at most, since he went by shipowner, he obviously went to Wuchang Mansion, and from there entered Mufu Mountain to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Li Zicheng and others."

"And most of the rest of the people will quietly go north by land, and then go straight to Xiangyang Mansion to hide."

"But in that case, it's not easy to completely hide people's eyes, once he arrives in Xiangyang Mansion, wouldn't he have thought that he would be detected by us in advance?"

He picked up the candle and pulled it open behind him.

"If he rests during the day and marches at night, he can still do it, but he still has to arrive at Xiangyang Mansion in the end."

His gaze finally stopped in the city near Xiangyang Mansion.

In the end, he said, "I understand, Zhu Xieyuan's gang will definitely not rush to Xiangyang Mansion City immediately, but first here, or hide here, once the encirclement army from the east arrives, he will immediately dispatch."

Long Xiaoshi followed his hand and saw that there were two places, one was Yicheng County and the other was Nanzhang County.

Then he said: "Most of it is Yicheng County, which is on the bank of the Hanshui River, if you want to start, the grain and heavy baggage can also be transported by water."

Long 13 shook his head, "According to the Di newspaper, we have become a thorn in the side of the imperial court, and there are also Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, who have been defeated by me, and Zhu Xieyuan will be careful no matter how arrogant he is."

"Yicheng County is a big county next to the Han River, and there are many people coming and going, so he definitely can't keep it a secret, if my department finds out that he has come in advance, won't he be able to receive the effect of surprise soldiers?"

"And his other group of men and horses are making a big show on the Yangtze River, which is obviously a suspicious plan, so that I think he is going to Wuchang Mansion to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng and others, once the encirclement and suppression army from the east arrives, his men and horses in Wuchang Mansion can also come to Xiangyang Mansion by boat!"

"So, most of his people who take the land route will be hidden in Nanzhang County in the mountains, Nanzhang County also has rivers that lead to Yicheng County, there are waterways, and there are mountain barriers, most of them are Nanzhang County!"
