After that day's interrogation, although Shen Shuren failed to come up with a counter-plan for the first time, it was quite rewarding.

At least through repeated comparisons of the confessions of a group of prisoners, he roughly figured out the current situation of Liu Xiyao's army's weapons and equipment.

Knowing how many troops Liu Xiyao actually has, how many firearms he has, and what the armor and equipment in the army are, these are the latest first-hand data, which are much more accurate than the previous rough estimates.

When the two armies are at war, it is very important to know each other and know each other.

After confirming the weakness of Liu Xiyao's armament, Shen Shuren was not idle, and immediately ordered the army to step up drills and strengthen the demonstration of shotgun tactics.

On the other hand, the only craftsmen in Huangzhou who produced gunpowder lead bullets were also organized to urgently process a large number of small lead bullets of sub-caliber.

The new mold was not enough for a while, so the craftsmen tried the method of "pouring the molten lead water into the cold water at a slower speed" according to Shen Shuren's idea, and after repeated tests, they really made small lead beads that were very easy to obtain.

The roundness of this lead ball is sufficient, and the roll bias problem is not obvious during the test shot, which can be comparable to a large spherical lead bullet.

The only problem is that the diameter is not easy to control, and it may be slightly larger each time, but considering that in the future it may be necessary to wrap leather or paper to tighten the airtight, this error is also acceptable.

Moreover, after repeated tests, the craftsmen also summed up some experiences that Shen Shuren had not noticed before - when pouring lead water, the temperature of the lead water, the height of the drop before entering the cold water, the speed at the moment of entering the water, and the speed of pouring the lead water, these four factors seem to affect the diameter of the final condensed lead beads.

Now that we know that there are these several influencing variables, all that remains is repeated controlled experiments. Although Shen Shuren did not do these experiments himself, he did not use modern scientific management methods to control variables.

He personally made a table, the longitudinal is the data results of each experiment, and the horizontal is the four variable parameters, so that the craftsmen can control the three variables at a time, only the last variable changes, and then test and compare.

In this way, after the strict arrangement and combination of dozens of sets of data, the optimal solution that can be achieved at present has been determined.

This kind of thinking is basic for modern people, but for the ancients who lacked the ability to coordinate mathematics, it was once again shocking.

The officials of the Qixian County Yagongfang, after being personally assigned by the Tongzhi Lord, were shocked one by one, and sincerely admired the erudition and clear thinking of the Tongzhi Lord, and they deserved to be the two Jinshi.

……

A few days later. The training of new recruits is still in full swing, and the production of new ammunition is on the right track, moving from the experimental stage to full capacity.

On Shen Shuren's side, while dealing with business every day, he is also thinking about counter-plots in his mind.

Not to mention, inspiration is like a wallet, and it's often not easy to find when you're in a hurry to find it.

You put it aside and do something else first, think subconsciously, and then you think about it inadvertently.

On the 23rd day of August, that is, the fifth day after the meticulous work.

Shen Shuren finally had some eyebrows, and after finishing the day's official duties, he selectively took turns to interrogate Liu San and others, who were the first to be afraid of death and soft.

Liu San has been working as a coolie for the past five days, he thought that he was about to die as a coolie for the rest of his life, and he didn't expect to be arraigned at all-

He is just a small sentinel general, and even their department chief has been confessed, what is the value of arraignment of him? He didn't know any more useful information.

As soon as he saw Shen Shuren, Liu San immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, wanting to ask for Rao not to die, obviously he thought that he was going to invite him to eat a severed head meal today.

Shen Shuren didn't bother to explain more to this kind of tool man, so he said bluntly and coldly: "If you cry again, I will cut you." ”

Liu San held back at this time.

Shen Shuren touched his nose: "Would you like to go back to Liu Xiyao?" Think about it before you answer, you're the fourth person to be asked this question today. ”

Liu San was stunned, struggled inwardly, and said, "If the adult asks me to go back, I will go, and if the adult doesn't let me go, I won't go." My lord, I was originally a local citizen of Huangzhou, but I was coerced in the past two years, and I didn't want to be a thief. ”

Shen Shuren waved his hand: "I've also thought about it, now it's been almost ten days since you were detained." Liu Xiyao must have become suspicious, and he will feel that you have been recognized and destroyed by me.

I'm too lazy to pretend to be confused, so let's come here - tomorrow, the head of the department and a few other diehard leaders, I will order them to be chopped up, and the heads will be hung at the city gate for three days.

After the public demonstration, you can pretend to be righteous and secretly take the head, go back and report to Liu Xiyao, and say that you have been exposed, saying that I am suspicious by nature, and I have recently killed innocents in Huangzhou, and I would rather indulge in vain.

But you can run out because the Huangzhou gentry dare not speak out against me. Some local villagers in the army, led by the officers were Yuan Zhongyi and Xu Haoshen's original guardians, who sympathized with the thieves and happened to be responsible for taking care of you, and wanted to deal with me to avenge the old master, so they took the opportunity to release you privately, lying that you died suddenly as a coolie. ”

Liu San listened and listened, the hope of survival rose again, and he could be put back in vain, so he could survive.

But he still felt a little untrue and unreliable, and explained euphemistically: "It's okay to go back and say these things, but I'm stupid and have no status, Liu ...... Liu Thief may not believe it. ”

Shen Shuren: "Believe it or not, it's not something you have to worry about, just bring the words to you." You have completed such a dangerous task, and you have brought back the reason for your failure, I believe Liu Xiyao will reward you too.

In addition, this official has a way to know if you have seen Liu Xiyao after you go back, if you don't go to see him, after half a month, I will find a way to let Liu Xiyao know: The reason why his meticulous work is completely wiped out is because you are the stupidest, and you are the first to show your flaws, and I have touched them. When the time comes, how will Liu Xiyao let you die, it will definitely be crueler than me.

If Liu Xiyao didn't know that his fine work had been destroyed and he would attack within half a month, it would be even better, I would set up an ambush in the city to destroy the vanguard troops he wanted to earn, and then let him lose by the way, and when the time comes, you will also die. ”

Shen Shuren was afraid that the other party's IQ was too low, so he made his words clear first, so that the other party clearly knew that "if you go back and don't tell Liu Xiyao, you will die sooner or later."

In this case, Liu San didn't want to deceive the original owner and wanted to live, so he had to flee directly, that is, after being put back from Shen Shuren, he did not return to Liu Xiyao's army, and went into exile incognito.

Shen Shuren really can't prevent this at present, but even so, Shen Shuren didn't lose, just said that there were dates and no dates.

If you win, you will earn, if you lose, you will not lose, and if you don't try, you won't try.

Liu San hesitated for a few seconds, and seemed to understand this truth, so he pretended to agree first and then said.

Shen Shuren added in a timely manner: "Since you have made up your mind, after you go back, you will exaggerate my cruelty a lot, only saying that I squeezed the local gentry, forced me to donate money and grain to expand the army, gave preferential treatment to civilians, and planted Hongyi grain from Fujian."

If Liu Xiyao joins the prison before the autumn harvest, I will let the family destroy all the fields where the Hongyi grain is planted and burned, and not a single seed will be left to Liu Xiyao - this information, of course, is revealed to you by the local gentry.

If Liu Xiyao believes this, you will ask for a life-saving token for the two gentry of the Yuan family and the Xu family, and in the future, Qizhou and Qishui will be broken, and you must protect their two families and not rob their property. In this way, they are willing to cooperate with Liu Xiyao. ”

After giving the order, Shen Shuren turned to Shen Fu: "Go, take fifty taels of silver, give it to the robe who has the best friendship with him among the captives, and take that robe down as a hostage."

If you give him good wine and meat to eat for a few days, recuperate your body and hurry, don't treat the injury, leave some injuries and go back to look real, Liu Xiyao is more likely to believe that he escaped after suffering hardship. ”

After Shen Fu received the order, Shen Shuren finally added to Liu San: "You can't take the silver directly, if it is found out after you go back, it will hurt you." But as long as you complete your mission, you will be given another three hundred taels of silver after the war.

I heard that your family members were also killed and injured in the thieves, and since you are a local of Huanggang, you will be given a chance to do it anyway. The official treats the gentry harshly and reduces the rent for the poor, and it is difficult to find a good official like me in Daming. Think about it carefully, whether you are willing to earn a lot of money and live a stable life under the rule of this official. ”

After some coercion and temptation, the plan was implemented.

This operation also reminded Shen Shuren of a joke that was widely sung in the "Three-Body Problem" book friend group in his previous life: "When it comes to war and crisis, the first thing to do is to kill our own mother and protect the enemy's mother."

Human beings should kill the Virgin of Humanity and protect the Virgin of the Three-Body Problem. The Three-Body Man should kill the Three-Body Mother and protect the Human Mother.

By extension, when encountering an enemy army with pig teammates, you should also enjoy the treatment of the Virgin, because both of them have the commonality of "dragging their feet".

Among the meticulous works sent by Liu Xiyao, the elites who are really capable and do not show their flaws, Shen Shuren must be cut down to show the public, and those who are put back must be "pig teammates who caused the elite teammates to be killed".

Because the pig teammate is already unclean, if the truth about his pig is known by the boss, the boss will definitely dismantle him, and he can only continue to pig and save his own dog's life.

Today is just a small test, so that Shen Shuren can really practice this kind of thinking. Let's leave it for now and see the effect.

If it turns out that the curative effect is really good, you can dig deeper and summarize along this line of thought in the future, which can be regarded as implementing and carrying forward the "Three-Body Killing of Our Lady of War".

……

The next day, "Liu Xiyao's meticulous crimes" were also publicly exposed in Qizhou County, and the official government, which had been secretly tried for many days, suddenly became high-profile and quickly tried the capable and meticulous work sent by Liu Xiyao in public.

Regardless of whether the procedures were complete or not, all the knives were cut off on the same day, and the heads were hung at the gate of the city to show the public.

The local people, who had never seen Shen Tongzhi so violent, were also frightened.

I heard that even Zhao Zhixian had some conflicts with Shen Tongzhi, thinking that Shen Tongzhi was too careless of human life and sloppy killing, which was not conducive to the subsequent recruitment of Liu Xiyao's troops, and it was easy to arouse the other party's determination to resist - of course, all this was only heard by outsiders.

A few days later, after a desperate psychological struggle, Liu San still chose to secretly take the head of his boss and pretend to escape to report the news.

He has already figured it out, Liu Xiyao's army is very closely checked at the junction of the two armies, and he may not be able to escape if he wants to be a deserter. And on the south bank of Qishui, Shen Shuren's soldiers have been following him from afar, if he dares to escape in advance in the Shen Shuren defense area, there will definitely be a string of bird bullets directly from behind.

It's better to go back and bring a few words to Liu Thief, and it's not too late to find a way to escape after bringing the words.
