As soon as the door opened, it was blocked by Cao Zhenghua's figure, and the already dim moonlight through the clouds could not shine in.

Cao Zhenghua walked into the house unhurriedly, followed by Jin Shengkui. When he turned around, Liu Xingzuo and the others saw a faint smile on his face.

Looking at Cao Zhenghua's demeanor, no one believed that he had just killed people unconsciously, but seemed to be in a good mood after going out for a walk.

Liu Xingzuo hurriedly saluted, and his demeanor became more and more respectful. However, killing Wang Bing, firstly, to clear the obstacles anyway, and secondly, it can be regarded as his vote, and his heart is more stable.

"There are more than ten days left, which is the period of the big move." After Cao Zhenghua sat down, he said solemnly: "General Liu's dedication to Fuzhou is a great achievement, if our army can land to cut off the retreat of Jiannu and inflict heavy losses, it will be a great merit." ”

Da Beile Daishan led two red flags to defend against the Ming army in southern Liaoning on the front line of Xinjin, and if Fuzhou was suddenly occupied, an attack from the flank and rear was likely to deal a heavy blow to it.

In this way, Liu Xingzuo's original intention of wanting to make great contributions was also realized.

Liu Xingzuo nodded vigorously and said, "There is still Li Yongfang's eldest son in the city, but if they are removed together, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Jiannu." ”

Liu Xingren answered: "Li Yangeng, a mediocre person, just send someone to watch him." ”

Cao Zhenghua thought for a while and said, "Now you don't have to be too arranged, just master real and reliable officers." Wait until a day or two before the event, and then step up the action, either to lock down the city, or—"

Seeing Cao Zhenghua's habitual downward cutting action, Liu Xingzuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be better if Li Yangeng could be captured alive?" ”

Cao Zhenghua blinked his eyes, smiled his head, and said, "It is indeed a good idea to sacrifice your majesty and make Banzai happy." ”

Liu Xingzuo smiled, turned his head to Jin Shengkui and said, "Mr. Jin is familiar with Li Yangeng's paperwork, and the task of monitoring him will make you tired. ”

Jin Shengkui arched his hand and said with a smile: "It's not enough to be tired, the general can rest assured." ”

Liu Xingzuo nodded, looked at Liu Xingren, and said, "The matter of escorting the batch of materials tomorrow will be done by the third brother!" ”

Liu Xingren was just about to agree, but Cao Zhenghua's eyes rolled and suggested: "General Liu might as well go in person, it will only take a few days to go back and forth, which will not only make you miss the matter here, but also make Jiannu more at ease." ”

Liu Xingzuo blinked his eyes, observed Cao Zhenghua's expression, felt that he was not tempting, and asked cautiously: "Is it appropriate to go down to kiss?" ”

Cao Zhenghua nodded and said, "I think it's very good." Such a move would show the loyalty of the general, and even if someone noticed something unusual, it would dispel suspicions. ”

Of course, Liu Xingzuo knew the benefits of his personal escort, as Cao Zhenghua said, showing loyalty and openness was indeed very beneficial to things anyway.

Sure that Cao Zhenghua was not a temptation, Liu Xingzuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Believing in him like this made him more sure in his heart about the treatment anyway and after the anyway.

"I want to send my fifth brother Xingzhi to Changsheng Island to cultivate cronies and prepare for the landing of the army." Liu Xingzuo asked Cao Zhenghua and asked: "Lord Cao sent a brother to go with him to guide Xingzhi. ”

"Yes." Cao Zhenghua had this intention, and when he saw that Liu Xingzuo was so interested, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Everyone deliberated carefully before leaving to act separately.

…………………… Divider.....................

It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

Thousands of miles apart, and it is both land and sea to get a message, and Zhu Youxiao knows that remote control command is absolutely impossible.

The so-called strategizing is within the box, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. It is either an exaggeration, or it refers to a strategic deployment, rather than the implementation of specific tactics.

After determining the anyway action, Zhu Youxiao handed it over to Mr. Yuan to formulate a specific plan and direct its implementation. He is only responsible for coordinating the cooperation and response of Liao Town and Jin Town at the strategic level.

Of course, the supply of weapons, ammunition, food and grass is more important. The so-called emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, the so-called strong soldiers are good, and logistics is the guarantee of victory.

Good news came from the coal and steel complex, and the subordinate arsenal had built the first batch of flintlock pistols, which had been inspected by the military department and shipped to the port of Tianjin.

The sample gun was presented to the Imperial Court two months ago, and Zhu Youxiao tried it out and thought it was good.

But the actual mass production took two months. However, this is good news in the end, the sooner the Ming army changes its clothes, the sooner the victory will come.

The Guangdong Ordnance and Gunpowder Bureau is also increasing its production capacity, and all the income of the Guangzhou City Ship Division is invested. Almost all the muskets produced and manufactured were sent to Guizhou, which made the strength of the counterinsurgency Ming army continue to increase.

The manufacture of Hongyi cannons slowed down a little, which is what Zhu Youxiao meant.

Since the manufacture of shells with stock, his thinking has been extended to the Hongyi cannon, extended to the navy and naval warfare, and believes that the Hongyi cannon should be changed with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.

The opinion at the time was that the farther the artillery hit, the better. Such a conclusion cannot be said to be wrong, but it is not entirely true.

On land it is better, the artillery has stable support, and the accuracy of shooting is still relatively high.

But at sea, the ship was bumpy, and it was not a high-end artillery with sighting and sighting equipment in later generations, and the accuracy of the long-distance bombardment of the breech musket was very impressive.

Based on the idea that the longer the firing range, the better, the Hongyi cannon with a long barrel, a large charge, and a high bore pressure was created. To achieve this, the barrel was made long and thick, which made the weight of the gun quite impressive.

On wooden sailing ships, because of the carrying capacity, bulky guns can only be installed on the lower deck, and the number is not too large, and only light naval guns can be installed on the upper deck.

Zhu Youxiao believed that this was a misunderstanding and that changes could completely change the situation.

In Zhu Youxiao's idea, if the gun barrel is not made shorter and thinner, the gun will be much lighter, and the naval warship will be able to load more guns.

The invention of the butt has greatly improved the accuracy of the coordination between the shell and the breech; The barrel is shortened, but the caliber can be increased, and larger and more powerful shells can be fired.

Anyway, the heavy Hongyi cannon said that it could hit a few kilometers, but you hit it! It's all a bombardment of luck, but it's actually a momentum.

According to the intelligence and information collected by Zhu Youxiao, in real naval battles, the actual combat distance between ships is usually within a few hundred meters.

Since this is the case, Zhu Youxiao also strengthened his idea and ordered the Guangdong Ordnance Bureau to cast a cannon with a shorter barrel and a larger caliber, and named it Haiwei Heavy Artillery.

According to the data of the sample cannon cast by the Guangdong Ordnance Bureau, the weight of the Haiwei heavy artillery is only one-third of that of the Hongyi artillery of the same caliber, but the power is comparable at a range of three or four hundred meters.

That's it. Zhu Youxiao sent a secret letter to Shen Yourong and told him the data of the new artillery. Needless to say, bayonets on cannons, overwhelm the enemy with numbers!

Speaking of bayonets on cannons, the Weapons and Powder Bureau of the Beijing Division began to manufacture three or five hundred pounds of Franc machine guns.

Although the range and power of the Franc cannon were lacking, the rate of fire was an undoubted advantage. The weight of three or five hundred catties is also a light artillery, and with a suitable gun carriage and artillery carriage, a horse can pull and run.

That's right, this is the equipment specially provided for the cavalry artillery to shoot shotgun ... Bullet-based, rapid bombardment of the enemy at close range.

According to the latest training report of the cavalry artillery, it only takes about half a minute from rushing to the battlefield to shelling the artillery.

This is already a very astonishing speed, and you can imagine how the situation will change when the cavalry artillery suddenly arrives on the battlefield in the midst of fierce fighting, sets up artillery and shoots thousands of projectiles at the enemy in a very short time.

Zhu Youxiao had just built an ammunition truck that traveled with the cannon, and he was looking at his work with smugness. Well, wooden, miniature.

Li Chengcheng looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "Is the emperor a toy for the little prince and princess?" It's so clever that you can run with a sheep, right? ”

Zhu Youxiao blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I will build a stroller that can be pushed and walked tomorrow, and there will be a little wooden horse to ride in the future." Well, there's ......"

Li Chengcheng looked at the emperor who was immersed in imagination and smiling happily, thinking that in the near future, there would be a cute little prince or princess to add happiness, and he couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth and be happy for the emperor.

Wang Tiqian stood respectfully beside him, his face filled with a smile that was happier than that of the emperor.

After talking for a long time, Zhu Youxiao laughed and stopped his words. He patted the ammunition cart with unfinished thinking, and the emperor's eyes were full of tenderness, as if a small baby was lying on it.

Finally putting away his thoughts, the Emperor stepped out of the workshop and strolled casually through the palace in the bright sun.

"The Emperor." Wang Tiqian approached with a smile and said, "Today is the case of Imperial Doctor Yang entering the palace for a routine consultation, and there will be good news soon." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "A month flies so fast, I don't remember the days." ”

Suddenly paused, Zhu Youxiao seemed to remember something.

It's been a month, and I don't know what happened to those guys, so it's time to take a look!

…………………

"Mr. Song—" Xu Fuyuan called respectfully and softly, even in the face of Song Yingxing, who was a little unkempt, he did not change his attitude.

Song Yingxing was concentrating on boiling lard in a small pot, and there were some unknown substances piled up on the table next to him.

The lard in the pot was all melted, Song Yingxing added some lime to it, stirred it with a wooden stick for a long time, and then turned his head lazily and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Fuyuan accompanied the smiling face and said, "May I ask Mr. Song, blowing air into the lime water, first it was turbid, and then it became clear, what is going on?" ”

Song Yingxing rolled his eyes, squinted at Xu Fuyuan, and said disdainfully: "There is an explanation in the book, look at it yourself." ”

Xu Fuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't understand it!" ”

Song Yingxing snorted and said, "If you read the book a few times, you will naturally understand." Don't be opportunistic, you will get nothing and waste this opportunity. ”

Xu Fuyuan scratched his head and wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by a sudden scream.

This row of rooms is home to various laboratories, or workshops.

The voice came from the next room, and Xu Fuyuan remembered that it was Zhang Yitai busy working inside. He thought something was wrong and hurried away.

There were several people who rushed over, and when they pushed the door open, they saw Zhang Yitai dancing with his hands. Looking at his demeanor, the scream just now is not quite accurate, it should be an exclamation, or a shout of joy.

"Brother Zhang." Xu Fuyuan took a few steps forward, pulled Zhang Yitai's sleeve, and asked anxiously: "But where are the burns and cuts, do you want to call the doctor over?" ”

Zhu Youxiao had expected that these people were in a hurry when they started the experiment, and it was inevitable that there would be a small injury and accident, so he specially arranged for a doctor to take care of them here.

Zhang Yitai laughed, pushed Xu Fuyuan away, and said, "What is the doctor, there is nothing to do." ”

As he spoke, he let Xu Fu look at the small object in his hand from afar, and said happily: "It turns out that there are really small things in the world that cannot be seen by the eyes, and a drop of water is unpredictable. Buddhism has a saying: one flower is one world. It's really not a bald donkey talking nonsense. ”

To be able to see microorganisms in water, a microscope with at least two hundred times magnification is required. It was observed for the first time in history by Leeuwenhoek with a monolithic microscope that he had ground himself.

After seeing the hideous appearance of lice, Zhang Yitai became interested in microscopes. He was very intelligent, and after studying the optical principles in the book, he also began to sharpen his lenses himself.

In the Academy of Sciences, there are not only scholars who are obsessed with learning, but also blacksmiths, carpenters, jewelers, etc., who create applications for these clumsy guys.

The jeweler, on the other hand, has the tools to polish the gemstones, as well as the related skills.

After watching the jeweler work for a few days, Zhang Yitai was not satisfied with the grinding lenses and began to do it himself.

And today's microscope, but Zhang Yitai worked day and night for more than half a month to complete, the simplest compound microscope described in the book, finally let him know the existence of another world.

Xu Fuyuan took the microscope and observed the water droplets on the glass piece.

Zhang Yitai was still unsatisfied, and excitedly described to the few people who entered the house, "There are many very small living creatures in the water, alive, beautiful and active, some like spears shooting through the water, some like spinning tops, and some wandering flexibly and ......in groups."

"Is it just a drop of water?" Someone asked, "Then aren't we the little creatures who drink countless in our stomachs every day?" ”

"Come and see if you don't believe it!" Zhang Yitai was a little contemptuous of this person, rolled his eyes and said: "What if you drink it in your stomach, after so many years, we are not still good."

Xu Fuyuan held the microscope and made a surprised voice, "Sure enough, it is, but people can't even dream that there is a world that can't be seen with the eyes." ”

Everyone was suspicious, and stepped forward to observe one by one, which was similar to Xu Fuyuan's performance, shocked and unbelievable.

Zhang Yitai pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, thinking that these guys were all dirt buns and making a fuss. In fact, it was the first time he saw it, but when he read it, he knew it, and it was just as hard to believe.
