Chapter 21 Wu Yanran entered the pharmacy

"It should all come from Dengzhou, whether it is the army of the imperial court or Kong Youde's rebels, they are all scourging the people, rather than staying in their hometown and dying, it is better to come out and find a way to live! This escape will not be worse than staying in my hometown! Liu Xiaoliu hurriedly replied.

"Outcasts!" Such a word instantly appeared in Yu Feng's mind, if he wants to say anything about the Ming Dynasty, he is most impressed, undoubtedly these homeless people who lack food and clothing, and even in the end, the world of the Ming Dynasty died in the hands of Li Zicheng's army of homeless people, and it is difficult for him not to be impressed.

However, at this moment, he was also a little unbearable, he was a man who would throw two coins into the beggar's bowl even when he crossed the underground overpass, and when he saw the miserable situation of these beggars in front of him, and found that he was actually powerless about what happened to them, he really didn't know what he should do except for a slight sideways look. These people obviously can't save them by giving them a few dollars or a full meal.

The guards at the city gate interrogated a few words, and then looked at Yu Feng's farewell, for this military colleague, they obviously lack enough respect, in fact, they will not treat any guy who has no oil and water, what Yu Feng and others have entered is that those guards even laughed at them a few words. It's just that Yu Feng didn't pay attention to them.

There were whispers from the soldiers behind him, and Yu Feng touched the confession in his pocket, ignored it, and silently entered the city. He wouldn't be so painful that he had nothing to trouble with these guys who said cool things, but Liu Xiaoliu and Zhao Deng raised their eyebrows at those soldiers, but when they saw that Yu Feng was indifferent, they followed them into the city stupidly.

After entering Lingshan City, among the accompanying longhair, there are many times who have been here, and they are familiar with the roads in the city. A group of people along the outer street, slowly walking forward, Chongzhen six years of May, the weather is not as hot as now, walking on the official road, the sun is directly shining, there is a little heat, to the city, everywhere is cool, the sun is not so strong, occasionally a gust of wind blows, but it makes people feel cool and comfortable.

Lingshan City is just a city with a population of 20,000 or 30,000, in this era, the government may not pay much attention to the appearance of the city or something, to say that there is any scenery on the outer street near the city wall, it may not be, but from time to time you can see a few shops doing business, and occasionally there are people in and out of threes and threes, how much it brings a bit of prosperity, at least, compared to the simplicity of Zhaojia Village, it is already considered prosperous here.

The house of the cloth ruler must be near the inspection department, and the long hair who has been here naturally knows the place, leading Yu Feng and slowly walking forward, Yu Feng is not in a hurry, so he walks slowly. Seeing this small city with a very ancient atmosphere, Rao is Yu Feng has been in this era for more than a year, and there is still a feeling of time and space disorder, this atmosphere, this atmosphere, always makes him have a lot of feelings, thinking of the time when he lived in the city in modern times, it was a time and space that was rich in material and spirit!

Thinking about it now, what we have to think about every day is how to survive better in the last days of the Ming Dynasty, boiling my body every day, thinking about making the business of private salt bigger and stronger, first attacking my competitors by unscrupulous means, and then cooperating with the Inspection Department, colluding with officials and businessmen in the big bank. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, what is the difference between his behavior and those underworld leaders in later generations, if he insists on saying something different, it is that his original intention is different. Those underworlds are just for money, and they are for survival, for the present and the future to survive.

Liu Xiaoliu and Zhao Deng ran to a chestnut stall, bought a large bag of sugar-fried chestnuts, and ate them with a dazzled smile. Yu Feng shook his head with a smile, anyway, there was nothing too anxious to enter the city, so they had to go.

"Go to the shop in front!" Wu Yanran, who had been depressed since she entered the city, pointed her hand forward, and made a cold voice, interrupting Yu Feng's thoughts.

Yu Feng looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a huge plaque above the shop in front of her, with the words "Rejuvenation Hall" written on it, this shop turned out to be a medicine shop.

"Are you unwell?" Yu Feng asked in a low voice, along the way, Wu Yanran talked and laughed with him, not like he was uncomfortable, but since he was a woman, maybe it was really necessary to go to the pharmacy.

"Won't you know if you're coming along?" Wu Yanran took three steps and made two steps, walked in front of him, and walked straight towards the pharmacy, without forgetting to look back and smile, and dropped such a sentence.

I don't want to come along, but am I relieved? What should I do if my God of Wealth is abducted? Yu Feng muttered, led everyone, and followed him in.

The pharmacy is not very big, there is actually a Lang Zhong sitting in the clinic, behind him, there is a guy, who is busy in front of the high medicine shelf, according to the prescription prescribed by Lang Zhong, methodically grasping the medicine, seeing this group of people coming in, this guy swept his eyelids, and then went to busy his business.

"How many of you are going to see a doctor or taking medicine?" Lang Zhong sat there steadily, and said to the group.

Yu Feng looked at Wu Yanran, and he didn't know whether Wu Yanran was seeing a doctor or taking medicine. However, this problem, after a few seconds, is no longer a problem.

"Grab the medicine!" Wu Yanran replied crisply.

Seeing that it was a medicine, Na Langzhong didn't even bother to say anything, and pointed at the guy, meaning that you can just look for him.

"Bring it here!"

"There's no recipe, it's just a matter of grabbing a few common medicines, do you have sulfur here?" Wu Yanran said: "It's best to be the high-grade sulfur from the Wa Kingdom!" ”

Wu Yanran and the guy said without a match, this Yu Feng muttered in his heart, buy sulfur, what's wrong with this girl, he remembered that when he was in school, several buddies in the dormitory had sores on their skin, and they used this sulfur ointment, the smell was terrible, this girl didn't look like she had a skin problem, the doctor was on the side, she was really sick, she had to listen to the doctor for what medicine to use, and she couldn't make her own decisions.

"Well, wrap this up, you have it!"

What is the importance of miscanthus salt? I have to say that Yu Feng's attention is now on this Wu Yanran, and when she heard Wu Yanran's mouth popping out of medicine again, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, this girl seems to be quite good at prescribing medicine to herself! However, what was even more strange was that he heard this word a little familiarly, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Sulfur, miscanthus? Wait a minute... Mirabilite? Isn't it saltpeter? With charcoal, and a small amount of other mess, isn't this the raw material for black powder? As soon as he figured out the connection, Yu Fengdeng was startled, without such a scary, didn't this girl plan to make some black powder by herself!

Wu Yanran has a musket, when they first met, he knew that since there is a musket, there must be propellants, projectiles or something, this girl has them, even if these things are used up, she should find someone to buy them outside, but this girl actually wants to prepare the gunpowder by herself silently, which is too unreliable. Is he still from more than 300 years ago, and he still doesn't have this idea for the time being? In the Ming Dynasty, the raw materials of gunpowder could be bought in a pharmacy, and the control of dangerous goods was not too backward.

The appearance of firearms in the Ming Dynasty, in his opinion, is not a strange thing, in fact, he still far underestimated the status of firearms in the Ming Dynasty, as early as the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, there was the existence of a formed firearms unit, to Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Di, it was specially established Shenji Battalion, the main weapons of the Shenji Battalion, is artillery and firearms. Moreover, the supporting tactics, such as the three-stage shooting invented by the Ming Dynasty general Mu Ying, are more than 100 years ahead of the similar tactics invented by the Prussian king Ferent in Europe.

The so-called three-stage shooting is to line up the firecrackers into three rows, and after discovering that the enemy soldiers are advancing, the first line fires the firearms first, and then the second and third lines continue to fire...... Forward and backward, second and second; and do not retreat, the second line retreats, and the three lines follow).

Moreover, according to the "Ming Huidian" and "Wubei Zhi" records, since the beginning of the Longqing period, the firearms used by the Ming army have been very good, the book describes: "Firearm name: five thunder god machine, installed in the early years of Longqing, there are five barrels, each one foot five inches long, weighs five catties, each has a crosshair, the handle is equipped with a general light door and a copper tube, the barrel can be rotated, in an instant, it can be fired in turn. In this way, these five Thor machines are roughly equivalent to today's revolvers, and they are still fired in bursts.

The above is just pediatrics, according to historical records, there are more than 20 kinds of muskets equipped by the Ming army, and most of them are multi-barreled firearms, and they are noisy, not to mention loading, and they don't even need to aim.

Although it is now the Chongzhen period, however, the little thing left by the ancestors has not been tossed clean by the descendants, and the entire Ming Dynasty is so familiar with this firearm, and it is difficult to buy some raw materials for making gunpowder. By the way, Emperor Jiajing is good at cultivating, he reigned for a while, up and down, the people are very hot, this sulfur saltpeter, but the necessary material for Taoist alchemy, the emperor has cultivated alchemy, isn't the people allowed to learn? Even in the later generations when the management of firearms is so strict, a few black gun processing factories are caught from time to time, is it still a matter compared to this nature of Wu Yanran's now?
