------- new January, I wish you all happiness and health! Happy Children's Day! The fisherman has to work hard! -------

This Jin master craftsman named Wan Chun, the word Fu Hua, and the word Zhonghua, Zhejiang Yongkang, is one of the only two remaining masters of the Mo family, known as the jade arm craftsman, in addition to a superb Mo family machine skills, more good at stone drum gold text, gold stone seal, calligraphy is especially unique, can be said to be a talent, but also the founder of the later generations of gold and stone science, but Xiao Ming does not know.

The water boat he designed and built is a kind of jet boat that can use human pressure to push the hull to move, which is whimsical and unprecedented! And the kind of spring lock that Xiao Ming had seen before was also designed by him, and there was a key part in it that was very important to Xiao Ming's plan, that is, the spring!

Spring is a very useful tool part, there are in ancient China, but at that time the spring was limited by the material, the workmanship of the machine was limited, but now Xiao Ming has elastic steel, if this material is used as a projectile weapon that Xiao Ming wants to develop, then when the development of gunpowder can not complete the musket artillery, it can be a high-power weapon that replaces the crossbow.

The persistence of this idea made Xiao Ming continue to entangle the gold master, jointly study the spring, and improve the shooting of a marble crossbow in later generations, abandon the design of the crossbow arm, and use the design of the double-wire spring, and launch the marble through the tubular guide rail, for which Xiao Ming specially built a small blast furnace in the station, the production of desulfurization and decarburization of a new type of elastic steel, the steel rod is drawn into a steel wire, although a little thick but enough, and then twisted into a spring according to a certain torque, and quenched to increase the strength of the spring, So as to complete the whole process.

The experiment was very successful, a variety of different specifications of springs, they made a lot, after testing and discussion, the final use of the spring contraction kinetic energy, not the rebound kinetic energy, to use as the power of the marble, the marble gun is very small, can be strong to launch the marble to about 200 steps, within 500 steps, the destructive power is amazing, can actually penetrate the cowhide, this is still the use of mud bullets, if replaced by lead and tin made of metal bullets, then in the distance of 80 to 100 steps will be the cowhide hole.

Xiao Ming was extremely happy about this, this is just like a large pistol, the Black God Crossbow is extremely powerful at a distance of three or four hundred steps, but due to the time limit of the crossbow winding, the enemy rushes to a distance of fifty to one hundred steps, it is not easy to aim, and it affects the lethality, at this time, if you prepare for close combat, it is too wasteful of manpower, if you have this kind of supplementary weapon, you will shoot it within twenty meters and thirty meters when the enemy rushes close.

The invention of this projectile weapon greatly encouraged Xiao Ming's self-confidence, for which he invented a lot of projectiles, including thistles wrapped in mud shells, round lead-tin bullets, and rotating rifling drawn out according to the tubular guide rail, Xiao Ming also made a pointed cone-shaped projectile, and the projectile launched can penetrate the iron armor under the rotation and acceleration! This surprised the master craftsman, and he became interested in rifling.

People are not satisfied, Xiao Ming is a typical example, the general money fans are not satisfied, Xiao Ming is a typical money fan, with a powerful bullet gun is the guarantee that he wants to do more business with the government, not to mention that he also wants to invent muskets and artillery, in the eyes of others Xiao Ming is not only mysterious, but also a strange person, more than one person in the iron factory has found out, Xiao Ming secretly collected the soil in the corner of the wall in the toilet alone, of course he didn't know that Xiao Ming was collecting nitrate, and thought that Xiao Ming had a heavy taste, Need to eat some dung to increase the flexibility of the mind.

Fortunately, this kind of thing has not been spread, because Xiao Ming has given up this method and pinned his hopes on Ding Jianpeng to find saltpeter mines. So much so that when Master Jin explained to him what the rubbings on the strip of cloth were, he didn't pay attention to them until he saw An Daoquan.

An Daoquan is here to say goodbye, he has been in Xiuzhou, the people of Hangzhou temporarily live in Xiuzhou lack of medical treatment, injuries and illnesses, so that An Daoquan wants to help the world but can not get, can only treat the people with a medical skill, but in the process of practicing medicine, An Daoquan has a strong interest in trauma surgery, and then for the iron factory wounded people to treat, he found that his original medical skills and unsolvable problems, but because there are no books and anatomical drawings at hand that can be used for study, so he wants to sneak back to Hangzhou, went to find the corpses of the rebels who died in the war to do research, but he didn't tell Xiao Mingming, only said that he would go to a Qingdao man and discuss something.

In view of the fact that Hangzhou is currently occupied by the rebels, Xiao Ming only arranged to send some food to Lingyin Temple on a regular basis, and asked Gongsun Sheng to take care of the people who avoided trouble, and Gongsun Sheng agreed, and now An Daoquan proposed to find Gongsun Sheng, Xiao Ming immediately thought of the cloth rubbing.

The words on the rubbings of the cloth strip have been translated by Jin Wanchun, and there are eight big characters on them: "There is a thunder pool in the sky, and the water cannot be discharged!" It's just that Xiao Ming is studying the spring and doesn't take it to heart.

Speaking of this, Xiao Ming immediately thought of treasure, 600,000 catties of gold! It's not a small amount, since An Daoquan knows the whereabouts of the treasure, why is it stuck on a small rubbing? If An Dao doesn't say anything, it is estimated that no one will know, unless Gongsun Sheng also knows, but the two of them obviously will not tell others easily.

Xiao Ming's heart was itchy and difficult to sweep, but he didn't dare to expose it, knowing that it was not possible to reach it quickly, it was better to stretch the line and wait for the opportunity slowly, so he told An Daoquan that the words on the cloth rubbing had been deciphered, and told him that there were only eight words in total.

"There is a thunder pool in the sky, and the water cannot be drained!" An Daoquan muttered in his mouth, frowning and thinking.

Xiao Ming said: "Doctor An, I know that these eight words are the key to the treasure that Guo Huai, Gou Juling and others have been trying to find, and they are also the bane of your imprisonment, but now that Guo Huai and the others are dead, I don't know what the divine doctor has planned?" ”

An Daoquan squinted at him, with a smile on his face, "You seem to care about this treasure?" ”

"Wrong!" Xiao Ming said, "What I care about now is not what treasures, but the people of Hangzhou!" ”

"Oh?" Antao is noncommittal.

Xiao Ming said: "Now the southeast is in turmoil, the people are poisoned by the rebels, running and shouting and can not be saved, although the imperial army will come soon, but the people are particularly bitter under the war, and now there are flowers and stones for the disaster, the south of the Yangtze River is gradually desolate, the land of the south of the Yangtze River is the root of my Great Song Dynasty, and now it is greatly damaged, how to recover?" Besides, I conclude that within a few years, the northern captives will be chaotic, the country of the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, and money and property are only valuable when they are used, otherwise it will be a dead thing, rubbing to you, the divine doctor will go to find the treasure, and if you need my help, you will say, I only hope that after the divine doctor gets the treasure, don't forget the people of the world."

An Daoquan was shocked when he heard this, and bowed to the ground and said: "Brother Xiao, I misunderstood you, you are really not a person who is greedy for wealth, don't worry, I, An Daoquan, will not disappoint my brother's wishes,"

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but said: "In the future, you and I will be commensurate with each other, and I will have one more relative in this world!" He turned and left.

Xiao Ming was dumbfounded, he said impassionedly for a long time just now, but he didn't think that people not only didn't take him to hunt for treasures, but also recognized a big brother for no reason, "Then am I a person who is not greedy for money?" Xiao Ming muttered to himself, feeling a little frustrated.

"Humph! I don't believe that he doesn't beg me, but I have money and people now, look at how you two move 600,000 catties of gold," Xiao Ming said secretly.

Next, Xiao Ming is not so concerned, anyway, Andaoquan treasure hunting, he will eventually participate, to not be busy for a while, it is better to settle down and improve the bullet gun, and Su Bi their steam engine, last time they put forward several improvement suggestions, such as: boiler and combustion chamber integration, fuel can be replaced with coal, sealing and heat dissipation problems also need to be improved, etc., I don't know how to do it, scientific research is endless, once you devote yourself to it, it will be day and night, fortunately, Xiao Ming is a lazy person, after putting forward the idea, and the rest of the craftsmen will solve it.

Xiao Ming's life is very comfortable now, the reason is that Su Caier pulled Shen Bei'er and the two asked Xiao Ming to accompany him to play, so Xiuzhou South Lake is the place where the three of them linger the most, the three of them took a boat out of the lake to cast nets and fish, drank around the fireplace, had a lot of fun, and the relationship developed rapidly, Xiao Ming was no longer restrained, and the jokes were endless, fortunately, he was more restrained, and the meat jokes and yellow jokes basically didn't dare to talk about it, the two daughters were interested in Xiao Ming, but no one brought it up, but often a look, a movement can be revealed, Su Caier has a steady temperament, Shen Bei'er has a naughty temperament, the two daughters have the same appearance, but they are different, one is quiet and beautiful, the other has pretty eyebrows and eyes, Xiao Mingle is unbearable, "Hehe! This is the legendary blessing of Qi people! ”……

The New Year of the second year of Xuanhe has passed, the rebels of the Demon Sect are entrenched in Hangzhou, Fang La sent troops to attack everywhere, the southeastern counties have fallen one after another, and various places have also responded with troops, and the situation is more urgent for a while, at this time, the imperial court reinforcements defeated the rebels of the Demon Sect branch Shisheng in Suzhou, and arrived in Xiuzhou in batches led by Tong Guan.

At the beginning of February of the third year of Xuanhe, Tong Guan's 150,000 troops arrived in Xiuzhou, the morale of the officials and soldiers was greatly boosted, but the government blocked the news from the outside world, the demon rebels did not get any news, the 50,000 forbidden troops were the elite of the Western Army, and the remaining 100,000 Han soldiers were all Qin and Jin good soldiers, and the army was camped ten miles outside the city.

Tong Guan took over the defense of Xiuzhou, and convened people from all walks of life and local gentry and celebrities to discuss the matter of retiring thieves, Xiao Ming was invited, looking for gentry celebrities and merchants is nothing more than to sponsor, everyone knows it, but Tong Guan how to offend this person, and obey the instructions of the industry.

It was the first time for Xiao Ming to see this traitor, known as one of the "six thieves" of the Song Dynasty, so closely, but seeing that the person on the throne had a handsome face, a burly body, and a beard under his chin, Xiao Ming secretly wondered in his stomach, "Why doesn't this Tong Guan look like a eunuch!" He didn't know that Tong Guan was not purified until he was twenty years old, and he was worshipping under the eunuch Li Xian at that time, and since then he has gradually become out of control.

Historical records: Tong Guanzi Daofu, Kaifeng people, sexually ingenious. The first enshrined officer, in Hangzhou for Huizong to collect calligraphy and painting Kit Kat, to help Cai Jing as the prime minister, Beijing recommended him as the northwest supervisor, led the Privy Council, held the military power for 20 years, the power of the inside and outside, when called Cai Jing "public minister", called him "concubine", one of the "six thieves".

But Tong Guan also has a nickname, which was given by later scholars, called: "Five Most Eunuchs" Why are they the Five Most? That's because Tong Guan was the longest eunuch in Chinese history;

the eunuch who held the most military power in Chinese history;

The highest eunuch in Chinese history;

The first eunuch in Chinese history to represent the state on a foreign mission;

The only eunuch in Chinese history to be canonized as king.

This record has not been broken by anyone in history, and it is estimated that no one in future generations will be able to break it.

Tong Guan's face was dark, his eyes were blazing, he glanced at the officers and many local gentry and the shopkeepers of various businesses, he was a little complacent, he was favored by the emperor, commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition.

"Everyone!" Tong Guan opened his mouth and said: "The imperial army rushed to quell the rebellion in the starry night, but the food and grass are insufficient, and the two Zhejiang roads have always had abundant money and food, in order to eliminate the demon sect traitors as soon as possible, I hope everyone must be generous and help me!" ”

……… Depend on! Sure enough, he's going to rip off!
