Nanming Engineer

Chapter 302

Li Huai'en held the Niao Tong that Wang Huan stuffed over, looked it over, and said: "This is a northern product from the Chongzhen period, and it is not as good as the quality of the Nanjing Bingzhan Bureau, and of course it is not as good as our own production in Kuizhou. Birds, but it’s okay, if these defective products can be rifled more accurately as the adults said, then the rifling of our new Birds will be smoother, adults just don’t worry, three days We will inspect the goods later.”

He speaks decisively and exudes confidence.

Wang Huan is very happy, this matter is so settled, he is very happy when he thinks of the scene where the Kuizhou Bird Commander holds a rifled gun and shoots in the future, the shooting stability and accuracy of the rifled gun is higher than that of the smoothbore gun At the same level, even if a recruit who has never been exposed to the bird system, after a few months of training, he can become a usable soldier, which is much easier than training a mature archer.

Next, it’s time to think about the problem of replacing the matchlock gun with the suifa gun. Thinking of this, Wang Huan has a headache. He specializes in mining and is not a superman with his own system. The suifa gun from hundreds of years ago is He had never seen anything before, so he didn't know where to start, so he had to put it aside for now and wait until the conditions were right.

Maybe ask those Portuguese red-haired ghosts in Macau, maybe you can get something.

As soon as this thought came to him, Wang Huan shook his head, Macau was in Guangdong, even if Li Chengdong killed him, he would not give up the red-haired ghost in his hand.

In the military battle bureau, I discussed some things with Li Huai'en, and looked at the heavily guarded extermination ammunition production factory, and it became dark that day. That night, Wang Huan stayed overnight in the military battle bureau.

The next day, after explaining everything, Wang Huan said goodbye to Li Huaien, Ma Chongming and others who came to see him off, and went straight to Kuizhou Mansion to rule Fengjie.

Get on the boat at Xituo Town, go down the river, and soon arrive at the pier of Baidi City in Fengjie. Xu Tiezhu, the prefect of Kuizhou, has already been waiting by the pier.

The two reunited this time, and it has been a year since they saw each other, and both of them have changed greatly. Needless to say, Wang Huan is getting taller and taller every day, and his sturdy body is not much different from Li Tingyu's. out.As for Xu Tiezhu, he is no longer the short little novice novice. He has jumped a head in a year. Although he is not as tall as Wang Huan, he is tall and straight in this day and age, with a long scarf on his head and a Confucian robe. Boots with thousand layers of cloth bottom, clear and bright face, bright eyes and handsome, literati spirit ready to come out.

As soon as the two met, they gave a big hug, hugged each other affectionately and patted each other's backs, laughing loudly and endlessly.

"God, you are almost as tall as me, tell me! What good food did you eat in Kuizhou these days?" Wang Huan smiled and pulled Xu Tiezhu away, looked up and down from a distance, and said jokingly.

Xu Tiezhu yelled that he was wronged, shook his head and pretended to be wronged, and shouted: "Uncle Pingliang, don't talk nonsense, the official cares about the people, except for a little pork head meat provided by the government every day, there is no oily smell, the people I will eat whatever I want, simple tea and light meals, vegetables and rice, and I would like to ask my uncle to give me some money for the tooth festival."

As he said that, he leaned closer with a straight face, and said with a rogue-like look: "Being an uncle, the court has rewarded you a lot, right? Come and spend some money?"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed, Wang Huan said with a smile: "The uncle of the imperial court is not as good as you and my brother, this earl, you treat me like that, go, go, fuck you!" Yamen of the magistrate, I want to have a good meal, and eat poor Kuizhou mansion!"

Xu Tiezhu laughed even more: "If you are poor, why don't you pull money from the silver mines to provide relief? What's the point? Besides, the weather is good in Kuizhou now, fertile fields are everywhere, the official warehouses are full, and there is so much food that it is almost overflowing. Well, with just the few mouths of your lord, you won’t be able to eat it all until next year.”

"Oh?" Wang Huan was very interested, and he restrained his arrogant smile and said: "There is so much food that it is almost overflowing? Tell me carefully."

Xu Tiezhu helped him get on the horse, and jumped on the other horse himself. The two drove the horse slowly side by side, all the way to Fengjie City, chatting all the way.

Xu Tiezhu told Wang Huan everything about his becoming a student under Chen Qiyu and accepting him as a close disciple. These days, in addition to dealing with official duties, Xu Tiezhu has been working closely with Chen Qiyu as a professor and learned everything Chen Qiyu has learned throughout his life, including astronomy. Geography, art of war, and political affairs, he taught everything and learned everything. He taught seriously and learned carefully. After one year, Xu Tiezhu had already achieved some success.

"Hehe, no wonder you dressed decently today, so you were taught by Mr. Chen." Wang Huan said with a smile. From the very beginning, he felt that Xu Tiezhu's clothes were a bit out of place, unlike the tasteless and boring style of this kid before.

But as the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, Xu Tiezhu is wearing a scholarly uniform, coupled with a well-educated temperament, it is indeed almost unrecognizable as if it were a different person.

"Schools should look at each other with admiration for three days. Brother, Chen Xiang and I have been taken care of by you since we fled from Yangzhou. If it wasn't for you, we would have died in that corner. I'm afraid even the bones were picked up by wild dogs." Xu Tiezhu leisurely Dao, with a flat and sincere tone: "I have long wanted to do my part for Eldest Brother, but I am light and weak, and I don't know anything, so how can I help? In front of this magistrate, I am just guarding the stall."

"But after worshiping Mr. Chen as a teacher, I discovered that learning can be so wonderful. It can also teach a little beggar like me to become a great man. Sir, he is truly an astonishing talent, and his strategy is as vast as the ocean, boundless."

"I was under his school, and I was hungry and thirsty every day to learn knowledge. I was afraid that my qualifications would be dull, and I would fail Mr. Chen's expectations. Fortunately, over the years, although I have learned a lot, I have achieved something in the end. Today's Xu Tiezhu is no longer in Yangzhou City. That little monk, who is as fearful as an ant and ignorant as a white man, is not as good as Big Brother Wanyi, but he can still be called a beginner in literature and science, with a clear mind, and in the future, he will be able to manage this corner of northern Sichuan to satisfy Big Brother!"

Xu Tiezhu's narration was like gurgling water, natural and plain, his eyes seemed calm, but they concealed fiery emotions, expressing the brotherhood clearly.

Wang Huan rode on the horse, and his mood rose and fell with the horse, both happy and gratified. Now Chen Xiang is active in the dark line, in charge of the spy team, and has become an indispensable important figure in Kuizhou.Xu Tiezhu is young and still young, and he didn't want him to fight the world with his life and death, and stay in the safe rear to be a peace official like Ma Chongming, enjoying his life, but he didn't expect him to study and study spontaneously, worshiping the great god Chen Qiyu as his teacher , to contribute to Wang Huan's career, this emotion is so important.

"Mr. Chen is a great talent. You are lucky enough to get started. Cherish your time, work hard, and live up to what you teach." Wang Huan encouraged. He knew that people like Chen Qiyu are not easy to accept students. Xu Tiezhu must not know No matter how many times I asked for advice, I had this opportunity. Of course, I shouldn’t waste it: “By the way, where is Mr. Chen?”

"Since last month, Mr.'s health has been deteriorating. In the past few days, he has been unable to get out of bed, and the water and rice can't be eaten. I sent people around to search for doctors and medicines. I asked countless good doctors, but the medicine was useless. They all said that Mr. Yang's lifespan is coming to an end. , Days of reincarnation, there is no medicine to save." Xu Tiezhu's expression suddenly became sad, he frowned and shook his head and said: "I will put him in the Yayuan quiet room in the backyard of the magistrate's yamen. If you are free, you can visit him."

Wang Huan was startled when he heard this, but felt helpless relief after thinking about it. In history, Chen Qiyu had died of illness as early as the year before the year before. It was already a great surprise that he could be bedridden until now. He sighed and said softly: "I'm going, I'm going, if it wasn't for his strong rival He Tengjiao, my Kuizhou foundation may have changed hands, he has done a lot, of course I will go."

"Yes, last year He Tengjiao sent tens of thousands of soldiers from Huguang to attack along the Yangtze River. It was all up to the elder brother to ask Mr. Chen to guard the Kuizhou mansion before he was forced to retreat. Otherwise, the younger brother would never be able to guard the Kuimen." Xu Tiezhu was deeply touched. Dao: "Compared with the Kuizhou army of the elder brother, the firearms battalion he founded has the same effect. With only 500 elite soldiers, he repelled tens of thousands of Huguang soldiers. The elder brother's adoptive mother, Qin Taijun, praised the battle report. I can't help but say that Mr. Chen really deserves to be the one who almost killed Li Zicheng."

"Firearms camp?" Wang Huan raised his eyebrows. Chen Qiyu was known to be good at using firearms. This firearms camp was worth asking: "What kind of firearms camp?"
