"I don't care how you confuse the Holy Emperor. It's not your turn for me to train my soldiers with a hairless kid like you. Once I build your fire blunderbuss, I will naturally ask you for credit."
Naturally, when entering Shenji Camp, you must first meet with Deputy General Liu Sheng.
While Liu Sheng was speaking, he lowered his head and cut the roasted lamb leg with a sharp dagger without looking at him at all.
His attitude could no longer be described as contempt, it was simply boredom.
"Thank you for your support, general. I will obey your instructions." Xu Qin didn't say a word.
If we hate each other, it would be better not to see each other.
Guarding Qianhu was considered a top official in Shenji Camp. Xu Qin received his official seal and waist badge after arriving.
There is also his own exclusive office room, which is a simple small courtyard next to the main hall of coach Liu Sheng.
The outer room is his office, and the backyard is his living area. It was enough for three people, but even Xu Hao found it too miserable.
"Brother, this is smaller than our toilet." Even Xu Hao, a commoner, disliked it.
Xu Qin put his hands in his sleeves and shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness. Liu Sheng refused to allow him to train the army because he just didn't want to move.
It's just that this environment is really harsh. Since time travel, all I have enjoyed is the large carved bed, the warm jade and the fragrance, and I never tire of fine food.
Look at now, one heaven and one hell. Xu Qin greeted Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang again.
The only one who can adapt is Zhang Yuanxing. According to Bai Pu, this guy's martial arts has reached the level of a master.
Grandmaster Zhang had already started cleaning. At this moment, two soldiers in their late teens and early twenties arrived.
They were specially assigned to serve Xu Qin, who guarded Qianhu.
So the cleaning task was immediately taken over by two people, two honest people created in the feudal era.
Even an adult dared not raise his head to look at anyone.
One is named Zhang Daniu and the other is named Li Erbing. Xu Hao almost stopped laughing. Daniel could still understand what these two cakes meant.
After asking, I found out that his eldest brother's name was Big Pie, so he naturally called him Er Pie.
"Brother Danniu, isn't your brother called Erniu?" Xu Hao quickly got involved with the two soldiers and asked.
"Young Master, my brother's name is Zhang Can and he is a scholar." Zhang Daniu said with some pride.
After they finished cleaning up, Xu Qin had a chat with them in person.
Xu Qin asked about some serious matters. The Shenji Battalion was divided into five armies: Zuoshao, Youshao, Zuoye, Youye, and the Central Army.
Among them, the central army Liu Sheng led alone, and the rest were the four thousand-household commanders. He is the fifth Qianhu here.
But he had no soldiers, because he was not responsible for fighting, but only for training and forging firearms.
In addition, there is an admiral Wang Timur up here. He is a Mongolian eunuch.
But don't worry about that eunuch. The one who can come to this Shenji camp to serve as the admiral is the eunuch who is trusted by Zhu Di.
Among the five armies, there are also two ministers under each army, namely the chief officer and the commander-in-chief. In principle, Xu Qin can mobilize these people as long as they are trained.
But that was in principle. With Liu Sheng's attitude now, no one would listen to him.
Moreover, to train and mobilize the army, Liu Sheng's consent must be obtained, otherwise no one will obey his orders.
"Pack up and get ready to go home. We'll go to the war station tomorrow." Xu Qin thought that since he didn't like himself, he shouldn't talk nonsense.
Casting fire guns is a matter for the Military Staff Bureau, so it is better to go directly to the Military War Bureau to report.
If Zhu Di hadn't insisted on doing it himself, if he hadn't agreed to Zheng He. Wouldn't it be nice to hold a beautiful woman in your arms at home, eat hot pot and drink wine?
It's freezing and snowy to come to this poor place, and you have to put a hot face on a cold butt. Is Uncle Anyuan very good?
"Mr. Xu, you're here. If you don't come, I'll go to my house to invite you." A man with a height of 1.8 meters, but a big face and no beard walked in.
Xu Qin quickly stood up. The person in front of him was familiar, but he didn't recognize him.
"Hey, look at my memory, our Wang Timur is the admiral of the Shenji Camp." The visitor introduced.
Xu Qin suddenly realized that the person coming was actually a eunuch. I really can't tell at all that he looks like a Mongolian. Apart from the fact that he doesn't have a beard, he looks as capable as Liu Sheng.
"I've met the Admiral. I should be here to pay homage to you. Why am I so embarrassed to ask you to come in person?" Xu Qin said politely.
"We are all doing things for His Majesty. There is no need to be so particular. Everything is ready and waiting for Mr. Xu."
Wang Timur is vigorous and resolute, unlike ordinary eunuchs who are feminine and moody. Pull Xu Qin and leave.
Only when we got to the place did we realize that the Bingzhan Bureau had already moved the things here. Just waiting for Xu Qin to arrive, he began to build a new type of firecracker.
This admiral was definitely a career-oriented eunuch. He didn't give Xu Qin a chance to buffer. He waved his hand, cheered the craftsmen and several young eunuchs and surrounded him.
When Xu Qin started to ask about this new type of fire gun, Xu Qin started the discussion inexplicably before he could be polite.
I don't even know when I got a gun tube in my hand.
"Actually, the fire blunderbuss I made some time ago were all defective products. You are all experts, and you must have noticed that the inner chamber of the fire blunderbuss lacked the drilling and grinding process. It will definitely explode after a long time."
Xu Qin took a firecracker and began to explain.
The three-eyed blunderbuss of this era could be cast, but the matchlock gun could not. In order to ensure the range of this thing, the barrel must be long enough.
However, the cast iron of this era is not up to standard, and there will be trachoma in it. Once it grows, it is likely to explode.
Then he focused on how to roll the barrel. These craftsmen's eyes lit up when they heard this.
He himself was a dabbler, and the actual apprentices were better than him, but his idea opened a door for these experts.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone had already started to try to build it.
In fact, the best way is to drill holes directly into the rolled steel. But this is more laborious, and there are no such tools in this era.
Before we knew it, it was dark, and these people turned up the lights to fight at night.
Xu Qin just wanted to scold her, how much money did Zhu Di give you? As for being so desperate?
But looking at the eyes that were seeking knowledge, Xu Qinxin said that this was trying to hollow me out. But I also know the way forward.
Professional matters cannot be solved at all.
By the time he returned, the moon was already high in the sky, and he was so tired that he fell asleep.
Before the meal was finished the next day, Wang Timur came with a bowl and praised the delicious pickles brought by Xu Qin's family.
After eating, they left immediately. Xu Qin didn't even know what he talked to them. Anyway, he asked him anything.
He doesn't understand technology, but he always gives clear guidance.
"I fucking remember I'm a liberal arts student, how could I know these things?" Xu Qin took a moment to take a sip of water before he had a chance to think about this question.
Xu Hao was behind him, writing down everything he said, and then organizing it into a book. Only then did he realize that this big brother was simply unfathomable.
"Brother, what is a liberal arts student?" Xu Hao asked curiously.
"Well, they are the kind of people who know a little bit about everything, but are not proficient in anything." Xu Qin laughed at himself.
"Mr. Xu, the steel frying method you mentioned is different from what we use. What does it look like? And do you think my hydraulic lathe is right?"
At this time, a craftsman came over. He was still studious and tireless even though he was over fifty years old.
"I mentioned the method of frying steel? When did I mention the lathe to you?" Xu Qin was confused.
You fucking even showed me the blueprints? If you ask me about a waterwheel, I can understand it, but if you ask me about a lathe, isn't that nonsense?
"Well, that's probably true, but when the big gear rotates once, the small gear will be driven for several weeks, so this gear should be larger and the transmission gear should be smaller."
Xu Qin pointed at the drawing unconsciously and said.
"Oh, I see, Mr. Xu is indeed a scholar of heaven and earth." The craftsman said with admiration.
Is this word a compliment to me? Xu Qin felt confused.
Xu Qin has insights that are hundreds of years beyond this era. Many commonplace things are great innovations in this era.
But times have limitations. Although it is just a blunderbuss, it has gathered the basic industries of this era.
Of course, there is no basic industry in this era. It is estimated that this term will not be born until hundreds of years later.
However, the old man Zhu Di did gather the best craftsmen to provide the greatest convenience.
More than ten days passed in a flash, and Xu Qin learned to squat by the steel-making furnace, holding a steamed bun in one hand and pickles in the other to brag to a group of craftsmen.
When he looked up, he found Zheng He looking at him with a smile, and Wang Timur was standing next to him.
"I'm telling you, Mr. Zheng, you've put me in a bad way. If it weren't for those blazing guns of yours, I wouldn't be so busy. Look at my thick hands, I can't even touch my maid."
Xu Qin raised his hand to complain, not forgetting to take a bite of steamed buns. No politeness at all.
"Master Xu, thank you for your hard work. I will definitely try my best to help you collect those things during my voyage to the West. But I ask you to work harder, sir."
Zheng He said with a smile. Xu Qin knew that something was up with him at the first glance, and he had the same expression as his master. There must be a pitfall in a smile.
A big pit for three thousand people.
Zheng He brought 3,000 people, and these 3,000 people will spend a month training new fire guns.
After training, he will go west with Zheng and Yang Fan.
