Zhu Zhanji followed the soldiers home, and Zhang Fu also followed. Naturally, Wang Timur is also indispensable.
Xu Qin followed the craftsmen to see the windmill. Stimulated by his generous reward, the craftsmen used their brains to make a lot of things.
Someone made a windmill based on the principle of a waterwheel. A huge windmill is built on a hillside.
Driven by the wind, the gear transmission causes the machine tool to rotate. However, the craftsmen felt like mourning their heirs.
"The thing is done, why are you not happy?" Xu Qin looked at their expressions and was a little confused.
"Back to the young master, this thing is not as stable as water power. It depends on the wind." One of the craftsmen was very embarrassed.
I feel like I wasted so much manpower, materials, and time, and the results were unsatisfactory. It's like committing a crime.
"If you don't want it, then sell it to me. I want..." Xu Qin said.
"Young Master, you don't have to take care of us. We have realized our mistake." The craftsman was unwilling to take advantage of the Young Master.
Although the young father-in-law has a reputation as a jerk, he is still kind to these craftsmen. Rewards of all kinds, never show mercy.
"Don't be afraid of trying. Many new things are constantly summed up from failures. In the future, I will set up a trial fund. It will be 50,000 taels of silver per year, allowing you to try and make mistakes. If you have ideas, you can apply, and anyone who thinks you can try it can approve."
Xu Qin waved his hand and said. Failure is the mother of success. If you study a waterwheel, you will create a windmill.
Hearing Xu Qin's words, these craftsmen immediately became excited. They didn't know whether they could succeed in many things, and they didn't dare to try them. With this fund, wouldn't it be enough?
"Thank you young master, but will the court approve it?" some craftsmen asked.
"That's my business. If the court doesn't approve it, there are other ways, but there must be money. Whatever the cost of this windmill, I'll buy it."
Xu Qin said.
"No, my young master is so kind and kind, how can I cheat you?" The head craftsman was unwilling.
"Is it so difficult to take advantage of you? This thing is unstable, but can't we build a house underneath, put a stone mill, and I can grind flour? And you, what if the wind turns to the other side?"
Xu Qin asked.
When the craftsman heard that the little country was used for this purpose, he was immediately relieved. As long as it is useful, it will be fine. Xu Qin was immediately shown the steering device.
What this thing is afraid of is lack of wind, and there are corresponding ways to deal with wind direction and wind speed.
This works out to more than 200 taels, so Xu Qin asked Xu Hao to notify his family and give them money. On the other hand, by opening a mill, the problem of eating noodles at home will be solved.
Xu Qin went to see steel-making and firecrackers again, and now the ammunition was made of paper rolls. And then there are artillery.
Xu Qin didn't understand many techniques at all, and he no longer dared to underestimate these craftsmen. Without three-dimensional concepts and three-dimensional drawings, these craftsmen could make models with just one hand.
He knows the general direction of scientific and technological progress, but the specific details are nonsense, and these people have to figure it out themselves.
Now that there is enough time, the production of gun guns can be completed with precision. Xu Qin saw the gun completely drilled out of the tube.
The effective range can reach 250 steps, and with the concept of aiming, it can be said to be very accurate.
He is discussing technical issues with the craftsmen, waiting for the technology to accumulate to a certain level, and the matchlock can be turned into a flintlock gun.
Xu Qin worked hard to pull the progress bar.
Zhu Zhanji came back, with a pale face and injuries on his body.
This frightened Xu Qin, even though it was just a scratch on his arm. But looking at the sleeves torn apart by the arrows, Xu Qin broke into a cold sweat.
"Wang Timur, are you fucking dead? How did he get injured?" Xu Qin almost hit Wang Timur, the dead eunuch, with a horse whip.
Wang Timur's face turned pale, and he was hit by two knives and an arrow.
"Old slave deserves to die, old slave deserves to die." Wang Timur pulled back his hair in pain, and all he could think of was damned.
Looking at Zhu Zhanji, the distressed old man burst into tears.
"Don't blame them, someone is going to rebel. Damn it..." Zhang Fu was covered in blood, but he was very excited.
Because this time he was following the soldiers home to visit relatives, Xu Qin asked Zhu Zhanji to go and get to know the families of these grassroots soldiers.
Understand what is going on below so that the future king of the Ming Dynasty will not understand everything.
Now was the time when the Ming Dynasty was enlightened, and it was not far from Nanjing, so he felt that nothing could happen.
He took twenty guards with him.
Who would have known that something would happen to Liu Qiba's family when they arrived at the first soldier's home in Xuanwu County.
Liu Qiba's wife was raped by a local bully. His old father went to the county government to file a complaint, but his legs were broken before he even left the village.
Before it was Liu Qiba's turn to go crazy, Zhang Fu went crazy first. He took his men and went to attack the bully Zhuangzi.
As a result, more than a hundred people with complete bows and horses rushed out from Zhuangzi and directly surrounded Zhu Zhanji and his gang.
Zhang Fu and Wang Timur fought bravely to protect Zhu Zhanji and came back. Half of the more than 20 masters were killed.
"Gather together..." Xu Qin ordered with a cold snort.
"Young Master, I don't want it. The army cannot be mobilized without orders from the Fifth Army Commander's Office or His Majesty." Wang Timur quickly stopped him.
This is his duty as an admiral.
"Who wants to mobilize the army? Gather the generals and conduct live ammunition exercises with the entire army." Xu Qin ordered coldly.
Wang Timur would not dare to let him do this even if he was beaten to death, otherwise he would really be dead.
"Master Xu, no, this is destroying your future." Wang Timur stopped him with all his strength.
Xu Qin was in this state, there was a drill, he was clearly going to kill someone.
"Great, I don't want to be a bad official for a long time. Zhang Yuanxing..." Xu Qin sneered.
Zhang Yuanxing stretched out his hand and cut Wang Timur's neck directly. Wang Timur's eyes rolled over and he fell to the ground.
The drums were beating to gather the generals, and Xu Qin was sitting in the middle of the army waiting.
Four thousand households were startled when they heard the gathering drum. Thinking that Zhu Di was here again, he quickly gathered the Chinese army.
Everyone stopped training, packed up their equipment, and gathered at the designated location.
Taking advantage of Lei Gu's time to gather his generals, Zhang Fu had already marked the location and specific situation on the map.
"The whole army is conducting drills today. All departments are working step by step. No one is allowed to leave their duties. Pei Cheng, you can direct the drills on my behalf."
Xu Qin directly issued the general order.
Pei Cheng was stunned, what's going on?
"Your order," Pei Cheng could only say.
"Select five hundred cavalry separately, and seven hundred fire gun soldiers will be under my command, and we will follow up on the drill independently. The others will be under your command."
Xu Qin ordered.
The other three thousand households are all confused. What kind of gameplay is this?
Soon five hundred well-armed cavalry and seven hundred gunmen with live ammunition arrived.
The other teams began to enter the preparation state, and Pei Cheng and the three thousand households were formulating an exercise plan.
Xu Qin left the team with 500 cavalry and 700 firecrackers.
"Cousin, I'll go with you." Zhu Zhanji knew what Xu Qin was going to do and was eager to try.
"Go away, remember to visit me when I enter the Jinyiwei Prison." After Xu Qin said this, he waved his hand and the team set off quickly.
Five hundred cavalrymen, led by Xu Qin, rushed out of the camp like a black torrent and headed straight for Erwangzhuang in Xuanwu County.
Luo Zhong followed closely with seven hundred fire gun soldiers.
"Brother Pei, why did the young master leave the camp? Is there such a thing in the code of conduct?" Peng Shuan asked doubtfully.
"Where is Admiral Wang?" Pei Cheng's hair suddenly stood on end.
"Oh no, where did the young master take the people? How much gunpowder did the fire gun soldiers bring?" Niu Lu's lips trembled.
"No need to ask, Luo Zhong leads the team. They must be fully armed, enough to fight a big battle." Ouyang Ming's calves felt weak.
They thought of a possibility, but when they saw Zhu Zhanji's figure, they thought it was impossible.
If the young master had any evil intentions, he would be the first to kidnap this person.
"My cousin went to avenge me, and Admiral Wang was tied up. I will take care of anything..." Zhu Zhanji said loyally.
But this was like throwing a grenade. When the four thousand households asked what was going on, Peicheng suddenly started sweating.
He said in his heart, "What the hell are you doing for your ancestors? Isn't this the crime of beheading?"
"The Fifth Army Commander's Mansion..." Peng Shuan trembled.
"It's too late, just go into the palace." Pei Cheng said after wiping his sweat.
Zhu Zhanji and his men immediately entered the palace, and Pei Cheng ordered the entire army to remove their armor, put their weapons into storage, and everyone return to camp.
Four thousand families were patrolling with guards, and they were so frightened that they couldn't hold back their urine if anyone coughed.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji's arm and asked about the cause and effect. His beard trembled with anger.
Zhu Gaochi ran all the way here and was out of breath. The princess hugged Zhu Zhanji and cried.
"Catch Xu Qin, I'm going to skin him." The princess jumped angrily.
"Princess, you are not needed, I will do it myself this time." Zhu Di's face was gloomy.
The Crown Princess was so frightened that she immediately dared not speak out. The matter seemed serious this time and she couldn't help but look at the Crown Prince.
Even though she was shouting to kill, it was just a shout. Seeing that His Majesty was really going to take action, he was a little worried.
"It's none of my cousin's business. Grandpa Huang, I'm going to put on my armor and go into battle to conquer the unsubordinates."
Zhu Zhanji said proudly.
"Good grandson, after two years, grandpa will take you to the grassland to ride horses. Now let the imperial doctor look at your injuries."
Zhu Di said gently.
