'Pa~~pa~~' Xu Da and others also made a popping sound, but they were not setting off grass whips.
Xiaqiu Village lent them two guns to practice, or helped them see where they needed improvement.
Eight generals were assigned two guns, and the other generals could only watch helplessly without a chance to use them.
Tang He and Zhang Cundao came yesterday. They had five thousand troops. After they captured Yang He, they kept guard.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin ran to Helin. They began to prepare food, grass and supplies around them. They took a long detour and did not go to the desert, and successfully arrived years ago.
There are more people and more baggage. The soldiers are all in high spirits and have won the battle. They come to celebrate the New Year with their brothers.
Eight people, Han Zheng, Fu Youde, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Xu Da, Lan Yu, Tang He, and Zhang Cundao, gathered together. Among them, Zhang Cundao was considered alive. Historically, he died at Duolingshan.
Two guns, after some debate, each fired three shots, taking turns.
"After I heard that Xiaqiu Village occupied a palace, that place belongs to Xiaqiu Village and it will not change in the future?"
Tang He fired three shots and talked to Xu Da next to him while he was resting.
"Isn't it suitable for etiquette?" Xu Da asked.
"Here, with this gun, who dares to say no? Aren't you afraid of being assassinated with this gun? Damn it, how can it shoot so far? The key is accurate."
Tang He said that I support the benefits that Xiaqiu Village is getting now. It should be exchanged for things.
"It's the rifling. Look inside the barrel and you'll see that it loads quickly. From what the villagers in Xiaqiu say, this gun is still not the best. I'm talking about our General Lan! You've been aiming for a long time. What are you aiming at?"
Xu Da said that he found Lan Yu holding a gun, aiming and aiming but not shooting. Everyone was waiting.
"We were going to shoot ten rings. The wind was strong. We looked at the wind speed and direction. We found that the distances were different depending on the rear sight and front sight."
Lan Yu was not in a hurry, he was recalling the situation when he fired before and when others fired.
When aiming a gun is basically useless, just control the approximate height. Now that he has a gun with high accuracy, he has to pursue accuracy.
"That's right, it's different. The same goes for archery. What's the use of just aiming? You have to shoot more and become more proficient." Xu Da tried his best to make the other party finish three shots.
"You have to worry about how many they borrow, one for each of us." Lan Yu finally took a shot and shook her head, dissatisfied.
"They are used to protect the prince and the king of Qin. The ones I borrow now are spares. When you return to Yingtian Mansion next year, there will be more for you to use." Xu Da continued to encourage Lan Yu to shoot quickly.
"The era of fire guns is over! It won't be long before flintlock guns will be eliminated. Beiyuan is still using fire guns!
I don’t know if they can still make fire blunderbuss if they go further north, or if gunpowder is easy to find.
Can the current Xiaqiu Village team make our bullets? If you fight too much, the quantity is not enough. When you really need it..."
Lan Yu was worried about the ammunition, so she hesitated to shoot.
…
When Lan Yu was worried, Xiaqiu Village was looking for craftsmen to help make guns and ammunition. The troublesome and unskilled ones were left to the craftsmen, and the other Xiaqiu Village did it themselves.
"What a fool! It's nice to see so many talented craftsmen. The parts are spread out and they build it so fast."
The chief looked at the progress and was very satisfied. He felt that it was a waste for the craftsmen to rest while others were resting.
It is usually difficult to find so many craftsmen. Now that the new gun has been taken out and handed over to the prince, the King of Qin, and the soldiers, it will not be kept secret.
"Okay, hurry up, um! Hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian smiled naively.
He was thinking about how he could turn all five thousand craftsmen into his own factory and build a factory. These five thousand craftsmen would be enough.
There are people who do everything, which refers to the professional and proficient ones. In addition to being proficient in other aspects, they are also better than ordinary craftsmen in other tasks.
Like the blacksmith there, ask him to help build a set of wooden furniture, and he will do it for you without saying a word, even better than many professional carpenters.
Those in the team who are proficient in carpentry can actually make pottery blanks skillfully. If the carpenter has no way out, he can burn ceramics.
The key point is that these craftsmen understand the truth. It is said that they make guns, the best guns in the world, to equip the Ming army, and the parts are separated.
They immediately stopped talking to each other about the gun, and only focused on the part they were responsible for. They didn't look at others, let alone inquire about them.
Guns couldn't be made a year ago, and the barrels were difficult to shoot, but when they were made, they would be made in large quantities at a time.
Other soldiers are learning literacy and arithmetic.
The same goes for the herdsmen. They have free time and just clean up the livestock's excrement, feed them grass and water, and eat a big pot of rice with the army.
They save time and study hard. For example, Xiao Doudou’s father regrets most that he didn’t learn the Ming Dynasty well.
They know that after the spring begins, everyone will leave and there will not be much time to study. They must hurry up and learn more words during this period and become proficient in the Ming Dynasty dialect.
…
It is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there is still no thirty day this year.
In the morning, the herdsmen put on new clothes, tidied themselves up as neatly as possible, and made everyone smile.
The person in charge of delivering food delivered a whole fish feast from tent to tent, including eight dishes, a soup, and steamed buns that were still soft. If you can't finish it, you can freeze it or put it on the edge of the tent where it will get cold.
On Zhu Biao's side, another large group of generals entered the palace, and additional heating pipes were installed in the square outside to increase the regional temperature.
They had other dishes, such as horses, cattle, and sheep, which were not given to ordinary sergeants. Most of the slaughtered meat was frozen and reserved for Zhu Biao, Zhu Cang, and the people of Xiaqiu Village to eat slowly.
The whole team has no objection, they have enough fish to eat!
A singing and dancing team came to perform, and some of the maids serving food had traces of stolen food on their mouths.
The two brothers Zhu Biao pretended not to see it, and the palace maid did not dare to eat it secretly. They had discovered before that it was a girl from Xiaqiu Village who entered the kitchen and stuffed it into the palace maid's mouth when she was serving the dishes.
So it just passed without anyone pursuing it. As a result, the palace maids were happy when working and their efficiency was greatly improved.
"Chief, I heard that when you went to Xiaqiu Village to worship ancestors, you cried and said that you were incompetent and failed to take care of Xiaqiu Village. Is this true?"
Zhu Biao thought of something and asked the director with a smile.
"False, Your Highness, the life in Xiaqiu Village is so good now, how is it possible? What is said in these words is untrue, it is a rumor, it is definitely a rumor.
We must not make rumors, believe rumors, or spread rumors. Helin is not a place outside the law to smear others wantonly. Xiaqiu Village maintains the right to pursue its legal responsibility. "
After hearing this, the director immediately shook his head. It's not true, it's really not true, because not only did we cry, we also twitched! I kept wiping my tears!
How can just crying show how much we care about the village? How to let the ancestors know that Xiaqiu Village has achieved a hard-won success today?
