The Firearms Bureau was built in the southeast corner of the outer city.
Because gunpowder is flammable and explosive when made, wooden house models cannot be used, and the people of Chang'an Town can only build this arsenal by themselves.
Jiang Erhu led more than fifty people to start working a few days ago. After a lot of hard work, they finally built a wall and a greenhouse. This is the Firearms Bureau of Chang'an Town.
The tall bearded man stared at the huge picture for a long time, and seemed to have some realization in his heart: "I understand, first like this, then like that, then like that, I'm almost confused..."
Jiang Yimu and Chen Tiejiang figured out some tricks: "It doesn't seem too difficult to make this gun. Given some time, we will be able to make it sooner or later."
"Haha...you guys calm down and take your time."
Zhu Renxia patted the tall bearded man on the shoulder, "I believe that under the leadership of Director Gao, you will be able to succeed."
"Actually, making this fire gun is not too difficult, it just takes a lot of effort."
The tall bearded man filled his pipe with tobacco leaves and took a deep puff. "The key is that making gunpowder is a bit laborious."
"Here comes the gunpowder!"
Zhu Changan wrapped the gunpowder he had stripped out from the fireworks and firecrackers in paper and slowly put it into the box.
"You must keep it carefully and strictly prohibit fireworks, otherwise it will cause a big explosion and you will not be able to eat and carry it around!"
A handful of gunpowder in Zhu Changan's eyes was a hill in the eyes of everyone in Chang'an Town. The tall bearded man was so frightened that he hurriedly trampled his pipe to death.
"Oh my God, if such a large amount of gunpowder explodes, it will probably level our Chang'an Town to the ground!"
Jiang Guanjun also frowned: "Tianzun gave so much gunpowder at once, it is too dangerous to store it here."
"Then separate the gunpowder factory and the firearms bureau?"
Zhu Renxia also smelled the danger, "I think the cave in the back mountain is more suitable for making gunpowder. The terrain there is hidden and it is five or six miles away from Chang'an Town. If an accident occurs, it will not affect the town."
Gao Dabeard, the director of the Firearms Bureau, agreed: "It's best this way. Fireguns are made in this yard and gunpowder is made in another place in the back mountain."
As a result, the gunpowder factory built with great pains was abandoned, and Jiang Erhu led his people to build an arsenal in the back mountains five miles away from Chang'an Town.
Before the venue was ready, Gao Dabeard, Jiang Blacksmith and others stayed in the outer city to study the production of fire guns.
Seeing that the people in Chang'an Town were so frightened, Zhu Changan also felt that he had been hasty.
So he reached into the box, took out the gunpowder he had just put in, and waited for Jiang Erhu to transform the cave before sending it in to them.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, three or four days passed in real life, and half a month passed in the box.
In the past few days, Zhu Changan practiced martial arts and observed the box during the day, and had a romantic relationship with Fang Rou at night. He was as carefree as a god.
Chang'an Town in the box is developing in an orderly manner.
When Ding Xiao returned from southern Hunan, he brought thirty people with him. In addition, seventeen households from the vicinity of Wulong Mountain followed.
Zhu Renxia welcomed all who came, warmly received these women who had fallen into the hands of bandits, arranged the best-located houses for their families, and gave them some additional benefits.
"Thank you mayor, thank you Chang'an Tianzun!"
These people looked at the spacious house, touched the fine white rice, looked at the fresh pork and mutton, and smelled the intoxicating wine. They were all grateful and prostrated.
As soon as Ding Xiao and others entered the city, Liu Gongfu led a dozen men into Chang'an Town.
"Mayor, Brother Jiang, Miss Jin, I, Mr. Liu, am back!"
The dusty Liu Gongfu turned over and dismounted, looking like he had lost a lot of weight.
Also a bit out of shape were Cao Wan and Sun Quan, both of whom looked tanned and thin due to the sun.
"We are also back. This trip with Liu Captou to Shandong was an eye-opener."
"Haha...Thank you for your hard work, Coach Liu."
Zhu Renxia smiled and stepped forward to give Liu Gongfu a warm hug, "No, I should call you Camp Commander Liu now."
Liu Gongfu looked at the huge crowd in the school field and the heated training scene, and couldn't help but frown.
"What's going on? I, Old Liu, have only been away for more than a month, and our Chang'an Town has actually recruited so many people? It looks like at least four to five hundred people, right?"
Zhu Renxia introduced: "These are all brothers who came down from Wulong Mountain. They were all convinced by Miss Jin. Now they have changed their evil ways and turned to good deeds."
After a pause, he shook his head and blamed himself: "What I said is biased. Most of them were originally righteous bandits, and they were heroes who followed Mr. Feng to do justice for heaven. It's just that Yang Dali had a bad intention and brought bad luck to the atmosphere. ”
While Zhu Renxia and Liu Gongfu were talking, the old members of the Qi Army who came from Shandong all clasped their fists to see Jiang Guanjun.
"After meeting Mr. Qian, we thought we would never see each other again after we said goodbye to Liaodong."
"Haha... Hello, Mr. Qian, we meet again!"
"Mr. Qian, do you still know me, Zhang Bin? This is so polite!"
Jiang Guanjun was very happy to see his former comrades in arms. He smiled and greeted them one by one, "Xu Le, I haven't seen you in three months. You've grown taller!"
"Dabin, why are you so tanned? Oh...I went back to my hometown to fish in Weishan Lake. The fish in Weishan Lake are good, fresh and tender."
Jiang Guanjun counted the number of people. There were seventeen people in total, but he did not see Hou Jie, whom he was most looking forward to.
"Xu Le, where is Hou Jie? Why didn't you come with you? Doesn't Hou Jie believe what I said?" Jiang Guanjun asked with a frown.
As the name suggests, Hou Jie is as agile and smart as a monkey. He is best at fighting in the mountains and jungles, as well as climbing city walls to attack tough battles. If he can join him, it will be a great supplement to Chang'an Town.
Xu Le's words finally settled Jiang Guanjun's hanging heart.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qian. The person Mr. Hou Qi admires most in his life is you. He said that he will continue to recruit brothers and at least a hundred people will be brought to you."
"This monkey always likes to show off his strength." Jiang Guanjun shook his head and smiled, "Everyone has worked hard along the way. Come here to see the mayor first."
Seventeen heroes clasped their fists at Zhu Renxia and saluted: "I've seen the mayor."
"Heroes, don't be too polite. Welcome to Chang'an Town."
Zhu Renxia returned the salute with clasped fists, admiring the military character of these people from the bottom of his heart.
As expected of a man from the regular army, he speaks with a loud voice and walks like wind. He really perfectly interprets the saying "Stand like a pine tree and walk like the wind".
Zhu Renxia originally planned to let the four of these Qi Jiajun's old troops live in a courtyard temporarily, but Jiang Guanjun refused.
"This is not acceptable. It will make the brothers in Wulongshan feel discriminated against. Now that we have come to Chang'an Town, we should treat everyone equally. No matter what we did before, we should all enjoy the same treatment."
"Since Third Uncle said this, it would be wrong for our brothers!"
Zhu Renxia could only agree with an apologetic face.
After all the soldiers learned about the differences between "General Jiang Qian" and the mayor, they all laughed happily.
"Haha... The mayor has met. When we were in the military camp, one battalion commander slept more than twenty people. Eight people living in one room can be considered a fairy life!"
Jiang Guanjun corrected them: "It's not a room, but a courtyard. There is a two-story wooden building in a courtyard with seven or eight rooms. On average, each person sleeps in one room."
"Then what else is there to say!"
All the soldiers were so excited that they followed Jiang Guanjun into Chang'an Town.
After settling in their accommodation, everyone had a meal, and was organized into the people's strength team. The next day, they followed the large troops to the school field to participate in training.
After this wave of additions, the Minzhuang Regiment in Chang'an Town reached 550 people and was divided into seven companies.
Each company has three platoons, with a total of 72 civilians, plus an eight-person cooking squad, so the total number is eighty.
After this period of investigation, five company commanders have taken office, namely Lu Buping, Zhu Junjian, Ding Xiao, Xu Le, and Chen Daoming.
Among them, Zhu Junjian and Ding Xiao are from Wulongshan, Xu Le is from Qijiajun, and Lu Buping is an old man from Jiangjia Village. Chen Daoming was from Chenjiacun. Because of his extraordinary strength, he was selected by Jiang Guanjun to be the company commander.
