Li Shi was so angry that he raised his eyes and said, "Is it because you want to be angry with your brother on purpose?"

Li Xuan couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing Li Shi's face getting more and more ugly, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Nothing! Fourth brother, younger brother is here today, just to explain the rumors outside to you. Those balls are not safe. Kindness!"

Li Shi scolded with a smile: "After all, you should be closer to Jia Qiang, you have forgotten who is your real brother."

Seeing that Li Xuan was eager to explain, Li Shi waved his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, let's joke with you. I called you here today because I wanted to talk about it. Some people think that Jia Qiang's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water." , The reputation is already bad enough, it is useless to scold him, but he is thinking of causing trouble, pouring dirty water on me, provoking me and Jia Qiang to fight, borrowing a knife to kill someone and borrowing it from the Lord, I really want to be blind Don't worry about it. Now those who are courtiers are more and more ignorant of the rules, and their dignity is messed up."

Seeing that Li Xuan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he looked at him suspiciously, Li Shi said, "Talk to Jia Qiang about this matter, this king will not blame him for external affairs, and he doesn't have to worry about it. Now there are people secretly stirring up evil spirits." Huo, let him take care of himself. Some unhappiness in the past are trivial things, and this king doesn't take it to heart, let's see the future."

Li Xuan heard this, observed Li Shi carefully, and said pleasantly, "Fourth brother, is what you said true?"

Li Shi smiled and said: "How can there be a fake? Brother, I can also see that Jia Qiang is a half-hearted person who never considers the consequences of doing things. Although he is very reckless, he is also pure. Besides, didn't he always want to go to sea?" ?”

Li Xuan said with a smile: "It's true, he has already built half of the sea boat. This kid is a filial man, and I have prepared one for my younger brother. He will go out to sea first, and when the road is leveled, my younger brother will also go to sea." I can go out for a stroll and see the scenery outside!"

Seeing his happy smile, Li Shi frowned and said, "Fifth brother, what are you talking about? What is your status, how can you think so much? Ordinary people's children know that their parents are not far away. Where do you want to go? If you let your father The queen mother knows that you have such thoughts, do you want your skin?"

Li Xuan said with a mysterious smile: "Fourth brother, you don't know, Jia Qiang and I talked about this before my father and mother, and my father didn't scold us, and even acquiesced! So it's still fourth brother who is wise and knows how to deal with Jia Qiang. That idiot Qiang is making trouble for no reason. Pay attention to what he is doing? The fourth brother has a bright future, Jia Qiang is going to leave sooner or later, it is really not worth getting angry with him!"

Li Shi's complexion suddenly changed when he heard this, and he stared blankly at the smug Li Xuan, his heart tumbling.

Father acquiesced to Xiao Wu's going to sea?

how is this possible……

For a moment, Li Shi was in a state of confusion.

……

Xuanfu, Firearms Camp.

"Go forward with a fork in hand!

The arquebus rests on the left shoulder, the gun is held in the left hand, the matchlock is held between the fingers of the left hand, and the fork is held in the right hand.

Forks go by the guns!

The cross rests in the left hand, leaving the right hand free.

Put down the fork, gun down the shoulder!

The left hand lowers the fork, and the right hand removes the arquebus from the left shoulder.

The right hand holds the gun, and the left hand hangs down!

......"

"Blow the match!

Blow lightly on the match to create a spark.

Load the matchlock!

Install the matchlock on the snake rod clip.

Try the matchlock!

Adjust the length of the match to ensure that the match can just hit the medicine pot.

Blow the matchlock and open the lid of the medicine pot!

Raise your gun and aim!

The fork rests slightly forward, balance the arquebus on the fork, and step forward with the left foot.

shooting! "

An old firearms soldier explained clearly every method of firearms operation, but this series of behaviors stunned Huawen, Hua'an, Dong Chuan, and Xuanfu generals and guerrillas.

How can it be so cumbersome?

Zhao Polu smiled and said: "This is not over yet, let's shoot, there are many steps such as taking the matchlock, clearing the medicine pot, charging the medicine lead, shaking the medicine pot, blowing the medicine pot, etc. If you make a wrong step, you will be punished!"

General Zhao Si of Xuanzhen smiled and said: "God, most of the soldiers in the army can't even tell the left from the right. If they practice like this, they will die."

Zhao Polu waved his hand and said: "Actually, it is far easier to practice than archers. Archers need to be talented if they want to practice well, and hard work after a few years is of no use at all. But firearms soldiers, as long as they are careful, they can be trained in less than three months." It can be practiced. Of course, it is another way to say how to shoot accurately. But in general, it is easier to practice than archers."

Jia Qiang said lightly: "This kind of firearm has been eliminated in the West. Two or 30 years ago, there appeared in the West a self-propelled firearm that does not require a match, called a flintlock. Flint is used to ignite sub-powder and launch lead bullets. It can be used even in rainy and snowy weather, and the rate of fire is greatly improved. It is precisely this kind of firearm that Xiyang Fangui can conquer a small country with hundreds of people. In the end, firearms will definitely replace knives, guns and bows."

The veterans could hardly accept this kind of argument, nor could they imagine what kind of flintlock Jia Qiang described.

However, due to Jia Qiang's identity and domineering ruthlessness, no one said anything to refute.

Especially General Xuanzhen, after hearing that there are so many steps in the operation of firearms, his interest was greatly reduced in an instant.

Not to mention that they can't get firearms, even if they do, they won't be able to train firearms soldiers who can perform such cumbersome steps.

The flintlock that Jia Qiang mentioned sounds good, but she doesn't know when she will see her again, so the trip to the firearms camp ended hastily.

One by one, they went up to the city wall to prevent night battles and disappeared.

After leaving the firearms camp, Jia Qiang laughed with Hua An and Dong Chuan, "It's hard for them. It's really not easy for people at this age to learn new things."

Hua An scratched his head, and said: "Don't talk about them, even after I heard that, I felt that it was a bit troublesome. It's not as good as a bow and arrow, and it's much easier to use a crossbow. It's enough for the imperial court to train three battalions. No matter how much, it’s not easy.”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Let's see it later."

Dong Chuan said in a deep voice: "If the steps can be improved, simplified and used in rainy and snowy weather, then bows, arrows, knives and guns can indeed be replaced in the future."

Jia Qiang said: "If you don't fight some real swords and guns with Western fan ghosts, the imperial court will never easily change the armaments. I'm just saying a few words in advance... I won't say much, let's fight the battle in front of me first." Besides, these tartars are crazy, they are really sieging the city without regard to life and death. There are so many old people, it seems crazy..."

Thinking of those Mongolian old men rushing up the city with hideous faces, not caring about life and death at all, Jia Qiang felt a little trembling in her heart.

Dong Chuan lived in the Xuan Mansion for more than ten years and knew a lot about it. He said, "This is also a way to reduce the population on the grassland. In the year of the catastrophe, it is necessary to ensure that young women and children who can bear children can survive. The elderly, and women who cannot bear children, will seek their own demise to ensure the continuation of the race. Last year, there was a severe drought on the grassland, and countless cattle and sheep died of starvation, and then encountered a rare white disaster in a century. There is no way out, always We must live on. The more the old man dies, even if the town is not captured, the burden can be reduced."

Hua An gasped, and cursed: "It really is a group of beasts that are not as good as beasts! How could you let the old man die first?"

Dong Chuan shook his head and said nothing. Those old people were all voluntary.

Life on the grasslands is indeed bitter and difficult.

But these words are no longer suitable for him to say now...

Dong family, alas.

Even if Jia Qiang didn't make trouble, most people in Xuan Town still blame Dong's family for the crime of stealing the arsenal and selling the town.

Many generals who called him uncle when he was young, used to serve him like a young master, but now they treat him more than just indifferently...
