As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

After hearing three shots, Hua Manlou stayed for a while before realizing that he was thinking too much.

It's just that... it's probably not a problem, is it?He just went to the Shenji Camp with his daughter, and he was forced to go, so it wouldn't be a three-stage shooting and something would go wrong, right?

Speaking of which, Qi Wanrong looked weird when she returned home, could it be that there is something taboo about this matter?

Hua Manlou, who was in a hurry, glanced at Ying Guogong suspiciously: "Qi Shibo, three-stage shooting or something, this... Can I create it myself or can't I?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Guogong smiled at Uncle Huai'an: "Look at this kid, what kind of nonsense are you talking about! Just a few words and a few words have raised the strength of the Fireball Team to a higher level. Who are you afraid that someone will criticize him? I didn't say you, brother , Didn’t this kid get beaten up by you? How can a man from the Wu Xun family be so unlucky!”

Ying Guogong knew that Uncle Huai'an often beat Huamanlou in the past, and he had persuaded Uncle Huai'an before that he could not beat Huai'an at certain times and had to be guided - just like training a dog, the puppy came home and bit everywhere Things are normal, you have to let him know what can be bitten and what can't be bitten first, right?

I have to say that Ying Guogong is quite advanced in terms of family education, although he has educated a daughter who cannot be married...

Uncle Huai An snorted, then stared at Hua Manlou and said, "Just tell me the truth, how did you come up with the idea of ​​three-stage shooting?"

At this time, Uncle Huai'an had already confirmed that his precious son was the one who had a good face today, so even though he was dismissed by Ying Guogong again, he was really happy in his heart.It's just that he has to show the majesty of a strict father in front of outsiders, so his attitude towards Huamanlou is naturally not as peaceful as when he was instructed the day before.

Seeing this, Hua Manlou quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, this is definitely not what I thought of, I read it from the book, but people use crossbows instead of firecrackers..."

Hua Manlou misunderstood again: he thought Uncle Huai'an's scolding him was a hint that he should not admit it, maybe there was something wrong with it, and he committed some taboo.

"Oh?" Ying Guogong said cheerfully, "Which book did you read?"

"Uh, this... I forgot..." Hua Manlou was a little embarrassed.

"Forgot?" Ying Guogong waved his hand to stop Uncle Huai'an who was going to scold Huamanlou angrily, and continued to say cheerfully: "Then you can always remember the contents of the book, right?"

"Vaguely seems to... don't remember..." Hua Manlou spoke incoherently.

Duke Ying smiled and said: "Then which dynasty's crossbow should you remember? Qin crossbow? Or Qi crossbow? These two dynasties are famous for their crossbows in all dynasties, but I have never heard of them having this kind of shooting method. "

Hua Manlou stopped talking.

That's right, when the history of this world went awry from the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was indeed a big Qi, and today, only the Qin and Qi dynasties are famous for their crossbows.If it was in the ancient times in the previous life, Hua Manlou could still talk about the Song Dynasty, but now he can't talk about it, because he only saw the history of this world...

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ying Guogong smiled and said: "Boy, Shibo taught you to be good. A young man must have the spirit of a young man. With such a little thing, you still want to hide it or what? It's a good thing to show your face, are you afraid that your father will beat you because of this? Don't look at this old guy with a tiger face now, I'm afraid he is happy in his heart!"

Ying Guogong was sure that it was because Huamanlou was scared by Uncle Huai'an, so he made all kinds of excuses, so he pressed every step of the way so that Huamanlou had nothing to say, but Huamanlou felt very stupid: What the fuck Where are you going?You said it was a good thing, right?

Looking resentfully at the cheap old man who still had a dark face, Hua Manlou sighed: "Yes, to tell you the truth, my nephew came up with this matter..."

Duke Ying laughed and said, "Isn't this the end? You bastard, it belongs to candles like your father, so you can't light it, right?"

Uncle Huai'an, whose face was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, finally couldn't help it: "Who are you talking about? Can't you be serious in front of the junior?"

Ying Guogong didn't care about his words, he smiled and said to Hua Manlou: "From what my family Wanrong said, it seems that you are still very dissatisfied with the performance of the Fireball team today? What's the matter, is there another way?"

Hua Manlou immediately felt that this topic was not a good one.

What does it mean to be dissatisfied with the performance of the Fireball team?What did Qi Wanrong say to her father when she got home?

Of course, there are ways to develop firearms in this era. Although he doesn’t understand firearms, he is theoretically better than anyone in this era. At least what he said can save people in this era from many detours , such as rifling, fixed charges, special bullets, etc., can increase the power of guns in this era by several levels in minutes.

But this thing can't be done, how can I be a salted fish happily after doing this?

But just as he was about to categorically deny it, Hua Manlou suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Speaking of which, it would be nice to go to the Shenji camp?

The Shenji Battalion belonged to the three major battalions, and only guarded the capital. Although it was the same as the Xuanwu Guard, it was the emperor's pro-army, but it was not like the Factory Guard, which only targeted officials, so it was notorious.If he could be transferred to Shenji Battalion to preside over the tactics of the Fire Gun Team, wouldn't he be able to leave the Xuanwu Guard directly?

Moreover, the three major battalions haven't fought a war for many years. Many people can survive until they retire after entering the three major battalions. It's safe!

So if you talk about some dry stuff now and ask Ying Guogong to transfer him to the Shenji Camp, wouldn't he be able to stop studying and take the talent test after just messing around with firecrackers?The circle of scholars hated the factory guards, but they didn't really boycott the three camps!

Although people in this era often say that a good man should not be a soldier, but you can't stop the vigorous self-motivation of a soldier, right?Maybe it will be regarded as a typical example of inspirational chicken soup!

The so-called "after ten years of hard work, it is not difficult to become a scholar", and the so-called "everything is inferior, only reading is high", so in order to be a scholar, I worked hard!

So Hua Manlou nodded with great pride and said: "That's right, where are they going? If it's just this level of firecrackers, I'm afraid the effect is not as good as a bunch of archers except for the durability. Why bother to spend money?" Money supports them?"

At this time, not only Ying Guogong, but also Liu Jianian and Huang Zichao who were accompanying Jing Jing in the last seat, and Uncle Huai'an who was pretending to be Yan's father were taken aback for a moment, and then asked in unison, "Do you really have other ideas?"

Hua Manlou smiled proudly: "Yes! For example, before the war, the gunpowder was wrapped in flammable oil paper into small pieces, which is safe and waterproof. During the war, you only need to take it out and stuff it into the gunpowder. Can the reloading time be further reduced to increase the shooting speed? For example, can the gun barrel be polished more smoothly, and can the power of the gun be improved? For example, when charging the powder, use an iron rod to separate the projectile and gunpowder Pressed porcelain is more solid..."

Judging from the background of the times, these are all things that can be solved properly, and the operation is very simple, so Hua Manlou said it without any worries.

But the question is, for people of this era, especially those who know about firecrackers, how shocking are these things?

(I feel like I’m back to the time when I was writing supporting roles. I stayed up a little longer in the middle of the night, and everyone can read a chapter after getting up in the morning)

19. Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move

Can you not be shocked?

You know, it took decades for the matchlock gun to the smoothbore gun in Huamanlou's previous life-there was only a matchlock gun around 1450, but the first use of the smoothbore gun was about 1521, and the custom-loaded paper shell bullet appeared in 1600 years later...

Again, although these things seem simple, if no one thinks of them, they are so simple and useless, so Hua Manlou didn't realize that he pushed forward the progress of firecrackers by at least 150 years...

Several people stared at Huamanlou with wide eyes, unable to speak for a long time.

In fact, although Ying Guogong expected Huamanlou to say something different, he didn't expect too much at all.

The reason is very simple. If Huamanlou’s three-stage shooting idea is learned from Huai’an Bo, then even without the practice of three hundred soldiers, Ying Guogong will raise his expectations for Huamanlou. He is a famous general, and the theory he put forward is naturally combined with his half-life military experience, so it is of course worthy of attention.

That is to say, after it became clear that the three-stage shooting was not original by Huai'an Bo, Ying Guogong's attitude towards Huamanlou's side changed to let's just listen to it, and then let's talk about it after listening to it, because Huamanlou is a dude after all. That's all, even if he puts forward some different opinions, it is also possible that he hit a dead mouse in a flash of inspiration, and it may be more accidental.

But as the saying goes, an expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move. Hua Manlou opens his mouth to see gunpowder wrapped in oil paper. This alone is enough to convince Ying Guogong.

The current firecrackers are front-loading, not only need to be filled with projectiles, but also need to be filled with gunpowder.As a result, the operation is slow and the amount of charge each time is uncertain, resulting in very unstable shooting effects.And gunpowder is really dangerous, and it is easy for a single soldier to blow himself up when operating, which greatly increases the danger of using firecrackers-you know, when firecrackers shoot, they have to hold tinder to ignite.

Open fire in one hand and gunpowder in the other hand, this matter is no different from seeking death in Hua Manlou's view, so when he went to Shenji Camp to command blindly, he didn't even think about trying it himself...

But if the gunpowder is covered with oil paper, this not only solves the problem of the amount of charge, but also greatly speeds up the filling speed, and it is safer. The most important thing is that this method is not difficult, and it does not cost much. Return to camp today Then you can actually operate...

So after listening to the first article, Ying Guogong was already a little crazy: How did this bastard's brain grow?

And the few words that Hua Manlou said afterwards almost hit the point.

It is also necessary to polish the barrel smooth. Although people these days don't understand friction, they understand that if the barrel is uneven, it will not only reduce the shooting distance, but also increase the risk of explosion.

The iron bar is actually equipped, but in Dazhao, the main function of this thing is not the pressed porcelain ammunition as Huamanlou said, but to clean up the gunpowder slag...

When Hua Manlou proposed to develop the flintlock gun—that is, to use hammers and flints to set up small mechanisms instead of tinder to ignite gunpowder, so as to improve the combat capability of the firearms in rainy weather, the minds of the few people present were completely blank.

After talking about this, Hua Manlou was still hesitant to propose the rifling theory, after all, rifling is the soul of modern firearms.

In fact, rifling appeared even earlier than matchlock guns, and it is not difficult to pull rifling from a technical point of view, but the accuracy of this era may be a bit problematic. Even if it is proposed, it will take a lot of experiments before it can be practically applied, so Huamanlou hesitates. After a while, I felt a little more stable before speaking.

But even so, the four people in the hall are now in a situation where they have difficulty breathing.

The two generals of Shenjiying are better, after all, they have already experienced a round of shock in the morning, Ying Guogong is also okay, after all, he doesn't know much about Huamanlou, and Uncle Huai'an is almost fainting now Passed: This... is this still my son?Or am I dreaming now?

Knowing son Mo Ruofu, as an old father who is both a father and a mother, Uncle Huai'an has more worries about Huamanlou than any other patriarch of a noble family in Beijing. Without a concubine, I was afraid that my son would be wronged——the Qi family gave birth to a small white flower, but Hua Manlou was a single seedling in several generations of the Hua family. How could Uncle Huai'an allow Hua Manlou to be wronged?

But Huamanlou was a bad person in his previous life. To some extent, he was close to being unfilial. Over the years, Uncle Huai'an had beaten and scolded him, and he was not educated well. This almost made him lose hope. up.

Holding the last hope, Uncle Huai'an thought about changing the environment of Huamanlou and guiding him—this was purely because he had heard too much of Ying Guogong's family education theory, and after he reflected on it, he found that beating and scolding were really useless. It's better to try another method, that's why Hua Manlou is asked to join the army and get married, hoping that he will change a bit.

result……

Too much change.

In fact, when Huai’an Bo didn’t find Huamanlou at the Hundred Houses on East Street just now, he really thought that this guy had slipped away. If Ying Guogong hadn’t said to go back to the house first, he would have planned to go to the casino to get someone...

He was given such a big stimulus when he came back after only half a day on duty, so how many days?

At this moment, if there were no outsiders watching, Uncle Huai'an would probably hug Huamanlou and cry happily: "My ancestors bless you, my Hua family will not fall!"Even if you let me die here today, I am willing!

Hua Manlou didn't know the psychology of the people present, he shut up and realized something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he couldn't help saying: "What's the matter? I...wrong?"

It's not good to travel to another world. Hua Manlou doesn't know much about the taboos in this world without leaving a complete memory of his predecessor. He is afraid that he will say something wrong and ruin the market...

At this moment, Huang Zichao, the chief executive, was the first to come back to his senses. He stood up abruptly, and tremblingly said in a tone of joy and horror: "This...it's very simple! And it's really effective. !"

"Not bad!" Liu Jianian also recovered from his trance, and couldn't help saying, "If all of these can be done, plus three-stage shooting, Shenjiying... Shenjiying..."

Liu Jianian was so excited that he was speechless.

There is a solution, and now it is almost time to use the Tatar knife, and the military exploits will not escape after a hit!With military achievements, you will have a title, and with a title, you will be able to seal your wife and son, and then...

Liu Jianian rubbed his hands and polished his face flushed on the spot. Seeing him like this, he might have to slap it in a while.

And Ying Guogong has seen the big scene after all, although he was excited, he thought a little more deeply than the previous two: This kid is talking about dry goods, but has the goods in his stomach been cleaned out?This is just like a firecracker, did he make inferences in the other place?

Also, where did he come up with all these things?

20. There are pits on the left and right, which one to jump into?

After seeing the reactions of Huang Zichao and Liu Jianian, Hua Manlou was satisfied.

That's right, anyway, I also took out some dry goods with all my heart and soul, this kind of reaction is normal, isn't it?

Hua Manlou looked expectantly at Ying Guogong, thinking in his heart: I don't even ask the big boss to praise me, as an elder, you should praise me a few words, right?As long as I say a few words of praise, I can logically express my willingness to work for Shenjiying!

LOOK, Ying Guogong has the insight to recommend talents for the country, Huamanlou's prodigal son turns around and serves the country faithfully, what a good script!It's a good story if it gets out, maybe someone will write it into a book and then make it into a film and television drama in the future. By then, it will be a positive character. Isn't this much better than the script of the villain leader of the factory guard?

Cherish life, stay away from factory guards, a bright future is waiting for you!

Hua Manlou was a little bit elated, but when he met Duke Ying's eyes, he only saw a meaningful expression on his face.

What do you mean?

Could it be that he suspects that the young master's soul has passed through?

Hua Manlou was startled, and secretly said something wrong: I was such a lousy person who only knew how to gamble in my previous life, but I performed so well and so high-profile... Isn't it a bit exaggerated?It's all my predecessor's fault, even if you mess around with me, I can cover this lie, but how can the casino do it?

You can't say that you think about life by analogy at the gambling table and then realize the Tao all at once, right?

While Hua Manlou was trying his best to find an excuse, Ying Guogong said: "Very good, what my nephew said is very good."

Hua Manlou was taken aback: Could it be that I'm thinking too much?The actual script is still praised by the elders?

Opened his mouth, Hua Manlou was waiting for a few words of modesty and then followed the script, but Ying Guogong spoke again: "Then my nephew thinks that if you use your reformed firecracker and its fighting methods, you will be able to fight against the Tartars." After the cavalry, is there any chance of winning?"

"Tartar?"

Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment before trying to figure out what a tartar is, because since the end of the Qing Dynasty, this word has not been commonly used, but other similar words have been used quite a lot, such as ghost, stick, Maozi, monkey, etc. This is the consistent tradition of Guochao...

In short, Tartar refers specifically to Tartar, and this year represents Tatar and Wala, and of course Jurchen is also included. Anyway, the common people can't tell the difference between these guys.

"Why did Shi Bo suddenly talk about the Tartars?" Hua Manlou was thrown a little dizzy by Ying Guogong's sharp turn.

Only now did Uncle Huai'an recover, and finally he spoke: "Don't you know that the Tatars are about to go south? This matter has already been spread in Beijing, and only you and other idlers who don't do their jobs all day long don't know that the national crisis is at stake , It's just an asshole!"

These words not only made the corners of Ying Guogong's mouth twitch, but even Huang Zichao and Liu Jianian who were beside him couldn't stand it: In the past, you could still give Huamanlou an unprofessional evaluation, but when the firecracker theory comes out today, who would dare to criticize it? Can you take him for an asshole?

If Huamanlou is still not doing business properly, then what are the worthless sons of Duke Yingguo's family?Is it garbage or social garbage?

So this is not training his son, this is Hong Guoguo's show off!

"Father's lesson is..." Hua Manlou quickly pretended to be well-behaved, but in his heart he was incomparably lying: Young Master still wants to change jobs and go to Shenji Camp. Seeing this situation, they want to send Shenji Camp to the front line?The promised emperor is directly under the three battalions?Is it possible that this time the emperor wants to conscript himself?

No, no matter whether he is personally recruited or not, this Shenji Camp is a must!

Hua Manlou suddenly felt dizzy: Let's stay in Xuanwuwei, at least there is no need to fight, dog's life is important...

Duke Ying glanced at Uncle Huai'an, took a deep breath and said, "It's business, you don't pay attention to your father. In your opinion, can the Shenji Camp be able to fight?"

To be honest, Duke Ying really shouldn't have asked Hua ManLou about this.After all, he is the pillar of the country and the admiral of the Shenji Battalion, how could he not know whether the Shenji Battalion can fight?

But from a practical point of view, the Shenji Battalion has not gone to war for at least seven or eighty years, and Duke Ying has no idea how much combat power it has now.In addition, these things proposed by Huamanlou seem to be very useful, but Ying Guogong can't estimate how useful they are, so what he understands so far is Huamanlou's original, don't ask him who to ask?

Of course, he only asked this question to further strengthen his confidence. After all, after the appearance of the three-stage shooting, he had already made up his mind to ask the Shenji Battalion to support him.And this is also a small test, Ying Guogong wants to see how much Huamanlou still has...

After a pause, Ying Guogong casually added some current affairs and politics to Hua Manlou as the background: "I received news the day before yesterday that the Tatars are very likely to attack Datong from the south, and the current situation in Datong is not good, so the support from the capital is a must." It's a foregone conclusion, but who will support the court is hesitant. If the Shenji Battalion can fight, then many problems will be solved..."

And Huamanlou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: Good guy, I thought the Shenji Camp was confirmed to support, so it hasn't been found yet?So the master's plan hasn't died yet?

But as soon as the idea came to him, he felt a little wrong: If he said he could fight, then whether he wanted to or not, as a fire gun improver, he had to go to Datong to support him; Then the opinion on firecrackers that I just proudly expressed with a proud smile is pure nonsense, and it is a typical self-defeating...

In short, there are pits on the left and right, which one to jump into?And all of them are holes dug for themselves!

In the end, you shouldn't argue with Qi Wanrong in the morning, what a three-stage shoot!

Hua Manlou was on the verge of crying immediately, jumping over the wall in a hurry... Cough, he finally managed to find a solution: "Shibo, although my nephew can improve firearms, but after all, I don't know how powerful the Tartar cavalry is. ,so……"

Duke Ying nodded slowly and said, "Well, that's true, after all, you are still a baby."

Huamanlou and Uncle Huai’an turned dark at the same time—it’s natural for Huamanlou to turn dark. Anyone who is described as a young child will not feel very good, but Uncle Huai’an knows that this is Ying Guogong’s attack on him just now. Bo shows off, this old guy eats everything, but he doesn't suffer, and he doesn't even let people take advantage of this bit of verbal advantage...

But without waiting for Uncle Huai'an to retort, Duke Ying has already stood up: "Forget it, today is a worthwhile trip, as long as it can improve the combat power of the Shenji Battalion. Hua boy, I will leave Huang Zichao with you, God Whether it is the improvement of the machine camp's firearms or tactics, you can tinker with him, and if you need anything, you can tell him."
