After parting with Liu Lang, Xu Changqing came to the Nanmen area of ​​Ningyuan, walked around several alleys, and came to an inconspicuous dilapidated house.

The house looks dilapidated outside, with little popularity, and a lot of weeds grew, but once you enter, you will find that the space inside is very large and there is another world.

At this time, several large firewood-like objects were piled up in a corner of the yard, all wrapped in steadily with tart cloth.

In the middle of the yard, a simple but very precise "workshop" is built with cloth and wood!

Inside, several old craftsmen were taking more than a dozen apprentices with quick hands and feet, carefully crafting something, but Xu Changqing came over and they didn't notice it.

After Xu Changqing coughed gently, everyone realized that they hurriedly fell to the ground, "General, you are here."

There were two people in the lead, one was a white-haired old man in his fifties, named Zhang Jiu, an expert in gunpowder, and the other was younger, about thirty or forty, and was not tall but very strong. He was an experienced carpenter named Li Zhu.

They have been in Ningyuan City for more than ten days, which is the most critical part of Xu Changqing's layout!

"Haha, they are all their own brothers, so there is no need to be polite. Master Jiu and Lao Li, what's the situation?" Xu Changqing looked at the two of them with a smile.

Mr. Zhang Jiu hurriedly said respectfully: "General, we have allocated more than a thousand kilograms of gunpowder these days, but there is no place to experiment, and the effect is still impossible to accurately determine..."

As he said that, he was a little ashamed and lowered his head.

After all, Xu Changqing gave them such high treatment and each of them paid five taels of silver for settlement, but they did not achieve any good results at this time.

Xu Changqing smiled: "It's okay. The main thing is to provide this idea first. We will be able to leave the city later today. When we return to Shark Island, you have the opportunity to experiment!"

Seeing that Xu Changqing's expression was not like a fake, Mr. Zhang was a little relieved and relaxed a little.

Xu Changqing looked at Li Zhu again.

Li Zhu was much more energetic than Mr. Zhang Jiu, and said respectfully: "General, the carpenter is much smoother. During these days, we have received more than 50 good beef tendons through Li Changyou and Mr. Li. They have been marinated by me with the secret method for five or six days. As long as there is another one or two drying time, we can directly make a trencher at any time!"

Xu Changqing was also excited and nodded with a smile: "Very good! The battle is imminent, and the man is working hard. I won't say much more about the extra words. When you return to the island, you must work hard as soon as possible and strive to complete the task earlier. At that time, I will not be stingy with the reward!"

"General Thank you!"

…

After chatting with these craftsmen in this house for almost an hour, they were relieved and their blood was boiling. Xu Changqing left.

They have started to pack up their things and pack up all the remains, and will soon leave the city first.

At this time, I had to wait for news from Liu Lang. Xu Changqing was actually a little worried and even nervous. He did not go to the city, but found a tavern at the south gate, ordered some braised pork, a plate of peanuts, and slowly drank the wine and waited patiently.

The old saying goes: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!"

However, even if you have plans, plans, plans, and capital, you cannot get it done immediately, and there are many other factors.

This is called reality!

But Xu Changqing is definitely not a person who waits for death. Even if he has to take a big risk, Xu Changqing started planning early.

The fierceness and ferociousness of the Eight Banners of Manchuria soldiers is no longer needed to be described.

To put it bluntly, Xu Changqing, a small chicken who has been in the army for only a few months, can't be the opponent of those Manchu soldiers who have experienced a long battle formation!

But this battle has to be fought!

Even if there is a glimmer of opportunity, you must win!

This requires careful planning and thinking.

Xu Changqing, who has five hundred years of experience leading the world and already knows this era, certainly understands very well that if he wants to confront the Qing soldiers head-on, the Ming army must have leading powerful firearms, powerful cannons, and powerful fire guns!

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

However, reality cannot give Xu Changqing so much time and resources!

Xu Changqing can only find other ideas!

Among them, the simplest, the lowest cost, the most feasible, and the easy to use is undoubtedly the most proficient "grenade bullet" used by our military back then!

Even in the era when Xu Changqing was reborn, grenades and bullets were still important equipment and training subjects for our infantry!

Xu Changqing must not be as advanced as our army in later generations at this time, nor the support of those tried and tested technology trees, but Xu Changqing also has his advantages!

That is ------------Bamboo!

Use bamboo tubes to make simple but enhanced version of the flowering bullet!

It can be used for shooting, or it can be used to project and expand the range!

At this time, on Shark Island, Xu Changqing had already ordered Yang Hong to make tens of thousands of solid bamboo tubes dry.

The bamboos on the Green Snake Forest, including Shark Island, and many bamboos in the surrounding areas were almost cut off by Xu Changqing's men.

After that, Xu Changqing was already ready for a long time when the elite and strong woman who was responsible for assembling these flowering bullets!

In addition, Xu Changqing also prepared a large amount of fresh bamboo, which can build at least fifty simple and enhanced versions of catapults.

Xu Changqing stocked up a large number of other items, including rain-proof and moisture-proof oil cloth, oil paper, flint, fire folds and many other materials for making fuzes at a high price!

You can go immediately at any time!

However, although the idea is good, the specific implementation must be tested through experiments!

There is no big problem with catapults. Li Zhu is an old carpenter. Even if it is just made into a simple large slingshot shape, as long as it is good!

But bamboo tube flowering bullets must be tested carefully.

The main reason is that Xu Changqing is not proficient in gunpowder and does not know how to match it. Moreover, gunpowder at this time is incomparable to later generations.

However, Xu Changqing had certain standards in his heart.

It is not required that these bamboo-type flowering bullets can produce much lethality, but their power must be strong and it must cause chaos in the Qing army!

Of course, under this premise, it would be great if it can improve its lethality!

But if the weapons are made, you have to train manpower~.

Therefore, for Xu Changqing now, time is definitely tight and the task is heavy!

…

Time soon came to the evening, and news came from Liu Lang, and things were done!

However, those ten thousand enemies were thrown away this morning and were soaked in water. They were afraid that they would be ignited after storage for a long time and burned the treasury. The effect may not be so easy...

“I#￥%!”

When Xu Changqing heard this, he really had the urge to kill!

The effect of the combustion bomb on modern battlefields is beyond doubt, let alone the late Ming Dynasty at this time?

This is the best weapon to open the battlefield and divide the battlefield!

As long as it is used properly and a firewall can be established in a short period of time, even the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty will never rush over.

But at this time, these bastards, who are not enough to succeed, actually lost such a treasure?

Why did he get the water?

If Xu Changqing was the leader of the Ming army at this time, he would definitely cut these bastards alive and peel them up!

But the matter had happened and the anger could not solve the problem. Xu Changqing immediately asked Liu Lang to send someone to send him here and wait until he returned to the Qingshe Forest and let the craftsmen see if he could use it.

If it cannot be used, Xu Changqing also needs to dismantle them and build them separately. He must have some powerful weapons that can block the battlefield!

…

Soon, before the city gate was closed, Liu Lang arrived with these "ten thousand enemies".

Seeing that Xu Changqing's face was not very good, this guy didn't dare to seek credit from Xu Changqing anymore, and he was a little disappointed.

Xu Changqing also came back to his senses and immediately gave Liu Lang more than 100 taels of silver, encouraged him and calmed his emotions. This was to go out of the city.

Back to the Green Snake Forest, it was completely dark

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Pure.

Li Zhu and Niu Jin have been sent to Shark Island by warships and will rush to make catapults overnight, including those who draw maps that do not collect at night. They will speed up the map drawing work that collects a lot of information.

Xu Changqing's side also quickly made people start to clean up gunpowder and enemies.

Soon, after several experiments, Xu Changqing was speechless. The effect of thousands of enemies soaked in water was quite good. Not to mention that the fire was too big, it was definitely a small fire with combustion power.

Six or seven out of ten are very useful.

If you choose the right timing and environment, there is definitely a lot to do!

The main reason is that the inside is very sealed and it is wrapped in several layers of oiled paper, just to prevent water and moisture. After all, it is produced in Beijing.

Of course, the main reason is that the time for soaking in water is still short, so if you soak it for another day, it is hard to say.

But the power of gunpowder is hard to satisfy!

Even the best batches carefully selected by Zhang Jiuye and the others.

Even if Xu Changqing doesn’t understand, he still understands it. There are too many impurities in it, and all the raw materials must have cut corners and even faked them!

Xu Changqing really wants to kill this kind of fraud of the military and national heavy weapons, and he definitely does not want to kill one!

If these gunpowder cannot be used, then his Xu Changqing's plan will collapse all over...
To be continued...
