The "yuanzi" mentioned by Feng Ziying is actually a small valley in the west of Beijing.

There was originally a small village in the valley, but later it was favored by several generals. The thirty-five households in the village sold their ancestral property willingly and then moved away from their former residence.

Now there are two or three hundred deer and yellow sheep, dozens of wild boars, three or five black bears, and hundreds of red deer and sika deer, and specialize in offering deer antlers, deer whips and other supplements to the various mansions.

But the playboys rushed to the entrance of the valley and saw a cart covered with felt cloth parked on the side of the road. More than ten people were guarding each other. Then they saw Feng Ziying getting out of the car and walking, but never left his post without leaving his post.

As they were close, the leader only took a few steps and bowed: "Young Master Feng, you have everything ready. Do you think it will be distributed now or..."

"Send it."

Feng Ziying waved her hand and smiled, "Isn't it just for this?"

The leader bowed and responded, turned around and greeted his subordinates. Several powerful men in sheepskin coats immediately stepped forward and uncovered the felt cloth, revealing the bullets and other objects in the car!

Jiao Shun realized that he was a rustic man.

Now it is an era of cannons and muskets, how can these playboys be willing to hunt with broken bows?

Although Jiao Shun knew nothing about marksmanship, his interest in firearms was far greater than that of bows and arrows.

Just as he was about to come forward and try his hand, Xue Pan next to him rushed over with his eyes lit up and shouted, "I have never touched the gun in this capital. I, Lao Xue, have never touched the gun again. This time I have to go through it.

Only after you get addiction!”

"Brother Xue, Brother Xue!"

Feng Ziying hurriedly called him and smiled and said, "What are you anxious about? All the good things are behind."

At this time, several military playboys came forward to pick up the tricks, and then one-third of their followers also came forward to get firearms and ammunition.

After everyone finished picking it up, the men guarding the cart lifted a large wooden box from above and opened it. They found that there were three long spears snuggled with fine silk.

Without looking at it carefully, just looking at the gun body shining under the sun, you will know that it must be a fine product created by a skilled craftsman.

Xue Pan honestly took a shot in his hand without hesitation.

Feng Ziying also took a shot, but handed it to Jiao Shun first.

Although Jiao Shun hurriedly held it in his hand, his eyes looked at the ordinary guns and asked, "These guns look standard, why have they changed their guns?"

The head guard raised his thumbs up when he heard this: "This man is an expert! The original gun belt is really difficult to clean. It's fine for us to use it, but it's not easy to dirty the noble people's clothes."

Jiao Shun couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.

Although Liu Changyou and others were vague, he had already figured it out in private. What is the difference between the current finished product and the regulations of the Taizu period?

Can the standard gun belt you use now be used?

Of course, it can be used, and the appropriate functions can be met, and the degree of strength is not much worse than the regulations required by Taizu.

But apart from basic functions, it can only be said to be a mess.

It is easy to pill, easily knotted, easily contaminated, and difficult to clean. It is goose yellow when it is released. It will be shiny and black in less than a year or two, and it will not be washed clean even if it is rubbed with pancreas.

Not to mention that the Ordnance Department was dissatisfied, even Jiao Shun frowned when he heard this.

But the problem is...

This thing was made by handymen. Now facing the aggressiveness of the Ordnance Department, he can only choose to protect and shelter him.

After all, the butt determines the brain.

Feng Ziying saw Jiao Shun frowning and seemed to have something to do, but because everyone was in high spirits and was not the time to ask in detail, she remembered it in her heart and smiled and shouted everyone to go to the valley to hunt.

Although one-third of the people in the team were carrying guns, the only ones who could shoot at will were the leaders.

The guns that the followers carried were, one to set off the atmosphere, and the other to exchange them with the owner at any time, so as not to load ammunition.

Others only want to shoot happily, but they hand over the loading to their followers.

Although Jiao Shun also had two Feng family members to serve, he was curious about the specific structure of the gun and specially asked for two bullets, dismantling and installing them for a while and playing with them carefully.

The bullets at this time were different from those seen in later generations, but they were not the kind of ancient small shot put. The specific shape was about between the cone and the semicircle, and the whole body was chubby, with several spiral lines on the middle and lower sides on the side.

There was also a wooden bolt on the tail - by the way, this wooden bolt was also produced by handymen.

Something bright could be seen in the middle of the wooden plug, probably the corresponding bottom fire device.

He was looking at it carefully, and then he heard a few gunshots not far away. He heard Xue Pan shouting and asking him to chase him. The army rushed forward happily, except for two or three who didn't like this.

Or those who are very thoughtful, all the rest of the world followed Xue Da’s head and ran away.

Seeing everyone scattered, Feng Ziying took the opportunity to come to Jiao Shun and smiled and said, "Brother is an official in the Ministry of Works, have you never touched the musket?"

"I've just been there for more than a month."

Jiao Shun smiled bitterly and said, "Aside from the control of the Ordnance Department, I'm afraid it's much stricter than outside."

He paused, pointed at the gun and said, "This standard gun is produced by our handymen, but he was criticized as Goubuli just now."

Feng Ziying laughed and asked for an ordinary standard musket. She fiddled with it for a few times, then asked Jiao Shun: "How much do you know about the muskets you are currently equipped with?"

"That's just some data on paper."

Jiao Shunzhi shook his head: "It's the first time I've touched the real thing today."

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "This dynasty has strictly controlled firearms, and the capital is the most important thing. The yamen and city patrol departments that supervise the streets are still using swords, guns and sticks. It is naturally not that easy for ordinary people to touch them.

”

As he said that, he held the gun in his hand up: "Everyone calls this thing musket and a long gun, but in fact his official name is "Dragon Bird", which means the Great Xia Dragon Bird - the gun body is three feet long

Six inches [1.2 meters], able to hold a bayonet that is one foot or two inches long [0.4 meters], has rarely improved since the Taizu Dynasty established itself. It is beneficial to rapid-fire and close-range, but its range is not as good as that of Western Yi guns."

This is easy to understand. The most difficult thing to solve for breech guns is hermeticity. In the early days, due to insufficient industrial level, the range and power of the front-loading gun was not as good as the development of the pre-loading gun for hundreds of years.

Jiao Shun couldn't help but feel moved when he thought of this.

The handyman's office is not as good as the ordnance department. It may have more advantages in terms of improving the sealing properties and specializing in glue, lacquer, mounting and pasting.

Solving the problem of sealing is not only able to increase the range and power, but also to develop magazines, allowing the firearm to officially enter the era of rapid firing in a continuous shooting era.

Just as I was thinking about some things, I heard Feng Ziying ask: "Brother Jiao was successful and famous in the capital, but how did he sigh and feel depressed? Did he encounter some difficulties? If there are any difficulties, I might as well talk about them first.

Let’s see if my brother helps or not.”

"It really made Brother Feng understand."

Jiao Shun quickly calmed down, held the gun and bowed, and said, "I have encountered difficulties, but I don't know how to speak for a while."

Feng Ziying is the most loyal person, not to mention that Jiao Shun had helped him save face before, so when he heard this, he threw the gun to his follower, patted his chest and said, "What's wrong with this? Anyway, I

There is no reason to refuse if you can do it!"

"Then I will ask for help."

Jiao Shun said solemnly: "I want to ask Brother Feng to introduce him and have a visit to General Shenwu in person."

"Um?"

When Feng Ziying heard this, her face changed color. She looked at Jiao Shun and hesitated: "Brother Jiao wants to see his father? But I don't know why?"

"That's it..."

Jiao Shun looked around, Feng Ziying immediately waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat more than ten steps away.

Only then did Jiao Shun talk about his plan in detail.

He also said: "No matter whether things are successful or not, I will accept the affection of the Lord's Mansion!"

Feng Ziying thought about it and smiled and said, "This matter is beneficial to my father but not harmful. It is really my father and son who inherited the love of brothers Jiao. Since that's the case, when we return to the city, I will take Jiao.

Brothers meet my father!”

After two steps, Jiao Shun immediately calmed down.

So he also got involved in the playboys and became addicted to ejaculation.

It was so turbulent that it was not until afternoon that everyone carried a few yellow sheep, deer, and a half-large wild boar. They excitedly arrived in Linxi and built a villa. Their followers peeled and cut their flesh and sprinkled them again.

Various spices are inserted on the upper rocker to bake.

In this area, it is not a personal property, so it is difficult to prepare a dancer and singer - otherwise, who can use it and who cannot use it will easily cause jealousy.

But the men who were guarding the car beat drums and stepped on the formation, fighting with swords and shields, also had a unique sense of majesty.

Lian Jiao Shun, who had seen him, also applauded and applauded.

There was also a playboy who was making fun of him, directing about twenty muskets to shoot in the air, and it seemed like a crackling sound, which was quite like a black African uncle in later generations.

During the meal, everyone was full of intestines and fat belly. It was a time of joy. Xue Da’s head became a monster again, and he insisted that he would go hunting a black bear in the afternoon. If he couldn’t find him, he would stay here.

It's right.

Jiao Shun was still thinking about meeting General Shenwu Feng Tang, how could he stay with this fool in the valley and make trouble?

Just as I was about to find a reason to fool him, someone suddenly came from outside and reported that a noble man passed by outside the valley. When he saw smoke from cooking in the valley, he sent someone to ask about the ready-made wild game for sale.

Feng Ziying was seventy-sixth of annoyance when she heard this and cursed: "What kind of noble people are not noble people! Our brothers are here to have fun, so we must not be the hunter envoys for him - just send someone to drive them out!"

"this……"

The village head who reported the report stammered: "I think that noble man seems to be from Rongguo Mansion, but the prince's mansion and the prince's mansion are family friends."

"From Rongguo Mansion?"

Feng Ziying immediately stood up, looked at Xue Pan hesitantly, turned to look at Jiao Shun, and said, "I don't know which elder is traveling. We brothers are just afraid that we will show off to look polite.

”

As he said that, he ordered people to prepare clean and tidy food, put it in a box and put it on the carriage.

Xue Pan heard that he was an elder of Rongguo Mansion, and immediately felt bitter. He threw a heavy-grown fried deer back on the plate and muttered, "Just don't be my uncle, I will scold me every time I see you.

A few words.”

Jiao Shun also stood up from the table and smiled and said, "If it is really Master Zheng, I will just block you - Baoyu was scolded a few days ago, isn't it the place I saved?"

Xue Pan then followed the end.

The three of them got on a horse at the door of the villa. Jiao Shun learned to ride a horse when he was doing a small manager. He surrounded the carriage containing food boxes and rushed to the entrance of the valley.

I saw seven or eight large carts standing by the roadside, and a large dome tent was set up in the middle. Seeing that the tent was full of women, I knew that the so-called noble man should be a woman.

The three of them were about to come forward to ask what happened, but one of them had already come over quickly and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Feng, Mr. Chou and Mr. Jiao are here. This is a coincidence!"

This is Jiao Shun's "acquaintance".

But it was Yang's husband Qin Xian. Because his brother Qin Yi was sent to the south, he now defeated Qin Yi and went to Jia She to be a personal manager.

Seeing that it was him coming out for a social event, Jiao Shun immediately realized that this was probably not a coincidence, but the "noble man" deliberately found it!

So he asked first: "Isn't the eldest wife in the mansion in that tent?"

"It's the eldest wife."

Qin Xian smiled and explained: "Because my family has been a little uneasy recently, my wife made a special trip to Qixia Temple in Yanling to enjoy the incense - the vegetarian food in the temple was not very delicious. When my wife returned, she felt that it was difficult to walk on an empty stomach. She saw this place again

After the smoke from the cooking stove, I wanted to buy some ready-made wild animals to satisfy my hunger. I didn’t want to run into the three masters here. Are you saying this a coincidence?!"

Hoho~

A coincidence!

Jiao Shun sneered in his heart, knowing that Mrs. Xing must have had some intentions, so he secretly raised his vigilance.

As expected, Qin Xian sent someone to report to the tent, and soon he saw Qiutong coming to pass the message, saying that his wife was exhausted and was really inspiring, so she simply did not invite several masters to come in and talk, and only let the knot be alone.

The old man sent some wild game over there.

Xue Pan was so happy that he didn't meet his elders.

Because Feng Ziying knew Jiao Shun's origin, she didn't think that there was anything wrong with Xing's choice of Jiao Shun.

Therefore, Jiao picked up the food box himself and followed Qiutong to the dome tent.

But it was said that inside the dome tent.

Si Qi held the scissors tightly and guarded the door, but his heart was in chaos.

Before, Xing's family had a quick walk in Qixia Temple, and rushed back like a shocking wind. They set up camp in front of the valley halfway, and Siqi became more and more convinced that Xing's family would sell their stepdaughter to Mr. Feng.

Who would have thought that although Xing had hired someone alone, it was not Feng Ziying she imagined, but Jiao Shun, who had a long affair with her!

this……

How can this be ruthless?

Then I thought again that if the girl could really promise Jiao Shun, wouldn’t she be able to marry with her...

As a result, the hands became less and less force.

"elder sister."

Seeing that Siqi looked wrong, Xiuju gently sighed her and asked eagerly: "Are we going out to stop Jiao Shun, or..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Si Qi gritting his teeth and picking the curtains and going outside.

Xiu Ju also rolled up her arms and sleeves and followed her out. When she saw Jiao Shun walking over with a food box, she was about to put her hips on and stopped him from coming forward, but suddenly Si Qi pulled him to the side and gave up her to the door.

aisle.

Xiu Ju was stunned at first, but just thought it was Si Qi who had other plans, so she hurriedly asked, "Sister is going to let him in first, and then..."

"Nothing happens!"
