Li Banghua, Chonghua, and Guo Wei had previously discussed this peace negotiation.
Everyone believes that victory is inevitable, but the process must be tortuous.
Unexpectedly, the court gave up so quickly.
However, this result is obviously the most promising harvest for Shandong.
Regarding the negotiation, Li Banghua and others were both uneasy and curious at the beginning.
After all, it was their first time to do something like this, so they were inevitably a little unsure. If it weren't for the strong strength of the new army as a backing, Zuo Mengeng would have to take action himself.
But after experiencing it once, even though it lasted just over an hour, everyone still felt tired unlike before.
It turns out that a confrontation in a diplomatic negotiation setting is no worse than a real battlefield.
Among the few people, those who have learned the most are definitely Chonghua and Guo Wei.
One is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and has accumulated experience, and knows how to operate future diplomatic negotiations; the other is from the military, and understands how to use force to suppress others on the battlefield in the future.
"Well, since you have no objections, I can draft a peace agreement."
Zhang Fengyi no longer wants the peace talks to continue.
The completely unfamiliar method made him very uncomfortable and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
End it early and get relief early.
"good."
Li Banghua stood up and said: "Everyone, it will take some time to make the agreement. Let's choose a place to rest, and let me wait for the landlord to fulfill our friendship."
Zhang Fengyi and others looked at each other in confusion, wondering what kind of friendship there is between us?
It is very rare that a temporary peace can be achieved in a relationship that is originally hostile.
Do we really sit together, drink tea and chat?
If you dare to invite us, do we dare to go?
There is a eunuch here.
If he went back and complained that I was colluding with foreign enemies, wouldn't his head be saved?
Only Lu Xiangsheng was so magnificent that he was fearless.
"Guo... Brigadier Guo, could you please appreciate your army's firearms?"
Before Guo Wei could answer, Zuo Fu said: "My family's commander-in-chief has a relationship with Mr. Lu. He once said that the court has many wine bags and rice bags, and there are not many people who are as loyal and talented as Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu invites you.
, there is nothing wrong with it.”
These words lifted Lu Xiangsheng to heaven, but also made other people look ugly.
He, Lu Xiangsheng, is a capable minister and official, but if he co-authors it, are we just like a drunkard?
Lu Xiangsheng also felt that Zuo Fu's words seemed to contain evil intentions. But after hearing that he promised to show him the firearm, he couldn't care about anything else for the moment.
"Sorry for disturbing you."
Zuo Fu, Guo Wei and Lu Xiangsheng left alone. The remaining courtiers did not dare to interact with the rebels, so they simply returned to the small room before and waited for the agreement to be finalized.
Seeing this, Li Banghua stopped inviting him and went back with Chonghua to discuss the gains and losses of today's negotiations.
Diplomatic negotiations are also a new thing for Shandong.
Although we won today, Shandong's style is that regardless of success or failure, we must learn lessons and draw lessons from those who come after us.
Lu Xiangsheng followed Zuo Fu and Guo Wei to the school field.
When there is no war, the training of the new army will not be interrupted. Although it is not as lively as what I saw before, there are still many tricks.
Lu Xiangsheng saw rows of soldiers standing in the sun, holding firecrackers in their hands. What was strange was that there was a stone hanging under the barrel of each firecracker.
It was obvious that many soldiers were grinning, but no one relaxed.
He wanted to ask, but thought it would be inappropriate, so he held back.
Zuo Fu and Guo Wei didn't give him any explanation. They waved and brought over a musket.
"Master Lu, how about taking a look at our army's firearms?"
Lu Xiangsheng was surprised. He didn't expect these two people to be so generous. Not only did they let him see it, they also let him touch it with his own hands.
For a moment, Lu Xiangsheng felt as if he had met the woman he loved, and his whole heart was beating wildly.
Gul
The musket is so close that you can see it at a glance.
Under the sun, the barrel of the gun shone with silvery white light, and every part was shining. Compared with the dull and somber appearance of the Ming army, one looked like exquisite porcelain, while the other looked like tatters.
Lu Xiangsheng carefully took the gun and felt the difference as soon as he took it.
The New Army's muskets were much lighter than the Ming Army's muskets.
He weighed it and estimated that it was only one-third of the size of the musket.
And unlike the slightly thick gun body of the bird gun, the one in your hand is slender and has graceful lines. Even the barrel is much thinner than the bird gun, and the tube wall is much thinner.
"Can you let me try it?"
Zuo Fu asked for a bullet from the guard and taught Lu Xiangsheng how to load it on the spot.
This time, Lu Xiangsheng felt the mystery behind it when he tried it in person.
After loading gunpowder into the barrel, he took the small iron pipe and looked at it carefully, feeling even more annoyed.
Why haven't you thought about building such a charging tool?
Filling medicine in this way is much more convenient than the medicine pot used by the Ming army.
Even the medicine pots of the Ming army were designed with a rated amount of gunpowder, but it was all controlled by the soldiers before the battle. In the messy environment and the uneven quality of the soldiers, the powder charges could not be guaranteed to be consistent.
The Mine bomb also gave Lu Xiangsheng great confusion.
"Why are the projectiles made like this?"
Zuo Fu showed him the inside of the gun barrel.
"There are riflings inside, so the projectile will rotate after being fired, so that the projectile can be fired farther and more accurately."
Lu Xiangsheng quickly remembered it in his heart.
I don’t know why Zuo Fu told him such a secret.
Zuo Fu took the flash cap again and instructed him to place it on the fire hole.
The small flash cap made Lu Xiangsheng hungry and thirsty.
"This object looks like it's made of copper, but I don't know why it can be struck and ignited?"
Zuo Fu was still generous and turned the flash cap over and showed him the inside.
"Mercury fulminate powder is added here, and sparks can be generated just by impact."
Lu Xiangsheng was so frustrated that he even doubted his life.
He clearly heard what Zuo Fu said and the thing was right in front of him, but the feeling of not knowing anything about it made him almost want to vomit blood.
He was too embarrassed to ask any more questions, otherwise he would be suspected of spying on military intelligence.
Following Zuo Fu's instructions, he opened the hammer, placed the flash cap, and aimed at the target fifty steps away.
He has been learning military knowledge since he led the army in the war. He has even personally handled fire blunderbuss.
But the one in his hand now gave him a very different feeling.
The holding position is very comfortable, and the shoulder socket is firmly against the butt of the gun. It is not like the Ming army's blunderbuss, where you are always worried that it will suddenly jump when shooting.
"Bang……"
Violent white smoke spurted out from the muzzle, leaving an obvious hole in the target opposite.
The powerful recoil made Lu Xiangsheng shake a little.
There was no need to look at the condition of the target. The recoil alone told him how powerful the fire gun in his hand was.
Seeing that he hit the target on his first try, Zuo Fu and Guo Wei couldn't help but admire him and applauded together.
"As the saying goes, pink is given to beauties, and swords are given to heroes. Mr. Lu is a hero in this world. When we meet him for the first time, he would not consider it as a gift, so I will give you this musket. Please accept it."
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned.
"Send...to me?"
Zuo Fu nodded, and asked for a bullet box from the guard. There were twenty rounds of spare ammunition in it, and he stuffed it into Lu Xiangsheng's hand.
"It's a mere musket. It's an honor to be liked by Mr. Lu."
Lu Xiangsheng instinctively felt that there must be a conspiracy.
But feeling the wonderful touch of the gun in his hand, he couldn't say no.
