please make me king

Chapter 181 Rebel Camp
Zhang Shun was very happy to have won these twenty coppersmiths.He mentioned in the online novels he read in his previous life that bronze was the most readily available and better-performing cannon casting material at that time.He didn't really know how to cast a cannon, but he had a scientific way of thinking and understood some basic principles.

With a lot of data, for Zhang Shun, as long as he slowly experimented, he could obtain an ideal artillery model.In the past, artillery was made of cast iron or forged with wrought iron. Not only could the artillery materials not be reused simply, but it also took a lot of time.

But with copper, the situation is different.Zhang Shun can order the coppersmith to make the cannon and test various data repeatedly, even if the cannon explodes, it will not hurt anyone.Even if the cannon is broken, it can be melted and recast.

Therefore, Zhang Shun deliberately collected some copper materials and coppersmiths during his march in Zhangzi County.Along the way, more than [-] coppersmiths were collected, and hundreds of gongs, cymbals, and cymbals of various types were collected.

It turns out that Zhangzi County is already famous for its production of copper music, among which the technique of "beating the gong with a thousand hammers to finalize the sound with one hammer" is the most famous.When making a copper musical instrument, these craftsmen are divided into a fitter and four hammerers. The fitter is a master and is a full-handed style with exquisite craftsmanship. One of the four hammerers uses a small hammer, and the remaining three use a large hammer. Hammer, made of hot forged copper ingots.

When Zhang Shun learned about this matter from the manger master, he was fortunate to find that he had recruited a few fitters anyway, otherwise the work of making copper ware could go on before it was finished.

After Changzi County, Tunliu County to the north, Lucheng County after Cunliu, and Licheng County to the north of Lucheng.Zhang Shun's trip actually circled around the city of Lu'an and traveled a long way.

It turned out that this Lu'an Mansion City was also the residence of Prince Shen's Mansion, the clan of the Ming Dynasty. For the safety of the clan, the Lu'an Mansion mobilized all the elites of the mansion to stay behind closed doors, fearing that the city would be attacked by the rebels.However, the rebel army headed by "Zijin Liang" has not yet decided to completely break with the Ming Dynasty, and they have a tacit understanding not to attack Lu'an Fucheng.

As soon as the Taoist Wuxu entered Lu'an Mansion, he smiled at "Zijin Liang" and said, "The second master, this is God's will! This Lu'an Mansion should be the ear of the chaotic mansion, and the Zhu family's world is in chaos from here!"

"Zijin Liang" was still dreaming about Zhao'an this time, so he felt harsh when he heard it, so he pulled his face back and said: "The Taoist priest is careful, if it is mentioned after Zhao'an, it is quite inappropriate!"

Daoist Wuxu chuckled lightly when he heard the words, and didn't take it seriously.

In fact, this practitioner of Taoism made clear the problem of the name here, so in the eighth year of Jiajing, after Luzhou was promoted to Lu'an Mansion, in order to seek auspiciousness, he named Fuguo County "Changzhi County" and took " The meaning of long-term peace and stability.This is why it is called Changzhi City in later generations.

Zhang Shun and others passed Tunliu County and then entered Lucheng County.As a result, Zhang Shun suddenly found that the coppersmiths he had worked so hard to recruit had instantly "depreciated".

It turns out that Lucheng County has more bronze wares, especially copper vats, copper basins, copper spoons, copper locks, copper pots, etc., and copper and tin shops are everywhere.Zhang Shun was overjoyed, and quickly ordered people to "recruit" coppersmiths and "buy" copper, tin and other materials at the same time.

These people have been plundered many times by "Zijin Liang" and others, how can they be willing to submit honestly?

It turns out that copper in this era represents money, and the so-called copper coins are nothing more than lead-copper alloys. This copper barely enters the ranks of precious metals.After "Zijin Liang" heard about this matter, he specially sent someone to tell Zhang Shun: "Lucheng Tongxi is exhausted, little brother, don't delay the trip!"

Zhang Shun's face turned dark when he heard this.Fortunately, at least a dozen coppersmiths were collected from several shops before they could be considered a rest.

After leaving the sad Lucheng County, we arrived at Licheng County where the Rebel Army camp is located.The army hadn't reached Licheng yet, and by the way, Zhang found that the terrain was more complicated.

Zhang Shun didn't know that this place was naturally an excellent place for peasant uprisings.During the Jiajing period, Chen Qing revolted near this county. Taking Qingyang Mountain as the base, he defeated the officers and soldiers and captured Lucheng, Licheng, Huguan, most of Luzhou, as well as Lin County in Henan and She County in Hebei to the east of Taihang Mountain. .

It took four or five years for the officers and soldiers to finally suppress the uprising of the peasant army.In order to prevent the resurgence of the peasant army, and to win favor, they set aside [-] miles of Lucheng, [-] miles of Licheng, and [-] miles of Huguan, a total of [-] miles, and established Pingshun County.I hope that the people here can keep themselves safe and sound, and don't cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty. If there is a riot in time, it can turn up and down, and calm down in time.

This camp of the rebel army is nowhere else, it is on Liangjia Mountain not far from Licheng County.Although this place is very close to the county seat, the terrain is dangerous and it is close to the Zhuozhang River, so it can be regarded as a good camp.

What's more, "Zijin Liang" thinks that this mountain has a good relationship with him.Liangjiashan is also Liangjiashan.He called himself "Zijinliang", and this mountain belongs to him.

What's more, there are Shiliangkou and Fengdong Mountains to the east of Liangjia Mountain, Ma'an Mountains to the south, Longfu Mountains to the west, and Taihang Mountains to the north, all of which are easy to defend and station troops.Most of the other thirty-six battalions of volunteers were stationed nearby, and they could act as momentum and horns for each other.

Zhang Shun led the team to look around, and couldn't help being greatly shocked.At this time, the sky was cold and the trees were bleak.Without the cover of green leaves, there are many buildings built with huge stones among the mountains in the distance.The towering one is the watchtower, and the taller one is the stone city, which is once again a small Great Wall.

Within the area enclosed by the Small Great Wall, there are countless camps, and between the camps there are facilities such as racetracks and military training grounds.

Compared with this place, our camp is as shabby as a thatched cottage, not worth mentioning at all.However, after all, no matter how good the mansion is, it belongs to others, and no matter how bad the thatched cottage is, it belongs to him. Zhang Shun clearly distinguishes it.

Zhang Shun led the team and followed the "Zijin Liang" into the camp, while the Chuangying parted from Zhang Shun and "Zijin Liang".His camp was not at the same place as the other rebels, and he had to cross the Taihang Mountains to return to the camp.

When Zhang Shun's troops arrived at the camp of the rebel army, Zhang Shun's subordinates also opened their eyes, and they were all full of praise.In the evening, "Zijin Liang" set up a banquet in person, and invited other leaders of the rebel army in the battalion, Zhang Shun and his subordinates to come and have fun.

Although "Zijinliang" has various deficiencies, the scene work was done beautifully at that time.Due to the large number of bosses in the rebel army, he directly set up two or three hundred banquet tables, and called out the musicians and dancers looted from who knows where, and came out to perform together.

At the beginning, everyone was still concerned about face, but "Zijin Liang" knew their virtues well, so they took the opportunity to pull Zhang Shun and tell everyone that a new brother had joined the group, and then introduced Zhang Shun to several powerful leaders one by one. .

Zhang Shun couldn't remember all these people one by one, but roughly remembered "Xing Honglang", "Eight Great Kings", "Hun Shi Wang", "Guo Tian Xing" and others.After a face-to-face meeting and a few bowls of wine, everyone turned to each other. They didn't pay attention to whether they were brothers or not. Instead, they pulled the woman in front of them and began to perform Zhou Gong's rituals.

Zhang Shun looked at the banquet that looked like wild sex, and was immediately speechless, so he left and went back to his residence.
