please make me king

Chapter 56
Zhang Shun originally thought that this fellow was about to become angry from embarrassment, and planned to order Wukong to capture him first.But he didn't expect this fellow to hear this, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed, then got off his horse, bowed three times to Zhang Shun and shouted loudly: "I am Suide Wei Congyi, and my name is Junxi. Originally, I am Suide There are hundreds of families of virtue and health, but because of the disaster in their hometown, they had no way to make a living, so they had to join the rebel army with their subordinates. However, the king was incompetent for his own use, and we were hungry and full. As the saying goes, "a good bird chooses a tree Habitat, a good minister chooses the master to do things'. Now I heard that your high righteousness has abandoned the king's own use, and I will follow you. I would like to be used by eagles and dogs, but I only want to be full."

Zhang Shun heard this, and said with great joy: "Zhenwu's son, Longye! In the past, Zhao Zilong abandoned Gongsun Zan in the Three Kingdoms and followed Uncle Liu Huang. It must be the same!"

After speaking, he also got off the horse, put his left hand in front of the steel whip on his left waist, and stretched out his right hand to help "Zilong" Wei Congyi up.Wei Congyi was also very moved, and happily waved his hands to let his brothers put down their weapons and come together to meet the lord.

The two sides enjoyed each other for a while, Zhang Shun asked Zhao Yutou to arrange for Wei Congyi's men, and he took Wei Congyi to introduce him to his subordinates Chen Changbing, Xiao Qinhu, Zhang Sanbai and others.When Chen Changbing saw this person, he looked at him with a firm face.

Zhang Shun knew that there must be something hidden in it, but the two sides hadn't tried to meet each other yet, so there was no need to tear up their faces now.On the contrary, Zhang Shun saw that his face was disheveled, so he arranged for the people below to prepare a table and invite him to drink.

After a while, Chen Jingzhi ordered the soldiers to serve some small dishes and several large bowls of noodles.Wei Congyi saw it, but he was like a hungry wolf, regardless of his image, he picked up chopsticks and ate with big mouthfuls.Originally there was one bowl for each person, Zhang Shun ate two mouthfuls, and seeing that Wei Congyi's bowl was almost bottomed out, he pushed his own to him and said, "Brother Wei eat slowly, if it's not enough, I have another bowl here. And you eat it together."

"I'm laughing." Wei Congyi said embarrassedly, "Since the drought in Suide, my family has had no crops. I haven't eaten white noodles for a long time, but I'm so hungry."

Hearing the words, Chen Changzhu opened his mouth and wanted to say something sarcastic, but Zhang Shun saw it, winked and stopped him.After eating his own, Wei Congyi started to eat Zhang Shun's, and burst into tears as he ate, and began to cry.

When Zhang Shun saw it, he was surprised: there was no onion on this side, so why did he cry.Of course, he asked with concern: "Brother Wei, why are you crying? But there's not enough noodles?"

"No, no!" Wei Congyi cried, "I am full to eat here, but I think of my brothers outside, who can't even eat grass roots, bark, grains and grass seeds, so I am sad, but it makes my lord It's a joke."

"Where is it, this is the deep brotherhood." Zhang Shun said after hearing this, "It's no problem, where is Chen Jingzhi? And order to prepare some food for Brother Wei's subordinates, so that everyone can have a full meal immediately."

When Chen Jingzhi heard the words, he went down to make arrangements, while Wei Congyi was so moved that he sat down immediately, bowed to Zhang Shun three times, and shouted: "If you win the Lord from Congyi, you will repay him with death!"

At this time, the craftsman Liu Gang came in, walked up to Zhang Shun and said, "My lord, all the pig iron has been fried, and some wrought iron has come out, my lord, would you like to see how it is?"

Zhang Shun looked at Wei Congyi, feeling a bit embarrassed, and was about to tell Liu Gang to look back.But it never occurred to Wei Congyi that after hearing this, he returned to his seat, picked up the Dahai bowl, ate up the noodles with three mouthfuls of "huluhulu" in two mouthfuls, drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp, and licked it. Wan Yan said: "My lord, I voted for my lord from the righteous side, but I haven't made an inch of merit. Although Congyi has no great talent, but he has been in the guard for a long time, and he knows a thing or two about this artillery. Why don't I follow the lord and go there?" Staff staff?"

Zhang Shun was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "I just don't know what kind of cannon to make. Let's talk as we walk, and you can tell me what to do."

"There are several types of cannons. There are three kinds of cannons: earthen cannons, Western cannons and Franji. These earthen cannons are all produced by our Ming Dynasty, and they have long been unusable. Only the tiger crouching cannon made by Qi Nantang in the past is the most practical. So far it is the most used in the military.”

"The second is the Frang machine. It is said that it came from the overseas Frang machine country. This thing has no other advantages, only the rear end has a hole, which can be quickly loaded and the firepower is continuous. However, it caused the rear end to vent its anger, which is more powerful. weak."

"Finally, it is a Western cannon. It is said that it came from overseas. I heard that this thing is thin in the front and thick in the back, like a mallet, but I only heard about it, and I have never seen it with my own eyes."

Zhang Shun and Wei Congyi arrived at the iron smelting place, took a rough look at the wrought iron that had been tempered, and it seemed to be good, so they arranged for Liu Gang to continue to smelt.At this time, Wei Congyi saw it but said: "This tiger crouching method is forged with fine iron. This thing has just been made, and there is still residual heat. It can be used to burn red for forging, saving the power of carbon fire."

Hearing this, Zhang Shun asked Liu Gang to find a few people and take the opportunity to forge some tile-shaped iron pieces first.He himself pulled Wei Congyi to ask him the size of the artillery.Wei Congyi is most familiar with the tiger squatting cannon, and he drew the tiger squatting cannon in no time, and explained the dimensions of each part.

It turns out that the tiger crouching guns are not of the same type. Although their shapes are the same, they have different calibers.The most commonly used ones are two-inch caliber, two feet long, and weigh [-] jin; and three-inch caliber, three feet long, and weigh [-] jin.

Zhang Shun was very happy when he heard this, so he ordered Liu Gang to lead craftsmen to forge each of these cannons for trial use.This time, the technical difficulty was gone. That night, Liu Gang showed Zhang Shun a large and a small tiger squatting cannon, and asked Zhang Shun to watch it.

Zhang Shun only saw that the cannon in front of him was not very long, round and had five iron wheels on his body, so he ordered the craftsmen to test fire it.This time the test firing was quite successful, three shots were fired in a row, and the big and small tiger crouching guns were as strong as usual.Just a little flaw, the big tiger squat cannon broke free from the nails driving the claw nails, but it's not a big problem.

Zhang Shun ordered the craftsmen to weigh them again. One weighed about [-] catties and the other weighed more than [-] catties, both of which were overweight.However, Wei Congyi said: "The weight of this artillery, [-] jin and [-] jin, are ideal. In fact, there are many people who are overweight, and it does not affect the use."

Originally, Zhang Shun still wanted to keep improving, but after thinking about it, Dou Zhuang was still in full swing, and it seemed that he didn't have so much time for himself to refine it slowly.Simply remove the iron hoop, thicken the cannon wall, and let the craftsmen cast it directly.

As for the remaining fine iron, simply let the saved workers step up hammer forging, first forge into iron plates, and then process them into breastplates for use.It turned out that Zhang Shun saw that Wei Congyi was wearing a fine iron armor, which looked mighty and domineering without losing the defensive effect.So he pretended to be public for his own benefit, and wanted to equip some of his fierce generals with iron armor.
