Iron blood Suiming

() When Feng Guo used his reasonable deduction that as long as he found out that there was a change in Jiaozhou Mansion, the Lingshan Guard would immediately face the encirclement and suppression of the three prefectures, Wei Chuping wished there was a hole in the ground, and immediately got in .

It's a pity that things in the world can go as he wants, and God doesn't have time to show a hole out of thin air for him to drill.It wasn't until this time that he realized the mood of Zhao Kuo in the Warring States Period. Sure enough, the words "talking about war on paper" are very reasonable.There is another sentence that is a scholar who is useless, and I want to talk about people like him.

For a while, Wei Chuping was disheartened.Just half a day ago, he was still smug about showing off his skills and talking loudly in front of Li Jianguo, but now they all turned into slaps, slapping his face.

He has no face to stay any longer.After Ma Ying and Feng Guoyong left, Wei Chuping reluctantly bowed to Li Jianguo, and said, "General Li, Chuping is ignorant and incompetent, and he has no face to stay any longer. He owes the general's trust, so let's do this." Farewell." He bowed to the end, not wanting Li Jianguo to see his shameful face.He intends to go back home and stay behind closed doors for at least a year.

Li Jianguo didn't expect that a literati would know how to be ashamed. He thought that the skins of literati in the Ming Dynasty were as thick as a city wall, and they couldn't penetrate it even with a musket.Wei Chuping was different, presumably because he had never been an official, had no experience in officialdom, and hadn't learned the ability of 'thick black'.

Although this Wei Chuping's abilities were mediocre, Li Jianguo would never let him go.This is the first scholar who has taken refuge in him. If he is let go like this, it will be more difficult to recruit scholars in the future.Scholars will think that Li Jianguo doesn't respect them, even if Wei Chuping is useless, Li Jianguo will put him there as a 'horse bone', waiting for more talents to vote.

Since he wanted to keep people, he naturally wanted to give up Wei Chuping's idea of ​​leaving. As long as he could help him find a job that suited him, he would give up his idea.

Li Jianguo said: "Why does Mr. have the idea of ​​leaving? This officer is short of such great talents as Mr. I think Mr. thinks this officer is neglectful."

Wei Chuping waved his hands quickly, and said: "How dare Chuping be a great talent. Now that he has seen the general's ability, he knows that he has not learned enough to be qualified for the post of counselor. Please forgive me, General. After Chuping studies hard again, Serve the general again."

Li Kaiguo said with a smile: "The ancients said that 'reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles'. Since sir is not qualified for the post of counselor, can you help me manage money, food and supplies? You will not miss your studies in your spare time."

Wei Chuping's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Li Jianguo would definitely not let him go, so he changed his position at this time, and if he didn't agree, he might have to move in no time.

But he didn't know that he guessed wrong this time, Li Jianguo would not kill him easily, if he was killed, wouldn't it be the thought of most scholars.At that moment, his heart was awe-inspiring, he only felt the cold swishing on the back of his neck, and immediately responded.

Li Jianguo was really at ease, and he handed over the affairs of the supply camp to him. On the surface, he completely delegated power to him. Big leak.

When the horn sounded and the soldiers in the camp fell asleep, Li Jianguo quietly patrolled the tents one by one, helping the soldiers tuck up their quilts from time to time.In fact, some of the soldiers were sleeping deeply, but some were not asleep, they were just pretending to be asleep, and when they saw Li Jianguo coming, they closed their eyes tightly. Is Jianguo buying the morale of the army? This behavior always makes the soldiers feel the urge to die for Li Jianguo.

It's not that the soldiers are too naive, you can die for others by covering you with a quilt, I really haven't experienced it personally, I can't appreciate how much impact this simple act has on people's hearts, because people's hearts are not as treacherous as those in later generations .

When Li Jianguo returned to the Commander's Mansion after finishing his tour show, the official road was still busy transporting goods. Seeing the excited expressions of the businessmen, Li Jianguo sneered in his heart. It's not that easy to earn. I'll put it with you now, and I'll get it back later.

At this time, Li Jianguo has nearly 200 million taels of silver in cash, but no amount of money will be spent. It has only been more than ten days, and he has already released more than 70 taels of silver. reason for coming.

And another reason is salt. The original salt field is now controlled by Li Jianguo, and I don’t know what he thinks. Now Lingshanwei and the surrounding salt fields do not sell even a ounce of salt, and all the salt produced is owned by Li Jianguo. The founding of the country is set up.When he did this, the price of salt in Shandong rose, and even affected the price of salt in Hebei.

On the second day, the sun just came out of the mountain, and suddenly a gust of wind blew from the sea. Before the carriage transporting Lumi guns from Jianghu village drove into the barracks, raindrops the size of soybeans had already "crackled" down. Fortunately, every The Lumi blunderbuss and the ammunition were tightly wrapped in oiled paper, so they were not soaked in water, but obviously, the expected firearms training was in vain.

Li Jianguo looked at the Lumi gun made of Jinggang with a dark face. In rainy weather, this firearm is like a fire stick, and it is useless.If it rains when you fight against the enemy that day, what's the matter? Is it really necessary to use cold weapons to fight close to each other?

This is not possible, we must solve the problem of firearms being afraid of rain as soon as possible, and immediately he offered another bounty to Tie DaPao, if there is a way to solve the problem of using firearms in rainy days, the bounty will be a thousand taels, and he will never break his promise.

Iron Cannon hurried back, he wanted to bring the news to all craftsmen in Jianghu Village. Although Li Jianguo had offered a lot of bounties for better muskets, cannons and firearms, there was no doubt that this request It is the best finish, isn't it waterproof?As long as there is money, are you afraid that no one will come up with a solution?

Li Jianguo wandered around in the tent, he would not bet all his treasures on others, and he was also trying to solve this problem.According to the experience of later generations, the problem of waterproofing can only be solved after the invention of the breech-loading gun and the creation of primer bullets.

But he didn't have time to wait until that day. He was afraid that in a few days, these Lumi guns would go into battle to kill the enemy. If the weather like today happened again, it would be fatal.

Even though it was stormy outside, more than [-] recruits were still training in the rain. Although the bean-sized raindrops hurt their bodies, the recruits were still full of enthusiasm. From time to time, it broke through the barrier of the storm and penetrated into the ears of Li Jianguo in the heavy tent.
