Villager of Daming

Chapter 1023: Personal qualities are different and everything is done by yourself

At that time, gunpowder was stored very strictly, knowing that it would explode.

The gunpowder formula is not optimal, a little bit close, but it is easy to adjust. Xiaqiu Village did a lot of experimenting when making it.

You will know the content after burning it a few times. If you compare it with a standard, you will know which one is missing at a glance.

The materials are all available locally, and can be patched up, granulated, and used to blast rocks. It is not particularly good at mining, and it is not as good as nitroglycerin detonated by a detonator.

But it's better than burning the stone first and then pouring cold water on it. The old gunpowder is not used to make the paper shell bullets, and the newly mixed gunpowder is used to make new bullets.

Local saltpeter and sulfur are all available, but they are worthless. But this formula is not available to ordinary people and is accurate to two decimal places.

After lunch, a group of craftsmen cooperated with Xiaqiu Village to dispose of the gunpowder in the original warehouse. They dug a trench around it, with water flowing in it, and a row of iron objects next to it. Anyone who wanted to enter had to touch the iron with both hands to eliminate static electricity, and then someone sprayed it on them. Water mist.

The officials didn't go in because they didn't want to know the secret and they didn't dare.

Xie Cheng was also waiting outside, but Xie Qiaoer and his wife went to help. In fact, there was no open flame, static electricity, or heavy objects hitting the gunpowder. No matter how hot the sun was, it was impossible to ignite the gunpowder unless it was at the equator.

There is less salt in the mutton soup, so there will be no stomach problems if you drink it, but it won't work if you drink tea, juice, or boiled water.

"I never thought that the Ming Dynasty would have such a team, and the previous emperors had no such team when they went on patrol."

How stupid do you have to be to still lose like this? If you want to hang yourself from a crooked-neck tree, even the crooked-neck tree will despise you.

"Here are the binoculars for you." Xie Cheng took off the binoculars from his neck and handed them to his colleagues. Officials don't have binoculars, it's a military level.

Guo Jinglan did not leave. He stood outside the isolation line without using a parasol. He held a bowl of mutton soup in his hand, a clear soup without mutton fat, and drank it in small sips.

Chai Shu got excited and spoke smoothly, but found that he was wrong.

Chai Shu tried his best to stretch his neck and put his feet up to look inside: "Other patrol teams give people a sense of majesty and solemnity, but your highnesses feel at ease. It doesn't matter if the sky falls."

He doesn't even care about fighting Bei Yuan when he doesn't have good firearms. It's not like he hasn't fought before. Right now, the weapons are ahead and he can't kill you.

"It doesn't matter. Even though we won't be able to kill the nine tribes if we lose the battle, we can't afford to live anymore." Xie Cheng expressed his understanding.

Qianhu Tangcheng from the Ninghua Inspection Department touched the small pistol on his waist: "It would be great if all our Ming Dynasty inspection teams were like this."

"What are you dreaming about?" His immediate superior, Yan'an Hou Tang Zongsheng, slapped him: "This team can do anything. It will destroy the enemy when it encounters it. It will treat the patient when it encounters it. The Ming Dynasty cannot form a second team.

Really, who has had personal experience when they were children? It’s a pity that there are so many small whips. They should be taken apart one by one and placed one by one, but the whole thing ends up hanging...

There are always people in the marching team who pretend to be fake, and we know that, as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, we can tolerate it.

"Thank you! Oops! You can indeed see it clearly. You see the enemy first on the battlefield! With these weapons and tools, if you lose the battle, you will kill the nine tribes. Oh, I'm not talking about you."

He had been drinking before and put too much salt in the mutton soup. He was thirsty. What water should he drink? No water is suitable, including eating fruits. The only way is to continue drinking mutton soup.

Because in rural areas, when the head of a heated kang is heated, a small whip will be ignited when placed on it.

The telescope can see the enemy general's command. The musket has a long range, reloads quickly, and can penetrate shields and leather armor.

Looking at the current team, including every eunuch and maid, taken individually, they are already several levels higher than ordinary people.

Each of the palace guards has basically the skills of a junior general, and is more effective than Qianhu on the battlefield.

Can you imagine how powerful an army composed of thousands of households is? Invincible, and incredibly quick to accept orders. "Those who fight care most about the individual abilities of soldiers. After Yan'an Hou Tang Zongsheng observed it, he found that every one of these guards could command the battle.

Treating such people as ordinary soldiers, how strong is the combat effectiveness of the entire team? The weapons equipped by individual soldiers are different.

The most feared thing in a war is the headwind situation. Once a certain area is breached by the enemy, the whole line will collapse.

It is normal to be afraid of death.

But the palace guards don't know how, they don't dare, and their family members are well taken care of.

If you don't withdraw, you will die, and your family's treatment will be improved; if you return, you will die, and your family will die together.

We need good weapons, we need fighting skills, we need fighting skills, and we need loyalty and loyalty. How strong is a team?

And this is only the outer layer to protect the four His Highnesses. Inside is the team from Xiaqiu Village, and the outer layer is the palace maids and eunuchs.

Are palace maids and eunuchs weak in combat? Maybe not strong enough with knives, but they used guns and grenades.

Tang Zongsheng, the Marquis of Yan'an, had thought that if the 100,000-strong army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in its heyday faced this team of four princes and did not run away, the entire army would be annihilated.

Believe it or not, the princes' troops were mining and making weapons while fighting and moving?
There is a river in front of us. There are fish in the river. The princes' team is rolling forward to catch fish. Can they be stopped?
Where the enemy's grain and grass are stored, the prince's team sends out an assault pile to grab it. Who can stop it?

The weapons are not equal, especially the submachine gun in Xiaqiu Village, which is fast and accurate within a hundred paces.

The enemy is not invulnerable. They charge siege and are felled one by one like wheat. How can they not be defeated?

"Are they taking us for fun? It's rude to watch."

Ling'er and Xie Qiao'er gently stirred the gunpowder with water and found that people outside were watching the excitement.

"Sister Ling'er, are you afraid of leaking the secret?" Xie Qiaoer was wearing plastic gloves when stirring. She couldn't use a wooden stick. If she got too strong, she would just put the wet gunpowder between the trough and the wooden stick and explode it. Woolen cloth?
When the weather is hot, there is always dry gunpowder appearing on the edge of the slot. Your hands are the most sensitive and will not exert such a large squeezing force.

"The black powder must have leaked the secret. Bei Yuan ran away, and when they got outside, the gun was still in use. How could it not be leaked?

But if the formula is different, the power of the gunpowder explosion will be much different.

Gunpowder is divided into many categories, including propellant, explosive, and igniting powder, and the formulas need to be adjusted.

I mean, are they bored? What's the use of working here? Find them something to do! "

Ling'er shook her head. She couldn't understand it just by looking at it from a distance. She was just watching others relax while she was in a bad mood while working.

then……

"Auntie, have the vegetables in the field at home that are almost old been dried? I am Cao Longzhao, the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture. I want to ask. I won't collect land taxes and taxes, and I won't let you do hard work. Just ask."

"My dear friend, why do you sell so much fish? How do you eat this fish? It's three inches long, does it need to be stewed? You must be a netizen. No, you don't mean anything else. What do you want to do? Beat people? We don't Asked how the fish came.”

"Little baby, how many days have you kept the snails? Have you added any salt? Adding some oil will make the snails spit out more sediment."

"My child, you're wrong, you picked it wrong. This is not mugwort! If you don't plant it during the festival tomorrow, then...what are you doing? Ah! Magistrate! Okay, take it. This kind is more expensive than mugwort, you know!"
