The journey of giving birth to a son

Meng Danyang saw the heroic female soldier in front of him, taking neat steps. Doing uniform fighting movements, I felt very satisfied. I specially asked Xiao Shao to come over to see the training of the Detachment of Women. Now the results of this training can be used on the battlefield!

When Xiao Shao saw these people standing in a row, he felt a little more confident in defending the city.

"That's right!" Xiao Shao said again as if he remembered something, "The Shenji Camp sent a batch of bird guns before, and I have already started to train some bird gun players. I think women are smart and can also train some people to operate them. Birdgun, what do you think?"

Meng Danyang was a little worried when he mentioned the blunderbuss. Some soldiers had used blunderbuss before, but the chamber exploded and their hands were broken. Because of this incident, the new batch of blunderbuss could only be placed in weapons. Curry, it’s not even useful now!

Xiao Shao saw what she was thinking, "You also know that there is a shortage of weapons now, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. These blunderbuss have been newly developed and will not explode. I don't have enough manpower here, so I suggest you select twenty people here to learn how to control the blunderbuss!"

Meng Danyang looked at these female soldiers and naturally turned his attention to the more outstanding ones, Jiang Shiyi and Xie Zhaoyu! Of course that includes myself!
Xiao Shao saw Jiang Shiyi standing in the team, not squinting, and felt that she was so outstanding, so he nodded, "We will select forty people and leave twenty outstanding ones in the end. What do you think? "

Meng Danyang did what Xiao Shao said and chose forty people to stand aside!

Xiao Shao wanted to wave, so he called someone over.

Lu Zhan wore a new military uniform, with a tall and majestic posture, and walked into their sight.

Lu Zhan noticed Jiang Shiyi's gaze and smiled at her.

Jiang Shiyi raised her lips, and Xie Zhaoyu also looked at Lu Zhan with surprised eyes. She hadn't seen him for several days. As the sister-in-law, she was naturally worried!
"I didn't know we had such a talent here!" Xiao Shao introduced Lu Zhan to Meng Danyang, "He has extremely good archery skills and is also proficient in firearms! He is a talent!"

Xiao Shao ordered some people to bring over twenty guns. Everyone had never seen this new type of firearm, so they all stood aside and watched!

Lu Zhan demonstrated to them with a blunderbuss. First, he filled it with gunpowder, then tamped it with a rod, filled it with igniting gunpowder, and blew the match against it.
Target fired.

Jiang Shiyi looked at these bird guns. In ancient times, it was quite troublesome to control bird guns. Each person had to carry more than thirty small bamboo tubes with exactly the same amount of gunpowder. After opening the door and pouring in the initiating powder, Shake it up so that the initiator fills the fire door, so that when the initiator is ignited, it can ignite the propellant in the barrel through the fire door.

When going into battle, the gunman's match rope must be kept burning, otherwise it will delay the fighter's chance of fighting, so the length of the match rope must be long enough.

When shooting, the gunman holds the middle part of the gun with his left hand, opens the fire door with his right hand, holds the butt of the gun, then puts his face on the butt of the gun, aims at the enemy with one eye, and once he hears the command, he uses the index finger of his right hand to shoot the gun. Pull the trigger to fire.

This gun is quite complicated to operate. It requires quick eyesight and a certain amount of courage!

After Lu Zhan gave a demonstration, he fired at the branch next to him.

"Boom..." A little bird fell from the tree!
The sound was so loud that many people went out to the threshing floor, expecting the sound of Tatar artillery.

"Okay!" Xiao Shao took the lead in applauding, "From today on, Lu Zhan will teach you how to operate the gun."

Everyone also applauded!
There was a lot of fun in the side room of the Defense Mansion. "Come and eat, eat more!" After her son finally came back, Mrs. Zhang finally felt relieved when she saw her son's worries. She made two more delicious dishes for dinner and put the ribs into her son's bowl.

"Mom, you eat too!" Lu Zhan gave Zhang a piece of meat! Looking at the white hair on my mother's temples and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, I feel very uncomfortable. I must work hard to let my mother live a good life.

"Eat, eat, eat!" Ms. Zhang picked up the bowl. She had been worried these days. Lu Zhan finally came home. It would be great if there was no war!
For Mr. Zhang now, it is better than anything else for the family to be together!
"Mom, don't worry, the Tatars have attacked several times, but they haven't taken down the city wall. Nothing will happen!" Lu Zhan comforted his mother.

"Okay, okay! You have to pay attention to your safety!"

Lu Zhan nodded, looked at the ribs on the table, and took a piece for each of them!
Jiang Shiyi also had a piece in his bowl!
"Lu Zhan, how did Mr. Xiao know that you can use a blunderbuss?"

Xie Zhaoyu asked.

When Lu Zhan was in the capital, he was the prince of the Hou family. He studied and practiced martial arts since he was a child. He liked to study various weapons, read military books, arrange troops and form formations. He also liked to study firearms. He had many good friends in the Shenji camp, so he had nothing to do. Always be with them when doing it, and as time goes by, you will naturally be able to do everything.

The Tatars have not attacked the city these days, giving them a chance to breathe. Lu Zhan's injuries were better, and he went to the city gate to defend the city again. He heard Xiao Shao and other officials talking about these things, so he stood up and said that he could operate a blunderbuss. Xiao Shao was naturally overjoyed. That day When he was shooting arrows, Xiao Shao noticed this young man. He was tall and handsome, so he took him to the weapons arsenal to see the muskets.

Xiao Shao was worried that there were too many casualties among the soldiers and not enough manpower. Lu Zhan thought about the female soldiers here!

Shi Yi is right, women are no worse than men. If men can go into battle to kill enemies, so can women!
Lu Zhan looked at Jiang Shiyi and smiled.

When Lu Zhan said this, Jiang Shiyi looked at Lu Zhan and saw in him the carefree and unrestrained look of the Hou family master in the past.

In the past nearly a year, family changes, the departure of his father and brother, and the hardships of life have weighed heavily on him. Lu Zhan has become taciturn! Sometimes even a little negative!
Looking at Lu Zhan like this, Jiang Shiyi felt very happy!
I hope he can continue like this!

Mrs. Zhang was naturally very happy when she heard that her son would not be guarding the city gate for the time being but would instead come to train as a gun shooter. Her son was finally respected.

After finishing the meal, Lu Xiang went to clear away the dishes, and Lu Zhan began to teach Xie Zhaoyu, Jiang Shiyi and the others how to control the blunderbuss.

Both of them listened very carefully!
In the evening, Lu Zhan went to live in the barracks, and Jiang Shiyi went to see Huang Yuehua again. These days, Huang Yuehua had some threatened miscarriages, so Zhang had been taking care of her and would not let her get off the kang. Lu Xiang cooked for her Washing clothes, but now Huang Yuehua's situation seems to be getting worse and worse! All those miscarriage medicines don’t work!
"This child probably has no fate with me!" Huang Yuehua, her hair disheveled and her face pale, was lying on the kang, "Thank you for taking such trouble for me!"

"Sister Yuehua! You must know now that you are a mother, and being a mother means being strong. You must be strong! Protect your children!"

Jiang Shiyi didn't know what to say, so he could only persuade Huang Yuehua like this.

It would be great if there is news about Cui Zhiyuan now! (End of chapter)
