Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

In addition, Denglai also has Portuguese craftsmen and a large number of boring and lathe machines, all of which were transported by Jesus from far away from Europe. Each machine is at least a few hundred taels of silver, and these machines are also damaged. Or take it away. www>

And Sun Yuanhua's master Xu Guangqi's plan to revolutionize the firearms system of Ming officers and soldiers also failed completely after the Denglai Rebellion.

The craftsmen and machines were gone, and the technocrat Sun Yuanhua in charge was beheaded by the order of the Chongzhen Emperor because of the loss of the city and soil. Naturally, there was no need to mention any plans.

As for the artisans, there were originally many Liao people, but after Zhang Shouren searched around, he found more than a dozen skilled artisans.These people were all Liao craftsmen who worked in Denglai back then. After the war, they escaped by chance, and they were caught in the sea of ​​misery. It was a big help to Zhang Shouren.

If Denglai was intact and Sun Yuanhua was still there, I am afraid that these craftsmen would never fall into his hands. [

In addition to the craftsmen, there are five complete breech beds, which can be regarded as a great help in making guns and cannons.

Now Lao Lin has more than 100 skilled craftsmen and more than [-] apprentices, and they are continuously producing weapons and firecrackers every day.

The standard of the firecrackers made in this castle is the same, the quality is high, and the explosion of the chamber has almost never happened. However, recently, Lao Lin and his team have not focused on the firecrackers and weapons, but turned to the research of armor and artillery. .

It took several months of research to build the firecracker. The artillery seems simple, but if you want to smooth the barrel, reduce the weight of the gun body, make it easy to carry and transport, easy to use on the battlefield, and there is also the trouble of recoil... Ming Army artillery is all fixed gun positions, and wooden tenons are used to raise the gun positions for aiming. It takes a long time to reset after firing a cannon, so the artillery is almost useless in field battles, and is only used in large quantities when defending the city.

I am afraid that these problems cannot be solved with the level of Lin Zhonggui and his group. Even the cannons made by Sun Yuanhua are still a grade inferior to the Portuguese cannons. It is more. Technically, the Europeans have already left the Chinese behind.

Now Lao Lin and his group are just practicing their hands non-stop. Anyway, what they are casting now is for the pier fortress, and they are all fixed gun positions. The problem of movement and reset is not yet considered. It is sufficient to solve the technical problem of the proposed iron core copper tire.

Apart from casting cannons, that's what Zhang Shouren came to see tonight.

"Okay, I'm full."

Zhang Shouren pushed away his rice bowl with a contented expression.

Looking at the smiling hostess, Zhang Shouren said with a smile: "Sister-in-law cooks a good dish, and this dried radish tastes just right. The pancakes are also very fragrant."

"Adults like it, come here often..."

"Bullshit, my lord has nothing to come and eat your multigrain pancakes!"

Lao Lin blushed, and immediately stepped forward, letting Zhang Shouren say: "Don't be joking, my lord, I'm really slow tonight, wait for the next time... But the thing to see is really built, and it's placed outside , Sir, please go and have a look.”

Zhang Shouren really praised it. Recently, in order to strengthen his physique, he has been eating big fish and big meat every day, and he is really tired of it. This night, eating some porridge and side dishes really feels appetizing.

It was inconvenient to explain at the moment, so I just stood up with a smile, nodded and smiled at the hostess and the children, and then strode out.

There were quite a lot of people waiting outside, dozens of people stood there shadowy, and when they saw Zhang Shouren coming out, the ones who suddenly fell to their knees were the ones.

"How many times have I said that you express your gratitude because you are doing things well, not on your head." Feeling helpless, Zhang Shouren said loudly to the crowd: "I am happy when things are done well. What are you here for?"

All the people who said something were frowning, only Lao Lin and the old craftsmen were happy, obviously feeling a little gloating when they saw everyone making a fool of themselves.

They are the luckiest among the Liao people, and they settled down in this fort early on. [

Now that the entire fort is being rebuilt, Zhang Shouren has extended the scope of more than half a mile here in the northeast corner. Such a large place is all inhabited by craftsmen.

All the craftsmen have built new residences. Taking advantage of the large-scale construction in the castle, they have opened up dozens of acres of land in the northeast corner, all of which are three main rooms, two side rooms and a small courtyard with a door. The residents of the whole castle have shown their power, and they are also very beautiful. The foundation is large stones, green bricks are laid in the yard, underground ditches are opened for drainage, wells and toilets are available, and it is very convenient and comfortable to live in.

When they moved in, the whole family of dozens of Liaodong artisans knelt in front of the street of Zhang Shouren's hundred-household government hall and kowtowed countless heads.

Although Zhang Shouren was not in the castle that day, everyone was just nibbling at an empty courtyard.

But Liao people's gratitude, how can they express their gratitude without this method.

In such a yard, there is also a monthly payment of food and silver, shoes, cloth and medicinal materials are distributed for free from above.Everyone doesn't have to worry about not having enough to eat. Children wake up from hunger in the middle of the night, or starve to death due to malnutrition, and women don't half-close their doors because the whole family goes to work as prostitutes... Speaking of the past, all Liaodong living in Shandong Everyone has bitterness and blood and tears on their faces.

In fact, these Liao people may not all come here with Kong Youde. Many of them fled from Kaiyuan Tieling during the Nurhachi era, fled from Liaodong to the islands around Pidao, and then fled to Dengdao by boat. In the Lai area, if Kong Youde hadn't caused the rebellion, these people could still barely have food and clothing. After Kong Youde's rebellion, the Liao people were generally hostile in Shandong, and life was naturally extremely difficult.

It's all right now, although Zhang Shouren only needs craftsmen at this stage, and skilled craftsmen are preferred, but Deputy Qianhu has promised that with the development of this castle, more Liao people will be used in the future.

Unlike ordinary Shandong people, Mr. Deputy Qianhu has a broader mind, a broader mind, and more benevolence.

Like all strong men, Zhang Shouren will only aim his sword at the real enemy, and will not spread hatred and resentment on irrelevant similar people like a weak man who resents women!
