I'm a big dick

Chapter 227 The birth of Zhu Xiaotou, and the expansion of the eagle gun (please ask for a monthly ticket)
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhu Youxiao reached out to take the silver dollar and watched it carefully.

On the front of the silver coin is the profile portrait of His Majesty the Emperor wearing a twelve-pronged crown, and on the portrait is the words "Da Ming Qi Three Years System" surrounded by a semicircle.

Well, it can't be as real as in the painting, but you can still see my youthful heroism, right?

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied except that he didn't have Yuan Yuan's big head and big head.Flipping over the back, he smiled.

Surrounding the silver coin are two dragons, which are vivid and majestic. The mouth of the dragon faces a round fire ball, which is in the shape of two dragons playing with a ball.

In the middle is a ring, inside the ring is the word "one tael".

Sun Yuanhua felt that time passed very slowly, so slow that he was full of confidence and was a little uneasy.

"Very good." Finally, the emperor's voice sounded, and Sun Yuanhua's heart fell to the ground at once, and he couldn't help but let out a light breath.

Zhu Youxiao put down another small silver coin. On the front was a staring dragon's head, and on the back was Jiahe holding a "middle circle (half tael)".This shape is relatively simple, but the pattern is also very clear and eye-catching.

The two sample coins have straight-tooth edges, which made Zhu Youxiao feel even more joyful, and said to Sun Yuanhua with a smile: "Casting and mechanism are mixed, I guessed right?"

"Long live wisdom, that's right." Sun Yuanhua bowed and said with a smug smile on his face.

Traditionally, casting money is operated at high temperature, that is, pouring Tao method.The mechanism suppression can be processed at room temperature, which has obvious advantages.

But at that time, it was impossible to adopt all the mechanisms to make coins.Although the Italians have invented a screw press to produce gold coins with complete patterns and texts for the Pope.

However, Sun Yuanhua and the missionaries have repeatedly studied and created a punching machine using animal power for cutting and hammering. This is already a huge technological progress and greatly improves efficiency.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao also knew that this kind of punching machine was not powerful enough, and the fine gold and silver were relatively soft, and the hard mold made of crucible steel could be used successfully.

But if you want to stamp steel, in addition to inventing the steam engine, you can only build dams to store water and build hydraulic stamping equipment.In terms of time and investment, Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait.

"Every progress is gratifying." Zhu Youxiao has been able to see the problem from the perspective of the people at that time, and can understand Sun Yuanhua's pride. "I believe that in the process of minting coins, we can still find shortcomings and continue to improve."

Reaching out to touch Sun Yuanhua, Zhu Youxiao said with a mocking smile: "Sun Qing has made a contribution again, and first go back and hurry up to mint coins, so that I can think about how to reward him."

Sun Yuanhua hastily bowed and left, feeling joyful and excited.

Don't look at the fact that the Holy Majesty didn't reward him right away, but the words of jokes are more valuable, which shows that the emperor's appreciation and trust are so great that he no longer treats him as an ordinary courtier.

In the hall, Zhu Youxiao took up the sample coin and looked around.

Then, he twitched his fingers lightly, blew hard, and immediately put it to his ear...

Your face is green, right?

Zhu Youxiao knew that the silver dollar could not be fake, and he also knew that he was not deaf.Looking at the silver dollar in his hand, he rolled his eyes and suddenly went up to take a bite.

Hey, let's bite "Zhu Xiaotou" out of his teeth!Sure enough, it is true, the fineness is very good, this method is so simple.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, but when he looked up, he saw Li Chengcheng standing at the gate of the palace with Maosha in his arms, his eyes were stunned, and his face was shocked.

Blinking and blinking, Zhu Youxiao threw the silver coin into the air, then took it with his left hand, clapped it with his right hand, and put the silver coin in his palm.

"Come here and guess heads and tails." The emperor commanded Li Chengcheng majestically, "If you guess wrong, you will be punished."

Oh?what!Li Chengcheng regretted that he came in at the wrong time, and also regretted that he was too obvious.

With her mouth slightly flattened, the girl rubbed against her pitifully.

……………….Divider……………….
Relying on Junmo's words to seal the affairs of the princes, one will succeed in a thousand bones.

Such is war, such is the world.Whether the general's name is left in history, or his military exploits are illustrious, it is all in exchange for the lives of thousands of soldiers.

The soldiers are so insignificant, fighting for the country and dying on the battlefield, most of them don't even leave their names.

Not only is it nameless, even food and clothing were once extravagant hopes, not to mention full salary and complete equipment.

But all of this has quietly changed this year.The most obvious feeling is the gradual growth from the refugee beggar army to the main force fighting against Jianshou, in the remote overseas Dongjiang Town.

Long spears, knives, shields, red fat jackets, this is the equipment of the Dongjiang Kaizhen Chengjun.For the beggar army, it was a timely help, but for the regular army, it was very shabby.

But the speed of upgrading was very fast. The armor was completed after a few months, the muskets were constantly equipped, and there were hundreds of large and small warships.

Now, before winter comes, cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded shoes, gloves, hoods, iron masks, and other supplies are being brought in continuously, and the generals don't have to worry about the difficulties of fighting in winter.

The efficient organization of the imperial court is one aspect, and more importantly, the emperor can think of the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line, and arrange them in advance.

The guarantee of logistics has enhanced the strength of the Dongjiang Army, and it has also benefited all ordinary soldiers.

Needless to say, if food and materials are in short supply, they are the ones who suffer the most.The treatment of officers and generals will always be better than them, and it has been the same since ancient times.

Zhang Xiaoxi puts on the hood, which is a felt pocket (northeast old man's cap) that exposes two eyes, which not only protects against the cold but also cushions the discomfort of the iron face.

Looking at the iron mask that had been painted in a mess, looking like a ghost and a treacherous official with a white face, Zhang Xiaoxi was very satisfied.

Putting the iron mask on his face, and tightening the rope behind his head, Zhang Xiaoxi turned his head and looked around.Although his line of sight was slightly obstructed, he felt that he must be mighty and scary.

hum, hum!If they fight Jiannu again, they should be the ones who scare the pee, right?
Zhang Xiaoxi's eyes widened and he made a vicious look.Although covered by an iron mask, others cannot see it.

Bang, was knocked on the head, Zhang Xiaoxi hurriedly turned his head, and hurriedly took off the iron mask and hood, saluted with a lost smile and called: "Sir."

Feng Datie nodded, and said: "Put it away after you try it, and let the craftsman fix it if it doesn't fit. It's not needed now, so don't lose it."

The majesty of the chief is already there, not by military uniforms and titles.It was the dark red scar on his face, like a shining medal, who would dare not respect it in the army.

"Yes, I'll put the little one away." Zhang Xiaoxi responded respectfully.

Feng Datie sized up the young man, seemed satisfied with his much stronger body, and said, "The imperial court brought another batch of eagle blunderbuss to our army. Although you were not selected for training before, but this time you want to Don't want to try?"

"Think!" Zhang Xiaoxi didn't hesitate at all, his face showed joy, he really liked that mighty guy from the bottom of his heart.

Feng Datie smiled, and said: "I heard that the eagle gun has been improved this time, and the physical requirements for soldiers have been lowered. Maybe, you can really be selected."

Zhang Xiaoxi grinned and said with a smile: "That's for sure, I've been practicing very hard lately—" He said, he bent his arms and showed the officer, "Look, officer, this lump is bulging. "

Feng Datie stretched out his hand and patted it, nodded and said: "Well, not bad, he is a strong young man, and he will perform well tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Feng Datie didn't talk nonsense, turned around and left.

Watching the officer leave, Zhang Xiaoxi blinked, and fell to the ground to do push-ups.

Hey, hey, the eagle gun belongs to me, and with one shot, Jiannu's flesh and blood flew all over the place!
