Chapter 976 Pioneering and Enterprising

La Shuang is as fast as Sun Wuzi's fiery eyes and golden eyes staring at me, imitating it, and rushing me to pieces. How can I not agree? We don't have the spirit of picking up more than ten veterans one by one.

"Of course, please stand up and push the cannon forward!" I was very excited and gave the order. Soon, the cannon opened the rainproof cloth and revealed its shiny cannon body. Well, it did make improvements. First, two holes were drilled at the muzzle and put a brim-like thing on it to prevent rainwater from dripping into the cannon barrel. In addition, the original point lead on the right was also covered by such a rain cover.

When the cannon was pushed out of the cannon by the people, the artillery began to get busy. First, they opened the tail of the cannon, filled the shells and held the tablets, and then filled the hairpin bag wrapped in oil paper, then pulled out the lead wire from the medicine bag, then covered the tail of the cannon again, and then added several large steel rings to prevent the energy from overflowing from here when the cannon was fired, causing an accident.

It was amazing to see that these military officials were all aware of it. In fact, this kind of rear-loading gun had been developed in the Firearms Bureau. In order to ensure the quality of the gun, the copper-core iron tire material was still used for production. The rear part of the gun was thickened. The tail fire door of the gun was even more indirect, avoiding the embarrassment of the shell falling out of the barrel as soon as people let go, so that people no longer need to adjust the height of the muzzle to fill in the launching medicine and other substances, and then they also need to recalibrate the firing distance, which is a time-consuming and wasteful fighter jet.

After calibrating the target, accompanied by the cannon leader's command, the gunner turned the flintlock device, and then he saw a lightning spark flashing near the tail of the cannon in the rain. Then he felt his ears suddenly lose their ability to listen. Then there was a violent roar, and a blazing fire light spewed out of the muzzle. Then a harsh roar broke through the barrier of the rain barrier and headed towards the distance. Soon after, a distant roar was heard. If it was hidden in the clouds, it was like thunder.

------------------------------------------------

Continue. Three consecutive shells were loading and firing in the rain, and they didn't even hit the umbrella. Fortunately, it was summer now, and although the rain felt cold when hitting people, it didn't feel like the bone-breathing autumn rain. After a while, take a hot bath and drink a large bowl of thick ginger water, it can drive away the cold air around the body. In addition, these soldiers have to train in the wild almost every two months, and that kind of sin is even more uncomfortable. Now, for them, it's just a pediatrician.

Back at the Firearms Bureau, in the big house, a group of old generals squatted together, all looking at the objects in their hands curiously. Uncle Li Jing even picked up a flintlock device and kept setting fire there, while marveling: "Why didn't I think of combining this flint with a fire sickle together, but it was much lighter."

Uncle Li also touched this and tinkered with joy. It was obvious that none of them were unhappy. After all, the Southern Army of the Tang Dynasty had reported many problems with the unsatisfactory use of firearms in the changing rainy south. The emergence of these things was equivalent to solving the current worries.

"Okay, they are all good things. What do you think?" Uncle Li was happy and finally remembered the important matter and said to the old generals who were whispering around him. "Your Majesty, I think that the firearms used in the south of our Tang Dynasty have been transformed. I think that it has been only a few months since the battle with Tianzhu. If those firearms could be improved one day earlier, then my soldiers in the Tang Dynasty would suffer less casualties." On the side, Li Daozong continued to pull out a flintlock device like a lighter, and did not forget to speak to Uncle Li.

The proposal of Li Daozong, a famous royal general, was recognized by all the veteran generals present. After all, the complex climate in the south was the most trouble for everyone. With this device, at least the elites of the Tang Dynasty could expand their results more smoothly. In addition, the use of firearms, in the eyes of those southern barbarians, was probably even more deterrent than that of Uncle Li in his personal expedition.

Soon, Uncle Li made a decision and ordered the Wushu Institute to make flintlock equipment that supplies bamboo-wood grenades and artillery transformations used by the elite elites of the Tang Dynasty in the shortest time. Of course, landmines are indispensable. At the same time, Uncle Li also cordially condolences to the craftsmen who made these devices and expressed their gratitude to them for the reforms made by the Tang Dynasty's military industry. Of course, generous rewards are inevitable.

After solving the major incident here, I was finally able to go back to Weinan with Li Zhi. In the government office, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Lu Chen sitting on the low couch and dazed at the water cup in front of me. "Hehe, what's wrong with Zigui? Is there any problem?" I strode forward, sat on the low couch, took the tea that Lu Chen poured for me and took a sip.

“The student decided,

Master, the ancestor named Song, you mentioned, became a forensic doctor." Tian, ​​gritted his teeth and finally said the purpose, which made me stunned: "You, Zigui, are you sure you are not kidding me?" Today, it has been several days since I talked with Lu Chen that day. Originally, I thought Lu Chen was just a passionate young man, and he had only three minutes of enthusiasm for doing things. Since it exceeded the five-day limit I gave him, I think this guy probably forgot his original request, but I didn't expect that now he stood in front of me and said such a thing.

Seeing that I was stunned, Lu Chen quickly explained that his sisters opposed him to be forensic doctors. After all, as far as the current Tang Dynasty is concerned, although doctors are not a low-key career, they are not as good as those who are studying in the imperial examinations. In addition, they have a lot of wealth at home, so why bother suffering and deal with the stubbornness?

"... So today, my disciple persuaded several sisters to come to the master and please allow me to give you the invitation a few days ago." Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had indeed spent a lot of effort these days.

Seeing his firm face, I nodded deeply: "Okay, I promise you, don't worry, as a teacher, I will never lose your fault." I picked up a piece of paper on the table, quickly wrote a letter, and after folding it, handed it to Lu Chen.

"You will finish your work first, then you go to Chang'an, Qingyang Temple, and tell the Taoist priests there, and you will say that it was your master who asked you to go. You will go to find Taoist Yuan Tiangang, Yuan and Taoist Master Sun Simiao. Then you can hand over this letter and this "Case Review Manual" to any of them. At that time, you will be able to learn medical skills from these two most famous geniuses in the Tang Dynasty. Remember, only by putting a hundred times the effort will the road to success will appear in front of you. I will only give you a year. If you can get the approval of these two Taoist priests in a year, then, the teacher will make you a forensic doctor in Weinan County. I hope you will not let down the high hopes of being a teacher."

------------------------------------------------

In early summer, news came from Jiangnan Road that 30,000 workers had arrived in Luzon Island. In addition, on Luzon Island, seven copper mines, two gold mines, one silver mountain, and four iron ores. These are all rich ores of very good quality. According to the conservative estimates of the intelligence personnel of the exploration deposits that were rumored to be mined, if all the minerals found so far can be mined, the monthly output can reach 500,000 jin, 400,000 jin of iron, 5,000 jin of gold, and 3,000 jin of silver.

Uncle Li almost got crazy. Well, this is far beyond Uncle Li’s original expectations, and at least it exceeds my conservative estimate. You are the one who is the first to be a banana. No wonder why the Western wild monkeys in later generations stubbornly occupied the territory of South Asia, because these places are not only rich in resources, but more importantly, the mineral reserves are very huge.

In addition, they stayed on the island of Luzon for nearly a year, but only found a few savage tribes with bare butts covered with grass leaves and tree bark. These savages were not friendly, so the Tang soldiers who accompanied them naturally reacted instinctively. However, they all mercifully did not strangle all of these savages, leaving behind some strong laborers, and prepared to make their due contributions to the mining industry of the Tang Dynasty as well as hard work.

In addition, the construction of the large permanent dock on Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places has been completed. In addition, Quanzhou has expanded a shipyard that can build ten giant sea ships at the same time. With the efforts of craftsmen, it has been able to make a sea ship that is several meters long compared to the original Tang Dynasty's largest warship tower. In other words, the length can reach more than 70 meters, and the load capacity will naturally increase, because my elder brother also followed my advice. With an incentive mechanism, the ship workers worked hard to innovate and transform the ship's craftsmanship. At the same time, Uncle Li also recruited more than two-thirds of the entire Tang Dynasty's ship craftsmanship to concentrate on it. It can be imagined that Uncle Li's ambition to develop the South Asian islands is strong.
