A storm last night seemed to sweep away the dust in the air. When I woke up in the morning, I suddenly felt that the temperature was much lower. Many people had taken off their clothes and put on their jackets. When Eunuch Le reminded me, Qin Feng remembered that this year was already the beginning of winter.

The first snow this year will not take long to come. At that time, the world will be covered with silver again, with thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow. It sounds like a beautiful and spectacular scene, but it is really not a wonderful thing to implement in real life.

For literati and poets, snow can naturally be a kind of accompaniment to hold a warm stove, hold a wine glass, pour and drink on oneself, and splash ink to write wonderful poetry and articles. But for ordinary people, winter is really hard to bear.

Baoqing Port is a gift from God to the Ming Dynasty. It is a non-freeze port. This is really an anomaly in the north that is frozen thousands of miles away.

Eunuch Le prepared breakfast for Qin Feng. Looking at the crystal clear food in the bowl, Qin Feng was overjoyed: "It turned out to be Pueraria root powder. This is a good thing. When I was still fighting in the Luoying Mountains, if I stopped food in the mountains, I could find this thing. It was a very beautiful thing. I heard that it had the effect of medicine."

Eunuch Le smiled and said that he had been with Qin Feng for a long time. He can now say that he is quite clear about Qin Feng's habits. From the title, he can clearly distinguish Qin Feng's closeness to people. For ordinary ministers, Qin Feng calls himself me, and only for people close to him can Qin Feng call himself me.

It took about two years for the emperor to make the emperor's claim to be from me in front of him. When Qin Feng first called himself me in front of him, he was so happy that he didn't fall asleep all night. The next day, he was still excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Your Majesty, it's the gill powder. After Your Majesty rested last night, I took a few people up the mountain to find it. This is the freshest kudzu root. Pueraria root is the best to pick when the beginning of winter. As Your Majesty said, it not only makes it hungry, but also clears blood vessels. It is a rare ingredient!"

"I dug it overnight last night?" Qin Feng was surprised. "It rained a lot last night. Why did you go up the mountain? I have to make it into kudzu powder after digging it. Have you not slept overnight?"

"No sleeping overnight is nothing for me. As long as your Majesty can eat this fresh cherry powder, it is worth it." Eunuch Le smiled and pushed a few small dishes in front of Qin Feng: "Your Majesty, these are some freshly picked wild vegetables. There are not many sparse vegetables in the season now, but as long as you are careful, you can still find some. I know that Your Majesty is good at this bite, so I picked some back. Will your Majesty taste it? Is it still suitable for the taste?"

"I'm determined." Qin Feng said: "Mr. Le, just leave these things to the guards in the future. You are not young anymore, so you don't have to work so hard."

"Your Majesty, this is the matter of a slave. How can it be said to be hard work!" Eunuch Le said justice: "If you change it to someone else, you won't feel at ease!"

Qin Feng smiled and stopped talking about this issue. Everyone has their own responsibilities. If he is forced to do these things, Eunuch Le will probably not be happy.

Just after breakfast, Zhou Li pinched the spot and asked for a visit outside. Seeing that Zhou Li's eyes were covered with bloodshot and there was a dark circle outside, he knew that the fierce-looking one-eyed dragon general had not slept all night last night.

"Your Majesty, this is the plan that I will make last night." He bowed and presented a stack of manuscripts with both hands.

After turning on the manuscript, Qin Feng looked at a few pages and was surprised to find that the fleet's route to sea, attack areas, etc. were marked clearly on a sea chart. Even the pirates were rampant in this area. Where their nests were and who the leader was, they were actually clear.

He was puzzled, but Qin Feng did not show anything in front of Zhou Li.

"General Zhou is here just in time. Today I will take you to see some fun things." Qin Feng smiled and put down the copy, without affirmation or denial.

"Yes, your Majesty."

Following Qin Feng out of the house, the cold wind outside made everyone shudder and people suddenly became much more energetic. Looking at the two warships in the dock and harbor, countless soldiers were busy, Qin Feng couldn't help but wonder.

"What are they doing?"

"Your Majesty, they are cleaning the ships!" Zhou Li explained: "Cleaning the ship every day is just a task that the sailors must complete, otherwise the life of the ship will be shortened. Moreover, this also makes the soldiers care for their warships more, and of course, it also makes the soldiers feel more belonging and more united and cooperative."

"Yeah, it's not bad." Qin Feng nodded.

The weather was already very cold, but the soldiers on the warship were barefoot and naked, and were working hard.

Qin Feng took Zhou Li and went straight to the military camp of the Fire Death Camp. Wherever Mahou had already prepared everything. The two craftsmen from Taiping City, the shipyard manager Yu Cong, and a group of shipbuilders were also waiting early.

Seeing Qin Feng appear, the people at the scene immediately became much shorter and fell to the ground.

"Everyone gets up." Qin Feng waved his hand with a smile, "Little monkey, are you all ready?"

"Your Majesty, you have all arranged it." Mahou pointed at a dozens of steps in a radius of fences. Inside, there were hundreds of chickens clattering inside. "It just so happened that the head of the countryman was generous. Today, I gave the brothers extra lunch. I brought these chickens to General Zhou and showed them."

"What's the use of showing me these chickens?" Zhou Li was puzzled.

The two craftsmen from Taiping City Arsenal laughed, "General Zhou, we don't let you see these chickens, but we let you see a new crossbow machine that is the latest equipment of our Ming Dynasty."

"New crossbow machine?" Zhou Li asked.

"Yes, the new crossbow machine, this time it was used for the first time in the alignment combat, and the effect was excellent. Of course, it was not just the new crossbow machine, but also another weapon. I was thinking about whether it could be installed on the warship, so I brought two masters to think about this matter with the masters of the shipyard. Mahou, let's start!" Qin Feng said.

Mahou nodded, waved his hand, and the two soldiers walked to the side, reached out to uncover a piece of felt cloth on the side, and two crossbow machines appeared in front of Zhou Li.

Qin Feng walked to the crossbow machine, reached out to pull the crossbow machine, and the main body of the crossbow machine installed on the base turned around in a circle, "General Zhou, how about it?"

"It's so light and can be shot around without dead corners. This is a good thing!" Zhou Li's eyes lit up immediately.

"There are some more eye-catching things!" Qin Feng laughed loudly, "Mahou, give our General Zhou a performance."

"Okay!" Mahou smiled smugly. Aside, two soldiers stood on each crossbow machine. One held the back seat of the crossbow machine, and the other knelt on the ground on one knee, with a huge iron box in front of him, holding a box containing crossbow arrows in his hand.

"Start!" Mahou ordered loudly.

The soldiers holding the back seat of the crossbow machine tightened their hands slightly, and the sound of linoleum kept ringing. Short crossbow arrows gushed out and shot at the flock of chickens walking in the fence. They immediately shot down one by one. The flock of chickens was frightened and immediately jumped and ran around the fence. The soldiers holding the crossbow machine swung the crossbow machine and kept chasing the chickens.

After shooting a casket, the soldier half-kneeled on the ground pulled the casket on the crossbow with one hand. With a snap, the new casket was installed again. The crossbow that had paused for a moment roared again.

Not long after, there was no more live chicken in the fence and they all lay down on the ground.

Zhou Li was also stunned and widened his eyes, "Your Majesty, if this kind of crossbow is installed on a warship, if a battle between the enemy and us occurs, the moment the ships on both sides approach, this will be a ruthless massacre!"

"Of course!" Qin Feng laughed, "Let you see our new ranged weapon, Thunderbolt Fire!"

Everyone walked to a cliff where a black house was standing quietly. On the roof, black smoke rose. On the sea above the cliff, there were more than a dozen wooden rafts.

"I originally wanted to put a few boats where I was, but our Master Yu couldn't bear to leave, so he made more than a dozen wooden rafts to get in. Mahou, are you ready to shoot?" Qin Feng asked.

Mahou scratched his head: "Your Majesty, the thunder fire is used to attack enemy positions or city walls. It is really a bit smaller, and I'm really not sure."

"Try it, today is to give it a try. As for whether it can be loaded on the ship and whether it can be accurately fought after loading on the ship, that is the matter between the craftsman and Zhou Li." Qin Feng waved his hand.

"Is this a throwing weapon?" Zhou Li looked up and down at the black house.

"Yes." Qin Feng nodded.

"Let's try the cold bomb first!" Ma Hou walked to the black house and whispered a few instructions.

Eight vertical throwing arms slowly lay flattened their bodies, and black projectiles rolled out of the black house and fell into the spoon in front of the throwing arms. With a sound, the eight throwing arms fired one after another, falling down to more than a dozen wooden rafts above the sea below the cliff. With the loud bang, huge waves were splashed, and an iron bullet hit, while the others fell into the sea. But this one also made a wooden raft hit into pieces.

"Adjust the shooting angle and prepare for a salvo!" A loud shout came from the black house. Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with the first hit rate.

This time, eight throwing arms were raised at the same time and three hits.

"It's already very good!" Zhou Li was stunned and couldn't help but murmur.

"General Zhou, let you see the hot bullet again!" Ma Hou said with a smile. "Change the hot bullet."

Before Zhou Li could understand what a hot bullet was, eight red iron balls were added to the spoon with eight arms throwing arms, and the scene was immediately hot.
Chapter completed!
