Chapter 66 Matchmaker
This gun is not scientific.
Chen Mu made a temporary decision on the battlefield and recorded his thoughts of a flash of inspiration. He expected that the total weight of the gun would reach 16 or kilograms, and the length of the gun was only the advantage of facing a short spear and a waist knife. Compared with a large spear that was two or three meters long, it was still limited in power.
Unless the firepower changes qualitatively and can directly defeat the enemy's morale during shooting, it will be difficult to win even if the opponent's Spanish formation is like.
It can only be used as a supplementary firepower and can be used for guarding.
The main thing is a waste. Good steel should be used to make more guns that long. If only the section exposed the gun is used, one can be used to make two two-foot guns.
But there is a lot to do with the grenade.
Paper shells of marijuana thunder are wrapped in prefabricated chipped iron shells. What China has the most is sulfur-containing pig iron, which is affordable and guarantees crispy when fried.
"Qianhu, this is much more useful!" Guan Yuangu looked at Chen Mu's design and structure. It seemed that he was not very satisfied with the spoiled steel-mouthed gun, and said, "Look it out, it's similar to Fei Zhentian Thunder."
Thunder flying?
Chen Mu asked, "What is that?"
He stopped Guan Yuangu, paused and stuttered, "I have never seen this before. I only heard that it was made by a blacksmith named Li Changsun in the early days of the Japanese riot. Leili held a triangle of iron, lit the lead and stuffed it into the cannon, and quickly shot it out, landing and blooming and hurting people."
Talented.
Ancient craftsmen were indeed talented.
He has seen rocket prototypes running together, and he has also seen firearm prototypes. Now he knows that there are still flower bullets in this era... although it sounds relatively low in safety and power.
It's great enough in this era.
"There is another thing, everything else is easy to make, but this one is not very easy to make." Chen Mu turned another page, and the iron shell was drawn on it and explained to Guan Yuangu: "A round cake with good iron under it, and scrap iron is used on it. Cut patterns are also cast. The key is this small iron pipe that bears load."
The Ming Dynasty had mines that ignite the leads, but the battlefield was too restricted; steel wheel ignition structures appeared more than 200 years ago. Unfortunately, Guan Jiang was not a serious military weapon craftsman, and they were not easy to build a used steel wheel ignition mechanism.
"The pole is supported by three-section bent scrap iron sheets, and the iron is pressed down. The load-bearing rod is connected with flint at the bottom. When the support is stepped on, the flint breaks. The flint hits the iron and gets angry." Chen Mu said more and more vigorously, and said with a smile: "You can also try a chain of thunder. I didn't think about the structure. I stepped on the last mine and find a way to blow up the thunder buried in front. It will definitely be very useful to deal with the marching enemy in a narrow area!"
After talking about the idea of a new weapon, Chen Mu directly dealt with the meal in Guan Yuangu's Tiefang. He was the only one at home, and it would be the same wherever he was.
During the meal, Guan Yuangu smiled embarrassedly and told Chen Mu that where the matchmaker came from. He said that the rich businessman in Kinki, Guangcheng was about to marry a girl at home. "Why don't you consider the thousand households and get married as soon as possible?"
Many times.
Too many times.
In the past, no one recognized him in Qingyuanwei, not to mention that he was a low-ranking military household who died or no one cared about it. But it was different when it arrived in Xiangshan. The young Qianmen of the fifth-rank Xiangshan, who fought against the French and collected the Haojing, made successive contributions, and did not need to inform him in advance when he entered the Governor's Office - even the blind man could see that his future was promising.
Chen Mu smiled and said, "Thanks to others who can't find me, you have to suffer for me."
He was not at all opposed to matchmakers or even blind dates. To be honest, every time he went to the battle, he had to put his head on his waist. Who wouldn't want a person beside him who knew the cold and hot pillows to watch him go to the battle at the door?
Others were busy saying goodbye to their family members, and the bastard Fu Yuan and Li Dan’s mother were waiting, only him and the Bachelor.
The Eighth Master hugged the old dog, and he walked the big goose, even if he completed the solemn farewell ceremony and stepped onto the battlefield.
Who can feel good about this?
He rejected blind dates and refused to meet.
Chen Mu also thought that those old worldly rituals do not need to be cared for, but even if he is so awesome, those things are there, and he must not ignore them or watch them.
Marriage is a major event and is far more important than later generations.
Marrying the daughter of ordinary people means accepting complex market relations; marrying the daughter of merchants and heroes means receiving financial support and political support; marrying the daughter of officials also means attacking and defending each other in the officialdom.
Even like the past military general Mo Chaoyu, he married the daughter of the local chieftain when he formed a militia. When the chieftain died, he took over the position of the local Qiancheng, thus laying the foundation for his actions among the seven zodiac Zhuangyao.
Guan Yuangu smiled and said, "The old man knows what Qianjia thinks. It's better not to marry a wife or take a concubine first. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to buy two maids to serve them in the room. It's better than being alone, right?"
Chen Mu shook his head and waved his hand and smiled, "Let's talk about it later. A matchmaker found Guan Jiang here and helped me block it... I once had a great enemy, so where can I take care of these things?"
"Building a few more cannons is much more important than taking a concubine."
The alarm on the coast of Guangdong has never stopped after the Battle of Guanghai. He once looked like a loach that was slippery, Qiongzhou, Leizhou, Chaozhou, Xiangshan, and Guanghai garrisons, all of him were his targets, and he harassed the coastal areas almost in a few months.
Chen Mu silently met Bai Yuanjie and Deng Zilong in the Qianhu Yamen to plan Zeng Yiben's attack trend.
Compared to the Bing, whether it is Bai Yuanjie, who has a background in his childhood or Deng Zilong, who has been born in martial arts, he is strategically better than Chen Mu.
Qianhu Yamen is like a small staff department, with a map of Guangzhou coastal map, including Xiangshan, Xin'an County and the Lingdingyang in the middle of the Pearl River Estuary. Iron nails are inserted with small wooden signs on the cloth map, and several generals talk about Zeng Yiben's defense.
Temple calculation.
"I was once very aggressive, 80% hidden in overseas islands, and I would attack Guangcheng in the summer." Bai Yuanjie said firmly, "He has attacked Guangcheng for only a few months."
Especially at the turn of autumn and summer, you may rush into the Lingdingyang with the wind and leave with the wind when the sea breeze changes, and it is most likely to break through the sea defense.
"In April and May, the Yishang of Xiangshan will come by boat, and they don't expect them to follow and attack. As long as they can defend Haojing, they will be enough to free up their hands to deal with Zeng Yiben." Chen Mu said this. Zeng Yiben's biggest threat to him came from the sea, and Land War was not worried. "If Zeng San Lao dared to land in Xiangshan, no matter how many thousands of people came, Xiangshan would be able to eat, I'm afraid he would directly attack Guangcheng."
Chen Mu, a merchant of Haojing Yi, understood that even if there was an agreement to assist in defense, they would give them rewards. If the war occurred in Haojing, they would fight enthusiastically, but if the war occurred in other places, they would not help fighting.
Deng Zilong smiled, stood up and slapped his palm on the map, and said, "Then there is nothing to worry about. Zeng Yiben could not cross Xiangshan and directly attack Guangzhou City, unless Xinjian... Qianhu, can Xinan defend against it?"
Chen Mu's smile that was sure to win was frozen on his face, yes!
Chapter completed!
