Volume 12 Total War Chapter 887 Three hundred muskets(1/2)
It's so suffocating, so suffocating!
Hu You patted his head, why has it been so unhappy during this period?
Is that true?
When God closes one door for you, he will also open another window for you. Similarly, when God opens another door for you, he will also close your window for you.
The discovery of the musket was the door that God opened for Hu You, and now he is closing the window.
But this window is closed a little too much.
Hu You cursed in his heart, it was really hard to live this life.
Anrong and Greentown are all out of reach. Even if you want to manage, you have no way to manage it. The most taboo thing about being outside is remote control command. Hu You knows this. The news on both sides is serious ambiguous, and there are more problems of blind command.
No matter what, nothing to care about.
Hu You made a decision in his heart. Ximen Yufeng, Ouyang Hanbing, Qin Ming, Hou San, and Ou Yueyue are all generals whose names are available in the city. They will have their own solutions to solve the difficulties they encounter.
After comforting himself for a while, Hu You's mood improved a lot. The moon outside the window was good, so he planned to go out for a walk.
Um?
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yaya leaning out from afar. Her cute look made Hu You feel funny.
"Yaya, come here." Hu You waved to Yaya and stood there waiting.
Yaya still wants to hide, but now she sees that she has no way to hide, so she walks over reluctantly.
"What are you doing there?" Hu Youban looked up. You can't give her a good face to this girl, otherwise she will be on her nose and then she will be afraid of her.
"No." Yaya shook her head and secretly glanced at Hu You, trying to see something from his face.
"I've said no, I've seen it all." Hu You glared at Yaya. In fact, he didn't see anything. This is just a trick of Yaya.
Yaya was cheated by Hu You and almost let it go. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, so she was not fooled by Hu You: "Uh, Daddy, what did you see?"
"What do you think I should see?" Hu You finally couldn't help laughing. He was really not used to talking to Yaya in such a tone.
"Okay, Daddy, you bullied her again." Yaya was so angry. He thought Hu You were angry just now, and it turned out that they were just teasing her.
"Hahaha, our Yaya is so cute, it wouldn't be a pity if she doesn't tease her." Hu You laughed proudly. No matter when she was with Yaya, he could make him very happy.
"Damn Daddy." Yaya rolled her eyes fiercely, and she couldn't help but giggle.
The father and daughter laughed and joking in the yard for a while, then they stopped in the cold. This kind of family happiness could not be bought back by money.
"Dad, are you okay?" Yaya asked Hu You like a little adult.
"Is there something wrong? What can I do?" Hu Youqi said. He didn't think there was any problem with Yaya's performance. Yaya has shown her old age since she was a child, and Hu You have long been used to it.
Yaya glanced at Hu You deeply and said, "I have read the battle report between Greentown and Anrong."
"Are you worried about me?" Hu You could guess what Yaya said later after hearing the topic.
If another father is asked by his children, he will definitely get angry. When will it be the little girl's turn to take care of adult affairs? However, Hu You is not an ordinary father. He is very open-minded. Not only will he not get angry about such things, but he is happy. Because this master Ming Yaya is really sensible and will think about problems by herself and care about others.
Ya nodded, she was ready to be scolded by Hu You.
"Silly girl."
Hu You's reaction made Yaya feel a little surprised. He gently hugged Yaya into his arms and didn't speak for a long time.
Hu You's xiong was very generous, and it was really comfortable to hold him like this. When Hu You was hugging him like this, Yaya knew that Hu You had made a decision in her heart, and no matter whether it was good or bad, she didn't need to worry about anything.
Langtian City, a thousand-year-old ancient city, was once very glorious, but later it was not even guaranteed to be the imperial capital. In Hu You's hands, it once again became the focus of everyone.
But at this point, life is not very good. The army of the Three Kingdoms outside the city has not yet retreated, and the people in the city have begun to lack food again.
Food is the most important thing for people. People can have nothing, but they cannot have nothing to eat. Food is the minimum guarantee of survival, and no one knows what the people will do for food.
The Immortal Legion was also in a situation of food shortage. They were not short of food. Huang Jinfeng had already reserved a large amount of food for the army before the war. However, in order to calm the hearts of the people, Hongye asked Huang Jinfeng to allocate a large amount of food for the people. Wu Xuewen took this opportunity to secretly increase the number, which made the Immortal Legion fall into a situation of no food.
"I didn't expect that Wu Xuewen also learned this trick. Is this considered a gift before parting?" Hu You put down the thick document in his hand and smiled furiously.
Hongye, Huang Jinfeng, Chen Dali and others sat quietly, waiting for Hu You to take this plan.
"How many days can we hold our food?" After a long time, Hu You looked up and asked Huang Jinfeng.
"Save a little bit, you can eat for twenty days." Huang Jinfeng replied.
"What if I don't care?" Hu You asked again. He knew that the savings in the mouth of Golden Phoenix was not about saving one or two taels of food for a meal, but about savings. He changed the rice to porridge and wild vegetables.
"That's five days." Golden Wind dared not hide it from Hu You. This is a matter of life and death of nearly hundreds of thousands of troops and over ten million ordinary people.
No joke.
"Five days." Hu You frowned and said, "Five days are a bit short, ten days. Make sure that the soldiers have enough food to eat!"
"My husband, do you have a way?" Huang Jinfeng couldn't help asking. Hongye and others also looked at Hu You.
Hu You shook his head and said, "It's just a plan, it's not a solution."
The dark clouds blocked the sun, and the water vapor in the air increased significantly, and a heavy rain was coming.
"It's going to rain." Yaya suddenly smiled.
"What?" Hu You was thinking about his thoughts and didn't hear Yaya's words.
"I said it's going to rain, Dad, what are you thinking?" Yaya said pouting.
"I was wondering if I was too harsh on Weiwei just now." Hu You shook his head and said. Just now, he gave Weiwei a new task. Yaya must produce 300 muskets that can be fired within five days.
Muskets are new weapons that have just been developed from technology to molds. It is indeed a difficult task for Weiwei to produce 300 brand new and sounding muskets within five days.
"It's a bit harsh, but we have no time left." Yaya replied seriously: "Five days are already the limit."
"You know again." Hu You glared at Yaya with annoyance. This ghost spirit seemed to be unable to hide anything from her.
"Of course.
"Yaya giggled proudly.
Yaya is right, Hu You no longer has time. The food in Langtian City can be enough to last ten days, and if Weiwei is given five days, Hu You will only have five days left. Muskets are brand new weapons. They do not catch them like swords and guns and can cut people. To form combat power, Hu You must do a lot of things, such as teaching soldiers how to shoot and how to set up gun formations.
The deterrent power of three hundred guns is far greater than the real power. There are hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city. To put it bluntly, even if the enemy stands there and does not move, you can fire one-point shot until your musket is scrapped.
Hu You must plan well... How to use these limited number of new weapons to scare Lin Zhengfeng and his men's troops away. It is impossible to kill them, so they can only scare them.
"Young Marshal, everyone you want is ready." Zhebe reported to Hu You. Hu You ordered it to find five hundred most loyal and best soldiers. Compared to Weiwei's mission, Zhebe is not difficult to find Zhebe. In terms of loyalty and good skills, it is naturally the soldiers of the personal guard camp. Hu You want five hundred people, Zhebe can find them just by turning around.
"Um."
Hu You and Zhebo came to the backyard, and all the five hundred soldiers in the guard camp were in place. Seeing that the soldiers were full of energy, Hu You's spirit also rose.
The soldiers in the personal guard camp could see Hu You almost every day, but they still felt that Hu You was mysterious.
In front of Hu You, no one dared to move casually, and they all straightened their waists.
"Brothers!" Hu You used to call him soldiers.
"Wow!" Five hundred soldiers from the personal guard camp gave Hu You a neat military salute.
"After a moment." Hu You waved his hand and slowly swept over the soldiers' resolute faces, and said, "It has been ten years since the establishment of the Immortal Legion. I believe you all know it without me.
However, history is history after all, it can only represent the past and has no meaning to the future.
Today, I'm here to take you to create a better future." Hu You said here, paused for a moment, and continued: "The future is bright, the road is always tortuous. The future is beautiful, but it is also destined not everyone can see it. In the process of creating the future here, someone will definitely fall down. This person, maybe you, maybe me, and more likely we all fall down, and there is no bright future with me!"
... Someone said: Hu You, aren't you discouraged? Why do you say this? "This is not discouraged. You are my brothers. Many brothers have been a member of the legion since the first day of the establishment of the Immortal Bird Legion. For more than ten years, we have worked diligently and bloodyly to this day. Our blood has long been integrated. I don't want to deceive any brother. The road ahead is really difficult to walk. I still say the same thing. Those who don't want to walk this road can stand up. I am not a god and cannot decide the commands of others. The road is at your own feet. How to walk depends on your choice!" Hu You originally wanted to say a few words casually, but he didn't expect that he could not stop the car as soon as he opened his mouth, and all the words were poured out.
This is the sequelae of Wu Xuewen's betrayal.
Hu You was nothing on the surface when Wu Xuewen's sudden betrayal, but in his heart, he was still buried very deeply.
Brothers who have been with him for more than ten years can be said to betray him, so who else can believe it? Last night, Hu You woke up by a nightmare. He dreamed of Hongye, and Ximen Yufeng, whether it was his wife or friend, left him. Everything turned empty in a blink of an eye!
"Young Marshal, let's do it with you!" "No matter what it is, even if it's dead!"
"Yes, so what if you die!" This task made Weiwei busy immediately after Hu You left. Five days was not that much, and she had to seize every second.
"Miss Weiwei has hundreds of muskets, our raw materials are not enough." The male assistant said to Weiwei. When Hu You ordered, he wanted to jump out and say no, but Weiwei stopped him with his eyes. Now he couldn't help it. If he didn't say it out, he felt uncomfortable.
Weiweihao said unconventionally: "No matter what difficulties it is, they must be overcome.
Five days later, three hundred muskets must be handed over to the young marshal. "Although Weiwei is usually soft and weak, she will never be too rough when it comes to Hu You's problems.
What else did the male assistant want to say, but was pulled away by the female assistant.
"What are you trying to do to me? You can't do anything!" the male assistant said angrily.
The female assistant replied: "Ms. Weiwei has already said that you must complete the task. If you have the time to speak, it is better to do more things!" "But without the raw materials, how to do it!"
The raw material mentioned by the male assistant is not ordinary gold, silver, copper and iron, but a special material used for processing gun chambers.
This is not the prototype material of the three muskets that Hu You took back, but the alternative material found by Weiwei. By analyzing the reasons for the failure of the first batch of concubines' test guns, Weiwei knew that there was a problem in the opening material of the gun chamber.
The gun chamber is the most critical component of the entire musket. It not only needs to compress the turtle oil, but also needs to withstand the high temperature and high pressure at the moment the turtle oil is ignited. The fifth batch of five muskets, including the No. 5 gun that was successfully tested, all the gun chambers were penetrated.
It was precisely because of this reason that in the second batch of test guns, Weiwei used the high temperature and high pressure-resistant Xintien that she could find as the raw material for the gun chamber, and it was indeed a huge success. Three of the five guns achieved the expected results, and the reason why the other two failed was no longer a problem with the gun chamber.
It can be said that Weiwei used Xintien to solve the big problem, but the same problem appeared in front of Weiwei. That is, there were too few Xintien. If Hu You had to do fifty or sixty, Weiwei could barely use up the inventory and meet Hu You's requirements. But if 300 Xintien requires too many Xintien, where can I find so many? This is why the male assistant is confused.
Of course, Weiwei knew that Xintieng was not enough, but the moment Hu You ordered, she had already made a decision in her heart to demolish the Langtian Zangjin Tower.
