Chapter 118: The Baddle of the Tianque Gun

"Is this true?" He Zhaoyi asked.

Well, it seems that this young lady will really wait for her to play with her on Double Ninth Festival. It would be a day to hide, and then I will find an excuse.

With the coarse salt of the eldest son of the He family, for a long time in the future, there is no need to worry about the business of purifying the coarse salt in the base. What Zhang Yang cares most about now is how the manufacturing of the Tianque gun is going? Did Mr. Liu recruit people?

"Young Master Zhang, Young Master Zhang." He Zhaoren shouted.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhang Yang thought about it just now, but he didn't know that He Zhaoren had been calling him.

"When it comes to Double Ninth Festival, we will climb Pingshan Hall together to enjoy the autumn scenery, how about it?" He Zhaoren asked Zhang Yang.

Pingshan Hall is located in Daming Temple, Zhongfeng, Shugang, the northwest suburb. It was built in the eighth year of Qingli of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty. It was built by Ouyang Xiu, the prefect of Yangzhou at that time. It is quiet and ancient. The mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are vivid and vivid, and it seems to be flat with the hall, so it is called Pingshan Hall.

"Okay, no problem." Zhang Yang replied.

"Well, this is almost the same." He Zhaoyi said, "Then let's just say that. Next time, next time, when you send me salt, it should be here." He Zhaoyi stretched out his finger and calculated.

Outside the window is a trickle of water. Occasionally, a small boat or two passes by gently, the sails bulged slightly. Willow branches sway in the wind, and the temple towers in the distance are hidden in the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan like smoke.

What a happy life it would be without war and oppression.

Zhang Yang withdrew his thoughts. After eating this meal for about two hours, he also talked about transactions. It can be predicted that the future coarse salt purification assembly line can continuously create wealth for himself, reserve grain, recruit personnel, train elite soldiers, and fight for the world.

"Young Master He, Miss He, it's getting late, it's time for me to say goodbye." Zhang Yang said to them.

"Then let it be. Please don't let Mr. Zhang stay in the places where the hospitality is not good." He Zhaoren said.

"I'm leaving now? Let's wait!" He Zhaoyi said.

Zhang Yang walked to the stairs and looked back at He Zhaoyi again. A beam of sunlight shone through the window on her pretty face. The expectant eyes made Zhang Yang feel a little moved.

"See you next time!" Zhang Yang waved.

He Zhaoyi wanted to move, but she didn't move, so she just looked at Zhang Yang downstairs.

Suddenly, she ran towards the window. Looking at Zhang Yang who was on the boat, waving his slender jade fingers vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Double Ninth Festival, don't forget!"

Zhang Yang raised his head, looked at He Zhaoyi in the vermilion window, and waved to her.

It's really troublesome for women!

"Young Master Zhang, we will meet here ten days later." He Zhaoren said.

Ten days? It's really an impatient guy. I'm sure I can deliver the salt in ten days? "So many, no problem."

Zhang Yang looked up and the flag of Guan Yan had been removed from the mast and replaced with the He family's unique sign.

"There will be a time later!"

"There will be a time later!"

The ship slowly started, leaving the tributary and commuted into the main channel. There were more and more salt ships around it.

Sure enough, with the He family's umbrella, the anti-smuggling boat came towards him and passed by, without caring about it at all.

Zhang Yang's heart has flown back to the base.

After entering Desheng Lake, he replaced the He family's flag and drove directly to the base.

After coming here for too many times, he naturally became very familiar with waterways. Zhang Yang could skillfully direct the ships to turn around without a waterway map. It seemed messy, but he approached the base step by step.

Every time I come to the base, I feel like I’m going home.

As soon as the ship approached the dock, Zhang Yang rushed to the shore in one step.

"You unload the salt into the warehouse. I'll go and take a look." Zhang Yang left this sentence and ran to the base without looking back.

I wonder how many Tianque guns have been made in total?

The iron smelting base in the north was crowded with a busy scene. The blast furnace of the iron smelting was burning vigorously. The red iron was about to be released.

Twenty or thirty blacksmiths smashed iron on the anvil with a hammer. With one hammer, sparks flew everywhere.

The iron ingot gradually changed its shape and took shape.

The number of blacksmiths is twice as many as last time, and the number of people is large and the power is greater. As long as they master the technology, the Tianque gun will be made in large quantities.

"Bosheng!" Zhang Yang saw the shirtless man in the crowd walking around among the blacksmiths. It was Li Bosheng.

"Brother!" Li Bosheng suddenly found that Zhang Yang was coming and walked quickly from inside.

“When did you come back?”

Zhang Yang was delighted when he heard the word "come back". Everyone had already regarded this place as their home invisibly.

"He came here as soon as he arrived. How is the production of Tianque gun?"

"Brother, the technology has gradually matured. With the large number of people, the daily output is about four."

Li Bosheng's face was filled with confidence and satisfaction.

Four? Well, there is a great progress. But there is still a big gap between you and your ideal. If you want to organize a unit of ten thousand people, it will take more than half a year to meet the current production capacity. In addition, damaged weapons will eliminate some of the poor accuracy. It will take nearly a year of production capacity to be equipped.

"Continue to work hard and increase production. If you have the opportunity, I will equip you with more blacksmiths. If you notice someone who is skillful can also recruit you." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, brother." Li Bosheng replied.

"Also, how do you deal with those waste products?" Zhang Yang asked.

The scrap was eliminated by the blacksmith in the process of making Tianque gun parts due to mistakes. The same was done by the steel and then tempered, and it was the fine iron among the fine iron. It was a pity that it was scrapped like this.

"The waste products have been concentrated and are ready to be re-furnished and cast into iron ingots and sold." Li Bosheng said.

Sell? These irons are so good, it's a pity to sell them. Why not... make bayonets! Tianque guns already have them, but they still lack close-fitting weapons. Although the original intention of Tianque guns is to destroy the opponent at a long distance as much as possible and reduce the number of internal fighting times. Swords have no eyes, no matter how powerful the martial arts master is, he will die in the chaos. But then again, there are still fish that escape the net. Therefore, you must have melee weapons. Bayonets are undoubtedly the best choice.

Archers lack melee ability, so they need the protection of the gunman and knifeman. Once they are approached by the enemy, their only option is to escape.

The musketeer, combined with bayonets and grenades, formed the three types of firepower in the distance, medium and medium, which were enough to sweep all the people, cavalry, infantry, sailors, and archers, and took them all.

"Bosheng, re-made the waste products into bayonets." Zhang Yang said.

"Battle? What is a bayonet?" Li Bosheng didn't understand.

"The bayonet is a small knife that can be hung at the front of the Tianque gun. It has blades on both sides and a bloodletting groove in the middle." Zhang Yang said, gesturing on the ground.

Li Bosheng listened and looked at the graphics drawn by Zhang Yang on the ground. He thought for a long time before he understood.

"In other words, our Tianque gun is not only a long-range killing weapon, but also can be used as a melee weapon like a big sword and spear.

"Of course. Draw out two people who are the least ignorant of making Tianque guns and let them make bayonets specifically!" Zhang Yang said.
