stubborn thief

Chapter 59

The lack of food brought Heilong Mountain to the end, and it also made people welcome new life.

Wild, dare to do anything.

Cao Yao gathered a few blacksmiths among the refugees and asked them to make muskets for themselves.

The craftsmen didn't even say a word, and the ding ding ding rang.

He said that the musket he was going to make was something from Liaozhen, with a total length of five feet, a three-legged iron frame, and a weight of eighteen pounds. It was operated by two people and shot two hundred steps horizontally.

When Liu Chengzong heard this, he raised his gun and asked him: Why are you doing this?
Cao Yao said that this thing is especially beneficial for street fighting. Even the small street in the middle of the front and back courtyards in Wangzhuangbao, as long as it hangs down from the back mountain, ten people can be destroyed by spraying the gun with loose powder.

Liu Chengzong stopped him from some crazy thoughts, and he couldn't see clearly at night. The guards in Wangzhuang were not their opponents.

Gunpowder is not a big problem.

Heilongshan originally had some gunpowder, but Liu Chengzu was cautious and did not recommend that they use the gunpowder of the military.

So I chose to match myself. Cao Yao was in Laomiaozhuang and Liu Chengzong was in Heilongshan. They took all the nitrates from every household, and they made up a lot of nitrate.

Most of the frontier troops in Shaanxi know how to produce nitrate in Shaanxi, but they are too tired.

The refugees who were catching up with the government stalls were all eating at home, so they arranged for a few firecrackers named Huang Laosan to hide in the mountains to do this.

Yang Dingrui heard that Liu Chengzong was going to use sulphur, and he could probably guess what it was, so he quietly asked Liu Chengzong.

After all, he was a teacher, so he couldn't hide it, so Liu Chengzong could only tell his plan.

Who knew that Yang Dingrui felt hatred when he heard it: "Should be killed, I wanted to kill Zhang Qing back then, but Zhao Shou, sent by Governor Lu, was my friend, but was tortured to death!"

Zhao Shou was a talented man. He served in the Shaanxi governor Lu Zhaoxiong's mansion. The governor sent him to make an unannounced visit to Qin Fan's occupation of the horse farm, and was finally beaten to death by Zhang Qing.

Lv Zhaoxiong participated in the court performance, but Emperor Tianqi let the Qin House solve the matter by itself. At that time, Shaanxi officials were angry and helpless.

But at this moment, Yang Dingrui saw that Heilongshan was desperate, and did not dissuade Liu Chengzong at all, but instead took the matter of sulphur.

He only borrowed one person from him, and took Guo Zashi away on two donkeys.

That night, the two returned with two donkeys, which carried four large clay pots on their backs, carrying a total of 190 five catties of sulfur.

In the Yuanlong Temple on the south side of Heilong Mountain, the Yan'an Prefecture provides relief for work, builds glazed pagodas, mines and burns kilns. Still works.

And the time to go is good, Yang Dingrui didn't intend to ask for so much.

Relief for work is about to stop, and this batch of sulphur will be shipped to Yan'anwei. The recipient is Zhang Qianhu. Yang Dingrui heard the name, he was an acquaintance.

It's better to feed the dog to the guard who doesn't do business.

Bring it to you!

The two of them could pack as much as they could, and finally took four cans weighing 180 catties, and asked Guo Zhashi to take off his clothes and packed another [-] catties before leaving.

Liu Chengzong, who woke up in the middle of the night, was stunned, worried that if Yang Dingrui brought back so much sulfur, it would harm the office of the workshop.

How could he know that, Yang Dingrui was still not satisfied, saying that he knew that the batch of sulfur was going to be given to Zhang Qianhu, and he had to call two cars to bring him back with five or six hundred catties.

As for the office of the studio, Yang Dingrui told him to relax. There are more than a dozen large blast furnaces used there.

Even if he pulls [-] catties back, it will only take half a day.

Spread it in a month, and the loss of sulphur in the screen will come out.

Everyone dare not do anything, but these things are done very neatly. Even if they don't ask for it, some people will take things from them and sell them in the city.

Liu Chengzong never dreamed that Yang Dingrui could get him so much sulfur.

This is enough for two thousand catties of gunpowder, giving Cao Yao a chance to dig a hole can really lift the high wall of Wangzhuangbao.

It's a pity that they don't have that much salt, and bombing the fort is still a joke.

Moreover, Liu Chengzong found that there was a big problem with blowing the door latch.

They could make a dynamite bag, but it would be difficult to secure the dynamite bag across from the latch of the fort door.

You can't drive nails under the door of someone's fort, can you?
Even if the defenders were really slack enough to let them drive nails, they would have to drive several big nails to open the explosive pack of the thick solid wood door.

For a few days when Huang Laosan was boiling salt, Liu Chengzu was suffocating in the brick kiln without any distractions.

Only Cao Yao and Liu Chengzong racked their brains to worry about this issue.

Until, another memory of Liu Chengzong flashed a strange thing - the onboard happiness stick, scientific name Thornlei.

A metal casing, a tapered copper cover, a large amount of black gunpowder and a long wooden pole were placed on top of the fort gate.

Changing the charge can put a hole in the tank.

Wouldn't it be possible to use it to punch a hole in the door exactly and break the latch at the back?

But Liu Chengzong drew the drawings, and the more he looked at it, the more anxious he became. After all, this thing is especially suitable for the hungry people of this era, but it is not suitable for bombing the castle gate.

The Hungry People's Brigade held up a long blasting pole and shouted "Time is dying, I and you are all dead!" They charged at the brightly armored Han general under the gate of the Forbidden City.

Appropriate, so appropriate.

Cao Yao is like Liu Chengzong's robot cat. No matter what he needs, he can take it out of the old thief's stomach. If he can't take it out, he needs to find other ways.

After drawing the drawings, Cao Yao took a bag of Wanli Tongbao from Cao Yao, and Liu Chengzong, who was so happy, put on his hoe and went to the blacksmith to place an order.

Copper coins and hoes are both materials.

"Make a thicker iron cylinder shell, knock the copper coins into a thin awl shell, just like the picture, yes, remember to keep the eyes of the pole in the iron cylinder. What kind of pole do you say, and which pole is the longest in the mountains?"

The honest homeless blacksmith suddenly became anxious when he saw what kind of pole was mentioned, so he could only aggrieved Baba and replied, "The spear is eight feet wide."

"Yes, use whichever is the longest."

The pole can't be short, Liu Chengzong hasn't lived enough.

However, this thing is indeed much simpler to make than Cao Yao's wind chasing gun. The blacksmith only took half a day to complete the thing.

Liu Chengzong was dumbfounded until the gunpowder was poured in, and he forgot to drill the wire eyes.

Let the blacksmith rework again, let Cao Yao twist a lead wire, pour three catties of gunpowder, and a few old men carried long poles and broken door boards to the back mountain in the middle of the night.

Experiment.

Both Liu Chengzu and Cai Zhongpan thought this thing was stupid, but they were of high quality and didn't say it.

Only Cao Yao said it.

Cao Yao is very annoying to Liu Chengzong at this moment.

Originally, I wanted to mess with my mother-in-law for a while the day before yesterday, but he took off his pants and dragged him out to survey the terrain. Yesterday, he was on the road for a day, and he just lay down in the house today, and he asked for money again.

In the evening, I finally felt that the opportunity had come, and I was even stabbed out to see the experiment.

And the baby he picked up was thrown into his house, so he could train him how to take care of the baby first.

Last but not least, fire this really stupid looking thing on fire.

The three door panels were standing on the ground, and Liu Chengzong stood there clutching his long pole tail, still looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

Cao Yao grabbed the fire box and put it in front of the blasting tube of the conical charge. He swallowed and asked Liu Chengzong, "Really? Don't blow me up."

"How about you go to the kiln and get Song Shouzhen over?"

Liu Chengzong's words were sincere, and he didn't know what Cao Yao was thinking, so he scolded: "If you join his mother, the court didn't kill me!"

Before Liu Chengzong could hear it clearly, he saw the flames rushing, Cao Yao hugged his head and rolled to the side, followed by a bang.

The fire in front of him was deafening, and a vibration came from his hand, which pushed him back.

When he got up, the smoke of gunpowder filled him, causing him to cough, but he was not injured.

Looking forward, the top of the long rod has been cracked, and the iron shell blasting tube has cracked, like an exploding gun battle.

Going forward, the three wooden doors were pierced through the hole as large as the mouth of the bowl, neat and tidy.

In the cheers of the three, a different smile appeared on Liu Chengzong's face.

He screamed wildly in his heart: Useful!
My memory is useful!
　Good morning!
