Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 120 I will go with you to the strong place

"Strong land? Where is this?"

Xu Guangqi's eyes were a little dazed.

He has been studying ingenious things all his life, and he is familiar with the countries of Frangji.

But he had never heard of Qiangdi.

"The strong ground is in Xuanfu Town." Li Gaoyi said.

"Xuanfu Town? You mean, this pistol was made in Xuanfu Town?"

Xu Guangqi's eyes widened suddenly.

"Yes, my lord."

"You bullshit!"

Xu Guangqi scolded.

"How could Xuanfu Town produce such an excellent hand gun?"

Xu Guangqi couldn't believe it at all.

It's not that he doesn't trust Li Gaoyi.

But he knows the difficulty of making firecrackers.

Xuanfu Town has no foundation at all!
How can such an advanced firecracker be created for nothing?

Xu Guangqi hoped that this was true, but he knew that the truth might be absolutely impossible.

"The little ones know it's hard for grown-ups to believe. But it's the truth.

This pistol was indeed made by our Xuanfu town, Shunshengchuan Qiangdi. "

Li Gaoyi was neither humble nor overbearing, he was prepared and confident.

"We have a strong land, and there are many interesting and rare things."

As Li Gaoyi said, he took out another booklet.

"Our Mr. Zhao knows that Mr. Ge likes to study mathematics and geometry, so he specially brought this booklet and gave it to Mr. Ge."

"Oh?"

Xu Guangqi took it over and began to look through it.

Li Gaoyi's heart was a little uneasy.

He had also read this pamphlet called Geometry.

Inside are ghostly symbols.

Master Ge, would you like these?

However, before he set off, Zhao Cheng once again specifically asked him to hand over this booklet to Elder Xu Ge.

Li Gaoyi could only follow suit.

Looking at Xu Guangqi now, after flipping through the brochure, the more I look at it, the more excited I become.

"Who is your Master Zhao?"

Holding the booklet in his hand, Xu Guangqi asked excitedly.

"My Mr. Zhao is the official of Huai'an Weishun Shengchuan Marketing Hundred Households." Li Gaoyi said.

"How can a little official of a hundred households delve into such profound truths?

I am a folk of the Ming Dynasty, it really is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! "

Xu Guangqi sighed with emotion.

Then, he changed his tone and said:

"This pistol gun, bring some more, and teach me how to use the percussion.

I'm going to the palace now to meet His Majesty.

After His Majesty has seen the power of this gun, he will definitely call your Master Zhao to Beijing.

At that time, it will be a matter of leisure to increase the rank and become a noble, and to be a high-ranking official.

Your lord, you are really worrying about the country.

With this thing, what kind of Tartars will we be afraid of in the future!

Sweeping the universe is just a snap of the fingers. "

Xu Guangqi raised his head and laughed heartily.

Li Gaoyi's expression was a little strange.

He now feels that Mr. Zhao really has the foresight!
Even Xu Ge's reaction was expected.

No wonder he was specifically told to run out of bullets and leave only one shot for Xu Guangqi.

The emperor summoned him and promoted him to a noble rank.

For ordinary people, this is a good thing to honor their ancestors, and it is the ultimate pursuit of life.

But Mr. Zhao obviously doesn't take this seriously.

Mr. Zhao, that has even grander ambitions.

"My lord, the little one has no bullets in his hand, only these few bullets, which have been shot just now.

Our Master Zhao said that if you like this hand gun, you can come to our stronghold to have a look.

We are strong, there are definitely many good things that Mr. Zhao can't even think about. "

"What? Only these bullets?"

Xu Guangqi was taken aback for a moment, and the next moment, he was furious.

"Are you kidding me?"

How could he fail to see Li Gaoyi's intentions?

"Don't dare!" Li Gaoyi immediately bowed his fists and lowered his head.

Xu Guangqi strode back and forth, pacing around the room.

Obviously weighing the pros and cons.

From time to time, I look at the booklet "Geometry" in my hand.

Now, there is no gun, only this pistol, if you show it to His Majesty, I am afraid that His Majesty will discount what he said in his heart, and may not believe him.

If another political opponent takes the opportunity to attack him, he will not get well, and maybe he will be reprimanded.

Emperor Chongzhen was a irascible old man, and Xu Guangqi knew it well.

Moreover, although this pistol is sharp, if it is only this one, it will not be of much use.

The key is to mass-produce, and the quantity must be large.

"Okay! I'll go with you to the strong place."

That Zhao Baihu has a pistol that can be fired continuously, and this book "Geometry".

These two points alone are enough for him to make a trip.

Fortunately, Xuanfu Town is not far away.

Xu Guangqi entered the palace and sued the emperor for leave.

The situation is unknown now, so he won't tell the emperor yet.

Otherwise, when the emperor asks, if he doesn't know, it will appear that he is unqualified as an elder.

Then, he arranged for the guards and set off with Li Gaoyi.

……

Xuanfu Town, Chaigou Fort.

Outside the city wall, the sand was steaming, and a Jurchen hussar was showing off their might.

They deliberately released a group of young and strong men to let those people escape for their lives.

Then, they shoot and kill on horseback.

Or he would chase after him on horseback, behead someone with a single blow, pick off the head with a long knife, and show off his power under the city wall.

On the city wall, Governor Shen Chi looked at the scene below, not only did not show anger, but was trembling with fright.

The body under the bird's official uniform was shaking violently.

"Tar...the Tartars are so cruel!

They were all fine, haven't we already talked about it?
Give them food, cattle and sheep, and they will leave after they have food and drink, and they will no longer harass our Xuanfu Town.

Why...why did you suddenly turn your face and get angry? "

There was fear in Shen Chi's tone.

Next to him, Chief Military Officer Wang Chengyun pouted contemptuously.

This time, the post-Jin army was not to beat Guan Daming, but to defeat Lin Danhan.

However, Lin Danhan didn't know how to get the news in advance, and fled the camp.

Huang Taiji's plan fell through and did not achieve the strategic goal.

On the contrary, due to the long-distance raid, the logistics did not keep up, and the food was in short supply, and the soldiers were about to starve.

No matter how strong the army is, as long as there is no food, the morale will definitely be low, and the army will also be in chaos.

This was originally a good opportunity for Da Ming to seize the opportunity to attack.

But when Chen Chen saw the Tartars, his legs went limp with fright.

Not only did he not take the opportunity to fight the Tartars, but he took the initiative to ask for peace and gave them food, cattle and sheep...

Wang Chengyun is a man who knows soldiers.

He once fought against the Tartars outside the customs, and once fought with Zu Dashou and Yuan Chonghuan.

But he is not so stubborn.

In this day and age, those who are stubborn and unyielding will eventually break.

His character is more inclined to the old fritters.

Although he saw the opportunity for war, as the governor, Shen Chi was afraid of death and was unwilling to fight, and Wang Chengyun was also happy to see it succeed.

Tartars are very cruel, Shen Chi was right about this.

Even the Tartars who were short of food were still very cruel.

In the end, even if he could inflict serious damage on Tartar, he would still be at risk of dying in battle... He had no reason to do so.

Is it good to live well?
