Chapter 57 "Kill your own Virgin first, protect the enemy Virgin" upgrade version
After the interrogation that day, although Shen Shuren failed to come up with countermeasures immediately, it was quite fruitful.

At least by repeatedly comparing the confessions of a group of captives, he roughly grasped the current status of Liu Xiyao's army's weapons and equipment.

Knowing how many troops Liu Xiyao actually has, how many firearms he has, and the condition of the armor and equipment in the army, these are the latest first-hand data, which are much more accurate than the previous rough estimates.

When the two armies are at war, it is very important to know yourself and the enemy.

After confirming the weakness of Liu Xiyao's military equipment, Shen Shuren was not idle, and immediately ordered the army to step up drills and strengthen the demonstration of shotgun tactics.

On the other hand, the only craftsmen in Huangzhou who produced gunpowder and lead bullets were also organized to urgently process a large number of sub-caliber small lead bullets.

The new molds were not enough for a while, so the craftsmen tried the method of "pouring molten lead water into cold water at a slower speed" according to Shen Shuren's idea. After repeated tests, they really produced very easy-to-obtain small lead beads. .

The degree of roundness of this kind of lead ball is enough, and the problem of rolling deflection during test firing is not obvious, which can be compared with large spherical lead bullets.

The only problem is that the diameter is not easy to control, and it may be slightly different each time, but considering that the leather or paper may be wrapped in the future to seal the airtight, this error is acceptable.

Moreover, after repeated tests, the craftsmen also summed up some experiences that Shen Shuren hadn't noticed before—when pouring lead water, the temperature of the lead water, the height of the drop before entering the cold water, the speed at the moment of entering the water, and the speed of pouring the lead water , these four factors seem to affect the diameter of the final condensed lead ball.

Now that these influencing variables are known, all that remains is repeated controlled experiments.Although Shen Shuren doesn't know how to do these experiments himself, he knows how to use modern scientific management methods to control variables.

He personally made a table, the vertical is the data results of each experiment, and the horizontal is the parameters of the four major variables, so that the craftsmen control three of the variables to be consistent each time, and only the last variable changes, and then test and compare.

In this way, through the rigorous arrangement and combination of dozens of sets of data, the best solution that can be achieved so far is measured.

This kind of thinking is a basic exercise for modern people, but for the ancients who lacked mathematical coordination ability, it was once again shocking.

The small officials in the government office of Qixian County were shocked after being instructed by Mr. Tongzhi personally. They sincerely admired Mr. Tongzhi for his erudition and clear thinking.

……

After a few days.The training of recruits is still in full swing, and the production of new ammunition is also on the right track, from the experimental stage to full production capacity.

On Shen Shuren's side, besides dealing with business matters every day, he was also thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

Needless to say, inspiration is like a wallet, it is often not easy to find when you are in a hurry to find it.

You put it aside and do other things first, think about it subconsciously, and instead remember it inadvertently.

On August 23rd, that is, the fifth day after finishing the detailed work.

Shen Shuren finally had some clues. After finishing his official duties for the day, he selectively interrogated Liu San and other idiots who were the first to be afraid of death.

Liu San has been working as a coolie for the past five days. He thought that he was going to be a coolie for the rest of his life. He never thought that he would be interrogated——

He is just a small whistle chief, and even their department chiefs have been confessed, so what's the value of interrogating him?He doesn't know any more useful information.

As soon as he saw Shen Shuren, Liu San immediately kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, wanting to beg for mercy, obviously he thought that today he was going to invite him to have his head cut off.

Shen Shuren didn't bother to explain more to this kind of tool man, and said bluntly and coldly: "If you cry again, I will cut you off."

Only then did Liu San hold back abruptly.

Shen Shuren rubbed his nose: "Would you like to go back to Liu Xiyao? Answer after you think it through. You are already the fourth person to be asked this question today."

Liu San was taken aback, struggled for a moment, and said, "I will go back if my lord asks me to go, and I won't go if my lord doesn't let me go. My lord, I am a local citizen of Huangzhou, and I was coerced in the past two years. Thief."

Shen Shuren waved his hand: "I've thought about it too, and now it's almost ten days before and after you were detained. Liu Xiyao must have become suspicious and think that you have been seen through and destroyed by me.

I don't bother to pretend to be confused, so let's be clear--tomorrow, I will order the head of the department and several other die-hard leaders to be chopped up, and their heads will be displayed at the gate of the city for three days.

After showing it to the public, you can pretend to be righteous and steal the head, and report to Liu Xiyao when you go back, saying that you have been exposed, that I am suspicious by nature, and recently killed innocent people in Huangzhou indiscriminately.

But you were able to escape because the gentry of Huangzhou dared not speak out against me.Some local peasants in the army joined the army, and the leading officers were Yuan Zhongyi and Xu Haoshen's former guards. They sympathized with the bandits, and happened to be responsible for guarding you. They wanted to deal with me and avenge their old masters, so they found an opportunity to release you privately. Call you sudden death as a coolie. "

As Liu San listened, the hope of survival rose again, and if he could put it back for nothing, he would survive anyway.

But he still felt a little untrue and unreliable, so he explained euphemistically: "It's okay to go back and say these things, but I'm stupid and have no status, Liu... Liu thief may not believe it."

Shen Shuren: "Believe it or not is not something you have to worry about, as long as you bring your words with you. You have completed such a dangerous task and brought back the reason for your failure. I believe Liu Xiyao will reward you.

In addition, I have a way to know if you have seen Liu Xiyao after you go back. If you don't go to see Liu Xiyao, after half a month, I will find a way to let Liu Xiyao know: the reason why all his meticulous work was wiped out is because of you guys The stupidest, the first to show his flaws, and I followed the clues.How Liu Xiyao will let you die at that time will definitely be crueler than mine.

It would be even better if Liu Xiyao didn't know that his secret operations were destroyed and came to attack within half a month. I would set up an ambush in the city and destroy the vanguard that he wanted to make money, and let him lose by the way. At that time, you will also die. "

Shen Shuren was afraid that the other party's IQ would be too low, so he first made it clear and let the other party know clearly, "If you don't tell Liu Xiyao when you go back, you will die sooner or later."

In this case, Liu San didn't want to deceive the original owner and wanted to survive, so he had no choice but to flee directly, that is, after being released from Shen Shuren, he would not return to Liu Xiyao's army and go into exile directly under his name.

It is true that Shen Shuren can't guard against this at the moment, but even so, Shen Shuren has no loss, just saying that if he has a date or not, he will hit a shot.

If you win, you earn, if you lose, you don't lose, and if you don't try, you don't try.

Liu San hesitated for a few seconds, and seemed to want to understand the truth, so he pretended to agree before speaking dejectedly.

Only then did Shen Shuren take the time to add: "Since you have made up your mind, you will exaggerate my brutality after you go back, saying that I squeezed the local gentry, forced them to donate money and food to expand the army, gave preferential treatment to civilians, and widely planted red barbarian food from Fujian.

Let me emphasize again that I am vigilant and suspicious. In the townships where Hongyi crops are planted in Qishui, servants are stationed to take care of them. If Liu Xiyao invades before the autumn harvest, I will ask my servants to destroy all the fields where Hongyi crops are grown. If it is burned, not a single seed will be left to Liu Xiyao—this information, of course, was revealed to you by the rich local gentry who let you.

If Liu Xiyao believes this, please ask for a life-saving token for the Yuan family and the Xu family. In the future, when the cities of Qizhou and Qishui are destroyed, they must be protected and their property cannot be robbed.In this way, they were willing to cooperate with Liu Xiyao. "

After finishing the order, Shen Shuren turned to Shen Fu: "Go, take 50 taels of silver, and give it to one of the captives who has the best relationship with him, Robe, and take that robe as a hostage.

Give him good wine and good meat to eat for a few days, nourish his body so that he can go on the road, don't heal his injuries, save some injuries and go back to see the truth, and it will be easier for Liu Xiyao to believe that he escaped after suffering. "

After Shen Fu took the order, Shen Shuren finally added to Liu San: "You can't let you take the money away directly. If it is found after you go back, it will kill you. But as long as you complete the mission, you will be given another 300 yuan after the war." two silver.

I heard that many of your family members were also killed and injured in the bandit rebellion. Since you are a native of Huanggang, I will give you a chance to do whatever you want.This official treats the gentry harshly and reduces rents for the poor. It is hard to find a good official like me in Daming.Think carefully about whether you are willing to earn a lot of money and live a stable life under the rule of this official. "

After some threats and lures, the plan was implemented.

This operation also reminded Shen Shuren of a joke that was widely sung in the "Three-Body Problem" book friend group in his previous life: "When it comes to war and crisis, the first thing to do is to kill your own Holy Mother and protect the enemy." Our Lady of Fang".

Human beings should kill the Madonna of Humanity and protect the Madonna of Trinity.The Trisolarans should kill the Trisolaris Mother and protect the Human Virgin.

By extension, if you encounter an enemy with pig teammates, you should also enjoy the treatment of the Virgin Mary, because both of them have the commonality of "holding back".

Among those secret works sent by Liu Xiyao, Shen Shuren had to chop off the elites who were really capable and did not show their own flaws, and the ones put back must be "pig teammates who caused the elite teammates to be killed".

Because the pig teammate's butt is already dirty, if the boss knows the truth about his pig, the boss will definitely chop him up, and he can only continue to pig to save his life.

Today was just a small trial, allowing Shen Shuren to put this idea into practice.Let's wait and see the effect for now.

If it proves that the curative effect is really good afterwards, we can follow this line of thinking to dig deeper and summarize in the future, which can be regarded as implementing and carrying forward the "Three-Body Killing the Virgin Mary Art of War".

……

The next day, "Liu Xiyao's military crimes" were publicly exposed in Qizhou County. The government, which had been conducting secret trials for many days, suddenly became high-profile, and quickly tried the sophisticated and meticulous crimes sent by Liu Xiyao in public.

Regardless of whether the procedures were complete, all of them were beheaded on the same day, and their heads were hung at the gate of the city for public display.

The local people, who had never seen such violence from Shen Tongzhi, were also terrified.

I heard that even Zhao County had some conflicts with Shen Tongzhi, thinking that Shen Tongzhi was too careless about human life and killed Liu Xiyao, which was not conducive to the subsequent recruitment of Liu Xiyao's troops, and it was easy to arouse the opponent's determination to resist - of course, all this is just what outsiders heard.

A few days later, after a psychological struggle, the desperate Liu San still chose to secretly take the head of his boss, pretending to escape from death and report back.

He had already figured it out, Liu Xiyao's army was very strict at the junction of the two armies, and he might not be able to escape if he wanted to be a deserter.On the south bank of Qishui, Shen Shuren's soldiers had been following and staring at him from a distance. If he dared to escape early in Shen Shuren's defense zone, there would definitely be a string of blunderbuss bullets shot directly from behind.

It's better to go back and bring a few words to Liu thief, and it won't be too late to find a way to escape after taking the words.
