I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 298 Firearms Prologue
Liu Qing: "This kind of information transmission is like a breeze blowing a river, and the water waves are flowing all the time. They can't stir up big splashes, but they can't clean them up if they want to. The information they transmit may not be true in ten, but in a hundred There must be truth. When we discover that there is an undercurrent hidden under the water, it is the second type of bottom-level spies who are dispatched."

Mrs. Zou agreed: "Yes. The situation in the city is wrong, but I can't find evidence to tell what's wrong."

"Like my sister, I have been aware of it, and I can't guess anything." He shook his head, "These spies came to Xiangping with different fixed tasks. Something unusual must have happened in the city, and it must be something unusual. , to trigger their mission, so that they cannot ignore it and have to execute it."

"Xiangping Jizhou Zhi, County Zhi, merchants bustling, craftsmen bustling, it can be said that every day is unusual and unusual. The biggest movement is a few conscriptions, but this kind of news often does not wait for the spies to send out the information. The war has already begun. .”

"Yeah, this is my confusion too."

Mrs. Zou sighed: "Some people have lived here for too long, and they have long forgotten that they are spies, and their force and vigilance are not as good as before. It is a pity that their slowness and timidity cannot reach the level that allows us to get lucky, but disturbs us. Just like when she was in a foreign country back then, she was able to escape not because she was alert, but because she had lost the characteristics of a spy, which caused the hostile forces to fail to catch her in the first round of search.

Liu Qing: "From my personal experience, there are some unusual things...more and more soldiers from other counties and towns; It cannot be speculated that they are not in Xiangping. There is one more thing! We got too close to Master Wang, so we ignored it!"

Mrs. Zou patted her forehead angrily: "Yes. Quyuanli, bellows, both of which are beneficial to thousands of families. I have to go to the official office. I remember that the 'Liaodong Master' encountered different disasters in the past two years. The specific circumstances should be There are documents."

"There are too many people to check quickly, I will go with you."

"You don't have permission, go around the street first."

How could Liu Qing not know this?Didn't get cheap, very depressed.Alas, when can he become an official official?With Wang Ge in front, it can only show that he is not capable enough, not because of his age.

When Mrs. Zou arrived at the official office, those carpenters had just signed the secret contract and passed her by.

Lu Weng walked in the front: "Oh." After listening to Master Wang's experience, he also had a thousand words of experience, so depressed, he could not confide in anyone after leaving.

Master Lan Jiang: "Oh!" Lu Weng, I understand you.

Carpenter Zhang: "Oh..." Lu Weng, Carpenter Lan, I understand you.

More than 20 people either looked complicated, or shook their heads and sighed.

Mrs. Zou guessed that these people were carpenters who came to ask for advice on craftsmanship.What happened?Isn't it in the Gongcao Office to teach craftsmanship? Why did you come to the Official Office?Also all melancholy!Even if Age spoke poorly, it wouldn't be the case.

Wang Ge and Wang Biao sat on both sides of the meritorious service office separated by several walls, looking up at Mrs. Duan.

"According to what Carpenter Wang just said, the bellows are similar to the medicine spraying cabinet, so the bellows can also be used to spray pesticides and put out fires?"

"Yes. But the seal must be changed, and chicken feathers cannot be used."

Wang Biaozhi: "Well, the structure of the bellows is simpler than that of the medicine spraying cabinet, which is more conducive to the promotion in poor areas. When Master Wang explained the bellows, did he have any unfinished intentions?"

Each one is more refined than a monkey.His mind was seen, Wang Ge did not hide it, and said: "It's not a bellows. I suddenly thought of lamp oil. If the spray cabinet is filled with sesame oil, when the sesame oil is sprayed out, another person is holding a torch in front. How far away?"

What she described was a kind of firearm that appeared in the Song Dynasty: fierce fire oil tank.

Limited by the insufficient sealing function, Wang Ge hesitated.However, the theory can be put forward first, and the simplified version is still feasible.

The house is quiet.

This kind of silence does not only mean that no one answered her, but a kind of stillness in the atmosphere. The brains of Mrs. Duan and Wang Biaozhi were all surprised and stuck in Wang Ge's hypothesis.

It's not that hard to understand, is it?Wang Ge further guided: "Of course it is when the wind is blowing. Hmm...sesame oil is expensive. If you don't succeed, it would be too wasteful. It would be best if you have something cheap to replace, so you can try a few more times."

She knew that oil was discovered very early, and it was called "black water" or "stone paint" at this time.The earliest record of oil is a description of the counties of "Shangjun" in "Geography" written by Ban Gu...Dingyang, Gaonu, has Weishui, which is flammable.

It means that the Wei water in Dingyang County and Gaonu County in Shangjun is flammable.

At that time, people didn't know that the oil floating on the water was oil, but they had already used it for lighting.It is a pity that Heishui has not attracted enough attention and only serves as a candle in the local area.Later, it was used in war for the first time in the Xuanzheng period of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, it was called "shizhi water".

Wang Biaozhi came back to his senses first, and coughed lightly.

Mrs. Duan: "Then try it. Try it with sesame oil first, and then find a substitute."

"You can't try it with a spray cabinet." Wang Ge explained: "If the cabinet is too big and the seal cannot be achieved, it will be troublesome if the fire burns back along the hole. Try it with a fire extinguisher."

The fire extinguisher can push the sesame oil away in one go.

Everyone came to the Bingcao training field, only here is the sesame oil warehouse.A rather dramatic scene appeared. The soldiers of the two counties escorted several men in Taoist robes into the warehouse area. These people who didn't know the real Taoist priests all carried heavy baskets.

The officials of the Bing Cao in the county office are the same as the county office, only set up "Bing Cao History".The Bing Cao of Dongyi Xiaowei's Mansion has the highest level of "Bing Cao".

The county soldiers ordered the Taoist priests to stop, and one of them ran over to report to Cao Shi, the soldier, that these Taoist priests were arrested because they were selling saltpeter in the market.

saltpeter?Is there saltpeter in the basket?Wang Ge's eyes widened, God's will?With sulfur and saltpeter, there is charcoal in the kitchen!Almost a death test?

So excited, when she pretended to be nonchalant and looked to the side, the pair of "brass bells" didn't bother to return to normal, and happened to meet Wang Biaozhi's eyes.

He rolled his eyes with a smile.

She had a guilty conscience: Shuzuo's nickname should not be "Wang Baixu", but White Fox Spirit!
Bing Cao Shi asked the officials to fill the two thinnest fire extinguishers with sesame oil and wipe off the residue outside the equipment.Mrs. Duan came with officials and torches. The three officials followed Wang Ge's instructions, wedged three thick stakes in the martial arts field, put the fire extinguisher on the two stakes at the back, and tied them tightly.

Torches were tied vertically to the front stakes and lit.

To be on the safe side, Wang Ge made the staff who pushed the stopper rod hold the stick as an extension rod.

Everything is ready.

No wind today.

After Wang Ge nodded, Lady Duan ordered: "Push!"

call……

The python flame of several feet opened the prelude to the firearms war in the third year of Longxi in the Great Jin Dynasty, on the ninth day of August.

The few fake Taoist priests who sold saltpeter were fortunate enough to witness this scene. Unfortunately, they were imprisoned in the county office for the rest of their lives.

Wang Ge signed another secret contract, and she didn't need to take care of the rest.

After returning to the official residence, Mrs. Zou was already waiting for her.

"How is teaching?"

"Have you talked to Liu Langjun?"

Both are concerned about each other.

　Wei: Sound wěi, name of water.Weishui.
