Borrow the day to change the day

Zhong Jinwei didn't know that Song Yingxing was inspired to invent high-power lenses because he just took a trip to the Glass Research Institute.

Early the next morning, he came to the admiral's yamen of the Beijing camp to work.He was going to plan that the new army now had flintlock guns, and after a period of training, let the death camp test the effect.

Unexpectedly, before his butt was hot, he heard that Gundesa, the instructor of the New Army Artillery Battalion, came to see him.

Zhong Jinwei was a little surprised why he came looking for him. Could it be that he was shocked by the flintlock and came to compliment him?

He couldn't help laughing when he thought about it. Without artillery, it doesn't mean that he can be idle. Has the basic content been taught?

Zhong Jinwei decided to teach him a lesson and let him do his job in peace.You know, under the new iron mold casting method, the artillery will be completed very quickly.

Gondeza went to the lobby and saluted with a new style of military salute: "Subordinate Gondsa has seen Lord Marquis."

Zhong Jinwei didn't look up, but still looked at the plan on the case and asked, "What can you do with me?"

Gondesa didn't care much about Zhong Jinwei's reaction, Master Hou had a lot of things to do, so it was good to meet him in his busy schedule.

"Master Hou, the new army's flintlock gun is really good. It is absolutely powerful on the battlefield. It really opened the eyes of the subordinates!" Gondesa showed sincere admiration on his face.

This made the guards on one side secretly happy. In the past, the firearms had to be imported from Frangji, but now they admired the firearms of Daming. It was really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Zhong Jinwei heard that Gundesa was too busy to panic, and even ran over to flatter him.Although he listened well, there was not enough time to chat and fart.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei raised his head and said with a slightly cold face: "You came to me just to boast about the flintlock?"

Gondesa is also a smart person, seeing that Zhong Jinwei doesn't seem to be very happy, he quickly explained: "Master Hou, the main reason for coming to see him is to make a suggestion."

"Oh?" Zhong Jinwei put down his work with great interest when he heard it, looked at Gondsa and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for improving this flintlock?"

When Gondesa heard this, he shook his head again and again and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood, the flintlock is perfect, and my subordinates have no objections."

Without waiting for Zhong Jinwei to ask again, he immediately went on to explain: "The artillerymen trained by my subordinates are also training the use of flintlock guns. Do you have a different view on this?"

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, it turned out that he had a problem with the artillery training flintlock.It seemed that he had misunderstood him, so Zhong Jinwei encouraged Gundesa and said: "If you have any opinions, let's listen to them. It doesn't matter if you are wrong."

When Gondesa heard this, he was still a little nervous and settled down. He immediately replied to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Hou, my subordinates believe that the mission of artillery is to shoot cannons. Cannons and flintlock guns are long-range firearms with powerful functions. Repeat, there's not much point in training artillery with flintlocks?"

Zhong Jinwei frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "If the enemy rushes to the artillery position, then let the enemy slaughter it?"

Gondesa shook his head and said, "Of course not! I have seen a weapon called a three-eyed blunderbuss in Shanhaiguan, and I think this kind of firearm is very suitable as a self-defense weapon for artillery."

Hearing what he said, Zhong Jinwei suddenly realized in his heart that he was obsessed with the flintlock before and did not consider other weapons.

Even though he thought so, he still asked, "How can you see it?"

Gondesa stood upright, and under the watchful eyes of the guards of Marquis Zhongxing, he answered Zhong Jinwei confidently: "The advantage of the three-eyed gun is that it can be fired three times in a row or single-shot after loading, which can effectively stop the enemy from attacking." Close. The only disadvantage is that the shooting range is too short and the accuracy is not high. But this shortcoming is not a shortcoming for artillery. Because only when the enemy rushes to the front, the artillery can use the three-eyed gun, so it will not be affected by this Weaknesses affected."

Zhong Jinwei nodded again and again, and praised: "That's right, it makes sense."

When Gondesa heard this, he became even more excited, and continued to add: "After firing three shots, the three-eyed blunderbuss can still be swung up and used as a big stick, and it can also be used to fight the enemy."

"Okay, good, good!" Zhong Jinwei said three "good" words in succession, and he said to Gundesa with satisfaction: "That's right, as far as your suggestion is concerned, I will credit you. I will immediately ask the Bingzhan Bureau to transfer a batch Three-eyed blunderbuss, replace the flintlock in the artilleryman's hands."

Gondesa smiled when he heard it, and not only accepted his suggestion, but also made a credit for it.Immediately bid farewell to Zhong Jinwei and went back to the camp happily.

Zhong Jinwei looked at the back of Gondesa going out, thought for a while, turned his head and asked the guards on the side: "You should be much more familiar with Daming's firearms than a Portuguese. How come he has discovered this problem, so why don't you?" No one reminded me?"

Whether it was his entourage or the Dongchang fan, after hearing what Zhong Jinwei said, they all blushed and did not dare to look at him.

"Gu Baotou, aren't you usually very shrewd, can't you see it?" Zhong Jinwei asked directly by name.

Gu Baichuan raised his head embarrassingly, looked at Zhong Jinwei and said, "Master Hou, this subordinate thinks Master Hou must have deep meaning in doing this."

Zhong Jinwei was speechless when he heard it, and he dared to feel that it was because he usually performed too well.

He was silent for a while, then called all the guards in front of him, and then said sincerely: "Actually, I am also a mortal, and it is impossible for me to have a perfect plan for everything. Even if it is Zhuge Liang, no matter how powerful he is, he will lose the street. time. Therefore I ask you..."

Zhong Jinwei looked at the familiar faces, looked at the astonishment in their eyes, and continued: "If I have done something that is unreasonable, or if you think it is wrong, you can bring it up to me. As for whether to adopt it, it is up to you." Look at the situation at the time. This will help me fill in the gaps, understand?"

Shangguan suddenly made such a request to his subordinates, which was something they had never heard of.Therefore, although they were familiar with Zhong Jinwei's personality and knew that this was not hypocritical, they still agreed in a vague way.

Zhong Jinwei was very dissatisfied, and asked loudly again: "Do you understand?"

The guards had seen too many conversations between Lord Hou and the new army, and when they heard Zhong Jinwei's loud questioning, they finally replied loudly: "Understood!"

Zhong Jinwei nodded, that's about the same.

I didn't invite staff, and I didn't like those staff in ancient times who had nothing to do with me.So use these guards who get along with you day and night as staff officers, and if necessary in the future, set up a staff office.

Zhong Jinwei thought of this, and when he was about to praise them for their answer just now, another yamen servant came in and reported: "Master Hou, some military leaders have come outside, and they are said to be under Master Hou, and they have completed their tasks and returned to report."

Zhong Jinwei was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't seem to send any troops out to perform tasks?He immediately asked, "How many people are there?"

"Only thirteen cavalry pawns." The yamen servant replied, and then added, "It seems that they have traveled a long way."

"What's the name of the leader?" Zhong Jinwei vaguely knew who it was, and immediately asked again.
