Chapter 94 Rome Wasn't Built in a Day
On an open space at the back of the guardhouse, a hastily built house was erected. A soldier pushed the Feilei Cannon nearby, lit the fire, ran away at top speed, and lay down on the ground with his mouth wide open. The fire flashed, and after a loud "boom", the house was completely destroyed, and even a small hill was blown out of a big hole. Wherever the air wave passed, no one could resist it. If a living thing was placed , even if you are not cheated to death, you will be shocked to death by the huge impact of the explosion.

Such a cannon is easy to manufacture and cheap, making it suitable for large-scale promotion.Of course, the unconscionable cannons of later generations use TNT, which is definitely more powerful than now, and the effect is much better.It's not that Zuo Fu never thought about making this thing, but after she tried it, she found that it was too difficult, and now there is no condition to make a large amount of nitroglycerin in a short period of time.

And even if nitroglycerin could be made, it would be self-destructive without diatomaceous earth as a stabilizer.Because this thing explodes at the slightest vibration, otherwise how could Nobel be Nobel?

Of course, among these problems, glycerin is a relatively easy problem to solve.

One is that it can be obtained from animals and plants, and the other is that when the soap is manufactured by the guard, a certain amount of glycerin will be produced during the saponification process, which can be used after purification.But diatomaceous earth as a stabilizer is more troublesome.Although it is also sold on Taobao, Zuo Fu bought some research and found that there are many impurities and cannot be used directly, which means that she must further process the diatomaceous earth, and in this way, the cost will become very high .

Although diatomaceous earth is widely distributed in China, high-quality soil only exists in the Changbai Mountain area of ​​Jilin, and these are enemy-occupied areas, so don't worry about it.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Even with a lot of materials, with few talents and few equipments, it can only make do with it.

However, the power displayed by the unconscionable cannon also frightened this group of Daming natives.After all, the gunpowder formula given by Zuo Fu was the best, and when ten kilograms of gunpowder was filled into it, the power it erupted terrified a group of ministers.

But the fear soon dissipated.Qian Qianyi and others stepped forward, looked at the small mountain bag, and exclaimed repeatedly, "With this fetish, my Ming Dynasty is safe!"

"Master Qian, the most wonderful thing about this thing is that it is easy to make. You only need iron sheets and gunpowder. This gunpowder has been improved by your humble daughter, and its power is even stronger than before. As long as we gather craftsmen and collect gunpowder raw materials as much as possible, we can defend Nanjing." !"

Zuo Dayou said excitedly: "In addition, my little girl also made a kind of firecracker, named it as a firecracker, which can be fired in rainy weather, and its range is far beyond all the present firecrackers..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and Chen Qianhu who was beside him hurriedly handed over a firecracker. Zuo Dayou took the firecracker, filled it with gunpowder, turned around and fired at the big tree in the distance, "My lord , this gun not only has a long range, but also has good accuracy. If we form a musketeer team to shoot at the Tartar leaders, it will definitely disturb the morale of the army and make them retreat in the face of difficulties!"

"Is this not affected by rainy weather? How long will it take to make one?" Qian Qianyi seemed very cautious. After all, if Zhu Cihong didn't show up, he was planning to surrender.So now he really needs to find some confidence in himself, so that his belief in maintaining the Zhu family dynasty can be firmer, and he can also leave a good name in the history books by then.

"It doesn't matter, it can be used even in rainy days."

Zuo Dayou replied: "Now the conditions are limited, if we can gather more craftsmen, we will be able to make better firearms."

Qian Qianyi nodded, glanced at Xiaoshanbao again, and smiled with a bearded beard, "The danger in Nanjing can be solved now!"

"Master Qian!"

Zuo Dayou clasped his hands and said, "I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"Uncle Dingyuan is honored as a lord now, calling himself humble is too self-deprecating, if you don't mind you and me, we will be equal."

Zuo Fu, who was standing behind Zhu Cihong, couldn't help but twitched his mouth after hearing this.You are indeed Mr. Qian who can say "the water is too cold"!That's thick-skinned enough... The dignified leader of the Donglin Party, who is 62 years old, actually called Zuo Dayou brothers and sisters.

Zuo Dayou was also stunned for a moment, and then he cupped his hands, "Brother Muzhai (Qian Qianyi's name is Shouzhi, and his name is Muzhai), the younger brother will be outspoken."

"Brother Muqing, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up."

Zhu Cihong glanced at Zuo Fu, seeing that she was also looking over, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

Zuo Fu blinked and made a helpless expression.The two of them looked at each other clearly.You can't count on the integrity of these civil servants, or they will be cheated to death sooner or later.

"Brother Mu Zhai, now that the Tartars have not yet crossed the river, I think we should immediately dispatch a large army to guard the Yangtze River. The Qing army is not good at water warfare, so we can stop it on the Yangtze River. Then we will set up various artillery along the coast, relying on firearms and the natural danger of the Yangtze River , Imprison the Qing army to the north of the Yangtze River, so that Nanjing can be defended!"

"This plan is very clever."

Before Qian Qianyi could speak, Xu Hongji answered, "Although Nanjing has high walls and strong walls, if it is besieged by the Qing army, it will be really difficult to defend the city. Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative to attack. It blocked the attack, dampened its vigor, and inspired the hearts of the people, in order to plan the Northern Expedition in the future."

Qian Qianyi thought for a while, then bowed his hands and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"I am young and have no experience in governing the country. For such a big matter, I still have to rely on my dear ministers. I would like to trouble the cabinet ministers to spend more time and discuss carefully to come up with a suitable charter."

Zhu Cihong said slowly: "It's just that there is a specialization in the arts, and all lovers need to listen carefully to the opinions of the warriors. The thing of walking on one foot in the past can't happen again."

A group of civil servants were overjoyed when they heard this.

It seems that His Majesty still trusts them quite a bit, and he delegated authority to them to deal with it. This kindness is amazing!Although I also reminded them not to restrain the generals too much, but it is only at this time that fools care about such big bosses!After all, fighting the world requires warriors, and ruling the world requires a group of literati like them!
A group of big bosses came out of the guard happily, returned to the duty room, stayed up all night, and took out a copy of the charter the next afternoon, and after Zhu Cihong approved it, he immediately announced it to the world. They became active, craftsmen rushed to Jiangdongmen one by one, and started to learn new techniques from the old craftsmen of Jiangdongmen, and the various steel products and seamless steel pipes that Zuo Fu bought from Taobao directly made these craftsmen dumbfounded .

Straight girl thief Oh!

How is such steel made?And why is there no gap in the steel pipe?

For a while, these craftsmen had their own thoughts and worked hard to please the old craftsmen of Jiangdongmen.Because in their minds, the craftsmen here must have mastered extremely advanced technology. If they please these people, they may be able to teach themselves a thing or two. In this way, will they have to worry about eating and drinking in the future?Maybe it can be passed down from generation to generation to make a name for it!

　Regarding the stalk of "water is too cold", if you are interested, you can download it on Baidu.The thing is roughly like this: Qian Qianyi, as the leader of the Donglin Party, usually appears to be very strong, and he is in love with the famous prostitute Liu Rushi, and they get married. Then the Qing army came, Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi Said, let's jump into the river and die for the country.As a result, Qian Qianyi didn't speak for a long while, and finally choked out the words "the water is too cold to jump in", which made Liu Rushi so angry that he severed ties with him.Therefore, the stalk of water being too cold has also become Qian Qianyi's personal label, and has been despised by the world.
