Thank you for the invitation. I am in the Ming Dynasty and swear not to be an official!

Chapter 58 One hundred guns are freshly released
After many days of trekking, Liao Tiancheng and his party finally arrived at their destination.

That is what I call my fiefdom, Yinmagou.

The scenery in this place is pretty good.

The terrain is open, and a tributary of the Heihe River flows through here, but this river is not called Heihe, but Yinmagou.

Before the war, people lived here, and you can still see some collapsed stone houses.

But as a frontier place, as the place where Liao Tiancheng will live next, this location and environment are really cheating.

Because the surrounding area is too open, it is very suitable for the Yuanren cavalry to play.

The [-] Forbidden Army are all infantry. Although they have fire guns, they can only be accurate within a range of twenty or thirty steps. At this distance, the war horses will fly over in the blink of an eye.

In this situation, if a large group of Yuan people really attacked, the entire army would really be wiped out.

Fortunately, when we left Shaanxi Province, we took a lot of supplies from the Qin Palace, and now we can immediately put into construction.

As for what to build, it would naturally be barracks, trenches, or even fortifications.

Although Zhu Di was the emperor, he was relatively easy-going with the soldiers. Not only did he work with the soldiers, but he also provided food and drink to people from time to time. He didn't seem to be deliberately trying to win over him, but this kind of approachability from the heart was the most attractive.

Within a few days, the favorability of these [-] forbidden troops soared towards Zhu Di.

Coupled with this guy's identity, now that he says to go east, these forbidden troops will never go west.

Liao Tiancheng observed secretly and was secretly amazed.

To be honest, based on historical experience, Zhu Di is a reliable person and will not kill heroes when he becomes successful.

Liao Tiancheng was actually a little moved, thinking about making friends earlier.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive now. It is taboo for the King of Sai to interact with the ministers in the interior. Now he has the title of commander of the capital. If he dares to flirt with the vassal king, something will happen sooner or later.

"Oh, I just want to make money in peace and quiet, why did I get involved in officialdom and was sent to this place! If I don't enter officialdom, I don't want to think about what will happen in the future. How many emperors will change and do my stupid thing! "

As he thought about it, Liao Tiancheng felt a headache.

Once you enter officialdom, you can't help yourself.

If you take sides, you will be unlucky, and if you don’t, you will be unlucky. It’s so difficult!
"Uncle Guangfeng, I am building trenches, and you have the nerve to watch like this?"

King Yan worked for another long time and was almost exhausted. When he looked up, he saw Liao Tiancheng looking at the sky in a daze, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

Liao Tiancheng opened his mouth and was about to argue with him when he heard a noise behind him. When he looked back, he saw hundreds of people pushing carts towards this side. Some stones could clearly be seen on the carts.

The dark color of the stone was the iron ore that Liao Tiancheng urgently needed now.

Then Liao Tiancheng laughed: "King Yan, my job has come!"

Zhu Di was curious, so he wiped his sweat and followed him to see what was going on.

These ores were obtained from Geng Bingwen, the Right Prime Minister, when passing by the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

Geng Bingwen said that Zhu Yuanzhang had sent someone to say hello in advance and would try his best to meet all his needs. He should also pay attention to the situation in the Yinmagou area at any time and be ready to send troops to protect him at any time.

Therefore, Geng Bingwen did not hesitate to ask for Liao Tiancheng's strange request for ore and directly asked someone to send it over.

"Liao Tiancheng, what do you want these stones for?"

"King Yan, I want to burn some iron for use."

"Iron? You brought a hundred blacksmiths here to strike iron? You are so busy! How convenient is it to buy it directly?"

Zhu Di curled his lips with disdain.Liao Tiancheng smiled and said nothing, but immediately asked the blacksmiths to start smelting iron.

In the past few days, Zhu Di led people to build the fortress, and he asked the blacksmiths to repair the blast furnace early, waiting for the liquid to start as soon as the stones arrived.

The fire burned until midnight, and the iron ore was gradually burned into juice. It must be said that these one hundred blacksmiths were all good at work, and they were meticulous even in the middle of the night.

Seeing that it was about to enter the forging stage, Liao Tiancheng gathered the people together.

"Everyone, who participated in making the fire gun?"

The blacksmiths all laughed because they had all done this job before.

Liao Tiancheng also smiled: "Then I will teach you a unique skill today! Come on, please look at the picture!"

The drawings of the Three-Eyed Bird Gun were spread out, and a hundred craftsmen took turns to look at them.

Many people saw the extraordinary and were amazed.

"Everyone, do you understand? Do you see how this drawing is different from ordinary fire guns?"

The blacksmiths had different opinions, but they all agreed.

Liao Tiancheng finally concluded: "Compared with the previous fire blunderbuss, this new three-eyed bird blunderbuss needs to make the muzzle into this arc shape, make the charging area thicker, and make the fire After installing the door cover, the most important thing is the wooden horse inside, which must be installed in place!"

After listening to Liao Tiancheng's summary, everyone already knew what was going on and were eager to try it, preparing to make one overnight.

But Liao Tiancheng made some additions.

"Everyone, based on this drawing, I have thought of some improvements!"

"On top of the blunderbuss, make something for me to aim at!"

Liao Tiancheng said, placing two stones on the ground.

"You may have ideas about the aiming device, but today I am going to tell you the most basic and important issue!"

"Look, these two stones, one is equivalent to a soldier's eye, and the other is a aiming device. As long as these two are in place and the ammunition is fired, it will be easy to hit the enemy on this line!"

"So, when you make this part, please refer to this point. If anyone makes it particularly useful, I will personally reward you in the future!"

Everyone was extremely surprised and felt that they had learned another trick, so they made grinding tools overnight and began to build a three-eyed bird gun. At the same time, they were all wondering what the sight should be made and where it should be installed.

The whole night, Yinmagou was filled with the sound of clanging iron.

Zhu Di and the Forbidden Army were as tired as dogs during the day, and slept like crazy at night, but they were not affected.

But Mao Xiang secretly peeped and secretly asked several blacksmiths. After learning that Liao Tiancheng had actually improved the fire gun, he immediately sent a secret report to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After dawn, Zhu Di still led people to work, and Liao Tiancheng also got up early to see the progress of the blacksmiths.

Many blacksmiths are already polishing muskets, and those who are slower are not much slower.

By noon, one hundred bird cannons had been made, with each craftsman's name marked on them.

"Thank you for your hard work! You go and have a rest first. I'll give King Yan a try! Don't worry, everyone, even if they are poorly made, there will be benefits! You follow me, as long as you work hard, I will never let you suffer! "

Originally there was a blacksmith who was worried that the fire blunderbuss he made would not work well and would be punished for it. However, after receiving his guarantee, everyone suddenly felt relieved and found a place to fall asleep.

Liao Tiancheng went straight to Zhu Di, preparing to recruit 100 people to test the skills of these guns.
