Chapter 8 Dongning Shenlei
The temptation to make money was too great, and the greedy Zheng Cong knew very well that he was reluctant to let his children get caught by wolves. He borrowed a little bit from east to west, and added up with the deposits he had collected from the people over the years, and barely managed to scrape together 10 taels of silver.
Zheng Cong kept this matter very secret and kept it under wraps. His good brothers Zheng Ming, Zheng Zhi, Zheng Rou and others were all kept in the dark. Presumably after they knew about this, they would definitely turn against Zheng Cong.
Zheng Kezang is also happy to see the success of this matter. These people are the murderers who will murder him in the future, and it will be more conducive to breaking them down if there are conflicts among them.
However, if his youth battalion takes shape, if these jumping clowns make any moves, they will be shot in line and sent to see Emperor Yongli, and then slowly repent in the underworld.
Holding the [-] silver sent by Zheng Cong, Zheng Kezang was very happy. With the first bucket of gold, many things can be easily solved.
"Li Banban, put the money into my internal money. Without my approval, no one else is allowed to touch my money, even my grandmother." Zheng Kezang seriously explained to the old eunuch Li Zhongjie.
"Slaves understand." To be honest, Eunuch Li was very surprised. He was also a veteran of Ming Zheng, and it was not that he had never seen money. He was just amazed that this young man in his teens could earn so much money.
Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, as expected of descendants of Lord Guo Xing, who are ready to do great things at a young age.
"As long as you can understand, I will give you a task, so and so." Zheng Kezang straightened up and whispered to Old Eunuch Li in a low voice.
A few days later, in a secret firearms workshop in Dongning Mansion.
As the name suggests, Mr. Su looks very mature. He is only 35 years old, but he looks like a 50-year-old man. His native place is Foshan Town, the iron capital of the empire, and he has lived in Guangzhou for many years.
Su Laocheng is not born mature, he is just a troubled person with a hard life.
Both his parents were killed by Qing soldiers, in the siege of Guangzhou led by Shang Kexi in 1650.
"Guangzhou City Chronicles-Religious Chronicles" mentioned: "In the seventh year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army attacked Guangzhou, and 70 people died. The rest of the ashes will be buried together and erected a monument."
After the death of his parents, he fled back to his hometown of Foshan Town, and lived a life of a firearms craftsman in a muddle.
Twenty years later, his wife and children fell in the San Francisco Rebellion, and once again became the ghosts of the Qing army.
This is why he is so old at only 35 years old. His only hope in this life is that King Yanping's army can use the firecrackers and artillery made by him to end the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
In the timeline when Zheng Ding did not cross over, Xu Guoxin was still there, and he voluntarily joined the Ming Zheng army and went to the front to resist the Qing army.
In the end, the ship he was on was surrounded by the navy of the Qing army, and he, who would not surrender to the death, fell into this small strait.
The shroud of horse leather is a kind of salvation for Su Laocheng, because he doesn't have to witness the Hushan of the Qing Dynasty polluting the last pure land.
Returning to reality, just a few days ago, it was rumored that the Yanping Palace wanted to recruit skilled firearms craftsmen, and that they were directly under the supervision of the State Supervisor, with good remuneration.
As an old craftsman in Foshan Town, Su Laocheng is still a little confident in his skills. He himself has a blood feud with the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't it be beautiful to use what he has learned all his life to serve the country.
As far as this Foshan Town is concerned, it was really famous in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
"The iron-producing area in the world is better than Guangdong, and the iron smelting industry is better than Foshan." During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Foshan iron smelting was once famous all over the world, and Foshan ironware was also exported to the east and west. wok.
Now that the iron smelting industry is well developed, firecrackers and artillery can't escape.
Foshan made firearms at the top in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the Ming Dynasty made a joke because of Foshan.
The Chongzhen Dynasty once bought Folang cannons from the Portuguese in Macau. As a result, the cannons sold by the Macau people to the Ming emperor used Foshan's cannon-casting technology and Foshan craftsmen.
Using Foshan Town’s cannon-casting technology and the cannons produced by Foshan craftsmen as original imported goods, it should be considered as export to domestic sales. Presumably, the Ming officials who facilitated this business probably did not take less kickbacks.
In the past few days, old eunuch Li has been a little worried. Zheng Kezang has been acting frequently these days, and he even ordered him to gather a group of craftsmen, not knowing what to do.
At first, he thought he was just going to set up a firearms workshop to produce the ordnance needed by the youth battalion, but he didn't expect that Zheng Jianguo would actually go to the workshop to tinker with it himself, and the Yanping Palace wanted to be a carpenter's son.
No, Zheng Kezang, who had just returned from the military camp and was still sweating, led the craftsmen headed by Mr. Su, working there in full swing.
"Old Su, show me all of you, I will only perform once." Zheng Kezang said, pouring the white sugar he brought into the iron pot made in Foshan, and began to heat and stir fry.
Lao Su and other craftsmen next to him are a little confused. They are not cooks, so what are they doing to show them how to copy sugar? Could it be that you want them to be royal cooks?
While frying, Zheng Kezang suddenly poured in a pile of black gunpowder, and repeatedly talked to them about the ratio of sugar and gunpowder. Old Su didn't realize it for a while, thinking: His Highness Jian Guo is going to poison the Qing army. Well, it doesn't look very useful.
After frying, Zheng Kezang smelled it, it was a little sweet, authentic sugar-coated shell raw material, perfect!
After the preparation of the sweet gunpowder, Zheng Kezang recalled the method of making the simple wooden handle grenade given to him by the system, and then showed the real technology.
This grenade with a wooden handle is also a coincidence. Zheng Kezang once saw it in the war game "Battlefield 1". In the real World War I, this is a simple weapon made by the French army themselves.
Not long after the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, mobile warfare turned into rigid trench warfare. France and Germany hurt each other on the Western Front. Ammunition consumption was huge, and logistics could not always meet the needs of the front line.
In this case, the French army began to make a wooden handle grenade by themselves using small parts commonly found in trenches.
Because of its brush-like appearance, the French army called it a "hair brush".
The basic structure of a grenade is a comb-shaped wooden board and a metal cylinder filled with explosives. The metal cylinder is tightly bound to the wooden board by thick iron wires, and a fuse is attached to it.
In order to enhance the fragmentation ability of the grenade, the French army will also drive iron nails into the wooden boards or directly tie the nails around the metal cylinder with iron wire.After the fuse is ignited, the explosive will be detonated within 5-7 seconds, so the French soldiers have enough time to throw the grenade out.
Facts have proved that although not as iconic as the famous German wooden handle grenade, these simple wooden handle grenades provided French soldiers with a simple and effective means of killing during World War I. After all, a person with a hand can do it. A large amount of grenades is still very good.
It is worth mentioning that another reason why the simple wooden handle grenade is widely used by the French army is its wooden handle structure.
In fact, at first the French army made this kind of grenade with a wooden handle purely for the convenience of holding it when using it. I did not expect to find that the throwing distance and throwing accuracy of this simple grenade are better than their oval grenade, and this is a wooden handle. The advantages brought by the principle of leverage.
This simple wooden handle grenade really needs hands. After some operations, Zheng Kezang made a finished product under the eyes of everyone who didn't know. It is made of hay, but it is simple and practical.
In order to increase the lethality, Zheng Kezang nailed a lot of iron nails on the wooden boards.
"Everyone, let's go outside and find a place to try whether my Dongning Shenlei works well." Zheng Kezang ran out the door while talking, and everyone saw this and quickly followed.
