Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

Wang Pu called Zhou Shixian to him and asked: "Why are these last few strokes written and crossed out at the end of this account, and I look at the outrageous high purchase price of the last few purchases, such as Songjiang cotton cloth, a piece of cloth has risen thirty times at once, five hundred horses have been purchased, and it has cost 1,270 taels of silver, who dares to sell the cloth so expensive." "

"Lord Hui, this is the governor's cloth. "

Wang Pu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Thank you Lord Zhou for crossing it out, otherwise our treasury will be able to run mice." "

"These are not subordinate officials who can be the masters, but the imperial court suddenly issued five orders in a row, and half of the adults in the guard house left, and Lord Gong was even promoted and transferred to Taiyuan as a general. Zhou Shixian replied respectfully.

Clear-eyed people can see that the former commander Gong Wenda has no one in the court, and he has been calculated, the commander of the Yanmen Pass guard is a hereditary official, and the Taiyuan staff general has a higher rank, but he is a stream official, and he has been promoted from the Yanmen Pass guerrilla to the Taiyuan staff general, which seems to be promoted and degraded. Moreover, it is not thousands of times better to be a soil emperor in the guard than to be conscientious and conscientious in the big city, walking on thin ice. But Gong Wenda has read history since he was a child, and understands that all dynasties and dynasties have only been in the country for more than 300 years, and seeing the endless chaos of the people in various places, everyone can see that the time of the Ming Dynasty is running out, and it is a pity that this broken command is lost, but he can't let go of the silver accumulated by his ancestors for several generations, as long as he thinks that the mountains of silver in the treasury are going to belong to the bastard surnamed Wang, every time he is broken, he whimsically wants to move all the silver in the treasury before Wang Pu arrives, Zhou Shixian, Huang Dadou and Zhang Han naturally can't agree, people go tea and cool, even if it is a friend of the general horn from playing from childhood to adulthood, as long as it involves a strong conflict, he can only turn his face, Gong Wenda has a bit of a brain after all, take the governor's way, with this backstage, Zhou Shixian and others really loosened their tone, and reluctantly agreed to make a few fake accounts, but Gong Wenda was too greedy, and the sky-high price of fake accounts made into fools could see the problem, Zhou Shixian and others had to wait for the arrival of the new commander to think about it in the long run, and they really looked forward to Wang Pu coming forward, with the power of his Wang family, he was not afraid of the governor, and he could come forward to provoke the girder, so as to keep everyone's money in the treasury. If Wang Pu is a noodle person who can be manipulated by others, then everything will be over.

As a result, Wang Pu just

arrived at the Yanmen guard and flew head-on, blowing a cold wind outside the city gate for half an hour, I thought that Wang Pu was a noble son, long in the hands of women, soaked in the young lady's pile all day long, it was not difficult to eat, but Wang Pu was unusually violent, as soon as he came, he scared people and ran away from Master Gong, Zhou Shixian and others saw this, and immediately crossed out the fake account happily.

Wang Pu naturally didn't know anything about these details, but he vaguely understood that there was a lot of water in it, and there was a lot of trickiness, which was successfully resolved by Zhou Shixian, so his evaluation of this Tongzhi was that he was able to do things well and could be entrusted with important tasks.

At the end of the day, he handed over the official seal documents with Gong Wenda, and watched him leave dejectedly, Wang Pu officially served as the commander of the Yanmen guard, and from then on, this diamond-shaped town belonged to him.

After taking office, his first order was to beat the drums. It took a long time for the three thousand households under him to take a few hundred people to stage the battlefield, and at a glance it looked like a defeated army. It wasn't until the formation was completed that Wang Pu could see at a glance that there was a team of 100 people with a particularly large number of people, so that the formation of the whole army resembled a capital "L".

Wang Puqizhi asked left and right: "Where is the chief of this hundred-person team with the largest number of people." "

Zhou Shixian replied: "It's the one last night, Gao Li." "

"Oh!" Wang Pu's mouth was full of surprise, as soon as he took office, he fired the most loyal subordinates, wouldn't he become a faint official, his face was a little hot, and he frowned and said: "The soldiers are expensive but not many, if they are indiscriminately filled, no matter how many people they are, they may not be useful." "

"The commander Gao Jian, it must be this Gao Li who has found some people indiscriminately and wants to deceive the adults. Zhang Han said without thinking.

Wang Pu turned his head and glared at him, this guy doesn't even use his brains to pat himself, he's a waste. Gao Li has already been dismissed, where to find someone. Having said that, it would be even more extraordinary to be able to temporarily find many people to help him after his dismissal, and to have such prestige.

On the exercise ground, each 100-member team changed its formation with the banner, and it was not surprising that the 100-strong team with high separation not only had the largest number of people, but also had a more neat formation, as if they were elite soldiers standing out from the crowd and among the rabble.

"Call Gao Li. Wang Pu thought that he was tall among the short people, and finally found a talent, whether he should admit that he had made a mistake and make a gesture of a corporal of Lixian to win people's hearts. But after thinking about it, it was true that Gao Li left his post without permission, and there was nothing wrong with the punishment.

Gao Li was brought to Wang Pu by Qianhu, his body was much haggard, Wang Pu looked at this person as a talent, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and said with a smile: "This official has always had clear rewards and punishments, you left your post without permission, and you should be dismissed for your crimes, but today's drill, your soldiers have the largest number of soldiers, it can be seen that you usually cut down on food and clothing, and you don't eat empty salaries like others, and treat your subordinates harshly." The formation is the most neat, leading the troops with a hand, and being diligent in training. On merit and increase the official level. In the future, you will still be a hundred, and your hundred-man team will still be led by you. "

"Humble, lowly and deadly, you can't repay your lords. Gao Li cried with joy, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Now is the time for the country to employ people, as long as I have a heart to serve the country and be willing to work hard, I will be eclectic and reused. Wang Pu stepped forward and kindly helped Gao Li up and said with a smile. At this time, Gao Li had already snorted and cried, and he was not moved.

In the next few days, Wang Pu spent half of the silver accumulated by the Gong family for several generations, totaling more than 2,000 taels, and purchased food from all over the country for military training. But Wang Pu always felt that there was a lack of that feeling, the real army should be the kind of the People's Liberation Army, quiet as a valley, moving like thunder, 10,000 people marching only to hear the footsteps of one person, 10,000 people walking in the forest and not frightened. How to refine the army with this feeling, Wang Pu had no clue in his heart.

Little soldier Liu Yishan is really complacent these days, his parents are dead, he can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, and he has no skills, he is useless to do farm work in the field, stealing chickens and dogs all day long, idle, is a local shabby, everyone is disgusted. However, since the new commander made the adults come up with a lot of new things, Liu Yishan came to run, first with his strong comprehension, in the formation training, actually came out on top, the first to master the step by step, turn left, turn right and turn backward, so that the headache Wang Pu seemed to have found a savior, and promoted Liu Yishan as an instructor, what is an instructor, is the head of the sect, isn't it the same as Lin Chong, the two thousand people of the Yanmen guard were all shocked to see Liu Yishan, a broken household, became the confidant of the new commander, on the exercise ground, the thousand households refused to listen to Liu Yishan's orders, and looked around when standing in a military posture, Liu Yishan punished him to run ten laps around the field, The Lord of Qianhu slapped Liu Yishan several times in anger, and then commanded Lord Wang to be furious, and ordered the Lord of Qianhu to be punished with twenty military sticks. Now Liu Yishan seems to be the No. 2 person in Yanmenwei, under one person and above a thousand people. Even the rich man of the distant bark village heard about this and sent a matchmaker to find Liu Yishan to propose marriage. But Liu Yishan actually disliked people and said that he wanted to marry a girl in the city.

After that, the new commander wanted to teach the soldiers to read and write, and made 22 strange pinyin letters, Liu Yishan seemed to be a ghost, and he could hear the strange cries he made when he read the letters every morning and evening.

The new blast furnace and

iron ore are ready, this time Wang Pu decided to try the ceramic crucible steelmaking method, the reason for the previous explosion must be that the oxygen intensified the combustion, and even the furnace pressure was too high, and the mud brick blast furnace was obviously not enough to withstand such high pressure. With a giant thickened version of the tank, there may be hope for success.

On this day, the sky was clear, Wang Pu gave an order, and everyone used iron chains and winches to hang the crucible onto the blast furnace, and the furnace was full of coke at a height of ten meters, and the craftsman Lao Yang threw a torch into the furnace, and the oil was ignited.

"Push the bellows. The craftsman Lao Yang waved his hand backwards, and everyone shouted the trumpet and rhythmically pushed and pulled the bellows. After a while, the stove was scorching hot, and everyone took off their shirts and went into battle shirtless. The furnace burned for an hour, and the craftsman Lao Yang climbed up to the watchtower and stretched out an iron rod to stir the crucible, and was overjoyed, shouting: "Molten iron, there are a lot of molten iron, God, this method works, the blessing of the eight generations of ancestors." "It is a great honor for craftsmen to witness the advent of a more advanced method of steelmaking, because this technology will benefit all people.

"My lord, the molten

iron, the molten iron is out. A craftsman couldn't hide his excitement, and said in a trembling voice.

Wang Pu nodded, got up and said, "Tell that old Yang, don't get too excited and beware of falling in." Command, the last process, oxygenation. With that, he turned around and left.

"Knock knock knock...... one of his own soldiers beat the war drum, and everyone retreated back and hid in bunkers when they heard this. Only Lao Yang was reluctant to leave on the stove stand.

"Old Yang, let's go. Someone saw that Lao Yang didn't come down, so he hurriedly went up and shouted.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to look at the stove, it will be useful later. "

"You're going to die, come down. "

"I'm not afraid of death. Don't bother me, get out. "

I saw a blue flame suddenly rise from the crucible, which was weird and terrifying. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, thinking of the three flavors of true fire, some timid knelt down and kowtowed, thinking that it was immortal art. Lao Yang became a blue man by the flames, staring at the crucible motionlessly, not knowing what he saw.

I saw Lao Yang stretch out the iron rod and stir vigorously into the crucible, the blue fire rose, Lao Yang was like a fairy in it, and everyone was stunned. Only Wang Pu was unfazed and looked at this scene with a smile.

Lin Changxing couldn't help but sigh with emotion on the side: "Taoist alchemy seeks longevity, students have never believed it in the past, but today I saw this strange fire with my own eyes, and there are immortal magic in the world." "

"This is not Taoist magic, it is Mohist science. Wang Pu rolled his eyes and said, the ancients were too superstitious, and when they saw unreasonable things, they went to ghosts and gods, so the ancient Celestial Empire only had science and technology, but no science, and they didn't know what it was about the world, and their achievements were limited. Modern science originated in Western Europe, and while the white people were searching for the truth in the temple of science, the people of the Celestial Empire fell into ignorance and became slaves of the Qing Dynasty. In the various academic schools in ancient times, only the disciples of the Mo family were the closest to science, but unfortunately the Mo family died out early, and every time I think of it, it makes people sigh.

"The Mo family, the Mo family. Lin Changxing seemed to have an arrow in his head, and he took five steps back.

"Lin Changxing, what's wrong with you. Wang Pu heard the sound, and when he turned around, he saw the expression on Lin Changxing's face like a monster Godzilla suddenly falling from the sky. couldn't help but be a little worried about him, and said in his heart: "As for it, seeing science is more shocking than seeing immortal arts." "

The

molten iron poured out of the crucible condensed into a lump and weighed about a hundred catties, Wang Pu found a good waist knife, swung the knife and slashed it hard, five inches deeper, and frowned: "This iron is too soft, not good steel." "

Lao Yang stepped forward and sharpened some iron powder on the iron ingot with a file, glued some with his hands, looked at it carefully, and said: "Back to the east, this is fine wrought iron, which can make high-quality iron armor, soft iron is easy to forge into pieces, and as long as it is carburized, it will not be soft." "

"This official wants to make a fire gun, can this iron be used? "Wang Pu is more optimistic about the musketeers.

"Go back to the east, use this iron to make a cannon, but the fire gun needs steel, and then through the furnace, you can get the steel, but the furnace

still needs to be improved, the current furnace is too expensive and time-consuming, and the oxygen is not evenly filled, if the crucible is added with a cover, and then rotated with a mechanism, the effect of stirring the molten iron inside is better, and it can also save time and materials, and the steel that comes out is cheap and of good quality, but the fire gun is really a flashy thing, and the owner does not make it, it is better to make a cannon. "

"Nonsense, that's because you don't understand, so let's do it, the existing number of people, you arrange, first build a lathe, and then build a fire gun, you can build as much as you can, I will find you more silver as soon as possible, iron armor and Mo knife, no more, if there are skilled craftsmen, come to twenty sets first." But don't let that affect the progress of the firebolt's manufacturing. Wang Pu felt that the heavy infantry needed a strong physique, and the soldiers in the entire guard who could wear iron armor and wield Mo knives were only twenty people, and it was useless to build more, so they could only press the warehouse.

"Yes, host. Lao Yang sighed helplessly, and said in his heart, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you, for the sake of you to come up with a new steelmaking method, I kindly remind you that you don't listen to it.

Wang Pu saw Lao Yang's disapproving face, and said in his heart: People with ability are arrogant, have a bigger temper, and it is normal to be stubborn. This Lao Yang is the top cannon smith found by his father Wang Wei after using his authority to search the Ming Dynasty, and he has participated in the imitation of the Hongyi cannon, which can be called a national treasure, so even Wang Pu can only be cautious and courteous.
