Qian said that he didn't eat pork and saw the pigs that were asking for run away. He was really worried about Huoxiang's words, and Qiao Da and his men were still explaining stupidly.

"Sir, when this cannon is pushed, it is indeed placed on this wooden box. Before firing, the wooden box must be buried with soil and fixed with ropes and wooden nails."

Wang Tong was confused and waved his hand to shut up. He took a pointed wooden stick and drew it directly on the ground. In his memory, this kind of artillery from the Middle Ages should have a big iron wheel, and there was an iron frame on the iron wheel. When setting up the cannon, the tail of the iron frame was placed on the ground. When moving, the iron frame was flattened and pulled away with a horse.

He painted and explained there, and Qiao Da and other blacksmiths in local workshops were all amazed. Bean, Carlos and Asero were beside him, his face was pale.

Before he finished speaking, this: I had already knelt down and kowtowed there repeatedly. This sudden behavior made Wang Tong stunned, but he did not ask the reason. He turned to ask the people in the workshop and said:

"I have said that artillery needs to be tested and tested. Have you done all this?"

Tan Huo is a sturdy man, but he spoke first:

"Ask the master, I've tried it. Before firing the cannon, I used a log thinner than the cannon to push it into the cannon, and it was all the way to the end, without any obstacles. These three cannons were fired more than ten cannons, which was very smooth."

Use a log with a diameter of about the same thickness as the diameter and stretch it into the bottom to detect whether the barrel is straight and whether the interior is smooth. This is related to whether the barrel will explode. If more than ten guns are fired, it means that the gun will not have too many problems.

Hearing this promise, Wang Tong turned to the three foreigners and said:

"What are you kowtowing for!?"

Unlike the contempt and ignoring foreigners in this era, Wang Tong is still wary of these people. Whites are respectful when they are not as strong as they are, and when they are over, they immediately become evil wolves.

So he had to ask his family what was wrong with this, and then he asked the foreigners the next moment. Aserro kowtowed on the ground and said in a crying voice:

"Master, the young artillery master only saw the master doing it when he was in the Franchise machine, and did not participate. He only learned it after coming to Tianjin's firearm workshop. The big master said that only the real master's firearm master can do it, but the young people don't understand. If he really does it, it will probably delay the work of the adults."

Jitong was shocked and turned to look at Qiao Da. Qi Da shivered all over and hurriedly turned around and asked a craftsman:

"Qi Zhuzi. Didn't you say that this cannon is good, better than your firearm workshop? Why are these three ghosts here to cause trouble? This is your sin!!"

The craftsman's face turned dark and suddenly became purple after saying this. He looked at the three foreigners, then looked at Wang Tong and the fully armed warriors behind him. He immediately called injustice and said hurriedly

"Shopkeeper Qiao, Master Wang, this cannon is indeed good. It turns out that the official yard has made such cannons. If the army wants it, it will have to add more money. Eunuch Lu is very careful. After making it, Eunuch Lu will always point it and put it alone. If each town comes to the market, it will clearly mark the price."

Tan Huo nodded and said:

"The cannon is good, I heard from Qiao Da. I have made these three balls now. I thought only one cannon could be used, but I didn't expect that all three balls would be so good."

Wang Tong was a little confused when he heard this. These three foreign craftsmen had learned how to cast cannons only when they came to Tianjin Craftshop. Seeing that the three were not very talented people, why did they build good cannons?

It seemed as if he heard Wang Tong’s question, Carlos kowtowed and said tremblingly

"No one advised me after the workshop on Eunuch Lu was finished, and I was careless when I was doing it. The three of them were watching closely, and they didn't dare to relax from selecting materials to pouring them later. It was naturally good to do it. Others were confused. As long as they made a cannon, even if they were piled in the warehouse, no one would care about it when they went out, so they would deal with it in sloppy."

Three high-necked and deep-needed foreigners were there in Mandarin with some accents saying that the work in Guanfang was not careful and randomly dealing with it. This felt that it was so weird. Wang Tong turned his head to look at several craftsmen from Guanfang. These people coughed a few times naturally, lowered their heads or turned their eyes away.

Wang Tong felt uncomfortable, and Chen Zhuo said:

"Qi Zhuzi, are these three people telling the truth just now?"

"That's the case when it comes to the master. However, if you give less money, you won't pay it, and it's tight. Anyway, things will be made, and everyone will care whether it can be used."

The more you talked about the voice, the more it was not a glorious thing. The chill on Wang Tong's face gradually became heavier. Finally, he sighed and turned to the three foreigners and said:

"Stand up, and keep a close eye on everything from beginning to end in the future. Remember everything you make, and remember what kind of man made it. If these weapons and firearms are broken, if they have broken their arms on the battlefield because of a bad weapon, the person who made this weapon will break their arms and die on the battlefield.

The voice gradually became higher, and Wang Tong looked around. Every craftsman he saw lowered his head, and Wang Tong's voice became louder:

"Jiao Da, you are the head, come and watch this matter. If the person below you breaks his hands, feet and head, do you think you can be safe?"

Qiao Da shuddered, knelt down in a hurry, and kowtowed and said loudly:

"Please rest assured that the youngest will definitely watch out for the scene for the master, and there will be no leakage of arsenic."

The craftsmen around him did not dare to continue standing. They all knelt down and did not have quality inspection production. What would be bad things? What were the weapons and firearms that were of great importance to life were produced here, and they could not be careless. Wang Tongyangchan said:

"Have you ever received a little less of what you should get here? Did you never have enough food for that meal? Since I am worthy of you, you should also be right to take the right one. Get up and prepare!"

Everyone stood up tremblingly. Wang Tong turned his head and whispered to Cai Nan:

"Write the things I just said as rules. Read them to everyone in this workshop to let them know the rules, and also let them know the power of the rules.

Cai Nan nodded respectfully, and Wang Tong said to the three foreigners standing there to calm down: "You can't make it, everyone who can make it is there. Could it be that you want to go to Franji?

Just now, these three foreigners were vaguely complimented in Wang Tong's words," and all of them became much wider. When they heard Wang Tong's question, the answer was Bei An. He was extremely respectful and said:

"When I say to the master, there are also craftsmen who can build the artillery that the master said. There are also small Franchise troops stationed in Macau, and some craftsmen come with the army or migrate. Many of these people are skilled craftsmen

In Macau, Wang Tong lived there and learned the blacksmith craftsmanship there. When he mentioned this place name, he also pondered.

When he left there, he was still Xiaoqi's son. His expectations for the future were only to make a living. Now his status and status are different. Tan Huo had already begun to command the soldiers and began to be pragmatic in the cannon chamber. Wang Tong took two steps, pondered for a while, and stopped and asked:

"How long does it take to go to Guangdong and Macau in Tianjin? Do you have to go to Nanzhili to go out to sea

Zhang Shiqiang, who had always been silent, stepped forward and said:

"As these days, I have inquired about the matter on the Haihe River, and many ships there came from the south. If the sea route is smooth and suitable, I will need it for four months.

Wang Tong followed his father back to the capital at that time and headed north on the canal where he changed boats in Nanzhili. The time was almost the same. He nodded and said:

"Tonight, I'll invite the boss Gu of the warehouse to come. He should have had a deal with people at sea. I'll ask him some things to do."

Zhang Shiqiang bowed and agreed, and Wang Tong then walked to the cannon. Compared with the cannons seen in various media in that life, the cannon was simple and crude at this time, but it was still the most powerful weapon of this era. Wang Tong stroked the cannon body with his hand.

Qiao Da followed behind him and said:

"Master, these three cannons are all four-pound cannons. It is the first time that the small one has built this thing. But the door can sound and the inner chamber is smooth."

Sixteen taels per pound, four pounds are almost seven pounds, and the cannon body is probably two meters long, so Wang Tong unconsciously converted it into modern units.

"How far can I hit?"

"Follow the charge, there are eight hundred steps and nine hundred steps."

Qiao Da was familiar with these numbers. Wang Tong quickly answered every question. Wang Tong kept muttering about what comparison numbers seemed to be making.

There were three cannons there, and the soldiers tamped the shells inward with wooden bearings. Tan Huo stabbed into the fire door with a long cone, and then carefully guided the lead in.

After all the preparations were completed, Tan Huo sang to Wang Tong and said:

"Please come and light the cannon."

Someone handed Wang Tong a thin iron rod with a wooden handle. The iron rod was burning red in front of it. Wang Tong took the iron rod and walked towards the lead, whispering:

"It's almost done"

The leads start to burn quickly.

,,

On the 16th day of June, Wenyuan Pavilion, the imperial city of the capital.

"Why didn't you see Lord Shen? You've arrived long ago."

"Have you heard that the Qingke Yang Sichen had any connection with Qin Niang in his mansion? If it's a matter, maybe I'm embarrassed to come."

The conversation was so excited that he heard a clear voice. The two of them looked at each other in the voice. However, they were the Grand Secretary and Minister of War Zhang Siwei, who was nodding at this side with a smile.

The two of them dared not say anything again, thinking that Lord Zhang is really protecting his accomplices, and the little eunuch outside reported that Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Ge were here
