. Early in the morning, Ding Yunyi made an excuse, saying that the local government knew that he was coming and must ask him to inspect the place. He could not shirk it and had to go out for a day or two before coming back.
The girls knew that Wu Liebo was the center of attention wherever he went, so they didn't care.
Arriving at the place agreed upon yesterday, a group of royal guards were already ready. When Ding Yunyi arrived, Lao Ji handed him the prepared clothes.
These royal guards all wore casual clothes and dispersed out of the city without attracting attention.
A few miles outside the city, I saw Hong Tiaoyuan and several subordinates waiting for them with a group of horses. When he saw Ding Yunyi, he smiled and said: "Xiang Wen, today I have to make you my subordinate."
Ding Yunyi didn't care and laughed loudly: "I was your subordinate back then, what's the harm in becoming one again today?"
The place Hong Tiaoyuan went to was called Changping Village. It was a remote village with about a hundred people. But as soon as they arrived outside the village, all the guards in royal robes looked solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Ding Yunyi was very curious. This village didn't seem to have anything special, so why did the people of Jinyiwei become so nervous?
"The Jin Yiwei is here! The Jin Yiwei is here!"
Suddenly, someone in the village looked at the gongs and drums and made such a cry. Could it be that the people in the village had already known that the Jin Yiwei would arrive?
"Cao Cang!"
"exist!"
Hong Tiaoyuan called the general bannerman named Cao Cang: "Take seven people and try to enter the village."
"Yes!" Cao Cang responded loudly, drew his sword, ordered seven people, and galloped towards the village on horseback.
Just as we were about to approach the village, something unexpected happened.
"Boom - boom -"
Ding Yunyi was startled. This sound was all too familiar to him. This was the sound of a musket!
How come there are muskets in this small village? Is it really what Hong Tiaoyuan said? Are the people in this village ready to rebel?
The muskets roared, and a guard in uniform fell off his horse. But this was not over yet, and soon a new round of muskets roared again.
Weird! This is weird! Ding Yunyi was shocked. Judging from the sound and shooting speed of the musket, the power of the musket was not inferior to that of Taiwan!
What happened? What exactly is this place? How could such an advanced musket appear?
Ding Yunyi was greatly puzzled. At this time, Cao Cang had already retreated. Seven people left, but only three came back! Cao Cang's face was full of shame: "My subordinates are not doing well, please command and punish me!"
Who would have thought that Hong Tiaoyuan was expressionless, as if he had known all this for a long time: "It seems that the village has been prepared for it. The firearms are so sharp, so we have to find another way."
"Brother, who are the people in the village?" Ding Yunyi asked in a low voice.
"I told you, they are traitors." Hong Tiaoyuan snorted coldly: "We have sent people here for more than ten days, but out of the eleven people, not one of them came back. This time I mobilized the Jin Yiwei in large numbers.
They did not escape and surrounded this place in order to drive out this group of traitors!"
Rebel? What kind of rebel? Ding Yunyi was puzzled. He had fought many bandits, but he had never seen any muskets used by rebels.
But I know that even if I ask again, Hong Tiaoyuan will definitely not tell the truth...
Hong Tiaoyuan suffered a setback in the first battle. However, he was not worried. He had already sent people to surround the place. The people of Changping Village could hardly fly even if they had wings.
In one day, Hong Tiaoyuan attacked several times in succession, but each time he was shot back by the village's muskets, and several of his men were killed instead.
But as more and more Jinyi guards arrived, Ding Yunyi knew that the village would soon be breached.
The sky was getting dark, and all the exits in the entire village had been completely blocked. Hong Tiaoyuan called Ding Yunyi aside: "Xiang Wen, you have also seen that the firearms in this village are sharp. If we attack by force, the casualties will be huge.
You have fought against the Taixi people countless times in Taipei and are the most experienced in dealing with firearms, so I want to hand over all the Jinyi Guards to you to command them tomorrow."
Ding Yunyi finally knew why Hong Tiaoyuan invited him here.
Indeed, I had fought many battles with the Westerners in Penghu, Taiwan, and knew how to deal with firearms. As for these Jin Yiwei, hunting down and arresting people was their specialty, but they had no experience at all in competing with firearms.
Besides, they are not professional soldiers, and no one is more familiar with the battlefield than themselves.
After thinking about this, Ding Yunyi became more and more curious about the secrets hidden in Changping Village: "Since the elder brother has given you such an order, I have no reason not to obey it. But those who use the army must be familiar with the weather, time and place. What is the situation in Changping Village?
, Big Brother, do you all know?"
Hong Tiaoyuan shook his head: "Changping Village is very guarded, and we don't know exactly what is going on inside..."
Ding Yunyi nodded and whispered a few words in Hong Tiaoyuan's ear. After listening, Hong Tiaoyuan said: "Third brother, although it is feasible, it is too risky, isn't it?"
Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "I don't care among thousands of troops, how can I still be afraid of a small Changping Village?"
...
At night outside Changping Village, all the torches were lit.
Suddenly, there was a cry of killing, and then a figure stumbled and ran wildly in the direction of Changping Village, and behind him were seven or eight people from the Jinyi Guards chasing after him.
"Help me, save me!" The man shouted loudly as he ran towards Changping Village.
Gunshots were heard again in the direction of Changping Village.
The Jin Yiwei who were chasing behind them immediately fell down.
Seeing the man being chased rushing into Changping Village, facing the power of the musket, the angrily Jin Yiwei did not dare to continue talking, and could only look at Changping Village ahead...
...
The person who was rescued by the Changping villagers called himself Ding Yuanxuan. When the village chief came and asked what happened, Ding Yuanxuan looked panicked and seemed to be very scared: "I offended the Jin Yiwei and was arrested by them. I heard they said they wanted to conquer this place.
Then take me to the capital. You killed many of them today, and they were in chaos. I ran out while they were not paying attention..."
"I think you were not caught by them." The village chief sneered a few times: "You were a spy sent to our village by them!"
At this word, the black muzzles of several muskets were pointed at "Ding Yuan"!
The village chief's guess was correct. This person was indeed the one who came to the village to spy on the truth. However, the village chief never imagined that this spy would turn out to be a world-famous person:
Ding Yunyi!
Being pointed at by several guns, Ding Yunyi did not panic. Instead, he became curious about the guns they held. The muskets used by these people looked different from the muskets of the Tiger Guards.
"Is that so?" The village chief suddenly raised his voice.
Ding Yunyi didn't say anything. Suddenly he took off his shirt unexpectedly.
When they saw his upper body clearly, the people in the surrounding villages suddenly exclaimed.
His body is strong, but there are many wounds. Some of the wounds are old wounds. But some wounds are obviously recent, and some wounds are oozing blood.
Ding Yunyi showed them, then slowly put on his clothes and smiled bitterly: "Is there anyone in the world who is such a spy?"
One sentence silenced everyone. Yes, if this person was really a spy, how could he have hurt himself so much? If this was true, then this person must be crazy.
The village chief was still a little confused: "I saw many old wounds on your body at night..."
Ding Yunyi sighed and said: "I have been fighting with the Jin Yiwei for many years, and I was almost caught by them several times. I always escaped with injuries."
The village chief was completely relieved: "I wrongly blamed you, those damned guards!"
Then he patted Ding Yunyi and said, "Although our Changping Village is also in danger, as long as the Jinyi Guards don't come in for a day, you will be safe here."
Ding Yunyi nodded silently.
"Village chief, what happened?" At this time, a man of about thirty years old came over.
"Ah, it's Mr. Jiao." When the village chief saw this man, he was very polite. He briefly explained Ding Yunyi's situation, and then said to Ding Yunyi: "This is Mr. Jiao Xujiao. He came to Changping Village last year.
Yes, everyone respects him."
"Mr. Jiao." Ding Yunyi greeted.
Jiao Xu? Why does this name sound so familiar?
The village chief did not notice the change in Ding Yunyi: "These muskets in our village were all made by Mr. Jiao Xu with us..."
Musket? Jiao Xu? Suddenly Ding Yunyi knew who he was and almost screamed out!
Jiao Xu! The most famous firearms expert in the Ming Dynasty!
He was a native of Ningguo, Anhui Province. He witnessed the government's government, lax armaments, and the disasters suffered by the people, so he "daily studied the generals' strategies, visited strange people, consulted the Western Division, and even more deeply understood their own situation, the pros and cons of events, and
"The changing times". At the same time, he was the disciple of German missionary Tang Ruowang. Based on the cannon-making technology dictated by Tang Ruowang, he adopted "the gist of famous books, the secrets of teachers and friends, and the hard-earned accidental gains, eliminating the complex and simplifying it.
Delete the facts and explain the details, and compile it into "Huo Gong Qi Yao".
"Huo Gongji Yao" was written in the 16th year of Chongzhen. It is divided into two volumes, the upper and lower volumes, and is accompanied by one volume "Huo Gongji Yao". "Huo Gongji Yao" is also called "Ze Ke Lu", with a total of about 40,000 words.
The book mainly introduces gunpowder, Western artillery and the manufacturing and use methods of various firearms, involving metal smelting, mechanical manufacturing and mathematical and physical chemistry knowledge. It reflects that after the introduction of Western advanced firearms technology into China, Chinese firearms technology began to evolve from Yin Yang and Five Elements.
The overview of the shift from the old nest of theory to a new track that combines qualitative and quantitative analysis is a sign that Chinese firearms have entered a new stage of development.
God, oh my God! I made the right decision to venture into Changping Village this time. Otherwise, all the people in the village would be killed, and a master of firearms like Jiao Xu would also die with them. Then "Fire Attack"
"You Want" will never have a chance to come out again.
This man cannot die no matter what. He must take him to Taiwan no matter what. No matter what he must...
Ding Yunyi quickly made calculations in his mind. When Jiao Xu saw his expression was different, he asked with concern. Only then did Ding Yunyi come back to his senses: "Ah, it doesn't matter, I was running a little hastily just now... Mr. Jiao developed firearms."
, it’s admirable, I think we can stop the Jin Yiwei with these muskets..."
Jiao Xu shook his head: "I have been here for a year. According to the method taught by my teacher and my own improvements, I have made a total of about twenty muskets. Unfortunately, the space is too small, otherwise I would have made more...
....But with these muskets, although I can barely resist the enemy for a while, sooner or later this place will be breached, hey..."
Oh my god, you actually made more than 20 muskets here with the strength of one person? I'm convinced, I'm convinced! Ding Yunyi asked someone to borrow a musket, looked at it, and couldn't help blurting out: "Send the gun?"
Mom, I set up a firearms bureau in Taiwan and worked hard to create the Suifa gun. But here, in a small village, more than 20 Suifa guns were made with the strength of one person.
With such a treasure in front of you, you must not let it run away!
Jiao Xu's eyes lit up, and even his voice became trembling: "You, do you recognize this gun? I modified it based on the original Taixi musket, and named it 'Swift Gun'. I should
I was the first to create it, but I didn’t expect it to have existed for a long time.”
There was frustration in his voice, and Ding Yunyi couldn't laugh or cry. Brother, yes, there is, but it was made by me, a person from another era, who organized a lot of manpower and material resources. What do you have to be frustrated about?
Furthermore, although the French gunsmith Charrick Morse Mahan made the pistol before you did, he only made it with the support of the King of France, and was later forced to stop it.
manufacture.
But you, brother, relied on your own strength to create it in such a small village with such primitive conditions. You are much better than the Frenchman Ma Han.
At that moment, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Jiao, I don't know if the Suifa gun I mentioned is the same as your swift gun. Sir, don't worry about it."
Jiao Xu said anxiously: "I didn't expect that my brother also knows about firearms. Why don't you come with me to the smelting workshop in the village and have a look, so that you can give me some suggestions so that I can make corrections."
Ding Yunyi had long wanted to open his eyes and said without any politeness: "Sir, please lead the way."
While leading this stranger who had just entered the village towards the smelting workshop, Jiao Xu asked, "What do you think of firearms?"
Ding Yunyi thought for a moment and said: "Although firearms are sharp weapons to defeat the enemy, they must be made properly and used properly before they can truly be effective. If they cannot be made and cannot defeat the enemy, then hundreds of weapons cannot be used as one weapon."
When Jiao Xu heard this, he was overjoyed: "Brother, I really understand the essence of using firearms. In just a few words, I can tell you how to use firearms. I have a confidant, I have a confidant!"
He was ecstatic here, and Ding Yunyi also said silently in his heart:
I got the baby, I got the baby! (This site...your support is my biggest motivation.)
