Xu Jin entered Nantou City accompanied by Wang Hong, the deputy envoy of Haidao, but saw that the streets were full of ordinary people, one by one standing on tiptoe and stretching their necks, the purpose was to see the demeanor of the governor, but there were exceptions, at this time there was a pair of hateful eyes in the crowd, staring at Xu Jin surrounded by a group of officials.

This is a middle-aged man, about 40 years old, the coarse cloth shirt he wears has been washed white, and the cloth shoes on his feet can also see traces of sewing.

At this time, Xu Jin had already walked away, the people on both sides of the street dispersed one after another, and the middle-aged man instantly lost his hatred, and a young man next to him who was also dressed in shabby clothes patted him on the shoulder and said: "Old Mo go in, don't stick to the pillar, there is still a lot of work to do in the kitchen, and the shopkeeper should scold people later." ”

After the young man finished speaking, he quickly slipped back to the restaurant behind him, and the man surnamed Mo also staggered back to the door of the restaurant, and it turned out that his left leg was actually lame.

Just as the middle-aged man was about to cross the threshold, a loud noise suddenly came from the northeast corner of the city, shaking the ground, and the middle-aged man fell into a big fart in response.

The people on the street were obviously frightened, and fled in panic with their heads in their hands, thinking that the Westerner fleet was attacking again, because Nantou Castle had also been shelled by Westerners before.

"Enemy attack, protect your lordship!" A group of pro-soldiers and Jinyi guards hula stepped forward to protect Xu Jintuan.

Xu Jin was also taken aback by this loud noise, but he immediately calmed down, because the Westerners had only been beaten by themselves not long ago, not to mention that his fleet was stationed in the port outside Nantou City, and the sea was well guarded, so it was impossible for the Westerners' ships to touch the range of artillery.

Xu Jin looked up at the northeast corner, and saw a large canopy of yellow smoke rising into the sky, so he pointed and asked, "Deputy Envoy Wang, what kind of place is there?" ”

Wang Hong's face changed slightly, and he blurted out: "It's the Weapons Field!" ”

Xu Jin chuckled in his heart, so it seemed that nine times out of ten, the firearms in the armory field had exploded, looking at this movement, it was estimated that the loss would not be light, and he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go over and take a look." ”

Xu Jin was worried about the explosion of the Franc machine gun, and he originally planned to let the craftsmen with the army study whether there was a remedy after entering the city, and he would definitely borrow the weapons workshop in the city at that time, but he didn't expect that when he entered Nantou City, the weapons workshop in the city was also blown up, what a fuck!

Just as Xu Jin and the others were walking towards the northeast corner of the city, Mo Cripple, who had fallen, also got up, stretched his neck to visually inspect the position of the yellow smoke rising, and suddenly his face changed sharply, and he limped to the northeast corner of the city.

A man dressed as a shopkeeper rushed out of the store in a hurry, poked his fingers and scolded: "Mo lame, where the hell are you dead?" Hurry up and wash the dishes for Lao Tzu, the guests are waiting to use it, ouch...... You're still running, there's a kind of don't come back to Lao Tzu's work! ”

"Phew, there's really a kind of dead lame, why don't you fall to death!" The shopkeeper ran away without looking back when he saw Mo Cripple, and returned to the store angrily.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty's control over firearms is quite strict, and under normal circumstances, firearms can only be manufactured by the Third Bureau of the Central Committee, but if the weapons field of the local guard post is authorized by the Ministry of War, firearms can also be manufactured, for example, the garrison of the nine-sided town has the right to cast artillery, and the general local guard can only do some simple maintenance work. Firearms such as expendable ammunition, mines, and 10,000 enemies can be made at will.

There is an armory yard in the northeast corner of Nantou City, which is dedicated to building and repairing weapons for the defenders here, as well as some consumable firearms such as mines, 10,000 enemies, flowering bullets, and solid bullets.

Not to mention that Xu Jin and the others rushed to the northeast corner of the city, they saw smoke from a distance, the air was full of choking smell, and even their eyes had a tingling sensation.

"It's not good, it must have been blown up by 10,000 enemies, this thing is poisonous, Dashuai should wait for the smoke to clear before going over." Wang Lin'er hurriedly said.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly covered their noses and stopped to look away.

The shape of this thing is a large black sphere, which contains hundreds of pounds of gunpowder, as well as arsenic, sulfur, lime and other toxic substances, and is only wrapped in a layer of grass and mud on the outside, and then packed into a wooden frame, which may explode in case of open flames or violent collisions. And looking at the situation in front of you, it is very likely that the 10,000 enemies in the armory field accidentally exploded.

After about a cup of tea, the yellow smoke finally dissipated, and everyone approached to take a look, only to see that the row of houses in the armory yard had collapsed several times, only the remnants of the broken walls, rotten bricks and broken tiles flew everywhere, and from time to time there were painful moans and coughs from the ruins.

Xu Jin hurriedly ordered to save people, and soon seven or eight survivors were rescued, and two bloody bodies were also found. Wang Hong stood in front of a corpse and mourned: "Ma Bantou! ”

Xu Jin asked, "Deputy Envoy Wang, is this person the head of the armory field?" ”

Wang Feng nodded and said, "This person's name is Ma Huoqing, and he is indeed the head of the armory field, and he is also the most skilled old craftsman here!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, okay, even the technical experts are hanging, what a fuck.

"Help!" There was a sudden cry for help from the ruins, Xu Jin listened carefully for a moment, pointed to the pile of broken bricks and tiles high, and said: "Down there, open quickly." ”

After Xu Jin finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to move bricks, and when the officials saw that the governor had done it himself, who dared to be on that pillar, they also rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to help. As the saying goes, there is a lot of strength in numbers, and the piles of bricks and tiles were quickly removed, revealing a thin figure underneath.

When everyone looked at it, they all gasped, and saw that it was a thin young man who was pressed underneath, and there were two beams just crossed above him, which just supported an extremely narrow space, and the young man curled up under this space and survived.

"This kid has a big fate!" Jinyi Wei Baihu Han Dajie couldn't help but sigh.

Jin Yiwei carefully lifted the two beams, and Zhao Datou reached out and brought the young man below, muttering how this kid is as light as grass straw.

"Ah, it hurts!" The young man who was picked up like a chicken by Zhao suddenly screamed.

Zhao Datou was startled, and hurriedly put the person on the ground, the young man was holding his right arm with his left hand, shivering in pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Xie Erjian reached out and touched the young man's arm, and suddenly slapped it hard, only to hear a click, the young man immediately stopped shaking, and slowly sat up, trying to shake his right hand.

Cen Lan smiled and said, "Little brother, your hand is just dislocated, and it is not broken!" ”

The young man suddenly said with a happy face: "Great, my hand is not ...... Ahh ”

The young man was suddenly stunned, and looked at Xu Jin in amazement. ()
