Chapter 1420: Weapons Expert
The four big men at the next table had already been eyeing his two brothers, and when they saw Chen Sole coming, one of them stretched out his finger and waved it with disdain, probably meaning not to come over, or not to look for trouble?
Chen Suole snorted, and walked over in a big way, and then sat down in front of them: "Who are you, and who is this son?" ”
"What kind of people are we, it's not up to you soldiers to manage" A big man sneered: "Listen to my brother's advice, don't meddle in things, it's useless to have too many people."
"Hey, hey, I still don't believe that there are idle things that Lao Tzu can't manage in this realm" Chen Suole slapped the table, and one of the big men was more arrogant than him: "Lao Tzu said that you really can't take care of it" said and took out a token from his arms and slapped it on the table: "Literacy? ”
Chen Suole fixed his eyes and was stunned, Jin Yiwei!
"Hmph, I'm afraid, don't hurry up!" The man sneered with disdain, Chen Suole sighed, and then took out a token from his waist and gave it to him: "Are you literate?"
A few brocade guards were stunned, and they couldn't help but say ", Dongchang's!"
And it's not an ordinary token of Dongchang, because there is a word on it, this is not an ordinary Dongchang fanzi, but the personal servant of the commander of Dongchang!
Could it be ...... A few people looked at the tea shed not far away, and a young man was talking in a low voice with a Taoist priest, not noticing this side at all.
Oops, I'll go! The water washed away the Dragon King Temple, and several brocade guards hurriedly stood up and arched their hands at Chen Sole: "Brother, don't blame, don't be weird, I don't recognize it, why are you...... Oh, yes, I just came down from the battlefield in the south, and that one over there is the Overseer? ”
Chen Suole snorted, pointed at the weak boy and asked, "Who is he?" ”
This one...... The brocade guard glanced in the direction of Chang Yu: "This person's name is Chen Yujie, and he is the person we ordered to find in Songjiang Mansion, but it is said that it was ordered by the Overseer, and we don't know what exactly happened, and the above only said that we should bring him to the capital, but I didn't expect to ......meet the Overseer here."
Oh, such a coincidence, Chen Suole hesitated for a moment and went over there to talk to Chang Yu, who was originally chatting with Li Muxian, he suddenly stood up suddenly, and then ran over directly, and those brocade guards hurriedly wanted to salute, but Chang Yu walked directly past them and walked to the young man: "Chen Yujie?" ”
The young man didn't know who he was, but when he saw that several brocade guards were going to kowtow to him, he was definitely a big official, but he didn't look like an official, but more like a little general: "The grass people are Chen Yujie, who is this adult?" ”
"Songjiang Mansion Fengxian?" Chang Yu asked again, Chen Yujie nodded: "My lord, who are you?" ”
"Xu Guangqi is your uncle, right?" Chang Yu asked again, Chen Yujie nodded: "Exactly" and then arched his hand and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Hey, I'll go, Chang Yu rushed over excitedly and hugged him and patted him on the shoulder: "Look at the dusty people along the way, those guys didn't bully you on the road."
Chen Yujie was confused and at a loss: "Uh, no, no, you are ...... this adult"
Do you know why Chang Yu is so happy? Because this young man is the nephew of Xu Guangqi, the most famous scientist in the late Ming Dynasty, and he is also an astronomer and weapons expert, when Xu Guangqi presided over the revision of the calendar, his nephew did not help less, in history he helped Xu Guangqi revise the calendar and returned to his hometown to serve his mother for more than ten years, Chongzhen was recommended by Shi Kefa in the seventeenth year as Dr. Qin Tianjian, similar to the leader of the Meteorological Bureau, and later when Shi Kefa guarded Yangzhou, he was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War.
However, Chen Yujie did not die in Yangzhou, and then the Qing army attacked Nanjing and died in a fierce battle with the Qing army in the Purple Mountain, and his servant Song Qian first collected the body of his master and went home to report the funeral, and then returned to Nanjing to return to his hometown, and then hanged himself in front of his tomb.
In the third year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1725), Emperor Yongzheng issued an edict to worship the ministers who were martyred at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Chen Yujie's eldest grandson, Chen Qicai, wrote about the martyrdom of his grandfather for the Ming Dynasty, so Chen Yujie was included in the list of martyred ministers at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
In the forty-first year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1776), Chen Yujie was given the title of "Temperance", and his family Song Qian was given the title of "Loyalty".
And this Chen Yujie is not only an astronomer and weapons expert, but also a ruthless man, when he was a teenager, his father was killed by robbers, he recruited strong men and then went to seek revenge, and all the thieves who killed his father were ended.
So such a talent, how could Chang Yu let him go, and when he went south, he asked Wu Mengming to find such a person for him, and he actually met him on the way back today.
Chang Yu naturally took a fancy to his talent in firearms, you must know that this time is a critical moment for the development of firearms, he urgently needs such talents, and before going south, he asked the Red Lady to help build the Ordnance Research Institute in order to recruit firearms experts from the Ming Dynasty to develop more advanced weapons.
In fact, at this time, the Ming Dynasty has been a global leader in the research of firearms, plus Chang Yu, a prophet who has crossed over in later generations, although he has never made a gun, but the structure of the gun is actually very simple, the difficulty is that there is no such fine lathe at this time, otherwise he would have made May Fourth by himself.
But he believed that as long as he drew the drawings, these weapons experts would be able to make him a May Fourth, or even Hanyang-made, after all, the Hanyang-made spear was not so high-tech, and it could be mass-produced at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it was mass-produced in Germany in the nineteenth century.
I have to talk to them about this matter well.
Seeing that Chang Yu knew himself well and was so enthusiastic, Chen Yujie was confused and confused, you must know that he was still living in his hometown at this time, Shi Kefa had not recommended him as Dr. Qin Tianjian, and he did not go to Yangzhou with Shi Kefa...... It's a little-known person.
"This old man is Song Qian", Chang Yu went to photograph the old man next to him after filming Chen Yujie, and the old man hurriedly kowtowed: "The little one is Song Qian, the servant of the Chen family, who has seen the official master......"
"Uh, uh, uh, this adult, you are ......" Chen Yujie felt that he was about to go crazy, and the young man in front of him looked too excited and spoke crazy, but he didn't answer his own questions.
"Uh, oh I'm the big eunuch of the East Factory, oh no, it's the overseer, my name is Chang Yu, ah, this governor Chang Yu!" Chang Yu was so excited, so excited that he couldn't speak, and even Chen Suole and other guards felt that he was crazy today, so you can imagine Chen Yujie's feelings at this time, the overseer of Dongchang, just you, just kidding, where does this person look like a eunuch, where does he look like a high-ranking and powerful eunuch, and it is rumored that he is still a god of war who kills people without blinking, but after thinking about it, he has so many soldiers around him, and these brocade guards also kowtow to him, naturally it will not be wrong, so he hurriedly knelt down:" The grass people knock on the ......"
"Get up, get up, hurry up" Chang Yu dragged Chen Yujie up: "You are the pillar of the country, they will kowtow to you when they see it in the future, how can you kneel to others."
Chen Yujie was stunned again, why did he become the pillar of the country: "Lord Overseer, the grass people have no fame, what kind of pillar of the country, only the ...... in the prison of the country"
"The people in the Guozi Prison are all a bunch of rubbish, they are not as good as your fingernails!" Chang Yu's words made Chen Yujie's master and servant stunned, but the faces of the guards were all taken for granted, although they didn't know what the young man in front of them was capable of, but the boss said that the Guozijian was a waste, then they were waste, and of course they would be waste if they didn't know anything except reading and scolding.
This is hard for Chen Yujie, he doesn't know how to answer at all, even if Chang Yu has the shadow of a big eunuch, it won't make people so embarrassed.
On the way from Jinan to the capital, Chang Yu no longer had to talk nonsense with Li Muxian and discuss Fengyue with his own guards, he was chatting with Chen Yujie all the way, chatting when he was riding a horse, chatting when he was resting and eating, and even chatting on the table, others couldn't understand it, so he listened to the two of them keep talking about guns and guns.
Chang Yu roughly drew some of the pole structures of the guns he had seen in his later life (he didn't have the ability to do that for the specific structure), such as the May Fourth style, such as the Hanyang Manufacture that took more than half of the world, and transmitted the whole thing he knew to Chen Yujie.
As a weapons expert, Chen Yujie understands it at a glance, and very accurately says the difficulties in making this kind of gun, rifling and bullets, which require some special tools, that is, lathes.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and if you want to make a gun, you must first get out of the guys who make guns.
But Chang Yu believes that he will definitely be able to make it out, and the Westerners can make a modern rifle in two hundred years without any experience, and Daming's firearms manufacturing has a deep foundation in the advanced theory and style brought by his half-hanger and the intelligence of the Chinese, I don't believe that he can't get it out two hundred years in advance, that is, he can't make the same, it's almost okay.
Two days later, at noon, Chang Yu entered Beijing from Yongding Gate, and then rode his horse straight to the palace, while Chen Yujie's master and servant followed Li Muxian and the guards to the Yamen of the Waidong Factory to rest, and then he would be transferred to the Firearms Manufacturing Bureau of the Shenji Battalion, which was the predecessor of the soon-to-be-established Ming Military Industry Research Institute.
