Chapter Fifty-Seven: Foreigners Come to Negotiate
Hong Xuanjiao didn't want to think about it, and rolled her eyes: "Wang Feng, although I don't know why you know so thoroughly about things like mini guns and rear-loading rifled guns, but I know that asking is also asking in vain, now I can tell you unceremoniously, you are a typical bite to eat and become a fat man!"
You yourself said that it is more difficult to load the rifled gun on our terms, so why not get the Minnie gun out first, even if you think there are such and such shortcomings, but at least it can be on par with the foreigners' firearms, right? You have to be clear that the foreigners and the Qing demon are mixed together, and sooner or later they will interfere with us, it is an imminent threat, with the Minnie gun in hand, you can also have a little more certainty of fighting with the foreigners, as for the rear-loading rifled gun, you will think about it slowly when you have time! ”
Sheng Xuanhuai also taught an old-fashioned lesson: "Sister Xuanjiao is right, "History of the Song Dynasty, Taoism Biography I, Cheng Hao Biography" has a cloud: sick scholars are tired of humility and proximity, and they are lofty, and they are unsuccessful."
Sheng Xuanhuai was shaking his head and shaking his head triumphantly, and Wang Feng had already glared at him fiercely: "Has the essay been written?" More than five mistakes: Don't eat tonight! ”
Sheng Xuanhuai stuck out his tongue in fright and retracted his head, Wang Feng changed his face and smiled at Hong Xuanjiao: "Sister Xuanjiao, then you have to trouble the female soldiers tomorrow to exchange some lead and tin with the people in the city with food, or buy it with silver, and then recruit some blacksmiths and potters, I will start working on the Minny gun tonight!" ”
"Good! I'm going to see dinner, I've eaten early, and you'll get to work early! Hong Xuanjiao seemed more anxious than Wang Feng, and walked out in a hurry.
After a while, a simple meal was brought in, and a hasty meal was eaten, as usual, it was to stand on the pile for an hour, Hong Xuanjiao and Sheng Xuanhuai also accompanied Wang Feng to stand, although due to the heat ~~ weapons gradually became popular, the importance of martial arts has declined, but Wang Feng does not despise martial arts because of this, a good kung fu is sometimes more useful than firearms, of course, being hit by a missile can only consider himself unlucky!
Soon, an hour passed in a hurry, and after Wang Feng assigned Sheng Xuanhuai the homework of reciting two hundred words and ten plane geometry, he began to study the mini gun under the gaze of Hong Xuanjiao's beautiful eyes.
In fact, the technical difficulty of the Mini gun is not great, mainly two steps, one is to change the flint fire to a fire cap fire, Wang Feng has thunder ~~ mercury acid in hand, and has done full passivation, safety and stability have been guaranteed, with Wang Feng's current conditions, the copper fire cap can not be done, can only make a paper fire cap, the other step is to carve rifling, Wang Feng called many people to watch.
Engraving rifling is a kung fu work, in the absence of a lathe, can only be carved by hand, the prerequisite is to have a carving knife or scraper, which also needs to be made on site, a combination of carving and forming knives is too time-consuming, Wang Feng is ready to hand over to the craftsman to do in the future, he spent two hours to make a single carving knife.
I have to mention the quality of the barrel of the British, which can be cut directly with a carving knife when unloaded, until near the second half of the night, a four-rifled rifled barrel was finally available, but how effective it was, it had to be made of bullets to verify.
"Okay, starting tomorrow, you will first take some old barrels to practice, carve out three rifling, twenty knives per rifling is considered to be passed, and now they are all scattered!" Wang Feng waved everyone away, put his burning gaze on Hong Xuanjiao, and said with a smile: "Sister Xuanjiao, let's go to sleep too." ”
"Humph!" Hong Xuanjiao blushed and snorted softly: "Wang Feng, you are getting more and more out of the city now, and you want to find a woman, then, there are many girls in the city!" As he spoke, he took a gust of incense and flew away.
"Hey~~ You are a full man, you don't know how hungry you are!" Wang Feng couldn't help but think of Fu Luanxiang, Sister Fu was gentle and considerate, lying in Sister Fu's fragrant arms and falling asleep, obviously enjoying it supremely, but the current situation in southern Jiangsu has just opened, and the next thing will inevitably be a fierce battle, he doesn't want to involve Fu Luanxiang in the war, or wait.
Wang Feng shook his head and left the room
Early the next morning, Hong Xuanjiao arranged for people to collect lead and recruit blacksmiths, and handed over the production of mines and grenades to Lu Dayou, and some careful soldiers were practicing carving the barrel of the gun.
In fact, the first thing he thought of was the generator, but Hong Xuanjiao's admonition reminded him that his strength was too weak, so what could he do if he did the same? On the contrary, the advent of advanced technology only enlightened the Western powers, whose strong industrial base and strong scientific and technological talents could not be estimated.
At this stage, you only need to keep pace with the West, develop and expand yourself, and when you have an industrial base, the moment of accumulation will come!
"Shi Shuai, Shi Shuai, the Qing army is here, under the east gate!" Wang Feng was about to draw a steam engine blueprint first, when Ding Daquan had already waved his arms and ran over.
"Oh? Let's go check it out! Wang Feng put down the pen and walked away quickly.
"Wait for me!" Sheng Xuanhuai immediately got up and followed.
When rushing to the head of the city, Hong Xuanjiao had already arrived first, and about three or four miles below the city, thousands of Qing troops were gathering, including some foreigners.
Hong Xuanjiao's face was a little heavy, and she said coldly: "I can't imagine that we will hook up so soon, Wang Feng, how long will it take for your Mini gun to be ready?" ”
"Sister Xuanjiao, don't worry!" Wang Feng waved his hand: "Foreigners are also people, without advanced weapons, they are nothing, and foreigners are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't look at them too terrible, in fact, it should not be us who are anxious, but Xu Naizhao, he lost the grain camp, not to mention whether the Qing court will be guilty, at least he has to consider how to get through the current difficulties."
If he wants to replenish grain and grass weapons from the water, the prerequisite is to recapture Songjiang County, if he is often collected from Su Xichang on the spot, there is a danger of being robbed of grain by our army, and there is also a knife club in Shanghai, which will break through at any time, all kinds of unfavorable factors are superimposed, Xu Naizhao will inevitably be in chaos, he is likely to take the initiative to attack with all his might, and the defender of the city naturally has an advantage, even if there is the assistance of foreigners, what can it be? As for the Mini gun, now everything is ready, only bullets are owed. ”
"Oh~~" Hong Xuanjiao felt very reasonable, and her mood calmed down.
Sheng Xuanhuai asked: "Since the Qing army is here to attack the city, why don't you bring artillery?" Do you want to take the city with just an infantry army and a few guns? ”
Wang Feng said lightly: "The foreigners are the most hypocritical, pay attention to declaring war, pay attention to salute first and then soldiers, at present, Britain, France, the United States and other countries have not declared war on our Taiping Army, so it should not attack the city directly, but negotiate with us first, and then start after the talks collapse." ”
Sure enough, not long after Wang Feng's words fell, a few people walked out of the Qing army formation and slowly approached the city.
Sheng Xuanhuai's eyes were different when he looked at Wang Feng, this was like a god, and he hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked down.
Wang Feng didn't use a telescope, although he was still one step away from the dark energy, his eyesight had been greatly improved, and he could see objects three or four miles away without pressure, and after those people walked out of the military formation, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's an old friend here." ”
It turned out that a total of eight people came, five foreigners and three Qing officials, whose Chinese Xian and Alice were Wang Feng's old acquaintances.
