Chapter 110 Jiao Yu "You are really my brother."
Big Fatty Wang happily clapped his hands and jumped three feet high.
"Wang Fuchen, this is a good name.
He is much more knowledgeable and virtuous than the one from Lao Lu.
Let me tell you, brother, you are the material to be the number one scholar.
That Lao Lu head is only qualified to carry your shoes."
"It's nonsense to say that this person is a Jinshi, but I haven't even found a scholar."
Liu Ziyun was very embarrassed by the praise, shook his arms, and turned around to leave.
But Fatty Wang grabbed him from behind and said in a very low voice: "If you want to go, go quickly, don't wait any longer.
I heard people say that our commander has been busy doing that in the workshop these days.
What a gun barrel.
He is not a person who cannot listen to what the brothers say.
If you have any ideas, tell him directly.
It is better than keeping it in your stomach."
"Thank you, Brother Fuchen."
Liu Ziyun thought for a while and bowed solemnly to Fatty Wang.
Since the beginning of this spring, the power of the Xuzhou Red Turbans has continued to expand, and the power of the Left Army has also followed suit.
But no matter how high the price rises, he, Wang Dapang, Wu Twenty-Er, Mr.
Su, and Yu Sicang are all one.
As long as everyone continues to stick together, no one can shake their position in the left army.
"Go quickly, go quickly, go away with your own people, not your mother-in-law and mother-in-law," Big Fat Wang waved his calloused palms and urged with a smile.
The sense of crisis is not limited to Liu Ziyun.
He, a fat man known for his broad-mindedness, has always worked hard, but in fact he is no less than others.
Not only did he put a lot of effort into the training of new recruits and auxiliary soldiers, he also became increasingly strict with himself.
Cutting five hundred times with each arm every day is the basic task.
So much so that the fleshy palm, which was originally thick and soft, is now as hard as iron plate.
With a little force, you can hold the iron pointer into a hook shape.
Liu Ziyun thanked Fatty Wang again, ran back to his team, and briefly explained the training matters to several centurions.
Then he moved his legs and strode towards the workshop.
The area where the water wheel and water hammer were first erected has been completely surrounded by Mr.
Su with earthen walls, and double wooden fences have been put up including the river channels in and out to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
Because the quality far exceeds that of similar products from other battalions, most of the armors, weapons and grenades of the Red Turban Army have now been taken over by Zuo Army's general workshops.
Every day, the entrance to the yard is crowded with warehouse managers from various camps who come to pick up goods.
They are afraid that if they are a little slow, the goods that should be given to them will be picked up by their neighbors first.
Knowing that Liu Ziyun was one of the first batch of yamen helpers who followed Zhu Bayi, before he could reach the door, seven or eight faces full of smiles came to greet him, and every face seemed to be extremely familiar with him.
Normally, he greeted politely, "Hey Liu Qianhu, why are you free to come over today?"
"Brother Liu, are you here to carry grenades today?
Can you tell Mr.
Huang to help us grab the goods of the right army more quickly?
The brothers are waiting in front to use them."
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu.
You must ask me about the iron armor.
Other people's iron plate armors are equipped to the centurion level.
Our rear army's centurion doesn't have a share yet."
"It's you, Captain Pan, who shipped the iron late.

Don't blame others."
"Didn't our Commander Pan fall ill some time ago?
Didn't you get the iron material for your right army from the Chief Superintendent?"
"" Before Liu Ziyun could take over, several young Sicangs started to undermine each other.
No one was willing to let go of this opportunity to make friends with the core figures of the Left Army, and everyone wanted to gain more convenience for their own battalion.
Hearing the noise of everyone, Liu Ziyun felt very proud.
This is Zuo Jun, the unique Zuo Jun in the entire Xuzhou Red Turban.
When fighting, combat effectiveness comes first.
When there is no war, no one can do without us.
"Definitely, definitely" Liu Ziyun agreed casually, while taking out his waistband and handing it to the soldier on duty at the door for inspection.
Then he fled into the yard, leaving all the pitiful eyes outside the gate.
As soon as we reached the edge of the river, we heard a burst of excited cheers.
Looking up, he happened to see Zhu Bayi holding a long iron pipe in front of his left eye for repeated testing.
"It's okay, it's okay.
Master Jiao's method is much better than the original one."
At this moment, Zhu Bayi didn't look like a governor at all.
He was shirtless and his face was covered with oil and sweat.
If you didn't look carefully, he looked like the craftsmen around him.
There is no difference between them.
The blacksmith who was praised verbally by him rubbed his hands nervously and responded in a low voice, "Whether it's possible or not, we have to test it with gunpowder before we can determine whether the welding gap on the pipe is too long, and I'm afraid it will explode easily."
"It doesn't matter whether the weld is strong or not, try it first and then talk about it."
Zhu Bayi waved his big black hands and encouraged with a smile.
"It's difficult to drill a pipe so long.
If the drill bit is slightly crooked, it will be completely useless.
It's not like yours.
It's completely knocked out with a stick.
It's long and straight."
"The governor is right, let's try it first and then decide whether it will work or not."
Other craftsmen in the workshop also shouted with bloodshot eyes.
Recently, everyone has been driven crazy by the issue of blunderbuss drilling.
Although there are rhinestones and drill tables to help, of the ten pipes, only two or three are often used.
And the length can only be guaranteed to be about two and a half feet.
Any longer, and the risk of wasting all your efforts will increase exponentially.
At present, the workshop is also responsible for the weapons manufacturing task of the entire Xuzhou Army.
Every craftsman is almost too busy to touch the ground, and they really can't bear the large amount of frequent rework.
Only then did Liu Ziyun realize that the gun tube held by Governor Zhu today was different from the sample made in the workshop some time ago.
The diameter of the pipe is twice as thick as before, and there are circles of obvious welding marks on it.
He quickly ran forward and shouted loudly: "Captain, please wait, this kind of pipe is not needed."
"Why, Liu?
You also know how to make gun tubes?"
Zhu Bayi was startled, glanced at him, and asked in surprise.
"General, I have mediated a lawsuit before.
When I was working for Mr.
Su, I mediated a lawsuit involving water wells."
Liu Ziyun waved his hand and explained quickly.

"Originally, the pipes of the pressure wells were cast in sections and then forged into shape.
Some people were lazy and used this pipe rolling method.
As a result, the pipes cracked on their own within a few days after the new well was installed.
When the lawsuit came to Mr.
Su, it was the general who personally mediated it for them.
Although the pipe was much thicker than this one, the principle was the same."
"You have actually seen a pressurized water well.
Where did you see it?"
Zhu Bayi was shocked and repeated with a frown.
He was not unfamiliar with the pressure well thing at all.
Zhu Dapeng often saw this object when he visited relatives in the countryside when he was a child.
It uses a simple vacuuming principle to pump well water to the ground through a special pipe, which is extremely convenient to use.
Common people usually call it Yangjing, which means that it comes from the West.
Who would have thought that as early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty, China would have the same thing?
"Of course it's in the city of Xuzhou.
Many big families have it which is convenient to use.
It can also prevent cats and dogs from falling into the well and contaminating the water."
Liu Ziyun agreed without even thinking about it.
The craftsmen around him nodded and took the initiative to testify for Liu Ziyun.
Pressurized water wells are not a new thing, and many people here can build them.
Except that the materials are more expensive and forging the pipes is more troublesome, there is no difficulty in operation.
It might just be like a waterwheel, a regional invention that has not been promoted.
Since the fusion of the two souls, Zhu Ba11 has been shocked by the wisdom of the ancients more than once, so he quickly regained his composure.
He smiled and continued: "That kind of pipe may need to be more than ten feet long.
It is still a little different from the gun tube we use.
Let's do this, Master Jiao Yu, you first make holes in the pipe, and then connect Now weld the medical pot you made a few days ago, and let’s put some gunpowder and try it first.”
"Actually, you can actually put two pipes together, then heat them red, put them on an iron rod, and then slowly beat them until all the gaps between them are gone."
He was captured along with the salt men.
The craftsman who came here, Jiao Yu, rubbed his hands a few more times and suggested with a blushing face, "We also have the kind of pressurized water wells that General Liu mentioned in our hometown.
The pipes are also set on iron rods and knocked out, but they are made of two layers stacked on top of each other.
Together.
Weld" Using the vocabulary he just learned from Zhu Bayi, he continued to add carefully, "Try not to align the welds of the two iron pipes inside and outside.
As long as the width of the iron sheets used in the two iron pipes is different, it will be fine.
The widths are different. , it is impossible to align the welds.
Then, if one is placed upright and the other is placed backwards, the two welds on the inside and outside become relatively cross-shaped and can never overlap."
Lest Zhu Bayi wouldn't understand, he squatted down and drew on the sand with his fingers as he spoke.
For the soul of the engineering geek in Zhu Bayi, it is extremely easy to understand the relative intersection of forward and reverse spin lines.
Almost as soon as you close your eyes, you can guess its specific appearance.
So he was very happy to pull Jiao Yu up from the ground and said loudly: "No need to draw, the method you said will definitely work.
Hurry up and get another tube, put it on and see.
Take the medicine you invented a few days ago The pot is also welded on, and when used later, it can be directly Just use moxa to light the gunpowder in the medicine pot.
There is no need to stuff the matchlock gun with it.
Only his grandma can call it a matchlock gun.
If you can make it for me today, I will let you make it too.
The master craftsman gets the same salary as Huang Laowai."

"Hiss" all the craftsmen breathed in unison, looking at Jiao Yu with eyes full of envy.
According to the salary standards set by Zhu Bayi for workshops, a master craftsman's salary is three times that of a master craftsman and nine times that of an ordinary craftsman.
Twenty-seven times the number of apprentices was much higher than Liu Ziyun, who led thousands of households.
Master Jiao Yujiao had only been captured by the Red Scarf Army along with the salt men for more than twenty days.
The treatment before and after the scene was simply earth-shaking Unexpectedly, Jiao Yu didn't know whether he was frightened or simply didn't know how the master was treated.
He actually squatted down again and continued to draw a sketch on the beach with his fingers, "That, that, Commander, look, you can also make a clamp head behind the blunderbuss tube, pull it up with a copper spring, and clamp the lit moxa.
It's on top.
When you need to use it, just flip the switch with your finger, and the clamp can be lowered, just letting moxa light the gunpowder in the medicine pot."
Note 1: Jiao Yu, a skilled craftsman in the early Ming Dynasty.
This was the first person to offer a firecracker to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, he was named a general by Zhu Yuanzhang.
He is the only craftsman who has been clearly recorded in history and became a general.
During the Poyang Lake battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, the firearms he supervised played a crucial role.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, someone wrote the Fire Dragon Sutra under the guise of his and Liu Bowen's names.
It describes in detail matchlock guns, mines, landmines and other items.
Note 2: The casing method is Qi Jiajun’s method of making matchlock guns.
The original article says that a single tube rolled into a single tube is very easy to burst, and the three-stage joining process is too complicated.
Only rolling two tubes and then using a long drill to drill the small hole in the middle into the gun bore is the most durable and accurate.
It is known as the "gun belly light edge".
