    Four million taels of real gold and silver was spent on military expenditures, and the effect is naturally extraordinary. In just one month, three places in Erhai, Chuxiong and Xinxing (now Yuxi) in Yunnan built three buildings at lightning speed.  Similar to the firearms production base at the Nule Peak Camp¡ªoh no, it should be called the Sun Dianying Cement Production Base now. Under the guidance of skilled technicians trained at the Nule Peak Camp, they are desperately making coke, smelting iron, burning cement, and burning glass.  While distilling sulfuric acid to refine nitric acid, the production process is simple and relatively safe. There are also nitroglycerin and Sanhao brand safety explosives, which are not as complicated as there are, and Sanhao brand safety explosives. In addition, the original missiles are produced according to strict specifications, casting  The Red Barbarian Cannon, the war machine of the Pingxi Palace, provides war resources in an endless stream.

    Of course, while guarding Yunnan and Guizhou to prevent the chieftains in the country and Annan in Myanmar outside the country, if we want to provide enough troops to ensure the safety of these three new firearms camps, in addition to these three camps, Wu Sangui's army has to  To provide manpower and military protection for the two new cold weapon forging workshops, so the 17,000 troops on the surface of the Pingxi Palace alone are definitely not enough.

    But the good thing is that our Lord Pingxi has never been very honest in this regard. Almost none of the soldiers who were disarmed twice in the 17th year of Shunzhi and the 4th year of Mazi left Yunnan.  The largest source of reserve troops, and these veterans are rich in experience, and after a little retraining when they are brought back, they will immediately become the main force of Wu Sangui's subordinates.

    In addition to the previously abolished veterans, another important source of Wu Sangui's reserve force is the children of the Pingxi Palace.  It has reached hundreds of thousands. These young people of Pingxi Palace have followed Wu Sangui's army in the South and North Wars since they were born, and they have been familiar with the military affairs for a long time. They are the best and most reliable reserve soldiers.  With more training, you can become a strong army in no time.  Now that Wu Sangui had made up his mind to defend himself, the second and third generation children of the Pingxi Palace naturally had a place to use their talents.

    In addition, there is another little-known fact that Wu Sangui also has a non-staffed army with no formal organization but super combat effectiveness.  With more than 5,000 people as the core, this army can be expanded several times in an emergency. It is good at using giant swords and earth cannons as weapons, and likes to wrap its head in white cloth. It is known as its bravery and invincibility in battle!  In history, he followed Wu Sangui from Yungui to the Hunan battlefield and Pingliang, Gansu, and made great contributions to Wu Sangui!  In the case of actively strengthening the armament, Wu Sangui naturally had to work hard on this powerful army for great use.

    (Note: The â£â£±ø is by no means a fiction. Historical materials clearly record: "Qing Ma Zu Veritable Record", "Ming Dynasty Barnyard History Compilation", "Continued Yunnan Tongzhi" and "North Korea Li Dynasty Veritable Record. Suzong". The sound is the same as the fruit  .)

    So, under the instigation and guidance of Fatty Lu, who likes evil tastes, Wu Sangui drew out the long-reserved grassroots general talents from the main force, and used them as the backbone to bring the old to the new, and established the urban management team, security team, and military team of Pingxi Palace.  A large number of semi-militarized organizations, such as caravan protection teams, demolition teams, and security patrols, have expanded their troops by nearly 10,000 people in disguise, quickly filling the vacancies that Wu Sangui's army urgently needs, and taking the opportunity to train them strictly so that they can come and come.  Those who can fight, those who can fight can win!

    The heaviest task is of course the Nule Peak camp that Fatty Lu is directly in charge of. After doubling its size again, the Nule Peak Camp will not only provide technical and talent support for the three newly built firearms camps, but also need a steady stream of resources.  Continuous development and improvement of firearms production technology.  Especially the safe production technology of nitroglycerin, which made Fatty Lu worry a lot of gray hair. In the end, after more than a dozen production explosions, Fatty Lu remembered the fact that copper and sulfuric acid do not easily react, and racked his brains.  Only then did I figure out a safer production method.

    Fatty Lu¡¯s new method is to put the copper container behind the flowing river water, use the running water to cool the container to produce nitroglycerin, and pour the nitroglycerin into the river to avoid explosion in case of danger, which greatly reduces the production cost of nitroglycerin.  risk factor.  However, considering the production cost, technical difficulty, complex process and risk factor, after high-level consultations in the Pingxi Palace, the plan to use Sanhao brand safety explosives as the main gunpowder was finally abandoned, and it was changed to one with lower cost and easy production.  Sanhao brand nitrocellulose, Sanhao brand explosives took a back seat, and were decided to be mainly used for mountain blasting, as well as for attacking fortifications on the battlefield¡ªthat is, the famous tunnel blasting city wall tactic.  This tactic had been used by Kong Youde as early as the Songjin battlefield in the late Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui's army was very familiar with it.

    With the four major firearms factories operating at full capacity to produce new types of gunpowder at the same time, the problem of raw materials has once again become prominent.??Because Governor Gan¡¯s previous actions had already alarmed the enemy, Wu Sangui¡¯s thieves at the Nule Peak camp had already removed most of the evidence.  A musket mold that was not destroyed in time.  There are also mountains of black coking coal, raw cement and finished products being calcined, semi-finished colored glaze, and a very small amount of cotton with unknown uses.  ,

    On the same day, Governor Gan ordered the entire camp to search for a middle-aged scholar named Sun Dianying, but found nothing. It is believed that this mysterious scholar named Sun Dianying had already fled in advance.

    In the early morning of the next day, Wu Sangui's army of 1,000 light cavalry, led by Wu Sangui's second son, Wu Yingqi, arrived at the Nule Peak Camp and asked Gan Wenkun to leave the Nule Peak Camp, claiming that the Nule Peak Camp was just an ordinary construction site for calcining cement and colored glaze.  , black gunpowder is used to make firecrackers, solid iron bullets are used for solid land, musket molds are made by craftsmen privately, and fire dragons are semi-finished products¡ªthis kind of weapon is not prohibited.  As for the newly cast Hongyi cannon salvaged by Governor Gan, the second prince Wu Yingqi insisted that it was not owned by his own army, let alone that the cannon came from the Nule Peak camp.

    After a fierce dispute, because there was not enough evidence to prove that the two red barbarian cannons came from the Nule Peak camp, and considering Wu Yingqi's murderous aura, Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty, chose to withdraw temporarily, withdraw from the Nule Peak camp, and send the two  Men Hongyi's cannon and some of the criminal evidence found were escorted by heavy soldiers, and escorted to the capital to present to the emperor.

    On the night of the same day, Wu Sangui, Prince of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, impeached Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, to frame him out of thin air, and claimed that the two red barbarian cannons were old objects from the Ming Dynasty.  If you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!)
