He knew in his heart that his wife probably wanted to go out to play, or she wanted to stay with him...

But those two things are really not suitable for Dong Shuzhen to do!

"Madam, your current task is to protect the home and prevent any bad people from breaking in..."

Zhu Xiuyuan grabbed Dong Shuzhen's two slender arms with his backhand and shook them: "With you at home, my father-in-law and I can rest assured. Madam, do you understand?"

"Zhen'er, don't cause trouble!" Dong Shuyu stepped forward and showed her sister's majesty.

"Well..." Dong Shuzhen drooped her big head, her face was gloomy, and she said pitifully: "I know..."

At this time, Chunxue had brought Dong Yi and Dong Er.

Dong Yi and Dong Er are the stewards of the mansion. These two guys are good at doing evil things. Zhu Xiuyuan remembers that the first time he entered Dong's mansion, these two guys knocked him on the sap with a big wooden stick...

It is precisely because of this incident that Dong Yi and Dong Er have always been afraid of Zhu Xiuyuan.

Because Zhu Xiuyuan's status in Dong's mansion is no longer the same as before.

"The eldest lady, the second lady...my uncle...I wonder what the younger ones...do you want?"

Dong Yi bowed his head and spoke intermittently, while Dong Er was arrogant and respectful, with a face full of flattery.

"I have two things to leave to you respectively. These two things are very important. They are related to the life and death of Jiangzhou and the safety of Dong Mansion..."

"I discussed it with Shuyu and found that you two are trustworthy, so I decided to leave these two tasks to you. Do you have any opinions?"

Zhu Xiuyuan said calmly.

"willing!"

Dong Yi didn't even think about it.

"Young men are willing, as long as my uncle can use it, feel free to do it!"

Dong Er hesitated for a while and asked: "But my uncle...those two matters are related to the life and death of Jiangzhou and the safety of Dong's house. They are so important. You guys...are afraid that if you don't handle them well, it will delay your uncle's important events."

…”

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this. Since I have chosen you, I am sure that you are qualified for the job!"

After hearing what Zhu Xiuyuan said, Dong Yi and Dong Er had no reason to object.

Then he went out with Zhu Xiuyuan.

...The two new places have been found and vacated as required.

Other tasks ordered by Zhu Xiuyuan, such as collecting various craftsmen from all over the city, finding bamboo, etc., have all been completed.

It's just for Zhu Xiuyuan to take charge of the overall situation and decide what to do next.

First, Zhu Xiuyuan named two new places.

The first place was named "Bronze Work".

The second place is named "Shen Lei Zuo".

In addition to the "Menghuo Oil Workshop" that was already in "operation", Zhu Xiuyuan has already established three workshops.

The output of these three workshops is important.

It is of great significance to the battle to defend Jiangzhou!

Nowadays, Zhu Xiuyuan has a large amount of fierce fire oil in his hands, and has also developed a weapon such as the "Fierce Fire Oil Urn".

However, the fierce fire oil urn is a bit crude. It is just a clay pot and can be filled with fierce fire oil.

It's just a low-level use of fire oil.

Zhu Xiuyuan knew that there was a way to use fierce fire oil that could be called "advanced".

That's the "fierce oil tank"!

The fierce fire oil tank is similar to a bellows. Just push and pull the handle, and a long fire dragon will be sprayed out from the nozzle. The fire dragon will fly continuously and cause a lot of casualties to the enemies under the city.

It can be called a weapon for defending the city!

This fierce fire oil tank is not an exquisite thing. According to official history, before the emergence of muskets, as far back as the Song Dynasty, fierce fire oil tanks were already installed in large numbers in various armies.

Therefore, it is feasible to build a high-fire oil tank with today's "technical means"!

Therefore, "Bronze Work" was born.

More than ten days ago, among the 10% tribute obtained in exchange for the plague prescription, in addition to the 200,000 stones of grain, there was also some copper and iron materials, which were counted as extras.

However, these additions are all fine materials carefully refined by Chen Guo craftsmen.

Because the first thing to pay tribute to the Liang Kingdom is the quality, especially the copper and iron materials, which are the raw materials for making weapons!

This batch of copper material can be used just right to build a fire oil cabinet!

Although the fierce fire oil tank is not a delicate thing, its internal structure cannot be imagined out of thin air.

In Zhu Xiuyuan's previous life, he watched a documentary on Beep.

Specializes in ancient weapons, focusing on chariots, swords, crossbows, swords, cavalry, guns, halberds, hooks, spears, bright light armor, divine arm bows, iron pagodas, strike weapons, cold forged armor, wolf swords, etc.

Japanese swords, swords, Huanshou swords, Tang Hengdao, bows, spears, crossbows, fire weapons, pear spears, swarm of bees, Lumi guns, etc.

Among them, the "Fire Attack Weapons" section includes an introduction to the fierce fire oil tank.

There are pictures, diagrams of its internal structure, its operation methods, and the effects it can achieve, etc.

Zhu Xiuyuan touched his chin, recalling one by one, all kinds of scenes were still before his eyes.

At this point, the pattern of the fierce fire oil cabinet was available, the copper materials were available, and the coppersmiths who knew how to make copperware were available.

But there's still one thing missing.

That is - gunpowder!

In the use of fierce fire oil tanks, gunpowder actually exists as a "consumable".

Place the gunpowder near the nozzle, and when you push or pull the lever of the oil tank, a small amount of gunpowder will fall into the nozzle.

Because the nozzle had just sprayed the fire dragon, the temperature was high enough to ignite the gunpowder.

When the gunpowder burns, as the oil tank pull rod is pushed, part of the hot oil will be drawn out of the oil tank and sprayed out through the nozzle.

When it is sprayed out, the fierce fire oil happens to meet the fiercely burning gunpowder.

The two phases combine, and the burning gunpowder ignites the burning oil.

So the fierce fire oil sprayed out will turn into a fire dragon.

If the fierce fire oil tank is well-made, the fire dragon it spits out will be several feet long. If it is placed on the city wall and equipped with a steering mechanism, it can spray the fire dragon at will below the city.

The fire of fierce oil is difficult to extinguish once it is touched.

Moreover, the fire dragon sweeps away a large area continuously, which can be called the "Maxin heavy machine gun" among fire attack weapons.

This is really a good thing!

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan could not care about the subsequent impact of releasing "that beast" from the fence. Now that the enemy was attacking the city and there was no support from the rear, Jiangzhou could only rely on itself.

The garrison of Jiangzhou was already sparse, with only a few thousand men, and they could not afford to die against the Yan army.

The Yan army has 50,000 troops, and Jiangzhou cannot afford to waste them.

Then we can only work hard on weapons.

This is a matter of life and death, and maybe one step too late may be fatal.

That's why Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't care so much and resolutely let the beast "Gunpowder" out of the cage.

No matter how many things there are, let’s defeat the Yan army first.

However, since this gunpowder has been produced as a "by-product", its value can actually be "developed" again.
Chapter completed!
