Lu Haoshan was not surprised to learn about this result. In fact, as long as Lu Haoshan expected, Deng Yan and Wang Pu would contribute to it, and secondly, the court was too poor and could not afford to make ends meet. In order to save expenses, the palace expenses were repeatedly reduced, and he was willing to withdraw a batch of inns for money.↖

The famous Eight Kings of Xiying were originally a small postman, but Chongzhen smashed his job and then turned against him in anger.

For a team without people and combat effectiveness, the Ministry of War was willing to let it leave the battlefield because it could save a lot of money and food. Deng Yan and Wang Pu were involved in it, and the approval speed was extremely fast. It was approved in just three days, which was very fast.

In order to facilitate the war, the Ministry of War sent a specialist to supervise the war in Wu'an, and the procedures did not have to go through the lobby of the Ministry of War.

There is no need to alarm the great men of the Ministry of War for a small family.

On October 27, a horse team was driven from Zhending Mansion to the direction of Sichuan in the cold. Wherever this team passed, it always made people feel a complicated mood: only by looking at the scale, a team of thousands of horses was vast, and various horses and carriages formed a team of more than two miles long, which was amazing. This horse team was officers and soldiers. These officers and soldiers were high and often harmed the people. The people resented them a lot, but this group of officers and soldiers made people unable to complain to them. They were injured one by one, and they were said to have been injured during the suppression of bandits. In the horse team, there were also newly built coffins, all of which were full of the corpses of the dead.

This battle is really speechless, and many people have complex feelings.

This team that makes people feel complicated is the soldiers of the Wenchong Qianhu Institute led by Lu Haoshan. The Ministry of War has not approved it yet. Lu Haoshan guessed that this result was that he asked his soldiers to prepare early, but in fact he was not prepared. The gold, silver and wealth were almost taken away by Wang Puquan. In addition to taking away part of the remaining food, all the remaining food was discounted. Besides, adding a coffin would cost a lot of money.

Fortunately, Lu Haoshan had many horses. In the last battle, the horses could not play any role, so there was no loss, which saved a lot of effort. In order to fulfill the promise of "no one can be left behind", Lu Haoshan took all the soldiers back, and brought the bodies if they could not bring the living people. For this reason, Lu Haoshan also hired dozens of coachmen.

Hundreds of corpses were transported across provinces. Although the project was large and the cost was huge, it inflamed the hearts of all the soldiers. The soldiers were grateful to Lu Haoshan. Many people secretly vowed that if they still joined the army in their next life, they would become Lu Haoshan's soldiers.

When they came out, the soldiers and armor were purged. They were like swords and guns. Although they were not small when they returned, they were injured and were all sad and angry. The brothers who were once full of energy are now lying in a coffin that still exudes the smell of fresh wood. What is the scene of tragic?

Eight hundred people left Sichuan, and only two hundred people left when they returned. They were still injured, some of them couldn't even ride horses and could only sit in the carriage. Li Dingguo said with a sad face: "Sir, we have a big loss this time. If we knew that these people were so treacherous, we wouldn't be rushing to this muddy water."

"Yes, the actions of these people are simply disappointing. It is shameful to either refuse to save them when they die or take advantage of the situation to rob them." Zhao Gongchang echoed with an indignant look.

"I almost wiped out the entire army. This battle is too lingering." Even Tang Qiang, who has always disliked expressing his opinions, sighed with lingering fear.

There are not many people in the entire battle situation. It is estimated that in the eyes of many ministers, it is just an insignificant number in the battle report. However, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Qianhu, this is the hard work of the Qianhu, and the lives of six hundred brothers who share life and death, and these six hundred people are the elite among the elites.

After this battle, Wenchong Qianhushou could be said to have severely damaged his vitality.

Seeing that everyone was feeling a little depressed, Lu Haoshan said solemnly: "Don't be discouraged. Although my Wenchong Qianhu Institute suffered heavy losses, the remaining 200 people are 200 seeds. With them here, we will soon be able to regain glory."

The soldiers who have been through the battlefield are veterans. They not only accumulate rich combat experience, but also keep the tough, unyielding and passionate spirit in their bones. This is a wealth that is unchanged.

Regardless of ancient and modern times, when an army with fighting spirit is about to carry out bloody battles or attack tasks, it will subconsciously leave several backbones. Even if the entire army is wiped out, it can leave behind the "seed" and the "soul" of this army. In Lu Haoshan's eyes, these two hundred subordinates who survived from death are the seeds of two hundred strong troops.

"Sir, it's snowing." Li Dingguo suddenly spoke.

It suddenly started snowing in the sky, and the heavy snow fluttered in the cold wind. It seemed to be sighing, or bid farewell to the heroic souls who died in battle. The scene was lonely and desolate. Suddenly, Lu Haoshan remembered a very famous song in later generations, named around winter.

Gently, I will leave you,

Please wipe away the tears from the corners of your eyes.

In the long night, in the days to come,

My dear, don't cry for me,

.....

Not at this time, I don't know when,

I think it will be in winter.

It was winter when I left Sichuan. I was ordered to go on a war. When I went back, I was speechless. Now it was winter, which happened to mark this song. When I thought of two beautiful figures and warm home, Lu Haoshan's originally sad heart felt a little warm, and waved his big hand and said, "Snap the pace, let's go home and go home for the New Year."

As soon as he heard that he was going home, the eyes of the soldiers lit up. The word "home" suddenly increased the morale of the depressed one a lot. He couldn't help but squeeze the whip in his hand tightly...

For ordinary people, it is terrible to have two enemies in the year of disaster. One is called hunger and the other is called cold. They are thin and do not have enough food to cover their stomachs. The north wind blows will make it worse. Many people are displaced and countless people die of cold every year.

Just as the refugees were hiding in the shelter and trying hard to wrap their clothes, there was a place that was steaming, so many people were only wearing a short summer jacket and were soaked in sweat. This place was the secret weapon research institute secretly built by the Qianhu Institute of Wenchong.

In the research institute, Li Nian, with bloodshot eyes, stood on the side of the corner. Although there was a rattan chair under his butt, Li Nian did not sit, but stared at Xu Xiang who was hammering him with a nervous look on his face. At this moment, Xu Xiang was carefully polishing the last component. This was one of the parts of his Dongweng designed the new rear-filled musket. After nearly two years of research, there has been great progress recently. Now is a critical moment. Li Nian has been staring at it and not leaving the day before yesterday.

This fire-frying machine is too important. It does not count the manpower and material resources. The investment in the current silver alone is as high as more than 50,000 taels. More than a dozen craftsmen led by Xu Xiang worked day and night and studied it for nearly two years. When Lu Haoshan said that this new type of fire gun directly determines his own destiny and future. He repeatedly reminded everyone to take the new type of fire gun first. Seeing Lu Haoshan so serious, Li Nian also puts the affairs of the institute first, and accompanied him throughout the process at this important moment.

In addition to his efforts, he also wanted to give him a surprise before his Dongweng came back. The news that Lu Haoshan was already on the way back, and he calculated the days on his way back. It was only in the past two days that Li Nian was naturally very concerned about it.

With the pigeon and the Yibao team, although Lu Haoshan suppressed bandits in Shanxi, Henan and other places, there was always information exchange. Li Nian was very scared when he received the news that Wen Chong's bloody battle with Feilaifeng. Fortunately, he later received the news that Lu Haoshan had escaped from his death. However, the news that Wen Chong's army was almost wiped out by the annihilation of Li Nian. So he hoped to give him a surprise, or an explanation, when Lu Haoshan came back, so he kept waiting here.

The parts that Xu Xiang polished were a small striker, and the cast size was slightly larger. It was better to run in, so Xu Xiang, who was an old blacksmith, took it himself.

To be honest, Xu Xiang spent a lot of time on this small striker. Although the small striker is extremely strict, the process requirements are very strict and the hardness and toughness are very high. For this small striker, Xu Xiang and three newly acquired disciples took three months to develop it. This is due to the high-quality iron smelting produced by the blast furnace designed by Lu Haoshan to succeed.

After repeated polishing, Xu Xiang finally polished the firing pin and carefully installed the firing pin. Finally, another new type of musket was released.

The reason why I said "again" was that I made a total of seventeen samples, but they all ended in failure. This one was the eighteenth and the eighteenth attempt. Fortunately, Lu Haoshan was able to make money and invested regardless of cost. He asked the institute to obtain it. He often told Xu Xiang not to be afraid of failure. The funds were open and unlimited. That was how the 18th new musket was released.

"Sir Li, this new type of musket is assembled." When the last part is assembled, Xu Xiang said excitedly.

"Try the gun." Although Li Nian was a little excited inside, he was well-educated and still said calmly on the surface.

Before the gun was tested, there were variables in everything. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Lu Haoshan repeatedly told Li Nian not to urge Xu Xiang, and gave him enough patience and tolerance. If he was too eager, he would put pressure on Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang nodded and handed the musket to one of the disciples, who was responsible for the test of the gun.

The disciple carefully filled a new bullet from behind and whispered, "Master, how far is it?"

"One hundred and fifty steps," Xu Xiang pondered for a moment, then said confidently.

With a command, someone placed a wooden target card at 150 steps. The disciple glanced, pulled the striker up, and then pulled the trigger hard. With a loud "bang", the fire of the muzzle of the new musket erupted, and a new bullet sprayed out from the muzzle and easily penetrated the target card into a big hole.

It's done, it's done, Li Nianyi was excited, and there was a fanatical look in his eyes, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.
