    Although Fatty Lu himself didn't know how many kinds of glue formulas he knew, but in order to hurry up and use convenience, Fatty Lu, who has always liked to make fake and shoddy products, simply used the common kraft glue in pharmacy as wood glue.  Using kraft glue and mulberry craft, I made three shoddy original rockets overnight¡ªin fact, most of the materials are the original second-level rockets, but the mouth of the dragon was changed to facilitate breaking.  The conical shape of the air, the second stage of the rocket was changed to explosives and detonators, and a balance wing and tail were added to maintain stability during launch. The Sanhao brand knockoff missile was declared a success.

    Early the next morning, Fatty Lu dragged Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, and Gao Dejie along with three accomplices, and went up to Nule Peak to try shooting again.  Because there were still targets left during the artillery test firing the day before, this test firing was even more trouble-free. We just cleared the site and protected the test site, and then installed it on a simple launcher to aim at the target. Fatty Lu personally lit it.  The lead wire of a Sanhao brand imitation missile, the silky fuse burning and quickly penetrated into the tail of the imitation missile, only heard a "swish", and the imitation missile dragged a fire snake and shot out, shooting three miles like lightning  outside target.

    With a loud bang, the Sanhao brand knockoff missile exploded about ten steps away from the left side of the target mound, blowing up earth, rocks, grass and leaves on the ground.  Fatty Lu's cheers also sounded, "Okay! Quickly, install the second rocket, and I will test fire again!"

    "Hoo-!" Another primitive rocket flew out, and exploded more than 20 steps behind the target. Fatty Lu also jumped up happily, clapping again and again, intoxicated with himself.  Seeing this scene, Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui inevitably looked at each other in blank dismay. Wu Yingqi asked in confusion, "This thing is not as accurate as the Hongyi cannon? How could Yifeng be so successful?"

    "Second prince, you don't need to shoot very accurately!" Gao Dejie saw the meaning of the Sanhao brand knockoff missile at a glance, and exclaimed excitedly: "Second prince, you haven't realized that this rocket from Yifeng is not for  The fortifications are for field battles? Think about it, if on the battlefield, when the two armies are fighting, we suddenly shoot dozens or hundreds of these rockets into the enemy's dense formation, how many enemies can be killed?  Can the enemy's formation still become a formation? Blowing up the enemy's team, and we disperse it with a full blow, isn't it a sure chance of victory?"

    "That's right, this thing shoots extremely fast, and it's the nemesis of the enemy's cavalry." Wu Guogui also quickly came to his senses, and said: "The Hongyi cannon can't be used in field battles, mainly because it is too troublesome to load ammunition.  It takes two to three minutes to fire a cannon, and there is no way to restrain the enemy cavalry charge on the battlefield. As long as there are enough of these things, dozens or even hundreds of them can be fired easily in a short period of time, enough to blow up most of the enemy cavalry.¡±

    "Oh." Wu Yingqi reacted a little slowly, and it took a lot of time to understand the essence of it, but after reacting, Wu Yingqi also shouted happily, "That's right, that's the reason. On the field battlefield, this thing doesn't need  If you shoot too accurately, as long as there are enough of them, the power will be much greater than the Hongyi Cannon!"

    "This is to replace quality with quantity, and replace precision with vagueness!" Fatty Lu ran over at some point, and said proudly: "The best part is that the cost of this rocket is very low, and the propellant only needs to be filled with a catty.  Black powder can shoot two catties of explosives to the enemy's head, and it is very easy to manufacture. In addition to wood and bamboo, it can also be made of cheaper and more convenient thick paper tubes. The cost of a rocket is far away.  It is lower than the launch cost of a shell of the Hongyi Cannon. Using this rocket instead of the Hongyi Cannon on the field battlefield can save money, increase the firepower density, and increase the firing frequency to make up for all the defects of the Hongyi Cannon!  "

    "That's right, there is another great advantage of this thing." Gao Dejie nodded and said, "That is, it is light in weight, easy to carry and use, which can greatly reduce the logistical pressure, and can also achieve rapid maneuvering, without the need to carry hundreds of them with the army.  A thousand-jin Hongyi cannon."

    "General Gao, Second Prince, I have some good news to tell you." Fatty Lu said happily: "Because of the rush of time, I made a few rockets impromptu today, and the tail fins, balance wings and nozzles are still there.  There is room for improvement, as long as I have a little time, I can improve this rocket so that it can shoot more accurately, shoot farther, and be more convenient to manufacture and carry.¡±

    "Okay, do it quickly." Wu Yingqi nodded again and again, and said, "When the best rockets are produced, I will ask my father to manufacture them in large quantities and provide a large amount of equipment for our army in the Pingxi Palace."

    "If that's the case, then we can indeed build fewer Hongyi cannons. As long as we build dozens of them to attack fortifications, we can use this kind of rockets to replace them in field battles." Wu Guogui also nodded in agreement.  At the end, Wu Guogui asked curiously: "Also, Yifeng, you said last night that you can let our soldiers from Pingxi Palace fly to the sky.Preparations for the sacrifice of the country  But what makes the lower official even more distressed and painful is that it is still making things difficult for the higher-ups. Si Gege, who is in charge of the thirteenth yamen, failed to seduce the lower official because of sex.  , framed in different ways  "

    "Don't cry." Gan Wenkun handed a handkerchief in front of Fatty Lu, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the emperor knows your difficulties, and I know your difficulties, so I don't care about impeaching me.  I will blame you. Come on, wipe away the tears, don't let other people see."

    "Thank you, Governor." Fatty Lu agreed sobbingly, took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears on his face, but the painful tears in his eyes were still flowing down.

    "You can't completely blame Si Gege." Gan Wenkun comforted: "She is also loyal to the emperor, so she had to be careful about you. To be honest, I was also worried about you before, because Wu Sangui was really good to you, not only sent you  Taking up the official position in Qujing, and personally officiated the marriage, and married Xiao Gege from the Pingnan Palace to you, which is considered as a mountain of kindness to you."

    "He deliberately humiliated Prince Pingnan." Fatty Lu choked up and said: "Prince Pingnan has never dealt with him all his life. Little Gege and I fell in love with each other and voluntarily followed me to Qujing. He did nothing for me and Xiao Gege to marry me.  Well-intentioned, just to deliberately humiliate Prince Pingnan¡ªto let everyone in the world know that a seventh-rank servant from Pingxi Palace can marry Prince Pingnan's precious daughter."

    "You understand this, just know it in your heart." Gan Wenkun nodded, and asked again: "Then do you know that my uncle died at the hands of Wu Sangui? Our Gan family and their Wu family are also inseparable."  ?¡±

    "Yes? Is there such a thing?" Fatty Lu was full of surprise, and said, "Why haven't you heard about it?"

    "That was a matter of the former dynasty. At that time, Wu Sangui was the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty." Gan Wenkun said lightly, "After Wu Sangui surrendered to our Qing army, Lord Rui (Dorgon) pardoned all his previous sins,  So not many people know about it."

    "I see, so I see." Fatty Lu nodded again and again, with a look of sudden realization.  At the end, Fatty Lu asked anxiously: "Master Governor, then why don't you move the governor's office to Qujing immediately? This is the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou, and its location is extremely important. Only you can take precautions if you sit here."

    "This is not a trivial matter, we can only discuss it slowly." Gan Wenkun shook his head, and suddenly said seriously: "The emperor's secret order, Lu Yifeng accepts the order."

    "My minister Lu Yifeng accepts the order." Fatty Lu hurriedly saluted.

    "Lu Yifeng, it is absurd for you to impeach Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, for colluding with Wu Fan and harming the country for personal gain!" Gan Wenkun recited: "Gan Wenkun is the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou handpicked by me.  I am so loyal, how could I do such a thing of betrayal and ungratefulness? Absurd, extremely absurd!"

    "The humble minister is absurd, and the humble minister is a death penalty." Fatty Lu trembled slightly, with a look of extreme panic.

    "However, I thought you didn't know it beforehand. This move is also for the sake of being cautious and careful in handling errands, and I will forgive you for your innocence and will not be held accountable." Gan Wenkun changed his tone, "From now on, you must obey Gan Wenkun's orders, work hard, and do errands diligently.  This is it."

    "Lord Lu, can you trust Ben Du now?" Gan Wenkun asked with a smile.  (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
