Pirate Song

When the sky in the east turned fish-belly white, light returned to this peaceful land again. A loud crowing of a rooster sounded in the morning light. Liu'er slowly opened her eyes, turned around and saw Gao Huaiyuan's

face.

At this time, Gao Huaiyuan had woken up from his dream and was holding his head with his hands, looking at Liu'er's face through the light coming from the window paper, with a gentle smile on his lips.

Liu'er immediately recalled the crazy scene last night, and immediately buried Zhen in Gao Huaiyuan's chest in shame, never daring to look up at him again.

Gao Huaiyuan gently held Liu'er's delicate body, gently soothing Liu'er's nervous and shy mood. His own heart was also turbulent. Everything seemed to fall into place. He finally couldn't restrain himself and picked Liu'er's

The flower of chastity, this day seems to have been destined for a long time, but what I didn't expect was that it just happened last night.

He himself couldn't figure out why he was suddenly so crazy last night. The reason could only be that he was too excited yesterday, but he didn't regret it. Suddenly he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders had increased. This

He has a lover who belongs to him in the world, and he must find a way to protect his lover and not let her be harmed in any way.

"Liu'er! Believe me, I will treat you well!" Gao Huaiyuan kissed Liu'er's cheek lovingly and said solemnly to Liu'er.

Liu'er finally lifted Zhen from Gao Huaiyuan's arms and looked at Gao Huaiyuan's eyes with tears in her eyes. She saw so much sincerity and infinite love in Gao Huaiyuan's eyes that she felt as if she suddenly

It felt like she had the whole world in her life, and she had no regrets in her life. She believed that Gao Huaiyuan's words were definitely not for her, and she could definitely feel Gao Huaiyuan's feelings for her at this moment, which made her so excited that she burst into tears.

Oops, I don’t know what to say.

Liu'er just nodded vigorously, indicating that she believed Gao Huaiyuan's words, and Gao Huaiyuan gently kissed Liu'er's lips. The two of them hugged each other and lay on the warm bed, unwilling to separate for a long time.

Unknowingly, Liu'er felt another hard force against her lower abdomen. She understood immediately and couldn't help but feel a little terrified. The craziness last night still made her feel sore and weak all over, and there was even more pain between her legs.

Is it still

Feeling a dull pain, she hurriedly leaned toward the bed and exclaimed in a low voice: "Young Master, please show mercy to Liu'er! Liu'er really can't bear the young master's favor now! Let Liu'er rest for a day and come back to serve you again.

Master!"

Gao Huaiyuan also felt the reaction of the disobedient guy, and he sweated in his heart. He quickly patted Liu'er's back to comfort her and said, "Look at how scared you are! Am I really like a bad wolf?"

Who would have thought that Liu'er would actually look at her narrow eyes and nodded gently with a smile. Gao Huaiyuan suddenly sweated profusely. He quickly got up and looked for his clothes and said: "In this case, it seems I'd better get up early! Otherwise,

He has really become the big evil wolf in Liu'er's eyes!"

Liu'er quickly hugged the quilt to block the spring light on her body, and tried to get up to help Gao Huaiyuan dress. However, as soon as she stood up, she immediately felt a pain coming from below. She couldn't help but moan softly, and her body suddenly lay down weakly.

Fell on the bed.

Gao Huaiyuan looked at Liu'er's delicate appearance and felt pity. He quickly stopped Liu'er and said, "You have a good rest today. There is no need to get up. I will have breakfast delivered to you in a while!"

Liu'er's heart was filled with sweet feelings, and when she was about to struggle to get up, she was pinned down on the bed by Gao Huaiyuan again: "Remember! You are mine, so you must listen to my words. Just lie down and don't move, and get enough rest."

Get up again!"

Liu'er looked at Gao Huaiyuan's resolute look, so she finally lay down again, hugging the quilt and smiling and nodding towards Gao Huaiyuan, with an indescribable feeling of charm on her cheeks.

At this time, a shrill whistle of a bamboo whistle came from the courtyard, followed immediately by the sound of people's running footsteps. Soon someone started shouting commands to form a team. The silence of Crouching Tiger Village was completely broken. It turned out that it was time for exercise.

.

After Gao Huaiyuan was dressed neatly, he strode out of his private courtyard and arrived at Zhuangzi's school grounds. At this time, the people in Zhuangzi had already lined up and ran out of the village gate. Gao Huaiyuan only saw the end of the queue.

Daily morning exercises are a compulsory course for people in Zhuangzi. Even those who are not Zhuangzi must insist on doing them, rain or shine. This system now even includes everyone who lives in Zhuangzi. Such rules have long been formed.

No one will feel strange about the customization, but will consciously comply with it, and few people will be late, which makes the physical fitness of everyone in Crouching Tiger Village quite good.

Such a scene also made Crouching Tiger Villa seem so prosperous. Gao Huaiyuan stood on the school field and looked at the scene in front of him, and he felt a sense of pride in his heart, because all of this was built by his own hands.

The more firmly he strengthens his belief, the greater his influence will be on this era, and he may even leave a mark in history.

At this time, there was another whistle in the backyard, and then there was a fluttering sound. A group of pigeons of various colors fluttered their wings and flew into the sky amidst the whistle. Thousands of pigeons also started their day.

On his first flight, the loud pigeon whistle filled the sky and the earth. Gao Huaiyuan knew that this was Liu Fu starting to fly pigeons for training.

After walking into the rows of pigeon lofts, Gao Huaiyuan saw Liu Fu standing in the open space in front of the pigeon lofts, looking up to the sky, with a proud look on his face, as if he was like a general reviewing his army at the moment.

"Good morning Liu Fu!" Gao Huaiyuan greeted Liu Fu. He didn't have the arrogance of ordinary rich people or officials. Even when dealing with subordinates, he rarely pretended that I was the boss here.

Seeing that Liu Fu didn't notice his arrival, he took the initiative to speak.

After Liu Fu heard Gao Huaiyuan's voice, he quickly turned around and limped over quickly, lowered his head to see him and said, "My greetings to the young master! Why are you here so early, young master?"

"Oh! I came over to see our pigeons if I have nothing to do. Liu Fu, you have worked hard these past two years. I wonder if living here is comfortable?" Gao Huaiyuan looked up at the flock of pigeons in the sky, and then asked Liu Fu with a smile.

road.

"Happy, happy! Thank you young master for taking the little one in! Now every day I feel like celebrating the New Year! Haha! This is all thanks to the young master! Our pigeons are getting more and more now. Master, come and see, the little one is being nurtured

A batch of pigeon breeders have been hatched. This batch of pigeons are bred from the breeding pigeons selected in the past two years. Compared with the previous pigeons,

The flying speed of cubs is much faster, and the homing rate is also much higher. When they are young, they will be sent to various places to be raised. In the future, the young master will use them to deliver letters, which will be much faster!" Liu Furu

He quickly thanked him, and then took Gao Huaiyuan to visit his pigeon loft like a treasure trove, and introduced the newly bred homing pigeons to Gao Huaiyuan, his eyes full of pride.

After Gao Huaiyuan wandered around the pigeon loft, he also sighed sincerely. Who said people are rich or poor? It is such a disabled person who has always been looked down upon by others, but he has built a communication network composed of carrier pigeons for him. It can be seen that

If you want to do something, everyone has his use!

In this way, Gao Huaiyuan spent a pleasant holiday in Zhuangzi, and spent a comfortable and peaceful Spring Festival with the people in Zhuangzi. There was only one regret here, that is, the living treasure Huang Yan was missing from Zhuangzi, and there were many more

People cannot return due to various reasons

Gao Huaiyuan felt somewhat regretful about the Chinese New Year, but fortunately, Gao Huaiyuan sent a gift to each of these relatives and friends who were away from home and could not come back to celebrate the New Year to express his affection, and received their

The reply somewhat made up for his regret.

And during this holiday, Liu'er was probably the happiest. She finally handed herself over to Gao Huaiyuan. Although she didn't have a title yet, she didn't feel regretful. In her opinion, being able to do this

It was enough to share the joy of fish and water with Gao Huaiyuan. She had no extravagant hope of marrying Gao Huaiyuan and becoming his wife. As long as she could give birth to a child for Gao Huaiyuan and be taken into his concubine, she would be completely satisfied.

The two of them were almost inseparable together. As soon as they had the opportunity, they became tired of being together and studied the joys of boudoir together, which made Gao Huaiyuan feel almost too happy to miss Shu, and even reluctant to report back to the Yamen.

But Gao Huaiyuan finally restrained his laziness, because he knew that he still had a long way to go. Since ancient times, he knew that the gentle village was the Tomb of Heroes. He did not dare to pursue pleasure. Since

After embarking on this official career, he will go as far as possible in order to obtain more resources and space to see what impact he can bring to this era.

Therefore, a few days after the year, Gao Huaiyuan arranged things in Zhuangzi, and made a special trip to Tiezuo, met with Jin Tong and others, sorted out the experience he summarized from the cannon test, and put forward some specific suggestions.

Jin Tong was asked to pay attention to several issues when casting again. One was to ensure the versatility of the ammunition and to facilitate the casting of cannonballs and the quantification of gunpowder.

The forged artillery is temporarily divided into two calibers, one is a two-inch caliber light artillery, and the other is a three-inch caliber medium-sized artillery. As for the larger caliber, he has no requirements, because if it is larger, the gun body will become

It is extremely heavy. Judging from the current transportation capacity, even short-distance transportation of heavy artillery is a big problem, so it can only be used for the defense of fixed locations, and he has no such need at the moment.

Second, the current artillery materials are obviously still too brittle, and the copper-tin ratio of bronze is obviously not suitable. The copper-tin ratio must be appropriately adjusted to increase the toughness and ductility of the material, making the artillery more durable and reducing the risk of explosions.

of danger.

The third is to continue to find ways to increase the length of the artillery barrel, which can extend the range of the artillery and kill the enemy at a longer distance. However, this is not too important. After all, the current demand is not too urgent.

Even if there is a war, he will not take out this trump card and use it. The increase in length will definitely increase the weight of the artillery, so Jin Tong must act within his ability.

The short-barreled cannon also has the advantages of a short-barreled cannon. Although the large-caliber short-barreled cannon can only be regarded as a blunderbuss, when it is loaded with shotguns, it can sweep away a large area and is more lethal to clustered enemies, so this demand does not exist.

Not too urgent.

In addition to these points, Gao Huaiyuan has some ideas, but he can't eat a fat man in one bite. Things have to be done slowly. After a period of development, I believe that under his guidance, sooner or later, the casting and use of artillery will gradually

Mature.

Jin Tong still didn't understand what Gao Huaiyuan's copper pipes were used for. He could only write down Gao Huaiyuan's requirements and continue to improve them in the future. What puzzled him was the three copper pipes given to Gao Huaiyuan years ago.

Guan, Gao Huaiyuan sent him back one now, but it was already four

Gao Huaiyuan didn't say, and he couldn't ask. However, he still found some clues in these broken copper blocks, because there were some clues on these broken copper blocks.

There are traces of ablation, obviously after high temperature, but it looks a bit like the traces of being blown up.

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan didn't tell Jin Tong and them what this kind of thing was for the time being was mainly because he was worried about leaking secrets. Although these people seemed to be more submissive to him now, they were all adults after all, so it couldn't be easy.

He instilled the word loyalty into them like brainwashing. Before their families were taken over, he still maintained a cautious attitude. He would not tell them the secret of the artillery until he could completely trust these people.

This created a strange situation. The manufacturer of the artillery did not know what the artillery was, which also hindered the improvement of the artillery. However, Gao Huaiyuan finally chose to play it safe and keep this secret.

As for smaller-caliber muskets, Gao Huaiyuan did not let Jin Tong continue to use bronze for manufacturing. The reason is that the current casting process is not suitable for the manufacture of muskets. Even the small-caliber muskets now cast are not suitable for single-use guns.

It also seemed a bit too heavy for a soldier. Even a strong man like him could not withstand the recoil when firing a gun of such a caliber, and it was impossible to deploy it to a single soldier.

In addition, he is not optimistic about the power of primitive muskets. Compared with crossbows, primitive muskets are not superior in terms of deterrence, lethality, range, and shooting, and are also affected by the weather.

It is very large. This has been tested in the history of musket exhibitions in later generations.

Before, muskets had never really replaced the status of long-range weapons such as crossbows on the battlefield. Although he wanted to own muskets, he felt that the time was not yet ripe. Even if he really wanted to do it, he would still have to find a way to possess steel weapons.

Otherwise, he would rather not spend too much resources on it.

However, this did not prevent Gao Huaiyuan from developing this kind of thing. He decided to find another way, starting with short-barreled muskets, and getting a few short-barreled muskets for self-defense. When they were actually used, it was definitely an amazing thing.

A hidden weapon that is hard to guard against.

So taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, Gao Huaiyuan drew a blueprint based on the prototype of a native gun, and gave it to Zhou Botong, a master blacksmith, and asked him to find a way to trial-produce several such single short-barreled muskets based on the blueprints.

Hundreds of refined steel was used, and he was waiting to see if Zhou Botong could make such a short-barreled musket.

Liu'er also wanted to accompany Gao Huaiyuan back to the county seat to serve Gao Huaiyuan, but as Gao Huaiyuan's spokesperson in Crouching Tiger Village, Liu'er couldn't let it go for the time being. After all, Gao Huaiyuan was not in Zhuangzi's time, and Liu'er was still in charge here.

People, generally smaller things, there are

Liu Er still needs to take care of it, so although she is reluctant to leave, she can only stay in Zhuangzi temporarily. However, Gao Huaiyuan promised her that after a period of time, Zhou Hao will take over her position, and she can go to the county to accompany her.

Being by his side made Liu'er happy again.

When Gao Huaiyuan returned to the county town, although the Spring Festival had already passed, the Lantern Festival had not yet passed, so it was basically still within the festival. Every household in the county town was putting up lanterns in preparation for the Lantern Festival (that is, the Lantern Festival in later generations).

The Lantern Festival) was extremely lively, and Gao Huaiyuan returned to the county at this time and undoubtedly helped Liu Zhixian again.

This is a big deal. Under normal circumstances, during the Lantern Festival, fire accidents occur frequently in the county. There are lanterns everywhere, so accidents will inevitably happen. Some local ruffians take this opportunity to go to the streets at night to do some sneaky things.

Even the molestation of women was not unexpected, and Gao Huaiyuan was able to come back before the Lantern Festival, which made Liu Zhixian very happy.

As a result, the important task of maintaining peace once again fell on Gao Huaiyuan. Things like this were naturally a piece of cake for Gao Huaiyuan. After he returned to the county government, he immediately arranged the relevant matters.

After going down, everyone, including the watchmen in the county town, mobilized to remind people to be careful with candles and not to cause fires. At the same time, they sent out arresters and archers to guard the four gates, and formed groups to patrol the streets.

For this reason, Gao Huaiyuan simply sent people to find several well-known gangsters in the county, warned them honestly and rudely, and sounded the alarm for them. However, Gao Huaiyuan's methods had already been improved after he wiped out the lake bandits.

The locals in Daye became famous and frightened, so these green men did not dare to make any mistakes, so the Shangyuan Festival was able to pass smoothly, and the Southern Song Dynasty entered the fourteenth year of Jiading.

The beginning of the new year did not change the situation. While Gao Huaiyuan continued to secretly develop his power with the assistance of many of his subordinates, he established a bow and arrow club in Daye County.

Yongdu got the reward

, so after receiving the benefits, the villagers began to become enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm of various communities for practicing martial arts and archery was also unprecedentedly high. Gao Huaiyuan's implementation of this matter was a matter of course, and gradually a preliminary martial arts trend was formed in the countryside.

However, the Jin Kingdom was really unwilling to give up. After just being defeated by the Mongolian army in Hebei, Shandong and other places, it launched another attack on the Southern Song Dynasty later in the year. The leader of the attack this time was none other than Pu San, a famous general of the Jin Kingdom.
