Please ask me to be the emperor

Zhang Shun originally thought that this guy was going to get angry, so he was going to order Wukong to capture him first. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, this guy was silent for a moment, suddenly burst into laughter, then turned over and dismounted, bowed three times to Zhang Shun and shouted loudly: "I am Sui Dewei Congyi, with the courtesy name Junxi. Originally I was Sui. There are hundreds of families in Dewei's family. Because their hometown suffered a disaster and they had no way to make a living, they had no choice but to join the rebel army with their subordinates. However, the king himself was incompetent. We were hungry and satiated, but we could not eat all the food. As the saying goes, 'A good bird chooses wood. Qi, a good minister chooses his master. Now I heard that your Excellency has high righteousness and has given up the king's personal use and followed your Excellency. I am willing to be used by eagles and dogs, but I only want to be satisfied with one meal."

Zhang Shun heard this and said very happily: "Zhenwu's son Long Ye! In the past Three Kingdoms, Zhao Zilong abandoned Gongsun Zan and followed Uncle Liu. This is probably the same!"

After saying that, he also turned over and dismounted, placed his left hand in front of the steel whip on his left waist, stretched out his right hand to help "Zilong" Wei Congyi up. Wei Congyi was also extremely moved. He happily waved his hands and asked his brothers to put down their weapons and come together to pay homage to their lord.

The two sides were happy for a while, and Zhang Shun asked Zhao Yutou to arrange Wei Congyi's men. He took Wei Congyi and introduced him to his subordinates Chen Changzhen, Xiao Qinhu, Zhang Sanbai and others. When Chen Changzheng saw this person, he looked at him with a steady expression.

Zhang Shun knows that there must be a hidden secret, but the two sides have not yet fully revealed each other, so there is no need to break up now. On the contrary, Zhang Shun saw that he had food on his face, so he arranged for him to prepare a banquet and treat him to a meal.

After a while, Chen Jingzhi ordered his soldiers to serve several side dishes and several large bowls of noodles. When Wei Congyi saw it, he was like a hungry wolf. Regardless of his appearance, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls. Originally, this noodle was a bowl for each person. Zhang Shun took two bites and saw that Wei Congyi's bowl was almost empty, so he pushed his own to him and said, "Brother Wei, eat slowly. If it's not enough, I have another bowl here. You eat them together."

"It's funny." Wei Congyi said sheepishly, "Since the drought in Suide, my family has had no harvest. I haven't eaten white flour for a long time, but I'm really greedy."

Hearing this, Chen Changzhen opened his mouth and was about to say something sarcastic, but Zhang Shun saw it and stopped him with a wink. After Wei Congyi finished eating his own, he started to eat Zhang Shun's. As he ate, his face burst into tears and he began to cry.

Zhang Shun was shocked when he saw it: there were no onions on this side, so why were he crying? Of course, he asked with concern: "Brother Wei, why are you crying? But is there not enough noodles here?"

"No, no, no!" Wei Congyi cried, "I'm full of food here, but I think of my brothers outside. I can't even eat all the grass roots, tree bark, and grains and grass seeds. So I'm sad, but it makes my lord What a joke.”

"No, this is the deep brotherhood." Zhang Shun said after hearing this, "But it doesn't matter. Where is Chen Jingzhi? I ordered some food to be prepared for Brother Wei's subordinates so that everyone can have a full meal immediately."

After Chen Jingzhi heard this, he went down to make arrangements. Wei Congyi was moved and immediately sat down, bowed to Zhang Shun three times, and shouted: "If Congyi wins the master like this, he will definitely die as a reward!"

At this time, the craftsman Liu Gang came in, walked up to Zhang Shun and said: "Your Majesty, all the pig iron has been stir-fried, and some wrought iron has come out. Lord, would you like to see how good it is?"

Zhang Shun looked at Wei Congyi, a little embarrassed, and was about to tell Liu Gang to look back. But he never thought that after Wei Congyi heard this, he returned to his seat, picked up the big bowl, ate the noodles with three mouthfuls of "snoring, snoring", drank all the soup in the bowl in one gulp, and licked it. After looking at the edge of the bowl, he said: "My lord, Congyi joined the lord from the right side, but he failed to make any achievements. Although Congyi has no great talent, he has been in the guard station for a long time and knows a thing or two about artillery. It would be better for me to follow the lord and go there." Staff officer?"

Zhang Shun was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "I don't know what kind of cannon to make. Let's talk about it while we are walking. Let me listen to what you say."

"There are several types of cannons. They are roughly divided into three types: earthen cannons, Western cannons and French guns. These earthen cannons were all produced by our Ming Dynasty and have long been out of use. Only the squatting tiger cannon made in Qinantang in the past is the most practical. It is the most commonly used in the military to this day."

"The second is the Flange machine. I heard it was passed down from the Flange machine country overseas. This thing has no other advantages, except for the opening at the rear end, which can be quickly loaded and has continuous firepower. However, this causes the rear end to leak out and is more powerful. weak."

"Finally, it is a Western cannon. It is said that it came from overseas. I heard that it is thin at the front and thick at the back, like a mallet. However, I have only heard about it and have never seen it with my own eyes."

Zhang Shun and Wei Congyi arrived at the iron-making place and took a quick look at the wrought iron. It looked good, so they arranged for Liu Gang to continue frying. At this time, Wei Congyi saw it and said: "This tiger squatting method is forged with fine iron. This thing has just been made and there is still residual heat, which is just the opportunity to burn it red and forge it, saving the power of carbon fire."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shun asked Liu Gang to find a few people and take the opportunity to forge some tile-shaped iron sheets. He pulled Wei Congyi and asked him about the size of his artillery. Wei Congyi was most familiar with the Crouching Tiger Cannon. He drew the Crouching Tiger Cannon in an instant and explained its dimensions.

It turns out that the Crouching Tiger Cannon is not the same model. Although its shape is the same, it has different calibers. The most commonly used ones are two-inch caliber, two feet long, and weighs thirty-six kilograms; and three-inch caliber, three feet long, and weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms.

Zhang Shun was very happy after hearing this, and ordered Liu Gang to lead the craftsmen to forge each such artillery for trial use. This time the technical difficulty was gone. That night, Liu Gang brought out a large and small Tiger Crouching Cannon to Zhang Shun and asked Zhang Shun to watch.

Zhang Shun saw that the cannon in front of him was not very long and round, and it had five iron pulleys on it, so he ordered the craftsmen to test-fire it. This time the test firing was quite successful. Three shots were fired in succession, and the big and small tiger squatting cannons were as strong as ever. There was just a slight flaw, the large tiger crouching cannon broke free of the nails with claws on it, but it wasn't a big problem.

Zhang Shun also ordered the craftsmen to weigh them. One weighed about 40 kilograms, and the other weighed more than 130 kilograms. Both were overweight. However, I heard Wei Congyi say: "The weight of this artillery, thirty-six kilograms and one hundred and twenty kilograms, are both ideal. In reality, many are overweight, which does not affect its use."

Originally Zhang Shun wanted to keep improving, but then he thought about it, Douzhuang was still fighting in full swing, and it seemed that he didn't have that much time to slowly refine it. Simply remove the iron hoop, thicken the cannon wall, and let the craftsmen cast it directly.

As for the remaining refined iron, simply let the spared workers step up the hammer forging, first forge it into iron plates, and then process it into breastplates for use. It turned out that Zhang Shun saw Wei Congyi wearing fine iron armor, which looked mighty and domineering without losing its defensive effect. He just wanted to serve his own interests, and wanted to equip some of his fierce generals with iron armor.
