Great Song Pirate

Chapter 464
"Very good! Master Ren, you did a great job! Your performance has greatly exceeded my expectations, and I really have to look at you with admiration!" Xu Yi nodded repeatedly, and praised Ren Bin without hesitation After talking for a while, Ren Bin felt quite flattered.

Of course, Xu Yi did not forget to praise the craftsmen here. It also made the craftsmen in the copper work feel more face, and each of them straightened up unconsciously, although most of them They are all craftsmen who Xu Yi sent people to take captive on land, but when they got here, they didn't receive the slightest abuse. No one oppressed them, so they soon became a little reluctant to leave, so they felt happy, and it was different when they were working. They used to muddle along, but now they began to actively think of ways. Of course, the efficiency and the quality of the work they did It will be much better, and it is undoubtedly a great encouragement for them to be praised by the leader of the Fubo Army today!

After Xu Yi praised Ren Bin and other craftsmen, he checked the warehouse again and saw that the Leigong cannons that had been produced were well maintained, so he took Ren Bin outside.

"I know, Master Ren, that you have really worked hard during this period, but this time we have accumulated some experience in the use of artillery after we fought against Annan and Champa. We have experienced two large-scale naval battles alone. Although one of the opponents was defeated and wiped out, we also lost a lot. The reason, not to mention my tactical mistakes, is that the number of enemy ships we encountered far exceeded ours. and most of the enemy ships are small and flexible. Once the opponent rushes up bravely, there is a problem with our artillery that the rate of fire is too slow. If our artillery fires faster, the enemy ship may There is no chance to break through our defense line, so our fleet can avoid many losses!
In addition, although the artillery of the infantry is equally sharp, there is also a problem that the reloading speed is too slow, especially when encountering the opponent's cavalry, we may only have a chance to fire a volley, and there is no time to reload and launch. In this case, once our artillery army has fired the first round of artillery, if the enemy cavalry is not defeated and the enemy cavalry rushes into our artillery formation, our artillery officers and soldiers will undoubtedly become the targets of the opponent's arbitrary slaughter. Any effort to fight back, for this reason we must equip the artillery army with a considerable number of soldiers to protect the artillery army, which will weaken our offensive strength. Our current infantry is really limited, and it is impossible to load a large amount with the fleet Infantry, in this way we fall into a situation of insufficient attack power, so that our infantry cannot fully exert their due strength.

On the way back, I thought about it for a long time. For our artillery, we still need to continue to improve. We must speed up the speed of reinstallation, so that the artillery can complete the second round of firing faster, and completely kill the enemy before the enemy rushes into the artillery formation. Knock it out, or rely on rapid fire to intercept enemy ships approaching our convoy, do you understand me? "Xu Yi said to Ren Bin.

Ren Bin listened very seriously. When Xu Yi asked him, he immediately bowed his head and replied: "I understand! I have heard about this matter when General Li came back last time, but I have been thinking about it for a long time. In addition to the power of the big thunder cannon, or the speed of the gunner brothers can only be reloaded quickly, I really can't think of any better way to speed up the reloading rate. The lord raised this matter today. Think again and see if there are other ways to solve this problem!"

Xu Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "You don't have to think about it anymore, I have already thought about it for you, I will draw a picture for you in the next two days, you can follow the drawing on the picture, and open the mold Forge a new cannon. I am afraid that I will not be able to use this new cannon when I go to Japan this time, but I ask you to come up with a practical new cannon when I come back. I can only give you a rough drawing. In terms of details, you need to find a solution together with the craftsmen around you. This kind of cannon is much more complicated to cast than the Leigong Cannon. You should think about it when the time comes! Besides, when I am not around, I can also I can't provide you with more help, everything depends on you!" The reason why Xu Yi brought up this matter now is mainly because he is not satisfied with You Yu. Although he already has artillery now, such a front-mounted artillery cannot To his satisfaction, the most important thing is the rate of fire. For this reason, his fleet suffered a lot in the Mei Island naval battle, and now seeing Ren Bin and the coppersmiths after nearly a year of groping After that, the level of casting cannons has reached a very high level. With such a foundation, he can trust them to do this kind of thing.

Ren Bin heard that Xu Yi had already found a solution, and even regarded Xu Yi as a heavenly man. This lord has always been unexpected. Although he has not seen the blueprint Xu Yi drew for him, he already believes that, Xu Yi's method is definitely effective. Now the Fubo army has a kind of blind trust in Xu Yi, because the things Xu Yi said often never come to nothing, and the things he created are even more amazing. , Ren Bin immediately bowed and agreed, and after Xu Yi turned around and gave him the blueprint, he led people to start trial production.

"Call Qin Huzi over here, let's go to Leigong Valley to see the iron cannons he made!" Xu Yi ordered Daniu, and after returning to Jilongzhai for two days, Li Bo told Xu Yi a lie, and then disappeared. Only Daniel and Cui Yan were left by Xu Yi's side, and he didn't know what Li Bo was doing mysteriously, so Xu Yi didn't care about him, anyway, this guy wouldn't stay at home with him Wife and children.

When the group of them walked to the streets of the factory area, they encountered patrol teams of the garrison from time to time. The soldiers stopped by the side of the road respectfully and bowed to Xu Yi and others. Xu Yi had no pretensions. He nodded to these minions, and then asked them to continue patrolling.

The street they walked was the artisan area of ​​Jilong Village, and now it is considered the core area of ​​Jilong Village. It is not a place where everyone can come in. Although it can be regarded as a place of Jilong Village, it is more like a village within a village. After Jia Qian’s re-planning some time ago, this area was isolated by two walls. All craftsmen working in the workshop area were issued with special badges. Anyone without a badge is not allowed to enter this area. Yes, and most of the core personnel also live in the specially set up residential area here, including the family members of the craftsmen who are also issued with special waist cards, which does not affect their entry and exit from the crafting area, and these key craftsmen generally do not have The time to go out for a stroll is for the safety of the many workshops here. Now this is basically the weapon production base of the Fubo Army, and there are many secrets in it that cannot be known to outsiders. Xu Yi thought about it before. I have passed this problem, but later because of trivial matters, I somewhat ignored this matter, but Jia Qian did not forget this matter. After Xu Yi just led the army to go out, he and Feng Fei surrounded the place together and set up multiple sentries. , completely isolated the place, now it can be said that it is heavily guarded, and it is basically harder for outsiders to come in than to go to the sky, unless he can fly, don't even think about it!

At first, when this place was confined, the artisans were somewhat uneasy and even more resistant, feeling as if they were being held in custody. Many people complained about this to their managers. For this reason, Jia Qian also called all the workshops. The manager specifically explained the pros and cons to them, asked the managers of each workshop to appease the craftsmen under their respective hands, and explained the reason to them, so that the craftsmen could feel at ease. Gradually they found that although this place was locked up , but the quality of life of these craftsmen has not been affected too much. The village guarantees that they and their families can eat well and live well. For those who can live in the craftsman area, this has become a status The symbol of the craftsman highlighted the status of the craftsmen in the Fubo Army, and quickly calmed down the grievances of these craftsmen, and many people were complacent about it, feeling that their waists were straight and they had more face!Many apprentices eagerly sign up to learn handicrafts because they are eager to live here in the future. This situation has become common practice for Fubo Army.

Xu Yi only heard Yingchun and the others talk about this matter before he came back this time, and he agrees with Jia Qian's approach. He doesn't want people in his territory to be proud of being an official, but wants the residents here to be proud of being an official. We are used to the current atmosphere, try to make the people here have a sense of equality, so as to promote the development of all walks of life here, for this reason Xu Yi really praised Jia Qian.

After Xu Yi led everyone out of the craftsman's area, he took a look at the situation of the chicken cage village. If it is still called a village, it seems to be a bit of a misnomer. Compared with when they built the village here, the chicken cage village has already expanded The size of the original wooden village has been demolished and disappeared, and a new city wall has been built around the village with rammed earth and blue bricks. , although it is far from as majestic as the land city, but for this place, it is not what it used to be, and the city wall is far from being completed. It is highly reinforced, and it is estimated that it will not take a few years. I am afraid that it will not give way to the city on land. This is the first foothold of the Fubo army after landing on Liuqiu Island. Xu Yi built a strong city, for which Xu Yi was very grateful to Jia Qian.

After seeing the great changes in the village, Xu Yi and his party went out of the city and went straight to the Thunder Valley outside the city...

(Guess what Zhujiao Xu Yi is going to do? Anyone who answers correctly in the book review area will be more refined! Hehe! The state is not bad, and I think it will be no problem to update another chapter tonight!)
