Lord of Ming Dynasty

Wang Chong didn't look back. He knew that it must be the group of Longwu Nanming in exile here. He didn't know what the relationship between the Huaxia Army and Longwu Nanming would be like in the future, and how they would get along with each other. Because the people of the Ming Dynasty did not listen to or mention the emperor, but only talked about the governor. Will it anger these old masters who have been bathed in the thought of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism for thousands of years? These people encouraged Emperor Longwu to regard the Huaxia Army as his enemy.

This is very possible.

This fierce collision of ideas and cultural differences must be endless, and will definitely create hatred and hostility in a long-term process.

Speeding up his horse, he came to the back gate of the Governor's Mansion, bid farewell to the militia captain, and handed over his badge directly, and the guard brigade soldiers guarding the Governor's Mansion quickly let go.

Wang Chong left his men behind and went directly to the Office of the Military Intelligence Department in the Governor's Mansion, found the External Office of the Military Intelligence Department, wrote some information into a detailed report in his own office, and let those assigned to his office train them. The former Ming scholar, Tong Sheng and other literati copied a copy, and after filing it, they took the document they wrote to report directly to Bagyalu.

The Huaxia Army is no longer a simple small volunteer army. Now everything is changing to a formal national system, and various departments have been established and improved one after another.

Milin is still sitting in the prefectural city of Raozhou, watching the war with the Qing army in Fujian and Jiangxi, and watching the every move of the Yongli Nanming and Southwest Qing army. Yalu came to report the situation.

Zhang Qiang has not established a new captain of the personal guard, and Bagyaru still has to take up this position from time to time, so he spends most of his time by Zhang Qiang's side, in the Governor's Mansion.

Baggyalu was processing some intelligence documents. Hearing his knock on the door, he raised his head and saw that it was him. He pointed to the chair next to him.

Wang Chong reached out and took off his military cap. After he entered the office, he washed his face hastily, changed into the military uniform of the regular army, and came here after finishing writing the documents. With his military cap on his shoulders, he walked gently Go in, sit on the chair designated by Bagyaru, straighten your body, and silently wait for Bagyaru to read the document.

"Wang Shoubei, what brought you here?" Bagyaru got up and poured him a cup of tea, then retreated behind his desk and asked with a smile.

Wang Chong smiled and put the military cap on the side coffee table, "Captain Ba, I have important information to report to the governor this time."

"Oh, what has changed in Minister Mi? Has the Qing army increased its troops, or has the Yongli Ming army lost another battle?" Bagyalu asked Wang Chong.

"No, I don't care about these things. I'm outside now, lurking in the Qing army, helping Director Tian, ​​and General Tian is doing field work. If there are new Qing army movements, I will report to the governor." Wang Chong told Bagyaru Said.

Bagyaru sat upright, and turned his body slightly towards Wang Chong, "Your military intelligence department moves too frequently, and you appear and disappear. I can't figure out your whereabouts, um—what's the situation?"

Wang Chong handed over the written report document in his hand.

"When I came back, I saw Emperor Longwu and a group of court officials walking on the street. How will the Governor arrange for them?" Wang Chong couldn't help asking.

Bagyalu looked up at him while reading the document, shook his head, and said to himself: "Your Excellency has not yet decided, according to the previous idea is to take down the Guangzhou Mansion, and then give them the Guangzhou Mansion, let them Continue to fight and toss with the Qing army of Yongli Nanming and Guangdong, but now many generals are opposed, we are too good to them, with our current reputation and the expectations of the people, there is no need to borrow the banner of Longwu Nanming, Now we are the force that is most in line with the historical trend, and many people suggest that the governor be king."

Wang Chong touched his nose, and he asked about this kind of thing. As for how to treat Longwu Nanming, it was something that the governor and Governor Wei Wuji, Mr. Zhou Porridge, considered.

However, he still said something strange, "What about Zhu Yihai, King Lu, and Jianguo Lu?"

Bagyalu put down the document, frowned into a thousand mountains, and answered him casually, "Lu Jian Guoming Army and Hangzhou Mansion, what are they afraid of? Now they are surrounded by Hangzhou Mansion and Jinling Mansion Huaxia Army and Lu Jian Guoming Army It’s been a long time, but the fact is that, except for the prefectural city and a few small places that belong to the Ming Army, most of the places in Hangzhou Mansion are garrisoned and managed by our Huaxia Army.”

Wang Chong said again, "We have to find a way to solve it. Otherwise, they will stay on our territory. The country is not the country, the king is not the king, and the ministers are not ministers. I am afraid it will be bad for us."

Bagyarul knocked on the table, did not answer his question, but asked, "Is this true?"

Wang Chong's thoughts began to turn around, and he followed his purpose of coming here, "Yes, maybe the Qing army will take a while, maybe two months at the earliest, and about half a year at the slowest, and then there will be another big battle. Using the same weapons as ours, using our tactics, and they have a steady stream of support from the Han army, and even the Mongol army. In the long run, it is not very good for us, and our opponent is still Hong Chengchou, who is good at planning. Old thief, I have to guard against it, this information is very important, I hope the governor will pay attention to it."

"Okay, I understand, you go back to rest first, and wait until I report to the governor, you wait for a day or two." Bagyaroo said.

Chapter 336 Research and Discussion of Flintlock Guns

Bagyaru asked Wang Chong to wait for a day or two because Zhang Qiang was also hiding.

The people from Longwu Nanming came to him every day, which was so annoying that he gave up on Nanming.

When Zhu Yujian was in the past, everyone was doing business in partnership. To be clear, I, Zhang Qiang, would not pretend that you were your filial son and filial grandson of Daming. To strengthen my power to fight for hegemony, everyone will not interfere with each other.

But now that Longwu Nanming and the Huaxia Army are having such an unpleasant quarrel, out of the same lineage, you were rescued from the Tingzhou Mansion for the second time, but you told me that you are a descendant of the Ming Zhu family.

You want me to be loyal to you, you want to be my emperor, the territory I laid down, my people, and my army all belong to you, you give me a job title, let me be grateful to Dade, and go back to retire after thanking you.

And so grateful?

Is there such a dove occupying a magpie's nest?

what is this?

The customer is bullying the store.

Of course, Longwu and Zhu Yujian couldn’t be so shameless. The shameless officials like Su Guansheng thought that Zhang Qiang should rescue Longwu. Command the Huaxia Army's army, and then find a way to defeat it.

This logic is very marketable. In the eyes of Zhang Qiang of later generations, this is simply ungrateful, and it is simply the rhythm that makes people want to find someone to argue with a kitchen knife, so Zhang Qiang just ignores them. You can do whatever you like. Originally thought It was arranged for Longwu Nanming to Guangzhou, and then let them go to fight with Yongli Nanming and the Qing court. After they came and acted like this, Zhang Qiang didn't think so.

Lifting them up twice and falling down twice is of little use, not even as active as the Lu Jian Guoming Army, with great results, and not as effective as the crippled court of the Yongli court. In this way, Zhang Qiang will ignore them and go My own industrial base, Xianju County, an ordnance base, went to inspect.

Ever since he exchanged muskets and blueprints with the system in Raozhou Prefecture that day, Zhang Qiang has been interested in the new musket.

And François Francis, which guy gave himself a new name, I don’t know if he has gone crazy in the research of matchlock guns, maybe he hurt his nerves when he used the mind control method , which caused him to behave a little abnormally. He read Confucian books and learned the living habits of Ming people. All day long, except for shaking his head and dangling a few poems, he just went to the laboratory to study how to make the matchlock gun more upscale.

This upper class has quite a tradition, just like the later generations, the thinking of foreigners is scattered and their innovation ability is relatively strong, while the thinking of Chinese is horizontal and reverse. Horizontal means that Chinese people will build on the original material basis , come up with a variety of tricks, play with one thing to life and death, with a variety of tricks, to entertain others and fool themselves, while foreigners have scattered thinking, and can always make things more humane, more advanced and decent .

In fact, Zhang Qiang doesn't like matchlock guns very much, but a lot of equipment and research are just to keep half a step ahead of the enemy, and can't teach the enemy too much. It is more thorough, and then it changes to flintlock and rifled flintlock, but this guy is sure about matchlock guns, and tries his best to improve the practicability and advanced nature of matchlock guns. The question is how advanced matchlock guns are. As a latecomer, can Zhang Qiang Do not you know?

Its shortcomings are enough to cover up its advantages, so it was eliminated. Although Zhang Qiang is in the history now, Europeans did not give up matchlock guns until the end of the eighteenth century, using flintlocks and rifled rifles.

So Zhang Qiang directly assigned the task to Sebastian, an artillery expert, and asked him to carry it on his shoulders, and study the gun and the artillery together, because this guy is more loyal and cowardly than François, but his strength is stronger. .

Now Zhang Qiang is in the laboratory of the artillery factory.

It is said to be a laboratory, but it is actually a cylindrical courtyard-like closed courtyard in the south where the artillery factory started.

On the third floor, the patio in the middle of the yard is a bit big, big enough to put some small steelmaking and ironmaking furnaces in it, and then put a series of displayed models and guns, and now add all kinds of guns made Sample.

There are many busy people in the seemingly spacious yard, making the yard crowded.

"Governor, the steel wheel fire has achieved the ultimate. The disadvantage that the flint fire cannot change is that as the use time prolongs, the spring mechanism will become uncoordinated, and then there is no guarantee that the gunpowder can be ignited every time. Before firing, the hammer must be manually pulled to the position where it can be struck. No matter how you do this, you must use a lot of strength. If the strength is too small, you cannot guarantee to pull the trigger and strike the iron.” Sebastian Said to Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang listened carefully to Sebastian's introduction, and carefully checked the model flintgun in his hand.

The flintgun was disassembled, and all kinds of exquisite parts were placed in front of Zhang Qiang.

Sebastian stuck something like a rubber ring and said, "According to what you said, this is an air gasket that is refined with resin to prevent bullets from leaking and hurting soldiers. This is very practical, but it is too fragile, and it probably takes a hundred shots." It is necessary to replace the air gasket every time, and the soldiers must be proficient in it, which puts a high demand on the training of the soldiers.”

"It's nothing, I'm sure the soldiers can get over it."

Zhang Qiang didn't care much.

Hearing what Zhang Qiang said, Sebastian said: "In this way, I can save a lot of work, and I don't have to bother to study other things. I just shape it in this way. Another problem is that using steel wheel friction The fire is still to use the iron to strike the flint fire. I suggest to use the flint to strike the fire, which has a higher fire rate than the steel wheel friction fire, but the flint is too large and must be clamped outside the gun to work, which hinders the line of sight and affects the hit rate. .”

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "Then press the flint into the gun stock on the top of the gunpowder chamber, and make a movable flint loading mechanism. When the flint is used up or not very useful, just replace it."

Sebastian nodded, "This matter has also been settled. Next is the matter of gunpowder, which is the primer. There is no way to solve this. You have to pour the primer manually, and then load it with gunpowder and bullets. This is also something that cannot be changed. It affects the shooting speed."

"Then can we use a rear-loading iron-cased cartridge that is integrated with bullets, gunpowder, priming, etc. like the Dutch have done?" Zhang Qiang couldn't help but wanted to make his gun more powerful. Be more advanced.

"This is not impossible, but you can also see that the disadvantages are also obvious, the range is not far, and there is air leakage, but they made the barrel slightly smaller than the bullet, wider at the back and narrower at the front, so that the kinetic energy of the bullet is greater. The speed of exiting the chamber is faster, but the bullet is deformed, so it is destined that the range will not be too far." Sebastian argued.
