Lord of Ming Dynasty

"But, are Jierhalang and Mangurtai still there?" Dorgon asked worriedly.

"Didn't he already be transferred to help King Kong Youde of Jingnan fight against the Southern Ming Kingdom? Just transfer Mang Gurtai to Sichuan, and Yunnan and Guizhou fight against Li Dingguo?" Fan Wencheng is quite competent as a counselor.

"Okay, but without their two armies, how can we suppress the Huaxia army on the other side? If the Huaxia army takes the opportunity to attack, what should we do?" Dorgon asked.

"The state of Lu was squeezed out of the land of Ming Dynasty, so it's right to send Mr. Ganglin to the state of Lu and take Zheng Zhilong's family with him?" Fan Wencheng said.

Dorgon's eyes lit up, "Master Fan's trick is to return Zheng Zhilong's family, which can shake Zheng Chenggong's confidence, and release the news to the Huaxia Army, which can make the Huaxia Army suspicious and drive a wedge between the Huaxia Army and the State of Lu. The Lu State and the Huaxia Army must contain each other, sharing the positive pressure of Master Hong. They also separated Zhu Yihai and Zheng Chenggong. Although it may not have much effect, it will definitely cause discord between their monarchs and ministers, and mutual suspicion. At least let Zhang Huangyan say that they treat Zheng Chenggong It's not that he wants to follow his father and join me in the Qing Dynasty. It will make the country of Lu restless."

Shunzhi listened to their playing right behind him, sparks appeared in his eyes, he was already 16 years old, and the children of the emperor's family were precocious. Although he was still a seal emperor, he couldn't wait to take charge of the government himself.

When Dorgon saw Fan Wencheng looking behind him, he suddenly turned his head. Shunzhi's eyes immediately returned to the blankness just now, and he continued to be his puppet emperor.

Dorgon turned his head and touched his chin, "No, transfer Haoge to Mr. Hong. It will take him some time to walk from Sichuan to Yangzhou, just enough to catch up with the gap between the two transfers and maintain the numerical advantage of the army." , There is a gap in this period of time, so Master Hong can use what he has learned to try his best to handle this matter well."

Fan Wencheng said: "My lord is right, my lord is wise."

Chapter 351 The Flintlock Rifle Comes Out

With a "snap", the newly developed flintlock fired in his hand.

Get off the gun, and take out bulk mushroom-shaped bullet paper tubes wrapped in hardened kraft paper from the double-layer coarse cloth ammunition pocket coated with tung oil, paraffin wax, and water. Holding the gun in the left hand, the thumbnail of the right hand is facing the mushroom-shaped bullet. Swipe lightly on the cap protrusion of the hard pressure ring, and then flick it, the cap will fly to the ground, and a small triangular hard mark will appear when the thumb and index finger pinch lightly.

Along this crease, the gunpowder granules inside are poured into the barrel. The granule gunpowder is the baked whole granule gunpowder that has been weighed and bonded together with a little glue, that is to say, the granule gunpowder It has also been made into quantitative, large, granular gunpowder that can be directly ignited and shot.

This kind of granular gunpowder has gone through countless tests. The range can reach 120 meters. Armor, leather armor, even if you wear two layers of finger-thick pine boards, you can easily penetrate it.

120 meters is equivalent to 240 steps, or calculated according to the o.75 meter step calculated by later generations, it is about [-] steps. At this distance, even Qing army archers who use heavy longbows cannot shoot arrows effectively. so far.

At this distance, even if the horse charges, the fusiliers can fight for two rounds before the enemy can enter the range of 100 meters, and the bows and arrows of the Mongols can only be effective after [-] or [-] steps, because most of them use Hard bow, short bow.

Thirty steps is equivalent to 15 meters, and sixty is equivalent to 30 meters. When they enter this range, even a two-row musketeer team can shoot at least five to seven rounds of bullets.

If there are enough musketeers, the enemy will not be able to advance within a hundred steps, which is equivalent to 50 meters away. Three-stage shooting can ensure that the enemy will always hover 50 meters away. Of course, if the enemy has sufficient troops and is not afraid of death or injury, then another It's another matter, maybe it can consume a lot of musketeer's bullets based on the number of people, maybe it can make a further breakthrough.

However, the improvement of the flintgun has increased the firing rate by more than a little, simplified the loading rate, simplified the musketeer's time from unloading the gun to shooting, and to preparing to shoot again and reduced the steps.

No matter how simple it was before, soldiers had to use at least 40 to [-] or [-] steps. The simplification from more than [-] steps to [-] to [-] or [-] steps was a big improvement, and it was also Zhang Qiang who made Francois constantly Contribution to improving the matchlock, now again with a lot less steps.

Soldiers only need to go through the process of unloading the gun, holding the gun, taking out the bullet, then loading the gun, covering the wind cover, loading the bullet, stabbing it with a cleaning rod, and then stuffing the hard shell paper tube in by hand, Twelve steps, such as raising the gun, aiming, and pulling the trigger, are enough. Compared with the previous [-] steps at most, it is three steps less, and it is three to four seconds faster. But these four seconds, Three steps can also determine a person's life or death.

A skilled soldier only takes a dozen seconds, a semi-skilled soldier takes more than 30 seconds, and a soldier who is not familiar with it takes more than 40 seconds. Maybe a soldier who has just trained for a few days gets a variety, but this After this simplification, even a recruit can load and shoot within 1 seconds, which means that a recruit can shoot two bullets in one minute without much training. .

At this point, even those seventeenth-century soldiers in Europe couldn't be faster with matchlock guns.

Shoot three to four bullets in one minute, at a distance of 1 meters, even at a distance of 150 meters, you only need to thicken the team of musketeers to five to six rows, and you can form continuous firepower, even if it is cavalry, the number is small , and simply can't rush to the front of the wall of fire.

Needless to say Zhang Qiang's shooting speed, as a time traveler, he deeply knows that it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself. Once he came to this world, he would face the threat of survival, so he must practice his skills hard.

Martial arts is impossible. It takes a long time to train the body to reach the top. Zhang Qiang doesn't have that much time. Choosing musket as one of his protective weapons is the best choice for every traveler.

After the flintgun shot, a bullet hole appeared on the target 120 meters away, and one side of the four-millimeter-thick plate armor made by the Huaxia Army was pierced front and back.

Although it is a lead bullet, this kind of bullet has a little oval pointed tip. It already has the prototype of a miniature bullet. In addition, it has a large caliber, about 11 mm. This kind of bullet with the thickness of an adult's index finger must be very powerful. There is no possibility of deformation due to softness.

However, this is a flintgun with a rough straight rifling. Compared with a pure smoothbore matchlock, it has a higher aim and flies farther.

There is still a huge lethality at a distance of more than 200 meters, but the accuracy is definitely not good.

Wan Siyuan on the side said to Zhang Qiang: "Governor, after Sebastian developed it, he handed it over to Mr. Francois for finalized production. Now this kind of gun you call a flintlock has produced a thousand guns." There are [-] pieces. But without your order, the production cannot be expanded. The [-] pieces are going to be tested in various troops on the battlefield. After the final experiment, they will be produced according to your arrangement."

Zhang Qiang put down the flintgun, "Okay, that's right, it's just him, don't experiment, let's start production, first produce [-] yuan, first equip the first brigade of guards, and equip the rest of the brigade commanders at the lieutenant level The pro-guards should produce it as soon as possible, equip it as soon as possible, let them familiarize themselves with and use this gun as soon as possible, and then slowly improve it later. The work of this improvement will be handed over to François, and you just need to focus on the production.”

Wan Siyuan, the director of the arsenal factory in Jinhua Mansion identified by Zhang Qiang, asked again: "Governor, this gun hasn't been named yet."

"Let's call it the Huaxia Type 1 musket."

Zhang Qiang took the water bottle handed over by the guard, took a few sips happily, wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, and said casually.

"When we were called the Jinhua Rebel Army, the matchlock guns produced were called Jinhua Type 1 Matchlock Guns. After the improvement, they were called Jinhua Type 1 Matchlock Guns. Now we are the Huaxia Army, and the governor called the new gun the Huaxia Type 1 Fushen Gun. Gun, Commander, you really know how to come up with names." Wan Siyuan laughed.

"Anyway, it's a murder weapon, just a tool, and it's not your mother-in-law. Why do you want such a good name? It's not for looking good." Zhang Qiang replied with a casual smile.

"Yes, yes," Wan Siyuan smiled and helped the guards lead Zhang Qiang's war horse over, handed the reins to Zhang Qiang, and helped Zhang Qiang jump onto the horse by supporting Zhang Qiang's waist.

"Produce it as soon as possible and equip the troops. The Qing army on the opposite side is already learning from us, so we have to use more advanced weapons than them. Maybe three months, maybe four months, or...well, in short, it will only take half a year. They are about to call, and our days of peace and comfort are numbered." After speaking, Zhang Qiang beckoned his personal guards to walk away.

He has more things to do.

Chapter 352

Zhang Qiang returned to the Governor's Mansion with his personal guards, and had to deal with official duties as soon as he sat down.

Now he is the lord of a country. Although the civil administration has been handed over to Zhou Porridge, the personnel arrangement, military affairs, general direction control, diplomacy, and internal and external intelligence work, as well as the supervision and appointment of hundreds of officials, still have to be handled by him. finalize.

The Nanming Kingdom of Longwu was called Nanming Kingdom, and the Nanming Kingdom of Lu Jianguo was called Lu Kingdom. Just half a month ago, Yongli, which was far away in Burma, was also spread to the world. Yongli Nanming was changed to Daming Kingdom, and it was also established. a country.

Affected by this wave of nation-building, a week ago, Chahar Mongolia also announced the establishment of the Chahar Khanate. Sunit proclaimed himself the Khan, and Chadar, who cooperated with him, was named Dataiji. It is equivalent to the prime minister or the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, and a military general who is older than the commander-in-chief is equivalent to the minister of defense with the rank of governor of the Huaxia Army.

The Qing Dynasty also established the Qing Dynasty, but I don’t know about it in places farther away. Anyway, this trend is spreading in the land of Ming Dynasty and has become a fashion.

Although Zhang Qiang did not publicly ask the Ministry of Rites to announce the founding of the Huaxia Army, the various forces outside and all established countries called the Huaxia Army the Huaxia Kingdom.

Zhang Liang, the eunuch leader of Longwu Zhu Yujian, the chief eunuch, is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Huaxia Army, managed by Zhang Qiang, and also dispatched by Zhou Porridge. Since he was sent to Yongli Nanming's Feng Shuangli Department, Feng Shuangli has now defected to Longwu The Nanming Kingdom of Nanming once again went to Nanming Kingdom as an envoy.

Deals with the implementation of some previously concluded treaties.

After a month and a half of activities, I finally finished that aspect and came back to report to Zhang Qiang.

Two people sat facing each other, a table of eight immortals, two pots of jasmine tea, talking about things while drinking tea.

Not counting Zhang Liang's status as a eunuch, Zhang Liang is a handsome official and a capable member. Longwu Nanming's affairs were handled very well by him.

Provide weapons and equipment, anyway, those are captured weapons and equipment, after use, most of them have gaps or light color is not bright, or even though they have not been used, Huaxia Army soldiers will not use those equipment, even some newly occupied Huaxia Army The village guards on the land used some inferior cold weapons from the Huaxia Army arsenal.

These low-quality cold weapons are all defective products, it is a pity to throw them away, and the cost of returning them to the furnace is high, so they are handed over to the village guards for use. There is nothing distressing about throwing them away or being captured by the enemy. The weapons you are using now are new, good, and of high quality. When you are slashing against the enemy, if your strength is not as good as others, you will only knock the weapon into the air instead of damaging it immediately.

The weapons used by the militia are the weapons that were eliminated by the main force originally produced. Although they are a bit old, the quality is definitely good.

The garrison used newly produced weapons. After improvement, they were quite sharp and easy to use. The regular soldiers of the main force used the same weapons as them.

These weapons and equipment seized from the Qing army provided to Nanming were all sold by Zhang Liang at a good price, and a considerable amount of gold and silver was exchanged.

In exchange for a lot of goods, such as raw silk, iron ore, tea, porcelain, salt and other things that the Huaxia Army needs, it is equivalent to the price of cabbage back, and the Huaxia Army can earn three times the profit just by changing hands once.

It has effectively increased the financial revenue of the Huaxia Army.
