Lord of Ming Dynasty

We can’t always let Sebastian and Francois do research, they need helpers, and it’s too slow to rely on them to train some apprentices, which is not good for the technological development of the Huaxia Army, so Zhang Qiang has to find those folk talents from Huaxia Come out and send them to their research institute, let them learn while helping and inspiring the two of them, so as to speed up their development.

The new carriage was made under the inspiration of Zhang Qiang and with the help of old carpenters and blacksmiths.

At the same time, under the advice and promotion of a businessman or a treasurer-born researcher, he quickly entered the army and civilians of the Huaxia Army, and gained commercial and national interests.

Let the society promote its own development. Zhang Qiang is only a bystander and a guide. Otherwise, with his knowledge structure, insight, and historical knowledge, he will not be able to reach the level of other traversers in 100 years. years of development.

The first thousand and 160 chapters of the first blood on the island

As soon as they came out of the woods, countless Indians appeared on the road in front of them. Everyone was shocked. Now there are still ten miles away from the camp and five miles away from the fort. So many Indians are not the only ones they have. Thirty to fifty guns can handle it, and there are quite a few Indian cavalry.

Just when the lieutenant was dazed, the Indians behind also chased out of the woods. They were surrounded in a hilly area, and despair enveloped each of them.

After the lieutenant came to his senses, he immediately reached out and took out a steamer from his body, and hastily took the scythe handed over by the guard with trembling hands. He hit it several times in a hurry, but it didn't ignite the steamer. , several times, after the guard shook his trembling hand, he lit the gas.

Then, with a flick of the hand, the steamer made a sound of "咻——", rushed into the sky, and then exploded with a "pop", spewing red smoke in the sky, thick smoke that lasted for 30 seconds ,Red.

While he was lighting the fire, the Indians did not stop attacking. The bone arrows killed the slaves one after another. Climb up the hills and use the terrain to block the enemy.

Fusiliers are slower to load bullets than riflemen, but they have more bullets, and riflemen have a fixed number of bullets because they have copper shells, so although they can shoot continuously, five bullets can be loaded in the magazine, but The bullets were loaded a little slower, so it was one shot, one shot, unhurried shooting. The captive slaves also knew that if they did not resist, they would be killed, so they also used the weapons in their hands.

Axes, sticks, hammers, ropes, saws, planes, stones, and other weapons to fight back against the approaching Indians. After all, pirates are fierce people at sea, and they are not afraid of melee combat at all, just let them go At this moment, their aggressiveness is what the Indians don't want to see. Although the Indians have sensitive bodies and are familiar with the woods and terrain, they are not as strong as the pirates, and some are not as strong as the pirates. They are good at close combat, so they still suffer in this respect. They are good at sneak attacks and hunting, and good at group combat, but in melee, they are obviously not as rhythmic as pirates.

Escape, death, injury, and panic caused a lot of casualties to the pirates. The injured basically fell behind and were killed by the Indians. Their heads were tied to their belts or strung on wooden sticks. The capable pirate captives finally There are still more than 80 people left, and there are more than 35 other prisoners who escaped by chance, and there are 140 supervisors who can fight now, and there are still [-] people left, and there are more than [-] people in total.

More than 30 of them were wounded, or had no combat effectiveness, and the others were caught in close combat. The lieutenant stood on the hill and kept shooting and killing the brave Indians who dared to approach the hill 50 meters with short firecrackers. The number of human corpses began to increase. After 5 minutes of fierce fighting, they lost more than 30 people, and the rest were wounded. The Indians lost 80 people. In addition to the previous losses, the Indians lost at least 100 More than [-] people.

Look around, there are at least 1000 Indians. This is a large tribe. Their attacks are fast and fierce. However, after encountering group resistance, their combat effectiveness has declined a bit. In hand-to-hand combat, although they can use their numbers to gain the upper hand , but they couldn't solve the remaining people for a while.

In 5 minutes, taking advantage of the gap between battles, the lieutenant fired two red flares. In less than 30 seconds, a flare rose from five miles away. The lieutenant fired another red flare, and then added a yellow flare.

One minute later, with a few rumbling cannons, the 1-pound cannon on the fort opened fire. The shells from the three cannons, with a sharp whistling sound, fell all around, and only one hit the Indians surrounding them. In the corner of the crowd, they brought the stumps and broken arms of more than a dozen corpses.

The other two shells went astray, one hit the swamp not far away, there was only a muffled sound, and the other hit the edge of the woods, and the branches of a coniferous tree hugged by one person flew across, and the sawdust scattered to the ground. in all directions.

An Indian war horse running in a daze was startled, threw off the rider on it, let out a mournful cry, and galloped away.

The Indians who were burying their heads in the onslaught were startled, stunned for a moment, and then yelled a few times. The Indians attacked even more fiercely. After meeting each other, several businessmen who had just learned close combat were nailed to the ground by the Indians' bidding. A pirate prisoner rushed forward, pulled out a tender, and was just about to fight back when a gunshot sounded from somewhere, covering half of his body with iron sand. He shook and fell to the ground unwillingly.

Then the battle resumed. The pirates formed a regiment and swarmed into the enemy's crowd to hack and kill wantonly. They used the stone axes, bone spears, iron maces, daggers, matchlock guns and wooden spears they had seized. The Indians who were killed retreated every day.

The lieutenant hurriedly killed a few Indian cavalrymen who wanted to rush over with a short-fire gun, and then picked up a loaded flintlock from the hand of a fallen flintlock, aiming at the crowd without aiming. It was just one shot, and just about to throw it away after shooting, an Indian gunman in the distance fired a shot with a captured flintlock, and he immediately flew backwards, scaring the faces of the two shooting guards and they ran over quickly , check his injuries.

"Leave people with you, you can't stay here anymore, the artillery will hit here accurately, just now is just a calibration shot, maybe there will be larger caliber naval guns in the camp to join in, and soon the artillery will cover here."

He said weakly, there was blood and flesh in front of him, probably he was shot in the chest, maybe because of the distance, maybe he dodged for a while, but the effect was only to break his ribs, the bullet hit the bullet belt on his body, There was still a layer of leather armor and thick clothes to block it, so there was no serious matter that caused immediate death. This was a premeditated attack caused by stray bullets.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of rumbling cannons sounded, and three cannon shots almost cleared their way back. A guard immediately jumped up, pulled over the horse, and got on the horse. It is very dangerous to get on the horse at this time, because Bullets were flying, bows and arrows were flying, stones were flying, spears were thrown, and fragments of cannonballs were flying.

But at this moment, there was a lack of a leader, and he shouted, "Follow me to break through." So he took the lead, and the other people around him carried the lieutenant and rushed towards the cleared space while shooting.

The rest of the riflemen and fusiliers fired a volley and knocked down the nearby Indians who blocked the road ahead. Then the pirate slaves in front rushed up and broke the road, and the pirates and others followed, fighting and fleeing. While running, the overseers yelled at the others to run, and after yelling, they ran away themselves. They would not stay and organize these pirate slaves again.

Because the artillery fire from the camp support came, rumbling, starting from the woods, moving slowly, within three or four seconds, with a shell at an interval of 30 meters, the explosion stirred up dust and flying sand and rocks in a radius of 30 meters and 60 meters , and shell fragments, mercilessly harvesting human lives.

The first thousand and 160 chapters and seven defeats

After this group of people who were far away from the camp was attacked by the Indian tribe, another team that went to explore the French port town was also attacked by the Indians and some people who did not know who they were. The scout cavalry Fifteen of the 30 people died, twenty horses were lost, the team lost all the luggage and small artillery, ten people were killed, fifteen were injured, and they withdrew in a hurry.

This time is the biggest crisis since landing on the island for more than a month and a half.

Li Ya estimated that it was because they were attacked by the aborigines on the island, and maybe it was a warning from the French.

All the teams that were close to the camp were withdrawn, and the prisoners lost more than 170 people, and lost most of their labor tools and some firearms.

Now all the people in the camp are in a state of war. Li Ya and Sa Lei selected more than 200 well-behaved pirate prisoners and other guards who robbed them and the merchants who were robbed, and some were rescued from the sea. These people are generally people with rich combat experience.

After losing nearly 200 captives and mobilizing [-] people to form a combat force, they still have nearly [-] captives. These captives began to frantically collect materials within five or six miles under the command of the reorganized supervisor team , And issued a shovel, began to build the communication trenches between the forts and the forts, trenches, set up fortifications, and built new forts between the gaps.

The current scout team has few horses, so the patrol range has reached ten miles away, and they will not go any further, because it is too dangerous, and the Indian cavalry rushes to the place where the fort is being built to harass from time to time. He was repulsed several times by the scout team, and the scout team searched for the captured Indian ponies, but there were only about [-] horses, which could only be used for patrolling.

The loss was not small, the fighting force of 400 people, in addition to some who were originally sick and unacceptable, the loss in this battle directly caused 45 people to be killed and 33 people were injured, which almost wiped out a small team.

On the enemy side, according to incomplete statistics, only about 600 people died. In the eyes of the people in the Huaxia Empire, the indigenous Indians on this island are not even considered garbage, and nearly 300 people escaped from death, but they were also injured. That's because the cannons are too powerful, more than ten miles, which is about half the range of the current Chinese Empire's 75-pound howitzers, and the Chinese Empire's camp used a total of nine [-]mm artillery pieces and five old-style artillery pieces. Eight-pounders, the fruit of the bombardment of two twelve-pounders.

Using 75 shells, one gunner was injured in his foot because of the displacement of the artillery.

After adding 60 pirate captives, more than [-] sailors added five soldiers and two officers, and then allocated [-] relatively well-behaved or naturalized pirate captives to the sailor team. The sailor team guarded the ships, docks, and docks. , and immediately built a walled city around the dock and wharf, and dug a trench, which is about a mile and a half away from the camp.

There are two newly cast Chinese Empire artillery pieces with 128mm caliber. Of course, the casting process and materials cannot be compared with those of the Chinese Empire. The shells used are about 100 shells captured from the Russians, and the other shells are old There are also newly manufactured solid shells with older hollow shells plus ammunition and packaged shells.

The firing range has reached [-] miles, about [-] kilometers. It can cover the sea and the surrounding camps. The fort uses disassembled hull iron plates, plus a semi-automatic rotating fort made by riveting technology, piled with sandbags and semi-open air. turret.

The government pays a certain amount of money to buy the research results.

This is the qualification certificate for all people in the industry. It is an honor to have this certificate, just like a scholar who has been admitted to Tongsheng.

I have to find you when dealing with the government.

Zhang Huangyan walked all the way, passing through the countryside, and learned about these things through the mouth of the young guide who led the way.

These exams are all focused on industry leaders. If you can speak clearly about farm work and record it with the help of others, and if you can understand it yourself, you will be able to obtain a second-level qualification certification.

These people were all requisitioned by the government to help solve problems such as going to the countryside to count the amount of farmland, how much it produces, how much iron can be smelted, how much iron can be hammered in a day, whether some things made by carpenters meet the standards set by the government, and help the government solve the problems of contact with people in these industries.

When you want to go one step further, the government has launched a three-level qualification certification. These people must be able to speak well and be able to count and write. These people are generally veterans or businessmen's buddies, old officials in the government, or have been famous for a long time Some of them are directly recruited by the government and given to a clerk. These clerks spend more than half of their time working in the government, and they are called the low-level clerks of the government.

They have no possibility of being promoted to government servants, but they can assist the government in doing things, even put forward some good suggestions, and develop good things. The government will sell their suggestions and research and development at a high price. This is the government's achievements.
