Lord of Ming Dynasty

The hit rate is high, and the enemy is greatly shocked. A round of salvo can knock down at least two rows of soldiers in the enemy. How much shock do you think the enemy has?If you lose [-]% of your troops at once, if you give the lobster soldiers another chance to shoot a volley, then the enemy will basically be hit by [-]% to [-]% of the people. If a troop loses [-]% of its soldiers at once, no matter how good the psychological quality is. The commander also curled his lips in pain.

If, Zhang Qiang said that if he faced the main force of the Tartars in the future, the real Tartar infantry, the Jinhua Rebel Army led by him directly approached the enemy at a distance of 50 meters and fired two rounds of volleys. Joining in, the Qing army's Tartars, whose total strength has reached 60 to [-], cannot bear it.

"My lord, my lord," Zhou Conge shook Zhang Qiang's arm, Zhang Qiang returned to reality from fantasy, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and said, "Well, where did we just talk about?"

The firecrackers of the Ming and Qing armies had to be powerful at 30 meters. At 70 meters, they could only hit leather armor and single-layer cotton armor. At 90 meters, I don’t know where the bullets flew, unless it was Extremely unlucky, unlucky guy, he still doesn't know who he hit.

"Are they all of this quality?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Francis said: "My lord, this is carefully made by villains. If it is someone else, it can only penetrate a single layer of iron armor at 70 meters. If it is of better quality and thicker armor, it may not be able to penetrate."

"The villain suggested that this kind of arquebus can only be fired at 45 meters to 50 meters, so that it can penetrate two layers of iron armor under the premise of ensuring accuracy. If you want to penetrate the three layers of iron armor of the Qing army or two layers of iron armor and one layer of cotton A, shooting at a distance of 30 meters or even 20 meters is guaranteed."

Zhang Qiang was very upset. At this distance, the heavy arrows of the Qing soldiers had already killed the firecracker soldiers.

What he wants is a crushing battle, not a fight with the enemy. Although he has a system, a coach and command skills that the system gives him, as long as he gives himself three months, he can explode a wave of soldiers, but he Consume with the enemy like this.

"Is there a way to increase the power?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Francis said: "Increase the amount of gunpowder and increase the length of the barrel. It can be increased to 55 meters to 60 meters. Three layers of armor can be pierced by one blow. Two layers of iron armor at a distance of 70 meters, and a distance of 85 to 100 meters. Even if the enemy is wearing a layer of iron armor or leather armor, the enemy in cotton armor will be seriously injured or die, and the distance of [-] meters depends on luck."

"Let me see your gunpowder?" Zhang Qiang said.

Francis asked someone to take a barrel of gunpowder. The oak barrel was not big, just like a barrel of infant milk powder.

This looks much better than Daming's bucket-like gunpowder keg, the smaller the bucket, the more uniform the gunpowder.

Looking at the quality, the gunpowder seems to be granular gunpowder. Zhang Qiang has no way to improve it, so he can only say: "Take the gunpowder for refining, and pick the gunpowder with the best quality, the most powerful, full and uniform particles, and good quality gunpowder." , find a special person to manage the gunpowder, and the secret recipe after the gunpowder is prepared must not be disclosed, otherwise there will be no mercy.”

After reading all the steps and materials.

Zhang Qiang pulled Francis over, "Look, Your Excellency Francis, I know that what you gave me is what you think is the best thing in your place, right?"

Francis didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My lord, this villain has already done his best."

Chapter 133 Armory [-]

"Okay, let me ask you, do you have better firearms, such as this short-fired gun?" Zhang Qiang took out the short-fired short-fired gun he was wearing.

Francis said: "My lord, that's all very well, but I don't think I can make a musket like that, and I suppose you mean to make it a quick-fire musket, not a musket, which is a musket. It has long been popular in the West, but even the Western armies are only equipped with cavalry, and after one shot, they use long spears and sabers to destroy the enemy, and it may not be possible to start."

After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Qiang was sure that this guy was not capable of producing firearms, and it seemed that he could only improve on the basis of matchlock guns.

The power can be improved by strengthening the refinement of the gunpowder, or by increasing the amount of gunpowder. As the amount of gunpowder increases, the weight of the matchlock gun will inevitably increase. Then, the burden on the soldiers will be heavier, but Zhang Qiang can only do this now.

The most important thing is the firing speed. He has a way to do this. He told Francis the way he thought of, and Francis said: "My lord, this has also appeared in the West, but in Asia and in the East, people are still used to using black powder powder To fire bullets, only some Portuguese troops and Dutch troops are using some bad-quality granular gunpowder, but as you said, use paper tubes to pack granular gunpowder and bullets together, I am in the East, This is the first time I have heard of it, and even the West is not as rigorous and as good as you said."

"My lord, I can try to get the granule gunpowder and the quantitative paper tube charge, what do you want me to do now?"

Zhang Qiang took that one, and they spent a day and a night to make it about as powerful as the Portuguese matchlock gun. At most, it was considered a relatively sophisticated work among the Portuguese matchlock guns. Doing this is a waste of time."

Francis looked at it, "My lord, you can save three days by not engaging in these arquebus."

Zhang Qiang smiled and said: "That's right, why put some unnecessary things on top, these things are meant to kill people, don't you think it's more enjoyable to kill people when you look at these things?"

"And these," Zhang Qiang pointed to the more delicate faucet on it, "it's almost right, there's no need to be so delicate on the outside, what I want is to be able to push the matchlock into the medicine pool sensitively, and ignite the gunpowder. There is no need to make it so delicate, I think it can save at least two hours, one shot takes two hours, so how much time is seventeen shots?"

Before Francis returned, Zhang Qiang said: "Seventeen shots is more than a day, and we have already spent enough time to build a gun. I mean, it would be better to spend this time on assembly."

"Also, you don't have to manage and participate in every step, you just need to tell your apprentice, I want this part, this part looks like this, how long, how wide, how high, there is a hook there , there is an acute angle there, etc., and then throw it to them, and let them lead a group of people to take care of this part. If he fails to meet the target, then you will deduct his salary. If you can make one and make two in less time, then you reward him with the wages for one extra part.”

Zhang Qiang looked at him, "Look, don't you save a lot of energy? Save a lot of time?"

Francis' eyes were wrong, he looked at Zhang Qiang, and said excitedly: "My lord, you are really knowledgeable, why don't you build guns with me?"

Zhou Porridge covered his mouth and laughed, "My lord is very busy, I don't have time to play with these things with you."

Zhang Qiang asked Zhou Congee for pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and then used his ugly, invisible brush to write and draw his thoughts, and explained them while doing them.

Francis listened like a student.

The more he listened, the more serious his expression became, and the more he admired Zhang Qiang. Of course, as a technician, he had long ignored Zhang Qiang's ugly words, which were as abstract as the ugly Fenghuang pecking rice, which was similar to Zhou Xingxing's classmate. Instead, he focused on learning Zhang Qiang's thoughts and ideas, comprehending Zhang Qiang's two-knife industrial management concept and some management systems, as well as some ideological highlights on how to transform the matchlock gun.

It has to be said that Francis is a very good student, and those selected Daming students are also very smart and quick-witted. Soon many students understood most of Zhang Qiang's thoughts and ideas.

When Francis took Zhang Qiang's dog-climbing brush and explained it to Zhang Qiang again, Zhang Qiang was surprised to find that his thinking was also very smooth, but when he picked up the drawings he wrote When looking at things, there are actually many things that I can't recognize at once.

He couldn't help blushing, he couldn't recognize the words he wrote, he took a sneak look at the students, and saw that none of them had a look of contempt on their faces, and they were all earnestly understanding and studying Jin Sanpang's words. Zhang Qiang smiled with satisfaction when he was serious about his thoughts and spirit.

"Well, you guys, sort out my things and put them together into a book, Francis, help sort them out, and then come to me again, I'll take a rest first."

Handed over to Francis and his Daming students.

Zhang Qiang went to sleep.

In order to watch Francis and the others make matchlock guns, find out some problems, use his brains hard, use his half-baked level to solve problems, and improve the combat effectiveness of his troops. He did spend a lot of energy and time. Close your eyes.

When he got up the next day, Francis found Zhang Qiang and showed Zhang Qiang the specifications that he and the Ming students had sorted out.

I have to say that Francis is very capable, and his thinking is clearer than Zhang Qiang. He quickly grasped the key points and perfected the detailed manufacturing skills and technologies that Zhang Qiang did not know. This is simply a collection of management regulations and technical manuals. collection.

"Very good, subcontracted some unnecessary parts produced by you here to Ming craftsmen outside, and then you were responsible for manufacturing the main parts, and thought of taking advantage of the water conservancy advantage of Xianju County being located by the river."

He turned another page, "Very good, improve some machine tools, then manufacture parts in groups, and finally use the best-learned personnel, plus yourself to participate in the assembly, separate the main parts factories, the distance is far, Although the transportation cost has been increased, it will make our firearms research more confidential in the future and increase the difficulty for the enemy to spy on our military technology."

He looked up at Francis, "You should go to the security department, not the factory."

Francis smiled and said, "Sir, I definitely don't want the technology I have worked so hard to improve to be detected by the enemy. I also thought of this by the way. The main thing is that you have mentioned such a thing, sir, so I perfected it. This is yours. Credit."

"Okay," Zhang Qiang patted the linear manual, "From now on, you will be the director and technical director of this factory, and I will pay you a salary of 100 taels per month. I will give you one percent of the money. I hope you can work hard to complete the task and increase the output of the matchlock gun. Of course, if you improve the technology and increase the shooting speed, range and power of the matchlock gun, I will reward each of them. You get a bonus, if you can create a quick-fire gun, I will reduce your penalty by five guns for each gun, and you will be free soon."

"My lord, my lord." Francis immediately burst into tears, knelt down and was speechless with excitement.

Chapter 134 Armory [-]

A month has passed.

Zhang Qiang still stayed in Xianju County, watching the arsenal, from a repair workshop to a real arsenal.

The arsenal is divided into a gun stock factory, which is mainly responsible for purchasing and inspecting the quality of the gun stocks sent by the people, and slightly processing and sorting them, and then sending them to the warehouse of the firearms assembly factory.

The bolt parts processing factory is responsible for the acquisition, processing and inspection of some external parts collected from the private sector, and at the same time manufactures some confidential parts, which are finally sent to the warehouse of the firearms assembly factory.

The gunpowder factory purchases some folk and outside gunpowder, and refines it into powdered gunpowder, then sends it to the granular gunpowder workshop below for finishing, and then sends it to the inspection workshop for inspection, and finally, to the fixed-pack powder Workshop for custom assembly.

The paper shell factory is responsible for purchasing the paper shells sent by the people for inspection, and sending them to the warehouse of the custom assembly workshop of the gunpowder factory.

The iron factory is responsible for purchasing iron, conducting material research, making suitable materials, and then selling them to those cooperative blacksmiths in the private sector, allowing them to make parts. Good iron materials are sent to the barrel factory, and the barrels of the barrel factory The workshop manufactures the gun barrel. After the gun barrel is built, it is sent to the drill pipe workshop for drilling. A good gun barrel must be inspected and sent to the warehouse of the firearms assembly factory.
