Chapter 204: Made in Hanyang

Seeing that there is no good strategy for attacking the city for the time being, Ning Yu is not willing to use the lives of the soldiers to consume, and the discerning people can already see that Yue Zhongqi is going to tie the people of the whole city to the city, and he really wants to fight hard, even if the Fu Han army can capture the city, there is no way to deal with the upcoming Kangxi army.

It is not a good thing for the army to stop under the fortified city, but Ning Yu is not in a hurry, but just sends a large army to completely surround the city, and then bombards every day without a cannon, the purpose is naturally to keep the Qing army in a tense state at all times, so that it can also quickly consume the opponent's physical strength and state, so that the Qing army will not feel safe in the city.

At present, Ning Yu only has one eye staring at Yue Zhongqi, and more energy is still on Kangxi, who is in Tongcheng. At this point, even Ning Yu had to sigh Yue Zhongqi's old spiciness, if the Fu Han army really lost or suffered a big loss under Anqing City, I am afraid that the Qing army would immediately go south.

If there is any problem in Anqing City, the Fu Han army will not suffer any big losses, at most it will retreat, but if Kangxi has any abnormal movements, then once it is not dealt with well, it will be a tragedy of annihilation.

Ning Yu didn't really stop completely, on the one hand, he was actively making relevant siege preparations, and on the other hand, he was planning to bypass Anqing, so these days he was also in the camp to study the surrounding routes and related information.

"Metropolitan Governor, our new thunder-style flintlock pistol is really good."

Dong Ce walked in from outside the camp tent, holding a flintlock pistol that was not loaded with ammunition in his hand, and his face showed a bit of joy, "Governor, this gun is much stronger than the thing we use now, I sent someone to try the sample gun, and the power and accuracy have increased a lot compared to before!" ”

Ning Yu glanced at it and replied softly: "This gun has only been made a hundred now, we have fifty here, there are also some on other battlefields, and there are twenty in Wuchang, mainly to try some of its advantages and disadvantages, so that Master Lei can further improve it in the future." ”

Dong Ce stroked the wooden body of the gun, and then touched the pure black and shiny barrel with his hand, he couldn't put it down, and said with a smile: "This gun has not found any obvious shortcomings for the time being, as for the advantages, as I said just now, the power and accuracy have increased a lot, and then the soldiers are testing its lifespan, which may take a little time." ”

After sighing, Dong Ce glanced at the flintlock pistol he was using now, and sighed a little, "This gun is a little less, if there are tens of thousands, so as to equip the first division, the combat effectiveness of the first division will be greatly soared!" ”

This is not true, the flintlock pistol used by the Fu Han Army today cannot be said to be not excellent, but it is much worse than perfection, the main problem is that the accuracy is not high, and then the life is short, which is also because the process of producing these flintlock pistols at that time was not mature enough, resulting in many barrels without today's strength, and there is a chance of exploding the chamber after long-term use.

However, relying on this flintlock pistol, the Fu Han army was still invincible, and many soldiers still kept their guns very well, and some soldiers even polished them themselves before they could use them easily.

"By the way, Metropolitan Governor, I heard that this gun was produced from our newly completed Hanyang Gun Factory, and now everyone doesn't call him Lei's gun, but changed it to Hanyang to show the difference from the previous guns."

When Ning Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that the inertia of this history is so strong, and the familiar word made by Hanyang has appeared in his ears again, but today's Hanyangmade is the most advanced rifle in this era.

Speaking of the Hanyang Arsenal, Ning Yu remembered the news sent to him by Wuchang, not long ago, after nearly eight months of construction, the Hanyang Arsenal finally came to an end, and it has been preliminarily completed, and a large number of workers have settled in the arsenal and started production. The Hanyang Iron Works began production as early as a month ago, so the factors restricting the production of weapons and equipment for the Han Army have been reduced to a minimum.

Ning Yu picked up this freshly baked flintlock pistol, the black barrel was heavy, the thick wooden butt had also been polished, and it didn't feel like a clumsy touch, and the number zero forty-seven was engraved on it, and the gun spur sleeve was ingeniously installed elsewhere, which could be removed from the gun thorn, and the whole gun body still exuded a smell of gunsmoke, which showed that it had just been used.

Looking at the flintlock pistol in front of him, Ning Yu felt a little emotion in his heart, for its birth, the hard work he had paid in the past year was not ordinary, and there were massive human and material resources to support its growth, it can be said that Ning Yu couldn't wait to eat steamed buns every day, and also wanted to transfer the excess material resources to this thing.

At present, the Fu Han army is focusing on changing clothes, a large number of captured Qing army's arquebus shotguns, is being restructured by the craftsmen of the army one by one flintlock machine parts, in this way these guns are changed into flintlock guns, although the barrel material and forging process of these guns are the same, the power will not become stronger, but in terms of practicality, it is much stronger, and it also fills the current lack of flintlock pistols of the Fu Han army.

At present, this kind of upgrade seems to have a small amount of work, but Ning Yu still does not dare to relax, this process is currently in a top secret state, Ning Yu does not want to wait until he wakes up one day, and the Qing soldiers he faces are armed with a flintlock pistol, it is simply a nightmare.

The best weapon is not to sleep in the storeroom, but to test it in actual combat to get results. However, Ning Yu did not plan to directly integrate this batch of sample guns into the front-line troops, which would lead to a greater chance of loss, and the structure of the flintlock pistol was not very complicated, if the Qing army got it, then it would speed up the development of the Qing army's musket to a certain extent.

Ning Yu didn't want to waste food because of choking, and after thinking about it carefully, he had an idea - to equip the guard battalion, after all, the guard battalion is different from ordinary troops, it is very strict in terms of military quality and discipline, and it will also go to the front line regularly, so it seems more appropriate to undertake this task.

Therefore, Ning Yu did not hesitate too much, and directly called in Ning Si, and asked him to arrange a company and a half to start replacing with new flintlock guns, but there was also one more requirement, that is, everyone needed to hand in their experience in order to improve the Hanyang Gun Factory in the future.

After getting these fifty new flintlock pistols, Ning Si's heart blossomed, not because of anything else, but mainly because these things are now only available to himself, and these other regiment commanders and battalion commanders are estimated to be envious to death after seeing them, which can be regarded as the only one in the entire Eastern Expedition to restore the Han Army.

"Metropolitan Governor, this Hanyang is quite comfortable to touch, this is much stronger than our old gun." Ning Si smiled, but just when he walked out of the door, he seemed to think of something, and said in a loud voice: "Dadu Governor, that Nizi of the White Lotus Sect is here, saying that she wants to marry you." ”

Hearing this news, Ning Yu was a little surprised, the White Lotus Sect Lady? Isn't that the little son of the Chen family?

He did have a marriage contract with her, but it was just a bargaining chip to prevent the White Lotus Sect from falling to the Qing army for a while, in Ning Yu's own heart, but he didn't take it seriously, if this decisive battle was over, the situation would not be up to the White Lotus Sect to choose.

If you know each other, you can still get a little meat to eat under the banner of the Fu Han Army, and if you don't know each other, Ning Yu is confident that he will completely eliminate those unscrupulous goods in a short period of time. But now it's good, seeing that he has reached the key point of the key battle, this little boy has come to Anqing City regardless of the danger, which is too coincidental.....

Ning Yu never believed in coincidence, he only believed in conspiracy, but the arrival of the little son of the Chen family at the moment gave Ning Yu a little headache, he was really unwilling to see her at this critical time, it was really too much inconvenience, but not seeing her would lead to the deterioration of the relationship between the two families in advance, which was also not in line with Ning Yu's current plan.

Is this seeing or not seeing?
