Chapter 368: Say whatever you say, you have to grab it
Because the feudal towns are almost trying to modify at the same time, there are all kinds of chaotic modification plans, and some of them are even starting to complete the service of small-scale modifications.
The Fuyuan Ordnance Department was even more straightforward, they got a few foreign guns of the Qingshan II rifle, and after their engineers saw it, they gave Shao Bing a suggestion:
Don't waste time tossing and doing all kinds of messy experiments, just follow this Qingshan Type 2 rifle and change it, and the modification plan of the Qingshan Machinery Factory is very good.
Shao Bing is also a shameless person, so he directly ordered the Fuyuan Ordnance Department to be modified like this, of course, the modified rifle is not called this, but uses his own name, Fuyuan rifle.
Anyway, in June and July, that is, during the period from the Luan Civil War to the end, Nanhai Prefecture became popular overnight to play breech-loading rifles.
Thanks to the fact that the people of the Nanhai New Army were doing things all over the state, many feudal towns were given sample guns of the Nanhai rifles, and the result became like this.
Speaking of which, there is also a reason why Lin Ziran has no good impression of those people in the South China Sea New Army.
Forget it if you mess around, this gun is still thrown everywhere, for fear that others will not copy it, but it turned out to be okay, how long has it been, and the entire Nanhai Prefecture has set off a wave of equipped breech-loading rifles.
In this case, not to mention the brand-new Fuyuan musket, even if it is a new Fuyuan musket with eight or nine floors and a modified value, the price on the market continues to soar, and the most important thing is that you can't buy it if you have money.
However, those Fuyuan muskets that have been used for many years and have no modification value have completely turned into rags overnight.
The smoothbore gun has no future, this is known to everyone, if this smoothbore gun cannot be converted into a rear-loading gun, then this smoothbore gun has no more future, and now it will barely be used, but it is estimated that it will not be long before it will become scrap metal completely.
Just like Lin Ziran's side, the waste Fuyuan muskets in this warehouse are piled up, and at least tens of thousands of old Fuyuan muskets are still there.
Lin Ziran and the others had seized a huge number of Fuyuan muskets before, except for some of them that were selected and modified and rear-loading rifles, the rest of those that could not be modified could only remain in the warehouse, at most they were distributed to law enforcement officers such as patrol officers in various places.
In this situation, if you want to modify the Fuyuan musket on a large scale in the future, it is estimated that it is unlikely, and you can only count on the Luo'an Arsenal to continue to increase the production of the Luo'an III rifle.
The technology of this rear-loading rifle spread too quickly, and Lin Ziran was also very helpless about it.
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty lucky.
That is, he began to fight south in March and April, and at that time, the Luo'an Arsenal had already begun to imitate and produce South China Sea rifles.
If you delay it for a few more months before fighting, it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of rear-loading rifles under the hands of Jian Minggang, and in that case, it is difficult to say whether it will be as smooth as before.
Now that's the case, the major feudal towns have their own rear-loading rifle plans, although most of the feudal towns can only get their own small and medium-sized arsenals to modify the Fuyuan musket, but the modified rear-loading rifle is also a rear-loading rifle.
Now if Lin Ziran takes the initiative to go south to fight with Shao Bing's troops, at least in terms of infantry firepower, it is estimated that he will not be able to take any advantage.
As for the performance advantages in the details, such as air leakage and other problems, these seem to be important, but when it comes to fighting, it is not so important.
But Lin Ziran also has an equipment advantage, that is, rear-loading artillery.
So far, the technology of the rear-loading artillery under Lin Ziran's hands has been kept very secret, and the secrets of the rear-loading artillery have not been known to the outside world.
In order to protect the secrets of the rear-loading artillery, Lin Ziran had already concentrated all the relevant technicians in the artillery factory inside the Luo'an Arsenal for closed management.
And the equipment of the rear-loading artillery was also concentrated in the experimental artillery regiment.
These are to ensure that the technical details of the rear-loading artillery are not leaked.
This is also why the other feudal towns basically know that Lin Ziran has rear-loading artillery, but they are stunned that they can't imitate it.
If you look at it from a distance, you will know at most that this is just a cannon, how can you judge the technical details!
However, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and Lin Ziran doesn't know when other feudal towns will get out and load artillery.
So recently he had an idea.
Take advantage of the time difference, and fight a wave before the other feudal towns have come up with rear-loading artillery.
I just stood in Luo'an County and looked around, but I found that it was not easy to fight......
To the north is Du Zhikuan, although the strength of the Guang'an army is a little less, but there is a heavy Guangcheng fortress, put troops in it to defend to the death, and it is more difficult to attack it.
Hexi County in the northwest is not very easy to walk, and Hexi County is also a poor place.
Another key point is that Hexi County and Guang'an County are strategic alliances, even if they will fight among themselves on weekdays, thinking about annexing each other, but when a foreign enemy fights, they unite in minutes.
When Cheng Lingfeng fought Guang'an County before, Hexi County directly sent 8,000 iron cavalry to ambush Feng Haozhong's third division, resulting in heavy losses for Feng Haozhong's third division, and finally had to retreat.
If you go east, don't count on it, the mountain roads in the east are difficult to travel, and there is a Hetai County in the east, this Hetai County is currently the most powerful feudal town in Nanhai Prefecture, with nearly 200,000 troops, and it is also a well-equipped army that has been tested by war for a long time, and it is already overwhelming several counties in the east, and even Shao Bing has to send tens of thousands of troops to the east to assist in the deployment.
If you go south, you will be directly facing Shao Bing.
This southward operation seems to be a flat river, but there are many rivers and it is relatively dependent on the fleet.
Unfortunately, Luohai County has the most powerful navy in the entire South China Sea State.
Therefore, if you go south, you will face a great threat to the opponent's fleet.
In all directions, there is no one to fight!
In other words, if there is something good to fight, Cheng Lingfeng would have fought a few years ago, and it will not be left to Lin Ziran.
Just as Lin Ziran was looking at where he should go for the next expansion, there was news from the state city.
The spies sent by Lin Ziran to the state city reported that there had been a big move in the state city recently, and Shao Bing was recruiting troops on a large scale.
However, this is not the focus of Lin Ziran's attention, Lin Ziran's focus is on the output of the two arsenals under Shao Bing's command.
After the spies found out the output of the other party's Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, they scared Lin Ziran.
In June, the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory produced more than 10,000 South China Sea rifles in one go, and then simultaneously modified 20,000 Fuyuan rear-loading rifles.
What does this mean?
This means that after owning the Fuyuan Machinery Factory, Shao Bing will be able to redress all the more than 100,000 troops under his command in a few months, and by the way, he can also supply several allies around him.
After learning this, Lin Ziran carefully calculated how to go south!
Ma Dan, whatever you say, you have to grab Fuyuan Machinery Factory and Nanzhou Machinery Bureau!
With such a national defense powerhouse, how can Shao Bing be controlled outside of such despicability, he can only let Lin Ziran control it.
In addition, the R&D and production capacity of these two arsenals are too terrifying, and Lin Ziran is afraid that it won't be long before they develop the rear-loading artillery, and then make a lot of rear-loading guns.
That's not a good thing!
