"Your Highness, this musket is extremely powerful, if it can become an army, its benefits are not small, according to the last general's view, like a horse, foot combat can be, if it is convenient, the last general is willing to try it first, I beg His Highness to give permission!"

Li He has always been the master of taking advantage of the cheap, this time seeing that the musket is so powerful, his heart immediately itched, in front of the officers and soldiers of the first regiment was not good to say, but as soon as he followed Li Xian into the barracks, he immediately couldn't hold back, just sat down, before the soldiers served tea, he couldn't help but stand up, and asked with a look of fascination.

Well, this kid's fox tail is showing again! As soon as he heard Li He say it so seriously, he completely forgot that the nickname "Mu Jun" was given by him Li He, Li Xian couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't laugh much, just because this thing was where Li Xian's headache was - the power of the needle gun is good, both the range and the power are quite amazing, the problem is that it is difficult to equip the army, you must know that the cost of a gun is as much as 20 times, which is not too difficult, after all, Li Xian's family has a big business, no matter how much he squeezes, he wants to make hundreds of thousands of dollars, It's really not too difficult, even if Li Xian is very short of money at this time, but it is not bad for hundreds of thousands of dollars, the real obstacle lies in the production process!

The structure of the needle gun is not too complicated, and there are only four major components, such as the barrel, the bolt, the transmitter and the first four components, which are easy to do, there are many mountains and forests in Hexi, there is no shortage of trees, and there are enough people, it is easy to build according to the process, but the remaining three parts are not so easy, not to mention that there is no modern machinery such as machine tools, which can only be built by hand, which is not easy, but after all, there are assembly line operations that can be arranged as a whole, and they are not afraid that the output will not go up, and the real trouble is that the quality of steel is difficult to ensure - There is iron ore in Hexi, the production of refined iron is a lot, its texture is enough for forging swords, but it is a little insufficient to be used for large-scale weapons, according to the existing steelmaking process, non-hundred refining is not enough to make gun barrels, which is the bottleneck that restricts the large-scale production of firearms, although Li Xian has ordered the research institute to overcome this difficulty, but it will be difficult to find a proper way for a while, and the current firearms production can only be a small-scale trial production, even so, because of the low proficiency of the technicians, The rejection rate is too high, almost reaching the ratio of half to half, in this case, Li Xian really does not dare to launch on a large scale, which is also the most basic reason why Li Xian's first wave only became a regiment, of course, the production of bullets also has several bottlenecks, the most critical is in the production of smokeless ** - the nitric acid necessary for the preparation of nitrocellulose can only be produced on a small scale in the laboratory at present, and a suitable catalyst has not yet been found. There are too many missing chemistry books that the researchers in the research institute can only grope their way forward, and only God knows when they can come up with a reasonable process.

"This gun is too long, Ma Zhan has other firearms, don't worry, you won't lose your Hehuang army."

Although it is difficult to make firearms, after all, there is already a considerable foundation, with the maturity of the process, it is not impossible to solve the difficulties everywhere, and the current difficulties Li Xianzi does not want to make it public, of course, he can't treat the Hehuang Army, the descendant of the lineage, which gives a vague guarantee.

"Your Highness, is that firearm as powerful as this musket?"

Although he got Li Xian's assurance, Li He refused to stop there, and his mind was still wandering around the needle gun.

"Almost."

Seeing Li Hehou's anxious appearance, Li Xian suddenly had some interest in teasing him, so he deliberately sold Guanzi.

"Ah, then it's still bad, Your Highness, the combat effectiveness of our Hehuang Army has always been the best in the world, the guy who eats either doesn't need it, or if you want to use it, you have to be the best, hehe, Your Highness, or these guns will be given to the last general, okay?"

Li He has always shown people with a resolute and even arrogant face outside, but in front of Li Xian, that is the master of a laiskin, after seeing the power of the needle gun today, the itch in his heart has become big, that is, he will not let this batch of needle guns fall into the hands of the first regiment, even if there are actually only twelve sample guns at this time, Li He does not want to let go, so he took out the kung fu of dead skin and face, and stubbornly pestered Li Xian.

"You kid, you're still the same, you don't forget to pull any good things into your own bowl, yes, I'm afraid of you, Ziming, take the handcuffs."

Li He's Lai Pi was energetic, Li Xian couldn't help but be angry and funny, and he didn't bother to mess with the mushrooms with him, so he laughed and scolded, raised his hand, and ordered Liu Ziming.

"No!"

The Hexi Military Factory has just begun to build, not to mention the molding process, that is, even the factory has not yet been erected, and all the firearms are the sample guns specially created by the researchers of the research institute in the laboratory, in addition to the twelve needle guns, there are only four handcuffs available, not to mention the needle guns, those long guys are the first regiment of the bag, as for the four handguns, Liu Ziming Ke kept an eye, thinking that he could rub the next one for his own use, but he didn't expect that he hadn't had time to ask Li Xian for it, The problem is that Li Xian has already opened his mouth, and Liu Ziming is no longer happy, so he can only respond sullenly, reluctantly unhooked the holster from his waist, and handed it to Li Xian's sons together with the bullet bag, and when he turned around, he didn't forget to glance at Li He fiercely to show his dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, Your Highness, how is this handcuff used? Can you let the last general try his hand? ”

In the case of being cheap, Li He's temper is generally very good, Rao is Liu Ziming's eyes were round, Li He didn't care at all, pretending not to see it, he came to Li Xian with a slanderous face, staring at the handcuffs on a few sons with greedy eyes, but swallowed his saliva vigorously, and the thief made a request with a smile.

"It's called a revolver, and it's very easy to use, so look good."

Li Xian was in a good mood at this time, and he didn't care about Li He's hippie face, and reached out and took out a strange-looking gun from the holster - it was weird, that was because this gun was too big, and it was several times bigger than the small **** in later generations, not to mention, the magazine part was almost bulging into a ball, no way, it was not that Li Xian didn't want to make a **** in the real sense, but the technical reserves were insufficient, as far as the current level of science and technology was concerned, there was no big leap in ten or eight years, It's hard to make a breakthrough in manufacturing technology, so you can only rely on such a stupid guy as the whole firecracker.

"Hit the bullet, open the insurance, aim at the target, pull the trigger, and you can hit it within thirty steps, as for the power, I won't say anything, if you want to try, you will go to the tent with Ziming to try."

As Li Xian spoke, he skillfully took out six large paper shell bullets from the bullet bag, stuffed one of them into the magazine, and then turned the magazine, flicked the safety on the gun, but did not open the safety one by one, raised his hand and aimed at it casually to demonstrate, and then threw the handcuff into Li He's arms.

"Ha, that's a good dare, thank you Your Highness, I'm going to try it at the end."

As soon as the gun arrived, Li He couldn't bear it, so he screamed excitedly, and regardless of whether Liu Ziming was happy or not, he grabbed it and rushed out of the barracks.

"This stinky boy is still so breathless!" Li Xian trusted Li He very much, and didn't care about his rude performance at all, just laughed and scolded, and turned his gaze to Xiao Sanlang, who had been standing silently aside.

"Your Highness, the last general was entrusted by His Royal Highness to train elite soldiers, but he failed to fulfill his duties, so that there was a group fight, it was the last general's dereliction of responsibility, and I ask His Highness to punish him."

The previous group beating incident was not small, and Agutai, who was the one who caused the incident, had already been fined a hundred military sticks, Xiao Sanlang couldn't help but worry a little about whether the punishment would be heavier, after all, it was the first group to do it, this time Li Xian's eyes turned around, and he hurriedly bowed down, and preemptively asked for guilt.

"Although the heavy responsibility for this matter is on the side of Agutai, Keer failed to restrain his subordinates, but also had it, Lone has always had clear rewards and punishments, and afterwards he went to the military justice department to receive fifty military sticks, this matter will be revealed, and there must be no more disputes between the two armies, otherwise, Hugh blames Gu for not being merciful!"

Xiao Sanlang can serve as the head of the first regiment such an important position, it is from Zhang Cambodia's strong advice, Li Xian himself actually still has some doubts about this, but after observing the training level of the first regiment today, Li Xian's doubts in his heart have been dispelled, and he is in a good mood, but he doesn't want to deal with Xiao Sanlang again, besides, Li Xian himself is not against the small friction between the armies, after all, how can an army without blood and courage become a real strong army, but this matter can only be acquiesced, but cannot be openly advocated, If there is such a big mess, the punishment that should be given will naturally have to be given, otherwise, there will be no way to talk about military regulations and military discipline.

"No, the last general should strictly obey His Highness's orders!"

Xiao Sanlang was not afraid of being beaten with a military stick, he was afraid of losing the leadership of the first regiment, especially after seeing the power of the musket, he didn't want to lose such a position that could definitely leave a name in history.

"That's it, let's not talk about it, San Lang has been leading the army for more than three months, do you have any experience with this?"

Li Xian's first purpose here is to cheer up the first regiment, as for the second purpose is to touch the bottom of Xiao Sanlang, to see if he really has the ability to lead the first regiment, although from the previous exercises, it can be seen that Xiao Sanlang does have some ability, but the existing drill alone is not enough to fully prove Xiao Sanlang's strategic and tactical level, and Li Xian will not let go of the assessment.

"Your Highness Mingjian, since the end of the army, has never dared to slack off, although it has only been more than three months, but there are quite some ideas, I don't know if it is feasible or not, and I ask Your Highness for advice."

Xiao Sanlang was obviously prepared for this assessment, and when he heard Li Xian's words, he immediately reached out and took out a crumpled booklet from the pocket of his military uniform, held it in both hands, and handed it to Li Xian.

"Oh?"

Seeing that this booklet was not small in thickness, and there were many wrinkles on it, it was obviously something that Xiao Sanlang was carrying, Li Xian's curiosity immediately rose, he reached out to take it, and read it carefully......
