After settling in Liuzhou Mansion, if you want to say that the busiest institution, it must be the Ministry of Industry!

Although other departments are also busy, for example, the newly established Xingquan Prefecture Patrol Police Bureau, not only to establish a sound public security organization, but also to undertake the work of rectifying the city's appearance and appearance of the Xingquan Prefecture under its subordinate office.

The army was conquered in Liuzhou City on the seventh day of January in the second year of Xuanping, and the next day various institutions had already been set up in Liuzhou City, and these people worked continuously for more than half a month, and finally sorted out the appearance of Liuzhou Mansion.

However, compared to the Ministry of Industry, the workload of these institutions is still too small!

After the army conquered Liuzhou, the officials of the Ministry of Industry, many craftsmen and many newly recruited workers who had been sent in the early stage and many newly recruited workers had prisoners of war to enter Liuzhou City for the first time, and then began to directly requisition a large number of houses as workshops.

Although because the Ministry of Industry was well prepared, the workshops had been planned in advance before the capture of Liuzhou City, and the heads of various steel workshops, musket workshops, wood workshops, artillery workshops, gunpowder workshops, bow and arrow workshops, sword workshops, etc., as well as a few core backbones, had already been in place in advance.

However, after entering Liuzhou City, it is still difficult to carry out specific work!

Although all kinds of workshops in the Tang Dynasty are basically handmade in these years, there is basically no professional and large-scale equipment, but when they first arrived, and there were no rules and supply systems, they needed to be slowly improved, so it was actually very difficult to really start.

For example, the workshops that make guns and cannons, they need steel workshops, they need wood workshops to cooperate, otherwise they can't produce workshops out of nothing.

And when the timber and steel mills are unable to supply semi-finished products, they will have nothing to do.

Wood workshops and steel workshops, they also need a variety of raw materials, such as wood, the wood used to make musket guards and butts is not just any wood, but needs fine texture, good toughness and other excellent wood, such as walnut, catalpa, iron knife wood, cork, ash, etc.

Another example is steel, Liuzhou, a ghost place, is not a place to produce iron, although it is said that a few small iron mines have been found, but the output of these iron ores is no different from nothing, because it is difficult to mine, the quality is poor, and it is basically difficult to use in the industrial system of the Tang Dynasty, which is still in manual work today.

On the contrary, a few small iron ores were found in Guilin, but the output was very small.

Nowadays, in the various regions of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, many prefectures and counties have iron ore, but there are basically small reserves, smaller output, poor quality and other characteristics, barely able to supply a part of the iron for the Tang Dynasty, but it can only meet a small part, the big head still needs to continue to import, of course, the Tang Dynasty is also collecting civilian iron, and the waste weapons seized from the Ming army are recast to build weapons, farm tools, etc.

The output of the workshops designed here in Liuzhou is huge, and this requires a sufficient supply of raw materials!

However, the supply channel of raw materials is still being established, and it cannot be supplied in large quantities for a while!

At the same time, a large number of craftsmen and skilled workers required for Liuzhou workshops are still on the way from Xingquan Mansion to Liuzhou, so it will take some time to produce them on a large scale!

At present, the workshop in Liuzhou City is only in the stage of small-scale commissioning and production, and it will take at least a month to achieve large-scale mass production, and even reach the previous output of Xingquan Mansion!

However, even the raw materials and personnel have not yet arrived, but in order to meet the ordnance needs of the army, in fact, the workshop of the Ministry of Industry in Liuzhou is already in the stage of small-scale production, but the output is not high!

Because of the importance of the workshops under the Ministry of Industry, on the third day after arriving in Liuzhou, Li Xuan took hundreds of civil and military officials to inspect the workshops under the Ministry of Industry, especially the most important musket workshops and artillery workshops!

When inspecting the workshop, Li Xuan even fired a few shots with his own hands in order to show his attention to the ordnance workshop, of course, in order to ensure safety, the muskets used for Li Xuan were carefully selected and strictly tested to ensure that they would not explode.

And the style of this musket is also different from the previous one, although it is still a fourteen mm arquebus, but the details are convenient and slightly adjusted, and the accuracy and convenience have been slightly improved compared with the previous muskets, which Li Xuan is still quite satisfied.

Before the flintlock pistol was developed, the arquebus in his hand was basically at the first-class level of arquebus, and it was not much worse than the arquebuses of Western countries.

Even because of the use of paper shell fixed ammunition, sleeve bayonet, front sight, and ruler, the actual development of arquebuses in the Tang Dynasty has surpassed that of Western countries.

If the firing mechanism could be replaced with a sustained one, this musket would have been used all the way to the Mini rifle or even the rear-loading rifle with metal fixed cartridges!

In the artillery workshop, Li Xuan also inspected the 150 catties of battalion guns produced, of course, the artillery was too dangerous, and he still wouldn't test fire it himself.

After inspecting the workshop, Li Xuan said that all kinds of equipment of the follow-up troops, such as muskets and artillery, must strictly follow a unified standard, and the guns and cannons produced by each workshop must be of the same specification and cannot be produced indiscriminately.

For this reason, Li Xuan also specially set detailed models and parameter standards for the existing muskets and artillery, and the existing muskets are called Xuanping two-year rifles, which use 14 mm caliber, arquebus firing mechanism, fire paper shell fixed ammunition, sleeve bayonet, ruler, and crosshair.

The 150-pound battalion cannon is also stereotyped as the first-year two-pound camp gun.

The 500-kilogram artillery was stereotyped as a two-kilogram long-term field artillery of the first year, and the 800-kilogram artillery was stereotyped as a two-year-type five-kilogram field gun.

The difference between the camp artillery and the field artillery is that the combat use is differentiated, the artillery that can directly accompany the infantry in combat is stereotyped as the camp artillery, while the artillery that implements artillery suppression is stereotyped as the field artillery.

This distinction is not made by weight, not by the type of shells fired, not by the caliber, not by the length of the body, but only by the combat use!

The names of two catties and five catties replace the previous practice of distinguishing by the weight of the gun, but by the weight of the fired shells, but they do not strictly follow the weight, but only take an integer.

For example, the original 800-kilogram artillery actually fired less than five kilograms of solid shells, but it was also called five kilograms.

The name of these catties is similar to the size and model of the guns used in pounds in the West at this time, and the weight of the shells fired by the artillery of the Tang Dynasty and the artillery of the West is actually about the same, although there is a gap, but it can basically be regarded as the same level of things, for example, two catties of artillery can basically correspond to the three-pounder artillery of the West, five-pound artillery can correspond to six-pounder artillery, and seven catties correspond to nine-pounder guns.

The 1,300-pound artillery fires a solid shell weighing about seven pounds, which is roughly the same as the nine-pound artillery in the West, so this artillery is also called a two-year-old seven-pound field gun.

These titles, the year is used to distinguish the specific model of the same type of artillery, the weight of the shell is to distinguish the power of the artillery, and the camp gun and field gun are used to distinguish the use.

It is more accurate to distinguish between 150 catties, 500 catties, 800 catties, and 1,300 catties of artillery than in the past.

Of course, there is basically only one generation of various types of artillery in the Tang Dynasty, so the previous years can also be omitted, and it is directly referred to as two catties of camp guns, two catties of field guns, five catties of field guns, and seven catties of field guns.

Determine the model and parameters, this is Li Xuan's order to avoid the different calibers and sizes of the guns produced by various workshops, so that they cannot be universalized.

When Li Xuan inspected Liuzhou City and then rectified the situation of various institutions in Liuzhou City, the military operations of the Tang Dynasty Division did not stop.

However, while the military operation continued, Li Xuan first made a new round of adjustments to the combat direction of the various units of the Tang Dynasty Division and the commanders of each unit!

First of all, the two battalions of this division belonged to the 1st Infantry Brigade, the 2nd Infantry Regiment, and the 3rd Garrison Brigade respectively, but because they were far away in Guilin, it was actually difficult to maintain close contact with the 1st Infantry Brigade and the 3rd Garrison Brigade.

Li Xuan simply organized this part of the troops separately and set up the first provisional regiment, with Lieutenant Colonel Xu Ke, deputy commander of the Second Infantry Regiment, as the head of the regiment, and the original Second Reserve Battalion, the 13th Garrison Battalion, and the Guilin Independent Garrison Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment were all included in it, and they were successively given the names of the 1st Provisional Battalion, the 2nd Provisional Battalion, and the 3rd Provisional Battalion.

The 2nd Infantry Regiment, the 3rd Garrison Brigade rebuilt its reserve battalion and the 13th Garrison Battalion.

At the same time, the First Reserve Battalion and the Fourth Garrison Battalion of the Fourth Infantry Regiment that had moved south from central Guizhou to Qingyuanfu in Guangxi were also reorganized into the Second Provisional Regiment, and the various units were renamed the Fourth and Fifth Battalions of the Provisional Battalion.

The establishment of the provisional regiment is a unit specially set up by Li Xuan to have a secondary front, and it is only a temporary formation, and there is no strict rule on whether these troops are regular troops or garrison troops, but there is no doubt that these troops will mainly use cold weapons.

In addition, since these units are prefixed with the temporary formation, it means that they will be dismantled, split, or merged at any time, and they are a temporary establishment that will not exist for a long time.

For example, after taking Guilin and other places in northeastern Guangxi, the first temporary corps will definitely be withdrawn, and these troops will be reorganized into the regular army or garrison army in the future.

Of course, the establishment of a provisional infantry regiment is only a rectification of the existing troops, especially the partial divisions on the secondary front, and a clear command relationship.

Compared with the establishment of the provisional regiment, what has changed more is the adjustment of the main force!
