Pro~ The domain name of this site: the abbreviation homonym of "166", which is very easy to remember! It is highly recommended to look good: The field soldiers of the mighty army have all assembled on the school field in Baoding Fucheng at this time.

Liu Yuliang and Lu Xiangsheng came to observe under the leadership of Lu Yuan.

He was accompanied by a group of military attachés under Lu Xiangsheng.

The first thing Lu Xiangsheng saw was the infantry phalanx of the mighty army, but this already surprised him: "They are all wearing cotton armor, iron arms, iron helmets, Jing Fang, you are really willing to raise soldiers!" ”

Not only Lu Xiangsheng, but even Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu who came with him, was also surprised.

You must know that a pair of cotton armor costs at least two taels of silver, and an iron helmet costs one or two or five taels of silver, even a chief military officer like him dares to equip hundreds of people like this at most, and Lu Yuan has thousands of soldiers here, which can only show that Lu Yuan is wealthy.

"Equip the soldiers like this, can you not defeat Jiannu?"

Hu Dawei couldn't help but whisper to Yang Guozhu in the back at this time.

Yang Guozhu also nodded.

The other military attachés also admitted that it was impossible not to be strong in such equipment.

But let them equip the soldiers like this, they are naturally unwilling to do it, after all, they can't afford to raise so many cotton armor soldiers even if they take all the money they eat.

You must know that even Jiannu can't make all Jiannu wear heavy armor.

Lu Yuan replied to Lu Xiangsheng at this time: "Don't dare to hide it from the governor, the last general's family has quite a lot of property, so he can make such a capital." ”

Lu Yuan naturally did not say that he has a complete steel industry and machinery industry, which is equivalent to having the most basic military base, efficient steel smelting technology and textile technology have already reduced the cost of cotton armor and armor very low, and he still has the spring breeze cotton cloth and cement sold overseas to make a profit, so he can naturally raise so many soldiers.

After all, he was still worried that his secrets would be taken directly by the imperial court after Lu Xiangsheng knew about them.

Therefore, Lu Yuan only explained vaguely.

"Jingfang is Kuang Fu Sheji, and he would rather support the army at home, which really makes the governor admire."

Lu Xiangsheng said.

Liu Yuliang also laughed and said: "This is indeed rare, Lu Yuan deserves to be a loyal and brave general!" ”

Lu Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly, one was the head of the cabinet and the other was the governor, both of whom said good things about themselves, which gave him the illusion that he was not a subordinate.

"Lu Yuan, why don't your battalion soldiers have fireworks? The Governor has long wanted to ask you, but has been delayed by redundancy, and now he has the opportunity to ask you, and you will tell us carefully. ”

Lu Xiangsheng noticed the flintlock pistol of the mighty army at this time, so he asked.

Liu Yuliang also smiled in the same way: "It just so happens that this inspector also understands, Lu Yuan, you tell me carefully, why is there no arquebus in this firearm, or is it a bird?" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Lu Yuan replied, then took the firearm in Zhou Laojiu's hand, and explained to Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Yuliang: "Supervisor, Governor, please see, the key to this firearm is this hammer and flint, he can use the hammer to hit the flint, and then the spark of the flint ignites the gunpowder, so it is called a flintlock pistol." ”

"Flintlock pistol?"

Liu Yuliang, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu and other civil and military officials all fell into deep thought.

Lu Yuan continued: "Because there is no arquebus, this flintlock pistol can speed up the firing speed and reduce the firing time of the firearm, in addition, it is not afraid of rainy days, the reason why the lower official was able to repel Jiannu in Wuqing City is because of the fast firing speed of this firearm, so it can restrain its cavalry charge, of course, it is mainly due to the fact that Jiannu is light on the enemy." ”

When Lu Yuan said that, he didn't plan to hide his secrets in this, after all, his Chunfeng Machinery Company had already started to develop Minnie flintlock pistols, and he happened to sell the eliminated flintlock pistols to Lu Xiangsheng's Xuan Dabing at that time.

After all, Lu Xiangsheng's Xuan soldiers can be regarded as one of the few troops that dare to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu, and he is still willing to improve Xuan Dabing's firearms and equipment, and making Xuan Dabing's money is naturally secondary.

Moreover, Lu Yuan still hopes to let the Han people of this era know more about more advanced technology.

When Lu Yuan spoke, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Pu and others all came over, their faces full of curiosity.

"Lu Dusi, is this firearm you said really so amazing?"

Historically, in the Battle of Songjin, Yang Guozhu, who would rather die than surrender due to defeat and capture, couldn't wait to ask Liu Yuliang and Lu Xiangsheng before questioning.

Lu Yuan knew that although Yang Guozhu might not be a famous general, his integrity was still in the future, and he helped the Manchu Qing Dynasty to pacify the world, so he also patiently replied: "How dare the last general deceive Yang Zongbing, you can try." ”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan handed the firearm to Yang Guozhu.

Thereupon.

Yang Guozhu began the shooting operation under Lu Yuan's instructions.

Syllable!

A target hole in front of him pierced a big hole, and Yang Guozhu was quite surprised: "This must be hundreds of steps!" It's farther than a bird's gun! ”

Hu Dawei and Wang Pu also opened their mouths in shock.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't wait to ask Lu Yuan: "Jingfang, who developed this firearm of yours, how much is it mass-produced, how much does it cost, but if there are drawings, this official will immediately submit it to the emperor and order the Ministry of Industry to copy it!" ”

Liu Yu glanced at Lu Xiangsheng: "Why is Governor Lu so excited, is there still a small number of good firearms in the Ministry of Industry, even if this firearm is presented to the imperial court, I am afraid that I will not be able to make a few good ones!" ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard Liu Yuliang say this, he reacted that it was impossible for the officials of the imperial court to expect the Ministry of Industry to make good firearms, and the imperial court did not have the financial resources to build weapons, so many officials and soldiers hired craftsmen to make firearms, or the local governments made firearms and then supplied them to the officers and soldiers in various towns.

For example, during the Jiajing period, the Qi family army made its own weapons, such as wolf stalks, chariots, divine fire flying crows, and tiger squat cannons.

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly laughed: "It's the lower official who lost his mind, and the superintendent blamed him." ”

As he spoke, Lu Xiangsheng changed his tone and asked Lu Yuan: "Jing Fang, I don't know how many of these firearms you can produce now, can you supply me with some Xuan soldiers?" ”

"Back to the governor, this firearm was originally made by a group of remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty called the flower family, they traveled back and forth between America (America) and the East, and often fought with pirates, so the firearms often need to be updated, and the last general also knew each other because of the trade cotton cloth with them, so they bought these firearms from their hands, but they only bought firearms and did not buy skills, so the last general could not provide drawings and mass production numbers, only knew that this kind of firearm called flintlock pistol cost ten taels of silver per rod, and the governor and the lords needed it, they could buy it from the last general, in order to prevent them from selling the firearms to JiannuTherefore, the last general has signed a contract with them, and their firearms are only sold to the last general. ”

Lu Yuan naturally didn't dare to directly admit that this firearm was made and produced by himself, after all, if it was spread out, what if Emperor Chongzhen wanted to directly return his firearm manufacturing workshop to the imperial court.

Originally, Lu Yuan wanted to make up for his investment in military research and development through the profits obtained from the sale of arms, and also to control the flow of advanced firearms, such as not selling them to Jiannu.

Therefore, he must control the right to manufacture and sell firearms in his own hands, and naturally he cannot let his firearms manufacturing technology belong to the imperial court.

What's more, in troubled times, you can't survive without preserving some real strength, and sometimes you have to hide one hand and deceive the other.

Therefore, Lu Yuan did not tell Lu Xiangsheng that the firearm was made by himself, but made up a lie.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn't want to make it up to be made by Xiyi, he didn't want to cause the Ming Dynasty people to only think that Xiyi's technology was the best, and only knew to buy it from the West or improve it on the basis, and ignore the basic research and development, and make up a flower planter Don't worry about these problems, at least let the Ming Dynasty people know to look for this flower planter, and the mention of America just made Lu Xiangsheng and other ancients deepen their interest in this place.

Although the Ming Dynasty already had a world map in the Wanli period, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty had not yet shown enough interest in the new continent of America, and Lu Yuan felt that he needed to guide it, even if he could not let the rulers think about developing this new continent from the beginning, but at least let the rulers of the Ming Dynasty start to have a global pattern.

"The remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty? In this way, it seems that they are also of the same kind as us, and it is rare that they can still make such sophisticated firearms. ”

However, Lu Xiangsheng did not become interested in America because of this, but still only focused on the flintlock pistol, and then said: "Jing Fang, how much is this flintlock pistol worth in silver?" ”

"Back to the governor, ten taels of silver per rod."

Lu Yuan returned a price, in order to control the number of flintlock pistols flowing into other armies, he naturally wanted to set the price high.

"It's so expensive, the bird gun is only worth five taels of silver, and this flintlock pistol is equivalent to two bird guns!"

Yang Guozhu exclaimed.

Hu Dawei also smacked his tongue: "All my family members want to change this gun, and the first time I change the gun, I will have to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, who can afford this!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng also fell silent and did not speak again.

And Liu Yuliang sighed: "War, war, is about silver and life, either you are willing to spend money, or you are willing to spend your life." ”

"Master Overseer!"

Lu Yuan replied.

Liu Yuliang smiled slightly.

Then.

Lu Xiangsheng saw the light cannon of the mighty army again, and was attracted again for a while: "Jingfang, what is the range of this artillery?" ”

"This cannon doesn't seem to be very heavy, I guess it won't shoot far, Lu Dusi?"

Wang Pu came over at this time and asked.

"Back to the governor, this cannon can shoot accurately at a distance of two hundred and sixty paces, and it can break the leather shield!"

Lu Yuan replied.

"Two hundred and sixty steps?"

Hu Dawei asked with some disbelieving.

The other generals also shook their heads, expressing disbelief.

Lu Xiangsheng was also very skeptical, and hurriedly asked Lu Yuan to try the artillery of the mighty army.

Thereupon.

Lu Yuan let the artillery of the mighty army test fire.

Suddenly.

The target two hundred paces away was smashed to pieces, and several nearby targets were also smashed into pieces.

"This cannon is really powerful, it's like an artifact!"

Yang Guozhu smacked his tongue.

Lu Xiangsheng raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Yuan, and asked excitedly: "Jing Fang, this cannon was also made by their family?" ”

Lu Yuan nodded.

"How much is it worth?" Lu Xiangsheng asked again.

"Five hundred taels and one door", Lu Yuan said a price, as far as he knows, during the Apocalypse, Xu Guangqi entrusted someone to buy a Western red-clothed cannon worth about 1,000 taels of silver, and he is now shouting 500 taels of silver, which is not high, after all, his Chunfeng 253 light cannon is a six-pound cannon, which is very suitable for infantry field combat.

But everyone still shook their heads and smiled bitterly, five hundred taels was still too expensive for them.

Lu Xiangsheng finally gave up the idea of building the same army as Lu Yuan's mighty army to equip the entire Xuan army, he had to think that Lu Yuan's way of equipping the army was only suitable for equipping a small number of troops, and if he equipped tens of thousands of troops, not to mention that he couldn't afford it even if the imperial court did.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng only allowed the military attaches who were Xuan Da Bing to selectively buy some firearms for their own family use through Lu Yuan, but did not have the idea of purchasing them for these Xuan Da soldiers.

Lu Yuan didn't cut the price because of this, after all, he still had to use more firearms to equip his troops, and he also knew that if the price was reduced too hard and sold too much, it would be easy to be suspected.

Now his strength is not very strong, so he can only sell a small amount first.

In the end, Yang Guozhu still ordered 300 flintlock pistols and a batch of ammunition from Lu Yuan to equip his family.

And Hu Dawei ordered two Chunfeng 253 light long guns from Lu Yuan.

As for Wang Pu, he simply only ordered a batch of steel knives from Lu Yuan, because he found that the steel knives of the mighty army seemed to be forged from better steel, and they were actually harder.

Lu Yuan didn't expect that he would be able to do an arms business in the process of going on the expedition.

But.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had lost interest in the equipment of the mighty army, because he found that he couldn't afford it, so he focused his attention on the military formation and drills of the mighty army.

"The military judge is also similar to the overseer, but you, the military judge, not only supervise the war in wartime, but also maintain military discipline in peacetime, very good, you all study it and see if you need to learn from the mighty army, so that the overseer team will always exist, supervise the war in wartime, and maintain discipline during training and marching."

Lu Xiangsheng felt that these Xuan soldiers under his command were not good at learning others, and this should be able to be learned, so he said a word to Yang Guozhu and other military attachés.

"Yes!"

Yang Guozhu waited for a reply, but they all showed bitterness, they were all landlord armed forces who followed Lu Xiangsheng to fight the world when Lu Xiangsheng was the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, and almost all the officers and soldiers under his command were clans and township parties, unlike the mighty army, which was composed of displaced people from all over the world, they were all related to the family, and they could share the same hatred when they fought in the war, but don't expect to be disciplined, after all, who wants to punish their relatives and friends for some disciplinary problems.

As for the propaganda team and medical soldiers, Lu Xiangsheng himself chose to give up adopting them, although he himself felt that it was also necessary.

The military attachés under his command were the same, choosing to give up.

After all, Xuan Dabing did not have his own industry, and it cost a lot of money to raise hundreds of fellow villagers, so how could he have the money to support so many non-combatants.

Therefore, the military attachés under Lu Xiangsheng finally felt that it was most effective to directly buy some equipment of the mighty army, and even this could not be purchased in large quantities.

The military attaches under Lu Xiangsheng had to admit that Lu Yuan's mighty army could not be replicated, and only a fool like Lu Yuan, who was rich and wealthy and willing to use his family property to raise an army to fight for the imperial court, would do so. 166 Reading Network
