Shen Cunli hugged his fist at Huang Han and said: "My lord, there is no technical problem with the large number of cast Franc machine steel cannons, and the weight of the cast steel mother gun should be at least three percent lighter than the current cast iron Franc machine of the same caliber." ”

There is no doubt that steel cannons have better heat dissipation performance and higher strength than cast iron cannons, and of course some wall thickness can be appropriately reduced.

In actual combat, the method of changing the gun is adopted, which will prevent the temperature of the barrel of the Furlong cannon from rising sharply.

If a well-trained artilleryman controls the Furlong cannon, he will definitely be able to fire one shot from the Hongyi cannon, and the Furlong cannon can fire five or six shots.

This advantage will be most manifested in naval battles, because during naval battles, warships are lined up in battle lines to fire at close range, and Hongyi cannons need to push out the guns of the warships and shoot out of the ship.

Of course, this is due to full consideration of safety, because if the muzzle of the gun is in the ship, the distance in front is enough to stand and a cannon to clear and load, and the flames generated when the cannon is fired will burn to the upper deck.

Therefore, the cannons equipped on the gun deck without exception are stretched out of the muzzle and must be pulled back along the track after firing a shell, and after the artillery responsible for clearing and loading completes a series of steps in front of the muzzle, the artillerymen will continue to push the cannon out and aim and fire again, which is time-consuming, laborious and inefficient.

Huang Han participated in the design of the new Furlong machine gun, which did not need to be so troublesome to push around, and when the muzzle of the gun was directly extended outside the ship, it could be fired one after another behind the mother gun.

Even if the airtightness is not as good as that of the Hongyi cannon, what can be done if the thermal efficiency is wasted? As long as you have rapid firepower, you can win the battle.

The sea was rough, the artillery was basically inaccurate, what was needed was a dense number of shells to make up for the lack of quality, and the same warship equipped with twenty Hongyi cannons and a warship equipped with twenty new furlong cannons were not enough firepower.

When the Hongyi cannon fired twenty iron balls, the Furlong cannon may have hit one hundred and twenty guns, and the enemy ship did not know how many gun positions would be hit, making the Hongyi cannon lose its combat effectiveness.

In the case that you can't point where to hit, the method of increasing the firing frequency is very practical, and the range is not enough to completely reach the close shot, and the future warships will also be equipped with several Hongyi cannons with a long range, so as to achieve all-round power from far and near.

Huang Han talked in detail about the superiority of the rear-loading artillery equipment warship, and listened to Shen Cunli and Zhao Shizhong's several master craftsmen scratching their ears and cheeks, they came by warship, and the most studied on the ship was the power of the gun deck equipped with artillery.

They also brainstormed to get the artillery to increase the speed of firing and firing, but there seemed to be no better way than to train hard and make the artillery form a tacit understanding as much as possible.

Now, by replacing a part of the Franc cannons, the warships of the "Red Banner Army" can get more than double the firepower, which of course makes the gunsmiths extremely excited.

No one is stupid, and most of these people were once taken captive and taken as slaves by Jiannu, and now they live happily one by one and cherish such a good time even more.

How can I keep myself from being bullied, and how can I make such a good day benefit more villagers? Only the force of the "Red Banner Army" is enough to defeat any enemy in order to last long.

It is the consensus of every craftsman to make excellent firearms for the "Red Banner Army" to use, and there are also their relatives, friends and even nephews in the army.

Shen Cunli, Zhao Shizhong, and other great craftsmen expressed their stance on the spot, immediately scrutinized the drawings, and arranged production after returning home, striving to complete the test and finalized products by the end of the year, and in March next year, no less than 100 six-pound Franc machines will be equipped with the army, and at least 100 12-pound Franc guns will be equipped with new warships.

Huang Han not only demanded the mass production of artillery, but also demanded more manpower to make self-generated guns and mini guns, and strive to achieve a monthly output of more than 1,000 guns in the first month of next year.

Shen Cunli knew that many recruits did not have firearms in their hands, and now three or four or five people practiced loading and firing with a bird's gun.

They said in unison that they would increase the output as much as possible under the premise of passing the quality test, and ensure that 1,000 self-generated guns could be shipped in the first month.

Huang Han is very busy, because he wants to brush his presence among new and old soldiers, enhance cohesion, and strengthen authority.

He had to take time out to teach the soldiers every day, and now that there were more people, it was no longer possible to accommodate one class, so he could only take turns to accept the personal teaching of his mentor, so that more soldiers could listen to Huang Han's lectures with their own ears.

Huang Han is a time-traveler, naturally has the perspective of God, and he will instill useful knowledge and insight into the soldiers.

Show them the future, enlighten them to open their eyes to the world, teach them to read, read and learn arithmetic, deeply penetrate the stories of national heroes into the hearts of the people, inspire them with the pride of being promoted to become rich and change their families, and distribute enough food and salary to support their families to every soldier.

The troops brought out by such a model will naturally be invincible, Huang Han is in a good mood now, he has a more reliable foothold, and he does not have to worry about the suspicion of the court for the time being.

What is needed now is time, and in another year and a half, the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the recruits will be greatly improved, and then this most advanced army in the world today will not be able to be defeated by mere Tunguska savages.

The firearms troops with such arms and fingers will fight very easily against the Jiannu and Tartars who are still fighting with knives and arrows, because the historical British and French coalition forces once fought at the cost of only a few people killed and wounded more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry and then fled.

The crux of the problem is the word "escape", if the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners fled without a fight against the British and French coalition forces, it is estimated that those foreign devils will not be in a way.

At that time, the soldiers of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners were the national army that could not avoid the war, because the British and French troops had already rushed to the capital.

But where do the Mongols now have any place to defend? It's really hard to fight if they dodge.

It's okay to fight Jiannu, and the Tunguska savages also follow the example of building the country and set up six departments, and the original Shenyang Acropolis was renamed Shengjing as the capital, and when the "Red Banner Army" attacked, it would cause a large number of casualties to the Houjin army, and they might not be able to annihilate them completely.

In the end, the Jiannu who fled all over the grassland will become an eternal hidden danger of the Han nation, and without a strong cavalry group, how easy is it to annihilate the rangers on the grassland?

During this time, Pavilion Elder Xu Guangqi was very different from the closed disciples, his mood was terrible, and he really couldn't stand the black smoke miasma in the court.

That's because the ministers are all criticizing and writing, and the war of words is in full swing, and the reason is Zhang Chun's Changshan defeat, who is responsible for this matter?

However, Xu Guangqi did not have enough reason to exonerate his old friend and old Donglin party member Sun Chengzong, and besides, this old friend insisted on going his own way and couldn't listen to the advice of Huang Han, a younger generation, and now he is to blame, but how can the imperial court suffer such a big loss?
