Chapter 14 Rifle Success A new strategy

When he got outside, Li Yunhe deliberately raised the soil for each gun, and these people brushed the soil away and shot directly. After the fight, I asked for a **, replaced with a **, Li Yunhe brought a few buckets of water, poured water on the gun, and put it on the soil, the gunners brushed off the soil and shook the gun, and then shot, until the end of the fight was a **, there was no problem.

Zhang Zhimu saw that although the technicians who tested the gun did not cheer, they could see that their eyes were a little moist. Li Yunhe went over to hug them.

This is the wordless joy of success.

After they stabilized for a while, Zhang Zhimu went over and shook hands with them one by one, and said, "I thank you, I don't need to say it, you have developed a weapon for our kiln gang that is enough to ensure that we live and work in peace and contentment." When I go back, I will tell Mr. Lu that you who participated in the development of rifles will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver each. ”

Zhang Zhimu's words were cheered by everyone.

Li Yunhe said: "Tonight, let's drink and celebrate." All to my house. ”

Everyone cheered again.

Zhang Zhimu said to everyone: "You must build a rifle body production line as soon as possible. We want to mass-produce this rifle. The bullet production line for this rifle is even more necessary to establish a fully automated. If the previous method of producing musket cartridges is still followed, it will not be possible to supply the consumption of bullets for such rifles. ”

Li Yunhe said: "We have studied this matter, and the production line has been preparing for a long time. When we go back, we will officially engage in the production line and strive to form a production capacity as soon as possible. ”

At this time, a technician who was still very excited after trying the gun said: "We knew that something had happened to you a while ago, and we all wanted to make 100 such guns, each with 200 rounds of ammunition, and go to Beijing to snatch you out." A hundred men with a hundred of these guns, and no one could stop us. ”

Zhang Zhimu asked, "Yo?" How do you know something happened to me? ”

Li Yunhe said: "We kiln gang people are not all fools. If you go to Beijing and Lord Qincha comes, something must be wrong. ”

Zhang Zhimu listened to the technician's words, and his heart warmed. Seeing that there were still some bullets, Zhang Zhimu said: "Yunhe, dare to send someone to invite Uncle Chen and Mr. Ouyang, so that they can also be happy." ”

Soon Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He came over.

As soon as he got out of the car, Chen Yufeng asked, "How is it, is the rifle ready?" ”

Zhang Zhimu smiled and didn't speak, picked up a rifle, got on a **, aimed at a chest target a hundred meters away, and fired thirty rounds in a row. The basic target of a single shot, the point shot and the continuous shot are not far from the target.

Chen Yufeng didn't speak thoughtfully, and Ouyang He applauded and said, "Great, who in the world can compete with the Yaogang people?" ”

Chen Yufeng said: "No wonder, I haven't seen Zhimu in a hurry. It turned out that he still had such a treasure in his heart. Li Yunhe, if you don't do anything else, just get me 10,000 of these guns. With these guns, we kiln gang people will sweep the world. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Since Uncle Chen and Mr. Ouyang are here, let's try our robbery." ”

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He each took a gun, and after Li Yunhe and the others carefully taught them how to use the gun, the two quickly began to shoot, although the accuracy was not good, but they were already addicted. After one ** fight, Chen Yufeng asked for another ** from Li Yunhe. Ouyang He saw that Chen Yufeng asked for another **, and also asked for another **. The two of them are now addicted to guns.

Chen Yufeng said: "The bullets of this kind of gun are so much smaller than the bullets of the musket, but I don't know what the effect of hurting people will be?" ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Don't look at this kind of bullet as small, but after entering the human body, it will flip inside, and what goes in is a small eye, and what goes out is a big hole." Lethality is enough. The gunner is well trained, and it should be no problem to hit people in 200 meters. ”

After the shot, Ouyang He said: "I can use this kind of gun, and if I fight, women and children can use it." At that time, the number of people coming in from our kiln will not be enough to fight.

Zhang Zhimu said: "This kind of gun will be mass-produced as soon as possible, and we will also study the matter of heavy machine guns and pistols."

When those technicians heard that they were going to research new weapons again, they forgot about the crime they suffered when developing this rifle, so they quickly gathered around and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what kind of heavy machine guns and pistols are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Don't worry, I will tell you slowly." To put it simply, a heavy machine gun is a weapon that can fire a high-power warhead and can shoot continuously at high speeds, and a pistol is a weapon that can shoot with one hand. I'll come back to you after I've finished the rough drawings, and you're going to have to get the rifle production line up now. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "Yes, just get this gun right, don't be too ambitious." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Yunhe, you make twenty rifles first, let Li Jing and them experiment first, maybe they will find any problems, no problem they can also practice first, and then become instructors for others." ”

When he went back, Zhang Zhimu was in the same car with Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He. In the car, Chen Yufeng said: "As soon as this gun comes out, we can worry free." ”

Ouyang He said: "This is what Li Yunhe needs to supply enough bullets, such a gun is too bullet-intensive." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "After these automatic weapons are equipped with the army, logistical support is very important. Ordinary soldiers can bring 200 rounds of ammunition per battle, and the rest of the ammunition needs to be supported by logistics troops. Therefore, after equipping the new rifles, the logistics unit should be established at the same time. When we're defending, it's not a big problem, but when it's offensive and athletic warfare, logistics are very important. ”

Ouyang He said: "Even if ten soldiers support one soldier, this one soldier is much stronger than eleven soldiers with a big sword and spear together." With a soldier with such a rifle, it is definitely not empty talk to be ten, and it is possible to organize a block of hundred. ”

As soon as Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He returned to the kiln, Yan Xing greeted him and said, "Congratulations, Zhimu." Gave birth to a big fat boy. "It turned out that Yan Xing and Li Kui were here.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Thank you! It's really said that Cao Cao will arrive when Cao Cao arrives. We're talking about you this morning. I didn't expect it to arrive today. ”

After everyone returned to the command center and sat down, Yan Xing said: "I brought the brothers from Yulin to participate in the training first, and the affairs of Yulin will be stable." The brothers in Yulin all wanted to come to Yaogang, and I finally explained to them the meaning of Zhimu, so that the brothers reluctantly agreed to stay there for the time being. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "If you don't come, we will invite you to come." ”

Zhang Zhimu told some people about the current situation, the countermeasures he decided, and what happened in Beijing recently.

Yan Xing said: "It's really hanging. In the future, Chiki could no longer take such an adventure. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "I didn't lose anything this time. In exchange for two million taels of silver, the emperor gave us the right to issue money for guarding the northern border pass and the Ming Dynasty, which was a suitable deal. In addition, it also gave us a greeting to the emperor in the future to seize Shanxi, and in the future, we will recapture Shanxi from Li Zicheng, and the emperor is also psychologically prepared. ”

Chen Yufeng said to Yan Xing: "Don't say anything else. Let's talk about how we face Li Zicheng's matter, it is estimated that the time left for us will not be too long. Regarding the matter of defense, we are not too worried, the key is that after we consume Li Zicheng's strength, we must have absolute counterattack power. We discussed and decided to organize 10,000 elite cavalry. When the time was ripe, he suddenly attacked and directly inserted a knife in Li Zicheng's vital point. However, we now have only more than 3,000 cavalry, and we have only recently recruited more than 1,000. Our idea is to concentrate the cavalry of Niutou Mountain, Taiyue Mountain, and Lishan Mountain, and now we must concentrate them for training and equip them with the best weapons. They must be equipped with rifles and mortars, so that they can have the ability to fight independently. These cavalrymen should be young and capable, preferably with actual combat experience. It really can't be done, so I have to recruit among the victims. ”

Yan Xing said: "Uncle Chen's elite cavalry is used intensively, I think it's a good way. According to the requirements of Uncle Chen, we can organize 500 elite cavalry in Niutou Mountain, and these people are all trained by Uncle Kui himself. Don't look at Uncle Kui as a little rough, but he still has a lot of experience with cavalry, and he also has his own set of training. When we got back, we immediately picked out the people and asked them to come to the kiln earlier and train together. If you need to, let Uncle Kui come along. Yan Xing was very refreshing.

Chen Yufeng said: "It would be best if Li Kui came over, he could help Liu Chenghuang train together." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "The defense of Niutou Mountain, Taiyue Mountain, and Lishan must be strengthened, and these three places are all natural dangers, and it is difficult to capture them without a large army. If a large force is sent to attack, it is not necessary for Li Zicheng, because the use here is not very great for them. We're here as a support point, and it's very useful. When we have time, we will go to these places together, and if necessary, arrange the ** and mortars in place. Those that need to be reinforced with cement reinforcement should also be done before the weather is cold. ”

Li Kui said: "Zhimu, I just said that the cavalry is not enough, so it is better to withdraw all the cavalry from Yulin, they are born cavalry who grow on horseback all year round." ”

Zhang Zhimu thought for a moment and said, "Don't move the cavalry on the Yulin side first. I've always had an immature idea. Everyone used to agree that after we took Shanxi, we would seize Henan. But this time I had a different idea. I don't think we'd better take Henan first. Li Zicheng's attack on us must be after we occupy Shaanxi, and after we occupy Shanxi, I think we should occupy Shaanxi first. ”

Yan Xing said: "Compared with Henan, Shaanxi is too poor. The food there needs to be transported, and Mr. Zhang still has to think about it. ”

Zhang Zhimu said this, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He were speechless.

Zhang Zhimu continued: "Shanxi and Shaanxi are separated by the Yellow River and are thousands of miles apart. Especially in winter, they can cross the Yellow River at any place to deal with us at any time, and if we send troops to defend along the river, it is almost impossible to defend against it, and we will face threats at all times. It's better for us to take down Shaanxi directly. As for the poverty of this place, it just so happened that after we took it, the imperial court was not willing to take this burden, because if they defended this place, they would not be able to pay the food, so we should guard it. In fact, Shaanxi's food shortage is not unsolvable. We can build water conservancy along the banks of the Yellow River and Weishui, renovate farmland, encourage farming, and then use our technology to lift water for irrigation, and so on. ”

"On the other hand, if we take Henan directly, we will face Li Zicheng in the west and the imperial court in the east. It is better for us to go south after taking Shaanxi, squeeze Li Zicheng and force them to the south, Li Zicheng will inevitably be defeated by us, so we have to develop southward. We adopted the tactics of driving away tigers and wolves, and wherever we went, we took territory from Li Zicheng's hands, and did not directly face the officials and troops of the imperial court. Wherever Li Zicheng occupied, the old and young of the previous dynasty would be cleared out, and after we occupied it, it was clean. Let Li Zicheng do the dirty work for us. In this case, the imperial court will also thank us for retaking back the place occupied by Li Zicheng. ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that even if the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Li Zicheng, after the Qing army entered the customs, the Southern Ming Dynasty still persisted for a long time, which shows that it is not easy to clear the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. It's better to rush Li Zicheng to do these things for himself that are clear about the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, there is another reason, which cannot be said now, that is, Zhang Zhimu is still worried about Shaanxi Petroleum, through Shaanxi to Yumen, which is the location of China's first oil field.

Li Kui couldn't help but say: "This business is not suitable, good things have been scraped by Li Zicheng, what else is left?" ”

Everyone laughed.

Chen Yufeng said: "Li Zicheng has packed everything for us, and we will just take it all away." ”

There was another burst of laughter.

After laughing, Ouyang He said: "Mr. Zhang really stands tall and looks far away." I've thought about this before, but I haven't seen it as thoroughly as Mr. Zhang. I think according to Mr. Zhang's opinion, everyone is thinking about it, anyway, there will be a period of time at that time. When I look at those brothers in Yulin, don't move yet. It is not easy to overthrow an old dynasty and clear their roots. These things should be left to Li Zicheng and them to do. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "Zhimu wants to build a steel-hulled ship as soon as possible, and we only need to guard the transportation line of the Yellow River, this method will be feasible." In the past, I wanted to occupy Henan, and there was a big reason for thinking about this transportation line. As long as we control Kaifeng and Xuzhou, we can ensure our transportation lines. ”

Yan Xing said: "This time, more than 30 brothers came from Yulin, and these are all iron-clad men. Now they have all gone to take a bath, and Sister-in-law Xu has already divided clothes and supplies for them. Many of these people are taking a hot bath for the first time, and I am afraid that it is the first time to wear such good clothes. In the evening, Zhimu went over to give them a speech and cheered them up. In addition, when they stay in the kiln for a few days, they will go back and bring their families over. It's best to get them a few better cars here. ”

Li Kui said: "They didn't know much about us at once, so they came to see it first." If it does, they will go back to pick up their families. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "When we pick up people, we have to send them all the supplies and silver. Here, let Sister-in-law Xu arrange their accommodation. Let them come as if they were home. Be sure to keep them all satisfied. ”

Li Kui sighed and said, "When they arrived here, they had reached heaven in one step. Can there be anything dissatisfied? Mr. Zhang rest assured, these people are really very good, we are good to them, and they will repay with their lives. ”

In the cafeteria in the evening, Zhang Zhimu saw these Shaanxi men.

Today, the brothers from Yulin sat at four tables, and each table was accompanied by the brothers sent by Liu Yun. What these Yulin brothers didn't expect was that after taking a bath in Yaogang, they all changed into new clothes, new pants and new shoes, which were brand new inside and out. On the way, they heard Li Kui and Yan Xing say that the first thing they did when they arrived at the kiln gang would be that the kiln gang people would arrange for everyone to take a bath. Li Kui joked: "Before you take a bath in the kiln, don't go out on the street, otherwise the smell on your body will smoke the people in the kiln." At that time, these Shaanxi men thought it was a joke, but what they didn't expect was that the first thing they did when they arrived at Yaogang was to take a hot bath, and the brothers sent by Liu Yun accompanied them to wash. After taking a shower, they all changed into new clothes. The brothers who accompanied them said: "Let's eat a little in a while, but don't eat too much." In the evening, there is a banquet for everyone. ”

But these men from Shaanxi can't control it when they eat the big steamed buns in Yaogang and drink the mutton soup. The angry brothers who accompanied them said, "I can't eat at night, don't blame me for not saying it?" ”

The brothers said, "This is the most delicious food, and there is nothing in the evening that can compare with this." "As a result, I ate one by one.

The brothers had never been to a feast for them, and when they arrived at the dining hall and sat down at each of the four tables, they were dumbfounded. The table was full of good things, which made these brothers regret that they had eaten so much. But people repeatedly persuaded themselves to eat less, but they just didn't listen. But these things are still too attractive, if it weren't for the brothers saying that Mr. Zhang of the kiln gang would come over to toast everyone in a while, and everyone would have started a war in a while. I had no choice but to watch a table full of delicious saliva.

In order to entertain them, Liu Yun also specially informed the kitchen that the brothers who were entertained today were from a difficult place, and they wanted to be more affordable.

When they came out of Yulin, these Yulin brothers were still beating drums in their hearts, and now they are defecting to others, and they don't know what they will do to them, so I hope that they will be less angry. They didn't expect to be received like this, and they were a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the people sent by Liu Yun to accompany the guests were very good at talking, laughing and laughing with them, and taking good care of them. These people slowly feel at home. They were very curious about everything in Yaogang, especially when they heard the people who accompanied them, their eyes were full of light when they talked about Mr. Zhang, which made them all want to see this Mr. Zhang.

This group of Shaanxi men led the team by a junior brother of Li Kui, and he took the lead in standing up when he saw Yan Xing and Li Kui accompanying Zhang Zhimu into the canteen. Yan Xing introduced Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng and others to them, and after Zhang Zhimu shook hands with Li Kui's junior brother, he waved his hand and said, "Brothers, please take a seat!" ”

After everyone sat down, Zhang Zhimu said: "The brothers have come from afar to work hard, and I welcome everyone on behalf of the brothers in Yaogang. I heard Uncle Kui introduce your situation. You are all good, and I am proud to have your group of brothers. From now on, this is the home of the brothers. So when you get home, everyone is welcome. You will spend a few days visiting this place, and then you will be quiet and learn something new, and I can responsibly say to the brothers that you will definitely learn a lot of useful things here, and I hope that the brothers will cherish the hard-won learning opportunity and be able to return with a full load. I wish the brothers every success in their studies and a happy life. ”

After that, he took a glass of wine and said, "I propose that everyone drink this wine and welcome our brethren!" ”

Zhang Zhimu's proposal was responded to by everyone, and then Zhang Zhimu said: "Tonight, everyone wants to have a good drink, and I won't accompany you." ”

These Yulin brothers were moved by Zhang Zhimu, they didn't expect a person like Zhang Zhimu to toast them personally, and they were also shocked by Zhang Zhimu's temperament, this is a person who is convinced when he sees it, and he speaks to his heart. However, when Zhang Zhimu said that he would not accompany everyone today, many people were still secretly happy. Because people like Zhang Zhimu are here, they have an inexplicable pressure in their hearts, which will affect their drinking. So Zhang Zhimu said that he would not accompany them, and they were still relieved.

Bidding farewell to these Yulin brothers, Zhang Zhimu and they came to a room prepared for them again. Zhang Zhimu knew that he was going to get drunk again today. At this time, Zhang Zhimu saw Li Zhi coming. Zhang Zhimu knew that Li Zhi would not come here to find him if he was not in a hurry, so Zhang Zhimu went out.

Li Zhi said: "Tongguan Ningde guarded a letter from the guard, saying that we should take their families to the kiln as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Zhimu shook his head and said, "You see I forgot about this." I don't think Li Jing and they need to go out for this matter. That Meng Si'er and their people, I think it's good, let them go out to exercise. ”

Li Zhi said: "That's what I mean, we try to do this kind of thing ourselves." I'll arrange for Meng Si'er to come over tomorrow. But we have to prepare the house for the family. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Don't worry, now we don't have a shortage of houses, I will ask Sister-in-law Xu to arrange them tomorrow." They tried to put their people together as much as they could. ”

Li Zhi left in a hurry. Since Li Zhi took over his family, Li Zhi has been even more relieved and has put his mind on his work. Looking at Li Zhi's back, Zhang Zhimu felt very relieved.

Zhang Zhimu, who returned to the house, said: "Let's wait for Mr. Lu for a while, and we have something to talk about." Niutoushan also sent a group of people to participate in the training. I think Niutoushan should be equipped with ten mortars, and you should send young people with good eyes, preferably cultured people. In addition, after the telegraph from Niutoushan is about to be communicated, a telegraph operator is also needed, which must be trained in advance. Your Niutou Mountain is too far away from here, and you need to set up a relay station in the middle, and you need to be manned, and your personnel also need to be trained. ”

Yan Xing said: "What Mr. Zhang said is really the truth, how many people are needed, Mr. Zhang can give the number." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "The number of people needed for ten mortars will be given by Li Wei tomorrow, and it is best to let Li Wei pick people with you, anyway, the personnel need to be trained by them." The matter of the telegram will be discussed with Yang Chang and them tomorrow. ”

Yan Xing said: "In this way, it is better to give us the list of personnel earlier tomorrow." It would be best if Li Wei could go to us and pick someone. We want to go back early tomorrow, Uncle Kui and I haven't been back to Niutou Mountain for a long time, and everything on the mountain is supported by the third child alone. ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that Yan Xing and Li Kui had gone to Shaanxi and had not returned to Niutou Mountain, because it had been too long, so he nodded and said, "Yes, you two have to run outside, but stay with your wife and children for a few days before returning to the mountain." ”

Li Kui snorted and said, "Hmph! Our wives and children, we don't see each other during the day, and during the day, people go to work and go to school. People said that without our money, they can support their children, and now women can earn wages and their waists are hard. ”

When everyone heard Li Kui say this, they all laughed.

Yan Xing said: "Actually, it's okay, they are all in the kiln, so we don't have to worry about anything." How nice it is, all relaxed. ”

Everyone laughed again, but this time the laughter was all from the heart to the outside.
