But Hong Chengchou is different, he is a feudal official, a genuine Jinshi, when Chongzhen was three years old, he entered the imperial history of the right capital, and the governor Yansui. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, he entered the military department of the right squire and the right of the imperial history, the governor of Shaanxi trilateral military affairs and the right capital of the five provinces of the imperial history and the military department of the book.

Chongzhen ten years, and the prince Taibao, Chongzhen twelve years as the governor of Jiliao, Chongzhen fourteen years, more Qin ordered the superintendent.

Such a man should be a slave and a thief!

You must know that when Songshan's deputy general Xia Chengde surrendered, he would rather die than give in with the captured Liaodong governor Qiu Minyang, the general soldier Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, and the deputy commander-in-chief Jiang Zhu and Rao Xun. Raising the court, he also thought that Hong Chengchou would definitely scold the slave and die, and he would definitely die.

Emperor Chongzhen was even more grieved, dropped out of the dynasty for three days to mourn, personally sacrificed to the princely specifications, and also made the imperial "mourning Hong Sutra" to show the world.

Unexpectedly, the sacrifice was held, and the news came: Hong Chengchou was cleared, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

This is not an ordinary person, he is a capable minister of the court, with a high and powerful position, and his reputation is very good, and he is even more relied on by the emperor.

Such a person descended to the Qing Dynasty, and the impact on the government and the opposition was unprecedentedly great.

For the first time, the shadow of the country's demise was loomed over many people's hearts.

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is really exhausted?

Hong Chengchou set a very bad precedent, that is, civilian officials also began to defect to the enemy.

It has been 274 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and before Hong Chengchou, as long as he was a civil official, regardless of the Qing official or corrupt official, the official position was high or low, there was never a concept of surrender in his mind, and Hong Chengchou broke this precept.

This is not only a psychological shock and trauma, but also a factual harm.

Without Niu Jinxing and other literati to join, Li Zicheng was just a simple rogue, which was insignificant.

The generals who surrendered to the Tartars were like carp crossing the river, but all of them were harmful, and they were not as good as a little finger of Hong Chengchou combined. Because of Wufu's limited vision, at most he spins around at the tactical level, and only Hong Chengchou can look at the problem from the perspective of essence and strategy.

Facts have also proved that the Manchu Qing Dynasty won China, and the literati who surrendered such as Hong Chengchou, Ning Wanme, and Fan Wencheng played a pivotal role.

Civil officials, especially important ministers among civil ministers, began to surrender, and for the first time, many people faced up to and considered the issue of losing the country, and began to make a life-and-death choice between defending the country or protecting the family.

It is also the reason why no civilian official surrendered in the previous Ming Dynasty in 273 years, but after Hong Chengchou, civilian officials also began to surrender continuously.

But for ordinary people who "have no way to sell the country", this news and omen make people's hearts ache, people in troubled times are as cheap as ants, ten rooms and nine emptiness, the vast majority of people are just one of the "nine emptiness", life and death are not up to them, only crying.

Wang Feng, who sent the report to the palace, wept bitterly, and finally went back drunk.

Looking at the back of his departure, Yang He also sighed in his heart, this is just the beginning, and the tragic things are ahead.

However, he has no other way to think of it now than to pay attention.

At this stage, he is still working hard to survive, and he can only continue to expand his strength and survive first.

Di Bao also published the death of Sun Yingyuan, the chief soldier of the Beijing Division, who attacked the enemy in Luoshan and finally died alone.

Yang He sighed again in his heart, the general soldier that Daming could fight, and another one was killed in battle.

Yang He sometimes always thinks that if Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and other scum die early, and all that remains is Yang Guozhu, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Meng Ruhu, Sun Yingyuan and others in Nanming, what will history be like.

It's just a pity that history has no ifs.

Those who are brave and good at fighting, loyal and loyal to the country, always die first, and the last remaining scum is still dross.

……

A few days later, Zhuang Northwest Firearms Workshop.

The manpower of the firearms workshop has increased considerably, and the sound of Ding Ding Dangdang is even more noisy and pleasant, and many blacksmiths in gray armor are busy working, striking the pipes of the fire guns on the cast-iron die, and the fire is splashing wildly.

These are all masters, all in one and all passes, after a period of running-in, according to the standard to make the pipe is no problem.

Of course, the finished products of their guns will be strictly inspected by Yu Lao blacksmith and others, and finally sent to polish the drill chamber and assemble it.

In terms of quality, Xin'anzhuang has very strict requirements, generous rewards, and very severe punishments, which cannot tolerate people who are not concentrating on their work.

Very sufficient materials, a very effective reward and punishment mechanism, and there is no room for people not to work hard.

Soon, the rough embryo of the barrel that has been inspected for quality is sent to the inner workshop, which is responsible for grinding the drill chamber and making various fine parts.

Special copper bolts, hammers, ratchets and other parts, which are the inner workshop of the firearms workshop, is a large shed, and there are guards standing guard at the door.

There are fewer people here, for the time being, only Zhang Chuxun, Li Tiannan brothers and sisters, Li Blacksmith father and son, Yu Blacksmith and others are here, but the lathe is still the same two, and the new lathe is still being made.

At this time, Zhang Chuxun looked carefully at a fire gun in his hand, three tubes, similar to three-eyed guns, but the back is like a bird-like structural device, which is particularly advantageous for holding and sticking to the cheeks, and the swan-like neck style of the gun holder is unique to Xin'anzhuang.

He looked at it carefully for a while, and the gun tube twisted in his hand, "Ka Ka Ka", and the gun tube turned from the bottom right to the top and right, and it had changed an eyelet.

Then look at the fire rope on the dragon head, the fire rope is connected, and it disappears into the arquebus compartment of the gun, so that there is no other arquebus, and the long fire rope is in the way, but it is the new winged tiger gun that Yang He and Zhang Chuxun discussed and designed.

Zhang Chuxun's second brother Zhang Chujing, he also used the Winged Tiger Gun, which has the convenience of a three-eyed gun and the quasi-benefit of a bird's gun.

However, at that time, Zhang Chuxun's Winged Tiger Gun for the second brother was still a little simpler, especially there were no ratchets and small tenons at the turning rod, and he would often turn his head, so that the dragon head fire rope was not aligned with the fire door hole, and even the barrel was reversed back, which was not good for good hands.

If you design this one-way gear and tenon similar to a three-eyed flintlock handcuff, you won't have this problem.

In fact, this new winged tiger gun is similar to the enlarged version of the three-eyed new gun gun, the structure is not much different, and the reload is also a breech loading, but because of the use of fire rope, the handling of the fire door on the fixed seat is simpler. However, the same fire gate medicine is replaced by a goose feather primer tube.

This is also used by infantry, which can be simpler.

But the winged tiger guns used by the cavalry are slightly more complicated.

This is an enlarged version of the Xin'an handcuff, which is also made of hammers, spring sheets made of Suzhou steel, fixed seats and funnel-type fire doors, and washboard-type fire sickles.

The rest is about the same size as the Winged Tiger Gun.

took a winged tiger gun for riding and looked at it carefully for a while, and Zhang Chuxun took the gun and walked to the laboratory next to him.

Here is a suitable fixed cartridge ammunition and goose feather primer tube, Zhang Chuxun is loaded, all breech loading, one by one gun tubes are loaded, and each tube of fire door is also stuffed with goose feather primer tubes, which are plugged into the hole on the right side of the seat.

Zhang Chuxun rotated the barrel, it felt smooth, and the goose feather primer tube stuffed in place would not hinder the rotation of the barrel, so he "Kakaka" pulled down the hammer until the maximum position to be fired, and then pulled the plate machine at the target position in front.

There was a loud bang, the smoke was filled, and Zhang Chuxun felt the recoil.

At the same time, the hammer of his Winged Tiger was automatically pressed down by a lever retraction device, and there was no need to manually pull the hammer again.

This is Yang He's design.

A flintlock pistol is not the same as an arquebus.

The structure of the arquebus, after the dragon head fire rope falls, under the action of the spring sheet, it can automatically return to the position to be fired, relying on the power of the open flame, which is also simple and convenient.

But the flintlock pistol is not good, it needs a stronger spring, not to mention, in order to maintain a strong force, it is also necessary to pull the hammer and then pull it, so as to increase the firing rate.

However, in the face of war, the fighter plane is fleeting, and the moment when the hammer may be pulled down, it has already decided the fate of life and death for both the enemy and us, especially when the sentry horse fights.

Therefore, when Yang He designed the winged tiger gun for riding, he referred to the principles of Colt pistol, lever rifle and so on, and designed a recoil retract device.

This device is just behind the three tubes, in front of the hammer, by a spring plate connected to a fork bar, the first shot of the Wing Tiger needs to pull down the hammer, but after the shot is quite recoiled, the fork rod will retreat, the hammer is pressed down, or pressed to the maximum position to be fired.

Then, under the action of the spring plate, the fork bar will automatically return to its original position and wait for the next time to continue.

That is to say, in addition to the first shot, the hammer needs to be pulled down, and the rest of the second and third shots are not necessary, which buys precious time.

Looking at this kind of device, replacing the manual with a machine, Zhang Chuxun couldn't help but admire Yang Xianggong's design.

At this time, the hammer had been pressed, and Zhang Chuxun fired a shot, and then rotated the barrel again, "Kakaka", the barrel rotated, and the hole was changed again.

He pulled the trigger, and there was another loud bang, and the billowing smoke was even more pungent.

Then the hammer was automatically pressed down again, and Zhang Chuxun rotated the barrel again and pulled the trigger again against the target.

"Boom!"

The shorter the pipe, the louder the sound, and the sound of the three-eyed winged tiger has always been louder than that of birds.

In the rising smoke of gunpowder, the target in front of him was once again smashed into debris.

Zhang Chuxun put away the gun with satisfaction, according to his estimate, with this retraction device, the rate of fire of the riding winged tiger gun and the infantry winged tiger gun is already about the same.

And because it is not the use of fire ropes, the convenience in all aspects has increased a lot.

……

The gunpowder shop is next to the firearms workshop, and Zhang Chujing is in charge of this side of the matter.

In the past, the gunpowder workshop mainly dealt with nitrate and gunpowder, but recently there has been an additional business, making rockets.

There is a shed next to it, all of which are original HOS renovations, several pole making machines are placed, there are handle rotary knives, birch wood is put in, shake the handle, and soon an arrow stalk is born.

There is no technical content in this matter, the elderly and women can control it, and they are responsible for the quality inspection afterwards.

Then bundles of birch arrows were loaded, and they were brought aside to assemble, first of all, arrowheads, and this was not easy.

The well-made arrows are four inches long, three-edged style, and they are all made of fine iron, which needs to be finely beaten, and this matter is the responsibility of the armory.

Then assemble the tail feathers, which has knowledge in it, in order to maintain the balance of the weight of the head and tail of the rocket, it will not be crooked when launched, and the tail end should be covered with an iron end.

This procedure is a bit technical.

The most difficult thing is the production of the nozzle to be tied to the rocket rod, especially the drilling hole in the inside, which must be tamped and drilled.

Otherwise, the rocket launch will definitely be oblique, and it will be like the inferior rockets made by a few foreigners.

The production of the spray canister is now in charge of Tao Longfei, who claims to have a family tradition of sharp rocket technology, the ancestor Tao Chengdao once tied forty-seven rockets to the snake car, the ancestor took this car to the sky and the moon, and was finally blown to pieces.

I don't know if this thing is true or not, but it is true that Tao Longfei is good at rockets, especially when he has a hand in the nozzle hole.

Even Zhang Chuxun can only drill holes, but he can use iron rods to make natural line eyes, which is a great skill that many masters can't master.

After Tao Longfei took charge of this matter, together with some masters recruited from the firecracker workshop, he was mainly responsible for the production of various rocket spray canisters.

However, their progress was slow, and it was not easy to make a nozzle tube, so they rolled it into a cylinder with paper, filled it with gunpowder, and then built it hard to reach the point where it was as solid as iron, and finally drilled a hole to two-thirds of the way, and the hole was large enough to hold three lines.

Each nozzle has to be drilled, but the manpower is only these, the drilling can not use cooling oil, the drill bit is slightly hot to pull out, otherwise it will cause burning accidents.

Therefore, the rocket workshop in Xin'anzhuang can only meet the needs of the cavalry sentry team, and it is impossible to shoot heroic rockets like a swarm.

At this time, Zhang Chujing was also in the laboratory, holding a rocket in his hand, more than two feet long, and the tip of the arrow was made of fine iron, which was cold and sharp.

After swiping it, the rocket in his hand was quite heavy, and it was originally a heavy arrow that could only be shot with a twelve-force bow, but now it is made for the cavalry sentry team to use immediately.

He then held a bow-like object in his left hand, but without a bowstring, and there was a slingshot-like bifurcation in the middle of the bow, which was used to set up a rocket to ignite.

Then the fork of the bow frame is actually a fire fold, so well made that the fire inside can be preserved for up to two days.

This is all for the cavalry sentry team to go out of the sentry, if there are people carrying rockets, they use a bow and arrow in a sac, the quiver has a cover, to prevent rain.

The bow frame is inserted upside down on the outside of the quiver, anyway, there is no bowstring, and the structure is still simple.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Chujing flicked out the copper cover with the string attached to the fork of the bow frame with his left hand, and blew it, and the fire in it was rekindled.

He still wears a thick glove on his left hand, but it is to prevent sparks from burning the back of his hand.

Then his rocket landed at the fork of the bow mount and aimed at the target in front of him, about eighty paces.

He took a closer look, the arrow slowly pulling back, the rocket canister fuse getting closer and closer to the burning fire.

Suddenly, the lead of the spray canister "snorted" and burned, and sparks splashed wildly, splashing on the gloves worn by Zhang Chujing's left hand from time to time.

Zhang Zhujing was unmoved, he was still aiming, and at the same time, the right finger holding the back end of the rocket became much smoother.

A fierce scream sounded, and Zhang Zhujing felt the arrow feather slide through his fingers, and then the rocket whistled, carrying the smoke that was carefully made by Shonai, and then the spewed smoke also became a straight trajectory.

In the straight trajectory of the fireworks, the arrows flew away, and the sound of shooting through the wooden target was fierce.

The power of the nozzle was equivalent to a heavy arrow shot by a twelve-force bow, and it shot through the target in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Chujing couldn't help but shout, in the entire Xin'an Village, only Yang Xianggong could use the twelve-force strong bow, and he used rockets, but he easily shot this power.

You don't need to make a strong bow, you don't need to train archers, you just need to have a lot of arrows.

It can also be fired while riding on a horse.

Because there is no need to draw the bow.
