Chapter 386: Manufacturing Traceability People's hearts

After descending the mountain, Jiang Feng arranged for three of his guards to hold flintlock pistols and three to hold arquebuses, and after the ammunition was sufficient, they were tested at the shooting range arranged by the secret weapon workshop.

These young people around Jiang Feng are all elite warriors, not only skilled in the fighting of cold weapons, but also extremely skilled in the use of firearms. However, these people have some very strange opinions, such as after seeing the completely handmade flintlock pistol, they all told Jiang Feng that the power of the arquebus should be much greater than that of the flintlock pistol.

As for the reason why it looks like this, it is quite funny to say, because if the barrel of the arquebus is thicker and the charge is larger, the power is naturally greater.

Jiang Feng, who came to the Ming Dynasty for ten years, although he was born as a chef in his previous life, but in the past ten years, he has been dealing with craftsmen, military camps, and people in the business field.

For example, this flintlock pistol, two craftsmen who made firearms studied it with him for a long time, and at first Jiang Feng just remembered that this kind of firearm was to hook the trigger, and the hammer behind it was launched, and then the musket was fired. Nothing else is known about the principles, but it is impossible to make a flintlock pistol based on these basic concepts alone.

After constantly reminiscing and pondering with the craftsmen, I learned that the hammer should be struck on the flint, triggering a spark, igniting the gunpowder in the chamber of the gun, and then shooting out the lead pellet.

Because it is not an open flame igniting gunpowder, it must be higher than the chamber of the arquebus, and it must be smaller than the chamber of the arquebus, so as to ensure the airtightness of the gun.

However, because of the above requirements, the requirements for the manufacture of the rifle chamber and the material of the flintlock are much higher than those of the arquebus, for Huazhou, it is not that it cannot be manufactured, but if it is done, large-scale industrialization, the word industrialization is used a little early, it should be said that large-scale workshop production can not be done, at least smelting such a high quality steel.

I had to build it by hand, and slowly see if there was a solution, but in the end, I found that the local craftsmen who made firearms could only have an idea, and they really wanted to do it but had no ability to complete it.

At that time, there were only watchmakers in Europe for craftsmen who made exquisite metal components, and it was locksmiths who did this work in Daming, but fortunately, Huazhou was rich, and the supreme leader Jiang Feng issued an order, and after accounting for the officials at all levels, they found that although it was expensive, it was still within the acceptable range.

Immediately, all walks of life took action, and Monk Li was the head snake in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and immediately went ashore with a lot of money, or hired or kidnapped, and got an excellent craftsman.

There were also blacksmiths who had been hired to forge swords in Japan through the merchants of the Wa Kingdom, and these people were considered masters, but even so, if it were not for the new blacksmiths who arrived from the Netherlands in the first half of last year, they would not have been able to provide the steel to be made, and it took so much manpower to make fifteen long and short flintlock pistols.

The flintlock pistol for this era cannot be said to be ahead of its time, in fact, Jiang Feng has just crossed over, and the short guns that the guards who saw in Qianzhuang are actually another kind of flintlock pistol, but the flintlock pistol with the flintlock pistol is too poor, and the things used by Jiang Feng are too expensive, in other words, they do not have the ability to mass production, which can only be said to be a strange skill.

However, the Huazhou manufacturing workshop did not spend money to create some playthings for Jiang Feng, they gained a lot of experience by making these fifteen finished products and countless waste products, as well as actual combat experience in gun manufacturing, this kind of thing is the most valuable.

Countless successes and failures are the real treasures, and sooner or later they will form large-scale production and manufacturing.

Of course, the discovery of Chen Chong's granular gunpowder also provided a good help, or difficulty, for this kind of weapon, because such a more powerful gunpowder has higher requirements for the chamber.

The results of the test firing completely blocked the discussion of the guards, and the time for the arquebus to shoot one bullet was two rounds for the flintlock pistol, and the penetrating and destructive power was not inferior in any way.

The inspection of the thirty-third guard was the last stop of Jiang Feng's inspection of the civil guard, and he saw the things that surprised him, and the people who surprised him.

Many of the officials and meticulous works of the Huazhou Taishou Mansion were selected by the people in the civil guard, and they were extremely familiar with the local people's movements, and the information collected from all sides said that the people's hearts were much more stable than before, and they all felt that the governor of Huazhou was a person worthy of trust.

Taishou Liu Shunhua didn't expect such a good effect, originally he just thought that Jiang Feng's inspection could show his military might, his son-in-law didn't say anything else, the word Wu Yong almost said that it was the head of the Ming warriors, I'm afraid no one has any doubts, although those deeds have not spread for various reasons, but the results of those victories, almost every one can be described as incredible.

Now the residents of 120 Wei in the 10 towns of Huazhou have all migrated from the mainland, and a few years have passed, life has settled down, and many people have the idea of returning to their hometowns. Of course, this thought was held in the stomach and did not dare to say it, everyone knew what happened to those who returned to their hometowns back then.

However, with this idea, people's hearts began to float, and people's hearts always give people an opportunity to take advantage of, in this place in North Korea, it is not under the jurisdiction of the law of the Ming Dynasty, and many people do not feel some authority for the decrees of Jiangfeng's Governor's Mansion and Taishoufu, and the White Lotus Sect made waves some time ago, which is the product of this situation.

Fortunately, the Governor's Mansion will never be soft on this kind of thing, and after a burst of ruthless killing, it immediately shocked people's hearts. Although it was something on the surface that stopped, the undercurrent did not stop, and there were quite a lot of strange rumors among the civil guards, and according to the news from the careful investigation, many readers began to talk about the way of loyalty.

Say what is this place after all the land of the Ming Dynasty, if Jiang Feng and Liu Shunhua are not recruited by the imperial court as soon as possible, they will be chaotic ministers and thieves, and they will be scolded by thousands of people for life and life, and if the people of Minwei continue to follow, they will be chaotic people, even if they die, they will not be able to live beyond their lives, Liu Shunhua himself is a scholar, and he is also a person who reads and reads very well, but he also understands this kind of unprincipled pedantic thinking.

When these scholars were about to starve to death, about to be affected by the rebels, and cried and came to Korea by boat, they never paid attention to any loyalty, and Jiang Feng did not pay attention to any loyalty when he distributed oxen and horses, and when he distributed fields and farm tools, he did not pay attention to any loyalty, but now that his stomach is full, he began to talk about these things.

The method of dealing with the White Lotus Sect is a little inappropriate to deal with these scholars, and those who believe in the White Lotus Sect are all grassroots among the residents of Minwei, and they are just foolish village women. Scholars generally have their own errands in the Minwei, in the town, and in the various yamen of the Taishou.

Even for those who don't have errands, the reverence of the Chinese people for scholars has been deep-rooted since ancient times, and if they take any rash action, the people's instability will definitely be unavoidable. Scholars also know these things, so they are becoming more and more unscrupulous.

Liu Shunhua understood their thoughts, but he understood more in his heart that these scholars did not want to talk about loyalty, but to seek officials from Huazhou through this, and it is also a deep-rooted thing for scholars to be officials, but most of the real important positions in Huazhou are held by military attaches and retired soldiers.

In addition, those previous civil servants were also held by a group of people from the background of the bookkeeper, and the cultural people among these residents were naturally extremely dissatisfied, and they also knew that in order to maintain the hearts of the people, Huazhou would not dare to move against them, and the scholars were desperately agitating public opinion to strive for the greatest benefits for themselves.

Liu Shunhua was surprised and encouraged his son-in-law Jiang Feng to inspect, the original purpose was to scare those sour people who were talking nonsense, but he didn't expect that after the inspection, public opinion suddenly turned around and supported one after another, which was too strange.

Of course, Liu Shunhua didn't know that Sima Liu Twelve, the governor of Huazhou, played a great role in this, and when Jiang Feng passed by various civil guards, some fortune tellers or people who knew feng shui, after seeing Jiang Feng, all wantonly claimed that Jiang Feng had the spirit of a dragon and a tiger.

For people like Jiang Feng, the spirit of the dragon and tiger is the meaning of being the emperor and the king, which is equivalent to picking up a layer of window paper, and lifting out the things that everyone wants to say but dare not say in their hearts, and there is such a rumor that has also spread out, saying that it is still in its infancy, and when it comes to the real achievement of the career, the residents in Huazhou must have all kinds of priorities and benefits.

People are such strange things, they will create public opinion for an illusory thing, and it is also for a very distant promise, and it is also a rumor-like promise, and it is suddenly quiet.

At this time, the various estates outside the gate were already in full swing, and the yeoman farmers were often busy at home, but the guards who occupied a large amount of land could only use slaves to work, because of last year's war and the reasons in the pass, the slaves were not replenished.

As a result, the labor of these slaves became more onerous, the number of deaths increased greatly, and the oppression became more cruel.
