After finishing speaking, Li Qingyuan asked everyone to continue to train with people, Meng Can didn't speak with a black face, Li Qingyuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, the muskets of the ten production groups in the past two days will be done at the same time, Li Qingyuan wants to take a look.

With the increase of the working group, Li Qingyuan's side will be able to achieve the goal of producing 300 guns per month by the end of this month, and the craftsmen are working hard, although sometimes there will be mistakes, but the improved efficiency is enough to make up for this shortcoming.

After the increase in muskets, the production of fixed gunpowder began to be put on Li Qingyuan's agenda, and after so many days of test firing, the fifty-man sharpshooter battalion also found the most reasonable charge.

The gunpowder workshop was in a secluded place, and in order to reduce losses, Li Qingyuan decided not to build the sub-packaging workshop with the gunpowder workshop, and all that was needed for the sub-packaging of gunpowder was a scale, a kraft paper and gunpowder.

Originally, the more professional fixed paper shell bullet was to wrap the gunpowder in the paper shell together with the lead bullet, and then roll the bottom into a paper thread, the soldier bit the paper thread, to a little gunpowder to the ignition pool, and then stuffed the remaining gunpowder into the gun tube together with the lead bullet paper shell.

However, Li Qingyuan's firecracker workshop is handmade, and each gun tube has errors, so if it is rolled uniformly, then it will not be able to be stuffed, or the bullet is too small to reach the effective range.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan only ordered gunpowder, as for the problem of lead bullets, Li Qingyuan used prefabricated part of the lead bullets and then distributed them to the troops, and the soldiers went to pick and try to see the caliber that was more in line with their guns in their spare time, and each person had to prepare two bullet bags, one was long-range lead bullet and the other was fast fire lead bullet.

Twenty rounds are prepared for long-range shooting, and sixty rounds are equipped for rapid reloading, so that the ammunition used in a battle is enough, as for the usual training bullets, you can find them slowly, and how can Li Qingyuan be willing to use this rifled gun in training.

Now the training is used in the bird, and when there are more workshops in the future, Zheng Jing plans to produce a batch of smoothbore guns for training, and when can he give the soldiers two guns, one for training and one for war, that is the best.

However, Li Qingyuan did not dare to use it even if he used a bird gun for training, one was that the gunpowder was not enough, and the other was that the guns were not enough, and the training had to be used in turns, and after the training entered the second month, the soldiers were still training to aim at the end of the gun, and there were also musket formations to advance and retreat.

Li Qingyuan will also take the time to tell you about the knowledge and skills of battlefield survival, some skills of dodging musket shooting, and some knowledge of battlefield first aid, which are just the experience of eating chicken games for Li Qingyuan, and the reading of various novels, but they are unheard of knowledge for people in this era.

Li Qingyuan was busy training, Wu Sanniang and Hou Zheng went down the mountain to the south to inquire about Wu Scar's news, the reason why everyone chose Wu Scar first was very simple, although there were many bandits around, but since Wu Scar was shouting at them first, then naturally he would clean him up first.

Maybe Wu Scar thought that Meng Can's bandits were just a small group of bandits of more than 100 people who had crossed the line, so after cleaning up, Wu Scar didn't take it seriously at all, and the bandits often fought in order to grab the land, so Wu Scar only regarded this as one of the many fires.

Therefore, Meng Can and Wu Sanniang easily heard about Wu Scar's deeds in Lutou Township, where Wu Scar often operated, this Wu Scar is indeed a habitual bandit who does all kinds of evil, Wu Scar's father and son are bandits for two generations, and his father is notorious in Shexian County.

And when his father died, his subordinates competed for the position of the head of the house, Wu Scar successively hacked to death the second master and the military division to the position of head of the house with the support of his subordinates, and the scar on his face was left by that battle.

In addition to killing people and setting fires, Wu Scar likes to harm women the most, because he has a scar on his face, so his personality is distorted, and he is often very cruel to women who dislike his appearance.

Pouring boiling water on the woman's face, dousing boiling oil, burning with fire, scratching with a knife, etc., this perverted behavior made his notoriety known to everyone in the whole county, but everyone knew his great name and no one knew where their bandit nest was.

Wu Sanniang and the others asked two or three townships without a clue, so they had to come back and tell Li Qingyuan, Li Qingyuan nodded after listening: "I'll tell you, these bandits are as bad as they are!" Can such a person be called a brother? ”

Wu Sanniang grabbed him and motioned him not to say anything, Li Qingyuan coughed and said: "Habitual bandits like them, who have been in business for two generations, must be evil for many years, and they are well-organized and cautious, it is definitely not easy to find them." ”

Meng Can sneered and said, "After talking for a long time, you still haven't been able to do it?" ”

Li Qingyuan looked at him with a smile and asked, "How do you know that I can't do it?" When did I say I had no choice? ”

Meng Can was speechless, glaring at Li Qingyuan, Li Qingyuan coughed and said: "It's not easy to find them, but it's not that they can't find them, you see, this bandit doesn't produce, and all living materials rely on robbery, so someone must have seen it from these places they robbed, and you can ask from the mouths of the mountain people and hunters in these places." ”

Li Qingyuan continued: "The second way is that this kind of bandit must have a close relationship with a nearby family, and you can inquire from this aspect, there must be a lot of rumors among the people in this regard, and it is not difficult to find it." ”

Li Qingyuan thought about it and said: "Actually, there is a simpler way, that is, to lure the snake out of the hole!" ”

Wu Sanniang asked, "How to quote the law?" ”

Li Qingyuan looked at Meng Can and said: "Judging from the fact that Meng Can was attacked, the other party has a strong sense of territory, and his own territory does not allow others to get involved, so let's let Captain Meng Can pretend to accidentally cross the line, and the other party will definitely come to drive them away again, and when the time comes, we will surround them from the outside, and we will not be able to catch them all!" ”

Meng Can was unhappy: "Why am I?" Why don't you go yourself? ”

Before Li Qingyuan could speak, Wu Sanniang said, "Okay, don't quarrel, I'll go!" ”

Li Qingyuan said with a smile: "No one else is good, only Meng Can is the leader to go!" ”

"You!" Meng Can is now like a powder keg in front of Li Qingyuan, and he has to oppose all Li Qingyuan's views, so when he saw that Li Qingyuan had to let him go, he felt that Li Qingyuan was dealing with him.

Wu Sanniang grabbed him and said, "Qingyuan, you tell me why first." ”

Li Qingyuan said with a smile: "I've told you, people are old bandits, be cautious, last time Captain Meng crossed the line once, so if you change people this time, won't the other party suspect it?" Therefore, in order to ensure safety, Captain Meng still has to go. ”

"I'll go, I'll go!" After Meng Can finished speaking, he left, looked at his back and Wu Sanniang said, "Qingyuan, why don't I go and make it clear to him?" You see he ...... like that every time. ”
