Li Qingyuan has been looking at the information on his mobile phone for the past few days, writing it down on paper, and recalling a documentary he watched before about the process of making a musket for comparison.

Compared with the arquebus, the so-called flintlock pistol is just an additional flintlock device, and the caliber is larger than that of the shotgun, and the manufacturing method of the shotgun Song Yingxing has a detailed record in Tiangong Kaiwu.

Where the hammer bird gun, first with an iron stump as a big chopstick as the cold bone, wrapped in red iron hammer. The first is three connections, the interface is red, and it is trying its best to collide. After closing, the quadrangular steel cone is like a big one, and it is rotated through it to make the aurora clean, and there is no blockage in the medicine.

And the barrel of the gun in the West is also made in this way, but when it is made, the West is made in one piece, and when the hole is turned, a manual machine tool is used.

Therefore, before Li Qingyuan made guns, he had to make handmade machine tools and various tools for making guns, and there were dozens of blacksmiths in the logistics department, so it was not a challenge for them to build a blacksmith furnace.

To make a musket, you need to have a special anvil, and the anvil is a large piece of iron, so the blacksmith always carries it with him when he transfers, so it is also easy to find a piece to make an arc-shaped groove, and various jigs can also be built on the spot.

In addition to building a house, some charcoal was burned during these two days of logging, which can be used when there is no coke, and as for the manual machine tools, a carpenter can do it.

The manual machine tool is divided into a drilling machine for drilling and a broaching machine for rifling, the structure is very simple, and there is no gear and transmission belt or anything.

It is to take two straight square logs, put a wooden frame in the middle of the square wood that can move back and forth, which is used to hold the barrel, and the other end is a turntable, and the center opening is used to hold the drill pipe.

The drill pipe is divided into many roots, from fine to coarse, and the same is true when used, first use the fine one and use the coarse little bit of expansion until the drilling of the gun chamber is completed.

The broaching machine is the same everywhere else, but the barrel is fixed, and a rod slightly thinner than the caliber of the barrel is inserted into the chamber, one end is stuck with an iron plate, and the other end is fixed to a round wooden rail.

The guide rail is a thicker piece of wood with a spiral groove carved into it, and this piece of wood passes through another ring fixed to the machine with a protrusion corresponding to the groove.

When the wooden rail is pulled in this way, the wooden rail will rotate along the wooden rifling because of the fit of the groove and the convex rail, so that the lever in the chamber of the gun will also rotate into the shape of rifling.

Of course, these tools require a higher hardness than the barrel, so after making the tool from wrought iron, it needs to be charcoaled, and the original method is to heat the tool until it turns red and bury it in coal.

Of course, when he didn't have his own iron-making furnace, Li Qingyuan could only use this method, and it took eight days to make various tools and molds.

Eight days later, the real gun building began, and the blacksmith first found the discarded bird rod, and combined the two into a palm-wide iron plate, one slightly wider and slightly thicker, which was basic for the blacksmith.

It took a day to complete, and the next day the blacksmith began to burn the iron piece red, and hit it with a hammer with a special cushion that matched the curved groove on the anvil, in order to ensure that the outer diameter of the barrel did not differ.

After the iron sheet is beaten into a tubular type, the next step is welding, the so-called welding is actually the process of connecting the cracks together through repeated forging after being burned red, which requires the master's exquisite craftsmanship to be seamless.

And in the process of welding, it is necessary to set the iron rod, and the force needs to be even, and it should not be too heavy, and this writing thing can not be learned in a day or two.

The iron piece is welded by a little forging, and finally beaten into a barrel embryo, at this time the outer diameter of the barrel is eight sides of the bagua-shaped, which is not only convenient for the clamp, but also easier to make than a round.

The barrel embryo can be loaded on the drilling machine to start drilling the inner chamber, fix the barrel, first drill little by little with the smallest drill pipe, in order to prevent heating, you can apply a cold towel on the barrel and keep changing.

After drilling a little, it is necessary to remove and wipe the drill bit, clear the iron filings in the gun chamber, and prevent too many iron filings from rotating with the drill pipe to wear the gun chamber, this process can not be too fast, too fast, and not too slow, otherwise the drill bit is easy to break, damage the barrel, and the manufacture of a drill bit is not easy.

Although this process is still very primitive, a skilled worker can still drill three or four barrels a month, and Li Qingyuan did not keep an eye on the barrel drilling during the period.

At this time, Li Qingyuan had already gone down the mountain with Wu Sanniang to prepare to start the first action of the Tianli Council, and the target of the first action was Majiazhuang, more than forty miles southwest of Wu'an.

Majiazhuang is mainly surnamed Ma, but the land in the village is not the Ma family, and half of the land is owned by the Tao family in Cishan Town.

Of course, Li Qingyuan's target this time is not the Tao family, but the Tao family's dogleg family, the second largest landlord of Majiazhuang, the Zhao family, since the Zhao family landlord climbed to the Tao family, it can be said that he is invincible in Majiazhuang.

The Zhao family not only helped the Tao family manage the land of Majiazhuang, but also opened a coal kiln in the southeast of Majiazhuang with the blessing of the Tao family.

This is also a big reason why Li Qingyuan chose him among a large number of wicked people, because he not only has food, but also coal, and Li Qingyuan is now short of coal.

The Zhao family employed more than 2,000 people in the coal mine, so the family has always had grain, which is said to be tens of thousands of stones, and the coal mined from the coal mine had to be transported to Majia Village, then to Cishan Town, then to Wu'an, and finally to the mining town to make iron.

So this time, in addition to taking the Tianli Council to do things, Li Qingyuan also took 2,000 soldiers to act as laborers to carry the grain back to the cottage, and with this batch of food, everyone will not have to worry about the New Year.

The large army traveled 60 miles through the mountains and forests, and arrived at a place 10 miles northwest of Majiazhuang in the evening of the same day, and in the middle of the night, Li Qingyuan began to sneak into the village with 300 soldiers of the Tianli Society.

The Zhao family's compound is not in the center of Majia Village, but because of the relationship between transporting coal, the entire courtyard falls in the northeast direction of Majia Village, and the attack has to face two walls, one is the village wall, and the other is the Zhao family's courtyard wall.

As a village under the Taihang Mountain, it will be attacked by bandits every year, even if Kangqian is prosperous, there are still bandits in various places, but it is difficult to form a climate, so the villagers here have a strong sense of anti-banditry.

The whole mountain village has a population of about 2,000 people, it is the largest village in the vicinity, the periphery of the mountain village is a circle of earth walls, two feet thick, all made of adobe, if you can't break through quickly, I am afraid that when the villagers climb the wall, they will be in trouble if they want to fight.
