Chapter 54 The Great Bolt Fire Gun is Finalized

How to integrate with these "volunteers" of the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Defa and Zhang Guoan discussed in advance, they are different from mercenaries, let alone those bought cavalry, and it is a good way to treat them as auxiliary forces as possible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Defa proposed to organize them into more than 20 squads, and temporarily let them be combined with the Liuqiu Guard.

Zhao An's command immediately agreed at that time, because he was more familiar with the fighting style of the Liuqiu Guards in the Xiangyang area.

At that time, he also said proudly: "I thought that such a detachment method is very good, if the army is defeated, it will not be a thousand miles of collapse!" ”

After he finished speaking, Wang Defa and Captain Huang Zu looked at each other in front of each other, and they were speechless for a while.

Wang Defa immediately arranged for Captain Huang Zu to be his deputy, I was really afraid that he would command indiscriminately!

Wang Defa and Zhang Guoan, the island lords, had already made clear their military policy on the Shandong Peninsula, that is, on land, they only had to hold the Jiaoshui and Jiaozhou areas, and let them attack by themselves; At sea, they still want to put the blood of the Tatar bandit groups and continue to harass in the northern coastal cities!

On the whole, it is the spirit of "three noes", no war, no harmony, and no talk.

The current situation is that they are charging ahead, letting the entire Great Song Dynasty move a small stool to watch the battle, which is of course an unexpected situation.

Zhao An's command was not satisfied with the fact that after each military training, he let the soldiers do agricultural labor for a while.

He considered it an insult to the military.

Captain Huang Zu, as his deputy, could only explain to him slowly, in fact, because they had captured a lot of prisoners, and now the soldiers' physical work was very small------ as for saying that everyone still had to participate in labor, the reason was very simple, they soldiers would get to know each other more in labor, and maybe they could make friends.

Zhao An's control didn't understand at that time, and work can also increase understanding? Maybe you can make friends?! This is really nonsense!!

Captain Huang Zu thought with a wry smile, when he and he first heard Zhang Guoan's statement, the two of them had the same reaction, but now it is really different.

He said again, on Liuqiu Island, there is no one who does not participate in labor, you see that the head of Wang Defa's family also works himself!

This is indeed the truth, Wang Defa is leading the laborers to build his sugar mill, and he is doing it himself, just like other laborers.

Zhao An could only nod in approval, he said: "He is not like a businessman, but more like a great craftsman!" ”

Captain Huang Zu immediately agreed, saying, "That's true! Moreover, several of them are the same, maybe they will make some monster pieces, which is very useful!! ”

At this time, after their cavalry team had adjusted, they finally arrived here by boat.

They have to get used to the weather and the colder winters.

The owner of Zhang Guoan also modified them, and the bows and sabers they originally used remained unchanged, but cavalry-style fires and grenades were added.

This cavalry-style firearm is a real fire-type firearm, but because it is used by cavalry, it is shorter than the barrel of other arms, and the effective firing distance is about 100 meters.

After completing part of the industrial infrastructure, Zhang Guoan decided to upgrade his weapons.

This is actually a large bolt-type firecracker, which is equivalent to the folk version of the earthen gun, but it is very powerful, and it can also kill wild boars at a distance of 50 meters.

The bullet used is similar to that of a shotgun, with a straight barrel with a sealed top and an open bottom, ready to mount a copper primer.

Its whole is extruded with celluloid.

When Wang Defa completed the construction of the lathe, in addition to slowly copying themselves, the main purpose was to process various molds.

Now, the demand for their celluloid products in the Dasong market is basically endless.

Of course, even if their low-nitrogen cotton, i.e. nitrocellulose, alcohol and camphor are theoretically infinite, their processing capacity is really limited, so they have to control demand through high prices.

This thing will start burning immediately when it encounters an open flame, but no one is idle to use the fire to light the window to play, right?!

Of course, the glass will sell well, and if the price is lowered a little, the middle class will soon join the buyers.

However, they also need to raise the level of their weapons, and they can only be at ease if they take out the Tatar bandit group, so they don't mention that they don't want to draw some of the products to make bullets.

The primer of this bullet is also stamped twice on the mold, and like the fire cap, it is recycled after firing.

The caliber of this large bolt gun is 12 millimeters, the total length is 1.1 meter, and the bayonet is 1.6 meters.

The barrel is a seamless steel tube made of medium carbon steel, with a hardwood body and butt, without a bayonet, and the total number of guns is 2.3 kilograms.

Its magazine is a large bolt opening and pulling type, exposing the magazine when it is opened, and at the same time completing the action of compressing the needle spring, after putting in the bullet, pushing the large bolt to complete the closing action.

In order to prevent the phenomenon of exploding, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, reduced the amount of gunpowder he fired.

He reduced the kinetic energy of the bullet out of the muzzle, which shortened the effective firing distance to about 150 meters, but it was no less lethal.

This also reduces the recoil of the large bolt gun, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of the soldier's shooting.

Other firearm accessories have also been fitted, herringbone shoulder whale leather straps, whale skin shoulder bags, whale skin holsters, whale skin shoulder straps, whale skin bayonet scabbards, whale skin bullet boxes that can be hung on the belt, whale skin grenade pouches, and whale skin gloves.

When the first gun was trial-made, he found that the key to the whole bolt gun was the sealing effect of the bolt, and he simply used an embedded closure method at the front end of the bolt cover, and the closure effect was very good.

Haha, this is extremely difficult for the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty to imitate------ but it is also difficult for the craftsmen of the Liuqiu!

At that time, Wang Defa said to Zhang Guoan: "Don't hate them for copying, I still hope they can follow suit!" In the future, we will only sell bullets, and we will need at least high school chemistry knowledge to understand the chemistry here------"

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "Hehe, if there is really that day, we can eat the arms business of the Great Song Dynasty for several lifetimes!" ”

Wang Defa didn't say anything at that time, they had already changed too much history, and it was difficult for them to estimate what would happen if they went any further.

They were accompanied by five hundred "deputy cavalry", who were not cavalry retinues, but were arranged by Zhang Guoan to learn riding with them.

So far, the Mamluk cavalry was the only force that also defeated the Tatar cavalry with cavalry, and the many reasons for this do not need to be discussed, just the results.

The lord of Zhang Guoan believed in the loyalty of these people, they would never surrender to the Tatars, and he also gave them freedom and gave them money.

In a foreign land, they can only be loyal to themselves.

However, Zhang Guoan and Wang Defa jointly believed that they still had to build their own cavalry, and they would definitely use this military branch in large numbers in the future.

Therefore, he arranged for the same smaller team members to train with them, and even the grooms they bought were equipped with people to learn from them, after all, very few people in this time and space have had the opportunity to come into contact with these two horses. (To be continued.) )
