Wu Dapeng trained twenty and a half sons and two hundred selected miscellaneous soldiers every day, hoping to enable them to quickly become an army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

None of the six space-time smugglers had military experience, but even if they did, it was useless, who had ever seen such a strange combination? So, whoever comes is a novice, fumbling for it.

But fortunately, everyone can discuss, and even, twenty and a half children have some practical experience and can put forward their own opinions.

When everyone was discussing before, Wu Dapeng said: "In addition to ourselves, our core strength is the twenty and a half children...... The second force is those two hundred perimeter personnel, so their loyalty and ability are the key to security! ”

Wan Shida had just returned from looking for ore in the mountains at this time, and he said: "There is no problem with twenty and a half children, the key is in the peripheral personnel...... It's better to change their costumes to be the same as the half-sized children. ”

Everyone understands at once that the uniformity of clothing often makes individual people's actions, thoughts and habits produce a certain commonality, and don't underestimate the power of uniforms.

It's a good idea!

Song Ziqiang said: "There are only twenty arquebusiers, and there are too few people, take out all the arquebuses in our stockpile, organize them into a hundred, and we will ......rest assured after we leave."

Everyone could understand the situation, so they discussed the so-called formation around the arquebusiers as the core, and finally came up with a combination of a hundred arquebusiers, thirty archers, thirty sword players, and sixty pikemen, which they called a company.

The advantage of this combination is that they can be disassembled or recombined at any time according to the different requirements of river bank warfare, naval warfare, and jungle warfare.

Song Ziqiang also proposed to add a grenadier class!

When you think about it, there was indeed this class in history, but it didn't become very popular later, so there must be a reason why it wasn't suitable.

Song Ziqiang said at the time: "There is no need to add new personnel...... Let the knife players work part-time, and there is still some way to go before they can go into battle. I'll do it, I can ensure safety, and if you practice more, you will definitely increase your accuracy. ”

Well, this one works, let's not talk about offense...... For example, if it is a guard battle, or even a ship battle, it is useful to get it wrong.

Wan Shida thought about it and could only say: "It's hard to shoot a bow and arrow at sea...... It's also hard to throw bombs, and in general, this plane is still dominated by gang hopping battles, so maybe it's really useful. ”

As for the two bronze cannons that they were going to cast, they were going to build a military fortress at the mouth of the river with the fort as the mainstay, and at that time it would no longer be a bamboo and wood building, but a fortress-like fortress complex.

Now it seems that the danger is mainly from the sea, so if you hold the mouth of the river, you will hold here.

Song Ziqiang said again: "Those half-sized children are all cultivated by us, even if it is the policy of the first army, they can't all join the army, right?" ”

Wang Defa said: "In this way, we are half-working and half-army, and we are also at the level of two knives in the military, so let's help them improve their level and make up for their shortcomings in science and technology." ”

Wu Dapeng smiled and said, "It's true that the level of two knives is at the level of two knives, but what, the level of this time and space is even worse...... We won't go to the plains to fight with the Tatars and resist their cavalry, but the ability to call them two dead pairs will definitely be there! ”

Speaking of which, everyone is full of confidence, and the sense of security has always been built by themselves, and no one can give it!

The next military training tasks began to be semi-formalized.

Arquebusiers, pikemen must learn to walk in line, this is the first step...... The grenadiers first find stones to train their strength.

Archers, people don't have to worry about others at all, dozens of them find a place to practice on their own.

Everyone's enthusiasm is high!

The reason here is simple, because they have all increased their monthly salaries.

Now, the six space-time smugglers are also relieved that one of the benefits of this system is that it obliterates the characteristics and strengthens the commonalities.

There is no sense of imbalance between them, those who work hard and those who know some crafts.

Everyone is a ten-run banknote, and no one picks it......

However, the six space-time smugglers also know that once the construction and development enter a higher level, then special requirements may come out.

Therefore, they should slowly prepare for different situations to have a quick response.

Looking at these ancients from the height of history, they did have a sense of superiority in their hearts.

But Hu Zhenbei, a blacksmith who thought he was talented, was not convinced by Song Ziqiang's arrangement at all.

He said, "Why don't you let so-and-so cast a bronze cannon?" A certain ...... who has cast a big bell"

Song Ziqiang was the same as him at this time, stepping up to build an arquebus.

They took out all the family foundations, including the ones that were built in Honghe Creek before, but there were only more than 100 branches. There is no way to do this, good iron, they are not lacking for the time being, there are dozens of blacksmiths, but there are still too many jobs, just one to build labor tools, it took them a lot of time, and sometimes they have to send people to the construction site to repair, the last time the Tatar army sneak attacked, Hu Zhenbei blacksmith went to the construction site.

At that time, after those craftsmen were scolded by Song Ziqiang, they drove a small boat to catch the soldiers who jumped into the river, and sure enough, none of the soldiers in the water dared to resist, and no one was injured in those who went there...... So the previous fear was really something.

In addition, when they saw the majesty of Song Ziqiang's bow, the craftsmen all respected him more.

Only Hu Zhenbei was not convinced, he thought that he had not encountered it, and if he did, he was afraid that he was more heroic than the Song master's family!

Song Ziqiang didn't bother to deal with him, but decided that he had to prepare forty or fifty more branches before leaving, in case there was an accident.

Song Ziqiang and Hu Zhenbei blacksmiths were both wrapped in iron rods, leisurely hitting the barrel of a gun, and the iron hammers in their hands had a sense of rhythm.

Song Ziqiang said: "Casting bronze is a meticulous job...... Besides, building the arquebus is the most urgent thing now, and it needs to be divided into ......."

Blacksmith Hu Zhenbei sighed at this time and said, "I really wish I could smoke your cigarettes...... It's a pity that there isn't. ”

There is no way to do this, and they didn't expect that there can be smokers in the time and space of the Great Song Dynasty, and a few can be addicted, and they can bring less.

However, they brought tobacco seeds, which were planted in Lin'an County, and also in Badaohe, so wait a few months.

At this time, the craftsman who cast the bronze cannon came and said very respectfully: "Song Shipbow, I'm going to make a mold......

Song Ziqiang raised his hand to look at the watch, don't look at the ancients who didn't have watches, this time is still very accurate, exactly twelve hours after casting.

The mold is used to break the outer layer of ceramic shell after the copper liquid is cooled, and the rough embryo body of the bronze cannon is directly peeled off.

The next step was to grind the surface of the cast bronze gun, remove the burrs, and then simply round the barrel to make it smoother.

Finally, it is simply tempered to increase its toughness.

Another advantage of the bronze cannon is that it does not require strict tempering, or a heat treatment workshop has to be built specifically for it......

Song Ziqiang and the craftsman hurried to take a look, and the blacksmith Hu Zhenbei also wanted to go, but he stopped him...... You can't watch the excitement during working hours!

The foundry workshop is actually another large bamboo shed not far from their blacksmith's greenhouse, which was originally used to cast large iron pots.

Now the big iron pot is enough, and it is being upgraded, and the iron kettle with a lid has been cast, which is used for chemical industry......

After Song Ziqiang arrived, he ordered the mold to be erected, and the craftsmen began to carefully break the pottery shell, and at this time, the blue-red bronze cannon with blue and yellow appeared in front of everyone.

Song Ziqiang squatted on the ground and checked it, and found that the wall of the cylinder was still quite even, and he reached in and touched it, it was quite smooth, and the thickness of the powder room was also good.

Another advantage of the bronze cannon is that it will not suddenly explode, but will have a noticeable deformation beforehand, telling the gunner that if there is another dose of gunpowder, it will explode!

Song Ziqiang began to lead the craftsmen to do the post-processing work.

However, in the end, it was not the bronze artillery that completed the test work first.

Previously, Wanshida went into the mountains mainly to find bauxite, which was to serve the processing of high-strength and high-temperature resistant kilns.

According to the information brought from that world, this place, like the Longyan area in Fujian, belongs to the aluminium distribution zone, and it is a laterite-type deposit bedding area.

Modern lateritic bauxite in China is mainly formed in low-latitude areas, such as Fujian, Hainan and some areas of Guangdong.

These areas are characterized by hot weather, abundant rainfall, and easily weathered basalt, which can form modern laterite-type bauxite.

But unfortunately, Wanshida has found aluminum ore, they don't want to follow the metallogenic standards of the world, only a few are fine, but no...... Or if there is, it is also deeply buried.

Everyone had to decide to wait to get some in the Longyan area of Fujian, because there is a rare open-pit bauxite, even if the road may not be developed, but it can be carried by people and donkeys.

When Wanshida returned, he was also taken aback by the attack of the Tatar navy, which was too unexpected.

He also hurriedly threw himself into military production and immediately grabbed the production of wood.

The butt and handle of the arquebus are easy to say, this can be sent one, and they will process and assemble one.

Bed crossbows are also easy to say, through the processing of English longbows, they found that compared with other hardwoods, yew wood is also more suitable for bed crossbows, so they listed yew wood as a special product for stringed weapons, and other industries will give in.

From now on, it is possible to rotate out the right wood from several different wood drying kilns.

Wanshida's main task is to build wooden cannons!

At the beginning, he was really startled, Wang Defa said: "Really, in that world, during the Anti-Japanese War, I really used this thing, within ten rounds, there is absolutely no problem, it mainly depends on the amount of charge." ”

Wanshida was still a little worried, so he organized people to start repeated exhaustive verification.

Because it has been carefully trial-produced, in the end, on the premise of not hurting a person, the most cost-effective data was come up.

In terms of materials, they chose the middle section of acacia wood as the gun body, and the place near the root as the gun barrel, taking advantage of its fine texture and not easy to deform, and rarely warping.

In terms of manufacturing method, the combination method of processing the gun chamber after cutting it open, and then realigning the hoop with two pieces.

Song Ziqiang doesn't understand, why don't you just hollow it out? If you want the same caliber, you can do it......

Wan Shida said helplessly: "I've tried, but there is no way to unify the amount of charge...... With a few more pieces of iron, the effect is the same, and I can process the breech more easily. ”

Another reason for choosing acacia wood is that it is extremely resistant to moisture and is not afraid of insects, although the wood cannons will not last long, but you still have to store a batch first, in case of continuous use, right?

Cannonballs are easy to do, just use limestone stone shells!

Let the stonemason carve it round and apply whale oil to reduce the friction with the gun breech!

When the final shape is finalized, it is time for the final test gun.

It was a 10-day rest day, and there were many onlookers, but they were all stopped 30 meters away.

Wanshida also designed a four-wheeled gun carriage for it, which was pulled to the mouth of the river and was about to fire at the river.
