Meng Yunpu walked in with a spear about seven feet long and less than an inch in caliber, which also had a bayonet and a simple sight on it, which was a typical flintlock pistol and bayonet pattern, in addition, the butt was also improved, using a shoulder rest made of straight wood.

"Who is this", the students in the teacher all turned around and stared at Meng Yunpu in unison.

Meng Yunpu who walked in was full of stubble, his hair was unkempt, his whole person was like a beggar, and even the spear in his hand was better than himself, and the students in the classroom couldn't help pinching their noses, because the smell of Meng Yunpu was too strong. Many of the cadets now wish the guards could get this man out of the way.

Only Yang Ming showed surprise on his face, and directly announced that he would stop lecturing, and then hurriedly ran over and snatched the brand-new flintlock pistol from Meng Yunpu's hand.

Yang Ming was very satisfied with this, because the flintlock pistol in Meng Yunpu's hand was already the highest level of front-loading flintlock pistol, but it had not yet been rifled, but in this era, if it formed a queue, it was enough to restrain any cavalry.

However, Yang Ming was not only satisfied with this, he brought Meng Yunpu to Jia Kui, Jia Kui had already granulated the gunpowder according to Yang Ming's guidance, and also carried out a paper shell charge, and the preparation of ** was also improved, it can be said that in addition to the limited chemical level, smokeless gunpowder or even high explosives were not manufactured, and the ammunition has reached the highest level or even advanced level in the current era.

At this time, it was already drizzling outside, and a layer of ash had been laid outside the entire powder magazine, and the ash gradually condensed into lumps due to the absorption of moisture, but the stored gunpowder particles were still as dry as ever, and several craftsmen were still skillfully following the new recipe ** and paper shell bullets. Yang Ming took a pack of paper shell bullets, and then pulled the trigger to aim and a series of operations, the live ammunition in the flintlock gun was fired, once, twice, three times, four times, and Yang Ming fired four rounds in a row.

"Yes, it's just that this hammer head, striking iron and other parts are not so easy to cast, and this rivet is not easy to cast, how do you do it", Yang Ming was very satisfied with Meng Yunpu's results.

Meng Yunpu rubbed his soothed hair covered in soot with his jet-black fingers, and said with a smile: "It's not because Gongzi asked the iron factory to get some crucible steelmaking and smelting skills, and there are a lot of so-called knives and castings, and it is not difficult to get these, and the small one also went to the market town to catch a few jewelers, and it took some effort to succeed." ”

Yang Ming nodded, the improvement of the iron-making process is the basis for the improvement of firearms, which is also the reason why he immediately set out to improve the Han family's iron yard, otherwise this Meng Yunpu would not have made such a fine flintlock pistol so easily even if he studied hard. However, Yang Ming is now wondering if this flintlock pistol can be mass-produced now that there are firearm samples and a more advanced iron factory, and whether this front-loading method can be changed to a rear-loading type, etc.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the steel production technology was already very advanced in this era, and only appropriate improvements, such as starting from stirring iron, smelting cast iron and crucible cast iron, etc., could obtain ideal firearm parts and the production cycle of firearms was greatly shortened to about two weeks.

Of course, if a seamless iron pipe was made, the manufacturing cycle of the barrel could be reduced to negligible, but now with the ability of the Han Iron Yard to make an elaborate flintlock pistol, it is still quite difficult to jump directly to the 19th century, and sometimes the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.

Yang Ming took the time to hold a commendation meeting, and presented Meng Yunpu with a Grade A Science and Technology Medal and a bonus of 1,000 silver dollars in front of thousands of people, while Jia Kui and Liu Blacksmith also received a Grade B medal and a bonus of 500 silver dollars for their respective contributions.

After determining the whole process from refining standard parts to assembling firearms, Yang Ming directly blocked the technology, and the latest flintlock pistol was renamed the Hanjia gun to prevent others from guessing its principle from the name of the flintlock gun, and at the same time, he also quickly reorganized the Hanjia Ordnance Institute:

"From now on, the firearms institute is divided into three departments, one is the iron factory, the second is the ammunition factory, and the third is the firearms manufacturing factory.

Director Liu and Director Jia are each responsible for the technical improvement of their own unit, and Director Meng is responsible for integrating all the technologies into the improvement of firearms, but the gunarms manufacturing must be subdivided into several units and the engineers of each unit must be trained.

The engineer of each unit does not have to know the whole process of firearms manufacturing, but must be proficient in the technology of his own unit. The last unit is the assembly of firearm parts, and this unit is the same, as long as you are proficient in assembly, you don't have to know other processes of firearms manufacturing, in short, you want to establish what I call assembly line production!

Even if the engineer of one unit defects to the enemy, the enemy will not be able to master the entire process of making firearms in our army.

Of course, if each engineer has made outstanding contributions, the basic bonus is more than 500 silver dollars and there are appropriate dividends, and they will be promoted to the rank of knight. In addition, the most ordinary employees of the Hanjia Ordnance Institute enjoy the same treatment as the soldiers of the Han Army, and the person in charge enjoys the same treatment as officers of the same level. ”

After the reorganization, the Han Arsenal can be said to have been reborn, and with the improvement of welfare benefits, technological upgrading and management concepts, the productivity has also been greatly improved, and 1,000 Han guns have been produced in less than a month, which means that a month's production can equip a battalion.

The current Han Army has four battalions, a military police brigade directly under it and a guard regiment, totaling nearly 6,000 people.

In other words, if Yang Ming was given another five months, Yang Ming would be enough to create an army with strong firepower, enough to sweep the same number of infantry in the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court did not give Yang Ming enough time. However, sometimes the reality is always less perfect than planned, just after Yang Ming trained the second battalion with the first flintlock pistol, and the second batch of trainees was officially incorporated into the Han army to serve as the commander of the army, less than half a month later, the 20,000 troops of the imperial court had gathered in Kuizhou Mansion.

The main hall of the backyard of the former Dongxiang County County Government is the main hall of the former Dongxiang County County Government, which has now been transformed into a staff department, and the wall that originally hung the three friends of the year and the cold was hung with the newly drawn Ming Dynasty version of the map of eastern Sichuan, and the center of the hall was also removed from the floor and a pit was dug up, and the sand grains were piled up to make a sand table.

Yang Ming, the supreme commander of the Han Army, Lan Guanwei, chief of staff and general of the first battalion, Bai Qian, deputy chief of staff and chief of the envoy of Jinyi, Chen Daharizi, the garrison of the military police brigade directly under him, Liu Hei, the general of the second battalion, Cao Laosan, the general of the third battalion, and Yang Dazhu, the general of the fourth battalion, and other military dignitaries of the Han army were standing around this sand table at this time, all with serious expressions and not smiling.

The first to speak was Bai Qian: "Childe, and brothers, we have obtained the latest battle plan of the official army.

Among them, Zeng Ying's department has a total of more than 10,000 officers and troops expected to go to Xinning County to replenish the supply and raise the rear troops in two ways, of which the garrison Li Zhanchun led 5,000 men to attack Xiashan Pass in the south of our county, while Zeng Ying and his subordinates garrisoned Hu Mingfeng to attack Tieshan Pass in the west of our county;

Zhao Ronggui's department has sent 5,000 people from Tan Harmonic to go out of Yunyang to Kaixian, and go straight to my Dongxiang county seat from Tanjialing; Zhao Ronggui personally led 6,000 people out of Daning, preparing to recapture the strategic point of Taiping County in a roundabout way, so as to prevent us from going north to Li Zicheng! ”

"It's the division of troops again, if we remember wrong, Gongzi once told us about the battle of Salhu, the emperor has changed a few times, why is it still this way of fighting", Lan Guanwei said with a smile.

"According to Gongzi, the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Salhu was Yang Hao, the left squire of the military department and the Liaodong Economic Strategy at that time, what everyone didn't know was that Lord Ge Qizuoge of the current Sichuan East Patrol Road was a student of this Lord Yang, otherwise this second-class jinshi would not still stay in this poor country as a small soldier, but this apprentice is the same as the master, and there is only one method of war."

Bai Qian smiled and told the details of Ge Qizuo, who is now directly commanding 20,000 officers and troops, and most of the people smiled contemptuously, very disdainful.

Only Yang Ming shook his head: "This is not the case, Yang Hao also has his reasons for using soldiers, this person is not incompetent, and his performance in the battle of Korea is still remarkable, but this Lord Ge also used this method to encircle and suppress us this time, and naturally he also thinks that we are just ordinary grass cobs like Lord Yang, on the surface, the division of troops is actually to surround us, you see, he chose to capture the key points of our four directions, not to attack the county seat, its purpose is to let us get into the pocket he tied for us, If you can't escape, then choose any location to fight us! ”

Everyone nodded.

Yang Ming then said: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, we are invincible in a hundred battles, we have few people but elite soldiers, and there are many officers and soldiers but most of them are loose in discipline of the guards, so we can say that both sides have their own advantages, since he divides the troops, we will join forces and break through each one, doesn't the surname Ge want to tie his pockets to encircle and suppress us, we will jump out, eliminate him in the sports war, and then directly tear his mouth!" ”

"Yes, jump out and tear his hole, Childe, give the order!" Everyone couldn't help but get excited, after Yang Ming's military edification and systematic study, these generals were no longer as reckless and ignorant as they were at the beginning.
