Zhao Zhezi was moved by him again, indeed, the next round made a lot of progress, and he was hit by five shots out of ten, which can be regarded as an ace musketeer. However, in the next few rounds, it was basically maintained at five or six. It's really too difficult to reach seven out of ten, and even if it's six, it's an occasional thing.

After more than an hour, Zhao Zhe's excitement gradually passed, and he knew that it would be impossible to make a name for himself if he fought again. Unconsciously a little excited, he said: "Hong Jie, are there many wild things in this mountain?" Let's go back to the mountains and hunt some game. ”

"Your Majesty, all kinds of beasts in this mountain are still quite abundant, and it just so happens to be late autumn. Most of the wild creatures have accumulated enough fat and are preparing to wait for the weather to cool down for the winter. Hong Jie was also very interested: "I thought it was a musketeer guard, there are many brothers who are good at bow hunting, and today's exquisite spear is even sharper, and it should be able to hunt a lot of good things." Let your subordinates prepare a little, and you can enter the mountain at dawn tomorrow. ”

Zhao Zhe, who is tired of shooting targets, is very interested in hunting with a gun. Again, we visited the improved version of the last gun, which also used prefabricated shells, but because each shell was extremely heavy, it was impossible to use the magazines on the musket. This kind of cannon is naturally called a delicate cannon.

It's already late in the evening, so I just had something to eat at this department. Zhao Zhe began to give orders to the officials here, this kind of exquisite spear that can load a bullet with just a push and pull, as well as the supporting elixir, immediately began large-scale production, and priority was given to equipping the dragon spear guard. Exquisite cannons and shells should also be produced in large quantities.

In fact, in this era, the so-called mass production is not the imaginary repeated mass production of a certain product through mechanical equipment. At most, the embryo of each part is cast first by using molds on various parts. It is then polished by hand by a blacksmith and then assembled with accessories. Especially the breech, the breech. In the manufacturing process, it is a top priority, in order to prevent the explosion, the material used is the best forged steel, and the effort spent on hand forging and grinding is also very large. The same is true for bullets, each bullet must be carefully crafted and repeatedly inspected, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will kill your own people on the battlefield.

To speed up production, you need to recruit a large number of blacksmiths and build more forges. Fortunately, Xu Linglong's girl had already recruited a large number of blacksmiths with outstanding skills and a certain level at the beginning. There are so many of them, and there are nearly hundreds. In addition, in the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War, as well as the Smelting Department of the Ministry of Industry, there are many ready-made blacksmiths, as well as forging furnaces and other equipment. The total number is enough to make up a thousand blacksmiths with good skills.

But the delicate spear is a delicate job, even a famous blacksmith, must carefully ponder it before gradually becoming familiar with the production. They have also tried, it takes at least half a month for a blacksmith to produce a delicate gun, even if it is to optimize the process, carry out assembly line production, and produce ten exquisite guns, it will also take ten craftsmen and ten days. In other words, if you want to produce Linglong guns at full strength, even if you have 1,000 craftsmen, you will only produce 1,000 Linglong guns every 10 days. As for the Linglong cannon, it is even more incredible, even if all the materials are in place, it will take more than 300 labors to produce one.

Zhao Zhe's advice is to recruit people, and recruit smart and clever boys and girls on a large scale. Let them participate, everyone only needs to be familiar with one process and be proficient in one process. As long as there is one process, under intensive training, you will soon fully master that process. Of course, this kind of Zhao Zhena's assembly line factory in the world is not fully operational within a month or two. In particular, the production of ammunition can be done by young people with nimble hands and feet after making some tools.

In this way, in the early days of the war, it was only built by relying on the craftsmanship of the old blacksmiths, little by little, using more traditional methods. Zhao Zhe gave them a death order, and within three months, six thousand Linglong guns and one million Linglong guns and bullets must be completed. Moreover, within these three months, it was necessary to produce at least a hundred Linglong cannons, ten thousand Linglong artillery shells. Resources and other resources are directly contacted by the Ministry of Industry, so that the Ministry of Industry can help prepare or procure.

As for the dragon lance guard, he continued to train with arquebuses, but every time the equipment was enough for a thousand households, this thousand households would first take the equipment to Liaodong and wait for Liu Pojun's orders. After the equipment is complete, I believe that with the help of the exquisite spear, the comprehensive strength of the dragon spear guard should not be inferior to any ace army. Especially in defensive battles, the role of defending a city can be extremely high. And itself, when this dragon spear guard was formed, it was an elite soldier used, not only good at long-range tactics, but also not weak in melee skills. For the training of melee, cross-country, physical strength, and other subjects, Hong Jie has never pulled down a day.

Even if it is a thousand households equipped with exquisite spears, if they participate in the defense of the city, they can teach the Houjin barbarians who dare to attack the city a ruthless lesson. As for the Linglong cannon, after every ten guns and the corresponding number of shells, the cannons and shells were transported to the front line separately, and they were arranged by Liu Pojun. I believe that Liu Pojun will gradually like these things. As he often mentioned in the recital, he liked the martial arts masters who could help him clean up the opponent's scouts.

After arranging the work, under the order of Zhao Zhe, the entire department of organs was linked to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household in the imperial court in the capital, and vigorously operated the task of producing sharp firearms in large quantities. With such an exaggerated production, the amount of money consumed every day is probably tens of thousands of taels. But now Zhao Zhe is not afraid, with the support of those old rich people who have absorbed the fat and ointment of the people for a long time, but are afraid of death, what is this money? As long as you win the battle, it is stronger than anything else. A small loss can naturally be recovered from the defeated Houjin State.

Zhao Zhe was not worried that he would not be able to get the aid of 140 million taels. Since the representatives of those big families and landlord classes have already agreed, it is absolutely impossible to go back. It's not that they're all credibility people. It's just that in these years, there are not many people who dare to blatantly play such an obvious trick of bullying the king. After all, the crime of bullying the king is a big crime, and it can be done by raiding the house and distributing it to the frontier. In the worst case, it will be beheaded, or even connected to the nine clans, etc. I believe that those people, under the current situation, do not dare to play this kind of trick.

……

The next morning.

Zhao Zhe dragged Xu Linglong, who had not seen him for a long time and had been ridiculous all night, into the mountains to relax together. He was accompanied by more than thirty powerful imperial guards, hundreds of dragon lancers with arquebuses, or a small number of experimental delicate spears. Naturally, there are also four maids who are said to be delicate and beautiful, and both kinds of kung fu are getting better and better.

Zhao Zhe rode on the snow, carrying the exquisite spear weighing more than ten catties. Xu Linglong, who was dressed as a pretty girl next to her, said: "Look, this kind of small detail. If a soldier holds such a heavy gun, his arm will be very difficult after a long time. If you make a shoulder belt with a coarse cloth belt here, you can carry the delicate spear on your chest, so that you can save a lot of physical strength when you are marching or fighting. And you see, the storage of bullets is also extremely inconvenient, you can design a belt, and dozens of small bags side by side are sewn with strong burlap on the belt, just enough to fit a bullet tightly into it. A couple of slightly larger bags, just enough to fit a magazine. In this way, it is much more convenient for the fighters to change the magazine, when changing the bullets. Also, you can design an extra strap to carry from the front and back of the shoulder to the waist, more or less, and you can also carry dozens of more bullets. You can't carry a hundred bullets with one person, and you have to carry a box with you, right? ”

"It's a good idea, but it's what a tailor does, and I have a lot of things to do and a lot of research to experiment." Xu Linglong replied coldly. Although I was crazy with him last night, I was quite happy. But he dragged himself into the mountains, saying that he was hunting for leisure. This provoked a lot of dissatisfaction with Xu Linglong. It went deep into the mountains, back and forth for at least a few days. In her words, it was simply murdering her life, murdering her time to create and develop. When I think of growing up, I have never wasted time like this. Xu Linglong's cute little mouth pouted.

Zhao Zhe touched his nose and instructed Hong Jie the same thing. Let him go to the Ministry of Works, and get some tailors to make some of these seemingly simple, but very useful things.

"Now, Linglong. I'm not talking about you. Zhao Zhe didn't seem to be teaching his wife a lesson, but talking to his daughter: "I work in the department all day long, and I will get sick after a long time." Entering the deep mountains and old forests, you can absorb and absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and maybe you can add some good ideas that are inspired.

Zhao Zhe likes outdoor activities quite a lot, and as he was talking, he was sharp-eyed, and he saw a wild boar foraging for food in the distance. It's just that although this side is condescending, it is at least two hundred meters away from the wild boar. Although the range of the Linglong spear is more than this, at a distance of 200 meters, not only is the power less, but the accuracy is also much worse than within 100 meters. More than two hundred meters, if it weren't for Zhao Zhe's cultivation now, it would be a question whether he could tell if this was a wild boar.

After all, today's craftsmanship is not possible to be accurate to a certain extent. To be honest, Zhao Zhe is already very satisfied with being able to have an accurate head within 100 meters. Drink to your subordinates, tell them not to move, not to make a sound. The terrain behind is not so easy to walk. Zhao Zhesuo got off the horse, carried the Linglong gun, slowly climbed down the mountain road, and gradually marched towards the wild boar. The mood was vaguely nervous, but more excited.
