"Go for it!"

Jang Joon encouraged all craftsmen.

Hope is right in front of us, and maybe with a little more effort, we can achieve success.

Of course, the Tiger Ben, which can only be hit ten times, is not useless. At the very least, it is a very good choice to use as a sniper rifle. At a distance of 100 meters, it can shoot accurately, which is even better than the Lumi gun. If it appears on the battlefield, it has to scare the enemy. Moreover, after firing fifty times in a row, the Tiger Ben Gun did not explode, and the fighters were psychologically completely acceptable.

Therefore, after obtaining the test data, the craftsmen actively improved the production process, improved the quality of the barrel, and at the same time planned to produce a prototype gun and hand it over to the escort team for more extensive testing. The craftsman's workshop produced more than a dozen of them one after another, all of which were equipped with the escort team. According to Zhang Zhun's order, Yang Zixuan's musket team was specially responsible for testing the Tiger Ben, feeding back various problems in actual use to the craftsman's workshop, and then making improvements.

In order to solve the quality problem of the barrel as soon as possible, Zhang Zhun spent a lot of time personally supervising the work in the craftsman's workshop. He was at the barracks in the morning, supervising the soldiers to test the Tiger Ben Gun and obtain test data. In the afternoon, I usually spend time in the craftsman's workshop, discussing with everyone how to improve the quality of the tiger and solve a lot of details in the test. In the evening, I will go back to the barracks and sum up the day's work. The life of these two points and one line lasted for a long time.

In order to stimulate the active surnames of the craftsmen, Zhang Zhun also implemented a hierarchy among the craftsmen. The hierarchy of craftsmen is also divided into nine levels, which are also binary. Everyone builds the same part, uses the same technology, and the better the quality of the product, the higher the level of craftsmanship. The higher the rank of the craftsman, the higher the basic wage. For each level, the basic salary increases by five pieces of silver. For example, a first-class craftsman is only paid one tael of silver per month, a second-class craftsman has one tael or five cents, and a third-class craftsman has two taels of silver...... And so on, the highest-ranking ninth-class craftsman has a basic salary of five taels of silver per month. At the same time, the higher the level of the craftsman, the higher the share of the commission. All in all, it can definitely be regarded as a high salary.

After the assessment, Zhou Shiwen and Luo Dashan really had excellent skills, and finally became sixth-class craftsmen. In addition to the two of them, there are five fifth-class craftsmen, and their technical level makes Zhang Zhun more satisfied. As for others, there is room for further improvement.

At the same time, in order to allow craftsmen to produce high-quality tiger guns faster, it is also for the need for secrecy in the future. Brigadier Zhang divided the craftsmen into thirteen groups, each responsible for different processes. Each group has its own steward, and without Zhang Zhun's approval, the craftsmen cannot easily change groups.

The first group, the rifling group.

It is specially responsible for outlining rifling on cut shaped steel sheets.

The second group, the barrel group.

It is specially responsible for rolling the rifled steel sheet into the barrel.

The third group, the firing group.

Specialized in the development of flint firing device.

The fourth group, carpentry group.

Specializing in the production of matching butts, handguards, ramsticks and other wooden components.

The fifth group, the Shine Star Group.

Specialized in the production of supporting crosshairs and illuminators.

The sixth group, the assembly group.

The barrel, firing device, illuminator, crosshair, stock, and gauntlet are specially assembled.

The seventh group, the inspection group.

Specialized in inspecting produced firearms.

The eighth group, the bayonet group.

Bayonets for the production of tiger guns.

The ninth group, the art group.

On the tiger and ben that have passed the inspection, the number and pattern are depicted and decorated.

Tenth group, bullet group.

Specialized in the production of Mini bullets.

The eleventh group, the gunpowder group.

It is responsible for improving the purity of gunpowder, especially granular gunpowder.

Twelfth group, maintenance group.

It is responsible for the production and maintenance of tools for firearms, such as gun wiping strips, carrying gun straps, bullet leather bags, as well as butter, lubricating oil, etc.

Thirteenth group, feedback group.

It is specially responsible for collecting various problems that arise in the practical application of Tiger Ben and handing them over to the relevant teams for improvement.

"Each in his own way, each in his own right!"

This is Zhang Zhun's requirement for all craftsmen.

Thanks to the meticulous division of the process, each craftsman has a clear responsibility. If there is a problem, it will be traced to the relevant group, and then to each specific producer. Therefore, Zhang Zhun demanded that the producer of each component should leave his own special mark on the component so that it can be traced later.

In this way, all the craftsmen couldn't help but feel the heavy pressure on their shoulders. This kind of pressure has never been felt before. In the past, when they produced weapons, they only had to complete the required quantity, and as for the quality, no one cared. Now, Zhang Zhun's regulations are obviously more important than quantity.

However, at the same time as the great pressure, they also felt the great temptation. Because, Zhang Zhun has made it clear that for every production of a qualified quality tiger gun, the craftsman workshop will receive a commission of four taels of silver. In this way, to produce a tiger gun, each craftsman will receive a reward of almost two cents of silver (0.02 taels). If the craftsman's workshop is able to produce fifty tiger guns in a month, each craftsman will be rewarded with one or two pieces of silver.

In other words, as long as all the craftsmen work together to overcome technical problems and manufacture tiger guns that meet the quality requirements, they will never have to worry about their life in this life. The demand for tiger guns in the escort team must be increasing. Even, the life of these craftsmen can be better than plowing the land. As the technology continues to become proficient, their production efficiency will become higher and higher.

Stimulated by huge profits, the workers of the craftsman's workshop have been researching day and night, and have gone all out to improve every detail of the process. Zhang Zhun spent most of his time in the craftsman's workshop. Finally, after a period of more than ten days, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the number of accurate shots of the barrel of the Tiger Ben gun finally reached more than 50 times, which could meet the most basic needs.

After repeated tests, the maximum range of these Tiger Ben guns exceeded 400 meters. At a distance of 250 meters, the accuracy of shooting is very impressive. The rate of fire is also satisfactory, and it is basically able to shoot about 3 rounds in a minute of raw hands. Trained musketeers can reach about 5 rounds a minute. Excellent shooters, maybe even reach 6 shots a minute.

The appearance of the tiger is also quite beautiful. The dark red butt and handguard, the silver-white barrel, the silver-white bayonet, the silver-white bolt and the dark green strap reflect each other and shine brightly. When the first real tiger fell into Zhang Zhun's hands, a sharp weapon was in his hand, and the feeling I had in the world was spontaneous. In front of the tiger gun, what thunderbolts, ten-eyed guns, and bird guns, all of them are scum!

The bullets of the Tiger Ben are packaged in cardboard shells. The paper shell contains one bullet and 3 coins (about 10 grams) of propellant. Bite through the paper shell while fighting, pour the propellant into the powder pool, and close the powder pool. The conical bullet is then pushed into the chamber with a ram lever. to aim and shoot. Each Tiger Gun is equipped with fifty rounds of paper-shelled bullets, which will be replenished when they run out. All the bullets are packed in a leather bag. Of course, if the soldier feels that he has enough physical strength, he can carry more paper-shelled bullets.

Zhang Zhun immediately ordered the craftsman workshop to go all out to produce tiger guns, and then equip them all to the escort team. Yang Zixuan's musket team was naturally the first to equip the target. As for the original firearms, they were all rebuilt, including the Lu Mi Gong. However, at this time, another regrettable thing has appeared, that is, the lack of production capacity. Due to various reasons such as raw materials, manpower, tools, and technology, the artisan workshop can only produce a maximum of five tiger guns per day. If you want to increase your production capacity, unless you want to build a new workshop.

Fortunately, the reaction speed of the officers and men was indeed very slow. It has been more than 20 days since Zhang Zhun and his team took Fushan City, and Aoshanwei and Laizhou Mansion are still gathering troops intermittently. According to the information found by the mouse, Li Chengdong, the garrison of Laizhou, Sun Zhiqi, the prefect of Laizhou, and Zhao Yinying, the commander of Aoshanwei, met in Laizhou Mansion at the end of May to discuss how to deal with the rebellion in Fushan.

After the three discussed, Li Chengdong mobilized 300 soldiers and stationed in the Jimo battalion. Zhao Yinying also ordered his family to go to Jimo Camp to meet Li Chengdong, about 150 people. Combined, the total strength of the two is about four hundred and fifty men.

However, I don't know if they feel that Zhang Zhun and them are just making a small fuss in the Fushan Institute, which has not affected them, and they have no intention of intervening for the time being. The officers and soldiers stationed in the Jimo battalion did not immediately march towards Fushan City. Zhang Zhun deduced that the officers and soldiers might be waiting for more troops to come and assemble. Because the intelligence network is not developed enough, Zhang Zhun cannot deduce where the officers and soldiers will draw troops from and when they will launch an attack.

The only thing that is certain is that the officers and soldiers will definitely counterattack Fushan City, and the time should be in June. Moreover, the offensive strength of officers and men must be more than 450 people. As for how many people will be dispatched, it is not yet known. With the assembly of officers and soldiers, the atmosphere of the Fushan Institute began to become a little solemn. Most people can sense that the first test is coming.

Before you know it, it's the middle of June, and the weather is getting very hot. Every morning, the sun hangs in the air, scorching the earth to its heart's content. The sea breeze doesn't know when it started, it has disappeared without a trace. There was no wind, only the sun, and it was naturally extremely hot. The people who were working were all sweating and panting.

At the training ground in Fushan City, it was also sweating like rain. The fighters of the convoy are undergoing intense training. Tiger Ben, who was put into formal training for the first time, became the brightest star on the training ground. Beautiful appearance, excellent surname ability, and strong lethality make all the soldiers feel very envious. The resistance to the musket has all dissipated unconsciously.

Unfortunately, the craftsman's workshop could only produce five Tiger Guns per day, and it would take at least eighty days for the entire convoy to be fully equipped. Coupled with the time for maintenance, it will take at least three months for the escort team to be able to complete the tiger and the gun. Until then, you must continue to use spears and triangular thorns. In fact, even with the Tiger Ben Gun, Zhang Zhun also pays great attention to assassination training.

Courage and discipline are always indispensable, even when armed with powerful muskets.

Zhang Zhun was also on the training ground, leading the fighters in training. When it comes to the use of firearms, no one should be more proficient than him in this era. Generally, Zhang Zhun personally demonstrates, explains the essentials of aiming, and then leads everyone to train. The main content of Yang Zixuan's team's current training is three-stage shooting, which is already at a considerable level.

On the 10th day of the first month of June, Zhang Zhun was at the training ground, teaching the soldiers the skills of aiming. He takes a half-squat position. Suddenly, someone arrived and reported to Zhang Zhun: "My lord, Miss Yang asked you to go back, saying that a guest is coming." ”

Zhang Zhun stood up and asked casually, "What guest?" ”

The other party said that he didn't know, but Yang Yinghan didn't say.

Zhang Zhun couldn't help frowning.

Guest?

What guests?

Since it was Yang Yinghan who sent someone to find him, not Liu Hang and others, he must have been a private guest.

Who is this guest?
