Chapter 303 Ordnance

Huwei Mountain has been on its own for more than two years, and since Liu Qian has mastered most of the power on the mountain, he has not listened to the government much. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The above for Qian Tongzhi and others to establish a stronghold on the mountain was nothing more than to leave an extra way back for themselves, but later they found that they were lifting stones to shoot themselves in the foot, and they were less and less binding on the cottage.

Qian Ming's forbearance strengthened Liu Qian's arrogance, and the original soldiers completely became thieves who did all kinds of evil.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and Li Jiajun broke the will of the bandits with a cannonball. They fled to their deaths, and only a few hundred people under Chu Fei remained.

The master of Chu is willing to return to his old business and become a soldier of the Ming Dynasty again. He took his family and soldiers to Guyuan City.

Li Ling led more than 1,000 soldiers to clean up the battlefield and returned to Lanzhou City, but the bandits had been operating on Huwei Mountain for many years, and Li Ling did not intend to give up this foundation.

After Linglong escaped from the mountains, she had been locking herself in Li Ling's study, and she remembered the books she had seen in Li's mother's room.

These books were rich in content, and he felt that it would be a pity not to transcribe the contents of them.

Li Ling also saw the books transcribed by Linglong, although the part about medicine in it was more clever than this era, but it was only in the category of traditional Chinese medicine, as for those about poison and cup, it was all nonsense.

But these are all relics of my mother, and it's good to be able to sort them out!

Li Yanyu also often comes to the study, and when he finds that he can't put down these books, he often comes over to read them, and sometimes discusses them with Linglong.

Both cherished the books.

"Big young master, you gave half of the artillery, shells and other items to Guyuan, now we are in short supply of these materials, if you want to use them to deal with the big soldiers, I'm afraid that it will be too much to do, do you want us to transfer some more from Jiangnan?" Li Ba suggested to Li Ling.

When Hachi and the others came from Jiangnan, some artillery was still placed there.

The artillery was dismantled from the warship, the pirates were all cleaned up, and the route from Ningbo to Dongying was full of Ming sailors, and the merchant ships no longer needed artillery.

Only then did Li Ling order them to be dismantled, and the warships were leased to the common people for overseas trade.

"No, if you go to Jiangnan to transfer cannons now, it's too troublesome to go back and forth, and besides, they also need some deterrent power over there!"

Li Ling leveled the sea with artillery, and many people saw the power of firearms.

Along the route were mostly soldiers from the local guard posts and some militia groups that had not been disbanded.

In order to ensure its own strength and continue to expand its power in the maritime frontier, it is necessary for people to start imitating cannons.

The villagers in the fishing village are almost targeted by all the forces, and they divide up the human resources there, and even then they can only make some cannons. Some of them are not usable at all, and they are not even as good as the small guns of the Franc machine.

And the only giant cannon that can play a huge role is in the hands of Li Ling, which is actually a deterrent.

It is precisely by virtue of this deterrent that Dachang Qianzhuang can walk on the sea unscrupulously.

Li Ling wouldn't have moved those artillery.

"The usefulness of artillery in the northwest battlefield is not very great, the idea of mobilizing from the south of the Yangtze River is still forgotten, but we can also build some more, we can in the southern coast, now I am the prefect of Lanzhou, and I have the war resources of a place, and it is easier to build artillery!"

Li Ling was very confident, in fact, he had already told Xiaoba to find some clever blacksmiths and carpenters in the local area, and now these people had come to the northwest with them.

"How did I forget these things, don't worry, young master, these people are all children of their hometown, and they can rest assured in terms of loyalty. In addition, they don't have families, and they all have some old craftsmen and skilled young men, who should be able to help us! ”。

When it comes to these craftsmen, Xiao Ba is a little moved, as soon as the order of the eldest young master is spread in the local area, many people will come to sign up, they are willing to follow Li Ling anywhere, not only the young people have this idea, but the old craftsmen also have this idea.

As long as they can follow Li Ling, they are willing to go to no matter how difficult it is.

After a lot of selection, Xiaoba and others found dozens of craftsmen.

"Choose a hidden place in the city and place these craftsmen in it, not only artillery, but also long-gauge weapons such as bows and arrows, just practice your hands, and let Ma Qiang go over to guide these craftsmen first, after all, he has built cannons!"

Now Li Ling can know about cannons and ordinary rope-fired muskets, and as for anything more advanced, he has no choice.

Even in later generations, Li Ling had little contact with the knowledge of guns and ammunition, and only had a general impression.

What he wanted to do most was grenades and mines, but he could only think about them, he really didn't know what was inside the grenade, and he didn't know anything about the trigger mechanism.

But there was one thing he could experiment.

This kind of thing is the explosive pack, its manufacturing method is not very technical, and once the explosive bag is ignited, it is not small.

Li Ling called Ma Qiang over and told him his intentions, hoping that he could have a good solution to the problem of how to ignite the explosive package.

"My lord, I don't understand what you said about how you can ignite the explosives pack without using flames, but we can add a lead to it, and although it is a little troublesome to use this method, the advantage is that it will not go off!" Ma Qiang only thought of such a solution to the ignition problem.

In fact, the method of using a large number of explosives to explode in an instant to kill the enemy has long been used, but they have not thought of such a light method, and the power of the explosive explosion is not large, and the ability to create explosive packs to know the enemy can only be used in imagination.

Only by using Li Ling's improved explosives can it become a possibility.

"Make it as soon as possible, and then test it, as long as it is perfected before it can be used in war, otherwise it may also hurt its own people."

"I know it, and I will do it!"

Ma Qiang promised Li Ling that he would definitely make the explosives package smoothly.

It turned out that it was all ready-made, and Ma Qiang made the explosives by himself, made the bag, made the lead, and made the explosives package step by step.

"It's really great, let's go test together, and try to find someone to make this war weapon for me!" Li Ling said with some excitement.

The two took a few soldiers outside the city.

The soldiers lit the fuses as instructed.

The long lead got closer and closer to the explosive pack, but they waited a long time but it didn't explode.

"I'll go see what the hell is going on?". Li Ling couldn't help it, he wanted to take a look at the front.

"It's too dangerous. Go or I'll go! ”。 Ma Qiang volunteered to say that he didn't want Li Ling to have an accident.

"Boom!". While the two were arguing with each other, the explosive pack exploded.

Li Ling knew that this was a problem with the fuse.

It leaks out of the air, and there is a natural danger of being exposed to weather such as wind and rain.

"My lord, why don't we just use thin bamboo as a fuse, and if we put the finished fuse in the long bamboo, it won't be affected!" Ma Qiang was a little excited, he had to try it a few more times.

The courtyard where the craftsmen live is naturally very guarded, and the local people are not allowed to enter it casually.

Wang Chan also followed Li Ling to Lanzhou, and the two of them bought a house in Lanzhou City to live in.

Xiaobai missed Li Ling, so he wanted to go and see the other party, but this kid was intercepted by the doorman as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard: "I'm sorry, you can't go in!" ”。

"Isn't Governor Li's Mansion in the words? I just met him, please let me know! ”。

"I'm sorry, no one can enter this courtyard, you better wait outside!".

The doorman refused without hesitation.

"If you don't see it, you don't see it!" The little guy muttered in the air and went back to his sister.

After Xiaobai returned home, he often felt that someone was watching the two of them behind him.

Wang Chanku let out a small sigh, and after looking at Li Ling, he began to doubt them!

In desperation, she took her younger brother away from home.
