Chapter 85 Development of the Military Industry

Leave the car to protect the handsome!

I don't know if Zhu Chongba can play chess, he understands this truth, and if he abandons Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng, he will be able to avoid Hao Shisan's thunderous counterattack.

He intended to accept it, but he saw Xu Da and Tang He on the side signaling him again and again to ask him not to agree.

After losing the battle, he sent his subordinates and their families to Hao Shisan, and after that, who else would be willing to die for him?

Don't give? Hao Shisan brought people over, and he was facing not only Hao Shisan's Qingfeng army, but also Liu Futong's army, Zhu Chongba was probably unable to resist it.

Xu Da came out of the class and said: "The general manager is only the temporary leader of the Chuzhou army, and the rebels in Chuzhou are also because Guo Dashuai is not in the army. ”

Zhu Chongba suddenly realized under Xu Da's reminder. Guo Zixing, an eyesore old man, can't wait to move away early, but at this time, it seems so important. The sky fell, and there was a tall one on top of it.

"Now that Guo Dashuai has not returned to the succession ceremony of the sect leader, Chongba does not dare to make his own assertions for such a major event, and he also asks Mr. Bingming Hao Dudu to raid Luzhou, which is really not done by Chongba, but by the rebels." Zhu Chongba smiled with a smile on his face, and said:

"The handling of Geng Zaicheng and Hu Dahai's families in Chuzhou can only be decided when Guo Dashuai comes back, and I ask Mr. to go back first."

It's okay for Shi Nai'an to play the actor, but now Zhu Chongba has brought out his father-in-law's trick, but he has no choice.

He picked up the last bowl of wine on the table, drank it all, and said loudly: "Since Manager Zhu said so, I will wait for the handsome to come back and visit!" The old student has a word, and he also asked General Manager Zhu to guard the gate tightly, don't go out of the rebels again, and have to work hard to drive Hao Dudu and bring troops to Chuzhou to assist in defense! ”

Shi Nai'an said, ignored it anymore, walked out of the military tent, and went straight back to Luzhou.

Zhu Chong stomped his feet angrily and scolded: "Hao Thirteen, Hao Peel, will you give a drinking abstinence order?" Decree - In order to save food, the whole army should abstain from alcohol, and anyone who violates discipline and drinks alcohol will be beheaded, regardless of dignity or inferiority! Beheading! Beheading! Zhu Chongba roared loudly.

Xu Dagui persuaded: "Hao Shisan's important backup is nothing more than Liu Futong, as long as we give Liu Futong some more gold silk beauties, as long as Liu Futong does not send troops, measure him Hao Shisan, and he has no ability to eat our Chuzhou army, as long as we are more vigilant!" ”

When Zhu Chongba heard Xu Da's persuasion, he was quite relieved, and sent someone to Yingzhou to send Liu Futong a lot of gold and silk beauties, needless to say.

Hao Shisan listened to Shi Nai'an's report, Zhu Chongba is such a prevarication, there is no time to pay attention to Zhu Chongba now, nor is it time to provoke disputes within the Red Turban Army, there are too many things now, far more important than settling Zhu Chongba.

Even if Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng are not used by me for the time being, you Zhu Chongba don't want to use them, if you catch these two people, even if it is a stone, you can slowly cover the heat.

"Lord Taishou, this time I went to Chuzhou to make a contribution, which is a credit, and humiliating Monk Nazhu in vain is very relieving!" Hao Shisan praised Shi Nai'an.

Shi Nai'an said ashamedly: "Xia Guan failed to be ordered to come back Geng Zaicheng and Hu Dahai's family, I am really ashamed, and I wasted an opportunity to drink in vain!" ”

"Don't worry, Lord Taishou, I'll give you the number of times Pontus drinks once!" Hao Shisan comforted Shi Nai'an, and said to Luo Ben, Yu Dechen, and others who joined the army behind him: "But I wrote it down with the governor of Pontus, if the governor of Bendu drinks more than twice this month, I will beat you two." ”

Yu Dechen and Robben looked at each other and said yes again and again, but the governor wanted to drink, and the two of them joined the army, how could they stop it.

Hao 13 should complete the personnel arrangement, leave the Chinese army and the rear army in Luzhou together, strengthen the defense of Luzhou, and only bring the guards of the Governor's Mansion and the army of Yiying, and return to Shouzhou.

For the personnel situation in Shouzhou, I made some scheduling, referred to the model of Luzhou's rectification, and drew a scoop according to the gourd, so I plunged into the craftsman workshop in Shouzhou, and soaked with Jiao Yu and other craftsmen all day long, as if they forgot that they had a home.

Nowadays, the purification of black medicine is not fine, it contains too many impurities, and the formula is mostly used in the Song Dynasty.

The gunpowder of the Song Dynasty was divided into three types: gunpowder, fire-tribulus terrestris and poison smoke, with different uses and different proportions, and the power was far less powerful than the black fire/medicine of later generations.

After countless experiments and proportions, plant ash and shochu were added in the process of proposing, and after countless tests, high-purity nitrate, sulfur and charcoal were finally refined.

According to the ratio of one to two to three in later generations, the paste is synthesized with shochu, dried and then finely ground into powder, and finally the fire/medicine made is put on the paper and ignited, and the medicine is burned, and the paper is not damaged, and the burning speed is fast enough, so the gunpowder is qualified.

To make high-purity gun powder, as for the black medicine used in the pear flower gun, the process is much simpler, nothing more than adding other impurities to improve the distance, time and temperature of spraying.

After half a month of round-the-clock research, it was officially launched far beyond the black fire/medicine of this era.

Regarding the casting of the three-pounder gun, it was completely poured by hand, and when casting, the cannon was narrower than the actual one, and then the inner wall was polished purely by hand to a suitable caliber, which was very time-consuming.

Regarding the problem of the cannon bombardment, the temperature was well controlled when casting, and three copper hoops were added to the breech of the gun, and the weight was not increased much, and the stability was greatly improved.

The weight of a cannon is dozens of catties, round and rumbling, and it is quite difficult to move. By adding two iron wheels to each cannon, which could be pulled by manpower and mules and horses, the problem of the artillery's poor mobility was also solved.

Hao Shisan knew that the protective ability of heavy armor was indeed high, but it was too heavy, and the infantry armor of the Southern Song Dynasty weighed thirty-five kilograms, which was very inconvenient for the movement speed of the infantry.

The big leaf armor asked for from Liu Futong, although it had a little rudimentary form of heavy armor in the European Middle Ages, but it was denied by Jiao Yu.

"Dudu, only this piece of nail leaf is made, and the craftsman who has completed it can't be built in half a month!" Jiao Yu said while holding a piece of large-leaf armor.

Nowadays, the armor of Middle-earth is also a continuation of the famous Tang Thirteen armor in the lobby, some armor has been eliminated, and the style has changed, but the manufacturing process has not changed.

The iron armor of the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties is all made of small iron pieces, which are made in series, a good pair of armor, with as many as thousands of armor leaves, and the current iron-smelting process and forging technology cannot realize the creation process of the whole body plate armor.

Blast furnace steelmaking, hydraulic forging!

Hao Shisan has indeed heard these two words, but in practice, it is not something that can be completed overnight.

The waterwheel was used for irrigation in ancient times, and it can be converted into power by linking it with bearings, which seems to be easy to achieve, but the blast furnace steelmaking is really difficult to get.
