It's late for the update, send seven thousand big chapters to compensate, sorry, sorry!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yang Bo was a little surprised, he originally thought that Huanglong was a mediocre general soldier, the only desirable thing is loyalty, Kong and Geng were in turmoil when the Huanglong family happened to be in Dengzhou, and was held by the rebels, and the rebels used Huanglong's old mother and young son to recruit Huanglong, Huanglong "worshiped the hairpin and did not obey", it can be regarded as loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect to lead the troops to have a hand.

Thinking of this, Yang Bo asked about the details of the battle, it turned out that after the 22nd, Kong Youde carried out the last massacre and looting of Dengzhou, and began to break through the siege, hundreds of thousands of people in Dengzhou were slaughtered by Kong Youde to the point of bleeding, the dead and wounded are not counted, "killing and robbing the silver stain, prepared and cruel", and then was plundered again by the Ming army that entered the city, among which the Sichuan soldiers were the most ferocious, and finally, the imperial court recovered a "decadent and cracked, full of depression" Dengzhou, so far, Dengzhou people still have the tradition of worshiping their ancestors on February 25 every year, I don't know if it's related to this catastrophe.

After the break, Mao Chenglu and other knots of the old camp and the Dragon King Hall, echoing with Kong Youde of the twin islands, Yang Bo guessed that it was not wrong, Kong Youde did plan to throw Tartar from Lushun, but was blocked by the Huanglong army, Huanglong sent his troops Li Weiluan, Shang Kexi and other troops to fight the Dragon King Hall, defeated Mao Chenglu, set fire to the old camp, Kong Youde was in a fierce battle with Huanglong, suddenly saw the old camp fire, and saw the floating corpse floating down the sea, Kong Youde and others were shocked, knowing that Mao Chenglu's troops were defeated, so the soldiers had no fighting spirit, fled in a hurry, and Huanglong and others were captured......

Twenty-three said that the defeat of Kong Youde in Sanshan Island.

Twenty-four said that the defeat of Kong Youde in Guanglu Island.

On the 29th, Kong Youde was defeated on Huanggu Island, captured more than 40 people, including Chen Guangfu and Qigu staff officers, captured more than 1,000 thieves, especially women, and captured more than 40 thief ships.

In the thirtieth day, Huanglong chased to Zhangzi Island at the mouth of the Yalu River, but the Dongjiang East Route Army refused to accept it, and Kong Youde and others fled again.

On the 10th day of the first month of April, Huanglong defeated Kong Youde in Zhuoshan, captured 36 officials such as the capital division, and the morale of Kong Youde's troops was low, and the color changed when he heard the officers and soldiers

Forty-three said that the defeat of Kong Youde in Qiantuo, North Korea sent troops and the Ming army to attack Kong Youde, and the land and water advanced, both roads were successful. Geng Zhongming begged to surrender, but Huanglong did not allow it, and Kong Geng fled from the northwest.

Kong Youde had already sent people to cross the sea to Gaizhou overnight in Shuangdao, and asked for surrender with Gaizhou Shi Guozhu, and the letter said: "This commander has tens of thousands of armor soldiers, more than 100 light boats, cannons, and firearms. With this weapon, and the Ming Khan work together, land and water go hand in hand, the momentum is like a bamboo, who in the world dares to be the enemy of Khan? ”

Shi Guozhu didn't dare to call the shots, so he sent someone to report to Huang Taiji urgently. Huang Taiji was overjoyed, and agreed with Kong Youde that Zhenjiang would respond, and ordered Belezirharang, Azig, Dudu and others to lead troops to respond. North Korea sent troops to attack Kong Youde's department at the mouth of the Yalu River, but he didn't expect that Zierharang and others had already led troops to the riverbank, and the Ming and Korean coalition forces were demoralized, and they didn't dare to persecute them, and they watched Kong Youde surrender to Tartar.

On April 17, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming landed in Liaodong from Zhenjiang Fort and arrived at Jiulian City.

In June, Kong and Geng arrived in Shenyang, and Huang Taiji went out ten miles to the suburbs to greet them, but when Yang Bo saw this news, it was already July, and the rebellion that lasted eighteen months was put down.

The only pity is that the Dongjiang River is split, and Huanglong's prestige is insufficient, and it is difficult to convince the public, otherwise Kong Youde will not be able to escape at all. Kong Youde brought not only more than 100 ships, but also Sun Yuanhua's life's work, Huang Taiji got not only the red-coated cannon, but also the more advanced firearms technology, and got the ammunition manufacturing technology and aiming knowledge and equipment directly taught by the military adviser of the Fu Lang machine, since then the balance of power between the Ming and the Houjin has quietly changed, for the Guanning army, it is no longer safe to retreat in the city, and for the islands of the Dongjiang River, the sea is no longer a moat to protect them. (After Kong Youde took Dengzhou, he obtained more than 10 Hongyi cannons and more than 300 "general" level artillery, and the rest of the firearms were innumerable, and because he had been taught by the military adviser of the Franco, he fired "quasi-set" and had very strong lethality.) The power of the Hongyi cannons used by the rebels was particularly staggering, each weighing two or three thousand catties, "each piece of iron weighed six catties, and when it was touched, the battlements were overturned, and the defenders had nowhere to stand")

Dengzhou was relieved, Lushun was safe and sound, and Yang Bo's original plan to take the chestnut from the fire was useless, so he could only focus on internal affairs.

On March 26, Yang Bo quietly returned to the stone mortar and presided over the spring ploughing ceremony.

As the saying goes: Spring ploughing is unwilling to be busy, and the face is hungry and yellow after autumn, especially for the military households in Santun who have divided the fields. The salt protection team and the artisan household battalion have stopped their usual training and production, and have devoted themselves to the busyness of spring ploughing.

The day before the beginning of spring, Xiao Mochou has set up an archway outside the fort, early the next morning, the gongs and drums of the three tuns of the stone mortar are noisy, blowing and blowing, carrying Yang Bo and the big spring cattle tied with paper, all kinds of farm tools and so on all over Santun, the military households along the way, add firecrackers continuously, the smoke is swirling, these military households throw the rice, miscellaneous grains and so on on behalf of the five grains to the big spring cattle, take the meaning of the new year's bumper harvest, the troupe is not far behind, set up points along the way in Santun, and perform some festive repertoire.

Finally, Yang Bo and Dachun Niu were carried under the plaque after the parade, Yang Bo presided over the incense and sacrificed to the sky, Yang Bo took the officials of Santun and the size of the three dogs and worships, read the prayer of the god of heaven and earth, and then Yang Bo personally held the plow, followed behind the Dachun Niu, signaled to start farming, saw Yang Bo in a hurry, the cheers of the onlookers and military households, the laughter of the children was endless, Yang Bo presided over the spring ceremony, and finally burned the Dachun cattle, the grand spring ploughing ceremony was over.

On the 28th, outside the newly completed private port, two cargo ships loaded with tea, raw silk, medicinal herbs and porcelain set sail and headed for the Wa Kingdom, Yang Bo did not want to stimulate Zheng Yiguan's nerves, so he did not send more fleets on this trip, but only sent two armed ships to escort in the name of Dengzhou Haiphong Road, each of which was equipped with nearly 20 small cannons of the Franc machine, ten mortar guns, and two platoons of firefighters on board, the firepower was fierce, more than enough to deal with ordinary pirates, the only drawback was that the speed was average, and there was no enough strength to confront Zheng Yiguan's fleetThis situation of small-scale maritime trade will continue for a long time.

Chen Bilian really wanted to go to the Wa Kingdom to open her eyes, but Yang Bo thought of the danger of sea navigation, and resolutely refused, Chen Bilian and Yang Bo newlywed Yan'er, it was the honey oil blending, and the affection could not be separated, and she was reluctant to endure the pain of lovesickness after half a year of separation, so she let her father-in-law go. Chen Bilian's father was originally a subordinate of the great pirate Liu Xianglao, who died in a naval battle during a battle for territory, and Chen Bilian's mother and eldest sister, before dying, she asked a subordinate who had been friends for many years to take care of Chen Bilian, which is her current father-in-law Gao Hongzhong, although Gao Hongzhong's legs and feet are inconvenient, but for many years to gather at sea, it is still very easy to command a few ships, the Yao family sent three rooms and two account rooms who are familiar with the sea trade, and Xiao Yulan on the Maojiatun side also sent Da Niu and Erya, as well as Anton Wei's golden shopkeeper as representatives, If the trip goes well, it will be possible to turn around in two or three months.

After a few days, Yang Bo suddenly received an urgent report from He Jiu, Bi Fangji and Tang Ruowang and his party had arrived in Dengzhou, preparing to recruit a group of displaced people in Dengzhou and return to Maojiatun, He Jiu did not dare to slack off, personally escorted, Yang Bo was overjoyed when he heard this, calculated the time It has been more than ten days after receiving the letter, presumably Bi Fangji and others are already on the way, Yang Bo decided to stay in Maojiatun for some more time, and then go to Jimo after Bi Fangji returns.

Thinking of the flintlock pistol that he was most concerned about, Yang Bo summoned Chen Craftsman to inquire about the progress of research and development.

Chen Jianghu's face was flushed, and he didn't dare to deceive Yang Bo, "Please also ask the adults to forgive their sins, but the little ones are still at a loss"

Yang Bo was displeased when he heard this, but it was impossible for a person who had never thought of this kind of device to imagine it out of thin air, even if he only had a vague impression, he couldn't blame Chen Jianghu for not being careful, thinking of this, Yang Bo took the pen and drew on the paper for a long time, but he still couldn't understand the essentials, so he could only give up.

Chen Jianghu's son invented a small mold, which is a piece of anvil iron, on which a semicircular hole is dug out, the radius is the same as the outer diameter of the pipe, so that the red-hot iron plate can be directly placed on the mold after inserting the iron core, and the final error of the gun tube can be controlled within a certain range.

Although it was just an inconspicuous gadget and did not simplify many processes, Yang Bo was still very happy and rewarded him with ten taels of silver in front of all the craftsmen in the craftsman camp.

Yang Bo was about to leave after inspecting the artisan camp, but he accidentally saw several large baskets in the corner of the drilling class, which were full of dusty pipes, some of which had been eroded by water vapor and the surface had begun to rust.

"My lord, these are all drilled down, some of them are scrapped products with sand holes and cavities after inspection, and they can still be used when they are returned to the furnace" Chen Jianghu saw that Yang Bo's face was not good, and quickly explained.

Yang Bo nodded, thought about it and said: "You sawed off all those flaws, the length is about forty or fifty centimeters, I want to use it to make a batch of short guns, and I will handle it like this in the future."

"Shorts?" Chen Jianghu was a little surprised, Yang Bo kept telling him to find a way to increase the range of the firebolt, and now he sawed the gun pipe to only forty or fifty centimeters, and the short gun made was used for the children in the tun to catch birds?

"If the tube is too short, the range is enough? But do you want to thicken this pipe? Chen Jianghu still asked more.

"I've got a way"

Yang Bo simply pulled over a stool full of iron filings left by drilling, sat down, and picked up a pipe: "Craftsman Chen, look, I want to engrave rifling on the inner wall of this short gun!" ”

"Rifling?" Chen Jianghu was confused: "What is rifling called?" ”

"The rifling is two concave Yin lines" Yang Bo drew a circular section of the tube on the paper, and then drew a cut on the inner wall.

"What do you mean?" Chen Jianghu felt that Yang Bo was crazy, and he tried his best to polish it smooth, and now carved two lines on the inner wall, is this enough to eat?

"In order to fight farther" Yang Bo nodded, he didn't know how to engrave the spiral rifling, but he still knew the rifling.

Chen Jianghu touched his beard and muttered for a long time, but he didn't think so: "My lord, don't talk about this chamber, the rifling line is difficult to engrave, how can you solve the problem of air leakage in the pipe?" ”

"This is simple, don't use round buckshot, use cylindrical buckshot" Yang Bo drew a bullet pattern similar to later generations on the picture, the difference is that the tail of this round buckshot has a protrusion on both sides.

Seeing Chen Jianghu's inexplicable look, Yang Bo didn't know how to explain, so he simply broke off a piece of lead with pliers, beat it with a wooden hammer for a while, and finally made a rough pattern for him.

"Craftsman Chen, please see, the tail of this lead bullet is hollow, and the protrusions on both sides just stuck two riflings, so that when the lead bullet is heated and expanded, the hollow tail fills the barrel, and the protrusions on both sides block the rifling gap, where will there be air leakage?" Yang Bo was very satisfied with his hands-on ability and was proud.

"Does this increase the range?" Chen Jianghu still didn't understand what Yang Bo meant.

"That's right, Chen Jianghu, please think about it, this cylindrical lead bullet has a rifling line, and the disembowel is more stable, plus the cylindrical bullet body, the resistance is smaller, and it will naturally hit farther......" Yang Bo held a gun in one hand and a lead bullet in the other hand for demonstration.

"How many steps do you expect this short gun to take?" Chen Jianghu asked

"Hundred steps!" Yang Bo is very simple

"Hundred steps?" Chen Jianghu was startled, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Wouldn't you know if you made a sample first?" Yang Bo actually didn't have much confidence in his heart.

"My lord, there are two problems, not to mention that this rifling is time-consuming and labor-intensive, if the flight of the lead bullet is blocked after the rifling is blocked by gunpowder, it is very easy to cause the explosion of the chamber, and in addition, how can this cylindrical lead bullet be made in large quantities?" Chen Jianghu retorted

"Simple"

Yang Bo has long considered these difficulties: "Because the barrel of the short gun is shorter, the cleaning is very simple, if the rifling is not easy to engrave, you can make a gun bed instead of manual carving, as for the lead bullet, I have designed a mold, when the time comes directly to the soldiers or baggage team, they go to melt the lead block themselves, but the accuracy of your gun tube and mold must be well controlled, and the lead bullet made by each mold must be universal" Yang Bo carefully advised.

"Okay, let's take a few scrapped guns and try them first, my lord, if it's this chamber, the rifling is really easy to use, do these arquebuses also have to be engraved?" Chen Jianghu asked

"No rush for the time being"

Yang Bo shook his head, since the capture of more than fifty horses, the idea of forming a dragoon battalion lingered in his mind, the initial idea of establishing a dragoon battalion was to use the intelligence collection in the night not to collect the squad, to harass, surprise attack, cut off the enemy's food route, infantry after the defeat of the cover-up, etc., but Mao Jiatun now only has a horse and a sentry horse, which belongs to the training and management of the He Jiu intelligence department's night non-collection squad, most of their weapons are bows and crossbows, the three-eyed gun was abandoned by the night non-collection team because of its clumsiness, He Jiu They have been using the three-eyed gun as a hammer to smash people, Later, when he met a Tatar soldier who was much stronger than He Jiu and them, he was afraid that few people in the night team would come back alive, and it would take at least five years to train a qualified archer.

After giving priority to solving the short gun firing device, as long as the short gun can hit 100 steps, or 80 steps, or even 60 steps, the power of the dragoon battalion will come out, so that the night patrol team encounters a similar number of Tartar sentry horses, and can definitely shoot before the Tartar opens the bow and arrows, and then covers the kill, if the firepower output is not enough, Yang Bo has another solution in his heart, that is, three guns plus a revolver similar to the revolver setting, but this is just an idea, how to solve the problem of the explosion and explosion of the gunpowder chamber of the short gun, For the time being, I haven't thought of a solution, and the arquebus is now only considering improving it into a rifling gun, and we will consider it when the rifling technology is mature.

Chen Craftsman took a few nephews, holding a few pipes and hurried away, now Chen Craftsman has rarely managed the things of the craftsman camp, only the craftsmen of the craftsman camp will come to see if they encounter problems that cannot be solved, he is responsible for the tasks ordered by Yang Bo, and the craftsman camp was handed over to his son, although Yang Bo does not like such family management, but most of the craftsmen in this era are only willing to teach their relatives, Chen Jianghu's son smelting, forging technology is also the top in the craftsman camp, For the time being, Yang Bo did not have enough interests to impress them, and he selflessly taught others skills.

Seeing that it was still early, Yang Bo decided to go to the school field to see the regular training of the salt protection team, he thought about the flintlock device while walking, the original arquebus because of the burning rope, each musketeer should be separated at least half an elbow distance to avoid being burned, and after removing the fiery rope and transforming it into a flintlock pistol, the interval can be smaller, so that a platoon of columns can row more musketeers, the coverage of lead bullets is greater, and the threat to the enemy is greater. Of course, the benefits of the flintlock pistol are far more than that, because there is a semi-sealed powder pool, and the activation rate is much higher than that of the arquebus in windy weather, so there is no good way to do it on a rainy day, but if the brim of the soldier's hat is widened, so that the activation rate can be maintained at 50% on a rainy day, huh? This is to let Mo Chou prepare in advance......

Yang Bo thought crankily all the way, and came to the school field surrounded by several personal guards, the school field was much more deserted than usual, only a few teams of firecrackers were training, and the others were still planting rice in the field.

There were bursts of gunfire in the school yard, Yang Bo knew that it was the firecrackers who were training with live ammunition, and when he got closer, Yang Bo was startled!

There are two long railroad tracks laid in the open space on one side of the school grounds! Didn't you come for a few days, could it be that the craftsman camp actually developed a steam train?

Seeing Yang Bo coming, Li Dali, the deputy commander of the arquebus battalion, Cui Yong, the instructor, and Zhang Shixiong, the military discipline officer, hurriedly ordered the training to be suspended and ran over to meet Yang Bo.

"Good training"

Yang Bo praised with joy, he had seen clearly, it turned out that the arquebus battalion used a wooden frame to build a horse's shelf, and there was a wooden man holding a knife on it, carved into the shape of a money rat's tail, and the lower part of the horse was two grooves made of iron sheet, which happened to be stuck on the rails, and there were two people on each side holding a long rope, and after pulling, the target slowly moved towards the fire gunners, which was a moving target.

"This was thought up by a guy named Yao Lin in our company, and I asked the help of the craftsman battalion to make it," Li Dali said happily when he saw Yang Bo's appreciation.

"Report to my lord, this Yao Lin is a native of Dengzhou, and arrived with the first batch of displaced people, because he trained hard, and was selected by Lord Li Zhizhan to enter the arquebus camp at that time. Ping said that there was no training for the surname, so he figured out such an activity goal, and reported it to me at the time, as soon as I heard that it was feasible, I vigorously discussed it with the deputy battalion commander, but I didn't expect it to be very supportive, so I asked Master Li to let the craftsman battalion do it, and the effect was very good in the actual combat training...... "The instructor is worthy of some culture from a private school, and he is articulate and explains things clearly."

"Good, good!"

Yang Bo couldn't close his mouth happily: "Don't brag first, now hit me with live ammunition!" ”

"Good!"

Li Dali was not stage frightened, ran to the edge of the team, and waved the command flag in his hand: "Pull this tartar back for me, the first row of arquebuses squats, the second row is half-bent, and the third row stands, start checking the weapons, and start counting them!" ”

The next herald began to count loudly, and when the count reached ten, all three platoons of musketeers had loaded their lead bullets and assumed a posture of aiming.

"Tartar go!"

The instructor shouted, and the four rope-pullers began to walk forward, and the tartar target began to move slowly towards the firecrackers.

Li vigorously held the order flag in his hand high: "First row, prepare!" Put! ”

After about two seconds, a burst of smoke suddenly rose from the school yard, and more than a dozen gun barrels in the first row opened fire at the same time.

"The first row retreats, the second row prepares!"

Hearing the order, the first row neatly retreated back and squatted down, began to reload neatly, and the second row began to aim.

"Second discharge!"

Bang!

There was another puff of smoke rising from the school grounds.

"The second row is back, the third row is ready!"

In this way, by the time the third row was finished, the first row was already aiming and waiting, and the third row had retreated thirty paces away.

"Good, good! Pull that Tartar over and see how you guys are doing."

Yang Bo was extremely excited, who said that these homeless military households have no creative imagination?

Several people hurriedly stepped forward and retreated the moving target, Yang Bo took a closer look, because it was wooden, there were sawdust flying in many places, and there were a lot of flattened lead embedded on it.

"Let the artisan battalion put the outer bread on the iron sheet, so that it is more durable, and dig out the lead after each row of beating, so that you can know how the training performance is, and use it as a basis for assessment, and erect a few wooden planks on both sides of this target to prevent the lead from flying around, and gather the beaten lead and recycle it"

Yang Bo was full of interest, and while adding to everyone, the vigorous forces around him couldn't help but nod.

"This Tartar is still pulling slowly, you must know that after the Tartar cavalry runs, it is much faster," Yang Bo pointed out the shortcomings of the training.

"I've just started training, and I'll add a few more people to pull the rope in the future," Li Dali hurriedly added

When Yang Bo heard this, he didn't say much, after all, there are so many steps to be done in the arquebus, and two rounds per minute is already the limit.

"That Yao, how did Yao Lin ask for credit?" Yang Bo asked

Zhang Shixiong, the military discipline officer on one side, replied: "Remember a great merit once and be promoted to platoon commander"

"Hmm"

Yang Bo thought for a while and said, "In recognition of his creativity, how about you promote him to company commander?" Should we encourage other soldiers to think more about how to improve their combat skills? ”

Unexpectedly, the military discipline officer shook his head and denied Yang Bo's proposal: "My lord, the sudden promotion is not in line with military regulations, although Yao Lin is meritorious, it does not mean that he is suitable to be a company commander, and the small one thinks that he should start training from the platoon commander......"

Yang Bo nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Shixiong's shoulder: "That's right, I was abrupt"

Unexpectedly, an even more incredible scene happened, and the military discipline officer replied coldly with a dark face: "My lord, in front of the soldiers, please pay attention to the etiquette of the superiors and subordinates, what kind of system is it to pat and beat?" ”

Yang Bo stretched out his hand in the air and forgot to retract it, with an embarrassed face, Li Dali sat at Yang Bo with a grimace, full of helplessness.

The instructor saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Shixiong! How do you talk to adults? Don't be surprised, Shixiong has always been strict, and since he became a military discipline officer, he only knows military discipline, and he doesn't know other people's sophistication."

That Zhang Shixiong stiffened his neck and said loudly: "As the chief officer, the lord must take the lead in abiding by military discipline, otherwise how can the soldiers below obey?" ”

Yang Bo was furious, staring at Zhang Shixiong's eyes and muttering, Zhang Shixiong was also glaring at him, Yang Bo suddenly smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's really me who is wrong, I'll pay attention next time, well, call Yao Lin over, I want to see him"

Seeing that Yang Bo admitted his mistake and was sincere, the military discipline officer nodded and shouted, "Yao Lin is out of the ranks!" ”

A man at the head of the second row ran out with the butt of his gun, stood in front of Yang Bo, and held the gun over his right shoulder

"Your name is Yao Lin?" Yang Bowen said

"Yao Lin, platoon commander of the third platoon of the second company of the arquebus battalion, reports, please instruct!" That Yao Lin replied loudly, these details dispelled the suspicions in Yang Bo's heart, this Zhang Shixiong is not the kind of villain who fights for the position to invite merit, these soldiers usually maintain military discipline very well, all actions are meticulous, it can be seen from the side that Zhang Shixiong is indeed a rigid and strict person.

"My lord, behind this Zhang Shixiong, others call him Zhang Yanluo, the most rigid and ruthless, don't go to your heart, don't go to your heart, those soldiers in Pingyu are a little weak when they see him, but the military discipline of our battalion is the best." The instructor saw that Yang Bo seemed to be displeased, and found an opportunity to secretly report to Yang Bo in private.

Back at the official office, Yang Bo still couldn't help but feel good, and today he inspected the training, but he found a few talents, which made him happier than an activity target.

Seeing that Yang Bo was in a good mood, Chen Bilian couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?" Which yellow flower girl do you fall in love with? So happy? ”

Yang Bo laughed: "Yes, I am lucky, I am lucky, I will see three of them when I go out." ”

"Three?" Chen Bilian was furious

"Three men" Yang Bo didn't dare to go on anymore......
