Zhang Li frowned, now that Kong Youde has surrendered to Jiannu, the Ming army's firearms advantage is not as great as before.

Fortunately, even with Kong Youde's elite firearms battalion, Jiannu was only a few arquebuses at most, and his own self-generated firearms, that is, flintlock pistols, were still an era ahead of their opponents.

In terms of rate of fire, the rate of fire of the flintlock pistol is two to three times that of the arquebus, which is already a very obvious advantage on the battlefield.

In addition, the Tuanshan Army uses improved "mighty gunpowder", which can be regarded as a leading place-

However, whether it is a flintlock pistol or a "mighty gunpowder", the enemy can get these things from Westerners if they want to.

has no core competitiveness!

"Yuan Liang, you ordered to go down, and the Tuanshan Army will hold a military parade ceremony in three days to boost the morale of the army!"

Zhang Li's faint words immediately made Gao Yuanliang excited.

Reviewing the three armies, there are already ancient ......

"The last general obeys!"

Just as Gao Yuanliang was about to retire, Zhang Zhang spoke again: "You go and inform Song Experience, saying that the official has something important to look for him!" ”

Gao Yuanliang nodded, and promised: "Yes-"

After Gao Yuanliang went down, tension began to ponder.

Just now, I thought of the foundation of the survival of the Tuanshan Army in the troubled times, generally speaking, there are two aspects.

The first is the fighting quality of the soldiers, which can be achieved through hard training, and the training of the Tuanshan Army is now close to that of the modern army - although it is not yet at the level of the modern army, it is almost equal to the level of the modern European army in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

The second is the degree of leadership in weapons, which at present is mainly flintlock pistols, "self-generated firearms" and "mighty gunpowder". Neither of these is a "golden finger", it's just that the enemy doesn't pay attention to it.

Traveled through as a doctor. There is also one of the biggest advantages of his regimental mountain army, which is battlefield first aid. At present, the size of the military medical team of the Tuanshan Army has more than 200 people. The primary first aid knowledge has also been mastered, but it has not yet been tested in actual combat, but there is no way to do it. You can't deliberately injure the soldiers to test the professional ability of the military medical team, right?

Judging from the trajectory of history, it should not be long before a large-scale war breaks out......

When Zhang Zhang was secretly calculating, Song Yingxing's voice came from outside.

"Xiaguan see Lord Zhang-"

As soon as Zhang Zhang looked up, he saw Song Yingxing standing respectfully outside the door, and there were two guards behind him.

Zhang Li smiled slightly. He said to the two guards, "Go down......

The guards promised: "Yes! ”

Zhang Zhang stood up from the chair and said to Song Yingxing: "Song Experience, please come in." ”

Song Yingxing was a little flattered, and cautiously walked into the room, and began to ponder in his heart.

Through the ears and eyes in Tuanshan Fort these days, I have already seen that this is Lord Zhang's "private place" - after all, I am also from a human background, and I feel a little inappropriate, but I don't want to think about it.

In the troubled times, it is very rare to have such a good official who loves the people as Lord Zhang is willing to think about the people. What's the point of a little "change of rules"?

Zhang Zhang looked at Song Yingxing, who was a little distracted, and vaguely guessed some of his thoughts in his heart, so he pointed to the chair next to him and said with a smile: "Song Experience, please take a seat." ”

"Ahh took his thoughts back and bowed: "The lower officials don't dare." ”

Zhang Zhang bowed his head slightly and said, "It's okay." Song Experience Sit Down! ”

In terms of grade, Zhang Li and Song Yingxing are both seventh. But one is the county magistrate, and the other is the "middle", "discipline" and "committee" inspection team. Everyone knows the difference.

Song Yingxing sat on the chair next to Zhang Li, glanced at Zhang Li, and said in a low voice: "Lord Zhang, you called the lower officials to come, I don't know what happened?" ”

Zhang Zhang was originally going to talk about the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal, but just now he changed his mind and decided to talk about another thing first.

Zhang Zhang took a sip of tea slowly, and said meaningfully to Song Yingxing: "I don't know what Song's experience thinks of my Tuanshan Castle?" ”

Song Yingxing was stunned and blurted out: "Opinion? What's the view? ”

Song Yingxing pondered for a moment and said, "Well, according to the subordinate officials, the civil affairs of Tuanshan Fort are the so-called benevolent government of Sage Kong!" ”

"Renzheng?" Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, and he didn't reject this statement, after all, it was unlikely that a scholar like Song Yingxing would say anything else.

Zhang Zhang was noncommittal, but went straight to the point: "I don't know if Song Experience can study Mr. Yangming's theory?" ”

Song Yingxing exclaimed: "Mr. Hou Yangming? ”

Zhang Zhang nodded, after Wang Yangming's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of "Xinjian Marquis" by Emperor Longqing, nicknamed "Wencheng", and also awarded iron coupons.

Of course, this iron coupon is not a Danshu iron coupon that can avoid death, but a symbol of honor.

Emperor Longqing said Wang Yangming in the coupon text: "Two righteous people, a generation of great men, with the talent to set things right, to show the strategy of saving the world and the people, the merit is not rewarded, I am very compassionate!" Reaffirm the oath because of the remembrance of the virtuous. ”

The emperor's comment uses the word "oath", which means that Wang Yangming is regarded as a "sage" who can sit on an equal footing with the emperor - the only example of this comment in the 270th year of the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Zhang retracted his thoughts, and said with a straight face: "It's Xinjian Hou." ”

Song Yingxing nodded and said loudly, "Sage." ”

Zhang Zhang looked at Song Yingxing, and suddenly smiled: "This official is the successor of Mr. Yang Ming's heart - all the affairs that this official practiced in Tuanshan Fort are nothing more than the unity of knowledge and action!" ”

"Unity of knowledge and action?" Song Yingxing was a little stunned and looked at Zhang Li incredulously.

After a long time, Song Yingxing suddenly stood up from his seat and bowed to Zhang Li: "It turns out that Master Zhang is a disciple of a sage, and the lower official is rude!" ”

Zhang Zhang bowed his head slightly, and said loudly: "There is no need to be polite about the Song experience. ”

After revealing this hand, Zhang Li knew that the rest of the conversation would be easier to handle. After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and these things I did in Tuanshan Fort are really a bit "deviant".

However, Wang Yangming's descendants are generally more "mysterious", and they can't be easily seen from their appearance. Using Wang Yangming's doctrine to fool these scholars and doctors can indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Wang Yangming's "Psychology Theory", the explanation can be endless-no matter how Young Master Ben explains it, it makes sense......

Zhang Li flickered with Song Yingxing for a while for a while, and the explanation of "the unity of knowledge and action" in "Zhang's Psychology" was stunned to say that it was a combination of theory and practice, and what kind of industrial development was carried out - Song Yingxing was initially brainwashed, and finally cleverly pulled the topic to the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal.

Zhang Li said to Song Yingxing, who was still a little worried about his brain: "Song Experience, you reported on the production of self-generated firearms in the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal earlier. After recruiting workers in recent months, the production capacity has increased several times, right? ”

After all, Song Yingxing is not as good at "psychology" and "brain" as he is about "mind" and "brain", and when he hears that Zhang talks about the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal, this is his old job, he suddenly became interested.

Song Yingxing said with a solemn face: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Zhang, now my regimental mountain fort arsenal can produce five hundred qualified self-generated firearms every month!" Well, in fact, the output can reach 800 pieces! However, according to Master Zhang's requirements, the qualified standard is to fire ten shots in a row before it needs to be cooled, which is very demanding for the gun pipe, and a considerable number of them must be eliminated......"

Zhang Zhang nodded, self-generated fire is the foundation of the Tuanshan Army's life, and the quality must not be sloppy.

Zhang Li has thought about the problem of defective products for a long time, after all, the fire gun has been made into a finished product, and it is not cost-effective to return to the furnace to make scrap steel......

Zhang Li thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he had already made a decision!

Zhang Zhang said to Song Yingxing lightly: "Song experience, those defective products in the self-generated fire guns must also be registered and properly kept, and this official will be of great use in the future!" ”

Song Yingxing was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Zhang with a puzzled expression: "Master Zhang, those firecrackers are in danger of exploding!" ”

Zhang Li laughed, glanced at Song Yingxing meaningfully, and said lightly: "In the troubled times, what is the most profitable business?" Hmm-you don't need to worry about this Song experience, you just have to do what the official says and keep it well. In the future, there will be defective products in the production line of rifled guns. ”

Now that Zhang Zhang had already given the order, Song Yingxing naturally didn't have much to say. He suddenly heard Zhang Li say something about "rifled gun", and immediately became interested: "Lord Zhang, what kind of rifled gun are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Li had previously thought that if firearms were to be truly ahead of the times, it would definitely not be flintlock guns, but rifled guns.

Because the flintlock pistol has already existed in this era, but it is not mass-produced.

Rifled guns are different! However, it is not that there are no rifled guns now, because the Danes are already equipped with rifled guns, but they have encountered a huge unsolvable problem, resulting in rifled guns that are not as good as smoothbore guns at the moment.

Reload your ammo!

Before the invention of rifled guns, the guns of the Ming Dynasty and even Europe belonged to smoothbore guns, with a round inner wall of the barrel and no inconvenient loading.

However, after the invention of rifled guns, the loading of ammunition became a huge problem - due to the protrusion of rifling in the barrel, which made it inconvenient to load the bullets, the musketeers could only carry a mallet with them, and when loading, they could only carry a mallet to achieve the purpose of loading lead pellets by striking the push lever.

This cumbersome reloading process made the rifled muskets extremely low in rate of fire and firing efficiency.

Historically, the real solution to this problem was the nineteenth-century mini bullet - that is, the rifled gun plus the mini bullet was the weapon that was truly ahead of its time!

Mini bullet is a conical warhead with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the breech, there is a conical hole at the bottom of the warhead, a wooden plug blocks the bottom of the hole, and the gas compresses the wooden plug into the cavity when fired, forcing the bottom of the bullet to expand, close to the rifling, close the gap between the bullet and the chamber, so that the gas can not leak out, and can make the warhead rotate at high speed under rifling pressure.

These tensions are still relatively clear, and at present, with the scientific and technological capabilities of Tuanshan Fort, they can be completely realized.

As for the rear-loading gun, that is the insurmountable technological gap, because the rear-loading gun needs to use thunder mercury - this thunder mercury is a product of modern chemistry, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve it at present. (To be continued.) )
