Eight thousand troops? Hearing this number, Zheng Kezhang couldn't help but think about it, but he didn't have a preliminary plan, so he found that Chen Yonghua's face was not very good, he was stunned, could it be that the other party felt that there was something wrong with this labor that came out of thin air?

But before Zheng Kezhang could open his mouth to ask, Chen Yonghua pointed out the key to the problem: "Shisun, these more than 8,000 troops are just surrendering to force, and many of them are Tartar diehards, since there is no way to distinguish, then there must be force to supervise it, but so Dongning has nothing to lose, the most lacking is the army, if there is a change, it is a mistake in Kyushu!" ”

"Mr. Chen's words seem to be bragging, what is not lacking in Dongning? It is not just that there are not enough soldiers. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)"

Zheng Kezhang laughed, and then fell into thought, Chen Yonghua was right, Dongning currently only has three battalions of Luan Yiwei, four towns of the Yongwei Army, the remnants of the eleven towns that were disabled on the mainland and the veterans who returned from injuries to form scattered flood soldiers, and a small number of troops such as the Boy Scout Battalion and Kunlun Biao, which are considered to be his descendants, and the total strength is only more than 9,000 troops.

Among the more than 9,000 troops, 1,200 pro-army Luan Yiwei guards, as the defenders of Anping City, could not be dispatched at will; The total number of Xun soldiers is only more than 100 and more than 2,000 people, and they are mainly distributed in the north and south roads, which are used to maintain the law and order of the newly built Tunzhuang colony and play a role in deterring the local communities, and it is impossible to transfer them lightly; Although the Yongwei Army was the strongest, it had to undertake the garrison of Dongning's one prefecture and two prefectures, so only about 1,000 people in one of the towns could be mobilized as a mobile force, and they had to be prepared to cooperate with the rebellion of Pingpu in the two roads caused by colonization suppressed by the Xun soldiers anytime and anywhere; As for Kunlun Biao and the Boy Scouts, one of them did not understand the language, their bodies had just recovered, their training had not yet been carried out, and the other was only composed of seventeen or eighteen-year-old young soldiers, which were not so reassuring.

"Mr. Chen, after thinking about it, you can send all the military attaches above the general level and the seriously injured in the army to various places for reclamation, and the local brand armor will take care of them on the spot, so that the number will be reduced by a part, let's count it as seven thousand, among them, the real captives and the meng captives have been sent to the mine for hard labor, with the skills of those mine chiefs, they can't think of any storms." However, the total number of Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers in Haicheng was only 3,000, and the number of hungry and faint prisoners was only five or six hundred, so the majority was still there. "The Brave Guard Army sent a joint army from each town to guard the surrendered army separately." According to Zheng Kezang's meaning, there is not much difference between using 1,000 people to defend one government and two prefectures and 800 people, but in this way, more than 800 mobile troops can be squeezed out. "As for the event that something happens, the boy camp will be on top first, and if it can't stand it, then the last town warrior guard will be transferred." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang narrowed his eyes. "Mr. Chen, if things are unlucky, we have to suffer for a while, and when the slave soldiers are trained, we can rest easy."

Chen Yonghua listened to Zheng Kezang's arrangement, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded: "I have to do this first."

Now for Taiwan, as long as the source of cast iron is solved, there is no big problem in making cannons, but Zheng Kezang's requirements for the firing frequency and shooting effect of the Boy Scout Battalion A Battalion Gun Team have put the problem of fire on the table.

"The bird gun is too long and thin, and the charge is small, although it is far away, it is weak. Although it is more powerful, it is especially heavy and more troublesome to workmanship. The craftsman from the military department chattered. As for the firecrackers made by the Ingguili people, although they do not use fireropes, they are not stable in fire, and two or three of the ten guns do not sound."

"Yu knows what you said," Zheng Kezhang cut off the other party's words. "Let me ask you, what is the most difficult thing about making this firecracker?"

"If you go back to the prison country," the craftsman reported without thinking. "Drilling a gun tube is the hardest." Originally, in order to avoid blowing up the bore, when making zuò, it was usually rolled into two iron pipes, one large and one small, with large and small, so that the two were tightly attached, and then drilled into a smooth and straight pipe with a steel drill, the drilling process was very precise, and if the drill was not good, it would be scrapped, so each person could only drill about one inch per day. "It takes about ten months to drill into one."

"In other words, as long as the problem of the gun pipe is solved, the flintlock flint of the Inguili people can also be imitated?" Zheng Kezang's question was answered in the affirmative, so the order was officially issued. "You try to make a gun for Yu, the opening of the gun pipe is seven minutes (about 23mm), and the length of the gun is four feet and five inches of the gun, but the fire door and fire are all in the style of the Yinggui Li Sui firecracker, Yu gives you a month and a half, can you do it?"

The craftsman nodded hesitantly, and then said, "Prison Country, in this way, this fire gun will be too heavy. ”

"I know." The effect of using a little weight to smash the double cotton armor is clearer than the craftsman's calculation. "You just have to say yes and no." The second-ranked boss spoke, how dare he, a careful craftsman, say no, of course he can deliver on time. "Go ahead, if it's early, you will have a reward." The craftsman retreated obediently, and Zheng Kezang's gaze moved to Du Dushi's head on the side. "Master Du, this matter is going to trouble you again."

Du Dushi had been listening to it for a long time, and now that Zheng Kezhang had named him, he rubbed his hands and made an extremely embarrassed look: "Shisun, it is feasible for the iron fan to cast the cannon, but the gun pipe is so small, I am afraid that it cannot be made by the water injection method, if it is to be cast into a solid one, then it must be re-drilled?" Your Majesty really doesn't have the ability. ”

"This time I really have to find a way to drill holes," Speaking of hands-on Zheng Kezhang does not have this ability, but when it comes to moving his mouth, he has enough things in his memory to take out and show off, and I saw him draw a figure casually. "Master Du understands, manpower is poor, but this water is gushing, people can only drill an inch a day, and the hydraulic drilling machine may be able to drill half a foot or a foot." Du Dushi woke up like a dream, but before he could make a gesture to praise, Zheng Kezhang said again. "However, even if you have a drilling machine, there is no guarantee that the drilling process will not deviate, so this matter will be left to you, and if you drill ten pipes, three more will go wrong." Du Du just wanted to complain, Zheng Kezhang waved his hand. "Aren't you going to coordinate with the craftsmen of the military department?"

Du Dushi's eyes lit up, and he said busily: "The minister understands, please rest assured that the minister will arrange it properly." ”

"It's not enough to have a drilling machine," Mr. Zheng added. "Create a French style, have you ever seen it?"

Compiled in the Northern Song Dynasty Shenzong Xining period (note: AD 1068-1077), written in the third year of Zhezong Yuanfu (AD 1100), published in the second year of Huizong Chongning (AD 1103) "Construction of the French Style" is Li Jie's in the two Zhejiang craftsmen Yu Hao's "Wood Classic" on the basis of the compilation of the Northern Song Dynasty official architectural design, construction of the standard book, is the most complete building technology book in ancient China, for such a famous work, as the Ministry of Industry official Du Du Shi is naturally read.

"Then how to polish the object, Master Du still remembers, right?"

"Shisun refers to the spin work?" Du Du Shi immediately responded. "Shouldn't you still do a spinning work for the outer pipe of the firebolt?"

"Of course not," Zheng chuckled. "It's a spin for the inner wall." The inner chamber should be smooth and clean, which is a common requirement for making guns and firearms, but now that the iron fan and the center cooling method are used, the inner diameter does not need to be polished after the cannon is completed, so that Du Du forgot for a while that the gun tube also needs to be polished. "Just replace the grinding head of the mill with a fine iron boring cutter, and you can make someone try it later." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang suddenly remembered something. "By the way, boring may expand the diameter of the gun, so you should leave room when drilling, as for the proportion, you can just explore it yourself, and only need the result."

Du Du was busy responding, to be honest, today he learned a hand again, of course, optics is not good, and he has to show his skills in front of Zheng Kezang, otherwise he can only do it from the sixth grade in this life: "Shisun, the artillery carriage ordered last time is done, is it not a look today?" ”

"Oh," Zheng Kezang was overjoyed, and the French deserter nagged him a lot for the transportation of artillery. "Drag it over." The gun carriage and gun carriage are the general term for the various parts of the gun supporting the gun body, which can ensure the stability of the gun when firing, but at this stage, the main function of the gun carriage is to provide a means of transportation for the gun. "Let Yu take a closer look."

It is not only the two-wheeled gun carriage that has been erected on it, but what makes Zheng Kezhang love it more is the style of the gun carriage, which is completely in accordance with the Westernization and slimming gun carriage is no longer thick and stout, a simple classical Chinese style, and the screw rod set on the gun tail provides an unprecedented adjustable firing boundary, as for the long gun car tail, it can be hung on a suitable means of transport and hauled, and can be supported on the ground as a plow.

"The total weight of the gun truck is four hundred and eight pounds, all of which are made of good iron wood, and the key parts are reinforced with iron hoops and iron parts, and they have been tried, and they can completely withstand the explosive force of the two-inch gun when firing without falling apart." Du Du did his work. "After using the wooden screw, you can move up and down within fourteen fingers, and then count the weight of the two-inch cannon itself, the total weight is eight hundred and thirty pounds and a half, if you add the front car that is being prepared, a total of four Dian horses or two northern horses are needed to pull."

Horse! Zheng Kezhang nodded, and shook his head again, this question is also strict, the reason why Zheng Jun can't beat the northern soldiers, a lot of Cheng is because of the lack of it, although Zheng Kezhang has placed orders for the British to buy European famous horses twice, but so far it has only been shipped to a male and a female, which can be described as a slow emergency!

But this little setback did not make Zheng Kezang's mood worse, he pointed to Du Dushi's shoulder: "Although my father has appointed a new engineer, I think this Lord Li Jingli will not give a little more face, so congratulations to Lord Du The complement on his chest seems to be able to be replaced, and as for other meritorious ones, Lord Du can also list an insurance policy." ”

Du Du was overjoyed, didn't he do it for this purpose: "The minister thanked the grandson for his cultivation, and the minister was willing to smear the liver and brain of the prison country." ”

"You don't need to paint the liver and brain, as for cultivation?" Zheng Kezang's face suddenly became stern. "If you do a good job, you will naturally not be treated badly, but if the things that hinder the lifeblood of the domain, such as drilling machines, boring machines, and gun carriages, are known to irrelevant people, do you understand the consequences?"

Du Dushi bowed down deeply: "The ministers dare not have the life of the grandson!" ”
