"Xu Guohua, the former deputy commander of the spear battalion, was promoted to deputy commander of the Leopard Regiment."

"Li Zhong, the former deputy commander of the Musket Battalion, was promoted to the deputy commander of the Tiger Regiment."

"Zhang Xiaotian, the former deputy commander of the cavalry battalion, was promoted to the deputy commander of the cavalry regiment."

"Luo Xing, the former commander of the recruit battalion, was promoted to the deputy commander of the musket regiment."

"After each team of the musket battalion drew out an integrated musket platoon, it was expanded into a musket regiment as a whole. The former captain was promoted to battalion commander, the former platoon commander was promoted to captain, and the captain was promoted to battalion commander......"

Half an hour later, the overall expansion plan of the Haw Par New Army and the appointment of officers were completed by the military advisor.

Faced with the result of everyone's promotion, everyone had a heartfelt smile on their faces, especially those officers who had been promoted two or even three levels in a row.

After everyone's excitement slowly calmed down, Wei Zheng stood up from his seat again, and said in a stern tone: "Brothers, Dol Roll Mushroom Yu suffered a big loss ten days ago, and for ten consecutive days, he was attacked by us again and suffered again. After suffering two big losses in a row, I can say with certainty that Dolroll will definitely raise heavy troops to retaliate against us. ”

"And this time must not be too far away."

"Therefore, we must make our new army of tigers and leopards ready to fight in a short period of time."

"Strive to give your troops the ability to fight before Dolgon arrives again."

"Recruits, I have prepared for everyone, and I ask you that you must reach full strength within two days. Subsequently, intensive training of the troops began. ”

"Last one, so far, the number of our Haw Par Army's new muskets has reached 800, in order to ensure that the overall combat effectiveness of our Haw Par Army is not affected by the expansion of the army, the 800 muskets are given to the two musket battalions each for training, and the remaining muskets are all concentrated in the musket regiment."

Two days later, thousands of soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army slowly got on the right track and began to conduct formal training, Wang Tiezhong, who was in charge of the weapons workshop, suddenly came to Mushroom Yu from the back mountain, and with a face full of excitement, he ran all the way to Wei Zheng under the leadership of the guards.

Seeing Wei Zheng, he had already been a little impatient because of excitement and excitement Wang Tiezhong reported loudly.

"General, it's done, the self-generated musket you let us study in the weapons workshop has been completed."

"Self-generated musket ......" When he first heard these four words, Wei Zheng had not yet reacted. However, when a new musket that did not use an arquebus was handed to him by Wang Tiezhong, Wei Zhengmeng reacted.

Because, the musket in front of him is the self-hairing pistol of his dreams. A new type of musket that can be used in any weather without an arquebus, and has a faster shooting speed.

After taking the musket with excitement, Wei Zheng quickly began to fiddle.

After confirming that the musket in his hand was at least in appearance, it was almost the same as the rifle he had seen in the Historical Museum. Wei Zheng asked excitedly and interestedly.

"Lord Wang, I remember the last time you said that you wanted to build the first musket of this kind. Without half a year, it is simply impossible. And now, less than a month later, you've built it, is there any reason. ”

Wang Tiezhong nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes, General." ”

"The reason why our weapons workshop was able to create this musket in such a short period of time is to thank Battalion Commander Wang, who should be called Commander Wang if he doesn't stand."

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Wang Feng, what does it have to do with Wang Feng...... Let's talk about the specific reasons. ”

Wang Tiezhong replied with a hint of happiness: "General, although most of the muskets captured in the battle of Commander Wang's attack on the Tartars were scraps, after careful selection by the craftsmen of the armory workshop, a few short-barreled self-made fires were found among these scraps that were only equipped with generals above the rank of officer and army. ”

"It was only after we dismantled three self-generated fires in a row that we figured out the internal structure of the rifle you mentioned, General."

"In addition, Battalion Commander Wang sent dozens of old craftsmen with very good skills to the weapons workshop, so that the strength of the weapons workshop has more than doubled at once."

"In this way, with the joint efforts of all the craftsmen, it took us two whole days to create such a fully qualified self-generated musket, which is what the general called the rifle."

After Wei Zheng quickly flashed an expression of understanding on his face, he said to Wang Feng: "Captain Wang, have you seen it......?"

"As I said a few days ago, the results of this proactive operation are definitely not as simple as we seem. Now it seems that my words have really come true. The pistol in front of you is part of your success. ”

After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng ignored Wang Feng's excited expression and focused his attention on the pistol in his hand again. asked Wang Tiezhong, who was always covered with a smile on his face in front of him.

"Lord Wang, have you tested this sui pistol?"

"I've tested ......," Wang Tiezhong replied confidently.

"In terms of power, this rifle is no worse than an arquebus. In terms of rate of fire, because this pistol does not need to use arquebus, it is a three-tenths higher than that of ordinary arquebuses. In other words, when an ordinary arquebus fires three rounds of buckshot, the firecracker has already fired a fourth round of buckshot. ”

"What's more, because the arquebus doesn't require the use of a fire arquebus, it is completely unaffected by the weather, even on rainy days, and the pistol can be used as usual."

"Good ......" Hearing this, the smile on Wei Zheng's face became even stronger, and he couldn't help but applaud.

Subsequently, he asked Wang Tiezhong what he wanted to know most in his heart, which was also directly related to the combat effectiveness of the troops.

"Lord Wang, I want to know how many shots can be made in a day if such a good new musket is made by the weapons workshop with all its might to build this kind of fire-starting gun."

"Fifty rods, if all the blacksmiths in the weapons workshop are concentrated to build, the output of fifty rods can be guaranteed in one day."

Although the number did not exceed his expectations, Wei Zheng still had a satisfied smile on his face. He commanded loudly at Wang Tiezhong.

"In that case, Lord Wang, I order: From now on, the armory workshop will make every effort to build the firing pistol and the corresponding ammunition. All the fired guns were equipped with musket regiments, and they were reloaded one by one. As for the reloaded arquebuses, the two musket battalions of the Tiger and Panther regiments were temporarily equipped. After the future musket regiment is reloaded, all arquebuses will be eliminated step by step. Let our entire army be armed with this flintlock pistol. ”

"Yes, General...."Wang Tiezhong replied confidently.
