Chapter 102: We're Cultivating a Killing Machine
[Thanks; Kid's tip! 】
The efficiency of the workshops is significantly increasing, and the production of various weapons is in full swing as a result.
The steelmaking workshop finally had a new change, and after Zhou Huchen negotiated with Hou Yuanshan and Liu Wenjin, the kilns in the steelmaking workshop increased again. According to the agreement between Zhou Huchen and the two, a large number of blacksmiths who were only responsible for forging steel entered the steelmaking workshop.
This steelmaking method, similar to assembly line operation, quickly alleviated the problem of steel tightness, and at the same time, Liu Xing's first batch of new firearms debuted.
Accompanied by Zhou Huchen, Jian Chen began to walk around the barracks. When the group came to the vicinity of the school yard near the barracks, they heard a crowd shouting and neighing, and with the sound of firecrackers and the occasional explosion, the smell of gunpowder smoke wafted faintly.
When entering the various training grounds, Jian Chen was really shocked, for him, in fact, the army is a general concept, that is, the soldiers are strong and strong. Now, Jian Chen finally knew that Master Cai's statement to the Datong officials and soldiers was too simple, just very strong, and the description was far from detailed enough.
It was an army full of enthusiasm, and all the soldiers were unbelievably motivated. When you see this army, you will know what discipline is and what is teamwork. Columns and columns of soldiers sweated from one field to another, nothing perfunctory, nothing to distract them from training. Even when Zhou Huchen, the young marshal, arrived, the officer in charge of training only saluted from afar, and then continued his duties.
This is the army, and this is the necessary quality of a strong army. Coupled with sophisticated weapons and equipment, Jian Chen can imagine what it will be like when those peasant armies of Li Zicheng face this well-trained army with sufficient armor and food. Even the invincible Jiannu Iron Cavalry who is boasted of being invincible in the world, in the face of such an army, I am afraid that they will be crushed by their fighting spirit and groupwork. Zhou Yuji's victory over Jiannu's tens of thousands of servant troops with more than 1,000 cavalry was definitely not accidental, definitely not boasting, but an inevitability. As long as this army maintains its intact structure and has sufficient logistical support, I am afraid that no one can defeat it.
What a powerful Zhou Huchen!
Jian Chen completely understood whether a person's vision belonged to the rat eye or to the soaring eagle, it lies in the mastery of the situation and wisdom.
Zhou Huchen's recent rise to fame is an intentional act and definitely a manifestation of wisdom. He was able to solve the problem of the army's food and make himself unscathed, albeit by some insidious means. But this is wisdom, using the wisdom of brute violence to cover up, Zhou Huchen is very haode seized the loopholes of the current situation and strengthened himself. With wisdom and a powerful army, an eagle that is about to spread its wings is in front of Jian Chen.
"How's my army? What do you think? Zhou Huchen was full of smiles, and he turned his head to look at Jian Chen, who was full of imagination.
Jian Chen looked at the sweaty soldier in front of him in a daze, he didn't turn his head, but muttered back: "Very strongThis army is very strong, and the young marshal is also very strong!" ”
Zhou Huchen smiled: "Thank you, Mr. for the compliment!" It just so happens that there is something stronger to test today, how about Sir please come with me to take a look? Perhaps, the gentleman will think stronger when he sees it! ”
"Naturally, I listened to the young marshal's orders." Jian Chen needed to do his best to understand this army, and of course he would.
When Zhou Huchen took Jian Chen Shi Ran to the firecracker training ground, Chen Xing and many soldiers were gathered around to carefully observe the new firecracker in their hands. At the same time, they were also waiting for Zhou Huchen's arrival on the sidelines of the training ground.
Entering the training ground, Zhou Huchen turned his head to look at Jian Chen, and began to introduce to everyone: "This is Mr. Pu Ya, surnamed Jian Chen, the word is inactive, Mr. Pu Ya will be the first praise painting in our army in the future, everyone has come to see it." ”
This extraordinary cloth cloth turned out to be a newcomer and a first staff, this seems to be very important, and everyone stepped forward to greet each other.
After everyone's greetings were over, Zhou Huchen said with great interest: "Today is just right, let Mr. Pu Ya see the firing of our army's new firearms, everyone prepare!" ”
This was the time to test the first batch of new-style firecrackers made by Chen Xing, and a full thirty new-style flintlock firecrackers were prepared. The soldiers were ordered to start preparing, and the fire instructor at the training ground, Guo Ziqing of the hundred households, respectfully began to listen to Zhou Huchen's arrangement.
"Today's firecracker test serves two purposes, first; The power test of the firebolt at different distances. Second: firing frequency test. Please Guo Baihu prepare. ”
Guo Ziqing, who got the order, solemnly made a chest salute, and then turned around to make arrangements.
After arranging the test, Zhou Huchen turned around, and he began to introduce the test questions of the fire gun to Jian Chen with a smile: "The power test of the fire gun is actually to observe the shooting effect of the fire gun at different distances, which is very important for the fire gun. The requirement of the firecracker is to inflict damage on the enemy at the longest distance, so that our soldiers can deal with the enemy better and more calmly. The frequency of firing is also a top priority, as long as our firecrackers can fire the firecrackers in the shortest time, as long as the power is enough and the firing frequency is enough, we can use the projectile to shield the battlefield. In this way, we can achieve the greatest result with the least cost, and this is the power of the firecracker. ”
Zhou Huchen paused and suddenly changed the topic: "What is the essence of war?" The essence of war is actually a continuation of politics, and of course, we cannot control these political issues. As military generals, our job is to defend our country and defeat our enemies.
For the army, its essence is to deter the enemy so that he will not dare to invade us. But what if the enemy strikes? The essence of our army will be transformed into a question of killing people, and into the question of the efficiency of killing people, and this is the essence of the existence of the army! Therefore, the army is cultivating the killing efficiency of soldiers and cultivating killing machines.
Whoever cultivates kills better will be the winner, it's as simple as that! ”
Jian Chen was shocked by Zhou Huchen's explanation, and the autumn wind blew through his clothes, and Jian Chen felt that he was getting colder and colder.
Looking at Jian Chen, who was shocked and speechless, Zhou Huchen continued: "I also want to let Sir know that it is estimated that by the end of this year, we will have more than 5,000 guns and hundreds of new small artillery, and the release of another large artillery is also close at hand; We already have nearly 10,000 cavalry, and our soldiers will be equipped with brand new weapons, each soldier will have his own steel plate armor, his own iron helmet, and his own iron-clad shield
It will be a great wall of steel, an indestructible steel behemoth, and when it spreads its fangs, it will crush all enemies in front of it, whoever it may be!! ”
With the advent of the flintlock pistol, the bayonet and paper-shelled bullets were a non-negligible stroke in the development of shijie firearms. With Zhou Huchen's knowledge and cognition, he made and developed new flintlock pistols and artillery, and Zhou Huchen believed that these firearms were definitely cross-era, at least more than 200 years ahead of this era.
Although the smoothbore flintlock pistol was a great improvement over the arquebus, its rate of fire, range and accuracy were far from satisfactory to the soldiers. In fact, the essence of war is the pursuit of higher killing efficiency, and as long as war exists, the research on killing methods will never end. Until the nineteenth century, the rate of fire of muskets was always the first place over the accuracy of shooting, for the simple reason that the accuracy of fire was so poor that it could only be compensated for by the rate of fire, and this was still the case even at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
Now, Zhou Huchen is taking this path, and it is also the path of a professional soldier, and he wants to make this army a complete killing machine.
Seeing that the young face in front of him suddenly became a little distorted, even a little hideous, Jian Chen felt that he was as cold as entering an ice cave.
This is clearly a hero-level figure who is less than twenty years old, Jian Chen suddenly realized that he was powerless to succumb to the young man in front of him, whether it was mental or liliang, he was too powerful, and the strength made Jian Chen feel very powerless.
It is conceivable that when this young man flutters his wings and soars, the world will probably be a sea of corpses and blood, and it will be a different appearance, who can stop him?
A general who will become famous and his bones will wither, and the success of a world-famous general is made of countless blood and lives, and the ancients are really not wrong!
Jian Chen watched the young man's face in front of him gradually return to peace, and he suddenly reacted, isn't this exactly what he needs?
