New books, urgently in need of collections and red tickets!

There is no gambling to lose.

Three hundred cavalry and six hundred Changping soldiers were Shi Dayong's bets.

In the days that followed, Shi Dayong took great pains to carry out large-scale military training. It is a pity that after several times of practice, his series of policies of training and strengthening the army have failed.

The first to fail was steelmaking.

After repeatedly inspecting the standard weapons of the Ming army, Shi Dayong came to a conclusion, that is, it was necessary to smelt tougher steel.

Weapons are made of steel to restrain the iron weapons of the Eight Banners.

How to create steel is a thorny problem that Shi Dayong needs to solve.

After combining his limited knowledge, he gathered his subordinates and began to make steel, drawing on the local methods of later generations.

The solution of soil steelmaking is operable and low-cost, and Shi Dayong can fully afford it.

The specific method is to burn bricks with highly cohesive clay, and then use these bricks to build a blast furnace, and then take charcoal and spread it on the bottom of the furnace, and then put all kinds of iron tools in the furnace, and burn them day and night with a furnace fire, so as to reduce the carbon content in the iron, and the last thing that comes out is steel.

The method and steps, Shi Dayong thought that there should be nothing wrong, but when the furnace was started, he was dumbfounded, and the original expectation and excitement disappeared in an instant, because what appeared in front of him was not steel, but a lump of black iron lumps, which looked like tofu dregs.

"My lord, can these steels make weapons?"

Faced with the doubts of his subordinates, Shi Dayong could only smile bitterly, regretting that he didn't learn chemistry well in middle school, otherwise how could he make steel. It doesn't matter how small the amount is, as long as the 900 people are armed in place, after all, these 300 cavalry and 600 Changping soldiers are their only capital. Only by building them can they have the opportunity to establish their lives and change history, on the contrary, he Shi Dayong will still be a small boat in the vast ocean, waiting for the arrival of the monstrous waves at any time.

Steel can't be smelted, but it doesn't matter, this road is not passable, and another way will be found.

………

The equipment of the Songshan Army is almost a standard weapon of the Ming army - firearms.

It is said that it is a fire gun, but in fact, it is more appropriate to call it a bird gun, the gun tube is extremely long, the loading is extremely cumbersome, and the killing effect is also very poor. This kind of weapon, which cannot be called a firearm at all, obviously gave Shi Dayong the idea of improvement.

Improving the firecracker is a very complex project, and it must have enough professional knowledge to do it, and if the people of the Arsenal in the previous life had crossed over here, then the improvement of the firecracker would definitely be a piece of cake. Helpless, Shi Dayong is just a gambler, although he also has a college diploma, but the school he studied at that time was the famous Pheasant University - just charge tuition, but teach the kind that everyone on the street will do, what can you learn?

However, the lack of professional knowledge is nothing to the ambitious Shi Dayong!

If there are difficulties, if there are no difficulties, you must also create difficulties!

In line with the lofty ambition of "wanting to compete with the heavenly princess", the day after the failure of steelmaking, Shi Dayong convened a cadre again, and at the same time called the only general Ma Zhong in the army who knew how to make firearms.

Ma Zhong also has an identity, he is a person from Jinyi Weinan Zhenfusi.

………

Unlike the Beizhen Fusi, who was in charge of the Imperial Prison, the Nanzhen Fusi was in charge of military discipline and guards, and also had the same task as the Beijing Ministry of Urban Industry, that is, the research and development and smelting of weapons.

Ma Zhong is a firearms craftsman in Nanzhen Fusi, "the change of Jisi", Nanzhili sent troops north to King Qin, and he also went north with the army as a craftsman. How do you think that the department and the Qing army have not yet contacted each other and dispersed, Ma Zhong and a few companions got lost with Shangguan, and ran to the camp of Ma Shilong, the general soldier of Shuntian, and was forcibly incorporated by Shi Dayong, the general Shi Dayong.

Everywhere they are all mixed food, being a craftsman in Nanzhen and being a soldier in the Northern Army are essentially the same, they are all working for others. However, being a soldier is obviously better than being a craftsman, at least much freer, and besides, I can't tolerate myself not agreeing, don't you see that the knife of the general Shi is always dangling in front of you?

In this way, Ma Zhong became Shi Dayong's subordinate, and Yongping didn't know if he drank too much wine or really had the idea of "serving the country with loyalty", and he was the first to climb the head of Yongping City. After the war, Shi Dayong was promoted to the general manager, and he became the general manager, and then followed Qiu Hejia to the customs outside.

In fact, Ma Zhong is very puzzled by the abnormal behavior of the garrison in the past few days, although he has only been under Shi Dayong for two years, but he knows a lot about this adult who does not know a single big character, and he knows that there is no goods in his head, and the ink in his stomach is not as much as himself. In addition to being bold and brute force, it can be said that there is no advantage of being an adult in his own family.

I don't know which of his tendons is wrong, but if you have the spare time, you might as well lead your brothers to the mountains to catch some birds and beasts to eat.

I want to think so, but I don't dare to show it, you must know that the Lord of the Ludao Garrison doesn't like others to talk nonsense about his actions, a few days ago, when Huang An, the general manager of Qian, persuaded him not to engage in any steelmaking, he was scolded by him without a head, saying that sharpening knives does not mistakenly chop firewood, and if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools or something, and you don't need to work in peacetime, and you will shed more blood in wartime.

He is a garrison lord, he has the final say in this Songshan Castle, what he says is what it is, anyway, there is no war left and right, so let's go crazy with the garrison lord.

With this thought, Ma Zhong was also a rare devotee, and accompanied the garrison as a bricklayer for a few days.

Originally, I thought that the Raush Zigang would not be able to practice, and the garrison would stop, but I didn't know that it was not a day later, and the generals were called to hold a meeting, and this time I heard that it was to engage in a new type of firecracker.

"This fire gun is not good, it needs to be changed, the gun tube must be thick, it must be short, and the medicine can't just be filled in randomly, it has to be quantitative, well, also, this fuse is too long, it is troublesome to light, if it is windy and rainy, won't it not be able to sound? How do you get that? Change, it must be changed immediately, it is better to change it to place flint, fire with flint, that's what it looks like... How? Can't get it? Hey, you guys of mushy heads, you didn't understand what the official said yesterday? … Come on, take a pen and paper, and the official will draw it for you. ”

Shi Dayong hated that iron could not become steel, and he was bent on eating to become a big fat man, regardless of whether his subordinates understood it or not, with a stroke of the pen, a plausible musket was baked.

After the painting was finished, he first looked at it carefully for a while, and after being sure that this was the musket he needed, he waved his hand triumphantly and asked his subordinates to come up and take a look.

The subordinates looked at the painting with a puzzled look on their faces, and he happily held his hands beside him, looking forward to a bright future with a large number of new muskets.

It didn't take long for him to hear the voice of Mr. Huang An: "My lord, what are you painting?" ”

With the lesson of last dissuasion, Huang An didn't dare to say what the garrison had drawn this time, but asked very tactfully first, listened to what the garrison said, and then gave a further reply.

Shi Dayong didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Gun!" ”

"Guns?"

The generals were all stunned: what kind of spear is this? Why don't you see the spearhead at the front end?

Realizing that the word "gun" was a bit ahead, Shi Dayong hurriedly coughed, looked at Ma Zhong, and asked: "Gun is the meaning of fire, how about it, can it be done?" ”

"Oh!"

The generals suddenly realized, and then one by one showed strange expressions. Ma Zhong's scalp was even more numb, and it felt really bad to be named by the garrison again.

After seeing this so-called new firearm for the first time, Ma Zhong subconsciously denied it, he couldn't create such a strange thing. But in order not to attack the garrison, and not to be a "bird at the beginning" to provoke the anger of the garrison, I had to say fearfully:

"The adult's idea is good, but I am thinking about it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to transform this new firearm according to the adult's requirements."

"For what?" Ma Zhong's answer made Shi Dayong's excitement fall to the bottom.

Seeing that the garrison's face was a little ugly, Ma Zhong was even more uneasy, so he could only stubbornly say: "The style of this fire gun drawn by the adult is extremely strange, and it has never been seen in the life of the humble position, and the mechanism is ingenious, and the power of the non-inferior duty can be built, I am afraid that except for the Ministry of Industry and the Nanzhen Fu Division, no one in our Ming Dynasty can build the gun that the adult wants." ”

"Ministry of Industry and Nanzhen Fusi?"

Shi Dayong's expression darkened again, and he sighed in his heart, if he can find the Ministry of Industry and Nanzhen Fusi, do you still need to find you, a half-hanger?

It's over, it's over, the steel can't be refined, and this fire gun can't be changed, so how can I "sharpen my weapon first"?

In the days that followed, nitrocellulose, grenades and other schemes were also rejected one after another, and as the last mine proved to be usable, but could not be mass-produced, Shi Dayong's weapons modernization took a great leap. The policy has failed.

This is an inevitable failure, a failure that transcends the times and blindly goes on the horse without regard to reality.

The knowledge of the traverser is certainly advanced, but the objective conditions of the times do not allow the development of the times, not to mention, a traverser who only knows the diagram is far inferior to a craftsman at the bottom.

The development of history has its inevitability, and anyone who vainly tries to change history must face up to the actual era in which he lives.

If the advanced knowledge of the time-traveler is software, then the era is hardware. Without the support of hardware, no matter how good the software is, it can only be a useless drawing.

The failure seriously hit Shi Dayong's pride and ambition, but he was not confused or discouraged, he was reflecting on his advanced behavior.

All roads lead to Beijing, but if this road is not passable, won't Beijing go?
