In the second half of 1347 A.D., one of the activities in the realm began to revolve around war readiness. The number of immigrants was much lower than in previous years, and a large number of ships had brought people to Taiwan, such as the Gao Territory, followed by a large number of cargo ships from the Huangzhou Territory that were loaded with industrially produced production tools and supplies. Now that the situation has come, the three territories are now transporting raw materials in large quantities, and the migrant ship that originally hit people has become a cargo ship. Not only that, but the major territories began to expand their armies, divided into muskets, and the militia reserves began to train in full force. At the main base in Huangzhou, the expansion of artillery and the earth-shattering live-fire training have raised the war atmosphere in the territory to the extreme.

Now the county seat in the territory of Huangzhou has basically been hollowed out by the industrial production mode founded by Cheng Pan, and several county officials are basically the mouthpiece between the upper head of the Yuan Dynasty and Cheng Pan. Of course, the abnormal reaction in the territory of Huangzhou couldn't hide from them, and these county officials came to visit Cheng Pan one after another, wanting to know what Cheng Pan was going to do? After a few waits, they still ran into Cheng Pan. Chen County, who had dealt with Cheng Pan for the longest time, knew that Cheng Pan was a straightforward character and asked straight to the point: "General Cheng, recently, the soldiers in Your Excellency's territory have been practicing day and night, but the general wants to raise troops?" Cheng Pan swept away these people, except for Chen Xianling, no one else was Han, Cheng Pan had never included these people in the scope of trust over the years, and replied directly: "Is it necessary for me to tell you?" Turning around and leaving these bureaucrats looking at each other, Chen Xianling and others had imagined that they might not have expected Cheng Pan's attitude of complete ignorance, and they considered that Cheng Pan would pass the buck, or directly admit that they were under house arrest. But I didn't expect Cheng Pan to treat Xiaomin with this attitude at all.

Shucheng County Commander Sa Rihe said: "This person is vulgar, even if he raises troops to resist the imperial court, he will be like a yellow turban thief and will be annihilated" When Tu County Commander looked at Sa Rihe and said: "Ashes are gone? Although I joined you the latest, I don't see that this Cheng Pan's army is like a peasant army, and you learn from those scholars to scold him for being a single husband, and I don't see it that way in this year. Several county magistrates looked at the county magistrate of Dangtu, and the county magistrate of Hanshan County said: "What do you mean by this? When the county magistrate of Tu County said: "The county officials in this world are all to seize the local clans Tong Guò these land snakes to collect taxes and sign conscription, we all see that this Mr. Cheng does not know what the hatred of the big clans in the world seems to have to raise a butcher's knife against the local squires every time he goes, so the scholars in Jiangnan have a view of him as a brutal man, he does not know how to operate the local area, he will not have a foundation, and he will spin up and down like a yellow turban thief, but what I saw this year is that without the local clans, when Tu County has become his more stable foundation, His decree can go directly to every villager in the countryside, the simplified Chinese characters that were originally in the eyes of Jiangnan scholars are written on his decree in a grand manner, and these rough people in the countryside can also understand these words, a villager is nothing, but the entire village of Dangtu is in accordance with his actions, up and down. This is just a dangtu, now in the southeast of Jianghuai, millions of people who used to read did not care, and the government did not pay attention to the rural mud legs under his banner to grow grain for him, make steel for him, and wear perseverance for him, under this monster of millions of people, who is the only husband? It's you and me, it's those useless scholars, it's those wealthy families who live and die." After listening to the words of Dangtu County Order, several county officials were stunned for a long time, and Shucheng County Commander said with a wry smile: "It seems that we are alone in front of him, no wonder he is like this to us, we are useless people." Chen Xianling made a round: "Forget it, we are just a spectator now, and it is useless to him to him, remind the imperial court, the first to be unlucky is still us." Let's go home, sip tea and laugh to see this great change that has not been seen in a thousand years. The county magistrate of Wuwei County said: "Yes, I really want to watch it, his unlucky way is not only the imperial court, but also the Confucianism and the family that believes in him for thousands of years, this kind of drama will last for a thousand years." Several county commanders helped each other away, with a hint of depression from their backs, but more chic.

Cheng Pan didn't care what these people said, and he wasn't interested in knowing that the words of these county orders were right, and they were just spectators now. Cheng Pan is now busy rushing to the military factory.

Now there is a heavy machine gun in Cheng Pan's territory, but this thing consumes too many metal bullets, as the earliest machine gun in the territory, Cheng Pan does not know the structure of the Makqin heavy machine gun, and the only thing he has to remind his subordinates is the product of the six-tube Gatling hand-cranked machine gun. The Gatling in the current realm does not have the fan of the later Fire Dragon King. Now only the top one of the six tubes can spit out bullets non-stop. As for the phenomenon that it will jam when shaken, Cheng Pan pressed a hairspring on the handle, first let the handle wind the hairspring, and then the hairspring released elastic kinetic energy to rotate the six barrels, with such a layer of buffer. Then through guò the training of machine gunners. This kind of repeating gun was successfully developed. However, even Cheng Pan was distressed when he tested the bullets, but he couldn't show it yet, and he couldn't let the military researchers be affected by his desire to save money. After all, a fully tested weapon is guaranteed. Cheng Pan did not want to equip the army with missiles that had been test-fired several times like India in later generations. The combat effectiveness of that kind of Brown missile does not want to appear in its own military industrial research.

Compared with the heartache of the machine gun, the research of the artillery is a scene of half helplessness and half happiness.

The machine gun came out, Cheng Pan was like a leap forward, the mortar plus the flowering shell has always been a big killer in Cheng Pan's target, for which Cheng Pan has put a lot of effort into research, the technology of the mortar is not difficult, strictly speaking, the infantry mortar is still a breech gun. When the bullet lands, the firing pin connected with the inertial counterweight suddenly stops when the inertia touches the ground, and the part of the inertial firing pin originally linked to the projectile body falls off inside the projectile body under inertia, and continues to move downward to excite the mercury to detonate the explosive.

Of course, the first problem encountered was the problem of cannon steel. In the thin-walled infantry mortar of the original time and space, the barrel has always been the best of the best in the use of cannon steel. Mortars in the 21st century can have a range of up to 75oo meters. Cheng Pan can't make this kind of cannon steel now, and chromium alone can only be produced in small quantities, let alone metal processing with several other elements. Cheng Pan's converter steelmaking is to jump the technology of large-scale steelmaking to the end of the nineteenth century, but the accumulation of material science is not, and Cheng Pan can catch up with several real rooms in the past few years.

In order to improve the accuracy of the barrel, the workers of the steel mill used the quilt cover technology, that is, a barrel was put on a red-hot metal tube, and the outer metal tube cooled down due to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, tightly clamping the barrel inside to give the barrel a stress. It's easy to say, but it requires a high degree of precision, and the two metal pipes need to be tightly fitted between them. At present, only the No. 1 steel plant can carry out this operation. Of course, in addition to the quilt cover technology, it can also be replaced by using steel bars to tighten the barrel.

In short, the product of the final mortar is by no means lightweight, and this iron lump is better to require a carriage maneuver. Its range is so-so, reaching 12oo meters. However, for these numbers, Cheng Pan was still satisfied, and the blossom was in hand.

Although this range of flowering shells can already abuse any unit in this world, Cheng Pan still did not give up the research of direct artillery. At present, Cheng Pan has several major differences between his own artillery and the original time and space war artillery, the first is the flowering bomb, this Cheng Pan consciously gave up, and the second is the breech, under the temptation of the rear loading gun, this thing came out. The structure of the gun lock of this sample is very similar to the Armstrong breech gun in the history of the original time and space, Cheng Pan did not copy it, Cheng Pan is not a cannon enthusiast and is not interested in the aspect, this thing is completely thought up by the technicians of the military factory themselves. Not to mention that the jam of that thing and the weight is extraordinary, the caliber has been repeatedly streamlined, but the gun lock cannot be reduced, and it will become a problem to reduce the caliber processing. With a weight of 3 tons, this breech gun is only suitable for naval guns, but there is no enemy at sea that is worth fighting with breech guns. Rockets are enough.

Therefore, the current 6th Army artillery has not changed much, but due to the use of steel cast guns, there is no need to stop for a while with three guns as before.

After the advent of steel cannons, all the previous artillery became inferior products, and not only that, artillery ammunition also began to change, and shrapnel was born. As a combination of solid range and shotgun's lethality against soft targets, shrapnel was more ferocious than machine guns in an era without trenches and barbed wire.

A shrapnel is a barrel with a small amount of explosives at the bottom, and the rest of the space is stuffed with iron. After the cannon knocked the barrel out, the explosion of gunpowder at the bottom of the barrel through the ignited fuse of the time-delayed fuse in mid-air ejected the iron inside the barrel, forming a shower of metal at the point of the shelling. In this way, before the delay fuse is ignited, the air resistance of the cartridge is small compared to that of the shotgun, and the initial degree of the iron inside the cartridge is maintained. This strengthens the projectile capability.

As Cheng Pan, who was framed by dogmatism, saw that a certain group of people crossing Hainan was ignited by the flames fired from the muzzle of the gun, so Cheng Pan had been on this road until the dark, because this ignition method was unreliable, many bullets fell to the ground in the mode of solid bullets. Therefore, the shotgun is not equipped. But while studying the mortar touchdown lead, Cheng Pan patted his head. This inertial firing pin can be mounted upside down, and as soon as the gun fires, the inertial firing pin ignites the delayed lead inside the barrel. Cannon flame ignition or something, let him get out. At the same time, a new technology has also been proposed by military technicians, that is, the inertial firing pin can be used as an insurance to prop up the inertia firing pin with a spring.

Cheng Pan and the military commander observed the new types of ammunition used by the artillery. Three kilometers away, pieces of wooden targets were pierced by iron. Everyone expressed their satisfaction with this long-range infantry killer, and Zhu Zitiao said that solid ammunition could be eliminated in the future, and this kind of grenade shrapnel alone could inflict ten times the previous blow on the enemy. Cheng Pan couldn't help but sigh that the artillery was the god of war. At this time, He Feng said that only the tactics of the squad straggler line that he proposed now can restrain this kind of artillery bombardment, and can also cooperate with this kind of artillery, because under this kind of artillery, the enemy cannot guarantee a dense queue, and there is no need to save the tactics of platoon guns and shooting like before. He Feng's words then led to a series of tactical discussions about the appearance of shrapnel bombs, and the debate was fierce.

Cheng Pan now machine guns and mortars can be temporarily slowed down, when the two shine is trench warfare, now the opponent of the territory has no industrialized countries, trench warfare can not be fought at all In the case of the enemy without trenches, the lethality and range of mortars and machine guns are far inferior to the current god of war.
