At the celebration banquet that night, Shen Shuren did not directly let people "sum up the experience of victory" in a bad way, but tried to mention military affairs as little as possible.

It was really Huang Degong's heartfelt admiration that he replied with two sentences, but it was limited to the point.

Shen Shuren knows very well that an alcoholic like Huang Degong is a war when he fights, and he is happy when he is happy, and he should not talk to the leader or build the company's team when he drinks.

In order to convince people's hearts and use different types of talents, we must have emotional intelligence tailored to people's conditions.

You can talk about mission, vision, and values with the strategist, and you should drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl with a hard time.

Huang Degong finally returned drunk, and slept until noon with a hangover the next day.

Shen Shuren didn't raise his tent in the morning, and everything was about three chapters in advance before drinking last night, so that all the generals could drink openly.

Although this order actually benefited Huang Degong the most, at least on the surface, a bowl of water was level, and military discipline was treated equally, and it was not considered to open a small stove for someone.

[To tell the truth,Recently, I've been using wild fruit to read and read books to chase more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,.yeguoyuedu Android and Apple are available.】 】

Shen Shuren himself is very strict with himself, although he also drank a little too much, he still insisted on getting up at eight o'clock in the morning, only one hour later than usual.

After breakfast, he personally inspected the city to inspect the defense, walked around the four city walls of Shangcai County, checked the damage and maintenance progress of various fortifications after yesterday's war, and stopped to point out and supervise when there were problems.

Shangcai City is not big, the circumference of the city wall is only more than ten miles, and even walking with inspection instructions can be completed in less than two hours.

was busy until noon, when Huang Degong hurried over, followed by several generals: "Lord Futai!" The end will be late, forgive sins. What's wrong with defense? ”

He was actually woken up by his subordinates, reminding him that Governor Shen had gotten up early and personally inspected the city to inspect the defense, Huang Degong was embarrassed, so he hurriedly dressed up and obeyed orders without eating breakfast.

Shen Shuren Yun Yufeng smiled lightly, didn't care, and said kindly: "It's okay, it's the official who said that there is no need to patrol early today." I've finished patrolling just now, I'm a little tired, and I'm about to sit down for lunch, General Huang together? ”

Shen Shuren said, very down-to-earth took a few donkey meat from Ding Shenfu, a henchman next to him, and gave two to Huang Degong.

Donkey meat is the meat of the animals that have been killed in battle, and it is a waste not to eat it.

On Shangcai's side, because of the scout war and the harassment and confrontation of grain transportation, a small number of donkeys and horses died every day. The loss of donkeys is actually less than that of horses, but horse meat is unpalatable, so the people of Shen Shu distributed the killed donkeys to civilian officials and generals, and horse meat to more junior officers, and no one felt that it was inappropriate.

Huang Degong took it immediately, although it was cold, it was still very delicious for those who didn't eat breakfast.

While eating, he was a little embarrassed, and finally humbly asked about military matters to make up for the embarrassment of his absence.

In addition, when the two of them were eating, they happened to be sitting next to a horse-faced fort on a city wall, so Huang Degong naturally asked about the gains and losses of yesterday's artillery deployment.

I saw Huang Degong say with a ashamed face: "To tell the truth, we don't have much contact with this kind of Franc machine, and I saw it for the first time after I arrived in Ruyang, and I thought it was an ordinary Franc machine at that time, so I didn't pay much attention."

Later, I saw that before the war, you specially ordered the artillery to be deployed horizontally, and we were also a little surprised, although we were puzzled, we didn't ask much. It wasn't until the battle that I realized that this ammunition was weird.

My lord is really a wonderful idea, how can I think of such a cannonball that is packed and stuffed with a wooden cylinder as a whole, and then loaded into the sub-gun. Today, I was about to ask my lord for permission to open a few pieces, and ask for more tips on how to use them. ”

Huang Degong was a reckless man who could use firearms, but he did not master additional unique skills. When encountering this new weapon, it is inevitable that there will be negligence and not enough attention has been paid to it before.

So much so that after the first battle, I thought of checking and filling in the gaps, and my attitude towards technical learning was really dull.

The Sinking Tree People have also noticed this after coming into contact with them for a while. Originally, his impression and positioning of Huang Degong felt that it should be similar to Liu Guoneng-

Both of them are from bitter backgrounds, it is nothing more than Huang Degong killed Tartars in Liaodong when he was a child and exchanged his head for silver, while Liu Guoneng was a thief when he was young.

But after in-depth observation, Shen Shuren found that the attitudes of these two people towards learning were very different.

Although Liu Guoneng is a thief, he knows the good and the bad and is willing to learn. He also admired scholars in his heart, but hated that he was from a humble background and couldn't be a Sven.

Therefore, Shen Shuren sent his only son to Nanjing Guozijian and threw himself under the gate of Wumei Village, and did not put him on the shelf of Jinshi, and made friends with him sincerely, Liu Guoneng was grateful and swore to repay his kindness.

And Huang Degong doesn't admire literati at all, and he doesn't like to study, he is pure and reckless. Such a person, if Shen Shuren wants to be subdued, it is not enough to rely on Corporal Lixian, so he will naturally be slower.

Fortunately, Shen Shuren was not in a hurry, for example, at this moment, he waited for Huang Degong's spontaneous curiosity, and he could click on it by the way.

Shen Shuren waved his hand, signaled Shen Fu and a few other soldiers, brought over a small Franc machine of three or four hundred catties, took out the Zi Gong, and then took the cartridge ammunition loaded inside to Huang Degong for careful observation and explanation.

"This kind of ammunition is a litter of buckshot inside, and the outside is packed with wooden barrels, and in order to be airtight with the gun chamber, we first painted wood paint.

Later, during the Battle of Dongting Lake three months ago, Shen Lian and Li Yu used it back, and reported that the glue paint was not burned clean when excited, and although it was airtight, it was easy to have sticky residues attached to the inner wall of the gun chamber.

After the fighting, it is necessary to wipe the inner chamber with a wooden stick wrapped in a damp cloth, and then wipe it again with a dry cloth wooden stick, so as not to cause the gun chamber to become narrower and narrower, and not to get damp gunpowder. So it's too cumbersome, not much faster than the old ammunition Franc machine.

So after I came back, I asked Governor Fang and Director Song to think about it and optimize it again, so that we have the current version. Now the adjusted shell coating of the wooden shell is more close to the inner wall of the barrel, which can ensure that the shell does not fall out at a larger depression angle, and can be fully burned without residue, and the second shot can be fired without cleaning. ”

Huang Degong listened patiently to the explanation, and it was only after he had a deep understanding of the development of this weapon and what problems had been solved in the process before it was iterated to the current version.

Huang Degong couldn't help but admire Shen Shuren's "project management" ability more and more.

Because he has only now discovered that this weapon was not thought of in a flash of inspiration, but was realistic, solved problems when encountered, and optimized step by step to this point.

A flash of inspiration can be due to good luck, and the product power that has been iterated repeatedly is definitely the hard power of R&D and project management personnel.

"Master Shen is very good at managing ingenious things", this is the new impression Huang Degong got after listening to it.

At the same time, Huang Degong remembered that Shen Shuren also mentioned last night that he originally had more killer features that used this kind of artillery, but he hadn't used it yesterday.

Now that he has asked for advice, Huang Degong is also very humble and wants to continue learning, so he respectfully asks.

Shen Shuren didn't hide it, and pointed directly at the cannon and said: "I do have a lot of tricks, but there are a lot of things to say for a while, let's pick the most obvious threat-

Didn't Tian Jianxiu change to attack the front of the horse face instead of attacking the ordinary wall section after seeing the lateral side bombardment of our artillery yesterday? Yesterday, I relied on General Huang's bravery, your own soldiers, and your own soldiers to push the enemy back in close combat. But in fact, there is another way to solve it, it will be more secure, but it is necessary to optimize and adjust the shape of the horse face.

Originally, the front of the horse face was parallel to the city wall, and the other horse faces could not cover the front of the attacked horse face, and there was a dead angle for shooting.

If we transform the horse face from a straight wall to two sections of wall with the sides retracted, forming a protruding sharp corner in the middle, that is, the quadrangular horse face becomes a pentagonal horse face.

Then, the Franc cannon mounted on the side of the adjacent horse face on the left and right can also smoothly hit the front of the horse face next door, and even if the enemy only attacks the front of the horse face, and does not attack at all elsewhere, it will still be bombarded in vain. ”

As he spoke, there was no pen or paper on the city wall, so he drew his sword and drew a few lines directly on the rammed earth as a schematic diagram. Combined with geometric figures, Huang Degong naturally understood it immediately.

Of course, it is not a complete fortress, but more like a temporary fortress based on the traditional city wall, which has been renovated to eliminate the dead angle of shooting.

(Note: The prototype of the fortress appeared in the West in the 1552 Battle of Metz, France, but it was not a complete fortress at that time, but outside the traditional walls of the city of Metz, some outbuildings were added to eliminate the dead end of shooting)

Huang Degong looked at the straight line indicated by Shen Shuren, and sure enough, he found that after the transformation, the artillery on the left and right horse faces could completely hit the front of the middle horse face, as long as the angle of the artillery was slightly deviated.

However, Huang soon discovered that there seemed to be two problems with the realization of this tactic.

He pondered for a moment, and immediately asked humbly: "My lord, this kind of horse face is indeed good, but the direction of the barrel when the Franc machine bombards the horse face is not exactly the same as the direction when it bombards the side of the ordinary city wall.

In addition, these Franc machines fought yesterday with shotguns, which are extremely powerful to kill, but they can't go far. There are only two hundred paces between each horse face on the city wall, and to hit the middle position between the two horse faces, you only need to fly seventy or eighty steps away with a shotgun, and it can still be extremely lethal.

However, if you want to hit the opposite horse, instead of the middle half of the two horses, the range required is suddenly doubled. It is extremely difficult for the Franc machine to launch a shotgun at a distance of 200 paces and still have such a great power, and if it is used to use a single-headed bomb when bombarding a friendly neighbor's horse, the power will be greatly reduced, and each cannon cannot kill too many people, how to choose between this? ”

Shen Shuren showed a rare look of approval, and this reckless man finally began to sincerely enter the state of learning.

Shen Shuren didn't hide his secrets, and replied directly: "The first problem is easy to solve, our army has always developed a new type of gun mount, and the prefect of Wuchang Fang has made several appearances, yesterday's battle is just not necessary to install, after all, it is better to put the gun carriage directly in the groove on the ground of the fort."

But as long as you have drawings, just find some carpenters, these wooden shelves can be ready in two or three days, and then you can flexibly adjust the shooting angle in a small area.

As for the second question, can you continue to use shotguns two hundred paces away...... This brings us to the second type of shell we have for the thieves. ”
