Liu Yu thought about his future plans as he walked.

He was disgusted by the belligerent and short-sighted Ming generals, and he was also worried about whether the Ming army would impulsively march into Manila.

After the battle of Mingcheng, Spain, which suffered a heavy defeat, will inevitably make a comeback, and the Ming troops are not enough to defend, so how can we talk about attacking?

Liu Yu no longer had the ability to affect the Ming Center at this time, at least when Huang Liangji was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and Xiao Wu led the fleet to escape to the waters of Luzon.

Li Daoan, who took over the power, seems to be on the side of King Ming, and at this moment he can only hope that Zhu Honghuan can calm down.

"Leader Liu."

Suddenly, a respectful shout stopped Liu Yu.

Liu Yu's thoughts came back in an instant, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the sound.

I saw a middle-aged man standing respectfully in the wooden shed not far from him.

"Huang Youde." Liu Yu was also shocked when he saw this person.

"Why, haven't you been back to the village yet?" Liu Yu looked at the craftsmen who were busy in the wooden shed and asked.

"Back to my lordship, since Shengban was going to attack the city, thanks to the care of my lord, all the firearms craftsmen moved into the city, and they were able to escape the slaughter of Shengfan."

"However, due to the concern that the firearms of the soldiers in Mingcheng were excessively worn, the craftsmen in the army could not repair them, so they deliberately left a part of the craftsmen to assist in the maintenance of firearms." Huang Youde explained.

"Oh, that's it." Liu Yu nodded.

"I heard that my uncle was named the Marquis of Zhengbei and formed Huben Town, and I congratulated my lord here." Huang Youde said with a smile.

"There is no need for these polite words, Huang Youde, I still have some things I want to talk to you about." Liu Yu pulled Huang Youde past him and walked straight into the wooden shed.

"Your Excellency,"

The wooden shack is not very large, and it seems a little crowded with seven or eight craftsmen crowded into one wooden shed.

Liu Yu looked at the craftsmen who were still working overtime to repair and inspect firearms such as muskets, and couldn't help but be a little moved.

"You are really a pillar of light for me, thank you for your hard work." Liu Yu bowed.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Huang Youde hurriedly helped Liu Yu up.

"If you don't wait for you to work overtime to produce advanced self-generated firearms for our Ming army, I am afraid that the outcome of this battle will be unpredictable." Liu Yu said sincerely.

"It is our duty to be able to make high-quality firearms for the Ming soldiers, and to expel the Tartars." Huang Youde said.

"Yes, sir."

"I heard that the soldiers of the Divine Machine Association led by the Lord used their own firearms to beat the Franc Robot Man back, and I was shocked when I heard it." An old man in his fifties and sixties said.

"yes,"

"They all say that my big fire weapons are not as good as people, and our craftsmen are not as good as those Francophone people, and we just don't believe it." The other said softly.

"I have been a country for more than 200 years, and I rely on firearms to expel the Tartars, how can I not be as good as these Francophone people who came from afar?"

"But no one believes it, they all think that the Franco machine is strong in firearms, but the adults used my Ming firearms to beat the Franc machine people and fled, I should thank the adults even more." As he spoke, the man cried directly, and under the moonlight, the gray hair was scattered on the thin back.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yu also sighed.

"Old gentlemen, if you have any trouble with food and housing, please let me know, and I will do my best to help." Liu Yu arched his hand.

"My lord, I'm content." On the side, several craftsmen hurriedly said.

"Huang Youde, you better come out with me."

After speaking, Liu Yu pulled Huang Youde over and dragged him out of the shanty.

"What's the matter, sir." Huang Youde was tossed by Liu Yu, and couldn't help but look stunned.

He motioned for his soldiers to take the firearm off his shoulder.

"Look at it."

Liu Yu handed the torch to Huang Youde.

"My lord, this firearm was not prepared in the army, could it be," looking at the firearm handed over by Liu Yu, Huang Youde looked puzzled.

"Yes, it was captured by the Francophone," Liu Yu nodded,

"I ask you what is the difference between this firecrackle and your own." Liu Yu said.

"This," Huang Youde carefully looked at the fire gun by the moonlight.

"My lord, the body of the fire gun in your hand is longer than your own fire gun, and even the mouth of this gun is bigger." Huang Youde's eyesight is extraordinary, and he directly saw the difference between this fire gun and the self-generated fire gun by the moonlight.

"yes."

"Do you know that the Franco-robot musket team fired a volley more than a dozen paces away, and more than a dozen of our soldiers fell in response, and the armor they wore was broken."

"This firebolt pierced through the armor more than a dozen paces away." Huang Youde said in surprise.

"Yes, more than a dozen steps away and no bullets." Liu Yu affirmed.

"This." Huang Youde's face sank.

"Whether or not the self-generated fire gun can do it, I think you know better than me."

Liu Yu took off the shoulder strap of a soldier on the side and took out a heavy black projectile.

"You, this is the lead bullet used by the Franc man, which is much heavier than the lead bullet used by my Ming army's musket." Liu Yu looked at Huang Youde.

Huang Youde took the lead bullet, looked at it and dragged it in his hand.

With a final sigh, he said, "What the adult wants to say, the villain understands." ”

Huang Youde looked lonely, and gently returned the fire gun to the personal soldier.

"Lord Huang, I don't have this intention, I just hope that the Ming army can prepare a better firecracker, and I hope that Lord Haihan will be able to do so." Liu Yu said softly.

"Understood, the villain is going to try to improve the self-generated fire gun." Huang Youde arched his hand, turned around and wanted to go back.

"Lord Huang." Seeing this, Liu Yu hurriedly stopped Huang Youde.

"My lord, is there anything else?" Huang Youde looked at Liu Yu,

"I mean, can you directly copy the Franc Robot's firecracker, it's more convenient." Liu Yu said embarrassedly.

Huang Youde looked at Liu Yu a little helplessly, and said with a wry smile:

"My lord, to tell you the truth, in fact, the villain also knows that the performance of the fire gun in front of him is better than that of the self-generated fire gun, not because we are petty, but because we and other craftsmen can't make it."

"What?" Liu Yu was stunned.

"My lord, the long body is the most difficult to make, and the craftsmanship of the Franc machine is particularly unique, and we are indeed a little outdated." Huang Youde sighed.

"Is it hard to just lengthen the body?" Liu Yu looked at Huang Youde in disbelief.

"Adults don't know,"

"The most important thing about a high-quality firearm is the gun, which is the most difficult to make, not only the process is cumbersome and the machine tools and drilling process requirements are extremely high, all aspects are indispensable, and it cannot be built at all with the simple bamboo bed and water power of the current firearms division." Huang Youde said.

"That's right." Liu Yu also seems to feel that it is difficult for some strongmen.

It's no wonder that Liu Yu is nitpicking, after all, as a modern person, Liu Yu's trust in muskets is much higher than that of other weapons, so he naturally hopes to prepare the most advanced and most lethal efficiency for firearms.

"My lord, the only way to do this is to expand the chamber of the self-generated fire, and use a larger projectile to ensure that the power can penetrate the light armor within a dozen steps." Huang Youde said.

"But if that's the case, then the original accuracy and range will also be reduced, right?" Liu Yu asked.

Huang Youde didn't answer, just stood there silently.

"That's it." Liu Yu waved his hand,

"Let's continue to produce like this," Liu Yu finally gave up.

It's not that he is disappointed, but he feels that the Ming army will not necessarily face the Spaniards in front of it in the future, but more of the Qing army.

The main force of the Qing army is no longer the Eight Banners but the Green Battalion, and I vaguely remember that the armor rate of the Green Battalion is not high, and the self-generated fire is enough.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu didn't force it,

Huang Youde couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Yu was no longer forced.

"Now, how much can the firearms division produce firearms?" Liu Yu asked.

"Back to my lord's words, the current output of self-generated firecrackers can reach 100 strokes a month."
