Liu Yu suddenly felt a little irritable, I don't know how the war on Qiongdao is, the summer harvest in Dongning County is only expected to be less than seventy percent, and all kinds of trivial things make Liu Yu always feel a pain in the brain.

"That's it, that's it." Liu Yu got up slowly, changed into clothes, and left the house.

During this time, whenever he was upset, Liu Yu would always go to the Huben military camp shooting range near Laoag to practice target practice.

This is also one of the few outdoor activities that Liu Yu has in Luzon.

First, I can have fun, and secondly, I mainly come to inspect the state of firearms and training of the Ming army.

As the elite team of the elite of the Luzon Ming Army, Liu Yu of the Tiger Army attaches great importance to it.

Soon, under the escort of the Iron Man Army, Liu Yu rode his horse to the shooting range.

The Ming army made good use of firearms, but it was different from the Han army in the past, which used eight fires.

Liu Yu, who went to Nanyang, considered systematization in the development of the Ming army's firearms and equipment.

To put it bluntly, it is enough for the whole army to be equipped with one light gun and one heavy gun.

There is no need to equip all kinds of muskets and eight kinds of muskets like the late Ming Dynasty.

The type of lead bullet used in various muskets is different, the material is different, and the amount of gunpowder is also different.

It's extremely cumbersome to use, and the logistics are nightmarish.

Therefore, Liu Yu carried out drastic reforms in response to the situation of the eight arms of the Ming Dynasty in the pre-Ming Dynasty.

In the infantry, only self-generated firecrackers, a type of firecracker.

And each squad has one Baizi gun, and each association has two small Franco cannons.

And the Ming army of each association is also specially equipped with a heavy firearm squad.

Heavy arquebuses such as turtledoves are equipped.

In this way, the production, application, and logistics of the Ming army's firearms were greatly simplified.

On weekdays, the Firearms Division only needs to use self-generated firearms to propel gunpowder into the medicine tube, and send it to the Ming army one by one.

To a certain extent, the logistics supply has been optimized.

At this time, in the shooting range of Huben Town, the soldiers of the Huben Army were experimenting with a new type of flintlock musket.

This gun is not smaller than the average self-generated firearm, and it generally needs an iron bracket to support it.

This is exactly the self-generated eagle gun developed by the Ming Army Firearms Division on the basis of the Eagle Yang Gong.

Speaking of this kind of eagle gun, it is still a large arquebus made by Zhao Shizhen for the Japanese big bird gun.

During the Ming Wanli War to aid Korea, the soldiers of the Ming army in armor were often beaten by a large iron cannon equipped by the Japanese army.

And the large iron cannon equipped by the Japanese army was actually a heavy arquebus.

Just like the Ming army now popularized a large number of turtledoves.

It has a long range, strong lethality, and a particularly good armor-piercing effect, which can pierce armor from a distance of one or twenty steps.

Therefore, Zhao Shizhen made a large arquebus using the structure of the Franco machine after referring to the Japanese big iron gun. br>

Due to the use of a sub-set structure, its firepower continuity is far better than that of the Japanese large iron cannons.

Therefore, it is named after the eagle and is called the Eagle Raising Gun.

The Firearms Division was not satisfied with the turtledove.

Therefore, after referring to the eagle raised gun developed by Zhao Shizhen, he began to use this gun as the prototype for transformation.

First, the fire rope was abolished and flint was used instead.

This change in firing method was also applied to the improved deer of the turtledove's foot gun for a long time.

In this regard, the firearms master is also familiar with the road.

Its body is made of high-quality wrought iron, which is forged by water conservancy.

Its barrels are long and heavy, and are equipped with a crosshair and a door.

There are three doors for each gamete, and there is a separate fire gate on each gun.

Its firepower is two to three times longer than that of the turtledove.

However, due to its heavy weight, it was not suitable for Ming soldiers to carry on long-distance marches.

Therefore, a light gun carriage was specially equipped for this gun.

When used often to:

Three guns for one car.

It can be shot according to the car, or it can be removed from the car for separate use.

For this kind of self-generated eagle gun, Liu Yu is still quite satisfied.

Different from light guns such as bird guns, heavy fire guns have inherent quality advantages, and their reliability is much better when using the parent-child structure.

This is also the reason why the Firearms Division used the Franco machine and mother structure in the design of subsequent heavy muskets.

Of course, the only problem now is capacity.

At present, the capacity of the Firearms Division is limited.

The guns and pipes of the Ming army were all forged with water power.

The ironworks on the outskirts of Laoag are also underproductive.

After all, a lot of iron ore still needed to be purchased from the East India Company and Dutch merchants.

There is no shortage of high-quality wood in Luzon.

However, its production capacity is obviously unable to meet the needs of the Ming army for large-scale expansion.

However, considering that it has only been a few years since the Ming court went south to Luzon, it is already very good that the Ming court can develop to this point.

"Your Excellency the Governor, my Tiger Ben Army is training day and night, but now, only Qianzhen has gone to Qiongzhou under the leadership of General Wang Tong to fight against the Tatar Qing." Chen Guangchang, the town general of Huben Zuozhen, came over.

"All of my Tiger Ben army are eager to go north to Qiongzhou to fight the Tatar Qing in order to repay the Governor's kindness."

Seeing these generals who asked for battle, Liu Yu smiled.

The reason why they were not transferred to Qiongzhou was also because they were worried about the instability of the main island of Luzon.

How could Liu Yu possibly let them go north?

"Don't panic, Hu Ben is the elite of the Ming Army, and there is a time when you will make contributions." Liu Yu reassured.

Watching the Ming officers and soldiers on the school field drill, it was a day before I knew it.

It wasn't until sunset that Liu Yu rode back to the city.

On the way, Liu Yu thought about it carefully and always felt very uneasy about Nanpu County.

He didn't have much trust in Ta Lu, the general.

After thinking about it, it was finally decided to transfer the officers and soldiers of Huben Zuo to Vigan.

And the right town of Huben was transferred to Tulaogega.

In this way, in the northern part of Nanpu County, Ming troops were deployed to monitor every move in the direction of Nanpu County at any time.

And with Liu Quan in Dongning County, he should be able to worry about it.

Since Liu Quan left Mingcheng, he took the three hundred Ming officers and soldiers of Wuwei Town to Dongning County.

This Wuwei Town was originally a reserve military town formed by Liu Yu.

It was originally to provide reserve soldiers for the major main military towns of the Ming army.

With the population potential of the Han people on Luzon Island and Jiading almost exhausted, there is basically no possibility for this Wuwei town to continue to replenish the military resources for the major military towns.

Therefore, these 300 Ming officers and soldiers also went to Dongning County with Liu Quan.

Under the leadership of the Ilok natives, it took more than a month to cross the mountains and mountains before arriving in Dongning County.

At this moment, Dongning County has just been established, and the territory is not calm.

When the officers and soldiers of Wuwei Town arrived in Dongning County, Wen Cong, the magistrate of Dongning County, hurriedly went to greet them.

This Wen Cong is not a Ming man, but a local Ilok official in Luzon Laoag, who worked for the Spaniards in the Spanish colonial authorities, and now has become the magistrate of Dongning County.

"The lower officer has seen the general." Wen Cong took more than a dozen officials such as the chief secretary of Dongning County to wait in front of the county office early.

At this time, the Dongning County Ya had only just been established, but it was only a few tiled houses.

Seeing this scene, Liu Quan immediately had a good impression of this Dongning magistrate.

"The last general will bring the officers and soldiers of Wuwei Town to Dongning, in order to ensure the peace of Dongning." Liu Quandao.

"With a general leading the royal division here, my Dongning County can be safeguarded." Wen Cong was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

He has been here with Dongning County officials for several months.

Although the Ming forces had already arrived, there were not many Ming officers and soldiers left here.

In addition, the local forces are staggered.

The only area under the actual jurisdiction of Dongning County is the edge of the river valley.
