Danger is a euphemism.

What Bi Maokang really means is that there are many elite soldiers under Yang Chengying, so why should female soldiers participate in firearms manufacturing.

"Master Bi doesn't know that the female soldiers in our army are all women who don't let them shave their eyebrows."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "They have received ten years of book education, more than a year of military training and battlefield observation, and ordinary soldiers are not their opponents. ”

In order to adapt to the recruitment and the actual situation in ancient times, Yang Chengying's primary school system was five years, three years in junior high school, and two years in high school.

At the age of six, he was born to study, and when he came out at the age of sixteen, he was a qualified talent.

If you study in the university for another four years, you will be just twenty years old, and you will be crowned.

It is very much in line with the tradition of the ancients who were twenty crowns.

For the Master to put crowns on them and officially participate in government duties, it is very sacred.

Talent investment is also investment.

Bi Maokang was a little surprised.

Xu Guangqi said: "Since the beginning of the Apocalypse, Yang Chengying has been vigorously developing the school, both men and women. ”

Bi Maokang suddenly realized: "I see. ”

"Firearms improvement requires a lot of experience and culture."

Yang Chengying added: "I also have to be very careful, I think, no one is more suitable to do this than a female soldier." ”

Bi Maokang smiled: "No wonder you can do so many big things, there is a reason for it." ”

"There is also a credit to Xu Lao and Bi Lao."

Yang Chengying said: "I have read the books you edited several times. ”

Everyone laughed.

The gun that Yang Chengying painstakingly developed was invented in the mid-nineteenth century, and its full name is the Enfield P1853 Fire Cap Rifle.

It is a model of a firing gun.

The bullet used is a very revolutionary invention in the history of bullets, called the Mini bullet.

Fire cap, firing charge...... All of them are epoch-making works.

But for it to be able to equip the army extensively, it will have to rely on a strong steel industry.

Therefore, Yang Chengying handed over the further development of the new gun to Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang, as well as Yu Suzhen's female soldiers.

He wants to devote himself to the steel industry.

However, before that, you have to teach them the basics.

Four days later, Yu Suzhen and the female soldiers, who had rested, were radiant.

"Jingluo, the five hundred and seventeen female soldiers in the women's barracks have arrived, please give instructions to Jingluo."

After the roll call, Yu Suzhen hugged her fist at Yang Chengying, and then consciously stood aside.

Yang Chengying nodded at her, and then faced the female soldier: "Take a break." ”

"There is a reason why I transferred you to Chaoyang County, and so many people came at once."

After a pause, Yang Chengying continued: "General Yu should have told you, but it is not easy to manufacture. So, the burden on your shoulders is heavy. ”

"From now on, you will eat and live in the dormitory of the gun factory, and you will not be allowed to go out without reason."

Yang Chengying asked, "Can you do it?" ”

Yu Suzhen took the lead and shouted: "Can you !! ”

"Bai Guangen."

"Yes."

"Listen!" Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Bai Guangen, who had a serious face: "You take a group of skilled workers to participate in blast furnace production." If something goes wrong, you're the only one who asks. ”

"Yes!" Bai Guangen raised his head.

He certainly didn't know how to make guns, and he had even just learned to write his own name.

Yang Chengying arranged for him to be in the gunsmith's factory, and the main purpose was to control the craftsmen.

It's not that I'm worried that the craftsmen will harass the female soldiers, but that I'm afraid that these craftsmen will be beaten by the female soldiers.

One-on-one, double-on-two, female soldiers may not be opponents.

But when it comes to group fighting, those who have not received professional training will suffer a big loss.

"Guys, I don't want anything to make me angry."

Yang Cheng said to the young craftsmen who were about to enter the factory: "If you let me know together, I will stay in the mine for the rest of my life, and don't think about it." ”

"Got it." In terms of momentum, the craftsmen are much weaker.

Yang Chengying led them and came into contact with the gunsmith for the first time.

The whole factory is divided into several relatively large areas, gun body manufacturing area, barrel manufacturing area, parts production area, bullet manufacturing area, smokeless propellant area, test site, etc.

Each area has more than a dozen skilled workers as instructors.

Female soldiers are mainly responsible for the production and experimentation of smokeless propellants.

This is extremely important.

Starting from degreasing cotton, to using sulfuric acid and nitric acid to make strong and weak cotton wool, and then eliminating residual acid for nitrocellulose cotton.

Like making noodles, slicing and dicing.

These small particles of propellant also had to be loaded into wooden barrels with graphite powder and rock repeatedly.

Under a series of processes, a smokeless propellant is obtained.

Therefore, the gunpowder that Yu Suzhen saw was not black powder, but smokeless propellant.

As for why not make a modern bullet.

It's not because, with the poor work of the machine tool, it can't make high-precision bullets.

I could barely make a Minie bomb.

Just when Yang Cheng applied a month's time and taught patiently.

Li Guoying's division of the Liaodong Army, which was far away in Qingyang Mansion, defeated the peasant army in the first battle of Yaozhou.

This news soon reached Zhang Dingguo's ears.

"There are so many soldiers under King Chuang's command, why can't he beat them?"

Hao Yongzhong was puzzled.

Zhang Dingguo said helplessly: "There is still a gap between us and the official army, and we can't fight hard." ”

Although Hao Yongzhong was unwilling, he also knew that this was the truth.

He sighed and sat down on the cold ground.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked Zhang Dingguo: "You say, what will the Liaodong Army do?" ”

At the mention of this, Zhang Dingguo felt a faint pain in his heart.

Hao Shaoqi probably didn't know that they were going to be dragged to the mine to dig for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dingguo was about to speak, but saw Zhou Yuji coming.

The captives were also not as guarded and frightened as before, and some even wanted to get close.

The idea is dangerous!

Zhang Dingguo also felt this way, and hurriedly shook his head to make himself sober.

Zhou Yuji said: "Our army won the battle, the head of the regiment rewarded the whole army, and never hesitated to invite a few opera troupes from Xi'an Mansion, there are just vacant seats, do you want to go to the play." ”

As soon as the words fell, many people responded: "Okay! ”

Zhang Dingguo's face sank, these guys, don't they know who the people they defeated are?

Hao Yongzhong was even more unhappy, so he was about to get up.

was held down by Zhang Dingguo, and he instructed Hao Shaoqi what he wanted to do.

"Then, everyone leave in an orderly manner." Zhou Yuji was the first to go out.

Hao Yongzhong turned around and asked Zhang Dingguo: "Why are you stopping me!" ”

"Haven't you seen it yet?" Zhang Dingguo said calmly, "These people have begun to disobey me. ”

Hao Yongzhong reacted at this time, and the brothers didn't even look at Zhang Dingguo, and they had already followed out.

In their hearts, they gradually downplayed themselves as peasant soldiers.

"These cubs, they actually want to be the Liaodong Army, they are forgetting their roots."

Hao Yongzhong said indignantly.

Zhang Dingguo saw that only he and Hao Yongzhong were left, and sneered: "You don't know yet, if we don't surrender to the Liaodong Army, we will be dragged to the mines outside the Saiwai and mine for the rest of our lives." ”

"What?" Hao Yongzhong was shocked.
