Chapter 880 The Shooting Range Discusses the North
"What do you think of the Rakshasas?"
Yang Chengying asked Cao Bianjiao while loading ammunition.
Cao Bianjiao thought for a moment and replied, "The Rakshasas are tall, and if we fight in close combat, we will easily suffer. But they are dressed in the skin of Western fanzi, but they are Mongols in their bones.
He fights and acts in a rough manner, withstands the bitter cold of the north, and loves to drink spirits. It is only a matter of cunning to win against them, and it is better to dig up their stronghold and serve them in one pot."
"But now is not the time."
Yang Chengying picked up his gun, took aim, and then said, "The current situation in the south has changed drastically, and I have to put all my mind on the south and prepare for battle."
The trigger was pulled, and with a bang, the bullet hit the target.
Cao Bianjiao bit the paper and poured gunpowder into the barrel of the gun while asking, "Is it ...... Is the time ripe for the king to take over the world?"
"Not yet, but depending on the development of the situation, entry is just around the corner."
Yang Chengying put down the gun and turned his head to look at Cao Bianjiao.
Cao Bianjiao understood: "The ministers and Wang Fuchen must be cautious in the north, and they will not give the Rakshasas any opportunity to take advantage of."
"Not only that, I want you and Cao Bianjiao to divide the work. One of them led a team to build a castle on the shores of Lake Baikal and put cannons on it."
Yang Chengying said seriously: "The other person led the team to be stationed in Yaksa City, facing the Rakshasas externally, and staring at Sauron and the others internally."
"The king wants to take the opportunity to control the deer department and form a trap on the Chechen Khan."
Cao Bianjiao put on a fire cap, picked up his gun, and fired a shot at the target.
"The Rakshasas have acted perversely, causing the vigilance of the three major tribes of Sauron and Transkhalkha, which is extremely beneficial to us."
Yang Chengying said: "It's not that I'm ruthless, if I don't let these people feel pain, they won't face us. If they don't turn against us, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the north."
"This truth, my subordinates understand." Cao Bianjiao said with a smile, "The deer department was hostile to us at first, but with the arrival of the Rakshasa ghost, it gradually disappeared."
But when he thought of the tragic situation of Sauron and the deer, Cao Bianjiao couldn't laugh anymore.
He shook his head and sighed, "These rakshasas are really not things, and they do no different things than animals."
"They came to plunder, so naturally they wanted to use the most terrifying means to deter the people of the mountains and forests in order to achieve their goals."
Yang Chengying couldn't bear it, so he had to say, "You have to be patient for the time being, and when the situation is stabilized in the future, I will definitely have revenge and revenge."
"The king's words are to be taken to heart."
Cao Bianjiao cleaned up his depressed mood and reassured.
The two shot another round.
Cao Bianjiao found that the gun in his hand was slightly different from the Type 09, and seemed to be lighter.
"You've finally found out."
Yang Chengying saw the change in Cao Bianjiao's face and guessed it.
"King, this weapon seems to be lighter, and it shoots at a longer range."
Cao Bianjiao looked up at the target again, and said in surprise.
"This is an improved version of the Type 09, the material used for the body of the gun is better than before, the air tightness is better than the previous one, the only drawback - it is an experimental gun."
Yang Chengying introduced.
"King, will this gun be mass-produced?"
Cao Bianjiao was a little excited.
Shooting distance is life.
"No, it won't." Yang Chengying replied decisively.
"W-why?"
Cao Bianjiao was a little puzzled.
There is a better gun, why not mass production, equip the whole army.
"Because, I have a better gun."
Yang Chengying said: "For a long time, the problem of machine tools has not been solved. After a while, if you have something good, you can put it into practice."
"What gun? Your Majesty, can you give your ministers a thorough explanation?"
Cao Bianjiao smiled,
Eyes full of expectation.
Seeing this, Yang Chengying asked, "Have you ever seen this place to load ammunition?" With a pistol in his left hand, he pointed to the firing site with his right hand.
Cao Bianjiao was stunned when he heard this, took the gun in his hand, looked at it again and again, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it."
"One day, you'll be able to see it." Yang Chengying said with a smile.
"Ahh Cao Bianjiao lost his voice.
With the invention of the rifle, the current loading gun has developed to a certain stage, and the rear loading gun also came into being.
It's just that there are two problems that need to be overcome in the rear-loading gun, one is the air tightness, if it is not done well, it is a Hall rifle, due to the problem of air leakage, so the muzzle kinetic energy and firing range are inferior to the front-loading rifled gun.
Despite the great advantage in rate of fire, it was replaced by front-loading rifled guns before the Civil War in the United States due to range problems.
The second problem is the barrel and bullet, the regular barrel should use high-strength seamless steel pipe, which has extremely high requirements for the metallurgical industry.
In addition, metal-cutting equipment, as well as ordinary drilling, planing, and lathes with rotating pulleys are required.
A small bullet has to go through multiple processes such as stamping, stretching, incision, and neck tightening, and the bullet produced may not be qualified.
Therefore, Yang Chengying still needs to wait.
After staying at the shooting range for a while, Yang Chengying felt that he had said everything he needed to say, so he took Cao Bianjiao to the arsenal.
In particular, ammunition assembly plants.
It was a women-dominated assembly plant, and the yellow powder was weighed, loaded with Minne, and wrapped in brown paper.
A Mine bomb with a pack of gunpowder.
Wrap them into cylinders and tie them tightly with string. Then one by one, the cylindrical paper tubes are wrapped in a large kraft paper according to the specified amount.
When the soldier uses it, he only needs to take the large brown paper apart and put it in the bullet bag.
When you use it, take out a paper tube and bite off one end, pour out the gunpowder, and then poke the Mine bullet tightly with a guide baton, and you can fire it.
The female soldiers were responsible for keeping these busy women safe and maintaining order on the ground.
Yang Chengying and Cao Bianjiao stood far away, staring at the busy figures.
"The minister brought more ammunition this time, as well as new military uniforms, and promised to let those Rakshasa ghosts eat turtles when he goes back."
Cao Bianjiao said confidently.
"Don't be impatient, learn from Kong Youde to fight the East in Anshan City, and fight steadily."
Yang Chengying advised: "Only by being invincible can you control the enemy."
"I see."
Cao Bianjiao nodded, clenched his fists and said, "After all, the overall situation is important, as long as the south determines the world, the ministers will have enough confidence to fight in the north."
"That's exactly what you said, when you go back, you have to tell Wang Fuchen what I said."
Yang Chengying said: "Stay up for a while, people will eventually grow old, and there will be opportunities for you young people to show their skills." Look at the book
This sentence has a strong implication.
Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed: "The minister must live up to the king's expectations."
The armies of Liaodong began to prepare for war in full swing. It's not just new military uniforms and new weapons.
He also began to teach Nanyin in the army, learning the five major tactics of infantry, as well as survival skills in the wild.
There is also the military discipline of instilling the "Three Laws and Eight Precepts".
Everything is for the future to fight big battles and win battles.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong in the south lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot, causing a big disaster.
