Chapter 167 The Golden Leopard is trying hard to create the Land War King
When the model peasant soldier in front of him practiced all these requirements into habitual movements, the temperament of the entire team was completely different from that of the infantry in the chaotic cold weapon era.
They did not have the exaggerated red tassel heads and other decorations of the strong army at this time. Everyone looked ordinary, holding the same weapon and wearing the same clothes, but from the horizontal and vertical directions, it seemed to be used
In the queue drawn by Mo Dou, from the tactical actions that everyone can make without hesitation, it reflects another style that is completely different from the soldiers of the cold weapon era who advocates courage.
—Calm and professional, the entire team is like a moving murder machine, just like the spinning machine that rotates day and night in the Sunjiazhuang factory, making people feel simple but daunting.
Everyone present saw the infantry lined up and thought it was a well-trained unit, but everyone was still unsure of what the muskets would perform on the battlefield.
But the current performance is enough for the Supervisor to approve the next stage of training funds for the musketman.
Only Lu Zhishen nodded after watching for a long time and silently said, "The world is invincible."
Sun Xin looked at Lu Zhishen in surprise, and unexpectedly, Master Lu could give such a high evaluation.
Lu Zhishen just stared at the army's every move, as if thinking about how to break it if he led a team and encountered this musketeer.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Zhishen shook his head again and made another judgment: "Even if I take the strongest old soldier in the Western Army, I can't meet this team one by one on the battlefield."
After Lu Zhishen said this, everyone present was even more shocked. Even Lu Tingyu was quite surprised. Lu Zhishen was a subordinate of the old master of the old general of Yan'an. Although his official position was not large, he was a veteran among the veterans.
It is not certain whether he can be a general, but if he only talks about the strength of a single soldier, he is considered the best in the army in this era, which also gives him the confidence to dare to be lawless under Xiaozhong's husband.
If Lu Zhishen hadn't beat Zheng Guanxi to death, but had just wanted to teach him a lesson indiscriminately, he would have beaten him.
Now he actually gave his team such a strong evaluation. Except for Sun Xin's eyes, everyone else was a little unbelievable.
After the Supervisory Council inspected the training of the peasant soldiers, Sun Xin came to the stage to speak. He knew that this kind of speech would be unpleasant to say too much in the army. So after saying a few words, he clapped his hands and sent food to the peasant soldiers.
The supervisor of the Supervisory Council also had a meal with the peasants. Even the tables were lined up next to the peasants' tables. After too many people could not be squeezed, Sun Xin even walked around the venue with a job, talking to the shopkeeper and that
People talk about the growth of crops this year.
The supervisors saw it, and some people thought that this was a means to win people's hearts by taking off their clothes and promoting food when leading the army. But Sun Xin turned around and told the peasant soldiers that everyone would have to eat in the future.
If you want to eat together, no one is allowed to have a small meal.
Although Sun Xin knew that his army would definitely not be a real revolutionary team like later generations, Sun Xin himself knew how bad the atmosphere brought by the machine stove was. The senior generals secretly made some tricks and no one noticed it.
If even battalion-level cadres were given small training, it would be troublesome when they really wanted to go to war. Although it was just a war in the era of Black Powder, Sun Xin did not want to train a group of noble officers.
A professional officer must have a good honor as a professional officer, but this honor is by no means shown by comparison with soldiers.
After reviewing the military training outline, the members of the Supervisory Council followed Sun Xin to the most remote watchtower in the farm.
Looking at the cannon hole that had been built up on the building, Lu Zhishen asked curiously: "What is this?"
Sun Xin glanced at Tao Zongwang, and Tao Zongwang explained with a smile: "This place is a cannon position for firing fire."
Nowadays, when it comes to "cannons", most officers would think they were "cannons" like trenchers, but Lu Zhishen and others knew that Sun Xin spent a lot of money and labor to make bronze cannons. Surprisingly, it has now spent more than 300 cents on the Supervisory Council.
Sun Xin originally planned to use his own private property to cast a cannon, and he could afford it. However, Sun Xin later thought about how much he built it alone was a bit inappropriate, so he signaled the supervisory board to approve the money. The Supervisory Council has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the manufacturing of these two cannons. They are all borrowed money from the whole village’s shopkeeper fund and a lot of labor in the shopkeeper’s work, so these two bronze cannons are the two bronze cannons. It is the product of everyone's joint stocks.
Sun Xin held 70% of the shares, while Sun Jiazhuang's merchants accounted for 30%.
Even these 30% of the shares were already making fun and the corners of their mouths were blisters.
Sun Xin has money, but the money in the Supervisory Council is not as good as the financial resources of Sun Xin, the owner of the big house. After seeing the money for making cannons, Lehe ran directly to Tang Long to sit, suspected that the blacksmith shop The money must be spent so quickly by wasting raw materials.
Lehe has been watching the experiments on the spot for several times in the past half month, looking at the burning bronze pouring, and detailed statistics of the raw materials consumed throughout the process were used to compare the records, resulting in his eyes being burned by copper water. Red, shed tears in the wind.
Lu Zhishen said: "Can this cannon be shot on the top of the watchtower and into the streets?"
In order to allow muskets with worrying range in this era to cover the entire street, the height of the watchtower building in Sunjiazhuang is not short. According to Lu Zhishen's idea, if you want to project something accurately at such a high height, then at least It must be achieved by the best divine arm crossbow in the Song army.
He really doubted whether the bronze cannon was of such use.
Sun Xin smiled and said, "Money Leopard, this is your business."
Tang Long, who had not spoken, took a large manuscript paper from his apprentice and transferred it out. When he opened the manuscript paper, he proudly recited the various parameters of his bronze cannon.
When everyone in the Supervisory Association heard the terrifying range, they all looked incredible.
As a military authority in the Supervisory Council, Lu Zhishen asked directly: "Where is the cannon? Can you give it a try?"
"Now put it at the foot of the mountain, just wait for you!"
Tang Long was very attentive. The supervisory committee only saw that training hundreds of peasant soldiers took time and effort, but few people knew that his research on artillery manufacturing was truly experiencing the test of blood and fire.
Originally, Sun Xin planned to design and study cast iron cannons with Tang Long. After all, cast iron cannons were a more popular technology in later generations and were still used until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Although the bronze cannons are of good quality, their cost is too much Gao, but after a few tests, the two gave up directly. Not to mention the problem of the control of molten iron of thousands of degrees, Sun Xin thought that the bronze casting cannon should be simpler and even tossed the two of them.
He also has to admit that the development of science and technology must be down-to-earth and can pursue small steps and fast running, but it is not very possible to develop leaps from scratch.
Now Sun Xin can only plan to build a bronze cannon artillery first, and then start the research and development of cast iron cannons after having a series of war experience and more mature bronze cannon production processes.
