Through comparative experiments, we determined that the conclusion that "as long as the production of shotgun can be optimized, the output of airtight and round enough projectiles can achieve a good hit rate even if it is more than 100 steps away."

Chen Shuren made a quick decision and arranged for the craftsmen to start trial production of sub-caliber lead bullets that were round enough.

On the other hand, he further tested the effect of shotgun armor-breaking and further military spy.

The results of the subsequent armor-breaking experiment were not very unexpected, everything was just right:

After switching to shotgun, the killing effect of targets without armor, or even light armor targets with only layered hard cotton but no iron sheets, or bamboo armor of Japanese pirates, is very good. Even if it is a small lead, as long as it can be caught, it will at least be seriously injured.

With the sanitary conditions at that time, even if you don’t die, you will have a high probability of infection.

As for cotton armor lined with iron sheets, shotguns really cannot break the armor.

In order to analyze the quantitative and precise analysis, Shen Shuren even conducted a multi-rental comparison experiment on the weight of the shotgun from small to large, and finally found that the weight of the shotgun was close to two cents to have a good armor-breaking rate.

This means that using traditional bird guns or Lumi guns, even if you use a shotgun of this size, you will only have two to three at most. Compared with single-headed bullets, the fire density does not increase much, and it is basically meaningless.

Therefore, if you have a shotgun and break the iron armor, you don’t need to consider it for the time being.

In the above-mentioned related experiments, Shen Shuren asked someone to take various types of scrapped armor, tie it to the body of the newly slaughtered pig, and then fire it at the armored pig. The data is basically reliable.

After the test, the contaminated meat near the lead bullet was cut off a little, and the remaining pigs could be sent to the soldiers for food. Even if there were traces of lead elements not cleaned, the soldiers would not care about it.

This trace lead toxicity will only be manifested after people get old. In the late Ming Dynasty, even the Guanyin soil was eaten, and the soldiers would not live long.

...

After conducting research and deployment of weapons and tactics, the next key is to understand your enemies.

There is no best weapon in the world, only the most suitable weapon for combat in front of you.

Shen Shuren has no way to use shotguns to take into account both the fire density and the armor-breaking, so he can only expect the enemy to not have too many heavy armor.

Fortunately, he ordered his subordinates to do things in a multi-line manner, and they were quite organized in modern project management, so there would be no bottlenecks such as the situation.

As early as the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, Chen Shuren asked Chen Fu and others to investigate the suspicious recruits collected during the training of the delegation.

The specific way of investigation is nothing more than isolation and review, repeated fatigue interrogation and investigation, and then intimidation with the prisoner's dilemma.

Although Chen Shuren had never learned criminal investigation in his previous life, he had enough common sense and had watched many detective films, police and gangster films. He took out a little bit of a claw to deal with ancient illiterate works, which was more than enough.

After two days, Chen Fu caught seven or eight detailed works from the dozens of suspicious people. After severely interrogating, it was confirmed that it was indeed sent by Liu Xiyao.

These fine works often have a common feature: they look strong and even have good martial arts skills, but they just lie that hunters can't shoot arrows, and liar that dock workers can't swim.

As for screening the remaining twenty suspicious people, although there is also a problem of "skills and identity inconsistent", the review confirmed that it is just a idle person who is just a slutty person who is making a living.

During the review process, it is certainly inevitable that these people will be tortured, but it is not unfair. Although they are not doing it in detail, they simply report a fake identity and want to join the army and pay a lot, which is also a big or small fault.

With the severity of military law, it is perfectly appropriate to beat it. After the fight, you will definitely not let it go. So let it stay in the camp to do some coolie infrastructure work and give it a full meal.

In the future, we will slowly observe whether we have become honest, whether we have learned our skills well, and then become formal combatants if we have repentant.

...

It was already August 18th.

Early in the morning, Chen Shuren had no time to care about those gangsters, so he only brought Liu Xiyao's careful work to interrogate himself. If it was not the turn for the time being, he would continue to be isolated and detained to prevent collusion.

Beside Chen Shuren, Chen Fu and a row of powerful servants of Kong Wu were standing with weapons, and the security work was very complete.

The first one to be taken up was a tall young man with many signs of being beaten.

"What name? How long does it take to be a thief? Any position?" Chen Shuren was too lazy to read the file. He asked more questions, and he also found the rhythm and gave him more advice.

"Liu San, who has been a thief for two years, has served as the chief of the whistle." Xiaozhao replied humbly, and it seemed that he had been completely defeated.

Chen Shuren: "Let me tell me, how is the military preparation of Liu thief? Can the military armor and armor be complete for the soldiers?"

The original weapon and equipment level of Liu Xiyao's army was roughly a bit clearer, so it would not be too dark to see any intelligence. However, at the end of last year, Huanggang County was defeated and the former Prime Minister Yan was killed, the inventory of the Huangzhou Prefecture's military inventory was also seized by Liu Xiyao.

Although Chen Shuren had some accounts obtained by Zhao Yunfan, he didn't dare to believe them all. Who knew how serious the deficit in the military accounts in various places in the late Ming Dynasty and how much damage was during the battle.

These data should be directly asked to the prisoners, and the first-hand information should be more accurate.

Liu Sanwei replied timidly: "I only know that the division where I am is, except for the division that always has a set of iron-blocked cotton armor, the other few whistles always have cotton armor and leather armor that do not have iron-blocked cotton armor. Ordinary soldiers can just catch whatever they want.

Knives, guns, bows and crossbows are enough, but most of the arrows are bald and damaged. As for muskets, there seem to be some in the army, but we have never touched these whistles. We don’t know the rest of the troops.”

Shen Shuren turned his head slightly and lowered his voice: "Have you remembered it?"

Chen Fu nodded slightly beside him: "I've remembered it."

Chen Shuren nodded and continued to question Liu San:

"Okay, I will ask others again in a while. If you say something different from what you say, someone among you will inevitably be beaten. There is another question, what's wrong with you this time?"

Liu San did not dare to resist, and said like a bamboo tube: "Liu Shuai... Oh no, I mean Liu thief sent us here. He said that Qishui was recruiting village warriors, and wanted to see if he could sneak in and gain trust. He would act as an internal supporter when siege in the future and open the city gate."

Chen Shuren raised his eyebrows and said in a stern manner: "Liu Xiyao is coming to attack the city? When?"

Liu San showed a bitter look on his face: "I really don't know these things, I'm just a whistleman."

Chen Shuren felt a stern: "Forget it, then let's answer the last question - who else is above you here, or who are you going to listen to?"

Liu San subconsciously shook his body and quickly denied: "The young man doesn't know what the adults mean. We are fighting each other in detail, and we don't listen to anyone."

Chen Shuren waved his hand angrily, Chen Fu understood it, and immediately passed by a whip, whipping it out, and it made his skin burst.

After Chen Shuren finished the fight, he took a scarf and covered his nose with a casual look and said:

"If you want to win the door, you can rely on seven or eight people. Besides, you don't know how you exposed it yet, right? You are not afraid to tell you now. Anyway, you don't have the chance to collude with me.

I caught you just because you lied that the dock labourers did not know how to swim, and that the hunters were not good at shooting skills, so I caught you. However, I believe that there are definitely many talented people in the detailed work. Now only two days have passed, and those people must have not been exposed.

You are afraid of offending others and want to protect your original comrades, so I won't stop you. But as long as any other quarantined works cannot withstand torture, I will help my official catch those versatile works that have not been exposed.

Then, I will definitely kill all the other tight-lipped ones, leaving only the obedient ones. If you don’t want to die, just bet on whether your original robes are all hard-working!”

After Chen Shuren asked, Liu San's face changed drastically. Chen Fu, who was beside him, actually showed a look of shyness.

It was still too time to think of it, and I hadn't had time to think of it: Since I could catch such stupid and meticulous works, those with good acting and versatile skills must have not been exposed, and I still mixed in the recruits!

I didn't expect to follow the clues as soon as possible, and I was really ashamed.

Next time, the young master will leave this kind of interrogation to himself, which will make him more careful and experienced.

Chen Fu was still blaming himself. Liu San below could no longer bear the fright, so he directly reported some names and described his appearance characteristics.

Chen Shuren gave Chen Fu a wink, and he immediately went to the camp with Chen Shuren's warrant, and soon he caught more than 30 people.

Of course, this time he learned his lesson and did not bring everyone together, so the more than thirty newly captured works did not know which robes had been exposed and which had not been exposed yet.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, that's just a good thing. Since you want to grab the door, only seven or eight people will come to grab the snatch? Only thirty or forty people can you barely take a gamble. It's a bit like Zhang Xianzhong's party."

In history, Zhang Xianzhong was a thief, but he did a lot of such things. Zhang Xianzhong pretended to kill the vassal kings in Xiangyang, which is a classic example of the battle.

Chen Shuren sat firmly on Diaoyutai and was very satisfied with the latest results. "Go, everyone beat him first and then ask. This kind of fierce and stubborn person is not so easy to kill."

Chen Shuren made a pot of tea himself, took a book, and read half of it, Chen Fu came back with a big man covered in bruises:

"Young Master, this should be a big fish. It is a general in Liu Xiyao's army. In the detailed work sent this time, even if it is not the highest status, it is almost the same."

Chen Shuren didn't like the bloody smell on the other person's body, so he ordered Chen Fu: "Come and ask, why did Liu Xiyao target me, when would he have a murderous intention? Tell me and let him die.

If he doesn't say anything, he will inform Liu Xiyao in the future, saying that he failed to cheat the door because this guy surrendered to the government army and Liu Xiyao will kill his whole family."

Even though the thief army chief was a bit fierce and stubborn, he was still useless to deal with it like this.

After a while, Chen Fu came back again: "Young Master, I asked clearly. Ten days ago, a group of local wealthy families wanted to cross the mountains and go to Luotian County, hoping to find a way out from there to leave Huangzhou, but was caught by Liu Xiyao's scout.

The group of local big-name households were actually the close friends of Yuan Zhongyi, who were dead. They suspected that Yuan Zhongyi's death was related to you, the young master, and wanted to escape and report to Yuan Jixian Yuan Daotai. After being arrested, they said that they knew the important military information and were willing to surrender to Liu Xiyao, just to avoid death.

Liu Xiyao learned about the recent situation in Qizhou from those people, and also learned that you are expanding the group training recently, so he sent a detailed work to sneak in and gain a foothold, and then cooperate with the inside and outside."

After hearing this, Chen Shuren did not remove the joy of internal troubles, but frowned: "This is not a good thing. If these detailed works went smoothly, maybe Liu Xiyao would attack in advance. We have only been practicing for a few days, and the new ammunition has not had time to produce much.

But if Liu Xiyao knew that he had finished his work in the game, he might give up the attack; but he might also think that I was a tough guy and wanted to stifle me at all costs when I was weak, so he would still be intensified and attacked.

If there is a way to stabilize Liu Xiyao and use the tricks to make him feel that "everything is in control, but there are only a little twists and turns, and it will take a little more time to slowly gain the trust of the guardian." That would be great...

That is to ensure that we hope that Liu Xiyao will attack quickly, and we hope that he will attack slowly, and we hope that he will attack slowly."

Chen Fu scratched his head next to him, feeling it was unlikely: "Young Master, this is impossible, right?"

Chen Shuren touched his sighing stubborn man: "Let me think about it."
