Thirty-one people, Guo Dajing confirmed that he had counted correctly, but was still a little puzzled. Among them, there was also a general named Wang Guozhong, who introduced himself as being sent by Lushun guerrilla Li Weiluan to learn from Guo Baihu.
The people who came were all soldiers, but this guy was an official. Guo Dajing couldn't guess what Li Weiluan meant. In casual conversation, it was okay for the kingdom to fall again, and Liu Qishi also gave him a hint.
So, Guo Dajing divided the thirty people into three small teams. He, Liu Qishi, and Wang Guozhong each led ten people.
Lushun and Jinzhou, Guo Dajing still hopes to develop there in the future. Having a good relationship with Li Weiluan and paying a little attention to Wang Guozhong may be of great use in the future.
After eating and drinking, and resting for a while, the Dongjiang Army set off in batches and retreated to Longchuan.
Now, Guo Dajing and his men are under the command of Chen Jisheng. This is normal. Although the troops belong to various islands or regions, they are now a whole.
According to Guo Dajing's expertise, this team was arranged to be the last to evacuate. It also served as a sentinel to guard against enemy pursuit.
Taking advantage of the opportunity before leaving, Guo Dajing rode his horse and wandered around the city again, doing the job of "picking up rags".
Bottles, cans, and some discarded caltrops and pottery bombs on the city wall were all quietly collected by him in the space.
At that time, tribulus bombs or other explosives were not taken seriously. The reason was simple: black powder was not powerful enough and was not very lethal to the enemy.
You can refer to the home-made grenades and landmines during the Anti-Japanese War. Those filled with explosives were fine, but those using black powder were difficult to cause fatal damage to the Japanese, and most of them suffered only scratches.
Sometimes black powder mines exploded, producing both fire and smoke, but only caused some burns to the Japanese, making them as smokey as the Stove Lord.
As for hand grenades, they explode into two pieces. Unless there is no other alternative, soldiers don't like to use them.
You must know that the period of the Anti-Japanese War was completely in the era of hot weapons. The Japanese did not have armor, and the damage caused by black powder explosives was still like this, let alone the protective equipment that now wears armor.
But in Guo Dajing's view, there is still room for improvement in the power of black powder.
The stupidest way is to make up for the lack of quality and quantity. If you increase the amount of gunpowder, it will be over. The effects of small firecrackers and marijuana mines are definitely different!
There are also advanced methods, such as raw material purification and granulation. Xiyi's pharmaceutical technology at that time could reach this level.
It’s not about worshiping foreigners, nor belittling oneself. Learn from those who are advanced and use them, and buy from those who are good at it. Guo Dajing’s nature is pragmatism and appropriationism.
What he wanted to use was the mobilization of all people as soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War.
The first step was to make landmines. At that time, the Military Industry Department of the Eighth Route Army decided to mobilize the public to manufacture landmines widely in view of their simple structure.
Landmine training classes were held, technical cadres were dispatched to explain the knowledge of landmine structures and blasting, and some pamphlets were compiled and distributed to everyone.
After these trained backbones returned to their villages, they held training classes. Even uneducated farmers could make landmines by following simple instructions.
Especially when compiled into a jingle, it is easier for the people to learn and understand. "A piece of bluestone egg, drill a hole in the middle, put four taels of medicine in it, install the explosive tube, seal the mouth with loess, put the thread outside, prepare it in advance, everywhere
Everything will be fine..."
Of course, in order for others to learn it, one must first become proficient in it. Guo Dajing planned to take the time to make a pull-out mine, which did not require an open flame to light. It was convenient, practical and concealed.
When it comes to explosive tubes, their technical content is not very high. During the Anti-Japanese War, ordinary people could make them themselves, so how high-tech could they be?
Guo Dajing knew the principle of explosive tubes, so it was not difficult to make them. He made several of them in space and the experiment was successful.
The production of explosive tubes was not limited by the level of production technology at the time, but by people's ideas and scientific knowledge.
There were self-igniting landmines in ancient times. The principle was similar to the original flintlock gun, using steel wheels and flints. However, the technological requirements, manufacturing level and cost of this igniting device were very high, making it difficult to be widely used.
Flintlock guns in history have also gone through a similar process. It was not until the emergence of a simpler and more effective impact type that the obstacles to mass production and equipping the army were cleared.
Moreover, Guo Dajing also has some ways to increase the power of black powder explosives. If you are not prepared now, you will be blinded when you use them.
However, Guo Dajing had to admire the Dongjiang Army's ability to clean and loot. This was a habit developed through long and hard struggle, and there was really not much left for him to use.
Well, judging from the results of the seizures, the Dongjiang Army was advantaged by the massacre and looting of the city. This is really like you cast the net and I will fish, you plant the rice and I will harvest the rice.
As the large groups of people gradually withdrew, the city became increasingly empty. Guo Dajing went from door to door and continued to "pick up rags."
Until he saw Fujino Masaru and his son in a small house.
"This - your home?"
Guo Dajing was a little embarrassed. Looking at the father and son, they seemed to be reminiscing sadly.
Maybe this is someone's old house. It's so embarrassing to go to someone else's house to pick up something. I'm still carrying someone else's vase in my hand!
Fujino nodded slightly, sighed, and said: "It was before, now and in the future, who knows?"
Fujino Masa's son, Fujino Hide, turned his back, wiped his eyes, and his thin shoulders twitched twice.
"Jianlu could not last more than two or three months, so he retreated." Guo Dajing put the vase in his hand on the table next to him and comforted him: "I will come back then."
Fujinomasa forced a smile and said: "Things and people have changed, and we can never go back!"
After saying that, he pointed to the vase and said: "If you like this, you can take it. Whatever you like in the house can be taken away. Instead of being thrown away or broken, it is the best if you can use it.
Home."
"This -" Guo Dajing scratched his head, feeling even more embarrassed, and explained: "I want to break it into pieces and grind it into powder to use as a fuse."
Fujino's eyes widened. He thought he had got the thing, but he didn't expect that he would be crushed to death. It would be worse than being broken into pieces!
Fujino Hide also turned his head in astonishment and looked at Guo Dajing. He didn't expect there to be such a real person. Why don't you tell us what you want to do? Why don't you let us know?
"Fuze -" A curious inquiry suddenly came from outside the door, and Zheng Fengshou stepped in, his ears too sharp.
Zheng Fengshou came closer, looking forward to it and asking with some confusion: "Is it related to the bombing of the city? How do you use porcelain? What a strange fuse!"
Guo Dajing blinked, thinking that it would be okay to tell Zheng Fengshou. After all, we were fighting Jianlu, so it would be good to kill a few more.
