~.-~ "Your Highness, this musket is extremely powerful. If it can form an army, its profit is quite good. According to the last general, it is like a horse and can be fought in an infantry manner. If it is convenient, the last general is willing to try it first. Please
Your Highness, please be sure!"
Li He has always taken advantage of it. Seeing that the musket is so powerful, his heart immediately itched. He had made some noise in front of the officers and soldiers of the First Regiment, but as soon as he followed Li Xian in
The barracks immediately couldn't hold back. They had just entered the seat. Before the soldiers could serve tea, he could not help but stand up and asked in a fascination.
Well, this kid's fox's tail is revealed again! When he heard Li He speak so seriously, he completely forgot that the nickname "Mu Jun" was taken from him, Li He. Li Xian couldn't help but want to laugh, but he was a little
I didn't laugh much, just because this is the headache for Li Xian - the power of the needle gun is good, both in terms of range and power are quite amazing. The problem is that it is difficult to prepare for the army.
Knowing that a gun costs as much as twenty cents, this is not too difficult. After all, the Li Xian family has a great business, and no matter how much it is, it is not too difficult to make hundreds of thousands of cents of money.
Even though Li Xian was very short of money at this time, he was not short of this hundreds of thousands of chunks of money. The real problem lies in the production process!
The structure of a needle gun is actually not too complicated, and there are only four major components: body tube, bolt, transmitter and butt stock. Among them, the butt stock is easy to deal with. There are many mountains and forests in Hexi, and there is no shortage of trees and enough manpower.
, It is easy to build a butt stock according to the process, but the other three parts are not that easy. Not to mention that there are no modern machinery such as machine tools, they can only be built by hand. This is not easy, but after all, there is still assembly line
The operation can be arranged in a coordinated manner, and there is no need to worry about the output being unable to improve. The real trouble is that the quality of steel is difficult to guarantee - there is iron ore in Hexi, and the refined iron produced is quite large, and its texture is enough for forging swords.
It is somewhat useless to use it for large-scale manufacturing of firearms. According to the existing steelmaking process, it is not enough to be used for making gun barrels without a hundred refining. This is the bottleneck that restricts the large-scale production of firearms.
Li Xian has ordered the research institute to overcome this difficulty with all his might, but it is difficult to find a proper way for a while. The current firearm production can only be trial-made on a small scale. Even so, due to the low proficiency of the technician,
The scrap rate is really too high, almost reaching a half to half ratio. Under such circumstances, Li Xian really dared not launch a large scale, which is exactly the most important thing that Li Xian has become a group in the first wave.
The basic roots are, of course, there are several bottlenecks in the production of bullets. The most important thing is the production of smokeless gunpowder - the nitric acid necessary for the preparation of nitrocellulose can only be produced on a small scale in the laboratory.
The right catalyst has not been found yet. If you blame it, Li Xian was not good at chemistry when he was studying, and there were too many missing chemistry books he compiled, which led to researchers in the research institute only exploring and moving forward.
Only God knows when a reasonable craft can be developed.
"This gun is too long, and Ma Zhan has a different kind of firearm. Don't worry, I will not lose the blame for your Hehuang Army."
Although guns are difficult to build, they have already had a considerable foundation. With the maturity of the technology, difficulties in various places are not unsolvable. Li Xian did not want to make it public. Of course, he could not treat He unfairly.
The direct troops of the Huang Army, a direct army, gave a vague guarantee.
"Your Highness, is the power of that firearm comparable to that of this musket?"
Although he received Li Xian's guarantee, Li He refused to give up and was still wandering around the needle gun.
"It's almost done."
Seeing Li He's anxious look, Li Xian suddenly became a little interested in teasing him, so he deliberately kept him in a silence.
"Ah, that's still a bad thing. Your Highness, the combat effectiveness of our Hehuang Army has always been the best in the world. You either don't need it or you need it to use it. Hehe, Your Highness, or these guns will be the first
Is it okay to give it to the end?"
Li He has always shown his face with a firm and even arrogant face outside, but in front of Li Xian, he is a shameless person. After seeing the power of a needle-shooting gun today, the itch in his heart has become very big. That's it
He refused to let these needle guns fall into the hands of the first regiment. Even though there were actually only twelve sample guns at this time, Li He didn't want to let them go, so he took the effort of being silly and rubbed them hard.
He pestered Li Xian to the ground.
"You kid are still the same, and you don't forget to pick up any good things in your own bowl. You're so afraid of you, Ziming, take the pistol."
Li He was so arrogant that Li Xian couldn't help but be angry and funny, and was too lazy to go down with him. Then he laughed and cursed, raised his hand, and ordered Liu Ziming.
"promise!"
The Hexi military factory has just begun to be built. Not to mention the molding process, even the factory has not yet been established. At present, all the guns are specially created by researchers from the institute in the laboratory, except for twelve needle strikes.
In addition to the gun, there are only four handguns available. I won’t mention the needle-striking gun. Those elders are all in the bag of the first group. As for the four handguns, Liu Ziming was just careful.
I thought I could use one for myself, but I didn't expect that before he could ask for it, he could kill Li He, "Cheng Yaojin" like Li He, which made Liu Ziming depressed
It's bad, the problem is that Li Xian has already spoken. Liu Ziming has no choice but to respond in a silence, and reluctantly untied the gun holster from his waist and handed it to Li along with the bullet bag.
After a few days of showing off, he turned around and glared at Li He fiercely to show his dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, Your Highness, how is this pistol used? Can you please try your hand?"
When there are advantages to take, Li He usually has a good temper. Even though Liu Ziming's eyes were wide open, Li He didn't care at all. He pretended not to see it. He came to Li Xian with a slanderous face, and was extremely envious.
He stared at the pistol on the few pistols, but swallowed vigorously, and made a request with a smile.
"This is called a revolver gun. The usage is very simple, please look at it."
Li Xian was in a good mood at this time and didn't care about Li He's hippie face. He reached out to take out a strange-looking gun from the holster - it was weird, that's because the gun was too big.
Not to mention that the revolver that was smaller than the later generations, the bullet casing part was so bulging that it was almost like a ball. There was no way. It was not that Li Xian didn't want to build a revolver in the true sense, but what about the technology
Insufficient reserves, as far as the current technological level is concerned, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in manufacturing technology without a big leap of ten or eight years, so it is only a stupid guy like a musket.
"Put on the bullet, turn on the insurance, aim at the target, pull the trigger, you can hit it wherever you can aim within thirty steps. As for the power, I won't say anything. If you want to try, I will go outside the tent with Ziming.
.”
Li Xian said, while familiarly taking out six large paper-shell bullets from the bullet bag, stuffing one into the bullet compartment, and then turning the bullet compartment, and bounced the security on the gun.
However, he did not open the insurance, and raised his hand and glanced casually to demonstrate, and then threw the pistol into Li He's arms.
"Ha, that's great. Thank you, Your Highness. I'll try it."
As soon as the gun was obtained, Li He could not bear it. He screamed excitedly, regardless of whether Liu Ziming was happy or not, and grabbed it and rushed out of the barracks.
"This brat is still so uneasy!" Li Xian was very beloved of Li He, not caring about his rude behavior at all. He just laughed and cursed, and then turned his eyes to the side that was standing silently.
Xiao Sanlang.
"Your Highness, your Highness is entrusted by Your Highness to train elite troops, but failed to perform his duties, so that there will be a group fight. This is why you will lose your responsibility and ask your Highness to punish you."
The previous group fight was a big deal. Agutai, who was involved in the accident, was already fined 100 military sticks. Xiao Sanlang couldn't help but worry about whether his own punishment would be heavier. After all, the first one was the first to do it.
The group side turned his eyes when he saw Li Xian, and he quickly bowed and asked to avenge himself.
"Although this matter is heavily blamed on Agutai, I have failed to restrain my subordinates, and I have also had a problem. I have always been a clear reward and punishment. Afterwards, I went to the Military Law Office to receive fifty military sticks. This matter was revealed. The two armies have been
There must be no disputes between them, otherwise, don’t blame the lonely ones for being merciless!”
Xiao Sanlang was able to serve as the leader of the First Regiment because of Zhang Jianzhi's strong advice. Li Xian himself actually had some doubts about this. However, after observing the training level of the First Regiment today, Li
Most of the doubts in Xian's heart were dispelled. In a good mood, he didn't want to deal with Xiao Sanlang again. Besides, Li Xian himself did not actually oppose the small friction between the armies. After all, the army without blood and courage is not there.
It may become a real strong army, but this matter can only be acquiesced, but it cannot be publicly advocated. If such a big mess occurs, the punishment you should give will naturally be given. Otherwise, there will be no way to discuss military rules and regulations.
.
"I hope, I will follow your orders!"
Xiao Sanlang is not afraid of being beaten by military sticks, but is afraid of losing the leadership of the First Regiment. Especially after seeing the power of muskets, he does not want to lose such a position that can definitely be left in history. At this time, he heard Li Xian.
The punishment was just to raise it high and let it go gently. The hanging heart fell to the ground immediately and quickly bowed to take the order.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Sanlang has been leading the army for more than three months. Do you have any experience with this?"
The first purpose of Li Xian's arrival here is to cheer up the first group. The second purpose is to touch Xiao Sanlang's bottom to see if he really has the ability to lead the first group, although he has been able to fuck him before.
It can be seen that Xiao Sanlang has some skills, but the existing practice alone is not enough to fully prove Xiao Sanlang's strategic and tactical level. Li Xianzi will not let him go when he is due to the assessment.
"Your Highness has clearly understood that since the last general led the army, he has never dared to slack off. Although he has only been more than three months, he has some ideas and does not know whether it is feasible or not. I would like to ask your Highness for advice."
Xiao Sanlang was obviously prepared for this assessment. After hearing Li Xian's words, he immediately reached out and took out a wrinkled booklet from his pocket in his military uniform, held it in both hands, and handed it to Li Xian.
"oh?"
Seeing that the booklet was quite thick and there were many wrinkles on it, it was obviously something Xiao Sanlang carried with him, Li Xian's curiosity immediately arose, reached out to take it, and read it carefully...
