Chapter 166
"Ten thousand pro-army households, or I lead it myself, and the two pro-army are under the command of both of them, so let Guo Sheng and Lu Fang do it. "
"Four cavalry households, there is not enough horses, first allocate one infantry to command, and set up a rack of forty thousand households. Lin Chong, Shi Wengong, Hu Yanzhuo, and Qin Ming were respectively served. "
"The three water camps first set up a shelf of 10,000 households, and Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi served as the water camp for 10,000 households. "
"The infantry is organized into fourteen infantry Wanhu, Hua Rong, Zhu Tong, Lu Da, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, Shi Jin, Lei Heng, Sun Xin, Sun Li, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Su Ding, Luan Tingyu, Huang Xin and others. "
Liu Tang, Bai Sheng, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Yu Baosi, Deng Fei, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Du Xing, Zhou Tong, Li Zhong, Zheng Tianshou, Le He, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, Ou Peng, Li Gon, Duan Jingzhu, Shi En and others were all commanded. "
With Wang Lun's arrangement, Li Ying and the others groaned while agreeing.
The general pattern has not changed.
Like Du Qian, Song Wan, Zhu Gui, Zhu Fu, Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, Tang Long, Jiao Ting, Meng Kang, Li Ying, Cao Zheng, An Daoquan, Huang Fuduan, Zhu Wu, Xiao Rang, Jiang Jing, Jin Dajian, these people are still in the civil official system like Li Gang, Zong Ze, Qin Hui and others.
They did not directly lead the troops before, but after the "four or five zeros" after this large-scale army expansion, Wang Lun did not have the idea and plan to ask them to lead the troops.
Liang Shan has fought a lot of battles, and there are many ordinary heroes at the level of commanders.
Sufficient.
Some of these professionals are not very high in martial arts.
The soldiers on the battlefield are fierce and dangerous, and it would be a pity if they died in battle.
For example, Zhu Fu, who is now doing well in the Military Intelligence Department, asked him to be the commander of the capital or lead thousands of households into battle?
Forget it!
Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, the vegetable gardeners, are also specialists, and it is definitely not possible to lead troops to fight.
"The big boss arranged it very well. "
"That's it. "
The people in the room smiled lightly.
Meng Kang said with a smile: "From February to June, in four months, we will mobilize 3 million people to serve in the state road, repair the state road from Yizhou to Yuncheng, and then repair the county road in each county, and at the same time repair the mine road to the mine, and dig a large number of superficial mines, as well as build smelting blast furnaces, warehouses, as well as spare large cargo wagons and related cargo ships, all of which will be completed, at least 3 million yuan.
" But after it was done, the coal and iron produced every year could not be used up, and our construction division could not use up all kinds of fine iron goods and weapons and armor desperately.
In the second half of the year, when there is enough fine iron, we will try to cast the large artillery needed by the big bosses......
"
This news is also exciting enough.
Due to the blessing of "heavenly craftsmanship", the research and development and trial production of granular gunpowder are not too difficult, and this thing is not high-tech in terms of technology, but the process of manufacturing has improved.
At the end of the Middle Ages, in addition to the favorable factor of the decline in the cost of gunpowder, there was also a gunpowder technology that also played a role in promoting the development and promotion of firearms, that is, gunpowder granulation technology, which could increase the power of gunpowder technology also appeared in Europe around 1400, which was a revolution in gunpowder technology and an important turning point in the history of firearms.
Wang Lun just pushed this technology forward by 300 years.
Prior to this, people used powdered gunpowder as gunpowder (propellant) when using firearms, and there were many disadvantages when using this form of gunpowder in combat, such as inconvenient transportation, uneven combustion, and easy moisture.
The technology of granulated gunpowder solves these problems.
First of all, after the bumpy transportation, the granulated gunpowder will also be layered, the largest particles will run to the bottom layer of the powder keg, and the smallest particles will run to the surface of the powder keg, but this will not affect the quality and use of gunpowder.
Secondly, granulated gunpowder is also much less hygroscopic than powdered gunpowder, because the ratio of surface area to volume of granular gunpowder is smaller, and less moisture is drawn from the air. In the Age of Discovery, the best granular gunpowder would also use a graphite polisher to polish off the pores on the gunpowder particles to reduce the hygroscopicity of gunpowder and extend the storage life.
Finally, because granular gunpowder is granular, even when pressed, they do not fit tightly to each other and do not form a "whole" like powdered black powder. The gap left between the granular gunpowder is convenient for oxygen to play a role in supporting the combustion of gunpowder, facilitating the diffusion of flames, making the combustion rate more uniform, and improving the efficiency of gunpowder combustion.
As long as activated carbon and bitumen are added, plus means such as pressing and shaking, it is quite easy to obtain granular black powder.
Historically, this process has taken hundreds of years, but in reality, with this awareness and a little understanding, it is quite easy to make.
With granular gunpowder, large artillery was put on the agenda in Yangsan.
This thing burns fast and has a lot of explosive power, and the power of one pound of granular gunpowder is equal to three pounds of powder on it.
This will allow you to make the most of the power of artillery.
It's like a tiger squat cannon, which can only hit thirty or forty steps now, and the farthest fifty steps.
In fact, at fifty paces, there is no power, and even if the opponent does not have armor, there is no way to seriously injure him.
But after using granular black powder, it is different, it can go up to 150 steps, and the lethality can be 100 steps.
Fifty to a hundred paces to kill and wound unarmored enemies.
Heavy armor can be broken within 50 steps.
This power has completely surpassed that of a crossbow.
Now the construction division is already reducing the production of crossbows.
Including the Divine Arm Bow.
It overlaps with the role of the Tiger Squat Cannon, and its power is far less than that of the Tiger Squat Cannon.
Only heavy crossbows with a range of 200 to 400 paces will continue to be produced.
Riding crossbows will also be produced, and the riding crossbows of the Song Dynasty are well-made, extremely ingenious, and are a good thing.
The tactic of the Bearer Army is to hold a crossbow in hand, fire it at close range, and then charge.
After rushing, reload your crossbow and return to suppress the enemy with your crossbow.
And then charge.
If you pass the level of riding, command, and array, this is the way of elite cavalry.
The elite cavalry of Liangshan is not inferior to the back soldiers, or they are all elite cavalry at the level of back soldiers, it is a pity not to use this tactic.
Now Wang Lun and the Construction Division can't make a good flintlock pistol anyway.
It's really hard.
It was only in 1630 that France had a qualified flintlock pistol, and it had been working hard for many years.
Later, various countries, including the Ming Dynasty, also began to copy or buy.
The flintlock pistol is an automatic fire, the dragon head holds the flint, after the trigger is pulled, the flint hits the iron sheet above the medicine pool, and the spark ignites the gunpowder in the medicine pool, and then the gunpowder in the medicine pool ignites the propellant in the barrel, and finally completes the launch.
But it has significant drawbacks.
Arquebuses are afraid of rain, but as long as it doesn't rain, the firing rate of arquebuses is basically 100 percent.....
Flintlock pistols will not work.
Luckily, three shots were fired, two shots were fired.
Bad luck shoots three shots and one shot.
The success rate of about 30 percent has been maintained for quite some time. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Afraid of strong winds, the faucet trigger will fail if it loosens slightly.
Flint is also the reason, many places can not get high-quality flint, there is no good flint, fire failure is inevitable.
And Huaxia lacks high-quality flint.
So a flintlock pistol is not a good choice.
At least for now, Wang Lun doesn't plan to do it.
The barrel is also a problem, it is necessary to have high-quality fine iron, roll it into a solid iron pipe layer by layer, and then slowly drill out of the chamber.
Even if there is a hydraulic drill pipe, it will take ten days and half a month, and the manual time is longer, at least one month.
It took a lot of time to get a large number of flintlock pistols with a range of about 100 paces.
It's not necessary.
In the future, he will win the world, from the musket gun to the arquebus, and then to the flintlock pistol, and slowly step by step to take the road of firearms steadily.
There is no rush now.
It's really time to cast a cannon.
Compared to arquebuses and flintlock pistols, artillery is really much simpler.
Whether it is a mud mold method or a wax loss method, it will work.
It's best to have a lot of bronze, and it's better to use bronze as an artillery material. []
It is more stable, less prone to explosion, and more likely to withstand high temperatures than iron cannons.
But the problem is that the Great Song Dynasty lacks copper.
Huaxia is a copper-poor country, not that there is no copper, but there is no high-quality copper, and the output is not large, and many veins have been mined in deep wells.
The mining industry of the Song Dynasty can be said to have beaten the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is not a fraction of the Song Dynasty to tie these two wastes together.
The Ming Dynasty did not have a ban on mining, but it has not been very interested in mining, because the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty did not cooperate, and mining was a loss of money.
Later, the official mines were basically abandoned, and all of them were converted into private mines.
In this way, the mining industry also flourished for a while.
But it can't be compared with the Great Song Dynasty.
And the Qing Dynasty had endless mining bans.
The Qing Dynasty can be said to be the culmination of feudal control of the people, calm, learned a lot of experience, insidious, decisive, and ruthless.
Anyway, if it weren't for external forces, this dynasty would really be able to rule for a long time.
Root 2.9 has no hope of overthrowing it.
From Kangxi to Qianlong, a large number of Zhu Pi who opened the mine were checked.
Kangxi was cautious enough about opening mines, Yongzheng let go of some, and Qianlong contracted in an all-round way.
And Qianlong is the teacher of Kangxi, but the mine is banned, Catholicism is banned, Qianlong admires his grandfather very much, but these two things, Qianlong has his own considerations.
Mining and teaching are banned, and Qianlong is strictly prohibited.
It's no wonder that this level of mining can be improved.
But there is also shit luck.
Large reserves of copper were discovered in Yunnan before and after Qianlong, and copper production rose during the Qianlong period.
It's also really stepped on shit.
Da Song didn't have this luck.
It doesn't work if there is, the current Yungui is not under the control of the Great Song Dynasty.
The lack of copper in the territory, coupled with the loss of a large number of coins overseas in the Song Dynasty, led to the later start of minting large coins, when five, when ten, when fifty, when one hundred......
It can't be helped.
Liangshan didn't count on the bronze cannon, that is, he used the clay mold method to cast the Hongyi cannon.
Clay molds have now been made on a large scale.
Refined iron and high-temperature furnaces are prepared.
When the warship was built, a large number of thousands of pounds of heavy artillery were put on the bow......
Weijia is all over the world, and the day of Buwu is not far off!
