I want to be emperor

Chapter 192 The Two Girls
Compared with the matchlock gun, the flintlock gun has a very unique advantage, which is inherently self-contained, and not many people pay attention to it for the time being.

That is, after the flintlock gun replaced the matchlock with flint, because there is no need to worry about factors such as misfire, the musketeers equipped with the flintlock gun can form a tighter, even shoulder-to-shoulder dense formation.

And this is very important!
In the next few decades, flintlock guns will rely on this. Even in the face of many defects such as higher costs, troubles in the supply of flint, and lower firing rates, the matchlock guns will still be completely eliminated.

Because of this tight formation, the musketeers can fire more intensive firepower.

When the musketeers equipped with flintlocks formed a dense formation, coupled with the appearance of the sleeve snap-on bayonet, it directly led to the line tactics, that is, the strange tactics of queuing up and shooting began to spread across most parts of the earth.

The flintlock equipped with a bayonet not only eliminated the arquebus, but also eliminated all other infantry arms except the fusiliers, regardless of whether it was an archer or a spearman, a sword shield hand, a sword shield hand, etc. They were all consigned to the dustbin of history.

Of course, only in most areas, in a few areas there are still people who stubbornly cling to matchlock guns for various reasons, such as the Eastern captivity after entering the customs...

Under Luo Zhixue's army building strategy, today's Army of Protecting the Rural Areas has been pursuing line tactics from the very beginning. Its field artillery system, the formation system with spearmen and musketeers, etc., are all like this.

For this reason, Luo Zhixue devoted great efforts to the development of field artillery, and at the same time specially produced a sleeve-type buckle bayonet.

Speaking of bayonets (spear stabbings), the Rural Protection Army is currently leading the world!
When other armies, no matter whether it is Dongkuo or Fusang, or countries in the European region, they either don’t use bayonets or use plug-in bayonets (spearheads), and plug-in bayonets (spearheads) are not very easy to use.

It's easy to fall off if it's loose, but it can't be pulled out if it's tight...

And once installed, it cannot continue to load and fire.

The overall limitations are very large.

The Township Protection Army quickly abandoned the plug-in gun bayonet after only a few months, and completely switched to the sleeve buckle bayonet bayonet.

At present, the sleeve-type buckle bayonet of the Baoxiang Army is the only one in the world, and it has been used on the existing matchlock guns with good feedback.

Looking at the current equipment and tactics of the Township Protection Army, it actually already has the basis of the early line tactics, only the flintlock is missing!

Of course, it is not the flintlock gun with low firing rate, but the flintlock gun with high firing rate.

Luo Zhixue didn't expect to be able to immediately produce a flintlock gun with a firing rate that meets the requirements, but hoped that Ding Gangyi would lead people to start research and increase the firing rate through improvements.

It doesn't take much, as long as the firing rate can reach about 90.00%, Luo Zhixue dares to completely replace the matchlock gun with the flintlock and adopt the full version of the line tactics.

So even though Luo Zhixue could see Ding Gangyi's doubts, he still said: "You find a way to recruit people to carry out research. It's best to find a way to get some flintlock guns from Xiyi and come over to see how they do it."

"After the basic structure is figured out, the focus of follow-up improvement is to increase the firing rate. It is necessary to increase the firing rate to more than [-]%!"

Luo Zhixue gave the task directly, so Ding Gangyi naturally couldn't say anything more, he could only respond: "Your subordinate obeys, and I will deploy people to start the trial production of flintlock guns later, and then contact my colleagues from the Ministry of Commerce and let them search for it on my behalf. Flintlock."

Luo Zhixue nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Follow-up new types of artillery and flowering ammunition, as well as other matters related to this flintlock gun, I'll leave it to you!"

Ding Gangyi hurriedly said: "The general is serious. It is the duty of fortitude to build more and better guns and weapons for the general and for our rural protection army!"

After chatting for a few more words, Luo Zhixue asked Ding Gangyi to retreat.

Luo Zhixue then interviewed several other people, and was busy until after eleven o'clock in the evening.

During this day, he was more tired than usual leading the army to fight. He held four consecutive large-scale meetings and received seven or eight people successively. He held meetings for almost ten hours in a row.

My throat is dry...

After finishing today's heavy work, Luo Zhixue came to the backyard and began to freshen up under the service of the maid.

After entering the bath, Luo Zhixue slightly closed his eyes and let the maid in light gauze gown wipe them for him.

After a short while, Luo Zhixue opened his eyes, saw that the light gauze gown of the maid in front of him was soaked, revealing an unharmonious scene, he immediately grabbed the maid beside him onto his lap.

The maid seemed to be frightened, and let out a soft ah sound, but she didn't struggle and didn't resist.

Luo Zhixue's face remained unchanged, and he said to another maid: "Continue washing!"

…………

Early the next morning, Luo Zhixue got up to wash up, and headed to the front yard after breakfast. There were still a lot of things waiting for him this day.

As soon as he left the hospital, Cao Hetong, the Minister of the Ministry of Staff who was waiting at the door, immediately stepped forward, taking out a small notebook that he carried with him before leaving, and bowed after entering, "My subordinates pay their respects to Mr. General!"

Luo Zhixue nodded slightly, and said kindly, "There's no need to be polite, have you arranged your itinerary for today?"

With that said, Luo Zhixue had already stepped out.

Cao Hetong, Minister of the Staff Department, was half a step behind, opened his pocket book and said, "The arrangements are roughly made, but there are still a few things that my subordinates dare not decide on their own, and I still need to be instructed by the general!"

Luo Zhixue said while walking, "Say!"

Cao Hetong immediately said: "According to your order yesterday, General, we will hold a small ministerial meeting today. At the second quarter of the first day of the morning (7.30) is the meeting of the ministers of political affairs, and at Chenzheng (8.00) is the meeting of the ministers of military affairs."

"Chenzheng two quarters (8.30) summoned the departments of agriculture and forestry to discuss summer busy matters."

"Sichu (9.00) summoned various departments of the Ministry of Industry to discuss the relocation of factories in Liqingdian."

"On the second quarter of the first day (9.30), various divisions of the taxation department were summoned to discuss the improvement of commercial taxation."

"Sizheng (10.00) summoned the Finance Department to discuss the improvement of various administrative funds."

"From the beginning of noon to the beginning of the day (11.00-13.00), various local officials were summoned to listen to the affairs of the counties, and 23 people were temporarily arranged to wait for the interview."

"At the moment of the first day (13.15), I went to inspect the [-]th Infantry Brigade, the [-]nd Supply Battalion and other new troops trained in Nanyang City."

"Shen Chu (15.00) inspects the defense situation of Nanyang City!"

"You Office (17.00)..."

"Xuzheng two quarters (20.30)..."

Cao Hetong talked more and more, but Luo Zhixue's face was getting darker and darker. This shit has been arranged until 08:30 in the evening, and the arrangement has not yet been completed...

Then he directly interrupted Cao Hetong's words: "Du Xuzheng is two minutes away? Also, what about lunch and dinner time? Are you free?"

Cao Hetong was also a little apprehensive after hearing this, and said in a low voice: "The above are all explained by you personally, the general, and your subordinates dare not add or delete... and there are still a few things that have not been arranged for the time being, and I hope the general will show you .”

"As for lunch and dinner time, there is actually time. At noon, you will have a banquet with Minister Guo Quanshu, and discuss the candidates for the prefects of Nanyang Prefecture and Xiangyang Prefecture!"

"Dinner, you will have a banquet for the major and above generals in Nanyang City!"

After hearing this, Luo Zhixue sighed deeply...

But he didn't blame Cao Hetong anymore, because he personally ordered many of the above-mentioned matters. Although he was pressed for time, there were a lot of things to do, because he had led the army to fight outside for a long time, and many internal affairs had already been delayed. Procrastinate.

He just wanted to deal with it during the few days of rest in Nanyang City... Well, he found that he didn't have enough time.

Immediately said: "Squeeze the time again, arrange the remaining few things, and then give orders in advance, hurry up today, let them all prepare in advance, talk about things directly if there is something to do, don't talk too much nonsense!"

When Luo Zhixue said this, he lamented in his heart again, rebellion is really not done by people, he is too busy.

But sighs are sighs, things still have to be done...

----

When Luo Zhixue went out and started busy with a lot of things, Hou Yunmeng in the backyard was half leaning on the edge of the bed in a daze!

The other Queen Qiaonv on the bed continued to lie down, with a smile on her face for a better life in the future.

"Meng'er, tell me, we are done, right?"

"Meng'er, do you think we will become concubines of the great general in the future?"

"I heard that, the general is not married yet, and he has been busy with military affairs before, and there is no caring person around him. We should be the first two!"

"Concubine is unlikely, but there should be a wife, right? I think the general is very kind, and he is a good person to us!"

Wang Qiaoer's words on the side did not attract Hou Yunmeng's attention, and she hadn't recovered yet!
For her, the experience of this period of time was really ups and downs.

She was originally an ordinary maid in the Chu Palace. She was sold to Ren Yazi by her parents since she was a child, and was later sold to the Chu Palace as a maid.

It's just because she has a curvy figure and a slightly foxy appearance, which doesn't meet the current world's ordinary and fragile aesthetic standards, so she has always been mixed at the bottom, just an extremely ordinary maid.

When the Township Protection Army broke through the Chu Palace, she was terrified and afraid of being killed by the rebellious army, but in fact, many people died in the rebellious army.

But she was lucky, she was still alive and well until the township protection army completely captured Chu Palace.

The military discipline of the Township Protection Army is not bad. After capturing the palace, they were busy sealing up the palace, confiscating gold, silver and other items, but they did not embarrass some eunuchs, maids and others in the palace. They were only temporarily detained for processing.

A few days later, after the situation initially stabilized, the Township Protection Army began to deal with a group of idlers in the palace. Some people were directly arrested, and some were dismissed, but there were still a few people who were left behind. They were all young people, nothing to worry about. An ordinary maid with heels.

Hou Yunmeng is one of them.

Together with the hired mothers and young women, they became the people of this general Beppu.

It's just that although she has been staying in Nanyang Biefu, in fact, she had never seen Luo Zhixue before yesterday, because Luo Zhixue hadn't even entered Nanyang City before, let alone the Chu Palace.

She saw Luo Zhixue for the first time yesterday morning. At that time, she and more than 20 other maids and mothers lined up far away to identify someone. They needed to know that it was Luo Zhixue, so as not to misidentify Luo Zhixue. dragon.

At that time, Hou Yunmeng felt that Luo Zhixue's eyes lingered on her for a while longer.

Not long after the recognition, Luo Zhixue left.

But not long after Luo Zhixue left, more than a dozen people came to her directly and began to ask many random questions.

From her family background, to her many experiences after entering the palace, I can't wait to ask her how old she is and still wets the bed...

After being tossed about for several hours, two more old women came to check her body in detail, including confirming whether she was a big girl with yellow flowers.

In the end, she was the same as another maid who was similar in shape and appearance to her, but more handsome, and was interrogated for [-] generations of her ancestors, and the maid Wang Qiaoer, who had almost all her experiences dug out, began to be washed by several old mothers herself. , hair, etc.

After washing, they put makeup on, put their heads up, and tried on clothes. The light gauze dresses that Luo Zhixue saw on them last night were actually chosen after they each tried on more than a dozen sets.

When Luo Zhixue went to the bath to freshen up and saw the two girls, they had actually been preparing for almost ten hours!

And all of this, Luo Zhixue didn't know!
It's just something that Luo Zhixue doesn't even know. Many people were drinking to their heart's content for the love affair between Luo Zhixue, Hou Yunmeng and Wang Qiaoer last night!

Guo Quanshu even whispered to Huang Chengxuan: "If you choose more beauties to enrich the general's mansion, there will be good news within a month or two. The son of the general is just around the corner!"

"Once the good news comes out from the backyard of the General's Mansion, the hearts of the soldiers will be at ease, and so will the hearts of the people!"

"In this way, we can expect the supremacy of the rural army, and we have a lot to do!"
