Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 59 The Difficulty of Forming an Army (Recommendation Ticket Requested)

In fact, regarding firearms, Liu Hongjian also knew of a technology that had a greater impact on Daming, that is, rifled guns.

Rifling is also known as rifling. The function of rifling is to give the bullet the ability to rotate, so that the bullet can still maintain a predetermined direction after it exits the chamber, which can not only greatly increase the range of the bullet, but also increase the accuracy.

It can be said that the rifling is the soul of the barrel.

If memory serves me, there are records of the use of rifling in the far West in the fifteenth century, but it was not popularized until the nineteenth century.

The reason is that the loading speed of front-loading rifled guns is too slow. Since the projectile must be embedded in the rifling to rotate with the rifling, soldiers often need to hit the delivery stick with a hammer to load the projectile into the barrel.

As a result, the firing rate is reduced to one third of that of the smoothbore gun or even slower. Such a low rate of fire is intolerable for the army.

In addition, the production of rifling requires extremely high skill, and if there is a slight deviation, it will be scrapped and mass production cannot be realized. This is why Liu Hongjian clearly knew about such advanced technology, but did not tell Fan Jingwen.

Advanced technology needs to be matched with a strong industrial foundation. Let alone industry in the current Ming Dynasty, the spark of capitalism that has just sprouted will soon be extinguished by the Qing Dynasty, so we still have to wait.

According to Liu Hongjian's conjecture, he will definitely open a factory in the future. The military factory will be used for fighting, and the civilian factory will be used to make money. A foreign Earl of the Empire will wake up and take power in the world. ?
Isn't it nice?

For the next seven days, apart from going home a few times to check on his little wife's injuries, Liu Hongjian stayed in the barracks with this group of teenagers.

Because of being next to the big boss Chongzhen, Liu Hongjian raised the food and treatment of the teenagers without authorization. Most of the recruits in these thousand households are [-] or [-] years old and are still growing. Liu Hongjian doesn't want everyone in his team to be stunted. .

So in addition to eating enough, a new meal of meat dishes was added every day, which was unimaginable in the military camp.

You must know all kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters in the late Ming Dynasty, not to mention meat, many people can't even eat enough rice bran, and the teenagers who haven't touched meat for several years are really happy.

Meat is of course not free. In addition to the regular chopping training, Liu Hongjian not only added cross-country running and weight-bearing running, but also introduced push-ups, sit-ups, and even parallel bars that are more conducive to muscle development.

In the afternoon, a few old gentlemen who shook their heads were invited. Originally, Liu Hongjian's father, Liu Delong, was in a panic at home and wanted to join in the fun, and he wanted to save his son's wages by the way.

But Liu Hongjian persuaded him, not to mention that the emperor paid for the wages, he didn't want his father to see what he did in the military camp every day.

Not to mention eating and living with a group of teenagers, and running with a big log on his shoulders, how could he look like an imperial count.

He had to be scolded by his father every day, and seeing that his father couldn't stay idle, Liu Hongjian simply went out the back door and went to the official department, and asked Zheng Sanjun, the old minister of the official department, to find an errand for him.

Zheng Sanjun was originally an extremely stubborn old man, and he was very displeased with this kind of open and honest way of going through the back door. In the end, he couldn't help but get thicker and thicker, and Liu Hongjian, who was developing towards the third realm, made a fuss.

Got an errand from the Ministry of Households, and the promotion was subordinate to the Banknote Lifting Department of the Ministry of Accounts. Since Taizu Zhu Chongba of the Ming Dynasty, this yamen was established to be responsible for printing and issuing banknotes.

The job of printing and distributing banknotes is awesome, but I think too much. The Ming Dynasty did not take the economic situation of the Ming Dynasty as a reference, nor did it take the gold and silver reserves as the basis.
This led to serious inflation of banknotes. It was so serious that to buy a stone of rice, you had to find a cart to pull a whole cart of banknotes.

Ever since, the Department of Banknote Prosecution of the Ministry of Households has become the most leisurely office of the Ministry of Households.

The official position is not high, and he is of the eighth rank, but he is very happy with the old scholar Liu. The old scholar is over 60. He has been an accountant for half his life.

Guangzong Yaozu!So the old scholar never mentioned the matter of teaching in the military camp again.

The newly recruited teachers are old scholars with relatively old-fashioned behaviors, and the content of their teaching is also lacklustre, such as "human beings are inherently good", or "the world is mysterious and the universe is prehistoric".

He was stopped by Liu Hongjian just after listening for a while, not to mention whether people in their teens are suitable for the enlightenment education in these kindergartens. Stupid nerd.

So Liu Hongjian directly asked a few old men to only teach literacy, and then mixed in some colleges and the mean. Although there was a lot of dross in it, at least it contained some principles of life.

As for what to study in the future, Liu Hongjian also had his own ideas. He was a university graduate, and he was a veritable bachelor. It shouldn't be a problem if he wanted to compile a textbook for elementary school students.

Arabic numerals are so simple and easy to understand, how many times easier than [-], [-], [-], [-], plus some mathematical calculations, the expansion of basic geography knowledge, what is knowing astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and what is called astronomy and geography?

After seven days of training, Liu Hongjian also had a preliminary understanding of the respective strengths of these boys. The thick and powerful boy was selected as the shield soldier, the tall man was selected as the pikeman, and the good-eyed and clever boy was selected as the AKM shooter.

When fighting, the shield soldiers are in front, holding the shield in the left hand and the sword in the right hand. In addition to protecting the shooters behind them, they also have a certain counterattack ability.

In an unoccupied room, Liu Hongjian took out his own inventory, one hundred AKMs and three boxes of ammunition, from his baby ring.

Originally, he had 120 sticks, but one was seized by Chongzhen, and Niu Damai kept carrying one, and the remaining [-] sticks had to be kept for spare.

There are a lot of bullets. Except for these hundred guns, the rest of Nuoda's ring space is full of bullets. It is roughly estimated that even if all these hundred guns are scrapped, they will not be used up.

If he had known earlier, he would have thrown a few boxes of bullets and stuffed more practical things. Liu Hongjian not only regretted his mistake at that time.

Liu Hongjian greeted them, and immediately a group of teenagers came over, seeing all the strange firearms on the ground becoming novelty.

After all the things were carried outside, since he and Niu Zhuang were the only ones who knew how to use AKM, Liu Hongjian had to divide into two groups, 20 people in each group, and guide them one by one just like Professor Niu Zhuang and Cao Wentai did back then.

It took me a long time to get every boy to have a basic understanding of firearms. Although not everyone has the opportunity to be a shooter in battle, at least everyone must know how to use them.

There are two iron rules for shooters, one is the gun, if someone runs back during the battle and loses the gun, he will be directly removed from the Qianhu Office and re-entered into the military household.

Second, never point the gun at your own robes, a knife and a gun have no eyes.

In the past seven days, the thousand households in Longevity Mountain have changed from chaos to order. Chang Yu, Zu Qiuqing and others who have experience in organizing troops have contributed a lot.

Liu Hongjian also experienced the hardships of building an army, from a wasteland to building camps, hiring people from the Ministry of Industry to build houses, hiring military doctors, consulting teachers, and the formulation of various systems.

This morning, Liu Hongjian was instructing the soldiers of the Qianhu Station, when a group of eunuchs suddenly came to the gate of the barracks, the leader was the eunuch Wang Erxi, who shouted as soon as he entered the barracks.

"Where is An Guobo?"

Liu Hongjian didn't know why, so he hurriedly left the work in hand and walked over.

"Uncle An, the emperor has summoned you on an urgent matter, hurry up and go to the palace with our family!"
