Chapter 204 Made in Hanyang

Seeing that there is no good strategy for attacking the city for the time being, Ning Yu is not willing to waste the lives of soldiers. Anyone with a discerning eye can already see that Yue Zhongqi wants to tie the whole city to the top of the city. Even if the city can be captured, there is no way to deal with the coming Kangxi army.

It is not a good thing for the army to stop under the strong city, but Ning Yu is not in a hurry. He just sends the army to completely surround the city, and then bombards it every day. Maintaining a tense state can also quickly consume the opponent's physical strength and state, so that the Qing army will not feel safe in the city.

Right now, Ning Yu has only one eye on Yue Zhongqi, and more energy is still put on Kangxi who is in Tongcheng.On this point, even Ning Yu had to lament Yue Zhongqi's sophistication. If the Fuhan army really lost or suffered a big loss at Anqing City, I am afraid that the Qing army would immediately go south.

If there is any problem in Anqing City, the Fuhan army will not suffer any big losses, at most they will retreat, but if there is a change in Kangxi, then if they do not deal with it well, it will be a tragedy that the entire army will be wiped out.

Ning Yu didn't really come to a complete stop either. On the one hand, he was actively making relevant preparations for the siege, and on the other hand, he was planning to bypass Anqing, so these days he was also studying the surrounding routes and related information in the camp.

"Governor, our new thunder-style flintlock gun is really good."

Dong Ce came in from outside the tent, holding an unloaded flintlock gun in his hand, with a look of joy on his face, "Governor, this gun is much better than the one we are using now, I sent it just now People went to try the sample gun, and the power and accuracy have increased a lot compared to before!"

Ning Yu glanced at it, and replied softly: "This gun has only been made one hundred now, we have fifty here, and some on other battlefields, and there are twenty more in Wuchang, the main thing is to try it. Some advantages and disadvantages, so that Master Lei can further improve in the future."

Dong Ce stroked the wooden body of the gun, and then touched the shiny black barrel with his hands. He couldn't put it down, and said with a smile: "I haven't found any obvious shortcomings in this gun yet. Having said that, the power and accuracy have increased a lot, and then soldiers are testing its lifespan, this may take a little time."

After sighing with emotion, Dong Ce glanced at the flintlock guns that are being used now, and sighed a little, "This gun is just a little less, if there are tens of thousands of them, so as to equip a division, the combat effectiveness of the division will be greatly improved. soar!"

This statement is not false. The flintlock guns used by the Fuhan Army today cannot be said to be excellent, but they are far from perfect. The main problem is that the accuracy is not high, and the lifespan is short. This is also because these guns were produced at that time. The craftsmanship of the flintlock was not mature enough, resulting in many barrels not having the strength they are today, and there is a chance of blowing up the chamber after long-term use.

But relying on this kind of flintlock gun, the Fuhan army was still invincible. Many soldiers still kept their guns very well, and some soldiers even polished them themselves before they could be used smoothly.

"By the way, Commander-in-Chief, I heard that this gun was produced in the Hanyang gun factory that we just completed. People don't call it Lei's gun now, and they call it Hanyang to show that it is the same as the guns in the past. difference."

When Ning Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing bitterly. It seems that the inertia of history is so strong, and the familiar vocabulary Hanyang made appeared in his ears again, but today's Hanyang made is the most advanced rifle in this era. up.

Speaking of the Hanyang Arsenal, Ning Yu recalled the news that Wuchang sent him. Not long ago, after nearly eight months of construction, the Hanyang Arsenal finally came to an end. It has been initially completed, and a large number of Workers have already settled in the arsenal and started production.The Hanyang Iron Works started production as early as a month ago, so the factors restricting the production of weapons and equipment for the Fuhan Army have been reduced to the minimum.

Ning Yu picked up this freshly baked flintlock gun. The jet-black barrel was heavy, and the thick wooden butt was also polished so that it wouldn't feel awkward to the touch. The number [-] was engraved on it, and it was ingenious. The bayonet sleeve was installed carefully, and the bayonet can be removed. The whole body of the gun still exudes a smell of gunpowder smoke, which shows that it has just been used.

Looking at the flintlock gun in front of him, Ning Yu felt a little emotional. For its birth, he had put in a lot of hard work in the past year, and there were massive human and material resources supporting its growth. Said that Ning Yu wished he could eat steamed buns every day, and wanted to transfer all the extra material resources to this thing.

At present, the Fuhan army is focusing on changing the equipment. A large number of arquebus shotguns from the Qing army have been seized, and they are being transformed into flintlock parts one by one by artisans accompanying the army. In this way, these guns have been changed into flintlock guns. The barrel material and forging process remain the same, and the power will not become stronger, but the practicality is much stronger, and it also fills in the deficiency of the flintlock guns of the Fuhan Army.

The current upgrade seems to be a small project, but Ning Yu still dare not relax, this technology is currently in a top secret state, Ning Yu does not want to wait until one day when he wakes up, facing the Qing army with a flintlock gun , that was simply a nightmare.

The best weapon is not to sleep in the warehouse, it needs to be tested in actual combat to get the result.However, Ning Yu does not intend to directly incorporate these sample guns into the front-line troops. This will increase the chance of loss, and the structure of the flintlock gun is not very complicated. If the Qing army gets it, it will be to a certain extent Accelerate the development of Qing army muskets.

Ning Yu also didn't want to give up eating because of choking. After thinking about it carefully, he came up with an idea - to equip the guard battalion. After all, the guard battalion is different from ordinary troops. This task seems more appropriate.

Therefore, Ning Yu did not hesitate too much, and directly called Ning Si, and asked him to arrange a half-company to start replacing the new flintlock guns, but there was one more requirement, that is, everyone needs to hand in their experience in order to It was improved in Hanyang Gun Factory in the future.

After getting these fifty new-style flintlock guns, Ning Si's heart was full of joy, not because of anything else, but mainly because these things are only available to him now, and the other regiment and battalion commanders guessed after seeing them. Envious of death, this can be regarded as the only one in the entire Eastern Expedition and Fuhan Army.

"Great Governor, this Hanyang made is quite comfortable to the touch. It is much better than our old gun." Ning Si laughed, but when he just walked out of the room, he seemed to think of something and shouted Said: "Great Governor, the girl from the White Lotus Sect has come and said she wants to marry you."

Hearing this news, Ning Yu was a little surprised, Miss Bailian?Could it be that young master of the Chen family?

I did have a marriage contract with her, but it was just a bargaining chip to prevent the White Lotus Sect from falling to the Qing army. In Ning Yu's own heart, he didn't take it seriously. If this decisive battle is over, the situation will be uncontrollable Bailian taught how to choose.

If he is wise, he can still get some meat under the banner of the Fuhan Army. If he is not, Ning Yu is confident that he will completely wipe out those gangsters in a short time.But now it is good, seeing that he has reached the critical point of the crucial battle, it is too coincidental that this young master came to the city of Anqing regardless of the danger.
Ning Yu never believed in coincidences, he only believed in conspiracies, but the arrival of the young master of the Chen family gave Ning Yu a headache, he really didn't want to see her at this critical moment, it was too much inconvenience, but he just didn't see her, It will also lead to an early deterioration of the relationship between the two, which is also not in line with Ning Yu's current plan.

Is this seen or not?
