Chapter 204 The First Flintlock
Lantian County has been missed by the bandits, and they are going to rob the people of Lantian County of rations. The weapon is ready to copy the guy to fight these bandits desperately.

This life must be fought, because if you don't fight hard, the food will be robbed, and the whole county will be waiting to starve to death. This time, not only the men, but even the women with bound feet are holding scissors and screwdrivers at any time. Desperate.

Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone people.

At this time, the county government will issue an announcement, and will send specialized personnel to each township and village to organize militiamen and distribute weapons.

Li Chaosheng seized the miscellaneous weapons at Liudayukou, some of which were melted into agricultural tools, and some were left in storage. At this time, they were all distributed to the militia, and the most common ones were red-tasseled guns.

The red-tasseled gun mainly uses less iron, and its lethality is astonishing. In addition, Lantian County has a lot of wood to make the red-tasseled gun, so the village militia Xiangyong was formed soon.

Each town currently selects 300 strongest villagers. These people only need to conduct military training for one hour a day, and they can go home to farm the rest of the time, and they will also be the main force of Li Chaosheng's security forces in the future.

But more often, they still exist in the form of Xiangyong, and they are unified under the command of Qian Jin and Liu Airen's militia headquarters.

Immediately following Li Chaosheng's mobilization to unite the townships for self-protection, the main body is that thieves come and need to be attacked, and the land is our home. The beautiful situation we created by ourselves will never be allowed to be trampled or destroyed by others.

Encourage village braves to keep the soil as their home and protect the fruits of their hard work.

This mobilization really paid off. Not long after the establishment of the Xiangyong, the Xiangyong team made great contributions. Within a few days, they captured the major bandit forces and sent more than [-] people to Lantian County as sentries.

Half of them were arrested in the mountains and forests, because the major valleys are now closed and no entry or exit is allowed, so these spies can only go to the mountains and forests, browse the cliffs, and spread the news. After leaving the key patrol area, many spies were directly held down.

There are also some among the victims, but the victims are all pale and emaciated, and some even have no human figure. These spies live a good life, eat rosy faces, and act suspiciously, so they are directly held down, and then a Torture.

Don't ask why you tortured me when you came up, shouldn't you treat me more gently?
I'm sorry, there are no human rights in troubled times, let alone torture, killing this kind of person on the spot will definitely not cause any dissatisfaction. As for the person concerned feeling wronged, there is no way. At this time, you can't care about your personal feelings and interests.

After the scouts were caught, Li Chaosheng directly held a public trial, leading the entire county to criticize and then let the people of the county decide how to treat these people. As a result, without exception, they were all beaten to death by the angry people.

At this time, no one is merciful, and no one is the Holy Mother. At this time, everyone is more like a beast, as long as they threaten themselves, they will be killed.

These people were beaten to death in various villages and towns, and they also frightened other hidden spies who were not caught. They saw that these people with the same nature of work as their own were beaten to death by crazy people, and some were even dismembered on the spot , everyone's hearts were beating wildly.

So scary, so scary.

At this moment, these people have a strong sense of substitution, as if they were the ones who were beaten to death. They stared at each other and had a thousand words, but they couldn't say a word. In the end, they could only stop some scouting activities and put themselves Hide it, even forget your identity as a scout as much as possible.

At the same time, I was also scared. These people are too scary. After being provoked by the county magistrate, 27 people in the county have become soldiers who want to fight at any time. The winged tigers in the country will also be beaten to death by these people.

Especially when these people saw that even the eight or nine-year-old children in the village were beating the big trees with wooden sticks like adults, cursing the bandits, if you dare to rob us of food, we will fight you hard, beat, Kill you!
The stick's lethality was obviously not strong, but all the lurkers who saw it were terrified, as if the stick had hit themselves.

This county magistrate is terrible, and Lantian County is terrible.

Do the common people have fighting power? The common people have fighting power. Especially in this world dominated by cold weapons, the fighting power of the people is considerable. The officers and soldiers retreated steadily.

And now the people in Lantian are more terrifying than those rebels. The rebels will be driven, and some are coerced to fight, but now everyone in Lantian is fighting to protect their rations.

Without this morsel, the big guys will die. Who wouldn't risk their lives at this time?

There is no way to fight this battle. On the surface, it may seem that hundreds of soldiers in Lantian County are facing tens of thousands of bandits. In fact, it is 27 desperate people in Lantian County, waiting for 1 idiots to die. This business cannot be done. .

Thinking about it, these scouts decided to completely cut off contact with the original bandits. They wanted to truly become disaster victims. If possible, they also wanted to press a home in Lantian and settle down in such a place.

At this time, the hall of the county government office, after these days of construction, the entire county government office was finally built with the efforts of hundreds of people. This time, the county government office is really magnificent, and it seems that it is about to catch up with the governor's office of Xi'an Prefecture. up.

At that time, the decoration of the county office was very simple. There was a brand-new county magistrate's desk, a grand master's chair, a plaque hung on the grand master's chair, and a bright mirror hung high.

At this time, Li Chaosheng was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, with his feet on the table, listening to Guzi's report: "The scout reported, there was a gust of wind in Zhashui County, Sai Bodang in Hua County, sick Qin Qiong, and the three groups of people are in season, two days later They should come to our Lantian County."

"In addition, the Chang'an guards are also restless. Currently, they are secretly dividing up their troops. None of these soldiers are wearing the armor of the Ming army. They secretly sent troops to Daogou Valley, looking like they are ready to attack at any time."

Gu Zi said, Li Chaosheng listened to the words and said: "After all, the Chang'an Guard is a regular army, and its combat power is slightly better than that of the bandits. Let Li Dezhen be careful not to be careless, and make mistakes."

After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "I have already told Battalion Commander Li Dezhen, and Li Battalion Commander Li said that it is not the first time he has fought Chang'an Wei, and he has experience."

Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Okay, it's good if you have experience, and what about Shangluo's winged tiger?"

Gu Zi said: "The Winged Tiger has not made any movement yet, but the sentry reported that it seems that someone has been sent to contact the head of Qingyu Chaohu."

"Ok?"

Li Chaosheng looked confused, contact Li Chaohu?Which game is this from?

At the same time in Qingyu, Li Chaohu was sorting out the army. At this time, he heard a report from the soldiers at the foot of the mountain that a guy who claimed to be the envoy of the Shangluo Winged Tiger said he wanted to see you, the regiment leader.

"The messenger of the winged tiger?"

Li Chaohu frowned when he heard this, and said, "Tell him to meet me in the Juyi Hall."

"Yes."

Soon in the Juyi hall, a man was brought in. As soon as the man came in, he took a look at Li Chaohu, clasped his fist slightly and said, "I have seen Zhaizhu Zhang."

Li Chaohu glanced at the man and said, "The winged tiger asked you to come?"

"Yes."

"What's the matter here?"

Hearing this, the man clasped his fists and said, "The head of my family said that he wanted to take [-] dans of grain from Lantian County, but Qingyu, the owner of Zhangzhai, is the host of this place, so he wants to borrow the Qingyu, and please ask the head of the family to do it." convenient."

"Borrow the Qingyu."

Li Chaohu frowned, looked at the man and said: "Your village master thinks very well, he thinks I will borrow it?"

"My village master is a righteous man. His old man said that as long as the village master Zhang makes an excuse, [-]% of the grain from Lantian will be sent to Qingyu after the matter is completed."

The man cleared his throat and said, "Master Zhang, this is a good deal. You Qingyu don't need to do anything, and you can get [-]% of the benefits for nothing. Why not do it?"

The man looked at Li Chaohu with a smile, and Li Chaohu also smiled at this time: "Lantian is my territory, and his territory of Winged Tiger is in Shangluo. He went to my territory to rob, and he only gave me [-]%. Do you think I will agree? "

Hearing this, the man frowned and said, "Master Zhang disagrees?"

Li Chaohu smiled and said: "Hahaha...Of course, I will tell your winged tiger that Lantian is the meat of my Zhang Mazi's mouth, so don't stretch his claws so far, otherwise I will chop off his claws!"

"You, Zhaizhu Zhang, don't be ignorant. Our master excuses you to think highly of you. If you don't know how to praise you, you will bear the brunt of the army in the future."

At this moment, the man glared at Li Chaohu and said, Li Chaohu laughed and said, "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just stating a fact."

Li Chaohu nodded at this moment and said: "I appreciate people with courage, but I don't like people without brains. I'm in a good mood today. I'll let you go, and go back and say to the winged tiger: "Lantian belongs to me, Zhang Pocky. If he dares to come, just wait for Lao Tzu to chop off his head. "

Hearing this, the man frowned, and wanted to say something else, but seeing Li Chaohu's eyes that were ready to kill, he faltered, his eyes shrank slightly, and he said, "I will definitely report the truth."

"see a visitor out!"

On the second day after the man left, Shangluo Winged Tiger led an army of 6000 people, claiming that [-] troops marched into the border of Lantian, Qingyu.

At that time, there were only 800 regular troops in Qingyu, but when they heard that the winged tiger army was coming, [-] township braves from six nearby towns directly entered Qingyu under the mobilization of the militia headquarters. Liu Airen came to supervise the battle in person.

In this way, there are 600 people guarding the Qingyu, and there is no problem with such a force against 6000 winged tigers. After all, the Qingyu is stable enough to be ten.

The winged tiger is advancing towards Qingyu, and several other groups of bandits are also repeatedly hopping across the border and even sending out small groups of troops to harass them. Li Chaosheng feels that there must be some connection between these troops.

However, these people have not fought yet, and Li Chaosheng is not in a hurry, but is in the mood to inspect the firearms workshop in Lantian County.

Because just yesterday, the gun workshop in Lantian County finally developed the first automatic flintlock gun, which can be regarded as Li Chaosheng's biggest achievement during this period.

The concept of the flintlock gun was proposed by Li Chaosheng. After all, making guns is what Li Chaosheng has always wanted to do, and the three-eyed firecracker and the bird gun are a bit too low-end for Li Chaosheng. It’s not like we don’t have this Technology manufactures flintlock guns.

In fact, there was the first draft of the flintlock in the Ming Dynasty, but it was not used later, and the difference between the flintlock and the bird gun is actually the difference in the striking method, which is a matter of brain hole.

So Li Chaosheng asked his head of the craftsman department, Lao Suntou, to experiment. This experiment lasted for nearly half a year. In the past six months, Lao Suntou has been researching how to improve the success rate of excitation, and finally developed this 100% exciting flint. gun.

It can be said that this is an important beginning of the firearms era of the Ming Dynasty, but this firearm was not independently completed by the Ming Dynasty, mainly because the barrel used in the firearm was a high-strength seamless steel pipe purchased by Li Chaosheng in modern times.

This steel pipe technology is completely unattainable by Daming at present, and it can completely avoid the explosion of the chamber.

In fact, Li Chaosheng's requirements are not so high. If he wants to achieve everything in one step and enter the era of flintlock guns, if he lowers the standard, he should have his first matchlock gun four months ago.

However, the matchlock gun did not meet his aesthetics, and it was too laborious, so he had to make a flintlock gun from the very beginning.

Li Chaosheng got the first flintlock gun made by Lao Suntou. Its shape is very close to that of a bird gun, which is similar to a shotgun. Li Chaosheng tried it and it felt good in the hand. A flintlock gun arrived at the shooting range, and at this time Lao Suntou brought over a horn cup.

"Brigade Commander, according to your request, we have experimented for a long time and found that the gunpowder in such a small horn cup has the best effect."

As the old grandson said, Li Chaosheng nodded. At this time, the old grandson was researching gunpowder fixed loading. Gunpowder fixed loading is very important. Although it is a small step, it has greatly improved the efficiency of the soldiers.

Li Chaosheng looked at the small ox horn cup and said: "This amount of gunpowder can be weighed, and after confirmation, it can be cut into small pieces with oiled paper and packed, so that it is convenient to carry around."

"clear,."

Old Suntou nodded, and followed Li Chaosheng to take the shotgun and set up a target in the distance. At this time, Old Suntou brought over a round marble and a spacer.

Put the marbles on the spacer and put them into the gunpowder gun. The spacer can prevent the gunpowder from being too scattered. Immediately after, Lao Suntou took a slender steel rod with a plug to Li Chaosheng. Poke the bullet spacer in, and this completes the charge of gunpowder.

After loading the gunpowder, Li Chaosheng raised the gun. At this time, Lao Sun pointed to a movable firing pin on the back of the gun and said: "When shooting, push the firing pin back and fire it, and the firing pin will hit the gun barrel. Flint, then the powder can be ignited, fired."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng immediately raised the barrel of his gun, and shot at a target in the distance: Crack!
There was a sound, followed by the bullet missing the target and hitting the target next to the aiming target.

"Okay, the brigade commander is good at marksmanship!"

Seeing this scene, a group of people applauded. This flattery caught Li Chaosheng off guard. I missed the target, but I don't want to tell you.
