behind me is the earth.

Chapter 65 064. Shotgun

"Anyway, I have to be quarantined for an hour when I go back now. Sledgehammer detoured to the farm in the south of the city to have a look."

Ren Pingsheng yelled at the sledgehammer driving the car outside.

With Chen Dachui flicking his whip, the horse started to gallop.

The road around Qingcheng Town is fairly flat, and the road is not so bumpy.

When the carriage approached the farm, Ren Pingsheng saw a group of people patrolling the road outside.

However, these patrol members all knew Chen Dachui, so no one stopped the carriage.

When he reached the gate, Ren Pingsheng saw that the camp not far away had been demolished.

Looking up, there was also a wooden watchtower on the city wall, and someone stood guard.

"Master!"

Liu Qiang was leading people to practice running at the door. When he saw the owner's carriage coming, he asked the guards to run by themselves and greeted him.

"The lads looked in good spirits."

Ren Pingsheng jumped out of the car, looked at the team running away chanting and saying.

"Twenty people were sent out with the caravan, and there are still 20 people left, and 20 newcomers have been added. It is better to lead the new team with the old.

The old men in the team have been training for two months, and now they can fight when they are pulled out. "

Looking at the soldiers he brought out, Liu Qiang was also quite high-spirited.

"Practice hard, sweat more in peacetime, and cry less in wartime."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Ah."

Liu Qiang responded, but silently kept the words of the boss in his heart, thinking that he would convey these words to the team during the next training.

"These soldiers are not very old. Don't just practice, but also learn to read and write when you are free. You don't need to be a scholar, as long as you can read and write."

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"Boss, since I got your entrustment some time ago, I have taught them a few characters after lunch every day, and now these children can already write their own names.

My expectations for them are not just simple guards, but at least the grassroots forces in the team in the future. "

Liu Qiang said.

Ren Pingsheng knew that his act of hoarding armor seemed to have planted a seed in Liu Qiang's heart.

This can be seen from the extent of his training for these teenagers.

However, Ren Pingsheng did not say an explanation.

There are some words that need not be said, because no one knows which direction the final situation will develop, and many things do not depend on people's will.

Ren Pingsheng entered the farm, and accompanied by Liu Qiang and Hu Laosan, walked around the farm.

The farm has changed a lot from the last time he came.

The farm houses have been built, the houses and yards in the workshop area have also been built, and even the original adobe walls in the inner city have been repaired.

Some buildings in the inner city were demolished, several large courtyards were built, and a martial arts arena was built, and the tenants no longer lived here.

"Let's go and have a look at Liu Wen."

Ren Pingsheng talked to Liu Qiang, and then he looked at Hu Laosan and said, "Go ahead and find some people who can raise pigs, and in a few days I will send someone to send some piglets to raise in the village. "

"Okay, I'll leave first."

Hu Laosan is still cautious when facing Ren Pingsheng now.

This is the wisdom of survival for these little people whose fate is in the hands of others.

"Boss! Captain!"

The workshop is located in a large courtyard near the inner city.

The two guards at the door saw Ren Pingsheng and Liu Qiang coming, and opened the door for them while greeting them.

Along the way, although Ren Pingsheng is a layman, he feels that Liu Qiang's deployment of troops is still good.

At least he didn't find anything wrong.

I thought to myself, after I go back, I can find some military books and continue to cultivate Liu Qiang's ability to lead troops, especially the "Militia Training Manual" recommended by a big hand on the forum.

It includes tactical actions, marching and fighting, camping, burying pots and cooking, shooting planes with rifles, etc., which cover almost all the essentials of combat. If Liu Wen can develop guns here, he can also extract some content from them. Liu Qiang studied military training.

"Oh!"

When Ren Pingsheng entered the door, he saw a man holding a simple gun and shooting a shot into the sand pile at the base of the wall.

The muzzle smoked, and the sand was thrown everywhere.

"What are you doing!"

Liu Qiang was startled when he heard the voice, and subconsciously stood in front of Ren Pingsheng. After realizing it, he shouted at the shooter.

"Liu, Manager Liu, he's testing gunpowder."

The man was also taken aback by Liu Qiang's scolding, and he stammered to tell the truth.

Liu Wen, who was in the room, heard the movement, and hurried out. When he saw Ren Pingsheng, he hurried over: "Master, you are here!"

"Well, the black powder is prepared?"

Ren Pingsheng also saw the effect of the shot just now. Although he was taken aback, he was still happy at this moment.

At least, in such a short period of time, the gun-making workshop has already seen the effect.

"Well, the black powder has been prepared, and the ratio and power are being tested."

After continuous learning, words from another world began to emerge from Liu Wen's mouth.

"Is this a flintlock?"

Ren Pingsheng glanced at the carpenter standing aside, stretched out his hand, took the gun in his hand and looked at it.

"Yes, this gun was produced by us during this period of time. New firearms are also under development at the same time. For the first project, I plan to make a shotgun first.

This structure is relatively simple, powerful enough, easy for soldiers to master, and bullets are relatively easy to make. "

Liu Wen let Ren Pingsheng and Liu Qiang into the house.

Ren Pingsheng saw seven or eight large tables in the room, and on each table were some parts and carpentry tools such as planes, chisels, curved rulers, triangle rulers, and drills.

Just now in the yard, I saw a blacksmith stove with some iron parts and tools on it.

Looking up, I saw that there was still a large piece of paper hanging on the wall, which showed the mechanical structure of the shotgun and the size of each accessory.

"Everyone has their own division of labor, and is responsible for their own part structure. Now many parts have been conquered.

I think it won't be long before the first shotgun can be built. "

Liu Wen said excitedly.

Hearing what Liu Wen said, Ren Pingsheng was also very excited: "If there is anything missing, just tell me."

"There are seamless steel pipes, but some stronger springs are missing now, and most of the rest can be made by hand.

In a moment I will write down what is missing, the size. "

Seeing that the owner was going to solve the problem as soon as he came, Liu Wen said happily.

"When the shotgun takes shape, report to me as soon as possible, and each of you will be rewarded by then."

When Ren Pingsheng gave a word of encouragement, the carpenters' eyes lit up.

Not only because of the reward Ren Pingsheng said, but also because of the attitude that being a carpenter can be valued by the owner.
