Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 167
When the model peasant soldier in front of him has practiced all these requirements into habitual movements, the temperament displayed by the whole team is completely different from the infantry in the chaotic cold weapon era.

They didn't have the exaggerated red-tasseled animal heads of the Qiangjun at this time. Everyone looked ordinary, holding the same weapons and wearing the same clothes, but from the horizontal and vertical, they seemed to be made of In the queue drawn by Mo Dou, from the quick tactical movements that everyone can make without hesitation, it reflects a different style from the soldiers of the cold weapon era who advocated bravery— ——Calm and professional, the whole team is like a moving killing machine, just like the spinning machine that keeps turning day and night in the Sunjiazhuang factory, which makes people feel simple but daunting.

When everyone present saw the infantry marching in formation, they all thought it was a well-trained army, but they still had no idea how the Musketeers would behave on the battlefield.

But the current performance is enough for the supervisor to approve the next stage of training funds for the musketeer.

Only Lu Zhishen nodded after watching for a long time, and said silently: "The world is invincible."

Sun Xin looked at Lu Zhishen in surprise, never expecting that Master Lu could give such a high evaluation.

Lu Zhishen just watched the army's every move quietly, as if he was thinking about how to break it if he led a team to encounter this musketeer.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Zhishen shook his head again, and made another judgment: "Even if I bring the strongest veteran of the Western Army, there is no way I can meet this team one-on-one on the battlefield."

After Lu Zhishen said this, everyone present was even more astonished, even Luan Tingyu was quite surprised. Lu Zhishen was the governor of the old Yan'an manager, and although his official position was not high, he was a veteran among veterans.

Whether he can be a general or not is not certain, but if it is only about the strength of an individual soldier, he can be regarded as the first-class figure in the army in this era, which also gave him the confidence to dare to be lawless under the hands of Mr. Xiaozhong.

Sun Xin originally planned to use his own private property to cast cannons, and the money was affordable, but Sun Xin thought it was not appropriate to build the defense alone, so he signaled the supervisory committee to approve the money, and finally The supervisory committee also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the manufacture of these two cannons, which were all borrowed from the banker's fund of the whole village and a lot of banker's labor, so the two bronze cannons It is the product of everyone's partnership.

At that time, if Lu Zhishen hadn't beaten Zheng Guanxi to death, but only wanted to teach him a random lesson, he would have beaten him.

It is good for a professional officer to have the honor of a professional officer, but this honor is definitely not shown by comparing with soldiers.

Now that he actually gave his team such a strong evaluation, except for Sun Xin's bright eyes, everyone else was somewhat unbelievable.

Although Sun Xin knew that his army would definitely not be able to become a real revolutionary team like the later generations, but Sun Xin also knew how bad the atmosphere brought about by such things as organ stoves. Well, if the cadres at the battalion level also start small things, it will be troublesome when they really want to go to battle.Although it was only a war in the era of black powder, Sun Xin did not want to train a regiment of noble officers.

He really doubted whether those bronze cannons were of such use.

Sun Xin has money, but the money in the supervisory committee is not comparable to the financial resources of Sun Xin, a big farm owner. After seeing that the cannon maker was spending money like water, Le He went directly to Tang Long's place and sat there, suspecting that the blacksmith shop There must be a waste of raw materials to make the money go so fast.

Speaking of "cannon" these days, general officers would think it was a "cannon" like a trebuchet, but Lu Zhishen and the others knew that Sun Xin had spent a lot of money and labor on making bronze cannons, which were expensive Surprisingly, it has already cost the Supervisory Committee more than 300 cannons.

After reviewing the army training program, everyone in the supervisory committee followed Sun Xin to the most remote watchtower in the farm.

Looking at the cannon hole that has been built upstairs.Lu Zhishen asked strangely, "What is this?"

In the past half a month, Lehe has been staring at the scene for several experiments, watching the red-hot bronze pouring, and the raw materials consumed in the whole process of detailed statistics are used to enter the account for comparison, which has caused his eyes to burn with copper water. Red, weeping in the wind.

"Now put it at the foot of the mountain, just waiting for you!"

Tang Long, who had been silent all this time, took a large volume of manuscript paper from his apprentice and turned it out. After unfolding the manuscript paper, he triumphantly read the parameters of his bronze cannon.

As the military authority in the Supervisory Council, Lu Zhishen directly asked, "Where is the cannon? Can you try it?"

Sun Xin smiled and said, "Money Leopard, this is your business."

Sun Xin glanced at Tao Zongwang, Tao Zongwang explained with a smile: "This place is the cannon position."

After the Supervisory Committee inspected the training of the peasants and soldiers, Sun Xin took the stage to speak. He knew that this kind of lecture would be unpleasant if he said too much in the army, so after saying a few words, he clapped his hands and served meals to the peasants and soldiers.

The supervisors saw it, and some people thought it was a way to win people's hearts by taking off their clothes and feeding them when leading the soldiers, but Sun Xin turned around and told the peasant and soldier officers that in the future, when everyone eats, the officers must If you want to eat together, no one is allowed to start a small stove.

The supervisors of the supervisory committee also ate with the farmers and soldiers, and even the tables were lined up next to the farmers' and soldiers' tables. After there were too many people to squeeze in, Sun Xin even walked around the field with a rice bowl, talking to this farmer and that People talk about the growth of this year's crops.

In order to allow muskets with a worrying range in this era to cover the entire street, the height of the watchtowers in Sunjiazhuang was not short. According to Lu Zhishen's thinking, if you want to project things accurately from such a high height, you must at least It has to be the best god arm crossbow in the Song army to achieve it.

Everyone in the Supervisory Committee had incredible expressions when they heard the terrifying range.

Sun Xin holds [-]% of the shares, while the farmer of Sunjiazhuang holds [-]%.

It's the [-]% of the shares that are already making Lehe's lips blistered.

Lu Zhishen said: "Can this cannon be placed on the top of the watchtower and shoot into the streets?"

Tang Long was very attentive. Everyone in the supervisory committee only saw the time-consuming and labor-intensive training of the hundreds of peasants and soldiers, but few people knew that his research on gun making had truly gone through the test of blood and fire.

Originally, Sun Xin planned to design and research cast iron cannons with Tang Long. After all, cast iron cannons were a more popular technology in later generations, and they were still used until the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Although the bronze cannons were of good quality, their cost was too high. Gao, but after a few experiments, the two gave up immediately. Not to mention the problem of controlling the thousands of degrees of molten iron, the bronze cannon that Sun Xin thought should be simpler was enough to toss the two of them.

He also has to admit that the development of science and technology still needs to be down-to-earth, and it is okay to pursue small steps and fast runs, but it is really not very possible to develop from scratch to a leap forward.

Now Sun Xin can only plan to build a bronze cannon artillery first, and then proceed to the research and development of cast iron cannons after having a series of war experience and more mature bronze cannon production technology.
