There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

Outside Fugu City, there is the Fudong Courtyard.

Lin Feng came to the entrance of the courtyard. The huge courtyard seemed much deserted compared to before.

Many Zhenming-related industries have moved to Jiazhou, and even the Governor's Palace and the group headquarters have moved away, leaving fewer natural people.

Before Lin Feng could express his emotions, a ball of red flames flew out, and a soft and fragrant body had already thrown into Lin Feng's arms.

Fang Xiaoyu and others quickly turned around and called Guo Zheng to watch the weather. The other guards also quickly pretended not to see anything.

"Yun Na, there are so many people in the Guards here, be careful, you know?" Lin Feng said softly in embarrassment.

"I don't care, who kept you from coming to see me for so long." Wu Yunna said unwillingly.

"We've been fighting lately, haven't we? I'll come see you as soon as I have time. I'm also planning to go to the grassland to propose marriage to you." Lin Feng quickly threw out his trump card.

"Really, you didn't lie to me?" Wu Yunna asked with interest.

"Of course, how could I lie to you. But let's do business first. I'm here to see the cavalry brigade. Isn't it because you haven't trained your troops well and you don't want me to see it?" General Lin Feng said excitedly.

"Who said that, our cavalry brigade is now stronger, please ask Governor Lin to go and inspect." Upon hearing this, Wu Yunna immediately left Lin Feng's arms and said to him seriously.

"Let's go and see how well you have trained our First Cavalry Brigade." Lin Feng said as he walked inside.

After occupying Jiazhou, Lin Feng adjusted some combat brigades and established a cavalry brigade with a strength of 2200 people and three cavalry battalions. Wu Yunna served as brigade general, Hong Tu served as deputy brigade general and battalion commander, and Urentuya and Zhou Cong served as battalion commander.

Among them, Urentuya's 1st Cavalry Battalion and the brigade headquarters were stationed in the vacated camp area of ​​Fudong Courtyard, Hongtu's 2nd Cavalry Battalion was stationed in Jiazhou, and Zhou Cong's 3rd Cavalry Battalion was stationed in the military camp near Zhenqiangbao.

Because the cavalry is highly mobile, it is stationed relatively dispersedly, making it easier to support operations in all directions.

Wu Yunna accompanied Lin Feng to the cavalry brigade camp. Wu Rentuya had already led the entire battalion of cavalry in formation. Hundreds of horses were lined up neatly. The cavalry were dressed in new lightweight plate armor, carrying Type II fire guns and hanging on their waists. With saber. It's very impressive at first glance.

"One battalion and one sentry came out." Wu Yunna ordered.

"Da da da!"

The sound of neat hoofbeats sounded, and 240 cavalrymen jumped out at a whistle.

"Run!" Wu Yunna ordered again.

The officer on the sentry whip whipped his horse and spurred his horse into a gallop. The sound of neat hoofbeats caused more than 200 people to run away from the crowd of thousands of troops.

"shoot!"

"Bah, bang, bang!" A sentry cavalryman picked up a Type II electric musket on his horse and fired while running.

"Knife!"

The officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion quickly put away their muskets and hung them on their horses, and drew out their sharp sabers from their waists.

"Back!"

The cavalry sentry officers and soldiers turned their horses and ran back to the camp.

The entire drill was crisp and neat, with skillful movements, reflecting a strong level of training.

"Okay!" Lin Feng praised loudly.

"Brother Lin, how do you think our cavalry battalion's soldiers are training?" Wu Yunna asked with an air of quickly praising me.

"They are well-trained and well-trained, and they are really good. I didn't expect that our Yun Na is still a good soldier in training." Lin Feng praised, such a unit is indeed worthy of praise.

"Of course, we Mongolian girls grew up on horses, so of course we can lead and train troops." Wu Yunna said proudly.

"In the afternoon, your cavalry brigade will continue to organize drills. I will go to Zhenming Ordnance Factory and Zhenming Chemical Industry to check it out, and then I will have dinner with your cavalry brigade in the evening." Lin Feng said.

"You have to stay here at night." Wu Yunna immediately requested.

"Okay!" Lin Feng agreed. It has been more than three months since the division of troops in early April to mid-July. Lin Feng naturally misses the little fierce girl.

After coming out of the cavalry brigade camp, Lin Feng first went to Zhenming Ordnance Factory. The focus of the ordnance factory has been transferred to Jiazhou, but the scale remaining in Fugu is not small, especially the R&D center still remains here.

Zhao Zhixin also came back from Jiazhou and was taking Kong Bin to think about improvements to the fire gun.

"Zhixin, how is the production capacity of Fugu Ordnance Factory now?" Lin Feng asked. "Sir, Fugu can produce 300 Type II fire guns, 500 thunderbolts, and about 200 sets of new plate armor every month. Cold weapons and swords are no longer produced. The Logistics Department has laid down orders for these tasks. Give it to Sledgehammer Iron Art." Zhao Zhixin replied.

"Yes, two months of production capacity can equip an infantry battalion. Have you researched new ordnance during this time?" Lin Feng then asked.

"Sir, we want to improve the Type II Fire Gun and try to increase the rate of fire and range. We have been considering some suggestions, but the results are not very good. I would like to ask your advice, sir." Zhao Zhixin said.

"Relying on loading gunpowder for shooting, no matter how fast it is, it can't get much faster. Now in the short term, ammunition can be improved and paper shells can be produced. The gunpowder is sealed in a paper shell according to the amount of powder, and when used, just tear it open and pour it in. .

In the long term, it is necessary to develop bullets that integrate gunpowder and warhead, which does not require separate loading of gunpowder, and can greatly increase the rate of fire. Lin Feng replied after thinking for a moment.

"Sir, we can understand the paper shell bullet, and it is easier to implement. But how can this be fired without gunpowder?" Zhao Zhixin asked.

Lin Feng picked up a piece of paper on the table and rolled it up while gesturing: "Put the gunpowder into the metal cartridge case, develop a firing powder at the tail, and then change the flintlock device into a firing pin. When it hits the tail, it will generate heat, triggering Ignite the gunpowder inside and fire the warhead out. This allows for rapid loading and firing, and even continuous firing."

Zhao Zhixin suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the principle. The projectile and gunpowder are integrated, which can greatly increase the loading time. But what kind of raw material is used for this primer?"

"The primer must be easy to burn. I heard that the reaction between mercury and acid can produce a very flammable substance. You can study the chemical basics I gave you last time and try several times to produce a primer, but be careful. To be safe, the test volume should be smaller." Lin Feng explained.

"Understood, thank you for your advice." Zhao Zhixin always gets great inspiration every time he talks to Lin Feng, and he has long regarded Lin Feng as a god.

"Zhixin, we have recently negotiated peace with the imperial court. You can write a letter back to the capital to see if there are any other talents in your family who can be recruited into the Zhenming Army." Lin Feng said to him.

"That's great. I haven't contacted my family for a long time. Many people in our family are engaged in making firearms. Of course it is the best to come to Zhenming Army." Zhao Zhixin replied.

"Okay, just write a letter and hand it over to Tingfengwei to deliver it to you. Please propose the necessary funds together. If someone from your family comes over, each person will be given twenty taels of housing allowance. If there are special needs , you can also report it." Lin Feng said, talents are the most precious these days.

"Thank you, sir. I'll go back and write a letter immediately." Zhao Zhixin said happily.

"Okay, you guys get busy first, I'll go to Zhenming Chemical to have a look." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he left.

Zhenming Chemical relocated some of its perfume and soap workshops to Jiazhou, and its main businesses such as coking and alkali production remain in Fugu, so Zhenming Chemical's shopkeeper Li Changji also remains here.

Lin Feng looked around and found that production here was normal. It’s just that the weather is hot now, the sales of wool products are not good, and the amount of wool degreasing is much less.

"Changji, it is inconvenient to relocate chemical production such as coking, and there are more coal resources around Fugu, so this area will remain in Fugu. The other Zhenming industries in the Fudong compound will also be handed over to you. You Our responsibilities are also very heavy and we need to coordinate and manage them well." Lin Feng explained.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely work hard." Lin Feng helped clear away the grievances in Li Changji's family, so he is very loyal.

"Okay, the group will not treat you veterans badly. Have you received the equity certificate last time?" Lin Feng asked.

"I got it. It's so beautiful and worth so much money. I originally followed you to repay your kindness, but how could I become rich?" Li Changji scratched his head and said.

"Haha, isn't this contradictory? If you work hard, you will definitely get good rewards."

"Understood!" Li Changji responded.

After a round of inspection, it was already dinner time when we returned to the Cavalry Brigade. Lin Feng came to inspect today, and the cavalry brigade also organized a banquet. A large pot of stewed mutton was served with white flour flatbread, and a jar of wine was served on each table.

After Lin Feng told him to keep the officers on duty, he started drinking from a big bowl with the officers and soldiers of the cavalry brigade. To win the support of the officers and soldiers at this time, he had to have fun with the soldiers and drink from a big bowl.

Dinner was not long, Lin Feng and Wu Yunna returned to the room after toasting with wine.

"Brother Lin, I miss you." The little fierce girl from the grassland was still the most direct.

"I also miss my prairie lark. Why don't you stop being a brigade general and come back to Jiazhou with me?" Lin Feng said.

"That won't work. I don't want to be a canary locked up at home. I want to conquer the world for Brother Lin." Wu Yunna said with her little fists.

Lin Feng hugged Wu Yunna lovingly, touched her face and said: "Our lark is the most capable. You should train a few generals and let them fight for you. From now on, you can be responsible for commanding by my side."

"That's okay. After a while, if Urentua's prestige is higher, the cavalry brigade can be handed over to her."

"What about Hong Tu?" Lin Feng asked.

"Let him lead an army alone. The troops I trained must be handed over to Urentua.

"Okay, it's all up to you. I'll make some adjustments to the cavalry brigade when the time comes. Your stations are indeed too scattered now and it's not easy to manage. Hongtu can lead a large battalion of a thousand people alone, so he can be independent It’s an army." Lin Feng said.

"Brother Lin, don't talk about these official matters now, hug me quickly!" The prairie girl's body began to heat up.

Of course, Lin Feng was not a vegetarian. He picked up Wu Yunna and went to bed. A fierce fight began. Even the moon outside was so shy that it hid in the clouds, and the world fell into darkness. (End of chapter)
