Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Under the high sun, two armies, each unaware of the other's existence, were approaching each other.Suddenly, the sentries who went out each discovered the existence of the other party.After a period of entanglement, fighting, breakout, and interception, the leaders of the two teams learned about the current situation from the escaped detective.

Immediately, according to the map in their hands, the leaders of the two teams made the decision to seize the high ground on the side of the road.The two sides split a force and drove towards the high ground rapidly, one of them was faster and the other was closer.Soon, the two parties who climbed to the summit almost at the same time collided head-on on the top of the high ground, and the battle began immediately.

While the fighting on the high ground caused countless casualties, the main forces of the two teams that were slowly advancing finally faced each other in a relatively flat depression near the high ground.After a short rest, the two parts, which initially regained their physical strength, officially played against each other.Artillery fired streams of shot and shot at the opponent.The soldiers who endured the enemy's artillery fire ignored their comrades who were knocked down by the splashing lead bullets, and continued to move forward tenaciously until they broke through the coverage of the artillery fire.

One hundred steps, eighty steps, when the opponent's face was clearly printed in his sight, a burst of white gunpowder smoke suddenly rose to cover it up again.Of course, this side was not to be outdone, and also slanted out a row of salvos. Countless people fell miserably under the flying bullets. As the firepower of each other suddenly weakened, hand-to-hand combat began.

The main battlefield was littered with corpses, and the high ground finally decided the winner.The winning side had no time to pursue the opponent, and immediately pulled up the light artillery.With the support of artillery, the soldiers who continued to stabilize rushed down like tigers, and immediately became the last straw that crushed the opponent.

With one wing breached, the losing side finally retreats, yet most of the casualties of this era occurred while retreating.I saw that the opponent who was happy to kill did not consider the possibility of the loser's possible cornered beast, and continued to invest in strength to carry out repeated charges.However, the infantry's impact is limited, but those few light armored cavalry caused a terrible blood loss to the opponent.

The sun was setting and the battle was finally over. Soldiers cleaning the battlefield ran towards the commander. In the large tent that was hastily set up, there were people coming and going, reporting the results of the battle, reporting the loss, accepting the next new order, and more importantly. It's the post-war summary

Well, the above scenes are all imaginations in Zheng Kezang's mind.In fact, the actual military exercise between the first bidder of the boy camp and the Kunlun bid that he once arranged did not proceed.There are naturally many reasons for this, but no matter how you sum it up, the most important are just two points.

One is that the strength of the two parties scheduled for the parade is not equal: although the Kunlun Piao without artillery, firecrackers, or even bows and crossbows supports them, although there are many people, they will definitely not be able to face the fully armed first Piao. On the other hand, if the first standard is allowed to give up the artillery, firecrackers and Kunlun standard, then this drill, which Zheng Kezang places great hope on, may be completely reduced to a performance of cold weapons.

Of course, this is not the most critical point. On the real battlefield, the phenomenon of cold weapons fighting hot weapons is not completely absent. If you perform exercises with such settings, you can still see a hearty killing, even Cold weapons against cold weapons can also understand the effectiveness of military discipline in improving combat capabilities and the true meaning of the so-called gun quilt formation and hollow gun formation.

But the crux of the problem is that in the Chinese army in the Ming Dynasty and before the Ming Dynasty, generals relied more on force and famous generals on experience, and there was no perfect method of pre-war analysis and post-war summary. Several books on the Art of War have also become metaphysical decorations, so even if Zheng Kezang appointed a few staff officers, they could not integrate the drill outline required by Zheng Kezang, let alone imagine some possible accidental factors.

So Zheng Kezang can only let them go back to the furnace, and he tells them how to preset the scene, evaluate the casualties, draw up and revise the regulations of the director department-since Zheng Kezang was just an Internet writer in his previous life, a lot of knowledge is on the Internet The harmonious version I found is at most a half-tone that is not even considered an enthusiast, so many problems have to be discussed repeatedly before they can be tried and tested. Time is devoted to Scout business, so the drill originally scheduled for early September can only become nowhere in sight

"Liu Qing is here!" Just as Zheng Kezang had a splitting headache because of the boy scout joint exercise, Zhu Jin, who had just received a batch of military supplies from Dongning, seemed in a very good mood. "Come on, take a look at the weapons sent this time, there are good things inside!"

One of the good things that Zhu Jin talked about was the wart armor produced by Zheng Kezang with a hydraulic forging hammer---the chain mail produced at the same time was produced at the number of [-] sets per month, and even the Boy Scouts of Zheng Kezang's direct line did not It is naturally impossible to send it to Siming if it is fully equipped --- this kind of Qingtang wart armor, which is slightly stronger than chain mail, is too heavy, so it is not liked by Zheng Kezang. In the eyes of Zheng's senior military officers, it is a good treasure enough to be handed down from generation to generation.

"Gu tried within [-] steps, Ershi's strong bow could not penetrate even the armor, and it was only able to pierce at [-] steps, but it took [-] steps to penetrate the whole arrowhead. "Zhu Jin seemed to be in high spirits. It's no wonder that Zheng Kezang found such a sophisticated armor from the pile of old papers to make it appear in the world. As a father, he couldn't help but feel gratified. "Twenty steps, Liu Qing, at twenty steps, do archers still dare to shoot arrows in front of the soldiers?" Of course not, at this distance, the opponent will charge up within a few breaths. Archery at this time, he is either looking for death or a bold person with high skills. "And this is a strong bow with two stones. A weaker bow will be even more unbearable."

Liu Guoxuan's face also showed joy when he heard that. Now more than [-] Qing troops are piled up on the front line of Chaozhou to face Zheng Jun, who has no more than [-] people. It can't be said, at least it's like sending charcoal in a timely manner.

So Liu Guoxuan asked: "Your Majesty, how many collars are there for this batch of armor? How much more can Taiwan send?"

"There are a total of five hundred leaders in this batch." Feng Xifan, who was beside Zhu Jin, explained on his behalf. "It's all that Dongning has accumulated over the past year."

There are many reasons for the low output. At the beginning, it was because of the problem of the hydraulic forging hammer. Although Zheng Keshuang minimized the number of connecting parts, due to poor control of design tolerances and pig iron parts being brittle, lacking toughness, and easy to damage, etc. It has always caused the hydraulic forging hammer to operate poorly. Although these problems have been improved one after another, the insufficient production of iron materials in Taiwan has become a new restrictive factor at this time.

"Three months later, Dongning will send another [-] collars."

"Five hundred collars?" Liu Guoxuan pondered for a while, then directly ignored the existence of the fifty armors behind. "Although there are still deficiencies, it is barely enough."

"What Uncle Wu Ping said is true." Feng Xifan echoed half-truthfully. "According to the joint report of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, the descendants have invited famous armor makers among the barbarians to try to make Iron Man Armor. If all goes well, there will be better armor for the entire army by this time next year." At this time, the two A guard brought two firecrackers, one of which was handed over to the inexplicable Liu Guoxuan. "This is the firecracker produced by the clan itself. It is extremely exquisite in workmanship. It was specially made by the descendants for the boy camp. Now that there are a large number of them, it is sent to the front of the army." Feng Xifan's words seem to explain, but in fact the connotation is transferred The meaning is that Zhu Jin was too excited just now, and now he looks tired and doesn't pay attention. Although Liu Guoxuan can hear it a little bit, he doesn't want to wade into this muddy water yet, so he doesn't agree. "Wu Pingbo let's see what's different."

"Tap fire?" Liu Guoxuan saw at a glance the main difference between this firecracker and the birdcrack that Zheng Jun is currently using. "The serving size has also increased. No wonder. It turns out that the barrel of the gun is much thicker than the bird's gun. I'm afraid it's not easy to handle."

Zhu Jin laughed at the side: "Liu Qing really has bright eyes, so let's see how the demonstration is."

While talking, one of the guards took out a paper tube, bit open one end, poured part of the gunpowder into the gun barrel, then stuffed the whole paper tube in, pressed it with a cleaning rod, and finally put the loaded gunpowder into the gun barrel. The gun is clamped to a wooden support.

"Bring five sets of the light armor that I am used to." The five sets of armor are stacked to form a target. The distance of the target is set at a hundred paces. Liu Guoxuan saw the guard tremble and almost didn't fall down. "I've fought three times, why can't I still not get used to this huge force?" Zhu Jin was a little dissatisfied, but didn't make further use of it. "Bring the target and show it to Uncle Wu Ping."

Liu Guoxuan took a closer look. Although the shooter shook his body, he still hit the target. There was a big hole in the first layer, and there were signs of destruction on the second layer. On the armor piece, but with Liu Guoxuan's experience, under this level of impact, the ribs of the soldier wearing the armor would have been broken long ago.

"This kind of firecracker can penetrate two layers of cotton armor within fifty steps, and the Qing army would be shattered even if they were wearing three layers of cotton armor." Feng Xifan introduced again. "Your Majesty named it the deer blunderbuss because it can kill a deer with one blow, to show the difference from ordinary bird blunderbusses." Feng Xifan paused. "Five hundred deer guns have also been shipped this time."

"How high is the rage rate of Tap Fire?" Liu Guoxuan, as expected of an old soldier, immediately asked the most critical question. "Also, what happened to the paper tube?"

"It is said that the ignition rate of the tap fire is [-]% on weekdays, and it is said to be [-]% even in heavy rain." Feng Xifan answered one by one. "As for the paper tube that Uncle Wu Ping saw just now, Shisun was afraid that the boy scouts would stuff gunpowder at will without knowing the severity, so he put each part of gunpowder and lead into a paper tube. Outside the fire door, all the rest can be stuffed in, which saves the musketeer from calculating the medicine, but it needs to be carefully cleaned after firing, and the production is quite cumbersome."

"It doesn't matter if it's complicated," Liu Guoxuan naturally saw the benefits of custom clothing at a glance. "Will it be damp if you just wrap it in a paper roll?"

Feng Xifan took out a leather bag: "Shisun made shark and kun fish skins to make waterproof outsourcing. As long as the whole thing is not submerged in water, it can be guaranteed that the gunpowder will not get wet."

"It's a clever idea." Liu Guoxuan praised, and then leaned over to Zhu Jinyi. "I also ask you to transfer more deer guns from Dongning."

"I'm afraid it's not easy!" Zhu Jin sighed. "Dongning lacks iron, so even if you have fine armor and weapons, you can't make more. Therefore, Liu Qing, please take care of everything in the war. You must occupy more Fujian and transport more manpower and materials for Dongning."
