The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The rules and regulations of changshengying warehouse are very strict, and the inventory is quite abundant. Shen Shikui takes the signed and signed handwriting and directly goes to the warehouse to pick up the goods. The following process is very smooth.

However, this is after all 200000 stone grain and grass. It is not a war time at this time. It is impossible for children and coolies to accompany Shen Shikui to work day and night. It will take at least one day or two days for Shen Shikui to finish moving the grain and grass.

After solving Shen Shikui's affairs, Li Yuanqing also had more time and energy to gather together to carry out the northern strategy.

There is a saying in Zeng an's mind that "Jiang Zhili should be the first to fight against the outside world".

Li Yuanqing deeply thought of this sentence.

To put it bluntly, only by doing a good job in one's ability and taking care of one's own "one acre and three parts of land" can we consider others and be qualified to consider others.

Otherwise, the foundation is not stable, and everything is just wishful thinking?

A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step!

At this time, holding such a high position, Li Yuanqing naturally could not make the mistake of high vision and low hand.

At this time, after so many years of hard work and painstaking efforts by Li Yuanqing, the system of Changsheng camp was basically stable, including the structure of the whole southern Liaoning Province, which was also tending to be stable.

In terms of "internal affairs", Li Yuanqing doesn't have to worry too much.

The most important thing is the surrounding environment, as well as the spears and shields of the army.

After all, in the present system of Changsheng camp, all officers, including Duan Xiliang and Kong Youde, only have the power to unify the army, but not to transfer troops. Li Yuanqing is the only one in charge of military affairs!

But even if Li Yuanqing wants to make a decision, he will always hold an internal meeting of the military, so that the main boys and girls can participate in the meeting and discuss with each other before throwing out a resolution!

As for government affairs, Li Yuanqing chose to delegate power in a wide range, and then used rules to check and balance.

As Taizu famously said, "a gun comes out of power.".

Li Yuanqing, the main force of the army, is always around. He is afraid that those who don't have guns will play with him?

Not to mention, the whole structure of the political affairs department is Li Yuanqing's immediate confidants. However, because of all kinds of disputes and numerous small factions, who can dare to "make waves" in such a system?

Shortly after Shen Shikui left, Li Yuanqing came to the ordnance workshop to inspect its work.

As for Li Yuanqing's sudden arrival, although Xu Liang and Mr. Yang Peifu, the directors of the ordnance workshop, were not prepared, they were already familiar with Li Yuanqing's "private visit" for a long time, and naturally there would be no misgiving.

The ordnance workshop is the most important and absolute core of Changsheng camp, including the whole southern Liaoning Province. Li Yuanqing not only gives them generous salaries, but also gives them top-notch treatment in all aspects.

Who dares to set foot in such a place?

After all, old man Yang Peifu is old and inconvenient to walk. After a few words of greetings with Li Yuanqing, he goes back to his public house to have a rest. Xu Liang and Joseph lead Li Yuanqing to the "production line" that Li Yuanqing attaches great importance to.

When Li Yuanqing finished watching it in person and returned to the public housing, the old man Yang Peifu gave a comprehensive report to Li Yuanqing.

The so-called "production line" here is not a real ordnance production line, but a small production line for explosive bags, hand grenades, gunpowder and pellets.

For this trip to the north, Li Yuanqing from the planning, quite far-reaching.

Instead of carrying a large number of war readiness materials, slowing down the pace of the children and creating a heavy burden of marching, how can we use local materials and make use of the existing local conditions to process and produce on the spot?

In particular, with the support of the strong fleet of Changsheng camp and many experienced old craftsmen in the ordnance workshop, Changsheng camp had the ability to construct the front-line production line at this time.

How could Li Yuanqing not use it? seek far and neglect what lies close at hand?

However, the production lines for explosive bags, hand grenades and explosives are relatively simple, but the production lines for lead bombs are more complicated.

It's mainly lead. No one can guarantee that it can be found anywhere.

In the small workshop of the production line, Xu Liang said with a smile: "commander in chief, I have had several discussions with Mr. Yang, Mr. Joseph, as well as Thomas, Peter and other colleagues on the issue of lead bullets. I think we can take five of them to the base line. If you can use it, it's the best. If we can't use it, we'll take more ready-made supplies. After all, the lead bomb is not too heavy. Each child, even if he carries 1000 hair, will not cause too much burden of marching. It is mainly the production line control of explosive package and hand grenade

"Commander in chief, I have also carefully analyzed the recent large-scale battles of our army. To a large extent, in a large-scale war, the frequency of opening Spears was about 50 rounds. This is a humble job, calculated at the level of the highest intensity in a day. If the campaign lasted ten days, it would be 500 lead bullets. Therefore, commander-in-chief, the preliminary quantity of lead bullets given to the children by my humble position is from 3000 to 5000... "Xu Liang said in detail that he had a careful summary of the recent large-scale battles in Changsheng camp, and Li Yuanqing also nodded slowly.

There is no doubt about Xu Liang's ability.

The old one and the small one complement each other. It can be said that Li Yuanqing inadvertently made a magic stroke.

Xu Liang said at this time that in a large-scale war, the number of lead bullets consumed by a bird's blunderbuss soldier was 50 rounds per day, which was basically the war consumption under the highest intensity on the day of the decisive battle.

But in fact, in the ordinary stalemate, the consumption of lead bullets of the bird gun soldier Erlang was far less than that, and the average number was about 10 rounds.

At this time, about 50 qualified lead bullets can be made with one or two silver coins.

Each person carries 5000 lead bullets, which means that Li Yuanqing has to pay 100 Liang silver for an ordinary bird and spear soldier.

Even if Li Yuanqing is rich and generous, he will inevitably have some flesh ache.

What the hell is war Clearly, it is burning silver!

However, "when the cannon goes off, gold is ten thousand taels.".

As long as we can guarantee the main force of the Ming army, we still have to worry about whether we can earn the money back?

If there were so much ammunition in reserve, Li Yuanqing estimated that it would not be a big problem for the Ming army to attack Moscow or even St. Petersburg.

"Xu Liang, this is a good thing. be prepared against want. Be prepared to be free from trouble! The army's March has lasted for a long time, far from being a feat of one place and one time. I'm very glad that you can think so far-reaching! "

Xu Liang was overjoyed at the moment, but he took a careful look at Li Yuanqing and hesitated for a moment. Then he cautiously said, "commander in chief, I have a humble position. I have an ungrateful request for you..."

"Well?"

Li Yuanqing's eyelids turned slightly. For a moment, he said with a smile: "between you and me, do you still need this? If you have something to say, it is. "

"Yes."

Xu Liang was overjoyed and said, "commander in chief, I'm humble. This time, I want to go with the commander in chief..."

"Well?"

Li Yuanqing's eyebrows did not help but wrinkle slightly. For a moment, he also understood Xu Liang's meaning.

At this time, the island's environment is competition, competition, and competition.

Although his contribution to the military equipment workshop of Xu Liang is not small, after all, it is only a logistics work, especially this guy has a baby son this year.

I'm afraid This guy wants to fight his life and make a big future for his precious son

For a moment, Li Yuanqing laughed: "Xu Liang, it's a good thing that you want to go to war. If you are here, I can rest assured in ordnance and supplies. However, what should be done with the affairs of the weapons workshop? "

Xu Liang said with a smile: "commander-in-chief, in the improvement of the military flag, master Yang's means and experience are more than those of humble position. Even in the extremely cold climate, our new type of bird gun can guarantee at least 15 rounds of firing without explosion. In particular, Mr. Yang and his several people are very familiar with the composition of iron ware. Dashai, at this time, the new technology of our Changsheng camp is already the best in Daming. With Mr. Yang sitting in the town himself, over time, there will be further improvement. And humble duty Hey, hey I also want to follow the commander-in-chief's side and continue to broaden our horizons. "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing.

But for a moment, he suddenly remembered that, at this time, in Europe, the military might have begun to equip with secondary firing guns.

Don't underestimate it. This is just a small progress in the ignition and shooting device. For war, especially for large-scale war, it is a great step forward!

It can be said that the emergence of the secondary firing gun device has directly promoted the war of mankind from the semi firearm era to the firearm era!

But ~ ~ ~, even if Lao maozi had been equipped with a suing gun, Li Yuanqing was not guilty at all.

Because the new type of blunderbuss in Changsheng camp has a stable range of over 100 paces, that is, from 100 meters to 120 meters. In this area, it can directly and steadily break armour.

Especially downwind, or high and low, the distance will only be further.

This is the basic data tested under the worst conditions.

According to Lao maozi's urine nature, how can a group of slaves and poor people, who are not tolerated by the mainstream European society, get the most advanced secondary firing guns in France?

Even if they are equipped with advanced equipment, their range is far from comparable to the new type of blunderbuss of Changsheng camp.

The big deal is that the two sides are fighting hand to hand. Li Yuanqing would like to see how much difference there is between his elite boys and the so-called fighting nation!

"It is. Not in a hurry. Xu Liang, you should settle all the things here for me first, and then make a condition with Laozi! "

"Yes."

Xu Liang hastened to bow his hand respectfully, and his heart was filled with joy.

The meaning of the commander's words is that as long as he can settle the weapons workshop properly, then ~, follow the main force of the army to go out to war, is not it a certainty?

He is not stupid. How could he waste such a good opportunity?After inspecting the production line with Xu Liang and Joseph, Li Yuanqing and his party went to a small public house with warm and direct sunlight for tea and a temporary rest.

Because the weapon workshop is located on the high side of the mountain, the angle of sunlight is more sufficient. It is quite comfortable to come here to bask in the sun.

After drinking some hot tea, Joseph, who had not had time to speak today, was a little impatient. When he finally got the chance, he asked Li Yuanqing carefully: "noble commander, are you not going to carry guns this time? You know, artillery, especially the 3-pound gun and the 6-pound gun, is the real king of the field at this time. As long as our artillery boys are here, their humble position can guarantee that they can lie down and go back as many as they have. "

Of course, Li Yuanqing understood what Joseph meant.

As the deputy director of the ordnance workshop, this guy is in charge of artillery affairs. How can he allow such a large-scale war? What's the matter without their artillery?

For a moment, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Joseph, the difficulty of artillery lies in that it is difficult to carry and move during the long journey. We have to travel thousands of miles on this trip! Do you have any new ideas and insights in this area? "
