Although he looks tired in front of him, he is full of energy from the point of view of spirit. Wang Tie Zhongwei Zheng said with a face of excitement, "Master Wang, I have come to thank you for coming …"
"Without your factory to work overtime to create hundreds of spears, our butch army could not have won the battle against encirclement and suppression. Not only that, but all of us will fall into the hands of Tatars and become Tatar slaves again …"
Although the tiger and leopard army was not recognized by the imperial court, in any case, the tiger and leopard army has Galway, and no one in the army can provoke it.
In Wang Tie’s eyes, Wei Zheng, the highest officer of the Tiger and Leopard Army, could not bow to his own department no matter how good he was, because this kind of behavior of advocating Confucianism and governing the country was definitely laughed at by literati.
Facing Wei Zheng thanks Wang Tiezhong for half a minute, but there is still no response.
Until behind wake up to a face of nervous kneeling on Weizheng said.
"General, these are all things we should do … without the general, you don’t have the tiger and leopard army, and all of us are still slaves in the hands of Dalai … all these things are things we should do when we can’t be a general. Thank you."
Wei Zheng nodded and lifted Wang Tiezhong up conveniently, then said, "Master Wang came here today to thank all your brothers in the factory, and there is another important thing for you to help …"
"Please ask the general to tell me that Wang Tie and the whole factory can do it and will do it at all costs …"
Wei Zheng didn’t answer, but ordered to the rear, "Bring the things here and let Master Wang have a look first …"
"It’s the general …"
A dozen soldiers who followed Wei Zheng quickly wrapped the Tartars tents seized in their arms in bundles of matchlock guns and piled them up in front of them.
Weizheng motioned to open the wrapped tent, and after the sun shone, the dense cold light matchlock gun appeared in front of Wang Tie like magic.
I am excited to see once again that the matchmaker was born in Wang Tie and his face quickly emerged.
Picked up a matchlock gun from the ground and began to appreciate it.
However, when the matchlock gun was held by Wang Tiezhong, Wang Tie was still excited and his facial expression was quickly replaced by dignity.
Speak frankly to Wei Zheng when answering, "General, these matchlock guns are made by cutting corners. The waste barrel is too thin, and at most three shots will blow the chamber to make it …"
With that, Wang Tiezhong threw his foot into a pile of matchlock guns just like throwing garbage.
Wang Tie can see at a glance that this pile of matchsticks is good or bad enough to say that Wang Tiezhong, a blacksmith, built matchsticks before, otherwise Wang Tiezhong wouldn’t feel so strong about matchsticks. Just weigh them in his hand and judge whether these matchsticks are good or bad …
Thought of here, Wei Zheng looked at Wang Tie, and his eyes became more and more important. He said with a face of emotion, "Master Wang, another purpose of my coming here today is to kill these matchlock guns …"
"I remember you said that you used to build muskets for the imperial court. In that case, you will definitely build muskets."
"My idea is to give these cold weapons, such as javelin and pike, to his craftsmen while beating off the Tatars, and you specialize in making matchlock guns …"
"Give me a batch of qualified muskets from the Butch and Panther Army …"
Wang Tiezhong suddenly froze and looked incredible and asked, "Build muskets … General, we really want to build our own muskets …"
"Yes …" Weizheng said firmly.
Then Wang Tiezhong, with a pair of eyes full of excitement, continued, "We should not only build a musket, but also build the most advanced musket in our dynasty. I will stay in the weapon factory for a while and work with you to build a new musket that we have never seen in our dynasty …"
The barrel of a dozen kilograms heavy matchlock gun was re-melted and refined, and then the big hammer in Wang Tiezhong’s hand continued to beat the steel with smaller and smaller carbon content from pig iron step by step.
Staring at the fiery red iron block in front of me, Wang Tie’s hand slowly turned into an iron bar, and then turned into a uniform thickness sticker. He kept guarding the Wei Zheng next to him except marveling or marveling.
Wang Tiezhong, who was flushed with long-term stress after re-quenching the paste, said excitedly, "The general is going to build a musket barrel … Our most common way is to roll a paste into a barrel …"
Although this barrel building technology is backward, it is the best process to understand the musket production technology in this era more intuitively. There is no opinion.
After nodding his head, he met Wang Tie’s burning eyes and replied, "But … I don’t speak when I study the first musket … I’ll watch while you continue …"
"It’s the general …"
Another day later, a gun barrel, which looked very uniform on the surface, appeared in Wang Tiezhong’s hand.
As for Wei Zheng, Wang Tiezhong once again picked up an iron bar with a smooth surface and said to Wei Zheng, "Although you can’t see anything on the surface of the general barrel … the barrel can’t meet the requirements of the matchlock gun …"
It took another whole day to polish, and then a molded barrel finally appeared in Weizheng’s hand.
After selecting the good parts from the seized matchlock guns, an officer’s army is generally equipped with matchlock guns, which is caused.
With enough raw materials and time, the first feeling of this matchlock gun to Wei Zheng is that it is heavy …
The gun department adds up to ten Jin less.
Let’s take a look at the most important barrel of the matchlock gun. The difference is that the barrel of this matchlock gun in hand is less, and the visual range is very uniform and polished by sandpaper.
Wei Zheng looked excited when he admired the matchlock in his hand over and over again. Wang Tie Zhongda assured him, "General, I can guarantee that this matchlock will never explode on the battlefield …"
"In addition, this gun wall has been polished very smoothly, and the one hundred-step firing can definitely penetrate the armor of the Tatar. From the range, this matchlock gun can suppress the ordinary archers of the Tatar …"
After an hour-long gun test, the power of this matchlock gun was directly unexpected to everyone.
A hundred meters away, the matchlock gun fired a lead bullet and easily penetrated and seized two layers of armor …
One hundred and fifty meters easily penetrate a layer of armor …
Easily penetrate and seize tartar leather armor at a distance of 200 meters …
In terms of power, this musket has temporarily met the requirements of the defense, but the shooting method is very unsatisfactory.
Firing muskets by means of matchrope not only has very strict requirements on the battlefield weather, but also has a great influence on the quality of gunmen. In a battle, gunmen must carry matchrope with them with sufficient length …
After personally shooting a lead shot, Wang Tiezhong argued that he was still immersed in excitement behind him.
"Master Wang’s power is good, but whether the firing can be changed … If we continue to rely on the matchlock for firing, these matchlock guns will become a pile of scrap iron in rainy days …"
Wang Tie’s eyebrows twisted and his face puzzled. "But General, I have been building a musket since I taught myself. I have never touched or heard of his firing method …"
A pair of puzzled eyes stared at Wei Zheng and explained all the theories and techniques of flintlock in his mind as detailed as possible.
Of course, among more than a dozen people around Weizheng, except Wang Tiezhong, who nodded from time to time, everyone else looked blank.
Wei Zheng said that after a full cup of tea, Wang Tie Zhongcai looked hard to answer, "General, you said that although it makes sense, after all, there is no real thing. Many things need to be tried and tested to finalize the design … What you said was that the flintlock gun was made by the factory method in a short time …"
If Wang Tie can understand what he said, he has already made a big statement. If you add a statement, you don’t want to build a flintlock for yourself in front of Wang Tie Zhongneng Ma.
After waving his hand at Wang Tiezhong, he said, "Master Wang, I didn’t let you build a horse."
"From today on, you will build a matchlock gun, and at the same time, you will also talk about the research on flintlock guns. Catch up and strive to break through these technologies as soon as possible, and it is difficult to produce our own new muskets …"
Chapter 40 Kill two birds with one stone (for collection! )
When Wei Zhengpao Weapons Factory and Wang Tiezhong studied the flintlock together,
After several days of reconnaissance, Wang Feng has returned to the barracks with information.
Come without a rest, drag yourself tired and find Weizheng with Zhaoyun.
As soon as the three men entered the headquarters, Wang Feng eagerly reported, "We have all investigated the situation outside the General Mountain … We have found a stronghold where Dalai came to detain slaves and hoard seized materials …"
"Three Tunpu strongholds are the largest in this stronghold …"
"Because of the three tunpu surrounded by a wall as high as a battle, two thousand slaves were put inside the Tatar. In addition, a large number of food and materials were seized in Zunhua, and a large part of them were hoarded here …"
