On the flagship "Southeast Asia No. 1," various telescopes of the long gun and short cannon type gathered, looking at the smoke billowing on the shore in the distance, the staff officers let out bursts of exclamations.

That's good luck!

Whether it is for the national fortunes of the southeastern country, the prestige of the leader, the personal wisdom of the chief of the general staff Gan Hui, and the soldiers and civilians trapped in the city of Mumbai, it is extremely lucky.

After the war in the Ottoman Empire came to an end temporarily, the leader returned to the east, preparing to return to the southeast and the Ming Dynasty, and the chief of staff Gan Hui who was traveling with him thought that the opportunity was rare, and he should stop more on the way, at least at the big and important ports, in order to publicize the leader's force!

The staff officers still remember that when they planned to go to publicize the good news, Gan Hui pointed his finger and landed on the city of Mumbai!

This finger is really a bit of iron into gold!

If it weren't for the fact that all the information in the past had been in the hands of the staff officers, the staff officers would have thought that he had received the news in advance and acted intentionally, so as to show his wisdom and foresight.

And the leader gladly complied with it, and saved the city of Mumbai from falling.

HOWEVER, THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF ENEMIES ON THE SHORE, AND IT IS NOT KNOWN WHETHER THE ARMY WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD IT.

"Look!" Someone shouted.

Five red fireworks flew over the city of Mumbai, and immediately a staff officer shouted: "100,000 enemy troops!" ”

The signal of the Southeastern Army was fully set, one red firework bomb indicated that there were 20,000 enemy troops, and five was 100,000.

"100,000 enemy troops! Yes, the more you come, the faster you can solve it. In the main cabin, Yan Changwu threw it on the table after reading the information, his face was as usual, and he didn't take it seriously at all!

And the Gan Shen seat sitting in the cabin was the same, smiling, as if there was a million troops to deal with the enemy, and the little staff officer who sent the information peeked at the performance of the two big men and secretly admired it.

The junior staff officer is not high, but he is in the center, so he naturally knows that the strength of the fleet is strong, and there is no one to beat in the sea!

However, the battleships could not land, and the number of marines carried by them was 5,000 and the army was 2,000, and even if personnel were drawn from the navy to fight ashore, they would be 10,000 at most.

10,000 against the enemy's 100,000 people, although with the blessing of the leader's halo, the army is also a strong army, can it win and relieve the siege of Mumbai?

After the little staff officer left, Yan Changwu and Gan Hui were left in the cabin, and Yan Changwu said happily: "Gan Shenzao, your move is really like Prime Minister Zhuge 'ghost and god unpredictable'!" ”

Gan Hui said respectfully: "The minister is not Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, and the leader is not Queen Liu!" ”

"Good!" Yan Changwu said: "100,000 enemy troops, there are a lot of them, if our army fights hard, it will definitely be defeated!" ”

As a crossing Xiaoqiang, he is most afraid of death, so he doesn't think that he really has divine power and can fight with one enemy and ten, if he fights in ordinary mode.

"So!" Gan Hui stood up and said solemnly: "Respectfully, please enable the Niangniang artifact to fight!" ”

"Quasi-play!" Yan Changwu said.

There is actually a long time before the sailboat can arrive after seeing the land, and there is time to hold a brief ceremony for the flagship, please artifact!

On the deck of the flagship, Yan Changwu and the officers were dressed up, their medals were shining, the guards stood in clusters, lined up the incense table, lit the incense sticks, and offered the wine to Mazu Niangniang and the raw chickens that had just been killed on the warship--- which were supposed to be three animals, but there were no on the warship, and if there were raw chickens, they would be slaughtered to worship the gods.

Gan Hui recited the sacrificial text, showing the uneasiness of alarming the gods, and the compulsion to ask for the Mazu artifact, although it hurts the heavens and the peace, but for the sake of victory, for the health of thousands of believers in the southeast, the only way to ask for the Mazu artifact, after the victory, please sin Yunyun!

After reciting the sacrificial text, Gan Hui asked the leader to give the artifact!

The guards opened a beautiful box, and Yan Changwu took out a shiny musket from it.

Front-loading rifling of the Mini type, finalized as the Model 1645 musket.

Rifled guns actually appeared very early, and in 1476 A.D., there were spiral rifled guns in Italy, which were rifles.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the Danish army was the first to be equipped with rifles.

But before Yan Changwu, the production of rifles was complicated and expensive, and it was one thing to appear, and it was another thing to be able to afford it.

A smoothbore gun is a practical weapon, whereas a rifled gun is just an experimental weapon.

The main problem with rifled guns is that due to the engraving of rifling, it is difficult for the front-loading bullet to keep the chamber air-tight, and the power is greatly reduced. In order to achieve good breath-holding, rifled gun bullets are often made of the same caliber as the gun or even slightly larger, so it is extremely difficult to load. It is often necessary to hammer the ejector lever to propel the bullet into place, which often results in a more dangerous rifle rupture. When the bullet is advanced to the position of the medicine room, it is often deformed due to rough operation, and the killing effect cannot be achieved.

The Type 1645 musket of the Southeastern Republic used a round-tipped cylindrical shell lead bullet. Since this bullet is slightly smaller than the caliber of the rifle, it solves the embarrassing situation of the old rifle's frontloading bullet that cannot be stuffed into the barrel or clogs the barrel due to the large bullet.

It can be easily pushed into the chamber with a ram lever. Thus significantly increasing the rate of fire. The bullet is threaded around the body to match the rifling, and the middle of the thread is stuffed with animal oil. The bottom of the bullet uses a cork material.

When fired, gunpowder gases hit the cork, and the cork was hit by an instantaneous impact, and then the bullet was violently propped up. Because the bullet is stretched, the bullet itself can be relied on to complete the sealing of the chamber at the moment of firing without leaking gunpowder gases and causing the kinetic energy of the bullet to be lost. In this way, the problem of the chamber closure of the old front-loading gun was solved, the rate of fire of the gun was greatly enhanced, and the firing range and safety were good.

The drawing of rifling completes a technological breakthrough...... The rifling is machined on a wooden broaching machine, and the rifling guide, with a threaded groove, is pulled by means of two rings with a convex tenon and a diameter slightly larger than the guide...... Non-technical text, not much to say, the southeast country can produce a large number of qualified rifled guns.

Yan Changwu invested a lot of silver taels in the development of smoothbore guns, rifled guns, front-loading guns, and rear-loading guns soon after winning the country in the southeast, and achieved a lot of results, after all, he was standing on the shoulders of giants, he had this idea, and through the transformation of silver taels into his will, there is no doubt that China has capable craftsmen.

It can only be done with wisdom, silver, and manpower, and the forces of Yan Changwu on the earth can do it.

Front-loading rifled guns have formed a large-scale production capacity!

The rear-loading rifled gun was also completed under the development of the rear-loading rifled gun regardless of the cost, but the cost was too high and it was not installed for the time being.

Previously, the rear-loading rifled gun could only be glimpsed and used to kill the king with a stabbing gun, and it was never seen again.

And the front-loading rifled guns are also gone, Yan Changwu didn't let them appear, because his army plays smooth-bore guns and can defeat the enemy, so keep playing, why use expensive front-loading rifled guns?

Now it is not done, there are 10,000 against 100,000 troops, and 5,000 Type 1645 front-loading rifling wires stored on the transport ship must be escorted!

Give the gun!

Yan Changwu awarded the musket to Gan Hui, and then, Gan Hui solemnly took the gun, and then the officer representatives of each unit came out and also received the rifle given by the leader.

They skillfully reload and shoot into the sky!

Rumble!

The sound of the gun is crisp, compared to the muddy sound of the smoothbore gun, it is obviously the rifled gun gathering energy and more powerful.

Large-scale gun teaching, 5,000 Guards Marines took over the 1645 musket, this unit is the leader's personal guard, has long been trained in the use of the 1645 musket, and is very proficient in using it!

However, it is very strictly secrecy to recycle those that have been used on the shooting range, and not to send troops down, and to recycle as many muskets as they have issued.

In this way, 10,000 people of the Southeast Army were ready to land with guns on their shoulders and face 100,000 enemy troops!
