It is very easy to make, as long as you understand how to make it and ensure the quality of the raw materials, the village blacksmith can make it, which is nothing more than time-consuming.

However, if Beiyang and Xuanfu want to use the methods of the Nanyang Ordnance Bureau, it will take a long time to fix this process.

But they also have advantages, Xuanfu is an important border town, and there are a large number of military craftsmen who can be used as the production area of outsourced parts; Beiyang is adjacent to the canal, and the choice of outsourcing parts is wider.

In the future, the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau's manufacturing potential in this area will be higher than that of the Nanyang Ordnance Bureau.

In fact, the entire Ming Dynasty's weapons manufacturing potential has not been developed to half, and the world's various guards are useless to the Weapons Bureau, if this part of the military craftsmen can be as vibrant as the Nanyang Weapons Bureau, the manufacturing capacity of the Ming Dynasty weapons can make a big leap forward.

It's just that Chen Mu really doesn't have the ability to fully mobilize this force, and his current ability can only influence the local area through like-minded commanders and envoys, such as Wei Rushu, the commander of the enterprising Shandong Metropolitan Division.

Over there, the elite guards were dispatched to form a new military camp, and the drills were carried out in Dengzhou Wei, which was in full swing, and at the same time, the Ordnance Bureau was also being rectified, but Wei Rushu's prestige was limited, and the dispatching utensils craftsmen were not as handy as Chen Mu, and the weapons output of the Dengzhou Guards Weapons Bureau was not even enough to supply the Shandong New Army.

He only mobilized troops to form a new army, called the Leyden New Army Battalion, and half of the guns and armor needed were purchased from Beiyang.

However, he was very smart, unlike the Guangdong Governors who directly exchanged old guns or iron ore for purchase, and the iron ore was beaten into iron ingots and sent to Beiyang for a lower purchase price, and he sent military craftsmen to the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau to study.

Now they can make their own flintlock birds from old firebolts and iron ingots.

Chen Mu once sent someone to take two samples from there, and they all commanded the servants to watch the acceptance, and the quality was not bad.

If Wei Rushu can do these two things well, the commander of Shandong will definitely be his in the future.

Approaching the departure of the Oriental Fleet, the contact between the Inner Court and the Beiyang became more and more frequent, and at the beginning it was always the Imperial Horse Supervisor Chen Ju who was running back and forth, and specially sent people to set up a worship platform at the mouth of the sea, which was next to the wooden track of the freight carriage from the port customs to the Beiyang Military Palace.

In late September, Feng Baodu took the eunuchs to Beiyang.

Feng Baolai was also interesting, he began to come all the way by boat, but he didn't call anyone to report when he arrived in Beiyang, the ship stopped in Tianjin for two days, and sent someone to get a sword from the War Bureau, which made people inform the Beiyang Military Government.

According to him, the military camp is heavy and mighty, and he should also pay attention to etiquette.

"The imperial court is ready, five days later, three thousand brocade clothes will be stationed in Beiyang one after another, all the main roads along the way have set up cards, and the sailors of Shandong have also blocked the sea area, and merchant ships and civilian ships are not allowed to come and go."

Feng Bao was quite like that with his sword on his shoulder, he jumped before stepping into the Beiyang topic: "You can still hear the roar of artillery in the military mansion, and Chen Shuai's Beiyang Artillery Mansion is worthy of its name." ”

Beiyang Cannon House?

Seeing Chen Mu's puzzled face, Feng Bao smiled and said: "The court officials of the inner court and the outer court have never been to Beiyang in person, but they have all heard of the prestige of Beiyang. ”

Feng Bao's 'we' is not what we mean, this word in the Ming Dynasty is not only a self-proclaim, but also a military term in Shanxi, meaning the headquarters of soldiers and horses, so the lack of manhood of eunuchs used to call themselves.

What's even stronger is Chen Fo's kind of 'our masters', manliness multiplied by two.

Chen Mu saw that Feng Bao wanted to see the infantry drills, so he naturally leaned out to guide the way, and said: "This is the place where the infantry practice, the outer ring is used for weight-bearing marching, the outer circle is placed to practice equipment, and the inner is to practice sergeant skills, such as practicing boxing techniques and footwork, spear and spur spurs, target shooting practice accuracy and orders, as well as digging trenches and laying wooden walls and other infantry skills. ”

Feng Baozheng was walking towards the infantry school yard excitedly, and said in surprise when he heard this: "Do you still have to practice digging a ditch?" ”

"The governor doesn't know that there are two kinds of trenches, infantry trenches and anti-rush trenches, and the trenches are divided into three classes according to the depth: lying trenches, kneeling trenches and standing trenches, which correspond to different battle situations, and the most common situation is to dig foxholes, which is like this."

Chen Mu pointed to the flag army lying in the shallow pit in the infantry yard and making a confusing cover in front of it, and said to Feng Bao: "Killing generals, heralds, and scouts will always break away from the army and be at the front of the battlefield, and they need a bunker to hide their figures, and they can protect the flag army in normal combat." ”

He said it in general terms, but in fact most of the battles did not need trenches, only digging anti-scouring trenches.

As he spoke, the banner soldier with the killer gun fired at the wooden target two hundred steps away, Chen Mu took a look at the binoculars and did not hit the wooden target, but the tactical action of the flag army sniper was very good, and he took a step back and quickly dredged the gun under the protection of the cover, ready to reload again.

Feng Bao secretly stomped his feet, and lost his temper at himself without saying a word.

I warned myself before I came, there are many new things in the Beiyang Military Mansion, and there are many things I don't understand, don't ask, don't ask! Why can't you control your mouth?

Let's be timid!

Although he still wanted to ask what the structure of the long gun with the divine goggles was, he held back, and clapped his hands lightly with his face on his face, looking left and right.

"That's great! That's great! Having such a good general as Chen Shuai is really a blessing for the country. ”

Seeing that the killer gun sounded for the second time, Feng Daban raised his eyes and glanced lightly, and took the binoculars from the hands of the eunuchs who followed him and looked at them, and said strangely: "I really hit!" ”

Not to mention Feng Bao's surprise, even Chen Mu couldn't believe it - two hundred steps, three hundred meters away, even if the killer drilled out four threaded rifling, but its bullet was still a round lead pellet, and the role of rifling was not so obvious.

Round bullets, with or without rifling it all turns.

Before the snipers are generally proficient in long-range shooting, and practice has summed up a set of effective sniper theories, Chen Mu does not plan to let the Ordnance Bureau produce a long pointed bullet with a wooden plug in the tail, and the rifling can only add some stability to the lead pellet.

"That's a very talented gunner, the gun's scope solves the problem of the shooter's eyesight, but the gun's accuracy is limited after all, and the aiming caliper on the gun is only third-class, and the farthest is only one hundred and fifty steps."

In the era when telescopes were not yet used in the world outside the Ming Dynasty, as long as people one hundred and fifty steps away had a disguise, they really couldn't see you if they didn't want you to see them.

What's more, shooting at a distance of more than 100 paces actually has little to do with the quality of the gun itself, and it would be good for the human eye to aim at 80 steps.

A hundred paces away, a shot hit has nothing to do with luck, even with the best guns.

Chen Mu tried it himself, he once used a flintlock gun to shoot at a wooden target one hundred and fifty steps away, and he had a record of missing ten times in a row.

The body is shaking, the hands are shaking, and even if you only need to use more power to write the calligraphy horizontally and vertically, you will still be empty when you put the gun on the aiming caliper.

"In actual combat, the killer shooter is in a group of three, with one shooter and two loaders with three shots, and shoots the enemy general with the fastest and most accurate method, and then whether it is killed or injured, the shooter must retreat, and a shooter like him will shine in America."

Feng Bao turned his head: "When will you set sail, when will you read it?" ”

The corners of Chen Mu's mouth were hooked, and he remembered that the little emperor was looking forward to the voyage of the Oriental Fleet without having to study, and said: "In late October, the imperial court had a big parade for three days, and after three days, Chen directly led the fleet to sea!" ”
