Xia Nan nodded: "You two are right, if you are within fifty steps, the bow and arrow have an advantage in the early stage, and if you are at a distance of seventy steps, the advantage of firearms is even greater." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Archery requires physical strength, and ordinary people may not have the strength to shoot more than a dozen arrows in a row, but it does not take much physical strength to reload and shoot firearms. Moreover, it is much easier to train a musketeer than an archer, and the loss of an archer cannot be replaced in a short time, while the loss of a musketeer is easy to replenish. The replacement of bows and arrows with firearms is an unstoppable trend. ”

"As for your ......," Xia Nan muttered for a moment, "you must be proficient in musket shooting skills, but bows and arrows have the advantage of bows and arrows, don't waste them, your archery skills are more effective than muskets at critical moments!" The two of them went down together.

Lin Weiye raised the gun in his hand and said to Xia Nan: "Boss, give the gun a name, maybe this gun will become a famous gun of the century like AK." ”

Xia Nan smiled dumbly, "You said that it was an imitation of the British brown bes, what is the name of the copycat?" ”

"The British brown beth has not been born at the moment, this gun was born on the soil of China, it is the copyright of China, and the British craftsmen at this time may not have this craft to create such exquisite firearms." The technical otaku turned out to be a thick black family, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating when he plagiarized copyright.

Well, this gun is the standard gun of your own team in the future, and it is also a proper name to be named. Xia Nan thought for a while: "Let's call it Qionghai Type 1630 rifle!" ”

Qiong refers to Qiongzhou Island, the sea refers to its own birthplace is located on the sea, 1630 is the current A.D. era, called rifle is to distinguish it from weapons such as bird guns at this time, the latter is also commonly known as muskets, compared with muskets, this kind of gun has begun to take the prototype of later generations of rifles, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a rifle.

Lin Weiye repeated: "The Qionghai 1630 rifle is not bad, it is simple, easy to remember and easy to catch. This is the official name, and the abbreviation is called the Qionghai rifle. ”

So the knock-off version of Brown Beth has an official name. Naturally, the two would not have expected that in the future, this gun would accompany them later, from the South China Sea to northern Liaobei, and made great contributions.

Xia Nan was very satisfied with this gun - except that no bayonet was installed. In this regard, Lin Weiye made a commitment to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

At present, he has a development direction in mind, which is to use the existing wrought iron-low carbon steel for carburizing, so that the surface becomes a high carbon steel with high hardness and wear resistance, and the central part still maintains the toughness and plasticity of low carbon steel. The bayonet made by such a process is the outside, which is conducive to assassination, and the central part is very tough and not easy to break.

The technology is in charge of Lin Weiye, Xia Nan only made a request, and after listening to Lin Weiye's assurance, he will no longer be verbose. His current mission is to train the convoy to use the Qionghai rifle in the face of possible dangers. As long as these three hundred musketeers are trained, the entire Qiongzhou Island can go sideways.

The guards who had been trained to assassinate to the point of vomiting had finally won the spring - with the addition of a shooting event. Just as beautiful clothes and jewelry are a common hobby of women in ancient and modern times, men in ancient and modern times have a natural love for firearms, and the guards who have never touched a firearm soon fell in love with this beautifully designed and exquisitely crafted rifle, which is a pleasure to hold in your hand.

Since only twenty guns were produced in the first batch, and only the twenty people with the oldest qualifications and the bravest training and combat were equipped, they became the envy of others, and the other team members who did not get guns were thinking day and night about when they would get their guns.

Lin Weiye was helpless in this regard, although the efficiency was greatly improved, and the time for manufacturing a gun was reduced from more than one month to six or seven days in the Ming army, and the time for steelmaking and assembly was only about ten days, but there were not enough manpower, and the total production could not go up, so he could only produce about 20 units every half a month.

In the summer, Nan didn't mind, and it would be fully staffed in four or five months at the earliest. Rather than hastily allocating powerful rifles to people like Tan Gouzi, Xia Nanning is willing to hand over the guns to more reliable people after careful observation.

The people assigned to the rifle increased their shooting training every day, and in addition to the decomposition action training, there were three to five live ammunition training sessions a day, which was considered a luxury in ancient times, and it was rare for the Ming army's bird gunners to have several live ammunition training a year. Xia Nan firmly believes that good shooters are fed with bullets, and only after long-term live-fire training will they not panic when they go to the battlefield. Now there are not many players equipped with rifles, and this kind of consumption can still be afforded. On the training ground of Ma Yuan Village, in addition to the earth-shattering "killing" sound during the assassination training, there was also the sound of banging gunshots.

It's been a month since the battle with the Foot Breaker, and Huang Mengjia and his native soldiers seem to have disappeared, and the feared revenge has not appeared. But Xia Nan didn't dare to be careless, the temporary patrols of the major factories were not abolished, and the dispatch of workers to patrol would affect the progress and output of production, but in Xia Nan's view, it was better than being attacked and unprepared factories were destroyed.

Just when the escort team gradually forgot to cut the foot of the mountain, the news came from the government, the foot of the mountain shot, gathered a few troops of the village to attack Chengmai County, Chengmai County hurriedly organized the township to defend the city, outnumbered, the county seat is in danger. The Chengmai County Commander has sent a request for help to the Fucheng, requesting the mobilization of the officers and soldiers of the guard to suppress it, but it is far from quenching the thirst, and it is difficult to say whether the county can hold it after the Fucheng mobilizes the officers and soldiers.

The news came from Master Qian. When he heard the news, Xia Nan secretly shouted good, Chopping Foot Mountain was attacking the county seat and losing strength, but it was a good opportunity for him.

In the battle with Chopping Foot Mountain, the two sides have already formed a feud, and there will always be an end in the future, and Lin Weiye said that the salt cave of Chopping Foot Pass produces saltpeter, which is a strategic resource that he urgently needs - when all three hundred people are equipped with guns, the consumption of ammunition - in other words, the consumption of saltpeter and sulfur - will increase sharply, and if you don't occupy that saltpeter mine, you can suffocate yourself to death with live ammunition for training alone. Now the greater the loss of the Foot Chopping Mountain, the lower the difficulty of attacking the Foot Cutting Mountain.

After thinking about it, Xia Nan felt that it was not enough to just sit and wait, so he had to think of a way to take advantage of the fire to rob and go to Chengmai County to attack Huang Mengjia, so that the other party would die faster. Is there any way to go to Linxian to attack Huang Mengjia openly without touching the government? At present, Xia Nan does not want to clash head-on with the government, and it is the king to make a fortune and climb the technology tree, and the ancients all know the truth of accumulating grain and slowly becoming king.
