There was a loud sound of fire, and the smoke filled the air. There are a lot of problems, when he watched Lai Yuanlong shoot just now, it seemed that he needed a lot of strength to pull the plate machine to ignite the stone, which made his center of gravity a little unstable. Affected the aiming and firing of the fire system.

Lai Yuanlong said: "Don't hide it from my lord, many parts of this self-generated fire dysprosium are more complicated, and it is more difficult to make, and it is still said that it is difficult to make a large number of them, and the mute rate of fire is also high." ”

Of course, the annoying gun is simple for later generations, but for the end of the Ming Dynasty, the process is complicated, the price is relatively high, and there is no large number of relevant skilled craftsmen, so it is understandable that it is difficult to make a large number of them. Wang Dou was concerned about the blind fire rate of this baby's fire system, and he asked, "What is the dumb fire rate of this fire dysprosium?" ”

Lai Yuanlong said: "It is estimated to be about thirty percent." ”

There is a sigh on the left and right, at present, the arquebus of Shunxiang Fort, when the weather is good on weekdays, the combat is only a mute fire rate, and after the gunpowder pool has a fire door device that can protect against wind and rain, the mute fire rate is even reduced. This automatic self-generated fire system has a blind fire rate as high as 30%, what is the use of this?

Wang Dou groaned, in the early days, because of the use of mechanical ignition, the fire efficiency was indeed not high, and later after gradual improvement, the mute fire rate was reduced to about three percent. At present, the Ji gun is indeed unsatisfactory, and the reliability is far less than that of the arquebus, but the frog gun represents the direction of the firearms exhibition in later generations, that is, there are many problems, and they have to invest heavily in research and development.

When the frog guns are perfected and the troops are equipped on a large scale, they can use bayonets, and at present the long ropes of arquebuses are in the way, and of course it is impossible to use any bayonets.

Wang Dou instructed Lai Yuanlong to continue to improve the baby gun and develop a reliable and perfect strike mechanism and insurance mechanism, and then he looked at the overall management and control of the Rao Machinery Factory.

At present, there are less than 100 craftsmen in the Unified Arsenal Factory, and not long ago 50 skilled craftsmen were assigned to the newly built armor factory. Because the Rao Machinery Factory has built 100 hydraulic drilling machines, although the number of people is small, the degree of fire control has been greatly accelerated compared with the past.

Conservative estimates, now Shunxiang Fort Machinery Factory. More than 400 fires can be made in a month, as long as the raw materials can keep up. After all, to make a hundred fires, you need at least 4,000 catties of wrought iron a month, and four or five hundred fires need nearly 20,000 catties of wrought iron. Now there are more than 50 craftsmen in the Shunxiangbao armor factory, and Lai Yuanlong suggested to Wang Dou that if ten such hydraulic forging machines are opened, it is very easy to produce 60 pairs of armor in a month with these craftsmen in the armor factory, including perforation, fine grinding, leather wrapping, and casting helmets.

The reason why Lai Yuanlong only suggested opening ten hydraulic forging machines was because the supply of iron could not keep up, and it would be a waste to build them. After all, there are twenty pairs of well-made iron armor, and the fine iron used is similar to that of the bird sharp. At least more than 3,000 catties of wrought iron are needed a month, and 60 pairs of armor are nearly 10,000 catties of wrought iron. Shunxiang Fort wants to make waist knives and spears, and it also needs to play other iron materials.

Huiyaobao Koujiagou Mining Plant has to supply more than 30,000 catties of wrought iron every month, and it has already used its strength to eat milk. It is really powerless for them to increase the supply. Wang Dou's money and food were also a little unable to keep up.

Things were decided like this, and in the midst of the busyness, the time soon reached the eleventh of Chongzhen's tenth year

Bottom.

At the end of the month, the court and China on the establishment of a garrison in the city of Baoanzhou, and the appointment of Wang Dou as the garrison officer finally decided, the matter was disputed for a long time, and finally Emperor Chongzhen said: "The fertility of the security land, the garrison is not good?" Wang Dou has merit with the state, is virtuous and guarded, and is a local governor who is lacking. I also heard that the governor of Xuanzhen was protected, and Wang Dou could guard the place. ”

When Chongzhen Jiudong, Xuanfu Town East Road was cut 281 levels, especially Wang Dou was cut 80 levels. His bravery in battle left a deep impression on Emperor Chongzhen, and he pointed to Wang Dou's name and asked others: "Who is this Wang Dou, so brave?" ”

And it is also the proposal of Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda. He also personally promoted Wang Dou as a garrison for the security state. Emperor Chongzhen has always valued Lu Xiangsheng's favor, and when he saw the controversy in the military department, he came out to speak. Since the emperor Chrysostom was in order, Wang Dou's appointment as the garrison of Baoan Prefecture was decided.

Soon, the official document of the Ministry of War came down, and Wang Dou was promoted to the commander of the security guard, serving as the garrison officer of Baozhou City, and the official document first went to the Xuanda Governor's Mansion, then to the Xuanfu Town Governor Yamen, and then to the Lucheng Military Garrison Mansion. In the end, it was in the hands of Wang Dou.

The official document went all the way down, and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, was naturally pleased, and everyone in Xuanzhen knew that a new star in the political arena was born again, the twenty-five-year-old garrison officer, the twenty-five-year-old guard commander, the official body of the third grade, or the emperor Qinyi, I don't know how many people are jealous, and they feel that this kid's official luck is too good ().

Regardless of jealousy, there is an endless stream of people congratulating him, and the people under Wang Dou are naturally happy. The Lord has been promoted, and these people have also risen with the tide, and some people can be promoted.

In a state of joy, Wang Dou was also packing his luggage. Prepare to go to Beijing to take over the post and receive official uniforms and other things. Garrison is not as good as integrity, defense and other official positions, you need to go to the capital to report in person, and pass the assessment of the Ministry of Military Election and Clearance of Officials before you can officially confirm your position. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get the emperor's summons.

Wang Dou was going out for a while, he planned to take Xie Yike to Beijing, and he handed over the civil affairs of the state city to the commander Feng Dachang and others, and the military affairs to Han Chao and others, for their ability and loyalty. Wang Dou is still relieved.

After the matter was explained, he looked at the map in the council hall for a long time, so far. All affairs are still carried out according to their own plans, but soon Chongzhen has been eleven years, thinking of next year's war,,

He couldn't help but look at the place where the giant deer was. Later, he stopped at the location of Mashuikou, which is one hundred and sixty miles south of Baoan Prefecture, and has always been the main transportation route from Baoan Prefecture to the Dingfu of Baoan.

While he was contemplating it, a maid came over and reported to Wang Douyu, saying that his wife had been invited.

Seeing Xie Xiuniang, Xie Xiuniang said: "Husband, the young lady who just learned about the state capital came and said that she wanted to ask you for help on something important."
