When he had finished commanding this, he gathered all the blacksmiths together—

Dong Ce shook the Lu Mi Gong in his hand, his eyes swept over the faces of all the blacksmiths, and said, "This Lu Mi Gong is very good, very good!" It can be seen that you are doing things with your heart, and the official is very pleased! ”

He turned back to Bai Zhongqi and said: "Write it down, the firearms team has a meritorious service in building the Lumi gun, the leader of the firearms group, Du Jianhe, will be rewarded with five coins of silver, and the rest of the blacksmiths, whoever participates in the creation of the Lumi gun, will be rewarded with two coins of silver each!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" The craftsmen of the firearms group were overjoyed and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

In the eyes of the cold weapons group on the side, it is a little unpleasant, the threshold for building cold weapons and those weapons is much lower than that of building Lu Mi Gong, and everyone in the firearms group except Du Jianhe can only fight and make some odd and broken things, and they can all take the lead and create the tip of the spear and the Cossack cavalry knife by themselves.

Seeing that I was suffering all day long and not receiving a reward, I felt a little unbalanced.

There are more active minds, which have been typed, creating a gap in treatment, which is the driving force to stimulate others to climb upward, but if it is clearly biased towards certain people, it will cause people's dissatisfaction and the ensuing slackness.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a gap while maintaining a rough balance.

That's the way to check and balance.

He looked at the blacksmiths in the cold weapons group again, and said: {1}{Ben} read} the novel: "If you wait for these days to build spears, knives and guns, this official will see it in his eyes, and he will not forget the hardships and hard work!" ”

He smiled slightly, and raised his voice: "From today onwards, as long as a certain craftsman can make ten spears and ten Cossack cavalry knives, he will be promoted to a first-class craftsman. ”

Saying this, the blacksmiths of the cold weapon group also smiled and thanked them one after another.

The craftsmen of the firearms group were given practical benefits, while the remainder were given visible expectations.

Which is better or worse depends only on what they think.

The smile on Dong Cehu's face was closed, and he said with a straight face: "But the official also said ugly things in front, if anyone only cares about the number and makes shoddy things, once the official finds out, it won't be a matter of money!" This official is going to kill the head! ”

Seeing Dong Ce's expression, they also knew that this Lord Dong was definitely not joking, and they were all trembling in their hearts.

It was when no one dared to speak with their heads down, but Zhao Tieanan stood up and said: "Don't worry, my lord, our lives are given by adults, and we will never dare to do such a bad thing!" ”

His words were unpretentious, even a little clumsy. But the honest but solemn expression on his face unconsciously made people feel that his words were heavier than a promise.

Everyone also echoed the words.

Dong Ce nodded and ordered everyone to go back to work, but called Du Jianhe aside.

"This official will find some craftsmen to make firecrackers in order these days." After Dong Ce finished speaking, seeing a panicked expression on Du Jianhe's face, he smiled faintly: "You don't need to worry, this Lu Mi Gong you made is very much in line with the official's wishes, and he is also loyal, and the official will definitely not treat you badly." No matter how many blacksmiths come, you are the leader. ”

Du Jianhe relieved his heart, with a touch of gratitude on his face, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The adults are loved, the little ones are ashamed, and the little ones have no other ability, only to create more and better weapons for the adults is to be rewarded." ”

Dong Ce nodded slightly: "Your performance, this official is looking at it." ”

He also advised: "In these days, try your best to teach the skill of drilling the barrel to other blacksmiths, don't cherish the broom, and teach yourself!" When you can teach five blacksmiths to drill barrels, this official will promote you to a second-class craftsman, understand? ”

Du Jianhe hurriedly responded.

In the past, he must have been reluctant in his heart, after all, the craftsmen of this era regarded these as ancestral skills. But when Dong Ce said that he wanted to recruit some more craftsmen who could make firearms, he had a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and he also planned to take this opportunity to train a few of his own people, so that no matter how big the team was in the future, it would be able to stabilize the situation. If you accept other firearms blacksmiths as apprentices, it is undoubtedly a good choice, and with the status of master and apprentice at this level, the status is different.

After personally experiencing the power of the Lu Mi Gong, Dong Ce had already decided to start manufacturing this weapon on a large scale.

It's just that in this era when there is no assembly line, if you want to make large-scale manufacturing, you must have a large number of craftsmen under your hands. And now there is only one blacksmith under his hand who can drill the barrel, Du Jianhe, this element is limited here, even if you want to speed up, it is just empty talk.

Dong Ce had no choice but to send Zhou Bo to put aside his work for the time being and go to the lonely shop to entrust Zhao General Assembly to do this.

It will take at least ten days to wait for the news to come back.

In fact, Dong Ce also has other options, for example, Du Jianhe will also make another high-powered arquebus-turtledove foot gun.

This kind of fire gun with the largest diameter in the Ming Dynasty, also known as the hook gun, is five feet five inches long, which is about one meter six, and the inner diameter of the gun barrel has reached an appalling six points, that is, about nineteen or twenty millimeters. You know, according to the standards of later generations, if the caliber exceeds twenty mm, it can already be considered a cannon. The medicine is one or two or three dollars, which is three to four times that of Lumi guns, the lead weight is one or two five dollars to one or two six yuan taels, and the big turtledove bullets weigh a terrifying one or two or eight dollars, which is five or six times that of Lumi guns.

The body of the gun is very heavy, which is several times that of the Lumi gun, and it needs to be supported by a tripod, which resembles a bird's foot, hence the name.

Big guys naturally have a lot of power to match.

This kind of turtledove foot gun is much more powerful than the Spanish 'Mushket' arquebus, which was famous in the West and was known as the most powerful arquebus in this era, and could break through and break the wooden chariots commonly used in the post-Jinbu war at that time.

But in Dong Ce's view, the turtledove is really quite chicken. In terms of power, it is better to lift the gun, and at the same time it is very heavy and heavy, and it needs a bracket to fight like lifting the gun; In terms of lightness, it is not as good as the Lumi gun, and at the same time, the range is not longer than the Lumi gun.

As for the lethality, there is actually not much difference between being hit by the lead bullet of the three-dollar Lumi gun and being hit by the giant lead bullet weighing one or two or eight dollars of the turtledove's foot gun. With the exception of the super-thick plate cuirass, made of medium-grade steel, which was almost six millimeters thick, which appeared in Western Europe at the same time, no armor could withstand the power of the firecracker.

The power of the Lu Mi gun is enough.

At the same time, if heavy firepower is needed, a small cannon like a gun is obviously more suitable than a turtledove.

In between, the position of the turtledove is really a little awkward, which is why Dong Ce doesn't want to build this kind of firearm.

On the same day, Dong Ce returned to the long-lost deputy Qianhu official hall and slept well, and on the second day, he and Bai Zhongqi went back to Anxiangdun with the wooden swords they had built.

With these equipment, you will be able to start the next stage of training.

……

It stands to reason that as a small force that does not have much capital and manpower, and the support from above is only limited, Dong Ce's correct approach should be to form infantry first, after all, infantry does not need war horses, and the purchase of a war horse is usually enough to arm three or four infantry with medium equipment. But by chance, Dong Ce had a large number of war horses, and they were all very good Liaodong heroes and Mongolian horses, so he had the idea of forming cavalry.

After all, in this era, cavalry has an absolutely powerful strategic advantage over infantry.

So Dong Ce made up his mind to arm his family members into cavalry.

But what kind of cavalry is also particular, like the kind of elite and powerful rangers, scout cavalry, Dong Ce never thought about it at all. His subordinates have poor riding skills, their martial arts skills are too poor, and they haven't gone through the battle formation, so they can't meet that requirement at all. Fortunately, Dong Ce's requirements for them are not too high -- high mobility and a certain lethality are enough.

Therefore, Dong Ce let them practice things very simply, there are only four categories in total - horseback riding, archery, spear stabbing, and chopping.

That's all, without any bells and whistles.

What formation, what cluster charge, what tactical tactics, Dong Ce didn't teach anything.

Dong Ce has always believed that the more fancy things are, the less useful they are. Simple things are easier to manipulate and more effective. And because of the urgency of some of the things he had to do, he didn't have much time to train, so he had to do a good job of basic skills first, and then do some targeted training to enhance his combat effectiveness.

Riding skills are not good, it doesn't matter, they can practice and adapt in the future, and now Dong Ce's requirements for them are that as long as they sit on the horse and can't fall off.

As for the battle on horseback, they are still far behind. Therefore, Dong Ce formulated two sets of tactics for them, the first set is to dismount and fight on foot, and the second set is to kill the opponent's foot soldiers on horseback.

As for the tactics of cavalry against cavalry, Dong Ce didn't plan to practice it now at all - he would not provoke an opponent with a large number of cavalry, even an equal amount of cavalry, and if the opponent was a cavalry with a similar number of cavalry, even if it was a horse thief with poor combat effectiveness, Dong Ce would definitely choose to withdraw immediately instead of encountering it.

He has this little money under his hands, and it is very precious, and he can't afford to pay for it.

The second set of tactics has been practiced many times, and now Dong Ce has practiced the first set.

Dismount and fight, the correct way to say is that you should dismount and shoot. There are three steps: first, distance away; Second, dismount and shoot; Three, get on the horse and pull away; Fourth, dismount and shoot.

And so on and so forth. Before that, Dong Ce first had to do some tests on the archery skills of his subordinates.
