Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

"There are tens of thousands of pro-armies, so I should lead them myself. I have two pro-armies to command, so let Guo Sheng and Lu Fang do it."

"There are four cavalrymen for 10,000 households, but there are not enough war horses. First, one infantryman is assigned to command them to build a framework for 40,000 households. They were held by Lin Chong, Shi Wengong, Hu Yanzhuo and Qin Ming respectively."

"The three water camps first set up the Wanhu shelf, and Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi were appointed as the water camp Wanhu"

"The infantry was organized into fourteen infantrymen Wanhu, Hua Rong, Zhu Dian, Lu Da, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, Shi Jin, Lei Heng, Sun Xin, Sun Li, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Su Ding, Luan Tingyu, Huang Xin, etc. person in charge"

"Liu Tang, Bai Sheng, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Yu Baosi, Deng Fei, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Du Xing, Zhou Tong, Li Zhong, Zheng Tianshou, Le He, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Fan Rui, Xiang Chong , Ou Peng, Li Gun, Duan Jingzhu, Shi En and others were all commanded."

Following Wang Lun's arrangements, Li Ying and others agreed while pondering.

The general pattern has not changed.

Like Du Qian, Song Wan, Zhu Gui, Zhu Fu, Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, Tang Long, Jiao Ting, Meng Kang , Li Ying, Cao Zheng, An Daoquan, Huangfu Duan, Zhu Wu, Xiao Rang, Jiang Jing, Jin Dajian and others are still in the civil service system like Li Gang, Zong Ze, Qin Hui and others.

They were not directly involved before Lead the troops. After this large-scale expansion of the army, Wang Lun has no idea or plan to ask them to lead the troops.

Liangshan has fought many battles, and there are also many ordinary heroes at the command level.

It is enough..

Some of these specialized talents are not very skilled in martial arts.

The battlefield is fierce and dangerous, and it would be a pity to die in battle.

For example, Zhu Fu is now doing well in the Military Intelligence Department, and he is asked to be the commander or commander of the capital. Qian Hu leads troops into battle?

Let’s forget it!

Caiyuanzi Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang also have their own specialties, so they definitely can’t lead troops into battle.

"The boss arranged it well"

"That's it."

The people present showed relaxed smiles.

Meng Kang said with a smile:"In four months from February to June, three million people will be mobilized to build the state road from Yizhou to Yuncheng, and then build the county road. The county road, the ore road to the mine, the excavation of a large number of shallow mines, the construction of smelting blast furnaces, warehouses, spare large freight carriages and related cargo ships are all completed. At least three million dollars. But after it is completed, the coal and iron produced every year will never be used up, and our construction department will try our best to make all kinds of refined iron goods, weapons and armor. In the second half of the year, after we have enough refined iron, we will try to cast the large artillery that the master needs.……"

This news is exciting enough.

Due to the blessing of"Tiangong", the research and development and trial production of granular gunpowder are not too difficult. This thing is not technically sophisticated, but the manufacturing process has improved.

In the late Middle Ages, in addition to the favorable factor of falling gunpowder costs, there was also a gunpowder technology that also played a role in promoting the development and promotion of firearms, and that was gunpowder granulation technology. This technology that could improve the power of gunpowder was developed around 1400. Also appeared in Europe, this was a revolution in gunpowder technology and an important turning point in the history of firearms.

Wang Lun just pushed this technology forward three hundred years.

Prior to this, people used powdered gunpowder as gunpowder (propellant) when using firearms. There were many disadvantages in using this form of gunpowder in combat, such as inconvenient transportation, uneven combustion, and easy moisture.

Granulated gunpowder technology solves these problems.

First of all, although granulated gunpowder will stratify after bumpy transportation, the largest particles will run to the bottom of the gunpowder barrel, and the smallest particles will run to the surface of the gunpowder barrel, but this will not affect the quality and use of the gunpowder.

Secondly, the moisture absorption of granulated gunpowder is also much less than that of powdered gunpowder, because the ratio of surface area to volume of granular gunpowder is smaller and it absorbs less moisture from the air. During the Age of Discovery, the best granular gunpowder would also use a graphite polisher to polish away the pores on the gunpowder grains to reduce the hygroscopicity of the gunpowder and extend its storage period.

Finally, because granular gunpowder is in the form of granules, even when pressed, they do not fit tightly together and do not form a"whole" like powdered black powder. The gaps left between the particles of gunpowder allow oxygen to assist the combustion of the gunpowder, facilitate flame diffusion, make the burning rate more uniform, and improve the efficiency of gunpowder combustion. Unlike powdered gunpowder, a considerable part of the gunpowder has not been burned when shooting. The ignited gunpowder is ejected out of the barrel, thereby greatly increasing its power.

It is quite easy to obtain granular black powder by adding activated carbon and asphalt, plus pressing and shaking.

Historically this process took hundreds of years, but in fact it is quite easy to make as long as you have this awareness and a little understanding.

With granular gunpowder, large artillery was put on the agenda in Liangshan.

This thing burns quickly and has great explosive power. One pound of granular gunpowder is as powerful as three pounds of powdery powder.

This will give full play to the power of the artillery.

It's like a crouching tiger cannon. Now it can only hit thirty or forty steps, and the furthest is fifty steps.

In fact, it has no power at fifty steps, and even if the opponent does not have armor, there is no way to seriously injure the opponent.

But it's different after using granular black powder. It can reach as far as 150 steps, and the lethality can be as high as 100 steps.

Kill or wound the unarmored enemy at fifty to a hundred steps.

Heavy armor can be broken within fifty steps.

This power has completely exceeded that of a crossbow.

Now the Construction Department has reduced production of crossbows.

Including the Divine Arm Bow.

It overlaps with the role of the Crouching Tiger Cannon, and its power is far less than that of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

Only heavy crossbows with a range of 200 to 400 steps will continue to be produced.

Riding crossbows are also produced. The riding crossbows of the Song Dynasty were well made, extremely clever, and were good things.

The Beiwei army's tactic is to hold a crossbow, fire it at close range, and then charge.

After rushing through, reload the crossbow, return and use the crossbow to suppress the enemy.

Then charge again.

If the riding skills, command, and array are passed, this is how elite cavalry is played.

The Liangshan cavalry is no less elite than the Beiwei soldiers, or they are all elite cavalry at the level of Beiwei soldiers. It would be a pity not to use this tactic.

Now Wang Lun and the Construction Department cannot make sophisticated flintlock guns no matter what.

It's really hard.

France only had qualified flintlock guns in 1630, after years of hard work.

Later, other countries, including the Ming Dynasty, also began to imitate or purchase them.

The flintlock gun is an automatic ignition. The faucet holds a flint. After pulling the trigger, the flint hits the iron piece above the medicine tank, causing sparks to ignite the gunpowder in the medicine tank. Then the gunpowder in the medicine tank ignites the gun. The propellant in the tube finally completes the launch.

But it has obvious shortcomings.

The matchlock gun is afraid of rain, but as long as it doesn't rain, the firing rate of the matchlock gun is basically 0%......

Flintlock guns won't do.

If you're lucky, you'll get three shots and two shots.

Unlucky enough to shoot three shots and one shot.

The success rate of about 30% has been maintained for a long time. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Afraid of strong winds, the faucet trigger will fail to ignite if it is slightly loose.

Flint is also the reason. High-quality flint is not available in many places. Without good flint, fire-making failure is inevitable.

China lacks high-quality flint.

So a flintlock gun is not a good choice.

At least Wang Lun doesn't plan to do it now.

The barrel is also a difficult problem. It requires high-quality refined iron, which is rolled into a solid iron pipe layer by layer, and then slowly drilled out of the barrel.

Even if there is a hydraulic drill pipe, it will take ten days and a half, and the manual time will be even longer, at least a month.

It took a lot of time to produce a large number of flintlock guns with a range of only about a hundred steps.

It's really not necessary.

On the contrary, in the future, he will conquer the world. From the fire door gun to the matchlock gun, and then to the flintlock gun, he will gradually make the road of firearms more solid step by step.

There is no rush now.

But now you can really cast cannons.

Compared with matchlocks and flintlocks, artillery is really much simpler.

Either the clay mold method or the lost wax method will work.

It is actually best to have a large amount of bronze, and bronze is better as an artillery material.[]

More stable, less likely to explode, and easier to withstand high temperatures than iron cannons.

But the problem was that the Song Dynasty was short of copper.

China is a copper-poor country, which does not mean that there is no copper, but that there is no high-quality copper, and the output is not large. Many ore veins have been mined in deep wells.

The mining industry in the Song Dynasty can be said to be inferior to that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Even if these two wastes are tied together, they are still a fraction of the Song Dynasty.

There was no mining ban in the Ming Dynasty, but there was never much interest in mining, because the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty did not cooperate, and mining was a loss-making business.

Later, the official mines were basically abandoned and all were converted into private mines.

In this way, the mining industry flourished for a while.

But there is no comparison with the Song Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were endless mining bans.

The Qing Dynasty can be said to be the master of the feudal art of controlling the people. It was calm, learned a lot of experience, insidious, decisive, and ruthless.

Anyway, if it weren't for external forces, this dynasty would have been able to rule for a long time.

Root 2.9 has no hope of overturning it.

From Kangxi to Qianlong, a large number of Zhu Pi who were mining were investigated.

Kangxi was cautious enough about mining, Yongzheng relaxed a little, and Qianlong fully contracted again.

Moreover, Qianlong followed Kangxi's example in everything, except for the mining ban and the Catholic Church ban. Qianlong worshiped his grandfather extremely, but Qianlong had his own considerations on these two matters.

Mining and religious bans were strictly prohibited by Qianlong.

It would be surprising if the level of this mining industry could improve.

But there’s also shitty luck.

Around the time of Qianlong, large copper reserves were discovered in Yunnan, and copper production increased sharply during the Qianlong period.

I really stepped on shit.

The Song Dynasty did not have such luck.

It doesn't work, Yunnan and Guizhou are not under the control of the Song Dynasty now.

The lack of copper in the country, coupled with the large amount of Song Dynasty coins lost overseas, led to the subsequent casting of large coins, as five, as ten, as fifty, as one hundred...

There was no way.

Liangshan no longer counted on bronze cannons, but used clay molds to cast Hongyi cannons.

Clay molds are now made on a large scale.

Refined iron and high-temperature furnaces are ready.

When the warship is built, a large number of heavy artillery weighing several kilograms will be placed on the bow...

The day will not be far when we will conquer the world and spread military force all over the world!.
