Chapter 324 Self-generated eagle gun
Liu Yu suddenly felt a little irritable. He didn't know what the war in Qiongdao was. The summer harvest in Dongning County was only less than 70%. All kinds of trivial matters made Liu Yu feel pain in his head.
"Forget it, forgot." Liu Yu slowly got up, changed into a dress, and left the mansion.
During this period, whenever he was irritated, Liu Yu would always go to the Huben Military Camp shooting range near Lavague to practice targets.
This is also one of the few outdoor activities that Liu Yu had in Luzon.
First, we can have fun, and second, we mainly come to examine the military equipment status and training level of Ming munitions.
As the elite team among the elite troops of the Ming army in Luzon, Liu Yu attached great importance to the Tiger Army.
Soon, under the escort of the Iron Man Army, Liu Yu rode his horse to the shooting range.
The Ming army made good use of firearms, but unlike the Han army in the past, they used a variety of firearms.
Liu Yu, who went to Southeast Asia, considered systematic development of the Ming army's firearm equipment.
To put it bluntly, the entire army is equipped with a light gun and a heavy gun.
There is no need to install all kinds of muskets like the late Ming Dynasty, and there are many types.
The lead bullets used in various muskets are different in types and materials, and the amount of gunpowder they contain is also different.
It is extremely cumbersome to use, and the logistics is also nightmare.
Therefore, Liu Yu carried out drastic reforms in response to the various Ming munitions in the Ming Dynasty during the Ming Dynasty.
In the infantry, only self-generated muskets are equipped with a type of musket.
Each squad has a hundred-subs gun under its jurisdiction, and each association has two small Folang machine cannons under its jurisdiction.
The Ming army in each association was also specially equipped with a heavy musket squad.
It is equipped with heavy convex guns such as turtle dove foot guns.
In this way, the production, use and logistics of Ming arms were greatly simplified.
On weekdays, the Firearms Department only needs to use self-generated musket firing medicine to load the fixed-rate gunpowder into the medicine tube, and give it to the Ming army one by one.
Logistical supplies have been optimized to a certain extent.
At this time, at the shooting range of Huben Town, the soldiers of the Huben Army were experimenting with a new type of flintlock musket.
This gun is much larger than an ordinary self-generated musket, and generally requires an iron bracket to support it with a turtle dove-legged gun.
This is the self-generated eagle gun developed by the Ming Arms and Firearms Department based on the Eagle Shock Gun.
Speaking of this eagle-slinging gun, it is also a large coercion gun made by Zhao Shizhen against the Japanese big bird gun.
During the War of Aid to Korea in Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Ming army wearing armor were often beaten torment by a large iron cannon equipped by the Japanese army.
The large iron cannons equipped by the Japanese army are actually heavy contrailers.
Just like the Ming army now popularized the turtledove-legged guns.
It has a long range, strong lethality, and has an excellent armor-piercing effect. It can penetrate armor at 10 or 20 steps.
Therefore, after referring to the Japanese large iron gun, Zhao Shizhen created a large mesh rope gun using the structure of the Bolang machine's son and mother cannon.
Due to the use of a parent-child structure, its firepower sustainability is much better than that of Japanese large iron cannons.
Therefore, it is named after the eagle and is called the Eagle Shocking Gun.
The Firearms Department is not satisfied with the turtledove-legged gun.
Therefore, after referring to the Yingyang gun developed by Zhao Shizhen, we began to transform it with this gun as a prototype.
First, the fuse was cancelled and flint was fired instead.
This change in the launch method was also used a long time ago on the improved deer gun of the turtledove-legged gun.
Firearms are also familiar with this.
The gun body is all made of high-quality cooked iron and is forged from water conservancy.
The gun barrel is long and thick, and is equipped with sightseeing sights and doors.
Each gun has three gates, and each sub-gun has a separate fire gate.
The sustainability of its firepower is two to three times that of the turtledove-legged gun.
However, because its gun is too heavy, it is not suitable for Ming soldiers to carry long-distance marching.
Therefore, light-mounted cannon vehicles are specially equipped for this kind of musket.
When using it, three guns are often used as one car.
You can shoot according to the car or unload it from the car for use alone.
Liu Yu was quite satisfied with this self-generated eagle gun.
Unlike light guns like bird guns, heavy guns are much more reliable when using mother-child structures due to their innate quality advantages.
This is also the reason why the Firearms Department used the Mother and Child structure of the subsequent heavy musket design.
Of course, the only problem now is production capacity.
Currently, the production capacity of the firearms department is limited.
The Ming army's cannons and other gun barrels were forged with hydraulic power.
The iron smelting plants near Lavag are not producing enough.
After all, a lot of iron ore still needs to be purchased by Sihai Business Company from East India Company and the Netherlands merchants.
Luzon has no shortage of high-quality wood.
However, its production capacity is obviously unable to meet the needs of the Ming army to expand its army on a large scale.
However, it was only a few years since the Ming court went south to Luzon, and it was already very good that the Ming court could develop to this point.
"Governor General, my Huben Army is training day and night, but now, only Qianzhen, led by General Wang Tong, goes to Qiongzhou to fight the Tartar Qing Dynasty." Chen Guangchang, the general of Huben Zuo Town, came over.
"Our Hu Ben Army is eager to go north to Qiongzhou to fight the Tartar Qing Dynasty in order to repay the kindness of the Governor."
Seeing these generals who asked for battle, Liu Yu smiled.
The reason why they were not transferred to Qiongzhou was that they were worried that Luzon's main island would be unstable.
How could Liu Yu let them go north?
"Don't panic, Hu Ben is the elite of the Ming army, and you will have the time to make achievements." Liu Yu comforted.
Looking at the Ming army officers and soldiers in the school grounds practiced, it took a day to realize it.
It was not until the sunset that Liu Yu rode his horse back to the city.
On the way, Liu Yu thought about it carefully and always felt very worried about Nanpu County.
He did not trust the player Talu.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to transfer the five hundred officers and soldiers of Huben Zuo Town to Weigan.
And transfer Huben's Right Town to Tulaogega.
In this way, Ming army troops were deployed in the northern part of Nanpu County, monitoring every move in the direction of Nanpu County at any time.
With Liu Quanzai in Dongning County, it should be safe.
Since Liu Quan left Mingcheng, he took the officers and soldiers of the three hundred Ming soldiers in Wuwei Town to Dongning County.
This Wuwei Town was originally a reserve military town formed by Liu Yu.
It was originally designed to provide reserve troops for the major main military towns of the Ming army.
With the potential of the population potential of the Han people on Luzon Island and Jiading being almost exhausted, Wuwei Town has basically no possibility of continuing to replenish its military resources for the major military towns.
Therefore, these 300 Ming soldiers followed Liu Quan to Dongning County.
Under the leadership of the Irok natives, they crossed mountains and ridges for more than a month before they arrived in Dongning County.
Dongning County has just been established at this moment, and the territory is not peaceful.
When the officers and soldiers of Wuwei Town arrived in Dongning County, Wen Cong, the magistrate of Dongning County, hurried to greet them.
This Wen Cong was not from the Ming Dynasty, but an Irok official from Lavague, Luzon. He worked for the Spanish in the Spanish colonial authorities, and now he has become the magistrate of Dongning County.
"The emperor has met the general." Wen Cong, the chief clerk of Dongning County, waited in front of the county government early.
At this time, the Dongning County Government had just been established, but it was just a few tiled houses.
Seeing this scene, Liu Quan immediately felt good about the Dongning magistrate.
"The last general led the officers and soldiers of Wuwei Town to Dongning to protect the peace in Dongning." Liu Quandao.
"With a general leading the royal army here, my Dongning County can be safe from worry." Wen Cong was overjoyed and hurriedly said.
He has been here with Dongning County officials for several months.
Although the Ming army had already arrived, there were not many Ming army officers and soldiers left here.
In addition, the local Tufan forces are in a state of intertwined manner.
