Go to Australia.

Chen Mu made a lot of preparations, and for this purpose, he entered Macau.

But he did not agree to Zhou Xing directly.

There is another thing he has to do before he arrives at Macau.

After Xiangshan County sent an order to ask Chen Mu to go with Zhou Xing, the entire Xiangshan Thousand Household Institute entered full preparations.

In July, the flag army has been in training for more than two months. At the beginning, the three hundred households in Goulai, Xiangshan County were in training for nearly three months. Whether it was the battle formation, orders, the control of the queue, or the quick-formed gun bayonets and professor Long Junxiong and Professor Tianshi Monk, they all had their own prototypes.

Only one battle is missing.

"The gunpowder made by Qianhu, the new gunpowder maker is different from lead pills..."

The matter in the gunpowder depot was managed by Guan Zunban. Now that the Qianhu Banners are about to set off, there are mistakes in the gunpowder, which makes Guan Zunban feel that he has let down Chen Mu's trust. He blushed and bowed his head like a big quail.

Chen Mu was calculating what items were missing from his subordinate flag army. The battle against the local thieves in Huangliangdu was the first battle in the Qianhu Station of Xiangshan. Not only could they not lose, they also tried to avoid accidents in the subordinate flag army and win a big victory!

In the past three months, in addition to teaching the flag army's battle order and regular queue drills, he also taught the flag army the method of marching backpacking four hundred years later, and made some changes according to local conditions. For this reason, he specially selected women from the remaining officials of the Thousand Household Institute to do a good job in women, and made simple carrying tools for each flag army.

It can share the weight on the shoulders, chest and waist to connect dry food bags, water bags, thin quilts, leather felt pads, small backpacks, as well as medicine pots and lead pellets that are only carried by gunners.

This seemingly insignificant improvement can actually bring great improvements to the flag army's combat power, not to mention Chen Mu's helpless move.

As an independent combat unit, Xiangshan Qianhu Institute did not have a special baggage force to carry huge amounts of baggage for them. He only started a war against the local thieves in Huangliangdu. Even if this request was reported, it would not be approved.

It’s not that Chen Mu could not allow the Six Hundred Banners Army to serve as a baggage force to provide the food for the Three Hundred Banners Army, but that obviously could not achieve Chen Mu’s goal of minimizing his own casualties and training troops.

Some of the baggage was directly carried by the flag army to attack Huangliangdu. Only 50 people were required to organize from the Yudeng to carry a small amount of food, grass and military tents and other equipment, and thirty large trucks could complete it.

Of course, this is also because the distance is close. Even if the attack on the mountain is frustrated, the battle situation will not be delayed for too long, otherwise the baggage troops will need more.

There is no need for Chen Mu to give instructions to the leggings. In this era, the leggings are called Xingzang, and the flag army has prepared them themselves, but the color regulations are not neat.

After all the calculations, Chen Mu felt that his flag army was still short of some things, such as each small flag was equipped with a military shovel for geotechnical work, but he could not afford to be armed for a while, so he had to give up.

Only when the new iron workshop is built and the hydraulic hammer is installed can we think about making these equipment independently.

"Is there something wrong with gunpowder?"

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment before frowning and asked, "What's going on?"

Guan Zunban lowered his head and said, "Today, the gunpowder maker said that he would make gunpowder well and let his subordinates test it. As a result, the gunpowder he made was like this, like beans. He added a piece of cloth to the dissolved lead balls, and said that the lead balls could not be inserted into the gun and could not slide out. The villain did not dare to delay, so he quickly reported it."

Like beans?

"Give me... forget it, go! Go to the powder room."

Chen Mu felt that what was waiting for him should be a surprise. Not to mention that gunpowder is like beans, even gunpowder is like stones, can it still be burned? What's more, a little cloth padding on the lead ball can indeed block the gap between the gun barrel and the lead ball, increasing air tightness.

Guan Zunban did not dare to say much, so he hurriedly followed Chen Mu out of the Qianhu Yamen to walk towards the gunpowder room. Most of the flag soldiers on the road were wearing new carousels and hanging items.

The freshness has not passed yet. Most flag soldiers do not have armor, so wearing carousels is like that. If you wear armor and then hang it on this one, it will look a little bloated.

This is also impossible. Xiangshan Qianhushu has made all the work, and this set of carrying tools is not fully prepared, not to mention that Chen Mu has the elements of experiment in his mind.

If this set of utensils could adapt to the war of this era, Chen Mu planned to send them to Jizhen, to Tan Lun, to Qi Jiguang, and to Yu Dayou, who returned to Guangdong soon.

Before he could enter the gunpowder room, he heard a young man inside shouting, "Let me go, I want to see Qianhu. If he doesn't try these things, he will let you take me. Let me go, I want to see Qianhu!"

Chen Mu turned around and looked at Guan Zunban without saying anything. When he stepped into the yard, he saw several craftsmen sitting in the corner with a young man tied up. When he saw himself coming in, the craftsmen saluted one after another. The young man also struggled to get up, but he didn't dare to speak when he saw Chen Mu.

Although he was yelling, he had never seen Chen Mu before, and he didn't know where this young man who could keep the craftsman Guan Zun's squad followed.

"Let him go."

Chen Mu said to the craftsmen on both sides, then turned to Guan Zunban and said, "Take the gunpowder and the guns, I'll see."

After saying that, he pulled out the short gun from his waist and took out the entire strip to clean the chamber, and pulled out the wood medicinal tiles inside from the wooden handle.

After he finished all this, Guan Zunban had already walked out of the room and took a few bullets and gunpowder in the medicine pot and handed them to Chen Mu. Chen Mu only glanced at the young gunpowder maker and asked, "How did you melt this lead pill? Take your tools for me to see."

Several lead balls are the same size, and each lead ball is decorated with a small cloth towel two fingers wide in the middle.

This idea is unusual.

In the past, Chen Mu's subordinates had made round cuts and cut them directly from long lead blocks since he was still the small flag of Qingyuan Wei. However, it was obvious that these lead balls were all dissolved.

"yes!"

Xu Erjin had some guesses about the identity of the person in front of him. When he heard Chen Mu say this, he should run to the side room.

Chen Mu smiled when he ran away. The craftsman also knew that the fire could not be played with in the gunpowder room!

The wood medicinal tiles were scaled and an appropriate amount of gunpowder was poured out of the medicine pot. As Guan Zunban said, the medicine was pelleted as if it were poured into the medicine room. After being poured into the medicine room, the cloth was wrapped in lead pills and stuffed into the muzzle. The strips were compacted. Even if the muzzle was gently swung downward, the projectile could not be loosened and slipped.

What this gunpowder craftsman said is true, which makes Chen Mu even more interested in trying the performance of granular gunpowder.

Walking out of the gunpowder room a little further away, Chen Qianhu was too lazy to find the wooden target. The gun machine was on the string and aimed at the wooden fence twenty steps away from the outside to pull the trigger.

The sound of the gun was not the dull bang sound of the past, but the crisp sound of the almost popping sound was loud. The charge of a slightly less than the long gun burst out with huge force. It was caught off guard and Chen Mu's wrist was pushed. The lead bullet landing point was obviously slightly higher than the aiming one.

Even though the muzzle was raised a little, the wooden fence was still high enough. The lead hit the fence and stirred up debris. He rubbed his wrist and walked over, and he stretched in half his finger and had not yet touched the lead.

The pistol almost penetrated the fence as thick as an arm through twenty steps.

The power is at least 10% higher!
