What new ideas can Chen Mu have? Even if he has a new idea, he will not deliberately bypass Bai Yuanjie.

He just felt that these people were wasting time in Qingyuanwei because of the restraint of the troops. So he asked Shao Tingda to go back and send some verbal messages, use the money to open the way and recruit three craftsmen, buy some Fujian iron and wood, and make a few bird guns.

In addition, it was just to take advantage of the busy farming season to let Old Man Zheng teach Yu Ding to go into the cave and boil the salt.

They killed so many people in the war, and made a living with blood from the knife, which had great risks and great rewards. Even if the reward was deducted, it would definitely be a great harvest after the war. Although the silver money was not as good as the reward for military merits, it was always a income in Qingyuan.

Chen Mu carefully outlined the general meaning and sectional drawing of the rifle on paper with a charcoal pen, so that Shao Tingda would bring it to Qingyuan craftsman Guan Yuangu, asking him to try whether it could be pulled out. Anyway, forging a new bird gun also requires drilling the borehole, so try it first.

Mr. Chen has no hope for this matter, he just wants to have a jujube but a jujube.

Compared to rifling, what is more important for Chen Mu is the standardization of gun barrel production at the moment.

Standardization is simple, but it is too difficult to implement. The Ming army suffered a lot of losses in this matter. As Shan Chenmu saw with his own eyes, Lou Qimai used a musket to explode the chamber, and his face exploded Hu Hua with all his face. Although he saved his life, his face looked like an evil ghost and he lost his sense of smell forever.

During the Battle of Xinjiang, Bai Yuanjie's firing cannons left in the central army exploded, killing three artillery soldiers on the spot and injuring four others.

This is a big thing, not to mention small things.

The total thirteen bird guns under the general company have different sizes. Some lead balls cannot be inserted into the bottom. Some lead balls are too small and do not need to be poked. When the gun is released, it can shoot at a range of 200 steps and it will be powerless if it shoots thirty steps. Fifty steps lead balls fall to the ground, but it cannot catch a hard bow.

The thickness varies, and two guns are fired in a row. The gunner must touch the barrel with concern to see where there is overheating. As long as it is hot, it will be killed and dare not fire the gun again.

The rifling requires multiple attempts. After successful attempts, it takes a long time to think about it. It can be made into simple rifles to popularize every bird gun under your command, but standardization does not need to be so complicated.

Just manage, like Qi Jiguang's training, strictly stipulate every step of production, accurately determine each general number, and formulate a set of effective and strict management reward and punishment system, which can be improved.

In Chen Zongqi's eyes, craftsmen are productivity, and craftsmen who are proficient and cooperate with themselves are irreplaceable treasures!

Of course, Chen Mu did not forget Wang Rulong's advice, which was to collect fine bamboo suitable for use as a cartridge and make a cartridge.

It's funny to say that what Chen Mu's ideas most interested in Bai Yuanjie was rifling, or not the specific technology of rifling, but was extraordinary surprise and curiosity about Chen Mu's conclusive gunpowder theory.

"Chen Erlang, do you mean that after gunpowder is ignited, the lead ball will be vented. This air pushes the lead ball into the gun tube and hits it forward, so the straighter and longer the gun tube, the more stable the ballistic will be when it is fired?"

"When the lead ball is shot out, it is not straight or curved?"

Not only bent, but also oblique. In this era, the gun barrels all over the world were handmade, and the workmanship was extremely rough compared to the guns four hundred years later. A skilled gunner could become a fifty-step precision shooter after using his own bird gun to shoot hundreds of guns.

But what's the use of this? Just change a gun and everything will be zeroed. Maybe the original gun barrel is slightly bent to the left and the new gun barrel is slightly bent to the right. The previous skilled feeling will no longer exist, and it is possible that the guns and guns will be empty for more than thirty steps.

Ming people did not lack the desire for knowledge. At least Chen Mu saw the shining points of Bai Yuanjie's desire for knowledge, and kept asking him about his understanding of gunpowder in his spare time.

Bai Yuanjie listened very seriously, but... she did not have much admiration for Chen Mu, who had put forward new ideas. On the contrary, Chen Mu admired Bai Yuanjie's profound knowledge and ability to learn from others without a theoretical system.

Scattered technological improvements are actually not the strengths of the soul four hundred years later. Chen Mu deeply understood in Bai Yuanjie's conversation that his complete theoretical system is different from this world, and the most precious treasure.

This is better than a flintlock rifle, a breech cannon, and even a steam engine that roared in his mind for a long time but didn't know where to start.

Bai Yuanjie understood much more than he had imagined. He only needed to understand Chen Mu's explanation that gunpowder was ignited in the air and could not explode. It was because of the gathering of power in the confined space, so he proposed the idea that coincided with Chen Mu.

But Chen Mu was thinking about a circle of small lead balls wrapped in the rocket explosion drug, while Bai Yuanjie was talking about a circle of small pebbles wrapped in the rocket explosion drug.

Of course, the Ming people or Bai Yuanjie's ideas were also childish.

For example, Bai Qianhu comforted Chen Mu with great pride: "Don't worry, when I go back to Qingyuan, I will ask the craftsmen at home to make you a big gun with a two-meter gun barrel. Then install that telescope and encounter wars in the future. What about Li Yayuan, Wang Yayuan, Zhao Yayuan, kill him with one gun from ten miles apart! Give you the first merit!"

When Mr. Chen heard this, he saw Bai Qianhu dancing excitedly, and every piece of meat on his face was twitching.

Not to mention that the energy gathering of gun barrels exceeds a certain distance will not only not increase the range, but will reduce the power of the projectile and reduce the range. Even if it can really hit that far, who dares to think of a three-meter-long pass?

The longest spear Chen Mu had seen in the past six months is only 100 feet long, which is three feet taller than the two people stacked together?

Bai Qianhu is praised for his heart and his words are foolish!

The war did not stop because of the leisure of Xinjiang Town.

A few days later in July, Weng Yuan heard the news that Yu Dayou led his army to victory and pacify the thieves. Yu Dayou's army was still on the way. When they received the news, they also sent the order to Xinjiang Town. Deng Zilong belonged to the command of Guangdong general Wang Rulong, and guarded the baggage line in the back formation.

Bai Yuanjie obtained the command power of the Qingyuan Guards and led his colleague Shaozhou Qianhu Station and Nanxiong Qianhu Station to the north to Shishan, where he had the responsibility of preventing the defeat of the enemy, blocking the important roads, and defending the enemy.

A general's success is not a function word, but a real adjective.

During the fast horse transmission of troops and generals from all over the country, Chen Mu finally understood what kind of disaster it would mean to the corrupt and devastating Wei army.

The commander of the Qingyuan Guard did not participate in the war, but nine of the chief and deputy chief and deputy households died in this battle that affected more than ten counties of the three prefectures of Guangdong Dusi, including four chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and households, and one of them escaped before the battle and was killed by Yu Dayou with the law of the army.

Not to mention the flag army, Chen Mu's general flag was reduced by 70% compared to when sending troops, which was better among the guards participating in the war, at least no flag officer was killed.

In Qingyuanwei alone, six hundred households no longer existed in one battle, and no official was left behind!
