In the second half of AD 1347, all activities in the territory began to revolve around combat readiness. The number of immigrants was much smaller than in previous years. In the past, a large number of ships transported people to Taiwan and Rugao, followed by a large number of cargo ships loaded with industrial production tools and materials provided by Huangzhou territory. Now that the situation has come, the three territories are now transporting large quantities of raw materials, and the immigrant ships that originally hit people have become cargo ships. Not only that, major territories began to expand their troops, distribute muskets, and militia reserves began to train with full strength. In the main base of Huangzhou, the expansion of artillery and earth-shaking live-fire training have brought the atmosphere of war in the territory to the extreme.

Now the county towns in Huangzhou territory have basically been emptied of the population by the industrial production method founded by Cheng Pan. Several county magistrates were basically the sound tube between the upper part of the Yuan Dynasty and Cheng Pan. Of course, the abnormal reactions in Huangzhou territory cannot be hidden. These county magistrates came to visit Cheng Pan to think of condom and want to know what Cheng Pan was going to do? After several waiting times, they still met Cheng Pan. The county magistrate Chen, who had been dealing with Cheng Pan for the longest time, knew that Cheng Pan was a straightforward personality and asked straight to the point: "General Cheng, your honor is recently

The soldiers in the territory were training day and night, but the general wanted to raise an army?" Cheng Pan swept away these people. Except for the Chen County Magistrate, no one else was Han. Cheng Pan had never included these people in the scope of trust in the past few years and replied directly: "Do I need to tell you?" He turned around and left the bureaucrats who looked at each other below. Chen County Magistrate and others had imagined that Cheng Pan might not have expected Cheng Pan to ignore his completely. They considered that Cheng Pan would shirk responsibility, or directly admitted to putting his own house arrest. But they had never expected that Cheng Pan was this attitude towards ordinary people.

Shucheng County Magistrate Sa Rihe said, "This person is vulgar. Even if he raises troops to resist the court, he will be destroyed like a yellow turban thief." Dangtu County Magistrate looked at Sa Rihe and said, "It's gone into ashes? Although I joined you the latest, I can't see that Cheng Pan's army is like a peasant army. You learn from those scholars to call him a single husband. I don't think so in this year." Several county magistrates looked at Dangtu County Magistrate, and Hanshan County Magistrate said, "How can I explain this?" Dangtu County Magistrate said, "The county magistrates in the world all catch the local tribes to collect taxes and issue corvee through these local snakes. I

We all saw that Mr. Cheng had no idea what kind of grudges in the world had, and he would raise a butcher knife to the local gentry whenever he went to a place. Therefore, scholars in Jiangnan thought of him as cruel people. They did not know how to manage the local area and would not have a foundation. They would start and die like the Yellow Turban thieves. But what I saw this year was that the lack of local gentry, Dangtu County became his more stable foundation. His government orders could go directly to every villager in the countryside. In the eyes of scholars in Jiangnan, the simplified Chinese characters with different characters were written openly on his government orders, and these rough people in the countryside could also understand them.

These words are nothing, but the entire villager in Dangtu is doing it according to his actions, and the whole villager is dedicated to it. This is just Dangtu. Now in the southeast of the Jianghuai River, millions of scholars in the past did not care about it and the government did not pay attention to it. The mud legs in the countryside were raised by him, planting grain for him, making steel for him, and putting on his persistence. Under this monster with millions of people, who is the only husband? It is you and me, those useless scholars, and those rich families who died and died." After hearing the words of Dangtu County Magistrate, several county magistrates were stunned for a long time. Shucheng County Magistrate smiled bitterly: "It seems that we are alone in front of him, and it is difficult for us to be alone in front of him.

It’s a pity that he treats us like this. We are useless people." County Magistrate Chen smoothed out: "Forget it, we are just spectators now, but it’s useless to him. Remind the court that the first one is to be unlucky. Let’s go home, and sip tea and smile at this great change that has not been seen in a thousand years." The county magistrate of Wuwei County said: "Yes, I really want to continue watching. The one who is unlucky in his style is not only the court, but also the Confucianism that has been passed down for thousands of years and the aristocratic families who believe in him. Such a big show will take a thousand years to come." Several county magistrates helped each other and left, with a hint of bleakness from their backs, but more of aloofness.

Cheng Pan didn't care what these people said, nor did he know that these county magistrates were right, they were just spectators now. Cheng Pan was busy rushing to the military factory.

Now, heavy machine guns have appeared in Cheng Pan's territory, but this thing consumes too much metal bullets. As the earliest machine gun in the territory, Cheng Pan, a meteorological person, certainly did not know the structure of the Maxim heavy machine gun. The only reminder to his subordinates is the product of six pipes Gatlin's hand-cranked machine guns. At present, Gatlin in the territory does not have the style of the later Fire Dragon King. Now there is only one of the tops of the six pipes that can constantly spit bullets. As for the phenomenon that it will get stuck when shaken, Cheng Pan presses a hairspring on the handle and lets you go first

The handle is used to string the hairspring and then release elastic kinetic energy to rotate the six barrels. With such a layer of buffering, this kind of continuous gun was developed successfully through the training of machine gunners. However, even Cheng Pan felt distressed when the bullets were scattered after testing, but it was not yet reflected, and the military developers could not be affected by their desire to save money. After all, weapons after full testing are guaranteed. Cheng Pan did not want to equip the army with missiles that had been tested several times in later generations. The combat effectiveness of the Brown missile was not wanted to appear in his military research and development.

Compared with the heartache development of machine guns, the development of artillery is a scene of half helplessness and half happiness.

The machine gun came out, and Cheng Pan was like a leap forward. Mortars and flowering bullets have always been the killer among Cheng Pan's targets. Cheng Pan put a lot of effort into this. The technology of mortars is not difficult. Strictly speaking, infantry mortars are still a borehole gun. The shells are stuffed from the barrel opening at a adjusted angle. When the shells fall, they collided with the bottom and triggered the striker to stimulate the tail medicine bag to push the warhead. When the warhead lands, the striker connected to the inertial counterweight suddenly stopped when the bullet body touched the ground. The part of the inertial striker that was originally linked to the bullet body fell off inside the bullet body under inertia, and continued to move downward to stimulate the thunder and mercury detonation explosive.

Of course, the first problem encountered is the gun steel problem. In the thin-walled infantry mortars in the original space-time, the gun barrels have always been the best among gun steel. The mortars in the 21st century could reach 7,500 meters. Cheng Pan now has no way to make this gun steel. The chromium alone can only be made in a small amount, let alone metal processing with several other elements added. Cheng Pan's converter steelmaking has jumped the technology of large-scale steelmaking to the end of the 19th century, but the accumulation of materials science is not the case. Cheng Pan's laboratories can catch up with it in recent years.

In order to improve the accuracy of the gun barrel, the workers in the steel mill used the quilt cover technology, that is, put a gun barrel on a red hot metal pipe. After the outside metal pipe cooled down, the inside of the gun barrel was tightly wrapped due to the principle of heat expansion and contraction. It is easy to say, but this requires extremely high accuracy. The two metal pipes need to be tightly sewn. Currently, only No. 1 steel mill can perform this operation. Of course, in addition to the quilt cover technology, you can also use steel bars to tighten the gun barrel instead.

In short, the mortar product is by no means light. This iron lump is best to require a carriage to maneuver. Its range is sloppy to reach 1,200 meters. However, Cheng Pan was still satisfied with these data and got the ball.

Although this range of flowering bullets can already abuse any troops in this world, they have not given up on direct shooting artillery research without Cheng Pan. Currently, Cheng Pan knows the differences between his own artillery and the original space-time war artillery. The first is flowering bullets. Cheng Pan consciously gave up, and the second is breech. Under the temptation of the rear-loading gun, this thing came out. The gun gate structure of this sample is very similar to the Armstrong breech gun in the history of the original space-time history. Cheng Pan did not copy it. Cheng Pan is not interested in the cannon enthusiast. This thing was completely thought out by the technicians of the military factory. Not only is the thing stuck and the weight is extraordinary, the caliber is repeatedly streamlined, but the artillery gate cannot be reduced, and it will be a problem to reduce the caliber. This breech gun weighs 3 tons, which is only suitable for naval guns, but there are no enemies at sea that are worth using breech guns. Rockets are enough.

Therefore, there are still not much changes in the current army artillery, but because of the use of steel cast guns, there is no need to fire three guns as before, and a steel cast gun is used to cool it during continuous firing at a rate of fire per fifteen minutes, and it can be directly cooled until the rifle is smoothed.

After the appearance of steel cannons, all previous cannons became inferior products. Not only that, artillery ammunition began to change, and shrapnel was born. As a combination of solid range and shotguns that could kill soft targets, shrapnel was even more brutal than machine guns in this era without trenches and barbed wire.

A shroud bullet is a small amount of blasting medicine at the bottom of a barrel. The rest of the space is stuffed with iron. After the cannon knocked out the iron tube, it exploded in mid-air through the ignition of the delayed fuse, and sprayed out the iron in the barrel, forming a metal rain at the point of the shelling. In this way, before the delayed fuse is ignited, the initial speed of the iron inside the barrel is maintained. This strengthens the projection ability of the shotgun.

As a dogmatic team, Cheng Pan saw a group that penetrated Hainan ignited the delay lead through the fountain fired by the muzzle, so Cheng Pan had been walking on this road before. Because this ignition method was unreliable, many bullets fell to the ground in solid bullet mode. Therefore, the shotgun was not equipped. However, when studying the mortar's ground contact lead, Cheng Pan patted his head. This inertial striker can be installed in reverse. As soon as the cannon fired, the inertial striker ignited the delay lead in the barrel. The cannon ignited the flames and other things to make him get out. At the same time, a new technology was also proposed by military technicians, which was to use a spring to open the inertial striker to act as a security.

Cheng Pan and the military chief observed the new type of artillery experiments. Three kilometers away, wooden targets were penetrated by iron. Everyone was satisfied with this ultra-long-range infantry killer. Zhu Zichou said that solid bullets could be eliminated in the future, and this kind of shrapnel alone could cause ten times the previous strike. Cheng Pan couldn't help but sigh that the artillery was the God of War. At this time, He Feng said that only the squad line tactics he proposed now could restrain this kind of artillery bombardment and cooperate with this kind of artillery, because under this kind of artillery, the enemy could not guarantee a dense queue, and there was no need for a volleyball gun shooting tactic like the previous ones. He Feng's words then triggered a series of tactics about the appearance of shrapnel, and there was a fierce debate.

Cheng Pan now discovered that machine guns and mortars can be temporarily slowed down. When the two shine, they were trench warfare. Now the opponents in the territory do not have industrialized countries, and trench warfare cannot be fought at all. When the enemy does not have trenches, the lethality and range of mortars and machine guns are far less than that of the current God of War.
