Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

"What, Zhang Ente's two attacks can kill more than a dozen of us?"

The short-legged tiger Wang Ying walked forward, looked at the corpse on the ground, and then looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Isn't this the villager we killed two days ago? I, Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying, am a man. I was caught by you and dared to take responsibility. We killed the people, and they are not ours."

Magistrate Zhou Bin asked: "Are you sure?"

Wang Ying turned her head to one side and stopped answering.

Zhou Bin sighed: "Here comes someone, let him sign it!"

Wang Ying looked up to the sky and smiled, and the laughter was actually a bit penetrating.

Jiang Tongpan on the side suggested: "Sir, do you think you should put these people..."

Zhou Bin waved his hand: "Tomorrow there will be a three-party joint review, and then it will be reported to the Road Supervision Department for review. This kind of people will be punished in the future."

The police sergeants captured Wang Ying and others.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Bin changed his more tolerant attitude and cursed: "This Zhang Ence is really too courageous. I think he is impatient with life."

Jiang Tongpan took a step forward:

"Sir, should Zhang Ence's matter be discussed in the long term? It's just the people beating drums to cry out their grievances and the heads hanging on the city walls. This matter cannot be delayed any longer..."

Zhou Bin nodded and turned to look at Su Xia: "Master Su, please see how this matter should be handled."

"Sir, since Tuan Lian made the people over there make a mistake, we still need to remove those heads as soon as possible to appease the main troublemakers. Just say that the soldiers cut off the wrong heads of the dead people and bandits. As for Zhang Tuan Lian, I It’s inconvenient to say more, but at this time, Wang Ying and other pirates can patrol the streets... to divert the attention of the people."

The prefect Zhou Bin already had a splitting headache. What Zhang Ence did made him a little anxious: "I know, I will do what you say first."

"Sir Chiang, tomorrow we will organize policemen to parade the pirates through the streets."

The Ruyi Restaurant next to Dengzhouwei Pier has become the largest restaurant in Dengzhouwei after more than half a year of renovation and construction.

Su Xia was sitting in the guest room with Li Dong, Ling Zhen, Xiong Hui, Sun Sihe, the descendant of Medicine King Sun Simiao, and others.

Lu Zhishen walked in swaggeringly, his face was covered with sweat, and it looked like he had walked a lot.

Su Xia stood up hurriedly: "Master, is it possible that someone is following you on the road?"

"Indeed, the Sa family saw those rubbing birds. Although they were wearing casual clothes, they were all wearing official cloth boots. They were from the Gongmen Army. They must be the people who trained Zhang Ence in the regiment. They are now at the door of the restaurant. , If you hadn’t allowed me to hit people, brother, I would have thrown these rub birds into the sea."

Everyone laughed.

However, Lu Zhishen was indeed both rough and subtle, and he revealed the essence of the matter in just a few words.

After sitting down, Lu Zhishen drank several large cups of tea: "I have contacted Brother Jiuzhilong Shijin, and will be coming from Shaohua Mountain with Zhu Wu, Chen Da, Yang Chun and others soon."

Su Xia nodded and winked at Xiong Hui and Li Dong: "Those at the door, don't leave them idle. Say hello to them and don't kill them."

The two people immediately understood what Su Xia meant, got up and left.

On the side, Lu Zhishen, who was hungry and thirsty, followed Handi Hulu Zhugui into the room and started eating first.

In the side room, a table of good meals had been prepared for him.

Instead, Ling Zhen and Sun Sihe discussed how to prepare gunpowder and artillery. The combination of the two naturally worked well.

However, Su Xia did not agree with this method of lighting the cannon with a match rope.

Using a match rope to ignite the artillery will undoubtedly increase the reloading time of the artillery, and also bring many uncontrollable errors to the aiming.

This is just like the delay in the game. If you kill someone with high delay, you basically can only rely on luck.

Su Xia took out something from her pocket and handed it to the two of them: "You all know this kind of thing, right?"

Ling Zhen asked: "Is this flint?"

Su Xia nodded:

Yes, I want to use flint to ignite the cannon. In this way, we don’t have to worry about the burning matchstick exposing the target at night, and the rate of fire is faster!

Moreover, Ling Zhen, you can use it on the musket. In terms of the design of the musket, do not use bamboo tubes, but copper or iron. If you equip the flint on the musket to fire lead bullets, you should follow the instructions Create this design idea. "

After Su Xia finished speaking, she handed over the drawings she had drawn in the past two days to the two of them.

This thing is actually a type of musket, but Su Xia skipped the development plan of the matchlock gun and directly drew the flintlock gun and handed it over to the two of them for research and development.

Su Xia mainly needs to solve two things: one is the problem of the barrel of the flintlock gun, which is really difficult at the current level of scientific research and preparation, and the second is the production of gunpowder, primer, and cartridge cases for the flintlock gun.

These problems are complicated and cannot be produced by Su Xia bringing the memories in her mind.

Li Gaosheng is a skilled craftsman, but making these things requires gradual accumulation. Otherwise, Su Xia can just make a thousand 95 automatic rifles and conquer the world!

Although metallurgical technology became increasingly mature in the Northern Song Dynasty, compared with modern times, both output and quality could not be compared.

There are no machine tools, how to refine the so-called steel?

Especially since the Northern Song Dynasty, coal has been used to smelt iron in the northern region.

Such steel generally contains high sulfur, which reduces the ductility and toughness of the metal.

Su Xia is a history buff and a soldier. He knows a lot about ancient firearms. He knows that the high sulfur content in the firearms made at that time made the barrels prone to explosion.

These important issues need to be solved urgently. If you want to develop firearms, you must have an expert who understands metallurgy and iron-making, plus the drawings designed by him, a graduate of the mechanical major.

Only in this way will your equipment embark on a prosperous road that changes with each passing day!

At least, your own army can be equipped with flintlock muskets and smoothbore cannons with faster firing speed and longer range!

These golden wheel cannons and mother-and-child cannons made by Ling Zhen were said to be big cannons. In fact, in Su Xia's eyes, they were very crude in appearance and inaccurate. They were just big, stupid, thick, thick firecrackers!

In particular, the Golden Wheel Cannon weighs 105 kilograms, which is not as powerful as the [-]mm mortar Su Xia used in the special operations force in the past! Not to mention accurate, the reloading speed is as fast as a snail.

As for the rifled cannon, Su Xia doesn't think about it at all now.

The top priority is to make more suitable steel and produce better projectiles first!

Only in this way can the real cannon be fired, and a thousand taels of gold be obtained!

As long as it can reach the level of the Armstrong cannon made in the West in the [-]th century, Su Xia will be sure to rebel!

(Armstrong gun: a large rifled gun in the West in the 19th century, which was more powerful)
