255 Struggling
Although the flintlock rifle is a rare thing, it is not very advanced. Lu Haoshan knew that in Europe, the research on flintlock rifle has been underway and has achieved good results. In terms of research and development, the Ming Dynasty has lagged too much behind. Not to mention anything else, just take cannons as an example. The most powerful one now is the "Red Cannon" from Europe. The Ming Dynasty also lags behind in the casting of cannons.
If possible, just get out a heavy machine gun and place one after another a few dozen meters to ensure that the Later Jin Tartars will die. The problem is that it is very unrealistic. Let alone Lu Haoshan knows nothing about these things, even with design drawings, it is difficult to achieve. The more advanced the weapon, the higher the requirements. Not to mention, a small spring may become an insurmountable obstacle, because these requirements for elasticity, toughness and metal fatigue are very high, and the technology in the Ming Dynasty cannot be achieved at all.
The emergence and application of new things must be supported by new materials or new technologies.
The technological level of the Ming Dynasty was far from reaching this level. From the bird system to the back-filled flintlock rifle, this was a qualitative leap. Lu Haoshan was not greedy. As a craftsman in his previous life, Lu Haoshan still had this awareness and skills. Now he was facing ordinary people who were unarmed and untrained. However, in the future, he would face the well-trained and well-trained Later Jin Iron Cavalry, so he would have to be a little bit of a box. The two started too far apart. The current Later Jin Iron Cavalry can be said to be invincible in the world, while the soldiers under Lu Haoshan were still in the training stage.
Millions of wealth are not as good as one skill. My ancestors said this rightly. In his previous life, Lu Haoshan saved up hundreds of millions of wealth. There were more than 20 real estates, luxury cars, luxury houses, and beauties all over the country. In the Ming Dynasty, those who could not help, and those who depended on survival and development were still the crafts of the previous life.
Not easy.
After sighing, Lu Haoshan patted Xu Xiang's shoulder and said, "Okay, Xu Dajiang, this workshop will be handed over to you in the future. Everyone here will be under your control. You have to teach them well and teach them to build muskets, but the research on new muskets cannot be stopped. I can wait, but you can't delay. I will give you whatever you want. As long as you do your job well, I will take good care of them for you."
Rome was not built in one day, and Lu Haoshan did not expect Xu Xiang to get the new musket for himself tomorrow. Fortunately, it is the fifth year of Chongzhen. If there was no great deviation in history, the Ming Dynasty could have been delayed for more than ten years. With this trend, he would have another three to five development period. With his own shrewdness and ability, it is not a problem to build a powerful army that dominates the world.
"Yes, sir." Xu Xiang knew that he had no better choice, so he responded tactfully.
Lu Haoshan nodded and gave a few more instructions before he left the secret workshop with Li Nian.
When you get married, you have to accompany Lin Yuexuan more. Besides, some of the guests have not left yet. You cannot neglect them in terms of emotion and reason, so as not to cause criticism. Of course, those are mostly relatives and friends of the Lin family.
"Dongweng, there is one thing that I don't know whether to say or not." Li Nian suddenly spoke on the way back.
"Tell me, Mr. Li, there is no need to hide anything between you and me. Just say anything."
Li Nian responded, and then whispered: "Dengzhou is broken."
"Dengzhou, Shandong? When did it happen?" Lu Haoshan said in surprise.
Dengzhou belongs to the Shandong Peninsula, and belongs to the Shandong Provincial Administration and the Ministry of Justice. It has a prefecture and a capital of Penglai. It has jurisdiction over Ninghaizhou, Penglai County, Huang County, Fushan County, Qixia County, Zhaoyuan County, Laiyang County and Wendeng County. The governor of Denglai was established here at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, once trained the navy here, and Denglai became an important defense center. This is a strategic focus. For example, the materials transported to Jinzhou and Ningyuan were mostly transported through Dengzhou, because there was no navy in the Later Jin Dynasty, and the fall of Dengzhou would definitely cause shock to the court.
"It is said that it is the third day of the first lunar month. The rebel general Kong Youde captured Dengzhou City and killed almost all the officials, gentry and people. The governor Sun Yuanhua, the military supervisor Wang Zheng, the prefect Wu Weicheng, the co-magistrate Jia Mingjie, and the Penglai County Magistrate Qin Shiying all asked him to arrest him, which was simply a rebellion." Li Nian said with some emotion.
What happened in the first month of the year has only spread here now?
Lu Haoshan thought about it, with the efficiency of ancient times, it was nothing strange. Many things were reported only if they could not be covered. The disaster of the mob in Shaanxi was a precedent. In order to save funds, Chongzhen cut off large amounts of post stations, which made the efficiency of information transmission less than before. When it was transmitted to the court, it would probably be controversial. After a while, it spread to Lu Haoshan, and the daylily was cold.
If it is a good thing, it will probably appear in Yebao soon. However, now the Ming Dynasty is surrounded by enemies, so naturally they choose not to post or to post less. They all say that good things will not go out, and bad things will spread thousands of miles away, but the Ming Dynasty did the opposite.
Lu Haoshan sighed and said helplessly: "It's a turbulent time, but for the emperor, you're used to it."
Li Nian analyzed: "Dongweng, the Liaodong front is not stable yet, the bandits in Shaanxi and Shanxi have not been eliminated. Now this incident has happened again in Dengzhou. The court may have to mobilize troops to pacify it. In this way, Dongweng's opportunity to leave Sichuan has come."
Han Wendeng fought for the position and took the initiative to ask for troops to go out to Sichuan to suppress the bandits. Chongzhen was very happy and issued an order to commend Han Wendeng. However, the ministers of the court should have the Sichuan soldiers from Sichuan to argue endlessly. They have been chasing the saws. There is no conclusion yet. This is mainly a conflict of interests. Lu Haoshan is also unable to hurry up. What he needs to do now is to develop.
"Let it be natural. As our identities, we are powerless to control the consequences. Practicing the soldiers in our hands is the right way." Lu Haoshan said with his eyes narrowed.
"Dongweng is still calm," Li Nian nodded and said, "Okay, other places are in chaos, so the attention will not be on our side, and it will be just a matter of making a fortune in silence."
Lu Haoshan smiled, stopped asking this question, and asked, "How is the blast furnace running?"
"The first pot of iron was leaked yesterday, and it is still condensing now. However, the old iron craftsman said that he knew it was definitely very iron when he saw the quality. The student wanted to report it to Dongweng before he could get the result. Unexpectedly, Dongweng kept remembering this."
Can you not remember it? Lu Haoshan still wants to rely on those good irons to cast good guns and cannons. When the blast furnace is built, it takes time to inspect and guide, and find coal and ore. Fortunately, the official position of Qianhuokao has brought Lu Haoshan a lot of convenience. Everything is going smoothly. When he heard that the first furnace of iron had been successfully refined, he was in a good mood: "Yes, the supervision of those craftsmen should not be relaxed. The treatment should be good, the supervision should be strict, and we must never be careless."
"Dongweng, they will definitely not be able to escape, the students are ready." Li Nian said confidently.
Lu Haoshan asked with interest: "Oh, then tell me what preparations are there."
"The number of people is counted every morning and evening. Not only are there many open posts and secret sentries arranged around, but a fast-response scout brigade has also been established. A complete Feige intelligence network is difficult to fly even if they have wings. In addition, the second wife also thought of a wonderful way."
Lin Yuexuan also came up with a good way, and Lu Haoshan asked curiously: "Oh, what did Xuan'er think of?"
Li Nian walked two steps closer and lowered his voice, "Sir, these craftsmen are only concerned about working on their daily lives. Their clothes are washed by maids. The second wife lets a vanilla called Bai Xinzi seep into the rinsed water. It has a unique smell and is very light. It does not attract attention, but they dare to escape. No matter where they run, the dogs trained on weekdays can find them quickly."
This is OK? This method is so smart. Lu Haoshan nodded with satisfaction. There is a smart and steady military advisor that is really much more troublesome, but Lu Haoshan doesn't like them and they can run away. There are soldiers outside. It is full of dangers. It is delicious and safe here, and it is hard to find a lantern. If you stay here like a guest of honor, you won't be popular when you go out. Maybe you will starve to death, and even a fool will calculate it.
"Yes, if you keep a close eye on these things, I will focus on training the new army. If you and I work together sincerely, we will definitely achieve great achievements." Lu Haoshan said confidently.
"The boss has a far-sighted vision, and the students must do their best, and only Dongweng's leader is the leader." Li Nian said as he saluted Lu Haoshan solemnly.
Lu Haoshan helped him up and said, "Mr. Li, there is no need to be too polite. You know that I don't like this. Okay, let's go to the scout camp to see how those little guys trained."
I wanted to go home, but I saw that it was still early, so Lu Haoshan immediately decided to go to Li Dingguo and the others for training.
"Yes, boss"
The scout camp set up a mountain behind the Thousand Houses. After integration, Lu Haoshan concentrated the soldiers of the Thousand Houses. With the number of people recruited from outside, the number of people was about 3,000. The actual number was three times the rated number. One garrison would definitely not be able to train. Besides, other garrisons also needed to garrison troops. Lu Haoshan scattered people in various garrisons for training, conducting joint training and competition from time to time to form a kind of healthy competition. In order to enhance their sense of honor, the original names of the hundred households were given and named by each person, such as Feiying Camp, Shanzi Camp, and Xiongbao Camp, were all named by the captains of their location, but these soldiers were usually managed by the deputy captains.
Because all the captains are concentrated in the most elite scout camp to receive rigorous training.
The name Li Dingguo of Feiying Camp gave to his team. Shanzi Camp is the name given to his team by Dashan, Xiongbao Camp is the name given to his team by Sun Xiong, Lu Haoshan has the right to name them, and the scout camp was given to Lu Haoshan, because Lu Haoshan is the captain of the scout camp and directly commands the most elite troops. This scout camp is regarded as Lu Haoshan's personal soldiers.
The most elite troops must be in their own hands.
"Hold your hands, hurry up, run for me."
"Hold on, don't drag your companions down."
“Quick, fast, fast”
In the simple training ground, the scout camp members were sweating profusely, carrying a thick log back and forth in a group of three people. This is a training program set by Lu Haoshan. They train the team members' endurance, load and collaboration ability. The logs were newly cut, each of which was about seven or eight meters long and weighed hundreds of kilograms. Carrying and running was not easy. These young men in their teens were naked, gritting their teeth and training with all their hearts. No one said they were suffering, no one said they were tired, and no one gave up easily.
For them, it is their pride and honor to enter this scout camp of the highest honor, and they must defend this honor.
The scout camp members accidentally saw their captain Lu Haoshan suddenly appear next to watch, and they trained more vigorously. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
