There is no place to live on the huge Guangmu. Liu Mingyu is not an ordinary person. The Guangmu sleeping in the Guangmu is called Qiangong Guangmu. It can be understood as a small house.

Yang Xianxian completely regarded it as an ostrich, covered her head and felt that she had no face to see anyone.

"How could this happen? I actually pee on Hiroki?"

Soon, Yan'er lowered her head and came to Guangmu and quickly changed the bedding. From beginning to end, Yan'er didn't say a word.

After a long time, Yang Xianzhang recovered and then got up and wrapped himself in a bath towel to take a shower.

Liu Mingyu had already been flooded with water, and his body was wet and sticky, so he naturally had to go there.

Before, the backyard bath of the Liu Family Army's military headquarters was considered a public bathhouse for the Liu Family Army, the company commander, the general manager, the general manager, and the regiment commander, could come to take a hot bath. However, since Yang Xianxian came here, although the door of the backyard was not closed, all officers were not allowed to come in.

Originally, this was just a serious bath, but when you meet an inappropriate person, the bath changed its taste.

When Yang Xianxian and Liu Mingyu came out of the bathroom, the night was already deep.

Yang Xingxian cooked in person and prepared the meal.

"Why don't you take a break?"

"It's okay, I'm not tired!"

"I don't have to do it anymore. Some people do this kind of thing!"

Tasting the food made by Yang Xianxian, the taste is OK. In this era without all kinds of seasonings, it is better than that of ordinary housewives in this way.

Liu Mingyu thought about it for two reasons. Yang Xianxian was willing to put things. Take oil as an example. The amount of oil she puts in a dish is larger than that of most families a day. Secondly, if you eat too much, you will naturally figure out how to make it delicious. Yang Xianxian's family has only been in the middle of the family for three years. As the daughter of the Lianghuai Salt Road Censor of the Ming Dynasty, their Yang family is not short of ingredients, so it is normal that they are better than ordinary people.

A skillful woman is hard to cook without rice. Her skills are cultivated by a large amount of materials, which is the same as a sharpshooter who needs to rely on a large number of bullets to feed them. Of course, some tricks are also very important. If the master doesn’t tell you, you will run further and further on the wrong path. The so-called master leads the door and practice depends on individuals in most industries.

After a meal, Yang Xianxian and Liu Mingyu were taking a walk in the garden in the backyard, talking about interesting stories about Yang Xianxian's life when she was young. Liu Mingyu was in her arms, which was quite comfortable!

...

Unlike Liu Mingyu's comfort, all the craftsmen of the Liu Family Army Guns and Cannon Bureau can be said to be living like a year. Chen Quan of the Qianzheng Fifth Regiment of the Guns and Cannon Bureau serves as the Qianzheng General, with the Musket Division, Artillery Division, Maintenance Division, and six or seven improvement teams.

There were 20 or 30 officers of all sizes.

The Guns and Cannon Bureau does not have production tasks like the Ordnance Bureau. The real reason is that Liu Mingyu looked down on muskets of this era. The Ming-style muskets were actually mainly mesh rope guns. Because there was no unified standard and specification, even the caliber of the gun could not be unified. The lead bullets distributed by the muskets were actually large pieces of lead. When fired, the muskets pinched the lead bullets into a suitable size and stuffed them into the barrel.

Due to poor airtightness and very close range, it can theoretically shoot 100 steps, but in fact, fifty or sixty steps, the accuracy is only octave. Moreover, this kind of musket does not aim at the sight, and even the butt stock is not the kind of butt stock in later generations, but vertical, like a stick.

The slow firing rate, close range, small power, bulky, and many other shortcomings made Liu Mingyu not have the idea of ​​expanding the production of the musket team. When Liu Mingyu thought, spending eight to twelve taels of silver to equip a musket such was a waste of resources.

"Due to level issues, everyone in power cannot participate in the arms meeting organized by the Marquis!"

Chen Quan took the meeting minutes prepared by the document and said stutteringly: "At the meeting, the Marquis said that everything is developing in a good direction now, so we can breathe a sigh of relief. We should talk about the future of the army. I want to ask Zhu from the beginning, what kind of army do you hope to have and what kind of weapons do you equip them with?"

Commander Liu Yongshun of the First Infantry Regiment said: "I hope to have a disciplined, loyal and reliable army, and well-equipped army!"

Ma Chenggong, the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment, said: "Of course, the generals hope to have a loyal and reliable and well-equipped army, but this is really too difficult and too difficult! The Qi family army once swept across the coastal wok and Mongolia, but never lost, but such powerful brigades were all fed by money. The first battalion of soldiers would have at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. How can they have so much money now!"

...

The previous ones were all about the training and discipline of the troops. At this moment, "The Marquis said that he would improve the configuration of musketeers in the troops. This proposal was collectively opposed by Liu Yongshun, Ma Cheng of the Second Infantry Regiment, Li Shuanzhu of the Third Infantry Regiment, and Zhao Hu, the commander of the Fourth Infantry Regiment. They all believed that the gun could not be used, and the gun was too bad!"

"In the Battle of Xiazhuang, when our First Regiment fought against Jiannu, hundreds of brothers used guns. One platoon shot him. Jiannu did not fall a few, but more than a dozen guns exploded, breaking the brothers' fingers and blinding their eyes!"

"The gun is so bad. It takes a long time to make a second shot after one shot. Before the second shot is loaded, the enemy's spear stabbed into the musketeer's chest!"

Hearing this, these gun-making craftsmen and officers were silent. This was the limitation of muskets in this era. In fact, it costs eight to twelve taels of silver to be equipped with a musket. In fact, this equipment is much cheaper, and it is even cheaper than spearmen. Muskets do not need to be equipped with armor, even if they are equipped, they are just cowhide armor or paper armor.

Because the mezzanine is really unreliable, the quality is unreliable, and the firing procedures are extremely complicated. From putting the gun rack to the fork rack to firing fire, it is divided into twenty-five steps. Soldiers with extremely fast hands and feet can only fire two or three bullets in one minute, while those with slow hands and feet should laugh if they can shoot three rounds in two minutes.

Secondly, the range is close, and if you have more than 60 steps, you will be completely inaccurate. However, Hou Jin's archers can shoot targets outside of 70 steps with extremely accurate accuracy. The worst thing is that if they shoot rapidly, they can shoot fifteen to sixteen arrows in one minute!

It is not difficult to imagine that under such a terrible rain of arrows, the musketeers standing in the front row would definitely turn people upside down and kill and injured the ground. Most people had no chance to fire a second shot.

Three-stage shooting? Stop making fun of it. Even if you use three-stage shooting, you can only fire six to nine times a minute. It is still far from the speed of the archer!

If Great Britain faced the infantry of the Ming Dynasty, it would not need to be too elite. Even the quality of the nine-sided army would be dead without waiting for the British musketeers to reach twenty steps. The Ming army's crossbows could teach them how to be a human being. As for why the Qing army could be the one who was fighting like that, it was not because the British and French coalition forces were too strong, but because the Qing army was too weak.

Friends who are proficient in foreign history may be able to check the Second Boer War. Boer is Dutch, meaning "peasant". The Boer people refer to the descendants of the Dutch who colonized southern Africa and Africa. As a result, Great Britain invested more than 400,000 troops and took three years to attack a small country with only more than 100,000 people. Great Britain paid 22,000 people and injured more than 100,000 people.

This is the limitation of weapon performance and line array tactics, and it cannot be compensated by training. If a contrailer is used to deal with infantry advancing on foot, it will play an excellent role, but when facing the Jiannu cavalry that is coming and going like the wind, the role it can play is really limited, which is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty border troops would rather use bows and arrows than combs.

After five days of closed-door meeting of the Guns and Cannon Bureau, the meeting discussed five summary opinions to improve the firing efficiency of existing muskets, and strive to complete at least twenty lead shots in one incense stick (two and a half minutes). The second is to improve the range of the musket, use at least 120 steps to reach the range of the crossbow, and make the musket within at least 80 steps, and have the lethality of shooting through the three layers of iron armor of Jiannu white armor.

The second is to cancel the backward launch method of the mesh gun, adopt the Westerners' fire design, and propose the hit rate. Finally, it is to improve the aiming mechanism of the musket, increase the Wangshan (also-semi-scene) design, and improve the shooting accuracy.

...

During this period, refugees and refugees at the immigration isolation points began to move out after three days of closed isolation, and the first one was Cao Liu. Because when Cao Shitou was killed, he was already in the position of the leader. After the death, the assigned house belonged to the B-type apartment, which had four main houses and three wing rooms.

Cao Liu took his son Cao Huzi and daughter Cao Yindi with their whole family belongings, including three beds, three washbasins, towels, kettles and other belongings. Seeing that Cao Liu was having some difficulty, Hongniang took the initiative to help Cao Liu move, and followed Cao Liu to see the house assigned by the Liu family army.

When he arrived in the direction of Dongcheng, Hongniang saw courtyards located, not the blue bricks and gray tiles of this era, but the red bricks and gray tiles similar to the later generations, layer by layer, row by row, and very spectacular.

The blue brick and gray tiles buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties adopted the blue brick and gray tiles, which were similar to the burning coke type, and the cost of this kind of fire is relatively high, and it takes about fifteen to twenty days to one furnace. The firing process is complicated and the quality is good, especially the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance is excellent. Even if it is exposed to wind and rain for a hundred years, it will not dry or weather.

However, red bricks do not have such quality, but red bricks have a very good feature, that is, they can be released after three days and three nights of burning, and only one-seventh of the blue bricks and gray tiles when used.

All main houses are of the same height, and the wing rooms are also in the same layout, neat and tidy, and look particularly spectacular. Under the leadership of the sergeant who was responsible for resettling military families, Cao Liu came to a brand new courtyard.

"Sister Cao, this row is all B-type apartments of the platoon leader level. The one on your right has not been assigned yet. The one on the right is Mrs. Lan!"

The Hongmao looked along the wall and saw a woman in the yard holding a dustpan to pick up soybeans, and walked to the door to say hello to the sergeant. Two three or four-year-old boys were wearing open-crotch pants and ran around in the yard with bare butts.

Cao Liu pushed open the courtyard and saw that the wooden door was about three inches thick and the materials were absolutely solid. As long as he was on the door, adult men would probably not easily knock it open.

This type of apartment is said to be seven rooms, but in fact it is eight rooms.

It’s just that the area is different. There are four main halls, and on the right is a wing room and half a kitchen built in the house. One room in the west wing is regarded as a storage room, and the other half is a toilet, or can be converted into a bathroom.

The stove in the kitchen is either burning wood, firewood, or coal balls. The passage of the chimney surrounds the main house. Once winter comes, open the door of the chimney and bring the heat from cooking to the main house.

The Hongniang put the bedding he was holding in the hall in the bedroom, and then she realized that there were actually only two beds in the room, one big and one small, the one big and the one big and about five feet wide, and the bed small and about four feet wide.

There are also cabinets, tables, stools and other furniture in the house.

On the case in the middle of the main hall, there is a tablet of the gods, which read "The God's Position of Martyr Cao Shitou".

Cao Huzi carefully held Cao Liu's hand: "Mom, this is our new home!"

"Huzi, Yindi, kneel down!"

The two children knelt down in confusion.

Cao Liu said, "Kowtow to your father!"
Chapter completed!
