Chapter 202 Successfully Developed Melee Artifact
Soon thousands of women who could communicate in simple Chinese were selected.
Zhang Xiu sent a daughter-in-law to each of the disabled soldiers who did not marry a daughter-in-law, and also gave each of them ten taels of silver as a gift.
Lin Zheng and his group hurriedly discussed it. These years they have always won a lot of battles, and they have captured a lot each time. The rewards for these generals are very generous every time. It can be said that each of them is very rich.
Now seeing that Zhang Xiu gave each soldier a congratulatory gift of ten taels of silver, they also discussed that everyone should pay together and give each soldier a congratulatory gift of five taels of silver.
After Zhang Xiu heard the news, he didn't care. These guys have been rich all these years. If they didn't dare to exceed their ten taels of silver, it wouldn't be a big deal for them to give 50 taels of silver to each disabled soldier.
After these things were done, Zhang Xiu had nothing else to do, and began to lead Yongjia to play in this large fief of her man.
There are soldiers from the Changsheng Battalion everywhere, and there is basically no danger here. The two women only brought fifty servants and twenty court ladies, and they had a great time.
Besides, Xiao Qi who was still in Ryukyu, since he took all the island and began to station officials at all levels, he began to concentrate on studying the matters in the southern waters.
Basically, most of the countries in the southern sea area have been studied, although it is not known who controls those places now.
But for the current Changsheng Yingshui Division, it doesn't matter who controls it now, as long as they are not satisfied, kill them and replace them with someone who is satisfied.
If that doesn't work, then just occupy all those places and directly add them to the territory of the Song Dynasty.
When they were about to formulate a strategy to capture the southern sea area, soldiers outside the door came to report that General Qin Tu wanted to see him.
Xiao Qi asked his soldiers to invite Qin Tu in, but Xiao Qi did not put away the sea map. He was still studying the southernmost point of the southern sea area, thinking about whether he could capture it as well.
When Qin Tu came in and saw Xiao Qi was studying the southern sea area, he immediately became interested, and stood aside to look at the chart drawn by Xiao Qi.
Seeing Qin Tu coming in and not speaking for a long time, Xiao Qi turned his head and asked: "General Qin came to see me in such a hurry, why did he not speak when he came?"
Qin Tu laughed twice:
"Prince-in-law! Originally, I wanted to ask you to assign this place to me for garrison. You know that my hometown is near the sea.
I like this big island very much. Now it seems that you are going to go to war again. In the end, the general thinks that you should go to war with the son-in-law first, and we can talk about it when we come back. "
Xiao Qi originally wanted to say that this expedition does not need to bring the brave army, but only the tens of thousands of sailors.
After thinking about it, Luzon alone is composed of several large islands. If you don't bring a brave army to fight on land, I'm afraid some of the ports I set up there will be harassed by those inland tribes .
So he put down the chart and said: "Don't wait until you come back, there will always be someone to take care of you when I take you away in the future.
After the war, it is not good to drive away the appointed people when you come back. Let me appoint you to take full charge of this place now.
It's just that you have to make the arrangements here first before I can take you to the battle. If you don't make the arrangements when it's time to go to the battle.
Then you can't blame me for taking others. "
Qin Tu was overjoyed!
Hurry up and salute: "Don't worry, son-in-law, the last general will arrange for the garrison now. Don't worry, everything will be properly arranged before the expedition."
Just as Qin Tu took his leave and left, another soldier came to report that the commander-in-chief asked the craftsmen to develop something called a grenade.
Xiao Qi was overjoyed!
Ordering people to prepare horses, put all the charts and other things into the warehouse, Xiao Qi came to the door.
Seeing that hundreds of soldiers were already leading their horses, they tied the saddle and rein on 'Heitantou' and were waiting for him.
Everyone rushed to the pier and saw a group of soldiers carefully moving boxes of goods from the cargo ship under the call of several craftsmen.
Xiao Qi summoned the leading craftsman and after asking, he found out that these grenades had been developed long ago, which was why it took so long to deliver them.
Everyone was stuck on the fuse and packaging, because Xiao Qi had requested that the grenade should take about three breaths from being ignited to exploding, and it could not be too long or too short.
Moreover, these grenades are required to be packaged in a moisture-proof and waterproof manner when they are not in use. Even in rainy days, it is also necessary to ensure that these grenades will not become damp and unusable due to rain.
These craftsmen spent a lot of time researching on the stable burning fuze, and the current burning time of the fuse has been controlled to about three breaths, the difference is no more than half a breath.
A lot of money was spent on waterproofing. Each of these grenades was wrapped in thick oiled paper, and these grenades were usually transported in large boxes.
When assigned to sergeants before the war, each sergeant can be assigned a coarse cloth bag. Each coarse cloth bag can hold five grenades. After the grenades are taken out, the oil paper outside can be removed and they can be ignited and used.
If it rains, the sergeant can also wrap the grenade cartridge with oil paper so that the outside of the cartridge is protected from getting wet by the oil paper.
If it is used on sunny days, the sergeant can leave the oil paper around the coarse cloth bag, so that the coarse cloth bag can also have a certain waterproof and moisture-proof effect.
After hearing what the craftsman leader said, Xiao Qi praised the hard work of these craftsmen, saying that these grenades will be used for experiments later, and if the effect is as good as the craftsman said, he will reward these craftsmen vigorously.
The craftsmen were overjoyed when they heard this, and followed Xiao Qi with a box of grenades to the test site to give Xiao Qi a demonstration.
Sure enough, the effect was as they said, and the burning time of the fuse was well controlled.
Moreover, those grenades were placed on the ground, a basin of water was poured on them, the grenades were picked up, and the oil paper wrapping was removed, the fuzes were still ignited without any influence.
Xiao Qi immediately issued an order that each of these craftsmen would be rewarded with silver ranging from a hundred taels to a thousand taels according to their merits.
These craftsmen happily bid farewell and returned, Xiao Qi told them to step up the production of these grenades when they go back, and must send more than [-] grenades as soon as possible.
All the craftsmen responded repeatedly, and left by boat to return to Song Dynasty.
Next, Xiao Qi ordered [-] Musketeers to find fist-sized stones and began to practice throwing grenades.
This thing still needs to be cautious, otherwise it is easy to cause accidents.
Of course, this thing still needs to be trained with live ammunition in the end. At least everyone must be able to throw a live ammunition once.
After arranging the practice of throwing grenades for the Musketeers, Xiao Qi returned to his residence.
"Ding! This specific check-in task: the creation of unearthed grenades has been completed."
"Ding! The reward for completing the task: the blueprint of the flintlock gun structure has been issued."
"This task is a specific task. After completion, there are only rewards, and there is no sign-in and upgrade experience."
"Ding! This specific mission has ended. The next specific mission requires the host to activate it again."
Xiao Qi heard the notification that the task was completed, and immediately took out the blueprint of the flintlock musket rewarded by Cangkong, and began to study it.
This flintlock gun is actually not complicated.
On the basis of the musket, a hammer is added to the rear side of the gun, and a piece of flint is clamped on the jaw of the hammer.
In addition, on the same side of the musket, a fire transmission hole was made, and a strike anvil was set beside the fire transmission hole.
When shooting, the trigger is pulled and the flint is hit heavily on the anvil next to the fire door under the action of the spring.
The sparks that come out of the collision ignite the gunpowder in the fire transmission hole, and the gunpowder burns along the fire transmission hole into the gun barrel to ignite the gunpowder inside to fire.
Although such a musket is still a front-loading musket, there is still a certain gap with the rear-loading musket.
But this is already a great improvement. At least when ambushing the strange people at night, the enemy will not see the dots of matchlocks in the hands of the Musketeers from a long distance.
This allows the Musketeers to hide themselves well at night without using open flames, thus reducing the possibility of exposure.
Xiao Qi quickly copied this blueprint, and handed it to the soldiers, ordering it to be sent to the blacksmith who made the guns, and asked them to modify the new barrels, and all of them were changed into this kind of flintlock device.
