"The soldiers and soldiers are divided into three groups, and then fire in turn. Pack the medicine needed for the gun in advance, and open it directly for use in wartime."
Hearing what Mao Zhengliang said, Zhang Hao, who was still very restrained, brightened his eyes.
"The marshal is wise. The marshal is so wise and powerful. With your two methods, the fighting power of the fire gun army has at least doubled. This is too, too powerful!"
Zhang Hao rubbed his hands and said, but the whole person was already a little excited.
So Mao Zhengliang couldn't help smiling at his appearance. Then he said: "The most taboo thing for leading troops is rigid thinking.
These two small ideas are reasonable. You should be able to think of them without me. Therefore, don't just work hard in the future. It's best to open your mind and think more about everything. "
"Yes, I understand. It is indeed my dereliction of duty."
Zhang Hao said at this time, and his face was also full of shame.
After all, compared with Mao Zhengliang, Zhang Haocai, a thousand household officer of the fire gun army, should be the most familiar person with the fire gun in the army. As the most familiar person in the army, Zhang Hao did not think of such two simple ideas.
In such a comparison, he was obviously derelict of duty.
So after realizing this, Zhang Hao, who was just in high spirits, suddenly turned into a frosted eggplant and lowered his head with shame.
Seeing this, Mao Zhengliang could not help but say, "It's good to realize this, this time, but never again. I don't want you all to be just a group of responders. You just do what the top wants, and have no idea of your own."
"Yes, yes."
"If the marshal's words really hit the head off, he will be ashamed."
Follow Mao Zhengliang and hear him say such words. In addition to Zhang Hao, Qian Wan and Gong Xukun nodded repeatedly at this time.
Therefore, Mao Zhengliang, who still remembered the fire gun, didn't say anything more.
I just went to other arms and encouraged them one after another.
Then, Mao Zhengliang, who could not wait for a long time, dismissed the troops of the three armies and called the town magistrate in charge of the ordnance casting of the army to his account.
So it was only two quarters of an hour later. At the age of 30, Wang Zhencai, the town magistrate, came to Mao Zhengliang's camp without stopping.
"The last general, Wang Zhencai, pay a visit to the marshal!"
As he stepped into the account, Wang Zhencai, who was in his prime of life, shouted, and then buckled his head to the ground with a loud bang.
So when he saw this, Mao Zhengliang smiled and waved his hand, making him stand up from the ground.
"Marshal Xie!" Wang Zhencai shouted again.
Then, without waiting for Mao Zhengliang to speak, the man who likes to go straight asked directly: "Marshal, I don't know if Marshal called the end general to come, what did he say?"
Mao Zhengliang: "I called you today. I just want to ask you something."
"Well, please tell me, Marshal. The last general will know everything if he knows it."
"Well, you don't need to do that. I just want to ask you today whether our army is capable of forging fireballs?"
"Fire gun?"
Wang Zhencai was stunned when he heard that Mao Zhengliang had specifically asked him to come for this.
"Well, Marshal Hui. All the craftsmen in our army are skilled in this industry. This fire gun can be forged by itself compared with them. However, the operation of the fire gun is complex and its lethality is not very strong.
So the soldiers and soldiers in the army don't like this weapon very much, and they haven't forged it in recent months. "
"Oh, so it is." Mao Zhengliang nodded, not surprised.
Because every era has its limitations.
As a passer-by from later generations, Mao Zhengliang understood that hot weapons such as blunders were the mainstream of weapons development in the future. But this does not mean that today's soldiers are willing to use such immature and sophisticated weapons.
After all, even the optimal propellant mass ratio of "one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal" has not been studied yet.
In this way, the soldiers are naturally unwilling to use the gun, which is a weapon with complex operation and not very powerful.
However, this is obviously not a problem for Mao Zhengliang, who is not limited by the times.
So after nodding his head, Mao Zhengliang looked at Wang Zhencai and said directly, "I once read a book written by Green Eye, but in this book, I wrote something new."
With that said, Mao Zhengliang would not stop telling Wang Zhencai about the best gunpowder quality ratio, which was more than a hundred years ahead of this era, in the name of green eye return.
That is, "one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal". To put it bluntly, it means one jin of saltpeter, two liang of sulfur and three liang of charcoal, with the ratio of 16:2:3.
But Wang Zhencai was stunned when he heard Mao Zhengliang's words, but it was hard to imagine.
Because nowadays, the ratio of gunpowder is 6:2:2, which is far from Mao Zhengliang.
As a result, due to the limitations of his own experience, Wang Zhencai, as a town caretaker, naturally had some difficulty in believing what Mao Zhengliang said today.
However, Mao Zhengliang was not afraid of this.
After all, history has already proved that its powder quality ratio is the best.
Therefore, looking at Wang Zhencai, who seemed a little disbelieving, Mao Zhengliang could not help but say directly: "I have already had people test these. The gunpowder configured in this way is indeed much more powerful than the gunpowder configured in the old way.
So, you can rest assured that I have not deceived you now. "
"Farewell, Marshal. I don't think so."
Although there is still some disbelief in his heart, Wang Zhencai is naturally not stupid enough to admit it. So when he heard such words from Mao Zhengliang, he waved his hands to deny them.
However, Mao Zhengliang just waved his hand and said, "OK, let's talk about the main thing first. But there is a different design of fire gun in that Hui Hui book.
That picture is very interesting. It is said that after making it, it can be twice as powerful as our current fire gun. So today I asked you to make the gun on this picture for me in addition to gunpowder. "
In this way, Mao Zhengliang, who had read the "Divine Instrument Manual" written by Zhao Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty, also used his memory to draw the basic structure of the gunpowder weapon, which was also more than 100 years ahead of the times, the bird gun, with charcoal.
"The design of the gun in that book is probably like this. But unfortunately, I can't find the original book. So you can do it according to the design I drew. Can you also do it?"
"This......" Wang Zhencai took the design drawing from Mao Zhengliang with both hands and looked at it for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help saying: "Back to Marshal, there should be no problem.
However, this kind of design drawing will be the first time to see it at the end, so it needs to be carefully studied. So I wonder if the marshal can give the last general one month to prepare? "
