The eldest son of the red mansion

Next, with the help of the human machine tool made by Jia Ke and the new tool steel, the barrels were completed one by one with quality and quantity guaranteed.

After that, the trial-produced flintlock was installed according to the blueprint of the flintlock that had been designed three years ago.

As a result, the flintlock gun produced had another problem, that is, the ignition device was unreliable.

The flintlock gun basically uses the impact of flint on the hammer to generate sparks and ignite the gunpowder.

But this hammer cannot guarantee that every impact can produce sparks at any time, and the sparks produced cannot guarantee that the gunpowder can be ignited.

If such a large-scale gun failure occurred during the war, then the battle would not be able to continue.

Finally, after improvement, the hitting area of ​​the hammer was increased, and a fire curtain was added above the spinal cord and gunpowder to reduce the impact of natural wind on gunpowder and sparks.

After improvement, this flintlock gun can be used. The improved flintlock gun only fails to fire once every 20 shots.

Such an error rate is already available on the battlefield.

After Jia Ke got the flintlock gun and finished making it, he went to the factory to experiment in person.

After testing, this flintlock gun has a lifespan of a thousand rounds, which in Jia Ke's opinion is very remarkable.

Jia Ke opened her mouth lightly, and named the newly completed flintlock gun - Type 04 flintlock gun.

The next step is to start mass production to equip the troops.

Although Jia Ke has equipment, the number of machine tools is not many, and each machine tool can only process 2 to 3 barrels per day.

And Jia Ke only has a dozen machine tools. If this goes on, it will be a year of the monkey to equip the troops.

So in the following days, Jia Ke ordered people to make more than 100 machine tools, all of which were lined up and used to make gun barrels.

Three to four hundred barrels can be processed a day, and about 04 Type [-] flintlock guns can be produced every month.

Only now can Jia Ke feel at ease. The efforts of the past three years have not been in vain. If he persists for another year or so, it won't take much. As long as there are [-] troops armed with flintlock guns, Jia Ke will be sure to sweep the mainland.

Chapter 733

After Jia Ke completed the development of the flintlock gun, he ordered the firearms factory to go all out to produce the Type 04 flintlock gun.

And these flintlock guns are given priority to be equipped with the three major battalions in the capital.

However, the three major battalions had 10,000+ at any rate, so naturally they couldn't distribute them equally. Therefore, Jia Ke went up and equipped the existing flintlock guns to Xiao Yue of the Fenwu Camp.

This is also the first advantage of being close to the water. Xiao Yue is Jia Yingchun's husband anyway, so Jia Ke naturally has some preference for him.

After Xiaoyue was equipped with 2 flintlock guns, Jia Ke personally went to Xiaoyue's Fenwu camp and personally instructed Xiaoyue's troops on the use of the Type 04 flintlock gun.

To say that Jia Ke didn't have any whimsical ideas, he just arranged these teams according to what he knew, according to the formation of the west of the earth, and then implemented the tactic of queuing up and shooting.

This method of queuing and shooting has been used in the West for hundreds of years, and it is presumably because Westerners have practiced it extensively.

After the 2 flintlock soldiers barely formed an army, Jia Ke also conducted a large-scale military exercise, using these 2 flintlock soldiers to resist the attack of 5 cold-armed soldiers.

The result is self-evident, the flintlock soldiers lined up neatly, approaching each other at a uniform speed with drumbeats accompanied by military music, and then the three rows fired in turn.

The result of the final exercise is that as long as the fusiliers do not cause confusion and other weapons, it is difficult for the troops to approach the army formed by the fusiliers.

Jia Ke was satisfied after watching this exercise, and this was the prototype of his future troops.

Next, Jia Ke asked the firearms workshop to make cannons. In fact, the production of cannons in ancient times was simpler than that of guns.

In addition, Jia Ke had the original machine tool. Under Jia Ke's suggestion, the craftsmen directly passed through several eras, and used iron mold casting for the casting of artillery.

The finished artillery model was polished internally and externally with machine tools. As a result, human errors were greatly reduced, and the existence of air holes in the artillery was also reduced.

After Jia Ke sent the first batch of 1 artillery pieces to Xiao Yue's army, Jia Ke's ideal army finally took shape.

These artillery use solid bullets at a distance, and grape bullets at a close distance, which can greatly deter and kill the enemy.At the same time, it also ordered the firearms workshop to actively develop explosive bombs.

After several months of planning, Xiao Yue's [-] Fen Wu Battalion became an army with all firearms.

In the next few large-scale exercises, the Fenwu Battalion, with 5 people, resisted the attacks of several other major battalions.And it also gave the opponent a lot of damage.

Jia Ke is satisfied now. As long as the three major battalions in the capital are all re-equipped, Jia Ke can move northward. In the past few years, he has been here with the Tatars in vain.

Jia Ke had just returned to the palace from Fenwuying that day when he got the news that King Jia Zhi of Chu asked to see him.

Jia Ke was taken aback for a moment. In the past few years, to be honest, Jia Ke cared less about this child.

Jia Ke thought for a while and nodded, letting someone pass through Jia Zhi to come in.

Jia Zhi entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and when she saw Jia Ke, she first kowtowed and saluted, "My son Jia Zhi, I have met my father, I wish my father long live, long live long live."

Jia Ke was in a good mood these few days. Seeing Jia Zhi kneeling and kowtowing, she hurriedly ordered Li Deshan who was next to him to help Jia Zhi up, and then asked with a smile on her face, "How are you doing these days? Are you reading well? "

After hearing this, Jia Zhi quickly cupped his hands and said, "You gentlemen are very dedicated, and I feel a little respect for my son."

Jia Ke nodded and said: "The way of Confucius and Mencius is the foundation of governing the country. You have to study hard. At the same time, you should read more history books and use history as a mirror."

Jia Zhi listened respectfully to Jia Ke's reprimand from below. Seeing that Jia Ke had finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Father, although my son has read a lot of Confucius and Mencius, he still feels that he must serve in the army." This time, I want to ask my father to allow my son to go to the Fenwu Camp, my son is willing to start as a soldier, and will never lose face of my father."

Jia Ke was sitting there happily at first, but when she heard that Jia Zhi was going to join the army, she immediately frowned.

Jia Ke didn't care about other things, but his sensitivity to military power surpassed that of any previous emperor.

In particular, Jia Ke was a little hesitant about Jia Zhi's bloodline, after all, he still had half of the former bloodline on him.

Now that Jia Zhi wants to go to the army to practice, maybe he wants to slowly establish prestige in the army in order to win the heir.

Jia Ke thought for a while, her other sons almost all grew up under the care of their mother, only Jia Zhi, whose mother passed away at a young age.

Although Concubine Li also cared for him, but she was not his biological mother after all, so he inevitably felt a little inferior.

Another manifestation of this low self-esteem is pride. Once a person is proud, he will have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Jia Ke smiled, and said to Jia Zhi who was standing below: "You are still young, and after all, you are my son, how can you mix with those big soldiers? Don't mention this matter, you should study hard , for future use."

When Jia Zhi heard Jia Ke's refusal, her heart felt dark for a while, but on the surface she still listened to Jia Ke's teaching respectfully.

Finally, Jia Ke said she was tired, so she let Jia Zhi leave.

As soon as Jia Zhi left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the original respectful face disappeared, but turned livid.

It should be said that Jia Zhi has grown up a lot since he lost his mother.He thought very clearly about his future, which was to inherit Jia Ke's throne.

But he has no mother and no backer in the palace. The only thing that can give him an advantage in the battle for succession is to win Jia Ke's favor and enter the army to gain prestige.

Who would have thought that this time I personally went to my father's place to beg, but was directly rejected by my father.
