Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

At noon on July 1, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao returned to the restaurant on the first floor of the lord's cabin after attending the autumn entrance ceremony of the sixth year of Tianxuan University in Yicheng University. While having lunch, he asked Xinping to meet Zhao Pan and Si Sylvia Ocean, the four of them are planning to go to the temporary firearms experiment site next to the Liandao lathe factory.

On the warship heading to Lian Dao, Zhao Pan asked with eyes that could not be opened: "My lord, I was busy last night. This morning, my subordinate finally found a room in Yiping Inn. I want to sleep. After a while, you will find your subordinates..."

Qu Mao glared at Zhao Pan and interrupted Zhao Pan's complaint.

Sylvia Ocean said indifferently: "The environment in the lord's hut is much better, and my subordinates have had enough sleep in the morning.

Sir, you asked the three of us to go to Liandao together, is it just to see Master Kong Ming? Master Kong Ming has been obsessed with firearms research recently, and rarely appears in the lord's hut. "

Xinping just stood quietly between Qu Mao, Zhao Pan and Sylvia Ocean, without saying anything.

Qu Mao said indifferently: "Let's go to Liandao to see the newly formed Musketeer team. Now the musket, artillery research and development, and the training of the Musketeer team are placed next to the Liandao lathe factory. I think it is a bit inappropriate.

One is that the research and development of muskets and artillery is very dangerous. Once an explosion occurs, it will affect the production of Liandao Lathe Factory.

The other is also the musketeer team training next to the Liandao lathe factory. I think the training place is not secret enough. "

Xinping sighed, and said, "My lord, I'm afraid there is no way to find you a place suitable for placing muskets, artillery research and development, and musketeer training in or around the Holy Land."

Zhao Pan stretched out his hands, rubbed his face vigorously, and said, "My lord, how do you feel that you have added 600 trainees to the newly formed Musketeers recently, making the number of Musketeers under training close to a thousand?" , that’s why you asked your subordinates and Sylvia Ocean to visit your new army?”

Qu Mao patted Zhao Pan's shoulder vigorously, and said: "Kong Ming's flintlock research has hit a bottleneck, and there is currently no substantial breakthrough, so the musketeer team's combat effectiveness has nothing to show off.

However, I will not reduce the size of the Musketeer Team, and will even expand it. I am also planning to form the Artillery Team immediately. Now that the battle of the Red Leaf Principality is over, the Army and the Garrison have a large number of outstanding soldiers. "

Sylvia Ocean said: "My lord, the modification of the artillery on the warship is continuing. With the artillery on the ship, our navy will attack the Anti-Yizhen Alliance with greater power."

The four of them were chatting and chatting on the warship heading to Lian Dao, while watching the scenery of the Holy Land of Yigong Territory along the way.

After the warship was moored at the North Port Wharf of Liandao, Zhao Pan immediately found four stage horses nearby, and one person and one horse rushed towards the firearms experiment site next to the Liandao Lathe Factory.

Arriving at the temporary firearms experiment site, Kong Ming was still immersed in the research of the flintlock, and had no intention of stopping the work at hand to receive the four of them.

Qu Mao didn't bother to bother Kong Ming, and took the three heroes straight to the musketeer training ground.

The fighters of the new musketeers were originally selected from the navy, army, garrison and imperial guards, so Zhao Pan blew his whistle, and in less than 5 minutes, 850 trained musketeers were assembled. Some people carried the original matchlock guns, and some people carried improved matchlock guns. Fortunately, one shot per person can now be done.

Under the command of the commander-in-chief of the new Musketeers, 850 trained Musketeers practiced the formation of the Musketeers and the classic shooting tactics to Qu Mao, Xinping, Zhao Pan and Sylvia Ocean.

With the improvement of paper-wrapped ammunition, whether it is a soldier carrying an original matchlock gun or a soldier carrying an improved version of a matchlock gun, they can shoot quickly without bombing or other accidents.

After watching the rehearsal of the Musketeers, Zhao Pan said to Qu Mao, "My lord, I don't know if it's because of the number of soldiers or the power of the weapons. This subordinate thinks that the power of your army is limited."

Sylvia Ocean also said: "My lord, if these fighters lie on the side of a warship and shoot outside, they will definitely be stronger than the second-tier ship shooters at close range, but they will definitely not be as powerful as the ship-mounted ballista. .

Therefore, the navy's application of firearms may be more on shipboard artillery. "

Qu Mao nodded, and said: "The power of the Musketeers still needs to rely on further improvement and optimization of weapons, but now the Musketeers use paper-wrapped bullets, so the attack frequency can reach three times a minute, which is already stronger than that of the archers. up.

In the future, firearms are a trend on the battlefield. When Zhao Pan fought the battle of the Red Leaf Principality to destroy the country, it was a trend to frequently use explosives to conquer strong cities and passes.

Therefore, we in the Yigong Territory need to increase the investment in the artillery team, and start to try to form an artillery team. The army will also make full use of movable artillery, provided that we reduce the weight of the artillery.

I have two new technologies that I want to discuss with Kong Ming. One is the technology that breaks through the range of the flintlock gun, and the other is the technology that reduces the weight of the artillery. After applying these two technologies, our musketeers and artillery teams will face weapons of replacement. "

Zhao Pan said: "My lord, our artillery team still exists in your plan and has not been actually formed."

Xinping said: "My lord, Su Buqing and Zhang Da are in Gandao, do you want to invite them to participate in the next discussion?

Lord Sophie is in the magic village, and muskets and artillery are somewhat incompatible with the magic army, so it doesn't matter if Lord Sophie is not invited. "

Qu Mao thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Go and inform.

By the way, tell Kong Ming that I have two new technologies that I can share with him, which can help him quickly break through the bottleneck he is currently encountering, and see if he is interested in participating in our discussion.

In addition, Xuande is in Jidao, and I don't know where Mo Yangqiao and Sirta Delta are, but I can notify them, as long as they don't need to come immediately.

It is past two o'clock now, and we will discuss around four o'clock. As long as we are in the Holy Land, I think there will be nearly two hours. Those who want to come and participate will definitely be able to catch up. "

Zhao Pan smiled and said, "They will definitely be able to arrive at such an important matter."

Sylvia Ocean also said: "As long as they want to come, they will definitely come. It's just that your lord specifically told Mo Yangqiao what to do here? It seems that Mo Yangqiao is not yet at the level to participate in this level of meetings."

Qu Mao waved his hand and didn't answer Sylvia Ocean's question, but just told Xinping to hurry up and inform him of the heroes he called.
