"Try it!"
Zhang Zhun encouraged all craftsmen.
Hope is right in front of you, maybe you can succeed with just one more effort.
Of course, the Hu Ben gun that can only be shot ten times is not useless. At least, it is a very good choice to use it as a sniper rifle. At a distance of 100 meters, it is better than the Lumi gun. If it appears on the battlefield, it must scare the enemy. Moreover, after fifty consecutive shots, the Hu Ben gun did not explode, which is psychologically acceptable to the soldiers.
Therefore, after obtaining the test data, the craftsmen actively improved the production process and improved the quality of the barrel. At the same time, they produced sample guns in a planned manner and handed over to the guards for wider testing. The craftsman workshops successively produced more than ten pieces, all equipped with the escorts. According to Zhang Zhun's order, Yang Zixuan's musket team was specifically responsible for testing the Hu Ben gun, and feedback various problems in actual use to the craftsman workshops, and then improved them.
In order to solve the quality of the gun barrel as soon as possible, Zhang Zhun spent a lot of time to supervise the work in the marshal. In the morning, he supervised the soldiers to test the Hu Ben gun and obtain the test data. In the afternoon, he usually went to the marshal to discuss with everyone how to improve the quality of the Hu Ben gun and solve a lot of detailed problems that arise in the test. He went back to the military camp in the evening to summarize the work of the day. The life at these two points and one line lasted for a long time.
In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of craftsmen, Zhang Zhun also implemented a hierarchy system among craftsmen. The craftsmen's grades are also divided into nine levels, and they also implement binary system. Everyone creates the same component and uses the same technology. The better the quality of the craftsmen, the higher the basic wage. The higher the craftsmen, the higher the basic wage. For example, first-class craftsmen only have one tael of silver per month, second-class craftsmen have one tael of silver, and third-class craftsmen have two taels of silver... and so on, the highest-level craftsmen have five taels of silver per month. At the same time, the higher the craftsmen, the higher the commission share. Overall, it can definitely be considered a high salary.
After the assessment, Zhou Shiwen and Luo Dashan were indeed very skilled and eventually became sixth-class craftsmen. In addition to the two of them, there were five fifth-class craftsmen, and their technical level made Zhang Zhun more satisfied. As for the others, there was still room for further improvement.
At the same time, in order to enable the craftsmen to produce high-quality Tiger Ben guns faster, and also to keep them confidential in the future, Brigadier Zhang divided the craftsmen into thirteen groups, responsible for different processes. Each group has its own manager. Without Zhang Zhun's approval, craftsmen cannot easily change groups.
The first group, the rifling group.
Specially responsible for outlining the rifle on the cut steel sheets.
The second group, the barrel group.
Specially responsible for rolling the printed rifled steel sheet into a barrel.
The third group, the firing group.
Specialized in developing flint firing devices.
The fourth group, the carpentry group.
Specializes in the production of supporting stocks, handguards, push rods and other wooden components.
The fifth group, the star group.
Specializes in the production of supporting sightseeing and doors.
The sixth group, assembly group.
Specially assemble the barrel, firing device, door, sightseeing, butt stock, and handguard.
The seventh group, the inspection group.
Specially responsible for inspecting produced guns.
The eighth group, bayonet group.
Specially produces supporting bayonets for Huben.
The ninth group, the art team.
On the Hu Ben Gun that has passed the inspection, the numbers and patterns are drawn and modified.
Group 10, bullet group.
Specialized in producing Minnie bombs.
The eleventh group, gunpowder group.
Specially responsible for improving the purity of gunpowder, especially improving the purity of granular gunpowder.
The twelfth group, maintenance group.
Specialized in the production and maintenance of tools for guns, such as the strips of guns, the straps for guns, the skins for loading bullets, as well as butter, lubricating oil, etc.
The thirteenth group, feedback group.
Specially responsible for collecting various problems that arise in actual applications of the Hu Ben Gun and handing them over to relevant groups for improvement.
"Each person performs his duties and fulfills his responsibilities!"
This is what Zhang Zhun requests to all craftsmen.
Due to the detailed division of the process flow, each craftsman has a clear responsibility. If there is a problem with the Hu Ben Gun, it will be investigated in the relevant categories and then continue to be investigated in each specific producer. Therefore, Zhang Zhun required that every component producer must leave his own special mark on the component for future investigation.
In this way, all the craftsmen couldn't help but feel the heavy pressure on their shoulders. This pressure was never before. In the past, when they produced weapons, they just had to complete the specified quantity, and no one cared about the quality. Now, Zhang Zhun's regulations obviously mean that quality is more important than quantity.
However, while they were under great pressure, they also felt a huge temptation. Because Zhang Zhun had made it clear that for each production of a qualified Tiger Ben gun, the craftsman workshop would receive a commission of four taels of silver. After this distribution, if a Tiger Ben gun was produced, each craftsman could receive a reward of almost two cents of silver (0.02 taels). If the craftsman workshop could produce fifty Tiger Ben guns a month, each craftsman would have a reward of one tael of silver.
In other words, as long as all the craftsmen work together to overcome technical difficulties and create tiger bells that meet quality requirements, they will never have to worry about their lives in this life. The guards will definitely have more and more demands for tiger bells. Even the lives of these craftsmen can be better than farming. As their technology continues to be proficient, their production efficiency will become higher and higher.
Stimulated by huge profits, the workers of the craft workshop conducted research day and night, and tried their best to improve every detail of the process. Zhang Zhun spent most of his time in the craft workshop. Finally, after more than ten days, on the sixth day of June, the accurate number of shots of the Hu Ben Gun barrel finally reached more than fifty times, which could meet the most basic needs.
After repeated tests, the maximum range of these Hu Ben guns exceeded 400 meters. Within a distance of 250 meters, the shooting accuracy is very considerable. The firing rate is also satisfactory. The newbies can basically shoot about 3 rounds in one minute. A trained musketeer can reach about 5 rounds in one minute. An excellent shooter may even reach 6 rounds in one minute.
The appearance of the Hu Ben Gun is also quite beautiful. The dark red butt stock and guardrail, the silver-white barrel, the silver-white bayonet, the silver-white bolt, and the dark green straps reflect each other and shine brightly. When the real Hu Ben Gun fell into Zhang Zhun's hands for the first time, a sharp weapon was in my hand. The feeling that I had in the world came naturally. In front of the Hu Ben Gun, the Thunder Gun, the Ten-Eyed Gun, and the Bird Gun were all scumbags!
The bullets of the Huben Gun are packaged in paper shells. The paper shell contains one bullet and 3 coins for firing medicine (about 10 grams). During the battle, bite the paper shell, pour the fire medicine into the gunpowder pool, and close the gunpowder pool. Then use the bullet push rod to push the conical bullet into the chamber. You can aim and shoot. Each Huben Gun is equipped with fifty paper shell bullets and replenish it after use. All paper shell bullets are loaded in a leather bag. Of course, if the soldier feels that he has enough physical strength, he can carry more paper shell bullets.
Zhang Zhun immediately ordered the craftsman workshop to do its best to produce the Hu Ben guns, and then all equipped to the guards. Yang Zixuan's musket team was naturally the first to equip the target. As for the original firearms, they were all rebuilt, including the Lumi gun. However, at this time, another regrettable thing happened, which was the insufficient production capacity. Due to various reasons such as raw materials, manpower, tools, and technology, the craftsman workshop could only produce up to five Hu Ben guns every day. If you want to increase the production capacity, you will not build another craftsman workshop.
Fortunately, the response speed of the officers and soldiers was indeed very slow. It has been more than twenty days since Zhang Zhun and his friends took Fushan City. Aoshan Guard and Laizhou Prefecture are still gathering forces intermittently. The information found by the mouse was Li Chengdong, the Laizhou Guardian Sun Zhixue, and the Aoshan Guard commander Zhao Yinying, and the meeting at Laizhou Prefecture at the end of May should be discussed how to deal with the rebellion in Fushan Prefecture.
After the three discussed, Li Chengdong mobilized 300 soldiers to enter Jimo Camp. Zhao Yinying also ordered his servants to go out and meet with Li Chengdong at Jimo Camp. There were about 150 people. Together, the total strength of the two was about 450.
However, I don’t know if I think Zhang Zhun and his team were just making small fuss in the Fushan Institute and did not affect them. They had no intention of intervening for the time being. The officers and soldiers stationed in Jimo Camp did not immediately advance to Fushan City. Zhang Zhun inferred that the officers and soldiers might be waiting for more troops to gather. Because the intelligence network was not yet developed enough, Zhang Zhun could not infer where the officers and soldiers would draw troops from and when will they launch an attack.
The only thing that is certain is that the officers and soldiers will definitely counterattack Fushan City, and it should be June. Moreover, the attacking force of the officers and soldiers must be more than 450. As for how many people will be dispatched, it is still unknown. With the gathering of officers and soldiers, the atmosphere in Fushan District began to become a bit solemn. Most people can feel that the first test is coming.
Before we knew it, it was mid-June and the weather became very hot. Every morning, the sun was hot in the air, scorching the earth to the fullest. The sea breeze had disappeared without a trace since when. There was no wind, only the sun, so it was naturally extremely hot. Everyone who worked was sweating and panting.
In the training ground of Fushan City, the soldiers of the guards were also sweating like rain. The soldiers of the guards were undergoing intense training. The Hu Ben Gun, who had been formally trained for the first time, became the most dazzling star on the training ground. The beautiful appearance, outstanding performance, and strong lethality made all the soldiers feel very envious. The resistance to muskets had completely disappeared without realizing it.
Unfortunately, the craftsman workshop can only produce five tiger guns every day. If the entire guard is equipped, it will take at least 80 days. With the maintenance time, it will take at least three months before the guards can all have tiger guns. Before this, everyone must continue to use spears and triangular pricks. In fact, even if the Hu Ben gun is equipped, Zhang Zhun pays great attention to assassination training.
Courage and discipline are always indispensable, even if they are equipped with powerful muskets.
Zhang Zhun also led the soldiers to train on the training ground. Speaking of the use of firearms, no one should be more proficient in this era than him. Generally, Zhang Zhun personally demonstrates, explains the key points of aiming, and then leads everyone to train. The main content of Yang Zixuan's team's current training is three-stage shooting, which is already of considerable level.
On the tenth day of June, Zhang Zhun was in the training ground to teach the soldiers the aiming skills. He adopted a half-squat posture. Suddenly someone came and reported to Zhang Zhun: "Sir, Miss Yang invites you back, saying that a guest is coming."
Zhang Zhun stood up and asked casually: "What guest?"
The other party said he didn't know, but Yang Yinghan didn't say it.
Zhang Zhun couldn't help but frowned.
guest?
What guest?
Since Yang Yinghan sent someone to find her, not Liu Hang and others, she must be a private guest.
Who is this guest?
