Chapter 180 Finally created a seamless barrel! (fourth more)
Xiao Qi was so angry after hearing the news!
What the hell, I said that hundreds of years later, these guys will always say that this is theirs, that is their hometown, and it turned out to be the fault of you bastards!
But this kind of thing is not only in this era, even in Xiao Qi's previous life, there are endless occurrences in places controlled by the occupying army.
In the end, Xiao Qi had no choice but to make a rule, those women who were pregnant with the soldiers of the Song Dynasty could marry them, but once they returned to the Song Dynasty with their children, these women could only be concubines for the soldiers.
Xiao Qi thinks this is very strict, there must be many women who don't want to be concubines.
Who knew he was so wrong this time!
When the women on the peninsula heard the news, Wu Yangyang jumped at the soldiers of the Changsheng camp. In their opinion, being concubines for the soldiers of the Song Dynasty was better than marrying a local and being their regular wives here. hundred times.
Xiao Qi was shocked when he heard the news!
What the hell, how could I forget the coquettishness of these people who are attached to the strong in their bones!
However, the original military order has already been issued. As the leader of the army, it is most inadvisable to change the order overnight.
After thinking about it for two days, Xiao Qi finally came up with a way to rectify military discipline to stop the anger of the gang of underlings.
He ordered again that each soldier could only find one concubine in the peninsula, who frankly didn't know what his surname was, and was caught doing things here and there, at least [-] army sticks.
Now it's all right, after this military order, Xiao Qi knew how much the gang under him had become so turbulent!
From the first day this military order was issued, the sound of boards being beaten in the barracks has never stopped. If you walk around the barracks the next day if you have nothing to do, you will find that there are not many people in the barracks who do not walk with a limp!
Xiao Qi was so angry that he spent half a month running around all the big camps in the Changsheng camp, summoning these gangsters and yelling at him: "What the hell, I brought you here!" This is for fighting, not for you to be pig breeders!"
Most of these gangsters are honest, but they will still be picked out every now and then, and a few of them will show up in the sky, and they will be punished in the camp.
Xiao Qi is really speechless, it really won't work if you really want to deal with it ruthlessly, people's thinking in this era is like this, and people can't be convicted of a felony because of this incident.
Besides, these guys are all brave and fearless when they go to the battlefield, maybe they will die on the battlefield one day, even if the requirements are too harsh.
Xiao Qi had no choice but to set another military regulation, which probably meant that this place belonged to the entire Song Dynasty, and you will go to battle with the army in the future, and there will be other soldiers from the Changsheng Battalion.
It is enough for you to be one by one. There are so many disasters. Isn’t that the concubine of the Changsheng Battalion soldiers who came after the disaster?
In the future, who will be so vicious in his mind to drive him out of the Changsheng camp!
To say that these gangsters have no culture, although some of them are rough-skinned and not afraid of being punished, but no one is willing to bear the crime of harming their comrades-in-arms' future concubines.
In an instant, these guys became serious, and no matter how much the local women winked at them when they went out, these guys were all devoted to the Buddha, and they chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha Buddha, let you be weak for three thousand years, and the poor monk will only give you a piece of cake." Take a scoop."
After seeing that this method worked, Xiao Qi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
He was really afraid that when he returned to China in the future, 10 people came out, but the adults returned less than [-], and the little boy pulled back hundreds of thousands. He couldn't let people laugh himself to death!
What the hell is it called the Great Song Changsheng Battalion? Let's change the name to the Planter Brigade.
After tossing about this matter for about a month, Xiao Qi was able to concentrate on other things.
After such a long time, not only the large military port in the south has been built, but also the military port in Sinuiju in the north, and the military port of Niao Shi Island named by Xiao Qi.
The small islands that Xiao Qi marked on the chart as supplying fresh water on the route also had docks built and began to be used by garrison troops.
Now this side of the peninsula has really become the largest military base of the Song Dynasty Navy in the north, and it is the kind that sends concubines as soon as it comes.
As things here became more and more normal, Xiao Qi began to send naval scouts continuously, set up boats to explore the route to the east, record the mineral resources there, and prepare for the army's eastward advance in a few days.
However, another piece of news interrupted Xiao Qi's thought of attacking Dongpu immediately.
It's not bad news, but good news. For Xiao Qi, it's very good news that surprises him.
It turned out that Xiao Qi had always planned to make muskets, but due to technical reasons, he could not make seamless steel pipes. He had been experimenting with pouring methods, but the pouring was so thin that the many trachomas on them made those barrels unusable at all.
The pouring was thick, which made the thing too heavy, and the soldiers carried it too hard, and it was impossible to march normally.
This time it was a blacksmith brought by Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi was bored on the boat when he came, and told him about the problem of the musket barrel.
This blacksmith is a caring master and very smart. He was taught casting by Xiao Qi with a group of blacksmiths after signing a non-disclosure agreement.
From then on, this person admired Xiao Qi very much. Although he was over 35 years old, when he saw Xiao Qi who was in his twenties, he always performed the master-apprentice ceremony and regarded himself as an apprentice.
Because Xiao Qi had taught him the casting technique before, and Xiao Qi discussed with him on the boat for two consecutive days, the difficulties of gun barrel casting and the problems that need to be overcome.
This blacksmith has been researching how to forge gun barrels since he arrived on the peninsula. In addition, the coal and iron mines here have been mined. There are a lot of coal and iron for him to experiment with, and he really made it.
It turned out that he used the stupidest method. He first used forging to purify the iron blocks, and then made the city's most primitive steel ingots, then melted them and poured them.
Because such molten steel has very few impurities, although waste products such as trachoma may also appear, the success rate of casting qualified gun barrels has reached more than [-]%!
If the trachoma on the gun barrel is not serious, and if it is considered qualified after polishing, the success rate can reach more than [-]%!
When Xiao Qi got the news, he didn't have time to rest, so he took a boat overnight to the foundry in the north. When he saw that the barrels that were successfully cast were better than he expected, he really danced in surprise.
Xiao Qi immediately ordered that the blacksmith named Tao Ding be promoted to the sixth rank with the highest official position in the Great Song Foundry Bureau.
And ordered him to choose a blacksmith he was satisfied with to cast the gun barrel at will, but Xiao Qi told him a requirement, the final casting process of the gun barrel must not be spread to the outside world, even the blacksmiths in the foundry bureau of the Song Dynasty, the less they know, the better .
This Tao Ding has always regarded Xiao Qi as his master, so of course he took Xiao Qi's words very seriously.
He immediately summoned the dozen or so blacksmiths who had been experimenting with him before, and signed the strictest non-disclosure agreement that the whole family would be beheaded if anyone leaked any information.
Of course, the stricter the agreement, the higher the treatment. These people have jumped from being simple blacksmiths in the Foundry Bureau of the Song Dynasty to pillar talents with official positions above the eighth rank and enjoying the high-level treatment of the Foundry Bureau.
Tao Ding decided to lead these people to carry out the production of the final process of the gun barrel, and the other blacksmiths to purify the iron can be handed over to blacksmiths in other places. Even an apprentice blacksmith can do that stuff, as long as they have the strength.
In order to achieve the highest level of secrecy for the production of the gun barrel, Xiao Qi ordered heavy troops to raise the security here to the highest level.
The process of purifying steel ingots was handed over to blacksmith workshops farther away from here. Because the two sides are far apart, they would never know what the steel ingots made by them were used for.
Many blacksmiths thought that the Great Song Changsheng Battalion wanted to make the world's top armor, so they had to forge these steel ingots day and night.
And in order to improve efficiency, Xiao Qi also summoned many young men from the peninsula, and asked them to set up a huge blacksmithing workshop in a further place, and asked them to do preliminary purification there.
Those Song Dynasty craftsmen with a blacksmith foundation sent the iron ingots that had been preliminarily purified to them, and then the steel ingots that were purified to the Tao's requirements.
