Chapter 148

Zheng zining said to her, "according to the truth, Lord Liu doesn't seem like a person who will suffer losses. This time it's quite strange. It's not the first time that others seek your Liu family's position. You've kept it for decades, but it's strange. Why didn't your father keep it this time and he left directly?"

Liu Bu feels a little strange when he thinks about it. His father is a capable man. It is said that countless people thought of the Liu family in the past, but they were driven back by his father.

The Liu family has held this position for more than 60 years. Now why don't they suddenly play these old means? Even if they play these means, the other party is helpless. More importantly, the Liu family has a secret weapon of Liu Jiajun. If the other party dares to be hard, they can be harder.

This is Liu Bu's strange point. He was worried about it. He felt that his father had suffered such a great loss. He had to give him some comfort, but he thought again. His father is a man called eight faced Buddha. Can he suffer? At least he can take care of himself, so he thinks he doesn't have to worry about him.

This makes the mother worry when children travel thousands of miles, and the mother doesn't worry when children travel thousands of miles.

Liu Bu felt there was no need to worry about it. After that, he immediately went back to inspect his Jimo camp. He left here for more than a month.

Especially the last time he personally went to the capital and recruited a lot of craftsmen. These craftsmen are now in place and have begun to make things for him.

Now his craftsmen are mainly divided into four workshops.

1： Is responsible for making all kinds of cold weapons.

2： Is responsible for making muskets.

3： Responsible for building artillery.

4： Responsible for making armor.

The first workshop and the fourth workshop have begun to work, and they can build all kinds of products normally.

The second and third workshops are under commissioning. After all, what they build is the most advanced thing in the world. Liu Bu gives them enough time to adapt.

For example, Master Li of the fire gun workshop can independently build a fire gun. He is proficient in every detail and link, but his disciples really can't, so he recruited more than 30 disciples to come and divide his process into more than 30 processes. Everyone is responsible. Now he is responsible for teaching these people to build his distribution accessories respectively.

At present, there is no compression casting technology, so every part can only be made. Even if they are skilled, they can only make what they want after Master Li's training.

As for their artillery department, it is even more tall and basically represents the highest casting technology in the world. It is great that they can do this. In order to avoid suspicion, their artillery department is located in a mountain forest outside the city and built it secretly. Liu buta took Zheng zining and them to inspect here, It also means showing off.

This surprised Zheng zining. She said, "your scale is quite large."

Liu Bu said, "you must have your own production ability. You can't just buy everything. One day you take the money and the other party may not be willing to sell it to you."

Zheng zining said, "like us, the Zheng family also has its own fire gun and artillery workshop. If you don't understand anything, you can exchange what you need and ask for advice."

This news made Liu Bu very happy. He was worried about what to do if they encountered a bottleneck in the production process? They are the top masters in this industry. They don't know who to ask. Now, with familiar people doing it, they can ask each other for advice if they don't understand. Even directly invite technicians from each other for guidance, which will increase their speed and improve their technology.

Liu Bu said, "I'm relieved to have zining's words. I'm worried that our workshop here has invested so much capital that it can't produce in the end. It's terrible."

Zheng zining was speechless. She didn't notice when the goods called zining and which one was intimate.

Zheng zining said tentatively: "You have a team of more than 2000 people. Is it necessary to establish a special workshop? In fact, it can be purchased. Our Zheng family has trade relations with Dutch and Portuguese. As long as you can afford money, these Westerners will still sell to us, because Westerners are composed of several countries. If this country does not sell to you, others will sell to us Here you are“

Liu Bu said to him, "it's always better to do it yourself. It's the so-called saying that if everyone runs, the backer will fall."

Zheng zining said, "isn't Daming's army not advocating firearms now? It's said that Daming's firearms army is in Eastern Liaoning, but it's beaten by JianNu's riding and shooting army. It's said that the officers in Daming's army are very disgusted with firearms, and they all think that firearms are not as good as riding and shooting."

Liu Bu said: "The main reason is that people are so bad now. I think that emperor Chengzu's Shenji camp beat the Mongols, and Qi Jiguang's car camp beat the Mongols and female immortals, but why not now? That's because the current army is seriously corrupt. I've never heard that a corrupt army can win a war."

Zheng zining admitted this. She said: "The Portuguese and Dutch troops are basically using muskets now. Their muskets are more advanced and their firing speed is twice that of the Daming muskets. If they are matched with them, it is estimated that it will be difficult to deal with them. Moreover, they already have a muskets that can be fired without ignition. The Zheng family has obtained the model."

Liu Bu knew what she said about the fire gun that can be fired without ignition. It should be a flint gun. Unexpectedly, Westerners have been advanced to this point. Daming basically uses the fire rope gun to ignite.

Liu Bu asked happily, "can these be exchanged?"

Zheng zining looked at him and smiled. She said, "this is the treasure that the Zheng family managed to get. Only their own people can enjoy it." her smile always makes people feel cold and indifferent.

Liu Bu said immediately, "I understand. That's why I'm anxious to give this matter down. When you pass the door, you won't be an outsider."

What Liu Bu said was so explicit that Zheng Xining lit a red.

Liu Bu, after all, is an old hand in the wind and moon field. For rookies like Zheng zining, even if the other party is very smart, rookies are rookies, not his old slick opponent. They are a little unbearable in many aspects.

Liu Bu inspected his four workshops and saw that the current progress was satisfactory. He had an idea. At present, his 2000 army still focuses on the traditional cold weapon tactics, but after their firearms are mass produced, they will form a fire gun army, which is the third expansion of their Liu family army.

Moreover, Liu Buhe also has his plan. At present, the number of troops using cold weapons will only be maintained at 2000 at most, which is enough. If it exceeds 2000, he will form his musket army. They now have more than 300 Musketeers and are training day and night.

It is worth mentioning that his Musketeers were recruited temporarily, not one of the original 1000 soldiers, so if they recruit 1000 more, there should be more than 2300.

The physical requirements of the Musketeers they recruit are not as abnormal as those who use cold weapons, but the requirements are still quite high.

At present, the use of firearms is generally a combination of cold weapons and firearms. Liu Bu is also making this idea. He is thinking that after his firearms can be mass produced by himself, they will launch their firearms legion, and they will form a team similar to the Spanish firearms array.

Because at the current fire gun firing speed, even if they use three-stage firing and four-stage firing, they still can not form fire suppression. If they can not form fire suppression, they can only combine cold weapons and fire guns. If they use firearms alone, they will be defeated by the other party.

For example, the last time they met Zhang Yongxin's servants, these are just ordinary elite. Basically, they can break through their fire gun blockade. If they are more elite JianNu or have more people, they will certainly break through his blockade. Then they will kill into his array, so the best way is to use a more traditional formation.

Only when their firearm technology has been greatly improved and can form fire suppression can their army be fully firearm.

Liu Bu is inspecting the workshops in his Jimo camp and the armaments in the camp. He wants to see if anyone is lazy. It is certain that he is lazy. When he is away, Liu Yu has been hiding in aoshanwei to spend time and wine. He only comes back slowly after Liu Bu comes back. To see his illness, it should be to let women oppress him when Liu Bu is away It's drained. It looks like it can't walk in armor.

When Liu Bu saw that his cousin was wearing armor, he looked a little immobile. It was a shame to let him do it in the army. Now he is an official of hundreds of families. It's very bad to set an example.

If such a person is according to the standard, he is unqualified as a housekeeper, but he is also his cousin. If he directly kicks him out of the army, his face will not look good, so he said to Liu Yu, "I want to arrange you to do another job, depending on whether you can do it."

Liu Yu said in surprise, "Sir, you want to arrange another job for me. Don't I do well now?"

Liu Bu said angrily, "you're okay. Now you're doing well?"

Liu Yu was also very ashamed. He said, "I'm not expected to be a soldier."

In fact, when he said this, he didn't mean to belittle himself. These days, only ordinary people become soldiers. Famous good men don't become soldiers and good iron doesn't nail. To put it bluntly, only ordinary people who can't get along will become soldiers. It's actually a very cheap thing for a talented and powerful childe like him to let him become a soldier.
