The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 81 Franz Machine Cannon (seeking tickets)

Black Lizard had a very good idea. While achieving his own goals, he also did not forget to please the Spaniards.

Although the Jumu tribe is Igrot, how different is the difference between Igrot and Pampanga?
The two sides have the same race, similar culture, and even more the same language!
The only difference between the two is that one lives in the mountains and the other lives on the plains.

Since the Pampanga people can make dogs for the Spaniards in exchange for better survival and development of the tribe, why can't they Iglots?
Therefore, Black Lizard didn't have much resistance to his tribe moving closer to the Spaniards.

The reason why they didn't move closer to the Spaniards before was not that they didn't want to, but that the Spaniards didn't want them.

The Spaniards have the Pampanga tribe as dogs, and they look down on these tribes that live in the mountains and are not easy to control.

But now that the Pampanga people are obviously not doing well in the war against the Chinese in the valley, isn't their chance coming?
Under the leadership of the giant wood tribe, several nearby tribes began to connect with each other and sent envoys to the Spanish camp in the direction of the river valley.

……

On the second day, the Liberation Army Camp!
Zhu Hongyu inspected the weapons workshop again, accompanied by old Liu Tou.

During the inspection, Zhu Hongyu proposed the idea of ​​developing the Franco cannon.

In this offensive and defensive battle, Zhu Hongyu realized that the rate of fire of the artillery needs to be improved.

In this case, being trapped by technical conditions and temporarily unable to improve the performance of the artillery, Zhu Hongyu thought of the Franc cannon.

That is, the rear-mounted cannon commonly used by the Ming army!
This kind of rear-loading gun, because it is imitated by the Portuguese, is called the Franc cannon.

And the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty improved on the basis of the Portuguese breech-loading gun, and the performance was even better.

That's right, I have already started using the breech-loading gun early in the morning, although the performance of this breech-loading gun is a bit stretched.

Due to the problem of air tightness, the range of the Franc machine gun is only 200 meters, which is not much farther than the musket, and basically it can only be used close to the face!
But he shoots fast.

If you don't consider the bearing capacity of its gun body and the risk of bombing, the rate of fire of the Franc cannon can be as high as five or six rounds per minute, or even more.

Explode all the artillery of this era!
Due to such characteristics, in artillery battles, the Fran cannon is naturally a tasteless one.

But also in field battles, in the city's offensive and defensive battles, the Fran cannon still has a certain degree of practicability by virtue of its rate of fire advantage.

For example, if Zhu Hongyu could put the Franco cannon on the fort of the bastion, there would be no need for many, one or two would be enough.

Then load all the subguns with shotguns!
With a rate of fire of five or six rounds per minute, would the Spaniards dare to attack the bastion?
Even if Zhu Hongyu didn't ask someone to set up iron chains to block the river in advance, it would be impossible for the Spanish fleet to pass the river and bypass the bastion under the threat of Franco's shells.

Old Liu said.

"General, it's not a problem to cast the Flang machine gun, I will do it, old man!"

"However, the membranes of the Frang machine guns are different from those of other cannons. If you want to cast the Fran machine guns, you need to re-create the membranes in the weapon workshop."

"need some time!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded.

"Try to speed up!"

"The Spaniards suffered a great loss. They fought fiercely for two days. They were killed and captured 800 people by our recovery army. They will definitely not let it go. They will make a comeback at some point."

Old Liu said.

"General, when the prisoners were exchanged last time, the Spaniards sent a lot of copper materials. Do we want to use copper materials to cast cannons?"

"Or continue to use iron to cast cannons?"

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, then spoke.

"Since there are copper materials, use copper materials!"

"Maximize the quality and service life of the artillery."

Old Liu bowed and agreed.

After inspecting the artillery workshop, Zhu Hongyu inspected the workshops of swords, plate armor, shields, thunderbolts, muskets...etc.

Seeing the busy work of the craftsmen, each piece of weapon being manufactured, Zhu Hongyu's expression relaxed a lot.

After the inspection was over, Zhu Hongyu ordered many craftsmen to be summoned, and began to distribute wages and rewards to the craftsmen in front of everyone.

According to the principle of pay for performance, more pay for more work!

After the wages were paid, Zhu Hongyu announced on the spot that he would give the craftsmen extra meals and reward them for working overtime for weapon manufacturing.

……

Unlike other armies of this era, the battalion of wounded soldiers in the Liberation Army was separate from the barracks of other soldiers.

After the wounded are injured, health workers will give first aid to the wounded on the battlefield, and then someone will transfer the wounded to a special wounded barracks for treatment.

The reason why Zhu Hongyu made such an arrangement is to allow the wounded soldiers to have a good recuperation environment and better recuperate.

The second is to prevent the screams and wailing of wounded soldiers from affecting the morale of the army in battle!

If an army is filled with the howling and screaming of wounded soldiers, the morale will definitely not be maintained.

Soldiers can't help but think, if he was injured today, who will it be tomorrow?
After thinking about it again and again, the morale of an army has just collapsed!

Listening to the hoarse wailing in the next ward, Wu Laoliu turned over and over again, baking pancakes on the hospital bed, and fell asleep no matter what.

When Wu Laoliu was defending the city, he was shot several times by the natives who were besieging the city.

Although they were all minor injuries, they didn't affect the battle, and even with these injuries on his body, he, who usually looked a bit simple and honest, looked quite brave, and the deterrence buff was directly full.

But the hygienist doesn't care about that!
Although Wu Laoliu was fine, his injuries still looked scary.

And because the strength of the Liberation Army is not tense now, there is no need to let the wounded continue to fight, even if they are lightly wounded.

Therefore, Wu Lao Liu was taken to the wounded barracks, the wound was disinfected with alcohol, and after a simple treatment and bandage, he was asked by the doctor to take a good rest.

But his injury was not serious, while the injury of the comrade in the next ward was actually serious.

He watched helplessly as the man was shot in the calf by lead bullets, blood and flesh flew all over the place, and even the bones were shattered.

After a simple hemostasis was done, the person was sent to the wounded barracks.

To save his life, his legs were amputated while he was still in a coma.

But even if this is the case, whether his life can be saved is still unknown!

After the person woke up, the screams and wailing didn't stop.

This era is not without anesthetics. Whether it is Mafeisan invented by Hua Tuo or the stinky pockmark soup used when castrating eunuchs, they all have the effect of anesthetics.

But the Restoration Army doesn't have any on hand now!
When performing surgery on the wounded, it is really done by holding the person down.

That scene is not much worse than that of a slaughterhouse!
And due to technical conditions, whether people can live after the operation is still unknown.

However, such a seriously wounded person who was hit by lead bullets in his limbs would definitely not be able to survive without amputation.

No matter how simple and crude the surgery performed by the Liberation Army is, it is better than waiting for death.

However, minor injuries like Wu Laoliu's are easy to deal with. First alcohol disinfection, then the wound is sutured and bandaged, pay attention to hygiene, and change dressings frequently.

That's about it!

As long as the doctor can stand the blood and fear, it's not too difficult.

…………
