Gao Wu Da Xia: The fox demon lady at the beginning

Chapter 65 New Musket
In the past, the matchlock gun could break through iron armor in sixty steps, but now the distance was increased by twenty steps.

These twenty steps meant that when fighting the Wu cavalry, the musketeers could fire one more round.

When facing the Wu Clan infantry, there may even be two more rounds of volley fire.

The distance of these twenty steps is critical and can even determine the outcome of a battle.

And this improvement shows that Liu San and the others have a very high level of research on matchlock guns. They are likely to improve it again next time and create a musket that can break iron armor at 100 steps, and even a musket that can break iron armor at 200 steps in the future.

Han Chufan knew how powerful muskets were in his previous life, which directly ended the era when cavalry was king.

Those backward peoples trembled under the sharp muskets and artillery of the Western powers.

Han Chufan and Liu San returned to the weapons manufacturing room of Ping'an Fort, and Liu San showed him the new musket.

"Sir, a new type of gunpowder was used this time, and the barrel has been improved. The barrel has become longer and thinner, allowing the projectile to hit farther."

Liu San showed their achievements.

With a bang, the armor eighty steps away was indeed penetrated by the new musket.

"Okay, Liu San, you did a good job, I will reward you heavily." Han Chufan said happily.

"Thank you, sir. Actually, it is not my fault that I can create a new type of musket this time. This new type of musket and gunpowder were all designed by others." Liu San said.

"Oh? Who has such talent?" Han Chufan asked in surprise.

"She is my little daughter. She has been interested in muskets since she was a child. Her talent in making muskets far exceeds mine. The new muskets this time were all designed by her. Cui'er, why don't you come over to see Master Han."

Liu Cui nervously walked to the crowd and quickly saluted, "Liu Cui, daughter of the people, pays homage to Mr. Han."

"I remember your name is Liu Cui, right? I haven't seen you for a year, and you look even more graceful. I didn't expect that a girl could be a genius in developing muskets. It's really surprising."

Liu Cui didn't expect that Master Han, whom she admired the most, would still remember her name, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Han. Folk girls have only liked these firearms since they were young. It is good luck to be able to make a new type of musket this time."

Han Chufan waved his hand, "Don't be modest, there is never luck for no reason in this world. If you can make a new type of musket, it proves that your talent in this area is higher than anyone else in Ping Anbao.

You all deserve credit for the development of a new type of musket this time.Liu Cui will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, Liu San will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and everyone else who participates will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver. "

"Thank you, sir." Everyone said excitedly.Even 20 taels of silver is still a very high income.

The craftsmen responsible for making armor and spears watched with envy as they received their silver rewards.

"In addition, Liu Cui was promoted to captain of the manufacturing department, with a salary equivalent to that of a commander, an annual salary of 50 taels, and will be responsible for the research and development of new muskets.

Liu Cui, you perform well and create better muskets for our new army in the future. I am very optimistic about you. Han Chufan said with a smile.

Liu Cui suddenly blushed and stammered: "Master Han, I am just a woman, can I hold the position of captain of the manufacturing department?"

"Why not? There are many heroes among women in history, and they are all heroes who are equal to men. Under my command, talented people can be promoted, regardless of their origins, regardless of their gender."

"Thank you, sir. I will work hard and live up to your love."

Liu Cui said excitedly that it was a great honor for her to be recognized by Mr. Han, and it was more important than money and official position.

Han Chufan nodded with a smile.

Then he called Liu San over, "The new musket will become our most important weapon, and we must ensure confidentiality and safety.

In the future, the craftsmen who make muskets will be separated from the weapons manufacturing room and moved to a hidden place, and there will be troops on duty outside.Their families also moved to live nearby to prevent them from escaping and leaking secrets.In addition, everyone's salary was doubled, but they were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

All musket manufacturing processes and techniques must be kept secret in the strictest manner. Anyone who dares to leak secrets will be dealt with according to military law and killed without mercy. "Han Chufan said seriously.

As the strength of Han Chufan's army increases, I believe that many forces will be covetous of his new muskets.

It is inevitable that some of these craftsmen who make new muskets will have their own ideas. If the manufacturing process and technology of the new muskets are leaked, it will be a big trouble.

Han Chufan will supervise the manufacturing team of the new muskets in the strictest way. If anyone is found to have leaked secrets, he will definitely be sentenced to death to serve as a warning to others.

Liu San nodded. He also believed that Master Han's move was necessary. The emergence of new muskets and future improvements will definitely become a weapon that transcends this era, so confidentiality work becomes even more important.

"Don't worry, Mr. Han, my subordinates will definitely handle this matter well."

After Han Chufan finished his instructions, he planned to go home. He has been busy in Qingxiangzhou City for the past month and has not been home for a long time.

And tonight is the night of the full moon, haha, there may be a surprise. The cute little fox demon has not been online for a long time. Master Han misses her very much.

Han Chufan returned home and found the little fox quietly reading a book.

In this year, under the superior living conditions, Liu Xiaoyu became more beautiful and charming.

Han Chufan quietly walked behind her and covered her eyes with his hands.

"Guess who I am."

"The big bad wolf is home, hee hee." Liu Xiaoyu said happily. During this period, she missed her husband-in-law very much. She knew that her husband-in-law was too busy now and had no time to go home to see her.

"Uh? Big bad wolf? What the hell." Han Chufan let go of his hand and asked.

"Brother forgot to tell me the story of the big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood? Isn't my brother the big bad wolf? He wants to eat me every time, hehe." Liu Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and said.

"Um, do you want to be eaten by the big bad wolf?" Han Chufan asked with a smile.

"My brother is bad. He always troubles others."

"Madam, night is coming and it's time for us to have a rest. Your husband-in-law misses you so much."

Han Chufan picked up Liu Xiaoyu and closed the curtain.

Master Han guessed it correctly, and after some intimacy, the little fox demon came online smoothly.

The excited Master Han instantly became more powerful.

The boat floated gently in the water, and the cool wind blew in the face. Master Han remembered a children's song from his childhood in his previous life.

The boat rocked and rocked, and Master Han rowed and rowed, working tirelessly.

Early the next morning, Mr. Han, who had worked overtime and stayed up all night, was still in high spirits.

The poor little fox demon was very tired.

Han Chufan hugged Liu Xiaoyu and said, "Does my wife miss me?"

Liu Xiaoyu turned over, touched her leg that was still hurting, and said, "I miss my brother very much, but my brother is really a big villain. Once he comes back, he will abuse him like this."

"Haha, how can this not be abuse? This is obviously love."
