Chapter 238: Matchlock Gun

"His Excellency Zhengliang. (.) I was once the captain of the Spanish Musketeers, and I have a deep understanding of the Musketeers' tactics." Seeing that Zhengliang was a little hesitant, Ander immediately promoted himself.

"Oh? What is the tactics of the musket team?" Zhengliang, who came from later generations, has heard many tactic theories, but after all, the theory is not as realistic as it is. Zhengliang now wants to listen to Ander's tactics of muskets.

Ander knew that Masayoshi was exploring his strength, so he immediately straightened his body and said, "I call this tactic a Dutch wheeled shè shè strike. It means dividing the soldiers into several groups, and performing shè strikes from left to right in groups. The trained soldiers can be able to fill the first group when the last group is finished, ensuring that the shè strikes are continuous and have great lethality. They are the nemesis of the cavalry."

"Oh?" Zhengliang became interested, especially when he heard the other party say that this kind of tactic is very lethal to the cavalry, he became even more interested. At this time, Daming, who has strong strength, has the main combat power of cavalry. If he mastered such a cavalry nemesis tactic, it would be extremely beneficial.

"How is this different from placing shè?" While interested, Masara also remembered the three-stage strike created by the Demon King after ri. Strictly speaking, the three-stage strike is also a type of placing shè, which is different from the wheel shè that Ander just mentioned.

"The row mainly means that after the first row, kneeling down and loading, then the second row starts to attack, and the third row is preparing to rotate, but the fourth row will not fire the gun in the future. The row is to fire from the left to the friend or even dozens of people, which can ensure that the first five rows can fire. The Spanish musket team has basically given up." Ander replied.

It seems that the Western platoon is different from the Demon Emperor's three-stage strike. If you have time after ri, Ander will also study it and combine the advantages of these tactics at that time. In this way, once the Ro family's musket team joins the battlefield, it will definitely play a great role.

By this time, Zhengliang had actually decided to hire Ander. Of course, before hiring, there were some things that needed to be determined.

"Andell, what kind of musket are you using at the moment?" Zhengliang continued to ask.

"Sir, the most advanced thing now is the match rope gun," Ander replied.

Is this true? Zhengliang said silently after hearing this. The mesh gun was made by Europeans in the 15th century. This kind of mesh gun was mainly equipped with sightseeing sights and doors on the barrel, and used a fuse to ignite and fire. It was not until the first time it was exposed to this kind of mesh gun for more than two years. Then it was improved and it was named Iron Cannon.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty should have seized the coercion brought by some Europeans. Unfortunately, these coercion guns, which were similar to the current turret prepared by the Ming Dynasty, did not attract their excessive attention. It was not until later that the European pirates and Japanese pirates became more serious in disturbing the Ming Dynasty, and they obtained the improved version of the coercion gun again. They began to pay attention to this weapon, and thus invented more advanced bird stylings, even a series of other muskets.

Later, more advanced flintlock muskets appeared, marking the end of the era of mechanical ignition muskets.

It seems that it is necessary to set up a workshop for producing muskets as soon as possible. At the same time, he can also provide them with some manufacturing ideas from later generations. As for whether it can be manufactured occasionally, it is really not something he can consider.

"Andell, do you know how to make muskets?" Zhengliang said tentatively. Before the territory was not as large-scale musket teams, Ander could not be left idle there. From the perspective of people's efforts, Zhengliang was ready to treat him as an instructor and a craftsman.

"Your Excellency Zhengliang, I know a little about the manufacturing of muskets, but first of all, you need to provide a complete set of tools for European muskets to make muskets, so that you can make muskets." Ander said. He is indeed a jing firearm, especially muskets, but it will be a bit difficult to make muskets, at least in the absence of professional tools. Even with professional tools, he can only provide some manufacturing methods and experience, and he does not have any experience in making a complete process. Of course, in order to increase Zhengliang's confidence in hiring him, he still bit the bullet and said that he could make it.

"That's it!" Zhengliang nodded after hearing this. It seemed that he could only give some advice to the craftsmen at that time. At the same time, without a real musket team, he would be responsible for leading the upcoming pyrotechnic team. Anyway, as long as the formation is trained, once the muskets are equipped, he can go into battle.

"Your Excellency Zhengliang, I am very familiar with the use of artillery, but I only know the production process of artillery and don't know how to make artillery." Since Zhengliang will ask him about the production of muskets, he should also ask about artillery. After all, the power of artillery is much greater than that of muskets.

"Okay, I understand," Zhengliang nodded and said. Compared with the technology of muskets, the technology of artillery is even more advanced. At least before a real manufacturing craftsman is obtained, the idea of ​​independently manufacturing cannons can be temporarily put on hold. In the future, Zhengliang plans to take the method to temporarily find a way to buy a few cannons from the Southern Barbarians as a weapon to attack the city after ri.

"Andell, you have been officially hired by me, and your salary is 30 stones per year." Zhengliang finally decided to hire this former captain of the Spanish Musket Team. After all, Muskets will gradually become the main force in the Warring States Period. Although the foundation of the Luo family is still very thin, it is still necessary to make some preparations in advance.

"30 stones?" Ander looked at Zhengliang in confusion. He had no idea how many gold coins these 30 meant.

"Oh!" Masayoshi slapped his head, forgetting that the way these Europeans measure was completely different from that of Riben.

"In this way, I will give you 10 taels of gold every year for remuneration. If you have other special military achievements or contributions, you will be rewarded with some gold. What do you think?" Zhengliang said. According to the current conversion rate of the RI bank, one tael of gold is equivalent to four jin of copper coins. If these golds are taken to Europe, they will appreciate three to four times. For Ander, it is already a very good treatment.

"Gold?" As soon as he heard these two words, Andel's eyes instantly turned into gold, and his saliva almost flowed out.

These guys are indeed the Golden Worship Clan. Now they haven’t even seen the shadow of gold yet. Just knowing it, they are already like this. Seeing Ander’s expression, Zhengliang couldn’t help but think. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
