assembly line?
Lu Jingxuan was stunned. What was that thing?
Pei Yun did not explain and turned to leave. Lu Jingxuan asked the craftsmen to stop, and then according to Pei Yun's request, put similar items together and arranged them into different categories.
Although the craftsmen didn't understand why they had to do this, since Lu Jingxuan had spoken, they could only obey.
Pei Yun returned to his room and checked the assembly line online.
In the end, I spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy an assembly line, and the goods will arrive tomorrow.
It took him almost three months to go to Anding City, including the time he spent defending the city, and he only made 10 muskets, which was actually quite good.
After all, this is the first time these craftsmen are making this thing.
But Pei Yun felt that it was not fast enough. What he needed was to produce a large number of muskets in a short period of time, at least one for each person in the Qianhu Office.
the next day.
Pei Yun went to the musket workshop again, took out the assembly line, plugged in the power, and the conveyor belt started to turn.
"My Lord, is this the assembly line you mentioned?"
Lu Jingxuan looked curious.
Pei Yun nodded: "Not bad."
"There is a sequence to making anything. For example, making a musket can be broken down into 36 steps. From polishing the barrel to carving the wooden butt, each craftsman only needs to specialize in one step."
Pei Yun was demonstrating as he spoke, and craftsmen came to watch. After they understood what the assembly line was and how it operated, the craftsmen still didn't feel anything.
But Lu Jingxuan already understood the logic behind this. One person only does one process, and when finished, the process is placed on the conveyor belt and transferred to the next process.
In this way, not only can efficiency be improved, but the steps will also be correct.
I couldn't help but admire Pei Yun. Moreover, not only can the musket be done in this way, but other handicrafts can be done as well. This is a huge progress.
"My lord is very talented. Jingxuan admires him."
Lu Jingxuan bowed to Pei Yun.
Pei Yun smiled and said, "Since you already know the situation and are familiar with these craftsmen, you can make the arrangements."
After saying this, Pei Yun stretched out a finger.
"Half a year, half a year to make 1,000 muskets."
Lu Jingxuan swallowed his saliva. 1,000 in half a year, this is very difficult.
"I believe they can do it. These craftsmen are equally skilled. As long as they speed up, they should be able to accomplish more than the goal I set."
Lu Jingxuan nodded. Since Pei Yun had set the goal, he had to achieve it even if he had to go without food or drink.
Pei Yun then went to the shooting range, gathered all the archers, and taught them how to use muskets.
Including the musket made earlier, Qianhu now has 11 muskets.
Pei Yun found 11 people, gave them muskets, taught them how to load bullets, how to fire, and how to clean the barrel with a cleaning rod, and then asked them to divide into two rows.
There are 5 people in the first row and 6 people in the second row.
Bang bang bang!
After the five men in the first row fired, they quickly retreated, cleaned the gun barrels, and reloaded the bullets, while the gunners in the second row stepped forward, aimed their guns, fired, and then retreated.
At the beginning, the 11 people were still a little flustered, but it got better as they became more proficient. Pei Yun used a stopwatch to record the time from the first row of gunmen firing to the second firing, frowning slightly.
The interval between the two rows of musketeers taking turns firing was 25 seconds, which was too slow. This time could be shortened after becoming proficient, but the cavalry charged too fast, and 25 seconds was enough for the cavalry to charge over.
It seems that we need to arrange several more rows of gunners to deal with cavalry charges.
…
Yuzhou.
With Mu Xiong's arrival, Jing Dynasty's army was greatly encouraged. With a great general in command, they would definitely be able to repel Northern Yan's attack.
Inside the central army tent, the prince sat in the commander-in-chief's position. This time he came to supervise the battle again. Mu Xiong sat next to him, and below him were a group of generals.
Crown Prince Xiao Yu smiled and said, "With General Mu here, this battle is secure."
The other generals also smiled. Mu Xiong asked, "Prince, what is the current situation? Why did the Northern Yan attack take so long this time?"
Xiao Yu sighed, "This time, Northern Yan, Northern Qi, and Northern Wei all came together to attack, with a total of 600,000 troops. If it weren't for the soldiers fighting to the death, Yuzhou might not have been able to hold on."
Mu Xiong was shocked when he heard this. No wonder the court had not been able to spare anyone to support him. It turned out that this time it was not just Northern Yan.
"Beiyan should be launching another attack. General Mu, I'll leave the command to you."
Mu Xiong nodded, walked to the sand table, and looked at both camps with full confidence.
He was a great general of the Jing Dynasty. He had fought in battles for decades and had fought against several regimes of the Northern Hu. Before, he was forced by the Northern Liang to just defend the city, and there was nothing he could do about it.
He only has tens of thousands of soldiers. How can he compete with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Northern Liang? No matter how powerful he is, it will be useless without soldiers.
But now it’s different. The Jing Dynasty’s army is here, with strong soldiers and horses and sufficient food and grass. There is no need to passively defend, and we can take the initiative to attack.
Soon a set of tactics appeared in his mind. Mu Xiong gave the orders and the generals who were named took the orders and left. Soon, only he and the prince were left in the tent.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "As expected of a great general, your ability to plan and strategize is unmatched."
Mu Xiong waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, I am too kind. I have fought more battles and have some experience."
"General, why should you be so modest? With you here, our Jing Dynasty can be as solid as a rock. If it weren't for the general's full efforts to defend Anding City, the court could concentrate its forces to deal with Beiyan."
"Otherwise, it will be more difficult for us to fight on both sides."
At this point, Xiao Yu paused and said, "General, you blocked hundreds of thousands of Beiliang troops with a single city. This kind of record is rare."
Mu Xiong shook his head. "This is not my credit, but Pei Yun's. If Pei Yun hadn't come to support us, I'm afraid the city would have been breached."
"Pei Yun?!"
Xiao Yu was stunned. He heard from Cao Rui that Pei Yun only brought 1,000 people with him. Could this save Anding City?
"General Mu, as far as I know, Pei Yun only has 1,000 people. How can he stop Beiliang's attack?"
Mu Xiong laughed and said, "Your Highness, you may not know that although Pei Yun only has 1,000 men, each of them can fight ten enemies at once, and the equipment they carry is also very special..."
Mu Xiong talked about the explosion-proof suits, Molotov cocktails, and clay pot bombs, and how they attacked the barbarian camp at night, but he did not mention that Pei Yun could carry food.
The main reason is that this thing is too unbelievable. If you don’t experience it yourself, it’s hard to believe.
Xiao Yu was amazed to hear that Pei Yun's 1,000 men actually had the effect of tens of thousands of people. He also keenly caught the key word in Mu Xiong's words - equipment.
It is precisely because of their good equipment that they were able to defeat Beiliang with ease.
This made Xiao Yu think. If he had such good equipment, wouldn't his strength increase greatly? Pei Yun was his son-in-law. Although he had not admitted it, he could admit it now.
I think my son-in-law should have no objection to handing over his equipment.
