My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 114 Black Powder Completion

“Today, I will teach you your first training subject after becoming a recruit. First, you must learn to listen to the password and change your body shape, Laurie, Audrey, you Let’s learn together.”

Seeing the eyes of the guards gleaming, and the expressions on Laurie and Audley’s somewhat moved expressions, Gervais was satisfied and began the first training session of the afternoon. suject.

Gervais plans to train these recruits according to the method taught by the instructors in the previous military training. Although this world has the title of Knight, large-scale battles are also determined by these ordinary soldiers. In the age of cold weapons, The necessary factors for a strong army all the time are order and prohibition, and unified cooperation.

The soldiers under the aristocrats in this world are more like thugs. They don’t have the appearance of an army at all. At times, it was more like a group of hooligans fighting in groups, shuaa~ just rushing up.

Therefore, some minor nobles will always be minor nobles, because in addition to their limited military strength, they do not know that even dozens of people will be multiplied if they can consciously train and fight in formation. the battle strength.

Because of the large number of soldiers under their command, the great nobles consciously order their soldiers to fight in formation. Often it is the strength of these great nobles who are the main force on the battlefield and determine the outcome of the war. After the guards were recruited, they were actually pioneers. It was cannon fodder to say it was unpleasant. When the main forces on both sides met, the soldiers under the great nobles would fight.

As a modern man, Gervais deeply understands that a strong army must first learn to obey orders, and at the same time cultivate their awareness of unity and cooperation, so that they can fully integrate into a collective, so as to maximize their performance. the power of.

Next, Gervais first taught the guards to turn left and right, but what Gervais didn’t expect was that what he thought was the easiest one took him half a day, even if it was half a day. There are still many recruits who can’t tell the difference between the time of day.

In desperation, Gervais even asked them to hold a branch on the right hand to better distinguish left and right, but there were still people who turned wrong, and finally Gervais understood that there was no way to get these recruits to engage in one day. Clearly distinguishing between left and right, they usually simply do not have the awareness of left and right, so Gervais stopped today’s turning training, and turning training can only be mastered by time.

Next, Gervais started training the next subject and let them walk in unison. In this training subject, Gervais also encountered the same problems as before. Many recruits did not know the difference between left and right feet, often couldn’t keep up with the password, and walked inconsistently. It was messy, and Gervais tried to correct it over and over again, but still had little effect, which made Gervais deeply doubt whether the set on Earth was suitable for this other world.

Gervais didn’t know, except for himself who was worried, these recruits were also trembling in fear, they were taught by the fief lord, and they made mistakes in front of the fief lord over and over again, they were worried that they would not only miss out with the Guards , even if the fief lord gets angry, it is possible to directly kick them out of the guards.

After training for a while to walk in unison, Gervais saw that it was still early, and even taught him how to stand.

What made Gervais didn’t expect was that these recruits were not good in the first two subjects, but they performed very well in the final practice of standing posture. After Gervais corrected some wrong standing postures, all of them were With his head held high, he stood looking steadily forward, motionless, for half an hour without anyone shaking.

You must know that the afternoon sun is extremely strong. During the training of the previous subjects, they were also asked to drink water in the middle, but there was no rest time, which made Gervais amazed at their endurance.

When the sun went down, Gervais asked Laurie and Audrey to take a group of recruits to take a bath in a creek outside the castle. Now the leather armor and long sword are not ready, but the new linen shorts In the shirt castle, two sets were prepared for each person.

Although after an afternoon of training, when these new recruits got their new clothes, they all burst out laughing. The clothes they were wearing had been worn for several years, and they would be worn out. Make up, make it up and continue to wear it and continue to wear it. In order to prevent the clothes from being damaged too quickly, they even deliberately control the number of times they wash them. Anyway, if you wash them today, they will be dirty tomorrow, so this is the most common disease for civilians and serfs in this world. It’s a skin disease.

These recruits will be stationed in the wood house in the forecourt of the castle in the future. Cleanliness is a must. The wood house prepared for soldiers in the Viscount Castle can accommodate at least two hundred people, so Gervais does not need to worry about their Accommodation problem.

After returning to the castle and taking a nice bath, Gervais ran to the study to check and made sure that Betty and Wall-E were okay, and then took Anna’s little maid to the restaurant for dinner.

After dinner, Gervais ran to the mill non-stop and picked up three balls of black powder to check. After checking, Gervais determined that the three balls of black powder were all dry, so he immediately found tools and began to grind them. Groups of black powder are then screened.

In order to prevent static electricity from igniting the unfinished gunpowder, the tools Gervais used to make are all wooden, such as rolling pins, which he used as a roller.

He is just experimenting now. If he wants to manufacture in large quantities in the future, Gervais feels that it is necessary to make a grinder the size of a grinding disc, otherwise the efficiency of grinding gunpowder with a rolling pin is unbearable.

After crushing and sifting three different proportions of black powder, Gervais placed them in small wooden bowls, marking each bowl so that he could distinguish each one for himself. The ratio of black powder.

Now that all three types of gunpowder were finished, Gervais directly scooped a small spoon of all three types of gunpowder and placed them on the ground beside him, leaned down and ignited the three piles of black powder one after another.

In an instant, the entire mill was illuminated, but the burning process of the black powder was not long, and it was impossible to determine which mix of gunpowder was better after burning like this, so Gervais thought a little, it would be better to make a grenade directly , it is more intuitive to test it.

Just do what she said, looking at the black powder in the three wooden bowls, Gervais ordered to Anna.

“Anna, go and get the servant to get three small pots!”

The kitchen in the castle uses small pots, two fist sized, Gervais I guess it is just right. When he was a child in his previous life, he was a little expert in this area. He took out the small firecrackers and put them in the jar of the baby haha, and then sealed them with soil. Confidence.

“Yes, my lord!”

While Gervais was making black powder inside, Anna had been waiting outside. Hearing Gervais’s instructions, she immediately ran to the inner castle.

As soon as the little maid Anna left, Gervais began to make leads. Due to limited knowledge, he can only do the simplest one at present, which is what he would play when he was a child.

I saw that Gervais spread the pre-prepared paper on the wooden board and wet it, and then evenly sprinkled a small amount of black powder on it. After the paper was covered with powder powder, Gervais put the The paper with gunpowder is rolled into thin strips, and as long as the thin strips are dry, it is the most primordial and simplest lead.

Of course, since it is the most primordial and simplest, there are also some disadvantages, that is, it is afraid of water, and it burns faster, so for the sake of insurance, the length of each lead is reserved by Gervais at two meters. The above, otherwise the lead is too short, just like the long string of firecrackers, it starts to explode as soon as it is lit.

“My lord, is this the pot?”

Gervais stopped after he had made four leads. The servant came to the mill. The servant was holding two small clay pots and the other was in Anna’s hand. Anna handed the small clay pot to Gervais as she spoke.

“Very good, that’s the kind of pot!”

Gervais took the small pot and nodded it with satisfaction, and immediately began to fill it with black powder, almost to the bottle. When the mouth was opened, Gervais stopped, but because the lead was not dry, he could only seal the small pottery pot with paper strips to prevent it from getting wet, and the final sealing work could be done tomorrow.

(PS: The above are all nonsense, please do not imitate! It hurts!)

Thank you very much for the reward of “loyal man Cao Gong” and “Wish”! ! !

Is the plot a little slow? I’ll speed things up, I’m working on the countess now.
