Qiming 1158

Chapter 288 He really admires this man
Standing on the boat and looking at the sea, Su Yonglin was full of thoughts.

At this moment, the old guys around him were also full of emotion.

Su Yong, Su Haisheng and others boarded the ship together, looking at the vast sea, telling the glorious years of that year.

"The first time I killed a man was on this boat. I shot a bastard in the Wang family's fleet with one arrow. At that time, the bastard and I were shooting at each other, and a wave hit me. I didn't stand firm, and he didn't stand either. stable.

Maybe it was God's blessing. My arrow shot him to death, and his arrow rubbed my scalp and flew past, scaring me and almost urinating. "

"Short nonsense, you just pissed. I was standing beside you at that time. You fell on the deck and shivered, and the pee came out, hahahaha! I still remember that now!"

"Fart! No! I have never urinated!"

"You just pissed! I remember! I really saw it!"

Su Yong and Su Haisheng quarreled directly on the boat, while the others watched jokes and fanned the flames, looking forward to seeing the two fight.

When they are not in the barracks or on the battlefield, they are always rude and rude. Everyone is full of bad water, and they want to make the other party suffer, and they gloat at the misfortune.

Su Yonglin also rarely relaxed. Looking at Xin Qiji standing beside him, he asked jokingly, "You'an, how do you feel when you, the son of a scholarly family, get along with a group of rude smugglers?"

Knowing that Su Yonglin was joking, Xin Qiji laughed.

"Su Shuai is joking, whether it is a private salt dealer or a scholarly family, aren't they all comrades in arms now? It doesn't matter how you come from, what matters is whether you are like-minded and can come together and fight side by side, this is the most important thing. ."

"well said."

Su Yonglin patted Xin Qiji's shoulder and said with a smile, "I can't change my background, but what kind of path I take is something I can decide for myself.

So what kind of road you take and what kind of things you do are all up to you. If you are looking for friends, you must look for them from this angle. Looking for like-minded people, not only friends, but also comrades. "

"Comrade...comrade..."

Xin Qiji looked at the endless sea and was very emotional.

"A year ago, my subordinates would never have imagined that they would be today. The knowledge that Su Shuai has taught them is far more meaningful than the knowledge that subordinates get from books. Now I can really feel that I am heading towards Going in that direction is quite exciting.”

"This is a difficult road. No one has ever walked through it, and no one has ever mentioned it. I don't know if it can be successful. Compared with the four steps of self-cultivation, balancing the family, governing the country and the world, men are more men."

Su Yonglin shook his head and sighed: "Even if it's me, I don't know if I can succeed, I'm not sure at all, I just feel that when I look around and see no hope, I won't change anything if I don't do this.

So although I know that it is difficult to succeed and there is no precedent, if I admit defeat without working hard, I will treat it as impossible, and I cannot do it. "

"Su Shuai..."

Xin Qiji knew what Su Yonglin was talking about.

"The path I propose, the path I envision, the path I choose, no matter what others think, I will definitely go on it until I die, and I will never stop."

Su Yonglin looked at Xin Qiji and said with a smile: "If the sky blocks me, I will fight it to the end, if the earth blocks me, I will also fight with it to the end, and if people block me, I will fight with them to the end, life will not stop, fight nonstop."

Xin Qiji suddenly didn't know what language he should use to describe the man in front of him.

But there is no doubt that he really admires this man.

After the 26 large ships were put in place, the corps navy had a prototype, and the first batch of 2000 sailors were also in place, and the formal drills also started.

Individual equipment and large-scale equipment used in various water battles were also transported to the ship for testing.

At this time, the water battle was actually not out of the scope of the jumping gang battle. There were some long-range attack weapons, and some fire attack ordnance was also equipped, but it was not the mainstream.

After getting close to each other, collisions and jumping gangs are still the main means of killing each other, and it is the mainstream of water warfare.

There are very few large-scale ordnance that can be placed on the ship for long-range strikes, and there is no shadow of artillery.

But at this time, Su Yonglin began to realize the significance of artillery for water warfare.

Solid bullets that don't explode are not really useful against moving infantry, cavalry, and thick city walls. It depends more on luck, but it's different when used in water battles.

As long as the solid bullet hits, the wooden ship has no resistance. Concentrated fire bombardment can even directly sink and smash the ship. Even if the sailors on the ship are not killed, they will also be drowned.

The lethality of the navy equipped with artillery to the navy without artillery is simply incomprehensible.

There is a high probability that it will be useless, too late, and even more unnecessary to deal with Jin Guo. As far as the amateur level of Jin Guo's navy is concerned, the private salt dealers in the Southern Song Dynasty can take care of them obediently.

However, in the future, to deal with the powerful and professional navy of the Southern Song Dynasty, Su Yonglin's navy who is not so experienced may be more difficult. It is very difficult to annihilate the Southern Song navy in one fell swoop by relying on numbers and jumping gangs alone.

But if artillery can be equipped, the situation will be completely different, and it will not be impossible to destroy the main force of the Southern Song Dynasty in World War I.

Losing the main force of the navy, the Southern Song Dynasty lost a layer of reliable firewall.

Su Yonglin had full confidence in the Southern Song Dynasty troops who were very stretched in the Ueno battles, and could blow their heads off with the elite troops brought out by himself.

In this light, it is time for research on gunpowder-fired artillery.

It just so happened that the rough granulated gunpowder technology is almost proficient. Compared with the original powder or paste gunpowder, the granulated gunpowder undoubtedly has a stronger explosive power.

Based on this, it is also appropriate to study tubular firearms.

Moreover, during this period, through the occupation of Hebei, Su Yonglin obtained a certain scale of nitrate mines in Hejian, Renqiu and other places, which can ensure the stable output of gunpowder in a certain sense.

Before occupying Hebei, most of the gunpowder Su Yonglin used was seized, and only a small part was produced by himself. .

The consumption of gunpowder does not seem to be large, but it is really about to hit the top. The consumption of tens of thousands of catties and tens of thousands of catties after a war is normal. Without sufficient gunpowder reserves, it is impossible to fight a hot weapon war.

But now the situation has improved, and a stable output of nitrate has been obtained. Although the output is not large, it is much better than simply scraping nitrate from toilets, pigsties, etc. and boiling it.

Even so, he can't lose the nitrate collected in toilets and pigsties. It is still very difficult to increase the production of gunpowder by relying on the few mines with low output.

That is to say, there is no gunpowder weapon as the main weapon of war, and his troops are still the cold weapon army, otherwise it will be really difficult.

So Su Yonglin summoned Shi Zheng, the head of the Ordnance Department, and instructed him to form a team dedicated to collecting nitrate, to scrape a small amount of nitrate from toilets, pigsties, and other places.

It's less, but it's better than nothing.

At the same time, he asked the Ordnance Division, which is responsible for the study of gunpowder and firearms, to change its thinking, make changes from the level of improving flying guns, and specialize in tubular firearms.

Referring to the technology of casting bronze bells, they tried to build a gun tube with iron. A large iron ball was placed in the gun tube. They had to find a way to use gunpowder to shoot the big iron ball out of the gun tube. .

That being the case, Su Yonglin is not a professional either, so he can only give a rough idea, and the rest can only be left to them to explore on their own.

But after groping, Su Yonglin reminded them specially.

"Gunpowder explosion is a very dangerous thing. The iron pipes you cast must be thick and not too thin. Once they are cast, you must hide far away during the test launch. If you need to find a good cover, you must not be stupid. Stand nearby stupidly, or you won't know how to die, understand?"
