I am the king of the dead

Chapter 956
Yuan Bin didn't want to use the big fire blunderbuss before, because he was powerful in force and young in the world, even if he didn't have the fire blunderbuss, it didn't affect his invincibility.

But the Ming army was not willing to use firecrackers before, and the household department in charge of logistics and supplies did not like the Ming army's use of artillery guns in the past.

The previous Daming fire blunderbuss could not be used when it was windy or rainy, and could not adapt to the complex battlefield environment. However, the quality of the gunpowder before the Ming Dynasty was not good, which was not conducive to long-term storage. Over time, stratification would appear. Gunpowder, even fireworks and firecrackers cannot be made, and expensive gunpowder has become a pile of waste, which is not suitable for long-term storage.But in actual use, you have to reload after firing a shot, and it takes a long time to reload. In the moment of life and death on the battlefield, who has time to let you reload slowly?But because of the quality of the gunpowder and gunpowder, how much to load depends entirely on the feeling.

For all the above reasons, the tactics of firecrackers and cannons are destined to be used only by elites in a small area, and this is the reason why only the Shenji Battalion of the three major battalions of the capital has equipped firearms on a large scale.

After the entire Beijing camp was annihilated, the Daming Beijing Camp was reorganized. After the reorganization, the Ministry of Industry, Shijing Factory, and the Ten History Bureaus have been working hard to improve the various drawbacks of firearms. Every time a problem is solved, let the firearms This kind of firearm is more suitable for the battlefield. Until now, 12 years have passed, and the martial arts hall has proposed many possibilities around the combination of firecrackers and artillery. The battle method that has been tested on the battlefield is to line up and shoot.

The army, the most sophisticated killing machine of mankind, pursues the simplest and most efficient way to kill the enemy.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said to Yuan Bin: "Let's go, let's try the bird blunderbuss sent by the Bingzhan Bureau. At first, the Bingzhan Bureau said that it was called the Jingtai [-]-style fixed-mounted blunderbuss. I asked them to take the Jingtai [-] If the first word is removed, it will be a fixed-mounted firecracker of the first and second styles."

"This is a firecracker that will be mass-produced. It is ready to be fully installed in the entire Beijing camp, and all the old equipment in the Beijing camp will be handed over to the frontier army for use."

Two small yellow gates cleared the way in front, Zhu Qiyu and Yuan Bin talked about all kinds of interesting things about the Japanese country, until they came to the shooting range of the school grounds, and a set up long gun appeared in front of Zhu Qiyu.

If Yuan Bin's green bludgeon, long and short, has the gorgeous style of green scorpion animal head, then the style of the one or two fixed-mounted blunderbusses in front of him, which is about to be installed on a large scale, is a minimalist style. , without any extra accessories, without complicated patterns, minimalism does not mean simple, but simple and durable.

Yuan Bin's green gun was broken, and the emperor of Ming wanted to make up ten or eight sets for him, but the ordinary sergeants of the Ming army did not have such conditions. became inevitable.

Zhu Qiyu picked up one or two fixed-mounted firecrackers, patted and said: "The gun stock is made of teak wood. The teak wood from Luchuan can not only make durable ships, but also can be used to make gun stocks. Seamless steel pipe is used, and the entire bolt is made of high-quality spring steel and brass."

The teak wood of the gun stock has been steam-dried and soaked in tung oil, showing a red color with wood grain, which is still red in Ming Dynasty. This teak red color is not bright, but rather calm. The teak wood comes from Wanli Haitang, Jiaozhi, Luchuan and other places. Most of the tung oil is produced in Guizhou and Huguang, but the production of gun stocks is in Songjiang Prefecture, which is the distribution center of Daming Department Store.

The seamless steel tube of the gun barrel replaces the previous cupronickel. The production of the steel tube is extremely complicated. The seamless steel tube comes from Liaodong Benxi Tieshan in the Liaodong factory. It brought a lot of surprises. Daming suffered a severe copper shortage, and only Benxi Tieshan could provide the best iron materials.

The gun mechanism is completely made by the Bingzhan Bureau, and spring steel is still the specialty of Shijing Factory in the capital of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu patted the firecracker and said: "The craftsmen of Bingzhan Bureau made a side cut on the inside of the butt to make it easier to aim, and the gun is made of copper for maintenance. The gun made of steel is easy to rust, and it is still cupronickel." It is more reliable, the steel pipe and the steel hoop of the butt are consumables, but the operation is simple, and it is very convenient to disassemble, replace and maintain.”

"In the process of using firecrackers for a long time, I found that our Ming soldiers all cherish their firecrackers and maintain them like family heirlooms."

The Ministry of Households counts the reported loss rate of the Beijing camp every year. This figure is so low that Zhu Qiyu wonders if the Ministry of Households is fooling him. After checking it himself, he finds out that it is neither the Ministry of Households fooling him nor the general of the Beijing camp. , The commanders concealed the report, but the damage of Daming's firecrackers is so low.

This firecracker should be a consumable item, but the soldiers of Ming Dynasty used it as a long-term armament.

This has to mention that the Yongle-made pistol that Yu Qian gave to His Majesty the Emperor, it has been more than 40 years, and it is still brand new. It is put on the Xianyu of later generations. It has to be marked as a new one for a girl's own use. The fire blunderbuss is nothing Good luck, in the process of experimenting with new gunpowder, Zhu Qiyu blasted him in the chest.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The whole gun weighs nine catties, its total length is four feet five inches and three cents, the barrel length is three feet three inches and nine cents, and the caliber is five cents and four centimeters. The different shapes of lead are also the spherical lead bullets ordered by Shijing Factory, and our sergeants don’t need to grind the lead bullets if they have nothing to do.”

Zheng Xu Dun, the inspector of the Qintian Supervisor, quickly waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you still have to grind it. Although the barrel of this gun is not bad at all, there will inevitably be burrs on the lead, which will easily wear out the barrel, so you still have to grind it. "

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands and said to Xu Dun: "Of course I know that the lead bullets I use are all ground by myself, but I don't go to the battlefield. With this skill to grind lead bullets, the soldiers usually work very hard. , how can there be time to grind? When it is worn out, you can change a barrel, and you don’t have much money, and you spend all day digging and digging, it’s a consumable!”

Xu Dun wanted to refute, but in the end he hesitated and didn't say anything.

The lead bullets used by His Majesty were all ground by the supreme Emperor Ming himself, and Yizhao looked up to him and acted accordingly. In the minds of many soldiers, grinding lead bullets was not only for protecting the barrel of a gun, but also for a purpose. This kind of etiquette, more commonly speaking, is consecration.

This logic is very meticulous. Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen all claimed that he was the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, and His Majesty also took the title of Emperor Zhenwu. If Emperor Zhenwu used blunderbusses to grind lead bullets, wouldn't the sergeants grinding lead bullets be congratulations?

This is more accurate!

His Majesty has time to sharpen lead bullets even though His Majesty has a lot to do, no matter how busy the sergeants are, they can still find time to sharpen them.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The sulfur sent by the Japanese country is of high quality, and it is all processed in the Japanese country. It can be used directly in Daming. The Tai Hospital also specially made sulfur bath beans and sulfur soap, which are really good. , Our gunpowder can now be wrapped in paper and packed in paper, and the country of Wa also contributed."

Zhu Qiyu is very grateful for the Japanese silver and brimstone sent by the Japanese country, so he hopes that the Japanese country can maintain the status quo and provide Japanese silver and sulfur continuously and steadily.

Packing gunpowder in paper was finally used on a large scale with the increase in productivity in the Ming Dynasty. This is due to the uniform specifications of gun barrels, bolts, and lead bullets, and the improvement in accuracy. It has become a kind of armament that can be deployed on a large scale, not a possibility.

In the past, only the Tiqis could use the fixed gunpowder. The armaments of the Tiqis were standard armaments. After Jingtai completed the refitting 14 years later, the first and second types of fixed gunpowder will continue to refit the frontier troops.

Zhu Qiyu picked up the long bayonet on the table and said: "The last is this front-mounted boring knife, a bayonet that can be mounted on a firecracker. This is the most popular modification of the first and second type of fixed-mounted firecrackers this time."

A bayonet that can be mounted on the firecracker has become the most popular modification. Of course Zhu Qiyu knew the need, but after sending out a small-scale experiment, this bayonet was highly praised. Among all the inspections, the sergeants liked it the most. The reason given for this bayonet is that lead bullets are fools and bayonets are heroes.

It's not Zhu Qiyu's turn to object to what the soldiers who use ordnance like.

"Come and try." Zhu Qiyu handed Yuan Bin a long blunderbuss, took one for himself, began to fill the gun with ammunition, and then fired. It was divided into [-]-step target and [-]-step target. Zhu Qiyu's hand was very steady. Buckshot whizzed across the shooting range, fell on the steel target and passed through.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Qiyu put down the firecracker. During this quarter of an hour, Zhu Qiyu fired a total of 46 lead bullets.

"Report the target." Zhu Qiyu looked at the little yellow gate and signaled that he could go and check the target report, and the papers hanging on the target were taken back one by one.

"Yuan Gongfang's [-]-step target, [-] shots on the target, [-]% of the target, [-] shots from the [-]-step target, [-]% of the target." Xing'an put Yuan Bin's target paper in front of His Majesty for inspection and put it away In front of Zhu Qiyu.

Soon Zhu Qiyu's results came out, and Xing'an put the target papers one by one in front of his Majesty and said: "Your Majesty, with a target of fifty steps, you will get 23 shots on the target, and you will get 23% of the target, and you will get [-] shots on the target at a hundred steps. Ten percent of the target."

Zhu Qiyu laughed angrily when he saw it, pointed at the target papers and said: "Xing'an! You took out the trick of pawn pushing on the chessboard again? This cheating is just cheating. It's nothing more than fooling me on weekdays. This foreigner is here Well, you are fooling too."

"I didn't..." Xing'an immediately became impatient, he really didn't deceive the emperor!
It's not surprising that the referee likes to make rulings in favor of His Majesty. It's fine to fool the emperor a little on weekdays, but with the minister here, such a target rate is a bit fooling people.

This is really because Zhu Qiyu misunderstood Xing'an, he didn't coax His Majesty to play, and he didn't cheat today, His Majesty just played accurately...

Zi didn't say anything strange, but His Majesty's blunderbuss was so accurate, Lu Zhong sometimes thought, could it be that His Majesty is really the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu?Last time in Hukou County, His Majesty shot Dabutou Jinsan, and he hit the opponent's heart with a single shot. The distance was at least fifty paces.

"You guys, just coax me every day." Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said to Yuan Bin: "One or two fixed-mounted firecrackers, if you hit the target with [-]% of the fifty steps, you are considered qualified, and if you hit the target with [-]%, you are a god." Shooter, in the dense battle formation, the combined hit rate exceeds [-]%, as long as you hit, you will either die or be injured."

"In the face of the big fire gun array, charging means death."

Zhu Qiyu knew the hit rate of the Daming fire blunderbuss, so he said that Xing'an was coaxing him. Before he came to Daming, Zhu Qiyu was a teacher. The school held a sports meeting. When the 1000-meter race was held, the physical education teacher who ran in front was at the finish line. Suddenly, he stumbled with his left foot and fell down with his right foot. The principal came out on top and won the championship!

After Yuan Bin heard about it, he was stunned for a moment. He found that his military skills were a little behind. After leaving Daming for so many years, he actually felt like a world away. His Majesty said that it doesn't matter whether he queued up to shoot or the overall hit rate , to Yuan Bin, is a very new thing.

"Is this a tiger squatting cannon?" Yuan Bin looked at what looked like a tiger squatting cannon and asked incredulously.

Zhu Qiyu also looked at the cannon on the ground with a complicated face and said: "It's made by the military battle. It can be regarded as a tiger squat cannon. It is used by individual soldiers. It can be operated by one person. It is weaker than the traditional tiger squat cannon in power, but it is portable. It surpasses the tiger squatting cannon, if it is said to be a swarm, it is more powerful than the tiger squatting cannon."

It is probably a tiger squatting cannon and a swarm of bees. It is a bit like a mortar, but not as convenient as a mortar. In short, for Zhu Qiyu, this thing is also very abstract. This tiger squatting cannon is in the middle of the Tiqi After being installed in a small range, it has also received good comments and many suggestions for improvement.

Zhu Qiyu chatted with Yuan Bin for a long time, and Yuan Bin still couldn't find the mirror in the shrine in the Kingdom of Wa. He reported in detail about the output of the three major silver mountains of the Kingdom of Wa, and the new situation that the Kingdom of Wa recently faced with a large number of Ming merchants going to sea. Under the situation, all kinds of changes have taken place, in order to welcome the arrival of the great Ming maritime merchants, and because of the chaos in the Wa Kingdom, the industries of the traveling girls, Taifu, and Oiran in the Wa Kingdom have had a great impact on the North Korean Koryoji industry.

The vigorous and rapid development of the skin and meat business is also a silhouette of the rapid development of the Seto Inland Sea economic circle around the country of Japan.

In Yuan Bin's view, this kind of development is undoubtedly deformed, because most of the people in the Wa Kingdom are in dire straits, and the large number of compradors emerging around the Seto Inland Sea to satisfy the interests of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably become Wa Kingdom's cancer.

In this regard, Zhu Qiyu said that compradors should be supported, and at the same time they can obtain the unique resources of the Japanese country. Naturally, someone will bear the crime of suffering from the Japanese country. These compradors are the best scapegoats.

At the same time, Zhu Qiyu also reminded Yuan Bin that he should pay attention to recruiting refugees, adjusting the contradictions of various classes, and at the same time stabilizing Shan Ye Yuan Gongfang's detached position in the Japanese kingdom.

I don't care, but just a little bit, it's just for Shanye Yuan Gongfang's status in the country of Japan.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The sailor, Peng Sui, took six three-masted ships and twelve armed merchant ships with thousands of materials, and headed for the Great Eastern Ocean." After reporting the state affairs, Yuan Bin said one thing. little things.

In Ryukyu, Peng Sui observed that the drifting ducks returned to Ryukyu. After marking and releasing them many times, he captured the marked drifting ducks. Peng Sui judged that in the Great Eastern Ocean, there was a Cangming current that circulated. After the preparation of the time, Peng Sui, the boatman who discovered the Cangming Current, led an adventure team and set off towards the unknown.

The people of Ming Dynasty never lack people with adventurous spirit, because there are too many people of Ming Dynasty.

Daming's maritime policy has always been relatively vague, which led to a muddled state of maritime affairs before Daming, so the experience of adventurous adventurers cannot be widely spread.

But now, Daming is steadily entering the nautical exploration stage.

　Why did the previous guns have bayonets?Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
