Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 448 The Eel Effect
After testing the artillery, the Firearms Bureau showed a round of firearm testing in front of Chen Yunfu and his son.

There is progress, but the effect is not ideal.

The history of the development of firecrackers is familiar to everyone. It originated from the discovery of gunpowder by alchemists in the late Tang Dynasty, and then developed the first firearms used by the army in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Huomen guns began to be born. The positive side of the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was to promote the research and development of firearms and other military equipment.

At the beginning of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty Wubei Zhi recorded that the Huomen gun began to enter the army system as military equipment.

"Ten guns for every hundred households."

The gun here refers to the fire door gun.

In Chen Yunfu's eyes, Huomen guns are not qualified to be called firecrackers, just like the artillery that exploded at every turn in the past is not qualified to be called artillery.

The structure and principle of use of the Huomen Gun are almost the same as those of the Burst Gun. It has disadvantages such as poor accuracy, short range, troublesome loading, and the need for two people to operate it. Therefore, Chen Yunfu never planned to create a magic machine battalion like Zhu Di did.

The firecracker he asked the Firearms Bureau to develop was the one with the ignition device moved back.

This kind of firecracker can be used and operated by a single soldier, so it is qualified to be called a firecracker.

If you want to say when you can move the reload backward, then you are qualified to be called a musket.

Dai Shaoning said: "The front chamber, the chamber, the magazine, and the handle (butt) are the four important components of the firearm that our Firearms Bureau is currently developing.

Among them, the most difficult technical problem to overcome is the construction of the barrel of the front breech. If a smooth barrel is used, the accuracy of the shot will be extremely poor, so we designed a barrel with rifling.

In this way, the fired projectile has stability, and has a longer range and stronger kinetic energy.

However, the requirements for the barrel are more stringent.

Our Firearms Bureau has tested many kinds of barrels made of different ore materials, but it is still not ideal. Every year, the imperial court allocates most of the research and development funds for our Firearms Bureau to design the barrel.

As long as the technical problems of the front breech parts are overcome, the firecrackers with high stability and long range can be mass-produced and assembled for use by the army. "

rifling.

That is, muzzle-loading rifles, aliases, rifles.

At the beginning of the fifteenth century, Germany will develop the first rifled muzzle, in other words, more than ten years later.

In the research and development process of muskets, China has gradually fallen behind Europe in the Yongle Year.

Although this lag is not obvious, but the further back the greater.

After returning to the city from the Firearms Bureau, Chen Jinghe understood why Chen Yunfu took him out of the city today.

In fact, his father had already made complete preparations for him and the future of the Chen family.

These preparations are not just political back-ups, nor are they just military back-ups, but also.

The hole card in military technology!

Those kings who were entrusted outside will never know that in Nanjing in Zhongzhou, Chen Yunfu hides so many good things.

What they could see was only what Chen Yunfu wanted them to see.

"In the past ten years, I have made this country rich to the present level. They think that what I have left for this country is only gold and silver like mountains and seas, or just the two cities of Guangzhou and Quanzhou.

Where did so much money, so many resources, so many slaves go? "

Inside the car, Chen Yunfu's words made Chen Jinghe shudder.

"It's all in Gu's hands. In the future, I will leave it to you."

What does this world look like, except for Chen Yunfu, who can really see the true face of Lushan Mountain of the state machine!

Chen Jinghe suddenly thought of the time before the battle of Jingnan.

That year when his father fell from power, everyone thought that Chen Yunfu would die.

The result was that Chen Yunfu quietly seized the power in this world.

"I want people like Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen to die. They won't even be able to see the sun the next day."

This is his own father.

It might be the same now.

People like Chang Mao and Lan Yu can only live if Chen Yunfu lets them live, that's all.

Chen Jinghe suddenly thought of a story he heard from Chen Yunfu when he was a child.

eel effect.

Returning the government to Zhu Yunxi is a spur to him, Chen Jinghe.

If I can't become a talent, then what my father can leave me may be greatly reduced. I can save my life and the lives of my descendants, but I will lose a lot of power.

Unless, I can convince Chen Yunfu that I am the hero who has the ability to provoke the Kyushu community.

Then, what backhands did Chen Yunfu leave for Zhu Yunxi?

Chen Jinghe silently looked at his father beside him, fully understanding Chen Yunfu's plan in his heart.

In the eyes of the latter, Zhu Yunxi is also his 'child'!
Therefore, Chen Yunfu intends to tie his future with Chen Jinghe's and Zhu Yunyu's.

The two spur each other forward, and whoever slacks off will lose the qualification to distribute state power.

I am the prince of King Yu, and I have been slacking off a lot because of this status in recent years. I think that after Chen Yunfu's hundred years in the future, I will naturally inherit this country and the supreme power of the co-lord of Kyushu, but in fact, my father is not at all. I don't intend to give everything to myself.

Without competition, how can progress be made.

If the power is dominated by one family, then the person in power will not make progress, and the country will not make progress. History has proved it many times.

This is true of any dynasty, and the cycle repeats.

And in any progressive dynasty or country, power is never in the hands of one person.

Involution, indeed, is everywhere.

Chen Jinghe is still young after all, the more he thinks, the more he feels that his brain is not enough, and he even has a splitting headache.

Looking at Chen Yunfu who was sitting beside him, he felt that his father, whose blood was thicker than water and who was extremely kind, was so strange, as if he was shrouded in mist.

So unreal!

For a moment, Chen Jinghe even had an illusion.

Does his own father really exist?

"Your Majesty, we are here."

The carriage stopped slowly, and Mu Shiqun's soft call broke the silence of the carriage. Chen Yunfu woke up Chen Jinghe when he stood up.

"Son, you're home."

"Ah! Yes."

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Yunfu looked at Chen Jinghe, who was profusely sweating, and handed over a silk handkerchief: "Why is your face full of sweat?"

Chen Jinghe lowered his head and said, "The interior of the car is too stuffy, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Do you want to see the imperial physician for you?"

"My son is fine, just take a breath."

Chen Yunfu nodded and walked out of the carriage, stepped on the soft stool, and Yang Shiqi came up.

"Shuai Lan went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs today, saying that he wanted to select a group of reserve officials from the School of Administration to accompany him to Moting."

"Well, I've already guessed the reason why he came back this time."

Chen Yunfu nodded: "The battle is over, such a large territory must be governed by someone, and he doesn't have a ready-made Yu Yifeng."

"Then, the Mengzhou system and Lan Shuai's king ceremony."

"Pick a good day and let Shuai Lan do it. After finishing it, he should leave."

Chen Yunfu sighed: "Shiqi, there are fewer and fewer old friends around Gu."

Once Mengzhou is established, Sapphire is bound to leave, and there may be many, many people leaving with Sapphire.

In a blink of an eye, there are fewer and fewer old friends in Nanjing.

Unknowingly, the strategic composition of my big Kyushu already has three states.

The eel effect is about to appear.
