Chapter 815 King Gao's Abacus Still Ringing
In Thang Long City, soldiers of the Western Army cleared the corpses out of the city, and groups of soldiers patrolled the streets in the city to restore order in Thang Long City.

Sun Kewang believes that as long as his rule can bring stability to the common people, ordinary people and smart people will not care too much about the change of kingship. The trouble is some hard-headed scholars.

At this time, Sun Kewang galloped through the street with a team of people. He didn't wait for Liu Zongmin to fetch the things, but decided impatiently to go over to check them himself.

The cavalry galloped past, and Xu Yixian moved very quickly. The corpses on the street were pulled away by the soldiers, and the blood was washed away. It was as if nothing had happened.

This is like the fall of Constantinople. After three days of slaughter, everything starts again. The people in the city quickly forget the past glory and surrender at the feet of the conqueror.

Sun Kewang and his party rushed out of the city, and in the wilderness outside the city, large tents were stretched neatly one after another, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Soldiers and soldiers of the Western Army walked through the camp, and a group of men and horses were urging the prisoners to repair the bombed city wall.

At this time, a group of people came to the school field, and a large number of generals of the Western Army also came after hearing the news. Liu Zongmin was worried about letting the Dutch try their guns, so he found a few gunners of the Western Army, and asked them to learn it before showing it to Sun Kewang.

The structure of flintlock guns and matchlock guns is basically the same, and the soldiers of the Western Army quickly learned to use them, and then demonstrated them to Sun Kewang and his party. Ten soldiers raised their guns and fired in volley. Smoke filled the sky.

At this time, the soldiers brought the target, and Sun Kewang couldn't help being a little surprised to see that the one-inch-thick wooden board was pierced by the projectile, and in some places a large piece was broken off.

"The bow and arrow can produce such an effect within 100 steps. It is estimated that this firecracker has a chance to penetrate the armor within [-] steps! If you kill a soldier who has not pierced the armor, it is estimated that it will be brought down after more than [-] steps." Liu Zongmin has tried it beforehand, so he is relatively clear about the performance.

Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "No wonder it's so easy for Gao Er to beat the Tartars. With such a sharp weapon, wouldn't the Tartars' bows and arrows become children's toys?"

As he spoke, he looked at the soldiers who were shooting again, and suddenly asked: "You just fired, what do you think of this firecracker?"

A small leader saluted and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, during the test shooting, I found that the difference between this self-generating fire blunderbuss and the bird blunderbuses we use is that the firing device has been improved. When I shoot, I don't need to light the matchlock." , and there is no need to fix and check the matchlock repeatedly, the shooting steps are simplified, and you should be able to fire a few more guns than the bird gun during the battle. In addition, the matchlock does not need to be ignited, and it should be usable in windy days, but I don’t know if it can be used in rain!”

Sun Kewang's eyes were shining, and he was more excited, but he also knew that even if he was itchy, it would not work.This thing is a good thing, but it is not easy to make it. The cannon foundry he owns in Yunnan can only make some old firearms up to now.

Sun Kewang has always been coveted by Gao Yihuan's craftsmen, and asked Gao Yihuan several times to ask for it. Gao Yihuan didn't like him, but only gave him some firecrackers and thunderbolts, and he absolutely didn't give him the new self-produced firecrackers, flowering bullets, and mortars. , don't even let him look at it.

"Okay! This kind of firecracker, I want to imitate it at any cost." Sun Kewang clenched his fist and looked very excited, "By the way, where is the red-haired barbarian's armor?"

At that moment, Liu Zongmin asked people to put the armor on the human-shaped target, put them thirty steps away, ordered bows and arrows to shoot, and bombarded with bird guns, but they couldn't break the armor. Finally, they used flintlock guns to make a dent.

The seventeenth century was the era of alternating hot and cold weapons. With the advancement of smelting and forging technology, cold weapons gradually reached their peak. Although plate armor is bulky, it can be said to be the armor with the best defense. It can be regarded as cold weapon armor. pinnacle work.

The advantage of the arquebus era over cold weapons was not particularly obvious, but at this point in the development of firearms, with the emergence of flintlock guns, firearms began to have a huge advantage over cold weapons.

Therefore, the flintlock and the plate armor are the representatives of advanced firearms, and the other is the pinnacle of cold weapons. If you can have these two things, you will be able to hold the spear and shield of this era in your hands.

Sun Kewang was very happy when he saw it, and decided to imitate these two instruments no matter what, but at the same time he frowned.

Sun Kewang is very good at calculating accounts. Although he doesn't understand the manufacturing process of these things, he only needs to look at their materials and craftsmanship to know that the cost of making these things must be astonishing. A small country can't make much at all. The final comparison is national power.

Gao Lao Er was able to make so many firearms not simply because of craftsmen, but also because he had the resources, financial, material and manpower, to afford it.

This made Sun Kewang a little depressed, but then he cheered up again. Gao Er Er did not become the king of Wei in a day. He is now in a very good environment. The powerful enemies in the north are restraining each other, and he has no time to look south. The east is the sea , there are no strong enemies in the west and south, it is a good time for him to develop and grow.

Sun Kewang looked around, picked out a complete pair of Dutch armor and a short-barreled flintlock used by officers, and returned to Thang Long City with some emotion.

At this time, more than a dozen cavalrymen surrounded a cavalryman with an urgent flag on his back, and galloped into Shenglong City. They crossed the street all the way and stopped in front of the Annan Palace. The leading cavalryman hurriedly turned over Dismounting, he held up the military report contained in the round bamboo tube in one hand, and hurried forward, shouting, "Hurry up and beat the report, the military situation is extremely urgent."

After Sun Kewang returned to the palace, instead of indulging in the beauty of the female relatives in the Li Dynasty palace, he played with the toys he brought back and tried shooting the flintlock.

At this time Xu Yixian came in hurriedly, his footsteps were a little flustered, "My lord, there is an urgent report from Guangxi!"

Sun Kewang's heart trembled, "What happened?"

"Ai Nengqi beat the newspaper and found that the Ming army was gathering troops in Nanning, Guizhou, and Huguang Baoqing. The target may be us!" Xu Yixian said anxiously.

Sun Kewang was a little surprised. He took the military report submitted by Xu Yixian and quickly read it. It was Ainengqi who stated to him that the Ming Dynasty had increased troops to the southwest.

Nanning and Guizhou in Guangxi, and Baoqing in the southwestern part of Huguang are all adjacent to the Western Army.It goes without saying that the Ming army sent more troops to these places, and they definitely wanted to attack him.

"It's unreasonable! Zhu Cihong didn't wipe his ass clean, and he came up with this king's idea." Sun Kewang's angry general newspaper crumbled into a ball. He wanted to recuperate for a year, but he didn't want to trouble himself to come to the door and ruin his continued south. Jin's strategy, "The Western Wei Dynasty asked the king to attack Zhu Cihong, but the king didn't go, and Zhu Cihong actually came to the door. Is he begging for a fight? This little emperor is really stupid. He didn't know that Gao Er was looking forward to the king and him. Is there a war?"

Suddenly, an evil fire rose in Sun Kewang's heart. Unexpectedly, Gao Er'er's abacus came into being.
