Liu Yu's words successfully aroused the interest of Count Morpa.

His so-called new rifled gun loading technology is, of course, Mini rounds.

The appearance of Mini bullets was more than 300 years later than rifling, and some elite chasseurs in Europe used rifled guns loaded with hammers.

To put it bluntly, Mini is a question of thinking, a very ingenious idea.

Once this idea is learned, it is not worth anything at all. Or as soon as this bullet appears, combined with the corresponding tactics, it will soon be imitated.

This technique sells for the highest price before it is used.

Led Count Morpa to the secret firing range on Liugong Island, where several hand-rifled and finest flintlock muskets were carefully selected in the hands of several officers.

For the sake of "safety", in fact, to make Count Morpa unable to see the details, at a distance of twenty meters from those shooters, Count Morpa personally saw the accuracy of those gunners with the loading speed of their smoothbore guns and the accuracy that only rifled guns at super distances can have.

led him to see the shooting range on the target, and quietly observed the count's face, Liu Yu also intimately promoted why France needs this technology very much.

"The Russian-Austrian alliance is impossible to dismantle for the time being. The Austrians will be the enemies of France for a long time. I think Mr. Earl knows this better than I do. ”

"The Austrians had very good light infantry. For example, the Pandur soldiers, who were loosely disciplined, but were excellent light infantry. ”

"As for the role of the light infantry, I think Mr. Count also knows better. In fact, if there is no cavalry threat, good light infantry or skirmishers can contain the opponent's horizontal column with fewer troops. ”

"They harass in front and block the enemy's phalanx, so as to cover their own phalanx to spread around the flank."

"If the French army had possessed such guns and reloading techniques, it would probably bring about a great military change, and it would have been able to suppress the irritating light infantry of the Austrians."

"The stragglers were delaying in front to cover and block, and the line soldiers calmly deployed. In terms of counter-shooting, light infantry or skirmishers with a more scattered formation have a great advantage. And this rifled bullet of this new type can increase the firing range. ”

"As for the Russians, they have a huge number of cavalry. This rifled loading technique allowed the French Army to fire at a great distance from the Russian cavalry. ”

As he spoke, he took out a tactical booklet he had written about the coordination of light infantry, skirmishers, and heavy phalanx columns.

It is better to have some skirmishers deployed in front of the line soldiers, even if they are with smoothbore guns, which is very effective.

The Qingzhou army had almost no stragglers, because it was not needed to fight against the department.

The muskets of the quasi-department are still arquebuses, and the artillery is far behind, and the Qingzhou Army does not need any stragglers in front of the line formation, so it can unscrupulously engage in thick column tactics: there is no artillery, the muskets are poor, and the thick column is afraid of being defeated?

But it's not the same for France.

It was perhaps not until the War of the Austrian Succession, or the Seven Years' War, that France realized the effects of light infantry? Especially after the light infantry of Austria taught the nations a lesson.

How much did the artillery of the two sides differ on the European battlefield? The flintlock pistols are also about the same, in this case? Liu Yu just explained a little? Count Morpa knew the significance of this musket.

Rifling, not easy? This thing must be equipped with elite troops, and it is not a consumable infantry used to line up and shoot.

What if you had the treasure of taking the pamphlet in Latin? After turning a few pages? Above are all reflections and drawings of tactics, with very detailed calculations enumerating the great role of skirmishers or light infantry armed with such rifled guns in front of the line formation.

Although, we all know that the most effective people are skirmishers and light infantry, and also know that although they are equipped with rifled guns? I also know that it is the line soldiers who ultimately decide the outcome of the battlefield...... But undoubtedly? This system of new equipment and new tactics will bring about tremendous changes in the tactics of the army.

Lining up to be shot is not set in stone.

What Liu Yu urgently needs now is some advanced technology from France, but no matter how advanced the technology is, it also needs money.

Anyway, he? And the emperor and the imperial court, it is impossible to loosen the control of exports? It is even less likely to allow a technology exodus.

If you exchange Mini bullets for battleship drawings and Liu Yu's side, you can send outstanding young people to France to study shipbuilding and other technologies, Liu Yu seems that it is worth it.

Is rifling hard to pull? It is not possible to popularize it for the time being.

France is going to fight a big war in Europe, in the short term? Excellent rifled guns must be assigned to the elite troops of the homeland. It is impossible for the Indian side to get their hands on such weapons.

In a short period of time? It was also impossible for Dashun to go to war with the French army.

But? Excellent battleships can be used for more than 50 years, and it is an urgent need now.

It's okay for the cruiser to hit Japan, but it might be possible to take the opportunity to attack the Dutch in Southeast Asia.

However, if you want to engage India, you have to face the British, and without the battleships of 74 guns, Liu Yu is extremely bottomless.

Even if the French gain a firm foothold in India, one will go around the Cape of Good Hope, and the other can directly recruit troops from the South Seas, there will be no suspense at all.

Moreover, Liu Yu hopes that the French will make some big moves in Europe, and it is better to let go of British blood. Even if you can't drain the blood of the British, it would be good to let the blood of the Dutch and the Russians go.

The situation in Europe is destined to make it impossible for anyone who is the strongest on the continent to have a diplomatic situation, and this is not something that a genius diplomat can solve.

If the French army bleed more than the Dutch or the British, Dashun would shed one less drop of blood in Southeast Asia.

If Europe wants to be chaotic, there must be a country that breaks the equilibrium at this time, and this blood worship Liu Yu has long been eyeing France.

"Mr. Earl, I can guarantee that the advantages of this technology will also guarantee that this technology will be enough to bring about a new tactical system."

"I have a great offer."

"I beg your king to send excellent shipbuilders to help Dashun build a new type of battleship. We are also allowed to send special missions to visit and study in French shipyards, military factories, etc. ”

"It's good for both sides. There was no conflict of interest between the navy of Dashun and the navy of France; There was also no conflict between the army of France and the army of Dashun. ”

"On the contrary, our navy has a common enemy; Our land forces also have a common enemy. It will be a pleasant meeting to exchange with each other as a good start to this negotiation. ”

"The skills of this new rifled gun will be handed over to you on the day when the first 74-gun new battleship in Dashun is launched. And I can guarantee that in Europe, except for France, I will not make this deal with any other country. ”

Count Morpa was impressed by the proposal.

He had just seen the shooting drill, and he was already shocked by the effect of the Mini bullet, which meant that it could kill the enemy very efficiently at a distance of about two hundred meters, and this was only an improvement in this aspect of the weapon.

Combined with the new tactical system in the booklet, the improvements are not limited to those brought by weapons.

Tactics read well and have convinced Count Morpa. But the premise of this tactic is to be a good, accurate enough rifled flintlock pistol with a fast enough reload.

Moreover, it is also useful for the Navy. Shooting sailors on the mast can kill and injure a large number of sailors on the opposing deck when the fleet is bombarded.

It's just that, compared with the huge interests of porcelain and silk, Count Morpa still has a trade-off in his heart.

New tactics, or more money.

France's choice should take precedence over the latter.

Because the existing tactics France is not lagging behind, and the fleet technology is not bad, what is missing is money.

"Earl Liu, this new type of reloading method is very effective and amazing. But, in contrast to this, Paris would prefer a broader alliance between China and France. ”

"There was a wish that we would bring you the art of glass, and that you would teach us how to make porcelain. We taught you wool weaving, you taught us cotton weaving and silk ......"

"If I could, I would like to be able to talk more about these issues."

Liu Yu immediately shook his head.

"As the deputy envoy of this reception, I can clearly convey the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire: this is a condition that cannot be discussed, and it is also a meaningless condition."

"I can tell you unequivocally that Dashun will soon implement the "Skilled Worker Management and Overseas Bill".

Actually, no, it's pure nonsense.

As long as it is open, it will inevitably lead to an outflow of technology.

Dashun has been opened a little before, missionaries are running around, and a lot of ports have been opened, if it weren't for the slow response of the European side, I am afraid that some technology would have been stolen long ago.

Dashun's grassroots control ability is also not at all able to learn from the UK's ability to implement the "Skilled Worker Management Act".

This ability refers to the continued open-mindedness, the unjurisdictionality of the long coastline, and the possible gradual elimination of the poll tax jurisdiction.

If you want to open up, you will inevitably have a technology outflow; If you want technology not to leak out, then simply close the country.

Britain is a very small place, the navy is very strong, and the anti-smuggling investigation is also strict, and there is no way to control the territory of 100 miles compared with the grassroots level.

Fortunately, although Dashun's previous trade policy was brain-pumping in Liu Yu's opinion, it still ensured that foreigners were not allowed to go deep into the mainland, and even in Songjiang and other places, they were only allowed to rent houses and buy houses, let alone run around, so they could only stay in the trade zone.

Fortunately, Yu Yu's brain was pumped, and he was too strict in the matter of ancestor worship, Dashun made up his mind to ban Christianity, and there was no possibility for missionaries to run around in the name of missionary mission to spy on secrets.

Count Morpa definitely didn't know the state of Dashun, and he should still be able to fool him by fooling him like this.

In order to deepen the intensity of the deception, Liu Yu said: "In addition, in the future, Songjiang, Ningbo, Zhangzhou, Guangdong and other places are not allowed to open porcelain workshops, especially around the trade zone. Once someone is caught passing on these secrets, kill them directly. ”

"It's not just a matter of preparedness, it's a deeper reason."

Liu Yu continued: "Some officials in the imperial court, because of the spread of Catholicism and some of the actions of the Dutch in Southeast Asia, even put forward a proposal to completely close the trade. It was not easy to communicate with the outside world, and as a supporter, I also withstood a lot of pressure. ”

"You see, just as you can't tell the difference between us and the Koreans by our appearance, in fact we can't tell the difference between the French, the Spaniards, the Dutch, and the Russians. The Dutch have a bad impression, and in the eyes of some, Europeans, there is no difference. ”

"If you're going to make a formal proposal about silk, porcelain, etc., it's all the more solid for the opposition's claim that the Europeans want to steal the technology. This could lead to a complete closure of trade channels by the anti-trade factions at home, and even beware of all Europeans. So I hope that this time in the negotiations in the capital, please do not talk about any terms on these issues. ”

"I suggest that we first draw up the exchange of land and navy between China and France here. Army's rifled gun bullet technology in exchange for new battleship designs and builds. ”
