Chapter 383 Shocking
Tang Jin looked at everyone, then looked at the arquebus in his hand, smiled helplessly, beckoned to the guards on the side, and motioned for him to take it down, but the guy hesitated for a long time and slowly moved forward at a speed comparable to that of a turtle.
Tang Jin was speechless for a moment, but fortunately he had already prepared, "Wang Ruhai? Take it down for me. ”
Tang Jin's words were about to fall, and a small official of Dali Temple, who was already waiting outside the palace gate, walked over, took the arquebus in Tang Jin's hand, glanced at the guard with disdain, and inserted it into his waist without care.
As a member of Dali Temple, although they have never used a gun on weekdays, they have seen it, and Wang Ruhai has even driven Tang Jin's sand eagle. Having seen the sand eagle, he said that the power of this thing is rubbish.
"Tang Jin! Hurry up and get that thing back! How can such a dangerous thing be handed over to others at will? Tang Yu looked at Wang Ruhai's eyes and almost straightened, what if that guy's brain was pumped to himself?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, you saw the operation before I shot just now, right? This thing has to be fired once and then repeated before the first shot can be fired, and there is time for this...... Enough to kill him hundreds of times. ”
Tang Jin's words are true, the guards on the scene are in the realm of first-class masters, and if he has time to tinker with ammunition, he can kill Wang Ruhai hundreds of times.
"This ...... It's best to ...... this way," Tang Yu said with palpitations.
Immediately afterwards, the people who calmed down returned to the Jinluan Hall again, and then the entire Jinluan Hall really fell into a dead silence, everyone's eyes were fixed on Tang Jin, as for the previous matter of the Great Emperor impeaching Tang Jin...... Does it matter? Compared to the arquebus, which is enough to change the situation on the battlefield, does his little matter?
"Reckless...... You arquebus...... What is the difficulty of manufacturing? ”
Finally, Tang Yu took the lead in breaking the dead silence, and as soon as he came up, he asked the question that everyone was most concerned about, although the weapon is good, whether it can be popularized determines its true value, if it is too difficult to make and cannot be equipped with the whole army, no matter how powerful it is, what is the use?
"All you need is plain steel, a little harder wood, rope, gunpowder, and a little bit of lead, and if you don't recommend making it a little less powerful, you can do without lead."
Tang Jin replied truthfully. Although in the previous life, the iron used to prepare the barrel of the arquebus required specially smelted refined iron, but I don't know if it was not
It is a problem of world differences, in Datang, the hardness of ordinary iron has caught up with the refined iron of the previous life, and it is completely possible to make gun barrels directly.
Hiss!
Tang Jin's words suddenly made everyone present gasp again. Such a simple ingredient can be imitated! Doesn't that mean that this thing can really fit the whole army?
"The minister said that this arquebus is enough to change the current battlefield situation, if it can't be installed in a large area, how can it change the situation?" Tang Jin said with a smile.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, indeed, only weapons that can be fully equipped can be regarded as changing the situation on the battlefield, otherwise it will be useless no matter how powerful it is. But...... We're really just bragging! Who doesn't talk about it before selling weapons? There are not a few people who say that they can change the situation on the battlefield, and it is true that your feelings have reached you?
"However, although the manufacture of weapons is simple, there are requirements for their use."
As soon as Tang Jin's words came out, everyone present showed an indifferent look. Ordinary swords, guns, swords, halberds still require the strength used, aren't you a problem at all?
"How high does it take?" Tang Yu said disapprequently. Tang Jin's cultivation is just the pinnacle of an ordinary master, he can use this weapon so easily, obviously this weapon does not require high cultivation. In the army, commanders and above all require the strength of ordinary masters, even if they really require the cultivation of ordinary masters, they can make up a lot.
"No, this thing has no requirements for cultivation at all, and any healthy adult can use it."
Wow!
Tang Jin's unintentional words instantly detonated the entire court, and the civil officials said that the military generals didn't blow up the pot directly!
Such a powerful weapon has no requirements for cultivation? Any adult man can use it freely! This...... This...... Does this really exist?
"You mean it!" Tang Yu also looked at Tang Jin in disbelief.
Tang Jin nodded, pointed to Wang Ruhai outside the hall and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, let's do it again?" You find a cavalryman with cultivation and let my subordinate shoot, he is in charge of logistics in Dali Temple, but he has more strength and no cultivation. ”
"No need ......"
Since Tang Jin dared to take the initiative to test, he must be confident, after all, if Tang Yu really wanted to test, this kind of thing was still very
Simple, lying can be broken as soon as you poke it, and it is completely unnecessary.
"That'...... What are the requirements you are talking about? Tang Yu asked uncertainly. There is no requirement for cultivation, so what else can it be? Or can that still be called a requirement?
"If you want to be proficient in using this gun and form a considerable combat effectiveness, you need to do a lot of shooting and queue practice...... It may take a little longer. ”
Good gunners are fed bullets, and modern guns have a variety of design aids that take constant time to master, let alone such a near-primitive guy.
"That's it?"
In a word, it is not only Tang Yu's voice, but also the voice of everyone present. If it weren't even for the emperor's bad speech here, a general really wanted to ask, "This is also a request?" Your family didn't train before the war? What if it takes you a long time? This thing is practiced to catch ten, how can it be counted as a loss! ”
"Uh...... In addition, the arquebus is not easy to use on cloudy days and at night, and it requires regular maintenance, which must be learned by the soldiers themselves. Well, that's all for the main problem, and there's nothing left for the rest. ”
Tang Jin thought about it carefully, these are the big problems, and the rest of the small problems will not be repeated one by one, anyway, there will be time to talk about it in the future.
"That's it?"
This time, Tang Yu did not shy away from saying this directly, and the problems Tang Jin said were basically problems that he didn't need to care about. In the case of a cloudy day and rain, unless there are special circumstances, the brain-dead will send troops? Is it cool to get in the rain? As for the night, it's still the same sentence, unless there are special circumstances, few people send troops, even if they send troops, then they must ensure that they are quiet, this thing is such a big movement, what a fart? And finally there is the question of maintenance and learning...... Please refer to the training session.
"In that case, Tang Jin stepped forward to listen to the seal!" Tang Yu waved his hand, "I set up the Datang Ordnance Department today, with Tang Jin, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, as the director, responsible for the manufacture and training of arquebuses. Give Tang Jin a talisman, you can mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses for his training and garrison, give 300 craftsmen, if you need to add more, you can go to the Ministry of Industry at any time to extract; The Ministry of Works, on the other hand, will suspend all work except for royal affairs, and obey the dispatch of the Ordnance Department to ensure that it is completed and put into use as soon as possible! ”
