Chapter 1212 There are gains and losses

"Young master, don't be modest, I don't think I will be on target!"

The First Emperor waved his hand to comfort him, and then followed Chen Xu's example to open the magazine of the pistol, fill in a bullet, close the magazine, open the safe, the movement was slow and jerky but extremely serious, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Click~"

The First Emperor pulled the bolt of the gun, then raised his pistol and raised his head, aimed at the wooden target with a serious and serious face, and pulled the trigger in the slight shaking of the pistol.

"Five rings~" After a gunshot, the sound of the teenager reporting the target was heard soon.

"Your Majesty's spearmanship has been superb, and it is really gratifying that he was able to hit the five rings with a pistol for the first time!" Chen Xu was very convinced after a pause.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the success of the immortal family's spell!" A group of civil and military ministers who were standing by and watching began to pat together shamelessly.

"Haha, hahahaha, this gun is really easy to use, I love it very much!" The First Emperor followed Chen Xu's example and blew the barrel of the gun and let out an extremely hearty laugh.

Next, the first emperor fired a few bullets alternately with his two pistols, and after feeling that he was already very proficient, he looked up at the sun in the sky, put the two guns into the holster, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said with a smile: "Noon has passed, I am a little tired, and even the young master and the tired Aiqing are tired, go to the pergola to rest temporarily!" ”

Entering the pergola, a group of princes and princes were all hot and sweaty, many even took off their robes and coats, and fanned the wind while wearing short hexagrams.

This test of the gun made them deeply understand the power of the firearm.

It's not how powerful it is, it's almost effortless, install a tube of ammunition, and then boom, install a tube of ammunition, and boom...... As long as there is enough ammunition, even a child as young as seven or eight years old can shoot continuously, which is completely opposite to the archer who needs to be repeatedly selected and trained.

"Zuo Xiang, do you plan to dedicate this Taiyi God Musket to Your Majesty for training and equipping soldiers!" Sitting on the ground of the pergola, Lu Huan asked Chen Xu excitedly with a musket.

The warm atmosphere in the pergola quieted down suddenly, and even Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but look up at Chen Xu.

"Hehe, Lieutenant Lu has a deep understanding of the convenience of the Taiyi God Musket, but if you want to promote and use it on a large scale in Daqin, in fact, the time is not ripe at the moment, one is that this God Musket is difficult to make, the yield is not high, and the craftsman needs to go through long-term training before he can start to make it, so the cost is huge, it takes more than a month to make this Taiyi God Musket, the material cost is about three thousand yuan, and the cost of one bullet is about twenty yuan......"

"So expensive?" Before Chen Xu's words were finished, there was a sudden exclamation in the pergola, and almost all of the people who spoke were officials who were dealing with money and grain data.

"Yes, all wars are consumption, consumption of food, consumption of weapons, consumption of war horses and grass, consumption of soldiers' lives, consumption of national strength and people's livelihood, consumption of all accumulated wealth, colleagues all know, where a national war down, there are no millions of stone money and food can not support, and the more powerful the equipment, the more the consumption of national strength, when there was no saddle stirrup, the soldier's equipment only leather armor and portable weapons, the cost is not more than a thousand dollars, but with stirrups and saddle horseshoe, the cost rises to more than 3,500 yuan, And if you add a Taiyi God musket and 100 rounds of ammunition, the equipment of each soldier will exceed 9,000 yuan, even if only 10,000 new musketeers are equipped, the cost of equipment alone will exceed 90 million yuan, not including the supplementary maintenance of accessories and ammunition and other expenses, the firearm is a precision weapon, it is easy to damage if it is not well maintained, and it is also very complicated to repair, requiring extremely professional craftsmen, once it is damaged on the battlefield, it can only be discarded and redistributed......"

"There are also such as this Shenwei artillery, a 1,200 catties of fine iron, the cost of materials alone is more than 10,000 yuan, and in order to cast these three cannons, the Academy of Sciences used more than 200 skilled craftsmen for four days, and the labor cost is also very huge, and the Shenwei artillery consumes gunpowder extremely much, loading three catties at a time, plus more than ten catties of a projectile, worth more than 1,000 yuan...... His Majesty and his colleagues watched the artillery firing and practicing the Taiyi God musket, and a total of more than 40,000 yuan worth of ammunition was consumed in one hour! ”

Chen Xu said today's consumption with a pleasant face.

Almost all the officials looked at each other, and many felt parched.

Just crackling for a while, a few laps of mahjong time, more than 40,000 dollars are gone?

Many people don't even feel that they have yet to enjoy it, and some officials who still want to continue enjoying themselves with the fire gun also feel that the fire gun in their hands is a little hot at this time.

Twenty dollars for a bullet doesn't seem like much, but only those who like it know that it is not fun to shoot more than ten shots a day, so it will cost two hundred to three hundred dollars a day, and tens of thousands of dollars a year will be conservative, and Fang Cai Qinghehou also said that the life of the barrel and hammer of this fire gun is not long, about two hundred guns, in order to be safe and sensitive, the barrel and hammer flint must be replaced on time, which is also a lot of expense......

I can't think about it, and when I think about it, the whole person is not good.

This musket is completely different from a bow and crossbow, it is purely a money-paying thing, and the money is gone as soon as the gun sounds, unlike the bow and crossbow arrows, which can be picked up and used again when shot.

"This musket artillery is indeed too expensive, the imperial court does not have the money to equip it on a large scale now, and the matter of muskets will be discussed later!" Qin Shi Huang shook his head calmly and stood up, "It is indeed very enjoyable to watch this artillery and musket god thunder show today, but I remind you Aiqing that this musket and artillery gunpowder are the top secrets of my Great Qin, and no one is allowed to secretly inquire and leak them!" ”

"Your Ministers obey!" All the officials under the pergola hurriedly stood up and gave up their promises.

Under the escort of thousands of forbidden troops and Xuanwu guards in black helmets and black armor, Qin Shi Huang drove back to the palace with satisfaction, and a large number of princes and princes who came with him also got on the car and followed them, and soon the lively and jubilant scene was quiet and deserted, and Chen Xu also commanded the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences and the teenagers of the musket team to start cleaning up the venue.

Today, I took the opportunity to test the gun to take out the gun, which was also decided by Chen Xu after thinking about it for a long time.

Once the artillery is equipped with the Great Qin Navy, then it is actually best to equip the firearms at the same time, if you want to build a firearms force that is invincible in the world at the moment, and become the overlord of the entire ocean, sharp firearms are almost the only choice, only in this way can the warships of Great Qin become invincible and crush the global civilized race.

As for equipping the army, Chen Xu also had ideas, but the army was not easy to control, especially at the critical juncture when the nine-year catastrophe was coming, Chen Xu was unwilling to deal with this inexplicable catastrophe and have a situation that he couldn't control.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Once Qin Shi Huang asked to equip the musket troops, the first thing must be the forbidden army and the nearly 100,000 troops defending the pass, and the forbidden army controlled the firearms, and once Qin Shi Huang died in the future and did not set up a prince, there may be a situation that he was completely unable to control, because almost no one in the forbidden army could touch it, especially the Guards Forbidden Army, which no one could command except the emperor.

But to quickly open up the situation at sea, maintain the security of overseas expansion and overseas trade, artillery and firecrackers are almost the best choice, as Japan, Korea and other places have completely entered the field of vision of the Great Qin people, the development of the South Seas will soon become a hot topic, at most a year, the Taiwan archipelago and Hainan Island islands will be discovered one after another, and the south has a broader sea area and a warm and warm environment, and all kinds of products are more abundant, which will definitely stimulate explorers to continue to explore and expand in the South China Sea, Two years later, it was found that the Philippine Islands should not be a big problem, and even farther through the Strait of Malacca to the Bay of Bengal is not impossible, and the environment and climate of the South China Sea are completely different from the Central Plains, if there is no strong enough firepower to suppress, once the explorer fleet conflicts with the local aborigines, the possibility of casualties is relatively large, which is very unfavorable for the rapid conquest of the South Seas to open the route to Europe and Africa.

Within three years, Daqin's sea ships had to reach West Asia and Africa.

Within five years, Daqin's sea ships must reach the Mediterranean, and use strong ships and guns and powerful force to deter Rome, Greece, Egypt and other ancient Western civilizations, showing Daqin's strong and strong muscles, making Daqin synonymous with strength, forcing these Western countries to surrender willingly, if they are not willing, then beat to surrender, and the Daqin marines, equipped with artillery and firearms, must monopolize all disobedience and escort colonial expansion.

The sea is the primary direction of Daqin's development in the future.

And the land can only be used as a supplement, and at the same time, it can also be used to obtain enough information for the early conquest of the Western countries.

And to the point where it is now, it is no longer meaningful for firearms to continue to be hidden, whether it is the first emperor or the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers and even people, in fact, they are all openly and secretly inquiring about the news about the Taiyi God Musket and Taiyi God Thunder, the longer it is hidden, it will only cause greater suspicion and estrangement between him and the emperor.

The most important thing is that Chen Xu is worried that if he really can't reverse the fate of Qin Shi Huang, the biggest boss, two years later, Qin Shi Huang will die suddenly like a historical event, then the first emperor who has described to the first emperor several times will not be able to see the prosperous and prosperous world of the first emperor who came to congratulate all countries and come to the dynasty, if this wish cannot be satisfied, he is afraid that the first emperor will die very unwillingly, and Chen Xu must speed up for his promise.

Therefore, even if there are many variables in taking out firearms now, Chen Xu can't take care of too much.

There are gains and losses, and nothing can be perfect.

Chen Xu can only try his best to control all the changes in his hands, and he is absolutely unable to be foolproof, many things that even the emperor can't do, let alone a historical stirring stick that he jumped out rashly.

In fact, in Chen Xu's plan, it should be more appropriate to expand the South China Sea a year in advance, but Yu Wuya and others stayed in the Yingzhou Islands for two full years because of the discovery of silver mines, although they gained a lot, but this was not what Chen Xu wanted.

As long as the big ships go to sea and the resources are everywhere, the gold of the West is much better than the silver of Japan!

But in this primitive and barbaric fucked age without telephone and telegraph, even writing a letter can take a year, so Chen Xu can only wait for the invention of looms and bicycles, constantly lowering his hopes, lowering his requirements, and constantly convincing himself, this is the Qin Dynasty, everything is very slow in this era, and the time in later generations is money, but time is the least valuable in this era, from the emperor to the ordinary commoners, every day is slow, because many things are not in a hurry at all, and the more urgent the more angry, Under the influence of this atmosphere, Chen Xu is not in a hurry now.

The pace of world conquest has been slowly arranged for countless years to come.

As for whether the First Emperor can see the dragon flag of Great Qin planted all over the world in the end, it really depends on the luck of Qin Shi Huang, and if he lives one more day, he will have one more surprise.

With the first emperor's guard of honor returning to the city after observing the firearms performance, the people of Xianyang, who were quickly frightened by the thunder for more than an hour, finally figured out the reason, it turned out to be the Marquis of Qinghe who was testing the immortal magic weapon, not only the familiar Taiyi God Thunder and Taiyi God Musket that had been heard before, but also the occasional legendary Taiyi God Artillery, according to the civil and military ministers and forbidden soldiers who went to observe the words, the Taiyi God Artillery was like a nine-day watch, and a boom bombed a palace to smithereens.

Although the entertainment activities of Daqin are becoming more and more abundant, the movements of the Marquis of Qinghe and the First Emperor are still the hottest topics among the people.

And bragging and not writing drafts is also the most significant feature of people chatting in this era, and after countless oral transmissions, one thing becomes a completely different story.

Therefore, in the evening, this kind of immortal magic weapon named Shenwei Artillery by His Majesty the First Emperor has been equal to the power of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, and there is already definite news that this immortal magic weapon that was given the name Shenwei Artillery by His Majesty the First Emperor will soon be equipped on the warship of the Great Qin Sea Division, and the boiling matter of going to sea to make a fortune that has been spread and discussed in recent days has instantly become even hotter, and many people have already decided to hurry to the East China Sea after the Shangsi Festival tomorrow, This also made Xianyang, which was originally lively because of the spring commodity fair, even more restless and noisy.
