Chapter III Military Concept
The beauties of the system are asleep, Zhu Cijiong still hasn't given up, and in the past few days, he has hinted in his heart that he has really become determined and indomitable!
He kept reminding himself: you can't give up, you can't give up, this is a survival task, and if you are not careful, you will die.
Since the beauty of the system doesn't give hints, he can only think of a way by himself, and this ancient attempt to murder a person is nothing more than assassination and poisoning.
So he became extremely cautious, no matter what he was, he would never eat it until others tasted it. At the same time, he also carefully guarded everyone around him, hoping to find out the 'assassin' in advance.
Outcome......
His efforts were in vain.
In addition to the four palace maids who accompany him every day, it is Ren Guifei, and the four palace maids don't look like assassins, this Ren Guifei is his biological mother, so it is even more unlikely that he will die.
In addition to these five people, the only ones who often come to see him are the emperor and Empress Zhang.
Empress Zhang is a big beauty, she has appeared in many travel novels, gentle and virtuous, pure positive characters, how could she kill him?
Not to mention this cheap father, I heard my biological mother Ren Guifei say that my father has a total of three sons, and the other two are hanging, so he is the only seedling left.
There may have been episodes in history when the emperor killed the crown prince, but the cheap father and emperor are such a lone seedling, and it is estimated that he will not be able to do the matter of cutting off his children and grandchildren.
After observing for a while, Zhu Cijiong found that his life was not in danger for the time being, and he finally had time to think about the issue of this dynasty.
First of all, the most crucial thing, why can't the Ming army with hot weapons defeat the Qing army with only cold weapons? This question must be clarified, otherwise even if he becomes the emperor, he will be the king of the dead country.
Therefore, he decided to first study the question of why the Ming army was defeated.
How to study it, it is definitely not okay to ask people, why should a four-year-old child care about this problem? I'm sick! After thinking about it, I can only find a chance to explore it myself.
His body was getting better day by day, and he was able to walk away slowly, Ming Xizong was very happy, and one day he actually sent him a wooden puppet, saying that it was for him to play.
Now Zhu Cijiong seized the opportunity, he glanced at the doll, but he didn't answer, and pretended to say in a milky voice: "I don't want to play with this, I want to play with guns!" ”
Ming Xizong was not annoyed when he heard this, and laughed and said: "Hahahaha, okay, Jiong'er wants to play with guns, and I will make guns for you." ”
This goal was achieved, but Zhu Cijiong was a little confused: "What do you mean to make guns for you, I haven't heard of any emperor who will make guns himself!" ”
The answer was soon revealed, and only two days later, Ming Xizong led a bunch of eunuchs and carried countless wooden guns.
Ming Xizong asked the eunuchs to place the wooden weapons one by one, and sent them away.
Then, he took Zhu Cijiong's hand, walked to the pile of weapons, and introduced the names of these weapons one by one.
What are the abduction guns, thunderbolts, lightning guns, three-eyed guns, five thunder god machines, Franc machine guns, Hongyi cannons...... Judging by his familiar appearance, it is really possible that this gun was made by himself.
Ming Xizong seemed to be very busy, he briefly introduced all the guns, gave a few more instructions, and left in a hurry.
Zhu Cijiong didn't care about the cheap father coming and going at all, he just wanted to see what was going on with Daming's hot weapon, why he couldn't beat the cold weapon.
As a process engineer in a large military factory, he did not dare to say that he was an expert in weapons, but he still understood the basic principles of guns.
There is nothing to look at about the Franc cannon and the Hongyi cannon, they are all made by foreigners, and there has been no large-scale imitation in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
The firearm was the key, and he walked over to the middle of the gun and examined it carefully.
After looking at it for a while, his face turned white, and the more he looked at it, the whiter it became.
He clearly remembered that thermal weapons became the dominant force in war because they far surpassed bows and crossbows in terms of range, penetration, rate of fire, and accuracy!
Look at the models of some wooden guns: the barrel is so short, there is not even rifling, and the range is definitely not as far as that of a bow and arrow!
And this round bullet, how to compare the penetration power with the arrow?
Moreover, these wooden guns turned out to be arquebuses, and it would be good to be able to fire them in an average minute, how to compare the rate of fire with a bow and crossbow?
The most exaggerated thing is that all wooden guns don't have a crosshair, is there any accuracy?
Zhu Jiong only felt a moment of fear, it was difficult to fight the enemy with such a weapon, not to lose!
No wonder the Ming army with hot weapons can't beat the Qing army with cold weapons, what's the use of you using these burning sticks?
Fight other people's infantry, and you can't even penetrate other people's shields.
Hit other people's cavalry, there is nothing to aim at, how can you hit it? You haven't fired two shots yet, and they've already rushed in front of you!
These gunpowder weapons are advanced in concept, but they are less effective than crossbows!
What's going on? Zhu Jiong pondered.
In fact, the science and technology of the Ming Dynasty is not backward in this era, and it is not that there are no talents in science and technology.
In terms of talents, what he remembers alone is:
Xu Guangqi, the first person in China to make and use a telescope to observe astronomy,
Song Yingxing, the author of "Heavenly Creation",
Wang Zheng, the author of "The Illustration of the New System",
Sun Yuanhua, a Western artillery expert,
and Bi Maokang, who made the first flintlock pistol of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no shortage of science and technology, and there is no shortage of talents, why was Daming defeated by cold weapons in the end?
Looking at the guns around him, and then at the Hongyi cannon not far away, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally figured it out.
European countries tried their best to apply science and technology to military affairs, and then almost conquered the whole world with strong ships and artillery. The Ming Dynasty did its own thing, and there was a serious disconnect between military and technology, and was finally conquered by a group of barbarians with cold weapons!
To put it bluntly, the industrialization of science and technology has not been realized, and it has not been done when it is thought of and used when it is made, and it has never thought about improving it according to the situation on the battlefield, let alone how to bring into play the advantages of thermal weapons.
This problem is actually very easy to solve, provided that he succeeds to the throne as emperor, as long as he becomes emperor:
Xu Guangqi, what other astronomical telescopes are you studying? Hurry up and give me a military telescope.
Song Yingxing, what kind of "Heavenly Creation" do you study? Hurry up and give me a "Military Industry Opening".
That Wang Zheng, you don't want to study those useless old-fashioned equipment, I will buy you a few imported equipment, you can study it carefully.
And that Sun Yuanhua, aren't you an artillery expert? I'll build you a research institute, and you'll have to think about how to increase the range and destructive power of artillery.
As for this Bi Maokang, aren't you working on a flintlock pistol? Come to me, I'll draw a drawing, and you'll be able to make it in no time. Don't wait until I'm going to die before you do it, it's too late.
The more Zhu Cijiong thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but think of the knowledge of the military industrial system that the survival and glory mission rewarded him, judging from the first reward, this system gave the most advanced military technology in the black powder era.
Don't look at the optimal ratio of black powder is just a set of simple numbers, you really have to experiment slowly, at least it will take decades to get this set of numbers.
With the most advanced technology and talents in all fields, are you afraid that you will not be able to create advanced weapons?
The only thing he has to do is to establish a perfect military industrial system in reality, from research and development to experimentation to process to mass production, and establish all links, then advanced weapons will flow out like flowing water.
He remembered the latest flintlock pistol he had bought in the game, what was that concept?
The firing range is 500 meters, the shield can be penetrated within 300 meters, and the rate of fire can reach a terrifying five rounds a minute using the latest bullets, plus the most advanced aiming system of this era, one dozen and one accurate.
In this era, such a gun is a human meat harvester, and after a few rounds of guns, the enemy will definitely fall down piece by piece like a wheat harvest.
If he is allowed to build tens of thousands of such guns, will the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops still be able to turn the sky upside down? They can't find the north if they can fight in less than a year.
Thinking about it, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but smile, and he said proudly in his heart: "As long as I become the emperor, as long as I establish a military industrial system, this world will definitely be conquered by me, and this history will be rewritten by me." Come on, the glory that belongs to my Daming!"
Ren Guifei on the side looked at him like this, and couldn't help but think worriedly: "What's wrong with my baby son, he smirked inexplicably, he didn't have a good brain!" ”
