The so-called "black technology" tossed by Wang Rui and Ma Ju is actually a weapon for long-range strikes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Rui wanted to attack and harass the coastal areas of the Japanese Kingdom, grab money, food, and materials, and there was no long-range strike weapon, but it was easy to suffer. And he also plans to let his navy rob ships at sea, and without long-range weapons, he can only jump into the gang to fight.

fought bloody battles with these pirates and suffered casualties, but Wang Rui didn't do it. He was still the thinking of later generations of officers, and did not want his army to have too many casualties.

According to the tactical tactics of later armies, the best way to minimize one's own casualties is of course to achieve non-contact combat. And the weapons that can do this, in this era, seem to be the sharpest are muskets and artillery.

Artillery? Wang Rui felt that he couldn't play for the time being. Then only consider the musket!

The Ming army of this era was actually already using arquebuses on a large scale. After Wang Rui arrived at the Fushan Front Office, he found a few from several old officers.

In order to understand the performance of firearms in this era, Wang Rui specially asked a family member who was very proficient in muskets to demonstrate to himself.

This family's operation seems to be quite skillful. However, in the eyes of Wang Rui, a later officer, the whole process still took too long, and the operation method seemed to be very inconvenient.

After about a minute and a half of tossing, the guy finished loading and fired a shot. Although the small lead bullet shot from the musket pierced the wooden blocks fifty paces away, Wang Rui was still a little unimpressed with the arquebus.

In the time it takes to shoot such a shot, the enemy does not know how many arrows he has fired. If you encounter a charge from the enemy cavalry, you will only be passively beaten.

Moreover, the use of such immature firearms will make soldiers dependent on the use of firearms, and after a long time, they will lose the courage to fight with white knives and bayonets. There are countless examples of such battles in the battles between Daming and Jiannu.

The sad thing is that the arquebus in this era still has the shortcomings of being susceptible to wind and rain when ignition, and the fire must be retained when the fire is lit, and the burning arquebus cannot be maintained for a long time.

For example, during the Battle of Salhu, the Western Route Army of the Ming Army saw Nurhachi's Eight Banners Army attacking on Salhu Mountain, and ordered all teams to form camps and wait in line. When the Jiannu army advanced to the bottom of the mountain, they immediately ordered an artillery bombardment. As soon as the battle curtain was opened, the rain and snow suddenly stopped, and heavy fog fell from the sky, filling the valley, and the line of sight was not clear, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us within a few minutes. The Ming army was frightened, and everyone panicked, so they lit pine branches as torches.

This happened to expose himself completely to the Jiannu army. The Jiannu took advantage of the fire of the Ming army and attacked with bows and arrows, and the arrows were not missed, and each shot must be hit.

Although the Ming army had a fire that was easy to ignite the musket, because it was difficult to find the target in the bright place, not only did it fail to hurt the enemy, but it suffered a big loss. In addition, black gunpowder is afraid of moisture, which is inconvenient to use in rain and snow. The battle of Sarhu happened to be sunny after the rain, and when the humidity was at its highest, it was impossible to shoot without drying it over fire.

Therefore, the Jiannu Eight Banners Army became more and more courageous, approaching step by step, and soon attacked the Ming camp and captured the Salhu Mountain camp in one fell swoop. During the Battle of Sarhu, the flaws of the arquebus were exposed.

Wang Rui was a top student in the chemistry department of a key university in the previous time, and he was fully confident that he would independently make TNT yellow powder in this era, and the thundermercury as a firing agent was actually not under his words. However, it will take time.

As a retired military officer and the entrepreneurial owner of a family-owned machinery factory, Wang Rui thought he could still build firearms that surpassed this era.

When his company was running smoothly, he used to secretly make a gun in his own dedicated studio. In fact, it is a rear-loading firing gun, and at the same time, it has also been manufactured with a fixed pointed copper bullet.

This is a rehearsal before the crossing, right? Sometimes Wang Rui wonders if this will be a deliberate arrangement by God.

After crossing over, Wang Rui thought countless times about what kind of weapons his army would eventually equip with. After several sleepless nights of deliberation, he finally decided to go for a replica of the Drezer rifle.

The Drezer rifle is a rear-loading rifle with fixed cartridges invented by Drezer of Prussia in 1835. This type of bullet uses a paper tube as a cartridge case, which combines a projectile, a propellant and a primer. When loading, use the bolt to push the grabbing bullet into the drug choke from behind, and after pulling the trigger, the firing needle on the bolt pierces the paper shell and hits the primer. Then, the primer ignites the gunpowder and shoots out the projectile.

This greatly simplifies the entire reloading and firing process, which can increase the rate of fire by 4~5 times to 1~2 rounds per minute, and the shooter can reload the gun in any position or in motion.

The Draizer rifle showed great superiority as soon as it was introduced, and the Prussian government immediately bought the invention and secretly produced it. It was not known to the world until 1848.

In the Franco-Prussian War, the Prussian army's rear-loading guns gave the Prussian army a great advantage, defeating the arrogant French.

However, the gun that Wang Rui planned to build was to use smokeless gunpowder. If possible, he also wanted to forcibly seize the copper mines of the Wa Kingdom in order to produce copper-shelled guns and bullets.

However, such a bullet could not be withstood by the barrels now made of fine iron. Therefore, Wang Rui also needs to make a lot of steel, and make steel that can make this kind of firearms.

And all of this takes a lot of time to experiment and adjust. Wang Rui doesn't think that if he does it alone, it will be very smooth.

In his mind, if he could build these weapons in two and a half years and equip them in large quantities, he would be awesome!

Yes, you read that right, the time left for Wang Rui is only two and a half years! In the second year of Chongzhen in 1629, Manchu would enter the Ming Dynasty. They will carry out inhumane murder and looting in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, loot anything of value like locusts, and take the children of my Han family to Liaodong to become slaves!

Wang Rui is looking forward to giving the Manchurian Thunder a blow this year, using a one-sided slaughter to teach these beasts how to carry out "people's pig unity"! Of course, it is also reported that Wang Rui used to be polluted by pig's tail braid play every day!

"I made a fucking stupid director and actor to shoot such an ugly pig's tail braid scene!" Every time Wang Rui thought of this, he would scold him with hatred.

However, it would take at least a year and a half before yellow powder, rear-loading muskets, and usable steel could be made.

For a year and a half, Wang Rui didn't want to waste his time in obscurity. In this era when strength determines everything, he wants to kill the Japanese robbers, beat the sticks, and rob the gold and silver materials he needs to develop and grow.

The reason is very simple, if you count on the Ming court, it is mostly "sadness is always inevitable".

What the Ming generals are doing now, such as: what to eat empty salary, what to open a Goolan wine shop, and so on, in Wang Rui's opinion, is completely unable to support a strong iron-blooded army.

Moreover, it is impossible for him to forcibly occupy the land and farm, he does not have the time or the ability to do so for the time being.

Yes, I don't have the ability to do this for the time being! To cultivate the land, you need to have a lot of land, and there will be a huge conflict with the local bureaucracy and gentry. In this strange era of nobility and martial arts, pedantic scholars and powerful and inferior gentry are not what Wang Rui can afford now.

If he wants to develop the strength that determines everything in just two years and half a year, the only way to do it is to develop industry, or go to sea to loot on a large scale!

However, in order to win the battle at sea or in the face of the Japanese invaders, Wang Rui found that his biggest shortcoming was that he did not have long-range combat weapons! This made him feel anxious as if he couldn't use his strength!

The careful Ma Ju noticed Wang Rui's anxiety, and after listening to Wang Rui's embarrassment, he laughed: "Third brother, you, you are usually too capable, and you forgot your eldest brother!" We can't make muskets or artillery for the time being, we can make other militaristic weapons! I'm sure I'll be able to beat those wreaks all over the ground to find their teeth! ”

"Haha! I'm so stupid! Why didn't I think of finding a big brother earlier! That's right, big brother! Aren't you very good at making bows and crossbows? Wang Rui asked with a smile.

Wang Rui knew that Ma Ju was a descendant of the Mo family for generations, and he was very good at bows and crossbows and woodworking tools, so he thought of this place at once.

"Hmm. My Ma family is a descendant of the Mo family, and I am good at making bows and crossbows, so I will naturally be able to make them. Ma Ju nodded.

"That's good, big brother! Shall we start in the afternoon? Wang Rui asked eagerly.

"Hey! The third brother doesn't know, my Ma ancestor precepts, don't pass on the murder weapon to the world! Ma Ju sighed helplessly.

Yes? What with what! Will you make it, will you make it? Awesome, your brother! Is this playing tricks on me? Wang Rui stared at Ma Ju with a pair of big eyes and a puzzled expression.
