Thinking of firearms, Xiao Ruxun was a little depressed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I think I am in China, the Tang Dynasty began to use firearms, five or six hundred years ago, is the ancestor of firearms, how come to this day, this firearm is not as good as the Taixiyi people? Whether it is a bird gun or a Franco, these firearms are better than the firearms used by me in the Ming Dynasty earlier, and even the ships used by Hongmaoyi are better than the ships of my Ming Dynasty, thinking that Zheng He went to the Western Ocean back then, what a majesty it was, until now, the treasure ship is no longer seen, not even a slightly larger warship, the ship of five hundred materials is actually the largest warship!

When my father-in-law and son-in-law were fighting against the Japanese in Korea, the reason why they were able to defeat the Japanese sailors at sea was not because of how powerful the Daming Naval Division was, but because the Japanese Naval Division was too weak, and the ships were lighter than the ships of the Great Ming Naval Division, so that they could not load the artillery.

But the son-in-law remembered that decades ago, the Hongmaoyi of the Franco machine used those ships that were fast and capable of carrying dozens of artillery pieces to attack my Daming, and my sailors also suffered heavy casualties. Especially the centipede boat, the son-in-law also saw it, it can carry dozens of guns, and it moves as fast as the wind, compared to my old-fashioned ship, it is not only fast, but also has strong firepower.

Decades ago, the Franco-mechanics were able to reach such an extent, so decades later, our Ming Dynasty is still using the firearms and ships of decades ago, and they are still the most elite weapons, and have the Franco-robots improved their ships and firearms again, and can they far surpass the current equipment of our army? If we fight again, will we still be able to win? Every time the son-in-law thinks of this, he can't help tossing and turning, and it is difficult to sleep. ”

Yang Zhao thought about it carefully and said, "Ji Xin, are you worried that you will lead your army south through Nanyang this time, and you will encounter the Hongmaoyi of Franc Ji?" ”

"It should be encountered, those Franco-Japanese people are entrenched on many islands in the South Seas, build cities, enslave the local natives, regard them as their own territory, and have a firm foothold, if the Ming fleet goes south and they have a conflict, the son-in-law is worried that he will encounter unnecessary trouble, his people come from afar, the performance of the ship must be far more than the Ming Dynasty's ships, the Ming Dynasty does not know how sophisticated their weapons are now, I don't know the root and I don't know the low, Rao is the son-in-law has been prepared, and it is difficult to predict the consequences."

Xiao Ruxun said worriedly.

Yang Zhao shook his head.

"Ji Xin doesn't have to worry so much, the old man deduced that the Francois were repelled by us decades ago, and they were already afraid of the Celestial Empire, and they should not commit it again in a short time, plus our army's southward movement this time must be a big fanfare, and the military appearance is majestic, with their ships, they may not dare to provoke our army's tiger whiskers, and our army is not going to crusade against them, so they have no reason to strike at our army."

Xiao Ruxun is noncommittal on this view.

"That's what I said, but the son-in-law thinks that the heart of defense is indispensable, these red-haired people are mercenary, greedy and cunning, and they also hold sharp weapons, seeing my army going south, even if the target is not them, they will be vigilant, the son-in-law does not want to start a war with them, but the son-in-law is really interested in the firearms and ships in their hands, if possible, the son-in-law will try to get the firearms and ships in their hands, especially the artillery, on the battle array, the role of artillery is too great."

Yang Zhao opened his mouth and said, "Ji Xin, is this too dangerous?" They must have kept such sharp weapons properly, how can they hand them over to you for no reason? The main task of your trip here is to pacify the Dongwu Kingdom, and you can't start a war with Hongmaoyi at will, otherwise the outcome is unpredictable, and you will not be able to explain. ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and said: "This little son-in-law naturally knows, the little son-in-law just has this idea, in fact, when he returned to Beijing, the little son-in-law has already started to develop a new type of bird gun, and the little son-in-law has encountered heavy rain in the sky more than once The bird gun cannot be used and damp on the battlefield in Korea, if this kind of thing is put in the land of Annam, it will be more common, and the son-in-law feels that no matter what, he must find a way to come out." ”

Yang Zhao sighed and nodded helplessly: "The ministers of the DPRK and China don't think about state affairs, they just think about coming and going, fighting for each other, and spending all their good time on competing for fame and fortune, which has to make people feel distressed, but this is also a helpless thing, Ji Xin, if you say more, the old man won't say much, you should be careful, don't act without authorization and cause a big incident." ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded, indicating that she understood.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ruxun accompanied Yang Caiyun to breakfast, and asked Yang Caiyun to talk to his sisters-in-law to relieve his boredom.

As early as Liaodong and North Korea, he recruited a group of craftsmen who were willing to follow him, basically blacksmiths, and told them what they knew about the process of producing high-quality and qualified steel, so that they could use the existing technology to slowly explore the technology of mass production of high-quality steel, and create a foundation for the future manufacture of qualified flintlock pistols and heavy artillery.

Xiao Ruxun used to be very interested in firearms, but because he did not have enough military technical personnel, he could only slowly explore the manufacturing method of firearms from books, although he finally succeeded in manufacturing modern firearms, but Daming did not have so much help to him from the abandoned military factory at that time, he didn't have so many equipment, and he didn't know how to make it, he only knew that with the existing technology, if he didn't get qualified steel and qualified springs out first, the flintlock pistol was not even a thought.

It is because he has always been very concerned about the quality of steel, the bad technology and output of the Ming Ministry of Industry in Ningxia he has experienced, in order not to let this group of pig teammates hurt themselves, he had to find his own way, and on technical issues he himself is a second knife, he can talk about it, he can also draw pictures, he really has to do it himself, it is not as good as the blacksmith of the Ming Dynasty, he knows how to solve it, but he can't intervene in the process of solving, he can only trust the blacksmith he collected.

Moreover, without modern tools, it is almost impossible to imitate modern firearms, and it is impossible for him to make the Japanese 38 big cover and Czech style in Daming, so he can only climb the science and technology book little by little, at most use his own theory to add buffs to Daming's climbing speed, and he really can't do the rest.

Therefore, we can only take the old road, from the musket to the arquebus to the flintlock pistol, and after the flintlock pistol, we can use the bolt of the flintlock pistol and cooperate with the primer technology to give new life to the individual musket and completely eliminate the musket of the old era.

In fact, Xiao Ruxun's existence itself is actually a big bug, he knows how to go, how to do, how to guide, which can be faster than those foreigners who are still groping.

Either way, solve the problem of the quality of the steel and the springs, and he will be able to make a flintlock pistol!

With such a wish, Xiao Ruxun arrived at the blacksmith camp.
