Chapter 240: Fire Discussion
Listening to Yang Quan's question, Hao Zuozhou smiled bitterly, "My lord, do you really dare to think that if this bird gun can also be made in our Xuanfu border town, how can we not even have a handful in Xuanhua Town?" For no other reason, this thing is too cumbersome to make."
Yang Quan frowned, "What do you say?" Since this thing was made by our Ming Dynasty, and there are craftsmen in Xuanzhen, why can't it be made? ”
Hao Zuozhou saw Yang Quan angry, and hurriedly explained, "It's not that the people below push and drag, but it really can't be made, Xuanfu has not sent new guns to the border since the year of the Apocalypse, and the ones distributed by the Ministry of War are nothing more than three-eyed guns and the like, at most they are the Lu Mi guns of the fire rope, but this Lu Mi guns are made by our military department, most of them are of low quality, according to the amount of medicine said by the Ministry of War, ten guns and nine explosions, our Xuanfu army has been equipped with this gun for several months, and it has not hit a single Tartar, but it was blown up and injured many brothers during training. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so no one in the Northern Army wants to use this kind of weapon. As I once said to my lords, the Northern Army does not like birds, in addition to the strong wind that is easy to blow away the gunpowder in the medicine pool, and it is easy to dumb fire, the inferior firearms made by the military department are also a reason why the northerners are reluctant to use guns. ”
Hao Zuozhou said, looking at Yang Quan's soothing expression, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "There is no precision firearm like the bird gun in the border town, and the craftsmen in the army under him slowly only know how to serve such a simple firearm as the three-eyed gun, and most of them can't do it anymore for such a sharp weapon as the bird gun, and those craftsmen said that with the ability of our Tuntian Division now, don't say that we can make hundreds of bird guns, that is, the stainless steel used for the barrel of the bird gun, and our Tuntian Division can't do it." ”
Yang Quan looked at Hao Zuozhou and couldn't help but smile bitterly, in this era, there is already an army with hot weapons, how easy it is to talk about it! What is synonymous with a modern army of thermal weapons? That's the money! Without money, everything is! Yang Quan is still too anxious, now he has no wealth that rivals the wealth of the country, no huge mineral deposits for him to mine, and the road is still unstable, but he wants to run, isn't he joking? It's too hasty, it's too hasty.
Yang Quan stretched out his hand and pulled Hao Zuozhou up, "Get up, I'm a little too anxious, I'll go over and talk to you and your uncle first, and you continue to be vigilant." ”
After speaking, he led his team and walked towards the camp where the firearms team was located, the number of ideological classes held a few days ago was a little frequent, and Yang Quan's team was vying to go out for training one by one, and in the end, even Hao Fugui's firearms team was known for its long-distance march with artillery. Now the Shangbao Fort where the Tuntian Division is stationed, except for the team in charge of Hou Qi's guard, which was not brought out, the rest of the soldiers of the Tuntian Division have hidden.
From a distance, Yang Quan saw that Hao Fugui had already come out, and it could be seen that these guys were not lazy when they hid out, and they should still train often, just the shiny copper cannon on the ground, you can know the training intensity of this group of people.
"My lord, my subordinates are late to greet you, please atone for your sins" Hao Fugui looked at Yang Quan, who was striding over, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Yang Quan waved his hand, "Don't be so vain, come, you follow me into the tent, I have something to ask you!" ”
Hao Fugui glanced at the guards standing behind Yang Quan, his eyes were full of inquiry, those guards shook their heads, Hao Fugui followed Yang Quan to the military tent in confusion, Yang Quan frowned, and looked at the tiger squat cannon placed in the corner of the tent, "Fugui, you have also seen those bird guns, if this weapon collides with our three-eyed gun, how sure are we of victory?" ”
Hao Fugui glanced at Yang Quan, but Yang Quan's tense face did not have any expression, so that he could not see clearly, Hao Fugui had no bottom in his heart, so he had to shake his head, "If our configuration is now, without using cannons, I am afraid that our team can only be pressed and beaten by others, after all, the magic machine and even the three-eyed gun are not comparable to the range of the bird gun, but in the humble position, the adults still think too much, in the Ming Dynasty, the army equipped with those bird guns as well-equipped as those birds, it can't be said that there is none, but it will definitely not be a large amount of equipment,"
Yang Quan glanced at Hao Fugui: "You said that this kind of fire gun will not be equipped in large quantities?" Why is that? ”
Hao Fugui said with a smile, "Adults may not know, this kind of bird gun is excellent, but a fire gun like this can be worth more than a dozen magic guns, you say that now we are Ming or Manchu Tartars, which side has the strength to equip this kind of money-burning weapon?" Even if someone is equipped, the price of this kind of gun is destined to be not equipped on a large scale, and the maintenance of this kind of gun is much higher than that of the three-eyed gun, and the cost of a single maintenance is not something that ordinary troops can afford. Even if you take a step back, someone can withstand this kind of consumption, but the training of this warrior clan will still be very troublesome, after all, this firearm is still a bit cumbersome to operate compared to the three-eyed gun."
Yang Quan shook his head, for Hao Fugui's words, but he didn't care, said that the equipment was not up, during the Qing Dynasty, although the rate of firearms equipment in the army declined, but the firearms equipped in the army, from the dazzling firearms of the Ming Dynasty, gradually unified into the bird gun, that is, the old-fashioned breech arquebus, however, although the Qing people were equipped with firearms, but they were rarely improved, the muskets in the early Qing Dynasty and the muskets in the late Qing Dynasty, there was no fundamental change, far less than the Ming Dynasty period of firearms.
Since the Qing Dynasty can be equipped with bird guns, it should not be a problem for the Ming Dynasty to equip them. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the artillery equipment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not low compared to the Ming army, but the artillery in the Qing army is only concentrated in the Han army flag, and it is still in the army of Kong Youde, most of them are red-coated cannons, and small artillery is indeed not much. However, now that my own strength is equipped with these firearms, it is a little unbearable, but I have to take precautions. In the future, there is a great chance that he will face the Manchu Tartars, and if he is not prepared, he will really suffer a big loss. And even if you can't equip yourself with firearms now, it's time to start thinking about the long-range firepower configuration, otherwise your own team is really on the battlefield, where do you let the soldiers stand, waiting for the other party to use bows and arrows to name them?
Thinking of this, Yang Quan also knew that he could talk to Hao Fugui alone, but he was afraid that he would not be able to discuss anything, after all, one person was short and two people were long, and the three stinkers were still Zhuge Liang, and the people under his own hands were not stinkers!
"Hao Guan team, I'll go back to Shangbao Fort first, you will send an order to the other squads, order all teams, be sure to return to Fort before sunset, all the team will be in charge of the team tonight, all will have a meeting, and those who delay will be engaged in military law!" After Yang Quan finished speaking at Hao Fugui, he walked out of the house without looking back, called the guards around him, and galloped towards Shangbao Fort! (To be continued.) )
