"Wan'er, hurry up and let the king of Zhuojun build a long live immortal palace. Now that the production of copper and iron has increased significantly, there should be no problem in building this palace. ”

"Yes."

"By the way, grandson, how much do you expect this palace to cost?" Wu Zetian is still worried about the dialogue fee.

Bu Wu Yanzhi is not worried, because at this time, the labor cost is not expensive, and it actually does not cost money at all, and it is the people who provide labor for free: "Please rest assured, my grandson estimates that it is only seventy or eighty thousand."

However, this Banzai Immortal Hall is made of concrete similar to stone, which is not afraid of earthquakes, let alone floods, and there is no problem in managing it for hundreds of years. ”

"It's good! I see my grandson's picture like Asgard, and I can't wait to live in it! Wu Zetian said.

"Grandmother rest assured, to build these immortal halls, soon, the main materials have been prepared, and the steel bars used, the grandson let Shang Fang supervise the processing.

Today, Xingzhou has used gunpowder to mine iron ore, and the annual steel output has reached 350 million catties. But there is one thing, I ask my grandmother to show me. ”

"Please."

"Grandmother, now that iron ore is mined, the gunpowder technology will definitely leak out. If according to Sun Er's wishes, Sun Er implores to expand the establishment of the Lei Cavalry Battalion, just in case the gunpowder technology is mastered by the enemy, my Great Zhou can be invincible. Wu Yanzhi said what he was most worried about.

When Wu Zetian heard it, he felt that what Wu Yanzhi said was also reasonable. Sooner or later, this gunpowder technology will leak out, but it is not necessarily related to the mining of iron ore.

Now that the Thunder Cavalry Battalion is just a training camp, it has been established for more than a year, and it is time to expand. Thinking of this, she thought about it a little more, and then made detailed arrangements for this matter: "Okay, expand the Lei Cavalry Battalion into the Lei Cavalry Army, with an establishment of 4,000 people, you will be the general of the Lei Cavalry Army, and Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Jiujie will be the generals of the Lei Cavalry Army." The following Zhonglang will wait for others, and I will decide after careful consideration.

In the Thunder Cavalry Training Camp, those captains who perform well can also be promoted and promoted by skipping ranks, you ask them to draw up a list, and I will send someone to evaluate it. ”

"Yes." Wu Yan was very happy one day, if this Thunder Cavalry Army was expanded to 4,000 people, it would be invincible in this era of cold weapons.

Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Jiujie are also famous generals. However, they are not familiar with this firearms battalion at all, and most of the captains and captains under this command are their own cronies, and this time they will let some of them serve as left and right generals.

The top priority at the moment is to get a good grasp of the production of guns, ammunition, and artillery, and organize these 4,000 people to form an army in two to three years.

……

Out of the palace, Wu Yanzhi came to the Lei Cavalry Camp outside the Xuanwu Gate.

He told the news of the expansion of the army to General Yuan Zhonglang and the two generals around him, and the three of them were very excited when they heard it.

This means that the three of them and their cronies have a lot of hope for promotion. Of course, Na Zhonglang will not have a chance to be promoted for the time being, because he is the general of the Lei Cavalry Battalion at the top, and this position can only be obtained by military merit or imperial family.

"I would recommend you guys if I have a chance. When you go to the battlefield to fight, there are also opportunities. I mean, the Thunder Rider Training Camp theme should be kept. Only a part of the people was sent out to form a new firearms battalion.

Moreover, although the total strength of the new firearms battalion is seven, the combat battalion is only five, and there are two battalions in charge of transport and logistics.

In addition, the new and gradual firearms battalions should be organized in stages, striving to form one battalion a month, and the training of officers should be strengthened.

Most captains may be promoted to lieutenants, and lieutenants will serve as left and right generals, and there are many shortages of officers, so they must be evaluated. ”

"Obedience."

Of course, his nephew Wu Shoude will definitely be promoted, and this time he will serve as a Lang general, a five-rank officer. As for the other nephew, Wu Shouping, because of his military merits, he has already served as the general of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion.

Then Wu Yanzhi contacted Xia Guan and asked them to prepare a new camp and weapons, clothing, grain and grass, horses and other things.

Although the Xia lawsuit had not yet received the book from Fengge Luantai, they also knew that it was impossible for Wu Yanzhi to falsely transmit the holy decree, so they had made some preparations.

"Please rest assured, these are not a problem, and the lowly rank must be handled as soon as possible." That Xia Guanlang was very surprised. Theoretically speaking, although Wu Yanzhi is a winter official, it can also be said that they are their chiefs, because they are all within Shangshu Province.

However, they are the former government officials, that is to say, in the winter official division, under normal circumstances, they cannot be directly promoted to the squire, and they must first go to the heavenly officials (official department), local officials (household department), summer officials (military department) and other divisions in the front to be qualified to be promoted to the squire.

So generally things like this are implemented by the winter lawsuit, how can there be a dignified Shangshu running in person!

However, Wu Yanzhi was in a hurry, and he personally came to do it.

……

Shang Fangjian, Firearms Department.

Li ordered to report to Wu Yanzhi on the production of firearms, and Cui Shaojian and Judge Sun were also present.

Because Wu Yanzhi is also the firearms envoy, this firearms department is still under his control, and the envoy is the greatest.

Wu Yan took his report before and nodded slightly: "The progress is still good, the production speed of the musket will gradually increase from next month, and it will be doubled from now."

The rate of gunpowder production will be doubled as it increases, giving the mining site a sufficient amount of gunpowder.

In addition, it is not enough to produce only 20 cannons today. This large artillery was to be according to 80 pieces. In addition, the number of shells should match.

Not only that, but I also developed and designed a kind of artillery, this kind of artillery is out of the time it takes time, you try to develop it first, I hope Cui Gong will support more, the development of this new invention of my artillery, but it needs technology very much. It will take a year or two at the least, or three or five years at most! ”

After speaking, Wu Yanzhi took out a few pictures to show the three of them.

A few people looked at it, and there were three words written on the drawing: "Mortar!" ”

This thing is Wu Yanzhi's last trick, and if this thing is to be born, it will sweep the world. Of course, when this thing is officially used on a large scale, it is not far from being in the position of oneself.

Because this is such a powerful thing, if it is mastered by the opponent, it will be finished for you!

……

Here is an introduction to the knowledge of mortars.

Everyone has seen this kind of weapon on TV and in movies. The simplest and most practical is our common "small steel cannon".

When the Japanese invaded China, this weapon played a vital role. Its flight trajectory is parabolic, and it can be said that there are almost no dead ends.

Whether it is a plain operation or a mountain operation, especially a mountain operation, the power of mortars is very huge.

The conditions for the production of such things are already in place: thundermercury, fuses.

Needless to say, thunder mercury was developed by Wu Yanzhi a long time ago and has been used for a long time.

This fuse is actually a very critical mechanism. Because a clock has already been produced, it doesn't take much effort to produce a time fuse. What's more, Shang Fangjian has so many skilled craftsmen. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
