Chapter 433: Zhang San's Secret Weapon
Zhang San was very satisfied with Wen Huanzhang's expression, and then turned his eyes to Xu Guanzhong, who was sitting there to recuperate, Zhang San was still very jealous of this guy, although he did not show any extraordinary talent in helping Yan Qing deal with business in Shandong, but the situation in Shandong was surprisingly good, and even last month's income exceeded 100,000 guan.
This time he came to Ryukyu Island, he didn't show any surprise, as if he had expected such a result, which made Zhang San feel very uncomfortable, this time Zhang San had five stars in his hand, Zhang San decided to give him one, this star is not only to show Zhang San's divine power, but also to have a star Xu Guanzhong will definitely embark on the road of rebellion.
Zhang San opened his mouth and said: "Xu Guanzhong, now I will make you the chief of the general staff and receive the rank of major general." After saying that, Zhang Sanyi waved his hand, and a star was submerged into Xu Guanzhong's body, Xu Guanzhong immediately looked at Zhang San in shock, Xu Guanzhong's intelligence was originally stuck at ninety-nine points, and Zhang San's star allowed him to successfully break through to the realm of perfection.
This change made him speechless in surprise, and after a minute, Xu Guanzhong clenched his fists with a complicated expression and said, "Obey." ”
After the five generals were distributed, Zhang San then appointed Hou Zheng, Minister of Security, Hu Ge, Minister of Education, Gongsun Sheng, Prime Minister, Le He, Minister of Logistics, Ling Zhen, Director of the General Armament Department, and so on. Then other super-first-class masters were named miscellaneous generals and awarded the rank of brigadier general.
It's just that this large string of officials has been sealed, Zhang San doesn't have a name on his side, Zhang San looked at some of the people present who were very excited, some were calm, some were thinking hard, and some were looking at Zhang San.
Zhang San coughed and said: "Then let's talk about our next plan of action, now the people under our Ryukyu jurisdiction have exceeded 2 million, including 1.8 million civilians and more than 300,000 slaves. With more than 100,000 troops and more than 100 warships, it was enough to build a country. ”
Zhang San looked at everyone and said: "So the next step is to prepare for the founding of the country, and the preparation time is one year, next year in addition to training the army and stockpiling supplies, we will also control the four seas to prepare for the counterattack of the Song Dynasty." ”
Everyone was a little nervous, Zhang San smiled and said: "Don't worry, we won't blindly confront the Great Song Dynasty, and we will strive to become a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty in the year after tomorrow and wait for the situation to change." ”
Xu Guanzhong suddenly asked, "What if the Great Song monarchs and ministers don't agree to us becoming a vassal state?" ”
Zhang San said with a smile: "The Great Song Dynasty monarchs will definitely not agree easily, we will divide it into three steps to make the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers submit, the first step is to plunder the coastal roads of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, to enrich our population, and to harass the sea frontier of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Xu Guanzhong nodded after listening, and Zhang San continued: "The second step is to destroy all the naval warships, destroy all the government-run shipyards, and prohibit all sea ships from going to sea. ”
Xu Guanzhong frowned and thought about it, and then stretched out, Zhang San continued: "After these two steps, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably suffer a fatal blow, and then we are in the third step, sending an envoy to request to become a vassal state, bribing traitorous ministers to fan the flames on the side, then this matter can be done." ”
Xu Guanzhong asked: "There are hundreds of thousands of sailors in the Great Song Dynasty, once a police officer comes out, how can my Ryukyu sailors resist?" ”
Zhang San said with a smug smile: "I have 70,000 Ryukyu sailors, and it will increase to more than 100,000 next year. ”
Looking at Xu Guanzhong's suspicious eyes, Zhang San said: "In March this year, more than 100 ships were gathered on Fujian Road to attack our Ryukyus, and we only sent 30 warships, that is, all the invading enemies were annihilated and there were no casualties. ”
Zhang San saw that it was already noon and said, "Let's go to dinner first, and after the meal, I will take you to see our Ryukyu secret weapon." ”
Everyone walked to the canteen together, and on the way, everyone discussed with each other, all this came too quickly and suddenly, and everyone didn't get used to it for a while, the reason why Zhang San announced the news so suddenly was also to take into account that he couldn't hide it when he arrived on the island, so he simply said it at once, and everyone in the province speculated wildly.
After everyone finished eating, they went to the shooting range of the experimental center, where Ling Zhen had already prepared the first and second generation products of the musket, and several versions of the bronze cannon were also pushed to the edge of the shooting range.
Everyone looked at this strange thing and was puzzled for a while, and Zhang San asked, "Are you ready?" ”
Ling Zhen nodded, and Zhang San said, "Then let's start." ”
First, ten humanoid targets shot at a hundred meters away, each target was wearing the standard iron armor of the Great Song Dynasty, and thirty musketeers in three rows opened fire collectively.
Zhang San explained as he walked: "The first-generation musket has a 100-step hit rate of about 10 percent, and 30 people shoot at the same time, and under normal circumstances, it should be able to hit nine to ten rounds. ”
Several people came to the target, seven targets were hit, two of them were shot, one was hit by three shots, and the remaining four were all shot once.
Zhang San said proudly: "It only takes three months to train such a musketeer, and I, Ryukyu, can produce more than 50,000 muskets in a month and 600,000 in a year." ”
After Zhang San finished speaking, not only the generals inhaled, but even the ministers were so shocked that they couldn't speak, Zhang San led people to retreat outside the shooting range, and immediately someone went to change the target, and after the change, it was these thirty gunners who took thirty new guns and fired another round.
Zhang San took everyone to see it again, and Zhang San explained: "This is the second generation of muskets, after adopting the new process, the hit rate of 100 steps has increased to more than 30%, and 100 steps can penetrate two layers of heavy armor. ”
After saying that, Zhang San took everyone to see these targets, basically from the front and out from the back, shooting a big hole in the armor and the humanoid target inside, and the generals are now beginning to doubt whether their force is really that useful.
Zhang San introduced: The production process of the new gun is only one more process than the first generation, so the output is not much different, but compared with the first generation, the improved gun can only fire ten rounds and then it will become the same as the first generation, so now the second generation is still improving, and it is expected that a breakthrough will be made next year or the year after.
Then Zhang San led everyone to see the reflection of the cannon, the cannon is divided into one-inch guns, two-inch guns, four-inch guns and six-inch guns according to the caliber.
Zhang San nodded and said: "This kind of cannon is divided into the army version and the navy version, the navy version is more powerful with the same caliber, and it will be equipped with the next generation of warships, so everyone can rest assured, even if the Great Song Dynasty attacks with the strength of the country, it will be difficult to shake my Ryukyu in the slightest, but it is his Great Song Dynasty that we want to destroy him but in the palm of our hand." ”21010
