When it comes to gasoline drums, what comes to mind?

Well, if you don't usually pay attention to any strange news, I'm afraid the most you think of is that this guy is made of iron or steel.

If no one wants it, I can take it to the scrapyard for a few dollars to spend, or take it home to use as a trash can or as a simple stove to cook.

That's right, this is a common way for ordinary people to deal with it.

However, sorry. Zhu Zilong happened to be in the evening of the modern 21st century in the past few days, and when he was surfing the Internet, he saw a thing that he didn't pay much attention to at the time, but now he saw a gasoline barrel, and there was a related connection.

That is, the legendary weapon of our Red Army was a famous weapon of destruction, a cannon without conscience.

During the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army had very few artillery, and when the weapons and equipment were inferior, the officers and soldiers created a frightening weapon.

Well, in fact, it's something that doesn't have any scientific and technological content, and it directly uses a gasoline barrel as a gun barrel. Then blow up a lot of explosives bags, and after landing, a goddess scatters flowers!

The so-called gasoline barrel is as thick as the caliber, and the strong explosive impact generated by the huge explosive package will blow up the pillboxes and people and horses wherever they pass. Many of the enemies who were blown down often did not find any wounds on their bodies, but they were bleeding from seven holes and were shocked to death.

After all, this explosive projectile has some similarities with the heavy mortars of 200 years ago, used at large elevation angles, with a short range but surprisingly powerful. The captured officers and soldiers of the Kuomintang X Party also had to admit afterwards: "This dirt thing is much more powerful than artillery." ”

The original "conscienceless cannon" was made by Nie Peizhang with a blacksmith using gasoline drums as raw materials. An iron hoop is added to the barrel body to increase strength. The bottom of the barrel is blocked with thick jujube wood, and a projectile chamber is dug out of the jujube wood and drilled to install the fuse that ignites the projectile.

After many tests, it was concluded that the best amount of projectile pack used in the projectile is 6~10 kg, the projectile is 0.5~0.6 kg, and the longest range is more than 300-500 meters!

Don't look at the fact that the cannons of the Ming Dynasty can hit several miles, about 500 meters seems too close.

However, after the explosion of such a projectile pack, all kinds of obstacles within a radius of 10-20 meters can be destroyed or destroyed. Even if the enemy within a radius of more than 20-30 meters on the side is not killed, he will be stunned and completely lose his combat effectiveness.

Compared with 1626, the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin, those fire guns and arrowheads had to be 100 meters or more than 100 meters before they could begin to be powerful.

At 300-500 meters, there was a sudden mass explosion of the goddess. To deliver a fatal blow, you don't need to aim, just bombard and throw it. Just don't be too happy!

However, given the speed of the cavalry, it is estimated that it can only be used once in one battle, and then it will have to be hand-to-hand combat.

Zhu Zilong smiled with satisfaction, touched these special steel gasoline cylinders, and thought to himself, this is much stronger than the gasoline barrels used by our army in 1949, and it will be regarded as a secret weapon at that time, and it will give the enemy a fatal blow at a special time.

In ancient times, heavy mortars were generally fixed in one place and could not move, and even if they could barely move, it would take dozens of cattle and horses to move.

Compared with this kind of steel gasoline barrel that weighs only a few tens to a hundred kilograms, one or two men can carry it around. Hehe, hehe, Zhu Zilong just wants to hehe.

After doing these, the evening of the sixth day.

Zhu Zilong also explained some follow-up work matters to the secretaries and assistants, and waited for the inspection when he came back in 49 days. drove the copycat Zheng He Treasure Boat No. 2 and went to sea at night.

He originally thought that he could go directly to the coastal area near the Yantai waters, but he found that the Chinese navy passed by from time to time in the coastal area and asked for a check of documents. TM's, because of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Titan Monty Python incidents, is now a national copycat in the One Piece era.

The Chinese military also made soy sauce here, so Zhu Zilong had to sail Baochuan No. 2 to the open sea, preparing to turn around and return to Yantai.

It's just that he's passing by here when it's bubbling.

I must not have thought that there were many major events happening in the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Before, because of Zhu Zilong's crossing, as soon as various actions came out and the butterfly effect came out, some history has changed.

It's like the Shanxi earthquake, which was supposed to happen at the end of June, but when he returned to the modern 21st century, it happened suddenly. For a time, the ground shook and countless people were injured.

The death toll is not as high as in history, but there are hundreds, but the number of wounded is several thousand, and countless people are homeless.

The reason for this is that the migration money arranged by Zhu Zilong made most of the officials in Shanxi embezzle, so that Zhu Zilong, the policy of the copycat emperor, was good, but when he arrived at the local level, he became sour.

Nima, this really made the corrupt officials miserable Zhu Zilong!

That's not all, there are even more things that happened in advance.

Mao Wenlong hanged!

That's right, the old man hung up. You must be intimidated, right?

Zhu Zilong obviously did not arrange Yuan Chonghuan to be the number one, and there was a Man Gui in the parallel official position to contain him, and only Mao Wenlong had Shang Fang's sword in his hand.

TM, why did he hang up?

In the original history, Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan a year later, but here, he died a year early.

Looking at the process again, on the surface, Jingran has nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan's original intention? It was an accident, believe it or not?

It turned out that in the past few days, Mao Wenlong was invited by Yuan Chonghuan to hold talks. The reason was that Zhu Zilong arranged to reward Mao's one million taels of military salaries, so Mao Wenlong had to come.

What about talking happily about getting wages together, and then going home to continue the fight against Houjin?

As a result, Yuan Chonghuan talked about it, and he came with a political purpose, and this talk went wrong.

Why did Yuan Chonghuan kill Mao Wenlong? In the mystery cases of the late Ming Dynasty that dazzled future generations, this is also a question that countless history lovers talk about.

Among Yuan Chonghuan's crimes, such as "the enemy of the city", "sneaking a lama", and "insisting on entering the city", all have a purpose that is clear at a glance or understandable, but this "seeking money to kill the commander" is the most incomprehensible, and it has also made countless netizens spray N more saliva.

Some say that it is to firmly control the Dongjiang River, and some say that it is to negotiate with the Houjin and show goodwill to the Houjin, and so on.

It stands to reason that no matter how unruly Mao Wenlong is and how much money and food he wastes, judging from the ecology of officialdom, as long as he Mao Wenlong does not openly defect to the enemy and is still on the side of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan really has no need to kill him.

However, the straight phase is so cruel.

In fact, it is a matter of party struggle, economic interests, and face.

Mao Wenlong guarded Phi Dao, monopolized the smuggling trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin, and also expanded his business to Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. For such a piece of fat, Yuan Chonghuan was very envious.

However, Yuan was in the frontal battlefield of the war with the Later Jin, unable to conduct direct trade, and could only carry out some small smuggling activities through the Mongols, which of course was far from satisfying Yuan's greed.

Coupled with the issue of different party affiliations, how can we open up the situation?

Now Yuan Chonghuan has adopted two moves: one is to negotiate peace with Houjin, as long as the two sides do not fight, of course, direct trade can be carried out. Helplessness and discord are not up to him Yuan Chonghuan. After all, Zhu Zilong has the final say in this matter now!

The second is to break Mao Wenlong's monopoly and catch the smuggling trade.

That's right, that's what he does now. During the talks, the two sides broke down and the black hand was initiated. This time, Mao Wenlong did not kneel down and wait for death, the two sides fought many rounds of vicious battles, and in the end, because this was not Mao's home field. In the end, Mao Wenlong, who had few people, still hung up!

Kong Youde and other subordinates barely succeeded in escaping, and afterwards Yuan Chonghuan gave Mao Wenlong a charge of "slow army" or "collaborating with the enemy", which would be writing a memora to the capital, saying that when he was rebelling against Mao's rebellion, he killed him by mistake!

At this point, history has shifted a little bit, but it has generally gone the same way, and it has begun to distort slightly! (To be continued.) )
