No. 0727 Research and development of firearms

Lin Feng led the Jinyi guard back to the capital, and rushed all the way to the imperial city, Ming Emperor Zhu Yunwen was naturally happy to get the news, and actually personally brought the minister out to greet him, this kind of formation is absolutely unprecedented.

Qi Tai behind him had a gloomy face, he didn't expect Lin Feng to come back suddenly, this time, Lin Feng was out of the limelight, in a year, not only defeated the Japanese who invaded the Ming Dynasty, but also led the battlefield Yang Wei at the sea of the Ming Dynasty.

The gate of the imperial city opened, first a team of guards ran out, and then the eunuchs in the palace, Lin Feng stood at the door, and did not react for a while, until he saw a familiar figure, at this moment, Lin Feng and the others quickly knelt on the ground.

It was Zhu Yunwen who came, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even Lan Yu, the general who swept away the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, had never received such courtesy, and Lin Feng was the only one in this kind of thing.

"Lin Feng, knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

The Jinyi guard behind him also shouted, Zhu Yunwen smiled, since Lin Feng led the troops to leave that day, it has been a year and a half, it is undeniable that if Lin Feng hadn't rescued him several times, this throne would have been given to others a long time ago.

From this point of view, Zhu Yunwen is not only important to Lin Feng, but also grateful, because of the events of the year, a young imperial grandson, in the face of the powerful kings, how helpless he seemed at that moment, it was Lin Feng who told Zhu Yunwen that he should be strong to face all the difficulties in life, because only in this way will those seemingly sufferings disappear.

"Lin Aiqing, please get up quickly."

Zhu Yunwen supported him with both hands, Lin Feng stood up, and Qi Tai behind him squeezed out a smile and stepped forward, "Lord Lin, I haven't seen you for many days, but I want to kill Qi Tai." ”

"Lord Qi is worried, Lin Feng's fault."

Qi Tai laughed, everyone walked around Zhu Yunwen, the Ming envoy had already told the battle and experience in the main hall, this battle was really uplifted, at that moment, the ministers below all shouted long live.

"Firearms?"

Above the main hall, Lin Feng said his thoughts, at this time, the six Shangshu are there, with these people nodding, many things are easy to do, of course, what is most needed is Zhu Yunwen's support, Lin Feng knows that the sooner this matter is, the better, only with powerful firearms can he resist the army of King Yan, this is the only way, King Yan is far more terrible than King Jin ten times or even a hundred times, in front of King Yan, the defenders in Zhu Yunwen's hands have no power to fight back at all.

Qi Tai rolled his eyes, and he didn't guess the meaning of Lin Feng continuing to build firearms for a while, of course, one point, Zhu Yunwen would definitely agree to this matter, since this is the case, why not give a favor.

Qi Tai made up his mind to step forward and salute, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Lord Lin's plan can be implemented, and if the soldiers are strong, the world will be safe, and the country will be rich and the people will be prosperous." ”

Qi Tai is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he also entered the cabinet, at this time, the six departments are almost a nostril out of the air, all they see is Qi Tai's face, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households and other scholars have stepped forward, the statement is almost the same as Qi Tai's, on the surface is to support Lin Feng, the real intention is to make a stand, the six departments are on Qi Tai's side.

Zhu Yunwen nodded, "Lord Lin, the internal strife has been calmed down, the external troubles have been eliminated, and the people's livelihood should be developed, why do you want to refine a large number of firearms?" ”

Lin Feng bowed down to give a salute, and there was no need to hide it at this time, "Your Majesty, Lin Feng has a hunch that there will be turmoil, and the scale will be higher than that of King Jin." ”

"Is that true?"

Zhu Yunwen stood up from the dragon chair all of a sudden, and the ministers in the main hall also showed surprise, they couldn't believe that the scale of the rebellion of the Jin King had exceeded the scope of the imperial court's troops, if it was ten times or even a hundred times, they didn't dare to imagine it at all.

Of course, these are just Lin Feng's words, and it is inevitable that there will be a deliberate exaggeration in order to achieve the goal, which Qi Tai knows well, and Zhu Yunwen is not stupid.

Lin Feng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please believe Lin Feng." ”

Zhu Yunwen sat down slowly, "Quasi-play, from today onwards, the six departments will cooperate with Jinyiwei to build firearms, but if there is a trace of delay, the same crime will be punished." This is Zhu Yunwen's trust in Lin Feng.

This trust comes precisely from the prophecy of that time, at the beginning, Zhu Biao died of illness, the prince's mansion mourned, almost everyone thought that the prince's mansion was over, and there would soon be a new lord to live here, at that moment, the former ministers of the prince's mansion took refuge in several people who were expected to become the next prince, Lin Feng stood up and said something like that in front of everyone, and the prince Zhu Yunwen would be established as the emperor's grandson.

Things really reversed, and soon, Zhu Yuanzhang announced this decision in the main hall, at that moment, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, since they are all emperors' grandsons, why are they named the emperor's grandsons, there is only one more prince between the prince and the crown prince, and the status becomes completely different, at that moment, it was Zhu Yunwen who was even more shocked.

I really didn't dare to have such a luxury, and I was also curious, why Lin Feng would make a judgment in advance that day, and then find the lost edict, even if it was the rebellion of King Jin, it was also the news that Lin Feng sent back in advance.

Zhu Yunwen believed that Lin Feng had an ability that ordinary people did not have, and could predict some special things, including possible threats, so the moment Lin Feng proposed to manufacture firearms in large quantities, Zhu Yunwen almost did not have any consideration.

Ministry of Industry

Several craftsmen took the drawing handed over by Lin Feng, on which a few strange firearms were drawn, and the weapons of the Ming Dynasty had a great development. Its main cold weapons include long-handled knives, guns, short-handled long knives, waist knives and various miscellaneous weapons such as palladium, horse forks, wolf knives and so on. In addition to inheriting the traditional varieties of weapons, firearms in the Ming Dynasty developed to their heyday. There are many varieties of tubular firearms and complex forms. At that time, the manufacture of jet firearms (ancient gunpowder rockets) has been quite sophisticated, and there are many styles, according to the historical records such as "Fire Dragon Artifact Formation" and "Wubei Zhi", the types of rockets used here are single-launch rockets, multi-salvo gunpowder arrows, multi-gunpowder cartridge parallel rockets, winged rockets, multi-stage rockets, etc., and there are dozens of varieties of rockets. Due to the vigorous development of firearms, the Ming Dynasty army was generally equipped with firearms, and the main weapons of war turned to the use of firearms.

Although the firearms of the Ming Dynasty have been greatly developed, the process is still extremely limited, Lin Feng this time is to increase the number of firearms on the basis of the Daming firearms, by increasing the way of the guns to achieve the purpose of multiple shots, because there are three guns in front, also known as three-eyed guns, can send out three firearms at one time.

This kind of continuous weapon has a long history, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang invented the crossbow, is a kind of combat weapon with multiple shots, the three-eyed gun is the same method, Lin Feng believes that with the craftsman technology of the Ming Dynasty at this time, it can be completely realized.

Underneath the three-eyed crossbow is an iron guy with a unique style, with an iron block on top and a wooden handle on the bottom, with a line on the side of the wooden handle.

Several of them were the most experienced officials of the Ministry of Industry, and they couldn't help but ask when they looked at the things on the picture, "Lord Lin, what is this?" “

"Hand grenades."

At this time, some people may say that this is nonsense, how could there be such a thing in the Ming Dynasty, don't forget, Lin Feng is from the modern era back in time, and he is a special soldier, and he is fully capable of making some firearms with amazing lethality by himself. The appearance of the bomb was really in the 15th and 16th centuries in our country, and then spread to the West, so even if Lin Feng took out the drawings of the hand grenade, it would not be too much.

Of course, with this thing, the entire battlefield pattern will be completely controlled by Lin Feng, and those fierce infantry can only die in front of these powerful firearms.

Lin Feng took a pipe cast of pig iron, then stuffed it with explosives, and then blocked it with a wooden handle, one of the leads stretched out from it, and carefully took these to the courtyard of the Ministry of Engineering, and then lit the fire line.

The line of fire spat out the fire, at that moment, everyone quickly retreated, this was the first time Lin Feng made firearms in Daming, in fact, the principle of firearms is very simple, that is, to use the lethality of explosives at the moment of explosion.

Bang, the gunpowder in the iron pipe was ignited by the lead and made a loud noise, at this moment, those people in the Ministry of Engineering nodded again and again, the method of this firearm is somewhat similar to the fire thunder, the fire thunder has been gradually developed in the Ming Dynasty, the material is different, which is mainly stone, ceramics and pig iron.

The most strange thing is why a wooden handle is left in the back, wouldn't this increase the weight and volume of the firearm, Lin Feng seemed to see the doubts in the eyes of those people.

The second grenade and bomb were quickly ready, this time, Lin Feng Lin Feng actually held it in his hand, this kind of action frightened those people in the Ministry of Industry, everyone knew the power of this thing, especially the pit that had just been blown up on the ground.

Although the burning speed of this fuse was very fast, Lin Feng was absolutely sure that he could throw it out before it triggered the explosive, Lin Feng opened the fire fold, and at that moment, everyone held their breath.

I saw Lin Feng's body bend down, and then throw it violently, the thing crossed a graceful arc and then fell to the ground, exploding with a bang when it landed.

"Wonderful."

The eyes of those people in the Ministry of Industry suddenly lit up, the nature of the work of these people is somewhat similar to that of the current designers, what they do is the work of invention and creation, and it is the first time they have encountered such a powerful firearm, which is not only amazingly powerful, but also can control the position of the firearm at will through the arm, which is a huge breakthrough.

"Lord Lin, we understand."

Lin Feng smiled, just now it was just a demonstration, it is not so simple to really sit up, in order to be easy to carry, it is best to hide the lead in the wooden handle, which requires hollowing out the middle of the wooden handle first, and to ensure that it can withstand the force generated when the hand is thrown out.

Then you can stuff it inside, light the fuse when you use it, and then throw it out desperately, which is the basic principle of hand grenades and bullets. Lin Feng pointed with his fingers, and several people nodded again and again, worthy of being the elite of the Ministry of Industry, and quickly figured out the essence inside, clanging, and quickly made one according to Lin Feng's requirements.

The appearance is already very similar to Lin Feng's requirements, and what we have to do now is to test whether this thing created by Daming craftsmen meets the standards.

"Anyone wants to try?"

At this time, Lin Feng couldn't put himself in danger, "I'm willing." Lin Feng looked for the voice, it was actually a person from the Ministry of Industry, that person should be not much older than Lin Feng, and he could enter the sixth department, if he was not a relational household, he must be a capable person.

"Be careful."

Lin Feng and the others quickly stepped aside, and the man clenched the firearm he had just built, the thing called the hand, grenade, and bullet, and then resolutely lit the fire, and the lead burst out of the flames, and almost at the same time, the man's arm was thrown out.

There was no explosion sound that Lin Feng wanted, the first firearm was declared a failure, and time passed little by little, several people from the Ministry of Engineering ran over, and then quickly pulled it away, the gunpowder inside was not ignited by the lead, and without the support of gunpowder, this thing became a useless iron rattle.

"Lord Lin, how can this be."

In fact, there are a lot of things like firearms, unlike ordinary weapons, almost everyone can build them, and the filling of gunpowder is originally a very dangerous thing, and if you don't get it, you will explode.

There is also the plug below, if it is too loose, the gunpowder is likely to be exposed and affect the final power, and if it is too tight, it is very likely to press the lead inside and cause failure.
