Chapter 0359 - A New Cannon
Da Yu'er's temperament is indeed bold and approachable, and her appearance is also beautiful and trembling, which can easily make men tempted, and Chen Biao has even seen Da Yuer's majestic appearance when she is angry when she is doing business, full of momentum, he thinks that only the kind of person who can match this kind of woman is Gongzi, all in all, such a wise, generous and capable woman, Chen Biao finally understood that he was salty and ate radishes and didn't worry about it.

He also had an extra layer of understanding of the character of this Yu'er housemother, and after a long time, he came back to his senses and said, "Then my subordinates will go down and prepare..."
Da Yu'er was interested for a while, her voice was raised, and her tone was a little excited, "Then what are you going to do?" When will the Horqin grassland be captured?! ”
———— "It's your own tribe... Is it so urgent?
"I still have Childe's permission, if nothing else... It won't take a month to take it down! Chen Biao thought about it and said affirmatively.
Da Yu'er was really a little surprised at this moment, frowning and thinking about it, she didn't expect Chen Biao, who had the upper hand not long ago, to be so sure and generous to say that she would be able to capture Horqin within a month.
She didn't understand, but she didn't ask, Ningxia City has very powerful weapons, Da Yu'er has always vaguely known this, and there is also a sign in the house that can freely enter and exit that Sun... The workshop that Sun Cannon led people to put together, but none of them had ever been there, Da Yu'er was a little interested in this kind of thing but didn't think about it, because Ning Zhiyuan didn't want to hide it from them, so Da Yu'er didn't know about it.
She didn't want her curiosity to have a little impact on her current life, because she knew that there were only three or two people in Ningxia who were eligible to enter and leave the workshop freely, and they were only women after all, and no matter how much they were favored by their husbands, they couldn't go to these confidential places to leave others with the notoriety that their husbands regarded military affairs as child's play.
Da Yu'er said 'oh' and looked very happy, happy for Ningxia's strong heritage.
Chen Biao's explanation was half stuck in his throat and did not speak, and then he saw Da Yu'er waving his hand and ordering him to go down, and he also turned around and walked to the backyard, Chen Biao stood in place for a long time, and his heart was clear, and he was in awe for a while.
Having a wife is like this, his own son is a good blessing, having a husband is like this, and it is also a good blessing to be a great mother, which he has never learned, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand, in the eyes of Chen Biao, a rough man, forever and forever is just loyalty first, and women are nothing, because he also knows that it is because he meets just ordinary women, just those women who will tremble when they see themselves and accept it......
In fact, he didn't know that everything was just relative, but in this era of male superiority and inferiority of women, the respect that Ning Daguan gave to those girls touched them even more, so the reward was also multiplied by the harmony in the backyard.
.........
The technical boss in the Ningxia workshop is Sun Yuanhua, who was lost in Denglai because of the anti-thieves who took in Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde, and was released and was ready to go to the capital to die, but he was a technical maniac, so when the Ning officials gave him a lot of his eyes and ran around, sacrificing his life or something, let him complete his ideals first, because he was good at making cannons, so he was called Sun Cannon, he also felt that the name was good, it looked mighty and domineering.
Sun Cannon has been researching and improving these firearms, at first Ning Zhiyuan's first step was to ensure the existing power of the case to make this cannon more secure, after all, the current entire Ming cannon technology is really painful, except for the twenty bottles of imported red-coated cannons, the other is not very useful, the probability of blowing up is too great, you must know that this explosion is not just a matter of a few people, that is, the problem of morale in the war, the problem of firepower imbalance, can completely lead to the failure of the war,... And this explosion is a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is a bit important.
The so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, and Sun Cannon has been living and working happily in Ningxia for several years, and that small problem has been completely solved, so the cannon of the Ningxia Army is now almost free to worry. What follows is a long process of repeated attempts to change the formula, and there is a long way to go, just like Nobel spent a lifetime researching and improving an explosive to kill the whole family and make himself half-dead, this is only successful, unknown I don't know how many people have rushed to death on this road one after another, and Ning Daguan also knows that he can't ask for it.
But the latter is different, because the technology is on the right track, so the process of improving the range is quite smooth, but it has not come in handy after it has been developed, which makes Sun Cannon a little depressed but there is nothing to say, because the newly produced cannon is completely a chicken rib, because the range is a few miles away, but the cost is several times more expensive, and the structure of the shells used is also several times more complicated, but the unit is almost the same, there is really no need, no way, you have to continue to work hard! Therefore, scientific research and innovation is completely a game of shuttling in chicken ribs.
Ning Zhiyuan actually understands this very well, after all, it is a common thing for future generations to commit suicide for hundreds of millions and billions of people to study something that is useless, well, this is the impression of Ning Daguan on those experts and professors in later generations.
Chen Biao accepted the inspection and handed over the token and then walked into the most confidential workshop in Ningxia, although he is a person known to everyone, but the token and the inspection are indispensable, the steps are very strict, here is even more confidential than the treasury of Ningxia and the vault of the Bank of Ningxia, the first two involve tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, and although there are many silver taels invested here, it is not comparable, before and after it is only less than 20 million taels, well, this is just the cost of research, If you count the cost of the cannons and other things that are manufactured, it is more than this number, in fact, the amount of 20 million taels is also very large, the treasury income of the Ming Dynasty for ten years, but it is nothing for Ning Zhiyuan and Ningxia, not to mention that he feels that he just turned the silver to be spent in the future into the money to be spent now.
"Cannon, hurry up and make it... Fifteen new cannons and enough shells should come in handy soon! Chen Biao wandered inside for a while and didn't see anything, and then said to Sun Yuanhua with a big grin.
This is an old man who looks like a fairy, but Chen Biao, who is familiar with him, thinks that it is just an appearance, in essence, he is a technical idiot, half or more of the time in this workshop a day, have you ever seen that old fairy so busy? Are the immortals, aren't they all leisurely, I'm afraid that this Sun Cannon's wife has some opinions, they were screwed down by Ning Zhiyuan before and wanted to reunite with Sun Yuanhua, which kind of reunion is this?
Sun Cannon did not personally forge steel on the front line at this time, but seemed to be seriously thinking about some technical problems, and turned a deaf ear to Chen Biao's words.
Chen Biao was accustomed to it, and then knocked on the table very hard, Sun Dacang did not move, and then Chen Biao took away the paper model in front of Sun Yuanhua, but it was still the same. Only then did Chen Biao realize that Sun Yuanhua was not staring at these things, but his eyes were fixed, and it was obvious that he had been wandering into space.
In a daze, he was still thinking too much Chen Biao didn't know, he only knew that his cannon was in a hurry, so a slap finally woke up Sun Yuanhua.
"What? You said you want to make fifteen new cannons? Sun Yuanhua came back to his senses and asked, then nodded with a happy face.
"————" Chen Biao was helpless, this thing heard what he said clearly? What about the time to sing like this? You have to be slapped to be honest, in fact, if it is not necessary, he really doesn't want to chat with Sun Yuanhua, although he is more honest and easier to bully, but the reaction is too slow, this is obviously not the first time, but although Chen Biao knows that he is slow, it is the first time that he knows that it is so slow, he nodded.
Sun Yuanhua let out an 'oh' and then a smile on his face froze, shaking his head and saying, "No, no, it's not cost-effective to make those things, it's not cost-effective, the price of one cannon is the highest of the previous five cannons, fifteen plus but it will cost at least two million taels... I wasn't told not to make it. ”
Fifteen statues are only conservatively estimated, when Chen Biao attacked Horqin City before, forty cannons bombarded together, but it was not captured for a long time because the other party was also bombing at the same time, and the child was repairing the city wall, so this difficulty coefficient can be imagined, but now I think about it, as long as this new type of cannon is like this, it can only hit others by itself, but others can't hit themselves, which is indeed very convenient.
Sun Yuanhua's categorical refusal was very principled, this workshop was just at the command of Ning Zhiyuan, and some small things didn't matter, but this kind of big thing was not something that could be decided casually, even if he really wanted the new cannon he made to come in handy, after all, no one wanted to spend a lot of silver taels and end up being something that couldn't be used, he felt very ashamed.
The reason why this kind of cannon was not produced before was that other tribes in the grassland did not have cannons, so it was not necessary and could not be used, and after encountering Horqin, Ning Daguan also gave an order to fight a protracted war after knowing the details of the matter, which was due to many considerations, first of all, this is not to cause too many casualties to Horqin, and secondly, it is a matter of silver, under normal circumstances, only fifteen cannons are very scattered, as long as there is enough manpower to repair the city wall, it is not difficult at all, For a tenacious person like Dolgon, it is still necessary to achieve the effect of thirty or forty statues, seven or eight million taels of silver, plus a large number of shells, well, it is not impossible for this battle to come down to nearly ten million taels of silver, this is not a fucked up, fighting a war, especially fighting the grassland, in the final analysis, is to expand the territory and make money, and now it is still a hair.
Chen Biao participated in the whole process of fighting the tribes of the grassland, even if he didn't lead the troops before, he was planning, so he knew the detailed financial situation, because he did not implement the three-light policy at all, but only killed some big families and Mongolian nobles, so the income of the entire grassland so far is more than 12 million taels, and then remove the expenses of the war in the past year, just the military expenditure is four or five million taels, plus the soldiers' military salaries, grain and grass, etc., this is still the Mongolian military salary is not high, and the pension is not much, just kidding, Ningxia is not a good church, it is said that it is ethnic integration, but why treat everyone equally, this is still not too low, it is good to have a surplus of five million taels this year, so if you can receive five or six million taels of Horqin, you will not lose this battle, well, think about why you are so panicked? How is it possible for a Horqin to get half of the wealth of the grassland.
Chen Biao thought that his son-in-law would not make such a decision under normal circumstances, but now it is difficult to say, it is very likely that he wants to bomb the entire city of Horqin, in order to kill the 40,000 Houjin soldiers and Dolgon, after all, he knows that his son-in-law has a strong temperament, and if someone wants to fight the idea of the master's mother, the son-in-law doesn't care so much, but it is a little difficult to convince this old man now.
"Then you can make more cannonballs first, you believe me, anyway, there is a new type of cannon that is your previous sample, and this cannonball can't be wasted, and you believe me, this son's letter will definitely arrive in the next few days, absolutely..." Chen Biao patted his chest and said a little flatteringly, he said more conservatively, he didn't say what Ning Zhiyuan's heart might be, he was not afraid of 10,000, he was afraid of what if, if Gongzi didn't decide like this, he wouldn't have to play, and he would be a little overstepping, no big or small, this is a big crime......
Sun Cannon thought about it, looked at Chen Biao's resolute face, and felt that this idea was not bad, anyway, someone took the blame, and he still hoped to see the power of his cannon on the battlefield......
.........
Da Yu'er was a little distracted, absent-mindedly paced to the big courtyard to find a swing and sat down, just shook and shook, her body rose and fell, she knew that she was like this in her heart, but she could imagine what Dolgon was trying to do, Da Yu'er could almost immediately guess that her sister was just a bargaining chip added by her father Khan, the real purpose was her, what Chen Biao's purpose was She probably knew, just kidding, does her Da Yu's daughter seem to be such a stupid person? Will he marry Dolgon for the sake of the so-called righteousness and the interests of Ningxia? Hehe...
She just felt a little funny, they haven't figured out what kind of person their husband is, too, they shouldn't be interested in those wind and rain stories, if Huang Taiji will study their opponents well, this is the gap, otherwise they shouldn't be so doomed...
Yes, there is no recovery, although Da Yu'er doesn't like that very pit father, can she watch him be killed? Although her words worked, she wouldn't say anything, because who she was, she was a bulbutai...
