Tang Ruowang glanced at Xu Guangqi, nodded, didn't say anything, he also knew his current situation, and he really couldn't make too many requests. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, a person ran in outside, dressed as a Dongchang fan.

Xu Guangqi looked at the people who came in, and immediately laughed: "Zhang Fushou, why are you out of breath?" What's the matter with your father-in-law? Tell him there's something delicious for me! ”

Cai's father-in-law's name is Cai Mao, who was sent by the Emperor of the Apocalypse to the firearms factory to manage logistics, and he is the old man of Emperor Chongzhen in the Xinwang Mansion.

For this Cai Gonggong, Xu Guangqi is still very satisfied, he doesn't meddle in his own affairs, he prepares whatever he wants, and he does a good job of security. I don't know if I was instructed by Emperor Chongzhen, and I always find myself to eat and nourish myself.

Xu Guangqi really didn't guess this wrong, Emperor Chongzhen personally explained to Cai Mao and asked him to take good care of Xu Guangqi, once Xu Guangqi had a mistake, try to ask him.

"Lord Xu, the emperor is here, Gonggong Cai has already gone to the door to greet him!" Zhang Fushou looked excited, panting and said.

During this period of time in the firearms factory, Zhang Fushou did a good job, Cai Mao clearly told Zhang Fushou that the people in the firearms factory were all the treasures of Emperor Chongzhen, and some people were slightly damaged, and Zhang Fushou's ten heads were not enough to cut off, so he was very polite to all the people here.

The people of the East Factory are responsible for the security work, and the rest is responsible for serving these uncles, which is what the people of the East Factory joke about the people of the Firearms Factory, all of them are uncles, and no one can afford to mess with them.

Xu Guangqi was stunned, the emperor is here? I really didn't expect this, since Emperor Chongzhen sent himself here, he hasn't asked. If it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen giving him two million taels, Xu Guangqi would have thought that Emperor Chongzhen had forgotten about him.

Tang Ruowang became excited at this time, stood up suddenly, and said in a bj tone: "The emperor is here?" ”

Bi Maokang and Xu Guangqi glanced at each other, the two of them immediately laughed, Xu Guangqi patted Tang Ruowang's shoulder and said, "Yes, the emperor is here, follow me to see you, this time your wish can be fulfilled." ”

The group hurriedly left the firearms factory and came to the gate to greet Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi was thinking about how to ask Emperor Chongzhen for money.

At the gate of the firearms factory, Emperor Chongzhen got down from the carriage with the support of Wang Chengen, and everyone quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Ministers welcome the emperor to the firearms factory, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen walked to Xu Guangqi's side with a smile, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Aiqing is in good spirits, I am very relieved!" ”

Sun Chengzong and Wang Zaijin, who were following Emperor Chongzhen, were a little stunned, and looked around, what kind of place is this?

All around are Han generals, ten steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, guarded very closely, and saw a lot of Dongchang fans in the back, and the guards here have caught up with the palace inside. Looking at Xu Guangqi again, Sun Chengzong really knows Xu Guangqi.

Although they didn't know what Emperor Chongzhen was hiding here, both of them saw that this place was unusual.

"Thank you for your majesty!" Xu Guangqi hurriedly said: "The minister lived up to his mission and finally prepared for the establishment of the firearms factory. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then let's go in and take a look, I really want to take a look at Aiqing's achievements, and I hope Aiqing won't let me down." ”

Sun Chengzong and Wang Zaijin both heard it, it turned out that this place was called a firearms factory, could it be that it produced firearms?

With questions in his heart, he followed Emperor Chongzhen and Xu Guangqi inside, and neither of them asked, which seemed to be very tacit.

The group walked a short distance inside, and came to a large open space, and in the position against the wall, there was a row of artillery, ranging from large to small, which looked very imposing. Boxes of shells piled up next to it, looking very solemn.

As for the surroundings, they were all fans of Dongchang, and I saw them pressing their waist knives and looking around vigilantly.

Emperor Chongzhen saw a cannon at a glance, but this cannon was too big, and the barrel was three meters long, and it was placed there majestic.

Without the slightest hesitation, Emperor Chongzhen walked straight to the cannon, stretched out his hand and touched the cold barrel, looked at the thick pipe wall, and said to Xu Guangqi beside him with a smile: "Aiqing, what is the name of this cannon?" Tell me about it? ”

"Back to the emperor, this cannon is called Hongyi Cannon, and it is an imitation of the cannon we bought from Hongyi!" Xu Guangqi smiled and introduced to Emperor Chongzhen, as long as the emperor is interested, then he can manage the emperor to ask for a little more money.

This is the Hongyi Cannon? Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became interested and circled around the cannon.

The Hongyi cannon is very famous in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, it is a kind of artillery made in Europe in the early 16th century, and it was introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty, also known as the Hongyi cannon.

The Hongyi cannon does have advantages in design, the barrel is long, the wall is very thick, and it is gradually thickened from the muzzle to the tail of the gun, which conforms to the principle of high to low chamber pressure when gunpowder is burned. There are cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, and the gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis and change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder; It is equipped with a crosshair and a light gate, and the trajectory is calculated according to the parabola, which is very accurate. Most of the Hongyi cannons are about three meters long, with a caliber of 110 to 130 millimeters, and weigh more than two tons.

"The range of this cannon is very long, if it is placed on the city wall, it can hit ten miles farther!" Xu Guangqi also patted the barrel of the cannon and said with a smile: "It is a very useful cannon for defending the city." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, this kind of cannon is not small from time to time, but it is expensive, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about making too much at all.

It's too heavy, it's too stupid, and with the current mode of transportation, it's too time-consuming and laborious, and it can't be used in field warfare at all. In the face of the opposing cavalry's charge, it is impossible to move, and it is not easy to carry it simply as artillery, but it should be good to use it as a long-range heavy artillery.

"What about this one?" Emperor Chongzhen walked to the other side and looked at the artillery in front of him with interest.

This shape Emperor Chongzhen is too familiar, in his previous life, in many anti-Japanese dramas, Emperor Chongzhen had seen this kind of cannon. It's the kind of earthen cannon used by the guerrillas, which can still be used in World War II, and it should have a better performance in this era.

Xu Guangqi nodded and said with a smile: "This cannon is called the Franky cannon, it is a cannon built and used by the Franky people, and it is also a cannon that the minister advocates to use as much as possible, it is very easy to use and advanced, whether it is the rate of fire or the power, it should not be underestimated!" ”
