Chapter 318: Everything is Difficult at the Beginning

The Southern Song Dynasty already had firearms, the first year of Tianqing, that is, in 1259, there was the world's earliest firearms: assault rifles, but unfortunately the firearms of this era, the efficiency is too low, the so-called assault rifles, the barrel is not an iron pipe and a steel pipe, but a bamboo tube, the middle of the expansion part is the powder room, the back section is the wooden stick held by the sergeant, the assault gun is not a bullet, it is tied with a bow and arrow similar to a firecracker, after igniting, with the thrust of gunpowder, the bow and arrow are launched.

Wu Shaogang had actually seen this so-called assault rifle, and he felt that this thing had no practical effect at that time.

The firing of the assault rifle can be fired at most twice per minute, and in the face of the fierce cavalry that comes like a hurricane, I am afraid that the assault rifle will be wiped out by the opponent before it has time to fire.

In addition, the main function of the assault rifle is not to shoot the opponent directly, but to play the role of ignition, using the firing of the assault rifle to make the opponent's clothing or equipment burn, so as to reduce the opponent's combat effectiveness.

As for talking about artillery, there was no strict artillery in this era.

There is a so-called iron fireball, or called the earth-shaking thunder, which is a kind of iron fireball made of pig iron, with a shell thickness of two inches, which is not fired by artillery, but is launched by a trebuchet, with a very low accuracy rate, and later in the siege battle, it developed into an iron lock to hang the iron fireball, so that it explodes in the opponent's camp.

When the iron fireball explodes, the sound is very loud and deafening, and the fragments of the iron shell that are scattered and flying in all directions can also produce a certain lethality, but the effect is also not obvious.

This so-called iron fireball, when fighting between Mongolia and the Jin State, is used many times, and its effect is average, and the Great Song Dynasty army also occasionally uses iron fireballs, but it is too troublesome, and its power is not as good as bows and arrows, so there is no focus on development.

Since Wu Shaogang was thinking about developing artillery, of course he would not pay attention to the assault rifles and iron fireballs that exist today.

However, since there has been a situation of using gunpowder to fight, Wu Shaogang will focus on it and use his own understanding to develop a powerful artillery.

If you want to invent artillery, it is by no means as simple as you say, it can be said that Wu Shaogang has nothing at hand.

Artillery thousands of years later, this era will never appear, not to mention anything else, at least now there is no steel, and seamless steel pipes are even more impossible, and the manufacture and invention of artillery can only use pig iron or wrought iron.

Pig iron and wrought iron are both extremely expensive things, after all, iron smelting is not so developed.

In front of Wu Shaogang is a difficult problem that seems to be ascending to the sky.

But since you want to dominate the world, think about defeating the most courageous Mongolian iron cavalry, then you have to find another way, if you always want to rely on the way to train special forces in the previous life to train brave cavalry, and confront the Mongolian iron cavalry, on the one hand, there is too late, and the second aspect is also an unrealistic fantasy.

For two days, Wu Shaogang was alone in the room, no one was allowed to disturb him, and he drew a lot of patterns with a brush, which were all artillery patterns.

The principle of artillery is almost the same, that is, the use of gunpowder combustion pressure to push the projectile, its composition is mainly the gun body and the gun carriage two parts, of which the composition of the gun body is the most critical, including the barrel, the gun tail and the gun latch three parts, the gun carriage with the development of the times, gradually progress, the gun carriage after a thousand years, including the anti-recoil device, the direction machine, the high and low machine, the aiming machine and mobile equipment and so on.

The development of artillery has also experienced many twists and turns, and the earliest real artillery appeared in the early Ming Dynasty.

The artillery that first appeared fired solid bullets, that is, the large iron ball fired, and through the push of the artillery, the large iron ball generated a huge inertia, which could give the opponent a devastating blow.

The most critical problem is that it is difficult to grasp the time of the explosion of the flowering bomb, sometimes because it is difficult to control the combustion of the fuse, it explodes in the air just after launching, and may even be because of the mistake of the sergeant, resulting in the flowering bomb can not be launched, and it explodes in the barrel, causing damage to itself.

As an instructor of the special forces, Wu Shaogang is aware of all this, using the technology of today's era to invent an artillery that produces solid shells, which is already a miracle, as for the more lethal flowering shells, it is something that should not be thought about.

Wu Shaogang will not be ambitious, if he can make a real cannon that fires solid bullets, then thank God.

When Wu Shaogang walked out of the house, Hao Jing, Cai Siwei, Huang Jiaming, Cao Wengang, Wu Shaozun, Wu Shaowu, Li Run, Li Chensun and others were all waiting outside, they didn't know what Wu Shaogang had done in the house in the past two days, and they were very worried.

It is the alternating season of spring and summer, the climate is very pleasant, at this time in previous years, if it is leisure, many dignitaries and nobles will go out to hunt, spring hunting can not only be recreational, but also a kind of personal exercise, but with the spread of the war, this hunting action gradually decreased.

Seeing the people standing outside, Wu Shaogang smiled.

"Mr. Liu, where did they go, why didn't they come to the Yamen?"

Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang and was a little surprised.

"My lord, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Rou and others have not yet been allowed to enter and exit the Yamen at any time."

Wu Shaogang patted his forehead and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I've been thinking too much about things in the past two days, but I've forgotten about this stubble, by the way, Shaozun and the others can't continue to stay in the Yamen, it's time to go out to practice, how is this matter arranged."

Huang Jiaming on the side immediately stood up.

"Report to your lordship, it has been arranged, just wait for your lordship to decide."

Wu Shaogang nodded and walked towards the courtyard in front of him, and the rest of the people followed behind.

While walking, Wu Shaogang spoke to Hao Jing.

"Mr. Hao, I think that from tomorrow, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Rou, Zhang Hongluo and Zhang Hongfan and others have all entered the system to make the yamen do things, Zhang Rou and Zhang Hongfan focus on military matters, Liu Bingzhong and Zhang Hongluo are focused on people's livelihood matters, Zhang Rou is old, it is no longer appropriate to continue to run around in the army, just study more military deployment matters, I know you have questions about this aspect, Zhang Rou has always been a leader in combat, rarely specializing in strategic matters, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, However, there is one point, Zhang Rou has experienced countless battles, recalling the situation of every combat deployment, as well as the situation of the battle, this is always possible, and we can also find out the laws of the Mongolian army's operations through these things... ”

Hao Jingting's eyes lit up, this is indeed a very good way, and he can understand the combat habits of the Mongolian army very well.

Soon, the group came to the front yard.

The system divides the yamen into three courtyards, the front yard is the place where official affairs are usually performed, the middle courtyard is the place where many officials work, and the backyard is the place where Wu Shaogang is alone, there are not many people who can directly enter the backyard, and the people who just stand outside the courtyard can go directly in, and the backyard is also the place where Wu Shaogang and everyone discuss major decisions.

In the lobby, there are a lot of paperwork on the table.

In just two days, a lot of paperwork has been accumulated.

Everyone stood at the bottom, and Wu Shaogang flipped through many documents at the fastest speed, all the documents that needed to be read in detail were placed on the right, and the documents that only needed a little look were placed on the left.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the documents were read, there were very few documents on the right, most of them were placed on the left, Wu Shaogang, the Sichuan envoy, mainly considered big things, some specific matters, Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming and others all dealt with, and he didn't need to worry about it specifically.

Looking at Wu Shaogang's rapid movements, Hao Jing and the others were also used to it.

When he raised his head, Wu Shaogang was holding a book in his hand.

"Wu Shaozun, Wu Shaowu, Li Run, Li Chensun, the four of you come forward."

Wu Shaozun left and led the two forward.

"According to the previous arrangement, Wu Shaozun, you will be the governor of Pengzhou, Wu Shaowu, you will be the governor of Mianzhou, Li Run, you will be the governor of Hanzhou, Li Chensun, you will be the governor of Longzhou, I don't know what you think."

Wu Shaozun and the others didn't speak, probably a little surprised, you must know that the four of them are not very old, and they suddenly became governors, isn't this a bit child's play.

The four of them did not speak, and Wu Shaogang continued to speak.

"There are dozens of people who have gone out of the yamen from the system this time, most of them are serving as county commanders, the four of you are different, directly serving as the governor, this is my opinion, you are different from others, not only the identity is different, the knowledge is different, but also because the responsibilities you bear are different."

"If you can't do your job well, there is nowhere to shirk, in the establishment of the Yamen for so long, you have learned a lot from Mr. Hao and Huang Zhifu, and you also know how to act in government affairs, and you know what are the most critical things in the local area, how to straighten out local things in the shortest time, these advantages, others do not have, so after you serve as the governor of the four prefectures, it depends on whether you do your best to do things, as long as you do your best, you will definitely be able to do a good job."

"Many people are looking at you, because your identities are different, I believe that even if you are doing some nonsense, others will not say anything, or even dare not say anything, you don't want to be complacent about this, and you are polite to say that if you act misbehaps, it will directly harm me."

"You are my dearest relatives, no matter where you do things, you are on behalf of me, others will naturally think of me when they see you, so you need to be more strict with yourself, and never allow messing around, otherwise I will not be polite."

"You remember, your words and deeds, as well as many things you do, I will pay special attention to it, always understand and deal with local affairs, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, it is not your credit, but your duty."

"Don't have the idea of pleasure, you are not qualified, I dare not relax in the slightest, dare not enjoy yourself, and spend all day worrying, let alone you." (To be continued.) )
