CHAPTER XXIII
"During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a famous general named Li Quan, with a pear flower gun, known as 'twenty years of pear flower gun, invincible all over the world', if the first, second, and third three centenarian spears are replaced with pear flower guns, the combat ability of our pikemen will definitely be invincible in the world......" Li Datong of the 100th team has some combat experience, and I don't know where I heard about it.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Hao Shisan rubbed his temples, after all, the amount of information he came into contact with after drinking a meal of wine today was indeed a bit too much, and he couldn't digest it for a while: "Pear Flower Gun, what's going on?" Is it a weapon that uses gunpowder and can hit projectiles? ”
Every time Hao 13 comes into contact with this ancient word "gun", he can always think of the real guns of later generations.
"Oh!" Li Datong paused for a moment and immediately explained: "The pear flower gun, in essence, is also an ordinary spear, just the red tassel removed, replaced with a two-foot-long iron bucket, containing gunpowder, sulfur, arsenic and other things, when fighting the enemy, light the cartridge, the medicine in the barrel is like a pear blossom sprayed forward, so it is called 'pear flower gun', which can not only burn the enemy's exposed skin, but also make the enemy unconscious!" ”
Hao 13 understands a little! Isn't this the fireworks of the future? The fireworks of later generations have lit up the romantic night sky many times, and have become a must-have for the courtship confession of many crazy men and women.
Gunpowder, gunpowder of one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, the earliest invention and the hand of the alchemy Taoist priest in ancient China, it is said that the Tang Dynasty has come out, but unfortunately it was used as a juggler to create the atmosphere of the stage, until the Song Dynasty, it was gradually introduced to the military scope, it is said that the Southern Song Dynasty invented the assault gun with the significance of a modern rifle, but unfortunately, Huaxia as the originator of the invention of gunpowder, later, was actually his second and third hand after the apprentice, defeated with a strong ship and a cannon, resulting in a hundred years of humiliating history in modern times, can not but be regretted.
During the Mengyuan expedition to the west, in addition to relying on the elite Mongolian iron cavalry, firearms have been used on a large scale in the army, and the gate of Baghdad was broken by firecrackers.
Hao Shisan himself was also affected by the prejudice against gunpowder at that time, and always felt that the so-called pear flower gun was just a child's fireworks and juggler's means, and it was ridiculous to think that it was applied to the military in this situation.
When the two armies face each other, the three hundred pear flower gunners should also come to a standard opening statement: "Those who come from the south and go to the north, those who come from Jiamusi's Hegang, the insiders watch the doorway, the laymen look at the liveliness, the rich hold a money field, and the money has a personal field, all the officials, you have an eye!" ”
Then, 300 pear blossom gunners set off fireworks together, and then, the enemy troops of the other side obediently laid down their weapons and sat in the place to become exemplary spectators, some clapping, some cheering, and some whistling.
It's just childish! If you have gunpowder, you don't make muskets and guns, what do you do with this juggling thing?
"Hey, hey! Hey! Hao Shisan was immersed in his boundless reverie, forgetting the aroma of the wine in the cup and the people around him, and couldn't help but let out two dry laughs.
"Your Excellency, what your subordinates have said...... What do you think! Li Datong saw that the manager was a little out of shape, and asked cautiously.
What do you think? When I was a child, because it was cold and timid, I was lying on the window to watch; Now? In this identity, it should be moving a stool and drinking mare's milk wine.
Although Hao 13 has looked at the ancients with the mentality of a later generation of travelers, he does think it is funny, but he can't refuse the suggestions of any subordinate for no reason, brainstorming, and open up his views, so that he can become bigger and stronger.
"If the powder keg on the pear flower gun can shoot a projectile, what kind of lethality will this be?" Hao 13 asked tentatively with the theory of his later musket.
The centurion of the fourth and fifth hundredth teams below, Shouzhou butcher Zhu Yidao, and Shouzhou tailor Wang Xiaoer, looked at each other, and the butcher Zhu Yidao, five big black, said with a red neck: "Isn't the one you said the head manager...... What's it called? ”
Wang Xiaoer, a native of Shouzhou, added: "Call, assault gun!" ”
"Smack!"
Hao Shisan's silver wine glasses were heavily lined up on the desk, which startled everyone: "Yes! That's it! ”
He couldn't believe that it was so easy to form such a resonance with his subordinates in ancient times, and he was still a butcher and tailor in the market before, and even the grassroots people in the market knew about the assault rifle, and the assault rifle was so popular? Did you meet the same traverser?
"No, how do you two know about it?" Hao 13 asked in disbelief.
"Hehe," the butcher smiled: "The chief manager doesn't know, the assault gun invented in the Southern Song Dynasty was invented by our Shouzhou people, I heard that the emperor also personally ordered a commendation, so the people of Shouzhou are regarded as the pride of the place, the locals do not know this thing, but what is the specific shape, we have not had the opportunity to see, as for the production, it is impossible to master this technology." ”
Tailor Wang Xiaoer said thoughtfully: "I heard the older generation say that it seems to be a gun barrel made of bamboo barrels, as for the power, ordinary people, how can they see it." ”
After all, Wu Liujiu was born in a military household, and he had some physical references, shook his head and said: "This kind of firearm, but my subordinates have seen it, the bowl mouth gun that the Mengyuan court once built, its body shape is made of brass, the cost is expensive, its power depends on the number of gunpowder loaded, the gunpowder is less, there is no power, it is loaded more, it is easy to blow up, and the assault gun made of bamboo barrel must not only have a huge risk of exploding, but also its power may not be strong!" ”
If it is based on the common sense of Hao Shisan's later generations and relying on the existing industrial production technology, it is still quite difficult to make some powerful weapons, if there is a person who understands the principles of firearms, and uses the scientific and technological knowledge of later generations to make good weapons with a little allocation, it can be said that it will get twice the result with half the effort.
"Nowadays, there are people who understand the manufacture of such firearms, you know Shouzhou City better than me, can you have such people to recommend?" Hao 13 asked.
"This ......"
Everyone shook their heads helplessly, but they didn't know where to find such a talent for a while.
Xiucai shook the broken feather fan and said with a smile: "Since the first so-called assault gun was produced in Shouzhou, from the end of the Southern Song Dynasty to this time, it is only more than a hundred years, Xiao Ke believes that the craftsmen of the year must have descendants in the market, as long as the boss is willing to buy horse bones, presumably, he will definitely find such talents in the market." ”
Wu Liujiu admonished: "When Meng Yuan captured this Shouzhou, the craftsmen were unified into the craftsman camp, if you want to find this kind of talent, you might as well go to the craftsman camp to go to the craftsman camp, find the best, can't find it, you can also make some weapons and armor for us, now weapons and armor are also in short supply in the army." ”
It is also Hao Shisan who has been too busy these days, and now he has calmed down and drunk, and everyone brainstormed, and finally clarified his own thinking, obviously he had a relationship with more than ten craftsmen two days ago, but he never thought of making some sophisticated weapons and equipment, and now his mind has finally opened, and he suddenly realized.
It is rumored that two military powers joined forces to occupy another country that was almost enough to conquer the world, and one of them mainly grabbed money, and finally failed in the process of hegemony, was divided (split) into fifteen countries, and also fell into the reputation of hooligans/countries. Another country, mainly robbing scientists, as a result, mastered the most advanced technology in the world and became a superpower in the world.
Those craftsmen, although they are not as good as the scientists of later generations, are at least technical talents.
"Xiucai, post a recruitment list for me tomorrow, and recruit talents who know how to manufacture firearms, no matter how much the other party offers, how much money you have to give me!" Hao 13 said loudly.
Xiucai responded: "Don't worry, boss! Xiao Keding lives up to his mission! ”
