PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

It has been three months since the establishment of the Jin State, and in these three months, the Jurchens withstood the four successive attacks of Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao State, under the leadership of Wanyan Aguta, making the Liao State drop nearly 60,000 corpses in Huining City, even so, the Jurchens also suffered heavy losses, their total strength was only 20,000 people, but they had lost more than 4,700 people in these three months of non-stop fighting, and winter had come, and the Jurchens had almost reached the point where they had no food to eat, as the emperor of the Han people, how could they bear to let them fight with hunger, So my kind heart sent a little kindness again, and sent 10,000 stone of military rations to the Jurchens, when it was not for nothing, they wanted to exchange wild ginseng, mink, bear skin, tiger skin, deer antler velvet, etc., and the price was not low. As for me, I don't have time to beat them to death, I'm going to see what happens to my precious cannons

Out of the city, and then went straight to the artillery camp, Wu Song stepped forward and handed my emperor's gold medal before being put in by the guard post. The current artillery camp can be said to be under heavy protection, and the inside is ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, we went straight to the headquarters of the Ordnance Department in the artillery barracks, and all the officials of the Ordnance Department who have been notified have come out to greet me, and they are in the front of the line to officially bombard the sky Lei Lingzhen and Gong Zhi.

The current public loss is naturally the first and second in command of the Ordnance Division, the public loss is naturally the left squire of the Ordnance Division, and the right squire of the Ordnance Department of Ling Zhenren, although the public loss is naturally the boss, but everyone knows that the public loss will naturally not do anything except invent and create, so the actual boss of the Ordnance Division is still Ling Zhen

"Ministers, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live"

"Flat down, all Aiqing, please get up quickly, hahaha Gong loses Aiqing, Ling Aiqing, quickly take me to see our artillery and repeater"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please" As soon as the cannon and repeater were mentioned, Gong Yi and Ling Zhen were very excited and took me to the test site

After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the test site for artillery and repeaters, Ling Zhen stepped forward and ordered, and after a while, soldiers brought six artillery pieces and ten repeaters to the test site

There are three types of artillery, one is a gun truck, one is a naval gun one size smaller than the gun truck, and another is similar to the grenadier that appeared on the Asian battlefield in World War II, but the one in front of me is slightly larger, with a bracket, it looks more like a small mortar

"Your Majesty, I still remember that the last time you came to the barracks, you mentioned that artillery has a great role in plain warfare, city defense warfare, and naval warfare, but it plays a much smaller role in mountain warfare and jungle warfare, that is because in mountain warfare, the volume and weight of artillery are too large, and it takes manpower and animal power to drag forward, and the ground is uneven, and the artillery assumption is difficult, and it is easy to hurt your own people due to the unstable fixing of artillery, and jungle warfare, dense trees, and small space, Our current field artillery has no way to turn the gun head calmly, and it will not be able to aim because of the dense woods in front of us, so after the minister discussed this matter with Lord Gongyi, the two of us have a small artillery suitable for jungle warfare and mountain warfare, this kind of artillery is small in size and light in weight, and it is even simpler for a soldier to handle it, but due to its small size, the maximum firing range is only about 100 zhang, and the effective firing range is only more than 60 zhang" After Ling Zhen finished speaking, his and Gongyi's faces both showed shame

And after listening to this, I thought a little in my heart, the maximum range of 100 zhang, in the future is about 330 meters, and the maximum effective range is 60 zhang, probably 200 meters, and in those dense jungles and relatively steep and potholed mountains, these ranges are enough

"Hahaha, don't do this, two Aiqing, what you have done has already been accomplished, come, first show me these cannons and this repeater experiment" Gong Yi naturally and Ling Zhen encouraged him for a while, and then couldn't wait for them to arrange artillery and repeater demonstrations

The first demonstration is the artillery, the first round is the two heavy guns with gun trucks, five people control, with six guns, each gun fired ten times, under the command of the artillery commander, two heavy guns began to fix the gun car, loading the guns and projectiles, fixed guns, the gunner aimed, after everything was prepared, the artillery commander gave an order, only to see a tongue of fire accompanied by a deafening loud sound, out of the muzzle, and after an instant, I saw a stream of soot rising from the mountain about fifteen miles outside the test site, and the two guns after the firing was completed, The gunner quickly pulled out the iron bolt that fixed the gunner, withdrew the gun, reloaded the projectile, replaced the gun, fixed, aimed, ignited, and fired at a very fast speed, and the other three soldiers handed over the loaded gun at the moment when the gunner and the commander stepped down, and quickly cleaned the gun, loaded and compacted the gunpowder, inserted the lead, all the steps were very fast, watching them finish firing ten shots, I didn't speak, just signaled for the next demonstration, and Ling Zhen was instructed by me, Masan is scheduled to start a new round of presentations

The second round of demonstration, the ship-based artillery demonstration, because there is no ship, can only be tested on land, and the same as the heavy artillery demonstration just now, the soldiers are very fast to maneuver the artillery, and skillfully and quickly complete the second round of demonstration

I was very interested in this third round of demonstrations, and I paid special attention to this small mortar-like cannon because of its great dominance in future mountain and jungle warfare. The shell of this small cannon has two parts, one is a projectile, the other is a firing sub-gun, unlike the heavy artillery, this sub-gun is disposable, the wall of the gun is very thin, easy to deform, and they throw it away when they run out, they loaded the gunpowder into this small cylindrical sub-gun in advance, and made a cylinder that can have a cover on the side opening, and the side opening is just enough to put the sub-gun, and then put the projectile into the cylinder, ignite, lasing, open the side cover, take out the scrapped sub-gun and throw it away, and then reload it again, the whole loading, aiming, The process of firing the cannon only takes about a minute, and on a battlefield where time is of the essence, it can be said that this kind of small cannon can play a role in the victory or defeat of a war

"Hahaha......... Okay, good, good, the two Aiqing are really the lucky stars of my Great Song Dynasty, with this kind of small cannon, used in the special operations in the jungle and mountains, our army will sweep everything and be invincible, reward, I want to reward the two of you and the people of your Ordnance Division, Xiaodouzi, pass on my will, the special Jin Gong loses nature and Ling Zhen is a baron, there is a golden book, and the Ordnance Department is rewarded with 100,000 Guan Wen, and the two Aiqing will distribute it according to the size of their contributions" After speaking, I quietly said to the two of them, "Don't divide these 100,000 Guan, give them to them, "Actually, they are already very happy to have a knighthood, because most of the titles are obtained by military merits, and craftsmen like them who are regarded by scholars with strange skills and ingenuity will not get the title in the past, so their current mood can be imagined."

"Two Aiqing, try this repeater for me to see," I said to them both excitedly

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will go and arrange it," Gong Yi naturally replied

Ten soldiers armed with crossbows walked to the place designated by the public and stood up, and then about five to seven hundred paces in front of them, some soldiers hurriedly placed scarecrows there to make arrow targets, and one step in the Song and Yuan dynasties was about 30.7 centimeters, which was about 150 to 200 meters in front of the demonstration soldiers. I turned my head and asked the public to lose nature

"Old Lu, can you shoot that far with this crossbow?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, can my old Lu things be bad haha" Gong Yi naturally replied with confidence

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
