Chapter 228: Flintlock Pistol
Zhu Di smiled and smiled meaningfully, since Yao Guangxiao has a plan, he must do it, and the trouble that has plagued him for many days is about to be solved. Zhu Di was naturally very happy www.biquge.info the pen, but it seemed to be a little early to start being happy.
Yao Guangxiao changed his words and said: "The emperor still remembers the fire system that Tang Ming's kid went to the Military Manufacturing Division to build last time?" ”
Zhu Di nodded and replied suspiciously: "Remember!" The kid also gave me a handful mysteriously, and said that he personally supervised the construction, which was very different from the ones made in the military manufacturing department. I was in a hurry to send troops, and I haven't tried the difference between the fire system and the fire system until now. ”
Yao Guangxiao was slightly stunned, he always thought that Zhu Di had already tried the fire system, but he didn't expect that he hadn't even seen it, shook his head and said: "It's better to let the old minister accompany the emperor to the interview now." ”
Yao Guangxiao, the fire commander, also has one on him, and when Tang Ming created the fire system, he naturally would not leave behind Yao Guangxiao, who followed the expedition. This short firearm is a flintlock pistol, which is easy to carry on the body, and Yao Guangxiao has discovered its strengths since he got it in his hands.
He had tried it early in the morning, especially since this grab was a single shot, unlike Tang Ming's one. Why distribute? Tang Ming, who was not lazy, was unwilling to practice the gun, so he directly made it into a shotgun.
After Yao Guangxiao tried the gun, he personally went to the Military Manufacturing Division and specially asked the craftsman who made the flintlock pistol for Tang Ming. Yao Guangxiao, who has been on the battlefield countless times, clearly knows the power of this flintlock pistol. If the army is equipped with this weapon, it will be able to match it.
Therefore, before leaving, he had already instructed the craftsmen to try their best to create a batch of them, but unfortunately the backward technology was not yet to the point of mass production, and hundreds of craftsmen worked day and month in the past month, and now there are less than 200 long and short guns.
The guns are already on the way to be delivered, and they will arrive soon, with these weapons, Yao Guangxiao is confident that he will make those hundreds of elusive guys suffer a big loss and catch them off guard.
On the training ground in the barracks, Zhu Di's expression was very excited, he had already tried the gun, and the effect was very good, and he was very satisfied. In particular, hearing Yao Guangxiao say that a large batch of nearly 200 pieces of nearly 200 troops would be transported here with the army in the near future, which made him even more happy.
With a stroke of his pen, Zhu Di immediately issued an order to Tang Ming, ordering him to put down everything at hand first and concentrate on building a flintlock pistol. The eight-hundred-mile urgent secret decree soon arrived in Nanjing, and Tang Ming laughed out loud after receiving the secret decree.
Tinker and Chen Jialan didn't know why Xianggong suddenly started hysteria, and the two of them fled in a hurry.
Tang Ming is not having hysteria, he is happy, the Military Manufacturing Division is a place dedicated to building military weapons, and he was directly ordered by Zhu Di, and if others want to find the Military Manufacturing Division to create something, they must be nodded by the emperor.
In particular, the firearms in the military manufacturing department are the top priority, only the military manufacturing department can build other departments have no right to intervene at all, and the people are not allowed to build and study the fire system, artillery, and the criminals are all beheaded.
Tang Ming first went to the Military Manufacturing Division to make a small flintlock pistol for himself as a weapon for self-defense, but after he went, he touched his nose and didn't say anything, and was tied up to see Zhu Di. How can he say that he is also a marquis, but he can't even enter the gate of a small military manufacturing department, and he was tied up.
Tang Ming, who was holding back the fire in his belly, was ready to complain in front of Zhu Di, but he didn't expect that the emperor would also ask him with a black face why he had no desire to go to the Military Manufacturing Division for no reason. It wasn't until this moment that Tang Ming realized that he seemed to have made a big disaster, so he changed his words and said that he wanted to create a weapon for the emperor to defend himself.
Zhu Di had long been accustomed to Tang Ming shaking off something new from time to time, and he didn't care too much about preparing for the expedition, so he agreed to let Tang Ming enter the construction division.
According to Tang Ming's idea, after making the flintlock pistol, he also made some of it privately and secretly transported it to his Jeju Island. Tang Ming, a craftsman from the Military Manufacturing Division, did not have any skills, and no one knew the craft of making fire systems and cannons.
Tang Mingkong had a lot of drawings but no one who knew how to build them, so he hit the idea of the Military Manufacturing Division early on. This will have Zhu Di's secret decree, and he Tang Ming will be able to mix into the military construction department in a grand manner.
When he wants talents and craftsmanship, it is not enough to get them in a minute, but think about the fact that in the future, all the people on Jeju Island will be replaced with flintlock pistols made by himself, and then he will not be afraid of that small island country.
It's just that Zhu Di's appetite is too big, and he actually opened his mouth and asked Tang Ming to create 500 flintlock pistols of each length within a month. This has to be said to be a difficult task. At present, the military manufacturing department is almost at full firepower, but it has not reached 200 in a month.
Why did Zhu Di have to hand in a thousand flintlock pistols a month, with the current backward construction technology, it was impossible to meet Zhu Di's requirements on the premise of maintaining quality.
But who is Tang Ming? If the technology is backward, it will be improved, and if there is no machinery, it can be replaced by manual labor, and if there are fewer people, then join it, and now the entire military manufacturing department has to listen to him, what are you afraid of?
Early the next morning, Tang Ming took Zhu Yong to the Military Manufacturing Division, and when he gathered all the craftsmen to prepare for the task, he found that there were definitely no more than a hundred craftsmen who could make flintlock pistols.
These people are the family members who have been handed down from generation to generation throughout the Ming Dynasty and specialize in building artillery artillery. In other words, Tang Ming can use the most people now, how can this work?
Tang Ming immediately called the steward of the Military Manufacturing Division, an old man whose hair had turned gray and walked tremblingly, he seemed to be very disdainful of Tang Ming, a young man who was a little too young.
The old man has been in the military manufacturing department all his life, and his ancestors have been specialized in this business for several generations. It can be said that he has a hundred responses in the Military Manufacturing Division, and if Tang Ming wants to rectify the Military Manufacturing Division, then he must first subdue this old man.
"Presumably, the old man should know the order given by the emperor to this marquis, and he must take out 500 flintlock pistols of long and short lengths within a month. I don't know what my husband has to say about this? Tang Ming saw that the old man was not young, and when he opened his mouth, he still spoke in a tone of respect for his elders.
Unexpectedly, the old man replied disdainfully: "What task the emperor gave the Hou Ye, the old man doesn't know." But it is impossible to build 500 flintlock pistols of different lengths in a month! Maybe the Hou Ye should explain this matter to the emperor as soon as possible, so as not to blame the emperor when the emperor is too late! ”
The old man's words made it clear that he didn't want to help Tang Ming, but he didn't do it out of malice, it was impossible for him to do it at all. Persuading the old man Tang Ming is somewhat intentional. (To be continued.) )
