Chapter 34: Progress and Deficiency
"Big friend, find a few sergeants to try and see if it's convenient." Yang reformed and instructed Wang Chengen. In fact, it will definitely be much more convenient than the original use of gunpowder pots, because every time the medicine is ordered, saving the situation of carelessness and filling more and less. This kind of thing is very easy to happen in the cruel environment of the battlefield. Therefore, the fixed gunpowder, under the current technical conditions, is progressive.
A few shots rang out for a while. When Wang Chengen came back, he reported: "Your Majesty, the sergeant said that with this customized gunpowder, it is much more convenient and reassuring, and he said that there is no need to worry about loading the wrong medicine on the battlefield." ”
"Well, that's good. That's good. "Real progress. Yang Reform also praised a few words.
"Your Majesty, yes. Each paper shell contains a custom pack of gunpowder. When you use it, you can pour it directly into the barrel, which is much more convenient and faster than the original gunpowder pot. Also, since these things are not safe, the grass people suggested that bags made of cowhide should be used to store these ammunition to prevent accidents and also to prevent rainwater from soaking. ”
"Is there a sample in the bag?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, some ......" After speaking, Li Gong brought another cowhide bag, a bit like the kind of "cloth schoolbag" he sewed when he was studying before, with a hanging strap hanging diagonally on his shoulder. This one has a large flap on the outside and a lid on the inside to prevent sparks from splashing.
"Well, yes, it's worth the reward." This kind of gunpowder bag, Yang Gai seems to have seen it there, so he praised it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Several people were very happy. Because when the emperor is happy, he will reward silver.
"Well, reward, each of you will have a hundred taels of silver, and the other ......, just the five of you. Remember to be attentive and make more and better firearms, and I will not be stingy with rewards. "Yang reform has always been very generous to rewards. Not ambiguous at all.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for reward......" Several people kowtowed again. My heart was filled with joy.
"Well, if you make a major breakthrough in firearms, I may consider giving you a name or an official position." Yang Gai released the bait again. It is hoped that these "experts" of the Ming Dynasty can produce weapons that are "ahead of the times".
"Ahh ……”
"Wow......"
The people on the side who heard Yang Reform's words all exclaimed in unison. Rewarding a craftsman with fame and official status is the news of the Ming Dynasty.
"The grass people and others will definitely do their best to make more powerful weapons for Your Majesty." Several craftsmen are already red-eyed, famous, and official. The allure of this thing was too great for them, a craftsman who had been craftsmen for generations. The eyes are really red.
"Well, you're not joking." Yang Gengai smiled, this is what he wants.
……
"Then let's talk about the shortcomings." Yang Gengai is going to see if these "experts" still have problems that cannot be solved, if they happen to know a little bit, he will not hesitate to use the knowledge of time and space to dial them.
"Your Majesty, it is to use the fire fold to light the fire rope, this has always been the weak point of the arquebus, the fire fold cannot be kept for too long, nor can it be used on a large scale, if it is suddenly encountered by the enemy on a rainy day......"
The fire fold is the thing that makes a fire, similar to the current lighter, the ancient fire fold is very inconvenient, it is the kind that is often seen on TV, the kind that is blown with the mouth before use. Imagine suddenly encountering an enemy, every second is precious, waiting for you to blow the fire with your mouth and light the torch or something. It's all a waste of time.
"Well, I know. Think of a way for you, too. I have an idea, and I'll tell you. Yang Gengai felt the need to study how old-fashioned lighters were made, Yang Gengai didn't want to make any electronic lighters, Yang Gengai was going to make the kind of kerosene lighters that he often saw when he was a child. The kind of thing that has to be dialed a cotton core after a period of use, that kind of thing should not be difficult.
……
"Let's go, big companion, go back to the palace." Yang Reform felt that there was no point in staying here any longer, there was no need to try the grenade, what should be said and what should be done had been done, and the rest was time, and it was estimated that the quality of the weapons made by these people again should be no problem. Even if there is a problem, it is estimated that it will be nipped in the bud by them, and it will not be handed over to their own army.
"Yes, Your Majesty, let's step up." Wang Chengen reminded in a low voice.
"Well, well, I'm still a little tired." Yang Gai has walked such a "long" road, and after standing for such a "long", his legs have become sore.
I didn't feel it during the day, but when I went to bed at night, Yang Gengai realized that his leg hurt a little. It's the feeling of being tired and sore.
Yang Gengai sighed secretly, this body is so bad! Looks like it's time to get some exercise.
Empress Zhou saw that Yang Gai was physically inconvenient, and thought that something was wrong, so she asked with concern: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”
"Hehe, queen, it's nothing, I stood a little longer when I went to the school today, and my legs were a little sore."
"Really? Then let the concubine rub it for His Majesty. Empress Zhou volunteered to rub Yang Reform's legs.
"This, okay." Yang Gengai still wishes there was a beautiful woman massaging him.
Queen Zhou hugged Yang Reform's leg and massaged Yang Reform. The smooth little hand touched Yang Reform's thigh, and Yang Reform's heart was like a group of ants crawling around in his heart, itching very much.
Yang Reform is young and vigorous, and his blood is strong, how can he still bear it at the age of three times, and immediately pushed it to Queen Lori.
The queen exclaimed, already pressed under her.
"Ouch!" Yang Reform was at this critical moment and shouted ouch.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" The queen asked with concern.
"My leg hurts a little today......"
……
In the dream, Yang Gengai dreamed of returning to Baidu, memorized a few songs, referred to some materials for practicing chorus, and prepared to open a choir in this Ming Dynasty. There is too much information here, and Yang Reform has written down a rough idea, and he can only write down a little at a time.
When I got up the next day, Yang Reform was full of energy, and Queen Lori was lying in Yang Reform's arms with an unbearable and delicate look. Yesterday was crazy, and I still don't have any strength.
Today is the son of the last dynasty, to be honest, Yang Reform does not want to always talk to those elites, and the consequences of the elite are very serious, but when he is the emperor, he has to face those elites, Yang Reform thinks of his ancestors, the Wanli Emperor who has not been in court for decades, known as the six no, "no suburbs, no temple, no court, no see, no criticism, no talk", that is the "house" of the Eight Classics, I really want to learn from him, but unfortunately, I don't have any reliable elites, at that time there were Zhang Juzheng and a group of real elites, Now these elites, relying on them, I am afraid that they are stronger than them together with pigs.
Yang Gai shook his head and sighed, asked the palace maids to change their clothes, and prepared to go to the court.
