Chapter 391: Preparation (1)
Now, although the Ministry of Industry is urging the short-haired thief with a leather whip and braised pork, so that he can realize his mistakes, wash away his sins by labor, and reflect on his crimes, the results are remarkable, and the production of Wansheng Thunderbolt spear is gratifying. But the gun was watched by Gao Gong, and it was not easy to mobilize a large number of people.
According to Zhang Juzheng's thoughts, he can only make 300 fast guns at most, which will not play much role on the battlefield. Considering that the Spanish army might be heavily armoured, these two weapons were proposed.
The nine-headed bird and the thousand-son thunder cannon are not famous weapons in the current Ming military industrial system. However, in another time and space, it became famous and famous because of its service to the famous military group of the late Qing Dynasty: the Hunan Army. It's just that the name has become a gun-lifting gun and a mountain-splitting cannon.
Zeng Guofan's love for these two weapons has reached the point of obsession. At that time, foreign guns and cannons were already flooding China, and the grain stations of the Qing Dynasty could purchase a large number of foreign weapons in various port cities.
However, on the one hand, Zeng Guofan pointed out in the recital that Li Xiucheng's foreign weapons were powerful and extraordinary, but on the other hand, he was complacent, vigorously resisted foreign guns and cannons, and comprehensively promoted his magic weapon to defeat the enemy, which was this gun and mountain splitting artillery. Even when his subordinates purchased foreign weapons on their own, he vigorously promoted his improved bird guns, guns, and mountain splitting guns, and refused to allow his troops to realize foreign guns.
In Zeng Guofan's time, compared with Western guns, this lifting gun and splitting mountain cannon were both backward and clumsy, and the lethality was weak, in addition to being cheap, lackluster, and it was really not an excellent weapon. However, at the moment, these two weapons have not been abandoned by the times, and they are still cheap and high-quality equipment.
Carrying a gun is a large bird gun. The Ming Dynasty called it a nine-headed bird, one zhang long. It weighs more than 20 pounds. Due to the excessive heaviness when shooting. It is necessary to come with a triangular bracket and swivel device.
This kind of lifting gun is an amplification of the shotgun, which is bulky but powerful, and when it hits a person, it is a bloody hole with a large bowl mouth, and it is useless to wear iron armor. However, because it was too heavy, the sergeants were inconvenient to carry, difficult to cast, and were not loved by officers and soldiers.
As for the Thousand Sons Thunder Cannon, its advantage is also cheap. The cost is low, the shot is lead, and it can hit dozens of people at a time. However, whether it is range or power, it is not as good as the Ming imitation of the Franc cannon, and naturally it is not as good as the original Western cannon, and it is not popular.
However, these two weapons were very suitable for installation in the battle against Spain. Spanish troops may have been heavily armoured. Bird guns are hard to harm. However, if the nine-headed bird is set up, it can completely break through the armor with its huge charge.
And the solid bullets fired by Western cannons, the Qianzi thunder cannon hit lead. Its target range is poor. But it was quite enough to fight the Spanish 6th Army, which lacked artillery.
Zhang Juzheng said: "In the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry, there are still a batch of nine-headed birds and a thousand thunder cannons, and I will give an order." Let someone give you all of them. Then let the factory in Macau run at full capacity. If you make more guns, you won't have a problem with this equipment. ”
Li Yanqing smiled: "Thank you father-in-law for your order." With these two sharp weapons, the son-in-law will definitely be able to kill Buddha Yi and lose a lot. ”
He was very ordinary in martial affairs, but this time he got Zhang Juzheng's order to vigorously display the nine-headed bird and the thousand-son thunder cannon, and he used these two weapons as a magic weapon to watch the family. In the future, when he traveled to various places to recruit troops and train bravery, he first had to prepare these two firearms as the foundation. Decades after he gave orders to Liangguang, someone in the court even gave him the nickname Liu Jiutou to show that he attached great importance to carrying a gun.
When Zhang Ruolan and Li Yanqing were alone in the evening, they smiled and said: "What a high pavilion, this hand is clever." If he is defeated, he will borrow his husband's head to use it, and by the way, he can also let Yin Zhengmao take the opportunity to have all the two wides, and this open sea will become open for him. If he wins, he will also be able to employ people in a high-tech manner, and he will not suffer a loss. This person's abacus is very good, but am I, Zhang Ruolan, a bully? Xiang Gong fought this battle, and went all the way to the governor to see what he had to say. Let his tall beard boast of being shrewd, but this time he is also miscalculated, and he deserves to suffer. ”
Li Yanqing held his beloved wife in his arms, and asked while caressing her: "I know that my lady is Zhiduoxing, female Zhuge . Tell me, where did Gao Ge miscalculate? ”
"There are three places where he didn't calculate. First, he decided that when the Zhejiang soldiers entered Guangdong, there would be a dispute between the host and the guest soldiers. But I didn't know that Yu Long and Qihu had a deep friendship, and the soldiers and horses of the two families were like a family, and there would be no internal strife. Second, he decided that the lack of food and salary of the prime minister could not be sustained. But I don't know how rich the net worth is, and my father helps you strategize, buy grain from Zhejiang, and raise military salaries, and the food is worry-free. Thirdly, he decided that Wu Guifang was jealous of Xianggong and would come to dismantle Xianggong's platform. But I don't know what kind of friendship Xiang Gong has with Wu Shuai, and how powerful the East India Company is, Wu Shuai will only cooperate with Xiang Gong and will not come to dismantle the stage at all. With these three miscalculations, are you still afraid that you won't be able to reverse the situation? ”
Gao Gong has a good relationship with Jin Shang, and his understanding of Yu Long and Qihu is indeed limited. He only knew that Yu Dayou was the chief soldier at the earliest, and Qi Jiguang was just his deputy. But later, the two switched positions, and Qi Jiguang became Yu Dayou's superior. According to Gao Gong's idea, he believes that there must be contradictions between the two, and the fighting group led by these two people will inevitably have discord.
But in fact, it was Yu Dayou who took the initiative to give up the position of the general soldier to Qi Jiguang, and he managed the military with peace of mind, and handed over the things of dealing with errands and personal contacts to Qi Jiguang, who was better at socializing. The two are friends of life and death, and the military groups led by the two have become brothers who can eat in the same pot. If other troops enter Guangdong, there may be such and such problems in cooperation with Yu Dayou, and the Zhejiang soldiers enter Guangdong, and the Fujian soldiers are natural good partners.
Li Yanqing nodded and said, "The lady said well, there are many rewards." After speaking, he kissed Zhang Ruolan on the face, and then waited to show his skills, Zhang Ruolan hurriedly said: "Go, don't make trouble!" The purple girl outside, you have been drying her for several days, go to her side today and feed her. ”
She leaned her head on Li Yanqing's shoulder, bit her ear and said, "This woman has countless chess pieces in Nanyang, so we can't let her go." You have to squeeze her clean, you treat her a little better these days, so that her chess pieces can obey our orders, there are also many talents in the Tiannu Gate, we all have to move. Also, you can't rush to Guangdong to take office. If you want to do this military preparation, don't you take office with your bare hands, and if you don't get enough belongings first, we won't move.
