CHAPTER XXV
The total weight of the Heavenly Fury No. 1 is 68 kilograms, of which the projectile body weighs 36 kilograms, the two-layer shell weighs 8 kilograms, and the preset fragments in the shell body weigh 24 kilograms, a total of 268 fragments.
Once this bomb explodes, within a radius of one mile, it is its effective killing range.
If two or more bombs explode within one mile, they will make up for each other's lethal and deadly effects, and the lethality caused will increase several times.
The combat target of the "Wrath of Heaven One" is enemy soldiers.
Therefore, in order to cooperate with the siege of the city, Baili Wuji asked the armory workshop to test and produce a bomb - "God's Wrath No. 1", which weighed 80 catties, the explosives weighed 68 catties, and the shell weighed 12 catties.
This shell is specially used to cooperate with the infantry to attack the city, throwing at the gates of the city, and the concussive destructive force produced is as powerful as a five-inch artillery shell, or even surpassed.
From the above, it can be understood that Baili Wuji wants to establish a new combat system for the Ming army in the future.
Aerial firepower was used to compensate for the lack of firepower of the ground musketeers and the lack of survivability of the musketeers at this time.
And the eight small gunboats, the wheeled ships, elevated the water warfare in the rivers to a higher strategic position, after all, the rivers in the Ming State were crisscrossed, and it can be said that controlling the rivers was equivalent to controlling half of the Ming Kingdom.
And this qiē, perhaps after this war against Dali, the entire military system will gradually surface.
In the plan of Baili Wuji, after this war, the whole country will enter a period of peace, and there may be small civil strife, but there should be no foreign enemies to threaten the Ming in the next few decades.
Then the Ming army maintained an establishment of more than 1.1 million. It is enough to maintain deterrence both at home and abroad.
And establish several new types of troops that can defeat the enemy and serve as the seed troops of the Ming army to deal with the possible threats to the Ming Kingdom in the future. In this way, the living space of the Ming Kingdom was laid for hundreds of years.
Baili Wuji comes from the future after a thousand years, although he is unable to make a qualitative leap in the overall science and technology of the Ming Kingdom, but from the future he has a full understanding of air supremacy and sea supremacy.
Only by mastering these can the Ming Kingdom calmly deal with the maritime invasion from distant countries in the next hundred miles of time, and there will be no more humiliation of "erecting a cannon on the coast can make the opponent submit".
Baili Wuji is working hard to build a Yang Ting-style "bombing team". Write down everything you can think of and everything you have only heard on paper, hoping that it will help improve the armory.
In fact, it is impossible for Baili Mowgli to really play any practical role in craftsmen and technology. All he could do was to choose what should and should not be developed for the Ming Kingdom, or what could be discarded and what must be preserved and developed.
After all, national strength is limited, and targeted choices are related to the Ming State's ability to master East Asia. and even the length of time that affects the whole world.
Baili Wuji is not a god after all. Even if he comes from the future, the power of one person cannot change the whole world.
The most important thing about the rise of the five generations is not that Baili Wuji has mastered the firearms of muskets and artillery, but that he conforms to the desire of the people of this era for peace.
The so-called great rule will be followed by great chaos, and after great chaos there will be great chaos.
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years has laid the foundation for the chaos after its demise, and after five generations and decades, the pattern of Dazhi will also be formed, and Baili Wuji will take advantage of the trend. The most gratifying thing for him is the recovery of Yanyun and the disintegration of the Liao State.
And in Baili Wuji's heart, what makes him deeply worried now is not the Liao State after the disintegration or the extinct Divination and Tubo. Rather, it was occupied by the Ming Kingdom in a special way.
After the disintegration of the Liao State, the various ethnic groups were divided, and the large-scale migration made it no longer able to unite the northern ethnic groups, and the Ming State, which was becoming strong, could take advantage of this to divide and rule the northern nomadic peoples, and even let the various ethnic groups contain each other and be hostile to each other.
But Dongying is different, although there are 50,000 Ming troops stationed, but if this nation awakens, it is bound to set off a huge wave of opposition to the colonization of the Ming Kingdom.
Baili Wuji is not a benevolent person, although he does not advocate killing, but benevolence is only towards his relatives and clansmen.
Just as he dealt with the Uighurs in Xizhou, there was no lack of bloody means.
He also thought about completely resolving the threat of Dongying in a bloody way, but after careful consideration, he rejected the idea because it was not in the long-term interests of the Ming Kingdom.
Baili Wuji knows which countries are further east from Dongying, and also knows what kind of pattern the world will form in the future, if Dongying is really bloodbathed, then in the future, Ming will directly face the challenge from Europe.
Although the Ming State now has some military science and technology that is ahead of them, after all, the Ming State has not been established for a long time, the external worries have just been settled, and the internal troubles have not been completely eliminated.
It takes time for this qiē to stabilize and develop.
Baili Wuji will block hundreds of thousands of people of various ethnic groups from immigrating to Dongying, in order to contain the speed of the awakening of the Fusang tribe, and lag behind the time of their awakening a lot, and in this long time, whether it is blocking the various ethnic groups, the Ming garrison or the Fusang people, they will complete the integration between the ethnic groups.
Whether you like it or not, this qiē will happen irrepressibly.
At that time, perhaps after a few decades, a large number of mixed ethnic descendants will grow up, which will pose a new challenge to the native Fusang and Zubu tribes, and the date when Dongying really wants independence will be far away.
The Ming State will vigorously develop its fleet and air strike capabilities, which will enable the Ming State to militarily form an overwhelming deterrent force against the surrounding countries.
In this way, Baili Wuji can truly transfer the imperial throne to future generations and delegate the political power of the Ming State to Zhongshu Province.
After so many years of war, it would be a lie to say that you are not tired.
Unless you are a natural war maniac, no one can fight continuously, day in and day out, without feeling tired.
Baili Wuji is obviously not a war maniac, he also needs to rest, and at the age of forty-three, he wants a life that belongs only to him.
And in his heart, there is a deep regret buried, that is, Lu Shiyun.
He looked forward to living to see the only woman in his life who touched his heart.
He even prayed to the heavens, hoping that Lu Shiyun could live safely in a corner of the world.
The throne of the emperor who dominates the life and death of all living beings in the world is like gold and silver that has been spent endlessly, just a pile of metal, useless and a pity.
The real reason why Baili Wuji doesn't have to make up his mind to let go is just that there is no suitable replacement.
Baili Jingbei is still young and can't accept this heavy responsibility, but if you want to choose a replacement from others, I am afraid that the newly unified Ming Kingdom will fall into division and war again. (To be continued......)
