Chapter 591: Imitation Artillery?
Jia Xu finally recommended Lu Xun......
Lu Xun had returned to Jinling from Yizhou, which had completely become part of the "homeland" of the Chu State, and began to gradually get in touch with the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
If nothing else, Lu Su has been the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for a long time, and after a short break in the war, he will be replaced by Lu Xun, after all, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has not been replaced for a long time, and it should also be replaced.
And I believe that within five to ten years, Yu Fu's position as a bachelor will also be "transferred" to Lu Xun.
After all, Lu Xun was not only the first confidant who "messed around" with the King of Chu at the age of fourteen and praised the King of Chu for being able to block Xiang Yu's move unscathed, but also although he was a side branch, he was the real spokesperson of the Lu family and the successor of Lu Kang......
At present, Lu Xun is only familiar with the government affairs of the DPRK and China, and he has been assigned to Wancheng as a staff officer or as a military officer, and there is no conflict of duties.
And for Lu Xun, this is also an opportunity to exercise, or show his ability.
The naturalization of Yizhou is very successful, and the credit is also great, but after all, it is overseas, and the current Chu State is no longer a separatist force in Jiangdong, and some people may not be convinced by Yizhou's merits alone.
After all, although Lu Xun was an "old minister" during the Yangzhou pastoral period, his actual age was actually only twenty or six!
With Lu Xun's ability, I believe that he can also play well in Wancheng, and although Lu Xun has not been back for a long time, he has one thing in common with Zhang Xiu - they have a good relationship with Lu Bu.
At the beginning, in order to test Xiao Lu Xun and lack of military advisors, Lu Bu was condescending to listen to his command, and Zhang Xiu was a junior in martial arts for Lu Bu.
At this point, Zhang Xiu and Lu Xun should be more compatible, and they will not underestimate Lu Xun, who looks weak.
Of course, for Jia Xu...... At this time, he proposed Lu Xun, which could be regarded as selling Lu's favor.
Jia Xu has already thought about it so properly, Bai Tu naturally has no reason to deny it.
"King, you can consider pulling Commander Huang's artillery division to Wangjing Road for training." Lu Su reminded at this time.
Wangjing Road, which is almost the range from Xinye to Wancheng, is not only very close to Xuchang, but also "a horse and Pingchuan" from the Central Plains, which is very suitable for artillery advancement!
So the state of Chu also began to prepare for the "three-front battle", one of which was Zhao Yun and Fa Zheng, who were on the one hand on Longyou in Hanzhong, and on the other hand, they were also on guard against Xichuan;
The second is on Wangjing Road, Zhang Xiu and Lu Xun observe the situation in Guanzhong and Guandong, and are ready to send troops to the Central Plains at any time, and there are a large number of artillery candidates behind them;
The third is in the Nanpi generation of Bohai County, not only Lu Bu is in charge personally, but also Cao Pi, a mascot with a "provocative" effect, needs to guard against Cao Wei's counterattack......
As for Huainan, it is theoretically possible to be attacked by the princes of the Auxiliary Han, especially the Marquis of Qi, so he also left the military affairs of the Governor Tai Shici, and Hao Zhao, who joined the State of Chu through the imperial examination four years ago, was in charge of the defense of Hefei!
I believe that even Liu Bei would not want to start a war with the state of Chu in Huainan.
After all, Huainan has the military city of Hefei, and the water system is developed, which not only means that it needs to be coordinated by land and water, but also means that it is more convenient for Chu to transport artillery.
Now the training site of the artillery division is in Huainan!
As for the navy, it has now returned to the mainland of Chu - eight thousand of them have not returned for several years!
Moreover, on the sea, the standing navy of Liaodong Port and Donglai Port is enough to sweep away all enemies, after all, Cao Wei no longer has a fleet in both the government and the opposition.
"Well, now send an order to General Huang to start training in different areas after the New Year's Day." Bai Tu also feels that he should be braver.
After all, the artillery division is trained in Huainan, which is equivalent to focusing on defense, and being sent to Wangjing Road is more like a hidden thorn in the attack!
Of course, in fact, the artillery division will not attack alone, but if it is sent from Wancheng, because the artillery division is behind it, it will definitely be able to replenish a large number of artillery batteries into the army!
And when it comes to artillery, Yu Flip has often frowned into wifi signals, which is three points deeper: "King, artillery...... Do you want to make restrictions after that? ”
Everyone here knows that Yu Yu said this not because he was "merciful" and could not bear to cause casualties with artillery, but because of the other princes...... In particular, the skillful battalion of Wei has a tendency to want to imitate artillery!
After all, artillery is different from the real gas crossbow, if it is "just" artillery, it is still in the category of imitation, after all, gunpowder is such a thing, but the optimized formula is not easy to develop, and the degree of secrecy is difficult to steal.
But gunpowder of the same level of "one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal" is nonsense if you want to keep it secret......
As for the smelting technology, there is the Chu State to explore the way, and the Wei State has also grown a little, basically the highest military industry level of the Wei State, which can reach the level of the private workshop of the Chu State.
"There's no need, it's inevitable that they want to imitate, even if we don't use it, it's better to dominate the world before they succeed!" Bai Tu is confident.
In addition to confidence in himself, it is also confidence in the Ministry of Industry and even in the entire Chu State.
"Only" is artillery, it is indeed easier to imitate, but ...... Not to mention that the artillery of the Chu State is no longer a "basic model", and it is really easy for the Wei State to produce artillery?
It is indeed not impossible to imitate the artillery that is a hundred years behind, but needless to say, the "visible" needs such as steel are difficult for Wei to get together just because of the raw material for artillery brushes - pig bristles!
Especially for shoddy gunpowder, the requirements for the brush are greater, otherwise it is easy to block the barrel......
It seems inconspicuous, but in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China in modern times, pig bristles were used as a signboard for bulk transactions, and a large number of arms were traded with foreign powers - after all, in modern times, the Chinese were the largest pig consumer group, and naturally there were many pig bristles.
However, for the current state of Chu, bristles can be easily acquired, but for other princes...... How can there be so many people who eat meat!
This is only one aspect, other needs that are "invisible at a glance", such as tung oil for maintaining crossbow tubes and gun barrels, and compressed biscuits with high sugar, high heat and high fat...... Infiltrate every aspect!
It can be said that the state of Chu has drawn the rhythm of the war into the competition of national strength, and it is useless to just imitate some of the surface techniques of the state of Chu.
After the artillery is thoroughly put into use, it cannot be completely kept secret outside of the core technology and will be copied, which is also expected by Bai Tu and the Ministry of Industry.
However, Pang Tong is confident in the scientific research speed of the Ministry of Industry, and Bai Tu is also confident in the production speed of Chu State......
The reason why Pang Tong has confidence in the "Ministry of Industry", not in himself, is because now his project is no longer a problem of artillery, but a study of how to combine artillery with fine reports!
Chu Guo's partial science has not yet pointed out the radar, but the fine wave of the wireless precision report also has a certain positioning effect, so Pang Tong thought - how good would it be for the shell to fly to the place where the corresponding fine wave was released?
In this way, as long as the mental power reaches a certain strength, the strategist can use his brain to indicate the direction and target of the cannonball......
