Chapter 32: Thunder and Thunder

Wang Han was irritable and wanted to scold.

What kind of people are you? You are national cadres, and you are reviewing and accepting the country's new weapons here, and you don't pay attention to them with a twelve-point spirit, but you actually desert in the back and talk about gossip?

This is that Wang Han did not understand the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty, since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Taizu set the tone: rule the world with scholars.

What do you mean? This world is no longer the emperor's alone, but shared with the scholars, although the emperor is noble, but not as absolute authority as the emperors of previous dynasties. Not to mention Zhao Ji, even if it was the ancestors before, they had to bear it when they encountered the minister's confrontation, not only could they not be angry and wore small shoes, but they also had to claim to be a gentleman.

Why did the court set up an advisor, it was to supervise and remind the emperor. In addition, there is an official position called the living house, which is an official specially used to record the words and deeds of the emperor, commonly known as a secretary.

This official is generally a close confidant of the emperor, and the emperor's daily affairs are recorded in every detail, and they must be shown to everyone after the record, so that everyone can evaluate whether the emperor is a good emperor or a faint king.

For example, Wang Han drew an artillery cannon on the desktop of the official house, and Deng Xun, the resident of the house, recorded it: In a certain year and month, the people of Jun Yu Furui discussed a new type of firearm. When this record was shown to Zeng Bu, he was reprimanded by Zeng Bu: Nonsense, this thing is artillery? It's clearly an indecent thing under a man's crotch, Deng Xun, do you want to cover for the official family?

Under such a tone, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was very aggrieved, and he couldn't make his own decisions on many things, so he had to listen to the opinions of the ministers. Even if some things were not his intention, but the ministers agreed, the emperor was helpless.

For example, when Song Shenzong was discussing the change of the law, he said: Changing the legal system is very displeasing to Dr. Yu, but why is it inconvenient for the people? Translated into the vernacular, the change of law will definitely harm the interests of scholars, but it should have no impact on the common people, right?

The minister replied: In order to rule the world with scholars and doctors, not to rule the world with the people. Translated into the vernacular, it is: you rule the world with the scholars, not with the common people. If you harm the interests of the common people, no one will say anything about you, and if you harm the interests of the scholars, you see how they deal with you.

This is why the new law and the old law have changed back and forth over the past few decades, the emperor wants to change the law, but the minister does not agree, even if the emperor is tough, he has to force the law to change. As soon as the emperor died, those opponents immediately overthrew the new law, and such a change of order will definitely be incomprehensible in the eyes of future generations, but the court of the Great Song Dynasty is so capricious, and the minister and the emperor are working against each other.

Especially in Zhao Ji's dynasty, Zhao Ji's ability is not good, the entire court is controlled by Zeng Bu, and Zeng Bu has the final say in many problem decisions, and Zhao Ji has no other way.

Therefore, the monarchs and ministers in the court of the Great Song Dynasty got along relatively well, everyone was not afraid of the emperor, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

It is today's acceptance of firearms, although there are many people who come, but only the emperor and Zeng Bu really have the right to make decisions, Wang Han flew out with a rocket, he was satisfied, but Zeng Bu had a black face, how dare others boast.

At present, Zhao Ji saw that the atmosphere of the scene was cold, and encouraged Wang Han, saying that the primary rocket has such power, and the advanced rocket must be extraordinary. ”

Zeng Bu gave a pertinent reply: "The initial rocket is somewhat powerful, but it is far from the ideal, and a single hit can damage five enemy horses, and the thunderbolt cannon ten years ago has reached such a level. ”

Wang Han heard the taste at this time, and it turned out that his rocket was too powerful and failed to scratch everyone's G-spot. It's so helpless, who made him think too optimistic about the consequences? I thought that when my new explosives were released, they would definitely be amazed, refreshing, and shouting long live.

After doing it for a long time, the power of a rocket bomb is not as great as the impact of a cigarette lock pond willow, and it is really a literati ruling the country.

Since Zeng Bu said that the power of the rocket is small, the remaining Wang Han didn't bother to try it, and said: "If that's the case, I'll make a high-level rocket and try it again after popping it out." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ling Wei, the technical assistant beside him, stepped forward and said, "Wang Gong, there are still incendiary bombs that have not been tried." ”

Wang Han didn't care when he heard this, and said in his heart that they couldn't look down on the powerful yellow powder missile, and the black powder incendiary bomb had a hairy use, but when he saw Ling Wei's eyes blinking at him strangely, his mind was smart, and he immediately said: "Everyone, look, there is also a small thunderbolt explosion rocket here, which is a derivative of the rocket, which is mainly used to attack the camp and burn grain and grass." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and let Ling Wei perform.

Ling Wei immediately beckoned the people from the Gunpowder Bureau to set up a stand, put the rocket mixed with explosives and gunpowder on it, and asked Wang Han with his eyes.

Wang Han waved his hand, "Come on." ”

Ling Wei took the fire fold and lit the fuse.

With a pop, the butt of the rocket spewed smoke, and with a whistle, it flew into the distance, and saw three hundred meters, but the castration continued unabated, and it continued to fly forward.

Wang Han was shocked and asked Ling Wei, "Isn't it the set of three hundred steps?" ”

Ling Wei was also surprised, "It's a propellant loaded in three hundred steps. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a "boom" sound four hundred steps ahead, and a black and red fireball exploded at the root of the courtyard wall between the Gunpowder Bureau and the Crossbow Workshop, followed by a small mushroom cloud, and everyone watching was collectively excited.

Waiting for the black smoke to clear, everyone saw that the courtyard wall between the gunpowder bureau and the crossbow workshop had been blown down. At the same time, there was a shouting and scolding from the crossbow workshop, and there was a rough voice that was particularly clear: Ri Wei Niang, I have eaten too much and bombarded our courtyard wall with cannons, who is it that kills people?

Another loud voice shouted, "They are bombarding us, and we are shooting them with arrows."

Everyone was noisy, and Zeng Bu's face was full of consternation, and he glared at Wang Han with his eyes at the end.

Wang Han hurriedly explained, "The prime minister is angry, it should be a measurement error, and the normal filling amount should not fly to the root of the wall." ”

didn't think about it, but Zeng Bu flicked his sleeves and pointed at Wang Han, "You, you!" …… With such a powerful thunderbolt rocket, why not show it first? After speaking, he snorted, with a look of disgust and arrogance.

……

Wang Han was momentarily stunned.

……

In the eyes of Zeng Bu and other literati, the evaluation of the strength of a weapon is not based on the lethality of the weapon, but on the visual effect.

When a firearm flies out, it can explode a large burst of fire, and the fire is raging, which is great power, not to mention, the missile also blew up a wall.

Knowing this reason, Wang Han can cry to death, and it can only be said that Zeng Bu is a big joke. There is an essential difference between explosives and gunpowder, no matter how strong gunpowder is, it is only physically burned, and the damage caused is at most within the scope of the fire. The fireball exploded three meters, and that was a three-meter range. Explosives are different, they are chemical reactions, and the damage range of the same volume is more than three times that of gunpowder.

Let's just say that if Wang Han's rockets are placed on the wall, let alone one wall, all three walls will collapse. I don't want to think about it, hundreds of pounds of horses have been blown away, how strong can the mud-made wall be?

But because of this, it was self-defeating, and Wang Han's new firearms were recognized by Zeng Bu, and finally completely recognized the fact that Wang Han had learned the Xuannu Military Book. At the celebration banquet, Zeng Bu said that since it is Heavenly Furui, it should be the Great Song Zhongxing. Then the implementation of the new law should also be on the agenda.

The new law and the old law alternate, Wang Han doesn't care about these things, he only cares about what kind of official he can be. But after drinking a lot of wine, no one mentioned that he was an official, and Wang Han, who was in a hurry, couldn't do it, his eyes were sneaking, and he watched Gao Yu go out to relieve himself, so he followed, pretending to meet him at the door of the toilet, and said that the palace was handsome.

Gao Yu's face was full of red light, nodded at Wang Han, and passed by.

Wang Han stood at the door of the toilet, so embarrassed, even more embarrassed than when he was rejected to give cigarettes to the leader in order to be promoted to non-commissioned officer.

It's a fuss.

After drinking, all the ministers were generously stating that the new law was not good, and there was still a loud voice of opposition, and Wang Han listened to it with a big head, pretending to be too strong to drink, sue the official family, and go home to sleep.

In order to build a missile, Wang Han didn't have a good rest for a few days, and he slept beautifully this night, sleeping for a day and a night. When he woke up, Zhang took a set of groom's clothes for him to try, and asked, "Bao'er, is there anything important to do?" ”

Wang Han shook his head.

Zhang said: "There is no best, I will go to various relatives with my mother from tomorrow, and I will get married in ten days, and there are many things to prepare." ”

Wang Han realized that he was about to get married in a trance.

Marriage is a good thing, Wang Han is naturally happy, but he can't let go of the obsession of being an official. As a soldier, it is his duty to obey orders, Wang Han has seen what the end of the world will be like, and he has never forgotten the purpose of his visit. If the task is going well, it is okay to be leisurely, but I have been here for three years, and I have not even built a basic industrial foundation, and I have always pressed a string in my heart.

Thinking about it muffled and sighing.

Zhang was puzzled when he heard this, "I'm going to get married, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Han smiled, "Nothing goes well, but I'm a little nervous." ”

Zhang looked at his son with pity, "Don't be nervous, when that day comes, the eldest sister of the Li family will be in charge." ”

After Zhang finished speaking, Wang Han was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, Zhang was saying: Gua Wazi, don't be nervous, when it comes to the night of the cave room, the eldest sister of the Li family will teach you how to do things.

What he said made Wang Han speechless, and at the same time thought that this is the difficulty of orphans and widows, if they are left in a normal family, these words should be taught by their father. Thinking of this, it extends again, that Zhang is only thirty-four or five, and he is still young, so early ...... widowhood?

Do you want to help her find someone?

This thought only appeared in Wang Han's mind for a moment, and it immediately shook away. The Great Song Dynasty is not a later generation, children worry about their parents will make their parents happy, and in the Great Song Dynasty, the son opened his mouth to find a home for his mother, which means that he wants to sweep his mother out of the house, which will make people scold him for being unfilial.

Speaking of which, it is also the sadness of women in this era.

After two days at home, the documents of the Privy Council came down, and Wang Han's dream of being an official finally came true, because of his meritorious work in developing new types of firearms, he was promoted to the captain of the imperial martial arts in front of the palace, and led the Gunpowder Bureau to develop the loyal training Bao Yilang.

Wang Han was stunned by these two heads, and he didn't know what kind of official this was, so he hurried to find Xuanzan. Xuanzan explained that the captain of the imperial military school in front of the palace was an eight-rank military attachΓ©, so he was issued with half-body leather armor and a green robe, but he was a loose official, just like a defense envoy, who only received a salary and had no real job. The Gunpowder Bureau's R&D Zhongxun Bao Yilang is a Jiupin real job, and he has to do things every day.

To put it simply, it is to take the salary from the eighth grade and do the work of the ninth grade.

In addition, Xuanzan frowned and said, "Brother, you have offended people in the court. ”

Wang Han asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

Xuanzan explained that normally, if he is promoted due to meritorious research and development, he should be a civil official position, which is convenient for promotion in the future. The appointment of a military attache is to cut off the channels for future promotion from the congenital. Especially the R&D Bao Yilang in the back, who directly slapped Wang Han to death.

Xuan praised: "The Gunpowder Bureau has developed it, unless you make an earth-shattering powerful firearm, you will be Bao Yilang until you die, at most you will be born in the third order, and you will be given a six-grade, and you will be born in this life." ”

Wang Han, who listened, was stunned for a moment, "So, is someone deliberately secretly embarrassed?" ”

I can't bear it, Wang Han is not afraid of making enemies, he has the ability to come head-on, what kind of ability is it to stumble in secret? After all, the people in power in the DPRK and China are all civilian officials, and aren't civil officials doing the work of secretly stumbling up?

Thinking about humming twice, it doesn't matter, the big wedding is coming, don't worry about them, and wait until the marriage is over, and then pack up such cowardice one by one. Start with Zeng Bu first, and make the old thing arrogant.

But he said that when he became an official, he was no longer free, and he went to the gunpowder bureau every day to light it, and under the control of Song Wen, he was also kind, and found him a separate experimental room, so that he could continue to develop new types of firearms.

There was also time, Wang Han felt that the accuracy of the rocket was not good enough, and it was easy to be affected by external forces, resulting in a mistake of hitting the wrong and hitting high, which was very bad on the battlefield, and he wanted to make real shells.

The real shell consisted of two parts, the propellant, the explosive part.

Black powder was used for propellant propellant, and iron projectiles were used for the explosive part, and the test was conducted with a fist-sized projectile first. In this way, the experiment becomes complicated, not only to make a projectile, but also to find a cannon barrel to fire.

Ling Wei gave a proposal, "Junior official, if you are looking for someone to test the gun, I have someone I know." ”

Wang Han asked, "But who is it?" ”

Ling Wei replied: "It's my brother, three years younger than me, as a deputy gunner in the Jiazhan Warehouse, called Ling Zhen." ”

Wang Han didn't care about the front, but when he talked about Ling Zhen Wang Han, he was stunned for a long time on the spot, and he didn't wake up in a trance until Ling Wei pushed him, laughing.

Ling Zhen! Ha ha! Ling Zhen! What a Ling Zhen.

Wang Han laughed, making Ling Wei nervous, not knowing why he was laughing.

Who is Ling Zhen? That is the first artillery player in Tokyo recorded in the Water Margin, known as the thunder, a good cannon, followed Hu Yanzhuo to attack Liangshan, but was tricked into the water to arrest, and finally became a good man ranked 52nd in Liangshan, which is one of the few people in Liangshan who has a good death.

But I didn't expect to meet here. Wang Han was overjoyed and said to Ling Wei: "Call him quickly, let me see his means of using artillery." ”

Ling Wei looked confused, "Little official, my brother is only proficient in making artillery, and he can't make cannons." ”

Wang Han was stunned when he heard this, the thunder won't make a cannon? Are you kidding me? His eyes rolled twice, suspicious, but he couldn't get it right, just pacing back and forth.

After thinking about it, he asked Ling Wei, "Why did you introduce him to me?" ”

Ling Wei replied: "The younger brother can only make artillery, and the most important thing in the armor warehouse is artillery, those who make crossbows and bows have been promoted, and the younger brother still lives behind after many years of hard work." ”

Answering like this, Wang Han understood, Ling Zhen was a cannon maker, but he couldn't be reused, Ling Wei wanted to find a way out for him, and it happened that he was going to try a new type of firearm here, so he introduced him.

So the question is, if Wang Han hadn't traveled to this time and space, what would have been the result for Ling Zhen? Will he continue to build artillery in the armor, or will he suddenly fire artillery and become the number one gunner in Tokyo?

In Wang Han's limited memory, he seems to remember that it was written in the book that Ling Zhen could fight more than ten miles with one shot. From Wang Han's point of view, with the current weapon ability of the Great Song Dynasty, it will be two or three miles away to fight to the death, and no matter how much it is, it is impossible.

In the Water Margin, it is recorded that Ling Zhen shot more than ten miles, mostly boasting, but it is different when Wang Han comes, and it is not difficult to hit more than ten miles with one shot.

Wang Han asked about the three-bow bed crossbow, which could shoot up to 300 meters, and then it would have no power. The farthest range is the ballista, also known as the stone thrower, which can throw the fireball fire thistle terrestris five or six hundred meters away, and spread it out into a large area, hitting the enemy in chaos.

Thinking of this, Wang Han figured out a lot of things, no wonder the Great Song Wenchen looked at the power of the cannon based on the visual effect, because the fireball of the ballista was thrown over, and a large spark was thrown away, and the enemy must have dodged everywhere, afraid of being burned by the fire and forming a panic. This is powerful in Song Jun's eyes.

But in fact, a large fireball is smashed, unless it is right on the top of the head to kill a person, if it is dodged, or if it is splashed with sparks on clothes, at most it will bring burns to the enemy, but it is not easy to die.

But explosives are different, explosives used to be not much of the enemy, they were all cavalry on the flat ground, without any cover, and they exploded into a piece.

Wang Han himself could imagine that when the fireball was thrown into the enemy's pile, it would sputter a large area, scaring the opponent into jumping around. In the past, the bomb was different, and the person who blew it up directly turned on his back.

Of course, fireballs can disrupt enemy formations, cause crowding and stampede, and can also cause massive damage. It is precisely because of this that the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty will look at themselves differently when they see the fireball and the mushroom cloud, and as for the bomb that is only a cloud of fierce green smoke, they don't love it so much.

If you are far away, you still want to go back to Ling Zhen, and what is currently in front of Wang Han has become a problem.

How did Ling Zhen learn to shoot cannons?

Are you new from a later generation, or have you already existed in history?

Don't blame Wang Han for thinking more, if he has existed in history for a long time, but history has not changed, there is a big problem, which involves the paradox of time and space.

I came to change history, but history has not changed, so I will do it myself?

At this time, the Northern Song Dynasty could not make a cannon that shot more than ten miles, so how did the title of thunder Lingzhen come out?

Also, the thunder and lightning spell of the thief Lao Daolin Lingsu, as well as the white smoke on the body of Sun Sheng, the dragon prince of Zhuyun, Wang Han dared to cut off his JJ bet that the people of the Northern Song Dynasty would never be able to get these strange things.

After pacing in place for more than a dozen laps, Wang Han snorted and said to Ling Wei: "Go and call Ling Zhenlai, I have something to ask him." ”
