Zhang Jiashi, on the other hand, became a hard worker for Yingzheng in a sense, and was forced to contribute hundreds of blank papers that he brought with him.
Of course, it is said that it is a contribution, but in fact, it is Yingzheng who used his identity to help Zhang Jiashi do a very good publicity.
Many of the civil and military officers in the team, after seeing this kind of lightweight, and it is said that the price is far cheaper than silk silk or even some bleached linen, they wanted to use their status to let Zhang Jiashi hand over this kind of production method that they could all see that the money was immeasurable.
However, regardless of Zhang Jiashi's current status, he is higher than many people in the team, as General Zuo, who has actual military power, this name and the brave tiger wolf under Zhang Jiashi's command have made many people give up such an idea.
At an opportune time, after Ying Zheng announced that the Great Qin government would order paper worth thousands of gold from Zhang Jiashi, many people showed a trace of envy and jealousy in their eyes when they looked at Zhang Jiashi.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi will not take these people's thoughts and possible actions to heart.
Because, as the core area of the Mo family and the key protection area of Zhang Jiashi, the Mo family and part of Zhang Jiashi's personal guards are staggered to protect the inside and outside of Liaodong's military construction.
Zhang Jiashi can say with great confidence that in addition to a few non-human beings coming at once, or a large number of troops, some people want to infiltrate or forcibly enter the Liaodong military area that guards even more strictly than his mansion, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
So he silently thought about Yingzheng and thanked him in his heart. Because the other party can let him unconditionally hand over such papermaking technology to the other party, but as Ying Zheng said, he still disdains to do such dirty things.
And Ying Zheng used the same weight of linen cloth to trade with Zhang Jiashi after thinking twice. Although he knew that the price was a bit high, Ying Zheng regarded the price difference as a gift to his grandson or granddaughter who had not yet met or had no chance to see.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi would not be so ignorant, anyway, in his planning, there is no need to put such a thing as movable type printing on the agenda.
Therefore, after seeking the consent of Ying Zheng, Zhang Jiashi made a bronze printing movable type mold carved out of bronze in Julu County.
However, in the demonstration of actual printing, there were some small errors. That is, because manpower cannot do the same as machine engraving, many bronze molds printed small seal fonts, there are some different shades.
At the same time, due to some factors, the bronze mold is easily affected by the effect of thermal expansion and cold contraction, and the font becomes different in size.
Although it is said that the effect of clay molds used in movable type printing will be better, at this time, the difficulty of processing clay molds by hand is actually more difficult than carving out the small seal characters on the reverse side.
Watching a piece of paper with words printed on it come out, Ying Zheng picked up some of the pieces of paper that looked a little illegible and fell into deep thought.
As a wise emperor, Ying Zheng was of course well aware of the impact of these things, although he also saw that there were still many things that needed to be improved in this printing technique before he could do it better. But once it matures, there will be more people in Great Qin who will be able to accept and recognize Great Qin's laws, and there will rarely be problems caused by unclear laws.
After Ying Zheng put down the paper, he looked at Zhang Jiashi silently, he couldn't understand why the little bastard in his eyes brought him so many surprises. But he didn't say anything, but looked at Zhang Jiashi and said slowly: "Well, these people and the craftsmen who have participated, in a few days, you can bring them back to Liaodong." ”
"Huh!?" Zhang Jiashi was stunned, because he had already planned to hand over this technology to Ying Zheng. Because he doesn't need this kind of printing technology that has not yet been effectively perfected.
In Zhang Jiashi's mind, a complete set of printing systems with a great improvement in quality is not on the mold itself, but on how to better make the printing mold and print it more neatly.
Zhang Jiashi's vision is to use a complete set of gear technology to operate an integrated man-controlled printing press. This primitive mechanical operation is not even comparable to the electric machines of later generations, and even the steaming semi-automatic machinery.
However, the efficiency and quality are still much better than the complicated operation methods during the Song Dynasty.
After coming to this world and experiencing so many things, Zhang Jiashi realized a situation that he would not have thought about before.
That is, there are some things that are not impossible to do, but no one thinks of them.
Of course, like the flintlock pistol of later generations, Zhang Jiashi knows very well that this thing really wants to get it but can't do it.
At the very least, until the right steel comes out, a musket that is not as good as a burning stick will be useless in this world.
If Zhang Jiashi popularized those more cheating firearms...... He could fully imagine that these musketeers, in the face of a large number of strong bows and crossbows, were very likely to have no ability to fight back at all.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
One night, Zhang Jiashi thought about whether firearms could have a place in this idea.
During the battle with the Donghu people, Zhang Jiashi discovered several serious problems.
First: the power of black powder, perhaps at this time, is still enough. But like that kind of other thing, which can blow up the city wall, Zhang Jiashi found that this is a fool's dream in many senses.
Of course, if you put a few hundred kilograms of black powder under the city walls, it will still have some effect. It's just that it's almost impossible to do this in reality.
The enemy defending the walls is not a fool, and it makes it so easy for you to place such a large amount of gunpowder in the area to be attacked.
It may be possible to blow up the city gates, but if the defenders place a large number of stones or large and heavy debris behind the city gates, it is estimated that this difficulty is no easier than blowing up the city walls.
In a word, the power of black powder is simply not enough.
As for the more powerful picric acid or yellow gunpowder (N), the Great Qin Empire, which basically only has alchemy medicine on this chemical basis, wants to make it...... Zhang Jiashi knew very well that the difficulty was no less than making a suitable quasi-modern musket.
It can be said that the power of black powder restricts Zhang Jiashi's ideas for the research and development of firearms.
Of course, in the field, some things similar to grenades or land mines can still be used.
Moreover, in Bai Qi's vision, if firearms were to be used on a large scale, many corresponding tactics would need to be changed.
Of course, don't be stupid about that kind of tunnel scramble tactic. If these tactics were used, many Qin soldiers, not to mention long weapons, would not be able to use even the swords of some officers.
Perhaps, a little pistol is a little more practical.
This kind of tactic that harms others and is not beneficial to himself, Zhang Jiashi completely left it behind.
There's also the problem that defensive bunkers are, to a large extent, also quite difficult to use.
Crossbowmen can be arranged inside, but there is a problem, that is, in the absence of effective firing angles, which can basically only shoot horizontally, these crossbowmen often lose effective means of projectile suppression.
If the bunker is fired at a larger position, the bunker's protection will be worse.
Perhaps, it would be more effective to build hermetically sealed firing battlements at the top of the city.
In a sentence from Bai Qi, the tactics and corresponding supporting facilities of later generations were mainly dominated by the weapons of the time.
Until you have solved the problem of effective firearms manufacturing, using the methods of warfare of the afterlife is only asking for trouble.
Well, Zhang Jiashi had to give up that modern or modern way of tactics.
......
On the other hand, Bai Qi believed that under the condition of being able to obtain suitable materials, the production of some relatively excellent cold weapons in later generations was undoubtedly a way for Zhang Jiashi's troops to effectively improve their combat effectiveness.
For example, bows and crossbows made of high-quality wood or steel.
It's like the Song Dynasty's divine arm crossbow, such a pouting crossbow has become a waist crossbow or a kicking crossbow in many ways, after all, there are very few people who can pull the divine arm crossbow with their hands.
However, the effect of the Divine Arm Crossbow, which has been greatly improved, in many ways, is not comparable to that of the Pouting Crossbow with less power.
As for the repeater, Bai Qi didn't like this thing at all, and was more and more inclined to the power and range of Bai Qi, believing that long-range effective means of killing could sacrifice a little rate of fire to achieve greater results.
Of course, Bai Qi knows very well that the training time of a crossbowman is shorter, but the resources and time required for a well-performing crossbow are often more and longer than some bows and arrows.
For cost reasons, Bai Qi thought that it would be better if the equipment of a force, crossbowmen, and archers could be universal.
That is to say, Bai Qi prefers the kind of compound bow that can be mounted on the crossbow machine, which can be mounted and disassembled.
However, Bai Qi himself knows very well that the difficulty of doing this is not ordinary, and many aspects involved are not at all what Zhang Jiashi can afford or face now.
Moreover, this kind of universal bow and crossbow is also impossible to talk about until many core problems are solved.
Therefore, Bai Qi finally gave Zhang Jiashi a suggestion: "Perhaps, the Japanese longbow will be more suitable for you." ”
Of course, Zhang Jiashi knows what the Japanese longbow is. This kind of Japanese longbow is also introduced to a certain extent in the Blue Jade Spirit Book.
Although it is said that the Japanese longbow is difficult to carry out projectile suppression. And when you ride on a horse, you basically can't do a large-angle projectile.
However, the Japanese longbow also has an advantage, that is, in terms of effective lethality, the speed and power of the Japanese longbow, with the corresponding quality of arrows, the armor-piercing ability is much better than that of many compound bows.
As for why it's not an English longbow? Bai Qi said very simply: "Have you ever heard that the English longbow can be used for mounted shooting?"
The biggest difference between Mediterranean archery and Mongolian archery is that it is almost impossible to perform mounted archery in Mediterranean archery.
Mongolian archery, strictly speaking, is the archery method of the Eastern civilization system, not invented by the Mongols. The current knights of the Qin army, as long as they can use mounted archery, they use Mongolian-style archery.
Therefore, Shiraki is more blue-eyed for the Japanese longbow in many ways.
It's just that Zhang Jiashi also thought of a very serious problem, that is, the Japanese longbow is also very difficult to make. It's not that Japanese materials are harsh, but that the processing is correspondingly difficult.
As for the English longbow...... Well, Zhang Jiashi really remembered one thing, that is, in Daqin, there is basically no yew that is the best wood for making wood.
Bai Qi said helplessly: "Daqin's bow and crossbow making art, like many things, is not backward at all. ”
After Zhang Jiashi heard this, he remembered one thing, that is, as Bai Qi said, the bows and arrows produced by the Great Qin Soldiers performed quite well.
Being able to effectively suppress the Huns or Donghu people who are riding and shooting in the plains is itself an experience of production technology.
Of course, many of today's salvos are shot only when the horse is stopped, and in a sense, this method can be regarded as dragoons, and there are very few people who can shoot quickly when they shoot on horses.
Otherwise, before letting the cavalry attack, Zhang Jiashi would not have carried out the kind of running training that brought a lot of non-combat losses.
Of course, the range that Rush can effectively increase is actually quite small.
If Zhang Jiashi were to assemble this kind of Japanese longbow made with Daqin technology on a large scale, Zhang Jiashi still did not have a certain number of how much combat capability would be improved. Of course, there are many things, but Zhang Jiashi still thinks that seeing is believing first.
Perhaps, the way the Japanese longbow shoots needs to be changed, but for the archers who have already taken shape, such a change is not a major problem.
Zhang Jiashi recorded the question he discussed with Bai Qi in a piece of paper, because he didn't believe Bai Qi, but he still had some doubts, because Zhang Jiashi wanted to see the effect before deciding what he was going to do.
......
This is followed by some reflections on other standard weapons of the army.
In Zhang Jiashi's vision, the weapons of the cavalry might be able to be made into long knives and the like. But his idea was refuted by Bai Qi as "incomplete":
"Long knives? That thing is only good for infantry and chariots. Even if you have stirrups and a saddle, you'll find that this kind of long knife is not easy to use on horseback. ”
"Then why is there any Green Dragon Glaive in the novel?"
"Can you control that? If you slash it out, you'll probably be taken off the horse. What Xuanhua axe or something, it's pretty much the same. Oh, and that mace, you'd better forget about it. ”
Bai Qi's words made Zhang Jiashi very silent.
But as Bai Qi said, the kind of weapon that is easily counter-towed by the weapon is not suitable for use on horseback at all.
All cavalry basically attacked the enemy with thorns rather than other long weapon strikes.
Short weapons are counted separately, after all, scimitars and the like are one-handed weapons.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi's triangular thick-backed knife is also a one-handed weapon.
After being silent for a while, Zhang Jiashi said in a weak voice: "So, how do I equip myself with melee weapons?"
"There is no need to make much improvements, and the current weapons are basically suitable for the needs of the current battlefield. Bai Qi's words made Zhang Jiashi continue to be silent.
Bai Qi then said: "You really don't need to make too many changes to some weapons, but you still have to replace some weapons." For example, the accessories of officers, the kind of sword blades that are too long, are quite difficult to use for ordinary people many times. ”
Zhang Jiashi showed a puzzled expression: "So what weapon is the most suitable?"
"Mo knife or Japanese sword. Bai Qi continued: "The Mo knife can be used as a heavy weapon, and in a sense, a sword handle that can be disassembled is designed, and the short handle of the Mo knife has a stronger self-defense ability. Of course, the cost of large-scale installation of Mo Dao, you can't support it now. ”
Zhang Jiashi was silent, because he knew very well that what Bai Qi said was the truth, although the Mo knife was good, it was easy to scrap and the forging price was quite high, which showed that the Mo knife could not be installed on a large scale.
It might be okay to form a Modao force, and it can also be used as an elite force. However, such troops are massively widespread, and on the contrary, there is no point.
The Japanese sword can be used on a horse, as it can be used against lightly armored or unarmored enemies, and its excellent chopping ability makes Zhang Jiashi very clear about the practicality of Japanese swords.
At the very least, in the face of the peasant army, the Huns in the north and the Donghu people, the lethality that the Japanese sword can bring is stronger.
Of course, there is a question that Zhang Jiashi also has no confidence in his heart, that is, even if it is a steel Japanese sword, it can be cut against the scimitar of the Xiongnu Donghu and whether it will break. Zhang Jiashi is even more unclear about this matter.
So Zhang Jiashi also recorded this plan in the end.
As for other weapons, Zhang Jiashi didn't have any ideas, after all, there were many weapons, as Bai Qi said, and they had not yet reached the point where they needed to be eliminated.
Finally, Zhang Jiashi slowly raised his head, he saw the flickering fire outside the tent, and yawned......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In the past few days that Zhang Jiashi accompanied him, Zhang Jiashi found that many of the accompanying Great Qin Princes did not specifically communicate with him at all.
Zhang Jiashi, who is happy to be idle, will also not think about this situation. After all, for him, being too good with these sons is a matter of asking for trouble.
If the other party doesn't come to him, isn't it a good thing for Zhang Jiashi?
It's just that there are some things he really can't dodge. That is, after Yinghuhai stopped camping again, Yinghuhai found him, hoping that he could gather together in his camp.
Zhang Jiashi, who remembered some things, could only nod bitterly in his heart......
