"Oh, do you still have brothers in the Shura Hall in the Junwu Hall? I haven't heard about this, wait a minute, you give me their names. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Shangguan Xiu said.
"If Brother Xiu wants to treat everyone equally, it's better not to know the names of these brothers. I believe that these brothers don't want Brother Xiu to take special care and special treatment for them. Yuan Mu and Qin Chuan said in unison.
Shangguan Xiu looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, "Okay, this is the person from my Shura Hall, don't rely on relationships, only rely on real talents!"
Qin Chuan took another thick official document, handed it to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Brother Xiu, this is the income and expenditure of Zhenjun County in the previous year, please take a look." ”
This thick pile of documents is the accounts of Zhenjun for a whole year, and large and small incomes and expenditures are recorded on it.
Shangguan Xiu didn't have time to check and check them one by one, so he went directly to the end to look at the general ledger. After seeing the amount of total revenue, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and he said with a smile: "Last year, Zhenjun actually made so much, no wonder you have the confidence to double your military salary." ”
Yuan Mu explained: "At present, the main source of income in Zhenjun is the sale of firearms, and last year, the Central Army was equipped with firearms on a large scale, so that the forge made a lot of money. ”
Shangguan Xiu said thoughtfully: "But this year, I'm afraid that the silver in the forge is not easy to earn, and the Central Army, which should be equipped with firearms, has already been equipped with firearms, and the war is over, so the consumption of firearms will naturally decrease sharply." The forge still needs to find another way, to sell firearms to the local army of other counties, isn't there a lot of businessmen who go to Zhenjun to negotiate the purchase of firearms, and we can also sell surplus firearms to them. "Hey||Words ||Grid can be viewed free of charge
Yuan Mu said with a smile: "Brother Xiu is too worried, Lord Qingyuan expects that the income of the forging workshop this year will be doubled compared to last year's income. ”
"Huh?" "How is this possible?" Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "How did Qingyuan calculate that the income of the forge would be so much this year?"
Yuan Mu smiled and turned his head to look at Qin Chuan, who waved his hand outside, and an attendant walked in from the outside holding a long wooden box.
Qin Chuan took the wooden box, waved his hand to his entourage, and when he went out, Qin Chuan opened the wooden box, took out a firecracker from it, handed it to Shangguan Xiu, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, this is a newly developed firecracker in the forge." ”
Shangguan Xiu took it curiously and looked at it carefully over and over again. This gun is similar to the gun currently equipped in the army, and the appearance has not changed much, only the connection between the butt and the gun barrel has been changed, and some more parts have been added.
He looked at it for a while, and found a circlip near the bed, and he pressed the circlip, and when he broke it hard, he heard a crisp click, and the butt and the barrel were folded apart, and only the steel hinge at the bottom was connected. Shangguan Xiu was taken aback and blurted out, "Breech reload?"
Yuan Mu and Qin Chuan looked at each other and smiled, both of them nodded at the same time, their tones were full of excitement, and they said affirmatively: "It's breech loading!"
"Can it be mass-produced?"
"It can be mass-produced!"
Great! Shangguan Xiu looked at the fire gun in his hand and couldn't help but have his eyes shining. The mass production of breech-loading guns is definitely a big innovation, even a big leap forward in firearms, and its appearance is enough to change the current tactical tactics of firearms.
The only difference is that the ammunition of the breech-loading gun is loaded from the mouth of the barrel, while the ammunition of the breech-loading gun is loaded from the root of the barrel, and the range, power, and accuracy of the gun are not changed.
However, this is only in the eyes of a layman, and in the eyes of Shangguan Xiu, an insider, the mass production of breech-loading firearms is too important.
The breech-loading gun really realizes that the firecracker can reload and shoot in the position of lying down, while the breech-loading firearm cannot be reloaded in the position of lying down in any case, and this alone can greatly reduce the combat damage of the soldiers using the breech-loading firearm.
Firearms battles, fighting is a war of attrition, one side is standing in place to shoot upright, the other side is lying on the ground lying down to shoot, the two sides of the soldiers are attacked by a world of difference, the battle damage is inevitably disproportionate, said that the mass production of breech-loading guns will bring a big change in firearms, the reason is this.
Shangguan Xiu played with this firecracker, he couldn't put it down, he asked, "This is developed by Qingyuan?"
"It's produced in the second forging workshop!"
"Since the breech-loading guns have been developed, why have so many breech-loading guns been mass-produced before, and all of them have been sold to the Central Army?"
Yuan Mu shrugged helplessly and said, "Brother Xiu, the breech-loading firearm has also just been developed, and it was the appearance of the paper shell bullet that inspired Lord Qingyuan. ”
Before the appearance of paper shell bullets, the ammunition of the gun was separated, the breech loading, the bulk gunpowder could not be filled at all, even if it was barely loaded, it was necessary to use a pass tube to tighten the ammunition in the barrel, which was no different from the breech loading, and the paper shell bullet made up for this shortcoming, with the advent of the paper shell bullet, the breech loading gun also naturally came into being.
It can be said that the breech-loading firearm is completely a product of the effect of the paper shell bullet, and the paper shell bullet can be classified as one of the three major inventions that carry forward the firearms, and it is not for nothing.
An incomparably simple and insignificant invention had such a profound impact and major innovation on the development of firearms, which the alchemists who invented the paper shell bomb never expected.
No wonder Qingyuan dares to be so sure, the income of the forge will double this year, with such an advanced firecracker, as long as a fool will choose not to use it, it is not difficult to imagine that with the mass production of breech-loading firearms, the imperial court is bound to purchase a large number of them, and the forge will make a lot of money from it.
Within a few days, the generals and strategists drawn from the Zhenjun Army finally arrived in Shangjing, and the military martial arts hall was officially on the right track.
The Zhenjun Army was the first batch of Feng soldiers to use firearms, and the Zhenjun Army's understanding of firearms was naturally much deeper than the ideals of the Feng Army soldiers of other legions, and their actual combat experience was much richer.
They are different from the gentlemen who talk about soldiers on paper, while teaching the students firearms tactics and tactics, it is more important to teach them the experience of actual combat, and these experiences are the experience of countless soldiers who have repeatedly groped on the battlefield, exchanged for blood, sweat and life, even with gold and silver.
On this day, Tang Ling summoned Shangguan Xiu.
In the dormitory, Tang Ling was reviewing the recitals, and when she saw Shangguan Xiu coming, she immediately put down the pen in her hand, raised her head, and said in a weird manner: "Is it that I don't summon you to the palace, and you plan to never enter the palace to see me?"
Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly, he walked to the bed, sat down slowly, sighed tiredly, and said, "Busy with official business." ”
Tang Ling didn't ignore the tiredness on his face, and while feeling distressed, he snorted twice dissatisfied, and said, "Busy with official business, I think you're busy making money!"
"Huh?"
She picked up a note and said, "This is your note, what kind of breech firearm do you want the imperial court to equip with a new type of firecracker, the new firearm equipped by the Central Army has been less than a year, why do you want to update it again?" Ah Xiu, do you want to make Zhenjun a rich country?"
Shangguan Xiu shook his head helplessly, and explained: "The knowledge in the field of firearms is broad and profound, and we are also in the exploration stage, only involving the skin, and the replacement is indeed faster, but there is no way, the new type of firearms is developed, our country does not use it, and the enemy country will also use it, and when it comes to the battlefield, our army can only be beaten passively." ”
Tang Ling put down the song, walked to Shangguan Xiu's side, sat down, changed his words, and asked, "Have you often been going to the Lingwu Academy to teach lately?"
"I don't go there often, but I only go when I'm free. ”
"I've heard that the students love you. ”
Shangguan Xiu grinned, pretended to be contemplative, and said, "If you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case. ”
Tang Ling pursed his lips and added, "I also heard that the female students in the academy especially like you. ”
Shangguan Xiu almost choked on his own saliva and looked at Tang Ling blankly. The latter smiled indifferently, and before she could say anything, she said again: "I arranged a house for Hailey in Shangjing, and Hailey is now living in Shangjing, in the afternoon, I want to go over and have a look, Ah Xiu, you can go with me!"
Hai Li will choose to settle in Shangjing, Shangguan Xiu is somewhat surprised, he thought that Hai Li will live in Beijun, and try to counterattack the great cause nearby, and now she has settled in Shangjing, which is equivalent to giving up the competition for the Jinsk city-state.
He said quietly, "I thought that Ellie was not someone who would easily admit defeat. ”
"Who said she threw in the towel?"
"If she doesn't admit defeat, why did she choose to settle in Shangjing?"
"Living in Shangjing, her situation will be safer, there are too many Besa people in Beijun, no one dares to guarantee that there are no assassins sent by Anthony, Shangjing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, even if the assassins sent by Anthony arrive in Shangjing, they will be a little worried, and they dare not attack Hailey easily. By the way, Ah Xiu, Hailey also wants to recommend a group of subordinates to enter the martial arts, and when we meet this afternoon, you can have a good talk with her. Hailey's current situation is also caused by us, so if you help her, try to help her!"
Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "It turns out that Xiang'er attaches so much importance to friendship. ”
Tang Ling gave him a blank look and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I'm hard-hearted?!"
After lunch, Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling went to Hailey's residence.
This time, Tang Ling traveled without casual clothes, and was escorted out of the palace by many Praetorian Guards and Tongtianmen disciples. The accommodation that Tang Ling arranged for Hai Li was not small, even if the scale of this big mansion was not as good as the Zhenguo Mansion, it was not much smaller.
didn't expect Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu to come, Hailey was very surprised and greeted her from the mansion.
Perhaps because of the relationship between the locals, Hailey did not wear a Bassa costume, but changed into a skirt of the Wind Country, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and a fluttering shirt, not only did not have a sense of disobedience, but also made people feel a unique charm.
"The people see Your Majesty, Lord Shangguan!" Hai Li bowed down with the etiquette of the Wind Country.
During this time, Hailey's wind and language can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, and when she speaks, she does not seem stiff at all, and her words are correct and round. Tang Ling walked up to Hailey with a smile, helped her up, and said with a smile: "Let's go in and talk." ”
