Chapter Seventy-Two: The Imperial History of the Left Capital Opposes
This gun, which is rare, is rare, uses bullets with integrated ammunition, which is too difficult to make and cannot be mass-produced.
However, His Majesty the Emperor is still qualified to play a hand.
Fang Jue thought that as long as the emperor liked to play with this thing, he would vigorously develop the musket......
Xiao Chaoguo and Wang Feng both saw Fang Jue's thoughts, but they were not good at sweeping Emperor Yaxing, and they didn't dare to obstruct it.
Ye Hongyi asked cautiously, "Fang Jue, what should Your Majesty do if you hurt yourself?" ”
"No, although Your Majesty is not on the list of masters, his martial arts are not inferior to the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes."
Fang Jue said, walked over and pulled the bolt, stuffed a bullet, and finished loading.
Cai said: "Your Majesty, within three hundred steps, you can hit ...... accurately All you have to do is look at the crosshair, the eyes, the crosshair, and the target...... The rest is up to talent and luck. ”
The knowledge of shooting is too profound, and Fang Jue also knows only half of it, it is not the level of a sniper at all, so he can only teach this level.
"Three hundred steps, I can barely see anything, can this thing hit?" Mo Yuan was a little disdainful.
The shot this morning, less than a hundred and fifty paces apart, could easily be done with a strong bow.
Xiao Pingsi waved his hand, not listening to Mo Yuan at all, and asked Fang Jue curiously: "Sir, the hidden weapon shot by this thing will not fall?" ”
"There will be errors, but the speed is too fast, and the weight of the shot is small, so the fall is not obvious." Fang Jue said.
After testing, Fang Jue knew the performance of this bolt sniper.
Within 300 steps, it can probably hit accurately, and if it exceeds it, there will be a significant fall, as well as being affected by the environment, and it takes a more professional master to hit the target.
"If that's the case, then it's really an artifact!" Xiao Ping silicon is overjoyed.
Immediately, he held his gun and chose a place more than 260 paces away.
A tree.
"Bang!"
When the bullet fired, the tree trembled, Xiao Pingsi glanced at it, and Ye Hongyi immediately rushed over to look.
"Hit!"
Ye Hongyi came back and shouted: "Your Majesty hit one of the trees and only half of the wings left!" ”
When Xiao Pingsi heard that he really hit, he immediately laughed: "There really isn't much falling...... This thing is an artifact, with a little training...... It's easier to train than that archer! ”
Every qualified emperor is bound to be a master of military and politics.
Fang Jue secretly praised that Xiao Pingsi really had the eyesight and saw the biggest advantage of the musket compared to the bow and arrow.
Archers need strength, they need experience, they need to judge the arc of the arrow in order to hit the target.
There is no need for a musket, the aim is basically stable, even if he is not a soldier, as long as he is taught how to use it, he can basically go to the battlefield.
Of course, the average musket could not catch up with the accuracy of the "01".
"Young Master, does this musket produce energy?" Xiao Pingsi didn't care about the others at all, and asked on the spot.
After witnessing the power of the musket, everyone's faces were different.
The emperor wants mass production, and his thoughts are always for the world and power.
But they don't really want to see that this musket can be mass-produced, otherwise who will learn martial arts at that time?
"Back to Your Majesty, this musket is the only one in the world and cannot be mass-produced." Fang Jue shook his head.
"That's a shame......"
Fang Jue said again: "However, a musket that is one grade lower than this can be tried." ”
"Huh?" The emperor's eyes lit up.
"It's a grade lower, is there one, bring it to me and show it!"
Fang Jue nodded, and said to the pawn: "Go to the warehouse and drag out the box sealed with the fire number." ”
"Go to the cellar again and get that box of ammunition out for me."
"Yes......"
Taking advantage of the free time, Fang Fu brought the maid to serve tea, and ordered people to put tables and chairs in the field.
When he got it back, the emperor looked like a curious baby again.
"Open it." Fang Jue said.
Dianyi skillfully unpacked, and he was also present when these things were loaded, and he was also curious about what was inside.
Soon, a box of arquebuses lay in front of everyone.
It's not a fire door gun that needs to be ignited, it's too backward, even if he knows that it needs to be developed step by step, Fang Jue still eliminated that thing.
This batch of arquebuses is actually a tunnel gun, but in order to be able to fire in various environments, Fang Jue left a fiery rope.
"This ......"
Xiao Pingsi pointed to the musket: "What's the difference with the previous one?" ”
From their point of view, this thing looks similar, just like a yellow person looks at a foreigner and feels face blind.
Fang Jue picked up a musket and took out a box of gunpowder, strips, and lead bullets from the ammunition box on the side.
It is possible to use other metal ammunition, such as iron bullets, but it is not necessary and expensive.
Lead is cheap and has magic damage......
skillfully insert the musket into the ground with the mouth facing up, remove the gunpowder from the matchbox-sized box and stuff it into the muzzle; With a throughbar, that is, an elongated iron rod, it is stabbed and pressed tightly; Then put in the buckshot and then compact it with a whole strip.
After tinkering, most of the minutes passed.
Fang Jue took the loaded musket and said, "Your Majesty, you can shoot it." ”
"So long?" The crowd was a little disgusted.
The musket just now, stuffed with bullets and bolts, was only a few breaths, and it was suddenly dwarfed by comparison.
Xiao Pingsi said: "Let's try it, how far can you hit?" ”
Fang Jue said with a smile: "Naturally, it can't compare to the previous one, but it is also farther than a bow and arrow, and its power is stronger." ”
As he spoke, Fang Jue turned on the bolt, put the final firing powder on the medicine tray, and raised the barrel of the gun to aim at a tree fifty paces away.
The moment he pulled the trigger, Fang Jue was a little enthusiastic.
"Bang!"
The little sapling exploded directly and fell, and the power really scared everyone.
"Vaillant is good." Xiao Pingsi nodded in approval.
"Within fifty steps, even the heavy armor is difficult to prevent." Mo Yuan frowned and sighed a little, is martial arts really about to withdraw from the stage of history?
Xiao Chaoguo's mood was also very complicated, and he looked at Fang Jue: "The young master is worthy of being a genius in the world, and second-class muskets have such power, there will be no place for martial arts in the future......"
"It's just too slow to reload." Ye Hongyi shook his head, feeling that at this speed, he would have died under the bow and arrow.
"But if there are enough of them, let some people fire and others reload...... In this way, it can be realized that there is ammunition to meet the enemy at every moment......" Fang Jue said.
Xiao Pingsi nodded, and saw that the two masters under him seemed to be a little excited, and suddenly smiled:
"Aiqing doesn't have to bother herself, such a heavy weapon, I'm afraid it will be difficult to install it all."
Fang Jue also nodded: "Exactly, Your Majesty, although the power and range of the musket surpass that of the bow and arrow, it cannot be completely replaced in a few decades." ”
The smelting and manufacturing of muskets required strong craftsmen.
The power of the musket depends on the gunpowder recipe and the structure of the musket.
In a short period of time, Fang Jue didn't plan to make too many changes in this.
Because he is also afraid that others will steal the school, and then in turn counter himself, then he will play off.
Now that he has come up with an inferior version, if he is unfortunate enough to be stolen, Fang Jue can also come up with a more advanced one, and he can always hide a hand to counter the other party.
"Moreover, the mass production of muskets requires many craftsmen and a long construction period...... A large amount of ore, labor, financial resources ......"
"In short, to equip a battalion, all craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry need to work hard in Beijing for more than half a year...... Therefore, it has to be slowly figured out, and it will be a few years before it can form combat power. ”
"Good!"
When Xiao Pingsi heard this, he immediately said: "I will order the young master to supervise the construction of the Musket Bureau, and let the Ministry of Industry cooperate with you to set up a forging office next to Fangjiazhuang!" ”
When Fang Jue heard this, his face was calm: "Your Majesty, the most important thing about this thing is not to make it, but to keep it secret. ”
"Hiss......" Everyone suddenly became nervous.
Especially Wang Feng.
After seeing the power of the musket, everyone knew that the Xia Kingdom had an artifact.
The six countries in the world, after learning about it, are afraid that they will do everything possible to steal it.
Won't it be an enemy when the time comes?
Therefore, before this thing is unveiled on the battlefield for the first time, it cannot be shown, and those who know it must also be sealed.
The emperor looked at everyone, Wang Feng trembled, and thought that he was about to finish.
"Zhongqing is cautious in his words and deeds, if this matter is reported, he will be ruthless!" Xiao Pingsi said to everyone warningly.
"Obey." Mo Yuan took the lead, and then everyone spoke in unison.
Xiao Pingsi said again: "The Hanging Sword Division and the Forbidden Army must work closely together to defend the Musket Forging Institute...... No, no, no, no, the young master will select men from the Hanging Sword Division and the Forbidden Army, and select craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to form a musket bureau. ”
"Yes......"
……
The next day, above the court, Wang Feng read out the emperor's will.
"Musket Bureau?" Zhuge Qingshan's face was surprised, and he asked, "Your Majesty, what is this, why doesn't the cabinet know?" ”
He is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he can take care of all government and military affairs, unless it is the emperor's private matter.
But this matter, to mobilize the people of various departments, is obviously not the royal family's own business, of course Zhuge Qingshan can question.
In the face of questioning, Xiao Pingsi is really difficult to explain, after all, it must be kept secret.
"I ...... It has its own great use, and the first assistant doesn't have to ask, and he will see it after a few years. "Xiao Pingsi's authenticity is unquestionable.
Zhuge Qingshan was stunned, it was the first time he was answered like this by the emperor, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.
But another iron-headed baby, regardless of the emperor's face, went out on the spot.
"The Imperial History of the Imperial History of the Left Minister...... Qin Shiyi"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Pingsi covered his forehead and looked down helplessly, and the trolls of Yushitai jumped out again.
Qin Shiyi was upright and Ling Ran: "The minister thought that the formation of the Musket Bureau was too hasty, and His Majesty called the Hanging Sword Division, the Household Department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Forbidden Army...... They all came for the musket bureau, and the ministers thought that this move would cost the people and money, and if it was not necessary, it could not be carried out! ”
"The minister seconded the proposal...... Zhuge Qingshan didn't expect that he would also agree with Qin Shiyi one day.
"Ministers, second." Most of the ministers also expressed their positions.
Although you are the emperor and can be willful, you suddenly have to use so many people from all walks of life, as well as a lot of money from the treasury, just to create a musket bureau?
If you don't give a suitable reason, who knows if you are mediocre and want to have fun?
You can't let you lose!
