Chapter 281: Test the gun
Li Er couldn't help but think of his dream of conquering Goguryeo when he heard it, and he was so excited, Li Yong said very disdainfully at the beginning, what a big deal should it be, for which he was indignant for a long time, Li Yong actually despised him? However, now he finally understands where Li Yong got the confidence to despise him, because of the musket, with the musket, with the artillery, just Goguryeo, is that still a problem? Conquer Goguryeo, the thought of conquering Goguryeo, he was excited in his heart, he is the eternal heavenly khan, the former Sui died because of the conquest of Goguryeo, if he conquered Goguryeo, of course, it can be regarded as creating a great cause through the ages, if Li Yong knows what Li Er thinks in his heart, he will be very disdainful, and the first emperor of the ages, look at your little talent, the world is very big, and the fight to death may not be finished, Li Yong's words mean something, but others can't hear it at all, Because Li Erzheng's dream of Goguryeo was told to Li Yong except for the queen, the others listened to Li Yong's words, but they just felt that Li Yong was patting the sycophants, and this sycophants were very good, and they slapped the emperor's heart, and seeing that Li Erlong Yan Dayue had already started YY, Li Yong felt that it was necessary to give him a basin of cold water to calm down.
"It's not that the minister is reluctant to popularize muskets to the whole army, it's just that muskets have just been developed, and the manufacturing capacity of the firearms supervisor is also limited, so it would be good to be able to make two or three hundred guns a month."
Li Yong said with a smile, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others were stunned when they heard it, what is it? It takes only two or three thousand pieces of such a sharp weapon to be made a year, so can it be assembled into the whole army in the year of the monkey? Not to mention assembling it to the whole army, but it is difficult to assemble the Shenji Battalion, Li Er also understands that the craftsmen of the Firearms Supervision today have to make both artillery and muskets, and the manpower is naturally insufficient, but since it is necessary to assemble the muskets to the whole army, the bows and arrows will be eliminated, and it is natural that a large number of bows and arrows that make bows and arrows can be transferred to the Firearms Supervisor, Li Er said with a wave of his hand.
"There is no need to worry about the problem of manpower, a certain will send craftsmen to the firearms superintendent as soon as possible, and if you need anything, you must make tens of thousands of muskets a year."
The musket really conquered Li Er completely, Li Yong said with a smile.
"The saint doesn't need to be anxious, in fact, the minister who added the bayonet is only imagining, and the firearms supervisor has not yet been manufactured, and it needs to be continued to be developed."
"Intensify research and development, step up manufacturing, and make meritorious contributions to the craftsman who will never be stingy with rewards."
Li Erhao was angry and expressed his importance to the musket, Li Yong's heart had long been happy, and now the firearms supervisor purchased all the steel from his Xishan workshop, so if it continues, his military industry can be completed, and it is not too cool to use the money of the imperial court to support his troops, Li Jing, who has retired, muttered.
"Saint, the musket is breathtaking in terms of power and range, but the specific effect of its use on the battlefield and how to use it still need to be verified, and it cannot be easily redressed for the army."
Even though Li Jing has retired, what he said is Lao Cheng's serious words, Li Yong has no opinion, and said with a smile.
"The minister thinks what Wei Guogong said is reasonable, so let's assemble it for the Shenji Battalion first to see what the effect is."
Everyone couldn't help but nod when they heard this, the appearance of muskets and artillery is undoubtedly a subversion of the existing military formation tactics, how to use it remains to be figured out, if you rashly change the whole army, it may be a disaster if you are not familiar with the use, Li Er did not object this time, he nodded and said.
"Well, what the pharmacist said is very true, first assemble the Shenji Battalion, and then demonstrate it to everyone, and then assemble it on a small scale to the border towns, let them test it, and sum up the experience, large-scale refitting really can't be rushed."
How did the experience come about? Of course, it is out of the question, large-scale costume change is not impossible, as long as there is money, Li Yong can increase the production capacity, but there is no money, then it is another matter, the current Li Er is a poor jingle, for Li Jing and others The rigor, Li Yong still appreciates it very much.
"I don't know if Tubo will move, Xue Yantuo has not been restless recently, but there are many opportunities for experiments."
Li Er said with a smile, the eyes of all the generals lit up, the power of the musket and the range, the hearts of those who watched it were itchy, who didn't want to try this new weapon on the battlefield?
"Saint, the soldier is a murderous thing, the firearms made by Li Yong are indeed sharp, and now the people of Haiyan River live and work in peace and contentment, if the saint uses swords and soldiers because of firearms, and the soldiers are reckless, it is not a fortunate thing for the community, I hope the saint will think twice."
Such a discordant voice Li Yong doesn't have to guess who it is, I have to say, Wei Zheng is really just, the old mountain cannon is the old mountain cannon, if you find the opportunity, you will shoot two cannons, you have to give him a slap in the face when Li Er is so excited and excited, this is really exciting, although Li Yong has repeatedly scolded Li Er, and he also likes to make Li Er's money, but he feels that he is still measured, not like Wei Zheng to death, as for him scolding Li Er, uh, it was just an accident, sure enough, Li Er, who was originally excited and flushed, suddenly froze, The expression was like swallowing a lump of soaring.
"Since he ascended the throne, he has been advocating rest and recuperation, although there are also troops, but it is also for the stability of the border towns, why do you want to use military force?"
Li Er said in a deep voice, when Li Er said this, Li Yong felt that Li Er had indirect amnesia, and you had nothing to do to do Tubo? If it weren't for his own bomb, now that Songzhou was all played by you, Li Yong really didn't know how Wei Zheng would react if he let Wei Zheng know that Li Er planned to conquer Liaodong? Will he drown Li Er with spit? Li Yong said with a smile.
"As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons, whether it is muskets or artillery, it is to enhance military strength, from ancient times to the present, the west has never stopped, even if you don't go to fight people, you have to guard against people to fight us, muskets and artillery can make us less dead in the Tang Dynasty, I think this is a good thing."
Wei Zheng was very faceless, and Zhengse said.
"Of course, the benefits of firearms are a good thing for the people of the Tang Dynasty, but I am afraid that the saints and the generals of the court and the central government will frequently raise swords and soldiers because of the benefits of firearms, ruining this great prosperous world."
Although Wei Zheng said it was willing, Li Er's face was still not good-looking, in the end, this was in the Shenji Camp, and Li Yong, as the host, couldn't watch the atmosphere stiffen.
"The saint is a Ming monarch who can be compared to Yao Shun, and there are also outspoken ministers like Lord Wei in the court, which will only last for a long time."
Li Yong said with a smile, and Fang Xuanling, a good old man, also smiled.
"Yes, yes, Li Yong said well, the saint works hard, we old ministers sleep all night, we just hope that this prosperous era will last."
Li Er's face finally improved, and he said with a smile.
"A certain self-thought is not a tyrant like Emperor Yang of Sui."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere eased again.
"Show the musket to a certain person, at that time a certain person still couldn't look down on it, like a burning stick, I didn't expect it to be a magic weapon."
Li Er's eyes fell on the musket in Li Yong's hand, and was interrupted by Wei Zheng like this, the excitement in Li Er's heart finally calmed down, and his attention was on the musket, not only Li Er, everyone's eyes fell on the musket, they had just seen Li Yong shoot, they thought this thing seemed to be quite interesting, Li Er took the musket and looked at it with a strange face, while sighing, and then threw it to Li Yong and commanded.
"Loaded."
Li Er wanted to try the musket, the corners of Li Yong's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, what did Li Er say just now, he could hit it with his eyes closed?
"Sage, do you want to test the gun? Try it here or go a hundred paces away? ”
Li Yong asked while loading his musket.
"Of course I'm going over there to try, what's there to try here, it's a marksman."
Li Er said angrily, he felt that Li Yong's words were simply doubting his archery skills, but it was a pity that Li Yong was young and had not followed him to the battlefield, I don't know how powerful his archery skills were. Relying on a good archery skill, everyone is carefully observing Li Yong to load gunpowder, Li Er observed particularly carefully, because he has already had the idea of taking this musket as his own, loading the gunpowder, Li Er strode back, everyone followed with great interest, ready to see the emperor show his skills, they all know that the emperor's archery skills are unparalleled in the world, and it is indeed a rare opponent in the world, Li Yong followed behind with his hands behind his back, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Er stood still where Li Yong had just shot, and then raised his gun to aim, bang~ A gunshot rang out, the smoke was filled, and there was silence, the words of Cheng Biting Jin and others had already been brewing, and they had already reached their mouths, and they almost blurted out when they heard the gunshot, but they hurriedly swallowed the fart that came to their mouths, because the emperor's shot didn't hit, how could the emperor not hit? Cheng Yanjin and the others were all stunned, why didn't they think that the emperor would not shoot before? After all, even Li Yong can shoot, but the emperor is a sharpshooter who pierces Yang in a hundred steps, everyone is quiet and sluggish, Li Yong smiled slightly and stroked his palm.
"The saint is good at archery!"
What happened to Marksman? I'm afraid you don't know what recoil is, and the first time you shoot, you want to hit, and you think it's beautiful.
"I missed."
Li Er turned around and glared at Li Yong angrily, obviously he didn't hit, but this kid still smiled and praised his good archery skills, how could he think there was a sarcasm in his words.
"Why don't you close your eyes and try?"
Li Yong smiled and groaned, Li Er looked at Li Yong's eyes and was speechless, and Li Yong's innocent eyes were what you said, and you could hit with your eyes closed. Cheng Biting Jin They wanted to laugh very much, but they tried hard to endure it, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military estimates that Li Yong dared to talk to the emperor like this, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were especially speechless, Li Yong, are you really not afraid of being beaten to death? However, it is estimated that Li Erdu has become accustomed to Li Yong's sudden skin.
"Keep loading, one more shot, and you're sure to hit."
Li Er snorted, full of confidence, bragging and not bringing a draft, Li Yong loaded the gunpowder cleanly, and then handed it to Li Er with a smile, I will watch your performance quietly, do you think the musket is easy? The musketeers are fed by bullets, and Li aims at the second end of the gun, and then shoots decisively, bang~
"Hit~"
"Hit~"
"Sage Divine Shot~"
The sound of sycophants was like a tide, only Li Yong was stunned, did he really hit?
"The saint's luck is really good!"
Li Yong praised lightly.
"Luck? It's not luck, when the first shot is fired, a certain person has already noticed that when the musket is fired, there is a backward force, which makes the barrel pick up, so you must pay attention to control it when shooting, this thing is very simple, nothing difficult. ”
Li Er smiled pointedly.
"The saint is worthy of great talent, and he has comprehended the skill of the musket so quickly."
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly slapped the dragon's fart and praised it, what kind of talent? Li Yong always felt that Li Er was a blind cat and a dead mouse, so Li Yong reloaded it cleanly and tried his best to encourage him.
"Saint, try another shot!"
Li Er took the gun with a smile and raised the gun again to aim, bang~
"Hit~"
"Hit~"
"Good~"
Another dragon fart sound, Li Yong was speechless, and he really shot again.
"Here, reload!"
Li Er handed the gun to Li Yong, fired several shots in a row, and all of them were hit, now Li Yong had to believe it, Li Er really understood the essence of shooting.
"Fired these shots, a certain is roughly understood, Li Yong is right, this musket is really not accurate, it is difficult to shoot a certain point accurately like a bow and arrow, but it can be controlled within a certain range of the same, moreover, the musket is much simpler than the bow and arrow, for the marksman, the musket is not as good as the bow and arrow, but for ordinary soldiers, the musket is far better than the bow and arrow, and the salvo in the army is enough! Coupled with a range of more than 100 steps, it is also extremely powerful, a divine weapon! ”
Li Er concluded, and Xu Shiji also smiled.
"The only problem now is that it takes time to reload, and then it depends on how effective Li Yong's three-stage attack is."
Li Yong smiled confidently.
"Give me a month, I'll practice a team first, so that everyone can see and understand."
"Okay, a month later, come to the Shenji Camp again to see how the effect is, Keming, Xuan Ling, after going back, send craftsmen to the firearms supervisor as soon as possible, Li Yong, the manufacture of artillery and firearms must not be relaxed, and the bayonet must also be developed quickly."
Li Er frequently instructed that after personally trying the musket, Li Er had been completely conquered by the musket, not to mention Li Yong's three-stage attack tactics, even if he didn't, Li Er would make a musket, and the musket did have an incomparable advantage with a bow and arrow.
"Let's drive back to the palace."
Li Erli was still holding the musket very preciously, and he didn't mean to return it to Li Yong, however, not only Li Er's precious musket, Cheng Biting Jin and others also looked at the musket, but they saw that the emperor was always holding the musket, and they were embarrassed to speak, in fact, the most covetous musket was Li Chongyi and them, they were planning to wait for the emperor to leave, and also try the musket, but the emperor didn't let go of the musket, seeing Li Er's very precious appearance, Li Yong was very disdainful, isn't it just a musket, And it's a backward flintlock pistol, these dirt buns have never seen a real gun at all, although Li Yong already has a rear-loading rifle, but this does not prevent Li Yong from disliking the flintlock pistol, it is too simple, too rough, too troublesome to load, the sound of the gun is too ugly, and there is a thick smoke, and it is so long, it is not easy to carry at all, Li Yong suddenly thought of a little, it is better to let the firearms superintendent make a short gun? Like the West Hill Battalion?
