Chapter 441: How to Carry More Ammo
So, when Ying Changsheng's words came out.
Naturally, they are a little reluctant to believe it.
I only saw Xiao He, and asked Ying Changsheng.
"Nineteen princes, could it be that this Rome, or the countries you pass through along the way, also know the use of gunpowder, and will also use gunpowder?"
"Well...... this"
After hearing this, Ying Changsheng smiled, and then explained to them.
"Of course it's impossible!"
Oh, yes.
Gunpowder.
In the present era.
But only Daqin has it.
Historically, it will take nearly a thousand years for this thing to successfully appear in the world.
In such a situation.
Winning Changsheng is natural, and it can be determined that gunpowder is the unique skill of the Great Qin Empire.
After hearing Ying Changsheng's answer, Xiao He and the others were stunned.
They couldn't help but look at Ying Changsheng suspiciously, puzzled.
After all, in other countries, in other places, since there is no gunpowder.
So, why isn't Ying Changsheng worried about this problem?
At this time, Ying Changsheng on the side finally explained.
I only heard him laugh and explain to the people in front of him.
"You guys, you're really confused, I don't know one thing, gunpowder is indeed my Daqin's exclusive stunt, in the whole world, only I Daqin, can use gunpowder, can make gunpowder, but, this thing is only my Daqin, but it doesn't mean that the raw materials of this thing are only available to me Daqin!"
"This ......"
For a while, when Ying Changsheng's words came out, the moment he said it.
The faces of everyone present couldn't help but change slightly.
Immediately, he reacted.
Oh, yes.
The raw materials of gunpowder are also found in other places.
In such a situation.
As long as you try to collect enough gunpowder raw materials along the way.
Then, the army of their expedition will no longer be short of gunpowder.
Because, in these years, the ammunition and shells fired out were directly solid shells made of stone, or cast iron, and as for the bullets fired by muskets, the production was even simpler, nothing more than a small round bullet made of lead.
How easy it is to make.
It can be done by everyone.
Thinking of this, Xiao He couldn't help but arch his hand towards Ying Changsheng in front of him, and then opened his mouth to say.
"The nineteenth prince is wise, the minister was not able to detect the wisdom of the nineteenth son, and please ask the nineteenth son!"
"Where, where!"
Ying Changsheng smiled, and after that, he proposed to Xiao He again.
"The raw materials for making the shell, and the raw materials for making that bullet, in fact, there is no shortage along the way!"
"So, we don't have to carry too many, bulky solid shells, and we don't need to carry too many lead bullets!"
"Am I right?"
"If you need it, you can make it ready-made, find some raw materials, and make it yourself, isn't it!"
"Nineteen sons are wise!"
Xiao He nodded in agreement.
In this way, a lot of unnecessary power can be compressed.
In this way, you can transport more and other supplies.
Thinking of this, Xiao He couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, and opened his mouth to Ying Changsheng in front of him.
"Yes, yes, this method of the Nineteenth Prince is enough for my Great Qin's army, bring a lot of supplies, and gunpowder!"
"In terms of gunpowder, it can also be improved!"
After hearing Xiao He's compliment, Ying Changsheng was not ambiguous, and he continued to open his mouth and say.
"What can be done?"
For a while, Xiao He couldn't help but show a puzzled expression, he looked at Ying Changsheng in front of him, and asked curiously.
And Win Changsheng is not ambiguous, he explained directly.
"It's easy!"
"That is, we can, not carry so much gunpowder, but only carry a part of the gunpowder raw materials......"
"Oh?"
Hear here.
Xiao He couldn't help but be stunned, and Win Changsheng had to explain.
"What's in the raw materials of gunpowder?"
"There are three kinds of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal powder, these three raw materials, mixed together, are gunpowder, and if you carry the finished gunpowder, then it is bound to greatly increase the transportation capacity!"
"However, if you carry only a part of the finished gunpowder, the rest of the gunpowder will be composed entirely of sulfur and saltpeter."
"And don't carry, the most common and easily available charcoal powder!"
"Wouldn't it be a good thing that you could carry a third more gunpowder with the same power?"
For a while, when Ying Changsheng's words were finished, he finished at that moment.
Xiao He and Chen Ping on the side couldn't help but be won by the imagination of Changsheng.
couldn't help but be shocked by Ying Changsheng's suggestion, and the two of them couldn't help but bow their hands to Ying Changsheng, and then opened their mouths to compliment.
"The nineteenth son is wise!"
"With this method, the amount of ammunition carried by the army is bound to increase greatly!"
"Hahahaha, what's this?"
Win Changsheng smiled.
Then, he instructed Xiao He on the side to go down and prepare.
Preparation.
It's actually quite simple.
The current Great Qin Empire.
As Brother Zheng said, all resources can be personally mobilized by Win Changsheng, in such a situation, as long as Win Changsheng wants to.
Well, he almost, there is nothing that he can't do.
The first thing to do is to select the soldiers.
Fifty thousand single, non-only soldiers, in the current Great Qin Empire.
Yes, it is not uncommon.
The reason is simple.
At this time, there is no policy to restrict births, and at present, every family will not have only one son, so it is quite easy to choose non-only children.
As for those soldiers, don't they have a family?
Saying.
In the current Great Qin army, it seems that not many soldiers who serve will get married.
In such a situation.
These requirements put forward by Ying Changsheng are not a problem at all.
So, in just a few days, the soldiers were successfully selected.
In addition, in order to transport supplies for the soldiers, Ying Changsheng also had to equip at least 50,000 camels.
That's a big problem.
After all, camels are not horses and are not easy to handle.
However, since Win Changsheng has commanded.
The subordinates had no choice but to work hard.
And there is a reason why Ying Changsheng chose to give every soldier a camel instead of a war horse.
Here's why.
The speed of the camel, though slower than that of the warhorse.
However, the camel is a creature that is extremely drought-tolerant, and this is exactly what he needs to go on an expedition to the West, to the Roman Victory Immortal.
Because there are too many deserts in the places he passes along the way.
In such a situation, drought-tolerant camels are undoubtedly the most suitable creatures, because camels will not compete with soldiers for a small amount of water.
In addition, if there is a shortage of water, you can kill some of the camels and remove the water stored in their bellies.
