Chapter 336: Pacifying Liaodong (II) "Multi-Eyed Lianzhu Gun"
Last time, I talked about Zhu Youxiao and his junior sister and the "Four Protectors" who went to the battlefield in Liaodong, and after meeting Yuan Chonghuan, the commander of the Ming army, he remembered to show his identity and intention.
"The prince wants to help the 'Ministry of the Academy' to win? This ......" Yuan Chonghuan was very puzzled after hearing this, but driven by curiosity, he couldn't help but step down from his seat and came to everyone, and after looking at everyone, he bowed down and said, "I don't know what you call it?" How about asking the prince to introduce on his behalf? ”
"Haha, that's easy to say." Zhu Youxiao said loudly: "Barbarian, you can listen well, these three 'fairies' are the 'daughters' of the national teacher. The four here are the 'Four Protectors' of my 'Luban Gate', hehe. As soon as the words fell, he looked at the strange expression on Yuan Chonghuan's face with great enjoyment, after all, mortals don't understand the cultivation realm.
'Oh?' Master Guo'? 'Miss Daughter'? 'Luban Gate'? The 'Four Protectors'? This...... What's going on here? How did Xia Guan feel that he was in a fog when he heard it? Although Yuan Chonghuan had also heard that the imperial court had canonized a folk "wood craftsman" as a "national teacher", the sudden filling of the treasury must have something to do with it, right?
"Barbarian, don't you ask so much why? Hurry up and meet the three 'junior sisters' and 'four seniors' of the widow! Zhu Youxiao's face suddenly turned pale.
"Uh...... This hospital, oh no, Yuan Chonghuan has seen you, I don't know what to call it? Yuan Chonghuan felt very awkward, after all, he was the "commander-in-chief" of the Ming Army in Liaodong, and even Mao Wenlong, the "Chief Soldier of Liaodong" whose status was equivalent to the "Shangshu of the Ministry of War", dared to kill, but he was nervous in the face of these "mysterious people".
"Giggles, just call our sisters 'little fairies'." The three sisters of the urging family are not only lively and cute, but also naughty and mischievous, deliberately shifted their eyes to the "butterfly essence", pointed at her and signaled: "She was originally a spirit, and after being subdued by my father and mother, she became a 'protector', just call her 'fairy girl', giggle." ”
"Uh...... Hehe. The three 'little fairies' and this 'great protector', Yuan is polite. Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this, and felt that the sisters in front of him were really funny, so he turned around and bowed to "Dan Qingbai", "Fu Fa Ling", "Old Immortal" and so on: "I don't know what the three of them are called?" ”
"Haha/quack/hehe, the poor road comes from the 'Nine Turns Immortal Pill Hall'/'Xuanfu Miao Qi Pavilion'/'One Qi Transformation Palace', you can call me 'Immortal Master', hehe."
"Oh? It turned out to be 'Immortal Master'? Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! Yuan Chonghuan suddenly said with surprise on his face: "No wonder you can appear here out of thin air, it turns out ......"
"Giggles, you know how good we are, right?" The three sisters of the Urging Family said with a smile: "Because of the 'difference between immortals and mortals', originally our 'cultivators' could not be involved in the battle of the mortal world, but there were many casualties in the border passes, and those corpses and souls had to be dealt with, right?" So, here we are! ”
"Huh? Dispose of corpses? Hasn't the battlefield been cleaned by the victorious soldiers since ancient times? How can you let the 'immortal masters' do it for you? Wouldn't that stain the hands of the 'immortal master'? Yuan Chonghuan was surprised: "Besides, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, what if it hurts the 'immortal masters'?" This is absolutely unacceptable! ”
"Eh, I said, Nanban, you just don't have a bright head." When Zhu Youxiao saw this, he not only laughed and scolded: "Although my brother didn't mention this matter in the edict, but with the relationship between the widow and the emperor, is this bit of face also denied?" You don't want to mix it up? I'll get rid of you, hehe. ”
"Don't don't, don't, the prince laughed." Yuan Chonghuan was shocked in his heart and avoided embarrassment and said: "Since the prince has said so, it is better to obey the order than to be respectful!" ”
"Haha, that's right." As soon as Zhu Youxiao's voice fell, as soon as the palm of his hand was turned over, there was a strange-shaped "firearm" out of thin air, about three feet long, thicker than the thigh, with a total of 24 steel pipes tied up inside and outside, and a roller made of rough wood with a bearing in the middle, and a pair of two-foot feet at the front end.
"Huh? This is...... How does it look so weird? Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but be curious: "It looks like some of them are like 'fire guns' but they have too many tubes, and some of them are like 'Furlong Machine' but they are too small, but they feel that they are easy to carry." On the surface, it may seem like a 'multi-barreled firebolt', but I don't know how powerful it is. ”
"Haha, this 'multi-eyed beaded gun' is a new type of 'firearm' that has been deduced and verified by this king according to the advantages of the 'three-eyed gun', 'bowl mouth gun', 'hundred-bead gun' and 'hand gun' commonly used in the Shenji Battalion, and the use of carpentry technology to deduce and verify the new 'firearm', which is suitable for infantry to increase firepower, and can also try to shoot cavalry horses."
'Oh?' Multi-eyed and beady'? Interesting. Don't know how? Yuan Chonghuan knew that the imperial court was training a new army, and he also heard that the new firearms were powerful, so he was full of curiosity about it, after all, the border army of the Ming Dynasty rarely dared to meet the cavalry with infantry due to the shortage of war horses, unless there were a large number of "firearms" in hand.
On the surface, it appears to be a "multi-barreled smoothbore gun" bundled together, but in fact it is a back-loading "flat-firing gun" with a "revolver magazine", and the "sub-gun" on the inner and outer "magazines" is as big as a thumb, and the warhead is a steel ball, and the system is standardized.
After Yuan Chonghuan read Zhu Youxiao's detailed introduction to himself, he was immediately stunned, because after the "Zi Gong" is used, the bullet case can also be recovered and refilled with gunpowder for sealed use, and it can be activated according to the rear engine mode of the "rifled gun", which can be fired quickly and repeatedly, which is far more lethal than the "Three-Eyed Gun"!
In fact, in addition to some traditional "firearms" accessories, various projectiles and black powder, the imperial court also sent hundreds of these newly made "multi-eyed beaded guns" by the way, and even a lot of matching "sub-guns" were also sent, mainly for training.
"Alright, I'll give you the stuff, it's in this batch of provisions. You'll have to hurry up and train your soldiers, and if you're satisfied, they'll send you a steady stream of them, and you can even give them to each of you. Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "But the key is to kill and injure a large number of enemies and sweep away Liaodong!" ”
"One hand? Isn't that ...... More powerful than the 'Divine Machine Battalion'? Yuan Chonghuan was greatly surprised when he heard this, after all, the "Fire Gun" is the patent of the "Shenji Battalion", how can it be equipped by other troops? As everyone knows, the imperial court not only intends to upgrade the various armies, but also uses the "Liaodong Army" as a template.
Although there were many controversies in this, the imperial court's strategy was to distribute only "smoothbore guns" and "smoothbore guns" to the "new army" with the "Shenji Battalion" as the main body, and as for the "mortars", "multi-eyed and beaded guns", and long-pole "smoothbore guns" and "smoothbore guns", they were supplied in large quantities to the border armies, cantonment regiments, and naval fleets in various places.
In this way, the "firearms" and their supporting "ammunition" produced in the military industrial system of the Ming Dynasty in this time and space have "two sets of standards", namely "smoothbore" and "rifled". The former has a lower production cost and a longer service life, but a shorter range and less accuracy, while the latter does the opposite.
However, during this period, the use of "smoothbore firearms" was still widespread throughout the world, after all, "rifled firearms" were not only immature in manufacturing technology, but also too expensive to manufacture and use, although the range was longer, the accuracy was higher and the power was greater, but it was difficult to popularize it vigorously for various reasons.
Of course, the "sub-guns" like the "smoothbore gun" and the "smoothbore gun" are suitable for making "ball-shaped", because the surface area of the ball is the largest in the same volume of objects, which is conducive to the "sub-gun" to gain more force area under the same high temperature and high pressure in the "gun chamber" and "gun chamber", so as to have a greater initial velocity than other shapes.
At the same time, after the successful ignition and launch of the "sub-gun", because the surface area of the ball is the smallest among objects of the same volume, the drag of the spherical "bullet" or "cannonball" when flying at high speed is less than that of other shapes. However, this is only suitable for the "smoothbore", not for the "rifled".
In this way, time passed quickly, and in a few days it was the Chinese New Year's Eve. For the people in the mainland who like to watch the excitement, it is normal to post tandem, release whips, visit relatives and friends, eat, drink, sing, and watch a big show, but for the soldiers of the border army, the most is to kill pigs and sheep, and they are full of joy.
Because the news that the Ming Dynasty was going to attack the "Houjin" after the beginning of spring had already spread in all directions, the "Jianzhou Jurchen" departments were now in a mess, and the key was that after the death of Huang Taiji, there were no people with deep strategies to come out to clean up the mess, and the uncles and brothers, big and small Baylor did not buy the account of "Xiao Shunzhi".
At the beginning, when Huang Taiji first ascended the throne, he was not only restricted by the "Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers", but also had the constraints of the "Four Great Baylors", although he cleared these obstacles through various means and finally successfully proclaimed the emperor, and changed the name of the country from "Houjin" to "Daqing", but invisibly set up many enemies.
Although some people in later generations believed that the Qing Dynasty was the best dynasty for the founding fathers in history except for the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, because the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, "Huang Taiji", not only did not suppress these founding fathers, but reused them. The reasons for this are clear, and it is just a matter of weighing the pros and cons.
Because the Qing ruling class had too few people and even fewer capable people, if they all purged the founding monarchs of the Han feudal dynasty to prevent future troubles, then who could govern the world? Confucius said, "The descendants do not seek summer, and they do not mess with China." Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. This shows that from ancient times to the present, the ruling class of the Central Plains Dynasty did not want to have too much interaction with the surrounding ethnic regimes, not to mention that the "Manchu Qing" should not unite their own people to consolidate their rule?
