Chapter 476: The Strongest Weapon(1/2)
Hong Chengchou's voice was like a bell, and his righteous attitude was awe-inspiring.
In fact, this is understandable. After all, some people are born with the halo of the protagonist.
There were Jinshis of the Ming Dynasty, and one of them counted as one, especially those who ranked among the top in the exams, which was the case.
Everyone felt relieved when they heard what Hong Chengchou said.
At least……
After all, the public opinion propaganda over the past six months has long been praised by Shenji Camp.
Especially Hong Chengchou's deeds of strangling bandits in Guanzhong, how to plan and win a thousand miles, how many heads the bandits were terrified, and how many heads they cut off. This time, the military horses he trained were naturally far above the official army that had suppressed bandits.
What's more, now that the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, there are such military and horses, and the strategies of Hong Chengchou are naturally not to be underestimated.
A Confucian general like Hong Chengchou, he presided over the martial arts lecture hall, cultivated talents to study, and integrated the Four Books and Five Classics with the art of military arts, which would make people shine.
After Hong Chengchou said that.
Emperor Tianqi said, "Why not order the Donglin Army to attack?"
Obviously, Emperor Aoki was still worried.
As soon as this statement was made, the ministers were upset and some people said: "The Donglin Army is good, but this battle is of great importance and needs to be solid and reliable."
The person who spoke was a censor. Halfway through this, he felt that he was speechless.
But in fact, nearly half of the ministers in the court thought so.
The soldiers led by military officers are unreliable.
What should I do if Jiannu is surrendered?
Now that the capital is in danger, talents like Hong Chengchou are the most reliable, and he will never worry that he will surrender to the Jiannu people.
On the other hand, Zhang Jingyi, even if Zhang Jing is always loyal, will the Qiu Ba people under him be reliable?
Emperor Tianqi glanced at Zhang Jingyi.
Zhang Jingyiyin showed signs of furiousness.
However, Emperor Tianqi thought again and thought that it would be safe to keep Zhang Jingyi by his side, but this guy is too reckless. This time he is a big enemy. Why not let Hong Chengchou try the truth of the Jiannu people first?
Emperor Tianqi sneered and looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Hong Qing family, if you go to war and encounter Jiannu, how should you deal with it?"
Hong Chengchou vaguely felt that there were signs of opposition in the court, and many knowledgeable people were obviously still on his side.
But His Majesty obviously despises him quite a bit.
However, all the scholars in the cabinet did not say a word, and at this time, they did not stand up and say something to him, which made him feel cold.
I have long heard that even Sun Chengzong of the cabinet was close to Zhang Jing.
So Hong Chengchou responded: "Jiannu is good at riding and shooting. If he encounters Jiannu, he should use artillery to bombard him and disrupt his position. After that, infantry and soldiers are stacked in layers and the train formation is rejected."
Emperor Aoki raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just that?"
Hong Chengchou said: "The Shenji Camp has been transformed, and it is enough to deal with Jiannu. Your Majesty, the so-called superior troops attack the plan, secondly attack the diplomatic forces, secondly attack the troops, and the lower ones attack the city. The Jiannu people rushed thousands of miles to attack the enemy, and this house was the best strategy to attack the enemy and attack the city. At this time, they were like the end of a powerful crossbow, and the so-called powerful crossbow cannot penetrate the silk cloth in Lu. As long as our army is ready to fight the vanguard, the Jiannu will naturally defeat it without attacking it."
Emperor Tianqi heard what he said mysteriously, but he was full of confidence and could not tell the difference between good and bad for a while.
However, many of the officials were excited.
They understand this.
Emperor Tianqi finally said, "Since that's the case, then the martial arts hall will fight with Shenji Camp. Hong Qing, I personally send you out of the city."
Hong Chengchou seemed to have seen a brilliant future, right in front of him.
So he was excited and said happily: "I have received the kindness of the country and my Majesty's reliance on it. I should do my best to serve him to die."
After saying that, his eyes turned red, with a bit of a heroic spirit left.
When all the officials heard this, they were very sorry and were moved by it.
After the court, as soon as Hong Chengchou went to the Qinzheng Hall, many ministers immediately surrounded him and said goodbye to him.
Hong Chengchou bowed to each other and said to each other, and someone said, "Hong Gong should be careful when he goes here."
Hong Chengchou said: "I already have the method to retreat to the thief, so don't worry. The backbone of the martial arts hall and Shenji camp are mostly scholars and all under the saints. If I rely on them, I will succeed."
Everyone was moved.
However, Zhang Jingyi didn't even look at these people at once and left on his own.
After returning to Xinxian, Zhang Jing went to Donglin Military Academy.
At this moment, even if the Donglin student is defending the capital, Zhang Jingyi needs to be fully prepared.
After patrolling the military academy, I went to the research institute.
Zhang Jingyi asked about the progress of the institute: "How are some of the previous firearms now?"
"That machine gun was tinkered with, it was unstable."
The speaker is the craftsman in charge of these projects, named Liu Ye.
Liu Ye has been a craftsman for generations and is good at ironworking and carpenters. Since he recruited himself into the workshops under the Donglin Military Academy, he soon stood out from many craftsmen.
He is very smart. Once he starts to have a stage, he immediately shows his talent.
At this moment, Zhang Jingyi was a little surprised and then said, "Come and take it to see."
Liu Ye led Zhang Jingyi to a schoolyard.
This school is actually the experimental site of the institute.
Soon, three or four people came with a huge thing.
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but look at her with wide eyes.
Good guy, this is not a gun, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a cannon.
After the yellow gunpowder came out, the thunder mercury was also extracted.
In fact, as long as you find the general method, it is nothing more than continuous experimentation. After continuous experimentation, you can get what you want.
With these, it means that the yellow gunpowder's rear-loading guns, or even continuous weapons, have begun to become a reality.
Zhang Jing couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she saw such a big iron lump.
So I immediately ordered someone to try it out.
Liu Ye gave an order and saw several craftsmen busy.
They used a cable tie fixed with a cloth strip, and then began to pull the bolt, and then the huge iron lump spewed out the flames.
Dada dada dada dada dada...
The barrel, which was thicker than the arm, shook violently, and the rack on the lower head was shaking wildly on the ground, raising a lot of dust.
The person with the back seat of the gun was fixed on the back of the back of the gun was numb. The strong recoil force made his hands seem uncontrollable in a short while.
but……
Liu Ye smiled bitterly and said, "This thing has almost no precision, and is easy to get stuck. It is also very expensive. It is not that the thing itself is expensive, but that the required marbles require high requirements, which require hand-knocks from craftsmen. If this marble is not qualified, it will need to be reworked. One marble is close to three cents of silver..."
Liu Ye complained.
Actually, this is understandable.
Other muskets, bullets are just steel balls, and the price is cheap.
Because this thing is made of yellow gunpowder as the firing medicine, the gunpowder must be placed in the marble, which requires a very high craftsmanship and is also amazing.
Zhang Jingyi asked: "How many qualified bullets can a craftsman make in a day?"
"The most skilled craftsman is probably only sixty or seventy."
"How many craftsmen are there?"
“Fifty or sixty.”
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help frowning, very dissatisfied, so he said, "Allocate all the craftsmen who can be used, and now start, make as much as they can. Tell them to make a qualified one. I will give you a reward of thirty copper coins. This is an additional reward, which does not conflict with their own salary. As long as the things are qualified, I will make as much as I can, and this machine gun..."
Zhang Jing looked at him horizontally and vertically, and it didn't look like a gun, it was a cannon.
But there is no way, continuous firing is required, and the steel of the barrel is very strict. Since the barrel strength problem cannot be solved at present, it can only be thickened and thickened.
Zhang Jingyi said: "There are so many of this, and how much is it for me to make. Let me tell you... I am not short of money, no, Your Majesty does not short of money. Everyone should be energetic and recruit some craftsmen for me. The original apprentices, as long as you do well, you can immediately treat the craftsmen. As long as the original craftsmen do well, all the professional titles will be added to me one level. Don't be afraid of the money needed. This money... not only needs to be given, but also gives more."
Liu Ye was surprised when he heard this.
So willing to bear it?
I remember that Zhang Jingyi was still a little stingy when he gave the status of a craftsman in the past.
After all, every craftsman has a constitution, which is responsible for your birth, old age, sickness and death.
Not only that, the monthly salary is also sufficient.
With such inspiration, the craftsmen have indeed begun to work with peace of mind, because decent, at least among ordinary people, it is a very honor to be a craftsman.
But because of the generous treatment, both Fengqiu and here, apprentices account for the majority.
