Chapter 143: Destroying Linyi Kingdom (1)
After looking at the bullet holes that the flintlock rifle was punched on the wall, Li Yuan still felt a little dissatisfied, but the war was imminent, and muskets were essential to deal with the elephant soldiers of Linyi Kingdom, and they would definitely be unexpected.
"How many flintlock rifles can be produced in a day by military weapon surveillance?" Li Yuan asked.
Li Laosi didn't understand why, and estimated: "Weichen was skilled in craftsmanship, but the time it took to make the barrel was too long. If he couldn't sleep, it would take a day and a half."
"So long?" Li Yuan felt a little dissatisfied. It took at least three hundred flintlocks to form a musket team. According to Li Laosi's approach, it would take at least half a year to make it.
Of course, it is not just Li Laosi, but other craftsmen, but the time spent is also amazing.
"In addition to you, Li Gongzheng, there are several other military weapons supervisors who can make flintlock rifles. I need 300 flintlock rifles. How long will it take to complete it?" Li Yuan asked.
Li Laosi frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, in addition to Weichen, there are three apprentices who are skilled in military weapons and firelock rifles. Three hundred flintlock rifles will take at least two months to manufacture."
After thinking about it, Li Laosi added another sentence, "Your Majesty asked Wei to develop a flintlock rifle that day and listed it as a secret, so... not many people from the military weapon supervisor learned it, and my three apprentices only knew some of the superficial things."
"So that's how it is." Li Yuan patted his forehead and felt a big mistake. In order to prevent the flintlock rifle from leaking, he only asked a few people to develop it. He never thought it would be restricted now.
"In this way, I have drawn 50 students from the medical school and then used assembly line production. It is not necessary to treat each flintlock as a fine product, it only needs to meet the standards."
"I understand." Li Laosi smiled. The assembly line production model had long been popularized in military weapon supervision. The Emperor learned from the mouth of the Emperor that this production model was used as early as when the Qin army produced weapons. He was surprised at the time why he had been through thousands of years, but this craft was lost.
"How many flintlock rifles are there in the Military Weapons Prison now? Draw them out for me." Li Yuan said.
Now Zhenla and Linyi are preparing for war. It is estimated that the war will last for a long time, and he wants to train a musket team before the war.
Let this musket team make contributions in the war, thereby increasing his prestige in the army.
In fact, although Li Yuan was able to send 120,000 troops to attack the two countries, the power in the army was not his one-man rule. He was often hindered in the army. Among them, the Chu King Li Xiaogong, who represented the largest mountain, and the power faction in the south, were more or less interspersed in the army.
Many people think that the emperor is everything and do whatever he wants.
Actually, it is not the case.
There is nothing to say about the attack on Zhenla, Linyi and the two countries, and the army is willing to go there. After all, only war is the shortcut to promotion and wealth.
But it is hard to get them to agree to spend a lot of money to conquer Japan, and it is difficult to get them to agree.
Zhenla and Linyi can still be seen, but the people in Japan and the Central Plains have seen their appearance, but no one has been to Japan.
Moreover, humans have been afraid of the sea since ancient times, and the ships they built rarely do not sink in the ocean. The shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty was still very backward.
Therefore, the Supreme Emperor is gradually working hard to make Nan Tang his one-man show.
Facts have proved that an iron-fisted dictatorship will always develop faster than the republican rule, because it can accurately and accurately tilt resources to a certain aspect.
The Soviets in the twentieth century overthrew Tsarist Russia. At that time, Tsarist Russia was still a slave country, and its industrial development was very backward compared with other European countries. However, after Lenin formulated the first five-year plan, he quickly surpassed other European countries and his industry was comparable to Germany in Europe.
As the Soviet leader, Lenin and Stalin were both dictators, and Stalin, the latter even turned the Soviet Union into a monster. The heavy industry was extremely large, and of course the light industry also declined accordingly.
"There are twelve flintlock rifles in the Military Weapons, but the one that His Majesty takes is the best and most advanced." Li Laosi said hesitantly.
"It's okay." Li Yuan raised his eyebrows. If the flintlock rifle is not enough, just use a fire stick to replace it first. When you go to the battlefield, you will still crush the slag.
After taking twelve flintlock rifles from Li Laosi, Li Yuan went to see the development process of the grenades.
In fact, when the grenade was fighting with the White Lotus Sect, Li Yuan secretly sent someone to load gunpowder with pottery cans to create simple bombs.
But afterwards, the research and development of grenades was put on hold.
Unlike other modern weapons, grenades are easy to make and have amazing effects.
The production of wooden handle grenades in military equipment is a wooden handle.
Wood-handled grenades are the most common in TV series of the Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese used duck egg grenades, while the Chinese army used wooden grenades, which caused many people to think that this kind of grenade was behind and was made by domestically produced.
In fact, the wooden grenade is a German weapon and is a production line established by the Kuomintang army to introduce German teachers from Germany.
Moreover, this grenade is still not outdated and is still used in modern military forces. Wood-handled grenades are safer. When used, when porcelain balls fall out of the wooden handle, they will not pull out the copper wire to cause fire. Usually, the grenade can be hung on a tree or other places with a pull wire to be used as a hanging lightning. In addition to being used as an anti-destructive grenade, several grenade bodies can be tied together on the battlefield, and fired with a pulling fire to be used as an anti-tank lightning.
During World War II, some soldiers tied six grenade bodies together to blow up tanks at most, mainly relying on the detonation waves generated by explosives to explode the tanks.
After being thrown out, the duck egg grenade may roll down and hurt oneself when it encounters a slope. Our country is a mountainous country, and this problem does not exist with wooden handle grenades. Wood handle grenades are more conducive to throwing. With the same force, the wooden handle grenades can be thrown to a longer distance. This has a great advantage for duck egg grenades. The wooden handle grenade costs low.
The most important thing is that the wooden handle grenade is cheap!
Able to be equipped on a large scale.
Later, my country produced and developed the 67-type wooden grenade itself, and it is still in use today.
The Indochina Peninsula is hilly and has many bushes. Of course, the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Myanmar to fight, but many people died of illness on the way, not to mention that most of them were Guizhou people. The harsh climate and environment have always been the reason why the Central Plains dynasty could not occupy the Indochina Peninsula.
"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is left. It depends on Zhenla and Linyi, which of the two countries will start to be in chaos first." Li Yuan smiled in the camp.
