Chapter Eighteen I'll Be Back
Liu Qi is also full of expectations for this weapon.
It is actually not rare to use pestle sticks. Even the powerful generals in the army are often used. For example, Wang Bing's grandfather Wang Gui is known for his good use of pestle sticks, but it is still a bit exaggerated to make pestle sticks like this.
Then he found a few copper smiths. These people had seen the model and listened to Wang Yue's explanation, and they were sure that they could make it. After all, they were just castings. There weren't any strange-shaped bronze ware in the Song Dynasty, and just a few copper tubes. It was just a matter of whether it was enough to pay.
But there are some problems.
A middle handle is difficult to bear weight with wood, so this must be changed to iron. The copper tube in the middle is cut off half a meter, and a solid wrought iron with one and a half long handle at the back. The front end is connected to the copper tube wire, and the interface is welded to the end. Then five one-meter long tubes are surrounded by surroundings. These tubes are made of refined bronze, and the inner diameter does not need to be too large. It is about fifteen millimeters, and the wall thickness is as thick as possible.
This thing is mainly used not as a musket, but as a swing to hit people.
Thin is prone to deformation.
Besides, Wang Yue was not very relieved about the casting technology at this time.
So not only should we have thick walls, but we also have to hoop a series of wrought iron on the outside.
But this is very important. Fortunately, the king was born with divine power. Last time he said that the fifty kilogram of iron cone gun was too modest. In fact, in the martial arts exams these days, he had to swing a hundred kilograms of big swords. His fifty kilograms were completely weak. In short, with his current strength, he could even carry a small Franchise machine, just like a certain magical drama, and it was also possible to do a cannon on his shoulder.
So don't care about the weight.
No matter how heavy it is, it can be heavier than a hundred-pound big knife lifted in martial arts?
Then there is the ignition hole reserved between the copper tubes. In order to avoid the trouble of multiple ignitions, only one ignition hole is needed. The remaining several copper tubes are connected to each other. Because the middle is forward, another hole is left in the middle of a long tube. In this way, the flame will ignite the gunpowder when firing. However, it will be very laborious to install the ignition hole in the ignition hole...
This is not worth mentioning.
Wang Yue only fought for a round of battle with this thing, and he never thought about reloading it on the battlefield.
Besides, as long as the holes in the middle are connected, there should be no need for any inducing gunpowder. The black gunpowder will spit fire inside the chamber.
As for gunpowder, it is not worth mentioning. The Song Dynasty did not lack this. Rockets and other things in the army have been used for a long time. Even the trenchers can throw fireballs. However, the ratio is wrong and the salt is too little. Just ask Liu Qi to customize it in the gunpowder workshop according to the new ratio.
The projectile is even less worth mentioning.
Anyway...
In short, Wang Dutou, who was recovering from his injuries, began to make trouble in Liu Qi's family.
"Are you a villain?"
Liu Qi looked at his messy garden with sadness.
Poor flowers that are about to bloom in the New Year are haggard under the burning fire and poisoning of coal smoke, and are even slightly trampled by busy craftsmen.
Wang Yue needs personal guidance.
But as a seriously injured warrior, he could not go out, so he could only let these copper smiths set up the construction site in Liu Qi's garden. As for the head of the capital at this moment, he was lying on a short couch, eating the chopped cantaloupe while pointing at the same time.
"Don't complain. Have you suffered losses with me these days? All officials have been promoted!"
Wang Yue said.
Liu Qi has indeed been promoted for his contribution to the capture of Qin.
but……
"I have to go to Hebei with you after I'm promoted!"
Liu Qi increased his voice and said.
"Well, your chance to make contributions to the country has come."
Wang Yue said.
Liu Qi was indeed promoted, and he was promoted two levels in a row, from the eighth-rank Hemen to the seventh-rank Wu Yilang. In fact, this is also the daily operation of the second generation like him. He was gilded for a period of time in Danei to find a reasonable reason to be promoted. The Liu family also has a backer behind him, but his backer is not Tong Guan. Although his relationship with Tong Guan is okay, in fact, the real backer of the Liu family in the court is Gao Qiu, but Gao Qiu is different from the role in Water Margin.
He is the commander-in-chief of the palace.
The supreme commander of the Tokyo Imperial Army, the de facto commander of the Tokyo Garrison, was also added to the empty title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi.
But he is not as powerful as Tong Guan. He has no other power except for managing the 800,000 imperial guards in Tokyo. However, Tong Guan is a Privy Councillor. The Taishi is a first-rank Taishi, who is a first-rank Taishi, and is a duty-bearing official in the Privy Council. The Duke of Chu, the Xuanfu Envoy of Hebei, Shaanxi, Hedong, Hebei, was the official title of Tong Guan, but Gao Qiu was only from the first-rank Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and the commander in front of the palace. He neither participated in the dealings of Liangshan nor Fang La.
It's nothing to do with him. He is the most loyal guardian of the great painter.
Only responsible for keeping the house.
He is the person that great painters truly trust the most.
So with him as his backer, Liu Qi could, of course, get promoted immediately after the opportunity.
But the problem is that Gao Qiu also thought that this battle was almost sure to win, so he followed him to Hebei. In this way, no matter whether he made a contribution or not, he would inevitably continue to be promoted. In the end, Liu Qi was promoted to Wu Yilang, and his position was still the same as the Hemen Xuanzan Sheren. Wu Yilang's martial rank official, the Hemen Xuanzan Sheren's position, has officially become an important training target for the Song Dynasty military. As long as he goes to Hebei for a walk, he will immediately release a general who actually holds military power.
For example, military commanders, military commanders, and even military prefectures.
Military officials can also be the military prefecture. Originally, this position was to send officials, and court officials could be, but civil officials generally would not appoint military prefecture to control the court.
The future is bright.
"Zhao family!"
Wang Yue said as he knocked on his couch.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Kuo walked over with a serious look on his face.
"Brother Zichong, are you unhappy if you haven't been promoted?"
Wang Yue said.
Ma Kuo was not promoted, and his father's position was too low and he could not enjoy such treatment as Liu Qi.
Ma Kuo looked at him with a strange expression...
"Brother Wang, you're in trouble."
He said.
"Uh, what trouble can I have? Could it be that the Zhang family continues to grab me?"
Wang Yue said.
There is no need to worry about this. He is currently a celebrity around Tong Guan, and the Zhang family or Kaifeng Prefecture, he will not be so disrespectful to Mr. Tong.
"Fang Qifu has escaped from prison."
Ma Kuo said.
Wang Yue sat up instantly.
"Are you kidding? Kaifeng Mansion eats everything, can it make a prisoner escape from prison? And after only one night, is the prison and shackles made of paper?"
He screamed in shock.
Ma Kuo also spread his hands speechlessly.
“He has an inner support.”
He said.
Wang Yue woke up instantly.
"Insider? Are you talking about believers?"
He said.
Ma Kuang nodded.
It is obvious that the Ming Cult also has its own power in Kaifeng Prefecture.
It is not difficult to understand why Fang Qifu dared to enter Kaifeng at this time, because they have people in the local area and are simply fearless.
In fact, the activities of the Ming Cult were not greatly affected by Fang La's death. The Ming Cult continued to rebel throughout the early Southern Song Dynasty. However, after the Song Dynasty moved south, the military power surged in the south, and these people could not cause too much storm. But it was not that Fang La died, which caused a heavy blow to the Ming Cult. On the contrary, they did not stop their activities.
Fang La is not the supreme leader of the Ming Cult. He is at best a local leader. In fact, there is no leader of the Ming Cult...
Even the names are different from each place.
Huainan is one name, another name for Liangzhe. Only northern Fujian and southern Zhejiang are called Ming Cult. It was first targeted by the court since Wenzhou. After Fang La's death, the great painters severely attacked the Ming Cult, but it was interrupted by the Jingkang Incident. The Ming Cult quickly recovered its strength and began to rebel again by the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, after the southward transition, the court's military strength in the south was greatly enhanced. These resistances that were purely peasant rebellion were not enough in front of the veterans of the wars in the north.
"Don't worry, Kaifeng Mansion is unlucky. If he dares to come to me, I would really want to have another fight with him!"
Wang Yue said.
He really had nothing to care about, after all, he was about to leave Kaifeng.
Today is the sixth day of the fourth month. The day they set off is the tenth day of the day. When they arrive in Hebei, they still have a Mao Fang Qi Buddha!
