Chapter 15 Military Residence
There was no Chen Mu's business at the subsequent court meeting. He was now idle at home. He hired a minor official from the Ministry of Works to summon a group of craftsmen and tossed the Chen Mansion again. He took this opportunity to go to Wanquandusi for a few days.
It was not an abuse of power, he would give money as much as he could. It was just that the officials of the Ministry of Works knew which craftsmen were good at craftsmen. They hired the Xiangshan craftsmen in Suzhou who had just built a house for Feng Bao in Baoding. The repair of the Chen Mansion was a small job for them.
I didn't take Xu Wei when I went out to play. First, it was because I needed someone at home, but this was not important. It was something that the old man didn't need to think about to make himself sick. Second, it was because he scolded himself, so he didn't take him to play.
Xu Wei, who was frozen in spirit, spoke directly. He said that Chen Mu always disliked this and that, and thought that Li Rusong spoke like a fart, and Du Song had a bad temper. In fact, he didn't speak well himself. He always ran to the chief minister to talk about governing the country and invited the Ministry of War to his home to talk about military reform. He was so stupid!
When he was back in his hometown, Chen Mu was in a good mood and stayed in Yongguan City God Temple. He said to Zhao Shizhen: "Xu Wei is right, Changji, you must hear it in your heart."
Zhao Shizhen: "???"
That's not yours?
Chen Mu was serious: "Don't always talk about R&D weapons in front of me. Your Thunder gun is really ugly!"
"Master, you are talking nonsense again." Zhao Shizhen didn't take Chen Mu's words seriously. He curled his lips and fiddled with the drawing in front of him and said to himself: "Eight gun barrels, a tube of tincture should be filled in between. After the gun is fired, the tincture oil will be sprayed out to burn people. And... Yes, the bracket, the bracket is made with a hand axe, and General Lin's axe is majestic, so use the axe as a bracket!"
Chen Mu crossed his legs on the couch, holding a wine pot with one hand and holding a wine glass with the other, wrapped in a quilt without any manners, siping the soju wine without any etiquette. Seeing Zhao Shizhen leaning on the table and carefully describing his masterpiece of military weapons, he curled his lips easily and said to Du Song opposite the bed table: "Isn't it ugly?"
Du Song blinked. He looked down on Chen Mu, who was a man who was accustomed to drinking soju wine in small mouthfuls. He looked up and emptied the wine glass. He then took the wine pot from Chen Mu and filled it with him, saying, "Your glass of wine can be drunk until tomorrow morning, the old Taoist priest swept it. No, Bei Zhi is saying that you pour wine for you!"
Du Heizi was staring at the wine pot by Chen Mu, and his momentum was three points lower. He held the wine pot and said with a smirk: "But I think the Xunlei gun of Xiao Yuanwai is not bad. The gun barrel is long and the hair is more hairy. If it is made compactly, it can be used as a mace, which is the shield that is unnecessary."
Mr. Zhao was used to being a slut in the Nanyang Military Mansion. He was arrogant when he went out and pretended to be short quails when he entered. He was so familiar with this job that he could not be more familiar with. He just held the rules and pinched a charcoal pen to outline the picture. Unconsciously he followed Du Song's suggestion and repainted a mace version of Thunder Gun.
"The shield can be used or not, this is the positioning of weapons. His Thunder gun has a range of less than ordinary bird guns. We currently have a killing gun that pursues accurate long-range killing and can kill people within 100 steps; the range of ordinary bird guns can reach 150 steps, but the maximum efficiency of killing the enemy must be fired from 30 or even twenty steps. At this distance, our gunners can ensure that they hit human-shaped wooden targets again and again after aiming. In combat, this result will drop to about 50%.
"I am different from Shin-Ship Qi in this regard. Shin-Ship Qi's soldiers are eighty steps away. If they are not sure, they will be punished." Chen Mu explained to Du Song with a smile: "My soldiers are willing to put a small flag arrow and attack in layers. This is similar to the offensive tactics that the country has established at the beginning."
This surprised Du Song and stared at him and asked, "Master, are you still reading books?"
Chen Mu looked at Du Song with annoyance. Du Heizi was respectful to face him in front of others. Without the big mouth of outsiders, his nature was exposed, but it was still undespicable.
"Do you think that in the combat regulations, "the army horn sounded long before the battle, and the drums were prepared, and all the teams were strictly prepared," "the captain of the team who was unstoppable before the war was held, and those who were slowed down and uneven were stationed to be punished." "Before the troops were withdrawn, the second and third floors were still in line. The lower battalion of the front level was set, where did the military orders come from, huh?"
Chen Mu snorted and said, "That's all the old Ming army system of Emperor Chengzu. When writing military law, I was preparing for the military exam. I knew little. I didn't know that the court's military law had been abolished so much that the chief officer could decide for himself. I was also afraid that the censors would be scolded. They were all copied into Emperor Taizu. The old system of Emperor Chengzu was waiting for others to scold me for committing military law and using the ancestor's laws to scold me. Others know more than me, and no one scolded me."
Du Song didn't know what Chen Mu was disappointed. God knew that his handsome man was looking forward to a chance to slap in the face. Chen Mu waved his hand and said, "It's not unnecessary to say that the shield of the Thunder Gun is outside the little master. The power of the gun cannon lies in the burning and deflation of the gun powder in the chamber. Therefore, the longer the gun barrel, the more powerful it is. The structure of the Thunder Gun is inherently determined that it will not shoot far, at most a hundred steps."
"In the war, the power of this gun must be at least sixty steps to highlight. From nearly sixty steps to nearly ten steps to nearly ten steps, fifty steps, wearing armor and swords, the pulse can reach eleven or two times. At this time... Xiaoshiwai!" Chen Mu shouted at Zhao Shizhen and said, "I suggest you change the gun barrel to five. If the enemy is a cavalry, you can only kill faster."
"Actually, if you really like to think about guns, cannons, rockets, I have a better direction for you to think about it. No matter who you are, the more simple and direct the weapons are, the more beneficial they are in war. Instead, fancy weapons will add complexity to war."
"In three months, in addition to routine training, a bird gun and ninety lead balls can cultivate a flag army that basically masters the queue, shooting skills, and thorns. Although his morale, physical fitness, enthusiasm for war, the sense of honor and combat experience of the Ming Empire are still poor, he can already be mixed with veterans as a reserve flag army. Why should he spend an extra month to learn to turn the Thunder gun skillfully, and not install the wrong lead balls in so many gun barrels, and add pressure to the baggage?"
"A flag army holding a thunder gun cannot match the five flag army holding a bird gun, but building a thunder gun requires five or more iron materials."
"Chen is not talented. As the person who knows the most about the trend of firearm war in the whole world, he should be qualified to teach Xiaoshou a lesson."
The man who knows the most about the trend of firearm war is sitting on the bed wrapped in a purple quilt and full of pride.
"The ultimate goal of bird guns, cannons, rockets, grenades, mines and mines is to make the simpler the person who uses weapons the better, not the more complex the better."
"Bird guns are small cannons, and cannons are large bird cannons. There is actually not much difference between these two. Improve the range, rate of fire, increase power, and accuracy. Specifically, we can find solutions based on the firing method, the rifle of the gun barrel, the material of the lead bullet, and the weight reduction; mines and mines have different firing methods, and the use environment has their own strengths. Prefabricated fragmentation technology, lethality and protection of our army's grenades, cable operators pay equal attention to power and waterproofing."
"As for the Rockets, there should be nothing to improve for the moment. Before I went north, I just sent an improvement plan to the Nanyang Military Weapons Bureau. If it could be done, we might have a new rocket weighing more than ten kilograms in the future and can launch five or six hundred steps."
