Chapter 253 Giant Gun
Bai Yuanjie has experienced it when he went to Beiyang. In his early years, he and Chen Mu said that the gun barrel that he had been jokingly and was far away from him, and the big gun that killed the thief's head was built by Beiyang.
In fact, it is a copy of the Spanish heavy-duty match rope gun. It started to be made under the order of the Ministry of Works. The more the craftsmen of the Military Weapon Bureau become, the more dissatisfied.
Because this thing is useless, the main Ming army's hot weapons sequence has passed the years of fumble.
Bird gun, killing general gun, small flag arrow, tiger squat cannon, Fran machine cannon, Shenwei machine arrow, and two-jin cannon, constitute the military equipment used by the Land Division, which can cope with near, medium, far, shielding, fortifications, scattering, rapid fire, direct fire, arc fire, etc.
Heavy muskets have great power, long range, and limited accuracy; Killer Gun is its excellent substitute, and higher accuracy can also ensure accurate killing. There is no one who cannot be killed by a large-caliber killer Gun.
And at a longer distance, a light Franco machine direct aiming is a better choice.
But the Ministry of Works has an order, and the Beiyang Military Weapon Bureau must make it; the Beiyang craftsmen who made useless waste products were unhappy. They were probably the most professional and honor-oriented military craftsmen. The Beiyang Banner Army used the weapons they made to conquer the world!
Then a series of magic modifications began to break out of the disadvantages of overlapping the use environment, the gun barrel was thickened and lengthened, and then the caliber was simply increased. It also confirmed the theorem of the Nanyang Martial Arts Hall researchers. In fact, this theorem was said by Chen Mu, but more people learned from the study of Guan Yuangu, so it was called the Guan family gun system.
That is, under the premise that the ammunition remains unchanged, the longer the range of the gun barrel before reaching the "Guan's length"; after reaching the "Guan's length", the longer the gun barrel, the closer the range.
Then the more we built it, the more we became. For two years, the military craftsmen of the Beiyang Military Bureau sacrificed their lives to drink wine and brag about it and built twenty-seven heavy guns for the court. There were no two shots in them that were exactly the same shape, which means that none of them was satisfied with the craftsmen.
The arsenal is like a museum to Bai Yuanjie who was transferred from Nanyang.
There is a giant flintlock gun with a length of eight feet and a weight of 36 kilograms. It was installed on a light two-wheeled car and fired 7 taels of lead. It was able to pass through 200 steps out of the box, but it was not called a "half-pound cannon".
Another giant musket called half jin cannon is five feet long. Although the barrel is short, the caliber is larger and weighs twenty-six jin. It not only has a triangular shank behind the butt, but also a gun rack made of Majiagang Hei Shui Mahe sled. It uses a specially designed iron shell spoiler, which has extremely strong penetration power of thirty or fifty steps.
"This is the 26th heavy gun made by me. At this point, the craftsmen don't want to continue building it. It's useless. These things are not useful. It's better to build hundreds of bird guns than to have the energy."
This is how the craftsman introduced this little monster to Bai Yuanjie: "It's great. Street fighting to defend the city is of great use. Three guns block a street, and you can kill as much as you come in. Just be careful when firing the gun. Last time, a craftsman was broken by the back seat."
Bai Yuanjie originally wanted to try these new things, but she gave up after hearing this.
As for what the craftsman said, he could understand smoothly that weapons are not easy to damage, are produced in large quantities, and are easy to operate, and their importance is divided into sequence.
Bai Yuanjie can understand why he still made twenty-seven after making twenty-six shots. After all, it was the Ming Dynasty, and everything can be used as a franca machine.
These huge weapons that seem powerful but are actually useless are really useless, not to mention being equipped with an army. Nanyang is not needed. However, Chen Mu's Dongyang may be useful.
After all, the war reports from the Asian War have clearly stated that the Spaniards like to assemble dense military formations, but they are only useful and do not have any major effect.
It is not convenient to carry individual soldiers, and it seems too clear when carrying mules and horses. Moreover, it is generally too long, which makes these weapons awkward. However, Qi Jiguang sent someone to Beiyang to see these weapons a few days ago. After the test shooting at the school ground, he went back with parameters. It seemed that he wanted to get a batch of heavy weapons back.
Bai Yuanjie estimated that Marshal Qi might want to use cement to directly put these things on the Great Wall?
What really made him curious was Feiyu.
The terrifying thing that could fly with winged dragon head fish made Bai Yuanjie feel extremely novel.
This thing can actually fly!
In fact, not only him, since the birth of Feiyu, all the attention of the Beiyang Military Weapons Bureau has focused on this new weapon, which can attack enemies on the ground from the world. Not to mention Beiyang, even the imperial court has praised this object and urgently ordered Beiyang to push it into the army within five years.
Five years, this time sounds like a long time, but in fact it is very difficult for Ye Mengxiong. They still have too many problems that have not been solved. The most important thing is that safety is difficult to guarantee, and precise control of course and delivery is difficult to guarantee.
If you have good luck, you will burn your enemy's ship, and if you have bad luck, you will burn your own ship.
However, the tactical innovation brought about by the complete development is naturally different, especially when it can be applied to land wars, it can fly up and launch a rocket from the sky and shoot down the enemy camp, and it can hit the turbulent oil bottle. This tactic is heartwarming to think about.
In fact, Bai Yuanjie especially wanted to bring Feiyu to Chen Mu of the East China Season 3. After all, in Bai Yuanjie's mind, Chen Mu is very good at making these things.
As April approached, before the Hairui people arrived in the country, the letters had already been held in the court. The request for Songjiang Prefecture to open a fortune was passed in the court without any obstacles. The only thing worth debating was the tax rate of Songjiang Prefecture.
Before this matter was agreed, the imperial court ordered merchants to buy cotton cloth for Dadongyang to buy and sell cotton cloth to Dadongyang. However, the goods sold in the third phase of the Beiyang have already started loading ships in Beiyang, and it is difficult for a single cotton cloth to meet the amount of cargo required by Chen Mu.
The court launched a temporary measure to draw more than 3 million pieces of cotton cloth in the folded color of the real thing and transported it to the East Ocean with the third phase of Beiyang. At the same time, Emperor Wanli, who planned to punish his grandfather, issued an edict to the East Ocean Military Mansion.
The emperor was not greedy at all, saying that these various cotton cloths were sold on behalf of the person, with a market price of three cents of silver per piece, totaling 900,000 taels of silver. The Dongyang Military Office sold on behalf of the person for two years. After two years, the silver was handed back to the Ministry of Revenue, and 1.8 million taels were paid.
In addition, the annual profit of 10% of the delivery bank is added to the internal warehouse by adding 360,000 taels.
The vast ship transport team was sent from all over the country to Tianjin, and at the same time, more than 100 other blessing ships were recruited, which allowed the third phase of Beiyang to leave the port as scheduled.
In just two years, merchant cargo ships along the coast of Ming Dynasty have shown an oversupply. People and coastal shipyards have been building ships endlessly, while the ships needed for New World routes are close to saturation, and most of the ships are sold to the South China Sea.
The shipyard directly under the imperial court has stopped building new merchant ships.
They were thinking about bigger warships.
