The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 37 Technological upgrade of Ming weapons
The sun in winter is a bit dim, failing to give the earth more warmth.

Li Yunze, who left the city with his entourage, braved the cold winter wind and waded through a river full of ice slag to a Huangzhuang in the suburbs.

The people here have already been moved away, and the surrounding guards are heavily guarded. Anyone who dares to approach will be arrested and interrogated immediately.

Li Yunze, who had had several rounds of rain in the spring breeze last night, was still circling in his mind. He was shocked by the cold winter wind and woke up instantly.

Riding his horse into the gate, Li Yunze got off his horse and took off his white cloak and threw it to the saluting steward, "Go to the warehouse."

The warehouse was built in an open area, and it was built with the high-grade cement he brought in, so it was extremely strong.

The wall is painted with big characters'Beware of candles! '

Only the steward has the key to the warehouse, and after opening the door, Li Yunze walked in cautiously.

The reason for being so cautious is that all the new-style gunpowder that has been manufactured is stored here.

Li Yunze killed Wei Zhongxian at the beginning, in order to buy time and get rid of his main energy from the battle of wits and courage with Nine Thousand Years Old.

The purpose of going to the south of the Yangtze River is to rectify the rear and solve the worries of the future.

The purpose of rebuilding the three major battalions is to build up the strength of the decisive battle, clenching your fists and holding the handle of the knife.

After finishing all these tasks, Li Yunze, who was determined to fight the Tartars, had to find ways to increase his fighting power.

The easiest way to fight against those Tartars who are skilled in bows and horses and are highly skilled in fighting in battle is to use firearms.

In this regard, he used the power of modern technology.

The first change is gunpowder.

The optimized formula derived from the modern world, the master craftsmen of the Inner Palace and the Ministry of Industry, after the salary has been greatly improved, produced high-purity gunpowder with their hands.

Then use egg white to knead the new formula powder into granules.

Granular gunpowder, which greatly enhanced the power of black gunpowder, appeared in Daming.

Li Yunze inspected it carefully, even picked it up and smelled it, to confirm whether it was really egg white.

There was no way, he had already lost confidence in the subordinate officials of Ming Dynasty.

"Take a box out." Cao Bianjiao, who was accompanying the escort, "go to the shooting range and try."

When he came to the shooting range, Cao Bianjiao personally carried a newly-made musket, poured granules of gunpowder into a quantitative cardboard shell, stuffed it into the lead tip and pushed it into the musket.

After compacting, he raised his musket and aimed at the target fifty paces away.

When the trigger is pulled, the flintlock gear turns and hits the fire door, igniting the fixed gunpowder.

With a bang, the lead bullet roared out under the impetus of tremendous force, and hit the target fiercely.

The wooden target was directly pierced through a large hole.

Li Yunze didn't know much about this, so he directly asked the professionals, "Qing Cao, how do you feel?"

"Okay, great!"

Joyful Cao Bianjiao nodded again and again, "From the medicine to the firecracker, everything is good. It is much better than the previous one. It is completely one heaven and one earth."

"It's an advancement in materials technology."

He took the gun and stroked the warm body of the gun with his hand.

Li Yunze looked at the words 'Zhou Zhiwu, master craftsman of the inner palace, made on the 29th day of the first month of the second year of Chongzhen' engraved on the wooden support.

"Also, the skillful hands of master craftsmen."

It is said that the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty are really miserable.

His status was very low, and he was classified as a craftsman with a humble nationality.

Life is miserable, the kind where you can't even eat.

The Ming army popularized firearms very early, but the quality has declined year after year.

During the reign of Chongzhen, it even reached the point where sergeants dared not use it.

Because the quality of firearms is too poor, the chamber often explodes.

The reason why the quality is poor is because the craftsmen are precarious and regarded as inferior. Of course, they have no intention to improve the quality.
Li Yunze directly merged all the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the Inner Palace, abolished low status and greatly improved the treatment of craftsmen.

The basic salary is enough to support the family, guarantee the quality of the finished product, and get a lot of bonuses.

The enthusiasm for labor is immediately stimulated.

In order to ensure the quality, in addition to the special inspection when leaving the factory, the name of the manufacturer is engraved on the gun body.

Once there is a problem, it is right to go to the master directly.

"Bring a pair of armor."

The wooden target was removed and replaced with a thick iron armor.

Li Yunze reloaded and reloaded according to the steps, aimed and pulled the trigger.

There was a bang, the smoke was lingering, and the momentum was very loud.

Looking carefully at the past, Zhajia was intact, it was a miss.

Li Yunze's face turned a little red.

It's definitely not embarrassment, it's just that it's too cold and windy, and he didn't put on Beibi's skin care cream when he went out!

A mere fifty steps, a distance of more than 80 and less than 100 meters, which failed to hit.

Everyone around, from Cao Bianjiao to the handymen in the shooting range, all looked at their noses and noses, and their noses and minds were like an old monk in meditation. He lost his eyesight at the same time and saw nothing.

After reloading, Li Yunze took a deep breath and picked up the firecracker again.

Showing off the concentration I had when I was practicing archery these days, it is no longer the casual shooting that I did when I was fighting the landlord.

After aiming carefully for a while, he pulled the trigger again.

This time it hit, the lead bullet directly hit Zha Jia's abdomen, a hole was punched in the front, and a bowl opened directly in the back.

If it was changed to the battlefield, the abdominal cavity would be emptied in one go.

Cao Bianjiao, who was an old monk before, came back to life instantly.

"Long Live Kamui~~~"

Everyone around cheered in unison and cheered vigorously.

With that excited heart and trembling hands, it was as if Li Yunze had killed not Zhajia, but a dragon.

Li Yunze, who is self-aware, will not get lost in these flattery.

He knew very well what was the reason for the sudden increase in the power of the firecracker.

In addition to the improved version of granular gunpowder that can fully burn and release explosive power.

Barrels and flintlock parts, including springs, he ordered from factories in the modern world under the guise of exporting to Africa.

Because of the small quantity, it is not uncommon for large factories to do business. It is still a small factory found through a certain platform to pick up the business.

Basically a product of the modern world except for a few parts and wooden parts.

In addition, the work enthusiasm and efficiency of the craftsmen have improved, and the quality supervision has also been guaranteed.

The improvement of power and practicality is also a natural thing.

"You must be careful of fire and candles here in the warehouse." Before leaving, Li Yunze instructed the steward, "When the army comes to pick up the goods, the same is true during transportation."

After leaving this Huangzhuang, Cao Bianjiao asked, "Long live, are you going back to the city?"

"No hurry, go to the artillery factory to have a look."

A group of people rode their horses again and headed straight to another Huangzhuang more than ten miles away against the wind and snow.

The security is the same, the difference is that the shooting range here is huge.

When the new General Cannon was launched, Li Yunze himself laughed.

There is no doubt that the gun barrel is also a seamless tube ordered in the name of exporting to Africa in the modern world, and it is specially required to be thicker.

Because of this, he had to go out of his way to explain to the factory that these things are all supporting pipes ordered for a factory in Africa, and all kinds of information must be available.

In addition, the gun mounts were all replaced with rubber tires.

During the test firing at the shooting range, when a shell passed by, half of the hillside exploded with a bang, and the flames splashed and flamed into the sky.

Everyone around loudly cheered Long Live who lit the fire himself, but Li Yunze's expression was very strange.

"Are you insulting my IQ, or looking down on me?"

Stretching out his finger and pointing to the hillside halfway in the distance, "The shot was shot with solid lead bullets, which can hit half of the hillside? You have pre-buried gunpowder and kerosene. You are looking down on me."

The steward who originally wanted to curry favor with the emperor was dumbfounded.

How did the emperor know about these little tricks?
Li Yunze, whose good mood was disturbed, ordered to change the manager as soon as possible, and set off back to the city with a dark face.

Li Yunze, who returned to the Forbidden City, was not idle either. He took a few rain teams headed by Qin Tianjian, who were about to leave Beijing for various places, to the warehouse, and distributed catalysts to let them go on the road as soon as possible.

The drought in Daming continued to worsen. In addition to asking various places to dig wells and pools to store water, what Li Yunze could do was to buy more sets of artificial rainfall systems and distribute them to various places to increase rainfall.

After a busy day's work, Li Yunze came to a side hall.

"I want to meditate quietly, and don't bother anyone."

Instructing Wang Chengen to guard outside, after entering the side hall, Li Yunze activated the time-space gate to return to the modern world.

The lights here in Xiangjiang are just beginning to come on, which is just the beginning of night life.

After a brief count of the imported grain in the warehouse, it will be transported to Daming World in a few days and sent to Sun Chuanting.

The living space of the rogues in Shaanxi has been gradually compressed. In order to avoid their resurgence, it is necessary to provide adequate relief when they are out of reach.

He went out to get in the car, and when he left the warehouse, he took two packs of cigarettes and stuffed them into the security guards' box.

"thank you boss."

Stretching out his hand and waving it outside the car window, Li Yunze drove away from the pier.

When I came to the bustling urban area, I first found a restaurant to have a meal, and then drove back to the office rented by the leather bag company to continue my busy work.

"Hi, is it Dahai Company? I'm very interested in your company's XX drone."

"How to go about the purchase process, of course, is company-to-company"

"Use, the purpose is to export to Africa, it is agricultural equipment."

"Of course I don't just need a shell, but I need to add camera equipment. Give me the best one. Expensive? I'll add money!"

"How about the operation training, no? I'll add money!"

After some exchanges, Li Yunze ordered two drones and spare parts from Dahai Company in the name of the company.

There is also additional operator training.

The Tartars did a great job in shielding battlefield information, and Li Yunze decided to use Zenith Star technology to crush them.

As for the operation training, it can only be done by himself.

After agreeing on a time and place, Li Yunze hung up the phone and stretched.

"I have done enough for Daming."

Lying on the camp bed in the office, Li Yunze began to watch the live broadcast when he was bored.

He never watched those famous anchors, only watched little unknown anchors.

Flipping and flipping, I turned to the live broadcast room of Bubble Fish.

"Tomorrow I'm going to Shencheng to participate in the Ancient Style Clothing Exhibition. I'm so happy."

Hearing this, Li Yunze smiled like a thief.

"What a coincidence, I'm also going to Shencheng for training."
