Chapter 244 The Flintlock Rifle Comes Out

It is human nature to tend towards the victor, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Hou Jin has suffered repeated setbacks this year, and the surrounding hostile forces will take advantage of the fire and loot it immediately, but it is inevitable to despise it.

If the decline cannot be reversed, maybe there will be a certain force just around the corner.Nurhachi cannot predict possible changes, his worry and impatience are also normal thinking.

In the eyes of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, using Han soldiers and preparing firearms is a good way to win the army's long skills and reverse the passive situation.

But in Zhu Youxiao's view, the decisive factor in the outcome of Ming and Qing wars in history was not advanced and new weapons, but the corruption of Ming Dynasty.

In the final analysis, weapons are important, but in the absence of a crushing advantage, talents are the key factor in determining the outcome of a war.

And according to present technology and manufacture level, also can't make aircraft cannon machine gun.To defeat the Donglu, you must work hard on the officers and soldiers.

With Ming's manpower superiority, even if it is only equipped with swords and spears, as long as the army fights bravely, it will be enough to defeat the Eastern captives, right?

Of course, if the ability allows and the weapons are advanced, it is best to lead the world trend. This is also the urine of the traversers.

And Zhu Youxiao has a good fate. He is the supreme emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.As long as it is used well, as long as he proposes an idea, someone will naturally help him complete it.

Zhu Youxiao was excited and excited with the new type of musket presented by the Gunpowder and Weapons Bureau - the self-generating musket.

Although his wooden gun served as a good reminder, Sun Yuanhua and others did not know how much hard work it took to turn it into a real thing.

The construction of the flintlock is roughly the same as that of the arquebus, except for the difference in the firing mechanism.

The matchlock is to be fixed on the matchlock clip (that is, the hammer of the gun later), the trigger is pulled, the matchlock falls, the primer is ignited, and then the propellant is ignited.

In the flintlock gun, the matchlock is replaced with a polished flint piece. There is an anvil next to the fire transmission hole, and the trigger is pulled. Ignite the gunpowder to fire.

One is an open flame, which does not require much power from the hammer; the other requires greater force to generate sparks by hitting and friction.

This is what Zhu Youxiao thinks is a technical difficulty, a spring or steel sheet with strong elasticity.

Although crucible steelmaking is successful, long-term experiments are still needed to find out the appropriate ratio and process to produce elastic steel with relatively stable quality.

Pulling the hammer, Zhu aimed the gun at the school end and pulled the trigger.

The piece of flint was struck heavily on the anvil, and a few sparks burst out, as if the light flashed in the dark night, illuminating the emperor's eyes.

"Okay, very good." Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath and let out a long breath. Although it was not inlaid with gold and jade, he still treasured the sample gun and let the palace guards put it away.

Looking up at the two bowed and standing in the hall, Zhu Youxiao suppressed his excitement and maintained the emperor's reserve, although his voice changed a little.

"Sun Qing, Bi Qing. This will be the best New Year's gift for me." Zhu Youxiao praised, then turned to look at Liu Ruoyu, and ordered: "The proposed purpose: Sun Yuanhua adds capital to govern Yin (Wen Xun) Zheng Sanpin), promoted to Tongyi Doctor (Wen Sanjie Zheng Sanpin), given flying fish clothes, Guiyu, and rewarded with 200 taels of silver;”

"Bi Maokang Jiazan Zhiyin (Wen Xunzheng [-]th grade), promoted to Zhongxian Doctor (Wen Sanjie [-]th grade), bestowed with bullfighting clothes, and rewarded with a hundred taels of silver..."

"Thank you, my minister, for your kindness." Sun Yuanhua and Bi Maokang knelt down and kowtowed their thanks.

Bi Maokang was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. He was awarded the title of Zhongshu Sheren.

But he is famous in history because he edited the "Illustration of Military Weapons" more than ten years later, in which he introduced the flintlock for the first time (called self-generated firecrackers in the book).

Now, with the recommendation of Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, and the appreciation and promotion of the emperor, Bi Maokang abandoned politics and went to work, and made a flintlock musket more than ten years ahead of schedule, which can be listed in history.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, not concealing his cheerful mood, and said: "There will be a decree later, Sun Qing and Bi Qing will go back and wait."

After Sun Yuanhua and Bi Maokang thanked them again, they resigned and left.

yeah!Zhu Youxiao swung his fist vigorously, with a flintlock gun and a bayonet, nearly a hundred years ahead!Donglu, Jiannu, what do you use to fight me?

The emperor excitedly got up from his seat and paced back and forth in the hall.

The next step is to manufacture and equip it on a large scale, coupled with paper shell fixed ammunition, it is said that well-trained soldiers can reach a speed of five rounds per minute.

Uh-huh!The equipment of the flintlock also means a change in tactics, and requires the retraining and adaptation of the army.

Moreover, the flintlock can be used as usual when it is not particularly rainy or snowy.This undoubtedly enhanced the infantry's field combat capabilities, and the big counterattack also had the basis for victory.

In one year, Zhu Youxiao estimated the time required for manufacturing, equipment, training, etc., as well as the manufacturing scale of field artillery, and set a new timetable.

Have a good year!Zhu Youxiao looked forward to it in his heart and felt that he had done his best to prepare.

Ning Yuan and Jue Hua don't need to worry too much. The bastion is equipped with Hongyi cannons. If Jiannu is coming, it depends on how many people can be killed.

The headquarters of Dongjiang Town is also basically safe. The big deal is to temporarily abandon the farm land on land and withdraw to the island. What can Jiannu do?
Zhu Youxiao was only worried about Luda, which had just been recovered.To this end, he dispatched a batch of artillery, and also sent artillery officers who graduated from martial arts to strengthen the defense force of Luda area.

Although they are all old artillery, such as Franc machine, tiger squat gun, etc., they are still powerful, and they will also play a great role in position defense.

As for the Hongyi cannons, apart from Ningyuan adding more than a dozen more, Zhu Youxiao will not draw them to the army for the time being, but will fully supply the navy and coastal fortresses.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also asked Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan to prepare for the reinforcement of Luda, and continued to deliver food, grass and ammunition to the Luda area.

It shouldn't be a problem, and it can definitely be defended. Jian Nu can't afford such a large number of casualties.

Zhu Youxiao repeatedly encouraged himself and strengthened his confidence.

Don't say it, this trick works.When the emperor fiddled with the flintlock gun again, he was in a good mood and laughed happily.

Should we go out and shoot a few shots?Zhu Youxiao walked to the door with a flintlock gun in his hand. Before he could make a final decision, the excrement shovel officer rushed in.

"My lord, I have not found Lady Bai." The girl hastily saluted and told the emperor anxiously.

did not find?Could it be that stinky and shameless Ye Hei, who abducted our white lady with his stalking persistence?

Zhu Youxiao felt that using Ye Hei to practice marksmanship was also a good choice.But when he finished thinking with a frown and raised his head to look at the "shit shovel officer", he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

It doesn't matter if the leaves are black and the leaves are white, there is only such a guy in the palace, you let the white lady have no choice!
