The production of this thing is really not difficult. The Ming Dynasty already had mature casting technology, and it was easy to mass-produce molds with mud.

And honestly, this shell is just a modified version of the wooden handle grenade, that is, the two-layer ignition is a little troublesome, but Chongzhen believes that with Bi Maokang's technology, it is no problem to solve this small problem.

"This thing is strong, it's just awesome!" Chongzhen praised Ye Yu's words, his face full of excitement: "With this baby, what is Jiannu, I have to wait for a salvo. , it is impossible to wipe them all out. 99

"Don't worry, sir, I will immediately let the Artillery Bureau start manufacturing this time when I go back, and manufacture this mortar in the shortest possible time!

"What is this, it's a bit like an Italian cannon, I haven't told you about Katyusha or anything!" Ye Yu waved his hand and said, "Old Zhu, I have a lot of treasures here, what you have to do It is to vigorously develop the firearms manufacturing industry. After the slaves are eliminated, these advanced artillery technologies here will be handed over to you.

"In the future, all your soldiers and horses will have to eliminate cold weapons, and you must be equipped with hot weapons."

"When fighting with the enemy, first come with a wave of justice to wash the ground, and when the enemy is approaching, use a volley of flintlock guns, then put on a shield, throw a grenade, and hide behind the shield with a cold shot."5

'This wave, even in the face of a million army, you can kill them back.

Chongzhen nodded again and again, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that the previous battle of hand-to-hand combat and swapping wounds for wounds was too backward.

You are right, firearms are the trump card of future wars!

"Listening to what Mr. said, many people feel that the army of one million people in Daqin seems to be vulnerable! Ying Zheng smiled bitterly: "If you follow your tactics, Mr. Chongzhen, in a few years, it is estimated that 50,000 people from Chongzhen will be able to defeat me. Millions of Qin troops were killed. 35

"Of course, although Qin Nu is very strong, compared with firearms, the gap is still too big. In the future, cold weapons will eventually be eliminated." Ye Yu shrugged and said, "What are you afraid of, Daming can Equipped with equipment, you can equip, all you have to do is to farm well, and then exchange with Lao Zhu.

"After you have eliminated the Huns, I will naturally help you to gradually improve the basic industrial construction from the most basic beginning, and then you will be able to make guns and cannons yourself.

After Ye Yu comforted him, Ying Zheng Wang Ben Dun smiled happily.

Wang Ben winked at Chongzhen and said, "Emperor Chongzhen, you have to step up the production of firearms, especially this mortar. This thing is good, and the prince likes it very much. I will give you the future supply of firearms in Daqin."

Chongzhen smiled and said: "Don't worry, Marquis Tongwu, I naturally understand that when the rebels and Jiannu are eliminated, this firearm is the most important development direction of my Ming Dynasty, and I will never relax!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Ying Zheng." Ying Zheng said excitedly: "This time the Huns have been eliminated, and the widowers must erect a monument for Mr. to praise Mr.'s great achievements."

"Hahahaha, it's good to write that Immortal Master is here." Ye Yu smiled and brought out a plate of watermelon: "Come on, come and taste the watermelon I planted.

"Old Zhao, I still have some opinions on this attack on the Xiongnu, listen to me.

"Sir, please speak, the widow will naturally listen carefully."

After another night of communication, Chongzhen returned to the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Wang Chengen, Bi Maokang, Cao Huachun and others were already waiting outside the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing Chongzhen and Li Yuanyin come out, the three of them bowed again and again: "I see you, Your Majesty!"

"No ceremony!" Chongzhen waved his hand.

Without sleep all night, Chongzhen's spirit not only did not deteriorate, but he was in good spirits.

He also discovered this, in the fairyland as if even the air is sweet, staying there will not make people feel tired at all.

Not to mention, today Ye Yu told him so much advanced knowledge, and now Chongzhen is more excited.

Looking at the wooden handle grenades and fire guns piled up outside the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen's spirit was immersed in the watch, and when his mind moved, a two-meter-high light gate suddenly appeared in front of him.

"This...this is?"

Seeing this door of light, Bi Maokang and the others were stunned and stood there sluggishly, not knowing how to react.

Li Yuanyin explained on the side: "This is an immortal weapon given to Your Majesty by the Immortal Master, you don't need to panic.

Chongzhen stood in front of the door of light and looked inside curiously. There seemed to be a layer of water light on the door of light, and he could see a white space inside.

But when Chongzhen wanted to stretch his hand in, the water curtain firmly blocked his hand from the light curtain.

"As expected of the magic given by the immortals, it is indeed amazing! 35

Chongzhen smiled, and with a wave of his hand, the firearms piled on the ground suddenly floated into the air, lined up in a long dragon, and flew neatly toward the door of light.

They will pass through this gate and fall into Ying Zheng's hands.

Seeing this mythical scene, Bi Maokang and the others all looked sluggish and could hardly believe their eyes.

After a long time, they reacted and said excitedly: "It's amazing, it's really amazing! 35

"Is this the method of the Immortal Master?

"Why can't I enter the fairy gate, why I have no chance to see the fairy!"

Sun Heding thumped his chest and paused, looking at Li Yuanyin with envy and jealousy, wondering if this guy with the big five and the three roughs could enter the fairy gate, but he was excluded.

Is it because he is not devout enough to the immortal master?

"Hahaha, Sun Qing, don't be discouraged, as long as you work hard for me, the gate of immortality will open for you! 99

Chongzhen smiled and reassured him, then his face suddenly became straight: "Sun Qing, I want you to process the battles day and night, speed up the manufacture of flintlock guns and grenades, and make 500,000 shots as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Sun Heding said quickly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Wei Chen will do his best!"

35 Chongzhen nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Bi Maokang: "Bi Qing, the immortal master has given me a new type of artillery, and I need you to hurry up!"

"what?

Bi Maokang's face is full of confusion, and there are artillery pieces to build?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work." Bi Maokang said with an embarrassed face: "The artillery bureau is understaffed, and we have to build red-clothed cannons, and we have to develop new artillery pieces. Where can there be manpower to make new artillery pieces. 35

"If you don't have enough manpower, you can go to the people to find it. We are not short of money now." Chongzhen said flatly: "The red-clothed artillery will not need to be rebuilt in the future. This kind of artillery is cumbersome, its power is small, the manufacturing cost is still very high, and it is not easy to transport. It's convenient, why do you make this kind of thing?

"You lead the development of new artillery, and Sun Heding has a lot of experience in the development of artillery. I will let him assist. As for other craftsmen, I will do my best to produce this new type of artillery!"5

After finishing speaking, Chongzhen handed the simple picture of the mortar that he just took time to draw to Bi Maokang.

He has seen the video of the mortar launch, and it is not difficult for him to draw a simple drawing, as long as he can understand the general structure.

"Aiqing, look, this thing is called a mortar, it needs to be made of 100-forged steel, it's not difficult, it can fire quickly, it's powerful, and it's very convenient to carry.

"The Immortal Master said that making this kind of artillery requires...

Chongzhen pointed at the drawings and continued to explain.

He has a good memory, and Ye Yu explained it very carefully, and Li Yuanyin also made a record, so it was very easy to explain.

Bi Maokang was also a smart man, he immediately saw the power of these two types of artillery.

Taking a deep breath, Bi Maokang exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this artillery is so powerful that if it were made, it would definitely be a great weapon on the battlefield!

"That's right, can you make this kind of artillery?"

Bi Maokang thought about it seriously, and then nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it is not difficult to make this kind of artillery, only the ignition time of the fuse and the gunpowder is a little more troublesome, it requires a lot of experiments, give Wei Chen three days, I will be able to produce a sample test shot.""

"Okay, okay!" Chongzhen laughed with satisfaction: "Aiqing has worked hard and made great achievements. If this mortar was created, you would be a great hero of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty has a great reputation, and the ministers are just getting into the essentials.

Bi Maokang waved his hand quickly, and he was moved to do so.

Chongzhen attaches great importance to the development of firearms, and as a generation of firearms masters, he also feels honored.

After explaining the most important matter, Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Wang Chengen and asked, "How are the disaster victims in Peiping City now?"

Wang Chengen smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the number of disaster victims in Peiping City has reached 400,000, and there are 100,000 disaster victims outside Peiping who have not been able to enter, and the number of disaster victims is increasing every day."

"So much?" Chongzhen's mood that had just risen suddenly fell back.

Hundreds of thousands of victims, one can imagine the extent of the current situation in Daming. There are so many victims in Peiping, and there must be more victims in Shanxi, Henan and other places.

Thinking of what Ye Yu said, tens of millions of people would die of starvation, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel worried.

"How about the rations of the victims? How long can they last (Li Wanghao) for a long time?"

Wang Chengen smiled bitterly and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the rations we purchased can only last for seven days at most. 39

"What, seven days?

Before Chongzhen could react, Li Yuanyin, who was standing beside him, suddenly exclaimed: "Wang Chengen, Your Majesty has allocated 5 million taels of silver to you for disaster relief. It will take at least two months, at most seven days. What? Could it be that you were greedy and not a grave?"

"General Li has misunderstood, and this old slave has to be brave." Wang Chengen smiled bitterly: "It's true that the price of food in Peiping City is too expensive. Even if you have five million taels of silver, you won't be able to buy much food. 35

Chongzhen frowned: "What's going on?"

Wang Chengen sighed: "Your Majesty, you asked the grain merchants in Beijing to lower the price of food a few days ago, but these people not only didn't listen, but also doubled the price of the food. One stone of food costs 50 taels of silver, it's really worth buying. Amazing!

"These bastards!" "When he heard this, Li Yuanyin's face changed instantly.

Chongzhen's face was also very dark.

These bastards, to be so disobedient to the command and to make a fortune in the country, are really impatient to live.

"Your Majesty, this minister is willing to lead Jinyiwei to clean up these bastards for my Ming Dynasty!" Li Yuanyin bowed his hands to Chongzhen, and a ferocious look flashed on his face: "If you steal their home, you will know the consequences of making the country difficult to make money."

Chongzhen was silent for a while and said, "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, let these people hang out first.
