Iron Dynasty

　　 "Fire tube? What is this?"

　　 Pang Yukun showed a puzzled look. He was a civilian and lacked understanding of weapons in the army, so he asked.

　　 This fire tube is the native name of the artillery in the country of Da Yu, because the original artillery shapes were all odd and strange, of which the barrel was the most, so it was called the fire tube in the country of Da Yu.

　　 In the world before Xiao Ming, the fire tube was also called fire gun.

　　 At that time, the application of fire guns began in the Song Dynasty. By the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the application of fire tubes had matured. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army had already equipped a large number of firearms.

　　 But even if equipped with firearms more advanced than the Qing army, the Ming Dynasty still embarked on the road of destruction.

　　 So Xiao Ming is not about weapons supremacy, because it is people who use weapons, and talent is the decisive factor in war.

　　 Since this period of time, Xiao Ming has deeply felt that the real core of rule is to allow the people of the fief to gather around him. Once the order is issued, all people will obey it. This is the fundamental.

　　 Of course, under this premise, and equipped with more advanced weapons, such an army can do no harm.

　　 "Well, Pang Changshi will soon know what it is?" Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

　　 Then he said, "But the name of this barrel is too soil, so it's better to call it artillery."

　　 "Artillery." Zhan Xingchang was startled, "This name is pretty loud."

　　 Zhan Xingchang proposed artillery defense, naturally because of some understanding of artillery, Xiao Ming then asked: "Since Zhan Sima mentioned artillery, does he know how to cast artillery?"

"This subordinate official doesn't understand it, but the subordinate official has seen the power of the fire tube. No, the power of the artillery, one shot can shoot out about three hundred meters, if you put stone pills in it, you can have a wide range. Hurt the enemy." Zhan Xingchang said.

　　 Pang Yukun laughed dumbfounded when he heard the words, and said: "After talking for a long time, you don't know how to make artillery, so how good is it?"

　　 Zhan Xingchang suddenly showed embarrassment, but he forgot that this place is not Chang'an.

　　 "Zhan Sima doesn't know, but this king knows." Xiao Ming smiled lightly. He just wanted to know if the artillery manufacturing of Dayu was the same as he did at that time.

　　 Since Zhan Xingchang didn't know, he didn't bother to ask.

　　 "Your Highness knows?" Pang Yukun and Zhan Xingchang both showed surprised expressions.

　　 Xiao Ming nodded, "Without a killer, how dare this king defend Cangzhou without embarrassment!"

　　 Zhan Xingchang showed a look of excitement, "If hundreds of artillery are placed on the gate of Cangzhou City, plus proper command, Cangzhou City will be safe and sound."

　　 Xiao Ming showed a wry smile. Hundreds of artillery pieces are easy to say, but how difficult it is. This artillery piece is not a plate armor. This thing often costs several tons.

　　 After all, when the materials do not meet the requirements, the only way to thicken and thicken the barrel can reduce the explosion.

　　 Although the steel industry in Qingzhou has reached a level now, casting artillery is still a difficult technical task. The production of artillery is primarily a matter of materials.

　　 The artillery he is going to produce this time will naturally not be compared with that of the current stage of the country. This kind of artillery with a range of 300 meters that makes Zhan Xingchang exclaimed can only be said to be rubbish.

　　Before he could not confirm the technological level of the Western, Japanese, and Barbarians, he could only use his knowledge to improve the performance of the artillery produced this time.

　　 But even so, according to his estimation, it can only reach the level of the late Ming Dynasty at best, and its performance is equivalent to the level of the red cannon.

　　 There are a variety of artillery manufacturing methods in the science and technology library, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, because further artillery materials and boring machine cutting technology are not available in Qingzhou, and a process of exploration is needed.

　　 If red cannons are produced now, whether it is a bronze or iron cannon, at this stage, the production of artillery can only be done by casting, and the casting method requires a cannon mold.

　　 This thing is not easier to produce than a cannon.

　　 "Hundreds of guns? By then, there will be ten artillery, this king is already satisfied." Xiao Ming sighed.

　　 The casting of this artillery was made from scratch. Everything is difficult to begin with. It is estimated that this test phase will take several months.

　　 And the artillery also needs to be manned. The training of the artillery is also a problem.

　　 Zhan Xingchang did not refute Xiao Ming. He also knew that it was very difficult even for the Chang'an Equipment Department to produce this artillery, let alone Qingzhou.

　　 Without mentioning the artillery, Xiao Ming replied: "You don't understand this artillery. Do you know how to build a fortress?"

　　 "This subordinate is a little better." Zhan Xingchang believes.

Xiao Ming nodded. The ancient scholars were very humble. Generally speaking, he was proficient. He said: "Well, you go to Cangzhou City during this period of time, and make a site survey. How will Cangzhou be transformed when you come back? The method of city defense is presented."

　　Expanding Prosperity Not far away, I came to Qingzhou naturally to show my ambitions and to apply what I learned. Now is the opportunity to perform in front of Xiao Ming. He said sternly: "Yes, Your Highness."

Pang Yukun nodded slightly and said to Xiao Ming: "Yes, your majesty, the subordinates have also handed over the handling of the remnants of the rich family to Zhan Xingchang, so many things are enough for him~www.ltnovel.com~ Really? It seems that Pang Changshi attaches great importance to you and talks about how you plan to deal with the remnants of this tycoon." Zhan Xingchang's age is about the same as Xiao Ming's age in modern times. Generally speaking, the mental age of the two is the same.

　　 Facing the old elm bumps like Pang Yukun, he would rather get along with people of Zhan Xingchang's age.

"His Majesty, Qingzhou is waiting to be thriving. A big fight will inevitably injure a thousand enemies and hurt itself 800. The beginning of this tyrant was that the same surname relied on a large number of people, and it gradually developed into a situation where the end is still big. Therefore, to deal with the remnants of these tyrants, The lower official thought that the chief of the case was naturally to be killed as a warning, the second time was assigned as a slave, and there were thousands of people with the same surname, tens of thousands of people, these people should not die, should not be too persecuted, should not be divided into exile In other states, in this way, the local climate can no longer be formed." Zhan Xingchang said.

"Well, you are right. The Sun clan has a branch of the main line. There are tens of thousands of people, large and small. Sun Yuanzhi is dead. These people can no longer live in Qingzhou. They are divided into parts and these people are allocated to other states. In the county, in this way, the big clans have become small clans, and the small clans have become ordinary people, and they don’t interact with each other.

　　 After a few simple words, Xiao Ming left the Dudu’s Mansion. This exhibition left a good impression on him, but whether it was a mule or a horse, he had to pull it out for a stroll.

　　 And the most important thing for him now is to figure out how to emptied the artillery in the shortest possible time.
