Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 335
Zi once said: "The plan for a year lies in spring!"

Zi once said: "Life lies in movement, life lies in tossing, life and death depends on whether you toss around blindly!"

According to the teachings of the sages (that is, my younger brother, me), the new year is here, and it is time to start tossing, no matter whether it is a country or an individual, it cannot be exempted.The center of the empire started to toss early, put down the Denglai rebellion, wiped out the bandits, and was extremely busy.In the matter of exterminating the rogues, fierce men like Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao were arresting the rogues, driving them away. Now the rogues in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia have almost been wiped out, but Shanxi has become the hardest hit area, with hundreds of thousands The rogues took Shanxi as their base and launched counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns again and again, killing the officers and soldiers so much that blood flowed like rivers, and the governor of Shanxi complained endlessly!As for the Denglai rebellion, on the one hand, the imperial court hoped to put it down as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it hoped to be able to fight without bloodshed. Up to now, it is still vacillating between suppression and appeasement.

Yang Menglong also started to mess around. He assigned tasks to the craftsmen early.The craftsmen came up with a plan to develop a 350-step powerful crossbow, but he rejected it. Guns replacing crossbows was a historical trend. Going against the trend would not yield good results. He knew this better than anyone else.Yang Menglong couldn't stand the extremely poor accuracy and range of current muskets and artillery, as well as the extremely slow rate of fire, so he threw away the garbage and re-equipped the crossbow. If the effective range of the muskets could reach 100 meters, It can fire three rounds of bullets in one minute. Only a ghost can use a crossbow!

He also killed a gun truck built by a dear friend.The gun carriage was originally the product of his brainstorming. Forty gun barrels were installed on a chariot and arranged in order. When approaching the enemy, multiple gun carriages opened fire at the same time. The firepower was dense and very spectacular. However, after fully understanding the After discovering the difficulty of drilling the gun barrel, Yang Menglong's interest in this thing was greatly reduced. Forget it, if he had the time, he might as well make a few more electric guns!
Cannon-building plan... Kill without mercy!Ghosts are rare for that deadly heavy copper lump with an effective range of only 300 meters!

"Your task now is to find a way to get me a gun barrel with a large enough caliber, without any gaps, and that can withstand a certain pressure test." Yang Menglong set up a gun research group, artillery gun barrel based on the expertise of the craftsmen. Research team, bullet research team, artillery shell research team, rocket launcher research team, landmine research team... Now he is giving orders to the artillery research team, "The caliber of this gun barrel must be large, it can be three inches or four inches , you can choose the easiest to complete according to your own ability. Its weight should not be too large, it must be controlled within [-] catties, it is meaningless if it is too heavy, and it must be able to withstand high temperatures and withstand the continuous launch. The test brought by the high temperature must not swell, otherwise it will kill people!"

The leader of the artillery research team was dumbfounded: "The caliber is three inches or four inches, but the weight must be controlled within one hundred catties. This...how can we do this?"

Yang Menglong said: "Do whatever you want, I know this is not a task that can be completed in a short period of time, I will give you sufficient funds, and at the same time send some master metallurgists to cooperate with your research, you can try each method one by one, how? Make it as light as possible and as strong as possible, just give it to me within ten years!"

The team leader smiled wryly: "Ten years? I don't think it will be possible to do it in 20 years!"

Yang Menglong said: "If you can't make it, you will get peanuts!"

The team leader trembled all over, and suddenly his fighting spirit was high and he was full of confidence. Without saying a word, he immediately organized people to start research according to Yang Menglong's deceptive request...

Then it was the bazooka research team's turn to be unlucky:
"Your task is to make this rocket for me first." Yang Erhuo pointed to the blueprint and said solemnly.

The rocket launcher research team is very powerful. There are more than a dozen craftsmen who have participated in the design and modification of rockets. Rockets are very familiar to them.But when they saw the rocket graphics drawn by Yang Menglong with charcoal, they were all dumbfounded: A major feature of this thing is that it is thick and long... Compared with the rockets they are familiar with, each of them is one meter long. The cylinder has a conical warhead, and there are four fins on the waist and tail, which may play the same role as arrow feathers.The most amazing thing is that its gunpowder is not tied on, but is loaded directly inside the projectile body. There is a nozzle at the tail, which seems to be used for the high-temperature gas generated when the gunpowder burns to erupt.Everyone looked at each other, is this thing a rocket?What the hell kind of rocket is this!
Yang Menglong didn't care what they thought, he just gave orders: "This projectile body must be made of metal, as light and thin as possible, but also strong. There are two layers in the projectile body, one layer is filled with propellant, and the other is filled with high-explosive explosives." Charge——load no less than two catties of gunpowder in the warhead, and the explosion must be sufficient to shatter the entire body and produce enough shrapnel to kill the enemy... Well, have you seen these fins? Stabilization, to ensure that the shells can hit the target accurately. As for the range... If I set the standard too high, it may be a bit embarrassing for you, so let's set the range at six miles and the effective range at two miles!"

The group leader spat out a mouthful of old blood, and looked at Yang Menglong with grief and indignation, your standards are not high, are you?It's all fucking zenith stars, okay!
It seemed that he had lowered the difficulty too low and underestimated the suspicion of these masters. Yang Menglong was also embarrassed, and quickly added a task: "By the way, there must be guns if there are bombs. You not only need to get the rockets out, I have to imitate the tigers rushing to the arrows and get the gun carriage out for me... Actually, it is not difficult, it is nothing more than connecting multiple launch tubes together and installing it on the carriage, it will not be difficult for you!"

The team leader's eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground, announcing his glorious death.

In fact, the Congrev rocket that became popular on the battlefield only 200 years ago did not need to be mounted on a vehicle. It was just a cheap launcher. Fix the rocket on the launcher and ignite it, and the rocket will fly out with a whoosh. ...As for where you will fly, it all depends on your character.Yang Menglong said that I either don’t want to play, or if I want to play, I will play Gundam. Who has the patience to play Zhaji?Multiple rocket launchers are a must--although this gunpowder can only be fired with gunpowder.When a large number of multiple rocket launchers appeared in the seventeenth century, the scene was a bit too frightening, but this was exactly what this idiot was pursuing. As for whether the craftsmen could come up with it, that was not his concern. Something happened.

The leader of the musket research team was sweating thinly and densely on his forehead. My mother, this bastard will either not toss, but once he starts to toss, it will be shocking!Originally, he wondered why this guy suddenly changed his gender, so he rushed to Jiangying to set up so many research groups, and also increased the salary of each group leader. It turned out that he had prepared a difficult task for them, and the difficulty was still hell Class!He backed away quietly, so as not to attract Yang Menglong's attention, but Yang Menglong had already set his sights on him, wanting to run?It's not that easy!

"Well, Master Ye, it's been half a year since you came here from the capital. Are you still used to staying here?" Yang Menglong's smile was very amiable, his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon shape, revealing four big white teeth.

There were more beads of sweat on the forehead of Ye Xin, a master gun designer, and he cupped his hands again and again, saying, "Get used to it, get used to it!"

Yang Menglong smiled like a pistachio: "Are you satisfied with the salary I give you and your disciples?"

Ye Xin could only smile wryly now: "My lord not only gave me an annual salary of 100 taels of silver, but also bought me a small building and [-] acres of fertile land, so that my family can live comfortably. If I am not satisfied, then It's just heartless."

Yang Menglong patted his chest: "It's fine if you are satisfied. I was really afraid that you would be dissatisfied, so I ran away in a fit of anger! Our Wuyang Guards don't have much firearm equipment, and you spend all day drilling the barrels and assembling electric guns. Are you tired? Do you want to do some challenging tasks?"

Everyone looked at Ye Xin with sympathy, and their thoughts were written on their faces: "You are in terrible shape this time!" Ye Xin clearly felt a chill, and his two penises were trembling, but he couldn't help but eat him. Short, he took someone's hand softly, and it was really unreasonable for him not to do something to help others, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "General, do you want to make a better fire blunderbuss? Just speak up, Lu Mi blunderbuss" , turtle-dove gun, eagle-billed gun... As long as the general opens his mouth, I can help you make it!"

Yang Menglong waved his hand and said, "If it's just to build these guns, why should I set up this research group? To tell you the truth, what I want to build is a musket that can be loaded from the back and doesn't need a matchlock to ignite!"

Ye Xin fainted as soon as he opened his mouth: "Reload from the back? How does this firecracker reload from the back?"

Yang Menglong said: "Just build a magazine at the back and put the lead bullets in it. As for how to get the magazine, you can figure out how to do it yourself. Well, the lead bullets fired by this musket are also different from other muskets. It has A metal shell, the bullet and the propellant are installed together, there is a primer at the bottom of the bullet, the trigger is pulled, the firing pin hits the primer, the propellant is detonated, the bullet shoots out at high speed, and kills the target... By the way, don’t forget to find a way to engrave it. Rifled, without a rifled bullet is inaccurate at all!"

This bastard pointed at his messy blueprints and spoke with spit and high spirits. He didn't notice at all that Master Ye, whom he had placed high hopes on, had fallen into a semi-comatose state... Everyone listened and looked at Master Ye stupidly. His eyes were full of sympathy.Rear loading, rifling, metal cased bullets, integral ammunition, primer... oh my god, what a monster!The unlucky group leader assigned to the rocket launcher development task muttered to himself: "My mother, I thought my task was difficult enough, but it turned out that Master Ye's is even more difficult! No, it is simply impossible to complete." task!"

This is definitely the voice of everyone!
