Great Song Pirate

Chapter 462 The Divine Mighty Cannon
And what Xu Yi didn't want to see was that because of himself, he helped the Jin people a lot, making the defense force in the north of the Song Dynasty, which was not very strong, even weaker because of his affairs. , and if it doesn’t work out, if he makes such a fuss, it may rekindle the riots in various parts of the Song Dynasty, making the precarious Song Dynasty even more violent, and making the Song Dynasty court unable to extinguish it. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be the Southern Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin confronting each other across the river. If it fails, the Great Song Dynasty may be wiped out by the Jin people in one fell swoop, and the Han compatriots will be the victims in the end.
So he didn't want to cause any more trouble for the Song court at this juncture. Although he was capable of beating the golden man from the sea at this time, Xu Yi couldn't figure out why he didn't want to do it. At that time, if he launches a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Jin from the Bohai Bay and the Liaodong Peninsula, it will definitely disrupt the subordinates of the Jin people, which may change the course of history. Maybe there is no need to step down and give way to Zhao Heng, but if he really does that, Xu Yi himself can't guarantee what kind of decision he can make with Huizong's old man's disposition. If I protest to him again, the old guy will still use the army to stab me in the back. Now I just beat Annan Li Chao, who has nothing to do with Da Song, so the old guy just sent people Looking for troubles for himself along the coast, there is no guarantee that this old bastard will really accuse himself of being a treacherous man and steal his own way, in that case he will lose a lot of money!
Although Xu Yi thought about it for a while, when he thought of his unfulfilling father-in-law, he finally gave up his plan to repair the Kingdom of Jin in advance. Xu Yi didn't want to think about this problem. They didn't want to use their own strength to help the old man eliminate the threat from the north in advance. Now he just wants to help, and solve his own troubles first.

Therefore, after continuously mobilizing Kong Qingxi, Wang Feng, Diao Bin, and Miao Fang, he immediately sent a clipper to Koryo at the fastest speed, and ordered Fang Shu, who was active there, to immediately gather his fleet and lead His elite ships went to the coastal area of ​​the Japanese country and began to harass them. Even if he could not send troops to counterattack immediately, he would never let the Japanese people calm down. Xu Yi also ordered Fang Shu to clean up the Japanese subordinates in his fleet, and anyone who was unreliable would immediately secret Executed, claiming to be transferred to participate in training, so as to avoid repeating the mistakes of water cats.

After dealing with these matters, Xu Yi began to patrol the Jilong Village.

Accompanied by Qin Huzi, Lei Tong and others, he first inspected the iron work. In half a year, the scale of the iron work has expanded compared to when he left last time, and the number of craftsmen has increased by nearly half. Moreover, the division of labor is more refined, and the whole iron work is full of lively scenes.

Each workshop is engaged in the production of a special weapon or utensil, without any interference with each other. Special personnel are dedicated to each process, and the efficiency has been greatly improved compared to before. It seems that the assembly line operation he proposed The method has not only been popularized and used in the bow and crossbow workshop and the garment workshop, but also has been well promoted in the iron workshop. This will undoubtedly be a huge impetus to their industrial development. Xu Yi is naturally happy to see it It's done.

Driven by a huge water wheel, the home-made steel rolling machine he invented rumbled non-stop, rolling the smelted crude steel into the required steel plates, and then sent them to various workshops for further processing. Processing, this kind of scene made Xu Yi almost feel in a trance, as if he had returned to the modern factory of later generations. If he hadn't seen the clothes of the craftsmen here, he really didn't know what era it was.

Seeing the excellent weapons being transported out of each shed like water, and then sent to the warehouse for storage, Xu Yi had to take out a few to see, and the result was satisfactory to him. Compared with their previous The weapons produced are more refined, and the quality is definitely superior. Compared with the swords in the hands of the Song army they saw on land before, the swords produced here are much better.

On a whim, Xu Yi first picked up an ordinary hand knife produced here, (the hand knife is a short-handled knife commonly used in the army of the Song Dynasty, which is quite different from the traditional shape since the Han and Tang Dynasties. It has a wider head, thick ridge and thin blade, strong and powerful, and is more conducive to chopping than the straight-edged steel knife of the previous generation) Then he drew out his own wolf-breaking sword and slashed at this knife with all his strength, only to hear a burst of golden sword After the sound, there was only a small gap in the knife in this hand, and there was not much damage, so I knew that the knife was quite tough, so I praised Qin Huzi and Lei Tong a lot, and let the two The face is quite radiant.

Seeing that the iron work was running very well, Xu Yi then rushed to the copper work, which is said to be a copper work, but in fact, it should basically be renamed the artillery factory now. In addition to casting cannons, it is only responsible for casting some vehicles. Accessories or some other things are completely based on casting cannons.

Copper ore is piled up like a mountain in the large material yard of copper production. A group of craftsmen keep adding copper ore and other raw materials to a huge smelting furnace for smelting. Copper water flows out continuously from the outlet and is poured into the mold. Among them, copper ingots were cast, then transported to furnaces in other workshops, and then refined into refined copper, and finally tin was added in proportion to cast into copper cannons.

It turned out that one work shed here was expanded into three work sheds, in which casting was carried out at the same time, and iron molds for casting cannons were added to form continuous casting. After each bronze cannon was cast, it was transported to other work sheds for grinding, Boring, polishing, everything is carried out in an orderly manner, and the coppersmiths here are already familiar with the various operations, the output is of course much higher than before, and the defective rate has also dropped significantly.

In a work shed, Xu Yi saw the new cannons of different shapes that Ren Bin mentioned. He was overjoyed and hurried forward to watch. He first came to the biggest bronze cannon. The copper cannon produced has almost doubled in length, and the cannon body is much thicker. The overall casting level is definitely not lower than that of the copper cannon cast in the past. Xu Yi lowered his head and lay down at the muzzle to watch carefully, and compared it with his hands. It can be roughly known that the caliber of this gun is at least about [-] centimeters, and the body-to-tube ratio is about [-] times. With the tail of the gun, it is about [-] meters. It looks quite powerful and abnormal.

"This cannon is the biggest cannon ever made by Humble Worker. The bore of this gun is four inches, and the cannon weighs [-] jin. Humble Staff used this cannon for trial firing, and the iron bullets fired can reach more than eight li. If it is loaded with shotgun, It can even load as many as a thousand grains of iron. After the cannon fires, almost humans and animals will not be spared about a hundred steps away from the front. The Leigong Cannon we made in the past took a lot more time, it was difficult to operate the cannon, and it was far less easy to fix the cannon than the previous Leigong Cannon. Power, considering the cost of this cannon, so I didn't dare to make more of it without authorization, I only cast one of this cannon, and I just waited for the master to see it and make a decision. If the master is satisfied, I have already cast a pair of iron models. You can start to continue casting, and within a month, you can get at least five of this gun! But considering that this gun is too heavy, the infantry may not be able to use it! At most, it will be used on ships. I don’t know what the master thinks about the gun Are you satisfied?" Ren Bin reported to Xu Yi cautiously.

Xu Yi patted the current giant cannon, nodded and said: "This cannon is a good thing, but it is indeed too heavy, and it is really not easy to load. In addition, after this cannon is fired, it may be even more difficult to reset it. One thing is that in terms of our current ships, if we don't strengthen them significantly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand the huge force of this cannon when it fires. The bow deck can still bear the weight of such guns. If we have enough copper and tin, you might as well just cast more. Although this gun is inconvenient, you can also install a few on my Crossbar, but such guns The most suitable is to use it on land, but it is not for the infantry to drag and run, but to place it on the fortress and use it permanently. I am afraid that few people can easily break through the pass guarded by this gun! But at present we We don’t even think about equipping us with such giant cannons. Let’s talk about it later when we have more financial resources! I think so! You just have to cast it! But don’t cast too much right now!” Although Xu Yi likes this kind of Giant cannons, but considering that their financial resources are still limited at present, he must use limited resources to cast as many more practical and lighter cannons as possible. Anyway, even the Thunder Cannon they used before is already the world Wushuang, but he still asked Ren Bin to cast a few doors, so that his crossword would be more powerful.

After hearing that Xu Yi agreed with him to continue casting, Ren Bin was also overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and agreed: "If the lord agrees, I will immediately order people to continue casting some, and then put them on the lord's crossbar, but this cannon is different from the previous ones." The Leigong cannons made are very different, should they still be called Leigong cannons?"

Xu Yi patted the cannon, thought for a while, and immediately replied: "It's good to name this cannon the Shenwei Cannon!"

(It’s time to farm after the war. I wanted to take a break, but my brother actually voted 1 renewal votes on the [-] words. I really don’t want Liao to rest! If this is the case, please help, the monthly pass is reserved for Me, I'll try to see if I can make four changes today, let's break out! I want a monthly pass!)
