The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

146 Northern Defense

While Naofumi was sketching a new combat vest, a young man walked in.In his hand is a gun barrel.

"Young Zhang Yuan, I have met you." The young man saluted first.

"You don't have to be restrained, just sit where you want." Shang Wen greeted.

"Thank you, sir." The young man said somewhat restrainedly.

"What's the matter. Tell me." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"It's such an adult. I have developed a gun barrel. I don't know if you can do it. Let's take a look." He said and put his hands up.

"Oh." Shangwen took it with both hands.

"You made this." Shang Wen took a look at the shape first, and it was no different from a normal gun barrel.

Shangwen then took another look.It even has rifling.It looks rough.Especially at the muzzle, there are many countless scratches. Obviously, something like a blade was used to cut from the muzzle.Then it is formed.Moreover, there are four riflings.But the distance from each other is very irregular, specifically the two sets of rifling are irregular.

Shangwen suddenly guessed what was going on.

"Very good!" Shangwen said encouragingly.

"You did a good job. As long as you make the rifling more regular, everything will be fine." Shang Wen pointed out.

"Really." Zhang Yuan said excitedly.

"Well, what's more, I plan to put you in charge and rifle all the barrels. How about it?" Shang Wen said with a smile.

"All of them?" Zhang Yuan asked uncertainly.

"Yes. All of them. All the guns in Daqin are rifled." Shang Wen said.

"This??????" Zhang Yuan hesitated.

"It's okay, take your time, don't worry. You have to dare to try before you can innovate. Go to the cashier to get hardware. Reward with money." Shang Wen patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and said.

"Here." Zhang Yuan said with determination.

"By the way, my lord, I also made a kind of projectile, my lord, please take a look." He said, and took out a kind of conical projectile.A tapered bullet that looks the same as the bullets used by most smoothbore and rifled guns in the future.

"En. This kind of projectile can be mass-produced." Naofumi said directly, looking at the projectile.Because this kind of projectile is more suitable for use on smoothbore guns.Also suitable for rifled guns.

"You go and inform Mr. Chen. Let him mass-produce the projectiles like you." Shangwen said.

"Here." Zhang Yuan left happily.

After Zhang Yuan left, Shang Wen carefully checked the barrel and bullets.If someone starts to explore, then encourage them to explore.

See very rough barrel rifling.Shang Wen felt that it was time to start the major subject of chemistry.After all, the barrel needs a large amount of copper sulfate solution to complete one of the processes.If you use others, you will take many detours.And then there's gunpowder.Although now there is granular gunpowder.But the firing method of the musket is still flintlock.The environmental requirements are still high.

The generation of flash cap just can solve this problem.

Next, Shang Wen will start a major subject.All previous work needs to be further improved.

In Xianyang Palace.King Qin is still busy.

The first is the return of Wang Jian Mengtian's army.The army escorted a large number of prisoners of war, and it has already entered autumn, and it is impossible to start construction of roads on a large scale.How are these people arranged.

The number of Hu people is very large.Tens of thousands of people are required to escort nearly 100 million people, and the possibility of riots is very high.And the problem of food, if there is no food.Then the chances of riots will be greatly increased.

Li Si first said: "Your Majesty, I think that a large part of it should be dealt with nearby."

"From the interior to the north, we need to consume a certain amount of food and grass. And we need to provide for the army to garrison. Add 100 million Huns and a different number of Huns. Then our food and grass needs will be greatly exhausted."

"In this way, my Daqin is consuming the power of the whole country, so we should arrange a group of them near the iron factory and stone coal." This can reduce the pressure on the iron factory.The rest should be mostly transferred to the south, close to the inland.to reduce the burden on the food supply".

This is Li Si's opinion.

"My minister disagrees. It is really inappropriate to move a large number of Huns and Hus inland." Feng Quji said loudly.

"Yes. I also think that this move is inappropriate. If a large number of Huns and Huns move inland, it will have too much impact on the foundation of Great Qin. This move is a bit risky. And the northern nomads have always been rebellious. Such rebelliousness If a large number of people relocate to the interior, then it will definitely become a hidden danger for our Great Qin. When our Great Qin goes east, the rear will inevitably be unstable. Think twice about my king." Wei Liao said.Wei Liao's point of view is more from a military point of view.Such a large group of people suddenly migrated in.Impossible to resolve in a short time.If the main force of the Qin army were to go east, it would be impossible to suppress such a large force in time.

"Well, Mr. Wei Liao is right." Qin Wang nodded and said.

"However, not all that the prime minister said is worthless." King Qin continued.

"For example, to dispose of some people nearby, Daqin's arsenal is now making muskets, most of which are made of iron from Guyang, and the coal also needs to be dug. It is impossible for Daqin to remove these manpower from the interior. It can only be solved nearby. " Qin Wang said.

"Your Majesty, it's not as good as this. You can call, but you must use Hu people. You can use Huns who are not familiar with the terrain and are not easy to resist. For the Huns, you should call south in small batches, 1 people at a time. Go south Build the road." Wei Liao said.

"This method is feasible." King Qin said.

"Well. The south is indeed, especially the road leading to Bashu. It is extremely rugged and obvious. It is also mountainous, and the Huns will not adapt to it for the time being. The number of people is easy to manage. In this way, my Daqin can build the road leading to Bashu. The grain of Bashu It can go directly to the north. Or to the outside of the pass." Feng Quji said.

"Well, let's do it this way. Specifically, let the prime minister do it." Qin Wang made a decision.

"Wang Jian's army wants to transfer [-] cavalry back to Lantian. Meng Tian will be the general and will take over all military affairs in the north. What do you think?" King Qin asked.

"I have no objection." Li Si said first.

"I believe that part of the infantry should be transferred northward," Wei Liao said.

"Oh." King Qin thought for a while.Wang Jian transferred back all cavalry.During the winter, Meng Tian was mostly cavalry.The defensive effect is not obvious.Adjusting the pace of the army to go north is actually a price defense.

"Well. That's it."

"Return [-], and make up [-]." King Qin said.

"Then which one to call is good." King Qin asked.

"I suggest using the newly formed musketeers," Wei Liao said.

147 Yan Jun Counterattack

"The number of Musketeers is very limited." Li Si was very clear about the number of Musketeers.

"Daqin currently manufactures 120 to 150 muskets per day. Moreover, Daqin has only [-] musketeers equipped with muskets, which is even less than the total number of muskets equipped by the state of Yan. Moreover, the number of muskets currently equipped is also very large. There are only ten cannons." Li Si said slowly.

"That's why. It's even more necessary to call." Wei Liao said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Mr. Qin is awake. Mr. Qin is awake." Zhao Gao shouted loudly in disregard of court etiquette.

"What?" King Qin said happily.

"Let's go and have a look." King Qin immediately stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Qin is awake." Zhao Gao said out of breath.
