Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Just think about it, if Jin Guo was imitated, would people still use people to climb ladders to attack the city?

What are the consequences of increasing the amount of gunpowder and placing it directly under the city of Tokyo for continuous bombing?

Could it be that Song Dynasty couldn't put gunpowder under the upper capital and bomb it?

sure!

But can the Song Army take the initiative in the Northern Expedition?

They are not even opponents in field battles, so they can only defend.

Therefore, the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties is not won if you come up with powerful gunpowder, and the overall military strength is not good, it is just to be used as a wedding dress.

The formula Zhao Ning gave to Chen Gui was not according to Betero's formula. He just asked Chen Gui to increase the proportion of the fire nitrate, and add it to about 65% to see the power.

In order to increase the power of gunpowder, before the overall military strength of the Song Dynasty is raised, it should not be too aggressive, and it will be thrown in the foot.

Zhao Ning said again: "The measurement of fire nitrate can be increased a little more."

Chen Gui said: "The officials and ministers think that the key reason may not only be fire."

"Oh?"

"Maybe there's too much stuff in the sulfur," said Stereo.

Zhao Ning looked at Chen Gui with a little surprise.

This guy deserves to be the big cow who invented the musket, and what he said really makes sense.

Chen Gui added: "The minister is still refining sulfur, and it may take many more attempts."

"Well, there is no rush for this matter, I mainly want to see the musket you mentioned to me."

"Officials, please."

The muskets mentioned by the stereotypes are not the muskets of later generations, let alone matchlocks and flintlocks.

There is still a big difference between the old-fashioned muskets that first appeared in Song history and the later arquebus guns.

Chen Gui took Zhao Ning to another place.

Someone else took out about six long bamboos.

Each root is about two feet long (about six meters).

There are three people holding bamboo, which has holes, filled with gunpowder, and added wires.

Then added a matchlock lead.

When the fuse was ignited, there was a slight explosion sound in the bamboo, and a ball of flame sprayed out from the mouth of the bamboo.

As soon as the flame came out, the three of them held the bamboo poles and swung them in coordination with each other, as if they were defending the city.

This is the earliest tubular firearm in the world.

It's primitive, but it's much more efficient than Zhentianlei.

Just think about throwing a thunderbolt down, it will explode with a loud explosion, and sometimes it may not hit anyone.

And this kind of "fire gun" can be used when the enemy is still on the ladder. Although it doesn't take long to use it at a time, as long as there is a flame, it can instantly make a siege soldier fall headfirst.

That kind of scene is like using gunpowder to roast ants climbing a wall.

People are afraid of fire, this is instinct.

After a while, the flame burned out.

Zhao Ning nodded in satisfaction, and then Chen Gui began to arrange again.

This time it was still a bamboo tube, but it was obviously thicker and shorter than the previous bamboo tube.

The length doesn't matter, the main thing is that it is thick enough.

Thick enough to have enough stuff in it to shoot stuff out.

There is a hole in the middle of the giant bamboo, and those people filled the hole with some ke, pressed the ke to the front, and then began to add gunpowder.

Finally put a kindling rope.

After igniting the kindling rope, there was a blast, and the nests inside poured out immediately, and all of them were shot on the opposite wall, leaving a large mark.

Zhao Ning was so surprised that he couldn't help clapping his hands.

This is the stud gun!

Seeing that Zhao Guan's family was satisfied, Chen Gui also heaved a sigh of relief.

Don't look at its crudeness, this thing is definitely epoch-making!

For the first time, human beings started to shoot bullets in a tubular shape, which was the prototype of later muskets.

Zhao Ning was very satisfied, and he said: "Is it okay to defend the city with this thing?"

Chen Gui said: "This thing is feasible for defending the city, and it can cause certain damage and interference to the enemy from a long distance, but the bamboo may not be used much."

"How about using iron?"

"Using iron?" Chen Gui was a little surprised.

I heard that Zhao Guanjia gave some blueprints to the military supervisor before, saying that what kind of artillery is also made of iron, and it has not been made until now.

Zhao Ning asked, "Can I use iron?"

Chen Gui thought for a while, and said: "It is possible to make a hollow iron rod, I can try again."

"Definitely!"

Zhao Ning didn't want to make matchlock guns, flintlock guns and the like right away, that would be unrealistic, but at least he could make iron tubular weapons to defend the city.

"Oh, by the way, official, these are the process records we made during this period, please have a look."

Zhao Ning took it over and read it carefully. Although he is not an engineering student, he can still understand this primitive manufacturing principle.

It seems that Gewuyuan has accumulated a lot of experience when making muskets and muskets.

Zhao Ning, who is weak in science, can see the problem at a glance.

Not that there is anything wrong with stereotypical logic.

The problem arises with weights and measures.

For example, the ratio of gunpowder, the filling of gunpowder, and the metering are not large.

The smallest unit of weight in ancient times was the baht, and one tael was equal to 24 baht.

But the question is, how to weigh a baht?

Or ten baht?

For example, if you want to put fifteen baht of gunpowder in, how do you put it?

None of these are standardized.

Without standardization, experimental results cannot be accurately recorded.

The experimental results that cannot be accurately recorded are tantamount to doing nothing.

Human science is knowledge accumulated from generation to generation.

Chapter 253 Huaixi Power? (Second more)

After coming out of Gewuyuan, Zhao Ning's brain was buzzing.

He did not return to the palace immediately, but walked outside for a while.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and there are no people on the street.

Zhao Ning really felt the pressure of technical progress brought about by basic standards.

He thought for a while, and decided to go back and use his limited brain to rewrite a weights and measures standard.

This standard of weights and measures does not need to be vigorously promoted. It can be used in Gewuyuan and some special manufacturing offices.

As a traveler, the weights and measures written are of course the ones of later generations, after all, they have been verified by human civilization for hundreds of years.

As they walked, a rather familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Officer Zhao."

Zhao Ning turned around and saw a beautiful and elegant figure standing in front of him, holding an oil-paper umbrella, reflected in the snow-white world, like a beautiful painting.

It was Qian Jinshu.

"Officer Zhao, it's such a coincidence that we met here."

Zhao Ning raised his head, only to realize that he had already reached Fan Lou.

"Yeah, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Did Officer Zhao come to Fanlou for tea?"

"Oh, yes." Zhao Ning replied casually.

"Officer Zhao, please."

"Miss Qian, please."

The two entered the fan building, found a private room and sat down, the stove was burning brightly, and the servant brought in some dried fruits.

"Little girl, I haven't thanked Officer Zhao for his help last time." Qian Jinshu said politely, "I owe Officer Zhao a big favor."

"It's okay." Zhao Ning smiled, "By the way, have you started preparations in Hangzhou?"

"Preparations have already begun."

"Do you have ships?"

Qian Jinshu said: "We have figured out a way to build it in Hangzhou."

Oh, Zhao Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this capable person is reliable in doing things, let him worry less.

"By the way, how did Officer Zhao know Wang Taiwei?"

Zhao Ning was slightly taken aback, and said, "Oh, we also have cooperation."

"I see."

Qian Jinshu didn't ask any further questions.

Not long after, another man came in suddenly.

This man was dressed in a dark blue long robe and sable fur, and was dressed in a dignified and elegant manner.

His eyes fell on Qian Jinshu: "Mistress Qian is really here."

"Officer Li."

"Miss Qian, I have something important to discuss with you."

Qian Jinshu said, "I'm afraid it's not very convenient now."

Li Qing glanced at Zhao Ning, who stood up and said, "If you have something important to do, I won't bother you."

Qian Jinshu quickly said: "Officer Zhao, it's okay, I actually have something important to ask you."

Li Qing frowned and said, "Then let's talk together?"

After speaking, he sat down and called the servant to add dried fruit and tea for him.

Without waiting for Zhao Ning and Qian Jinshu to speak, Li Qing said, "Miss Qian, I am here to invite you to join on behalf of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce."

"You just go to my elder brother. I'm a weak girl, so it's not suitable."

"Brother Qian is not in Tokyo, so I asked you to discuss."

Qian Jinshu said: "Then let's discuss it after he comes back."

It is well known that there is Wang Taiwei's platform behind the Qian brothers and sisters. Wang Taiwei is also in charge of the Taifu Temple Yamen. For a while, there are endless businessmen who want to cooperate with the Qian brothers and sisters.

When Zhao Ning heard about the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce, he seemed to have some impressions. He heard Wang Zonglin mentioned that it seemed to be established at the end of last year. He heard that the chairman was called Li Ji, and it was said that he was recommended by Cai Mao to support him.

This Li Ji was originally a Huaixi businessman. Last year, Zhao Ning killed Zhou Yan, who was secretly manipulating the grain price. Li Ji did not know how, but he even met Cai Mao when he arrived in Tokyo.

The Tokyo Chamber of Commerce was established.

Li Qing said: "Miss Qian, I'm looking for you for another matter."

"What's the matter?"

Li Qing said, "Have you heard of soap?"
