Iron Dynasty

"Heavy musket?"

Song Changping was a little surprised when he learned the name of this musket.

Chen Qi stared at the map on the ground for a while, and said, "The emperor, isn't this just a bigger musket? And this musket looks very bulky, it's not as good as using it."

Hearing this, Xiao Ming explained: "This type of heavy flintlock has a long range and great power, and it can shoot a lot of projectiles at one time. It can even penetrate the armor of the cavalry directly from two or three hundred meters away. The range and power of the artillery are of course. It is very large, but the disadvantage is that it is bulky and expensive. This type of heavy-duty shotgun is easy to produce and can be operated by two people. The effect of using it in a car array will be better."

The two nodded, and now they understood that Xiao Ming's purpose for making this heavy musket was for car array defense.

After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: "If you want to defeat the barbarians, you must go deep into the grassland. Using a heavy musket to match the car array will have an unexpected effect. At the same time, in order to match this heavy musket, you need to modify the tank. ."

"I hope the emperor will make it clear."

Xiao Ming drew on the ground again at this time. The cavalry came to an end with the appearance of modern tanks and machine guns. Now he obviously can't make modern tanks and machine guns, but he can make heavy muskets and armored chariots. "

The transformation of this tank is mainly focused on two aspects. One is to increase the shooting hole of the heavy musket on the tank, and the other is to increase the blade stab on the outer armor, the main purpose is to prevent the barbarian slave soldiers from climbing.

After defeating the barbarians with the car array in Jizhou, he believed that the barbarians must also be looking for a way to crack the car array.

For the barbarians, the simplest and rude way is to use the lives of the barbarian slave soldiers.

To say that the population of the barbarian is only four or five million, but the barbarian has always liked to keep slaves, and this slave soldier is also an existence that cannot be ignored.

Because of this, he considered focusing on building an armored car array during the next period of time. This kind of tank is equivalent to a mobile bastion on the grassland, and a heavy musket can be loaded with dozens of normal muskets at once. Projectiles have the same effect as shotguns. The combination of the two and the coordination of the musketeers and cavalry in the car array make this a heavily guarded fortress.

After sharing their thoughts with the two, the two agreed to the matter.

Song Changping sighed and said: "The emperor is ambitious, and the lower officials are admired. It's just that the border troubles of the northern grasslands in the past dynasties have never stopped. After driving away this grassland tribe, another tribe will become stronger after a few decades, and so on."

During this period, Song Chang usually went to the Bowen Academy to read books. In addition to the manufacture of this firearm, he also read some history books, and he couldn't help feeling a little for a while.

Chen Qi didn’t know anything except artillery technology, but Song Changping said that he was a little worried, "The emperor, Song Changping’s words are somewhat reasonable, but no one wants to settle in this bitter cold place in the north. The barbarians are willing to go."

Xiao Ming frowned when he heard the words. Chen Qi's words were exactly what he had a headache now. The barbarians were different from the feudal lords Zhao and Yan.

The vassals relied on collecting taxes from their own feudal countries to build up their armies, so losing the feudal country would mean nothing.

But the barbarians are different. This is a half-herd and half-farming group, and its strategy is expansion and plunder. It can be said that the barbarians have already been on the path of colonization, but they are different from Western overseas colonization. The barbarians have always been on the Eurasian continent. Engage in **** colonization.

This kind of barbarian cunning rabbit three caves, even if he destroys the barbarian tribes near Changbai Mountain, the remaining barbarian tribes can still migrate into the vast grassland, waiting for this land to reappear in a power vacuum.

But this is intolerable to Xiao Ming, because his goal is to solve the northern problem once and for all.

Otherwise, he will suffer the enemy back and forth, and he will not be able to concentrate on fighting overseas for colonies with Western powers.

Standing up and pacing back and forth, Xiao Ming said: "I already have an idea, and I won't give the barbarians a chance to breathe."

Song Changping scratched his head. This was not his responsibility, so he said: "The emperor, the lower officials just said casually. For the lower officials, trying their best to produce firearms is equivalent to hitting the barbarians."

"That's not bad. It is enough for you to provide firearms with quality and quantity for the army." Xiao Ming smiled, and suddenly he remembered something, so he asked: "Right, I will let you study with Lu Tong. How's your flash hider."

When the matter was mentioned, the expressions of the two became excited. Chen Qi said: "We and Lu Tong have experimented in the laboratory three times and we have achieved some preliminary results. Simply put, we can replace flint with flash hats."

"That's good, you have to make the flash hider as soon as possible." Xiao Ming nodded. He and Lu Tong have studied the manufacture of this flash hider many times. Because of this, the research on this flash hider will be like this. smoothly.

Song Changping said at this time: "The emperor, the development of the flash hider is now seven or eighty-eight. The next official is preparing to produce the flash hider-style musket. This kind of musket uses only flash hider and paper shell bullets, and a flash hider is installed for every shot , Eliminating the need to pour the gunpowder into the medicine pond with the flintlock.

Xiao Ming was not surprised by Song Changping's words. For him, with the current industrial capabilities of Qingzhou, he could only develop the musket to the level of flash hat type rear-loading.

As for the metal fixed-load bullet, it is the product after the production leap again after the Western power revolution. Now it is too expensive to produce~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The huge bullet consumption will make him unable to bear it. After all, this bullet is a copper shell. According to his estimate, the cost of such a metal fixed-load ammunition is about two taels of silver.

Therefore, under consideration, he can only work on the flash hat firing gun before the power revolution.

After all, the flintlock gun has improved the reliability and rate of firing compared with the flintlock gun, and overcomes the unreliable firing rate of the flintlock gun, the high rate of blind fire, the slow firing rate, and the lack of tight air hold, and there is no need to worry about it anymore. The problem of musket failure on rainy days, if the army can be deployed on a large scale, it means that his musket is higher than the Western generation.

However, although this flash hat firing gun is an improvement, it only has some advantages in the rate of fire and stability. It cannot change the mode of war. It can only be said that it has some advantages on the battlefield.

"I had this idea when I asked you to study the flash hider. Now that the flash hider has made progress, let's start, and the rule followed by the military workshop is to use one generation, develop one generation, and design one generation, so as to ensure weapons There will be no faults." Xiao Ming formulated the rules for the military workshop.

"Yes, the emperor." Song Changping and Chen Qi said, bowing.
