Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 80: Zhu Yuanzhang Airborne into Qingzhou City!!!

The reason why Zhu Rong first built the rifle, in addition to dealing with the Northern Yuan, there was also a very important reason, that is, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a big gap between it and European firearms.

At present, the Ming Dynasty is equipped with a maximum range of about 1 meter, and there is a basic accuracy, that is, the error can be made up by the salvo of multiple muskets.

Its effective range is about 50 meters, and if you want to achieve the ability to penetrate armor, its range is about 30 meters.

At this stage, the gap with European firearms is not too large, and European firearms are not much more advanced than Daming, or even slightly inferior.

However, the problem is that until the end of the Ming Dynasty, instead of progressing, the fire technology deteriorated, the power became smaller and smaller, the sugar frying rate became higher and higher, and there was no moisture-proof ability, the cooling period was very long, and the number of people killed by frequent explosions was even more than the number of enemies killed.

Therefore, the later Ming army simply gave up the fire bolt and changed back to the big knife and spear, which made Zhu Rong feel very pity.

In order to survive the war, countries continue to develop new weapons, coupled with the prevalence of capitalism, weapons and equipment have entered a state of survival of the fittest.

This allowed Europe to successfully complete the transformation from muskets to arquebuses, which is the prototype of the modern rifle.

Subsequently, the musket barrel was strengthened, and the butt and handguard were added to make handling and performance more convenient.

In Zhu Rong’s view, the best solution for the Ming Dynasty was to set up arsenals to compete with each other and promote the development of thermal weapons, but he now had no influence in the court, so he could only toss and turn on his own acres and three points.

and other successful research and development, to provide the Daming army with ready-made new weapons and equipment.

The rifle is considered the most basic weapon in later generations, but for the current technical conditions, it is still very difficult to design and produce.

Nowadays, the fire bolts of the Ming Dynasty mainly rely on special craftsmen to build, and there is no fixed standard, especially the sugar frying rate is relatively high, and the defects are very obvious.

And Zhu Rong not only had to solve the problem of gunpowder, but also the problem of production line, and had to create a standardized production line and use the power of machinery to mass-produce rifles.

The rifles produced in this way will be more standardized, which is conducive to the update and iteration of the subsequent research and development of the rifle.

Only in this way can Daming’s combat effectiveness be rapidly improved in a short period of time.

Soon, Zhu Rong built a weapons workshop outside Qingzhou City.

One of the very important workshops is the gunpowder making workshop!

The development of the rifle could not have been separated from the progress of gunpowder.

Zhu Rong exchanged experienced craftsmen from the system, and then gathered private craftsmen to combine them to improve and develop gunpowder.

Under the leadership of the system craftsmen, the development of gunpowder progressed very quickly.

Another workshop is a mechanical workshop.

The craftsmen in this are mainly divided into two groups.

One group is to design the structure of the gun, and the other is to design and process special instruments for the various parts of the gun.

Soon, a large number of experiments were carried out in various workshops, and drawings were taken out one by one.

Whether it is gunpowder, or the structure of rifles, as well as the machinery and equipment for production, they are rapidly updated and iterated.

These workshops are relatively remote, close to the mountain side, and occasionally the residents of Qingzhou City can hear the explosion from there, but everyone is not surprised, only thinking that the army is training.

Because now, the number of firebolts in the Ming army is still relatively high, and they often carry out training, and the sound of gunfire is constant.

All the drawings designed by the craftsmen were treated as top secrets, and the Five Elements soldiers exchanged by Zhu Rong from the system were guarded and strictly forbidden to be leaked.

These are relatively large projects, in addition, Zhu Rong also exchanged a gadget from the system, that is, pencils.

Using a pencil to draw drawings is more convenient, of course, compared to later pencils, it is still much rougher, but it no longer affects the use.

He also set up a small workshop to produce this pencil, the process is relatively rough, but now it is only used in small quantities, so it does not have much impact.

At present, the most important writing instrument of the Daming Dynasty is still the brush.

He also did not intend to popularize the pencil, limiting it to this small circle of weapons and equipment.

Craftsmen love pencils because they greatly improve their work efficiency.

It didn’t take long for craftsmen to develop some special tools by themselves, such as rulers, compasses, and so on.

The main purpose was to develop rifles, and incidentally, it promoted the development of mathematics.

The drawings drawn are also becoming more and more standardized and diverse, including floor plans, three-dimensional drawings and so on.

After mastering the rules, even if a new craftsman joins, you can quickly learn and understand the drawings.

To do this, Zhu Rong’s experience points are basically consumed.

He continued to earn money and quickly built asphalt roads and the walls of Qingzhou City.

The wall of Qingzhou City has now been built to more than 20 meters and is about to be completed.

On the day the city wall is completed, you can also receive 2 experience points, plus the small amount of experience points obtained every day during this period, cumulatively, Zhu Rong is estimated to be able to accumulate 5 experience points.

At that time, he intends to exchange a general from the system.

Since the famous courtiers and famous generals of the Ming Dynasty could not be used for themselves, then he simply used his own people.

And he has already chosen a target and intends to exchange Li Yunlong.

This guy has rich combat experience, strong ability to lead troops, and it is easy to mingle with the soldiers!

Zhu Rong is now just a small clan king, and the troops in his hands are now more than 30,000, and in the future, even if he recruits new soldiers, he can only slowly increase to about 60,000.

One Li Yunlong, completely brought over, and then let him train a few generals under his hands, in the army, even if it is basically formed.

As soon as he finished the matter at hand, he received the holy decree from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Strictly speaking, this holy decree was given to the Marquis of Jiangyin.

Roughly speaking, what are you grinding with as an old thing? Why hasn’t the Qi Royal Mansion been built yet? Do you not want His Royal Highness King Qi to marry your youngest daughter?

This holy decree was somewhat unexpected to Zhu Rong.

Since he came to Qidi, he was basically in a free-range state, and the connection with Ying Tianfu was very weak.

I don’t understand why my cheap father suddenly cares about his marriage.

But then again, the marriage between him and Jiangyin Hou’s youngest daughter has indeed dragged on for a long time, even if he is not in a hurry, the Wu family should be anxious.

Jiangyin Hou was very frightened, and Zhu Rong comforted him: “〃Father-in-law, now that we are about to collect autumn grain, the officials killed by the imperial court should be about the same, so hurry up.ˇ.” ”

Jiangyin Hou listened to Zhu Rong say this, and only then relaxed.

Therefore, he withdrew the hired workers from the side of building the city wall and continued to build the Qi royal palace.

Now, the construction of King Qi’s Mansion has actually entered the end.

Half a month later, the various halls were topped out, and then, some garden scenery was arranged inside.

The most troublesome thing is the rockery, and the introduction of living water.

The strange stone in Jiangyin Houxiang is located in the mountainous area, and the road is not easy to take.

Transporting it out of the mountain is more troublesome, and the manpower, material and financial resources used consume a lot, but now I can’t take care of so much, so I will hurry up and transport this strange stone to the royal mansion first.

The introduction of living water is relatively simple, digging a ditch, and directly paving it with home-produced masonry below. Then, after fixing it with cement, you can release water into the Qi Wangfu.

The water source passes through the Qi Wangfu, then through the entire Qingzhou City, and then rejoins the main channel of the river.

Zhu Rong also specially set up a water room, which is specially used to filter these living waters.

After filtration, the living water will become cleaner and convenient for daily drinking, and this living water is relatively safe and can avoid poisoning incidents like Qingzhou.

Even if someone wants to poison the water, it needs to be put in a very large amount to have an impact.

And if it is a well, it is much easier to poison.

Although there is no need to worry about your own safety now, the Qi Royal Mansion is the time to build, and the layout is good during this period, and there is no need to change it later.

He not only wants to make Daming richer and stronger, but also makes his life more nourishing.

After the technology on the weapons workshop side matured, he was ready to build a water purification system.

After processing, the mountain springs in the mountains will be transported to the Qi Wangfu, and at that time, the living conditions can be raised to a higher level.

Although he could not produce water, he could make his men work as porters of mountain springs.

Of course, these are small things, but there is no hurry for the time being.

He and Jiangyin Hou sent people to respond to Tianfu, inquiring about the news from the court, and wrote to ask Concubine Da Ding, but they did not hear Zhu Yuanzhang’s intention to recall him back to the capital to marry.

In this way, the marriage ceremony should still be carried out in this Qi royal mansion.

Although it was said that far away in Qingzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma could not attend the wedding, but he estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang might let Concubine Da Ding come over, and maybe not.

It is also the seventh prince, and the specifications cannot be too cold.
