Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

The new recruits went into training as scheduled, but Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Ordnance Bureau again.

Having seen with his own eyes the crudeness and inferior quality of Daming's firearms, how could he still be in the mood to train those dandy boys?

After all, in a certain respect, these firearms represent the lives of countless Ming soldiers!

The soldiers hold advanced firearms in their hands. Naturally, it is much better for them to hold these fire sticks in their hands!

Before he arrived at the Ordnance Bureau, Xue Lu took the hundred fire guns and arrived at the Ordnance Bureau one step ahead.

Old Liu Tou was shocked when he saw this, mistakenly thinking that there was something wrong with the quality of these firecrackers.

"This general, this blunderbuss... the old man is going to check immediately to see which beast is lazy!"

After the Ordnance Bureau has undergone rectification, each craftsman must engrave his or her name and number on the products made to avoid bad situations such as shoddy products.

Even if it does appear, we can still trace it to the end according to the number and name, and find out this black sheep!

Old Liu Tou was very angry at the moment, his old face full of anger.

They, the craftsmen, finally met a noble man. Not only could they have enough to eat and drink, but they could also get a monthly salary, so they no longer had to live the hard life of not having enough to eat.

And this "noble man" is His Highness the King of Han.

Who would have thought that just a few days after the good days, some craftsmen would cheat and pass off inferior products as good ones!

Isn't this a slap in the face of their craftsmen?

Seeing the murderous look of Old Liu Tou, Xue Lu hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, Mr. Liu, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with these guns!"

Old Liu Tou was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Marquis Yang Wu with a blank expression.

No problem. Why did you send it back?

So full that you have nothing to do?

After the emperor's last inspection, Liu Bian and Song Zhong became the principals. One person was in charge of the iron workshop of the Ordnance Bureau, and the other was in charge of the carpentry workshop of the Ordnance Bureau.

Because the emperor personally gave the order, the two of them had a transcendent status in the Ordnance Bureau and even the entire Ministry of Industry.

However, the general in front of him seemed to have a lot of background, and Old Liu Tou did not dare to show off in front of him. He asked patiently: "This general, what is going on?"

"I don't know either. Prince Han will be here soon. You can ask him yourself when he arrives."

After hearing this, Old Liu Tou frowned even more.

This is what His Highness the King of Han means!

Could it be that there is really something wrong with these guns?

When he thought of this, he couldn't sit still and immediately ordered the craftsmen to come forward to check.

But after checking for a long time, no one found anything wrong.

On the contrary, the materials and texture of these firecrackers are much better than before.

This is due to the huge innovation in the iron smelting process of the Ordnance Bureau!

His Highness the King of Han once said that because the iron ore and coal stored in the Ming Dynasty contained relatively high phosphorus and sulfur content, the smelted pig iron was extremely brittle and hard, far less tough than charcoal iron smelting.

As a result, firearms and cannons made of this pig iron were not only very heavy, but also extremely easy to explode!

Sulfur and phosphorus are the most terrifying killers in iron smelting!

If you want to remove harmful elements such as sulfur and phosphorus from pig iron, you must add coke when making iron instead of using coal to make iron entirely.

Therefore, under the call of the Prince of Han Dynasty, and with the full support of Song Li, Minister of Industry, the Ordnance Bureau slowly explored and learned from the production process of briquettes, and successfully produced a lot of high-quality pig iron.

Although the iron produced is also pig iron, its toughness is much better than that of pig iron in the past.

However, the "blast furnace iron-making" and "crucible steel-making" mentioned by the King of Han have not yet taken shape and have not been conquered so far. Old Liu Tou has been busy with this matter recently.

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu finally arrived.

"Your Majesty, are there any problems with this batch of fire blunderbuss? Why do you want to return it..."

As soon as Old Liu Tou saw the real owner, he couldn't wait to ask.

Zhu Gaoxu did not answer the question, but took out a pile of drawings from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of Old Liu Tou.

"Old Liu Tou, please call over the most experienced craftsmen in the Arms Bureau, and together we will study these new fire blunderbuss to see if they can be produced with most of your current technical levels!"

Manager Liu was stunned and hurriedly spread out the first drawing. He couldn't move his eyes away for a moment.

He, Liu Bian, has made a living by forging iron for generations, and after becoming a craftsman, he forged fire guns all day long. With just a fleeting glance, he was completely attracted by this new style of fire gun.

I saw a fire gun drawn on the drawing. Compared with the magic gun produced now, this "bird gun" also has a rear sight, a star, a gun holder, and a gun machine. There is even a note on the drawing that the bird gun can be made by One person holds it with both hands at the same time and launches it.

"My lord, this fire gun... is really exquisite!"

One person can launch it by holding it with both hands!

What is this concept?

Today's magic gun generally requires two people to launch. When launching, the two launchers are responsible for aiming and ignition respectively.

This makes the magic gun not only troublesome to operate, but also has low firing efficiency, and its hit rate is also frighteningly low!

However, the gun in front of me only requires one shooter to hold it and fire it. It is also equipped with aiming tools such as a rear sight and a star, so the hit rate will naturally be greatly improved!

If this gun can really be produced, then the Daming Firearms will usher in an epoch-making innovation and progress!

Old Liu Tou was very excited and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with admiring eyes.

He was excited and excited.

It seemed that it was an extremely honorable thing for Zhu Gaoxu to entrust him with the production of this gun!

Xue Lu was also a little curious. He stuck his head out and took a look, and his eyes suddenly widened!

This thing... is an artifact!

The Shenji Gun requires the shooter to hold the handle in one hand and the fuel in the other, making it more difficult to hit the target. Therefore, the Shenji Battalion equipped a Shenji Gun with two shooters.

But this blunderbuss can be fired by one person, and there is no need to ignite it!

If the Shenji Battalion is equipped with this thing, its combat power will increase more than ten times!

"Go quickly, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net stop all the work you are doing immediately and go all out to develop and produce this gun!"

Xue Lu became anxious and urged Old Liu Tou who was still in a daze.

Chief Liu Da finally came to his senses and trotted into the iron workshop.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the two people's reactions and just smiled lightly.

Compared with the hand-held fire guns used in the Ming Dynasty, the bird gun has epoch-making significance.

Because the basic structure and appearance of the bird gun are close to those of later generations of rifles, and they are the prototype of later generations of rifles!

The blunderbuss has a longer barrel and a smaller caliber. It fires round lead bullets of the same caliber, with a longer range and increased lethality!

The blunderbuss was equipped with a front sight and a rear sight, and the hand-point firing was changed to a machine-fired one. The handle of the gun was changed from a straight wooden handle inserted into the butt of the blunderbuss to a curved wooden stock that holds the blunderbuss tube. When shooting, The two-hand back grip is changed to one hand holding the gun body in front and one hand behind the gun handle. The gun can be held stably for aiming, and the shooting accuracy is greatly improved!

The most primitive and simple hand-point fire door gun, what can be compared with it?

But now it is not easy to make a gun.

At least if you want to make it before the Northern Expedition to Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, it is simply impossible!

"My lord, have you acquired the Mohist inheritance? Are you going to take the path of practical learning? This is not a good thing!"

Xue Lu suddenly spoke, a rugged man with a sinister face, but at this moment he showed a shrewd look.

His Royal Highness, the King of Han, has shown many strange and cunning skills in recent days!

If someone with a heart looks at it, I'm afraid they will seize the opportunity to impeach.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Old Xue, what are you thinking about? Once this blunderbuss is successfully made, I wonder who will dare to talk about 'strange and obscene skills'!"

Strange skills and ingenuity are the ancient people’s resistance and contempt for science and technology!

At the same time, it is also the most ridiculous word!
