Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The study room of Cu'en Hall is simple and simple. There is an orange-yellow wooden couch, but the color is not the lacquer, but the color of Jinshen itself. The smooth wooden surface looks a little old, as if it has been severely worn, but because of this, there is a beautiful streamer in the texture.

Guo Shao sat down directly on the bed, reached out and took out a wooden model from the soft and delicate yellow robe. It is the arquebus mechanism presented by the Arms Supervision.

He held it in his hand and looked it over and over again. The general structure has already been understood, but he still settled down and continued to look carefully.

One thing, as long as you observe it patiently, time will make people see many things clearly. This is Guo Shao's life experience. He ran his fingers up one end of the mechanism, trying to figure out its movement in his mind.

Soon Guo Shao discovered a problem. There is no problem in pulling the trigger and pressing the end of the matchlock to ignite the gunpowder... But there is a problem with the gunpowder pushing the projectile out of the barrel!

air tightness. In order for the match to ignite the gunpowder in the hole accurately, the opening of the hole is very large; the hole dug in this model is also very large. Such a large hole is not airtight, how to generate chamber pressure? !

Not long ago, Zan Jurun was asked to cast a real object for testing. With such a design, the projectile could not be shot out even after a hundred tests.

In the past, there was no such problem with direct ignition with an open flame, because the lead wire can be made very thin, the lead wire hole is not much larger than the needle eye, and the chamber pressure will not disappear.

Guo Shao pondered for a long time, and felt that it was impossible to directly ignite the launch|shooting|powder with a match; he also had to add a primer pot on it, and use the burning primer to ignite the gunpowder for launching the projectile.

Not long after, he discovered another problem: this ignition method may cause the hole to be blocked and misfire. The barrel is not easy to clean... Maybe the end of the barrel should be made into a part that can be easily disassembled and cleaned.

Guo Shao used to think that gun|powder|gun was a very simple and backward weapon, but only now did he discover that there are many problems.

From the musket gun to the arquebus, the components suddenly became complicated; moreover, the muzzle ignited by the Huomen was useless, and there was obviously no motivation to progress to the more complicated arquebus, and it should be a slow process.

But Guo Shao knew that the arquebus was more advanced without any reason, and his own will forced this development forward.

Guo Shao stood up, walked to the table, put down the wooden model, picked up the brush and began to describe the problems he found and some ideas for improvement with pictures and texts.

At this time, the light at the door dimmed slightly, and he felt someone came in.

Guo Shao looked sideways and found that the person who came in was Dong Sanmei.

Guo Shao didn't speak, but wrote in detail.

"Heck..." Guo Shao buried his head and heard a soft sound. When he looked up, the teacup was already on the table, the lid was lifted, and the water in the cup was shaking left and right. He glanced at Dong Sanmei again, and saw that she had a fearful expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Guo Shao asked.

Dong Sanmei suddenly knelt down on the ground: "I... my slave heard that Your Majesty's Dayi was reincarnated, I was very scared."

Guo Shao immediately put down the brush, stretched out his hand to help her up, and said kindly: "It's just that most people haven't seen me credulously believing such rumors. How can Third Sister still believe it? Look carefully at me, what kind of monster is there?"

Dong Sanmei lowered her head.

Guo Shao said a few nice words again, because he didn't show any sign of being irritable, so Dong Sanmei really looked up and looked at Guo Shao carefully... It is extremely rude to look at the emperor, but Guo Shao obviously doesn't care about those rules here.

Dong Sanmei looked at it for a while, Guo Shao smiled and said, "Am I the same as others?"

Dong Sanmei blushed and said, "It's all my fault for being stupid, for interrupting His Majesty's important work."

"No." Guo Shao looked at her more patiently, as if he was still listening to her. He felt that spending a little while to treat the people around him seriously might create a different atmosphere... Especially for a young girl like Dong Sanmei, who might not have a high psychological ability to withstand stress.

Dong Sanmei whispered: "Your Majesty is very kind to me, fortunately I met His Majesty..."

...

The next day, Guo Shao strode into the meeting hall on the east side of the Jinxiang Hall. Looking around carefully, he felt that the expressions of the generals were also different from before. That posture really looked like worshiping a Bodhisattva. However, Guo Shao believes that those who can become generals are all knowledgeable, and it is impossible to believe those inexplicable rumors.

He sat down on the upper chair and said: "Everyone get up, sit down and discuss matters."

At this moment, Wang Pu turned his head to look up | Guo Shao glanced at him, and said: "Today's discussion on military aircraft, except for everyone here, no news is allowed."

Everyone responded.

Guo Shao fell silent and looked sideways at Wang Pu. Wang Pu got up and cupped his hands and said, "The Privy Council plans to attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun according to His Majesty's order. All the gentlemen can express their opinions and explain the reasons..."

Before the words finished, Shi Yanchao said, "When does Your Majesty want to fight?"

Wang Pu was stunned, and looked at Wei Renpu next to him.

Shi Yanchao said: "I don't believe that there is a battle that His Majesty can't win, the last general please be the forward!"

Yang Biao pulled a horse face, looked at Shi Yanchao coldly, and looked sideways at Li Chuyun, the highest military officer without saying a word.

Only then did Li Chuyun open his mouth and said: "The morale of the generals in front of the palace is very high, and the general has no objection to continuing to use troops."

Only then did Yang Biao say bluntly: "Wherever your majesty says to fight, the last general will go there!"

Han Tong, Gao Huaide and other generals took the lead in the battle one after another, and everyone didn't elaborate on the reasons, but none of them opposed the use of troops! This scene made Guo Shao a little surprised. He confirmed the result, which was to start a war with the Liao Kingdom. The Forbidden Army did not have any unwillingness... The overall system of the Great Zhou Dynasty continued the situation of "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms".

Guo Shao has always had the habit of thinking independently, but the people around him will still affect his balance and judgment. Because he believes that these high-ranking civil and military ministers are not simple-minded people. The generals had narrow escapes on the battlefield and experienced fierce power struggles in the Central Plains. Most of them were at least generals in the (later) Han Dynasty, and they had no ability to stabilize their current positions.

At this time Wei Renpu got up and said: "I have a word."

Guo Shao maintained a fast and calm tone: "Vice Envoy Wei has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Wei Renpu said indifferently: "Youyun Sixteen Prefectures are originally the land of 'China', and they will be taken back sooner or later.

Although Wuyue, Southern Han and others were no longer a threat to the Great Zhou, they were still unwilling to submit to the imperial edict and surrender. People in the world still did not really understand the great Zhou's military power, and many things remained unresolved. Perhaps the reason why we haven't really competed against the strongest Liao army at this time.

Attacking the land of dark clouds first can kill two birds with one stone. The Great Zhou shocked the world, depending on the spread, and could complete the great cause of unifying the world faster. "
