Chapter 449 Firearm Configuration Plan

Chapter 449 Firearm Configuration Plan

Since the test firing required time to prepare, Meng Chen and others stood aside and began to discuss confidentiality measures.

Regardless of the bird gun, the three-eyed gun or the Hongyi cannon, these three firearms must be the top secret of the Great Xia Empire.

Especially before the start of the Western Expedition, Meng Chen did not want the power and usage of these three things to be leaked even if large-scale installations began.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, so internal secrecy has become the top priority!
"Your Majesty, in addition to strengthening the defense of the artisan workshop, I suggest that the dark department conduct another large-scale secret investigation of the personnel inside the artisan workshop." Liu Bowen spoke first.

Hearing this, Meng Chen was slightly stunned. He built the artisan workshop all by himself, not to mention Ma Jun's character, he also knows that if there is really a problem inside the artisan workshop, he should have discovered it long ago.

However, after bowing his head and pondering for a while, Meng Chen felt that what Liu Bowen said made sense, and because he was too concerned about the development of the artisan workshop, Meng Chen basically didn't bother too much about the internal affairs of the artisan workshop.

As for Ma Jun, who is dedicated to researching technology, he really doesn't know if his subordinates have other thoughts.

In other words, Ma Jun is a master of technology, but his playing skills are still a lot worse.

"What the military advisor said is very true. I was negligent in this matter." Meng Chen spoke, basically agreeing to Liu Bowen's proposal.

"Brother Shan, tell Mr. Wen He to do it. No matter what you find, you must report it to me." Meng Chen ordered Meng Shan.

Meng Shan should come here, although he doesn't have to go in person, but this kind of thing must be done by selecting cronies from the Meng family army.

"Your Majesty, other than that, it's better to select a few people to assist the general. In this way, the government affairs will be handled by someone, and the general can do things with peace of mind." Wei Zheng's voice came, and these words made Meng Chen's eyes shine.

What Wei Zheng did was to equip Ma Jun with a capable assistant, or to select a dedicated team.

One can help Ma Jun handle daily government affairs, and the other can help Ma Jun control the entire artisan workshop.

"Xuan Cheng's words are very true!" Meng Chen immediately said Wei Zheng's words.

After all, Ma Jun is making a sound out of technology, and it is indeed a bit of a rush to make him a general.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's words came out of his mouth, Meng Chen agreed without hesitation.

In a few words, everyone decided on the restructuring of the artisan workshop.

And through this incident, it is not difficult for Meng Chen to see that Liu Bowen and Wei Zheng have already seen the disadvantages.

As for why I didn't say it earlier, it is probably because the empire has just been established, and Meng Chen's subordinates need to get the rewards they deserve.

And this time, just following the matter of secrecy, they spoke out the thoughts in the hearts of the two of them!
Generally speaking, Meng Chen didn't consider this matter, and to put it bluntly, he was inexperienced, but fortunately Liu Bowen and Wei Zheng found an excuse to make corrections.

Firstly, it solves the disadvantages discovered, and secondly, it saves Meng Chen's face.

It can be seen that the two cooperate very skillfully with each other.

Looking at the two, Meng Chen smiled knowingly. With these two people by his side to assist him, he believed that the Great Xia Empire would surely achieve brilliant achievements.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready." At this moment, Li Cunxiao's voice came over.

Just now when Meng Chen and the other three were discussing, Li Cunxiao couldn't intervene at all, so he slipped aside to observe the preparations for the Hongyi cannon.

It has to be said that if you want to operate a Hongyi cannon proficiently, you must have a skilled gunner from the training department.

Fortunately, Meng Qi and others have already trained some people, which is also ready for the future installation.

Everyone who heard the words hastily stopped the conversation, Meng Chen raised his eyes and saw that the two red cannons had entered the ready firing position, and Ma Jun and Meng Qi were doing the final inspection.

After a while, Ma Jun ran over out of breath and saluted Meng Chen: "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Meng Chen nodded, indicating that Ma Jun could start the test shooting.

Today's test firing is the first time after the successful imitation of the Hongyi cannon, so Ma Jun's expression is still slightly nervous.

Fortunately, this guy Meng Qi was drawn out of the system, and he does things in an orderly manner without a trace of nervousness.

"Get ready, light the fire!" Obtaining Meng Chen's order, Meng Qi shouted to his two groups of people.

The next moment, the gunner lit the match, followed by two loud sounds: "Boom! Boom!"

Meng Chen took out the binoculars and looked towards the shooting range five hundred paces away.

There were only two iron bullets, plowing away two long marks among the straw men in the shooting range.

Seeing this, Meng Chen nodded in satisfaction. At present, the imitation Hongyi cannon is not much different from the original cannon, but it was only fired once.

And the installation of each weapon or armor needs to go through countless tests, and it is necessary to know the critical point of the weapon or armor.

Of course, this matter is a rule set by Meng Chen himself!
After about a stick of incense, the test had to be stopped due to the overheating of the gun barrel.

At this moment, an imperceptible smile appeared on Li Cunxiao's face.

"Brother Cunxiao, if there are twenty Hongyi cannons for every [-] people, is that enough?" Meng Chen asked with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Li Cunxiao was taken aback for a moment, a team of [-] people needs to deploy [-] Hongyi cannons?
Thinking of the spectacular scene of twenty Hongyi cannons firing at the same time, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but shudder.

"If Your Majesty deploys firearms on a large scale, will bird guns and three-eyed guns also be included?" Li Cunxiao did not answer directly, but expressed his own doubts.

"That's right, I plan to equip each team of [-] people with twenty Hongyi cannons, three thousand bird blunderbusses, and two thousand three-eyed blunderbusses." Meng Chen expressed his thoughts in one breath.

Calculated according to this configuration, as long as the bird guns and three-eyed guns can be equipped on a large scale, even if there are fewer Hongyi cannons, so what?

"Your Majesty is wise. From now on, I can wipe out any small country with a team of [-] people." Li Cunxiao bowed and saluted. This sentence was not casual.

"Brother Cun Xiao's words, of course I believe it, but the equipment and use of firearms still have a long way to go, we must clearly understand their advantages and disadvantages, otherwise we will only increase casualties and even defeat when we go to the battlefield. Meng Chen nodded, bluntly said that firearms are a double-edged sword.

"Not only that, the use of firearms also puts a lot of pressure on logistics supplies." Liu Bowen said to the point.

"What the military adviser said is true. If the supplies can't keep up, even if you hold a firearm in your hand, it's nothing more than an iron rod!"

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, I dare to say that it is necessary to compile firearm drill methods and training content for the new army as soon as possible." Li Cunxiao bowed and said.

From Meng Chen's words just now, it is not difficult to see that it is only a matter of time before the large-scale installation of firearms, so Li Cunxiao has found a new target.
