Great Song Pirate

Chapter 468

Ren Bin slapped his head violently and exclaimed: "My God! Why didn't I think that I could equip each cannon with more of these guns? I'm such a pig brain! Look what a pig brain I am! If it is In this way, we can load all the sub-guns with gunpowder and projectiles in advance, and when they need to be released, we can directly put them into the cannon one by one. It really saves trouble and trouble to put a loaded gun in. There is no need to pour water, wipe the gun bore, charge powder and load bullets after firing a gun, Everything is already done in advance! You can’t do it too quickly! My God, if this is the case, how fast the cannon will be fired! This... this... this, how did the master come up with this method? Ah! The humiliation is simply... simply... oh! My lord, please be respected by my lord! I really admire my lord!" Ren Bin knelt down in front of Xu Yi with a plop, and bowed to Xu Yi solemnly After a few prayers.

Hearing what Xu Yi and Ren Bin said, Daniel finally figured out the reason behind it, and he admired it in his heart!He secretly cursed himself as a pig's head, but he didn't even figure out the reason for it. He stood beside him and felt lucky, wishing to kick his ass.

Xu Yi bent down to help Ren Bin up from the ground, his heart burst into sweat again, he had once again plagiarized the wisdom of later generations, and now it has become his skill, so he said with a smile: "Master Ren, don't belittle yourself! It is not easy for you to see the structure of this kind of cannon from the picture I drew at once. Besides, I only drew one sub-gun, which misled your thinking. How can you blame you for thinking Is it crooked? Don’t say it’s you, I’m afraid if you change someone, you may not be able to figure out the reason for this, so get up! Let’s continue!”

Ren Bin got up from the ground with a face full of shame, and stood on the edge of the table again, with a frenzied expression on his face, as if he wished he could go back to the artillery operation now and cast this artillery immediately.

Xu Yi then said to him: "Master Ren, don't worry. Although I have drawn a sketch of this kind of cannon, if I want to cast it immediately, I am afraid there are still many problems to be solved. Look, first of all, the casting of this kind of cannon At that time, the structure was much more complicated than that of the Leigong cannon, especially at the tail part of the cannon. I call the part that is loaded with gunpowder and projectiles the sub-cuppy, which can be more clearly stated. In addition to the troublesome casting of the mother blunderbuss, it is also not easy to cast the sub-cuppets. The specifications of each sub-cuppet must be It's exactly the same, and there can't be any mistakes, otherwise, it can't be put into the breech of the female gun. It won't work if it's too big, or it won't work if it's too small. , and the place where the sub-gun and the mother gun are combined must be made very precisely, without too much gap, but it must be light when put in. The part of the joint is the most difficult part of this gun. Otherwise, when the gunpowder is fired, a large amount of gas from the gunpowder will leak from here, and the projectile will not be able to hit far, and the speed will be much slower, not to mention the power! These problems need to be solved by you, and they will not be solved overnight. Things don't come in a hurry!"

Ren Bin listened very seriously and nodded repeatedly. Although Xu Yi said so many problems, in his mind, as long as he had this idea, he could still make this kind of fast gun, but it was just a little more troublesome.

Xu Yi looked at Ren Bin's expression and knew that he had made up his mind, so he went on to say: "In addition, most of the force-bearing parts of this kind of gun are on the sub-gun, and the pressure on the gun body is much reduced. Therefore, the bore wall of this kind of gun can be cast thinner, and you can even switch to cast iron after you successfully trial-produce it with bronze. Moreover, this kind of gun has a very big advantage, that is, even if something goes wrong with the gun , don’t worry about cracking or misfiring, just take off the sub-gun and replace it with a new one, it will not affect the continued use of the mother gun at all, the broken sub-gun will be scrapped, so that the service life of the gun will be extended It has been extended a lot!"

Ren Bin was overjoyed when he heard that, and replied: "It turns out that this kind of gun has so many benefits! Why didn't I think of it? If this is the case, I will try it out as soon as possible. The production of the Pao Zuo Lei Gong Pao has been discontinued, and we will concentrate on making this fast cannon!"

Xu Yi quickly shook his head and said, "Impossible! Although this fast cannon has so many advantages, its disadvantages are also obvious. Because of its airtightness, the range and power of this cannon are far inferior to ordinary Leigong cannons. The inner diameter of the bore of this cannon cannot be made too large, and the largest can not exceed the inner diameter of the Leigong Cannon we are using now, so it cannot completely replace the Leigong Cannon. Your cannon will continue to cast that kind of supernatural cannon. Both types of cannons must be made. We can build more fast guns like this for the infantry in the future, so that they will be easier to use!"

"My lord! We should always give this kind of gun a dignified name! Isn't it a little too imposing to call him Kuai Pao?" Daniel stretched his neck and asked Xu Yi suddenly.

"Let's call it the Frang Cannon!" Xu Yi replied casually without even thinking about it.

Ren Bin and Daniu couldn't help being stunned when they heard this, the name is too strange, last time when Xu Yi made the rocket, he took the name of Katyusha, which sounded awkward, but today he gave this kind of quick cannon It's too unacceptable to take a name like Frangji.

As soon as Xu Yi said the words, he realized the problem immediately. Flangji was the name for Portugal and Spain in the later Ming Dynasty. At this time, Portugal and Spain probably didn't exist yet!It is really inappropriate for me to name this fast gun Flangji. I thought to myself, since I have plagiarized it, I will plagiarize it in the end. I can’t give this fast gun a foreigner’s name anymore, so I quickly changed my words and said: " Oh! This name is indeed a bit inappropriate, why not call it a blast cannon! It fires like a blast, what do you think of this name?"

Now Ren Bin and Daniu are satisfied. No matter how you hear it, the blast gun sounds good, and they all nodded to express their satisfaction.

"Ren Bin, in the future, you must not only make good guns, but also take good care of your craftsmen. You must know that we will rely on this kind of firearms for a long time in the future. This is our greatest advantage at present. We must not let the casting If the secret of this kind of artillery is spread out, I can give the craftsmen the best treatment, but I will never allow anyone to betray our Fubo Army. If someone leaks this cannon casting technology, I will definitely ask you. Remember, the other thing is to train more subordinates and let them participate in your trial production. With brainstorming, it will be much faster than you alone. Artillery technology is becoming more and more perfect. There is a problem among us Han people. We are worried that our crafts will be learned and robbed of our jobs. The result is that many of the very good skills created by us Han people are brought into the grave and lost. In the world, there are too many such examples, and it is simply too numerous to list! It is not easy for us to find out the craft of casting cannons. I don’t know how much time and effort you have spent to achieve today’s achievements. Don’t let this Skills are easily lost or lost, you must pay special attention to this!" Xu Yi finally instructed Ren Bin.

Xu Yi's words made Ren Bin feel ashamed. As a famous coppersmith, he does know a lot of casting secrets, and he would not pass them on to others easily, and Xu Yi's words seemed to be talking about him. It made him suddenly feel that he was a bit stingy. What Xu Yi said was right. In the past, there were indeed many amazing creations in all walks of life in the history of China, but due to the stinginess of the craftsmen, they were reluctant to pass them on to others, and gradually disappeared completely. In the history of China, it is no longer possible to know the methods of these skills, which is indeed a sigh, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Please rest assured, my lord, now that the craftsmen in the copper works have already regarded themselves as For the people of the Fubo Army, I want to stay and work here. We used to be on land, although we could make a living with our craftsmanship, but few people treated us craftsmen, let alone Don’t be angry with the rich. After arriving here, we feel that our backs are much stronger. It’s the same work, but it just feels different. Don’t say we won’t let them go now, even if the lord orders them to be sent back now. I'm afraid they won't agree! My lord, don't worry about this matter. I will definitely pay attention to the movements of my subordinates. If someone really dares to disagree, we craftsmen will solve him without the lord's order. I am ashamed to let the craft of casting cannons be lost so easily, as well as related to the skills. The words of the lord today have also awakened me. I will definitely pass on what I have learned to other craftsmen in the future, and I will never do it again. Be stingy with craftsmanship, if the lord finds out that the humble worker is stingy with craftsmanship again, just cut off the humble worker's head!"

Ren Bin was ordered to leave with the sketch, and Xu Yi also asked Daniel to go down to rest, and went back to the inner house by himself. According to the fulfilled agreement, he should stay in the emerald room tonight. Thinking of the gentleness of emerald jade, Xu Yi couldn't help but move his index finger. Thinking about Yingchun and Yiqing already having children, and Cuiyu and Yuehong haven't had children yet, he also feels a little guilty. He secretly thinks that he should work hard!So he reached out and knocked lightly on the door of Cuiyu's room a few times, and the door opened from the inside immediately, Cuiyu in a green dress, as pretty as a green lotus, was inside the door, Xu Yi stepped into the door, turned his backhand After closing the door, she stretched her arms around Cuiyu's slender waist, Cuiyu let out a moan with hazy eyes...

It took Xu Yi several days to visit all the places in Jilongzhai. Apart from seeing a thriving scene everywhere, he also saw some problems. After talking with the immigrants here, he learned from them that Some people still appear to be overstaffed, push the bucks and talk about things when they encounter problems, and even a few village officials have bullied others. For such a situation, Xu Yi didn't save face at all, and immediately ordered Jia Qian to punish him severely, without hesitation !
When he was in later generations, he hated this kind of people the most. Now that he is the commander-in-chief of the Fubo Army, this place is his territory. Naturally, he will not let these problems continue to exist, so there is no way to punish such people. Don't be relentless, and ordered Jia Qian to post an announcement after dealing with these people, which would have the effect of shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger, so that other officials who had this idea or signs would know that this is the territory of the Fubo Army, not the Song Dynasty. If you want to do the land-based thing here, I’m sorry, let’s see if your neck is hard enough. After some rectification, you are immediately supported by many immigrants, and everyone in Jilongzhai is obsessed with orders. From.

Of course, Xu Yi did not fully follow the democratic methods of later generations. The society has not yet developed to that point, and people's thinking has not yet developed to that level. It will be counterproductive, and now is the time when the Fubo army is expanding. He can accept well-intentioned opinions, but he will never allow democratic decision-making. In order to continue to maintain this momentum, he must implement dictatorship. Fortunately, now Except for a few people, the Fubo army is still an old man in the Jinhu era. Most of them were single-handedly promoted by him. It is difficult to form a party, coupled with the unannounced visits of the inspection team and their dedicated communication channel, Xu Yi does not have to worry about the large-scale rebellion of his subordinates at present, and the matter of the water cat can only be regarded as a special case. Due to collusion.

Jia Qian felt very ashamed of what happened to his subordinates, so he asked Xu Yi to plead guilty, but Xu Yi persuaded him and said: "Mr. Similarly, everyone has their own thoughts and qualities, and now that our territory is gradually expanding and more and more officials are appointed, it is impossible to ensure that everyone is absolutely clean, although some officials appear Disharmonious situations, but after all, they are only a very small number, and there is no universality. The situation can be brought under control soon, and will not affect the basics of the Fubo Army. It's not what you want, don't ask for any more crimes, you have contributed a lot to the chicken cage village to reach such a point, this matter not only does not show your slack, but it shows your credit!"

(I beg of you, don’t vote for another [-] yuan! If you keep doing this, you may be at the root of your disease! Sweat! This is not to blame, brothers, who made Liao have too much appetite! Alright! I'm here today, my wrist hurts so much I can't bear it! This is from untying the bandage!)
