Chapter 528 Old Equipment

At this time, Qi Jiguang said again: "If there is a gap between the equipment, it's okay to say, but because our soldiers haven't fought for many years, their military strength has dropped a lot, let alone the Japanese pirates' opponents.",

After listening to Qi Jiguang's analysis, Liu Suifeng immediately said: "Since the general has said so, obviously there are some ways, I wonder if you can tell me."

"I still can't hide it from Brother Liu. Indeed, after I came to Longshan Institute, I rectified military discipline and trained soldiers. Many people who don't know how to use guns are also required to practice. However, there must be no improvement in this period of time. Only after a long time can we make progress!"

"What trick does the general have?"

"It's hard to calculate, but there is a small solution, and that is to improve firearms, so that we can have the power to fight! Whether it is our military ships or the firecrackers used by infantry, we need to improve. We The overall problem with the firecrackers currently being used is that they have a short range and insufficient lethality. The same is true for artillery, and some artillery are prone to exploding, which is a hidden danger that can easily cause large-scale damage."

"In this case, we still need to do a lot of things!"

Liu Suifeng looked a little ugly, what General Qi said should be true.

He also understood that the Ming army hadn't fought for many years after all, and many of the weapons used should have been many years ago.

The same is true of artillery and firecrackers. Compared with Japanese pirates in Japan, the Ming army has not fought wars all year round, but Japan has fought civil wars.

Therefore, in terms of equipment, Japan should be more advanced.

Now it seems that the most urgent task is to strengthen and improve the firecracker artillery.

Liu Suifeng wondered if he could try it, but he didn't say it right away.

Because he himself was not sure whether it could be improved, he immediately said: "General Qi, I am very interested in firecrackers, I wonder if I can take a look?"

Hearing Liu Suifeng's words, Qi Jiguang said directly: "The firecrackers are originally extremely confidential items, but since Brother Liu and you have joined our anti-Japanese team, it doesn't matter if you take a look at them. Come with me, everyone!"

Afterwards, everyone left the beach and went to the lobby of Longshan Institute.

In fact, by the Ming Dynasty, firecrackers were already a must-have in the army.

Even if there are not many in number, it will definitely not be absent.

Therefore, many armies will have their own firecrackers teams. Because firecrackers are relatively precious, the management of firecrackers is extremely strict.

If it wasn't for this special time, Liu Suifeng and the others would have found it difficult to see the firecrackers provided by the court.

When he came to the arsenal, Liu Suifeng saw that there were a lot of firecrackers, there were dozens of them.

However, compared to the number of defenders at Longshan Institute, these dozens of firecrackers are extremely small in number!

There are a lot of iron sand and gunpowder inside, all of which are extremely tightly protected.

The arsenal has special personnel to watch over it, so it is considered to be very strict.

Picking up a firecracker, Liu Suifeng played with it for a while, and found that the whole thing was a bit bulky and cumbersome to carry.

Moreover, most of the firecrackers here are a bit old, and they look like things that have been around for a while.

"General Qi, these firecrackers seem a bit old!"

Before Liu Suifeng could speak, Young Master Hai discovered this and asked directly.

When Qi Jiguang heard this, he nodded immediately and said: "That's true. These things were all made a few years ago, or even longer. Many of them are no longer usable. I even sent many craftsmen to repair them. .”

"The imperial court did not pay attention to this aspect before, but now it is in urgent need of it, so it uses these old things. I really want to crush those dogs who only criticize others but not do practical things to death one by one!"

Wang Rulong didn't seem to like these firecrackers very much. The dogs he was talking about were naturally those who managed these things in the court.

Hearing Wang Rulong's words, Qi Jiguang shook his head: "It's not anyone's fault, it's like this in the entire Ming Dynasty, if it wasn't for the fact that the Japanese pirates were so fierce, the emperor probably didn't know about it! Our Daming army is indeed very powerful. Weak!"

"General, if you can trust me, hand over the firecracker here to the next one, and I want to go back and study it carefully."

Liu Suifeng immediately clasped his fists and said solemnly.

Although he didn't know if it was possible, he felt a little disappointed seeing that the equipment was so outdated, so he directly volunteered to improve it.

Hearing Liu Suifeng's words, Qi Jiguang looked at Liu Suifeng and questioned, "Young Xia, do you still understand this?"

Liu Suifeng understands that in this day and age, not everyone knows about firecrackers, so it is even more impossible for anyone to easily know the distance.

Liu Suifeng clasped his fists immediately, and said half-truthfully, "I've been fond of firecrackers and cannons since I was a child, so I know a little bit about it, and I want to study it, so as to contribute to the fight against the Japanese."

"Brother Liu is really versatile. Well, since Brother Liu wants to try to improve the firecracker, then I will make an exception and send one to Brother Liu! I wish Brother Liu a smooth improvement of the firecracker!"

After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he directly asked the person in charge of the firecracker to give Liu Suifeng a firecracker.

Liu Suifeng handed the firecracker directly to Liangchen, and then went directly to look at the artillery.

These cannons, like the firecrackers, are very old.

Many of them are already rusted. Judging from the appearance of the artillery, they are not big, and the materials seem to be very low-quality, far inferior to the steel in the 21st century.

Liu Suifeng took a good look at it, and then merged the memories of his previous life.

At this time, it was discovered that the firing principles of these artillery had completely changed.

The principle of these cannons in front of us is similar to that of ordinary fireworks and firecrackers, which is extremely simple.

Liu Suifeng began to think in his heart. He didn't know the principle of advanced artillery, but only knew some shapes.

And even if you know it, it's useless. In this era, it's impossible to have such good craftsmanship.

Therefore, we can only start from other aspects.

For a while Liu Suifeng didn't have any good methods, so he took a serious note of the appearance of the artillery in front of him, and then went back to find some pens and paper, and studied it carefully to see if he could find a way to improve and strengthen it.

Then everyone went to visit the firecracker team, because the firecrackers are extremely cherished, so the firecrackers use wooden sticks instead.

In normal training, real firecrackers are rarely used, and only when it comes to fighting, the firecrackers are used.

This firecracker team has more people than the number of firecrackers. It seems that many people don't have firecrackers to use when they are actually fighting.

Liu Suifeng sighed in his heart, wondering what the officials in the court thought, such an important weapon could fall so far behind.

No wonder the Japanese pirates were able to run rampant on their own territory. The court of the Ming Dynasty was really useless.

Fortunately, there is Qi Jiguang, a far-sighted general, and he will surely get some improvement in the future!
