Iron Dynasty

Governor?

In the imperial study, Pang Yukun showed a puzzled look, but the name was a bit novel.

Xiao Ming nodded and said, Our army will occupy more places in the future, and the temporary managers of these places are the governors, who will exercise management powers on behalf of the imperial court.

So that's the case. So, is the emperor going to hand over this matter to Ye Qingyun?

One Ye Qingyun is enough to deal with people like Gaoli. The imperial court only needs to set some rules for him, and he decides the rest. In this way, he doesn't have to be tied down and delay the handling of crisis situations.

Pang Yukun nodded. In fact, it is true. What they need is to set a national strategy, and the specific details are carried out by specific generals and officials. Otherwise, it is difficult for them to exert their talents.

Xiaguan, I will give Ye Qingyun a discount. Pang Yukun said.

After that, Pang Yukun turned around and left.

Watching Pang Yukun disappear at the end of the trail, Xiao Ming stretched and prepared to go back to rest. The two days by boat and train were really exhausting.

He never thought that when he walked out of the imperial study, he saw Chen Qi walking towards him.

Your Majesty, please see what this is? In front of Xiao Ming, Chen Qi took out something like a baby.

Seeing that the head was an iron block with a wooden handle underneath, Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and he said, Is this a grenade?

Yes, Your Majesty, this is the wooden handle grenade. After solving the problem of pulling the fire tube, this wooden handle grenade will not have any difficulty. Chen Qi looked relaxed.

Yes, yes, you are all grown up now, and even if I am no longer, I will be able to independently develop weapons. Xiao Ming is very pleased that the talent training in the past eight years has been worth it.

Chen Qi scratched his head, he said, Actually, this is still based on the information provided by the emperor. This fire tube is just a lead tube with broken glass. As long as you gently pull it, you can rub it to generate sparks. To be able to ignite the fuse, we use a fire lead that can burn for five seconds, and the fire lead will detonate the grenade after five seconds.

Xiao Ming took the wooden handle grenade and looked at it repeatedly and was very satisfied. In fact, the grenade has a long history, and China was the first to invent it.

In Europe, hand grenades only appeared in the fifteenth century, and were mainly used for fortress defense and prisons at that time. Until the middle of the seventeenth century, some European countries began to equip their elite troops with field grenades, and called soldiers who had been specially trained to use this kind of ammunition. for grenadiers.

The British Grenadier March was converted to a grenadier, but the grenades of this period were large and heavy, similar to the shot put.

So throwing grenades requires amazing arm strength and a brave heart, because grenadiers often have to throw grenades at the forefront.

This period lasted until the 19th century, but with the development of guns and the reduction of castle offensive and defensive battles, grenades began to be neglected, but in the First World War, due to the rise of trench warfare, grenades once again showed excellent results, The more typical grenades at that time were the German wooden-handled grenades.

Now Chen Qi is obviously making a grenade similar to this one.

Chen Qi, this grenade appeared at a very good time. Now the war in the south is in an endless cycle of trench warfare. The need is this kind of grenade. I will immediately ask the cabinet to assign a group of people to you, and establish a special grenade factory. From now on In the beginning, you have to produce grenades day and night to break the confrontation in the trenches in the south. Xiao Ming said excitedly.

Yes, Your Majesty. Chen Qi is a little flattered. Now his research on artillery is difficult. Although he has proposed a number of new types of artillery, due to industrial constraints, these artillery can not be manufactured at all.

And this grenade brought him back to glory.

Giving Chen Qi an approving look, Xiao Ming continued: I know that you are studying the issue of the breech gun. Don't worry about this, it will be done when it's natural.

Chen Qi showed gratitude, and he said, Thank you the emperor for your comfort, Chen Qi will definitely continue to work hard.

So good.

After talking about the production of the grenade, Xiao Ming held the wooden-handled grenade and not only felt a little itchy, he said, This palace is a spacious place, you might as well try the power of this wooden-handled grenade.

After speaking, the two left the imperial study and stopped in the small square in front.

Your Majesty, don't hurt yourself, just let the imperial guards try it. Knowing the power of the grenade, Qian Dafu was anxious for Xiao Ming.

For him, it was a bomb.

Xiao Ming ignored Qian Dafu, the protection measures of this grenade were still very comprehensive, just a delay of five seconds was enough for him to avoid danger.

It's okay, it's okay. Xiao Ming said as he unscrewed the safety cover on the grenade, and threw the cover away. There was a pull wire underneath.

He was also a little nervous when he got here. After all, he had never used this thing before. He did have the idea of ​​setting up grenadiers, but he also knew that Qingzhou's technology changed every three years, and soon it would be better and more suitable. The grenade, so he gave up the grenadier, because he didn't think it was necessary.

And now the appearance of the wooden handle grenade allows every soldier to throw it easily, which can bring out its true power.

Hey! Xiao Ming yanked the cable and yanked it, and cyan smoke came out of the grenade immediately, and he could even hear the sound of the fuse burning.

Seeing this, he suddenly threw the wooden handle grenade out.

Boom! A burst of smoke and flames rose from thirty meters away, and the shock wave of the grenade exploded directly to the turf on the grass.

Qian Dafu was so pale that he almost didn't sit on the ground, and a large number of guards swarmed over because of the huge movement.

Hahaha……

Xiao Ming and Chen Qi laughed heartlessly. There was a small pit where the grenade exploded, which was caused by the power of the grenade explosion.

They were all satisfied with the power of the grenade.

It's very good. In that case, we should produce it as soon as possible. Now the war in the south needs grenades to break the deadlock and reduce the casualties of soldiers. Xiao Ming pondered.

Chen Qi responded, arched his body, and walked out, preparing to focus on this matter during this time.

Sending Chen Qi away, Xiao Ming showed a smile on his face.

The wooden handle grenade was born, and the thermal power plant project was launched. After countless dark nights, he was soon able to see the light of electricity.

Once there is electricity, more technological items will be born, and he believes that the technology of Dayu Kingdom will always lead the world because of this.

Even if the six people who escaped taught all their knowledge to the Europeans, they would not be able to catch up with the speed of the Great Yu Kingdom, because it was not him who was working alone, but thousands of students working together.
