I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"I am the Chief Military Officer of Jizhou in the Ming Dynasty, you have no right to kill me!"

"If you want to kill me, you must report it to the capital and let His Majesty decide!"

"You are exceeding your authority, you all say something, he is exceeding your authority, if you kill me today, you can kill you tomorrow with a small excuse!"

Wang Bao really didn't expect that Sun Chuanting, this little-known former soldier of Shanhaiguan, actually had the courage to kill himself directly.

He is not reconciled, he has only been this general soldier for half a year, and he hasn't enjoyed anything yet!

I just killed hundreds of ordinary people, but I am the commander of the Nine Sides, so what can I do with the heads of a few people?

The current Wang Bao looks a little crazy.

Sun Chuanting stood on the general platform, looked at Wang Bao who seemed to be insane with cold eyes, and after a while, he cast a glance to the north, clasped his fists in the distance, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting's actions beyond his authority are all for the sake of pacifying the Western captives. After this battle, he will go to the capital to plead guilty, so as to reassure the army!"

After saying that, he turned around, looked at Wang Bao who was sneering, and shouted:

"Wang Baozong's soldiers harmed the people, behead them!"

The situation at the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain had been passed down from mouth to mouth among the Ming troops in the camp as told by three soldiers of the Qin Army. No one could believe that the Jizhou soldiers would do such a thing.

For this kind of person, no one will not give up.

Two soldiers of the Qin army stepped forward, held Wang Bao firmly, swung the goose-wing knife, and then swung it down violently, as if the whole world was clean.

Wang Bao's head rolled down, and blood gushed out.

Zhang Wanbang found that Sun Chuanting was different from what he had imagined. He was born as a literati, but he was able to throw a pen into the army and watch his head beheaded without fear.

Such a literati is rare in the world!

It seems that today's emperor is still very accurate in judging people. Perhaps this Sun Chuanting really has two brushes?

Thinking of this, Zhang Wanbang took the lead in saying:

"Good kill!"

Xu Shouhui and Weizhou defender Han Rong also agreed.

"The supervisor killed well!"

Sun Chuanting nodded to the three of them respectively, and ordered:

"This time, the Jizhou soldiers don't have to go. The rest of the troops gather the soldiers and horses, bring the supplies and the ordnance, and the governor will swear an oath to go out here in three days!"

"If you don't destroy the captives in the west, you will never return them!"

Everyone was moved by this atmosphere of looking at death like home, and the generals of the Ming army from all battalions raised their swords and guns and shouted loudly.

"If you don't destroy the captives in the west, you will never return them!"

"If you don't break the captives, you will never return them!!"

At night, when Sun Chuanting returned to the tent, his tense face eased, and he sat down on the chair and let out a big breath.

In front of these generals, you have to pretend to be like this, as long as you have the slightest sign of weakness, they can ride on your head.

After a while, Sun Chuanting took a pen to the desk and wrote the memorial seriously.

After standing upright this time, he can already see that although the generals are arrogant and domineering, they have a solid military spirit. Compared with Wang Bao, all the generals have military achievements and have their own arrogant capital.

As for the soldiers from all over the country gathered under the imperial edict, except for the soldiers from Jizhou, the rest are all elite, armed with long spears, steel knives, blunderbusses and cannons...they are all the latest military weapons of the imperial court.

Sun Chuanting was very nervous to lead these brave and skilled fighters out of the customs.

It has been nearly five years since the reign of Apocalypse, and Sun Chuanting knows that the current emperor's efforts to rectify the Nine Frontiers, and the decadence of Jizhou soldiers after the Liaodong War are all due to Wang Wei's death in battle.

But he could also see that the Mongolian iron cavalry that the various tribes of the Western Captives boasted every month and month were nothing but a rabble of fancy but useless people.

Thinking about this contest with Xilu, there is no need to worry too much.

……

When the memorial was sent to the capital, Zhu Youjiao watched the demonstration in Xiyuan.

Although Zhu Youxiao appeared calm on the surface, he was even more excited than Bi Maokang in his heart, because he knew what it meant to Daming.

The content of the demonstration is the latest firecracker of the Armaments Department. The success of imitating this kind of firecracker is as important to Ming Dynasty as the imitation of the Dutch ship-borne gun and the city's suppressing gun.

This is a truncated firecracker, which is different from the quick-firing birdgun that is commonly equipped with the infantry today. It is specially developed by the Armament Division for the cavalry.

Today's first batch of [-] truncated guns was inspired by the Galen battleship of the Royal Netherlands Navy captured in the Battle of Penghu.

Soldiers of the Ming Navy found a delicate small box in the captain's cabin of the Galen battleship, which contained this truncated firecracker.

On the first day of junior high school, this kind of firecracker looks like a bird blunderbuss cut off in the middle.

Such a short and exquisite firecracker, at first many people just regarded it as a decoration worn by the Dutch nobles, but Bi Maokang of the Armament Department accidentally fired it once and found that this kind of firecracker was very powerful.

The moment the short shot was fired, Bi Maokang had an idea in his mind.

If this kind of short guns can be equipped with cavalry, then the cavalry will have the ability to attack from a long distance. Before the battle, aim at the enemy's front door for a round of rowing guns, which will be a devastating blow to the enemy cavalry.

So if this kind of short gun can be applied to the frontier army, will it make the Ming cavalry have some power to fight back when fighting the Eight Banners cavalry?

Even, take advantage! ?

As soon as they said it, Bi Maokang and Bi Maoliang called Xu Guangqi, and then called the Portuguese introduced by the Bucarao Cannon Factory in Macau, as well as the craftsmen of the Armament Department, to work together.

This study lasted for more than a year.

Fortunately, since Zhu Youxiao set up the Military Weapons Department, he has never lost money from the Military Weapons Department, and has the support of the imperial court, which makes them get twice the result with half the effort.

Then, a "bang" came from the hand of Jin Yiwei who was riding a horse. The entire Xiyuan was silent for a while, and then there was a loud cheer.

Bi Maokang, Bi Maoliang, and Xu Guangqi, as well as a group of craftsmen who have devoted their efforts to this, all wept with joy and looked at each other without saying a word.

From April of the third year of Tianqi to July of the fourth year of Tianqi, the new short gun has experienced countless failures and countless setbacks, and finally succeeded in the trial today!

July 22nd in the fourth year of Apocalypse, this is a memorable day!

"Your Majesty, please name this blunderbuss!" Bi Maokang held the first complete blunderbuss produced by the Armament Department, and respectfully presented it to Zhu Youxiao.

On his face, the traces of the years are very obvious.

Zhu Youxiao once remembered that when Bi Maokang was summoned for the first time to be entrusted with an important task, his temple hair was not so gray yet, but now he looked like a very bad old man.

"Ai Qing, get up—"

Zhu Youxiao personally supported Bi Maokang, took the short blunderbuss in his hand, and compared it with the seized Dutch blunderbuss on the side, then laughed.

"Look, what's the difference between these two short guns?"

Everyone saw that Captain Galen's blunderbuss was short and powerful. Not only was it powerful, but the most important thing was that it was extremely delicately made. It looked like it was worn by a nobleman.

Compared with this gun of the Military Weapons Department, it is like a crooked melon.

Listening to everyone's speech, Zhu Youxiao couldn't stop smiling, and said: "Yes, our gun is really ugly!"

"However, I will be equipped with this gun."

"This short gun will be my imperial preparation from now on. I believe that in the future, I, Da Ming, will make a hand gun that is more practical and beautiful than the red-haired ones."

Hearing this, Xu Guangqi reminded Bi Maokang:

"Your Majesty gave it a name, and it's called Hand Gun."

Only then did Bi Maokang come back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving the name, this short gun will be called the hand gun from now on!"

Chapter 519 The Rise of the New Cavalry

About 100 years ago, this truncated musket became popular among the German cavalry and infantry. This is the first version of the pistol - the revolver.

Later, Germany fought with France, and the German cavalry, which used revolvers as their main weapon, became more and more courageous as they fought, and beat the traditional French cavalry without any firearms to the ground.

Affected by this war, Europe began to pay attention to the revolver, and the inventor John was also called into the court by the German emperor to become a personal attendant, and made a revolver for the German army.

The tragic experience of the French army marked the rise of the new musket cavalry.

Since then, the traditional cavalry has suffered repeated defeats in Europe and almost disappeared, while the new musketeer cavalry, mainly equipped with revolvers, has gradually become the mainstream.

It is worth mentioning that the French king, who had suffered repeated failures, soon decided to hire a considerable number of cavalry of the same type, all of which were equipped with revolvers.

Later, this kind of employment really worked, and France gradually eliminated the traditional cavalry, which was expensive to maintain and had low combat capabilities, and incorporated musketeers into the standing army.

European countries have followed suit, preparing for those who have not been beaten, and those who have been beaten. Just like France, they will spend money to introduce Musketeers.

In this way, the revolver soon became the main weapon of European cavalry.

In the fourth year of the apocalypse, traditional cavalry has almost disappeared in Europe, and almost all European countries have a considerable number of musket cavalry as a standing army.

However, the rotary flint gun is not perfect. It is not only complicated in structure, expensive in cost, troublesome to use, but also cannot reliably fire when there is pollution on the steel wheel.

As a result, European countries began to develop new "ignition" methods.

Soon, the Spaniards living on the Iberian Peninsula invented the flintlock. They removed the spring steel wheel that originated from the clock, and instead clamped a piece of flint on the jaw of the hammer.

If you need to shoot, pull the trigger, and under the action of the spring, the flint will be hit heavily on the side of the fire door, sparks will come out, and the gunpowder will be ignited.

This firing mechanism is called a percussive flintlock, and a firearm equipped with a percussive tunneling mechanism is called a percussive flintlock.

The percussion flintlock gun greatly simplifies the shooting process, improves the firing rate and shooting accuracy, is easy to use, and has low cost, which is convenient for mass production.

At present, the cavalry and infantry of European countries are almost universally equipped with quick-fire guns. The last time they were captured on the Galen battleship was naturally the second-generation revolver.

In addition, the Armament Department had already completed the imitation of the sudden-fire device in the second year of Tianqi, so it is not surprising that it cannot use the original firing method to directly make a sudden-fire handgun this time.

Sometimes, innovation is necessary, but it depends on the situation.

In this year, if you want to study this thing by yourself, you have no experience and no knowledge. Bi Maokang only improved the matchlock firing method of the original bird gun ten years later in history, which is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

It is naturally the safest way to directly learn from the practices that have been formed in the West.

Besides, western countries don't seem to pay much attention to the dissemination of equipment technology. As long as you are willing to learn and the other party has money to make, then you are willing to teach.

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao is quite proud.

After all, it was his own time travel that made the appearance of Suifa Gun in Daming more than ten years earlier, and developed the Zhenlu Cannon and handgun that had never appeared in Daming in history.

For the handgun, Zhu Youxiao is full of expectations.

Although this thing has not been seen in actual combat, it can be popularized in Europe, and even replaced the primitive cavalry in 100 years, which shows that it must have good combat effectiveness in the hands of cavalry.

The experience of those who have been there is here. If short guns are useful in the hands of infantry, why are the main musketeers in European countries now using long-barreled guns?

So Zhu Youxiao has nothing to hesitate, just put it on the cavalry.

In any case, this is the era of firearms, this is the era of great voyages, and the way of the Qing Dynasty is destined to be abandoned by the world.

The Ming Dynasty could not go and learn from the Tartars, what kind of heavy cavalry, what kind of riding and archery to establish a country, wouldn't that mean abandoning the basics and chasing the end, and being self-styled?

At times like this, you should not be ashamed to ask.

Let's learn what other people are advanced, and we don't hesitate to spend some money, because after you learn military technology, you can use it directly.

In other words, what is sent out can be called back.

But if you are reluctant to spend even this little money, have you always been suppressed by the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia, and missed the opportunities in today's world?

Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood. He developed a pistol to deal with the cavalry that the Qing Dynasty was so proud of.

The one-sided scene of the German and French cavalry confrontation between old and new cavalry seems to be in sight.

"Decree, all the craftsmen who participated in the development of handguns in the Armament Department will be credited once!"

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked at Erbi who was under the steps, motioned them to stand up, and said with a smile: "For four years, I have always owed you a reward."

Before the two of them could speak, Zhu Youxiao continued in an uncompromising tone:

"Listen!"

Hearing this, all the people bent down and waited for the order.

Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly:

"The development of the suppressing gun, the development of hand guns, and the use of nine-sided ordnance all depend on the talents of the two. I am in a very good mood today, and count the merits!"

"Bi Maokang, grant the crown prince the grand teacher, and continue to preside over the Armament Division."

"Bi Maoliang, give the crown prince the grand tutor, assist my brother, and manufacture high-quality firearms for Daming. Don't be stingy with money, you will gain only if you lose!"

The two looked at each other and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the emperor's kindness is so great that there is no way to repay it!"
