Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly and couldn't help but high-five him in praise.

He waved his hand and said loudly: "Here comes a group of soldiers, come and try out the new guns!"

Following the emperor's words, the guards picked up new guns one after another, loaded them with bullets, lined up in a row, and stood still with their guns in hand.

After loading, the emperor personally held the red flag and waved his hand.

"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"

There were bursts of gunfire.

There were bullet holes in the wooden rake jungle thirty feet away.

All around the red heart.

God!

The crowd was stunned.

Even Bi Maoliang and Bi Maokang were shocked when someone reported that the wooden target had been shot.

Surprisingly, all of the guards around the emperor have the ability to defeat an enemy with a hundred steps?

Oh my god!

……

The flintlock rifles improved by Bi Maokang and the two men were not only long guns, but also handguns.

Zhu Youjian asked someone to test the gun again and found that the accuracy of this thing was not good.

Of course, if it is at a distance of more than ten steps, you can basically hit wherever you point.

However, the advantage is that it is not afraid of light rain, and the reloading speed will be much faster.

After all, there is less time to light the match and adjust the length of the match.

You know, the ignition pool of the musket is only a little larger than a fingernail. Whether the Vulcan is too short or too long, it will not be able to fit into the ignition pool.

Therefore, the musketeers need to adjust the match rope every once in a while...

Zhu Youjian asked carefully.

According to the two of them, it is just an improvement of the impact mechanism. Although it does not help the range or power, it increases the rate of fire by a full third!

……

Inside the workshop.

"Two noble families."

Zhu Youjian looked at the busy craftsmen in front of him and asked Bi Maoliang:

"How difficult was it to make this flintlock gun?"

"It's so simple!"

Bi Maoliang picked up a flintlock gun and a matchlock gun, pointed at the dragon head, and explained:

"Your Majesty, this matchlock gun uses a faucet to clamp a matchlock, hit the ignition pool, ignite the gunpowder, and then transfer it to the gun chamber, ignite the gunpowder, and the gunpowder pushes the projectile out."

"And the flintlock gun just replaces the match rope on the dragon's head with flint.

Then the elasticity of the steel leaf spring is increased, and the flint is hit hard on the chopping board, sparks are rubbed out, and the gunpowder in the trigger pool is ignited.

Other principles are the same, the only difference is that the strength of the spring needs to be strengthened. "

The matchlock in the picture above and the flintlock gun in the picture below are not very different.

"Is this difficult?" Zhu Youjian asked.

After all, the former only needs to ignite the gunpowder, with or without a spring.

The latter relies on the strength of the spring to create sparks.

The issue of spring steel is very difficult!

After all, this involves the quenching process.

Bi Maoliang laughed:

"It's not difficult. Isn't there a craftsman who can make a soft sword? If he can make the steel, he can make a spring leaf."

Soft sword?

Zhu Youjian was stunned.

Worri, why did you forget this thing?

According to this, does the blacksmith who makes the embroidery needle use the standard steel to make the firing pin for the copper-cased bullet?

Zhu Youjian only felt that Bi Maokang's words opened a door to a new world for him.

He suddenly remembered what an old reader of his had once discussed with him.

According to what that guy said, the drilling technology used in ancient Chinese mines can be used to excavate oil...

This is such a misunderstanding!

He thought of the green vitriol he had buried in the palace.

The reaction between green vitriol and high temperature is sulfuric acid...

This thing is one of the three acids.

Three acids and two bases are the basis of industry.

Can I just try to get others to develop these things?

The hydraulic machine is already in hand. All you need to do is take out a stack of blueprints from the drawer. What about hydraulic textile machines, hydraulic spinning machines, and hydraulic grinders? It all depends on how many workers there are.

Here in Guanghua, there was a very large cement factory in later generations - one of the branches of Gezhouba Cement Factory.

The mine is located in the mountainous area at the junction of Pengjia Town and Hubei.

It’s only forty miles away from Guanghua!

If we build another steam engine...

No, even a horse-drawn train can directly bake cement.

Then we started blast furnace steelmaking...

"Fuck!"

Zhu Youjian slapped his thigh, which startled everyone. The ministers looked at each other and saw that the emperor was lost in thought again...

Zhu Youjian thought:

Cement, steel, and textiles are the troika.

It can be said that the symbol of the first industrial revolution was the mass production of this thing.

The cotton grown in Nanyang is second only to Xinjiang.

This is the basis of textiles again!

The most important thing is that cotton is a summer crop and does not delay the planting of wheat!

In this way, people have sweet potatoes for their livelihood, textiles for making money, cement for auxiliary services, steel for the military, and Yuan Datou for the economy...

I am Nima!

If I can't defeat the Manchus, then I'll find a tree with a crooked neck and hang myself!

……

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian no longer had the intention to continue reading.

He immediately stood up and said:

"Ni Hubu and Bi Menghou, follow me back to camp quickly!"

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Behind him, the ministers hurriedly followed.

Night had just enveloped the earth, and Zhu Youjian had already led everyone back to the Guanghua County Government Office, which served as the palace.

"Lao Fang, go to the study room and bring me all the drawings tied with red ribbons in the hidden compartment on the third floor of the second bookshelf!"

Zhu Youjian shouted hurriedly before he could take a sip of tea.

Fang Zhenghua left in a hurry.

Zhu Youjian asked the young eunuch to bring the brocade stools and asked everyone to sit down.

He looked directly at Ni Yuanlu:

"Ni Hubu, I have given you the full authority to make money. With my portrait on the front, there is a circle of official script below - one or two new coins in the 17th year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

On the back is the sun and moon flag, the new flag of the Ming Dynasty, and then there is a sentence written - those who destroy it will be punished a hundred times, and those who mercenary will be killed! "

Just as Ni Yuanlu was about to take the order, Fang Zhenghua had already walked over with a large stack of drawings in his arms:

"Your Majesty, it's all here."

Zhu Youjian nodded, reached out and turned it over, pulled out a silver dollar with exquisite graphics, detailed dimensions and casting methods, and handed it to Ni Yuanlu.

Ni Yuanlu received the order and returned to his seat to sit down.

Zhu Youjian looked at Bi Maokang.

He left Bi Maoliang to preside over the overall situation on Wangfuzhou Island, and brought Bi Maokang back.

"Old Bi, do you know anything about Huang Daopo's loom?"

When Bi Maokang saw that the emperor had brought the drawings, he consciously took out his glasses and put them on his head.

Hearing this, he replied:

"Your Majesty, I can only make it. After all, this thing is not difficult. As for improvement, I really don't do much research and don't know the principles. It is difficult to improve in a hurry."

With His Majesty's methods, as long as it is mentioned, it must be improved.

If Huang Daopo made looms and spinning machines, he would naturally do it.

However, improvements…

He is not that professional!
