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

Zhu Youjian shook his head slightly:

"The three islands of Wangfuzhou are all defended by Yu Linwei personally, so there is no doubt about their safety.

Put this thing here with me...

Because I don’t understand the level of the craftsmen, I naturally don’t know what drawings can be produced at this time and what cannot be produced at the moment...

How about leaving it all to you!

In this way, our Ming Dynasty industry can take a further step forward.

If Song Qing's family is afraid of being lost, they can just add more security measures!

As for the Yulin Guards, I have already given instructions. If you write an application at any time, I will send you additional manpower at any time. "

The emperor said so, and Song Yingxing thanked him and took the drawing.

The two Bi Maokang brothers immediately came over.

A head full of green hair mixed with some white hair; two heads full of white hair mixed with a little green hair, close together.

"Xiao Song, this is ours, I'll take it first..."

"Xiao Song, this is a cannon, it belongs to us too, so I took it..."

"Xiao Song, I can see clearly. Isn't this from our side? Come to me quickly..."

Bi Maokang and his two men had fire in their eyes, wanting to snatch every drawing from their door...

"Don't grab it, don't grab it, let me see it clearly first!"

Song Yingxing was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, fearing that these two old colleagues would tear the drawings into pieces...

……

Wang Chengen watched quietly.

The internal supervisor also received a copy of the same drawing.

Your Majesty has designated an area in the mountains of Junzhou under the jurisdiction of the inner prison.

Those little eunuchs who are good at manufacturing are studying there!

It's a pity that during the battle to defend the capital, too many military supervisor Erlang died and suffered too much damage...

To this day, there is still no work that works well...

……

Zhu Youjian picked up the breech-loading minigun.

After coming to Daming, he got used to playing with guns. After weighing it slightly, he knew that this thing weighed about six or seven pounds.

A big craftsman standing next to him saw Zhu Youjian playing with guns and hurriedly explained:

“Your Majesty, this new gun is slightly heavier than the Fuhan Gun.

A single gun and one bullet weigh exactly six kilograms and seven taels.

If the bayonet and telescope are added, the total weight will be nine pounds and three taels of gold.

Calculated based on carrying thirty bullets when marching, it is just over twelve pounds. "

"Oh? And a bayonet?"

Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up. It seemed that the two Mr. Bi were very confident in this gun!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so neatly arranged.

……

Song Yingxing was surrounded by two old officials and couldn't get away.

But Bi Maokang and Bi Maoliang no longer put the emperor in their "eyes", and all they could see was that stack of drawings...

The great craftsman had no choice but to "do it for him" and explained:

"Your Majesty, you see, according to your wishes, we will change all the bayonet collars to stainless steel.

In this way, the bayonet can be put on the barrel of the gun and used.

In this way, not only can it be fired with a bayonet equipped, but it can also reduce the length of the wooden stock. "

The muskets of the Ming Dynasty had bayonets.

However, the bayonets at that time were either equipped on the butt of the gun.

When using it, you need to turn the gun upside down, hold the barrel and stab and swing it.

Or it is an internal insertion structure, inserting the bayonet into the muzzle.

The method of use is no different from modern times.

But, in this case, it would be impossible to shoot.

Unlike modern rifles, the design of the barrel extends beyond the wooden stock.

In the Ming Dynasty, the wooden stock was almost a full stock structure, which was basically the same length as the barrel.

The main reason for this is that the steel is not strong enough, so wooden supports have to be used for reinforcement.

The main reason for the difference between the above two points is not that people at the time were unaware of the disadvantages of doing so.

But - the steel produced in the blast furnace is not strong enough.

In other words, this is a desperate move.

As mentioned earlier, during the Ming Dynasty, weapons manufacturing was generally divided into three departments:

The first one is the internal prison, the second one is the civil servants, and the third one is the frontier army.

I won’t talk about Wen Chen’s production here – it’s a crappy thing, but it’s essentially a project to make money.

Almost all Ming Dynasty guns displayed in various museums today were produced by the internal prison and frontier troops.

As the saying goes, good steel is used in the blade.

In the manufacturing of muskets in the Ming Dynasty, whether it was made by the frontier army or by the internal supervision.

Because blast furnace steelmaking is not strong enough, when the gun barrel is made, it is hammered manually again.

This thing is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

These re-refined steels can only be used on the "blade".

That is, the barrel.

The bayonet is an accessory.

Whether it is the bayonet or the locking device of Zhao Shizhen's musket, they are all directly made from blast furnace steel.

Because of its insufficient strength, the Ming Dynasty bayonet could not be mounted on the barrel of a gun in the form of a wild card.

As a result, the bayonet can only be equipped on the butt of the gun or inserted into the barrel.

After Zhu Youjian established the Wangfuzhou Daming Royal Arms Manufacturing Bureau, he took out the hydraulic machinery.

Machine manufacturing is the most labor-saving.

Today, with the help of many great gods, Ming Dynasty has not only developed a complete set of hydraulic machinery.

Even machinery driven by steam engines was tinkered with.

Part of the drawings Zhu Youjian just handed over to Song Yingxing were drawn by Wang Zheng, a mechanical boss.

The use of a large number of machinery has enabled Ming Dynasty's steelmaking capabilities to develop rapidly.

Zhu Youjian looked at the great craftsman, skillfully stuck the three-edged bayonet on the barrel of the gun, and couldn't help grinning.

Who says that Ming Dynasty is not capable of innovation!

……

The Ming Dynasty was not without skilled craftsmen.

For example, Zhao Shizhen.

After Zhao Shizhen sent Wanli a memorial about how he tinkered with the Rumi gun, Wanli realized the power of this firearm.

This thing has a longer range and more power than a shotgun.

This is Zhao Shizhen's breech-loading gun and electric gun imitated based on the drawings. There are five muskets, which are preloaded with gunpowder. Adopt the principle of Fo Lang machine gun

To use the original words of Mao Yuanyi in "Military Bei Zhi" - "Only Lu Mi's cannon is the farthest and most poisonous"!

Wanli is not a fool, so he naturally understands the power of this thing.

So, [-] silver was immediately allocated for Zhao Shizhen to start manufacturing.

According to the cost of a gun at that time, it was between seven yuan and two taels of silver.

Based on this calculation, the money could be used to build at least [-] Rumi rifles, the most advanced rifles at the time.

Although compared to the time when the Ming Dynasty often had tens of thousands of Franco machine guns, it was a small number.

But it is definitely not a small gesture.

More than 1 soldiers armed with Rumi guns!

With some auxiliary troops, he can conquer half the world!

Who the hell knows...

Wanli appropriated the money, but officials began to slander Zhao Shizhen.

After months of procrastination, Zhao Shizhen didn't get the money.

This is also the consistent appearance of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty.

This group of idiots can create an "Apocalypse Explosion" in the coming Year of Apocalypse. Is there anything else they dare not do!
