Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Your Majesty, could you please tell me what the weakness of this weakness is? Is there any way to do it?"

Some generals are thinking carefully, while some generals cannot fall into thinking at all.

They are born rough and do not know how to think with their brains. Fighting on the battlefield is their destiny.

"The first step is to fortify the wall and clear the country. Before the enemy comes close to Pingnanguan, we will send people to seize the pass and all the residents to intervene. The city will seize all the food outside the pass to let the enemy come, not even a blade of grass. If you can't eat it, the horse will starve to death."

"The reason why all the residents outside the pass are moved into the pass is that when these rebels are hungry, they can't even find a place to grab food. They have no choice but to eat dirt."

Ning Fan spoke out his thoughts, which immediately caused the generals to laugh. Of course, these smiles were not mocking. After all, they did not dare to laugh at Ning Fan. The reason why they laughed was because Ning Fan's words were indeed too much. Funny.

"Your Majesty, we understand what you said. All available materials outside the city will be moved to the city so that when the enemy comes, there will be nothing usable."

A general stood up and said loudly.

"Yes, that's what it means. If you have enough time, you can destroy all the large forests and grasslands. In this way, you can put the enemy into various resource crises as much as possible."

Ning Fan was very calm. When he introduced the generals, he calmly watched the heated discussions among these generals while he observed silently.

The reason why Ning Fan was able to discover General Chen Qiao before was actually the result of Ning Fan's secret observation. He found that Chen Qiao didn't like to talk and laugh with the people around him most of the time. He mostly sat in the corner alone. He slowly thought and concluded.

A person who likes to consider all the details before doing things, the results of doing things will often not be too bad, and a person who does not think at all and does things completely based on instinct, then the results he receives will often be bad. It's just unsatisfactory.

Everyone knows the principle of thinking before you act, but very few people can actually do it.

"Okay, Your Majesty, we all know it. Among all the people in Pingnan Pass, I think Your Majesty is the smartest. No wonder Your Majesty can be the emperor."

A general said carelessly, but as soon as he said this, he was immediately scolded by Huang Chao. The general blushed and stepped aside in embarrassment.

"We've almost finished talking, let's let General Huang give us the specific tasks."

Although Ning Fan is the emperor, Huang Chao is the marshal, so Ning Fan can still raise the prestige of the dynasty at the appropriate time. He handed over this part of the task to Huang Chao to emphasize that the dynasty is still the leader of the Pingnan Pass Army. Commander.

Ning Fan, the emperor, sometimes needs to establish his majesty, but he is not above the dynasty. He does not need to step on Huang Chao's shoulders to establish his own majesty.

After leaving the city wall, Ning Fan, surrounded and guarded by the Jinyi Guards, came to a dense forest not far from the palace. This dense forest was lush and lush. Ordinary people would probably get lost if they walked in, but Ning Fan made a lot of mistakes in it. After half an hour of trekking, we finally arrived at an empty valley.

There are hundreds of large and small tents stationed in this valley, and there are many soldiers in the tents in twos and threes. There are many targets hanging in the open space not far away, and soldiers are practicing shooting. .

Not far from the military camp, there is a brand new arsenal. These arsenals are run by top blacksmiths. They are responsible for researching and updating muskets every day, constantly increasing power and accuracy.

Of course, the main drawings and main conceptual principles used by these craftsmen to study muskets came from Ning Fan.

Ning Fan gave them a general direction, and they were responsible for turning Ning Fan's ideas into reality.

"Your Majesty, this is the seventh-generation musket. It was developed in the past two days. You can take a look."

Seeing Ning Fan arriving, several generals from the firearms camp hurried over to greet Ning Fan and gave him the newly developed muskets.

In fact, the update and iteration of firearms is on the one hand to strive for excellence in craftsmanship, because as long as the craftsmanship keeps up, the accuracy will keep up.

If only the manufacturing process has increased and the materials science has not changed, then the durability of the musket will not be very long. It will often explode after being fired a few hundred times, and even injure soldiers.

Ning Fan made a classic musket in the hands of the player. Judging from the appearance alone, this craftsmanship can be called a work of art. However, when Ning Fan carefully observed the hardness of the steel, he was slightly disappointed.

Because Ning Fan can tell the hardness of good steel at a glance. As long as the hardness is high enough, the manufactured musket will be durable enough and more precise.

In fact, with the level of manufacturing technology and industrial technology at this time, it was already pretty good to be able to produce such a gun with gunpowder-driven steel balls.

Ning Fan tried to charge the gun in his hand. After filling the gunpowder, Ning Fan put a steel ball on the muzzle of the gun. This was the simple principle of firing the gun. Ning Fan aimed at the target in the distance and hit it. After one shot, the bullseye of the target was directly penetrated.

After seeing this result, Ning Fan was quite satisfied. The power of such a gun was acceptable and its accuracy was amazing. The only drawback was that the speed of applying the medicine was too slow.

Of course, there is another biggest drawback, that is, once it encounters rain or snow and the gunpowder gets wet, the gun will be completely useless.

"You continue training."

Ning Fan was slightly disappointed. After all, it was not easy to make the gun as small and exquisite as it is now. However, these craftsmen did not proceed from reality, and these craftsmen had already gone astray.

In fact, Ning Fan has already seen that the route taken by these craftsmen is to strive for exquisiteness, and they have not researched and developed the use of muskets.

In Ning Fan's opinion, a firearm has several elements. The first is that it must be accurate enough and lethal enough. This is the first point. The most important thing on the battlefield is the lethality, being able to penetrate the enemy's armor. Only muskets can kill enemies on the battlefield.

After the musket has the lethality and accuracy, the next step is to study how the musket can be more durable and reload faster.
