Chapter 1386

"I know that what Wang Wushan and Shiyi Lang think and think is all for my Great Song Dynasty, so let's do it, I will allow you to send five, no, one hundred and fifty artillery pieces to the front line in Liaodong, but you must tell that kind of division that the people are in the artillery, and if the people are not there, the artillery will be destroyed, and the Liao people will not be allowed to get it."

"Minister, thank you for your grace, on behalf of my Great Song Liaodong soldiers, thank Your Majesty for your grace." Wang Yang was overjoyed, and immediately bowed his head, and the Son of Heaven, who was sitting opposite, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Don't do this, this is what I should do, maybe I am too cautious, this time let's see first, can these Yuanyou Shenwei cannons shock Liaodong and the world."

"Then why don't you give your majesty a little more?" Wang Yang heard the words of Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, and laughed and hit the snake with a stick.

Zhao Ji exchanged a look with Wang Daguan, and said with a thief smile. "That's right, the official family, one hundred and fifty Yuanyou Shenwei cannons, if they are evenly divided into three cities, one city is only fifty, and they also need to guard the docks and some key places, I am afraid that it will have to be at least doubled."

"You two guys are worthy of a pair of masters and apprentices." Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, shook his head with a little crying and laughing, stroked his chin and fell into a deep groan.

Zhao Ji hurriedly said again. "Official, the reason why only a few hundred artillery foundries have been built is not because of the difficulty of casting, but because I really don't know how powerful it really is? In addition, if it is not used, over time, this cast iron is also easy to rust after all. ”

Seeing that Wang Yang and Zhao Ji were both general rhetoric, and then recalling what they saw at the test artillery field today, thinking that once countless Northern Liao soldiers pounced on the Song army's position like wolves, and here, only needed to set up the artillery, fill it with shotgun ignition, and all of a sudden, within a hundred steps, there would be no living creatures, Zhao Xu was finally moved.

"Let's go, since both of you think so, then I'm right, but you two are responsible for this matter, if something goes wrong, I won't look for others, I'll find trouble for the two of you."

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Wang Yang and Zhao Ji almost couldn't wait to high-five each other.

After detailed consultations and repeated discussions, Wang Yang and Zhao Ji decided to dispatch only two calibres of artillery to the front line in eastern Liaodong in order to ensure that the pressure on logistics and transportation was reduced to the greatest extent.

It was decided that fifty light six-pound Yuanyu Shenwei cannons would be enough, while the second-type, that is, the twelve-pound Yuanyu Shenwei cannon, used two hundred, and there were also fifty twelve-pound Yuanyu Shenwei cannons with extended barrels.

The six-pound Yuanyou Shenwei cannon is a typical light artillery, and the total weight of the barrel and the gun carriage is only 700 catties, although the power is far inferior to the twelve-pound Yuanyou Shenwei cannon, but it is convenient and flexible.

As the main artillery of the Great Song Dynasty Yuanyou Shenwei Cannon, it is the 12-kilogram Yuanyou Shenwei cannon, and now the 12-kilogram Yuanyou Shenwei Cannon of the Great Song Dynasty is divided into an extended version and a regular version, the regular version of the 12-kilogram cannon weighs 1,200 kilograms, plus the gun carriage is only 2,000 kilograms, and the direct firing range is 250 zhang, that is, a distance of 700 meters, and its maximum projectile range can reach seven miles.

The barrel of the long-barreled twelve-pound gun has reached a weight of nearly two thousand catties, and the direct firing range has reached one thousand meters, which is the direct firing range of two miles, and the projectile firing range has reached an exaggerated nine-mile land, but the projectile is completely meaningless, because there is no target at all, just a maximum firing range is calculated.

In addition, after Wang Yang secretly communicated with Zhao Ji, he decided to give the navy of the Great Song Dynasty ten thirty-pound short-barreled naval guns and ten twenty-pound naval guns.

The length of this 30-pound naval gun is only nine feet, and the weight of the cannon body is only 1,000 catties, although its firing range is only about one mile, but the exaggerated muzzle diameter, if it is loaded with chain bullets or shotguns, is absolutely a nightmare existence in the face of any enemy who dares to engage in broadside combat.

The length of the 20-pound naval gun is more than 9 feet, reaching 1 zhang, and the weight has also reached 2,300 catties, and the firing range is twice as long as that of the 30-pound short-barreled naval gun.

Of course, these two batches of naval guns were transferred to the Jiaodong Navy in the name of test guns.

However, because the artillery units of the Great Song Dynasty have been in a state of strict secrecy so far, this time the transportation of artillery to the front line in Liaodong is naturally the way of the Wanhong Trading Company, and it is still water transportation.

And the team that operates the artillery is a carefully selected 3,000 elite directly from the Imperial Front Ranks, and is named the Imperial Front Artillery. is directly responsible to the Son of Heaven, not to mention the Ministry of War, and even the Sanya and the Privy Council have no right to intervene.

And this time, it will be accompanied by 300 artillery pieces, which will be the elite artillery of the 1,000-trained Imperial Front Artillery Squad. The general who commanded them to go to Liaodong, Wang Yang finally finalized Guo Qi, the father of Guo Shang, who was the Tanhua of the imperial examination this year, and is now the deputy commander of Yuanyou Shenwei Artillery.

The establishment of the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty is naturally different from that of the infantry army, each artillery piece is counted as a team, the commander is the artillery commander, and the ten guns are a capital, which is responsible for the head of the capital. Every 50 guns are a battalion, and a battalion is placed under the command of a battalion. Three hundred guns, that is, six battalions, under the command of the deputy commander of artillery.

Wang Daguanren, an old driver who has a lot of opportunities in the day, finally appeared in Taixue again, and during this time, he was really busy as a dog.

Especially for the secret transportation of the Yuanyou Shenwei cannon, it is really heartbreaking to be with Zhao Ji, the king of that end. Finally, after a few days of busyness, things were almost decided, so I rushed back to Taixue to deal with those shelved affairs.

It took a whole day to deal with everything, and then Wang Daguan breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the gate of Tai School.

A group of students, seeing the only double-material champion of the Great Song Dynasty, are too learned and righteous, and they all saluted respectfully for the first time.

Even in the direction that Wang Daguan didn't notice, there were countless students who saluted this way, and the eyes that looked at Wang Dazheng one by one were full of admiration and pride.

It can be said that the prestige of Wang Daguan in this Taixue is definitely more awesome than that of the Great Song Emperor, and now, the learning atmosphere of Taixue is much better than the original.

And even those nerds in the past, the daily morning exercise was particularly like asking for his life, but now, they are very proactive, and many students have taken the initiative to sign up for various sports competitions in the school such as archery clubs, and they seem to be eager to be as civil and military as Wang Daguan.

And Wang Yang even heard that some students are ready to wait for the next science, not only to participate in the literary examination, but also to participate in the martial arts.

Slipped out of the gate of Taixue in a leisurely manner, Wang Daguan couldn't help but be stunned, he saw a young man squatting next to his carriage.

It's none other than Guo Shang, Xu Heng, and Zhe Keqiu, who have become excellent martial artists in the Great Song Dynasty after participating in the martial arts before, and Zhe Keqiu and others, at this moment, the thirty-seven or eight young people are all squatting together, and the ghosts and ghosts don't know what they are muttering there, and after seeing themselves, they all stood up......
