Several guns, firing at the same time, can make the shells fall within the same range, which is not an easy thing for the Ming artillery team.

At the beginning of the defense of Beijing, the general Mangui and Jiannu fought fiercely, and the artillery brothers of the Beijing camp in the city opened fire to cheer, but all the shells fell in the Mangui army, which frightened Mangui into a cold sweat and quickly retreated.

The artillery team of the Five Loyal Army, trained by Chen Yujie, naturally would not make such a joke, but the artillery regulations of the Ming Army were different, and it was easy to say that the same cannon was put together, and it was not necessarily far from each other if they were loaded with the same gunpowder.

After watching this round of shelling, Wang Yan generally knew that the regulations of the four guns were basically unified, which showed that Song Yingxing had really solved many problems.

At this time, Chen Yujie waved the small flag, a cavalryman with a few flags immediately from the artillery placement, urging the horse to run out, his horse speed was very steady, the time was silently counted in his heart, estimated to a mile, he planted a flag, and then continued to walk, and then inserted, when he galloped to the small pit where the cannonball smashed out, seven flags had been planted.

When the craftsmen and soldiers saw this, their faces were immediately full of excitement, and they couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers, because everyone was counting them, and there were seven flags in total.

Of course, this is an upward fire, not an effective range, with the artillery reform carried out by Yingyi at the same time, the types of artillery are standardized, the eighteen-pound long gun, the vertical fire can reach 12 miles, and the effective range is more than 4 miles.

Wang Yan smiled: "Shoot seven miles away, and within three miles, you should be able to smash bricks and stones." Okay, you've done a good job this time, and you all have to take credit. ”

The Hongyi cannon can only fire solid bullets, and its role is mainly aimed at the city, and it can break bricks and stones within three miles, which is the effective range.

Legend has it that during the Battle of Ningyuan, the effective firing range of the Ming army's Hongyi artillery could reach more than four miles, but in fact, most of the Ming Hongyi cannons generally had an effective firing range of two or three miles.

"Xie Gebu." Song Yingxing immediately led a group of officials from the cannon casting workshop, and the craftsmen said in unison.

Wang Yan walked up to several craftsmen and immediately ordered: "From now on, you must forge the cannon with your heart, see what problems still exist, and continue to test the cannon, and observe the change in range by increasing or decreasing the amount of medicine, and find out the best amount." This cabinet does not urge you, do it carefully, once the standard is set, it is a great achievement, for the first meritorious person, this cabinet mentions it as engaged in from the nine products of the Ministry of Industry, understand? ”

Shinong industry and commerce, craftsmen ranked third, but the actual status is actually worse than the merchants, because the merchants at least have money, life is nourishing, and the Ming Dynasty commodity economy is developed, people live extravagantly, plus the merchants and the gentry collusion, so the worker is the tail of the crane deserved.

It is difficult for craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty to be officials, but there is no problem with being officials, but there are exceptions, Xu Gao, a Ming man, was born in carpentry, but he was appreciated by Ming Shizong, and the official was still in the Ministry of Works, and he achieved the ultimate in craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty.

Several craftsmen immediately responded in unison when they heard the words: "No." ”

Wang Yan watched for a while, Chen Yujie adjusted the angle again, put a few rounds, and the performance of the artillery was quite stable, so he immediately began to test the system again.

The Bird's Beak Gun, the Lumi Gun, the Electric Switch, and the Xun Thunder Gun have all been tried, among which the Xun Thunder Gun seems to be fierce and is known as the Five Unifications in a row, but it is time-consuming to reload, the range is limited, and it is basically not suitable for actual combat; The electric switch with six sub-guns has the best performance, but the process is complex, and the imperial court has no ability to produce it; The bird's performance was average, and finally Wang Yan set his eyes on Lu Mi Gong, and "Wu Bei Zhi" also said: "Bird Gong, only Lu Mi Gong is the farthest and most poisonous." "However, there is also a problem with the Lu Mi gun, that is, the cost is much higher than that of the bird gun, the key parts are made of copper, and the process is more complicated, but it is much simpler than the electric gun, but it also requires a lot of silver.

Then the most critical problem is that the imperial court has no silver, so Wang Yan had to order Song Yingxing to continue to make bird guns, he was itchy to see it, but he was also helpless, 50,000 new pawns were recruited, but there was no one yet.

In fact, there has been progress in firearms now, but it is worth noting that the armor of the soldiers should also be strengthened, and it is basically difficult for the Wuzhong Army to meet the Qing soldiers wearing double armor, especially when the heavy armored cavalry penetrates the large array, and basically every time there are heavy casualties.

At this time, although both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties used a large number of firearms, but after all, firearms did not reach the point of being alone, although it should be valued, but not superstitious, after all, when the Qing cavalry rushed to the front, it was still necessary to let the soldiers, use the body to resist, with spears, knives and other cold weapons to fight, artillery muskets are far from completely replacing bows, crossbows, knives and axes.

To resist the impact of cavalry, it is best to have a heavy infantry, so that whether it is facing Qing cavalry or hand-to-hand combat, it will be a killer weapon in Wang Yan's hands, but the key problem is that there is still no money.

Wang Yan returned to the city, did not go back to the house, but went to Wenyuan Pavilion, he handed over the horses, walked inside, and went directly to the second floor to find Su Guansheng, but Su Guansheng was not in the office.

After some inquiry, he learned that Su Guansheng was summoned by the emperor, and he did not go back to his office room, but sat in the small meeting hall and waited.

After waiting for a long time, Su Guansheng came back in front of the saint, as soon as he came upstairs, he saw Wang Yan eating pastries and tasting tea alone, Su Guansheng smiled without walking over: "Shiheng is leisurely, is this hall used as a tea shop?" ”

Wang Yan had only drunk some gruel before the early dynasty, and he just took the opportunity to eat some pastries to fill his stomach, he was not in the mood to joke, and got up and said, "Su Gebu is back?" Hiko has been waiting for a long time. \u000b Su Guansheng just said a joke, and was about to go back to work, but he didn't want Wang Yan to be waiting for him, so he had to walk to the small council hall, sat down opposite Wang Yan, and asked with a smile: "I was discussing in the palace, and suddenly heard a burst of cannons, Your Majesty also asked why the cannons were fired, I estimated that it might be Shiheng testing the cannons outside the city, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon." What do you think? How about the cannon? ”

"The cannon is good, it can be said that it is very good."

Su Guansheng nodded, "Before and after, I am afraid that tens of thousands of taels were spent on the account of the Wuzhong Army, and 30,000 taels were also allocated by the household department. By the way, what is Shiheng waiting for me for? ”

Wang Yan said with a smile: "Now that the cannon casting workshop has made the sample cannon and the sample gun, and the effect is also very good, Su Ge Lao will allocate another tens of thousands of taels of silver to make a batch as soon as possible." ”

Su Guansheng originally listened carefully, but when he heard this, his face turned pale, and he stood up and drilled into his room, Wang Yan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly bypassed the table, pulled his sleeve, and said: "Pavilion Lao Mo wants to be angry, dial a little bit~"

Su Guansheng struggled for a while, but he couldn't break free, so he had to glare at Wang Yan, turned his head and said: "It's not a system, it's useless for Shiheng to pull me, I want silver, not a tael." ”

As a bachelor who supervises the finances of the Longwu Imperial Court, and is also a scholar of the Ministry of Households, Su Guansheng can be described as a dismal business, the imperial court has been in Guangjing for a few months, and he has to spend money everywhere, he is forced to ask for money by people from all walks of life every day, and finally saved some money, Wang Yan wants to fight Zhangzhou again, and it is exhausted again.

Wang Yan saw Su Guansheng's appearance, but he didn't give up, he had eyeliner in the household department, and knew that there were more than 300,000 taels of silver in the treasury.
