Although I didn't see a hand-cranked Gatling multi-barreled machine gun, this hand-cranked double-barreled gun did not disappoint Wang Yu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Seeing this hand-cranked double-barreled gun, Wang Yu remembered a kind of double-barreled, three-barreled or four-barreled bang-bang cannon on the ironclad ship in the late Qing Dynasty, with the barrels lined up side by side, the handle was shaken, and multiple barrels were fired in turn.

The kind of bang cannon is called the Nordfield cannon, and the Hatch Chase cannon, these two cannons are also hand-cranked, in fact, the principle is similar to the Gatling cannon, except that the barrel can't be rotated like the Gatling cannon.

Xue Fengzuo said with some disappointment: "This kind of gun can only be a theoretical weapon, if the barrel is installed, it will be easy to malfunction because the barrel is overheated, and the theoretical rate of fire can reach 100 rounds a minute, but it won't last long, the barrel will be too hot, resulting in the inability to fire, and the barrel will wear out too quickly, and the rifling is easy to grind." Therefore, it is necessary to make the barrel of the gun from steel, but if the barrel is made of steel, the cost is not only much higher, but also the rifling becomes more difficult. ”

"This weapon should be used in larger caliber, not as a gun, but as a small cannon. To make a machine gun that fires repeatedly, it is still necessary to go the way of turning the tube. Wang Yu nodded.

As for the real machine gun that uses gunpowder gas to complete the loading, bolt charging, and automatic shell throwing method, it still needs the further development of the steel industry to make it possible to create a real water-cooled heavy machine gun, or light machine gun.

Dai Cang sighed and said: "Such a powerful artifact has come out, but unfortunately the Tartar has been leveled, is it possible that the prince plans to use these powerful weapons to deal with the Han people?" ”

Wang Yu shook his head: "No, of course this domain will not use these weapons against the Han people!" Although the Tartars never had a chance to turn over, the war was far from over! Our next task is to concentrate on the outside world! The Rakshasas in the north, the Tessi in the west, and the Celestial Cultists, they are all our enemies! This domain wants to open up a vast world for my Chinese descendants, so that they can have more living space, after all, our earth is too small. ”

"The earth is so big, is it still small?" Everyone was confused.

In this era, it took months, even a year, for the fleet to travel from the east to the west of the earth, and the clippers could theoretically cross the Pacific Ocean in twenty days, and from the East to Europe in two months, in fact it often took more than a month to cross the Pacific Ocean, and at least three months to Europe. In the eyes of the world, the earth is huge. But Wang Yu knew very well in his heart that hundreds of years later, with the growth of population and the development of transportation, the earth became smaller and more crowded, and people of different races on the earth competed for limited resources.

If we fail to open up a vast world for the future generations of the Chinese people as soon as possible, and when science and technology develop in the future, we will have to pay a greater price, and the living space of the Chinese children and grandchildren will be compressed by the West.

However, what someone said that the outside must first be settled inside, in fact, there is still a certain amount of truth. Wang Yu's Nanyang Company has now launched a crazy shipbuilding plan, one after another third-class battleships and fourth-class cruisers have been launched like dumplings, and ironclad ships have also started construction in batches, and the next step is to capture Manila, completely control Nanyang, and bring the whole of Southeast Asia into their pockets. This will be followed by an expedition to India, and finally the powerful fleet of the Ming Dynasty will sail to the Atlantic.

Before attacking Manila, the first thing to do is to solve the internal problems. Today's world is divided, and warlords from all walks of life are in fact unconvinced, and a situation of warlord scuffle is about to appear. The first thing Wang Yu has to do is to solve the threat of Wu Sangui, as long as the most powerful Wu Sangui group is dismantled, the others will be easy to deal with.

To deal with Wu Sangui, on the one hand, he sent people to negotiate and ostensibly made certain concessions to Wu Sangui. Secretly engage in some more means, and as soon as Wu Sangui dies, the internal strife of the Wu group can disintegrate them.

To deal with the Han people, try not to solve it by force if it can be solved without force, and use political means to deal with it, and the soldiers will not be bloodless, and those warlords will be disintegrated one by one.

For the next period of time, Wang Yu spent every day in the gun factory, working with several scientists to develop new weapons.

"King Jin drove the crane west!" The Qiongzhou Army has not yet withdrawn from Tianjin, and a news that shocks the world has reached Jiangnan.

The news of King Jin's death reached the Shanghai Gun Factory, and Wang Yu learned the news and was filled with grief in his heart. Although he and Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, have not met many times, Wang Yu has always respected Li Dingguo. Wang Yu can be said to respect the national heroes of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who desperately maintained the crumbling Southern Ming court in the face of adversity, and would rather die in the wilderness than surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Hearing the news of Li Dingguo's death, Wang Yu shed tears.

"Xianggong, my sister's father-in-law died, I don't know how sad my brother-in-law should be. But the people have gone, and now that the Tartars have been leveled, the King of Jin can also be blind, and the husband does not need to be too sad. Zheng Yun saw Wang Yu crying and comforted.

"For the respect of my husband, Li Dingguo is a great hero of my Han people! He fought for my Ming life, and now the world is just peaceful, but he can't enjoy a few days of good life, it's really sad! Wang Yu sighed. Of course, he can't say that because in real history, Li Dingguo would rather die in the wilderness than surrender in the end.

"Xianggong should send someone to the capital to send a funeral to the prince of Jin, so that he can also have some comfort." Zheng Yun said.

Wang Yu frowned slightly: "The prince of Jin must have been loyal to Wu Sangui!" Originally, there was King Jin to contain Wu Sangui, but now Wu Sangui really completely controls the Son of Heaven and can command the world! If this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that there will be cannibalism between the Han people in the north and south of the river! ”

After the news of the death of the king of Jin came, the envoy who went to Tianjin to ask the Qiongzhou army to withdraw his troops sped up a little, and two days later, rushed to the camp in Tianjin.

"Withdrawal? Why are we withdrawing? Tianjin was fought down by us! It's okay to withdraw from Tianjin, but why should even Shandong give up? Hearing the order to withdraw the army, Wang [Fu] Chen said very unconvinced, "With the current strength of the marshal, I'm afraid that no one will dare to stop him if he wants to be called emperor!" ”

"General Wang! No disobedience! Yao Yi drank Wang [Fu] Chen, "Since the marshal ordered the withdrawal of the army, there must be his reasons, let's carry out the marshal's order." ”

"Master Yao, seriously, if the great commander is willing to be the emperor, we are all heroes, and Ling Zun is indispensable for a second assistant!" Wang [Fu] Chen said unwillingly. However, he was honest and carried out the order to withdraw the troops.

The speed of the withdrawal of the Qiongzhou army was slow, and it took many days to withdraw from Tianjin. At the same time as the withdrawal of the army, Wang Yu sent an envoy to the capital, on the one hand, to give a funeral to the Jin palace, and on the other hand, to negotiate with Wu Sangui.

After the death of Li Dingguo, Li Sixing, the son of King Jin, was named King of Jin by Yongli and took over the throne. However, Li Sixing has secretly expressed his loyalty to Wu Sangui, because his power is far inferior to Wu Sangui, in order to save his life, in order to keep his glory and wealth, Li Sixing chose to take refuge in Wu Sangui.
