"Your Majesty, this is the first batch of flowering bombs with fuses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the military workshop, Chen Qi led Xiao Qi to the warehouse, and on the ground where a lot of muskets and ammunition were piled up, he saw the neatly placed flowering bullets in the corner.

Because of the flowering bomb, Xiao Ming asked Lu Fei to delay the time of attacking Jinzhou, but the army was very expensive outside, and it would not be good for anyone to continue to consume it.

What's more, the Japanese state of the Goryeo Peninsula is eyeing the war, and he wants to end the war in the north as soon as possible and open up the situation for the colonization of the Great Chongqing State.

At this time, Chen Qi picked up a flowering bullet from the ground and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Majesty, this batch of flowering bullets is still made of hollow iron balls, but the wooden cork tube of the iron ball has been replaced with the current mechanical fuse. “

Black cats and white cats, the ones who can catch mice are good cats, Xiao Ming ordered: "You let the artillery demonstrate it now, I want to see how it is?" “

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Qi nodded and ordered someone to carry out the shells on the ground.

When the group arrived at the shooting range, under Chen Qi's order, the artillery replaced the solid bullets with flowering shells, and the order of loading was completed, and with a roar, the shells rushed straight to the stone mill five hundred meters away.

The flowering bullet that rushed out forcefully hit the stone, and the firing pin in the fuse slammed into the thunder mercury, instantly detonating the cannonball, and with a "boom", the flames surrounded the stone and the stone flew everywhere.

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction, in the past, only mortar cannons could fire flowering shells, but now all smoothbore cannons can fire flowering shells.

For the Navy in particular, the way they fight will change substantially.

In the past, the battleship fired only solid bullets to hit the opponent's ships with holes, which rarely caused the battleship to sink, but now it is different, if the ship's guns are loaded with this kind of flowering shells, it is undoubtedly a nightmare for the enemy, and the flowering shells will directly sink the opponent's battleship.

"After the first batch of shells was delivered to Pingzhou City, you immediately sent this flowering shell to the navy." Xiao Ming frowned slightly, he still remembered the last time the battleships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom and the British warships met at sea.

If the British battleships were to fire at them again at sea, he assured them that the Qingzhou battleships would wipe them out.

After the first test shot was successful, Chen Qi continued to test fire six shells, and all six shells exploded, indicating that the reliability of this kind of shells is still good.

"What about the mines I asked you to make?" Xiao Ming asked at this time.

Chen Qi picked up a hollow bullet from the box that was different from the flowering shell, the hole of this hollow bullet was obviously large, the size of the fuse was larger than the flowering shell, and the protruding surface of the shell was very high.

"Your Majesty, this is to make it easier for barbarians and horses to detonate mines, and the lower officials make the fuses of mines much more sensitive, and the weight of soldiers and horses is enough to detonate." Chen Qi said seriously.

Lu Tong was responsible for supplying the mercury, but he relied entirely on him for the manufacture of the shells, but with the maturity of iron mold technology and the use of steam engines, they were much easier to produce than before.

Xiao Ming smiled with satisfaction, history proves that the change of weapons has led to a change in the situation of the war, in the past, it was the West that used naval artillery to conquer the world, and now it is the turn of the Dayu country led by him to formulate international rules.

Like the flowering bomb, Xiao Ming also asked Chen Qi to demonstrate for himself, at this time Chen Qi asked the craftsman to bury the mine under the soil layer, and then a craftsman stood far away and threw an iron block into the soil layer where the mine was buried.

As the pieces of iron fell on the mines, the ground exploded, and soil and flames flew away.

"Very good, now how many shells and mines can you produce in a month." Xiao Ming asked.

"Three thousand pieces of each is still fine." Chen Qi said: "Now the military workshop is full of guns and bullets, and there are not enough people. ”

Frowning, he looked at the courtyard of the military workshop, the military industry that was established at the beginning was also barbaric growth, in his opinion, with the modernization of weapons, this military industry should also be regularized.

So he said: "I will assign another group of people to you, and you and Song Changping will be responsible for splitting the musket, artillery and ammunition workshops and performing their own duties, so that the efficiency of the three workshops can come up." ”

Chen Qi immediately grinned, he was envious of this vigorous slave tide, but he ignored it because he was busy developing the fuse.

Now that Xiao Ming said this, he naturally followed his wishes.

The new type of artillery shells is progressing rapidly, and Xiao Ming is also in a good mood, because it means that he can defeat his enemies more easily and gain more markets for the Great Yu Kingdom.

After inspecting the shells, Xiao Ming inspected the musket workshop and the artillery workshop, and now the production of these two workshops is very stable.

The Musket Workshop has been producing and modifying the Capture Muskets, while the Artillery Workshop has focused on the production of field guns and naval guns, but they have also been designing and developing the next generation of muskets and guns.

However, it will take some time for the product to come out.

"By the way, now your military workshop can send craftsmen to Pingzhou to train the soldiers and teach them how to use these two weapons, and when your first shells arrive, the Battle of Jinzhou can begin." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, the emperor, the lower officials will arrange it."

Satisfied with the current production progress, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu left the military workshop and returned to Qingzhou City.

As soon as the two entered the city, they found that the streets of Qingzhou were in a chaotic manner, and the streets at this time were full of merchants, Confucian scholars, and ordinary people, and in the chaos he heard shouts and scolding, cheers and fights from time to time.

"What's going on, go and ask." Xiao Ming said to Qian Dafu.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qian Dafu answered, walked up to a guard who was maintaining order, and asked sharply, "What are your guards doing, why is there such chaos in this city?" ”

When the guard saw Qian Dafu, he showed a nervous look, and he said: "Manager Qian, this is really not the fault of the guard, the chaos in the city was caused by the merchants and the Confucian scholars, and it is said that it was caused by the arguments between the Confucian scholars and the merchants. “

"Confucian scholars and merchants?" Qian Dafu was stunned for a moment, and vaguely guessed something.

The guard continued: "Yes, it was originally a brawl between two people, but now it has become chaos in the entire Qingzhou City, and merchants and Confucian scholars have gathered a large number of people to fight in the city. ”

Qian Dafu knew it in his heart, and he returned to the carriage and told Xiao Ming the reason.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming showed a contemplative expression, there are still some discerning people among this businessman, and for the rising capital, the celestial theory will undoubtedly completely break the shackles that have bound them for thousands of years.

That's why they're so supportive of celestialism.
