It's no wonder he asked, it's like a yellow wheel gun or a chain musket, the rate of fire and ease of use are far better than the arquebus. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Even if it only plays the effect of counter-shooting, and the army is not all stupid, where will no one propose? But after the proposals, after careful calculation, they were all rejected - the whole army was redressed, and it was expensive.

After listening to what Jian Chen said so much, General Lang felt quite knowledgeable, and he should not not understand this question.

So there was a hint of excitement in his heart, he thought that if he couldn't even think of this problem, then he wouldn't have thought that the spear stab could change the military era, and the junior brother opposite should not be the kind of person who can't talk about the real thing.

Chen Jian calculated that now that crucible steel can be produced, the difficulty of the whole gun or the most important point of the reed and hammer structure is not a problem.

But nowadays, there is no such thing as standardized and universal parts, and it is all up to the craftsmen to knock it out, which is the most expensive part.

After thinking for a long time, Jian Chen stretched out two fingers and said, "Thirteen silver coins each." ”

"A full set?"

"Yes. Including wood, iron, and the wages of craftsmen. There are also spear spurs, but it is impossible to be as sophisticated as this one, the firing rate can be guaranteed to be seventy percent, and if the gun stabs are made of iron, it can be cheaper. ”

Lang Jiang hesitated, compared to the price of an arquebus of about four or five silver coins, it was still much more expensive, and if the rebate was squeezed out, the difference would be even more.

Of course, he is not qualified to make a decision, just ask, find an opportunity to use a special channel to talk to those who can decide.

However, this price is still much cheaper than the rest of the various exquisite spontaneous fires, especially if you dare to guarantee a seventy percent fire rate, which is enough to change everyone's doubts about the failure to fire in the battle.

Jian Chen added: "Don't look at the price, it seems a little expensive, but do you think, how much does a spearman's iron armor cost?" When the time comes, the iron armor is saved, and a homeless man is captured, trained for three months, and issued a military uniform, a bar of soap, and food, sixty rounds of lead bullets, and three pieces of flint, and then he can go to battle. In this way, it still saves a lot of money. ”

Lang Jiang smiled: "I can't make a decision, this needs to be argued and discussed by the people above." The price is really not expensive, it's just ...... It's just that this matter involves too much, and it's not just a matter in the military. This kind of thing may be simple on the side of Qi State, but in our case, it is still a little troublesome. By the way, don't you own a glass workshop? ”

"Yes. So in fact, I am not qualified to mass-produce munitions, but as long as I pass, I can produce them. It will take at least some time to train a group of craftsmen. I wondered if I could get permission first, and then customize a batch in batches, so that I could immediately increase production when I really needed it. ”

General Lang laughed, shook his head and said: "You are taking advantage of the loophole, let me agree first, and then go to the Quartermaster Department and the Ministry of Industry to obtain qualifications, and finally build a workshop for production?" ”

"Sort of. The blacksmith can make guns, but if you make hundreds or thousands of guns at once, if you don't say it, you will be sentenced. Besides, if it flows into the Qi country, it will be punished for treason. ”

General Lang nodded, knowing the seriousness of the problem, especially after Jian Chen explained to him the combination of guns and bayonets and the effects of the dense military formation.

Once the Qi State first equips such an army, then the consequences are really unimaginable. Once the army is formed, 10,000 is worth today's 20,000, or even more.

"Who did you talk to about this gun?"

"There are many people who know guns, and there are many people who know guns, but there are not many people who know how to use guns and guns."

"You are not the only smart person in the world, if someone knows about this thing, sooner or later they will think of the transformation of the military formation."

"No way, I'm not a blacksmith. I'm a disciple of the Academy, and I can explain why, but I have to rely on a blacksmith to get started. ”

"Since your father is an officer, and this musket is better than the arquebus on the ship, why don't you let your father talk to the people in the navy first? This doesn't make sense, could it be that your father is in the Navy, but he is dedicated to thinking about our Army? Didn't the navy shout all day long that it really wanted to fight with Qi in the future, and it was okay to rely on the land and navy that accompanied the ship? Doesn't it mean that our army only needs to be responsible for suppressing the riots in the country? It's interesting, these two things were sent by the son of a naval officer. ”

Jian Chen spread his hands and said, "I told my father and showed him the gun, but he said...... It is said that in the future, the navy only needs to know how to operate artillery, and the use of guns is outdated. ”

"! If he was in the near sea, he might have to rely on an arson ship, but if he was in the far sea, he still had to rely on a chord battle, and the string would shoot in array on the bow of the ship, wouldn't he even understand this? ”

"I think my father has a point. Can you give me a pen and a piece of paper? ”

General Lang nodded, and someone behind him quickly sent a pen and paper, and Jian Chen drew a ship on the paper and said: "My father has been in the navy since he was young, and he rose through the ranks by military merits, so he naturally knows how to fight at sea better than me. ”

As he spoke, he enriched the ship, and General Lang lowered his head and was a little surprised, the ship on the paper was not the kind of big ship equipped by the Navy at all, and it looked very strange.

The ship was not high, and the wide bow and stern towers were reduced -- the reason why the navy had previously clamored for the army to be responsible for suppressing the riots was that the navy's thinking was to treat the ship as a floating fortress on the sea and a battlefield where soldiers could shoot and fight.

The ship on paper was narrower than what was equipped today, and it was noticeably fast, and it had many hatches drawn on the sides, and circles arranged in them to look like cannons.

After roughly finishing the drawing, Chen Jian pointed to the ship on the paper and said, "My father thinks that the future naval battles should be this kind of ship, and try to avoid string battles." Equip the side of the ship with a lot of cannons, and do this when facing the enemy......"

Picking up the pen, he drew a classic T on the paper, and then used his finger as a compass cross to draw the range of fire of each ship.

"Once you encounter an enemy, immediately seize the upper hand. Treat all the ships as if they were ...... Well, if the musketeers lined up in a line. Judging from the thinking of the army, it is self-evident what the consequences of attacking the enemy who is still marching in columns. ”

"The big ship is in the middle, and the smaller boat with the fast speed is on the wings, taking advantage of the speed advantage to quickly outflank. Concentrate on destroying the enemy's ships and destroy their flagships before the enemy can also deploy, and even if the enemy deploys, they are downwind and difficult to adjust their position. ”

"If there are enough cannons, twenty ships lined up in a line, five or six hundred cannons can be fired in an instant, and even the largest ships can hardly withstand such a shelling."

"Actually, the Navy is the same as the Army. If the army had flintlock pistols, the tactic would definitely be to make the front wider and wider in order to concentrate all the firepower in an instant. Regardless of the hand-to-hand charge on the opposite side, the ten-layer gunner is completely different from the three-layer gunner, because only the first three rows can shoot. ”

"The same is true for the Navy, once lined up, the equivalent of half of the fleet's artillery is in use and not idle. Whoever can shoot the most buckshot and cannonball in an instant will dominate the victory. ”

"My father thought that if the flintlock pistol was given to the navy, the navy would pay more attention to the sequential warfare, and it would pay more attention to turning the ship into a moving bastion, which would be disadvantageous in the long run."

"On the contrary, if it is handed over to the Army, once the Army's military formation changes, it will also attract the attention of the Navy. Since the army can concentrate its firepower after lining up with flintlock pistols, it is natural that the idea of fighting in battle will evolve when used in the navy. ”

"I think that at that time, my father was first a Chinese national, and then a naval officer, so he would have such thoughts."

General Lang nodded frequently when he heard it, but when he heard the last sentence, he mocked: "As you said, your family is really full of loyal martyrs and role models for the countrymen?" ”

"That's just the way it is. Is this any good for my father? Once the navy changes its tactics, then the navy's dream of building a land war navy will be shattered, and the navy can only be reduced to a real navy, and its hand cannot be stretched out to land warfare. For the Navy, this is intolerable, so the person who made the proposal will naturally be snubbed, which is a betrayal. ”

"Betrayal? Hmph, that's right. First the navy and army, and then the Chinese people. ”

"That's right. The navy is no longer the gunners and hand-to-hand combatants in the navy who decide the outcome of the artillery, so it will be difficult for the navy to create a land navy, at least without a name. Under this kind of game, it is China that wins and loses the navy, and my father's future may be bleak in his life. How could my father not know this? So you say that we are a role model for our countrymen, and I will not refuse this. ”

"Then why did you come to us?"

"How can I participate in the conflict between the interests of the army and the navy? Throw the problem at you and let you toss it. ”

General Lang joked: "Actually, you can pass this method to the Qi people, anyway, once you change your tactics, these ships will probably fall behind." Let the people of Qi use the battle line you said to win, and it will naturally change, anyway, they don't dare to go ashore, they can't beat our army, and by the way, they can build a batch of new ships. After I was hurt, I realized that I was not on the right path. Besides, it can't shake the country's capital, and there is wood, and three years is a new fleet. ”

Jian Chen was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, so General Lang shook his head and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but isn't it just talking nonsense?" Who can guarantee it? ”

"Then as you joked, give these things to the people of Qi State. They are stupid, maybe they will really be fooled, rebuild ships, waste financial resources. ”

"It's just talking, the battle between land and sea, the bottom line is still there."

"But I know you won't let go of this opportunity to deprive the Navy of building a land navy."

"What's in it for you?"

"I'm a countryman."

"And then?"

"Many nobles of the Hou Bo Kingdom fled to the Qi State, with a huge wealth and many precious metals. Once unified, they will all like expensive glass. ”

"You don't hesitate to build guns to sell glass?"

"It's a pity that those Hou Boguo are gone, otherwise I would have built a gun workshop first."

"What do you want?"

"Ordnance Workshop License."

"What else?"

"Like the big businessmen, a chartered trade license. Allow me to go to Qi to sell non-contraband items. Within three years, a sanatorium for honorary servicemen will be donated, and a certain amount of amputation anesthesia will be provided every year, as well as some topical potions for officers to prevent infection. Some of these have already been shown in the Academy, and they work well, so you can ask. ”

Chen Jian thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, you can also build a secondary school, and the children of officers will be given priority to enroll, I can guarantee that they will receive an excellent education, and once the military status is reduced after the war, they will still be able to live in peace, and they will live well." You can also ask about this. ”

Lang Jiang smiled and said, "I can see that you think you have a good reputation in the Academy Palace?" ”

"Okay."

"The Academy Palace is not far from here, I will find out soon."

"Can I go now?"

"No, I can't. Just wait. This matter is not so simple, even the balloon matter also involves a lot of things, and a statement needs to be discussed. ”

Finally, he glanced at Jian Chen, picked up the gun and drawings, and said to the people around him: "Prepare some food, don't be lazy." Except for not being able to leave here for the time being, the rest are free. ”
