Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 761 Gunpowder!gunpowder!gunpowder!

The weapons of this period mainly depend on two points for killing and wounding the enemy.

One is a sharp blade that stabs the enemy with the tip.

The second is to win by weight, relying on gravity to smash the enemy on a high-speed rushing horse, or in an impact battle.

For example, the meteor hammer that Tan Pingzhi likes to use is such a weapon.

When he first started working in Jingkou, Wang Mi once picked up Lao Tan's meteor hammer with his own hands. Before he could lift all of them, he realized that this divine object was definitely not within his ability.

Others Lao Tan can use a hammer with one hand, and dance like a tiger, but it takes a little trouble for his Lao Wang to hold one in both hands.

It fully shows that he is still a long way from a martial arts master.

It can be seen that in ancient times, not only during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but also later until the Song Dynasty, cold weapons were all based on their weight as an advantage.

It can exercise the arm strength of the generals, and the ability to manipulate heavy weapons with ease is also a sign of a mature and brave general.

In the current Beifu camp, Liu Yu, Tan Pingzhi, and Liu Laozhi were all such generals. Compared with them, Wei Yongzhi was a little weaker.

And these new weapons of Liu Yu Zhangluo, in Liu Yu's view, are simply fluffy, like toys.

Although Liu Yu had already seen the power of this new weapon on the Nanyang battlefield, he naturally had no doubts.

However, when he arrived at the training ground, he realized that it was not easy to convince the soldiers under his command all of these artifacts and learn how to use them seriously.

No wonder Wang Mi demanded from the very beginning that he must choose soldiers with agile and shrewd minds.

Several young generals, including Tan Pingzhi, Wei Yongzhi, etc., and even He Wuji made up the number, all lined up.

In front of the soldiers, he carefully explained how to use pistols and artillery.

On the Nanyang battlefield before, some soldiers have actually used pistols, but after all, these people are very few.

Scattered into the camp of Beifu soldiers, it would be like a mud cow entering the sea, and it would have no effect.

Not to mention, in the battle of Nanyang, the pistol team led by Wang Mi personally lost dozens of people, and their strength was even weaker.

Although the brothers explained very carefully, when it comes to the specific operation, the soldiers' movements are still full of ugly, and they can be done.

Liu Yu was okay. Seeing such a situation, he could barely suppress his anger, and he was still calm, although his face was already dark.

Lao Tan will not be.

He was always short-tempered, no one provokes him, and he often takes nameless fire.

Seeing that the soldiers are so poor, they are actually more stupid than him Lao Tan, so naturally they will not let it go, and they will be whipping wildly with the whip.

The little soldiers who were pumping were screaming, and seeing that the heat was almost over, He Wuji stood up and stopped him for a while.

Although hitting people is wrong, and several generals know it well, but sometimes, if you want to keep the rules in the army, this is some unavoidable means.

Sure enough, after this draw, the IQ of the soldiers skyrocketed, their movements were much more standard, and the hit rate was also higher.

That's what it looks like.

Several generals are busy teaching, their masters Wang Mi, Wang Shilang, what are they doing now?
After the soldiers lined up their ranks, they were also looking around, thinking that they could see the well-known Wang Shilang.

I heard that this servant from the imperial court, although he is young, is still a standard son of a noble family, but he is capable of both civility and martial arts, and it is not ambiguous to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Some of these soldiers had recently defected to Beifu, and they were looking at the victories of the Beifu army, which made them feel that they could also hope for military merit.

These young people have not seen the Wang Shilang yet.

I was planning to take this opportunity to have a good taste of Wang Shilang's style, but I didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Wang Shilang's handsome figure.

Instead, he was beaten several times because of his lack of concentration and irregular movements, which is very pitiful.

And at this time, where is Wang Shilang, who is highly anticipated by the public?
Of course he is busy with his work.

Pu Jiangzuo is a man of his words, and his work is reliable. Since he received a small money from Wang Hui, he has urged the craftsmen to work day and night to make weapons.

Once it is done, it will be shipped out, and if it is done well, it will not be delayed at all.

Wang Mi had just arrived in Jingkou for a day, and Puchao sent weapons one after another.

Although it is still far from Wang Mi's request, something is better than nothing, and Old Wang is already satisfied.

Early in the morning, he came to greet him near the fence gate outside the barracks. Seeing that most of the ox carts or sporadic carriages were gradually approaching the barracks, Wang Mi's mouth was so excited that his mouth was crooked.

"Okay!"

"Great!"

"Public craftsmen do things neatly!"

Wang Mi walked to the car and opened the boxes for inspection, not only to see the quality of these expedited weapons, but also the types of weapons.

According to the current deployment of troops in Beifu, the demand for pistols is still higher.

Compared with the pure consumable artillery, it is only used once, and the pistol still has a function of recycling.

If you can make more pistols, you need to make more pistols. Artillery is only an auxiliary function so far.

I just regret that, before I left, I didn't explain this matter to Pu Chao clearly, which was a mistake.

However, when the third box was opened, Wang Mi smiled.

Pistol, pistol, pistol!
After opening three boxes in a row, they were all full of pistols. Unexpectedly, Lao Pu actually had a good heart with him.

"How many artillery pieces are there?"

Looking from a distance, the weapons shipped from Jiankang this time are full of twenty large boxes.

Just don't know how many of them are pistols and how many are artillery pieces.

Now it seems that Puchao kept the artillery and pistol separately, which can be said to be intentional.

The person in charge of escorting the weapons was the apprentice of the blacksmith master Lao Wei, but seeing this kid quickly stepped forward, he respectfully said, "Reporting to the servant, there are only five boxes of artillery, all of which are at the end of the team, and the first fifteen boxes are pistols. "

"Public craftsman said that for the soldiers, it is more cost-effective to have a pistol. The soldiers also like it, so they urged us to make more pistols, and the artillery is also stepping up production, but it will be delivered later. ."

Wang Mi stroked his beard and thought to himself: This old Pu has a really good way of doing things, and he can actually take into account the feelings of the soldiers.

This point, even Wang Mi hadn't thought of it before.

It is also true that for the soldiers, it is the most practical to put a pistol in their own hands, compared to the useless artillery.

This is like the bows and arrows and long knives that you carry with you. They can be regarded as personal belongings of the soldiers, and no one can take them away, and no one can take them away.

Size is also an asset.

When you go into battle to kill the enemy, as long as you think that the powerful weapon in your hand belongs to you, your energy to kill the enemy will increase exponentially.

This is true even for modern warriors.

Otherwise, in the difficult period of lack of weapons, why would everyone compete for the crooked handle, the ninety-two style?

There are even Italian cannons...

"very good."

"You must thank Pu Jiangzuo for me when you go back, saying that he took a lot of care. With these weapons, the soldiers of Beifu will definitely attack the city and pull out the village, and the more they fight, the more brave they are."

The little apprentice kept nodding, agreeing happily, but didn't leave.

Why not go?

Wang Mi slapped her forehead and finally realized it.

"Come on, follow me to the big tent, I have prepared meals for you long ago, you are full, and it is not too late to go back after you have rested."

There is no reason to come from afar, but not to take care of the meal.

Someone is also happy confused.

He even wanted to send the brothers back to Jiankang without paying any money.

Wang Mi made a gesture of leading the way, but the little apprentice did not follow him.

What's happening here?
Why not go?
"Little brother, what's the matter?"

"Don't worry."

The little apprentice swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and mumbled a few times in his throat, but he still didn't say anything, just looked at Wang Mi with those pitiful eyes.

What does this say?

Is he so scary?

As for him being speechless?
It must not be something to his satisfaction.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Otherwise, don't listen.

Unfortunately, the little apprentice who had listened to his encouragement had already made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, Pu Jiangzuo wanted to remind Wang Shilang that if the money is not enough, he can reach out to Wang Pushe. "

"Now Wang Pushe has the final say in the court, and he has always been on good terms with the servant, and he will definitely give him money."

Wang Mi's face froze: "Could it be that the money your uncle sent is not enough?"

No way!
Pu Chao seems to be a very reliable person, and he doesn't seem to be extravagant. Could it be that something went wrong with his uncle Wang Hui?
Seeing that others have also come to Jingkou, they deliberately save money and deduct money?

The little apprentice hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's enough, it's enough now."

"According to the general craftsman, at least ten days are enough."

This is also surprising.

"Enough, why do you want me to ask Wang Pushe for money?"

Don't you know it's a very shameful thing to ask someone for money?
"We are all thinking about Shi Lang Wang." The little apprentice was extremely embarrassed.

"Public Craftsman said, making weapons and gunpowder is not an easy task, and it has to be carried out continuously. The expenses are like flowing water, and it cannot be all carried by the Langya Wang family."

"The soldiers of Beifu went into battle to kill the enemy for the imperial court of Jin Dynasty. Since these weapons were made for the imperial court, the imperial court had to spend money."

Although this is true, but can he get the money?
Besides...

"Since you are asking for money from the imperial court, this is also a matter of course, but why didn't the general craftsman go to the imperial court?"

"It's probably easier for the general craftsman to actually handle this matter."

As if he had expected Wang Mi to say this, the little apprentice was not nervous at all, but instead smiled embarrassedly.

"Public craftsman said it, it is best for the servant to talk about this matter."

The next words, even if it is a bit arrogant, if Puchao taught him to say so, then the little apprentice, even if you lend him a few courage, he will not dare to say it.

"Pu Jiangzuo said that the reason why the king's servants in the imperial court can be so smooth now is because the waiter took the initiative to retreat modestly and was unwilling to fight with him."

"Wang Pushe actually owes the Shi Lang a favor. It's a big favor. The Wang Shilang can't give him a favor in vain. He must find a way to get it back from him."

"Pu Jiangzuo knew very well that Wang Shilang was a thin-skinned and good-natured person, so he was embarrassed to do this, so he thought of a way for Shilang."

Wang Mi: "Little apprentice, isn't this your own words?"

"It's all what Pu Jiangzuo told you."

The little apprentice smiled: "It must not be the original words of Xiao, who has not read a book for a few days, how can he say such a reasonable thing."

"It's all taught by the general craftsman, but I also thought about it carefully on the way when I was young. What the general craftsman said is very reasonable."

"These money should have come from the court."

"As long as Shilang Wang opens his mouth, Pushe will definitely answer."

Unexpectedly, everyone really placed high hopes on him, Wang Mi, and he himself did not see that he has such great energy.

"You guys have a good plan." Wang Mi murmured.

Seeing that his face was not ugly, the little apprentice breathed a sigh of relief, and finally completed the task.

However, I seem to have forgotten something.

Just now, a light flashed in Wang Mi's mind, a thought flashed in front of him, and it was fleeting.

It seems that there is still something to explain to this little apprentice and send it to Jiankang together.

what's going on?

Seems to be related to weapons.

medicine!
gunpowder!

"Wait a minute!"

"Don't go yet!"

The little apprentice completed the task and was finally in the mood to eat. He was about to walk to the barracks when he saw Wang Mi quickly following him.

A nervous expression.

"gunpowder!"

"How much gunpowder have you made?"

How could you forget something so important!
How confused!
"Gunpowder?" The little apprentice was a little confused when he mentioned this.

"It doesn't seem to have done much."

"However, each gun comes with a gunpowder bag, which should be enough."

Enough shit!
"not enough!"

"It's still a long way off!"

Gunpowder is different from pistols. Gunpowder is fuel that needs to be constantly replenished. If it is not fully prepared, on the battlefield, once the soldiers fire their guns to high, the gunpowder will soon bottom out.

At that time, a pistol without gunpowder will become a piece of scrap metal.

"Then what should I do?" Seeing Wang Mi being annoyed, the little apprentice also started to worry.

As far as he knew, Jiang's workshop did not pay attention to the production of gunpowder, and the stock was running out.This is because of his own personal thoughts.

In his opinion, it is enough to equip every gun with a bag of gunpowder. Of course, it is easier to make gunpowder than to make pistols and artillery.

Therefore, in order for the soldiers to have a pistol as soon as possible, Puchao devoted all his energy to the production of pistols and artillery.

But forget that with guns, there are also ammunition.

Gunpowder needs to be replenished constantly, and there must be more inventory.

"Don't worry," someone also persuaded others not to worry, but in fact, it was himself who was worried.

"I'm going to write a letter to Wang Pushe, and I will definitely not let you guys run out of money!"

"Just tell Pu Jiangzuo that you must pay close attention to gunpowder. The gunpowder in the pistol should be replenished at any time. The more the better!"

good good!
The little apprentice nodded vigorously. Although he didn't hear it too clearly, he still knew that as long as it was something that Wang Shilang reminded, it must be passed on to Pu Chao without a word.

Weapons were continuously sent into the army tent, and He Mai sat in the warehouse, counting and recording everything clearly.

He was in a good mood, and he hummed the little tunes of his hometown.
