please make me king

Chapter 146 Gun Mount
Taking advantage of the absence of the female relatives in front of Zhang Shun, Xiao Qinhu, with his big head on his head, looked around cunningly, and then mysteriously took out something and handed it to Zhang Shun.

Seeing how funny he was, Zhang Shun also became curious, and opened the wrapped cloth to see that there was a dry object inside.The front is full of thorns, like a small mace, with a strip of dried meat attached to the back.

Zhang Shun picked it up and smelled it, there was a fishy smell, as if it was really dried meat.Zhang Shun asked strangely: "Second brother, what is this thing? Why did you give it to me?"

Xiao Qinhu smiled and said: "This is the tiger whip that the third brother killed the tiger last time. I specially made it and kept it. Second brother, I have been working hard all day long. I am not close to women, so I can't use it at all. Things. Seeing that the third brother’s face is pale today, it is suitable to make up for it with this thing, so as to ensure that the younger brothers and sisters will be tamed and obedient in the future.”

Before Xiao Qinhu finished speaking, Zhang Shun pulled his face and pushed him outside.While struggling, Xiao Qinhu tried to persuade him: "Everyone is a man, what's so embarrassing? Although I don't know if you recognize it or not, at least if we are brothers, will the second brother cheat you?"

Zhang Shun was so angry that he had to turn his face and said: "You are a bachelor, so you don't want to get involved with my brother's family affairs. Regarding the matter of men and women, I guess you have only seen wild dicks mating, what a big-tailed wolf!"

After finally blowing this guy away, Zhang Shun turned around and came back, just in time to see Li Sanniang and Zhu'er coming out with tea.Li Sanniang saw the guest leave, and asked strangely: "Where is the person? This makes us boil water and make tea, so it's a waste of time?"

"Ah? The second brother just left because of something urgent, and I can't even stay!" Zhang Shun said hastily.

"Oh, it's getting late, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Li Sanniang asked, "Is it the same as last night?"

"Ah? No, no, let's eat light today, another day, another day, and eat wine and meat!"

The next day, Zhang Shun woke up, feeling much better in spirit and full of energy.So I happily went to deal with yesterday's affairs.Due to the inhumane incident with the Xing family, Zhang Shun was not planning to leave Zezhou for the time being, so he took the opportunity to arrange for his generals to find some carpenters.

It turned out that after Zhang Shun got a lot of silver taels, he became dissatisfied with the original delivery cart.The four-wheeled trucks of this era do not even have a steering system. The four wheels can only run forward and backward, and cannot turn left and right.

If you want to turn, you can only rely on the brute force of cattle and horses to complete it.As a result, the ox carts under Zhang Shun's command were bulky and slow, making it difficult to keep up with the speed of the team.Before, they only had some food, and their own force was strong, so no one dared to make a move against them.With so many silver taels now, Zhang Shun had no choice but to defend himself, so he came up with the idea of ​​improving the vehicle and enhancing its mobility.

These four-wheeled ox carts are commonly known as "Taiping carts". People at that time had a song saying: "Taiping carts, don't run around, and go straight in the south, east, west, and west."Expressed in the image, it is difficult to turn to the problem.

When Zhang Shun came to the supply camp, Chen Jindou had already led a dozen or so carpenters waiting there.These carpenters are holding tools such as saws or planes, and some wooden accessories, semi-finished products, and finished products are scattered beside them.

Zhang Shun looked at a big wheel first, then asked: "Who made this? Can you explain it to me?"

At this time, an old carpenter took a step forward, and said a little timidly, "Your Majesty, the young one did it. What's the problem?"

"Just explain it to me casually, after all, I don't understand this, I want to understand!"

"Ah? Well, well! This wheel is called a big wheel, and it is used to make a carriage. There is a formula in the skill called 'nine rims and eighteen spokes, one hundred and eight generals'. The nine rims are the nine pieces of wood outside that make up the wheel." "The eighteen spokes are the eighteen spokes of the car inside; as for the one hundred and eight generals, they are the one hundred and eight iron nails outside."

"Oh? Then why do you want to do this? Is there anything special about it?" Zhang Shun, as a person of later generations, likes to ask why in everything.

"Uh, that's what the patriarch taught, and we also do it, so what's the reason?" The old man was a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment before replying, "However, according to my experience, the quality is the best. Old man, I also made wheels with eight rims and sixteen spokes, but they often cracked, so I stopped doing them later.”

Does it make a difference?Zhang Shun was puzzled.So he picked up the wheel with nine rims and eighteen spokes and put it on the ground to roll it. After some research, he really found out the reason.It turns out that when the wheel with nine rims turns to the overlap between the rim and the rim, there is just a rim above the wheel that pulls the wheel structure horizontally; The top is also just a lap joint, which is easy to break due to uneven force.

Zhang Shun was happy with the results of his research, and was about to put down the wheel in his hand when he suddenly remembered something.He remembers watching movies and TV works in the late Qing Dynasty in his previous life. He remembers that the Western cannons at that time were all two big wheels with a cannon in the middle.

The technological development of the later generations has been advanced for more than two hundred years. If there is something to be desired, why not order the craftsmen to imitate a cannon carriage according to the law and try it out?
The wheels happened to be ready-made, two sets of carriage wheels, with a diameter of five feet, and the size of later generations is 160cm.Then, according to Zhang Shun's request, the carpenter found another piece of solid elm, cut it clean, and installed it on the axle.

Afterwards, Zhang Shun ordered someone to bring over the three-inch caliber tiger squat gun, and tried to let the carpenter install it on the sports car.Since Zhang Shun had no earpieces when he cast these tiger crouching cannons, he had to ask the blacksmith to make three iron bars and hoop the cannons to the elm wood of the cannon carriage.

In order to adjust the natural muzzle orientation of the cannon, the carpenter used an ax and a plane to cut and smooth the section on the axle before hooping the cannon.Zhang Shun was very happy after the cannon integrated with the cannon cart was finished, and it almost looked like the cannon of later generations. Zhang Shun was very happy, and quickly ordered Li Shi'an to take him to the school field for a test shot to see the effect.

As a result, as soon as the gun went down, the artillery rolled back a long way.Zhang Shun saw that it was quite convenient to use, but he couldn't resist the recoil.So he ordered the carpenter to cut a hole at the end of the gun mount, and then nailed it to the ground with large iron nails, and tried again, and achieved good results.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but excitedly clenched his right fist and hammered his left palm, thinking: I didn't even think of such a simple structure.With this thing, our artillery will be invincible in the world!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun quickly ordered the blacksmith to forge some iron pieces to strengthen the structure of the cannon, and generally studied how to tow this cannon easily.
