Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 351

[Chapter 351 Sharp Weapon]

?”   Wang Ying looked at the things on the drawings with a puzzled expression.   During this period of time, apart from being busy in the Military Division, he still tried his best to squeeze out time to attend lectures at the Science and Technology School, and mastered a lot of novel things.   Therefore, he is no longer blind to the drawings given by King Yan.   Instead, you can judge one or two based on what you have learned.   ”Guess right.”   Zhao Xu smiled, and not long after Ma Han left, he came over with the blueprint.   Now that the news of Beidi’s development of artillery has been confirmed.   He had to be vigilant and maintain his dominant position in artillery.   Otherwise, it will only depend on how his four northern counties can fight against a Beidi empire.   Therefore, it is imminent to increase the range and power of artillery.   So he thought of hydraulic boring machine.   This is a lathe for cutting the barrel of a gun.   In the eighteenth century, Watt used a hydraulic boring machine to cut the inner wall of the steam cylinder.   Of course, the boring machine was used to cut the inner wall of the gun before.   Due to the process of casting cannons, the inner walls of generally cast cannons are somewhat uneven.   In this way, when the shells fly out, they will encounter resistance, which will shorten the range of the shells and weaken their power.   And if you want the gun bore to become smooth, you have to use a boring machine.   Furthermore, if the hydraulic boring machine is built this time, in addition to cutting the inner wall of the artillery, it will also lay the foundation for the four counties to manufacture steam engines.   Maybe it won’t be long before you can try the steam engine.   At that time, the four counties will officially enter industry from handicraft industry.

Such a future is wonderful, but technology has to go step by step from scratch.

At present, it is better to get out the boring machine first, if the cutting of the gun bore is successful.

There will be no big problem in making cylinders for steam engines in the future.

“It can only be said that it is very similar to a hydraulic rotary bed, but the shape of the knife is a little different.” Wang Ying rubbed his chin.

Zhao Xu nodded, the end of the drill barrel was pointed.

Because the steel of the barrel is solid, a hard drill is required.

But what the artillery needs is to scrape the inner wall of the gun bore, so the shape of the knife is an inverted L shape.

The length of the short side of L depends on the size of the gun bore.

In his opinion, the structure of this knife is also not very complicated.

“Can it be made?” Zhao Xu asked Wang Ying.

If Wang Ying said no, he would personally participate.

Wang Ying showed a look that you despised me too much, and said: “Your Highness, the drawing on this picture is very clear. Now that so many things have been made, the lower officials should have improved a bit. I will leave this to the lower officials. I will report back to His Highness in three days.”

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, “Okay, since that’s the case, I will wait for your good news.”

Naturally, he hoped that Wang Ying and the officials of the Military Division would make progress, rather than acting like a Every matter big or small, the giant baby had to be dealt with by him himself.

Thinking of something, he continued: “By the way, is there enough manpower to make artillery for export?” At

that moment, the Liang family, Han family, Xie family, and Ma family all placed orders, and the Xiao family and Dou family will definitely come next.

At present, the territory of the two families has become a frontier, and without artillery, they are afraid that they will not feel at ease when they sleep.

“It’s really tight. If the quantity needed continues to increase, I’m afraid the delivery date will be delayed.” Wang Ying felt a little headache, “The most important thing is that these tasks will affect the supply of the military department to the royal army.”

Zhao Xu nodded, “In this way, the weapons and armor of the royal family’s pro-army are still being manufactured by the Bingzhan Division, and the firearms for export are specially manufactured in Nanfang District. You can bring back the capable craftsmen in Nanfang District, and I will give you another supplement.” A new batch of craftsmen.”

Immediately there will be a million people from the four counties.

Moreover, Wang Yanzhong has not stopped transporting youths back from Jinzhou, and has saved a lot.

But now that Ma Yuan is taking office, he can no longer rob people from Jinzhou so blatantly.

After all, I still have to give him some face.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Bingzhangsi also occupies the area of a folk square.

However, the buildings inside were too old, so King Yan let them move to Nanfang District.

In fact, there are still many free places.

Rebuild some workshops, which can be comparable to Chengdefang.

It is also convenient for him to manage the firearms sold externally and the firearms manufactured internally.

After agreeing on this matter, Zhao Xu left from the Military Division.

Although the war will not be fought for the time being, all preparations cannot be relaxed.

He wants to take advantage of this free time to lay out all aspects of the four counties, so that the four counties can get on the right track of development.

…

Xiancheng.

Murong Hao stood on the top of the city and looked into the distance, his eyes were full of complacency.

At this time, Ma Jin followed behind him with a flattering expression.

After receiving the news of Xiliang’s army advance, Yan Wang’s soldiers and horses led by Ma Han withdrew to Qinguan at the same time.

The predicament in Xiancheng was lifted immediately, and at that time he all admired himself for making a correct choice.

Now, he’s alive and well.

As King Qin of Xiliang, he has the same rights over Qinzhou and Yongzhou as King Yan has over Yanzhou.

The only requirement is to pay part of the taxes to Xiliang every year.

“Shan Yu, this will be your territory from now on, and I will follow your orders.” Ma Jin pointed to the land outside Xiancheng.

After the Xiliang army crossed Xiaoguan and stationed in Qingshui City, which is the closest to Qinguan, Murong Hao arrived in Xiancheng yesterday.

The first time I saw this Xiliang Shanyu, he was naturally extremely flattering.

After all, his wealth, life, glory and wealth are all in the palm of the emperor.

“Hahaha…” Murong Hao laughed out loud.

He looked at Ma Jin and patted him on the shoulder.

These Qinzhou and Yongzhou were picked up by Xiliang for nothing.

And it’s all due to Ma Jin, how unhappy he is.

“I am very relieved to have King Qin who can recruit such a good general. From now on, I hope that King Qin will be of one mind with me. When Xiliang recovers, he will break through the Qin Pass and seize Dasong Mountain together with Beidi. At that time, we will I will give you a bigger seal.” Murong Hao said.

Ma Jin was overjoyed, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.”

But from Murong Hao’s tone, he also heard that Xiliang would not attack Qinguan for the time being.

This made him a little disappointed.

After all, he wants all three states of the Ma family to belong to him.

As if seeing what Ma Jin was thinking, Murong Hao said: “It is said that the soldiers of the King of Yan moved the artillery to the Qin Pass. This Qin Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now it is even more formidable. It is a pity, but… “The

conversation changed, and he said: “At present, Xiliang and Beidi are integrated, and the Beidi people say that they have developed artillery. I will find a way to get some from Beidi. Then maybe Qinguan will not be a problem.”

” Really?” Ma Jin was taken aback, then ecstatically,

he was even more convinced that he had made the right choice this time.

Now that Beidi has artillery in addition to the invincible cavalry, how could Da Song be able to defeat Beidi.

In the future, this Dasong land will surely become a racecourse for Beidi people.
