Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 798

[Chapter 798 Named Qin Style]

Shi, “Your Highness, I have received information that the Britons, Beidi people, and Ross people are colluding with each other, trying to regroup the disorganized clans against us.” In the study, Tsui Hark handed over a document Zhao Xu.

Their four courtyards have eyeliners in Wu country, and naturally they also have eyeliners in Nanliang and Nanping countries.

When the British envoys went to Nanliang, the blond-haired and blue-eyed Britons were naturally very eye-catching, and they couldn’t hide it at all.

After that, they inquired about the news through the bribed Nanliang officials, and finally confirmed the matter.

After a pause, he continued: “Right now, the British envoy is going to Wu State under the escort of soldiers from Beidi and Nanliang, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Changcheng soon.”

Zhao Xu frowned.

Since the Battle of Qizhou, Nanliang parted ways with other powerful clans, while Nanping Kingdom has always been peaceful.

If the three join forces, it will mean the resurgence of the Yan Yan Alliance.

The only difference is that the original Yan Yan alliance was facilitated by Dongpu.

Now it has become dominated by the Britons and Russ.

He could imagine that the Shizu and Beidi soldiers and horses would fight against him in the south of the Yangtze River under the unified command of the British and Russians.

But before going south, he predicted the most severe situation with the generals.

This is the current situation.

So he said: “It doesn’t matter, let him be crazy, let the wind blow the hills, the combination of hostile forces is only a matter of time, but it will definitely happen.”

Xu Hark was stunned, for him, this situation is very bad.

This means that Jiangbei is in a C-shaped encirclement.

Except for the east, everything is enemy.

Even the east side is not completely safe.

Dongpu has not completely calmed down, and the fleet of the country of Sam may arrive in the eastern waters soon, competing with them for control of Dongpu.

Therefore, King Yan’s attitude was so relaxed, he was quite surprised, and couldn’t help saying, “Your Highness is not worried at all?”

“Why worry? If you are afraid and compromise, it is tantamount to falling into the scheme of the British.” Zhao Xu got up and got up. When he got to the map, he waved for Tsui Hark to go over.

After pondering for a while, he said: “Three dwarfs stacked on top of an Arhat, will they become giants? On the contrary, they are afraid, and they can only disguise themselves as giants to threaten us.”

Draw a C on the map, and he Said: “Before they united, weren’t they also our enemies? Didn’t they also have conflicts with us all the time? But they still have nothing to do with us, they can only fear day by day, worrying about our attack?”

Tsui Hark slowly nod.

Before going south, Wu Guo and Beidi had already cooperated in the north and south under the instigation of the British.

One attacked the coast of Jiujiang, and the other continued to harass the north.

But they achieved nothing except to drop some dead bodies.

Now, there are only more Nanliang and Nanping.

And these two are basically dispensable to the Wangfu.

Zhao Xu continued: “This alliance is essentially an action by the people of Britain and Rus who are afraid of the rise of the king in the East. This should be something to be happy about, because they believe that only by joining forces can they fight against the king.”

” So that’s the case, although their alliance seems to be very powerful, it is actually just a weak performance of reporting to the group for warmth, and I have the advantage.”

“That’s right.” Zhao Xu laughed, “But the trouble is a little trouble after all, yesterday If you catch ten pigs, you will catch a hundred pigs in the future, but it doesn’t matter, our soldiers will soon be equipped with new firearms to catch pigs.”

Tsui Hark suddenly rang out the musket just developed by the Bing Zhansi.

He knew about it, but he didn’t know the details of the musket.

After talking about this matter, Zhao Xu ordered Xu Hark to go back, and at the same time continued to watch the actions of all parties to provide information for the war of the royal family.

After Xu Ke left, Zhao Xu returned to the bedroom.

He originally wanted to go to the Military Division, but he didn’t want to neglect the beauty.

The red silk tent is warm all night.

The next day, Zhao Xu couldn’t wait to go to the Military Division, and saw the needle-type breech-loading musket developed by Wang Ying and the craftsmen.

“Your Highness, I have been waiting for Your Highness to give this musket a name.” When Zhao Xu arrived, Wang Ying immediately presented a musket.

Unlike muzzle-loading guns, this musket no longer requires cleaning rods for loading and cleaning, but has a metal bolt structure at the back of the musket.

When using it, you just need to pull the bolt open and fill in the bullets, which is much more convenient than loading bullets in front-loading guns.

For example, the rifled guns currently used by the royal army can only shoot about five bullets per minute even if they use tapered bullets.

And this breech-loading gun is twice as fast, ten rounds per minute.

“It’s called the Qin-style rifle.” Zhao Xu said.

When he came back, he thought about the naming problem.

This is also the first time he named Bing Zhansi’s musket.

The reason is just as Wang Ying said in his letter.

The muskets currently used by the pro-army soldiers of the palace are just modified and modified from the flintlock guns at the beginning.

So it has not been named.

This rifle was different, a real new musket.

The material of the barrel is smelted out of a converter, and the bolt parts are made of a lathe.

At the same time, it is also a change from front-loading guns to rear-loading guns.

“Qin-style rifle? Does it mean Qinzhou?” Wang Ying scratched his head.

Zhao Xu shook his head.

This Qin is not the Qin of Qinzhou, but the Qin of the contemporary Great Qin.

Qin unified the six countries, and Fang Tianxia Datong.

Next, he will use all his strength to produce Qin-style rifles and deliver them to the royal army.

Let the division of Dasong end under the prestige of Qin-style rifles.

“If there is a chance, this king will ask you to explain the meaning of the word Qin, and you just need to name it according to this.” Zhao Xu said.

Wang Ying nodded, since King Yan didn’t say anything, he naturally didn’t dare to ask again.

Suddenly grinning, he said, “Your Highness, would you like to try the Qin-style rifle?”

“Of course.” Zhao Xu’s heart skipped a beat.

When the group arrived at the shooting range, Wang Ying brought a handful of cardboard bullets.

“Your Highness, the bottom of this paper shell is equipped with a cap. Pull the trigger. As soon as the firing pin strikes, the bullet will explode and push the conical bullet out of the muzzle.” Wang Ying introduced the bullet to Zhao Xu. .

Zhao Xu nodded.

The breech-loading needle-action rifle initially used paper-cased bullets.

Because of this, the initial breech-loading guns had air leakage due to the gaps between the parts, resulting in an effective range that was not as good as the front-loading rifles after the emergence of tapered bullets.

It was not until the appearance of metal bullets that the problem of air leakage was solved, and the gun was loaded before it exploded in the range.

Therefore, the development process of the rear-loading gun since its appearance is the process of solving air leakage.

However, even though Zhao Xu knew about the problem of breech loading, he could only continue to use cardboard bullets.

Because the current industrial capacity of Yanzhou cannot establish a metal bullet production line.

For the tapered bullet to fit perfectly into the case, the case and bullet need to fit perfectly.

In this way, a very high degree of precision is maintained when producing cartridge cases and warheads.

The paper shell bullets are different, because they don’t care about air leakage.

The paper shell bullets are thicker or thinner.

It is very convenient to produce.

Furthermore, in this era, paper shell bullets are enough.
