Chapter 809

"Emperor, this is the first batch of fuse loaded flowering bombs."

In the military workshop, Chen Qi leads Xiao Qi to the warehouse. On the ground where a lot of guns and ammunition are piled up, he sees the flower bombs neatly placed in the corner.

Xiao Ming delayed Lu Fei's attack on Jinzhou because of the Huahua bomb. However, the army spent a lot of money outside, which was bad for everyone.

What's more, the Japanese on the Korean Peninsula are eyeing, and he wants to end the war in the north as soon as possible to open up a situation for the colonization of the great Chongqing.

Chen Qi then picked up a flower bomb from the ground and said to Xiao Ming: "emperor, these flower bombs still use hollow iron balls, but the wooden plug fuse of the iron balls has been replaced by the current mechanical fuse. "

black cat and white cat, the cat that can catch mice is a good one. Xiao Ming ordered," now let the artillery demonstrate. How about I see? "

" yes, the emperor. " Chen Qi nodded and ordered people to carry out the shells on the ground.

When the group arrived at the shooting range, under Chen Qi's command, the artillery replaced the solid ammunition with the flowering ammunition, and the loading sequence was completed. With a roar, the shells rushed straight to the stone pestle 500 meters away.

The powerful burst bomb hit the stone, and the pin in the fuse hit the mercury, which instantly detonated the shell. With the sound of "boom", the flame surrounded the stone pestle, and the stone splashed everywhere.

Xiao Ming nodded his head with satisfaction. In the past, only mortar cannons could fire flower bombs, but now all smooth bore cannons can fire flower bombs.

Especially for the Navy, the way they fight will change in essence.

In the past, warships fired at each other only with solid bullets, which made their ships full of holes. This rarely caused warships to sink. But now it's different. If the naval gun was loaded with this kind of bomb, it would be a nightmare for the enemy. The bomb would directly sink the enemy's warships.

"After the first shells were sent to Pingzhou City, you immediately sent these flowering shells to the Navy. "Xiao Ming gently locks his brows. He still remembers the last time the warships of the great Yu Kingdom and the British met at sea.

If the British warships fire against them at sea again, he guarantees that the Qingzhou warship will blow the other side to ashes.

After the success of the first test, Chen Qi went on to test six shells, all of which exploded, indicating that the reliability of this kind of shell is still good.

"What about the mines I asked you to make?" Xiao Ming then asked.

Chen Qi picked up a hollow bullet from the box, which was different from the Huahua bullet. The hole of the hollow bullet was obviously large, the fuze was bigger than the Huahua bullet, and it protruded from the surface of the shell very high.

"Emperor, this is to make it easier for barbarians and horses to step on and detonate mines. The lower officer made mine fuses much more sensitive, and the weight of soldiers and horses was enough to detonate mines." Chen Qi said seriously.

Lutong is responsible for the supply of mercury, but the manufacture of shells depends entirely on him. However, with the maturity of iron mold technology and the use of steam engines, their production is much easier than before.

Xiao Ming smiles with satisfaction. History has proved that the change of weapons has led to a change in the situation of war. In the past, the West conquered the world with naval guns. Now it's his turn to lead Dayu to make international rules.

Like the flower bomb, Xiao Ming also asked Chen Qi to demonstrate it for him. At this time, Chen Qi asked the craftsman to bury the mine under the soil layer. Then a craftsman stood far away and threw an iron block at the soil layer where the mine was buried.

As the iron fell on the mine, the ground burst open and the soil and flames splashed.

"Very good. Now how many shells and mines can you produce in a month." Xiao Ming asked.

"Three thousand each is OK." Chen Qi said: "now the guns and bullets in the military workshop do everything, and there are not enough people."

He frowned and looked at the yard of the military workshop. In his opinion, with the modernization of weapons, the military workshop should be normalized.

So he said, "I'll assign another group of people to you. You and song Changping are responsible for splitting up the muskets, artillery and ammunition workshops and performing their respective duties. In this way, the efficiency of the three workshops can be improved."

Chen Qi immediately grinned. He was envious of this magnificent wave of slaves, but because he was busy developing fuses, he ignored it.

Now Xiao Ming said that, naturally, it was in his mind.

Xiao Ming is also in a good mood for the rapid development of new shells, because it means that he can defeat his enemies more easily and gain more market for Dayu.

After checking the shells, Xiao Ming inspected the muskets workshop and artillery workshop. Now the production of these two workshops is very stable.

The muskets workshop has been producing and transforming muskets, while the artillery workshop focuses on the production of field guns and naval guns. However, in addition, they have been designing and developing the next generation of muskets and guns.

But it will take a while for the product to come out.

"By the way, now your military workshop can send craftsmen to Pingzhou to train the soldiers and teach them how to use these two weapons. As soon as your first shells arrive, the battle of Jinzhou will begin." Xiao Ming said."Yes, Emperor. I'll arrange it now."

Satisfied with the current production progress, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu left the military workshop and returned to Qingzhou City.

As soon as they entered the city, they found that the streets of Qingzhou were in chaos. At this time, the streets were full of businessmen, Confucians, and common people. In the chaos, he heard calls of abuse, cheers, and fights from time to time.

"What's the matter, ask." Xiao Ming said to Qian Dafu.

"Yes, Emperor." Qian Dafu answered, went to a guard who was maintaining order and asked harshly, "what do you guards do? How can this city be so chaotic?"

The guard looked nervous when he saw Qian Dafu. He said, "manager Qian, this is not the fault of the guard. The chaos in the city is caused by the merchants and the Confucian scholars. It is said that it is caused by the dispute between the Confucian scholars and the merchants. "

" Confucian scholars and merchants? " Qian Dafu was stunned for a moment and guessed something vaguely.

The guard continued: "yes, it was a fight between two people, but now it has become chaos in Qingzhou City. Businessmen and Confucian scholars have gathered a large number of people to fight in the city."

Qian Dafu is clear in his heart. He goes back to the carriage and tells Xiao Ming the whole story.

Hearing the words, Xiao Ming showed the color of meditation. There are still some businessmen with unique vision. For the rising capital, the theory of celestial bodies will undoubtedly break the shackles that have bound them for thousands of years.

That's why they support astrology so much.
