The cannon is opened and he will be hit by his mother

In Zhejiang, after a winter dry season, the peach blossom flood has passed.

In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the Xin'an River is at its most abundant time and it generously waters the endless rice fields on both sides of the river from the various weirs it flows through.

The river is so clear and peaceful that it reminds people of the proverb of "The best is like water" in the Tao Te Ching, and suddenly it is full of endless gratitude.

But this year all the weirs were blocked, and the Xin'an River water, which was bestowed by God, was flowing downwards by the embankments on both sides of the river.

Jiajing had already set a five-year period, but the superiors had something to do and the subordinates had something to do. The imperial court's national policy of changing rice fields to mulberry fields was initially implemented, which brought disaster to the people of Zhejiang.

On the Xin'an River embankment in Chun'an County, there were many soldiers and yamen runners standing with knives and guns. Hangzhou magistrate Ma Ningyuan, the magistrate of Chun'an, and Jiande magistrate Zhang Zhiliang, are forcibly promoting it.

The national policy of changing rice into mulberry.

A good thing that benefits the country and the people falls into the hands of local officials and quickly turns into tyranny.

Fortunately, Jiajing added insurance and was able to turn the deviant front of the car in time.

Sure enough, a group of five riders rushed towards the levee on the levee.

As they gradually approached, many people saw the big red tassels on the leading rider's helmet, and the cloak that was black on the outside and red on the inside was flying backwards in the gallop.

"It's the Lord of the General Town!"

An officer shouted, tying the reins.

He recognized that the man wearing third-grade armor was the immediate boss of his own group of officials, Qi Jiguang, the general of Taizhou Town, Zhejiang Province.

The five galloping horses were getting closer and closer, and the infantry soldiers on the dike immediately ran forward and arranged two neat rows on the dike.

On the horse, Qi Jiguang suddenly tied the reins several feet away from the two infantry troops, and the five horses stopped neatly.

"Pap".

The horse whip in Qi Jiguang's hand flashed across the head officer's face like lightning, and a bright red blood mark immediately appeared on the officer's face.

After the officer was whipped hard, he stood even more straight.

At this time, another year has passed in the Southern Song plane.

The Zhongnanshan base area has many soldiers and generals. Not to mention that Wang Chongyang is ready to try, Yue Fei wants to have a big fight.

Jiajing got one million taels of silver, so he was naturally very generous. This time, he took advantage of a weapon.

artillery!!!

When it comes to hot weapons, the first thing that happened during the Song Dynasty was Ling Zhen, nicknamed "Botian Lei". He was a master of Yanling, Jingdong Road. He was good at making artillery and could hit 14 or 5 miles away.

Before this person went to Liangshan, he turned out to be the deputy envoy of the Tokyo Jiazhaoku. Hu Yanzhuo attacked Liangshan and invited Ling Zhen to help.

When Ling Zhen shot Liangshan, he was tricked by Wu Yong to make Ruan Xiaoer capture alive in the water. Therefore, he surrendered to Liangshan and made large and small cannons for Liangshan soldiers and horses. He ranked 52nd in Liangshan and was the top auxiliary star.

After recruiting the army, he followed the Liangshan army to fight everywhere. After surviving Fang La, he survived and was appointed by the Imperial Camp of the Gunpowder Bureau.

This is written in the novel and has no common sense at all.

Not to mention whether there were artillery artillery in the Northern Song Dynasty, the red-clothed cannon that was passed down from later generations had an effective range of only six miles.

It’s fourteen or five miles away? You can beat it with your hair!

The Song Dynasty naturally did not have artillery in the modern sense. The Hui artillery mastered by the Yuan Dynasty, which was extremely powerful in siege cities and land, but it was a lever counterweight catapult, which was extremely bulky and had no mobility.

The red-clothed cannons and the Jiajing Dynasty had not yet been released, and the Ming Dynasty had only the tiger squat cannons and the Fran machine cannons.

The big head of this aid is these two weapons.

When it was the first time to shoot a cannon, Jiajing naturally had to be present to give advice.

Therefore, after Wang Chongyang released his empty mind, Taoist Jiajing came again.

"General Zhang, go and see how to shoot artillery!"

"General Ying, the real person in Chongyang wants to shoot artillery, let him go and learn..."

General Ying is Yue Yun, who is in his twenties. In the past six months in Zhongnan Mountain, after Wang Chongyang's guidance, his martial arts have improved rapidly.

Yue Fei has always been a clear person's rewards and punishments, and treats his soldiers well. Therefore, letting his eldest son start from the grassroots is not only an explanation to the soldiers, but also reflects his expectations for Yue Yun on a certain level.

When Zhang Xian led his troops to fight, Yue Yun would definitely take the lead in rushing to kill the enemy, very brave.

Zhang Xianjun often returned with great victory, so the soldiers in the army called Yue Yun "winning officials". It can be seen that the army in Yue Yun's place was always victorious, and Yue Yun was only 16 years old at that time.

"What kind of cannon was the real person in Chongyang who fired?" Yue Yun asked, pulling the warrior who reported the news.

"I don't know either, I just know that the cannon is not dark and big and thick..."

Although there were no artillery in the Song Dynasty, there were explosives.

The explosives have no iron shells, only bamboo tubes. A bamboo tube that is one inch thick and one foot long is stuffed into black gunpowder, then the twist is stabbed in, and finally the hole is stuffed with bamboo paper, and a large firecracker is ready.

If you throw it out with a catapult, you will naturally have the power.

On Mount Zhongnan, all the generals of all sizes of Yue's army arrived.

"Everyone has stood firm and shot!" Jiajing roared.

boom!

In the hole of the tiger squatting cannon, after a earth-shaking sound, wooden men acting as enemies lined up on the mountain a mile away.

In order to facilitate shooting, the cannon was placed in a fixed position, which looked like a tiger squat, so it was named Tiger squat.

The tiger squat cannon is not very powerful, it is an early mortar style. It is a light cannon mainly based on curved fire. It is suitable for combat areas such as mountains, forests and paddy fields that hinder the maneuverability of cannons.

This is the most commonly used firearm in Qi Jiguang's army. This lightweight artillery barrel has a thin range and is not far (about 500 meters). However, the slender artillery barrel makes it more suitable for mountain combat, maneuverable and flexible, and can be launched at a high elevation angle and

A large number of grassroots troops were equipped, which was more advanced than the styles of European mortars of the same period.

"The total weight of the tiger squat cannon is 36 kilograms."

"Each launch can load 100 small lead or stones weighing 5 cents, and use a large lead or stone bullet weighing 30 taels to press the top. When firing, the bullets are flying out, and the sound is like thunder, and the lethality is

The radiation range is very large, especially suitable for field combat..."

Soon, someone brought the knocked wooden men over.

"hiss!"

"This cannon is so powerful!"

"The key is lightweight..."

"There are a hundred such cannons, and the Jurchens are not afraid of it!"

The varieties of gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty were already very rich, with more than 90 types of military gunpowder and actual formulas. Compared with the Song and Yuan dynasties, the configuration of gunpowder components in the Ming Dynasty was more reasonable, the quality of gunpowder was further improved, and the combustion performance and explosion power also reached a relatively high level.

This is the crush of technology!

"The tiger squat cannon is only considered a light cannon, and its power is slightly insufficient."

"Go, pull my Fran cannon up..."

The Folang function fired continuously and popped up like a fire snake. It was also called a rapid-fire cannon. It was introduced to China by the Portuguese at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, Portugal was called the Folang machine, so the cannon was named the Folang machine cannon.

Although it is not as powerful as the red cannon, it can really be called a cannon.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

After firing three shots in a row, everyone looked at the falling rocks in the distance, so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

Once this cannon hits, what about the iron floating map and the crutch horse, isn’t it like a paper-stuff?
