Chapter 286 This time, let Guo Qing be the general!
Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping as Magistrate County Chapter 286 This time, I asked Guo Qing to be the general! After returning from Goryeo.
Guo An then began the long-term work of three points and one line.
Guo Mansion, Yanwang Palace, and major workshops outside the city.
Especially the gunpowder workshop, he would go there every few days.
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting finally improved the general cannon that Guo An wanted.
Not only has the size and weight of the general's cannon been reduced by nearly half, but the power of the cannonballs has also been doubled.
The most important thing is that the maximum range of the general's cannon can reach three miles.
If the two armies are facing each other, there is no need to charge at all. You only need to wait for the enemy army to get into formation and bombard it with the general's cannon, and you can directly defeat the enemy army!
Zhu Di was overjoyed when he saw the power of the improved general's artillery.
"Tao Qing and Yang Qing are no less talented than Tao Wanhu!"
"Your Highness is ridiculous. I am not as talented as my father!"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting quickly saluted Zhu Di with embarrassed expressions.
Zhu Di laughed loudly, then looked at Guo An aside, "What can Guo Qing, Tao Qing and Yang Qing do?"
"He has the ability of a great craftsman!"
Guo An nodded firmly and affirmed.
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting were even more happy.
Guo An added: "It's just that these two boys have talents, but they don't know how to use them. If the ministers hadn't been pushing them, they don't know when they would have completed the improvement of the general cannon!" p>
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting couldn't help laughing.
"Humph!"
Guo An couldn't help but glared angrily, "You two still have the nerve to laugh. It took so long to simply improve the general cannon. As for the steam engine, are you two planning to spend ten years developing it?" "Also, if you don't know how to think divergently when something happens, and think about how to solve it, you will always look for us!"
"You must know that as a craftsman, you need to have an unconstrained mind and learn to think boldly.
In particular, you can all think about how to create a flying artifact that can carry you up to the sky and travel above the white clouds, down to the sea, and even to the moon..."
Zhu Di was stunned as he listened, "Guo Qing, isn't this something only gods can do?"
"Your Highness, as long as you dare to think and do it, you can definitely do it."
Guo An respectfully replied, "As a master craftsman, you have to be able to think. Only by thinking can you create better objects.
For example..."
As he said that, Guo An saw a fire stick on the side and picked it up to play with.
"Your Highness, this fire rod can only be used to shoot gunpowder. However, if an enemy army rushes up and the soldier only has a bare fire rod in his hand, it is like a fire stick and can only be used to hit people. Wouldn't this mean a huge defeat?
?"
"Tao Yiping, Yang Ting, do you two have a way to improve this fire system? We don't have high requirements. We only require soldiers holding fire systems. After the enemy troops rush up, the soldiers can use this fire system to kill at close range.
Enemy!"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting glanced at Guo An subconsciously, then stared at Huo Tong, frowning and thinking hard.
On the side, Zhu Di also frowned and thought hard. After a while, he still couldn't think of a good way.
However, before Zhu Di could speak, Guo An said with hatred that iron could not become steel: "Why are you two so stupid? If you want to use fire to fight against the enemy, then just transform the fire into a spear or a long knife.
”
"Change it into a long spear or a long knife?"
Zhu Di and Tao Yiping were still confused. How could Huo Tong be transformed into a long sword or a spear?
"Stupid!"
Guo An glared at Tao Yiping and Yang Ting again and said: "We can weld a card slot in front of the fire system.
Then, a one-foot-long steel knife is forged, and the tail of the steel knife can be connected and fixed with the slot.
On weekdays, the card slot can be used for aiming.
However, during a battle, if an enemy army charges up, just place the one-foot steel knife directly on the slot.
In this way, doesn't Huo Tong become a long sword and a spear?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "How can this be done?"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting looked at Guo An with admiration, "I didn't expect Master to come up with such an ingenious steel knife!"
"It's because you two are so stupid that you can't even think of such a simple thing!"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting both had apologetic smiles on their faces.
As for Zhu Di, as he listened, he felt something was wrong, and the smile on his face sublimated subconsciously.
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting couldn't figure it out. They were too stupid. Then what was he, the dignified King of Yan?
However, neither Guo An nor Tao Yiping paid attention to Zhu Di at this time.
Guo An continued to order the two of them: "In the past two years, the grenades, incendiary bombs, mines, and general cannons in the gunpowder workshop must be forged with all their strength. We will be of great use."
"Yes, Master!"
"Also, the gunpowder workshop is too important. If you notice that there is something wrong with the craftsmen, or if a stranger sneaks in, just kill him and inform His Highness King Yan."
"Yes, Master!"
"You are now grown up, and it's time to start a family. If you have a girl you like, just tell her and I will help you two personally match her."
"Thank you, Master!"
"If not, we will look for it ourselves, or His Highness King Yan will grant you a marriage..."
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting: "..."
……
In the Cunxin Hall.
As the cold winter gets closer and closer, Zhu Di likes to call Guo An more and more to watch the map of Japan with him.
"Your Highness, I wonder which general you are planning to lead in this battle?"
"Huh?"
Following Guo An's question, Zhu Di frowned instantly.
"What does Guo Qing mean by this? We can't fight the general for this?"
