When the phalanx with high morale and neat military appearance passed through the entire main road of Liangzhou City, all the people were proud of the strength of Hexi and felt extremely relieved.
This alone is enough.
As for the shock to people outside Hexi, Ye An and Hexi officials were also satisfied. From the eyes of these "outsiders" it is not difficult to see their jealousy, envy, hatred of the Hexi army, and their fear of powerful firearms.
.
The firearms of Hexi have left the firearms of the Song Dynasty far behind. This can be clearly seen from the face of Yao Song, the detainer of the field.
On the surface, this person was a supervisor of field affairs, but he also held the position of supervisor of the imperial city. Ye An knew about his identity but never revealed it.
Since Yao Song thinks he is hiding well, let him continue to hide without thinking about who Ye An is. He knows the Imperial City Division too well.
Although the power of firearms was not shown, everyone knows how terrifying Hexi's firearms are, especially Da Song and Dang Xiang, who really understand firearms. However, what was beyond their expectation was that there were so many types of firearms in Hexi.
.
Tuoba Ao, the trade officer of Dangxiang, kept an eye on all the firearms of the Hexi Army. It was not that Li Yuanhao did not work hard to develop firearms in Dangxiang, but the effect was too poor.
The gadgets produced by the "Manufacturing Institute" are not of much use on the battlefield. They can only be used to set fires in a small area or to create poisonous smoke. As for the raw materials of gunpowder, they are known, but compared to the Hexi Army
The firearms are too weak.
He didn't understand how Hexi made gunpowder so powerful.
What surprised him even more was that Ye An actually took out the musket for them to appreciate, without even the slightest worry that others would imitate him.
"Everyone can see what kind of magic weapons our Hexi firearms are, so that there will be no need for some people to try their best to find out. Enough people have died outside the Yamen of our Northwest Firearms Department over the years. Don't send any more
People make unnecessary sacrifices.”
Ye An's words made everyone present look ugly. It was obvious that among these people were spies sent to Hexi from all sides.
"Aren't you afraid that I will imitate this musket? When the time comes..." Yao Song looked at Ye An with a wry smile on his face.
The Song Dynasty had Jingyou's musket, which was much better than Xixia's firearms. Unfortunately, this thing has almost become a luxury product recognized by the court, and has long been shelved by the princes and officials. Yao Song was naturally filled with emotion when he saw the musket again.
.
Ye An saw his appearance, then looked at the confused expressions of Tuoba Ao and Yelu Daliang next to him and laughed and said: "Since you take it out, of course you are not afraid. I am not boasting, this gun is just for you."
It can’t be made!”
These words were filled with arrogance and arrogance in the ears of the three people, but they did not know that Ye An was telling the truth. A lot of stamped parts were used in the "Kuiweinian-style" musket.
Although stamping technology is the simplest forging technology for later generations, it is like an alien technology for this era.
What's more, the rifling has been initially formed in the barrel and the special Mini bullet, not to mention the most important smokeless gunpowder.
The most important reason why Ye An dared to take out his muskets for people to visit was that he had confidence in Hexi's advanced science and industrial civilization.
The industry in Hexi has completely surpassed the various industries of this era. In Song, Liao and Xia, it was called handicraft industry, while Hexi mastered advanced industry that was composed of factories, lathes, equipment, etc.
In the eyes of others, they are almost the same, but in essence they are completely different. With the development of gewu and the progress of industry, Ye An can even say that Hexi is only one step away from the industrial revolution!
With such powerful productivity, the seemingly simple musket has an insurmountable technological gap for any civilization.
Put the cylindrical paper bag into the gun chamber, press the Mini bullet to jam the bullet chute, turn the gun bolt to lock, during the locking process, the gun bolt drives the hammer into the cockpit, Ye An aimed at a hundred meters away from the city wall
The water tank pulled the trigger.
There was a "bang" gunshot, and the water tank shattered. Everyone here was still surprised at the accuracy and power of the musket. Then Ye An had already loaded the next round, and then another shot...
If the power and accuracy of the "Kuiweinian" musket had amazed everyone present, its reloading speed was unacceptable to everyone.
What’s the biggest advantage of a musket? It’s that you don’t have to work hard!
Whether it is a strong bow or a hard crossbow, you need to use your arm strength to cock it, but muskets do not need to be used at all. You only need to aim at the enemy and pull the trigger. In this way, as long as the accuracy is sufficient, even a young man can easily kill everyone.
Armed warrior.
But now, the reloading speed of the musket has been increased so fast. Ye An just took a few breaths to load the second round. This is too shocking.
At that moment, Tuoba Ao's face turned as pale as if it had lost all color, and Yelu Daliang even took a breath of cold air. Only Yao Song had no expression on his face, and even showed a trace of pride and satisfaction...
After all, Hexi is still the Song Dynasty's Hexi, and Ye An is still a minister of the Song Dynasty. No one has said that he is a traitor to the Song Dynasty. So the land of Hexi is the land of the Song Dynasty, and the muskets of Hexi are the muskets of the Song Dynasty.
!
At this time, Yao Song instantly knew what choice he should make, and immediately stood up and praised: "Ye Hou is a good marksman! It is worthy of being the musket of our Firearms Department of the Song Dynasty, and it is a step further than Jingyou's musket! Good, good, good!"
Following Yao Song's words, the faces of Tuoba Ao and Yelu Dalian beside them instantly became ugly. In their eyes, although the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Hexi was not very good, the Song court even treated Hexi with all his heart when it came to handing over banknotes in Tokyo.
I scolded them, but in the final analysis, these two people are still a family.
Yao Song is completely "fake the power of the tiger", who can know the bitterness and helplessness in his heart?
As the Imperial City Secretary, he certainly knew what the musket that Ye An took out meant. He was the Imperial City Chief many years ago, but he was not the Chief of Tokyo City but Lanzhou.
Just to spy on party items.
Later, when Ye An arrived in Liangzhou City, he was sent to Quechangwu as a detainer to investigate the trends in Hexi. Of course, there were also many of his subordinates in Quechangwu, but they were suppressed by Yao Song, who strictly ordered them to do anything at any time.
It must not occur.
It's not that he has no concerns. His biggest concern is that the eyes and ears of the Imperial City Division in Liangzhou City have disappeared. In his opinion, everything is unimportant. The important thing is to keep the changes that have taken place here exactly as they were, without missing a word.
Send it back, send it back to Tokyo City...
In order to keep the news flowing, he didn't even dare to openly help Qian Jiang escape back to the Song Dynasty. As for Zhang Wenjin's death, he was helpless. Fortunately, in the end, he used the means he had been doing for many years to send Qian Jiang to Lanzhou.
Save his life.
During this time, he finally saw that the changes in Hexi were so fast that it was dizzying to see. There would always be all kinds of novel things appearing, either useful, useless, or even hilarious, but this
All the changes in Yao Song's eyes are the most enviable and jealous.
Because Hexi is always changing, there are always new things appearing, unlike the dynasty, which is sluggish...
