While Liu Ming's ministers were still thinking about what Ma Jun and Zhang Lu were talking so excitedly, Liu Ming was completely stunned by what he realized. There was no way, in Liu Ming's impression, now
In this era, even muskets cannot be produced, let alone terrifying things like cannons, let alone self-propelled cannons.
Of course, the weapon designed by Zhang Lu and Ma Jun is quite different from the modern self-propelled cannon. It is definitely a simple version of the simple version. However, the characteristics of the self-propelled cannon are that it can move quickly.
There is no missed in the long range and gunpowder shells.
Since Ma Jun dismantled Liu Ming's truck, he could not imitate the engine, oil cylinder and other advanced combination machinery, circuits, oil circuits, etc., but those shock-absorbing bow plates, springs, etc.
Simple and single mechanical device have achieved great success. He imitated the four-wheeled carriage and the steel-made stone carriage he invented was the crystallization of Ma Jun's efforts.
But among those simple parts that can be imitated, one of which Ma Jun seems to be able to imitate, but in actual production, it is quite difficult, which has always troubled Ma Jun. That is the bearing.
Bearings seem to be very simple in modern machining. However, in the Han Dynasty, when precision lathes and calipers were lacking, if you want to make cylindrical balls of the same size as the outer circle, it definitely requires careful manufacturing by master-level craftsmen.
.And this is accompanied by countless waste products.
Fortunately, Ma Jun had a simple compass and a simple caliper designed by Liu Ming for him, and a unit of length set by a millimeter cut by Liu Ming with a knife as the benchmark. This was given to Ma.
A glimmer of hope for success.
Now, after five years, Ma Jun has finally trained 300 skilled workers who can produce standard balls, each of whom can manufacture four standard bearings per month. This is a preliminary thought of Ma Jun.
After having the bearings, Ma Jun was preparing to transform a large-scale carriage. After all, the four-wheeled carriage is Ma Jun's proud work. Using steel tiles to connect the axles is far worse than the bearings. And the transformation of a carriage
The first application was used by Ma Jun on the stone cart. The stone cart was also Ma Jun's proud work, and the stone cart moved slowly and was not flexible. It was also a part of Ma Jun's heart disease in pursuing a perfect mentality.
.
The result of the combination of the two is gratifying. The huge stone cart becomes slender under the combination of bearings, springs, steel cantilevers, etc., and is fixed to the chassis of the carriage, which only requires the pull of a horse.
It can move quickly, and its speed can even keep up with the slow moving cavalry. The passable road surface is even a place where a horse can pass through, and the stone cart can pass through.
When Ma Jun had just completed the trial production and had not yet informed Liu Ming, he received a cooperation with Zhang Lu. The specific application of Zhang Lu's Wulei Dan is also the main cooperation project of the two.
Therefore, with the cooperation of two madmen, the huge Five Thunder Pill came out. Its round shell is made with a large brittle and easy to break bronze. When casting, it even made a tortoise-like split line, which is similar to today's football.
.The inside is filled with gunpowder made according to the gunpowder formula provided by Liu Ming. The outside is no longer the ignition powder that was ignited by the masters of internal power. Instead, it is replaced by a long fuse. A huge shell weighing fifteen kilograms was released.
Although this shell is similar to a landmine that causes fire and explodes, it can be matched with Ma Jun's improved stone cart, which is definitely a perfect match.
Zhang Lu and Ma Jun tried it out, and the effect was not mentioned. It was definitely a shaking earth and was amazing. The only small flaw was that it was detonated a little earlier and exploded above the predetermined target. However,
, It is precisely because of this that the broken shrapnel shows the power of the flowering bullet. Within three meters of radius, it is covered by the shrapnel. I don’t know what the small target looks like.
Ma Jun and Zhang Lu, who were delighted, immediately came to report to Liu Ming impatiently.
Seeing Liu Ming speechless for a while, Ma Jun couldn't help but say enthusiastically: "Lord, although the length of the time that my thunder magic machine now needs to be tested and finalized. But this thunder magic machine is mechanical force, this thunder magic machine
The weight of the bullet is fixed. Therefore, its accuracy and accuracy are far stronger than our rock chariot. Moreover, it is extremely flexible and powerful. In time, we will manufacture it on a large scale.
I can guarantee that this thing can sweep the world and no one can defeat it."
Ma Jun's words woke Liu Ming up. Liu Ming naturally knew that what Ma Jun said was true. If the cannon continues to develop, of course, it will be much more powerful than crossbows and arrows.
Liu Ming really has to admire these ancient craftsmen. Although he doesn’t know any theoretical basis, he doesn’t have any systematic guidance. But this imitation and creativity are really unspeakable. Even the exact same cylindrical balls can be polished by purely hand-made
Come out. No wonder in modern times, many things have just been released and the streets have become popular. And those imitators are often uneducated.
Liu Ming couldn't help but remind Ma Jun: "These bearings are hard to get, and our waterwheels, looms and other things are also inseparable. With them, the transmission is better. Moreover, the waterwheel is formed by using the waterwheel.
The high-speed transmission can also clamp the circular iron column and rotate it with high-quality steel...
Liu Ming talked endlessly about the C-168 lathe architecture he had seen in the army to Ma Jun. Of course, Liu Ming didn't know what specific transmissions, circuits, light bars, screws, etc.
, it was impossible to tell. It was not until Guo Jia couldn't help but cough, and he freed Liu Ming from the surprise brought by the Pili Divine Machine and stopped talking nonsense.
But just like this, it also made the civil and military officials in the court stunned, and Ma Jun was even more intoxicated. It was really wonderful that the cylinder could be processed like this. It must be tried.
Liu Ming came to his senses and then realized that although artillery is important, it can be said that it is okay if there are signs of it. Now I have to talk about Zhang Lu. However, Liu Ming thought again: If artillery can be used on a large scale
It is much easier to create, not to mention tens of thousands of doors, even if there are thousands or hundreds of doors, it should be much easier to sweep the world. There is no need for your own troops to fight for thousands of them. In this way,
, This is much more important than Hanzhong.
Liu Ming secretly got his luck and calmed his excitement. He spoke to Zhang Lu, "Zhang Zhenren, someone pretended to be General Ma Chao's troops the day before yesterday to invade Tianshui. Although they have been eliminated by our military and civilians. However, ten
There are eight or nine, there may be some changes in Hanzhong where you were originally located. Although we don’t know what the specific changes are, we still don’t know. But it should be a lot of bad luck."
After saying that, Liu Ming looked at Zhang Lu tightly.
Zhang Lu was indeed unaware of it. Zhang Lu, who was already extremely excited and proud, said in surprise after hearing the changes in Hanzhong: "The Emperor Wuliang Heavenly Lord. It is absolutely impossible! My brother Zhang Wei is in charge in Hanzhong.
With Yang Song and others loyally assisting each other, even if Liu Zhang made a big spy, it would be impatient. There would never be any change in Hanzhong."
As the saying goes, care will lead to chaos. Zhang Lu's foundation and family business are in Hanzhong, so naturally he doesn't believe anything at this time.
Liu Ming appeased Zhang Lu and said, "Zhang Zhenren doesn't have to be anxious. This matter has not been clarified yet. Perhaps Hanzhong is safe at this time. It's just a bandit to rebel our Tianshui."
But Liu Ming's comfort was of no use to Zhang Lu. Although Zhang Lu said that Hanzhong would never change, Zhang Lu's heart had long been in chaos. Although it was a chaotic world, there were many bandits and bandits.
Those who dare to attack Chengxian will definitely not be small forces. And between Liu Ming and himself, there is no big force that he cannot know. Especially with Liu Ming's name, even if there are any bandits and bandits,
He didn't dare to make ground on the Tai Sui head in Youzhou.
The more I can’t figure it out, the more I muttered. Zhang Lu’s family is all in Hanzhong.
Zhang Lu said to Liu Ming impatiently: "Master Taiwei, my subordinates are willing to rush to Hanzhong to find out why. Please allow the permission of the Taiwei."
Calling Zhang Lulai was intended to use Zhang Lu's reputation as a combination of politics and education in Hanzhong to reduce the resistance encountered in accepting Hanzhong. Now Zhang Lu volunteered, and Liu Ming had no choice but to accept it. Although Liu Ming is now very eager for Zhang Lu and Ma
Jun’s follow-up study, but he still nodded and agreed.
However, Liu Ming repeatedly instructed Zhang Fei that no matter what the circumstances, protecting Zhang Lu's safety must be the top priority. Even if there is any change in Hanzhong, it is necessary to ensure Zhang Lu's safety first.
Zhang Fei responded one by one. He ordered Zhang Lu to order troops to Chang'an, joining Guan Yu, Huang Yueying and others. After Zhang Fei and Zhang Lu and others left, Liu Ming once again ordered Ma Jun to conduct further research, and at the same time, all the research was
There must be detailed record steps to facilitate the sorting of basic theories in the future to form systematic.
When the ministers dispersed, that night, Yang Jun, Guo Jia and Jia Xu jointly advised Liu Ming that he would reorganize the intelligence system. Although Hanzhong is united in politics and education, it is located in a mountainous area, with many mountain people, which is inconvenient.
The spy was installed, and it has never been the focus of intelligence attention, and the intelligence agencies there were not very perfect. However, Tianshui had such a big deal, but it was reported after the incident, and there was no news at all in advance.
It's too unreasonable.
Liu Ming also recognized this and handed it over to Guo Jia and others for specific arrangements.
At this time, Zhuge Liang had also received news of Yang Ang’s defeat. Although Zhuge Liang did not expect this surprise attack troops to do much, or capture Liu Ming’s territory, the victory was so smooth.
The defeat was so miserable that it was beyond Zhuge Liang's expectations.
The more than 20,000 troops were really drizzling compared to Liu Ming's legendary huge strength. It is unrealistic to use these troops to conquer Liu Mingde's town and deal with Liu Mingde's counterattack. It can be destroyed as a surprise soldier.
It should be possible to find out Liu Ming's military strength and strength in a preliminary manner.
But now Gao Pei, who was retreating in a hurry, only brought back less than 5,000 troops, and even more so, he encountered Liu Ming's main force quickly returning to the rescue and attacked him at night. His troops were no less than hundreds of thousands, so he was defeated.
This made Zhuge Liang even more troubled.
In such a haste, Liu Ming's defenders could quickly organize hundreds of thousands of troops to return to the rescue. It seems that the outside world is rumored that Liu Ming's troops are millions and the best in the world is the best in the world, so it should not be a false statement.
Of course Zhuge Liang is not a god, and of course he could not have imagined that Gao Pei was defeated by a group of ordinary people spontaneously. Moreover, Gao Pei was simply knocked out and could not tell what kind of military and horse troops were coming. For the sake of defeat
When looking for lyrics, Gao Pei was even more exaggerated. Zhuge Liang didn’t have a headache, that would be a strange thing.
However, Zhuge Liang's gains were not gone at all. After all, Zhuge Liang's political purpose was achieved. He must first calm the internal situation when he resisted foreign countries. Now Zhuge Liang has expanded rapidly, and Shuzhong and Hanzhong are all obtained through extreme diplomatic skills.
The first element is the most important factor. How to unite Shuzhong and Hanzhong into one rope is the top priority. It is much more important than fighting with Liu Ming. Otherwise, if Liu Ming doesn't need to fight, he will be fully
It's messed up.
But in this case, Yang Song's greed was definitely an uneasy factor. Although Zhang Song and others in Shu were betrayal, Liu Zhang could not control them, and Zhang Song and their ambitions could not be expanded.
But Zhang Song and others are still capable ministers in nature. But Yang Song is not the case. He is definitely a greedy villain. If he can betray Zhang Lu mercilessly today and sell Dongwu again tomorrow, there will be no
It is impossible. Among the generals in Shu, there are also one or two candidates who Zhuge Liang thought were unreliable.
Therefore, cutting off Yang Song, a treacherous minister and those unreliable officials, was what Zhuge Liang wanted to do the most. However, the surrender of Yang Song and others was all told by Zhuge Liang, and it also made great contributions.
Killing it recklessly will inevitably cause unstable military morale. Moreover, Yang Song's wings are extremely powerful. Yang Ang, Yang Ren and other relatives have controlled a considerable military force. It really affects the whole body.
Now, Zhuge Liang cleverly used this extremely risky task to complete the killing of people by borrowing a knife and eliminate the potential threat. Even if he borrowed words to kill Yang Song in the future, there would be no more trouble, and he would better integrate Eastern Wu and Shuzhong
The soldiers and horses in Hanzhong are really superb.
Therefore, after a headache, Zhuge Liang happily arranged the defense matters everywhere and waited for Liu Ming's troops to attack. Bashu, which was surrounded by mountains, occupied a steep road. Even if Liu Ming had
A million soldiers are not able to be used. There will be no big advantage in fighting against tens of thousands of soldiers.
