Chapter 152: Joining forces
Ge Hongchou sneered, since it was the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don’t blame me for being rude. You are a merely powerless and powerful man, and you are afraid of your goal.
At this moment, Ge Hongchou continued to sneer: "Why, did we understand Lord Bi's worries? You want to learn from Tao Yuanming, but you can't be a civilian. When the national crisis is in danger, there will be no end to the nest. If the Ming Dynasty dies, how can you keep it alone? What the court needs is an official like Wei Zheng, and you Lord Bi is nothing. This is the original words of the prince, and we have passed on all words."
If the Ming Dynasty is dead, no one dares to say this sentence. Even if it is said, it must be a little more obscure, otherwise it would be a curse of the court. However, others in the world dare not say it, but Zhu Cilang dares to say it. After all, the Ming Dynasty belongs to his Zhu family.
Bi Maokang was furious and could no longer bear it: "Your Highness the Crown Prince insults or angers the grass-roots. The officialdom is dark, and the grass-roots will never return to the capital. As for how people in later generations evaluate the grass-roots, the grass-roots are open-minded and honest throughout their lives, and only seek to be ashamed of their hearts. The grass-roots will not pay attention to the words of others."
Ge Hongchou was not in a hurry, but continued to say contemptuously: "Is that right? His Highness the Prince also said that the "Military Artifacts" made by Lord Bi is a pediatric department, just like a child playing house. Such children's playthings are still wanted to be published. The Prince said that when he turned around, he would let someone burn these maps to avoid poisoning the world."
The military weapon picture is what Bi Maokang worked hard all his life. He has made many improvements to the various firearms, poisonous crossbows, and pictures and texts in the book, and the manufacturing, use and power of military weaponry.
Unexpectedly, the prince, a yellow-mouthed child, would burn it with a big mouthful. How could Bi Maokang not be angry: "I want to go to the capital and go to the front of Master Long Sui to argue!"
At this moment, Ge Hongchou suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Bi is wise, then let's go now..."
Bi Maokang was stunned, as if he felt something was wrong. After a while, he realized that this was not the way the little prince provoked him, right?
Sure enough, Ge Hongchou said to the two officials behind him: "Has Mr. Bi said it in person just now? He wants to go to Beijing to discuss it with Master Long live?"
The two officials nodded naturally like dogs: "Yes, yes, yes, the villain heard it, Lord Bi is going to enter Beijing."
Bi Maokang, who was blocked by words, was speechless. People like him with identities said everything they said. Since he agreed to go to Beijing, he could only sigh helplessly: "Then, then you have to allow me to change my clothes."
...
It was the bastard who said that the flintlock rifle was very simple, and Zhu Cilang promised not to strangle him to death. Before the time travel, he was also an online fan. He didn't say hundreds of novels, but there were still dozens of them.
In other people's books, those time travelers changed their guns and made cannons whenever they had disagreements. Some returned to ancient times, and all the Gatlins and cannons were built with blue fire.
Why did he be so miserable? He made a flowering bullet and failed to make glass several times. The only thing that made him proud was the wooden tower crane. Later he discovered that the tower crane he made was also a hot topic. In fact, he could have developed another kind of more labor-saving tower crane. Fortunately, there were many people at that time, otherwise Yizhou City would not be so easy to build.
Now, he is bored in this Zhongcui Palace. It is indeed time to study firearms. Emperor Chongzhen also said that as long as you make the so-called flintlock rifle, you can enter and exit the palace gate freely.
It's just a flintlock rifle. Isn't it just a piece of flint on the jaw of the hammer and a one-strike anvil is installed beside the fire transmission hole. When firing, the trigger is pulled and under the action of a spring, the flint is heavily hit by the fire door, sparks appear, and the ignition of gunpowder is fired.
However, the theory is very simple, and it is not the case when it is made. First of all, the main spring, the heart of the flintlock rifle, the iron resisting, and the iron resisting spring, are enough to make Zhu Cilang's head bigger.
The most important point is that although the iron smelting industry was developed in the Ming Dynasty, the output of steel soared. However, the output does not mean that there is quality. The ore used in the north is high in sulfur, and the crude iron produced is extremely poor in quality.
For example, the bird guns of Shenjiying are widely equipped with the bird guns, and the production of a bird gun is quite complicated. Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu" says: "For any bird gun, the iron is first used to hold a single big chopstick, which is cold bone, and the iron hammer is wrapped in red. First, it is three connections, the interface is red, and it is hard to collide. After the combination, the four-edged steel cone is as big as chopsticks, it will be turned into it to make the aurora clear, and the medicine will be released without any obstacles."
To put it bluntly, when making a bird gun, you must first roll up the double-layer bird barrel, remove the "black black skin" on the barrel, put it on the drill frame to straighten the barrel, and "get a fire door" at the tail, make bolts, install the fire wall, door cover, install the door, and take the star, prepare the medicine turtle with the combined lead bullet and gunpowder, and then install it on the wooden upright gun bed, that is, the butt stock. It is required that every accessories and every process must be meticulous in order to make a combined bird gun.
The most difficult thing to make a musket is the barrel. The barrel must be formed in one piece, otherwise it will explode. You must use a steel drill to drill it, and drill about an inch a day until the bottom is the best.
In other words, a skilled craftsman can drill steel pipes into about an inch in a day. It often takes a month to make a steel pipe. This requires huge manpower and material resources. No wonder Emperor Chongzhen gave up the development of Bi Maokang's flintlock rifle because he had no money.
It is also difficult to obtain the fine iron used for muskets. According to Wu Beizhi, thirty or forty kilograms of hard iron can only be refined seven or eight kilograms of fine iron. Zhu Cilang could not complete these alone.
Only when Bi Maokang comes and asks him to give some advice, combined with Zhu Cixuan's theoretical knowledge can the two work together to create it.
Bi Maokang was here. He had just arrived in the capital. Before he could come to the front of Emperor Wansui to make a statement, Zhu Cixuan sent someone to be arrested into Zhongcui Palace.
When he arrived at Zhongcui Palace, Bi Maokang did not give Zhu Cilang a good look. After all, he was scolded so bloody that no one could be happy.
Zhu Cilang was very happy. He was as if he had found a treasure and bowed to Bi Maokang: "Mr. Bi, I have been looking forward to it for a long time. I am in this Forbidden City and I am thinking about you day and night."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are a terrible person. You are a person without courage, how dare you trouble your highness's concerns?"
Zhu Cilang laughed: "Why, I didn't expect that Lord Bi is still a petty person and holds such a grudge. If I didn't scold you like this, would you be willing to come to the capital?"
Bi Maokang was stunned: "So, it's really your highness's aggressive plan."
"Hmph, I have read your "Military Artifacts" and although the self-generated musket you developed with flint has greatly improved its skills, it has many disadvantages. First of all, the shooting distance is only sixty or seventy steps, and even bows and arrows are not as good as those, how can you hurt the enemy?"
