Chapter 2655: Taishan will lean his arms to block, tigers run bronze guns, pear flower iron guns
So Zhao and Rui immediately made a statement, asking the ministers to go back and think about it carefully, and to come up with a memorial tomorrow, and it will not be too late to make a decision.
After that, the emperor ordered the court to retreat and let everyone go back.
In fact, Zhao Yurui knew very well that how many so-called national affairs were agreed upon in the court?
However, most of them are the result of private discussions and compromises by court officials.
So he could let the courtiers go home and tell them clearly, so as not to make a headache here.
So the Korean debate ended like this, and everyone went back separately to discuss it.
...At night, a man came to the Heavenly Prison and asked him to see Song Yulin.
Seeing this person's identity, the prison guard in charge of the Heavenly Prison immediately rushed to invite the person in, and then respectfully retreated, allowing the person to meet Song Yulin alone.
After he arrived outside the prison door where Song Yulin was imprisoned, Song Yulin also looked up and looked out with the lights in the cell.
Song Yulin knew him. This person was the one who signed the book to the Privy Council who was in the Golden Palace during the day... Zheng Qingzhi! At this time, Song Wuhui understood in his heart that Zheng Qingzhi came tonight to determine his destiny. Just now, Zheng Qingzhi didn't speak, but looked up and down at Song Yulin in front of him.
I saw that the young general in front of me had no depressed expression on his face, but his eyes were shining, and he looked at him with interest.
At this time, Zheng Qingzhi couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. It turns out that he was an extraordinary person, and he could do such a big thing! Song Yulin was so bold and arrogant, and he was really worthy of his young age. He could do such a big thing! Then he saw Zheng Qingzhi straight to Song Yulin and asked, "If you were asked to lead troops now and fight with Shen Mo's Tongzhou army... can you fight?"
"I can't fight," Song Yulin shook his head without hesitation and said: "Tongzhou firearms are unparalleled in the world. They can break strong cities, break heavy armor, and kill and damage a hundred feet! No matter how strong the army holding swords, guns, bows and arrows are, they cannot match it."
"I also have firearms in the Song Dynasty," Zheng Qingzhi said with a smile at this time.
"Forget it, just your thunderclap?"
Song Yulin smiled disdainfully and said, "That thing is thrown away and not far away, unless it is used to defend the city, it is of some use... Humph!"
When he said this, Song Yulin snorted in his nose and said, "Even if you are guarding the city, you have to look at the direction of the wind. There is always one side of the city wall on all sides that is against the wind!"
"So, you thunderclap, there is always a wall that cannot be released on the city wall, and the enemy can just use it to attack."
"If it weren't for a month ago, when I attacked the Jade Emperor's Top, there was a westerly wind blowing out from Lin'an City.
I've beaten Lin'an long ago. Is that useless to the thunder in the sky?"
"It's really crazy to fight the Tongzhou army by relying on that thing."
When Song Yulin said this, he shook his head again.
"In addition to the thunder of the sky, I, the Song Dynasty, have other firearms."
Just then, Zheng Qingzhi smiled and clapped his face.
Then a servant walked in with a long pole in his hand.
After the long pole was stuffed into the gap in the wooden fence of the cell, Song Yulin took it into his hand.
There should have been a spear head on the top of the long pole, but they were obviously afraid that Song Yulin would hurt the noble man in front of him with a sharp blade, so the spear head had been removed.
But a few inches below the gun head was still tied with an iron pipe as thick as a walnut, about one foot long! "This is a gunpowder weapon newly developed by our Song Dynasty Military Arts Supervisor, and its name is the Pear Blossom Gun."
(This thing has actually appeared in history, so it is called this name) At this moment, Zheng Qingzhi smiled and said to Song Yulin: "There are gunpowder filled in this tube, and countless iron slags are mixed in the gunpowder."
"As long as the two armies ignite it when they fight, a three-foot-long fiery flame will be sprayed out at the top of this spear.
There are also reddish slag particles in the flames."
"These hot iron slag particles spray on human faces and skin, or even fall into the gaps in the armor, will cause burns that are difficult to heal..." "No use at all!"
Before Zheng Qingzhi finished speaking, Song Yulin threw the pear blossom gun out in the cell! "Although this thing is powerful in close combat, it cannot be far, and the range is not even as good as throwing stones!"
At this moment, Song Yulin shook his head and said, "And the little gunpowder inside should be sprayed with two yawnings, right?"
"If you want to use it again after this, you have to replace it with a tube or fill it with gunpowder again."
"The problem is that when the two armies are facing each other, this kind of pear gun can only be used on the front line.
But the soldiers on the front line are coming and going, and they are alive and dead in an instant, so how can they have the time to reload again?"
"What's more, you don't know the shooting distance between Tongzhou muskets and grenades, right?"
At this time, Song Yulin sighed and said, "Fight hand-to-hand with the Tongzhou army... Lord Zheng can stop!"
“…I still have it.”
After hearing Song Yulin's words, he saw that Zheng Qingzhi was not only not discouraged at all, but also smiled and clapped his hands again.
This time, someone sent another weapon in.
This time the weapon was carried by four people into the Heavenly Prison. When they saw it, it looked very heavy.
When it was placed outside the wooden fence with a "bang".
Song Yulin looked out, but immediately frowned... This thing turned out to be a cannon! He walked over and stretched out his hand through the crack in the fence and patted the guy.
Sure enough, the feeling of buying it is extremely heavy, and the weight of this thing must be more than 250 kilograms.
After that, Song Wuhui reached out to the other side of the cannon chamber and touched it with his fingers to make a simple measurement.
I saw that this thing was about 1.5 meters long, and it was about the same height as a person.
The thick end is about the size of the bowl, and the thin side is also thicker than the man's upper arm.
What surprised Song Wuhui was that this thing that looked like a cannon was actually made of bronze! To be honest, compared with the Jin Dynasty's fire dragon cannon, casting a cannon with bronze cannot be regarded as a regression, but can even be said to be a technological progress.
Because the Jin people blindly cast the Fire Dragon Cannon with steel, it is actually related to the cost.
Of course steel is much cheaper than bronze.
However, when the steel process does not meet the requirements, the performance of cast iron is far worse than that of bronze.
First of all, the temperature of bronze casting is much lower than that of casting steel. Secondly, bronze can be cast extremely finely. Everyone can understand this from the exquisite patterns of ancient bronze ware.
