??????????????? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go to the Imperial City of Shangjing, the Arms Department, and the Cavalry and Shooting Range.
?? Following the gold master Wu Qibi, the Prime Minister and Capital Marshal Wanyan Zonghan, Deputy Marshal Wanyan Pujianu, Grand Tutor Wanyan Zongqian, Minister Wanyan Xiyin, as well as Zong Pan, Zong Jun and other princes were all sitting in the dormitory. They are all waiting for the debut of the weapons newly developed by the Arms Department - or rather, imitations.
The broken gun and several dumb bombs that Saba brought back that day attracted great attention from the Jin State, and they were immediately handed over to the Ordnance Supervisor, who was ordered to gather skilled craftsmen from Song, Jin, Xia and other countries to research and imitate them. After more than half a year of hard exploration, hundreds of master craftsmen finally came up with something.
Under the repeated urging of the king and the prime minister, the weapons supervisor had no choice but to hurriedly take out the newly produced finished product and respond. Unexpectedly, the excited ruler and ministers immediately asked to see the powerful effects of the new weapon. The weapons monitor secretly complained and had to bite the bullet and arrange this test.
When the weapons supervisor and the young supervisor each held a newly developed weapon in their hands and respectfully presented it to the king, Wu Qimai's eyes were first attracted by the three-foot-one-inch, glossy black musket. With a gesture of his hand, a waiter came down to the left and right to take the musket and present it in front of the case.
Wu Qimai had heard of the Tianzhu Army's sharp guns and swift long-range attacks, but this was the first time he saw the real thing. He held it in his hand and looked left and right, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.
The weapons supervisor took another musket from the young supervisor's hand and demonstrated the steps to the king and ministers: bite a small paper ball with your mouth, pour half of the powder into the gun barrel, and then take out a deer-wrapped ball. Use a stick to poke the skinned lead pills to the bottom. Tamp it firmly; then pour the remaining powder into the gun's medicine pool, and then use a fire skewer to ignite the match rope clamped on the bird's beak
That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a match rope! This is a matchlock, not a flintlock.
What Saba brought back was a broken gun. The components of the gun mechanism were seriously damaged. The hammer, steel plates, scales, plate tenons, and some small and important structures were either broken or lost, or were eroded by the high temperature of the final big explosion in the Battle of Nuerling, making them hardened and hard to distinguish. Without an exact physical reference. No matter how brilliant a craftsman is, he cannot make an identical flintlock gun. However, a master craftsman is a master craftsman, and he pondered over this defective gun, communicated the principles, and brainstormed ideas. He just figured out how to use a matchlock to ignite the powder, and by mistake, he made a matchlock gun.
Compared with the flintlock gun, in addition to being cumbersome to operate and having a slower rate of fire, the power of the matchlock gun is not much different. Well, let¡¯s look at the power.
After the weapons supervisor asked the king for instructions. Come to the shooting range with a gun.
This was originally a place used by the Ordnance Department to test the performance of new bows and crossbows. It is also suitable for testing muskets.
The weapons supervisor nervously raised his matchlock gun and pointed it at the target twenty steps away - a wooden man stake covered with leather armor.
The gun has a rear sight and a front sight, but no scale. However, if it is only twenty steps, it is not difficult to aim. The ordnance supervisor blew the match and pulled the trigger. The flame head of the bird's beak bent backwards and touched the gunpowder powder in the medicine pool - Peng! Gunpowder burns. White smoke filled the air, and flames passed into the barrel along the fire hole, igniting the gunpowder, causing an explosion, and pushing the projectiles out of the barrel.
Poof! The projectile struck the target twenty paces away.
Wu Qimai was overjoyed when he saw this. The emergency person takes the target leather armor and examines it. If you don't look at it, your face will turn dark when you look at it.
The small-finger-sized projectile was embedded under the right rib of the leather armor. When the leather armor was shaken slightly, the projectile bounced off - after twenty steps, the projectile could not penetrate the leather armor. Even three soft bows could not penetrate it. Why not, what's going on?
The Ordnance Supervisor and the Young Supervisor knelt down and begged with mournful faces: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's not that the muskets are ineffective, but that the gunpowder is ineffective!"
The weapons supervisor was right to the point. Muskets can be counterfeited, but gunpowder is difficult to counterfeit. In this era, there was no chemical basis and no test tube analysis. It was extremely difficult to figure out the specific ingredients and proportions of a bomb.
Although the Song and Jin Dynasties already had explosive-like military weapons such as "Thunderbolt Fireball", the ingredients of this thing were too mixed, and various materials were mixed in it, which was far from real explosives. After getting a few dud bombs brought back by Saba, the craftsmen roughly figured out the main ingredients of gunpowder after repeated research, but they did not do enough in terms of removing impurities and purifying them. In addition, the ratio and proportion of various components of gunpowder are far from optimal, let alone granulation. The combination of all these unfavorable factors ultimately resulted in the "gunpowder" developed by the Metallurgical Warfare Department not meeting the standards at all. It was as powerful as a big firecracker and could only scare people at best. As for the effect, everything is just as Wu Qimai saw
"Ahem, cough, cough" Wanyan Zonghan coughed and gasped, his thick eyebrows raised, and his anger was hard to calm down, "This is the semi-finished product developed by hundreds of craftsmen like you."The result? Such a musket is not as good as a willow bow, so what is its use? Suicide? "
The arms supervisor and the young supervisor had earth-colored faces and were trembling. After a long while, the young supervisor tremblingly pushed out a black wooden box beside him and said in a trembling voice: "This is the explosive newly developed by the military craftsman. Your Majesty, please take a look." ?¡±
?? Wu Qimai moved his chin with a sullen face as he agreed.
" As if he had been granted amnesty, the young warden of weapons quickly opened the black box and took out an explosive bag weighing fifty kilograms and wrapped in a square shape like a palm
This explosive pack looks very similar to the explosive pack used by the Tenchu ??Army, but is its power similar?
This time it was the Ordnance Inspector's turn to demonstrate. He placed the explosive package in the center of the shooting range, surrounded by armored wooden mannequins. He used the red-hot iron skewer in his hand to ignite the three-foot stick wrapped around the explosive package. guide, and then evacuate quickly.
Under the gaze of dozens of bright eyes from the Jin Kingdom¡¯s monarchs and ministers fifty feet away, the explosive pack exploded with a powerful force, stirring up a cloud of yellow mist that quickly dispersed in the strong autumn wind.
"Quick, get the armor quickly." Seeing the power of this explosion, Wu Qimai was overjoyed and couldn't wait.
Le Diandian, the young warden of weapons, called on several guards, and together they stepped forward to remove the leather armor from the wooden dummy, and then put the pottery bowl hidden in the leather armor on a wooden plate and presented it to the kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom.
Seeing the king inspecting the leather armor that was basically intact, he looked hesitant. The ministers were looking at the intact or broken pottery bowls on the wooden plate, with puzzled expressions on their faces. The weapons supervisor quickly explained: "The killing effect of explosive packets is different from that of muskets and thunderbolts. The power of the gas explosion is used to hurt. There is no danger on the surface of a person's inner organs. Therefore, the skin and armor are intact, but the pottery bowl is broken."
Wu Qimai suddenly said: "In this way, if the pottery bowl is broken, it will cause harm; if the pottery bowl is intact, it will be invalid."
The weapons supervisor and the young supervisor responded in unison.
There are thirteen pottery bowls in total. Five are broken, one is cracked, and the remaining seven are intact.
Regardless of his illness, Wanyan Zonghan personally went down to the scene to check the explosion point and wooden mannequins.
There is only a very shallow depression at the explosion point, and the nearest wooden man pile is less than one foot. The farthest wooden man stake is two feet. Those broken pottery bowls were obviously taken from the nearby wooden figures In other words, the power of these fifty kilograms of explosives only reaches about one foot in radius, and it is useless if it is further away.
Although Wanyan Zonghan had not personally witnessed the explosive power of the Tianzhu Army's explosive packs, he was concerned about the explosives destroying the city. My ears have already become calloused. Not long ago, Huanglong Mansion, the southwest barrier to Beijing, burst open with a huge explosion.
If a fifty kilogram explosive pack only has this amount of lethality, how much explosives would have to be deployed if the army wanted to blow up a section of the city wall that day?
Wanyan Zonghan, with a gloomy face, returned to the shed in a carriage, shook his head to Wu Qimai, and only said: "The gunpowder is not powerful enough."
The weapons supervisor explained in horror: "The newly developed gunpowder is indeed different from the gunpowder used by the Tenchu ??Army. Therefore, the range of the muskets is insufficient to kill people. Use it to make thunderbolts. It is difficult to break the iron shell. Use it to make explosive bags. The weight must reach a hundred kilograms to be able to match the lethality of the twenty kilograms of explosive packs of the Tianzhu Army"
Wu Qimai twisted his beard and nodded: "If the power is not enough, it is still a good idea. It is only a hundred kilograms of explosive packs, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to use them independently during combat. It is better to use fifty kilograms."
The Ordnance Supervisor and the Young Supervisor responded hurriedly and quietly wiped a handful of cold sweat from their foreheads.
Although Wanyan Zonghan was not satisfied with the explosive power of only one-fifth of the Tianzhu Army, it was at least successful and he hoped it could solve his urgent need.
Just when the kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom were relieved that their army finally had firearms that could compete with the Tianzhu Army, the supervisor of Qianyuan Palace appeared outside the dormitory and asked for an urgent meeting.
The supervisor on duty asked to see him. There must be something big going on. Wu Qimai called him immediately.
The supervisor on duty stepped forward, leaned down and reported: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Tianshu has arrived."
Wu Qimai frowned, showing a trace of nervousness in his heart, but his tone was still calm: "But is it Yelimali (Ma Kuo) or Hong Hao with King Hua's reply?"
The expression on the duty supervisor's face was quite strange, and he said, "The messenger is not Yeli Mali, nor Hong Hao, butbutSa Lihe Langjun"
The king and his ministers of the Kingdom of Jin looked at each other in astonishment.
¡¡
Wanyan Salihe, the man who was first captured by the Tianzhu Army and a senior general of the Jin Army, witnessed the rapid expansion of Tianshu's power and the Tianzhu Army's Vietnam War after two years of imprisonment. The stronger they are, from victory to victory, they take the northwest, determine the Central Plains, launch the Northern Expedition, and surround Beijing. The great gold is in danger and the Tianshu is prosperous. This is the general trend of the world. In order to avoid the destruction of the country and the destruction of the clan, King Hua personally summoned him and made a powerful statement.Lihe agreed to act as an envoy and went to Shangjing to meet the king with the terms laid out by the Tianzhu Army.
King Hua happily accepted the compensation from the Jin Kingdom and the repatriation of the plundered people, and set up a memorial hall in Huanglong Mansion to welcome back the coffin of the Supreme Taoist Lord of the Song Dynasty, and the three armies paid tribute.
The sugar coating has been eaten, but the cannonballs have come back - peace talks are possible, but the following conditions must be met, and a reply will be given within half a month. When the time passes, a war to destroy the country will be launched.
What are the conditions? These are the terms of the peace agreement that Sa Lihe brought back:
"The trend of the world is vast and powerful. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish! Today, there are Jurchens who grew up in the grass and acted recklessly against nature, causing harm to all living beings The gold master and the ministers, the generals in the army, are called noble people, but they are actually fierce and stubborn. Severe punishment will be imposed, and God's will will bring him back. Make a list, and characterize war criminals. From now on, the Jurchen Jin Kingdom will remove its imperial title and surrender under the seal. If you obey the orders of heaven, the country will perish and people will survive. If you resist stubbornly, everyone in the country will perish "
In exchange for their gold and silver, their women, and their humility that was almost touching the ground, the Jin people got a time-limited unconditional surrender letter and a long list of "war criminals": Wanyan Sheng (Wu Qi) Buy), Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Zongqian, Zongpan, Zongjun, Zongchao, Zongmin (Arubu), Wanyan Pujianu, Hunqi, Youmohan, Hu Shihai, Pucha Shijia Nu, Sali Gudu, Pei Mantunu, Gao Qingyi, Xiao Zhonggong, Yingdahe
This long list includes the leader of the Jin Kingdom, the prime minister, important civil and military ministers in the DPRK, and the disciples of Jin Taizu Aguda. It includes all the military and political ministers and generals during the Jin Kingdom's southern invasion. This is the list of war criminals submitted to the Kingdom of Jin by the Tianzhu Army's Northern Expedition Army Headquarters. Everyone on the list is required to undergo public trial and punishment.
Needless to say, this is naturally a name that only Di Lie can come up with.
War criminals! Unconditional surrender!
In this era, what is heard is unheard and what is heard is deafening.
When the ministers of the Jin Kingdom figured out the purpose of this list, they suddenly exploded and became angry.
Wu Qimai¡¯s face was extremely ugly. He wanted to roar, scold, draw his sword, and kill the King of Hua with one blow
The ministers of the Kingdom of Jin vented all their anger on the unfortunate messenger Sa Lihe, and started to mock the "crying man" one after another. Wanyan Pu's slave, who had a bad temper, almost stabbed him with a meat cleaver, but luckily Wanyan Xiyin and others stopped him.
Sa Li was silent until everyone calmed down for a moment, then he said indifferently: "Would you like to die standing or live on your knees?"
Wu Qimai threw his credentials to the ground, sat at the desk and squinted his eyes, like a tiger looking for food, and his tone was fierce, as if squeezed out from between his teeth: "Jurchens have their own choices for Jurchens!"
