Beside him, Zhao Guangsi, who is specifically responsible for preparing for the Arsenal’s Lin Jingchun Department, reported the situation to him.
"Eye spears and long knives are stable to make shields, and it is not a problem to have enough raw materials. In addition, most military systems take a long time, such as heavy axes, armor and crossbows. The manufacturing process is quite complicated.
The number of craftsmen who have mastered the art of photography in Taian is not large. In total, there are more than 20 existing arm bows that can benefit the production of ordinary bows with existing raw materials. If you want to make crossbows, there are still some key parts that cannot be produced. Generally speaking, there are many defects. "
Zhao Guangsi is an honest man who told Su Yonglin all the problems.
Su Yonglin nodded his head.
"These problems are normal and can be used in China in the future."
So Su Yonglin turned to the officers behind him and said, "You should all pay attention to attacking the city after attacking the city, and pay special attention to protecting these craftsmen, craftsmen and armories who can strike while the iron is hot. Those are our lifeblood."
All the officers nodded in white.
Then there is the problem of firearms.
Because of the shortage of raw materials for the production of gunpowder, the former Victory Army could hardly use firearms before the arsenal independently produced gunpowder.
But this does not mean that the Victory Army has no gunpowder and firearms. In fact, there are quite a few.
Chapter 4 Flying Firearms
After conquering the three States, the Victory Army seized a large number of firearms made of gunpowder rockets, fireballs, fire thistles, etc. from the local Jin Jun armories.
However, from these seizures, Sino-Soviet Yonglin did not see the tubular firearms.
Shandong is located in the front line of Jin-Song War. If there is no tubular firearm, it can be said that there is no workable tubular firearm in Shaojin State.
It is not clear whether there was Su Yonglin in the Southern Song Dynasty. He had never seen his grandfather before he died, and he had never had anything similar with him.
However, it is of course a good thing that the Jin army does not have disposable firearms, which means that the Jin army does not pay much attention to the scarcity of firearms at present
It may be because the national defense pressure is not too great at present, and the national military situation has not turned to defense, so the main defensive firearms are not paid attention to.
After the rise of the Mongols tribe, there is no way to fight in the field. It is estimated that firearms will be valued as much as the Southern Song Dynasty
As far as the types of firearms seized are concerned, in addition to fireballs, tribulus and other firearms of the earlier Northern Song Dynasty, Su Yonglin saw rockets the most. It seems that the mainstream fighting devices of 8 Jin Army should be rockets.
Judging from this configuration, Su Yonglin recognized that the biggest way of 8 Jin Jun firearms in this period was to set fire to burn, not to explode and injure people. It should be accidental that Xintai County encountered that gunpowder explosion that killed people.
Reading here, Su Yonglin realized that Jin Jun firearms have not yet evolved further in this period and have not developed in the direction of tubular firearms.
Su Yonglin’s mind is full of the most representative firearms in the history of firearms or from the Firemen Gun era to the FireWire Gun era, from the separation of guns to the division of guns, from the sliding gun era to the line gun era.
But what do you know?
Even in modern times, cavalry still has great advantages.
The real end of cavalry is machine guns and steel chariots, which will be in the era of World War I. Some battlefield cavalry played very well during World War II
It can be seen that that advantage of cavalry ov infantry is beyond doubt.
Su Yonglin doesn’t recognize that he can toss out machine guns and tanks more than a hundred years later in decades, and directly end the cavalry era.
If he can do that, he can directly unify the ball. When the ball grows up, what is the state of Jin, what is Mongolia, what is the Southern Song Dynasty, and what is Xixia? Everything is like paper in front of him.
Unfortunately, this is impossible.
Now he will face an extremely severe war situation, a crisis situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak and enemies are on all sides.
In this case, there won’t be too much margin for him to stop testing the performance of firearms
Early firearms were slightly more advanced when needed. Even if weapons could be manufactured by hand and assembled by law, the input-output ratio would be outrageous.
Not to mention, a skilled firearms unit also needs to undergo very strict training, and it is very important to compile new tactics and tactics with general knowledge of mathematics, and it is not possible to find a battle terrain by hand.
Let alone defeat the highly mobile cavalry.
He must be able to ensure his own birth first, and then he.
There is no doubt that he was born mature in this situation. The tactical tactics are elite infantry array, long-range and high-precision arm bow and constantly strengthening elite cavalry regiment
The cost performance of firearms is too low for him.
It can be said that the existing foundation is slightly conducive to small innovations instead of putting limited energy and resources into the bottom hole of development and creation
It is tempting for him to create firearms. However, it was only after the successful destruction of the State of Jin that he completely established himself in the Central Plains.
Only then will he have enough resources and manpower to invest in the bottom hole of development and creation.
By no means present
Of course, Su Yonglin also considered the effect of firearms and ordered the arsenal to make a new type of weapon.
This should also be the first ambassador of Xu Jin Guo, but I haven’t seen it yet, and it may not have been sent yet
This weapon is called a flying musket.
The principle is very simple, that is, a bamboo tube or an iron tube is tied to the front end of the pike, and gunpowder, iron slag, arsenic and other objects are placed in it. When it is ignited when it meets the enemy, the gunpowder ignites and emits a large number of injured people such as Mars, which can erupt for more than ten feet.
After the powder burns out, the flying musket becomes an ordinary pike, which can continue to fight and stab.
In fact, it is equivalent to adding a magic damage skill to the enemy’s physical infantry.
Su Yonglin feels that this thing may have a good effect whether it is against the same infantry array or against cavalry who dare to rush.
So when he was in Jinan, he ordered the arsenal to make use of existing gunpowder and infantry spears to make flying muskets.
