Weapon Expert of the Late Ming Dynasty
Chapter 154:Weapon Expert of the Late Ming Dynasty
Qi Changlin saw Zhang Bin holding the handcuffet and looked at it for half a day, just did not speak, and couldn't help but ask carefully, "Adult, do you remember this?"
Zhang Bin heard the words, slowly put the handcuffs back into the box, and then handed the box to him, sighed: "Take note, take good care of this, this is sent to the emperor for self-defensive."
He said this because he had seen a rumor in his previous life.
Rumor has it that when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, Chongchen held the three-eye tusks in his hand.
Three-eyed tusks, the same thing as a wolf's tooth stick, an emperor holding it in his hand, is really a beautiful scenery, but also really pitiful.
This handcuffs are sent to show him what a real musket should look like, and hopefully he will pay a little attention to the development of muskets and artillery.
Zhang Bin sighed again, and then yoked, "Here's silver, remember six hundred thousand, the rest, used for muskets and artillery."
He had already thought about it, here and the silver found on the other side of the Fujian Bank, only to Chongchen sent about a million or two, the remaining more than half a million two, used to build a military factory, the development of guns.
However, when he remembered the development of a gun, he had a headache again, because he could not take the time.
He has a lot of things, training new troops, encircling pirates, establishing the monthly Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, developing foreign trade, punishing corrupt officials, developing Fujian's economy, etc., and so on, everything has to spend a lot of energy to do it, he has the time to develop guns ah!
It seems that a special group of people must be specially trained to develop weapons and equipment such as guns.
Thinking of this, Zhang Bin's mind immediately came out of a lot of people's information, in fact, at the end of tomorrow, there are many talents in this area of weapons, but they are not valued by those in power, one by one, so submerged in the long river of history, a wave has not been provoked.
Among them, the most powerful is Bi Miao Kang, he not only developed a flanked gun, but also compiled the "arms map", listed a variety of gunpowder weapons manufacturing methods and practical efficacy.
He developed a flange gun time is actually slightly earlier than the Continental powers, if the court can fully support, the Ming army's weapons and equipment will inevitably achieve a qualitative breakthrough, it is not impossible to turn the tide.
Unfortunately, Chongchen was not interested in these at all, and in the end, he could only be sadly.
At this time, Zhang Bin's first thought was Bi Maokang, after all, under his deliberate pull, they are already brothers and sisters, Bi Maokang still lives in his Jinling mansion, and in Jinling's more than two years, Bi Maokang has almost designed the gun, just to try.
However, Bi Miao Kang has a problem, and now he is the right waiter of the South Department of the three products, and then ascended to the sixth book of the second product, and if he invites him to Fujian, he can give him a correct two-pin cloth embroidery at most.
The difference between the two-pin Jingguan and the real two-pin magistrate is not a star and a half, is he willing to give up the future to help him develop weapons?
If Bi Mucon comes, the musket does not need to be considered, and he is even more powerful than Zhang Bin in this regard.
As for artillery, Zhang Bin thought of Sun Yuanhua, a famous artillery expert at the end of Ming.
Sun Yuanhua is also a Songjiang government, the division from Xu Guangqi to learn the Western firearms method, especially good at casting guns, was recommended by Sun Chengzong as a division of the military department, in the eastern city of Liaodong to build a cannon, Ning Yuanda plays a key role in the more than ten urban defense guns is Sun Yuanhua cast.
Later, due to Wei Zhongxian's arbitrary tyrannical, the capture of Yuan Chonghuan's military skills, Yuan Chonghuan resigned in anger, Sun Yuanhua was also implicated in the matter, and the officer returned home.
This person, Zhang Bin had heard Xu Guangqi mentioned several times, but Songjiang Province is far away, and his time to stay is limited every time, so he has not found an opportunity to visit.
Xu Guangqi every time he mentioned this student sighed, he was diligent and easy to learn, but the cute and good is firearms and mathematics, just because of his enthusiasm for Western learning, and even the science is delayed, so far has not been admitted to the sergeant.
He used to serve in the military department, it is good to say, in fact, like the city's director, is a nine-pin sesame officer!
Zhang Bin believes that with his relationship with Xu Guangqi, as long as he casually gives a military post of about five products, Sun Yuanhua should run over ass.
With Bi Miao Kang and Sun Yuanhua, this musket and artillery do not have to worry about themselves, but they are only technically up-to-tling, and mass production is not enough for them.
The history of the demise of the Ming Dynasty has proved that they have no way to mass-produce muskets and guns, if they can produce tens of thousands of guns, thousands of guns, after the golden iron ride, minute by minute to be beaten into dogs!
Of course, this can not be blamed on them, the court has no money, Chongchen does not pay attention, they can not do, more importantly, they do not realize that to mass production of muskets and artillery, must replace the manual with machinery, otherwise, the progress and quality can not keep up.
Zhang Bin, a talent in this area, has also asked, such as Song Yingxing, the author of "Heavenly Work", and Wang Song, who compiled the "New System of Artistic Figures", are the best in this regard.
Song Yingxing can be said to be a scientist in the Ming Dynasty, he compiled the "artionic" is known as the "17th century process encyclopedia", he is particularly good at the smelting of iron, copper, lead and other metals, and he is also the world's first scientific discussion of zinc and copper and zinc alloys scientists, it can be said that zinc is what he found.
With Song Yingxing, Zhang Bin, who is involved in material smelting, does not need to worry too much.
As for Wang Xing is an expert in machinery, the Ming Dynasty said mechanically at this time, it seems to be a bit of a night, but Wang is a mechanical expert, he has in-depth research on the mechanical principles and mechanical structure, the only pity is that he did not think of using other power to replace human or animal power.
That is to say, he only developed manual, or animal power machinery, rather than semi-automatic or fully automatic machinery with power sources in future generations.
This, Zhang Bin just to make up for his short board, steam power is the original semi-automatic machinery used power source, as long as the steam piston to make, the power problem is solved, Damming's mechanical level will be a qualitative leap.
As for whether these two people can be invited to come, Zhang Bin really not worried at all, because in the Ming Dynasty, it is a sincere contempt for engaging in technology, these people who engage in technology are very bumpy, like Wang Song's highest also to do a pusher from six products, Song Yingxing is also not admitted to the sergeant, this time is still at home to read!
At the end of the Ming, these scientists, except for one Xu Guangqi, others were a mess on the road, and Xu Guangqi was able to become a book of Shili Department of the East Pavilion University not because of his technical achievements, but because of his research on agriculture and the calendar.
Song Yingxing and Wang Xun, Zhang Bin estimated, do not use five high-ranking officials, as long as they can be promoted to the sixth, they will be happy to come.
