Chapter 836: Breech gun

The sound of cicadas rang out outside the Imperial Study Room, which made people distracted.
While thinking about it, Xiao Ming paced back and forth in front of the three. While the Industrial Revolution was in full swing, the country of Da Yu was still facing security challenges.
King Chu, barbarians, Japanese, Tubo, etc., these hostile forces need to be solved one by one for him, and his task is still very heavy.
"The princes are ultimately the great trouble of the Great Yu country. If they don't get rid of them in a single day, the Great Yu country will be in a state of fragmentation. The most hateful thing is that I can't interfere with the government of the country." Xiao Ming said, this was the establishment of the great ancestors. According to Xiao Ming, these vassal states are equivalent to independent federations, loyal to the royal family and at the same time form a system of their own.
And this is the reason why he hates so much, because the princes have become time bombs. When the royal is strong, it will be fine. If the royal is weak, these princes will take the opportunity to replace.
After all, this incident had just happened for a few years, and it was definitely not his guess.
Fiji's face was contemplative. Xiao Ming's words were enough to make him understand what Xiao Ming was going to do. He said: "The emperor, this matter can't be rushed. Now the north is not completely settled, and the country of Japan is looking forward to Gaoli again. After the dynasty has returned, it will be necessary to rest and reorganize. If you rashly cut the vassal, it may push the vassal kings to the side of the king of Chu, causing a fire in the backyard.
"Old Fei Ge said that most of the troops of Dayu are now confined to the north. Even with the triumphant soldiers, they can only make up 60,000 people. Besides, it takes time to raise grain and prepare ammunition. The battle of the Northern Expedition was already very expensive, and the slaves looted back accounted for a lot of rations. The emperor and the veteran thought that this is definitely not the time to send troops. At present, we should focus on stabilizing Kanto and Goryeo, at least until the Kanto food can be used to station troops Provide grain.
Pang Yukun persuaded that because of the delay in spring ploughing, there is no grain output in the Kanto area.
At present, not only is it unable to provide food for the country, but the court still has subsidized food. After the recovery of the six cities, the government's statistics will soon come out.
At present, the six cities in the Kanto area have a total population of 2.2 million Kanto, which is terrible.
Xiao Ming glanced at Pang Yukun. This fellow in his memory always used to be like this. He cried out for lack of food and money as soon as a war, and he never had a happy time.
But he understands that Pang Yukun is a security-seeking person and never likes to fight uncertain battles.
"If this is the case, let's think about it again next fall, but before that I have to figure out how to make King Huainan and King Yong hand over military power." Xiao Ming said in a deep voice.
In fact, he didn't want to fight his own people anymore. Infighting was meaningless. If King Chu could surrender his military power to become a rich prince, he would not do anything to him.
It’s just that it’s too late now. King Chu is now digging holes for himself. Once a council headed by Cao Kun is established, the state of Chu will change. At that time, he will probably not face King Chu but the capital council. .
But even so, he is not very worried. Chu is developing, but the north is also developing, and he develops much faster than Chu in one year.
This is like a race between the tortoise and the hare. If you add a year, he will only make the gap between the North and the South even bigger. Maybe then he will kill the King of Chu with an overwhelming advantage. After all, Song Changping is already developing Sharp, which is similar to a paper shell bullet. After installing a rifle.
This Sharps rifle is very similar in structure to the current Levy musket used by the country. It also uses an external flash hider, hammer firing, and a paper eggshell. The difference is that it adds a locking structure.
In this way, the captive-type rifle of Dayu State only needs to be modified and upgraded to become a rear-mounted rifled rifle.
The reason for this is of course no coincidence, because Xiao Ming guided Song Changping in this direction at the beginning of his design, in order to facilitate the upgrade and transformation of the gun.
Now that there are more than 100,000 modern musket troops in the country of Dayu, if he frequently replaces his weapons, he cannot bear it, and according to the news from the battlefield, many conquest muskets were lost during the Northern Expedition.
These muskets are likely to have flowed into the hands of the barbarians. Once so, he believes that the Western craftsmanship of the Japanese country may have obtained this new musket.
For him, he couldn't tolerate the loss of his own weapon on the battlefield, otherwise he would be really ashamed of a person with a technology spar.
In addition to this reason, another reason why he chose the Sharps rifle is the production of bullets. This rifle can fully use the Miner bullets currently used by captive rifles without the need for a special supporting bullet production line.
The only question now is whether Song Changping can produce a qualified locking structure, because this will affect the air tightness of the gun.
In the next time, he needs to build a set of production machinery specifically for the locking structure.
After discussing the question about King Chu, Xiao Ming said to Li San: "I will not fight King Chu for the time being. It does not mean that I am afraid of him. You did the right thing. Now you immediately cooperate with the guards and seal all the business of the Cao family. ."
"Yes, the emperor." Li San answered.
After talking about this, Xiao Ming asked the three to go back separately. If he had used to worry about King Chu's affairs, but now it is unnecessary, because he has sufficient confidence to control the situation.
Now his plan cannot be chaotic. At present, he still has to deal with the barbarians and the Japanese countries, and at the same time stabilize the Kanto and Korea, so that these two places will become the granary and dumping market of the country.
Thinking of this, he asked Qian Dafu to call Huang Zixu, and the Korean delegation was waiting for his reply in order to go back for business.
After a while, Huang Zixuan, who had been waiting in the restaurant for several days, arrived, and when he saw Xiao Ming, he immediately knelt down with a flattering expression.
Xiao Ming didn’t let Huang self-proclaim. At this time, he just wanted to show the danger in front of him. He pondered for a moment~EbookFREE.me~ He said, "Huang Zixu, since you are willing to do things for me, I will not treat you badly. With you, you need to faithfully fulfill the conditions that I gave to Korea."
"Your Majesty don't worry, even if you are crushed, you will never lose your majesty's favor." Huang Zixu said sincerely.
Nodded, Xiao Ming continued: "The army of the Kingdom of Great Yu is stationed in Liujing City, which is enough to save your life, but the conflicts that arise during the implementation of the treaty require you to find a solution. My principle is to fulfill the premise of the treaty. Next, I will not interfere in your internal affairs."
"Your Majesty's meaning is clear, and your Majesty will never cause trouble to your Majesty."
Xiao Ming also said that the most controversial issue in this treaty is cultural issues. In this regard, he has been rough, but only roughness can assimilate Goryeo.
Otherwise, the painless enlightenment cannot assimilate this place even for a thousand years. Once the Korean culture is revived, this place will be separated again. The entanglement of contemporary England and Ireland is enough to prove the harm of leaving a tail.
And all he has to do is once and for all.
