The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

While Naofumi was sketching a new combat vest, a young man walked in with a gun barrel in his hand.

"Young Zhang Yuan, I have met you, sir." The young man saluted first.

"No need to be restrained, sit down wherever you want." Naofumi greeted.

"Thank you, sir." The young man said with some restraint.

"If you have anything to do, tell me." Naofumi said with a smile.

"Sir, I have developed a gun barrel. I wonder if you can take a look." He said and held up his hands.

"Oh." Naofumi took it with both hands.

"You made this." Naofumi first looked at the appearance, and there was no difference between it and an ordinary gun barrel.

Naofumi then took another look. There were riflings. It looked a bit rough. Especially at the muzzle, there were many and countless scratches. It was obvious that something like a blade was used to cut from the muzzle. Then

It was just formed. Moreover, there are four rifling lines. But the distance between them is very irregular. Specifically, the two sets of rifling lines are irregular.

Naofumi immediately guessed what was going on.

"Very good!" Naofumi said encouragingly.

"You did a great job. As long as you make the rifling a little more regular, everything will be fine." Naofumi pointed out one point.

"Really." Zhang Yuan said excitedly.

"Well, and I also plan to let you be responsible for getting all the barrels rifled. How about it?" Naofumi said with a smile.

"All of them?" Zhang Yuan said uncertainly.

"All of Da Qin's guns are rifled," Naofumi said.

"This??????" Zhang Yuan hesitated.

"It's okay, take your time, don't be anxious. Only when you dare to try can you innovate. Go to the accounting room to get the hardware as a reward." Shang Wen patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and said.

"Here." Zhang Yuan said with determination.

"By the way, sir, I have also made a kind of projectile. Please take a look, sir." As he said that, he took out a cone-shaped projectile. The cone-shaped projectile has the same shape as the bullets used by most muskets and rifled guns in the future.

"Well, this kind of projectile can be mass-produced." Naofumi looked at the projectile and said directly. Because this kind of projectile is more suitable for use on smoothbore guns. It is also more suitable for rifled guns.

"Go and inform Mr. Chen and ask him to mass-produce projectiles like yours," Shangwen said.

"Here." Zhang Yuan left happily.

After Zhang Yuan left, Shangwen carefully checked the barrel and projectiles. Some people started to explore, so he encouraged them to explore.

Seeing the very rough rifling of the barrel, Naofumi felt that he should start the major subject of chemistry. After all, the barrel requires a large amount of copper sulfate solution to complete one of the processes. Using other methods will lead to many detours. And there are

Gunpowder. Although granular gunpowder is now available, the firing method of muskets is still flintlock type. The environmental requirements are still very high.

The emergence of flash caps can solve this problem.

Next, Naofumi will start a large subject. All previous work needs to be further improved.

In Xianyang Palace, King Qin was still busy.

The first is the return of Wang Jian and Meng Tian's army. The army is escorting a large number of prisoners of war. Now that autumn has entered, it is no longer possible to start large-scale road construction. How to arrange these people.

The number of Hu people is very large. It takes tens of thousands of troops to escort nearly one million people, and the possibility of riots is very high. Moreover, there is a food problem. If there is no food, then the chance of riots will be greatly increased.

Li Si spoke first: "Your Majesty, I think a large part of it should be dealt with nearby."

"It takes a certain amount of food and grass to travel from the interior to the north. It also needs to supply a large army for garrison. In addition, there are one million barbarians and about a number of Huns. Then our food and grass needs will be greatly exhausted.

"

"In this way, Daqin will waste the whole country's energy, so a batch should be arranged near the iron factory and stone coal." This can reduce the pressure on the iron factory. Most of the rest should be transferred south, closer to the inland.

to reduce the burden on food supply."

This is Li Si's opinion.

"I disagree. It is really inappropriate to move a large number of Huns and Hu people inland." Feng Quji said loudly.

"Yes. I also think that this move is inappropriate. If a large number of Hu people and Huns move in, it will have a great impact on the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. This move is a bit risky. Moreover, the nomads in the north have always been unruly. Such unruly behavior

If a large number of people move to the inland, they will definitely become a hidden danger to our Great Qin. Our Great Qin will leave from the east

At this time, the rear will definitely be unstable. You should think twice about our king." Wei Liao said. Wei Liao's point of view is more from a military perspective. Such a large group of people suddenly migrated in. It is impossible to resolve the Qin army in a short time.

If the main force moves out from the east, it will still be impossible to suppress such a huge combat force in time.

"Well, what Mr. Wei Liao said makes sense." King Qin nodded.

"But not everything the Prime Minister said is without merit." King Qin continued.

"For example, to deal with some people nearby, Da Qin's arsenal has begun to manufacture muskets. Most of the muskets are made from iron in Guyang, and the coal also needs to be dug. Da Qin cannot remove these manpower from the mainland. It can only be solved nearby.

"The King of Qin said.

"Your Majesty, how about this? You can call, but you must use Hu people. You can use the Huns who are not familiar with the terrain and are not easy to resist. As for the Huns, they should be called south in small batches, 10,000 at a time. Go south.

Build roads." Wei Liao said.

"This method is feasible." King Qin said.

"Well, it is true that the south, especially the road to Bashu, is extremely rugged and mountainous. The Huns will not be able to adapt to it for the time being. The number of people is easy to manage. In this way, we, Daqin, can build the road to Bashu. The food of Bashu

It can go directly to the north or to the outside of the pass." Feng Quji said.

"Well, let's do it this way. Specifically, let the prime minister handle it." King Qin made the decision.

"Wang Jian's army wants to mobilize 30,000 cavalry to defend Lantian. Meng Tian is appointed as the general and takes charge of all military affairs in the north. What do you think?" King Qin asked.

"I have no objection," Li Si said first.

"I believe that part of the infantry should be mobilized to go north." Wei Liao said.

"Oh." King Qin thought about it for a while. Wang Jian transferred back all cavalry. During the winter, Meng Tian mostly used cavalry. The defensive role was not obvious. Moving the infantry north was actually a price defense.

"Well, let's do it."

"If you transfer back 30,000 yuan, you will make up for 30,000 yuan." King Qin said.

"Then which one is better to call?" King Qin asked.

"I suggest using the newly formed musketry team." Wei Liao said.
