The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

After discussing these matters, it was already late at night. Naofumi dragged his tired body and sat in the car thinking about the issue of building an army.

The navy is also a service that is highly dependent on technology. King Qin obviously realized this. But he still had to build the army himself. How to do it? Shangwen had a headache. The emergence of a technical service was already troublesome enough.

.But when another military branch appeared, Naofumi collapsed. The technical reserves could no longer keep up with the demand.

The generals of the Qin Army are generating a steady stream of wild ideas, but their technology has been slow to keep up. This is not something they can blame themselves for. This requires a person who builds the foundation. For this foundation, Naofumi can only take his time. Without a hundred

It is impossible to have such a solid foundation in years.

But Naofumi thought of another thing. That is to rely on the navy to seize rubber resources. If there is no outlet to the sea, establish a colonial-style outlet to the sea. On the southern coastline, there is no place for the Six Kingdoms, so establish the Qin State there.

military seaport. Then transfer the entire navy overseas. Before that, you need to build a fleet and fight it out. Moreover, this fleet will start

It is impossible to build it very big. The river limits the size of the fleet itself. In the Yellow River, or Honggou, some places can still be discussed briefly, especially Honggou, this artificial canal developed in the early Warring States Period, in the Wei State as a whole

With the decline of strength, it also lost its original function. Some places can no longer be connected. This means that Qin's naval fleet can only park there.

However, another outlet to the sea can be considered, and that is the Yangtze River. The land of Bashu is under the control of the Qin State. As long as the Qin State establishes a shipyard in Bashu, the Qin State's fleet can go directly from Bashu to the east along the Yangtze River. Although Chu

country, but as long as the Qin fleet is enough

It is powerful. It can directly control the entire Yangtze River waterway. Then, it turns to today's Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, today's Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and all the way to the Strait of Malacca in Singapore. In this way, the rubber resources in the south

At once

It can be transported directly to the hinterland of Qin through this golden waterway, and then a developed road and railway system can be established in Bashu. Or a rubber factory can be built locally to complete this rubber road. Thinking of this, Shangwen believed that the establishment of the navy

.Solved a major problem in moving south. But I am afraid that another branch of the military will be born. That is the Marine Corps. Naofumi believes that the independence of the Marine Corps is necessary. The future combat mode will be amphibious operations. It must be a team that is proficient in landing.

combat troops to complete.

Naofumi thought of this. He felt that it was better to let nature take its course. For example, according to the original plan, the establishment of the navy should wait until Qin had an outlet to the sea. However, during the construction stage of the military academy, the King of Qin and the military generals realized the importance of the navy.

Importance. Establishing it early. This point has to be said to be beyond Naofumi's expectation.

Rather than forcefully recommending it, it is better to follow the current situation step by step. Naofumi himself does not know how history will develop.

Naofumi took out his notebook and began to sketch. What Naofumi sketched was the uniform of the navy. The uniforms of the Heavenly Army are sky blue. The navy is naturally mainly white. The army will not care about it. But Naofumi is sure. When the Heavenly Army and the

After the Navy's uniforms come out, the Army will definitely complain, because their uniforms are much inferior to those of the Heavenly Army and the Navy. In this way, the competition between the services will suddenly begin. Just because of this military uniform, both sides will probably

A big fight is impossible.

When Qin State was making every effort to build its own new army, Yan State was not idle either. They began to imitate Qin State's artillery and muskets.

Ever since the State of Yan occupied Julu City in the State of Zhao, the whole country was cheering. The people of the State of Yan seemed to have seen the heyday of King Zhao's period again. When the news of the victory reached the capital of Yan, the whole State of Yan was singing and dancing. The long-lost victory finally came.

.This was the first time that Yan State felt the taste of victory.

Stimulated by victory, King Yan recognized this weapon from Qin, but when it came time to pay for it, he hesitated.

King Yan originally decided to spend 100,000 gold to buy firearms, but he also wanted to build pavilions and pavilions. He spent this part of the money. Now without this part of the money, naturally he cannot buy muskets and artillery.

Ju Xin knew the King of Yan very well, so he naturally knew how to make suggestions. So, the work of imitating Qin's firearms began.

Under the command of Feng Quji, the State of Qin gathered a large number of craftsmen from the Six Nations, but there were also some patriots among them. Feng Quji originally wanted to kill those craftsmen, but he felt a little guilty due to moral principles, so he did not implement it.

The State of Yan is a very strange country. The people of Yan are often oppressed by the King of Yan, but the people of Yan have a very strong sense of belonging. This is one of the reasons why the Zhao army failed to occupy it repeatedly. The same goes for the craftsmen.

The number of craftsmen obtained by the state was the smallest. This also gave the Yan state the technical basis for imitating muskets and artillery.

"Sir," a workman said with his hands raised.

"Except for the musket, the artillery imitation work has been completed. Please take a look, sir." Gong Cheng said in a low voice.

"Yeah." Ji Xin agreed.

Looking at a barrel that was thicker than Qin's artillery, Ju Xin frowned.

"Why is it so big?" Ji Xin said with a frown.

"Sir, this is a replica of the first artillery piece." Gong Cheng said.

"Is it a Qin-made two-inch caliber?" Ju Xin asked again.

"Sir, this is the two-inch caliber of our Yan State. The two-inch caliber of our Yan State is much larger and more powerful than the caliber of the Qin State." Gong Cheng said.

"Well. Very good. Very good. By the way, as for the cannonballs, there should be no problem." Ji Xin asked again.

"No. No problem." Gong Cheng replied immediately.

"Yes. Very good. But why is it not made of copper? It is made of iron." Ji Xin asked again.

"Sir, this copper is more expensive than iron. The hardness of iron is better than copper. If iron is used, wouldn't it be more powerful than Qin's artillery?" Gong Cheng said ambiguously.

"That's right. You're smart." Ji Xin happily pointed at Gong Cheng and said.

"Okay. Test the cannon." Ji Xin shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty has an order. Test the cannon." The generals below shouted one after another.

"Bang." A cannonball was fired from Yan Guo's imitation cannon.

Ju Xin watched the flying shells from a distance.

"How is the situation? Take a look quickly." Ji Xin ordered.

"Here." A lieutenant general agreed, then turned and left.
