The first one was in the second year of Chongzhen. After the Qing army captured Zunhua, they took the local miners and iron smelting workers captive and took them to Liaodong. Liaodong was originally one of the four major iron mining areas in China.
The iron mines in Anshan and the coal mines in Benxi are connected by a river that can be transported by water. The scale of Jiannu's steel industry soon surpassed that of the Ming Dynasty.
From then on, the equipment of the Eight Banners became more and more sophisticated, and the Ming Dynasty was completely at a disadvantage.
Historical records record that for more than a hundred miles along the Hun River in Shenyang, there were endless blacksmith furnaces, working day and night to build weapons and armor. From then on, the Ming army had no advantage even in cold weapons and equipment.
The second key node is the Dengzhou Rebellion.
Sun Yuanhua persuaded the artillery casting research team and the first pure firearms unit to all join Jiannu. From then on, Jiannu completely mastered the casting technology of red cannons and the production technology of blunderbuss.
After this time, the city walls of the Ming Dynasty could no longer resist Jiannu. High walls were not enough to rely on.
Especially in the late Chongzhen Dynasty, after the Qing Dynasty had the ability to cast large-caliber heavy artillery by itself, the Qing army entered the pass and moved south, and there was no longer a city wall that could withstand it.
In the early days, the days when Sun Chengzong's high walls alone could block the establishment of slaves were gone forever.
Sun Chengzong himself was also attacked by the Qing army when they went south. The Qing army used heavy artillery to open the city wall of Gaoyang County. Master Sun's family was killed. This biggest enemy of the Qing Dynasty was basically wiped out.
Although Yang Fan had moved most of the technicians and workers to industrial zones for protection, 100,000 people in factories and mines controlled by civilian officials still fell into the hands of the slaves.
But there was nothing Yang Fan could do, he couldn't control the civil servants.
But Yang Fan won't let them have an easy time. Yang Fan will arrange everything for them on his way back.
Huang Taiji was on the Drum Tower, looking down at the two shantytowns in the distance. There were shouts of killing and explosions. There was smoke everywhere, and many houses were burned to the ground.
Both the Han army flags and the militiamen pushed up small artillery and used it to bombard each other. This was discovered by both sides on the third day of the street fighting. It is very effective to use artillery to participate in the offensive and defensive battles of barricades.
Factories in the industrial zone even temporarily started casting mountain-splitting cannons and other small and portable artillery pieces.
This kind of small artillery can be pushed forward by two people and carried by four or five people.
Street fighting in shantytowns relies on industrial areas. This kind of small artillery can be temporarily cast. Dozens of them can be cast in one night. Just cast steel cannons directly.
The mountain-splitting cannon is a light field gun. The mountain-splitting cannon existed during the Qianlong period. When it was used by the Hunan Army, both Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang designed new mountain-splitting cannons.
Zuo Zongtang once briefly introduced Liu Xiaxian: "The near-life system of splitting the mountain by a hundred statues (the style is like a big cannon, but the body is only five feet, can eat half a catty of food, half a catty of food, can travel four or five miles), restricted It will be completed in January.”
In fact, mountain-splitting guns range from more than 40 kilograms to several hundred kilograms. They can be said to be a general term for a large class of light artillery. They do not have fixed specifications. They are a lightweight field gun that is easy to move with the army.
Li Yongfang, on the other hand, used small Fran machine guns. Now, after several days of non-stop attacks, the houses in the two shantytowns collapsed. It was a mess. There were ruins of buildings everywhere.
These houses were originally crudely built. The walls were only half a brick thick and not strong. After both sides used small artillery, these walls were basically filled with holes.
Soldiers from both sides chased and shot each other in the three-dimensional space, upstairs and downstairs, and around the corners of the streets. They hacked and killed each other.
Six days have passed since the start of the fight. The gunpowder in the industrial area has obviously become tense.
Luo Siyuan had to control the gunpowder and use it mainly as propellant for artillery. In this way, the use of relatively low-efficiency three-eyed blunderbuss, sharp guns, etc. was stopped.
But muskets were needed for street fighting. He finally decided to take out the inventory of 30,000 Kiranduni air rifles from the warehouse and distribute these weapons to militiamen and strong men.
The developer of this gun was an Austrian gunsmith (Bartholomus Girandoni), who developed it in 1779. It was first called the "Spear of the Wind" and was presented as tribute to Qianlong by Magerni.
In Europe, because it is not affected by the environment, rain, snow and moisture, and can fire 20 lead bullets at once like a machine gun, it was quickly equipped in the army.
The lead bullets used in this gun are low-cost. The shooter of the Wind Gun can continuously fire 20 rounds of lead bullets within half a minute. Its effective killing distance is 100 meters. It can rival Qing Gong in terms of range. Qing Gong
With big arrows, you can only shoot straight, not projectile. In terms of the combat distance between the two sides, the air rifle even has some advantages.
Within the effective killing range, lead bullets can penetrate 1-inch-thick wooden boards. In other words, the killing power of bullets fired from this air gun is about the same as that of a pistol.
The butt of the Kiranduni air rifle is equipped with a compressed air storage bottle to provide a source of power. The Kiranduni air rifle can fire .51 caliber lead bullets (13mm), and can achieve continuous fire at 100 meters.
It has excellent lethality within a certain distance.
Yang Fan thinks this thing is really good. The advantage is that it can fire continuously. It has high firepower density, fast rate of fire, and it is extremely accurate.
After firing one shot of the musket, ammunition needs to be loaded in front of the barrel. Compared with powder guns, air guns have extremely obvious advantages. They can be fired continuously. Twenty rounds of lead bullets are loaded. They can be fired continuously. This kind of storm is like a storm.
Under the pressure of the enemy, once it is put into the battlefield, the effect will be one-sided.
Air guns are not as susceptible to rain and humid weather as gunpowder guns. Air guns do not produce smoke when fired and are extremely concealable. They are especially suitable for ambush warfare, street fighting, and night fighting.
The biggest flaw of this air gun is its gas cylinder. One gas cylinder is only enough to fire 30 rounds of lead bullets. To fill a gas cylinder requires about 1500 blows with a pump, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. It can be said that shooting is a pleasure.
, my waist is broken due to exhaustion.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It takes an hour to cheer up, but you can only feel free for half a minute.
But this is not a problem. Now there are more than 200,000 people gathered in the industrial zone, and they are idle.
The industrial zone is in charge of food and drink, so they might as well just pump gas. Each person has a pump and a large number of cylinders. They can pump gas day and night.
Send the filled cylinders to the front line on a trolley. The soldiers on the front line will replace the cylinders after they are finished.
Because Yang Fan has improved this rifle. The original gun cylinder is integrated and needs to be inflated by the entire gun.
The model copied by Yang Fan is split, and the lead bullets are replaced with thirty rounds per magazine, which are directly inserted into the gun body. The gas cylinder can be fired exactly thirty times, and can be flexibly disassembled and assembled.
After firing thirty rounds, you can continue firing as long as you change the magazine and gas bottle.
It is said that the Austrian Emperor Joseph particularly liked to use this kind of air rifle when hunting because it made less noise, and the key point was that this thing was rifled and the shooting was quite accurate. It could be said that it hit 100 times at 50 meters.
This kind of gun also has disadvantages, that is, the parts and structure of the air gun are extremely precise. Production is difficult and costly. However, Yang Fan has the machine tools to produce such a small thing.
This made the daily maintenance of the air rifle difficult, so only more than 1,500 Kiranduni air rifles were produced, and they were retired after only serving for more than 35 years.
But that's not a problem, it's urgent now. Who cares about maintenance? Let's use it first and then talk about it.
Yang Fan considered that this thing does not require gunpowder. The cost of use is very low, and it is especially suitable for civilian use. One bottle of gas only consumes two steamed buns.
Moreover, one hundred meters can penetrate an inch of hard wood, which is very useful against unprotected targets and is very powerful. Even if an enemy wearing a layer of armor, scale armor, mountain pattern armor, or chain mail cannot penetrate, this kinetic energy
It is also enough to cause severe blunt trauma and render the enemy incapable of combat.
Even if it doesn't penetrate the armor at medium and short range, it's still possible to break bones.
It is also a great threat to deal with the triple-armored Yao La soldiers within thirty meters.
After all, the armor of this era is not plate armor, and there are a lot of exposed limbs. For example, the face. Masks are generally not equipped in this era. Another example is the inner side of the arms and the thighs under the armor skirt. As long as you move, these parts will be exposed.
