Chapter 288 Economy and Party Struggle (Twenty-Seven) Pros and Cons
Meng Guzhezhe said these words at the perfect time, covering up the delicate atmosphere in the scene. Gao Pragmatic was very pleased. It seemed that Meng Guzhezhe had indeed understood what he had said to her before, and he brought up the topic in a mixture of anger and joy.
Twist it to the side you want.
"That's a good question. This is also the reason why I came to test riding and shooting with you today." Gao Pragmatic didn't mince words and said that he was here mainly to accompany you today, and the test of the gun was just by the way, but he said straightforwardly that he wanted to test the gun.
That's the main purpose.
On the one hand, this is because Meng Guzhezhe is just a concubine after all, and Gao Pragmatic does not have to accommodate her as his wife. On the other hand, he knows that with Meng Guzhezhe's intelligence, he must have clearly seen the reason at this time, let alone those
On the contrary, the words appear to be hypocritical, which is unnecessary if they are true.
After saying this, Gao Pragmatic turned directly to the emperor and asked: "Maybe the emperor sees the uniqueness of this short gun?"
Of course, Zhu Yijun had seen muskets before, and even played with them a few times thanks to his highly pragmatic cooperation. However, he only knew a little bit about the specific structure of muskets, and he was not really proficient.
Therefore, faced with the highly pragmatic problem, he briefly played with it and examined it before shaking his head decisively and saying: "Compared with the Wanli II Style, except that the gun body is much shorter, there doesn't seem to be any difference." Then he paused.
After a pause, he thought about it and said, "Oh, I remembered. The short barrel seems to be a characteristic of lances... Are today's Wanli II lances also this short?"
Gao pragmatic nodded and said: "Exactly."
Gu Zhezhe suddenly changed his subject and asked doubtfully: "Then why is the lance so much shorter than the rifle?"
"Of course it is for the convenience of combat." Gao Pragmatic explained: "The musket is older than the old lance, and its function is similar to that of a crossbow. Therefore, while ensuring the power, it should be made as large and skillful as possible, so that it can be easily used by the cavalry. If it can be done
If it is too small, the cavalry will need to abandon the reins with both hands when using it, which fulfills the original intention of making that weapon."
Gu Zhezhe obviously understood too well and asked: "Original intention?"
Thanks to book friend "Yun Fu Yu Yu" for your monthly ticket support, thank you!
"You can't say that." Gao Pragmatic smiled and said, "That's called rifling, and it's exactly spiral."
Gao Pragmatic shook his head and said: "That depends on your Majesty's opinion that the imperial court should maintain a small scale of musketeers and cavalry. According to the minister's wishes, the imperial court's cavalry does not necessarily need to be equipped - for example, heavy cavalry specifically used to charge into battle are needed.
, and the heavy cavalry on the four sides must be deployed, but it cannot be determined by the imperial court's financial surplus."
After hearing what I said, Gu Zhezhe became less confused and asked: "You still understand that truth? What he means is that although his equestrian skills are not as good as yours, his gun is worse than your bow and arrow."
So even if none of the shots missed the target, the final result would still be worse than yours? Doesn’t it mean that muskets are more accurate than bows and arrows?"
Gao Pragmatic smoothly inserted the new bullet from the barrel of the gun, then raised the muzzle of the gun, pointed to the outside of the muzzle and said: "The secret is in the barrel of the gun." Then he handed the gun back to the emperor.
And Gu Zhezhe even had to look carefully at each one. Fei Yingdong next to him just glanced at it and reported the results: "Ten targets, the master won a total of 81 rings, and Gege won a total of 81 rings. In addition,
, Master, not a single target missed the target, and all the targets were under the target.”
PS: I finally connected a few things together, and that chapter is really not that difficult.
"Uh, well..." Gu Zhezhe coughed heavily, as if he didn't want to comment.
"Your Majesty." Gao Pragmatic stretched out his hand towards the emperor, and the emperor subconsciously handed me the gun.
Gao Pragmatic was stunned and asked: "Your Majesty, do you mean everything?"
When I said this, I looked at Meng Gu and said wisely: "Meng Gu is like that. You are arrogant and can't achieve the unity of man and horse. That is what will happen. Therefore, although you are not as good as in the hands of the minister,
It is a sharp weapon, but it can ensure that every arrow hits the target - of course, the accuracy of the bow and arrow is better than that of the musket in Dechen's hand."
Gao pragmatic thought for a while and said: "Compared to the old guns, it is true."
Gu Zhezhe pondered for a moment and asked: "The imperial court does not have many cavalry now?"
Gao Pragmatic smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you understand?"
"Yes." Gao pragmatically said: "Your Majesty should have seen the competition between me and Meng Gu just now, and also saw how I used the lance, and how Meng Gu rode and shot. It is because of your Majesty's opinion that I and Meng Gu
Who among the seven men from Menggu has better riding skills?"
"Why is it done like that?" Wei Langyuan wondered: "When I was a child, I saw in the memorials of the Ministry of War that the barrels made in few places were of good quality, and the barrels often exploded during use, and this is the most accurate one.
It has a cylindrical barrel, and now that the structure of his gun is so correct, it must be more difficult to manufacture... If I am wrong, the cost will definitely be slightly reduced?"
Gu Zhezhe's face showed no sign of solution. He hesitated and asked tentatively: "Whirlpool?"
Gao pragmatically said weakly: "It's the musket that is more accurate than the bow and arrow, but the musket is more accurate than the bow and arrow. The archery skills of the bow and arrow can be said to be easy to learn but difficult to master. It only requires extremely stable arm strength, training and training."
For a well-preserved bow, even when shooting, you have to consider the type of arrows used, the wind speed at the time... and so on.
Because Gao Qingshi hadn't put the bullet in and out in front of everyone, Wei Langyuan didn't suspect me, so he directly stared at the muzzle of the gun with one eye and looked out of the barrel. After just one glance, he said "Eh"
.
Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "No problem, I am an official. Your Majesty must care that I will not lose face because of Your Majesty's outspokenness."
In short, an excellent archer only needs long-term training to improve his level, and he also needs to maintain a certain level of training for a long time to maintain that level. Just like Meng Gu, when you first came to the capital, your archery skills were even worse than they are today.
, I practiced a lot in those few years, and my level started to slip.”
Gu Zhezhe took advantage of that moment to finally understand what Gao Pragmatic meant, and said thoughtfully: "He means that the original intention of making that lance was not to wipe out the difference between your Han cavalry and the prairie cavalry in terms of riding skills.
difference?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, sir." Meng Guzhezhe responded loudly.
"Your Majesty, Shengming." Gao Pragmatic nodded happily and said: "Without that lance, the Han cavalry's riding disadvantage to the prairie cavalry would have been equalized by less than half. Or to put it more precisely, that lance saved the day."
The Han cavalry has been carefully trained for years at most - at most when it comes to long-range shooting."
Meng Guzhezhe's face turned red and he held his head high while talking. Gao Qingpang saw it and said with a smile: "It must be like this. He also uses such superb shooting skills now. He just has time to play around and just treat it as a pastime."
----------
How can Gu Zhezhe know how to check the target? It's too bad, but there are no professional skills in that matter, because it is too intuitive - there must be an arrow under the target, this is not Wei Langzhezhe's achievement; there must be no bullet holes, this is not low pragmatism
results.
The bad thing is that the emperor also cares about technical details, and instead asked again: "Everything that has no advantages must have no disadvantages. Since there are so few disadvantages, so the disadvantage...isn't it the cost?"
"Oh, 'as long as' is 80% lower?" Gu Zhezhe glared at me angrily and said: "He said a small amount, is this a small amount? In the long run, Xiaozhi needs the court to purchase a small amount every year
How many strokes can we use to keep the old out of the new?”
"It's true that we haven't lowered it. It's just a 'small' increase." Gao said pragmatically: "I have confirmed it twice, and it must be made in small quantities. The price will only be reduced by about 80%."
Meng Guzhezhe listened without any worries, and glanced at his master quietly, but he nodded calmly and said: "That's right, the emperor is right. I think my riding skills are not too bad, but I think I
Compared with Wei Lang, but if it is a small one, I am afraid that my shooting performance will be even worse than that of Meng Gu, Your Majesty."
That really confused Low Pragmatic. I shook my head and said: "Your Majesty, you know that there is always no discrepancy between the number of various arms in the military registers and the actual number. The same is true for cavalry."
.Also, since His Majesty mentioned this matter, I don’t have anything else to say... I have been debating for a long time and plan to propose a comprehensive reform of the national military system. I am certain that Your Majesty will approve it, so the current military establishment will also be
There will be no changes.”
Gao Qingshi smiled and said nothing, waving towards the shooting range, and ten servants came slowly over, each holding a target. Gao Qingshi extended his hand to the emperor in a gesture of invitation and said: "Your Majesty,
The target is here, please check it, Your Majesty."
After all, it was not embarrassing to miss the target. Gao Pragmatic coughed heavily and explained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I missed the target because of my superb riding skills. At that time, the horse had a slightly smaller step.
I was distracted by controlling the horse, hoping to make it run more smoothly, but when the time came to shoot, I was distracted and missed the target.”
"Yes." Wei Langyuan nodded and said correctly.
Gu Zhezhe was doubtful: "Really?" According to my understanding, since there is no obvious difference in riding skills, the shooting skills should also be different. How come you are so confident despite being so pragmatic?
Gu Zhezhe did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment before asking again: "Aside from being more accurate than previous muskets, does the new gun have any other advantages?"
Gu Zhezhe's face was not tense at all, and he smiled and said: "Since he said that, I can only say it bluntly - it seems that his wife Ru's riding skills are indeed worse than him, which is shameful.
She is a girl from the Ye He family who is the number one horseman in Manchuria. When he is shooting, he holds the rein with one hand, but when you draw the bow, you are completely free from the rein. This shows that in terms of riding skills alone, you should be able to beat him."
Gu Zhezhe's eyes suddenly brightened up, he stared at the lance outside his hand and looked back and forth, saying: "How dare you be so cruel! I'm sorry, but I still understand that there is no difference between that gun and the Wanli Seven Styles in the past... I remember
In terms of accuracy, all future muskets seem to be excellent."
"This gun has eight small advantages: it is more accurate, farther, and easier to break armor." Low Pragmatic Complex introduced. Obviously, since that gun bears the heavy responsibility of technical barriers, I will explain it in detail casually——
