Chapter 574 Brother-in-law, can I give you a shot?
Today, Qin Yu developed two types of firearms: artillery and fierce fire oil tanks.
It really brought great shock and impact to everyone in Emperor Wei.
They never thought that weapons could be developed to look like this.
Although the Fierce Oil Tank does not have the range and explosive damage of an artillery gun.
But when fighting at close range, it is obvious how powerful the fire oil tank can be.
If the enemy is burned by such a fierce flame, his skin will peel off even if he doesn't die, and iron has a stronger thermal conductivity.
The firepower network created by a fierce fire oil tank cannot be easily broken through.
This time is a fortified battle. We have the weapons to attack the city and the weapons to hold the position.
Emperor Wei calmed down and looked at Qin Yu, his eyes full of shock, "Good son-in-law, you have researched all these things by yourself?"
Qin Yu said lightly: "That's right? You didn't spend this money in vain, did you?"
Emperor Wei smiled and said: "Look at what you said, when did I say that you spend money in vain?"
at the same time.
Xiao Nan, Shen Binglan and Jiang Honglang looked at Qin Yu with eyes full of admiration.
The Prince Consort is an admirable person.
His talent can really be said to be extraordinary. In their eyes, these weapons should not belong to this world in the first place, but they were suddenly studied by the Prince Consort.
From now on, even if Qin Yu can study something from heaven, they won't find it strange.
Emperor Wei asked again: "Good son-in-law, do you have any other weapons?"
Qin Yu shook his head, "We only have these two firearms at the moment, but they are enough to attack Liangzhou Kendi."
Emperor Wei nodded and waved his hand, "We will go to war with Liangzhou in three months. Mass production of artillery and fierce fire oil tanks will begin soon!"
As he said that, he looked at Qin Wenyao and said, "Wenyao, the money allocated to the Firearms Department must not be careless!"
Qin Wenyao nodded in response, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can still understand the seriousness of this matter. I will approve the money after Wei Chen returns."
The attack on Liangzhou is about to begin in March. This matter is no joke, and Qin Wenyao will naturally not delay.
Emperor Wei nodded, then looked at Qin Yu and asked: "Good son-in-law, please explain to me how you, a fierce fire tanker, can shoot out flames ten feet away when you push the guard."
At this time, he was full of curiosity about the fierce fire oil tank.
Emperor Wei was not the only one curious.
Everyone in Xiao Nan was also very curious.
If this is not a firearm made by the Firearms Department.
They all thought that this was Qin Yu's magic weapon dropped from the sky.
Qin Yu said lightly: "Actually, the reason is very simple. The cabinet below is a fuel tank, which is forged from wrought copper and is filled with specially prepared fire oil."
"As long as we pull this guard backward, the fierce fuel oil will enter the fire tube along these vertical pipes. When we push the fierce fuel oil in the fire tube forward and pass the ignition device in the front section, it will instantly
Spouting flames, this is the principle of the fierce fire oil tank."
Listen to Qin Yu's explanation.
Everyone in Emperor Wei suddenly realized this and were filled with emotions.
"You are truly worthy of being a prince-in-law. He is so smart and witty. He is so intelligent that he is so smart that he can even research such a sophisticated mechanism. It is really amazing."
"An artillery piece and a heavy fire oil tank are all the secret weapons we need to attack Liangzhou this time. When King Guo Mingcheng of Liang sees our Wei Dynasty's firearms, he may even regret it in his intestines."
"That's natural. Now this battle is no longer a question of whether Guo Mingcheng wants to fight or not, but whether we are willing to give him a way to live. If he goes against the court, he will only die."
...
The firearms developed by Qin Yu gave everyone great confidence and encouragement to attack Liangzhou.
After visiting the artillery and heavy fire oil tanks.
Everyone also has great confidence in the construction and improvement of Wei's military power.
Emperor Wei looked at the artillery and the fierce fire oil tank, looked at Qin Yu, and asked: "Son-in-law, you said that we have weapons, do you want to form an army dedicated to using firearms? Otherwise, how will these weapons be equipped? If there is no unified
Management, if someone steals it, it will be troublesome."
Emperor Wei had always had a strong desire to protect these things.
After returning today, he planned to strengthen the defense of the Firearms Department.
There is no way, the power of firearms is too strong.
Once artillery and fire oil tanks appear in the Battle of Liangzhou, they will inevitably be coveted by many countries. It is impossible for such a lethal weapon not to be valued and feared by other countries.
Once they are targeted by other countries, they will try their best to steal firearms-related secrets.
This is something that Emperor Wei would never allow to happen.
The Firearms Department has become the top secret in the Wei Dynasty's military in the heart of Emperor Wei.
Listen to what Emperor Wei said.
Qin Yu nodded and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty is right. In the future, there will be more and more types of firearms in the Wei Dynasty, and the required professionalism will also be higher and higher, so it is still very necessary to form a firearms army.
.”
Firearms Army?
Listen to what Qin Yu and Wei Huang said.
Xiao Nan and Jiang Honglang all raised their chests unconsciously.
These three short words will become exclusive to the Great Wei in the future. Apart from the Great Wei, there will never be another country in the world with such a powerful army.
Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows slightly and said thoughtfully: "Okay, then I will listen to you and we will form a firearms army."
Qin Yu thought for a while and then said: "The establishment is 30,000, and it has three regiments: artillery regiment, fierce fire regiment and baggage regiment. The artillery regiment carries 500 artillery pieces and 2,500 artillerymen; the fierce fire regiment carries fierce fire oil tanks.
There are three hundred gates and 900 fire control personnel; the baggage regiment has 5,000 baggage soldiers, and all the remaining personnel are included in the reserves."
The power of firearms is well known, but their poor maneuverability is also obvious.
Therefore, the firearms army also has the largest number of heavy troops.
Listen to Qin Yu's words.
Emperor Wei turned to look at Jiang Honglang, Minister of War, "Did you hear what my son-in-law said? Just do what he wants and transfer 30,000 people from the Twelve Guards to the Firearms Department, and then form a Firearms Army. This is the sixth year of Longsheng.
The most important thing for me, Da Wei."
Jiang Honglang looked serious and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the subordinates will be transferred out of their humble posts within three days."
Jiang Honglang is not a fool, and he naturally understands how much Emperor Wei attaches importance to this matter.
Jiang Honglang naturally knew how important artillery and fire oil tanks were to the Wei military, so he would never dare to neglect them.
Xiao Nan had already walked to the cannon and was stroking the cannon so much that he was drooling.
For a war maniac like Xiao Nan, this artillery is simply a magical thing.
Xiao Nan looked at Qin Yu, his eyes brightened, and he said seriously: "Brother-in-law, can I give you a shot?"
