"A blunderbuss is a cruder firearm than a flintlock."
Jin Feng briefly explained the principle of the fire gun, and then said: "The power of the fire gun is not as good as the crossbow, and the operation is complicated. I thought the cost performance was too low, so I didn't make it. Instead, I made a flintlock gun directly."
Only then did the Ninth Princess realize that the flintlock gun that she thought was very powerful was just a transitional product in Jin Feng's eyes.
"What about pistols, submachine guns and machine guns?" Princess Ninth asked again.
So Jin Feng briefly explained the concepts of these types of firearms to the Ninth Princess.
When the Ninth Princess heard what was happening behind her, her breathing became rapid.
After Jin Feng finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ask: "Husband, according to your opinion, pistols are repeating hand crossbows, submachine guns and rifles are repeating portable heavy crossbows, and machine guns are repeating heavy crossbows?"
"If you understand it that way, there is no problem." Jin Feng nodded slightly: "But the power of the machine gun is much greater than that of the heavy crossbow, and the rate of fire is very fast!"
"How fast?" Ninth Princess asked.
"A conservative estimate is that one breath can fire three to four times. When the technology matures in the later period, it is possible to fire more than a dozen bullets in one breath." Jin Feng replied. m.
In previous history, the sign that the dominance of cavalry was ended was the emergence of machine guns.
The power of the machine gun is too great and the shooting speed is too fast. As long as one machine gun is set up in front of the position, the enemy will not be able to rush over even if he has thousands of troops.
"Oh my God! Oh my God!"
The Ninth Princess imagined the scene of machine gun fire, and was so excited that she couldn't help but tremble slightly: "Husband, can you really make such a weapon?"
"Yes, but it will take time." Jin Feng said.
"I'm here to buy you time!" Ninth Princess said domineeringly: "From now on, husband, you don't have to worry about anything, just make the gun, and leave everything else to me!"
After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Jin Feng would be under pressure, so he quickly added: "Husband, I'm not rushing you, and you don't have to rush to get a machine gun. Just get the back-loading rifle and shotgun you mentioned...
No, you just need to make a batch of rifles, and you don’t need too many, just one for each flying team!"
Nowadays, the ground troops in Sichuan and Sichuan have almost no opponents. The only thing they have to worry about is falcons attacking airships and hot air balloons.
Each flying team is equipped with a rifle that can shoot accurately from a long distance, and the threat of falcons is eliminated.
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
Jin Feng hadn't had time to go to the steel factory yet. He wasn't sure whether the machine tool could produce a rifled barrel, and he didn't dare to say too much.
If the machine tool fails, he will first have to find a way to upgrade the machine tool.
"Husband, what is a tank?"
After looking at the firearms, Princess Ninth saw the tanks below.
"A tank is a kind of combat vehicle," Jin Feng explained the concept of a tank to the Ninth Princess again, and then sighed: "But with our current technology, we simply can't make it."
"It doesn't matter if we can't do it. As long as we have the direction, I believe that one day, my husband will be able to do it!" The Ninth Princess comforted: "In fact, as long as we can mass-produce rifles, we can basically pacify the Central Plains, and there is no need to build tanks.
come out!"
"Yes!" Jin Feng nodded in agreement: "Actually, I think so too."
Jin Feng has always adhered to the concept of equipping one generation, reserving one generation, and developing one generation when it comes to weapons.
The weapon does not need to be too far ahead of the enemy, it only needs to be one step ahead on the surface.
After all, there is no impermeable wall in the world. The enemy's meticulous work is permeable, and Jin Feng cannot guarantee that his skills will never be leaked.
For example, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess attached great importance to steam engines and paid great attention to confidentiality measures, but King Jin still found the wreckage of the airship.
Rifles will be issued to many soldiers in the future, and they will definitely be lost.
Therefore, for weapons on the surface, you don’t need to be too far ahead of the enemy, just one generation ahead is enough.
When the enemy appears with counterfeit products, equip them with the reserved generation, so that you can always be ahead.
Next, Jin Feng explained the concepts of artillery, grenades and aircraft to the Ninth Princess.
Even with the foreshadowing of the machine gun, the Ninth Princess was still shocked and dumbfounded.
"Husband, with these weapons, no one can shake the great Kangshan, and it will last forever!" the Ninth Princess said excitedly.
"No, Wuyang, it is never the weapons that shake the country, but the people and the people's hearts."
Jin Feng said: "Only by allowing the people to live a stable and prosperous life will the people be willing to follow you and the world will be peaceful.
Why did Dakang suffer from external and internal troubles in the past? It was not because Dongman and Dangxiang were too powerful, but because the class of Dakang had been solidified and the people could not see hope."
The excitement on Princess Ninth's face gradually dissipated and became serious.
"Xiaorou told me that many people now call me the God of War, saying that I am invincible in battles and have unparalleled wisdom. In fact, if you ask yourself, I am not a qualified general. I can win battles not by intelligence and weapons, but by intelligence and weapons.
Those who are brave are soldiers who are willing to die bravely in the face of enemies many times their own!"
Jin Feng continued: "Why are they willing to fight hard? It's because they have lived a hard life, and now they have finally made some progress in life. They don't want to live the same life again, and they don't even want to die!"
"Husband, I understand what you mean. In fact, I think the same thing as you."
The Ninth Princess said: "When my father was still alive, during the great court gatherings, civil and military officials could stand from the main hall to the sentinel pavilion. However, there were so many people, but they could not manage the great prosperity, which made the people miserable and full of complaints.
And in our current court, there are only a few people like Tie Shixin who can be called ministers. They don't even have a serious hall, but they still manage Sichuan and Shu in an orderly manner.
I know that this is not my ability, nor is it Tie Shixin's ability, but as you said, my husband, only when people can live a good life and feel that they have a head start in life will they support us."
"Wuyang, it's good if you understand this."
Jin Feng said with a smile: "But having said that, you are the king of a country now, and you don't even have a main hall for morning meetings. It's really not like that... Well, I'll go see the old village chief tomorrow and take a look.
Find a suitable place and build you a palace."
After the Ninth Princess ascended the throne, she has been living in a newly built courtyard behind the textile factory.
For ordinary people, this courtyard house is grand enough and suitable for living.
But for the king of a country and the first female emperor in the history of Dakang, it seemed too shabby.
Every time I called for a meeting, there was no room in the study, so I had to go to the office of the textile factory for the meeting.
Concubine Qing complained about this several times.
"Husband, that's not what I meant," the Ninth Princess quickly waved her hand and said, "We are in a difficult situation and it is not appropriate to build a palace."
