Divine artillery?

When Yang Zhan heard this name, he couldn't help but feel slightly excited.

Divine Artillery, you can tell from the name that this is a powerful artillery!

Thinking like this, he felt impatient and wanted to see this new type of artillery called the Divine Artillery!

No matter what, the Shenwei Cannon sounds more powerful than the Hongyi Cannon, and it will definitely be more powerful!

So, he hurried to the Fuzhou War Bureau. After a series of identity verification and other processes, the War Bureau took Yang Zhan and Zhang Tongchang to the warehouse and introduced at the same time: "The construction period of the Shenwei Artillery is compared to

Ordinary artillery is longer, so there are only a hundred of them at the moment. Commander, you can deploy them on your warship according to your own situation!"

There are only a hundred artillery pieces. If it is a Xiyi warship, not an armed merchant ship, but a real warship, it is estimated that it is only the number of artillery configurations of one or two warships.

In the Ming Dynasty's navy, although the number of artillery pieces was not so dense due to the structural limitations of the Fuchuan, the number of these one hundred artillery pieces was still a little too small!

Although Yang Zhan was disappointed, he could still comfort himself.

The Shenwei Cannon is more powerful and better than the Hongyi Cannon. Just a little less. If there is more, the warships may not be able to bear it!

With this thought in mind, the group of them arrived at the warehouse.

After opening the door of the warehouse, Yang Zhan followed the direction of the war bureau manager and was dumbfounded.

When he thought about it, since the Shenwei Cannon was more powerful than the Hongyi Cannon, it must be bigger and bulkier than the Hongyi Cannon.

Unexpectedly, the Shenwei Cannon he saw in front of him was not as big as the Hongyi Cannon. How could it be more powerful than the Hongyi Cannon?

To be honest, he felt like he was being cheated!

From Yang Zhan's expression, the manager of the Military War Bureau guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Commander, don't underestimate this powerful artillery! This name was not chosen randomly!"

While he was talking, he took a booklet handed to him from the side, looked through it, found no problems, handed it to Yang Zhan and said: "This is the parameter data of the Shenwei Artillery and the

Commander, you can take a look at the operation manual."

Seeing Yang Zhan taking the booklet, he continued: "After loading it on the ship, go overseas and try it. I will send craftsmen with me. If you have any questions, you can ask them. By the way, take a look. The Shenwei Artillery is here

In terms of naval battles, is there anything that needs to be improved..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Yang Zhan say in surprise: "Ah..."

Zhang Tongchang, who was standing next to him, was startled by him. This sudden "Ah" sound sounded like he had seen a ghost. What's the matter?

After seeing Yang Zhan lose his composure, with a look of surprise and shock on his face, he turned to look at the director of the War Bureau and hurriedly confirmed: "Is the effective range of this divine artillery really that far?"

Having said this, he hurriedly added: "I mean, this Shenwei Cannon is much smaller than the Hongyi Cannon, but can it be so much more powerful than the Hongyi Cannon?"

At least before the invention of rifled artillery or rifled guns, there was common sense: the larger the artillery, the greater the power, and correspondingly, the heavier it was!

And Yang Zhan is leading troops to fight on weekdays, especially in the past two years, especially in the Japanese country. It is naturally impossible for him to learn the science of physics, and the understanding in his mind is still the previous understanding!

Seeing his shocked look, the director of the War Bureau immediately smiled and said: "If you want to make a lie in this aspect, you will lose your head. In fact, the parameters above are actually conservative. What is the real situation? The commander will look back.

Just go and try it and you will know.”

Hearing this, Yang Zhan's eyes widened immediately, and he even couldn't wait. He immediately turned around and said to the group of men following him: "Quickly, count them and take them away!"

"Wait a minute!" Unexpectedly, the director of the War Bureau smiled and waved his hand, and then said to him, "There are a thousand grenades over there, and the commander also counted them and took them away. This is because the cabinet thinks that your naval battle may be too serious.

If you need it, some of it was specially allocated from the Army."

Yang Zhan was a little confused when he heard it, but his intuition told him that this must be a good thing!

So, he quickly asked: "What is this grenade? Is it powerful?"

At this moment, without the word "divine power", he was not sure!

Seeing him like this, the director of the Military War Bureau did not answer immediately. He took him to the warehouse next door, ordered his men to open them, pointed to each box and said, "Here, this is it!"

While they were talking, the people in the warehouse had already opened the lid of the box. The director of the Military War Bureau took a grenade directly from it and handed it to Yang Zhan.

Yang Zhan looked at the weapon in his hand that looked a bit like a large hammer, or a small hammer, and wondered: Is this grenade very powerful? Why does it look a bit unreliable!

As he watched, the director of the War Bureau introduced him: "This kind of grenade must be used by those with strong strength in the army. Unscrew the wooden cover of the handle, light the fuse hidden inside and throw it out. It will

It explodes and kills a large number of people. It is a kind of small heartless cannon."

Yang Zhan was surprised when he heard this. He looked at the handle and found that it indeed had a rotating lid that could be unscrewed.

While he was looking at it, the manager of the Military War Bureau was still introducing him: "This grenade showed its talents in the battle to regain Liaodong. According to the imperial court's wishes, it was deployed in the navy. It was mainly used when enemy ships approached and tried to jump off the ship.

In time of war, let you use it to kill the enemy."

Yang Zhan was very happy to hear this, but at the same time he asked a little doubtfully: "This grenade is not very big, but the power of its explosion is really very big?"

To be honest, he was a little skeptical. As an army general, he knew very well how powerful gunpowder was!

Hearing his words, the director of the War Bureau immediately smiled and said: "Commander, don't underestimate it, there is a new type of gunpowder in it, called white gunpowder, which is at least three times more powerful than black gunpowder!"

New style? New style again? I really like the new style!

Since the emergence of geophysical studies in the Ming Dynasty, the current emperor has invented one good thing after another. As long as anything new is new, it is definitely a good thing!

No, the new artillery is called the Shenwei Artillery. In terms of parameters, it is definitely a good thing! The new gunpowder is called white gunpowder, and it is definitely a good thing. This is the foundation of firearms!

Why isn't it called Shenwei gunpowder, but white gunpowder? It's probably because of the color difference. Whatever, it doesn't matter even if it's called white gunpowder plus black gunpowder, as long as it's a new type of gunpowder!

Thinking like this, he asked in surprise: "Does that mean that all the gunpowder in our Ming Dynasty will be new gunpowder in the future, and the power of the firearms will definitely be more powerful!"

However, what surprised him was that the director of the War Bureau shook his head and said: "The output of this white gunpowder is not large, and it can only be produced by the capital at present. If the whole army wants to use it in the future, it is estimated that

It will take some time. As for how long? To be honest, I don’t know where the white gunpowder comes from, and I can’t say! But one thing I do know is that the white gunpowder and the black gunpowder are two completely different things!”

Yang Zhan couldn't help but feel a little regretful after hearing this. It is at least three times more powerful than black gunpowder. If it could be used in the army earlier, it would definitely crush the enemies, including the Western barbarians!

However, when he came back to his senses and thought about it carefully, isn't it common sense that good things are hard to make?

Thinking of this, Yang Zhan felt relieved!

But at this time, he really wanted to see these new weapons with his own eyes, so he was anxious for his subordinates to quickly take over the handover with the War and War Bureau.

Then, he was still thinking about one thing. When he saw that the director of the Military War Bureau did not take him to another warehouse, he asked a little doubtfully: "No?"

"No more!" The director of the Military War Bureau was amused by him and said to him, "How many more good things do you want? Isn't it enough?"

After hearing this, Yang Zhan was thick-skinned and unmoved. He just continued to ask: "Didn't you just say that there is another person called a heartless cannon?"

He remembered the name of this artillery very clearly. The director of the War Bureau had mentioned it, but it had never been seen before. It must be a new type of artillery!

Hearing what he said, the director of the Military War Bureau did not deny it, nodded and replied: "I have said that these are heartless cannons, but I just mentioned it and did not say that I would distribute it to you!

"

There really is a new type of artillery!

After getting this conclusion, Yang Zhan was as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He immediately stared at the director of the Military War Bureau, looking down at the manager of the Military War Bureau from a high position and asked: "Why don't you give it to me?"

Although I don’t know the specific situation, as long as it is a new artillery, it is definitely a good thing!

Well, good things come naturally to everyone who sees them!

But who would have thought that when the Bing Zhan Bureau looked at the tall man, they just clapped their hands and said, "I have to be talented if I want to distribute it to you!"

"Ah?" Yang Zhan was quite surprised when he heard this, and said with a bitter face, "So you don't have one either, haven't you made it yet?"

After hearing this, the director of the War Bureau still shook his head and said: "That's not true! The unscrupulous artillery showed its power in the battle to regain Liaodong. How could it not be made? It's just because new gunpowder is used and the output is limited.

It will only be distributed to the army. The war in the west is even more urgent!"

At this time, Yang Zhan saw the military report here in Fuzhou and knew that the western barbarians had united to attack the western part of the Ming Dynasty. But on his side, he mainly focused on patrolling and deterrence. In terms of importance, it was definitely not as important as the western side.

Therefore, Yang Zhan was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.

But soon, he cheered up again. Ignoring the heartless cannons, he quickly went to try the new weapons he got!
