From Soldier To Emperor

Nominally, the last regular army of the southern frontier defense of the Tang Dynasty over 10,000 people. After the Zhao's Song Dynasty expanded to the border of the Tang Dynasty, this regular army and the land under its control were all thrown into the embrace of the Zhao's Song Dynasty under the leadership of the main general!

Suddenly, the Southern Jidu collapsed the morale of the last few crooked resistances of the Alliance. Song Guoguang of the Zhao clan sent envoys to negotiate and unified the entire South!

The chain reaction caused by this incident is not over here. After all the Southern Jiedu Envoys were incorporated by the Song State of Zhao, a large number of southern cities under the control of the Tang State have invested in Zhao under the leadership of the landlord, gentry and proletarian forces. In the arms of the Song State.

The defense of Chang'an City has not yet separated a result, and 80% of the remaining land of the Tang State voluntarily surrendered to the Song State of Zhao Clan!

Obviously, Tang's series of failures against Green Skin and the loss of a large number of troops have caused the Tang court to have completely lost the support of the landlord, gentry and proletarian forces. The reason why Chang'an City is still under the control of the Tang court is just a group of defeated troops. The soldiers need the Tang court to direct them to continue to resist Green Skin.

However, after Zhao's Song State took over the Tang state's large-scale Central Plains territory, it immediately made drastic reforms to the local celebrities.

It is not a reform, but compulsory implementation of the Song State Law.

The Song State was the result of the rise of the Jiedu Envoy, who was once the local clan, and naturally he was unwilling to retain the high-ranking officials in his territory, such as Jiedu and the local clansman.

Both the surrendered Jidu Envoy or the local celebrities were liquidated by the Song Kingdom of the Zhao clan. However, the Song Kingdom of the Zhao clan did not cut it down with a single knife. The control of local administrative finances and military power by the diplomats and local celebrities still retains their own private property and social status.

If you are willing to be an official, you can continue to be an official in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, you can only be a civil official...

Fortunately, under the threat of Lupi, the Song State of Zhao did not resort to the faint move of using Wen Yuwu. The power of the Song State court still maintained a balance. The Emperor of the Song State of Zhao was also an immediate general, all the way from Jedu has smashed the throne of the emperor!

This is the report that Richard gets now...

"Master, the reason why the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty is so strong is because they have developed a mature matchlock gun for war.

This kind of weapon fired by matchlocks can simply pull a farmer to train for three months to set foot on the battlefield. It solves the problem of a large number of veterans consumed by long-term wars for the Southern Song Dynasty and strengthens their war potential, so that they can repeatedly win in the war.

Every battle initiated by the Southern Song army will occupy an absolute superior force, and sometimes the superiority in force can reach more than twice the enemy's!

This kind of matchlock can penetrate the heavy armor worn by the warrior at a close range, and our heavy armored unit may suffer large-scale casualties when confronted with it. "

Genevieve reported with a prudent face.

"Unexpectedly, the Southern Song Dynasty developed the matchlock gun on the basis of the flintlock gun so soon. The war is indeed the best military technology trigger. It seems that Green Skin has put a lot of pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty. The Lord understands that in order to defeat Greenskins, everyone must be able to enter the battlefield.

Did Jin Yiwei catch the opponent's matchlock master? "

"On the territory controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty, matchlock workshops have been blooming everywhere to maintain the growing force of the Southern Song Dynasty. The difficulty of capturing matchlock masters is several times lower than in the past. Jin Yiwei has already adopted methods such as buying, kidnapping and directly arresting. Continued to recruit hundreds of Southern Song artisans to build matchlock guns, enough to support our establishment of the first firearms workshop.

There are also more than a dozen households who are specialized in making guns, and we can build our own thunderbolt guns. "

In order to make the Southern Song craftsmen work hard to build firearms for the Ming court, Jin Yiwei and the craftsmen's family packed and ‘shipped’ them back.

"Is there any hope to create a flintlock gun?"

Richard suddenly asked when he heard this.

"The idea of ​​flint firing a musket has been communicated with the craftsmen of the Southern Song Dynasty by Jin Yiwei, which is theoretically feasible, but the craftsmen have raised a problem that they cannot solve-spring.

If you want to make the flint hit a fixed part when you pull the trigger, you must have a very elastic device to make a bolt action. Otherwise, if you pull the trigger manually, it will be difficult for the flint to collide with sparks to ignite the black powder in the chamber..."

After hearing this, Richard was stunned. This was indeed something he didn't expect. A small spring turned out to be the biggest obstacle to the progress of a matchlock to a flintlock!

Think about it, the musket itself is a super-epoch product for this era, where is there any spring match!

As for the invention of the spring...

Richard, a scumbag, said he could do nothing...

The saddest thing is that the matchlock gun used by the Mingjun Shenji Camp is nothing more than a better quality, and there are no so-called springs in it!

The impact speed required to ignite black powder with a match rope and flint to ignite black powder is quite different ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Without a spring, it is difficult for a human finger to pull the trigger connected to the speed of the flint, and it is difficult to collide with sparks.

Even if a person holds two pieces of flint in his hand and rubs each other hard, it takes several times to produce sparks, let alone pulling the trigger with his fingers?

I can’t get on the battlefield and pull the trigger many times in a row, fight the chance to collide with sparks...

So what is the difference between doing and suicide?

"Well, then collect the craftsmen and offer a reward to solve the spring problem of the flintlock. As long as the spring for the flintlock can be researched, the court can directly reward the honorary title!"

Honor knighthood is a set of life-long noble honors established by Richard. There is a fixed amount of annuity rewards, but there is no enfeoffment of land, and it cannot be hereditary.

The difficulty of obtaining the title of Ming Kingdom, which has already laid a huge territory, is also increasing day by day. Now, in addition to making major contributions and obtaining great military exploits, it is not easy to obtain honorary titles, let alone hereditary titles.

Today, the hereditary titles of Ming Ting are a group of founding fathers who once followed Richard in the Western Regions.

This is the first time Richard has offered a prize for the title!

As for money, Richard, such as gold and silver, is even more generous!

The title represents the social status and future life dependence, and the bounty can instantly turn people into a local tyrant.

Soon, under the order of Richard, with samples of mature matchlock guns from Shenjiying and a group of Southern Song firearms craftsmen with rich experience in craftsmanship, large-scale firearms have been built in the rear of the Ming court.

The matchlock gun is not much different from the mature matchlock gun developed in the Southern Song Dynasty, but the artillery has begun to make strides forward to the era of the smoothbore gun after Richard provided several suggestions for improvement.
