Chapter 282 The smoke of gunpowder finally rises and the stirrups hang (2)

The five reasons that are justified are all justified.

It is really difficult to train archers. The rural shooting and winter martial arts system, which was originally compatible with copper stone agriculture and village and community feudal system, will also lose its foundation with the promotion of new planting technologies and iron tools.

A midwife needs to be good at ejaculation, but it is too expensive to keep a soldier.

Decades later, archers were still rare, so that countries began to use the three-finger technique to cultivate archers. When Pang Juan died at Sun Bin's hand, the historical records also recorded "ten thousand crossbows at the same time" rather than "ten thousand arrows at the same time".

The Mohist family can make crossbows, but crossbows may not be as fast as primitive muskets. In addition, crossbow arrows are not easy to make, and it also takes enough strength to open crossbows, so these reasons sound acceptable.

However, the most important reason is the fifth.

Shi once again brought out two false masters.

It is no longer the same as before when we brought out the two masters.

Because Shi created many strange but very effective things, the two fictitious masters became divine dragons but not at all.

There were many hermits at this time, and no one dared to say that these two people did not exist, or that they did not exist.

It was said that both of them were dead and burned to ashes in a fire. The elder brother of the only classmate floated in the sea to chase the stars, which was beyond verified.

With the corpses of two fictitious people, Shi's words made people believe it a little more: Shi said that he had seen a firearm with a speed of fire that was as powerful as a crossbow arrow, and everyone believed it eighth in their hearts.

The device of the snake hook fencing rope is not too difficult to make, but it is not suitable for you, but it is clear that the concept and principles are clearly explained. I think the Mohist craftsmen can always make it in time.

After hearing the five reasons, Mo Zi walked over and held the heavy primitive musket tightly with his hands, picked up the broken wood chips, and sighed for some reason.

The disciples asked for some reason.

Mo Zi glanced at Shi and smiled bitterly, "The five reasons you mentioned are the reasons that can be used in this kind of firearm."

"But I heard that after I died... if the world is still uncertain, the dispute will be even more chaotic."

"In March, peasants can accumulate lead pills. This is the only thing that countries will recruit soldiers."

"I'm not saying that this thing cannot be used, but using it must be done within thirty or fifty years to make the world stable, otherwise it will only cause a hundred years of disaster and fight among countries."

"The more peasant soldiers participated in the war, the hatred of the countries in the end will not be between princes and nobles, but the Wei people hated the Qin people, Qi people hated the Wei people, Chu people hated the Han people... At that time, the disputes in the world will be difficult to calm down."

All present were outstanding people at the moment. Even if this time traveler could not even respond to the answer, he could not hear the implicit sound of Mozi?

Mozi is old.

I have begun to consider my own affairs after death, and to consider the matter of benefiting the world and loving the world after death.

Since this thing is available, it means that I agree with what I have always advocated, "The Mo family must hold an armed force in their hands to benefit the world and eliminate the constraints of the world, or to eliminate the world's tyrants, it is not enough to rely solely on reasoning."

Otherwise, the Mo family has always followed the elite route, with hundreds of archers and crossbowmen everywhere, and those who are proficient in swordsmanship and fighters are even better than those in the world. Mozi would not consider this kind of firearm that "peasant soldiers can shoot in March".

This time, many wandering scholars from all over the world came to Peiyi, except for some to explore the origin and knowledge of the world, the rest were all to "benefit the world and stop the Central Plains" dream, and also because of the legend created by the Mohist school in Shangqiu.

In the battle of Shangqiu, Shi betrayed the State of Song, ruined the King of Chu, laid the wedge of the conflict between the nobles of Chu and the royal power, and made the situation in the world in the future elusive.

Originally, in history, the Chu people successfully siege this time. The Song people Chaopeng, Song Gongtian, and Zheng Gongqi all went to Chu. They led the city Yuguan Daliang to strengthen the defense capabilities of the prominence of the Central Plains of Chu. Daliang City lasted until a few years later, Wu Qi led the army to kill Luyang Gong, Yangchengjun, and Pingyejun.

Now, the Central Plains prominence of Chu State has not been strengthened. This time, the Zheng people sent troops to quickly break through Yu Pass. It is unknown whether the Three Jins will lose the fertile soil of the Central Plains earlier when they go south to Chu State.

The result of betrayal and destruction is that everyone in the world knows that the King of Chu was captured, and the Mo family called for the resolution of war.

Scholars with the heart of benefiting the world gathered in Peiyi, which also brought about a fusion of the Mohist philosophy.

Country? That's not as good as the world.

Otherwise, those travelers who came here, including Qi, Chu and Jin, were from which country? What should they rely on to make them persist and die?

All they can rely on is the concept of "world". They are from Jiuzhou, not from Qi, Chu, Wei, Zhao.

The Mohist school wants to expand its army and expand its strength in order to constrain the world in the future.

Shi also knew that he had to hurry up. If gunpowder weapons appeared and could not be unified within a hundred years, then the disputes in the world would continue. The concept of nation-state may also qualify early with factors such as the decline of the Zhou emperor and technological progress, and then things would be a big deal.

Then he created a story about Qin and Wei fighting for Xihe for hundreds of years and staged the last lesson. He felt that he was really going to be redeemable.

The expansion of the army is never simple. The military system must be in line with the level of productivity.

The Zhou Li tribe was the military system that was most in line with the level of productivity in the previous era. The Duke, Marquis, Bozinan, the Scholars and the Peasant Soldiers were recruited, and it was the best choice if productivity did not improve.

The agricultural productivity around Pei County has exceeded that of a large part of the rest. Iron oxen plows and horses, mills and mills composting, cotton oil and beans and wheat ploughs... With all these technological progress, it would be ridiculous to adopt the original military system.

As a officials, even if the army is not expanded now, Pei County is still the best in the world as a officials.

However, in the chaotic times of the Warring States Period that came soon, countries sent tens of thousands of troops, and the route of the Mohist elite soldiers could only defend the city and could not fight in the field.

Everyone present had considered the issue of "Sword of Contingency in the World". The key to this problem is that the Mohist school wants to make "Sword of Contingency in the World," rather than a shield to stop war!

If you can only defend the city, how can you punish those warlike kings?

The battle in Shangqiu gave the answer: I must defeat it in the field.

Everyone already knew what Mozi was thinking at this time. Some people who were originally standing here were naturally happy, while the other part was already a small number. At this time, they saw that Mozi had already agreed and just didn't say anything at first and listened to it.

Gong Zaoye walked to Shi and asked, "If you make an appointment with the warlike king in the world, you will have to fight in the field. The night attack in Shangqiu is no longer reproduced. The three armies in the plains fought decisively. If the Mo family can defeat the troops of Chu, they can make the warlike king in the world have some concerns."

"Although this firearm is suitable, it can also be formed into an army, but... what our Mohist family is good at is infantry fighting and defending the city."

"If the enemy raided with a chariot, how should we deal with the plains of the battlefield in the daytime?"

"You have never seen a chariot rushing. A real four-horse chariot gallops. Unless my Mo family prepares elite city gates, the infantry will inevitably flee in panic, and they may not be able to use this firearm to kill horses."

He is the faction that supports the faction that expands the army and prepares for war to strengthen the strength of the Mohist family, but he must also consider the future of the Mohist family.

Should I specialize in raising chariot soldiers? Or should the Mohist family continue to move towards the road of infantry war?

Last time, Shangqiu joined Chu, he chose to attack and fight at night. In addition to his unexpected purpose, he also knew that infantry could not defeat the chariot soldiers on the plains, and even the elite Mohist schools could not surpass the elite Che Guang of Chu.

After the Battle of Shangqiu, all countries must be careful about the night attacks of the Mohist family, and this opportunity is no longer available.

The technical problem of the decisive battle against the war chariot in the plains was not solved. The Mohist family's sword of the world could only become a shield to stop the war, and serve as a weight for specimens to balance.

Shi nodded at Gong Zaoye's younger brother, Gong Zaobei brought two horses from a distance, and dragged a heavy car behind him.

The two of them opened the wooden boards and a strange-looking thing appeared in front of everyone.

The bronze one is also a round tube, but it is larger and thicker than the iron tube just now. The back is slightly thicker and the front is slightly thinner.

In a suitable way, this thing can be called a "cannon". Anyway, the most primitive cannon can even be made of pine wood. Although this thing looks a little worse, has a smaller diameter and a little less power, it is still possible to call it a cannon after all.

The male cast pointed to the original simple cannon and smiled: "This thing is somewhat similar to the casting bell, but the skills are a little different."

He was originally a caster, and his grandfather once used force to the chimes made by King Chu and Marquis Zeng, and his level was extremely high.

The casting bells and cannons are not divided when gunpowder weapons are just starting. As long as gunpowder appears, the best casting customers can transform into cannon masters in less than five years.

The caliber of this gun is very small, and the outer wall is thick enough for the experiment. The effect of preventing the chamber pressure from getting too large and gradually thickening according to the appropriate lifting point is adopted.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, at the peak of the Chinese bronze civilization, copper, as the most suitable raw material for making cannons, was supported by Chu Zhuzhong Zhuke as the technical support of the Mohist school. This simple cannon appeared in front of everyone.

There are no bolts that adjust the angle, so you can only adjust the elevation angle by relying on the wooden wedge.

There is no special gun mount, so it can only be fixed with the most primitive heavy cannon cart.

But anyway, this is a cannon.

A target has been built from a distance with wood, which is about eighty steps away from the cannon, which is the highest speed distance for the chariot to hit.

Compared to the original musket, this display finally brought shock.

The scorching stone balls flying out at high speed scattered the pile of wood.

Shi cleaned his slightly buzzing ears in shocked eyes and asked loudly: "May four-horse chariot resist the bombardment of this thing?"

The Mohist family had chariots and trenchers, but they could only be used to defend or siege cities, and their accuracy could not be used to fight in the field.

Machinery like a transducer is slower to load than this simple cannon and is far less powerful. As for close-range shooting, it is definitely not as good as this thing.

Gong Zaoye was about to praise this thing as a strange thing that could be used for field battles or defending the city instead of relaying machines when the enemy Yang Di sieges, he didn't want to take it out of the carriage.

This time, it has nothing to do with gunpowder.
