Chapter 63 Trial Production of Gunpowder
Seeing this formation, Xue Rengui was extremely excited. He had read a lot of soldiers, but he had never heard of such a formation. This formation was simply too powerful!
For a long time, what has been valued in the army is the personal martial arts, and soldiers who can wield weapons are the heroes in the minds of the public.
Boxers, thugs, salt lords and even Miao people from all over the country were recruited into the army.
However, in the battles with the northern aliens, these people were often defeated by the aliens.
Therefore, some knowledgeable people in the military have realized that the success or failure of a battle is not entirely determined by personal martial arts.
When Li Zhen was training this Shenwu Army, in addition to requiring soldiers to be skilled in technology, Li Zhen paid full attention to the coordination of various weapons in small units. Each infantry squad was equipped with both long weapons and short weapons. In this way, combat The power is greatly increased, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.
And this kind of formation has never appeared before since ancient times.
Therefore, when Xue Rengui saw the sketch of this formation, he was extremely excited. With this formation, he would definitely become a famous general in the world!
His Highness the King of Yue is truly a man of God descending to earth!
Otherwise, how could he design such an exquisite formation?
Xue Rengui bowed directly to Li Zhen and said sincerely: "Your Highness's ability is unpredictable. Rengui admires it extremely! This is really the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Zhen couldn¡¯t help but blush. To be honest, he didn¡¯t know much about the Yuanyang Formation at first. He only knew that this formation was created by Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty.
Qi Jiguang used the Yuanyang Formation to defeat Japanese pirates and Mongolian cavalry, and even created a glorious record of casualties of one to one hundred in cold weapon battles.
Zeng Guofan of the later Qing Dynasty founded the Hunan Army and also used the Yuanyang Formation. The Hunan Army used the Yuanyang Formation to defeat the Taiping Army and finally annihilated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
It can be seen that the Yuanyang Formation has reached the pinnacle of formations in cold weapon combat, allowing the cooperation and combat effectiveness between cold weapon arms to be maximized.
"Using the Yuanyang Formation in this time and space is a complete massacre of the enemy, and it is a kind of inconsistent battle.
After Li Zhen completed the task of training new recruits, the system rewarded him with this sketch, which was also printed.
However, Li Zhen was afraid of being betrayed, because in this era, movable type printing had not yet been invented, let alone a printed version of the type. If others saw the original version of the Mandarin Duck Formation, it would definitely cause quite a stir.
So I drew another copy of the gourd and gave it to Xue Rengui, but I was thinking that when I have time, I can develop movable type printing and apply it to daily life, which will make the large-scale dissemination of knowledge much more convenient. It's a pity that there is no concept of patents these days. Otherwise, you can make a lot of money just by relying on this patent for movable type printing.
¡°Ahem, I¡¯m thinking too much.
Looking at Xue Rengui's eyes that admired her so much, Li Zhen felt a small sense of vanity and satisfaction in her heart.
He knows that Xue Rengui's admiration for him is absolutely sincere. He just used the system to check and found that Xue Rengui's loyalty to him has reached 100.
Li Zhen explained to Xue Rengui the precautions for the Yuanyang Formation, and then left the military camp.
He didn't want to get involved in every detail of the military. This was the difference between a general and a commander-in-chief. Generals are professionals and must specialize in skills. Li Zhen is a commander-in-chief. If he has to do everything himself, even if he is tired and vomits blood, it will not matter. Great effect.
The most important thing for a good commander is to employ people, leaving the main tasks to his subordinates, and what he does is just to let people do their best.
This reason is very simple, just like Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was just a ruffian. His writing was not as good as Xiao He and Zhang Liang, and his military skills were not as good as Han Xin and Fan Kuai. But why could he be the emperor while others could not?
It¡¯s just because he knows how to use people to make them work and make the best use of their talents. Although Xiang Yu was the most powerful general in Chinese history for two thousand years, he was defeated in the end because he didn't know how to employ people and was just a general, not a handsome man.
Li Zhen let Xue Rengui do it with confidence, and left the Shenwu Army camp. He had more important things to do.
This matter is about making firearms.
As a time traveler, Li Zhen certainly understands that firearms play a huge role in the outcome and mode of war.
"If we can create firearms, not to mention muskets and artillery, even powerful grenades and landmines, it will be enough to make a radical change in the combat power of the troops.
To make firearms, you must first make gunpowder.
China has a long history of manufacturing gunpowder. It is said that it was invented by Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty.
This Ge Hong is a strange man. This old Taoist is good at alchemy. It is said that his elder Ge Xuan ascended to the throne of the Jade Emperor and became one of the four heavenly masters.
Ge Hong also wanted to refine the elixir to ascend, but the elixir was not refined and the gunpowder was used instead.
However, the formula of gunpowder has been circulated among the people in a small area. Li Zhen could not find it in a short time. He could only rely on his own memory to prepare experiments to make gunpowder, and then use gunpowder to make primitive landmines and other firearms.
Li Zhen remembered that the gunpowder used to make gunpowder included saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, but the specific proportions were unclear.
Li Zhen decided to experiment it himself. Of course, he also knew that this experiment was very dangerous. If he was not careful, it might cause an explosion and his body would be wiped out. However, this was the only way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army by leaps and bounds. .
To this end, Li Zhen built a simple stone house in the Governor's Mansion and started experimenting with gunpowder by herself.
"Ding! The task of making gunpowder is started. The host can get generous rewards if he makes gunpowder within seven days."
The system beep echoed in my mind.
"Nani? Seven days?"
"System, it takes years and decades for other people to make gunpowder just to test it. You only give me seven days and treat me as the reincarnation of Nobel."
¡°Given that the host has a certain knowledge of gunpowder, the system has been very tolerant to the host, and the host can choose not to accept the task.¡±
¡°It¡¯s only fools who don¡¯t answer.¡±
Li Zhen thought, if you accept the task, you must test the gunpowder. If you don't accept the task, you must test the gunpowder. Naturally, the next one will be better.
??????????????????? However, Li Zhen had a good idea, and every time he tested it in a certain proportion, he would only do a small amount, so that even if it exploded, it would not cause much damage.
Li Zhen immediately asked someone to prepare materials.
Three days later.
"flutter!"
A cloud of thick smoke rose from the house. Li Zhen's face was blackened by the smoke, and her hair was curled up and became fierce.
"Your Majesty!" Nina and several guards ran over as quickly as possible.
¡°Failure is success, it doesn¡¯t matter, just keep doing it.¡± Li Zhen kept cheering for herself.
Four days later.
"Hoo!"
A burst of flames burst out, and Li Zhen was so burned that her clothes were ragged and she ran out of the stone room while crawling.
"Your Majesty!" Several guards rushed over and slapped Li Zhen, extinguishing the fire on her body.
"Failure is success. This little setback won't faze me. Keep working!" Li Zhen encouraged herself.
Five days later.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and a wave of air rose into the sky. Li Zhen was blown out of the window by the air wave of the explosion, and lay on the ground for a long time unable to get up.
"Your Majesty!" The entire mansion heard the explosion, and a group of guards and maids were scared to death.
"Ahem" Li Zhen climbed up from the ground and muttered to herself: "It's just one step away, just one step away!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
