Chapter 1033 The power is amazing, and the price is equally impressive!

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ¡°It¡¯s not that only those who like to be wanton and reckless become emperors will feel happy.

    Liu Mingqi now feels that being an emperor actually has its benefits.

    For example, if he now makes explosives, cannons and flintlocks, he can do so more legitimately.

    Today, while taking a break, the young man came to the cannon factory again.

    The most important thing about today's cannons is not the various shells made after the gunpowder ratio is mixed, but the barrel of the cannon.

    At the beginning of the artillery body, it is easy to have poor mold molding, too much steel impurities, and not even the casting, so that it will be bursting shortly after it takes it -commonly known as "bombing".

    So even though the cannon factory has now produced five cannons of various sizes, plus eleven different kinds of shells, Liu Mingqi still asked them to keep experimenting and increasing the strength of the cannon body.

    "Boom, boom, boom"

    Standing dozens of meters away, Liu Mingqi listened to the roaring sound of the cannon and watched the thick smoke passing by. Various artillery shells continued to impact the piles of rocks, wooden planks, and hillsides A sense of self-confidence emerged spontaneously.

    How many armies can withstand such a cannon?

    Although the accuracy is not enough and the power of the artillery shells is not enough, in this era, how many people can brave the artillery fire and advance?

    This is not the era of queuing to be shot in Europe. The explosive power of gunpowder can directly destroy a person's courage.

    In history, an army that can achieve 10% casualties without collapse is called an elite.

    An army that can achieve 20% casualties without collapsing can be called the backbone of the country.

    ¡°An army that suffered 30% casualties without collapsing¡­ You can¡¯t find even ten of them through the past and present and five thousand years at home and abroad.

    "Don't think it's funny.

    In all wars, the greatest casualties are not caused by real swords and guns, but from the pursuit after defeat.

    The emotion of fear is contagious.

    Especially on the battlefield where people are dying every minute.

    Words like avalanche are specially designed for the battlefield.

    ??Don¡¯t talk about ancient times, this is true even in modern times.

    "The famous cosmic stick, isn't it that the entire army quickly moved in before the casualties reached 10%?"

    ¡°General, please believe me, Bangzi¡¯s retreat speed is a thousand times faster than their attack speed!¡±

    "Well, I authorize you. As long as you see the sticks fleeing, you can deal with them as the enemy."

    Compared with them, our army's mortality rate has reached 500% but it still holds its position. I really don't know how to treat it with admiration - one group of people have been replaced and another group of people have died, and the total number of casualties is five times that of the original merged troops.  But the final position is still in hand.

    All right.

    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, anyway, right now, if you dare to write about this war, you will have to face the fate of eunuchs, so the scholar will not talk anymore.

    Come back to the front.

    Troops equipped with cannons, as long as they are equipped with sufficient protection, are already invincible on land battlefields.

    ¡°If the infantry and artillery coordination had not been trained yet, if the time was not yet ripe, Liu Mingqi really wanted to send the army out next year and destroy Shiwei in the northeast first.

    Standing next to Liu Mingqi were a group of Forbidden Army generals, several prime ministers, ministers, and the Governor of Gyeonggi Province, Xiong Wenqing.

    They were even more stunned than Liu Mingqi.

    Liu Mingqi took the emperor to see it before, but the scale was not as large as it is now, and the frequency of firing cannonballs was not as skillful and fast as it is now.

    Now that Liu Mingqi is the emperor, he can naturally use all his firepower to shock such a group of big guys.

    Don¡¯t tell me, it really shocked them.

    Nangong Ji, the oldest, was a little unsteady on his feet, and Cao Yi, who was so indifferent to emotions and anger, was also trembling slightly.

    His slight trembling was different from that of the generals, it was purely out of fear.

    Five generals from the Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army came today.

    They all looked at it with bright eyes, and their eyes flashed with light. They were obviously imagining what it would be like to go out with such artillery.

    After the artillery bombardment was over and the smoke gradually dissipated, Liu Mingqi took them all to the attack area.

    I saw such a few kilometers of land, one by one, one by one, the broken wooden boards that were smashed by pieces, one by one, one by one, and one by one, hills that were bombarded with seventy -eight or eight,

    With the thick residual smell of gunpowder smoke, if you think about it for a moment, you will know what kind of violent attack there will be if there are people here.

    "Your Majesty, what should we do??¡­But this wooden handle grenade has been made for three years. The scale of the workshop has been expanding, and the production volume has also been continuously improved.  Shouldn¡¯t the purchase price to the imperial court be lowered?  "

    ¡°Twelve taels of silver per wooden-handled grenade, more than two to three hundred thousand were used in the original Jiangnan Defense Battle, Jinzhou City Defense Battle, and Ningyuan City Defense Battle.

    The soldiers at the front were frantically throwing wooden-handled grenades to kill the enemy, but the money in the household was also flowing out like running water.

    And last year, not to mention Liu Mingqi and the others fought all the way from the northwest grasslands to the Tubo Plateau, and then from the Tubo Plateau to the Western Regions, not to mention the wooden handle grenades they consumed along the way.

    The key lies in the major checkpoints and fortresses on the border. It¡¯s like crazy to ask for wooden handle grenades to go there.

    This order alone exceeded 20 million taels of silver.

    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the land sales in Pengzhou Prefecture, which cost more than 100 million taels of silver, I would have said that I couldn¡¯t afford it.

    Ge Songdao himself mentioned this matter to Emperor Jinghe last year, but Emperor Jinghe didn't want to let his nephew suffer, so he didn't mention it.

    Now that Liu Mingqi has become the emperor, Ge Songdao will of course ask him to think about the court's finances.

    Ge Songdao¡¯s words resonated with everyone present.

    "Your Majesty, this wooden handle grenade is too expensive!" Zhong Chang said: "The world is your world. There is no reason for you to make a lot of money in this area. On the contrary, you are depleting the treasury, right?"

    "Didn't you mention to us during your lecture three years ago that the more a commodity is produced and the more proficient it is, the price will continue to drop?" Luo Nanjing said: "Now is the time to lower the price. Your Majesty, look at one tael of silver per  How about it?"

    Liu Mingqi was angry: "Luo Shangshu, are you killing a pig? One tael of silver is not even enough to cost!"

    "Then how much can you say?" Luo Nanjing was not afraid of Liu Mingqi, "How about two taels of silver?"

    Liu Mingqi laughed angrily, "Okay, don't talk nonsense with me here. Let's discuss it with them after I go back Don't stare at me. If I say anything randomly, it's just gold-plated words, and the price won't change."  Got it!"

    Hearing this, Luo Nanjing quickly shut up.

    He is a big talker, and of course he doesn¡¯t like Liu Mingqi¡¯s slimming down.

    Naturally, the lower the purchase price, the better!  !
