Chapter 552 Vehicle-mounted cannon


In the palace, Li Shimin sat at his desk, just after dealing with the publication of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he didn't expect that Yuanshan's business would be able to continue under such circumstances.

And the way used is still a trick, in Li Shimin's opinion, this is to take advantage of the candidate's heart, he doesn't believe in the question or anything at all.

Zhenguan has been in good weather for six years, and this is not the king of Qi sent an envoy to pay tribute, which makes him particularly happy.

In the past two years, the tribute of the surrounding neighboring countries has not been broken, and this year there will not only be a new reception, but also to spread the blessings of the Tang Dynasty.

The envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty of Fusang had already applied to return to Fusang, and Li Shimin had not yet chosen who to call to announce the decree.

But thinking of the Western Turks that gave him a headache, there were still a few unstable forces, and having such neighbors made Li Shimin always vigilant.

"Your Majesty, Xin Liangchou, the chief supervisor of the ordnance superintendent, is already waiting outside the door."

Ma He said softly to Li Shiminshu.

"Call him in."

Li Shimin said.

The ordnance supervisor is now Li Shimin's heart, gunpowder, grenades, and artillery are all combat weapons, and the artillery of the Northern Ya Army has just been overstaffed, so it is really necessary to expand the artillery unit.

"Minister Xin Liangchou see Your Majesty."

"Tell me about the situation of the Ordnance Supervisor."

Li Shimin said directly.

Xin Liangchou immediately responded: "Your Majesty, the Ordnance Supervisor is rushing to build artillery every day, after the delivery of a new batch of artillery, the research of the Ordnance Supervisor artillery has not been planted, after His Majesty is still providing steam locomotives, it is very simple to imitate, and some special accessories like Yuanjia can meet the needs." ” "It's good to be able to imitate the steam car, artillery has always been a short board in terms of transportation, if you can successfully combine artillery and steam locomotives, I think the mobile combat power of my Datang's artillery will improve a lot of combat effectiveness, but even Xin Liangchou You are indispensable as the chief supervisor of the ordnance."

Li Shimin said.

No matter what the result is, Li Shimin's usual method is to sprinkle a wave of "chicken soup" first.

"By the way, Yuan Shan hasn't asked about the ordnance supervisor for a long time."

Li Shimin asked.

"Yes, the Yuan Servant may be busy with official business."

Xin Liangchou said, and also helped Yuan Shan speak.

"This can't be done, if he doesn't go, you have to think about pulling him to the ordnance superintendent, and let him have more ideas for improving the research and development and manufacturing of new weapons such as artillery, maybe the speed of production and the bottlenecks encountered can be quickly solved."

Li Shimin said.

Xin Liangchou responded, saying that he must be closely connected with Yuanshan.

In fact, Xin Liangchou hates and loves Yuan Shan now, and what he hates is that the Yuan family's goods orders will keep the Ordnance Supervisor busy every time, and what he loves is that through these processing projects, the Ordnance Supervisor can become richer.

But no matter what, Xin Liangchou didn't dare to offend Yuan Shan, since he was the emperor's person, because the Economic Development Department was responsible for part of the expenses of the Ordnance Prison, if he offended and wanted to pay money from the Economic Development Department, it would be too difficult.

What's more, most of Li Shimin's orders are imitations of the Yuan family's products, which makes Xin Liangchou still a little weak in the face of Yuan Shan.

Just like the steam locomotive that the Ordnance Superintendent wants to imitate now, it is not too difficult to imitate, but it will still be unbearable on the surface.

Like the table saw imitated by the Ministry of Industry before, the final saw blades were bought from the Yuan family, and it was still a little embarrassing when negotiating at that time.

Just when Yuanshan wanted to vigorously develop commerce, Li Shimin attached great importance to the development of weapons.

Yinshan's record of attacking the Turks with artillery made Li Shimin's confidence swelled somewhat.

In order to expand the Northern Yajin Forbidden Army, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to increase the artillery.

After the nature of the Beiya Forbidden Army, Li Shimin has realized the importance of a professional army in the mention of the generals of the Beiya Army.

For this reason, Wei Chi Baolin wrote many times, proposing to expand the Northern Ya Army, and also proposed to completely replace the various guards of the imperial city with the Northern Ya Army.

Many of these theories came from what Yuan Shan had discussed with them, and the other was to weaken the local military.

At that time, when Yuan Shan mentioned this matter, he said that the army of the Tang Dynasty was too strong, which led to the fact that the troops under local jurisdiction were easy to control.

Once someone intends to use these armies, it will definitely be a scourge for Datang.

So there was a proposal to professionalize the Tang army, but Li Shimin did not give any answer to this matter.

It's just that on the basis of the original Beiya Forbidden Army, it plans to double the military strength.

Xin Liangchou's work efficiency is still very high, and he also explained to Yuan Shan about the imitation of steam locomotives by the Ordnance Supervisor, but it was in the name of His Majesty.

What Xin Liangchou didn't expect was that Yuan Shan's attitude towards this matter was too calm, which made him a little embarrassed, but even if he was embarrassed, the Ordnance Supervisor would not stop copying.

"The production of the latest steam vehicle-mounted artillery of the Ordnance Supervisor also needs the help of Yuan Servant."

Xin Liangchou told Yuan Shan about it after finding Yuan Shan in the Yuanlai Teahouse.

"Vehicle-mounted artillery, who came up with this idea is really a talent."

Won-sun praised.

This is out of sincerity, the artillery itself is quite heavy, and it is basically carried by horse-drawn carriages, and the combat flexibility is certainly not as convenient as the direct transportation of steam locomotives, but steam locomotives also have requirements in the choice of terrain, at least in the mountains, they cannot play a good mobile advantage.

That's why the artillery family has a variety of different models to suit various combat needs, but the idea of being able to mount a gun on a steam car really has a lot of benefits.

"The idea of the Yuan Servant shooting is His Majesty's intention."

Xin Liangchou whispered in embarrassment.

"Oh, I see."

"Since it is Your Majesty's will, and I am the person in charge of the supervision of the Ordnance Supervisor, I should help."

Yuan Shandao.

Then he took out a pen and paper and began to write and draw between the steam locomotive and the artillery.

Xin Liangchou looked at Yuan Shan and quickly drew two sketches, and asked curiously: "Yuan servant shoots this?"

"Vehicle-mounted artillery, you see that the original steam locomotive was used as a means of transportation, and the design of the carriage was made according to the standard style of the carriage, but after replacing it with artillery, it was different, and the weight of the two was relatively heavy, so a lot of unnecessary things were removed, such as the carport, and the keel windshield, these things are not practical, and reducing the weight can also increase some speed, and the vehicle will move much faster."

Won-sun explained.

Xin Liangchou admired Yuan Shanke's five-body throw, which has not yet seen the vehicle-mounted artillery they developed, and already knew the problems they faced, in fact, a boiler and cylinder are directly connected with a simple frame.

In addition, for the vehicle-mounted artillery, a relatively small model is selected for installation, so that the vehicle can also prevent some gunpowder and projectiles, at least to ensure the combat needs of several units, and the artillery can not be replenished without supplies.

Yuan Shan handed over some of the things he designed to Xin Liangchou, and he didn't have to go to the weapons prison at all during this time.

Regarding these things engaged in by the ordnance supervisor, Yuan Shan said that the reason for his calmness is that with the current iron production of Datang, it is impossible to achieve mass production, because most of the iron ore demand is preferentially occupied by Cangzhou shipyards.
