The study room of the Hall of Grace is simple and simple. There is an orange-yellow wooden couch in it, but the color is not the lacquer, but the color of the golden nan. The smooth wood surface looks a bit old, as if it is badly worn, but because of this, there is a beautiful streamer in the texture.
Guo Shao sat down straight on the cave and stretched out his hand to take out a wooden model from the soft and delicate yellow robe. It is the matchlock mechanism presented by the military inspector.
He took it in his hand and looked at it over and over again. The general structure had already been understood, but he settled down and continued to take a closer look.
Just be patient and observe one thing, time will make people see a lot of things clearly. This is Guo Shao's life experience. He touched his fingers from the mechanism, grasping its transmission in his mind.
Soon Guo Shao discovered a problem. Pull the trigger and press the end of the match rope to ignite the gunpowder. This process is no problem... But if the gunpowder wants to push the projectile out of the barrel, there is a problem!
Air tightness. In order for the match rope to accurately ignite the gunpowder in the hole, the opening of the hole is very large; the hole dug by this model is also very large. How can the chamber pressure be generated if such a large hole is not airtight? !
Not long ago, Zan Jurun was asked to cast a real test. With this design, the projectile could not be shot out even after a hundred tests.
In the past, there was no such problem directly using open flame to ignite, because the lead wire can be made very thin, the lead hole is not much larger than the needle hole, and the chamber pressure will not disappear.
Guo Shao pondered for a long time, and felt that it would not be possible to directly ignite the shot with a match string; he had to add a primer pot on it, and use the burning primer to ignite the gunpowder for the projectile.
Not long after, he discovered another problem: this kind of ignition method may cause blockage of the tunnel and misfire. The barrel is not easy to clean... Maybe the end of the barrel should be made easy to disassemble and clean.
Guo Shao used to think that gunpowder guns were very simple and backward weapons, but he has only discovered many problems until now.
From the musket to the matchlock, the components suddenly become complicated; and the firecrackers that ignite the fire are not very useful. There is obviously no motivation to progress to the complicated matchlock, and it should be a slow process.
But Guo Shao knew that matchlock guns were more advanced without any reason, and his own will forced this development forward.
Guo Shao stood up, walked to the desk, put down the wooden model, raised the brush, and began to describe the problems he found and some ideas for improvement.
The light at the door dimmed slightly, and he felt someone coming in.
Guo Shao turned his eyes slightly and found that the person who came in was Dong Sanmei.
Guo Shao didn't speak, he wrote in detail.
"Hey..." Guo Shao buried his head and heard a small sound. When he looked up, the tea cup was already on the table, the lid was lifted, and the water in the cup was shaking from side to side. He glanced at Dong Sanmei again, and saw her with fear.
"What's wrong?" Guo Shao asked.
Sister Dong suddenly fell to her knees: "I... my servant heard about the reincarnation of your majesty Da Yi, I am very afraid."
Guo Shao immediately put down the writing brush, reached out to help her up, and said, "This is the rumor, most people have never seen me credulous, how can you still believe it? Look at me carefully, where is it? Monster?"
Sister Dong lowered her head.
Guo Shao said a few good things softly, because he showed no signs of being irritable, Dong Sanmei really looked up and looked at Guo Shao carefully... It was extremely rude to face the emperor, but Guo Shao was here. Obviously regardless of those rules.
Sister Dong looked at it for a while, and Guo Shao smiled and said, "Am I the same as others?"
Dong Sanmei blushed and said, "I blame me for being stupid. I have disturbed your majesty to do something big."
"No." Guo Shao looked at her more patiently, as if still listening to her. He thinks that spending a little while taking care of the people around him may create a different atmosphere...especially a young girl like Dong Sanmei, who may not be able to withstand stress well.
Dong Sanmei whispered: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, fortunately I met your Majesty..."
……
The next day, Guo Shao strode into the chamber on the east side of the Jinxiang Temple, looking back at the left and right, feeling that the attitude of the generals was not the same as before, and that attitude was really like a Bodhisattva worship. However, Guo Shao believes that those who can be a general are somewhat knowledgeable, and it is impossible to believe those inexplicable rumors.
He sat down on the upper chair and said: "Get up all the time, sit down and discuss matters."
At this time, Wang Pu turned his head to look upwards, Guo Shao glanced at him, and said: "Today is discussing military aircraft, except for you, you must not divulge news."
Everyone answered.
Guo Shao fell silent and looked sideways at Wang Pu. Wang Pu stood up and arched his hands and said: "The Privy Council is planning to attack the Sixteen States of Youyun under the will of your majesty. Everyone can express their opinions and describe the reasons..."
Before speaking, Shi Yanchao said: "When do you want to call?"
Wang Pu was stunned, and looked at each other with Wei Renpu next to him.
Shi Yanchao said: "I don't believe that there is a battle that your Majesty can't win. Please be the striker in the end!"
Yang Biao pulled a horse face, looked at Shi Yanchao coldly, and turned his head to look at Li Chuyun, who is the highest in the military without a word.
Li Chuyun said: "The morale of the generals in front of the palace is very high, and the general will have no objection to continuing to use troops."
Yang Biao simply said: "Where your majesty says to fight, you will go wherever you will wait!"
Han Tong, Gao Huaide and other generals fought one after another. Everyone did not elaborate on the reasons, but none of them opposed the use of soldiers! This scene surprised Guo Shao a little bit. He determined that the result was a war with Liao. The imperial army did not have any unwilling emotions... The overall system of the Great Zhou continued the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" situation. Military priority, as long as the army supports it. There is almost no real resistance to launching a war!
Guo Shao has always had the habit of independent thinking, but the people around him still influence his weighing judgment. Because he believed that these high-ranking civil and military ministers were not simple-minded figures. The generals had nine deaths from the battlefield and experienced fierce power competition in the Central Plains. Most of them were at least the generals in the (post-)Han period, and they were not able to stabilize their current status.
At this moment, Wei Renpu got up and said, "The minister has a word."
Guo Shao maintained a quick and calm tone: "Deputy Envoy Wei has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Wei Renpu said calmly: "Youyun Sixteen Prefectures are originally the land of ‘China’, sooner or later they will get it back.
Although Wu Yue and Nan Han have no threat to Da Zhou, they are still unwilling to return under the edict. The people of the world still don't really understand Da Zhou's force, and things are pending in many places. Perhaps the strongest Liao army at this time, we haven't really competed.
You can do two things with one stone by attacking the cloud land first. The Great Zhou shocked the world, and depending on the spread, the great cause of dominating the world could be completed faster. "
