The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

After discussing these, it was already late at night. Shang Wen dragged his tired body and sat in the car thinking about the issue of army building.

The navy is also a very technologically dependent arms, which King Qin clearly realized. But knowing is going to know, I still have to go to build the army myself. How to do it. Shang Wen had a headache. The emergence of a technical service is already troublesome enough. But when another service appeared, Shangwen collapsed somewhat. The technical reserve situation has fallen far short of the demand.

The Qin army generals' unconstrained ideas are constantly emerging, but the technology has been slow to keep up. I can't blame myself for this. This requires someone who builds the foundation. For this foundation, Shang Wen can only take his time. There is no one hundred years. It is impossible to have such a solid foundation.

But Shang Wen thought of another thing. That is. Rely on the navy to seize rubber resources. If there is no outlet, a colonial-style outlet is established. On the southern coastline, there is no place for the Six Nations, and Qin’s military seaport was established there. Then transfer the navy as a whole overseas. Before, it was necessary to build a fleet and fight it out. Moreover, it was impossible to build this fleet very large in the first place. The river limits the size of the fleet itself. In the Yellow River, or the chasm, some places still talk about it, especially the chasm. This artificial canal developed in the early Warring States period also lost its original function due to the exhaustion of the overall strength of the Wei state. Some places can no longer be connected. This means that Qin's naval fleet can only stop there.

But there is another outlet that can be considered, and that is the Yangtze River. The land of Bashu is under the control of Qin State. The State of Qin only needs to build a shipyard in Bashu. Qin's fleet can go east from Bashu directly along the Yangtze River. Although there is Chu State, as long as the Qin State fleet is strong enough. Can directly control the entire Yangtze River. Then, turn to today's Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. Guangxi and Hainan are now Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. All the way to the Strait of Malacca in Singapore. In this way, the rubber resources in the south can be transported directly to the hinterland of Qin through this golden waterway, and then a developed road and railway system can be established in Bashu. Or just build a rubber factory locally. Can complete this rubber road. Thinking of this, Shang Wen thought of the establishment of the navy. Solved a big problem of going south. But another service may be born. That is the Marine Corps. Shang Wen believes that the independence of the Marine Corps is necessary. The future combat mode is amphibious combat. Must be completed by a troop proficient in landing operations.

Shang Wen thought of this. I think it's better to let the flow go, for example. According to the original plan. The establishment of the navy should not be established until Qin State had an exit to the sea, but it was at the stage of military academy construction. King Qin and military commanders realized the importance of the navy. Build it up early. This, I have to say, is beyond Shangwen's expectation.

Rather than push it. It is better to follow the current situation step by step. What exactly has history developed into? Shang Wen didn't know it himself.

Shang Wen took out his notebook. Start sketching. Shang Wen sketched the uniform of the navy. The uniform of the Celestial Army is sky blue. The navy is naturally mainly white. The Army’s affairs are left alone. But Shang Wen is sure. After the uniforms of the heavenly army and the navy come out. The Army will certainly complain. Because their uniforms are much inferior to those of the Celestial Navy. In this way, the competition between the services started all at once. Because of this military uniform, it is estimated that both sides will not be able to fight.

When Qin State is making every effort to build its own new army. Yan Guo was not idle either. They began to imitate Qin's artillery and muskets.

Since Yan Kingdom occupied Julu City in Zhao Kingdom, the whole country cheered. The people of Yan country seem to have seen the prosperity of the Zhaowang period again. When the news of the victory reached Yandu, the country was singing and dancing. The long-lost victory finally arrived. It was the first time Yan Guo felt the taste of victory.

In the stimulus of victory, King Yan recognized this weapon from Qin, but when he paid the money, he hesitated.

King Yan originally decided to spend one hundred thousand gold to buy firearms, but he also had to build pavilions. Used this part of the money. Without this part of the money, guns and artillery can't be bought naturally.

Ju Xin knows King Yan very well. Naturally know to make suggestions. Thus, the work of imitating Qin's firearms began.

Under the command of Feng Quji, the State of Qin collected a large number of craftsmen from the Six Kingdoms. But there are also some patriots among them. Feng Quji wanted to kill those craftsmen. However, the moral principles were a bit sad, so they were not implemented.

Yan State is a very strange country. Yanmin is often oppressed by the king of Yan, but his sense of belonging is very strong. This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Jun's repeated occupation was unsuccessful. The craftsman too. Qin has the least number of craftsmen in Yan. This also gave Yan the foundation of the technology of imitating muskets and artillery.

"My lord," a worker said, arching his hands.

"Except for this gun, the imitation of this gun has been completed. Please check it out, please." Gong Cheng said in a low voice.

"En." Ju Xin agreed.

Looking at a barrel that was thicker than Qin's artillery. Ju Xin frowned.

"Why is it so big?" Ju Xin said with a frown.

"Master Hui. This is the first imitation sample of an artillery." Gong Cheng said.

"Is it a two-inch caliber made by Qin?" Ju Xin asked again.

"Master Hui. This is the two-inch caliber of our Yan country. The two-inch caliber of our Yan country is much larger than that of Qin. It is also more powerful." Gong Cheng said.

"En. Very good. Very good. By the way, the cannonball. There should be no problem." Ju Xin asked again.

"No. No problem." Gong Cheng replied immediately.

"En. Very good. But why not use copper? Use iron." Ju Xin asked again.

"Master Hui. This copper is more expensive than iron. The hardness of this iron is better than copper. If iron is used, wouldn't it be more powerful than Qin's artillery." Gong Cheng said ambiguously.

"Yes. You are smart." Ju Xin pointed to Gong Cheng happily and said.

"Okay. Test the gun." Ju Xin roared loudly.

"My lord has an order. Test the gun." The generals below shouted one after another.

"Boom." A cannonball was fired from Yan Guo's imitation artillery.

Ju Xin looked at the cannonballs flying out from a distance.

"How is the situation? Take a look." Ju Xin ordered.

"Here." A lieutenant agreed. Then turned and left.
