Qin Wu looked at Fan Chang beside him and pushed the butt on his shoulder, and slowly moved the barrel with his eyes half-squinted. With a crisp bang, an unknown seabird spreading his wings on the sea fell down.

Even Qin Wu felt a little jealous of Fan Chang's talent in guns. Fan Chang had never been exposed to guns before. In fact, because of the existence of the emperor, the Ming Dynasty, in the development of guns, directly abandoned front-mounted rifles such as the mesh gun. It was not until the chemistry of the Ming Dynasty developed rapidly, and a series of things such as rifles, such as rifles, were made out, and the rifles began to enter substantial research, and this was the case with Type 1 of the Ming Dynasty.

Until now, the Ming Dynasty Type 1, which has not been mass-produced, is only equipped with a small number of troops. The Fire Death Camp is one of them, and the others are basically equipped with cavalry battalions to form lancers.

Fan Chang's gun was obtained after he reported to Qin Wu, but in just a short period of time, he had mastered the key points of using guns, and his marksmanship was outstanding among everyone.

Or this is a natural soldier who is inherently sensitive to such weapons.

The rapid development of chemical engineering in the Ming Dynasty was that Qin Feng himself had no idea. In just a few years, Qin Feng, who claimed to be a pioneer, could no longer keep up with the gang of lunatics who specialize in chemistry. With their persistent research on life and death, the chemical industry of the Ming Dynasty was rising at a rocket-like speed. Of course, they also paid many lives for this.

The invention of yellow gunpowder alone cost more than a dozen lives. These are two systems that are completely different from black gunpowder. Yellow gunpowder is more stable and has several levels of explosion ability than black gunpowder. However, it is extremely dangerous to fully understand the manufacturing process of this thing. Nitrifying glycerin is an extremely dangerous thing. In order to tame it, many fanatics have sacrificed their lives for it.

Yellow gunpowder is a real explosive. In the Ming Dynasty, the explosives used by the army have replaced black gunpowder with yellow gunpowder. Black gunpowder is now basically used by the people, and the Ming Dynasty has completely opened up the secret recipe of black gunpowder. For the Ming Dynasty, it has lost the value of confidentiality.

Putting aside the guns, Qin Wu is more interested in now that the Yongping is a kind of infantry cannon just developed by the loaded city of power. This cannon is not big and light in weight. A soldier can run on his shoulder. When he is used, he is put on the ground, but the shells are stuffed into the muzzle. This cannon is easy to operate, with a curved trajectory and no dead ends to shoot. Once the experiment is successful, the senior generals who visited immediately became interested.

This kind of cannon was named a mortar by Emperor Qin Feng.

In fact, as yellow gunpowder, thunder and mercury technologies are becoming more and more mature, the development of artillery has entered a new stage. The current Ming fleet still uses front-mounted artillery, which has slow fire speed and limited power. When the Third Fleet begins to modify, it is afraid that the ships will start to install the post-loaded artillery. Others don’t know, but Qin Wu knows that all kinds of artillery loaded later have begun to enter substantive research. On the experimental site of the City of Power, various types of artillery of different shapes are conducting different experiments every day. Some are rejected, while others enter the next stage of experiments.

Qin Wu believed that those weapons madmen would soon come up with better weapons.

Qin Wu now fully agrees with the idea that science was productivity explained by his father, and education was a destructor to promote scientific development. Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has continuously invested heavily in education and has produced fruitful results. For example, the one who produced nitroglycerin was a 22-year-old boy from the Department of Chemistry in the Jingshi University. This man came from a farmer's family in Taiping County. If it were not for the popular education in the Ming Dynasty, he would have basically no chance of studying from elementary school to Jingshi University. The other person who developed Lei mercury was his classmate, a wealthy business family in Shayang County. The combination of the two's research results allowed the development of the Ming Dynasty's weapons to take a step forward.

Qin Feng had specially met these two people, one was very shy and the other was very bold. At that time, Qin Wu had difficulty believing that such a powerful thing as nitrifying glycerin was invented by such a shy country boy.

Now these two people have achieved success and graduated early and entered the Ming Academy of Sciences. When they entered, they were appointed as professors. They were considered to have crossed several levels. When their classmates were still working hard to graduate, they were already qualified to teach and score their former classmates.

Qin Wu thought of the promotion system of school teachers designed by his father, and found it very interesting. Assistant teaching, lecturer, associate professor, professor, scholar, academician, and academician of science, one level after another, orderly. If you want to climb up, you need solid scientific research results as a footnote. Every time you climb up, it is not only a significant increase in salary and benefits, but also a variety of resources tilt towards him. It can be said that every time you go up, you will be more likely to achieve greater success.

In the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of those academicians was higher than that of the masters of the Ministry. Under this crazy stimulation, the guys who were already fanatical acted even more crazy.

Retracting his thoughts, Qin Wu threw his sight back to the deck. A new round of training began again. Teams of soldiers holding Ming Style 1 Fire Death Camp held guns flat and practiced aiming on the deck, but under their muzzles, a rope fell on a brick, which was made by Fan Chang. According to him, if the gun is to be accurately shot, the most important thing is to keep the hands stable and keep the hands stable at any time, so the accuracy rate will be higher when firing.

The deck of Yongping is a good place to practice. Even though Yongping is very large, it still appears small above the sea. When moving forward, it always rises and falls. It is indeed not easy to stand firm in such a place while keeping the gun stable.

Of course, Qin Wu himself would practice, but his enthusiasm for these things has long become a thing of the past. Whether it is his father, mother, or his teacher, the warnings he gave him are a king. The most important thing is not how high the force is. Trailblazers like Qin Feng are indispensable in their own force. In the Qin Wu generation, what is more important is his ability to govern. What he wants to learn is already very different from his father's.

So after reading for a while, Qin Wu threw these things to Fan Chang and returned to the cabin to read the book. Before leaving, the teacher Fu Guo Gong Quanyun picked up several books for him. These books were not only for him to read, but also for him to understand and write his experience. If he didn't read them deeply and intensively, it would be difficult to understand the meaning of them.

Every time this time, Qin Wu would have a lot of resentment towards the people who wrote these books. Why not write them more easily and easily, just like the physics and chemistry textbooks in colleges now, for fear that they would not be written directly enough and make people unable to understand. Qin Wu completely disagrees with the subtle meaning. Sometimes a foggy sentence will make people with different ideas translate into countless versions, and the content they translated is completely opposite to each other.

This is completely causing trouble for yourself! In contrast, Qin Wu likes the things written by his father more and explains his views and strategies clearly.

There was nothing to say all the way, the huge fleet stopped at Yangang and replenished some fresh water and supplies, and then continued to move towards Manzhu Harbor. After a few days, they finally arrived at their destination, Manzhu Harbor in Pattaya.

The Pattaya Kingdom no longer exists. Ning Zeyuan killed the royal family of the Pattaya Kingdom completely. Even the native Pattaya people are not many of them who can stay here now. Most of them were sold to the Ming Dynasty by those merchants. Now they are waving their hoes in the remote prefectures and counties in Cenzhou, and are working hard to create wealth for the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps their next generation will be able to obtain the status of a citizen of the Ming Empire.

The Pattaya people who still exist now basically surrendered to the people from the Ming Dynasty a long time ago, and most of these people were merchants.

Pattaya is now a hodgepodge. Countless island people in this island area make a living here, and a large number of Ming merchants, army and engineering teams fill every corner of the place.

Manzhu Harbor is a free trade port that the Ming Dynasty vigorously built. Its importance in the future is even greater than that of Manila. Compared with Pattaya, which has been cleaned, Manila is obviously more complicated. Once Manzhu Harbor is fully built, it will inevitably squeeze the Manila port to a certain extent in the future. This is what the Ming Dynasty wants. The Ming Dynasty will never allow Manila to dominate.

Although the original Manzhu Harbor is far from being completed, the part that has been presented is already amazing enough. One berth after another extends far away, and the size of the port has expanded more than ten times compared to the past.

The Yongping whistle roared and slowly landed. King Qin Wu of Qi stood on the bow of the boat in formal clothes. Fan Chang and Zhou Bo were fully armed and stood on the left and right. A thousand fire death squadrons were wearing uniforms, holding style 1 in the Ming Dynasty, and two decks were arranged.

On the shore, the senior officials of Manila led by Ning Zeyuan stood solemnly, Chen Ci, Lei Wei, Yu Rongguang, Wang Xianrong, Murong Fu and other civil and military officials gathered here.

For them, His Highness the visit of King Qi represents His Majesty the Emperor and even stands for His Majesty the Emperor. Ordinary people do not know that the Emperor will come to command this war in person, so they naturally knew and began the corresponding arrangements long ago.
