Chapter 66 Japanese Episodes
After the upgrade of the first artillery, the name of the first artillery was still called the first artillery. However, it has been technically pushed to the stage of the American Civil War in the original time and space. After completing the upgrade of the artillery, Cheng Pan turned his attention to the first artillery. For the second artillery used fixed-load metal bullets, Cheng Pan had to say that the step was too big. The weapons were not something that could be created by a few craftsmen. In terms of creation, the Chinese craftsmen were not inferior to anyone. For example, Dai Zinc, the child of Kang Mazi's era, used a tunnel structure to create a 28-shot gun, which has already possessed the prototype of the machine gun. Now social thoughts have not been confined by the thinking of "only sages have high articles". In addition, the Yuan Dynasty was suppressed by Confucian scholars and the craftsmen were not fully discriminated against by the society, Cheng Pan's policy of respecting technicians had no social resistance.
Without being discriminated against, being able to eat a full meal, and having many peers compete and exchanges, the huge group of technicians in Chengpan's territory truly staged a technological explosion. Many variants of the first-style musket also began.
The finished product that Cheng Pan took out was a rear-loaded paper-shell tunnel gun. The paper-shell bullet was pushed in from the back, and then a special gunpowder corner barrel was used to add gunpowder to the medicine pool, and finally sealed and fixed it with a shaker. Then flint fired. White smoke was sprayed out from the gap between the muzzle and the medicine pool. This musket can shoot four shots per minute on average, seven shots were silenced once, and the maximum rate of fire was seven shots per minute. This thing was born in the 1870s in the 1870s. Now Cheng Pan has no pressure when he was working. The lack of accuracy caused by hand polishing caused air leakage, which was reduced to a tolerable range under mechanical standard processing. This model of rear-loaded gun was not finalized in the end. The main reason was that it was specially equipped with a gunpowder angle on his body and always felt unsafe when operating. If you were accidentally injured, the gunpowder angle exploded.
In the end, the paper fire hat and paper shell bullets became improved conventional equipment. The second type musket formulated by Cheng Pan at the beginning was based on all-metal bullets, and the technicians still completed it with great effort regardless of the cost. However, it was just a cost issue that determined that Cheng Pan's failure in the Great Leap Forward. With the current stamping equipment, it is difficult to make large quantities of metal shells with central base fire. Every time the bullet is fired, it is like a work of art. Cheng Pan's black technology appeared in advance and it was an embarrassment that it was unaffordable.
The awkward situation. The ammunition was redesigned for this purpose. The cheap paper fire caps evenly coated with mercury between the two paper sheets appeared. In the method of ignition with the needle tip, this paper bullet outsourced by waterproof paint was put into service. Although the bottom of the new No. 2 musket leaked air and could not be waved in the water. However, it met the conditions for a large amount of equipment. The second type of musket version appeared. The first type of musket in the territory was redesigned in large quantities. Since the long spear was changed a few years ago, the second large-scale replacement in the territory has appeared.
As for the metal bullets that have been struggling repeatedly, they are now completely machine gun models.
When Cheng Pan was trying hard to prepare for next year's war, the distant Japan forced Cheng Pan to pay attention. In fact, there was nothing. The situation in Japan was like a red sign appeared on the mini map when playing the Red Alert, indicating that you were beaten. When you moved the mouse over, you found that the enemy was scratching you for death. That's right.
At this time, Emperor Gomura of the Southern Dynasty started to operate after being interfered with Cheng Pan, an alien imperialist interference. Under the temptation of a large number of cheap steel tools from the territory of the Communist Party of China, some daimyos began to turn against each other. The Southern Dynasty Emperor who had originally relied on the skin of the descendants of the descendants of Amaterasu began to rise up. With his reputation and influence, Japan's copper mines were continuously mined and sold to the Communist Party of China. The kickbacks were provided by Cheng Pan to this agent, so that the emperor could control the territory more effectively. However, in addition to simple training, the crossbow army composed of peasants was still useless.
In the winter of 1347, after the crossbow army of the Southern Dynasties won another small victory, it pushed the front several kilometers towards the direction of the Northern Dynasties. In Japan, this was a battle-level victory and the Northern Dynasties collapsed several times. Because Japan's two capitals in the north and south at this time were only a few dozen kilometers apart. However, the commander of the Southern Dynasties, who was born in the noble class, immediately felt extremely happy and sad.
After all, Ashikagashi Zun, a ruthless man from the Northern Dynasties, overthrew the Kamakura Shogunate. The war over the past few decades created many excellent soldiers. So with the full support of Ashikagashi Zun and several other Daimyos of the Northern Dynasties, 50 samurai participated in the night attack. Now, it is not like Japan's later World War II, and the entire army is broken. It is very difficult for a Japanese daimyo to cultivate a real samurai. It must cultivate his loyalty to the family from a young age, and train his combat skills, courage and morality. There are not many such samurai in a daimyo family, and now several hard-core families in the Northern Dynasties have taken out fifty at once, which can be said to have invested a lot.
So an Eastern version of the Spartan drama began. Unlike the deeds of the 300 Western Spartan warriors guarding the Hot Spring Pass, the fifty Japanese warriors took the initiative to attack, which was a night attack, and it was successful. The reason was that most of the peasants and soldiers were night blind at night. At the same time, the crossbow soldiers were fighting with a hand-to-hand battle these days. In this face-to-hand combat, these warriors were chopped away with one sword and ran away with a single sword. They hated their parents for not giving them two extra legs, and a brilliant victory occurred. The Emperor of the Southern Dynasty almost lost all his direct troops, and more importantly, they lost a large number of crossbows.
This batch of crossbows was sent to Ashikagashi Zun. The hero was very surprised by the power of this weapon. His subordinates suggested destroying the weapons, but Ashikagashi Zun did not agree and handed over the crossbows to his own direct troops for use.
So the Northern Dynasties once again suppressed the Southern Dynasties like a dead dog. Because the former Emperor Gomura's family had completely been a long time, it was a defeat of the transport team captain, and the Northern Dynasties' army was more powerful. Under the attack of the crossbow army of the Northern Dynasties, in February 1348, Masayo Kusukuni was still killed in Shijo (now Shijo City, Tohoku, Osaka, to the northeastern Osaka), nine months earlier than the original history. Cheng Pan's butterfly wings were slapped by history. Emperor Gomura fled, but he did not flee to Yoshino Village, Nara Prefecture as in history. Historically, when he escaped to this place, the Southern Dynasties basically died in name only. Now the Emperor Gomura still has a life-saving straw, which is the store established by the Communist Army in Kiidabene far away in the south.
When Cheng Pan received the news, the first sentence: "What's the matter with this tmd?" Originally, Cheng Pan was thinking about whether the arming of the Southern Dynasty Emperor would be too powerful would lead to rapid unification of Japan. He did not expect that his aid was so weak. In fact, Cheng Pan didn't know that his aid had indeed accelerated the pace of Japanese unification, but it was related to Cheng Pan's expectations. If Cheng Pan knew Japan's original history, there would be more grass and mud horses that had stepped on their hearts.
The card of Houcun must be played. For Cheng Pan, a too strong Japanese government is not a good target for trade, so a special fleet came to Kiidabe with a reinforced battalion of 600 Communist Army troops. Although he sent troops, Cheng Pan was unwilling to help him fight like the Americans supported South Korea. This army only protected Houcun in Tianbian, and was not even considered a wielding emperor to command the princes. Houcun wanted to leave and come as soon as he wanted to. Houcun asked the mall several times
The army was rejected from going north. It was joked that Cheng Pan had not yet conquered Japan in his current budget. As a result, Gomura left the mall in anger, but no other daimyo was willing to send troops to fight against the powerful Ashikaga shogunate in an open manner for a outdated emperor. In desperation, he had to return to the sphere of influence of the Communist Party Army. At least the treatment that Cheng Pan provided for him was king-level in the mall. During the asylum, Gomura issued a series of proclamations to shout to the north.
Well, the Northern Dynasty army, which was chasing Yu Yong's enemy, decided to attack this Houcun. 3,000 people claimed to be 150,000 troops. For the Communist Army in Japan, trouble also came. The Zun family army was at the city. At this time, Sun Tao was commanding the troops stationed in Japan. In front of him was a messenger, which meant that they were asking them to withdraw from Japan and hand over the emperor, and the mall was handed over to the Ashikaga shogunate for protection. After hearing this, Sun Tao yawned, waved his hand and told him to go back, and wrote the word "war" and handed it over to him. The envoy went back without saying anything.
Sun Tao immediately excitedly held the telescope and looked over at the Japanese military formation three hundred meters away. When the envoy entered the formation, Sun Tao asked twenty one-type cannons to prepare. Since Sun Tao had never seen a cannon in bullying Japan, he deliberately made the opposite side so close. However, the distance was too close, and the elevation angle of each cannon was mentioned to the highest, so that the delay lead of the shrapnel was time to prepare.
But the Japanese military formation on the opposite side had just changed, and Sun Tao shouted: "Battle". With one finger, the cannons that had been prepared long ago began to fire. The result was self-evident, either fighting or bullying. After the bombardment of the shrapnel, five mortars began to fire explosive ammunition, and bloody flames were fired in the crowd.
When encountering such a blow, the Japanese army showed a collapse, but it did not collapse. After facing this devastating blow, the Japanese soldiers who grew up in polytheism faced this devastating blow, their first reaction was not to escape, but to kneel down and ask for God's forgiveness. So after a bombardment killed and injured more than 800 people, the rest became prisoners.
The other ones were also frightened to urinate. Emperor Houcun, who was forcibly taken to the battlefield to watch the battle. Under such a ghost-like attack, Houcun looked at Sun Tao with a hint of fear. When he was packing up the prisoners, Houcun asked Sun Tao: "Does the Yuan Dynasty across the sea have the power of the ghosts and gods of your troops?" Sun Tao thought for a while, Japan was alone overseas, and nothing he said was not considered to be leaking military secrets. So he replied: "This is not the power of ghosts and gods, it is the power of the orthodox road. We will fight the Yuan Dynasty in a decisive battle in no time." Houcun asked quickly when he heard this, "
Is the army going to restore the country?" Sun Tao said, "That's right." Houcun said quickly, "Once the army restores the country successfully, please allow Xiao Wang to submit to the Celestial Empire." Sun Tao said, "I will bring your words to our supreme commander. As for now you need to gather people and re-establish your country, we are now preparing to fight with the Yuan Dynasty, and at most ensure your safety. We will not help you take down the north. You can do it yourself." Houcun had a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he gave up with a polite thank you.
After this incident, Japan resumed the situation of coherence between the north and the south. After experiencing this attack, the Northern Dynasties retreated and closely monitored the movements in the south. At the same time, it sent newspapers to various daimyos that the Mongolians had landed in the south and the Houcun had been killed. The whole of Japan should unite and the like.
But with the support of two daimyos in the south, Gomura began to sing a stage play with the Ashikaga Shogunate, claiming that it was using the Yi army to defeat the Ashikaga Zun family's plot to rebel. Now the Zun family army was defeated, and the rebel army has retreated to look for the whole of Japan to fight against the thieves. Japan has strangely entered a stage of peace. The major forces are no longer inflating the war and started to whine. After a while, the Japanese daimyos know that the real situation is that the army that destroyed the Zun family army in the south came from the western continent and has not left yet, but reached an agreement with Gomura to not leave that small port. Each daimyos learned several key points. First, the army is very powerful. Second, they support Gomura, and third, they are bound by some factors and will not go north. Fourth, the Southern Dynasties still exist, but now the Southern Dynasties do not have the ability to destroy the Northern Dynasties.
After learning of temporary safety, the Northern Dynasties soon fell into internal strife. In May 1348 AD, Naoyi Ashikaga and the anti-Natsuichi faction led by Takashi Shizhi had a conflict. If the Japanese drama continues to sing, Cheng Pan will not watch it. In the past few months of storm and changes in Japan, Cheng Pan used the most cost-effective method to keep Japan in the status quo.
