Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, Italian cannons were naturally extremely advanced. After all, this was a classic model, and many light artillery pieces in later generations were modified on this basis.
Just like the AK47, it has developed into a family of guns, but when people mention this series, they still refer to the AK47.
Among breech-loading guns, Miss France is an insurmountable obstacle, just as among bronze cannons, the Napoleon Cannon is an insurmountable obstacle.
So after the first type of artillery of the Ming Dynasty was finalized, it was this French Miss.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang with an excited look on his face, but turned around and asked seriously, "Will it work? If not, don't be too anxious."
Regarding the problem of artillery rifling, this has long been solved. The Ming Dynasty made rapid progress in this area. The alloy material of the artillery barrel was well solved. Although some copper was still used, it was very small. However, copper still needed to be used in large quantities in artillery shells.
But Zhu Youxiao was worried about the artillery itself, and wanted to make sure it didn't explode. Zhu Youxiao didn't ask them to go up quickly now. After all, the Ming Dynasty was still relatively peaceful, and it would cost a lot of money to manufacture large-scale production equipment.
To be honest, Zhu Youxiao was short of money. The money the internal government had taken out was just enough to cover expenses.
Every year, collecting grain for disaster relief was a headache for Zhu Youxiao. Trade profits in the northwest also began to shrink. After all, the Mongolians had not had a good life in the past two years and had no surplus food at home.
In other aspects, Zhu Youxiao's income was very little, not to mention the income from the Ministry of Revenue above the court.
Zhu Youxiao had just equipped all his troops with flintlock rifles, rocket launchers, and hand-cranked light machine guns in the past few years. Now if Zhu Youxiao were to replace their equipment again, to be honest, he would be a little powerless.
What's more, there is the shipyard in Qingdao, which makes Zhu Youxiao feel a little distressed about spending money on it.
So there was really no rush for this thing now, no need to rush. Zhu Youxiao could wait.
