Chapter 332 Homemade Weapons
The emperor's return to the capital wasn't a spontaneous trip. Various ceremonies, rituals, routes, and resting places all had to be planned.
Zhao Xiaofei couldn't do anything about this, so he went to Ni Yuanlu and asked, "When will the emperor be able to go back to Beijing?"
"I have discussed with the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites, and we can set off in about a month," said Ni Yuanlu.
"Okay, I understand. I still have some things to deal with in the army. I will come back in a month to accompany the emperor back to the capital!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Prince Li, please don't be late! Otherwise it would be bad if you miss the auspicious time." Ni Yuanlu said.
"Of course! Oh, by the way, I heard that the emperor wanted to marry your granddaughter, but Lord Ni declined. Is that true?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"Thank you Prince Li for your concern! My granddaughter is young and ignorant, and is not suitable to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty." Ni Yuanlu said.
"You are just worried that your granddaughter will be wronged after entering the palace. Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Xiaofei said with a smile.
Ni Yuanlu said with horror: "Hey! Prince Li, you can't say that! I really think my little granddaughter is not suitable, but I don't mean to be reluctant to let her go!"
"Hey, old man! Don't explain. The emperor wanted my daughter to be his son's daughter-in-law. I refused at that time! There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Who wants their daughter to suffer in the palace? It's nothing!" Zhao Xiaofei said jokingly.
Ni Yuanlu looked at Zhao Xiaofei in disbelief. "This is such a good thing for you! And you're not willing to do it? Did you take the right medicine?"
"Believe it or not! Okay, I'm leaving! See you later!" Zhao Xiaofei said and strode out of the palace.
Ni Yuanlu looked at the carefree Zhao Xiaofei with a touch of envy. Having escaped death, he was living a wonderful, authentic life. Meanwhile, she was living with a mask on, afraid to voice her thoughts.
Zhao Xiaofei has to go back quickly now because he and Wanshan are discussing how to make some weapons with greater power and easier to find materials.
For example, the homemade rocket launcher was manufactured entirely according to the method used by the camels in the Syrian war in the Middle East.
Zhao Xiaofei asked the company to acquire a small steel mill, the kind that makes gas cylinders, and then to buy diesel and organic fertilizer.
Then, they mixed the mixture in a certain proportion to create explosives. They then stuffed the explosives into a gas tank, welded a tail fin to the tank, and added a fuse to the front. They then welded an iron frame with steel bars and connected it with a wire to ignite the flame.
This thing is powerful and the materials are easy to buy. If you add some steel balls to it, it will be even more lethal to people. It's simply a siege weapon!
There are also water pipe mortars. These weapons are all lethal, but at a short distance. However, they are enough for the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, with these weapons, there is no city that Zhao Xiaofei cannot attack.
Even without the air support of hot air balloons, the city could be easily captured.
The company was completely bewildered by the boss's unusual purchase, wondering what he was up to. Could it be that he had leased a farm abroad and was planning to buy some fertilizer to farm it?
After returning to Jingzhou, Zhao Xiaofei asked Wanshan to take the materials and make them quickly. They were ready to suppress the rebels on a large scale again after the emperor came to Beijing.
Wan Shan said, "Great stuff! Now with these homemade rocket launchers, there's no city we can't take down."
"After this thing is made, how many meters can it reach?" asked Zhao Xiaofei.
"One kilometer! If it's more than one kilometer, there will be no accuracy." Wanshan said.
Zhao Xiaofei thought about it and decided that this method was more cost-effective. He smiled and said to Wanshan, "After you're done, cover it up for me. I won't feel at ease unless I see it with my own eyes."
"Don't worry, boss. I'll call you when it's done!" Wanshan happily transported the materials away. Zhao Xiaofei turned around and traveled back to Chengdu.
Fang Xinyu saw Zhao Xiaofei and said, "With these weapons, I guess Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui and his ilk can just sing Liangliang!"
"If we do these things well, with our combat effectiveness, how long will it take us to capture Shanxi and Shaanxi?" asked Zhao Xiaofei.
"Three months will be enough! It's just that these things take a little time to make! Also, this thing shoots at a close range, and soldiers need to get close to shoot." Fang Xinyu said.
"Okay! After returning to Beijing, I plan to personally lead the troops westward from the capital, and you and Wanshan will lead the Kenan Army north. We will meet in Xi'an!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Good! This time we will definitely succeed!" said Fang Xinyu.
Zhao Xiaofei returned to Jingzhou and watched Wanshan personally start producing the copycat rocket launchers and mortars.
He looks quite scary and can be described as stupid, big, black and rough.
As soon as it was finished, Wanshan took Zhao Xiaofei to test fire a round. They set up the rack and placed the rocket launcher on it. The rack was adjustable, allowing for adjustments to the firing parameters.
Wanshan connected the wires and put the switch in Zhao Xiaofei's hand.
Zhao Xiaofei was very excited and pressed the button without saying a word.
There was a bang, and then I heard the whistling sound of a cannonball, like in TV dramas. It made me feel like I was gritting my teeth, and my scalp tingled.
When the rocket landed, there was a loud rumbling sound. A small red mushroom cloud appeared, followed by a shower of steel balls. Dozens of fat pigs were tied up at the firing range, and they were instantly shot into sieves. The pigs that were closest to them were reduced to piles of rotten meat, barely recognizable as pigs.
Everyone at the scene was shocked and opened their mouths wide, unable to believe that there were such terrifying weapons in the world.
Zhao Xiaofei laughed. It was like he had a rocket launcher in his hand and he had the temperament to dominate the world.
After the rocket launcher experiment, we tried the mortar, and the effect was also good.
Wanshan also developed directional mines, one of which could instantly turn 50 people within 50 meters into a bloody mess. However, directional mines were only used for camp defense, unless the enemy was lured into the minefield.
Zhao Xiaofei watched the Kenan Army drill again and saw that the overall coordination had improved significantly. He felt that there would be no problem this time, but he still planned to go back and call his brother.
In modern-day Nanjing, Zhao Xiaofei returns home to find his older brother. Zhao Xiaokun is busy changing his child's diaper! Without even looking up, he asks, "What's going on? Are they preparing for a major counterattack?"
"Yes! Look, Wanshan came up with the idea of making homemade rocket launchers and homemade mortars!" Zhao Xiaofei showed his brother his phone. He had previously recorded everything on his phone.
"That's right! We can recover the whole country this time! I have thought of a way these days that can not only unify the whole country but also unify the Asian region faster!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"What method?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
