These big trucks are all those big trucks, about three meters high and the width is about the same number, nearly three meters long. The chassis is even made of a whole huge wooden board, more than one foot thick, and eight pairs of iron wheels below, which can be said to be the sixteenth-large car of this era.

To put it bluntly, the powerful and fierce momentum produced by these eight giant cannons is definitely more than eighty Folang machine cannons placed together - this is easy to understand, just like a giant can always attract more attention than an ordinary person.

Kutuzov walked up and walked past these giant cannons one by one, touching them one by one. He showed a strong reluctance in his eyes. He stroked the bodies of these giant cannons, as if he was lingering on his lover's body.

Lian Zining just smiled slightly from the side and didn't stop him. He was a very realistic person. Since he had already gained benefits, let Kutuzov touch and see what happened, let people remember him!

Even the adults are very considerate.

After a while, Kutuzov sighed and leaned against the largest giant cannon, and said leisurely: "Thirteen years ago, that is, the ninth year of His Majesty the Tsar ascended the throne, if it were the era of your Ming Kingdom, it would be the thirty-ninth year of Zhengde. In July of that year, Britain built a cannon, which caused a sensation in Europe."

"This cannon is the most powerful weapon in the history of human civilization since God's creation. It is called... If translated into your Ming Kingdom, it is 'Queen Elizabeth's pistol'." He smiled slightly: "Is the name very weird? But although the name is so weird, its construction is medium and medium, of course, except for its abnormal length and diameter. This cannon is a gift received by Henry VIII. In my opinion, it is a gift given to the whole of Europe by British designers."

"Queen Elizabeth's pistol, the barrel has a caliber of 4 and 34 inches and a total length of 23 feet. This perverted guy can fire a 12-pound shell to 7 miles away. This cannon is the farthest cannon in Europe."

Lian Zining estimated that 4 and 34 inches were converted into units of later generations, which would be 121 mm. This caliber was also a very good figure in the era of giant ships and cannons in later generations, and it was even more unique in this era. However, compared with its muzzle tube wall with a waist thickness, this caliber is still a little smaller, obviously because the casting technology is far from that of later generations. Therefore, the cavity can only be prevented by thickening the tube wall. As for the length of twenty-three feet, it is more than seven meters. It is an ordinary number for today's cannons, and the cannons in the sixteenth century can only be described as abnormal.

As for the range, it is even more abnormal - seven miles, that is, 11,200 kilometers, 11,200 meters, 3,600 feet!

You should know that even Zining’s so-called “heavy artillery” is only more than 300 meters long. Compared with the range of Queen Elizabeth’s pistol, it is one-tenth of that of others!

Too perverted.

This is a product that crosses the ages, just like Britain built a super-era dreadnought in 1906. After announcing that the British Empire's naval strength was one era ahead of other countries, it caused panic among all other powerful countries, so they imitated, plagiarized, and built a large number of dreadnoughts.

There is no doubt that Queen Elizabeth's pistol, the giant cannon, is also an epoch-making product. Its range, its power, and even its size are unprecedented.

But what's different now is that the Ming Dynasty had no idea about the emergence of such giant cannons. Even because of the short-sightedness of some people, the firearms declined in the Ming Dynasty and were almost extinct. If it weren't for the Wuyi Army, Lian Zining's appearance would have been unimaginable.

As if he knew what Lian Zining was thinking, Kutuzov continued: "When His Majesty Henry VIII announced the news of this giant cannon to other countries, the whole of Europe was in a short period of time. The Kingdom of France, Spain, Portugal, the Holy Roman Empire, and even the Kingdom of Sweden, which lived in Northern and Eastern Europe, and our Russian Empire, all rose to imitate it. However, our steelmaking technology is far different from that of Britain, and it can build such a large amount. But either the blow-off or the lifespan is very short. Especially Russia, we are far behind others. By the time in recent years, other countries have imitated it, and we are still exploring it."

Kutuzov looked very moved, and he pointed to the remaining seven smaller cannons: "After my eyes were injured, I was recuperating from various European countries, and later I was sent to various military powers around to study. During the period of stay in the UK, we spent countless money and finally established a relationship and bought three cannons from there."

He pointed to the biggest one: "This is one of them, which is the same size as Queen Elizabeth's pistol. Ten were cast in batches, and there was no difference. As for the rest, we all imitated them, it was smaller, and the other data were also worse. I won't say them one by one. There are not many, and I have given you so many, I really don't know how to explain it after going back. Your Excellency Earl, this time, you should have seen our sincerity?"

Lian Zining was very happy and laughed: "I saw it, I saw it, I said, Kutuzov, you must be a believer."

The data parameters of these giant cannons are compared with the Flang machine cannons in Lian Zining's hand now. Every item is really a big win!

In other words, the two are not the same as heavyweight at all, just like comparing pistols with heavy machine guns. The difference is huge and there is no comparison at all.

"This is the red cannon!" Lian Zining held the cold cannon body with his hand, feeling a little sigh and emotion in his heart.

In fact, this kind of cannon has a name in China. After more than a hundred years, it is called the red-clothed cannon.

Many people think that the name of the red cannon is because in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they always like to cover the cannon with a layer of red cloak on the outside. In fact, this is not the case. The red cannon should be called the "Red Barbarian Cannon".

The red-breasted cannons were also the Red-breasted Holland, so most people believe that the Red-breasted cannons were imported from the Netherlands. In fact, the Ming Dynasty called all front-loaded smooth-bored cannons imported from the West. The Ming Dynasty often covered these giant cannons with red cloth, so they were falsely called "red clothes". According to research, only a small number of the Red-breasted cannons imported from the Ming Dynasty were imported from the Dutch East India Company. Later, due to the Taiwan issue, most of them were obtained from trading with the Portuguese in Macau. The Ming Dynasty had a huge demand at that time, and the Portuguese also became a middleman to sell British ship-borne cannons to China.

In principle, the homemade large-caliber muskets in the early Ming Dynasty were exactly the same as these Red and Wild cannons. They were all equipped with smooth-bore fire door ignition type, but they were very different when they were made. In the early Ming Dynasty, the muskets mostly used copper as raw materials, and the inner chamber was horn-shaped. The barrel seemed thin, and the barrel seemed too short in terms of its caliber, and their appearance was basically the same as the earliest existing Yuan Dynasty "Bowl Guns". Compared with the Red and Wild cannons, this kind of musket filled with gunpowder gas is not well sealed, so the range is short, and the firing rate is relatively short. Although it is not easy to explode with copper, it is expensive and the copper is too soft. Each shot will cause the barrel to expand, and the shooting accuracy and range will drop very quickly. As a weapon, the life is too short. The only advantage is its light weight.

That's all.

The Red-Yi Cannon has many advantages in design. Its barrel is long and the pipe wall is very thick. It is gradually thickened from the muzzle to the tail, which is in line with the principle of the chamber pressure from high to bottom when the gunpowder is burning. There are cylindrical gun ears on both sides of the center of gravity of the gunboat. The gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis and change the range with the amount of gunpowder. It has a sight and a gate, and the ballistics are calculated according to the parabola, with high accuracy. Most Red-Yi Cannons are about 3 meters long, with a diameter of 110,130 mm and a weight of more than 2 tons.

The most prominent advantage of the Red-Black Cannon is its range. For heavy artillery, range is an important part of measuring its performance, even nowadays. The maximum range of self-made iron muskets in the Ming Dynasty was not more than three miles, and they had to risk the explosion; while generally a 3,000-pound red-Black cannon can easily hit seven or eight miles away. Historical records can reach ten miles at most! Ten miles is equivalent to more than five kilometers in modern times, which is quite far away. This data is quite accurate. At that time, Western European countries already had the concept of territorial waters. At that time, the territorial waters were determined by the range of coastal artillery. At the end of the 16th century, the territorial waters were three nautical miles, which was about 5.5 kilometers.

The long-range red-Black cannon combined with flowering bullets became the most powerful weapon against the Later Jin cavalry in the late Ming Dynasty. The tactic at that time was: lure the cavalry of the Later Jin into the range of the Red-Black cannons on the city, and then use flowering bullets to gather fire to shoot. The effect was very significant, and even Nurhaci was killed. For a long time, the Later Jin cavalry did not dare to attack strategic places such as Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and Shanhaiguan, which were equipped with red-Black cannons.

The red-branded cannons performed well in actual combat, which attracted the attention of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to importing, there were also a large number of imitations. However, the national strength in the late Ming Dynasty was not strong and it was impossible to cast and import more expensive red-branded cannons. However, the red-branded cannons gradually became the backbone of heavy firearms in the Ming Dynasty's army, eliminating the original heavy large-caliber muskets.

However, due to Lian Zining's existence, the red-clothed cannon, which had only appeared nearly a hundred years later, when the Liaodong Jurchens were fighting in the late Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, entered the land of the Ming Dynasty a hundred years ahead of schedule.

Lian Zining's vision is definitely not comparable to that of the traditional officials of the Ming Dynasty.

His understanding and importance to artillery have been spared no effort in development. It can be said that he is the first person in China in more than a thousand years.

What kind of brilliant light will these red cannons that arrived early in Lian Zining's hands?

Lian Zining has already started thinking about how to use these cannons well.

Lian Zining took a look again, suddenly the smile on his face was restrained, and he stared at Kutuzov and said, "Don't you have twenty giant cannons? Why are there only eight here?"

I was so excited just now that I noticed the problem only now that Lian Zining felt a little angry after being deceived.

"We also want to give you ten gates." Kutuzov smiled bitterly: "But we fought a war with the Jurchens before and snatched four gates, and now we are all that."

"Oh? In other words, there are four doors in the hands of the Jurchens now?" Lian Zining thought about it after receiving a positive answer.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Kutuzov took the opportunity to say, "Emperor, I am entrusted by our Governor this time. I also want to discuss with you about your next intention to operate the Jurchens in the next military operation. What do you think?"

Lian Zining had already made up his mind to sit firmly on Diaoyutai, as if he was still moving, but he also wanted to hear Kutuzov's opinions.

Then he stretched out his hand: "Please!"

The two were about to go to the Central Army's tent, Shi Dazhu had already begun to command the artillery soldiers, Qianhu, Qianhu, and others who were shining with their eyes, to receive these cannons. At this moment, the group suddenly ran over hurriedly. However, they were not wearing the Ming army's big red fat jacket or armor, but were wearing thick fur coats, and the big hats that were turned up with thick fur on their heads, just like hunters in the mountains.

These people hurried over with their hats, shouting as they ran: "Sir, be slower, be slower."

Lian Zining showed a smile on his lips and waved his hand. The soldiers stopped their movements.

The person who came was Gonzalez. They ran to Lian Zining and knelt down and saluted: "I have seen the adults."

Lian Zining laughed and walked up to help Gonzalez up: "Old Gang, look, this time, I've given you a big gift!"

Gonzalez smiled and said, "As soon as he heard from the adults, I felt itchy immediately."

Lian Zining pointed to the giant cannons: "Look at it!"

"Yes, sir." Gonzalez had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He also had several capable craftsmen under his command. He almost rushed to the extremely powerful cannon in a manner like a vicious dog.

"Oh my god!" Gonzalez exclaimed when he saw the huge cannon body of the giant cannon, and his face showed a huge obsession. He turned around the giant cannon in circles, muttering words in his mouth.

Those craftsmen were not much better, and they were shocked, excited, and obsessed, just like they had hysteria.

It seems that this is the case, but I can't get enough time.

Kutuzov was secretly shocked, thinking no wonder the artillery of the Wuyi Army is so powerful. It turns out that there are people from the continent serving in his army!

Lian Zining had already waved to him: "Kutzov, don't worry about them. Let's go to the account to discuss matters."

The two of them stayed in Lian Zining's tent for an hour.

At this time, the sky was completely dark. In the Wuyi Army camp, countless lights were shining. Butter headlights and fire barns were everywhere. It was already the twelfth lunar month, one of the coldest times of the year. At night, the temperature was as low as minus twenty degrees Celsius, and the cold wind swept through the flames. The flames were blown to life and death.

Lian Zining stood above the gate and looked at Kutuzov, who was surrounded by hundreds of cavalrymen, with a deep look.

I talked with Kutuzov for a whole hour today. Lian Zining said very little, and I spent most of my time listening. After all, Lian Zining is now in constant response to changes, and he has nothing to say. But Kutuzov has obviously been brewing for a long time, and maybe he has discussed it with the Russian military think tanks many times, and has already developed a huge and rigorous improvement plan.

This plan was not disclosed to Lian Zining, but what Lian Zining heard had already made him conclude that if his Wuyi army and the Russians worked together, it would not be difficult to defeat Wanyan Yeping's tens of thousands of troops.

Note that it is to defeat, not to wipe out all!

This will clear the last obstacle to the Jurchen Khanate and completely destroy the Great Jin Kingdom.

However, his thoughts were destined to be wasted. Lian Zining's current state of mind was very different from when he swore to the north, so he had another plan.

Lian Zining's eyes moved away from the Black Mountain knights and turned to the two camps in the distance, one in the southwest and the other in the northwest. The Wuyi Army camp is also a high ground, so you can see that the two camps are also full of stars.

Lian Zining stared at them for a long time, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Until the cold wind, my face was sore that my body was even colder, as if the coldness had penetrated into my bones.

Nona felt distressed and looked at it and pulled the corner of his clothes. Lian Zining turned around and smiled, patted her little hand.

Cold.

Then he turned around, went down the building, and walked towards the Central Army's tent.

As we walked along the way, we could see soldiers patrolling the night. Although it was particularly cold, the number of cavalry patrolling at night was twice as many as the number of cavalry and infantrymen in small flags. There were also three miles away in the camp, constantly patrolling to prevent all accidents from happening. In winter, in order to keep the cold, there were a lot more fires at night than before, and at this time the three forces were intertwined, which was very complicated, and we also had to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp. With such strong wind, such a big fire, such dry climate, it would not be a trivial matter if the water was gone.

Lian Zining turned sideways to Shi Dazhu and said, "I just stood up for a while, and it was so cold that I couldn't stand it anymore. These soldiers had a lot of hard work on patrols at night. Now, it's getting colder. This is nothing, and it's even colder. This time, the logistics company is supposed to bring a lot of fur and cotton wool? Let's tell Wang Dachun later and ask him to make a batch of leather coats and quilts to send them to the soldiers to save any accidents."

Shi Dazhu responded quickly.

The fastest update, please.
