Su: "Do you know whether you are good or bad?"

Youshi: "It's true."

Su: "Is this good or bad, false, stealing, bullying?"

Youshi: "It's really bad."

Su: "However, if a general defeats the Qin people and bullies the Qin soldiers, is this bad?

Youshi: "It's not, it's good."

Su Family: "If a general pretends to deceive the Qin people and sends soldiers to steal the Qin people's food and fodder, is this not good?"

Youshi: "It's not, it's good."

Su: "Your words are all bad, false, stealing, and bullying, so why do you say that they are good?"

Youshi: "My intention is false, false, stealing, and bullying the Qin people, but not the Chu people. This is good for the Qin people, and this is bad for the Chu people."

Su: "However, I will say it again. The Chu army was trapped by the Qin people in Changping. The food route was cut off. After a long attack on Qinlei, the soldiers were injured and injured. The army had no morale and had no intention of fighting. The general deceived him and said, "Fei Xun has arrived, Ying's army is thirty miles away, and the king personally led it. The king ordered: early food to attack the Qin people's right, and attack them in a joint battle. This battle will be won!" The entire army was greatly promoted and broke out of the siege in one go. Is this good or bad?"

Youshi: "This should be good."

Su: "A boy from Yingdu was sick and was afraid of the doctor. He cried and said, 'I have no illness, I have no illness'. His father deceived him and said, 'The medicine is really sweet'. Then he took the medicine and the illness was gone. Is his father's actions not good?"

Youshi: "This is good."

Su: "There is a man in the northern city of Daliang. He doesn't marry because he has no house. How sad is he? He wants to hide his sword, but his friend steals his sword. Is this not good?"

Youshi: "This is good."

Su: "You once said: 'It is okay to be false, false, steal, and bully the Qin people, but it is not good for relatives and friends, brothers, and Chu people. This is good for Qin people, and this is bad for Chu people.' Nowadays, there are many examples of relatives and friends, brothers, and Chu people, how can you praise the good?

Youshi: "Alas! I no longer know what good is and what bad is not."

For Ganluo and Meng Yi, the mission to the country outside Kyushu was an extremely arduous journey, especially through the desert areas. Due to the sandstorm, half of the people in the mission died of water shortage. Fortunately, they rely on the intermittent oasis and large and small cities in the desert, and they spent two years crossing the Pamir Mountains and reaching Bactricia west of the Kunlun Mountains.

Just like Aristotle IV's "Journey to the East", Ganluo was also recording his experiences on the westward journey along the way, especially the coup last night. The original king had no interest in selling dragon horses, but now if he has changed to another king, things may turn around.

However, any transit mission has two insurmountable problems. First: the two sides must communicate through two Rong people's translations; second, they leave Xianyang and pass through Didaoyi (now Lintao County, Gansu Province), which is the westernmost end of the Qin Great Wall. It takes another 10,000 miles to Baktria, and it takes two years to go one way.

"Report to the Shangqing, the Baidi people are visiting." Meng Yi's report came from outside the house.

"The Baidi people are visiting?" Gan Luo quickly put away his pen and ink and Chu paper. Although Qin and Chu had already banned the purchase of Chu paper after Qin and Chu were in trouble, Gan Luo still brought a lot of them. "So quickly and ask for information."

He said as he walked into the atrium. Unlike the atrium in the Chinese world, the atrium of Greek-style buildings is actually a garden in the middle of a house. The garden must have a stone colonnade on one side, and the garden is filled with flowers and plants and pools, and some fish are raised in the pool.

Ganluo and Meng Yi, who was beside him, walked along the gate facing the garden and saw an old Greek man with a high forehead walking towards him surrounded by servants. After passing the pool, the old man stopped, and his hands were folded in front of him to bow to him. Ganluo's mind banged, and waited for Meng Yi to whisper that he solemnly returned the gift to him.

As if in a dream, it seemed that the Armament Department had countless gunpowder overnight, which could be squandered by the artillery. At the same time, a larger and longer new cannon was also produced by Jutien Mansion.

At this time, everyone knew the secret of gunpowder, and the various departments of the Grand Sima Mansion gradually learned that the king had made a new weapon that could rival the power of thunder. However, Grand Sima still had many controversies about the use of this new weapon.

The first one is that its power is between a catapult and a crossbow, making him a weapon that is meatless and tasteless. However, when the cannon charges four times the medicine and fires the shells one thousand two hundred meters away, the cannon disappears without a trace.

Of course, more than 1,200 meters is not an effective range, and the effective range is less than half of the longest range, which is only a few dozen steps further than the catapult, but this is enough. Although the catapult fires 100 kilograms of stone bombs, the catapult is difficult to move and cannot fight in the field; although the Jingjuan can also fire about five kilograms of stone bombs, it cannot throw the stone bombs to a thousand meters away.

Artillery was the best weapon to replace the catapult and the Jingbird. When will it be equipped, it gradually became the menstruation topic of the Grand Sima Mansion. However, before the discussion of the Grand Sima Mansion was completed, the king had already ordered the Juti Mansion to build artillery, which had been built for more than 200 times. It was unexpected that these artillery were actually loaded on the sea boat.

In late autumn, a Chaos-class gunboat that had just been launched was sailing on Shaopi. When the autumn wind blew, the twelfth bell rang, Wu Kong, the artillery captain standing on the artillery deck, ordered the soldiers to load the bullets. At this moment, there were only four eighteen-pound naval cannons on the deck.

The artillery must be very cautious, especially the artillery mount of the sea pier cannon is completely different from the infantry cannon. The artillery mount is a low four-wheeled car, and the cannon is installed on the car. The ropes on both sides of the end of the car are connected to the bulwarks next to the opening of the cannon door. The huge recoil formed by firing the cannon shells will cause the cannon stand to retreat rapidly. The sea pier is not on land, and the longest beam is only ten meters. These ropes can control the distance of the rear seat of the cannon stand within two meters.

The gun mount, the artillery itself, and even the load-bearing capacity of the artillery deck, and the center of gravity of the gunboat, all determine that the cannons should not be reckless. This is also the reason why Xiong Jing did not choose a twenty-four-pound naval cannon. A twenty-four-pound naval cannon weighs two tons, which is just a calculation. In fact, the weight of a twenty-four-pound long cannon often reaches two and a half tons. With a more than four hundred kilograms of cannon trucks, its weight is nearly three tons. A six-class frigate with a draft of five or six hundred tons is only equipped with twenty-four eighteen-pound cannons at most, and the heavy ship will be unstable.

Although not in the sea, Xiong Jing, who was standing on the deck of the stern, could still feel the hull rising and falling with the waves. He liked this kind of ups and downs, but Xiang Yan and others who were standing beside him seemed not very much liked this kind of ups and downs, which made people dizzy.

"If you want to talk about cannons, you should talk about horses first. General thought that how many horses can be used for infantry cannons cannons?" Xiong Jing wanted to laugh at this time. Xiang Yan was obviously jealous of the Navy's first gun, and then he was reluctant to leave it alone.

Kong also had a surname of Mi, and his clan Wu. But this Wu clan... cough cough, women were in trouble with the country. When King Zhuang of Chu, Wu ministers were confused by Xia Ji's beauty and actually elope with Xia Ji to Jin. Therefore, Kong was ashamed to mention his clan to others and only told people his name. Wu Kong went from Jing crossbow to catapults to artillery, and then to artillery. Although the principles of weapon launching were different, he could use it very skillfully. Xiang Yan originally had high hopes for Wu Kong to form the first infantry artillery unit, but he did not expect that he was transferred to the sea boat by Xiong Jing.

"I think six horses are good." E Zhuo replied, "The total weight of infantry cannons is 1,800..."

"Wrong!" The twelve-pound gun body was easy to build, but it took nearly three years to barely set up. In the end, the twelve-pound gun ranks weighed 1,830 kilograms. "Four times the charge, the gun body had been thickened, and the weight of the twelve-pound gun was over 1,900 kilograms."

"Even if this is the case, you can also pull it into six horses." E Zhuo was stunned by Xiong Jing's "wrong" and as the director of the Transportation Department, he knew how heavy the six horses could pull it.

"How many stones can a six-horse cart be loaded on the grass?" Xiong Jing knew that E Zhuo did not realize his mistake, so he had to ask a question in another way, talking about the surprise attack on Xianyang that he had been planning. According to the plan, the cavalry of the four countries would detour from the grassland to the Yanshi barrier and finally attack Qin. The cavalry supplies were shipped by the accompanying four-wheeled carriage.

"Riding in the grass, grass..." E Zhuo originally estimated that the four-wheeled carriage with six horses could be loaded with 1.5 tons. In fact, six horses started to lose weight after being pulled by 1.5 tons. This was still a military horse. If it were replaced by a smaller Dima, the situation would be worse.

"The king thought how many horses should be used to help the infantry cannons?" E Zhuo's face turned red and her ears were red, and Xiang Yan had to speak out to save the scene.

"Eight horses are necessary." Xiong Jing's answer was slightly surprised. "The dragon horse can be reduced to six."

A few years ago, because of the publication of a certain field artillery history, someone proposed that a horse can only drag 160 kilograms, and a cannon cart can only drag three or six horses, and that too many can't be used. Therefore, he remembers the use of horses with horses. The normal pulling force of a horse is between 12 and 15% of the weight of a horse. The smaller the horse, such as a Mongolian horse, the higher the ratio. This is a normal pulling force. In extreme cases, the pulling force can reach or even exceed half of the weight of a horse.

The pulling force is like this, and pulling weight is to multiply the drag weight by the drag coefficient. This is not only related to the road conditions, but also to wheels and bearings. Although Chu State had roller bearings, there was no rubber as wheels. The resistance coefficient of any dirt road would exceed zero point one. In many cases, the resistance coefficient exceeded zero point one and approached zero point two.

This means that under normal pulling force, a Di horse weighing 300 kilograms can only weigh at least 225 kilograms, which is normally 250 kilograms. A twelve pound of a rank weighing 1,900 kilograms must be dragged by four horses, while a four-wheeled carriage towed by six horses has measured the coefficient of resistance to the grassland to reach 0.15, so the weight cannot exceed 1,800 kilograms. If a 500 kilogram carriage is reduced, the weight that six horses can tow on the grassland can be at most 1,300 kilograms.
