Edo Traveler

Vol 2 Chapter 21: Secretly Clipping Guns

   What more do I need to say?

   Not much to say, Chuemon tried his best to pretend to be casual and picked up this manuscript signed by Doctor Shiro Takashima. If you are familiar with the modern history of Japan, you should know that this so-called doctor Shiro Takashima is the famous Akho Takashima in modern Japan. He is known as the ancestor of Japanese modern artillery technology, and his status is extremely high.

   Historically, this old man helped build the Shinagawa Fort to defend the coast of Edo Bay. In 1855, he participated in the creation of the Kyobu Institute, served as the artillery teacher and weapon practicer of the Kyobu Institute, and translated the "Takashima Ryu Gunshu Biography".

  Or some people will play a game called "Nobunaga's Ambition". There is a treasure that can increase the skill level of the iron cannon, which is the Takashima Artillery Book. It's just that most people might not have cared about this thing at all. It's like that Tadaoemon originally stripped his family treasure from others to equip him and then he never took care of it again.

   As for the Gobes Iron Gun, let alone more. It doesn't matter if you call him a brown bass or a brown bass. Anyway, everyone knows such a thing.

  Following the British Empire where the sun never sets, it has gone through a long journey to the world for almost eighty years, and it is still the standard equipment of the British army in active service. This rifle was used to fight Napoleon, and this rifle was used to fight the next door. If you want to open (copy) open (hundred) and say (degree), even if you can write three or five thousand words on the water without duplicates.

   If you are interested, you just need to know it by yourself, as long as you know that this Gobes iron gun is a sturdy, durable, low-cost energy production, low ammunition demand, and low manufacturing requirements for a front-loaded flintlock musket.

   After all, this gun can be fired in the cold of minus 40 degrees in Russia, and it can be fired in the midsummer of 40 degrees in India!

  The point is that even the Indians can make this thing by hand, so I don't think Japanese blacksmiths can't make it. It is nothing more than the lack of tools such as manual drilling machines to speed up manufacturing.

   As long as this gun can be made, it can be regarded as not lagging behind the world's weapons for three hundred years. You must know that this gun can be used to serve the British Empire for twenty or thirty years before it is completely retired. When he retires, the black ships have already sailed to Edo Bay.

   The disciples of Watanabe Kasayama saw Chuemon suddenly picking up a book, and the police were in their hearts. After all, Chuemon was the angel sent by the shogunate to verify Watanabe Kasayama's death. Watanabe Kasayama also has a special status. He is a "political prisoner" of the shogunate. If the shogunate finds out that he is uttering a few words...

   Give him all his ashes!

   A disciple named Haruyama Suzuki quietly approached Chuemon, and found that Chuemon was reading a book made of firecrackers, and his heart calmed slightly. Although this book belongs to the kind of imported orchid studies, in the era of the eight generation general Tokugawa Yoshizong, he has publicly ordered that, in addition to books about Christianity, orchid studies can be allowed to enter Japan.

   Books such as agriculture, medicine, and astronomy have entered Japan in a short period of time. After all, these things are closely related to people's production and life. Agronomy can farm the land, medicine can save people, astronomy can count the farming time, and it is also convenient for the development of agriculture.

   The original intention of Tokugawa Yoshizong was to import some of these books. It is better to import some foreign seeds and the like, so that the medicines, dyes and other items that need to be imported can be produced domestically to avoid the outflow of precious metals.

As soon as   口子 was opened, in addition to the strict prohibition of Christian books, other books on mathematics, chemistry, physics, military, etc. also entered Japan in an endless stream. Everyone knows that Japan is a country that can't do it on their own, and they will desperately go to learn from foreign countries. As long as the foreign country is really better than him, even if you kneel and lick, you have to learn.

   As far as I have learned it, and then I am better than you, it’s hard to say how it will be...

   Therefore, Watanabe Kasayama is the elder of the Tahara Clan, and it is quite normal to have iron guns at home to make books. Although Tianyuan Fan was only a small 12,000-stone prince, he was also a prince, and a prince was qualified to equip the iron cannon team.

   Since the introduction of iron cannons in the Warring States Period, the manufacturing technology of iron cannons has been gradually promoted and spread. Later, basically every big fan had its own iron cannon workshop. Some Xiaofans even have the manufacturing technology of iron cannons, which is not uncommon anymore.

  Theoretically, if there is a war, General Tokugawa gave an order, that would require the various domains to produce iron cannon teams, you don’t have iron cannons to tell you!

   "I don't know what the angel thought..." Suzuki Haruyama asked cautiously.

   "Oh, nothing happened, but I have never seen iron guns before, and I am a little curious." Chuyouemon was curious, and he couldn't put it down.

The Gobes iron gun manufacturing method written by Dr. Shiro Takashima is too detailed and comprehensive. It not only describes the entire gun manufacturing process one by one~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it also comes with a certain picture. . In addition, there are also detailed manufacturing methods and matching processes for the gunpowder bullets that need to be used.

  Although it was shown to Chuemon, it must be impossible to make a musket, but if you take it to the church blacksmiths, you may be able to make a musket that will not lag behind in the world for the time being.

   "Most of these are just paintings and calligraphy by master teachers, and there are no bans and other words, please don't worry about the angels." Suzuki Haruyama saw Tadaoemon just curious, and he was secretly relieved.

   "However, I still need to bring the text back to Edo, sir, you may check it." Chuemon nodded, confirming that there are no prohibited items in it.

But all the written things must be packed away. After all, things like hidden poems are not only written by the Chinese literati next door. Who knows if there will be anything in the remaining words The existence of taboos.

   "The little one understands, the little one understands..." Seeing that Chuemon was quite good at talking, several disciples of Watanabe Kasayama who were present helped to pack these Watanabe Kasayama's books.

  Tadaemon coughed lightly, and calmly pinched the volume of "Gobes Iron Gun Manufacturing Method" under his armpit. Everyone wanted to quickly send Chuemon Gate away, but the shogunate stayed here, and relatives of Watanabe Kasayama looked uncomfortable. So don't say anything to point it out, I don't even look at it too much.

Heizo, who was vomiting on one side, finally recovered. Seeing Chuemon was packing Watanabe Kasayama's books, he waved his hand and signaled that he was still not good enough. He was going to lie down and let Chuemon watch it for himself. Write.

   can't ask for it!

  Tadaemon watched them pack the books. This Watanabe Kasayama is really a current university scholar. There are many books in the Lanxue collection. It seems that we must find a way to intercept this batch of books.
