The old craftsman is the old craftsman, and after taking the silver, the work is very slippery.

But in three hours, the drawings taken out by Zhu Cijiong have become real objects.

Ma Sanwa held the three-edged thorn with a blue pattern in both hands and presented it to Zhu Cijiong:

"Little owner, this is what we built according to the drawings, you can see if there are any things that need to be modified."

"So fast!" Zhu Cijiong was a little incredulous, he indicated on the drawings that at least fifty forged steel would be needed to build it.

"The little owner didn't know, when I came the day before yesterday, someone came here, and we were idle, so we refined some iron ore and made some iron ingots in advance."

Ma Sanwa came very early, and as soon as he came, others boiled the molten iron, so he made a few pieces of dozens of forged steel billets and put them aside for preparation.

After all, they are here to work for others, maybe the owner wants to try their craft, and if they are prepared in advance, they can leave a good impression on the owner!

"I see!"

Zhu Cijiong nodded, picked up the three-edged thorn, and looked at it carefully.

It is about one and a half feet long, the whole is triangular in shape, the whole body is smooth, only the front end is open, the rib body has a blood groove, the handle is slightly thicker, and the inside is hollow, which is for inlaying the long handle.

"Good stuff!" Zhu Cijiong sighed.

Triangular thorns, but the king of bayonets.

"How's the intensity?" Zhu Cijiong waved it and found that this length, if it was a close combat, it was just enough to be used for hand-to-hand combat.

"Just try it!"

Ma Sanwa laughed.

He believes in his craft.

After this thing was made, they experimented with the iron sheet.

Five wires of thick iron sheet, which can be broken when stabbed, and hard pine wood, which can pierce two fingers with a wave of the hand, and the tip of the thorn has nothing to do.

Zhu Cijiong held the three-edged thorn back, took a deep breath, and slammed it down, directly on the table.

"Bang!"

The triangular thorn stabbed steadily into the table, and its tail buzzed.

"Enough profits!" Zhu Cijiong praised and stretched out his hand to pull out the three-edged thorn.

On the tabletop, a three-edged hole two fingers deep is left.

And the triangular thorns, intact.

"Master Ma, is this thing complicated to build?"

After determining the quality, Zhu Cijiong began to inquire about the difficulty of the process.

"It's much easier than a broadsword."

Ma Sanwa laughed: "The little proprietor doesn't know, if you make a big knife, the blade needs to go through more than a dozen processes, and you have to bury iron bars to increase toughness. ”

"The only difficulty of this three-edged thorn is this cylinder at the end of the cylinder.

I think the opening here should be inserted into the wooden handle, if the cylinder is not done well, it is easy to burst here. ”

Zhu Cijiong nodded.

The triangular spine itself exists as a muzzle accessory, and its function is to fight the bayonet in hand-to-hand combat.

However, the musket rate of fire in this era was insufficient, and almost every battle was inevitably hand-to-hand.

Because the steel hardness of the barrel is not enough, it is normal to scrap a barrel in a hand-to-hand fight.

Therefore, Zhu Cijiong decided to equip the three-edged thorn with a handle, so that it could be used as a short spear in close combat.

In the era when there were no stitches, the wounds caused by the triangular thorns were almost insolvable.

Regarding the defect that Ma Sanwa said, Zhu Cijiong wanted to know how such an old craftsman would solve it?

Ma Sanwa scratched her head and pointed to the end of the cylinder with a three-edged thorn: "We discussed it for a while, thinking of adding a bone here at the end, so that the process will be much simpler, and this thing can be handed over to the apprentice." ”

Zhu Cijiong nodded.

He remembered that our party had imitated a lot of triangular thorns in the most difficult period, and the level of craftsmanship in this era would not be much different from that time.

"Mr. Liu!"

Zhu Cijiong called the account room and said, "Take two pieces of money and reward them to the masters." ”

Liu's account room is the account room cultivated by the Zhang family themselves, and he knows Zhu Cijiong's identity.

Liu didn't ask much, just recorded it in the book, and then took out two pieces of money and put them on the table.

"Ma Sanwa, you can take these two pieces of money and divide them among the masters." Zhu Cijiong pushed two thousand copper coins in front of Ma Sanwa.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Ma Sanwa was moved: "Little owner, we have already received our wages, don't dare to ask for it again!" ”

"Take it!" Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but say, and directly put the money in Ma Sanwa's hands.

"You should be able to guess what I'm going to do, brothers follow me and do things, so to speak, with their heads pinned to their belts.

At this time, everything I say is false, to make your family better, and this is the only thing I can give you at the moment. ”

Ma Sanwa fell to her knees with a puff: "The kindness of the little owner, I thank you on behalf of the craftsmen!" ”

"Get up, in front of me in the future, don't kneel down at every turn!" Zhu Cijiong pulled Ma Sanwa up, he reached into his arms and took out a drawing:

"This is a blueprint for a musket, can you see what it might build?"

"Alas!" Ma Sanwa sighed, they already knew what the Zhang family wanted to do, but when they saw the drawing of this musket, they only sighed.

I've already gotten on the thief ship, and if I want to get down again, it's going to be difficult!

Besides, it is much more enjoyable to follow the small owner than to do things with the government.

They used to help the government do things, let alone make money, and if they didn't lose their own money, it could be regarded as the benevolence of the government!

"Little owner, the musket doesn't understand, you should go to Ding Da Niu."

Ma Sanwa pointed out: "Don't look at Ding Da Niu's recklessness, their family has built muskets for the government for generations, which can be said to be a one-body skill, not to mention muskets and guns, even bird guns and Lumi guns can also be built." ”

He gritted his teeth and sold his peers.

"Oh!"

This time it was Zhu Cijiong's turn to be surprised.

The Ming Dynasty implemented the artisan household system, and those who could make muskets were concentrated in a few large workshops.

The Qing court copied the Ming Dynasty, and the craftsmen had already been strictly controlled.

On the Nanyang side, it is not easy to find people who create bird guns and Lu Mi guns!

Daming didn't set up a weapon battle bureau in Nanyang......

Ma Sanwa saw Zhu Cijiong's doubts, and he explained: "His family is a craftsman from the Nanzhili Instrument Bureau, and he fled here during the Hongguang Dynasty......"

……

Ding Daniu was called over, holding the drawings given to him by Zhu Cijiong, looking at Zhu Cijiong in surprise, but he couldn't stop trembling.

"The little dare to ask, the little proprietor is ......"

If there are people who know the manufacturing method of firearms, Ding Da Niu believes it.

However, the two things - bird gun and Lu Mi gun are the core secrets of the imperial court.

Even, let him build, he can make it, let him draw the drawings, mark the dimensions, but it can't.

"The Ming Dynasty is not dead!"

Zhu Cijiong took a deep breath and slowly said five words.
