Chapter Twenty-Six: Mu Ying's Son
"呯呯呯~"
As the musketeers in the first row fired, the targets in front of them were shot, and the musketeers in the second row immediately stepped forward, followed by the third row, but after the third row of shots, there was a pause, because the musketeers in the first row had not yet loaded their ammunition.
I finally waited for the musketeers in the first row to load their ammunition, but when they fired again, there was an accident, someone was seriously injured on the spot because of too much charge caused the musket to explode, and was seriously injured on the spot and carried away, and the remaining shooting results were far worse than the first time, and many targets in front of them did not even move, obviously missing the target.
Looking at the drills of this group of musketeers, a young man standing on the side of the school field had a gloomy face, and a hundred households next to him were even more frightened, peeking at the young man's face from time to time, as if he was afraid that the other party would blame him.
After the musketeers on the field finished their drills, the young man took a deep breath at this time, as if he was suppressing his anger, and then asked the hundred households next to him in a cold voice: "This is the three-stage attack you practiced for me?" ”
"Qianhu forgiveness, it's not that his subordinates don't do their best, but that this really can't increase the rate of fire!" Baihu immediately knelt on the ground and shouted for himself, he had worked hard, but he couldn't meet the requirements of his top boss, don't look at this young Qianhu, he knew that the other party's background was terrifying.
"It's okay that the rate of fire can't be increased, but looking at your drills, the soldiers are in a hurry when charging, and the weight of gunpowder is uncertain, either less or more, and there is even an accident of exploding, if you go to the battlefield, not only will you find your own death, but also affect others, can you bear this responsibility!" The young Qianhu finally couldn't suppress his anger and reprimanded loudly.
Baihu's face turned pale with fright, but in the end, he couldn't help but argue for himself: "The subordinates are not doing things well, but Qianhu has asked to increase the rate of fire, but the soldiers only have two hands, and as soon as the speed increases, it is inevitable that there will be negligence, and it is normal to not grasp the amount of gunpowder well!" ”
"Bastard thing! How dare you quibble! The young Qianhu was also angry when he heard this, and he was about to kick people when he raised his foot.
However, just when the young Qianhu's feet had not yet fallen, he only heard a clear voice say: "Mu Qianhu leaves people at his feet, even if you kick this Baihu to death, I'm afraid it will be difficult to increase the rate of fire!" ”
The young Mu Qianhu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately turned his head to look, only to see a handsome young man walking slowly not far away, with a friendly smile on his face, which made people feel good at first sight.
"You...... Are you Li Jie? Mu Qianhu was stunned at first when he saw this handsome young man, and then called out Li Jie's name.
"Mu Qianhu knows me?" This time it was Li Jie's turn to be surprised, the reason why he came here was because of the introduction of his father Li Zhu, which let him know that this Mu Qianhu was also in the Ordnance Bureau, but compared to the illustrious in history, the other party is still just a small Qianhu.
"On the birthday of the Korean Gongda, I went to pay homage on behalf of my father and brother." I saw that this Mu Qianhu finally withdrew his foot, and looked at Li Jie and said with a smile, he still remembered Li Jie's performance at the birthday banquet that day.
Li Jie also showed a little embarrassed look when he heard this, he didn't expect Mu Qianhu to be present that day, but with the other party's family background, it was normal to go to pay homage, but there were too many people that day, and he didn't have much impression of Mu Qianhu.
"Cough~, that's a coincidence, if you forget it, let's meet for the second time, I heard that Xipinghou is going back to Beijing, and I have admired Xipinghou for a long time!" Li Jie quickly adjusted his mentality, and immediately smiled and said politely again.
The young man in front of him is named Mu Sheng, the second son of Mu Ying, the Marquis of Xiping, Mu Ying and his eldest son Mu Chun have been guarding Yunnan all the year round, but they left Mu Sheng, the second son, in the capital. Mu Sheng served as a thousand households in Xingwuwei, and he was stationed around the Ordnance Bureau and was responsible for the security of the entire Ordnance Bureau. The reason why Li Jie came to find Mu Sheng was, of course, for his own purpose.
"My father has already left from Yunnan, but the distance is far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the capital until next year, Brother Li, what are you doing with the envoy of the Li Bureau to the Ordnance Bureau?" Mu Ying was also looking at Li Jie when he spoke, Li Jie's performance that day was like crazy, and many people said that he was crazy again, but with Mu Ying's current view, Li Jie in front of him seemed to be quite normal.
"There was a problem with the firearms, and the craftsmen in the process couldn't solve it, so I came to help them solve it." Li Jie said unceremoniously.
"The craftsmen in the work can't solve it, but Brother Li can solve it?" Mu Ying was originally just curious about Li Jie, but now she was surprised when she heard his words, but then she was a little suspicious, this Li Jie couldn't really be talking crazy, right?
"In fact, it's just some small problems, it's nothing more than the problem that the gunpowder has been placed for a long time, which leads to a decrease in power, I helped them find a solution, and I also taught them to purify the material, so that the power of gunpowder has doubled!" Li Jie smiled again, he wanted to ask Mu Sheng for a favor, of course, he had to show his value as soon as possible.
"You...... You're not kidding, are you? Mu Sheng finally showed a serious expression at this time, their Mu family is the most proficient in firearms, last year his father in the battle of Dingbian, is to use firearms to break the 300,000 rebels in Yunnan, and the reason why he ordered his subordinates to practice three stages of attack is also to wait until his father comes, to show his father his achievements, so as to please his father.
"Mu Qianhu looks at me like he's joking? And I know all about making these firearms, and my father has already written an official document and reported it to the Ministry of Industry, so I think you will soon be using new gunpowder! Li Jie smiled again.
However, although Li Jie was smiling on his face, he sighed secretly in his heart, although he improved the gunpowder, Li Zhu would also report his credit to the Ministry of Industry, but it was difficult to send it directly to Zhu Yuanzhang, because technology was not valued in this era, at most, the Ministry of Industry would reward him, so if he wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to know his credit, he had to find another way.
Mu Sheng heard that Li Zhu had already reported to the Ministry of Industry, and now he completely dispelled his suspicions, after all, he still trusted Li Zhu very much, but then he looked at Li Jie a little strangely and said: "Brother Li is talented, but I don't know why Brother Li came to me?" ”
Finally the key question is asked! Li Jie said secretly in his heart, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed at the musketeers who were practicing in the field and said, "Didn't Mu Qianhu think that the firing rate of these soldiers was too slow, I am here to help you solve the problem!" ”
"Do you have a way?" Mu Sheng was shocked again when he heard Li Jie's words, but then he felt that Li Jie's tone was too big, these three blows were created by his father Mu Ying, and he had long been familiar with it, if there was a way to improve it, how could he not think of it?
