Chapter 158: The Treasure of the Town Courtyard
On the school field, Xie Zhi stood on the Dianjiang platform, and Zhu Houzhao stood next to Xie Zhi, full of expectations.
After Wang Shouren led He Liang to prepare the target 100 meters away, he returned to the back of the Dianjiangtai and said, "Xie Zhi, the target is ready." ”
Xie Zhi hummed and prepared to fill the gunpowder.
He Liang spoke at the right time on the side and said, "Young Master, why don't you try it?" ”
There was a bit of sincerity in He Liang's eyes, and it didn't look like a fake.
This kid is a little loyal!
Xie Zhi was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Gu Dayong next to Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and said, "Xie Zhixian, our family can also try this firecracker." ”
Gu Da knew whether he was sincere or fake, and Xie Zhi's toes were clear.
After Xie Zhi finished loading the gunpowder, he directly gave the gunpowder to Gu Dayong, didn't he want to try?
"The gunpowder has been loaded, and Gu Gonggong just pulls the trigger on the target."
Gu Da grabbed the fire hammer with a clench, cowering, and his face turned pale.
After waiting for a while, Zhu Houzhao didn't say a word, and Gu Dayong had no choice but to tremble and raise the fire hammer towards the target.
If you are not sincere, why bother with this.
Don't say that Gu Dayong is not sincere, even if Gu Dayong is sincere, Xie Zhi will not use him to try.
Xie Zhi's hard-earned fire gun is just a credit to the Yin family's father and son.
Gu Dayong just tried the fire gun and took a share of the credit, wouldn't it be cheaper for him?
After Gu Da took the firearm in his trembling hand, Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Father-in-law Gu is kind, this county remembers, let's come from this county." ”
After Xie Zhi took the firecracker, he didn't hesitate anymore, and directly aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.
Xie Zhi has practiced some arrows and crossbows, and there is still a difference between this firebolt and an arrowhead, and Xie Zhi does not dare to guarantee that his firebolt will be able to hit the target.
Before pulling the trigger, Xie Zhi had already thought about it, it was his luck to be able to hit, even if he couldn't hit, he could prove like those soldiers in Yun Zhongwei that there was nothing wrong with his firecracker, and dissolve the fear of those soldiers because of the previous explosion of the firecracker.
As it turned out, he was lucky.
After the trigger was pulled, it was only a blink of an eye, and it was already hit by the target in front of him.
Perhaps the target was not installed very firmly, and after the target was impacted, it rushed backwards a few feet away.
This thing, Xie Zhi is also the first time to come into contact with it.
In such a situation, he couldn't figure out what the reason was for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, he only thought that the fire gun was powerful and the target was too close.
I had to face the soldiers in the school field below and ordered: "Move the target back." ”
After moving some distance, Xie Zhi fired again, and the impact was significantly smaller.
It seems that this is really the reason Xie Zhi thought.
Move again, launch again...
After two or three attempts, the final range of the firebolt was finally determined.
Zhu Houzhao looked big and asked, "This is already a hundred feet, right?" A high-quality bow and crossbow may not be able to do this. ”
The corners of Xie Zhi's mouth rose and said, "That's it, don't look at who made it." ”
Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and begged: "Xie Wu, let this palace also try?" ”
Who just looked unconvinced?
Xie Zhi was very resentful, and after adding gunpowder, he directly handed it to Wang Shouren and said, "Bo'an, you come, after all, this firearm will still be equipped with Yunzhongwei in the future." ”
Wang Shouren did not refuse, and after receiving the firearm, he pulled the trigger on the target in the distance.
It's a pity that the firebolt didn't hit the center of the target, but it still hit the target.
Wang Shouren had just put down the target, and Zhu Houzhao grabbed it.
Xie Zhi didn't hurry to take the firearm from Zhu Houzhao's hand, and said, "The minister is here to add." ”
Don't look at the firecracker, it's okay, but if the gunpowder is too much, then it's not necessarily.
Xie Zhi added gunpowder and handed it back to Zhu Houzhao.
The guy raised the firecrackle and quickly joked in the direction of the target.
With a thud, traces of firecrackers fell from the center of the target.
The guy proudly held the firearm and said proudly: "The first time I made this firecracker, I hit it." ”
It's as if it's not the first time.
Xie Zhi gave Zhu Houzhao a roll of his eyes, took the firearm from his hand, beckoned Yin Bing, who was waiting under the stage, and smiled: "Now rest assured, right?" Let's take this firecrackle first, no, this can't be called a firecracker anymore... It's called a flintlock pistol... To mass-produce this flintlock pistol, it is necessary to assemble it in Yunzhongwei as soon as possible, and on this basis, it is necessary to start improving the artillery and increasing the power of the artillery. ”
Xie Zhi can make this new type of firecracker, which can prove that Xie Zhinatu is no problem, Yin Shui was injured, also because his skills are not as good as others, Yin Bing probably balanced his heart, and responded: "Yes." ”
After Yin Bing responded, Xie Zhi said: "This flintlock pistol should be the most advanced firearm in the world, the manufacturing know-how must be kept secret and not leaked, from now on, the firearms workshop is not allowed to be approached..."
Wang Shouren took the lead in responding: "Well, this matter will be arranged in the future, and in addition, I will find some craftsmen to fill the firearms workshop in the future." ”
Xie Zhi replied: "Well, Yin Bing, you will be in charge of the firearms workshop." ”
Yin Bing didn't have much joy, and replied lightly: "Yes." ”
After arranging these, Xie Zhi said: "Okay, Bo'an, the matter of military training will be handed over to you to be responsible, the county will go back, and the yazhong will not be able to do without people." ”
......
Xie Zhi returned to the county office, and just after he took a breath, Tang Yin also came to look for him.
"I heard that the magistrate went to the Two Wolves Mountain, and I didn't bother, I have something to tell the magistrate."
Tang Yin is now focusing on the affairs of the village schools, and rarely returns to the county government.
Xie Zhi smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter?" Just say it! ”
Tang Yin opened his mouth and said, "If you are implicated in the main examiner, the county can understand it." ”
In the past, Xie Zhi may not know much about this person, and how can Xie Zhi not know about the people who are indirectly involved with him.
Xie Zhi nodded and said: "I know, Cheng Shilang was recommended as a prodigy at the age of ten, and he was ranked second in the first class in the second year of Chenghua. ”
Tang Yin sighed and said: "Cheng Shilang's temper is too upright, because of the matter below, he was implicated, although he was only fined, but he resigned in anger, the county, the two wolf mountain academies in the county will be completed soon, and I want to invite Cheng Shilang to come to the academy to teach." ”
Xie Zhi was still worried that the academy couldn't find a big coffee town, and Tang Yin's question was exactly what he wanted.
Without saying a word, Xie Zhi responded and said, "It's no problem, it's just that our two Wolf Mountain Academies are a little smaller, and I don't know if Cheng Shilang is willing to come." ”
Tang Yin was full of confidence and said: "Cheng Shilang has returned to his hometown, if the county magistrate agrees, he is willing to be this lobbyist." ”
Tang Yin: This has long wanted to invite Cheng Minzheng, right?
Xie Zhi smiled and replied: "There is nothing in this county that you can't agree, Bohu, you have a lot of friends, if you have any knowledgeable Confucians, please invite more, which one is willing to be the dean, they can be the dean, and they can meet any difficulties." ”
If you want the Two Wolf Mountain Academy to be famous, you have to ask some big names to come to the town.
After Xie Zhi responded, Tang Yin didn't say a word, got up and said, "Okay, I'll leave immediately." ”
Tang Yin said that he would go, without any mud and water.
......
Nearly a month later, Yun Zhongwei's flintlock pistol has begun to be equipped.
After all this time of training, these soldiers of Yun Zhongwei are no longer as scattered as they were at the beginning, and they can also do it.
Now in this situation, it's time to put training on the agenda.
Wang Shouren studied several sets of templates by himself, and after discussing with Zhu Houzhao, he called Xie Zhi to the Two Wolves Mountain.
Wang Shouren briefly introduced several of his ideas.
"Zhixian, the advantage of the cavalry is that it marches quickly, dealing with the cavalry, and in the next want to break its camp with artillery, and then fire the musketeers with flintlock pipers, and then when they are about to approach, they will send out the cavalry, and finally the infantry will finish the most."
There is no problem with the general method, but the most important thing is to look at the substantive cooperation.
Xie Zhi nodded and responded: "It's not a big problem, but when stepping up training, we must also consider how the other side reacts without the cooperation of one party, after all, the situation on the battlefield is completed in an instant, and any situation must be guaranteed." ”
Immediately, Xie Zhi asked again: "How many firearms are equipped?" ”
Wang Shouren didn't think deeply, blurted out, and said, "Thirty flintlock pistols and two cannons." ”
It's not easy to get so much in a month.
Xie Zhi nodded and said, "Assemble these to Yunzhongwei first, and you have to step up production in case you are unprepared." ”
In the event of a large-scale invasion by the Tatars, these can come in handy.
