"Ding! Bite! Clang! Clang! ”

The clanging of firearms was heard day and night.

With the near-infinite financial support of the national treasury, the scale of the Firearms Bureau expanded again, and countless resources were pulled into the steelmaking workshops and the Firearms Bureau, and as a result, the Firearms Bureau produced firing rifles and new cannons extremely quickly.

In just one month, more than 40,000 new firing rifles and hundreds of new cannons, as well as a large number of bullets and shells, were produced.

With certain considerations, the First Army stationed in Xuzhou and the Fourth Army stationed in Quanzhou were the first to be equipped with new weapons.

When this batch of new weapons was pulled to Xuzhou.

Ji Feng, the commander of the First Army, looked at the wooden boxes on the mule cart with curiosity, and it could be seen that this wooden box with a length of two meters was still brand new, and it must have just been made.

"It's a new gun?" Ji Feng couldn't help but step forward curiously and stroked the box.

He had heard about the new weapons for a long time, and there was no doubt that the power of these new weapons must be stronger than the flintlock pistols and Shenwu field cannons currently assembled by the Ying Long Army, and Ji Feng couldn't wait to know what the First Army under his command would look like after changing its outfit.

The new equipment was pulled into the barracks of the Ying Long army.

"Commander Ji, this batch of guns has been handed over to you, and the Firearms Bureau has arranged for a craftsman to follow you to teach you how to use the new guns and some precautions, can you immediately arrange for some Yinglong soldiers to come and test the guns!" The escort of these guns was a middle-aged man, and he said to Ji Feng with a smile.

As a new type of firing pistol and a 90-millimeter caliber cannon that directly use metal bullets and cannonballs, although the method of use is not complicated, in order not to cause any trouble, Zhu Ciji still ordered the Firearms Bureau to send a few craftsmen who know how to use it to come together.

Ji Feng nodded, and said to the soldiers on the side: "You immediately go and give the order, let the soldiers of the 100th Infantry Army and the soldiers of the 50th Artillery Battalion come here!" ”

Soon, one hundred infantry soldiers and fifty gunners of the Dragon Army were ordered to come here.

As one case after another was opened, brand new guns were taken out, one hundred guns, three cannons.

While assembling the cannons, a hundred new guns were issued to a hundred soldiers of the Ying Long Army.

"How do you use it?" Ji Feng also picked up one of the shots and asked curiously.

"Commander, wait a minute!" The middle-aged man smiled and shouted at the person behind him, "Bring up the bullets!" ”

A box of bullets was moved, the box was opened, and a yellow, orange bullet appeared, each bullet was like a work of art, it turned out to be made of copper!

Ji Feng and the others widened their eyes, this is the bullet used in the new gun, where is this bullet, it is simply a copper coin, it can be imagined, with so many bullets, how many copper coins have been smelted in the imperial court.

The reaction of Ji Feng and the others was expected by the middle-aged man, as a supervisor in the Firearms Bureau, he was also surprised when he knew that the bullets of the new gun needed to be made of copper.

After all, according to the copper that needs about three copper coins per bullet, counting gunpowder and craftsmanship, etc., the price of each bullet is not less than seven yuan, if it is calculated according to 10,000 soldiers, each soldier shoots ten bullets, it is 700,000 yuan, 120,000 Yinglong army, if all of them are dispatched, a battle, the cost of bullets alone will cost tens of millions of dollars, that is, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it is really a cannon fire gold ten thousand taels!

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, held his breath, picked up a bullet and loaded it as fast as he could.

Just two breaths of time.

"Bang!" A loud gunshot, thirty meters away, a wooden stake was pierced, and sawdust flew away!

"Hiss" Ji Feng opened his mouth wide in shock, this power was really much stronger than the flintlock pistol. At this distance, the flintlock pistol would never have been able to penetrate if it had hit the stake, but this new flintlock pistol did, at least twice as powerful as the flintlock pistol!

This is amazing, doesn't it mean that the range of this new firing pistol is at least twice that of a flintlock pistol!

"Value! It's worth it! Ji Feng shouted, with such power, this new type of shooting gun is worth it even if it is made of copper. And this loading speed is more than six times faster than the flintlock pistol, what does this mean, it means that in the future, the firepower of Ying Longjun will be more than six times that of the original.

These weapons are artifacts! Ji Feng no longer knew who else was the opponent of the Ying Long Army after being equipped with such a weapon!

After the other Ying Long soldiers had tried this new type of gun, Ji Feng couldn't wait to see the power of the new cannon.

The new cannon is undoubtedly just as impressive.

It was as if an oversized bullet had been stuffed into the back hall of the barrel at great speed, and a craftsman jerked the rope.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the hill thousands of meters away was blown apart.

Blown up rubble, dirt, dust and smoke enveloped it.

Ji Feng's eyes widened like copper bells, although he had prepared in advance, the power of this new cannon was still beyond his expectations, not to mention the same rate of fire with only a few breaths of extremely fast breathing, in terms of range and power, it was also more than twice that of the active Shenwu field artillery.

With this firing range, Ji Feng estimated that it was more than 3,000 meters, and the power was even greater, and the shells of the two Shenwu field cannons were not necessarily as powerful as the shells of this new cannon.

The eyes of the artillery door of the Yinglong Army Artillery Battalion are red, this kind of mass killing weapon will be the weapon of their artillery battalion, and it will not blow up the enemy on the battlefield in the future!

A total of 20,000 guns are guaranteed to ensure that all soldiers of the Ying Long Army have one gun, and 50 90 mm caliber field cannons are comparable to the power of the original hundreds of Shenwu field cannons, ensuring that the Ying Long Army will be invincible in the future.

After the First Army was all redressed, the middle-aged man returned to Nanjing City with the flintlock pistols and other old equipment that Ying Longjun had redressed.

Quanzhou, like the First Army, the Fourth Army here was also the first to receive new equipment.

The power of the new guns and cannons made Zheng Sen and Shen Jingchao, who were also in Quanzhou, blush.

"My lord, when will we equip our navy with a few of these new cannons?" Shen Jingchao said as he pulled a court official who came to transport the equipment. The man with a hungry and thirsty expression was extremely urgent, and he wanted his naval fleet to be equipped with such equipment, not to mention the new guns, at least the new cannons with a terrifying rate of fire and terrifying range.

Zheng Sen also looked at the official.

"The two admirals laughed, how can this kind of thing be decided by villains, it has to be the emperor's will!" The official smiled awkwardly, he was just a small five-grade petty official, only responsible for transportation, and couldn't manage this stubble at all.

Shen Jingchao and Zheng Sen also knew this, so they no longer embarrassed the official, but immediately wrote a note to Zhu Cijiao, hoping to achieve their wishes.

It's a pity that the Northern Expedition is imminent, and this batch of new equipment must be given priority to equip the Yinglong Army, and their wishes are undoubtedly disappointed, so they can only watch the Fourth Army in Quanzhou dangling in front of them every day!
