For the sake of you, give me a glass of wine, and give me a good time. ”

Wang Er closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, and looked up at Wang Zezhi fiercely.

"Someone, bring wine."

Wang Zezhi ordered someone to bring a jar of wine, and Wang Er took it and drank it happily.

"Happy, hahaha... Kaishan knife, you and I are the same kind of people, but it's a pity, you actually became a dog officer and soldier, today I am planted in your hands, I am not as good as a person, I have nothing to say.

However, I don't want to be locked in a cage and be a monkey. ”

Wang Er smashed the wine jar after drinking, closed his eyes and neck, and waited for Wang Zezhi to kill him.

Wang Er didn't want to be escorted back to Beijing, and he didn't want to be thrown stones and rotten vegetable leaves by the people along the way.

To say that this Wang Er is indeed a character, Wang Zezhi doesn't want to humiliate him.

He waved his hand, and Luo Cong pierced him in the chest with a shot, and the front and back were transparent.

Wang Er was not dead for a while, he held the barrel of the gun that pierced into his chest, and smiled miserably.

"Am I wrong?"

After saying this, Wang Er's hands gradually drooped.

When Wang Zezhi heard this, he couldn't help but ask himself, did Wang Er do something wrong?

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, natural and man-made disasters continued to occur, and class contradictions became increasingly acute.

In the face of the threat of Huang Taiji outside the border and the famine in the interior, the Ming court was forced to reform the post station in order to save 100 branches and streamline the organization.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant uprising first broke out in northern Shaanxi, where the land was barren, the production was backward, the taxes and forced labor were serious, and there were disasters and famines for many years.

The desperate people had no choice but to shout, it is better to starve to death than to die of thieves!

Then they started to make a living.

Is Wang Er wrong?

Wang Er is not wrong, he just wants to live.

It's just that with the development of time, they came up with the idea of ruling the people after mastering the ranks of the hungry.

This kind of thinking has led them astray.

Wang Zezhi ordered someone to clean up Wang Er's body, put him in a coffin, and send him to Jingshi.

After dealing with Wang Er's affairs, Wang Zezhi summoned Ma Huai to inquire about the situation here.

The guerrilla battalion is Wang Zezhi's arsenal, and there is not much else here, but there are many weapons.

With these advanced weapons and equipment, the craftsmen in the guerrilla battalion fought a beautiful battle to defend the city.

With the exception of a dozen frightened artisans who were killed in a panic at first, the guerrilla battalion suffered no major casualties.

"My lord, in this battle, Zhao Can's technology has made a great contribution." After Ma Huai finished the report, he mentioned it in a timely manner.

"Oh? Then I'm going to take a look, call Zhao Can and show me. Wang Zezhi immediately became interested when he heard this, and he attached great importance to the development of weapon technology.

"Lao Zhao, come on." Ma Huai beckoned to Zhao Can, who was busy on the side.

Seeing this, Zhao Can handed over the work in his hand to the other craftsmen and trotted over.

"I heard that you have developed new technology and made a contribution, take me to see it."

"Yes."

For Wang Zezhi, Zhao Can admired him more and more, and this admiration came from the heart.

He bowed respectfully and took Wang Zezhi to the new cannon.

Wang Zezhi's eyes lit up when he saw the cannon made by Zhao Can.

This cannon already has the prototype of a modern artillery, it has a base, a fixed bracket, a high and low left and right direction machine, a sight, a shield.

There are also wooden wheels under the base of this cannon, which means that this cannon can be moved freely.

"Yes, yes, Zhao Can, these things you developed will be equipped in batches in the future, did Ma Huai hear it?"

"My subordinates heard it." Ma Huai replied respectfully.

"Reward Zhao Can with twenty taels of silver, to encourage, you have to make persistent efforts for this kind of technology, well, this is good, from now on, you will be the deputy director of the Foundry Bureau."

Ma Huai is in charge of the core technology of casting, and you focus on the expansion technology of various equipment. ”

Ma Huai and Zhao Can have their own strengths.

Ma Huai's technology and experience in casting barrels and barrels are much higher than those of Zhao Can.

Zhao Can's technology in research and development is much higher than that of Ma Huai.

The two of them work together to complement each other, and they are sure to forge weapons that transcend the ages.

"Thanks... Mr. Xie. ”

Zhao Can was so excited, originally after he lost to Ma Huai, he was canceled from his position and identity, and now he has regained it, it is impossible to say that he is not excited.

After Wang Zezhi appointed Zhao Can, he continued to check it out.

Zhao Can has done a lot of research, and he has expanded the variety of flowering bombs.

There are shotguns, poison fog bombs.

In addition to this, he also studied the Thunderbolt.

Originally, Wang Zezhi was not interested in this kind of weapon.

When he saw the drawings drawn by Zhao Can, he immediately changed his mind.

Zhao Can's concept art was inspired by the Franco's cannon.

He designed the Thunderbolt and the filling tray for the Thunderbolt.

In this way, it is equivalent to the Thunderbolt being able to shoot multiple times.

In Zhao Can's design, the Thunderbolt can be loaded with ammunition first.

When you're done shooting, push the guns in the tray and put in a new arquebus.

"Is there a physical object?" Wang Zezhi asked.

"Yes, I've only shot once, and it's not in mass production yet." Zhao Can replied cautiously.

"Let's go, let's see."

When Wang Zezhi saw the real thing cast by Zhao Can, bruises began to appear on his forehead.

Where is this Thunderbolt, this is clearly an improved version of the multi-barreled Furlong cannon.

"Zhao Can, you haven't learned home."

After Wang Zezhi saw it, he didn't even directly criticize his interest in test shooting.

"Big... My lord, what do you think? ”

"First of all, this thing can be done without a pistol, you can change it to a multi-barreled flintlock pistol, such as an eighteen-barreled pistol or something."

"My lord, I know what a flintlock pistol is?"

"You don't know this, it seems that the two craftsmen who bought them are not honest, Ma Huai asked someone to find the two of them, I want to ask, I spent money to buy them back with good food and drink, why don't they care."

After Wang Zezhi found out that neither Zhao Can nor Ma Huai had heard of the flintlock pistol, he was furious immediately.

The flintlock pistol, invented by Mahan, a Frenchman born in 1547 (mid-16th century) in a family of gunsmiths, locksmiths and watchmakers, was improved on the basis of the revolving musket, the clockwork wheel was removed, a piece of flint was clamped on the jaws of the hammer, and an anvil was provided on the side of the fire hole.

The firing process is greatly simplified, the firing rate and shooting accuracy are improved, it is easy to use, and the cost is low, which facilitates mass production.

Mahan invented the flintlock pistol between 1610 and 1615 and soon became famous in Europe.

He did not believe that the Portuguese did not know about this technique.

After the two bought craftsmen were summoned, Wang Zezhi angrily reprimanded them, offering them good food and drink, why didn't they do not teach knowledge.

When the two craftsmen heard this, they trembled and immediately knelt on the ground in fright.

They don't know what they did wrong, they just admit it.

When Wang Zezhi asked them why they didn't teach the knowledge of flintlock pistols, the two understood why Wang Zezhi was angry.

One of them explained in a whisper after knowing the reason for the incident.

It turned out that on May 14, 1610, Henry IV was on his way to visit his minister Sully in a carriage when he was stabbed with a knife.

With the death of Henry IV, the process of equipping the troops with flintlock pistols stalled.

Many French generals objected to the arming of flintlock pistols on the grounds that "the sparks from the flint were not enough to ignite black powder." ”

As a result, flintlock pistol techniques and theoretical knowledge were not widely disseminated.

The two of them had only heard the name of the flintlock pistol.
