As soon as he was happy, Kong Tai suddenly remembered that it seemed that the advantages of the arquebus had not yet been fully demonstrated. So, he asked to show the arquebus's triple shot.

"What is a three-stage strike?" Shen Rui, the political envoy of Zuo Bu, asked suspiciously. Obviously, he is not clear.

But Liu Meng was excited:

"Could it be...... Could it be...... King Qianning's three-stage method? ”

"King Qianning?" Shen Rui didn't remember which prince was called King Qianning for a while. After all, the Mu family called Mu Ying the prince, and the descendant was the hereditary Marquis of Xiping.

"It's the ancestor of the Mu family......" Liu Meng said and pointed to the direction of Yunnan in the west, and Shen Rui suddenly realized.

Kong Tai has been explained by Marin, and naturally knows how to say what to make Daming happy:

"It was the three-stage attack invented by Prince Mu, Xiaoyaozi Daoist Yunyou Taixi, taught my lord to speak Chinese, helped my lord improve the fire gun, and by the way, he also taught my lord the three-stage method of King Qianning back then."

"Then try it!" Liu Meng couldn't wait to say.

In order to fully demonstrate the firepower, Comté arranged for 30 musketeers, lined up in three rows, to demonstrate three shots.

But before firing, these musketeers first placed a lot of repulsion horses in front of the formation......

"Well, your army is really well versed in the tactics of war, and knows how to put a horse in front of the battle." Liu Meng stroked his beard and nodded in praise.

"There are many cavalry in the land of Tessie, and there are cavalry in almost every state. And if you let the enemy's cavalry rush into the musketeers, they will surely be slaughtered. Therefore, the musketeers must take the lead in front of the formation. In addition, there will be spearmen on the flanks to cover. If the enemy infantry rushes up, the musketeers will retreat into formation and switch spearmen to fight the enemy......" Conté explained, following the hints in the book.

Not only that, but Conté also had 20 spears taken down from the ship, and the sailors stood on either side of the musketeers with long hairs in their hands, making a gesture of protection. Obviously, this is a demonstration of tactics for Daming.

However, the civil officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at the scene focused on the length of the spear:

"Oh, these ghosts have so long hair!" Some civil servants exclaimed.

Of course, these spears are about 4 meters long. Although it has been truncated from 6 meters to 4 mills, it is still much longer than Daming's spear. The length of the spears of the Ming Dynasty is generally about 2 meters, which is half shorter than these spears.

But at this time, Xu Yong, the commander of the Guangzhou avant-garde, said disdainfully:

"How can you move a spear so long? When encountering flexible opponents, there is definitely only one way to fail. ”

According to the requirements of Chinese martial arts, the length of the spear is generally the same as the total length of the user's right hand after standing. In this way, it is more suitable for the martial arts of the spear, which can be moved left and right, and is extremely flexible. If it's too long, it's inflexible. Xu Yong obviously understands martial arts, so he has some disdain for Beihai Kingdom's too long spear.

But Conté explains:

"General Xu, you are talking about a general who understands martial arts. In fact, the spears used in our country were the lowest level of infantry, and they were not skilled in martial arts. They don't need to be a man to make a big move, just to stab someone with a spear. ”

"What if the enemy dodges?" Xu Yong asked.

"So you see our spearmen, they're all next to each other. Countless spears stabbed forward together, and they couldn't dodge left and right at all. ”

"In addition, the spear is so long, in fact, it is to deal with the charge of the cavalry......"

"Against cavalry?" Liu Meng immediately came to the spirit. You must know that in the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian cavalry in the north of the Ming Dynasty has always been the number one henchman of the Ming Dynasty. Encounters in the field, in the face of the charge of the Mongol cavalry, the Ming army will be slaughtered seven times out of ten. If there is a method of restraint, it is definitely a blessing for the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, Lord Liu!" Kong Tai cleared his throat, and then quietly flipped through the treasure book given by Marin.

After a while, he introduced:

"If faced with a cavalry charge, the spearman could crouch, stick the back end of the spear into the earth, and move forward diagonally. If the enemy cavalry rushes hard, the spear of one foot and two feet long, even if it stands diagonally on the ground, and the cavalry on the opposite side rushes over, it must be loaded with spears first. Then the war horse was stabbed, and the enemy cavalry fell off their horses. The rest of our spearmen can stab the fallen enemy to death......"

Liu Meng gestured and found that if the spear was 4 meters long, it could really do this. Moreover, if the spear is stuck diagonally on the ground, even if the opposing cavalry collides, the force will be transmitted to the ground, and the infantry holding the spear will not be knocked away......

But Xu Yong, the commander of the Guangzhou avant-garde, interjected:

"However, the Mongol cavalry was good at mounted archery. They fired arrows from a long distance, how to crack it? ”

Kong Tai was not in a hurry, because it was stated in Marin's book:

"General Xu, have you forgotten our arquebuses? They have riding bows, we have arquebuses! If you don't believe me, look at its power......"

Then, with an order, the 30 arquebusiers, divided into three groups, began to perform a three-stage performance......

At this time, the 40-step target had not been withdrawn and was put back in place. The shooters who performed the three-stage shot began to line up to shoot......

"Bang-bang-bang-" The 10 musketeers in the first platoon took aim and at the commander's order, they all poured their bullets down on the target in front of them......

Then, the first row of musketeers sideways back from the 1-meter-wide interval to the end. The second row of musketeers was at the front, and when they were in position, most of the smoke from the first row of musketeers had cleared, and they could see roughly ahead. Then the commander gave the order to open fire loudly, and the musketeers in the second platoon also pulled the trigger one after another, driving the fire rope into the medicine pool, which activated the musket......

Just as the second platoon stepped forward to shoot, the musketeers of the first platoon had already reached the rear and began to reload their ammunition. When the second row retreated, they were still loading. But when the third platoon stepped forward and finished firing and retreated, the musketeers in the first platoon were roughly loaded. After a few breaths, the first platoon was finally loaded, went to the front, raised the arquebus, and began a new round of firing under the orders of the officer......

In this way, the three rows of musketeers carried out relatively coherent and smooth three-stage shots, which dazzled the Ming officials and soldiers present.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of the three-stage attack invented by King Qianning, it is extremely sharp!" Liu Meng praised sincerely. Yes, all the credit goes to Muying, the king of Qianning in the Ming Dynasty......

"King Qianning is sharp!" The Ming civil officials present also praised. They will not praise Fanbang, but they will praise the famous generals of this dynasty. And in Guangdong, when you praise a person for being good, you will say, "So sharp!" Even foreign officials such as Liu Meng were affected......

But at this time, Li Sanshui, a hundred households in charge of the fire gun team of the entire Thousand Households, was puzzled:

"Master Kong, I think your military ammunition only needs 30 breaths, while our army's ammunition is shorter, but it needs more than 60 breaths, why? You know, putting the buckshot into the gun tube is very troublesome and takes a lot of work......"

As a professional, Li Sanshui found that these musketeers from the Beihai Kingdom seemed to have an easy time loading lead bullets into the barrel. With such ease, Li Sanshui suspected that these lead bullets were smaller than the inner diameter of the barrel. However, in that case, won't there be air leaks, which will affect the range...... However, the range of these Beihai country's firearms is obviously so far......

Liu Meng heard the question of professional Li Sanshui, and also looked at it with concern.

Kong Tai listened to Li Sanshui's question and stretched out his hand to beckon. So, an idle musketeer came over with an arquebus. Conté, as a result of the arquebus, motioned for the musketeers to bring the ammunition......

After pouring in gunpowder and ramming it with a strip, he took out lead bullet from his purse......

"Li Baihu, please take a good look!"

Li Sanshui and Liu Meng both stared, but saw that Kong Tai took out a small piece of paper. The paper was shiny and looked like oiled paper......

Conté then wrapped a piece of oiled paper around a lead bullet with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the barrel, placed it in the muzzle, and then pressed it easily to the end with a strip.

After that, Conté explained:

"Li Baihu, the lead bullet is in the barrel, and the best chance is not to hold your breath. Otherwise, the firing range is affected. Therefore, ten years ago, my lord invented the method of wrapping a slightly smaller buckshot in oiled paper or deerskin and pressing it into the barrel of a gun. ”

"This makes it much easier to put lead bullets into the barrel. You see, did I just press the buckshot to the bottom in one go? If you want to press a lead bullet with the inner diameter of the barrel to the bottom, it is very difficult, and you have to use a hammer to press the whole strip to hit it hard, which is very time-consuming. The method of wrapping oil paper or deerskin can save dozens of interest time and greatly speed up the filling speed! ”

"It is precisely because of this powerful invention of my lord that the combat power of our musketeers has increased greatly. Ten years ago, my lord's territory was less than the size of a county. And now, my lord's territory is big enough to be half a Hu Jian! Kong Tai said proudly.

"Ahh Liu Meng was shocked. He had participated in politics in Hu Jian, and knew that Hu Jian had a total of 69 counties in 10 prefectures and 2 prefectures. Half of Hu Jian's size, isn't it as big as more than 30 counties?

You know, the fiefdoms of those princes of the Ming Dynasty are not that big. It seems that this Beihai country is still strong......

"Yes, our country is now divided into eight departments: East Friesland, West Friesland, Oldenburg, Bremen, Schleswig, Jutland, North Münster and South Münster. Of course, China's province is definitely far less big than the province of Daming, and the sum of the eight provinces is only half the size of Hu Jian......"

"It's already huge!" Liu Meng knew very well that this area was more than ten times larger than the Ryukyu Islands, a subject country of the Ming Dynasty. He had also mixed in Hu Jian at the beginning, and the place of the Ryukyu tributary trade was in Fuzhou, and Liu Meng had dealt with the Ryukyuan people for this reason and knew the situation there. The Ryukyu Kingdom was crowned king by the imperial court, and the area of the Beihai Kingdom was larger than the fiefdoms of the princes of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang divided the feudal king's territory with the exception. Zhu Yuanzhang was very generous in dividing his son, and the land area he gave was very large. For example, the kings of Qin, Jin, Qing, and Su. And the later princes, the territory is much smaller and hungry, and generally there is only one land or one state. Like Marin's territory, the area is almost as large as 5 prefectures, far exceeding the territory of the Ming Dynasty after the Zhu Yuanzhang period.

"In this way, this kind of firearm and its tactics are very powerful!" Shen Rui exclaimed.

"My lord is willing to dedicate these to the Ming court, become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and wish the Ming Dynasty more prosperous!"

"Good!"

"Great goodness!"
