Not only Zhao Shizhen stood up, but Qi Jiguang also stood up. They were all staring at what was in Shi Yiwen's hand, and they were all too familiar with that thing.

Fire Scythe.

But any ordinary family, who does not have a fire sickle at home. After all, this is a thing for cooking, and for those in the army, it is necessary to carry it with you in case of emergency.

Everyone is familiar with it, but ...... Shi Yiwen is not familiar with it. He wouldn't even use it, but that didn't prevent him from using the fire sickle to explain it to Qi Jiguang.

With this physical object, there is no need to explain, Qi Jiguang knows Shi Yiwen's thoughts.

"Zhiyuan is trying to use flint to start a fire?"

Without waiting for Qi Jiguang to ask, Zhao Shizhen hurriedly asked, and then puzzled.

"No, how can this flint start a fire? Unless you can make this flint move......"

Seeing Zhao Shizhen, who was frowning and thinking, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"What Shiji said is extremely true, as long as this flint is moved, it can naturally be ignited."

Sometimes just talking about it may not be able to explain it clearly, and it has to be a physical object. Looking at the bird on the chair over there, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"I wonder if I can borrow Shiji's gun to use it?"

It's definitely too late to build a flintlock pistol, but with a ready-made gun, the rest is much easier.

Under the pretext of going back to the house to draw drawings, he first entered the space and found the pattern of the flintlock flintlock machine in the library, and then found a palm-sized spring steel sheet, and then returned to the study again, but it only took a while for Shi Yiwen to draw the drawings of the flintlock machine with a pencil, after all, it was just a device with a dozen simple parts.

As a former imperial village, Shitaizhuang has advantages that are difficult to reach in ordinary villages - there are various craftsmen who make and repair farm tools, and naturally there are also blacksmiths.

"The old slave has seen the young master,"

Xu Tieshan saw that the young master was leading the guests to come, and when he was still half a zhang away, he hurriedly saluted, he was a slave in the village, and he was also a hand-me-down craftsman, and he had a very good handicraft.

"Old Xutou, don't be so polite, I want to ask you to help me type, what, that's it."

Handing the pattern to Xu Tieshan, Shi Yiwen asked.

"How's that, can you type it?"

Looking at the things on the pattern, Xu Tieshan pondered for a while, then nodded and said.

"Look at what the young master said, it's not a complicated thing. Is the young master in a hurry? ”

"Okay, how long will it take at the earliest?"

"If I work with the iron pillar and the iron bolt, it will take two hours at most."

Two hours, that is, four hours, Qi Jiguang is naturally willing to wait, let alone two hours, even two days, he is willing to wait, after all, the things to be done in the capital have been done.

While waiting for Xu Tieshan to make the flint machine, Shi Yiwen was not idle, but discussed with Qi Jiguang how to train the army, after all, in many opinions in later generations, it is said that the Qi family army is almost a modern army.

Regarding Shi Yiwen's inquiry, Qi Jiguang also knew everything and said everything. From strict and even brutal military law to how to boost morale. And, of course, how he commanded the battle. Report the enemy every other hour from the scouts. The map in the army is also drawn in red and black, so that it can be seen at a glance. Shape the terrain sand table out of clay......

All this made Shi Yiwen's gaze at Qi Jiguang also changed, although sometimes Li Zide and Zhang Peng, who were with him, occasionally added, but in him Shi Yiwen seemed to see the shadow of a modern military general.

Although he does not agree with cruel military laws such as cutting off ears at every turn, Shi Yiwen also agrees with the importance of military law, after all, strict military law is one of the main differences between modern and ancient armies, and of course, there are differences such as logistics.

But more often, Shi Yiwen is also an audience, after all, in front of a famous general like Qi Jiguang, talking too much is just an axe.

After chatting like this for more than an hour, after Xu Tieshan sent the flintlock machine over, Shi Yiwen led them to Carpenter Chen's and instructed him to make the butt out of hardwood.

Looking at the butt of the gun, which was completely different from the bird's gun, Qi Jiguang's eyes suddenly lit up,

"Zhiyuan's gun bed, oh, the butt, seems to have a lot of articles."

"Qi Shuai has good eyesight."

Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"The bed of the bird gun can only be held, and it is more susceptible to recoil when shooting, and this butt can be pressed against the shoulder, so that it is more stable to hold, and it also has the advantage that after loading the bayonet, it can be turned into a gun, so I call it a "flintlock pistol". ”

"Turn guns into guns!"

In Qi Jiguang's surprise, Shi Yiwen pointed to the front sight at the top of the barrel that was already on the fixed butt, and then said.

"It is to make a bayonet, about two feet long, which is attached to the scabbard and hung on the waist when not in use, and can be rotated and fixed on the head of the gun when used, so that the assassination and shooting can be done at the same time, so that even if the enemy is close, the soldier can also assassinate with a gun. However, the butts should be made of fine hardwoods, preferably walnut and birch. ”

Shi Yiwen's explanation made Qi Jiguang and the others all shine, and Zhang Pengju, who was full of beard, was even more excited.

"Oh, Shi Tongzhi, your move is decisive, the reason why you can't use all the bird guns in this army is because the guns are useless in close proximity, you have to have spearmen, swords and shields to protect them, this has bayonets, don't you no longer need people to protect them, turn guns into guns, good things, good things, how can you come up with such good things? ……”

In addition to the praise, Zhang Pengju's gaze at Shi Yiwen also changed, in his opinion, Shi Tongzhi, who was not yet a weak crown in front of him, was definitely a person with real skills.

Not to mention Zhang Pengju, even Qi Jiguang's gaze when he looked at Shi Yiwen also changed, especially when he saw the "spear" that was almost 5 feet long, his expression even seemed a little excited. Compared with them, Li Zide on the side said lightly.

"Shi Tong knows good ideas, but I'm afraid this bayonet is not easy to make, and it is not wrong to assassinate and shoot, I'm afraid it will not be easy to do."

"What's so bad about this is nothing more than a tube-sleeved bayonet, the handle of the bayonet is made into a tube, and it is sleeved on the outside of the barrel, so that the bayonet can shoot at the same time. You see, like this one...... Bamboo pipe ......"

From the ground on the side, he picked up a piece of bamboo pipe and gestured.

"There is a gap in the mouth here, and there is an iron ring that can be rotated here, after loading it, rotate it to jam the notch crosshair, and then rotate the iron ring to block the movement of the pipe sleeve, so that it will be fixed?"

After that, Shi Yiwen looked at Li Zide and smiled.

"General Li, isn't this thing very simple?"
