The bright sun shone on the earth, and in the field after the harvest, a black field gun was particularly eye-catching, the gun body was dark, with a faint metallic luster, and on the wood-colored gun carriage, the iron-colored parts were also particularly eye-catching. Next to the cannon was a wooden box, and inside the wooden box were iron bullets, and a cast seam could be seen in the round iron bullets.

As for the single-track gun carriage, the swarthy Hongyi cannon also looks a little rough, and the iron cannon has the inscription of Shunzhi ten years written on it, and most of these cannons removed from Jiangyin City were cast in the Shunzhi period.

Different from the imagination in history, the Qing army attached great importance to firearms after entering the customs, after entering the customs, only in the Beijing division cast thousands of guns, and in the north and south of the river casting cannons are no less than thousands, such as Changzhou such a capital city is located, all kinds of Hongyi artillery is no less than dozens, if it is not drawn to strengthen the defense of Nanjing, it is estimated that at least dozens of cannons can be captured in Changzhou this time, but now there are only 12 "small cannons" in total.

Although these artillery pieces are not large, for Zhu Mingzhong, they are the most important long-range strike force under his command. However, although the monorail gun carriage that was only invented in the 19th century was very advanced, Zhu Mingzhong was suddenly disappointed when he carefully observed the artillery.

The barrels of these cannons are very rough, not only the surface of the cannon body is covered with trachoma, but even the chamber of the cannon is also full of trachoma, at least for a moment, if it weren't for the fact that they said that this cannon had already fired hundreds of cannons, it is estimated that Zhu Mingzhong would have thought about throwing this cannon into the iron-making furnace and turning it into molten iron.

"When I turn back, I don't have to do anything, and I have to build a cannon foundry first......

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhu Mingzhong looked at the iron bullet again, the kind of round cast iron cannonball, which was even rounder than the iron bullet he saw in the museum, but the casting seam on it was not polished, but this kind of white cast iron could not be grinded.

"Perhaps, consider the malleable annealing process to deal with ......"

As an engineering student in the 21st century, although professional knowledge has been lost for several years, Zhu Mingzhong can be regarded as "excellent in character and learning", and naturally remembers those professional knowledge...... Thinking like this in their hearts, Zhang Shijie and the others over there had already seen Zhu Mingzhong, and when they were about to kneel, they thought of the rules in the army and hurriedly changed the military salute. He clenched his right hand into a fist and slapped it on his chest, then raised his right hand flat.

"I've seen the general!"

Although he borrowed from the ancient Roman military salute in the military salute, Zhu Mingzhong still retains this title full of the atmosphere of the times in the title, the reason is simple, this identity is different, they call the small flag chief, the sentry chief and the shed chief in the army, and the "general" naturally becomes Zhu Mingzhong's title in the army.

"Excuse me!"

Knowing that Zhang Shijie, a gunner, was one of the few gunners in the army, Zhu Mingzhong smiled at him and said.

"You're a gunner?"

"Back to the adult's words, the two generations of the young grandfather were gunners in the army, and when they reached the younger generation, they were lazy to eat and do it all the time, although they lost a lot of skills, but they still knew a little bit about it! Now the adults have to reward the team, and the villain is promoted to the head of the artillery battalion, and the villain should be broken to pieces, and repay the general's great kindness. ”

Do you really know a thing or two?

Zhang Shijie's sycophant came into Zhu Mingzhong's ears, so he couldn't help but look at this young man, he didn't care if he was insincere, the key was that he would "shoot", such a "technical talent" is rare, and more importantly, the other party is a smart person, that is, he did not mention whether he would shoot in his words, which means that he is a smart person.

"Broken bones? No! ”

Looking at the cannon that still looks extremely small after installing a Western-style gun mount, it is all an extremely inconspicuous appearance, but Zhu Mingzhong knows that this 5-pound iron cannon, after installing the new gun mount, its biggest advantage is that it is light and fast, and although the firing range is slightly weak, as long as it is used well, it will definitely become a weapon in his hands to defeat the enemy.

Of course, the biggest regret now is that the ammunition is too single - only solid ammunition, and there are also shotguns in paper barrels.

"If you practice this artillery technique well, it will be the best reward for Zhu!"

Zhu Mingzhong doesn't care about whether they are kind or not, as long as they feel that they are gracious and willing to remember this kindness, it is enough, as for whether to repay it or not...... Well, I will find a way to let them repay it, after all, this coercion is of course a retribution.

"Yes, sir!"

Then Zhang Shijie immediately led the gunner to operate, when he began to operate the cannon, Zhu Mingzhong only discovered the method of the Chinese gunner in this era, Zhang Shijie did not know where to take out a bamboo tube, directly with the wooden basin full of gunpowder filled with gunpowder, with a bamboo ruler to dozen, and then carried the bamboo tube into the muzzle......

Is this their outfit?

Puzzled, Zhu Mingzhong asked casually.

"Zhang Yingmu, how much is the medicine for this cannon?"

The general's question made Zhang Shijie's brows jump slightly, his face was a little embarrassed, and he seemed to be a little hesitant, and at this moment, Gao Jiming, who knew the rules of the gunner, reminded softly.

"General, when fighting from Denglai, this artillery work is to pass on the father to the son, the master to the apprentice, this medicine is used for a few catties and taels, it is a secret that is not passed on, the general asks this, it is a taboo, and the cannon is guilty, and the cannon will not be accurate at that time......"

What the?

Father to son, master to apprentice? Pao Jun......

Zhu Mingzhong even couldn't believe it, this, what the hell is this?

In the past, he had only heard that the craftsmanship of craftsmen was passed down in this way, but as far as he knew, the artillery skills of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties were learned from Westerners.

"General, this artillery method wants to be passed on, there have been rules in ancient times, villains don't dare to talk nonsense, please forgive the general......"

With the exculpation of the commander on the side, Zhang Shijie naturally had some confidence, and his words came into his ears, only to make Zhu Mingzhong's brows suddenly lock, staring at the gunner who was busy with life, and there was only one thought in his heart.

What the hell is this......

Looking at the four of them again and the speed of the charge, and the speed of pushing the bomb, Zhu Mingzhong's brows became tighter and tighter, and this speed was inevitably too slow.

When the smile on his face gradually disappeared, Zhu Mingzhong saw Zhang Shijie turn around and said respectfully.

"The little one is going to try it! Please take a hundred steps back for the adults, and the little ones will follow! ”

After waiting for more than thirty seconds, with a loud bang, the gun carriage slammed back, and a cloud of smoke and smoke gushed out from the muzzle......

Although in that cannon flame, three hundred meters in front of him, dozens of wooden planks were instantly hit with thousands of holes, but Zhu Mingzhong's brows became tighter and tighter, and there was only one thought left in his heart.

Pao Jun...... What the hell is this?
