Chapter 150: Persuasion, Test the gun
Just when Chen Xian had a headache because of the trouble, in the Zhuangzi of Huo Jianan, in a large hall of Huo Mansion, a group of people were arguing about something.
A burly middle-aged man with big ears, a beard under his chin, and wearing a lake-green satin "staff suit" arched his hand at an elegant-looking middle-aged man sitting at the head of the guest seat, and said, "Bai Tuiguan, after you finish speaking, Yan Mansion Yin will give everyone the decision, everyone is naturally relieved, but Wanyan Mansion Yin is far away in Dongping Mansion, and Chen Xian is close to Yiyuan, this far water can't quench the thirst of the near, in case there is a bad pool, we will have a family ruined and people will die!" ”
More than a dozen people sitting in the hall were young, burly, or Sven, all dressed in silk and satin, and they seemed to be extraordinary.
Even the black-faced man sitting on the main seat opened his mouth and echoed: "That's right, what Chen Yuanwai said is right, Bai Tuiguan has empty words and white teeth, but he asked me to wait for death, how can this convince me?" ”
The person sitting at the head of the guest seat had a long beard, and seemed to be confident, he smiled and said slowly: "Huo Yuanwai and all the staff members are worried about this, it is also human nature, okay, I will reveal a little secret to you, so that you can rest assured, but this matter must not be leaked out, otherwise it will ruin the big thing of Lord Wanyan." ”
It turned out that this person was Bai Shijie, who had escaped from Yiyuan West Zhuangzi, Bai Tuiguan, and the middle-aged man with a black face and a calm bearing on the main seat was the owner of this place, Huo Yi Huo.
The more than ten people sitting in the hall are the most powerful landlords in Laiwu.
Huo Yi heard Bai Shijie say this, and said: "Bai Tuiguan rest assured, these people here are all the leading figures in Laiwu County, and naturally they all know the severity, that Chen Xian is an outsider, and Yang Yongwu and Li Gongliang around him are all local tyrants in the countryside, and they have nothing to do with Laiwu, so they have the ability to come to your side to inquire about the news." ”
Bai Shijie nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Huo Yi's words, and said: "You are worried that Yin Yuan of Wanyan Mansion will not be able to quench his thirst, it is completely redundant, you know, whose world is this world, naturally it is the world of my Dajin Kingdom, isn't this Laiwu the world of the Jin Kingdom?" ”
When all the members heard this, they all faintly showed a little impatience and even disdain, obviously not wanting to hear him talk nonsense.
Bai Shijie changed his words and said: "You won't forget the Meng'an Moke military village of those Jurchens in the central and western parts of Laiwu near Tai'an, right?" ”
When everyone heard this, they all showed a puzzled look, if it was a hundred years ago, when the Jin people just won the world, the heroes everywhere were naturally afraid of the Jin people set up in various places Meng'an Mouke military village like a tiger, but today, these scattered in various places Meng'an Mouke military village once brave Jin people have already been raised, not to mention compared to tigers, compared to fat pigs, I am afraid that they are inferior.
Of course, Bai Shijie understood what everyone was thinking, and he continued: "General Wanyan Pingtao has already hidden the five thousand new troops he newly trained in these military villages, and as long as Chen Xian dares to come out, there will be an army of the imperial court to meet him, you don't have to worry." ”
Seeing that everyone still had doubts on their faces, Bai Shijie said: "Bai knows what you are worried about, everyone is worried, but the musket cannon in Chen Xian's hand is just a musket cannon, I tell you, all Chen Xian's musket cannons are just stealing court secrets, and those things are also available in the imperial army." ”
"Don't you believe me? Please come with me. ”
Bai Shijie took all the members to the backyard of Huo Mansion, the backyard of Huo Mansion is a huge school field, and it is a place where Huo Yuanwai and the children of the Huo family practice martial arts.
There was a carriage parked on the edge of the backyard of Huofu, and behind the carriage was a strange-looking heavy cart with a rectangular wooden box on it.
This carriage came with Bai Shijie's official frame, and Bai Shijie specially asked Huo Yuanwai to arrange to park in this backyard, and even Huo Yuanwai didn't know what medicine Bai Shijie bought in the gourd.
Bai Shijie walked to the side of the carriage and instructed the general guarding the carriage: "Take that thing down and put two shots for you to see." ”
The family will turn around and climb into the carriage and take down a wooden box from it.
When he got out of the carriage, he placed the box on the ground and opened it, and inside was a thick cast-iron pipe, beside which lay a polished wooden stick, and at one end of the box lay a leather bag.
The master took out the cast iron pipe and the wooden stick, inserted one end of the wooden stick into the opening at one end of the cast iron pipe, and pressed the wooden stick on the ground a few times, and the wooden stick was firmly stuck in the cast iron pipe.
Next, the general took out the leather bag and poured some black powder into the opening at the other end of the cast iron pipe, and took out a thumb-sized lead pellet from the box and stuffed it into the cast iron pipe, and used an iron rod more than a foot long to stuff it into the cast iron pipe, and finally, he took out a paper roll like a cannon twist from the wooden box and stuffed it into a small hole in the side of the cast iron pipe.
When he had done all this, he took out a small stove and lit a charcoal fire in it, and he stuffed a piece of hemp rope into the stove and lit it, and then wrapped the lit rope around his arm.
When Chen Xian first sold the three-eyed gun, he also passed on the manufacturing technology of the fire rope, and the one that was wrapped around his arm was the processed fire rope.
After wrapping the fire rope, the family will put the wooden stick behind the cast iron pipe under his left armpit, take a few steps towards the school grounds, aim the cast iron pipe at a wooden target for archery not far away, and use the fire rope to ignite the cannon twist on the cast iron pipe......
At this time, Bai Shijie covered his ears with his hands and reminded the outsiders to cover their ears like him.
Seeing this, the outsiders seemed to understand something, some outsiders hurriedly covered their ears with Bai Shijie, but some outsiders, such as Huo Yuanwai and the square-faced and bearded outsider who was the first to question Bai Shijie, seemed to disdain to cover their ears.
A moment later, there was a loud bang, and with a flash of fire and white smoke, it seemed as if something was spewing out of the cast-iron pipe in his hand.
Although the gunfire was deafening, the outsiders were prepared, and after the baptism of Chen Xian's shelling, no one made a fool of themselves.
Bai Shijie and his family will take the outsiders to the wooden target more than a dozen steps away, and the outsiders all saw that the wooden target had a deep hole the size of a wine glass, and their faces showed excitement.
None of them noticed that the gun general secretly wiped his sweat, and was secretly glad that he didn't miss.
Compared with the three-eyed musket sold by Chen Xian, although the musket cannot start three consecutive shots, the barrel of this gun is longer, thicker, and the caliber is larger, and the power is much greater than that of the three-eyed musket, and it is not even worse than Chen Xian's lightweight arquebus.
Compared with the Mongols during the Ming Dynasty, the armor rate of the army during the Song Dynasty was undoubtedly much higher, so the soldiers of this era were more sensitive to the power of projection weapons.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty's insistence on rapid-fire three-eyed muskets, the soldiers of this era preferred this more powerful musket.
Wan Yan Pingtao, who supervised the creation of this weapon, was pleasantly surprised to find that when this weapon was facing armor, its power was even worse than that of the Divine Arm Bow!
Although the rate of fire of the god arm bow is faster than that of the fire door gun, the price of a god arm bow is as high as dozens of times, and the production cycle is measured in years, and this pig iron cast fire door gun only costs a few hundred yuan, and one or two days can be produced, and there is no requirement for the user's strength.
Such a weapon makes Wanyan Pingtao can't help but be happy!
Thinking that Chen Xian had a similar but better weapon in his hand, Wan Yan Pingtao felt that he couldn't let that person go no matter what.
