Chapter 64: The Arquebusier
Overnight, he killed eighteen people in the Song Mansion.
This is an era when personal life is like a mustard, and no one will feel that it is a sin to implicate a family member, and if one person does something wrong, the whole family should bear it.
So Huang Hu went to cut down Song Bin's entire family.
The sharp goose wing knife was still dripping with blood, Huang Hu held the knife in his hand, stood in front of Song Bin with his eyes, and said, "What other words do you have?" ”
"Let me live, I beg you, let me live..."Song Bin kept kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, his head was broken, but it didn't help.
Huang Hu took a few steps forward, squatted in front of Song Bin's eyes, stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, and sneered: "I, Huang Hu, originally fled from Liaozuo, and without that mother-in-law, I would have nothing." ”
"Grandpa is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, when he chose to be Ximenqing, you should know what happened to him."
With that, Huang Hu stood up and swung his knife over.
Out of the Song Mansion, Huang Hu wiped the blood stains off the knife, closed the door, and was dazed for a moment, then turned around and headed south.
In that direction, it is Nanyang.
......
In March, when everything recovered, the weather was still a little cool, but the outside of Nanyang City was already busy.
One after another, the kings rose from the ground, and together they came the displaced people of every family, most of whom were groups of families and families, and were placed here by the Nanyang Palace.
Changshi Fei Dengzheng has become much more honest since he was called by Zhu Yuhua that time, and he also understands the interdependence between himself and Zhu Youhua, the king of Nanyang.
Zhu Youhua is fine, and the Changshi Division does not have to take the blame, so now the Changshi Division in Fei Deng's hands has completely become a subsidiary of the Nanyang Palace.
Without the original monitoring effect, the Changshi Division is actually no different from the internal housing department of Nanyang Palace, and they are all doing things for Zhu Youhua.
But then again, these days of doing things for Zhu Youhua were the most fulfilling time since he became an official.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Long History Division, it was to supervise the palaces of various places for the imperial court, but now, the original supervision effect is gone, and all that remains is when there is a black pot and then take it out.
Now Fei Deng Zheng has a busy business every day.
For example, the resettlement of the displaced people in Wangzhuang from all over the place, and another example is to send people to investigate and secretly visit to see how many families the displaced people have, and whether they have found a few people to make up a household, and want to defraud the palace of the resettlement fees.
Cloud cloud such.
In addition to the Changshi Division, which is responsible for external affairs, Nanyang Yijian specializes in some construction projects, such as the site selection and construction of Wangzhuang, as well as the construction and repair of private houses, bridges, and official roads in Nanyang Mansion.
In addition, Zhu Youhua is most concerned about the issue of firearms, after all, if this thing is not done well, everything else will be in vain.
Today is the day when the first batch of Nanyang Wangfu's homemade bird guns were test-fired.
Outside the city, a wild boar was basking in the sun with its belly out in the clearing, unaware of the impending danger behind it.
"Bang!"
In an instant, a gunshot pierced the original silence.
When the gunshots fell, the wild boar ran away without any damage.
The bird that fired shook his head, and he didn't know what was wrong, when several soldiers who were inspecting the front came back and said that they had not hit this position at all.
In other words, this is not a problem of the birds, but of the birds.
When the lead bullet is fired at a distance of about sixty or seventy paces, it slowly loses its strength and falls, so it seems that the effective killing range is fifty paces, and the armor-piercing is even lower.
Luckily, the rogues didn't have a large amount of heavy armor, and the damage range of fifty steps was enough in a defensive battle.
"What's going on, you old craftsmen who came from the guard house still can't get a single arquebus?" Zhu Youhua was a little speechless.
Is it okay for us to have this kind of thing in the Ming Dynasty, one by one they still call themselves old craftsmen, such a thing can't be done, what's the use of this king raising you?
After waiting for so many days, I was going to come in handy when the thieves came, but now it's good, I can only continue to use the batch sent by Nanyang Wei last time.
Although the quality is not up to par, it can beat people.
Seeing that Zhu Youhua was angry, the craftsmen discussed a few words with each other, and finally Xu Shouhui came and said: "Lord Wang, this batch of bird guns can only hit a distance of about fifty steps, and if you want to hit a hundred steps away, this material can't do it." ”
"Don't talk about the materials first, can you hit it in fifty steps, you give me a letter!" Zhu Youhua asked.
Xu Shouhui nodded affirmatively, waved his hand, and then took fifty steps forward with his hand, and was about to put on the medicine and continue to launch, but found that the fire rope had been extinguished.
Zhu Youhua frowned and said: "This arquebus, is it extinguished so quickly, it only takes a few words." ”
"Lord Wang, if you don't want to consider the problem of the fire rope, you have to make a pistol, and now you can't find such a talent here in Nanyang." Xu Shouhui shook his head and said.
Zhu Youhua said: "Well, let's test shoot first, step by step." ”
I didn't understand the arquebus, and I went to get the flintlock pistol, isn't that a fool's dream!
The wild boar did not seem to be aware of the danger, and ran to other places to open its belly and continue to bask in the sun.
But this time, it was not so lucky, and with a bang, a spinning buckshot steadily landed on the belly of the wild boar Bai Huahua.
This time it didn't shoot the boar, but it made it go crazy and scurry around.
"It's okay, fifty steps can be used."
Looking at the wild boar lying on the ground with more air intake and less air out, Zhu Youhua nodded, this distance is the shortest distance that can be accepted.
"Nowadays, most of the bird guns used by the official army are shoddy, and it is common to blow up the bore, but the prince can rest assured, the batch of bird guns we are waiting to build is not far away, but the bore is very rare."
"In other words, there will still be a bore?" Zhu Youhua asked.
"That's right, we use coal to make iron, there is a lot of smoke and ash, and there are many impurities in the iron smelted, and it is inevitable to blow up the chamber."
Zhu Youhua said directly: "This king doesn't want to hear this, so you can say how to minimize the situation of the explosion!" ”
Xu Shouhui thought for a while and said: "Among the guards, there have long been a number of charcoal iron-making methods, which have few impurities, and the smelted iron will naturally not be blown up, but there are no mountains and forests in Nanyang or even Henan, and if you want to use this method to make iron, you also need to buy wood from other places." ”
"It's not a problem, from now on, no matter what you do, as long as you can make good firearms, you don't have to hide what you're afraid of, just say it!"
"Lord Wang, we really have something that needs the permission of Lord Wang." Hearing this, Xu Shouhui also said: "Even if you use charcoal to make iron, the gun pipe must also use good iron, this subway is not as good as Fujian iron, if you want to make a good shotgun, it is best to use Fujian iron." ”
"Why do you have to use Min Tie?" Zhu Youhua asked.
Xu Shouhui said respectfully: "Back to the prince, Fujian iron is of high quality, the most suitable for building a gun pipe, the firearms used by Grandpa Qi's Qi family army in the early years, the gun pipe is all made of Fujian iron, plus charcoal refining, it is difficult to have a bomb in a hundred shotguns." ”
"Really?"
"The villain doesn't dare to deceive the prince, the excellence of Fujian Iron is known throughout the country!"
"Then why don't my Ming firearms use a lot of Fujian iron?" Zhu Youhua asked.
"That's because the output of Fujian iron is low, and it is unrealistic to supply the whole country, and the Fujian iron of the imperial court in Jiajing is only used by the Qi family army every year."
Hearing this, Zhu Youhua nodded thoughtfully, and said: "This batch of shotguns will be sent to the whole camp first, as for the procurement, you will add it up, in addition to Fujian iron and wood, you also need other materials." “
"If necessary, they will all report to the Chief History Division, and after the Chief History Division confirms, they will be reported to this king to know."
Xu Shouhui was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, the villain will live up to his high expectations and make a superior shotgun!" ”
Zhu Youhua nodded.
"It's nothing, and it is beneficial to recruit craftsmen who are familiar with firearms skills, and you can also publicize this matter more."
"The villain understands."
