A few days later, Da Niu overfulfilled the task assigned by Qin Yiming, the original arsenal of the Hu family was completely moved by Da Niu, and all the original craftsmen and technicians of the Hu family arsenal, including more than 20 people including Hu Steward, were also invited to Pingli Fort, at first the craftsmen were unwilling, saying that the invitation was a little inaccurate, it should be forced to come, but after coming, Qin Yiming gave them the field, these craftsmen were all happy, with the field, their families do not have to worry about livelihood, I heard that in Pingli FortAs long as they work hard, there are usually various rewards, and craftsmen like them who are not able to participate in farm work will be given additional rations.

The arsenal is still in its infancy, and it is just that the original blacksmith shop has become a larger blacksmith workshop, but now Qin Yiming is more interested in these more than 100 bird guns, that is, arquebuses.

Qin Yiming picked up an arquebus, filled it according to Yang Baihu's instructions, stuffed the projectile, and then stabbed it a few times with an iron rod, tamped it, put some ** in the medicine pot, and then lit the arquebus, aimed at the bullseye a hundred steps away, and shot.

bang

The fire rope ignited the ** in the medicine pot, the ** in the medicine pot ignited the ** in the barrel, the dazzling fire was accompanied by a huge explosion, such a close distance, Qin Yiming felt that this thing was really dangerous, and he was a little afraid in his heart, in case this thing fryed, the person with the gun would probably be scrapped.

"It's too troublesome, or is the bow and arrow good, did I hit the bull's-eye?" Qin Yiming asked loudly.

The little monkey ran to the target and looked for it for a long time, and said, "Young master, I can't find a bullet hole!" ”

I'm going, I'm actually off target, it's too embarrassing! Qin Yiming said embarrassedly to Yang Baihu beside him: "Master, it's a shame for your old man!" ”

Yang Baihu's face was indifferent, as if he didn't know this waste apprentice at all.

Qin Yiming took another fifty steps, there should be no problem with this distance.

Qin Yiming followed the essentials of Professor Yang Baihu just now, came again, and practiced ten shots in one go.

"Look, how many hits?" Qin Yiming asked loudly.

The little monkey checked the target again, and then replied mercilessly: "A handful!" Qin Yiming collapsed directly, his sharpshooter didn't work today, generally speaking, within a hundred steps, he could basically hit a hundred shots, but this musket, he couldn't hit it in fifty steps.

"Young Master, this bird gun is too chicken, not only is the shooting speed surprisingly slow, but even the young master you can't hit the target, so how do the soldiers hit! If you run into cavalry, I guess this bird can only send out one shot, and then the cavalry can rush to it, this rotten thing doesn't have it, it's better to bow and arrow! "The little monkey published his own opinion, and his words are very pertinent, these flaws of the arquebus are too intuitive.

"They have their own advantages and disadvantages, the bird gun must be shot, Qi Shaobao has a special discussion and training method for the bird gun in the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Actual Record of Military Training"!" Yang Baihu said on the side.

"Yang Baihu, you seem to like reading military books very much!" Qin Yiming smiled and flattered, and the little monkey also nodded violently, but Yang Baihu turned a blind eye.

"General Qi is a rare military genius in my Ming Dynasty, martial arts, not only killed the Japanese people everywhere, and never dared to offend my Ming Dynasty, but also in the north for 18 years, the Tatars did not dare to peep south, what a merit, what an achievement, I personally also admire General Qi's personality, the husband should be like General Qi!" Yang Baihu's face was full of envy and admiration, but he found that Qin Yiming was gone, and after looking around, Qin Yiming actually ran to the target, looking left and right around the target like a monkey, as if he was looking for something.

Of course, Qin Yiming knew that the mandarin duck formation was powerful, but in the battle of Salhu in Liaodong, the Qi family's army was defeated like a big defeat, but it was the white pole soldiers who shined and almost changed history!

The next day, after the morning exercise, Qin Yiming made up a team of 100 people, these are his bird guns, Qin Yiming is very excited, now he also has firearms, although it is very rubbish, but the difference between having and not is very big, just like living in the later life, there is no big difference between driving a million-dollar luxury car and driving a Jetta, but the difference between having a car and not having a car is big.

Bird guns are different from bows and arrows, they don't need talent, they just need to remember the steps, whether this thing can hit or not is completely up to God to decide, and all Qin Yiming doesn't pick people, as long as they can master the steps of shooting skillfully, and then shoot according to the order.

The soldiers who were selected were very excited at first, but after the first shot, many people didn't dare to fire the second shot, this is so scary, such a big tongue of fire in front of the bridge of the nose, there is smoke, the nose and eyes can't stand it, who of these novices can not be afraid, if this is fried, it is quite dangerous.

Seeing this situation, Qin Yiming was also very helpless, they needed to adapt, although the defects of the bird gun are very obvious, and it is indeed like a chicken rib at the current level, but after all, this is the trend of the times, the direction of historical development, and it must not be given up, there is almost no place where the bow and arrow can be improved, but this bird gun is different, and the potential for improvement is unlimited.

"You all listen to me, who can get familiar with and master the bird gun as soon as possible, Lao Tzu has a lot of rewards, but those wastes who don't dare to shoot, little monkeys, when the time comes, kick them out directly, give him a tael of silver to let him and his family get out!" Qin Yiming said seriously.

When everyone heard that Qin Yiming was so serious and the punishment was so severe, they didn't dare to say anything, who of them was willing to leave the guard, now the guards treat them so well, they divided the fields, and let their families not worry about food and clothing, they would rather die for the guards than be driven out, and they can only starve to death on the roadside like most of the homeless people, although they may also die in the guard, but the families who died in the war can be taken care of by thousands of households, which is why the soldiers of the guards are not afraid of death when they fight.

"Train hard, Yang Baihu will be strict with you in the future, and when you are trained and have mastered the shooting skills, I will organize you into a battalion independently, and you are my firearms battalion!" Qin Yiming said loudly, while looking forward to his plan, in the future, his firearms will develop to a certain extent, and he will definitely be able to sweep the Ming Dynasty, and even the world, because he is a prophet and does not understand technology, but he knows the direction of development.

The hundred people below whispered.

"Yang Baihu, you don't need to give our province ammunition for training, you have to train me in real combat every day, help me train this gang of waste as soon as possible, you must be strict with them, don't be negligent and slack, otherwise you will be asked!" Qin Yiming said sternly, on occasions when there are outsiders, Qin Yiming has the face of a chief in front of Yang Baihu, but he doesn't dare to be so presumptuous in private, Yang Baihu understands in his heart.

"Yes, Senho-sama!"

Speaking of the slow shooting speed of this bird, there have been improvement plans for this in ancient and modern times, such as Qi Jiguang's three-stage shooting, allowing soldiers to stand in three rows, and shooting in rotation, as well as some foreign improvement programs, such as fixed ammunition, using flint and steel to change to firing flintlock pistols, which is also an improvement, but the improvement space is limited, if he can produce a Mini rifle and bring the entire war into the trench era, it will be completely different, but now he can't do it.

Three-stage shooting is definitely a good plan, he can make up for a big shortcoming, Qin Yiming watched Yang Baihu's demonstration of three-stage shooting, it can indeed greatly make up for the problem of inaccurate shooting accuracy and slow shooting speed, looking at those bullseyes that were hit, although no one knows who hit it, it doesn't matter, the key is to hit.

Qin Yiming experimented with fixed ammunition again, to be honest, Qin Yiming was not prepared to improve it like this, because the improvement speed of individual soldiers was really limited, and it was very troublesome.

Changing to a flintlock pistol, this direction is certain, the most important thing is that the production should not be a big problem, the improvement plan must be realistic, based on the current level of science and technology, otherwise the things made are unstable and unsafe, where there are still people who dare to use it.
