Zhu Cihong entrusted the plan of elite soldier training to Qi Long, and regardless of Qi Long's bitter gourd face, he returned to the palace with Chunxiang. After all, it has been a long time to come out, and I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome if I don't go back.

Now that the elite soldiers are already training, the next thing to solve should be the weapon problem. Where do you start? Zhu Cihong fell into deep thought.

Although I know the principle of a gun, I have never made a gun. It seems that I have to find a professional to find out.

"Haruka, where is the Ordnance Bureau in charge of weapons?"

After hearing this, Chunxiang quickly knelt down and said in horror: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me, the slave maid doesn't know where the Ordnance Bureau is." ”

Seeing Chunxiang like this, Zhu Cihong rolled his eyes, and said helplessly: "If you don't know, you don't know, forgive what sins." This prince is not an unreasonable person, so get up quickly. ”

After listening to Zhu Cihong, Chunxiang stood up. "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to go to the Ordnance Bureau, you can go back to the palace and let Xia Nuan lead the way, Xia Nuan is as familiar with the palace as her own home."

Zhu Cihong asked puzzledly, "Oh? Why is Xia Nuan so familiar with the situation in the palace. ”

Chunxiang hurriedly explained: "The slave maid and Xia Nuan both entered the palace as a child, and Xia Nuan likes to sneak out to play when she has nothing to do." As long as she walks, she will remember it in her mind, and she will never forget it. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "I didn't expect Xia Nuan to be a natural tour guide." Then go back to the palace first, and then let Xia Nuan lead the way to the Ordnance Bureau. ”

The weapons of the Ming Dynasty were made by the Ordnance Bureau, at the beginning, the Ordnance Bureau specialized in the manufacture of saddle sheaths and various cold weapons, and then with the introduction of hot weapons, the saddle sheath was specially separated, and the Ordnance Bureau began to specialize in all kinds of firearms and cold weapons.

"Lao Wang, the firearms made by your kid are better than the other, and today the Shenji Battalion has rewarded your kid again, and your kid has a treat tonight."

"That's nature, we have made excellent firearms, and we also have the credit of all of you here, and we won't get drunk tonight."

"Wouldn't it be a great pleasure in life to order two more oirans."

"Hey, hey, hey, or Lao Sun understands me."

Hearing the sound from inside, Zhu Cihong's face became colder and colder, and he kicked the door open with a "bang".

"Damn, the one who doesn't open his eyes dares to kick the door and eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu gave an order......"

Zhu Cihong said coldly: "What's wrong with an order? Well? It's really a great official. During his tenure, he did not think about how to improve his firearms, but instead thought about where to go at night. Is this your duty to duty? ”

The tall man was going to scold, but when he saw Zhu Cihong, he instantly became dumbfounded. The three of them hurriedly knelt down: "The ministers didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, and they couldn't meet him from afar, so they asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness." ”

Originally, I thought that these people who pinched the Arms Bureau would have to waste a lot of effort, but I didn't expect to catch their pigtails just after they came, and they really fell asleep and came to deliver pillows.

Zhu Cihong just stared at the three people and didn't speak. The faces of the three of them were all white when they were frightened by Zhu Cihong, and they were sweating profusely after a while.

Zhu Cihong knows the truth of being too late, and seeing that the fire is almost over, people will inevitably have a rebellious mentality if they continue to toss. So he said lightly: "Okay, let's get up." ”

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly got up as if they had heard Xianle.

"I heard that you have made all the finest firearms? This prince wants to find out. ”

A thin middle-aged man among the three stood up and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Wang Gensheng, the deputy of the Ordnance Bureau, has been studying firecrackers for more than 30 years, so please introduce His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After that, he took out a firearm and introduced: "This gun is a handcuff, which is composed of a breech, a medicine chamber and a tail. The handcuff is light and dexterous, the body is slender, the breech is cylindrical, and the projectile is placed inside. The medicine room is spherical and bulging, and there is a fire door on the wall of the chamber for placing the lead for ignition. The tail chisel is hollow and can be equipped with a wooden handle, which is easy for the launcher to handle. Some handcuffs have several reinforcing hoops from the mouth of the pistol to the tail of the puff, which is added below, with these reinforcing hoops, you can greatly improve the service life of the handcuff, and avoid accidentally injuring your own people in the bore. ”

After listening to Wang Gensheng's introduction, Zhu Cihong nodded. I didn't expect that there were two brushes when I looked at the idle.

After Wang Gensheng finished introducing, he put down the handgun in his hand, picked up another one and said, "This gun is a three-eyed gun." The three-eyed gun is a common multi-tube gun, the body of the gun is made of three guns in parallel to cast into the shape of "product", most of them have a reinforcing hoop, the tail is a tail chisel, and a wooden handle is installed. Each gun has 1 medicine chamber and fire door, which can be fired in bursts or salvos after ignition, and is often used for cavalry, and can be hammered to the enemy after shooting. ”

"In addition, there is a big bowl of guns used in water warfare, just because the guns are too big, so they will be sent to the navy as soon as they are made, because there are no samples for the time being, I will not introduce them much, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me."

Zhu Cihong couldn't help but applaud after hearing this. Said happily: "I didn't expect that there were two brushes." ”

Wang Gensheng heard Zhu Cihong's applause, and couldn't help but flutter.

"But what about the shortcomings of this gun?"

Wang Gensheng was stunned for a moment, shortcomings? This gun is already perfect, what can be the downside. You are a hairy boy, and you will pick thorns before your hair grows, so let's see Lao Tzu give you a dismount today.

Thinking of this, Wang Gensheng lowered his posture and asked puzzledly: "According to His Royal Highness the Prince, what needs to be improved about this gun?" ”

Zhu Cihong knew that Wang Gensheng was planning to give himself a dismount, and said unhurriedly: "The real shortcomings of the fire gun are reflected in its backward firing device, from the knowledge of the prince, the arquebus made by Fanyi, when the firing device is pulled, the fire rope will automatically detonate the gunpowder, that is, the design is designed at the same time as pulling the trigger, which is conducive to shooting moving objects. ”

"Our guns also use the backward lead detonation mode, that is, ignite the gunpowder fuse that is exposed to the outside, and then the lead burns into the inside to detonate the gunpowder, so it can only be shot after a few seconds of ignition, and the shooter has no way of knowing when the gunpowder will explode, so it is difficult to hit a moving object."

"I think Lord Wang should understand this very clearly, I have such a big shortcoming of the Great Flame Gun, and you actually told this prince that there is no shortcoming? Do you really think that this prince is young and ignorant? Zhu Cihong's tone became colder and colder, and a trace of chill flashed in his eyes after speaking, making Wang Gensheng feel cold as if he was being hit by a poisonous snake.

"It's... This..."Wang Gensheng stammered for a long time, not knowing how to reply.

At this embarrassing time, a middle-aged man stepped forward.

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, under Li Xiangcheng, the current director of the Ordnance Bureau. We are also studying the shortcomings of this firecracker, but it is too difficult to improve. After several years of research, nothing has been achieved, and the funds from above have not been approved for two years, so there is no extra money for research and development. Naturally, the shortcomings of this fire gun cannot be improved. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong fell into deep thought.
