After listening to this, Liu Qingyuan asked angrily: "The minister is stupid, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince's hole cards are, is it possible that he can wipe out the main force of the Japanese in an instant?" ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at Qi Long on the side, and Qi Long hurriedly took out the zero-type firearm that he was carrying behind his back and handed it to Liu Qingyuan.

Liu Qingyuan was puzzled when he saw it and asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what is this?" It looks like an arquebus, but there is no arquebus. If it's a stick, the lower officials don't think this thing has much power. ”

Qi Long took back the firecracker, pointed to a big tree about two hundred steps ahead, and said confidently: "Lord Liu, please keep your eyes open." ”

After that, open the safe, pull the bolt to load the bullet, and after aiming at the target, decisively pull the trigger.

I heard a loud "bang", and the bullet rushed out of the muzzle, and the bullet hit the tree hard, piercing the trunk, and then flew for a distance before stopping.

Liu Qingyuan suddenly heard a loud "bang" and shuddered in fright. Seeing the bullet hitting the tree, he didn't bother to greet Zhu Cihong, so he hurriedly rode over on horseback, and after seeing the bullet piercing the tree, he almost shocked his jaw.

Qi Long couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liu Qingyuan's stunned appearance. When the carriage arrived at Liu Qingyuan's side, Qi Long gently poked Liu Qingyuan with his hand. Liu Qingyuan came back to his senses from surprise.

Liu Qingyuan said in surprise: "Palace... Your Highness, this thing is also too powerful, if it hits a person's body, it will destroy the person at once, and if it hits the chest or head, it will directly kill the person at once. The Japanese must have thought that we were still using the arquebus before, and we would definitely be able to catch the Japanese by surprise when the time came. Besides, the attack distance of this gun is very far, there are at least two hundred steps from the place where Fang Cai is here, and the distance of two hundred steps, the Japanese Kou can't rush at all! ”

As he spoke, Liu Qingyuan began to get excited, as if he had expected the killing of the widows.

Seeing Liu Qingyuan like this, Zhu Cihong said lightly: "Lord Liu, don't be happy for too long. This gun magazine can only hold five rounds, and can fire all five rounds in five breaths. After five rounds of ammunition, it is necessary to reload, which takes about fifteen breaths to reload. The effective attack range is about 300 paces. ”

Zhu Cihong poured a sip of cold water and woke up Liu Qingyuan's sweet dream, Liu Qingyuan then thought about it, such a powerful firearm, if it could attack all the time, it would be too rebellious. Liu Qingyuan seemed to sense his gaffe, and said embarrassedly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you tell the lower officials how many such weapons you have." ”

Zhu Cihong stretched out two fingers, and Liu Qingyuan said after seeing it: "Two hundred, five breaths are enough to deal a devastating blow to the Japanese Kou." ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head after hearing this, and Liu Qingyuan said disappointedly when he saw this: "Twenty sticks are still somewhat effective. After all, with an attack distance of 300 paces, by the time the Japanese invaders rushed in front of them, they would probably have already launched three rounds of attacks. ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said helplessly: "Others guess more and more, but you can guess less and less, and if you continue to guess, I'm afraid there will be two firearms in this palace." Okay, I'm not going to tease you, I'll tell you the truth, this time the palace brought out 2,000 muskets, and the people under him can't say that all of them are sharpshooters, but it's still no problem to hit the enemy at a distance of 100 steps. ”

Liu Qingyuan was stunned after hearing this, what is the concept of two thousand firearms, if the two thousand firecrackers are divided into three batches, each batch is nearly seven hundred. These 700 people can carry out non-stop attacks, and 700 bullets can be fired out in one breath, such a powerful firepower network, even if it is a pile of people, can only have a chance after the bullets are exhausted.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyuan said excitedly: "Your Highness, in this case, not to mention 20,000 pirates, even if it is 200,000 pirates, it is not the opponent of these two thousand firearms." ”

Zhu Cihong couldn't help but smile when he saw Liu Qingyuan's appearance of a dirt bun entering the city. This is what to do, when mortars, submachine guns, machine guns, etc. are developed later, I am afraid that Liu Qingyuan's eyeballs will have to fall out. However, in the current situation, the 10-type firecracker is more than enough to deal with a small number of Japanese who use bird guns, and most of them are still holding cold weapons.

Zhu Cihong said lightly: "In this case, we will go to Zhejiang first, and after eliminating the main force of the Japanese invaders, we will then go to solve the Japanese invaders in Guangdong and other places." As for the Japanese in Okinawa, we don't have ships yet, so we can't exterminate them for a while. After we have dealt with the Japanese in our Ming Dynasty, the main palace will write to the emperor and send someone to Okinawa by boat to solve the troubled Japanese invaders. ”

After Liu Qingyuan heard what Zhu Cihong said, he hurriedly chimed in: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, in this case, let's go to Zhejiang!" ”

Then everyone turned around and rushed to Zhejiang. Liu Qingyuan didn't care about riding a horse at this time, sitting in the carriage, and couldn't put it down and played with a zero-style firecracker.

The more he played, the more surprised Liu Qingyuan became, now the border soldiers only used arquebuses, and if the arquebus was to be fired, it must first ignite the arquebus. If it is windy and rainy, the arquebus cannot be ignited, and the arquebus becomes an ornament. This improved version of the arquebus is not a little ahead of the arquebus.

Even the bird guns used by the current Japanese can be used on rainy days as long as they are careful not to let the firing medicine tank get into the water. However, it is difficult to escape the characteristics of slow firing speed, and it is not always possible to shoot successfully, and it is often dumb. The bullets used in the 10-type firearm are all fixed, and only need to be filled into the magazine to fire, even if there are occasional jams, etc., it cannot hide its advantages.

After playing with the one-zero fire gun for a while, Liu Qingyuan rushed to Zhu Cihong with great interest and said, "Your Highness, the minister feels that there is still great room for improvement in this gun. ”

Zhu Cihong naturally knew how to improve, and asked with interest: "According to Liu Shilang, how can this gun be improved?" ”

Liu Qingyuan thought for a while and said: "Back to Your Highness, the minister thinks that if five rounds of ammunition are true, it is a bit small. Can the front magazine be expanded, for example, lengthened or widened, so that more ammunition can be installed. In addition, for each bullet fired, the bolt had to be pulled. After the bullet is loaded, it can be fired, and if a round of ammunition is fired, the next round of ammunition will automatically spring onto the chamber without pulling the bolt, so that it can be fired seamlessly. ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned after hearing this, he really didn't expect Liu Qingyuan to think of so much. Zhu Cihong had been exposed to guns before, so he knew how to improve it, and Liu Qingyuan only played with it for a few days before putting forward two constructive suggestions.

Seeing that Liu Qingyuan was so good, Zhu Cihong had a heart of love for talent, and said lightly: "Liu Shilang's idea is really good, or after the Japanese are expelled, Liu Shilang will follow the palace to develop firearms?" I believe that with the help of Liu Shilang, the fire gun will become more advanced. ”

Liu Qingyuan hurriedly refused when he heard it: "Your Highness, you think too highly of the minister, the minister is just talking a few nonsense, if you let the minister personally start to improve, I'm afraid Your Highness will be disappointed." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "It's okay, failure is the mother of success, how can you succeed if you don't experience failure." As long as you want to do it, this palace will fully support you. You don't have to give the palace an answer now, think about it carefully, and wait until you drive the Japanese out of my Daming, and then it's not too late to give the palace an answer. ”

After listening to Zhu Cihong, Qi Long said in surprise: "Your Highness, your words are really incisive!" Failure is the mother of success, too vivid, too vivid. It makes so much sense how you can succeed without experiencing failure. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Cihong rolled his eyes helplessly, Qi Long's old problem was really committed again.
