Chapter 30: A Gun as Expensive as Gold
"Ren Qianhu, it's the eighth day, and Shen Gongzi still says that he has no intention of moving because he is sick! Will Your Majesty's side do it? This is a ...... of resistance" Ren Tian originally thought that pie fell from the sky and hit his head, but Luo Commander personally promoted him and talked in private, and the task was simple, which was to protect his brother-in-law.
At that time, I was stupid, I really thought that my thousand-year-old daughter-in-law had become a mother-in-law, soaring and soaring, and sealing his wife and shadow was just around the corner, I never thought that this Shen Xing was actually a lord who even dared to disobey the emperor's order, in just five days, he and Zhang Ping, the battalion of the Shenji Battalion, did not know the taste of food, could not sleep, and the white hair was overgrown in a hurry, and even his mother's pee was hot and yellow.
Ren Tian shook his body and looked at Zhang Ping squatting down helplessly, took out Red Double Happiness and stuffed it into the cigarette holder and gave him one casually, "It's fast, it's fast, the grain and grass in the village seem to be almost loaded, after all, there are many people and things, and they are big young masters, eh, if Your Majesty wanted to blame, he would have sent someone a long time ago, how can the Holy Family of the Son of Heaven be our ordinary mind to guess!" ”
Zhang Ping nodded thoughtfully, and also took out the boil on his waist, lit the fireworks, and sucked it up with a look of enjoyment against the haystack.
In the courtyard, Shen Xing leaned on the recliner as if he was dying, and screamed, and put a hot towel on his forehead, and the big and small flowers beside him were massaging and handing fruits, and they were very busy, and the two of them kept comforting him. "Young master, just give the food, don't feel distressed, you will definitely earn it back if you are so capable!"
The red lady commanded the girls to pack up, while washing the big white horse mount that Shen Da didn't know where to sell for herself, and looked at Shen Xing with pity from time to time, since the two finished the husband and wife, the red lady didn't know what was wrong with her, and Shen Xing seemed to have changed all of a sudden in her eyes.
Usually those annoying behaviors, words seem to have become advantages, and even pretending to be sick and lazy seems to be so cute and playful. The big white horse must have been sold by him at his behest Shen Da, I heard that it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, so a person who loves money was deceived by the emperor and couldn't eat for three days, why was he so good to himself......
"Shen Da, Shen Da...... If you don't come here again, the young master will finish the calf, if the dead old man doesn't do a good job of keeping the gun and hand ammunition today, I will take him to Shanxi to be cannon fodder......"
In this way, Shen Xing and the monk chanted the scriptures for a long time, and Shen Dacai was sweating profusely and dragged the old man and a group of people who carried things in. "Young master, the things are here, take a look!" The old man was obviously dragged by Shen Da to run, and he was out of breath and tired with only half a life left, but his face was still full of joy that could not be concealed.
"Shao Dong, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, Xiao Lao'er, all the junior brothers and a group of craftsmen smashed out the musket." Shen Xing almost bounced up from the rattan chair.
Took over the big three or eight big covers that Wu Xianlu held in his hand, the process was obviously a lot rougher, and it was lengthened by more than ten centimeters, and it was very difficult for a small man like himself to hold it in terms of weight, but the parts that should be screwed and the gun were not falling, that is, through the barrel to see that even the trajectory of the spiral was also handmade.
Shen Xing picked up the special brass bullet in his hand, weighed it with interest, and loaded it quickly, without the expected deviation, "How is the power, old Wu?" You should have tried. ”
"The range is longer, but the lethality is not as powerful as your original gun, but I don't know how many times more powerful than the arquebus of the Shenji Battalion, and the Franco machine man is not as good as ours at all, the key is to fire continuously without ignition, and the bayonet installed in front of it! Young master, Lao Wu really doesn't know how you came up with it, even if the bullet runs out, then he will be a big spear! ”
Shen Xing patted the old man on the shoulder with great satisfaction after hearing this, thinking that he was a fart with the Franc machine, and he would not be able to catch up with the burning stick in their hands for another hundred years, but I heard that the Hongyi cannon made was really easy to use, and the Shenji battalion sent by Chongzhen to escort it seemed to have pulled several doors. I have to find time for the old man and these professionals to study and study.
"Old man, you are really an arms expert in the Ming Dynasty, this skill is just now, not bad, this young master is greatly rewarded!" The old man smiled and was a little embarrassed to be praised by Shen Xing.
"This young owner, the old man doesn't dare to hide it, the biggest contribution is still my Bi Maokang, Bi junior brother, in his "Illustrated Weapons of Weapons" introduced in the flintlock pistol and your 38 rifle have many similarities, the old man showed him the rifle, he followed to do it, not even the official did it, day and night are almost a magic barrier, your original gun was also dismantled by him, I'm afraid it ......"
As a weapon enthusiast, I checked the Internet information at that time and saw that Qianlong, an old bastard, destroyed Bi Daniu's "Illustrated Weapons", and I hated itchy, if "Illustrated Weapons" could be carried forward, my Greater China would not suffer such humiliating suffering for hundreds of years to come.
Wei Wei's thousands of years of scientific and technological achievements in China have not been destroyed by the Manchu Tartars, this group of backward barbarians are afraid of the counterattack of the Han people, in order to consolidate their rule really do everything, the future prison can be called a feat.
"Old man, the gun will be dismantled, you junior brother, you will always take care of it, what he wants to study, you always agree, but don't fight him, after I leave, you will take him to Jiangnan first, this young master can tell you, no matter who dies, he can't die, you know? Otherwise, the consequences are really serious! ”
Lao Qi, Shen Da and Wu Xianlu are all confused, even if they can make rifles, they don't need to exaggerate like this, not to mention that he is not a man-made one, many people will, of course, they can't understand the difference between a weapon researcher and a craftsman, Shen Xing is also too lazy to explain, otherwise he will really be tired to death.
"How many guns have been made? And the low-profile version of the hand bullet should not be difficult. The old man hurriedly nodded, "It's very simple to keep bullets in your hand, just these days, Xiao Lao'er has recruited more than 2,000 people to work day and night, at least more than 20,000 pieces, but the power is indeed a little smaller. Because the newly developed ** is equipped with rifle bullets. ”
More than 20,000 pieces, even if the scrap point is less powerful, but at least it is enough to use it when you run for your life, tie a row to your waist and make a death squad or something, even if the Manchu Iron Cavalry is fierce, you should stop cooking, Shen Xing wrenched his fingers and counted evilly.
"There are a lot fewer rifles, because each part has to be polished by skilled craftsmen and the requirements are extremely high, even the production of bullet shells is quite difficult, brass is scarce in a short time, Xiao Lao'er only made fifty in these eight days, but only fifteen can really be used, and 1,500 bullets. But just like that, it also costs more than 20,000 or 30,000 silver. ”
Wu Xianlu took a breath of cold air, thinking that in the future, only a loser like his own young master could make more rifles. Shen Xing was also very disappointed but didn't expect that the process bottleneck was not stumped, this military expenditure scared him, touched the gun in his hand, and then took a closer look, good guy, many parts are actually made of real money.
But after thinking about it carefully, I understand, Daming's process at the moment can make refined steel is already good, can it still soften the steel again, it is really too against the sky, and the hardness of copper, silver, and gold is relatively easy to do, a gun is a few thousand taels, where the is this gun, this is Lao Tzu's hard-earned money, my heart really hurts, Chongzhen is really open for you Lao Tzu.
"Young master, are you okay, those swords and steel spears are all loaded, but they were all requisitioned in advance from Steward Liu, and the food and silver add up to almost 500,000, or let's go!" Liu Guanshi went to the capital to pick up his wife and daughter, and it seems that he will come back today. After listening to Shen Da's words, Shen Xing only felt that his eyes were dark, and he barely said the word "go away" and completely collapsed, he really hurt very much, and there was that Liu Qingyuan that we couldn't afford to provoke.
