Chapter 64: Jiangning Village

For Jin Mingyin's words, what An Yi could do was not only surprised, but also wanted him to show himself the amazing rate of fire of this revolver.

"I'll show you, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish a round." Jin Mingyin said to An Yi while tinkering with the disc wheel in the breech.

An Yi nodded, and then stood sideways with curiosity.

Jin Mingyin twisted the mouth of the gun with his left hand, aimed it at a wooden pile, and then held the crank on the runner with his right hand and pressed it down with great effort.

An Yi saw that the revolver turned with the crank in Jin Mingyin's hand, and the disc in the breech also rotated, and then the gun began to flash like a drum.

"Da~~Da~~Da~~Da~~Da~~Da~~"

From the point of view of comfort, there are a total of nine circles on this wheel, arranged in a circle, and every time one of the circles is aimed in the direction of the breech, a projectile will be fired from the mouth, and between a few breaths, six rounds will be fired in a row before it comes to an abrupt end.

"I think this wheel should be able to shoot nine projectiles, right?"

An Yi pointed to the wheel that had already emitted white smoke and asked Jin Mingyin,

Jin Mingyin stopped the movement of the crank in his hand, then held the gun, looked hard into the wheel with his eyes, scratched his head and replied: "Yes, it stands to reason that nine shots are shot in a row, but it should be a dumb fire when it looks like this." ”

As he spoke, Jin Mingyin dismantled the white smoke wheel and brought it to Anyi.

An Yi held this wheel in his hand and felt that it was full of weight. He found that the wheel was not what he had seen from behind, but that each circle in the back corresponded to a protruding chamber in front, and there were nine of them, three of which were black inside* and the remaining six were empty, and it seemed that these were the six projectiles that had just been fired.

Jin Mingyin pointed to the chambers with his finger and explained to An Yi: "This runner is like a projectile, it is filled with * and projectiles in advance, and when it is used, it is directly stuck in the breech, and the rotation of the runner is driven by the crank handle, and at the same time the flint is triggered, so as to achieve continuous shooting." ”

An Yi flipped the wheel in his hand, and then looked at Jin Mingyin with a smile on his face, he really wanted to know how this kid's head grew and he could come up with these strange things.

He asked, "Ming Yin, can this wheel still be enlarged?" For example, if you make a round of 20 chambers, can you shoot 20 rounds in a row? ”

After hearing this, Jin Mingyin shook his head and said: "Not for the time being, there are currently mute fires and overheating of the gun tube in the nine rounds, and every time a round of shooting is over, we need water to cool down the hot and red gun." That's why I said that this is a semi-finished product, and when it comes to actual combat, I can't carry a few buckets of water. ”

This is indeed a problem, according to Jin Mingyin's demonstration to An Yi just now, An Yi feels that if this weapon is used on the battlefield, it will need at least two people to operate, and it will really be able to shoot continuously and uninterruptedly, and it may be equipped with two or three people who are specifically responsible for watering and cooling the mouth. It's not cost-effective for five of you to operate a weapon with a rate of fire that is only one or two times that of the new gun.

"What's the matter with this dumb fire you're talking about?" An Yi continued to ask,

Jin Mingyin turned back to the side of the revolver, leaned down as if he had removed something with his fingers, and then took it back to An Yi's face, and said helplessly: "If you want to say that this dumb fire is the most headache, the flint I collected before, after being burned by the fire, has turned into this gray-brown appearance, and the success rate of ignition is greatly reduced. ”

Then, he took the runner in An Yi's hand, stuck it in his hand twice, and sprinkled the * powder in the chamber on his hand, "The most annoying thing is this*, the day before it was put into the runner, after a night of rain, even if it was placed in the house, it was all damp." ”

An Yi took the flint in Jin Mingyin's hand and looked at it, then rubbed the * powder on his hand with his hand, and asked, "Didn't you say that there are a lot of flints on this mountain?" ”

Jin Mingyin nodded, but replied with a wry smile: "There are a lot, but recently everyone has been busy renovating the camp, only I took a few people up the mountain to pick it up, and then brought it down for processing, which is very inefficient." ”

After listening to this, An Yi said to him with a smile: "Then you really have met a nobleman, you have to figure out your own way, but flint, I can find you a battalion of men and horses to help you pick up all over the mountain." ”

"Really?"

"Really, early tomorrow morning, follow me to Jiangning Village, recruit troops, and form a firearms battalion for you! You see how my Kim put the total. ”

After that, An Yi patted him on the shoulder, and then turned around and left the back camp, leaving only Jin Mingyin, who was overflowing with excitement, and answered loudly behind his back:

"Yes! Ann-sama! All the officers and men of the firearms battalion obey the order! ”

Following

An Yi took Jin Mingyin and his sister An Xin, plus a standard of dozens of soldiers, and went to Jiangning Village.

The location of Jiangning Village is farther away from Chengdu than Songling Village, which actually means that this village is deeper in the remaining veins of Jiulong Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides and by water on one side.

There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, which is engraved with three majestic and powerful characters of Jiangning Village in official script. On the stele lay a large grate with a pair of rough but not so dark hands. These hands were evidently the hands of the woman in the old linen dress beside her, and while she shook the grate, she patiently picked the corn inside with her hands, and threw aside all the corn that had been eaten by insects and stolen by birds.

"Mother, look, there are soldiers!"

A boy beside him, who was not as tall as the woman's legs, was eating his fingers with relish. When they saw An Yi and them riding horses on the official road into the village, they hurriedly dragged the corners of their mother's clothes and shouted in a milky voice.

When the woman heard the baby's shout, she looked up, and sure enough, she found three people on horseback, followed by dozens of sergeants with steel guns and wearing bright leaf armor, walking towards them.

The gradually dilated figure in her pupils seemed to touch the fear in her heart, and she simply didn't even want the freshly broken corn, picked up the grate with one hand, picked up the child with the other, and hurriedly ran towards the village.

This scene was seen by An Xin, she put her head next to her brother and asked, "Brother, why do I think the atmosphere in this village is weird?" ”

An Yi looked at the yellow leaves scattered on the ground at the entrance of the village, and the sparse population in the distant village, and said helplessly: "Alas, the world is unkind, the world is chaotic, don't you blame." ”

Jiangning Village is much larger than Songling Village, and at least there is a main road paved with stone slabs, and a few vendors scattered on both sides of the village are constantly selling their belongings to passers-by.

"Da~Da~Da"

The sound of the three horses' hooves on the stone road was like a gong struck by the people when the officials walked through the streets, and all those who heard the sound gave in, and even when they saw them, they didn't even sell their things, but put away their stalls and ran to the houses on both sides.

"Brother Yi, the people here, they ..... Seems to be afraid of us. ”

Jin Mingyin looked at the villagers on both sides of the road who were cautiously avoiding them, his eyes were full of panic, and he asked in confusion,

Presumably it was related to Xia Ang's 'suppression of bandits' last time, An Yi thought so, he turned back to his sister beside him and said, "Xin'er, you are a girl, and your affinity is higher than that of us big men, find a villager and ask if there are any elders or patriarchs in the village." ”

An Xin responded with an "um", then turned over and dismounted, and came to a small stall on the side of the road that made sugar people.

"Uncle, I asked you something, are any of the patriarchs or elders in our village at home?"

The old man who sold candy desperately stared at the small eyes on his dark face covered with the ravines of time, looked at the white-clothed boy behind him on a tall horse, and then looked at the girl in front of him with a sweet smile on her face, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Girl, the patriarch is next to the big willow tree at the head of the village, and the first house is." ”

An Xin didn't seem to be listening to what he said, picked up a candy man made in the shape of a monkey from the wooden trough of the stall, and then took out a silver ingot from his cuff and gently placed it in front of the old man's stall.

"Thanks, uncle"

Then he took the candy man and turned around and walked towards comfort.

The old man was discouraged by the dazzling silver ingot in front of him, and he was stunned for about half a day before he hurriedly put away the stall and walked home. However, he was not afraid of the soldiers brought by An Yi, but with An Xin's ingots of silver, he would not have to go out of the stall for at least three or five months.

The big willow tree that the old man said was only one or two hundred steps away from the main road, and under the tree there were rows of houses neatly stacked, with red walls and green tiles, which was very leisurely.

Jin Mingyin turned over and dismounted, came to the front of the courtyard, and shouted towards the first room: "Is the patriarch at home?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw an old man with a rattan stick, walking out of the house quickly, through the courtyard to the comfort horse, throwing the stick in his hand, bowing his head,

"Little old man...... That one...... What do you call that adult? ”

The old man was halfway through his words when he remembered that he didn't know who it was, so he raised his head and asked for comfort.

An Xin, who was next to her, laughed out loud, and said to the old man with a smile: "Uncle, you don't even know who we are, just worship us." ”

An Yi hurriedly glared at his sister, stopped her laughter, then turned over and dismounted to help the old man on the ground up, and said: "The old man doesn't need to be polite, we are from Songling Village, I am the regimental training envoy An Yi, and I came to find the patriarch." ”

When the old man heard where he came from, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "It turned out to be the master of the regimental training, and the little old man is the patriarch of the village, Hu Gui, who didn't know that the adult was coming, and he missed the distance, and hoped that the adult would forgive his sins." ”

Seeing that he was about to kneel again, An Yi hurriedly held him up again, signaling that he didn't have to be so polite, "It turned out to be Patriarch Hu, the old patriarch doesn't have to be so polite, An Yi came here to ask the patriarch for advice." ”

"What do you say, what do you command, but it doesn't hurt to say."

An Yi was about to open his mouth to mention the conscription to him, but suddenly remembered the original Zhou Shibiao in Songling Village, so he added a sentence and asked him casually: "Patriarch Hu, there is a question that needs to be asked clearly before that." This patriarch of yours is the patriarch of Jiangning Village? Or is it the Taoist of the Five Grains Sect? ”

"Oh, my lord, I was personally appointed by the county magistrate after the death of the old patriarch, and the little old man has absolutely nothing to do with the Wugu Sect, I hope the lord will see it!"

How do you know that after hearing Anyi's words, the patriarch of Hu was so frightened that he "pounced" and knelt on the ground again.

An Yi was very helpless to help him up for the third time, and said with a wry smile: "Why should the old patriarch be like this, I just asked casually." ”

The house in the backyard was not closed because Patriarch Hu had just come out in a hurry, so there was still a crack. Through the light, you can see that there are still two pairs of eyes hidden in the slit, one pair of willow leaf thin eyebrows, bright eyes, and the other pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Brother, what do you say Dad is doing? A few days ago, no matter who asked, he insisted that he was a believer in the Five Grains Sect. Now I am so scared that I say that I have nothing to do with the Five Grains Sect, don't be a demon here, right? ”

"Dead girl, don't talk nonsense, you're just stunned, what do you know, Dad, this is called sleek. Before, it was because the Wugu Sect was powerful, but now it's different, the county magistrate is clamoring to purge the Wugu Sect, so don't hurry up and clear up the relationship, anyway, our family has nothing to do with the Wugu Sect. ”

"Can you believe what the government says? It's not that it hasn't been cleaned up before, but two days later, the chief still came to collect the cash, and eighty percent of the Chengdu Mansion was tight, so they hid. ”

"I said that you little girl talk so much, let's change our words when we come back, learn from your father, be tactful! Got it! ”
