Chapter 154: Great Ming Firearms

Xu Jiang had already been instructed, and after the execution was completed, he arranged for the captain to carry those unlucky guys back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Then he took a group of cronies and went out to arrest people.

Catch whom?

Naturally, it is those who do not come to the yamen for no reason.

In one room, Li Xiuwen was gulping down food. He didn't eat in the morning, and he was really hungry.

Seeing that he was reincarnated as a starving ghost, Yang Yuxuan covered his mouth and snickered.

Li Xiuwen finished eating, raised his head and glared at her, snorted with his nose, but did not speak.

"Xianggong, are you really angry?"

"That's not true, this town can hold the boat in the belly."

Seeing him with a straight face, Yang Yuxuan smiled and said, "If you still say no, you're just angry." ā€

Li Xiuwen leaned his back behind him, still with a cold face, and didn't say a word.

"Oh, people know it's wrong."

Yang Yuxuan put on an aggrieved expression, got up and came behind him as she spoke, put her hand on his shoulder and rubbed it gently, and continued in her mouth: "Good husband, don't be angry." ā€

Yang Yuxuan is unusually today, she is coquettish and flattering, how can Li Xiuwen still be angry?

Feeling the kneading of the little hands on his shoulders, he closed his eyes comfortably and enjoyed it comfortably.

Yang Yuxuan saw his old man's appearance, and reached out to his waist with hatred and pinched it.

"Oops!"

Li Xiuwen's waist hurt, so he immediately jumped up from the chair, reached back with both hands, and directly picked up Yang Yuxuan, who was about to dodge and escape, pressed him into his arms, and said angrily: "Dare to treat you like this, see if I don't teach you a lesson!" ā€

It has been almost two months since he left the capital, and Li Xiuwen has never tasted meat along the way, which will have long been suffocated. As he spoke, he leaned down, bowed his head and kissed the beautiful woman in his arms.

Yang Yuxuan exclaimed: "Farewell, this is in the Yamen...... Hmmm......"

Li Xiuwen has just been promoted three levels in a row, which can be described as a spring breeze, so he doesn't care if this is a yamen or not. Before she could finish speaking, she had already taken her delicate red lips into her mouth and sucked them greedily.

Little Bie is newlywed.

Yang Yuxuan struggled at first, but then his hands were tightly wrapped around his neck, and he poked out his spiritual tongue in response.

Li Xiuwen put his hands up and down, and only after about a stick of incense did he let go of her.

Yang Yuxuan got up panting, glanced at him with a red face, and then went to tidy up the messy clothes on his body.

Seeing her like this, Li Xiuwen's heart fluttered, and he almost couldn't help but give her the Fa on the spot.

But now there is still business to do, so Li Xiuwen arranged for someone to send Yang Yuxuan back. Subsequently, he went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Works.

In addition to being in charge of the law and discipline, Nanzhen Fusi is also in charge of military craftsmen. The reason why Nanzhen was in charge of the military craftsmen was mainly for the secrecy of the armament.

At this time, Li Xiuwen did not know much about the extent to which firearms had developed. In his previous life, he had heard that the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were in the leading position in the world.

There are three battalions in the Jingshi, namely the Fifth Army Battalion, the Shenji Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion (formerly known as the 3,000 Battalion).

Among them, the whole battalion of the Shenji Battalion is equipped with firearms and is a special unit in the Ming Dynasty army. But for some reason, the imperial court did not seem to attach much importance to the use of firearms.

If you don't pay attention, then leave it to me!

Li Xiuwen thought very simply, first understand the situation clearly, and then think of a way to see if he can deceive the Shenji Battalion.

Of course, he knew that it was difficult for him to become a soldier. But the method was figured out by people, Zhu Youzhen is a little different from other emperors, and he likes to do things that don't take the usual path. As long as you can have his trust, everything will be easy.

Li Xiuwen came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, found a principal, and after briefly asking about some firearms, he asked him to take him over to have a look.

Zhu Tinghuan, the director of the Ministry of Works, enthusiastically led Li Xiuwen to the Ordnance Bureau.

When the ambassador here saw these two officials coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Li Xiuwen asked, "What kind of firearms do you have today?" ā€

The ambassador replied: "Lord Hui, the firearms include three-eyed guns, bird guns, swarm bees, mines, underwater dragon king cannons, and 10,000 enemies......

Li Xiuwen was in a fog when he heard it, so he had to interrupt: "Okay, okay, can you let me see the drawings?" ā€

The ambassador readily agreed: "Your Excellency, Your Majesty will take you to see it." ā€

Coming to a room, the ambassador took out a stack of drawings and handed them to Li Xiuwen, on which were drawn all kinds of firearms.

Li Xiuwen looked through them one by one, and when he saw a pattern similar to a modern rifle, he pointed to the pattern and asked, "This is the bird gun?" ā€

"Yes."

"How far does this bird go?"

"Within sixty steps, you can hit the target."

Sixty steps, that's thirty meters?

Li Xiuwen was a little disappointed, and continued to ask, "How powerful is it?" ā€

The ambassador replied, "Leather armor can be broken within sixty steps." ā€

"How many shots can you make with a stick of incense?"

"About ten rounds."

This is the world's leading firearm?

Li Xiuwen couldn't help but be deflated, this thing is not very useful.

Seeing the disappointed look on his face, the ambassador hurriedly said, "My lord, this bird is stronger than a bow and arrow. ā€

Li Xiuwen nodded, and then briefly asked about some other firearms. He found that if the soldiers were equipped with these firearms, their individual combat capabilities would not be much stronger.

He also learned that the famous "Guanning Iron Cavalry" in history was also equipped with a firearm -- a three-eyed gun.

After a brief understanding, Li Xiuwen is not very optimistic about the three-eyed gun. This big guy is far less accurate and range-free than the bird's gun, and I dare to love that they are used as a hammer to smash people in close combat.

The bird guns of this period were made of fine iron, which had changed the defect of being easy to explode. It's just that the firing steps are too cumbersome, which makes many soldiers unaccustomed to using them. In addition, when the bird is ignited, it is easily affected by wind and rain, and is not suitable for fighting in rainy days.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiuwen asked, "Can you increase the range of the bird?" ā€

"This ......"

The ambassador pondered for a moment and replied, "The lower official is not very clear, and he has to ask the craftsman to know." ā€

Li Xiuwen asked him to find the craftsman who made the firecracker, and after some inquiry, he found that it could really increase the range. It's just that the barrel needs to be lengthened a little longer, and the drug introduction should also be increased.

If it is too long and the gun is too heavy, it is not suitable for individual combat. But if the range is too close, you won't be able to achieve the effect you want.

Li Xiuwen thought for a while, and then said his request to the craftsmen, asking them to try to increase the range as much as possible, but not too bulky, making it inconvenient to carry alone.

Li Xiuwen didn't know much about this professional knowledge, so he could only let them try to come out and have a look.

After coming out of the Ordnance Bureau, Li Xiuwen looked at the sky and walked straight to the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. (To be continued.) )
