Chapter 105: The Power of a Rear-Loading Rifled Gun

Hu Zongxian looked at Di Qing and Bai Jinxiu and said in a deep voice: "Everyone's mood is the same. The Governor was also eager to wipe out the Japanese and avenge the death of the people.

It's just that no matter how cruel the Japanese are, after all, they can only be regarded as scabies, but our real henchmen are Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. It's just that if the strategy is inappropriate, the sense of proportion is lost, and the opportunity is delayed too much, then Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will be relieved and regain strength to confront our army. When the time comes, if we want to defeat them completely, I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns.

So if we want to deal with these Japanese bandits, we have to give them a ruthless blow at a time, so that they will retreat in the face of difficulties, and they will no longer dare to raise up the slightest idea of harassing our Daming Haijiang and slaughtering our Daming people.

Go back and wait until we have completely defeated Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, and then free up our hands to completely exterminate these Japanese bandits. ”

Di Qing and Bai Jingxiu both understand the general trend of the world, and naturally know that what Hu Zongxian said is right.

Although they are hateful, they are indeed only scabies.

The only ones who can really hinder and have the ability to hinder Jiang Chuan's domination of the world are Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

After all, they have established a country and become emperors, and they have a large number of military troops and hundreds of thousands of troops.

And with their ability to coerce the people, they will soon be able to coerce millions of people. Although they are all rabble, after all, they will also add a lot of trouble.

Therefore, these two are the real henchmen.

And what Hu Zongxian said is right, if you want to fight this time, you will completely beat the Japanese invaders, so that they will not dare to harass the people of the Ming frontier easily.

Hu Zongxian looked at the looks of the two and knew that both of them understood their thoughts, so he smiled slightly and continued

"Everyone knows that this group of pirates has sharp breech-loading rifled guns, and although our army is also equipped with muskets, they are front-loading smoothbore guns that are not as good as the range and accuracy.

If the Japanese were to be attacked, it would inevitably be based on naval battles and landing battles. At that point, our cavalry will be useless, and most of the battles will be hand-to-hand.

If the opponent's firearms are sharp, our army will be in a passive state. Although with the strength of our army, we will definitely be able to sweep the holes of the Japanese plough court, but it will definitely increase some unnecessary casualties.

The lord has already sent someone from the capital to inform him that as long as it takes another ten days and a half months, our army will also have this kind of breech-loading rifled gun comparable to that of the Japanese Invaders, and at that time priority will be given to the troops attacking and suppressing the Japanese Invaders. That's the best way to go. Anyway, the Japanese are there, and they don't have to worry about them running away for a while, so it doesn't hurt to let them live a few more days. ”

Bai Jinxiu and Di Qing nodded. also knows that what Hu Zongxian said is right. The Japanese would not have thought that there would be a sailor to encircle and suppress them.

Speaking of the breech-loading rifles, Hu Zongxian suddenly asked again: "White girl, have these pirates confessed information about the breech-loading rifled guns, such as where did their rifled guns come from?" How many are there? ”

Bai Jinxiu nodded and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, I was about to report this matter to you. The pirates confessed that the breech-loading rifled guns were purchased from English merchants who were doing business in Fuso. Such guns are very expensive, each for a tael of gold. As a result, the Wako did not have much. According to their confessions, each group of pirates has a maximum of a few dozen strokes in their hands. And they were all used by the leaders of the pirates to equip their own cronies' guards. ”

Hearing that the number of such breech guns in the hands of the Japanese was not large, Hu Zongxian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "If this is the case, it would be great." The lord was worried that if the Wako had a large number of these muskets, it would be a great threat to us. In this way, the previous worries were a bit unnecessary. The ships captured by the sailors this time must have had this kind of musket on them. ”

Bai Jinxiu nodded and said: "Indeed, there are ten on the big ship captured by the sailors, if the Governor is interested, we might as well go and see the uniqueness of this musket." ”

Hu Zongxian happened to have this intention, so he nodded, and walked towards the school field in the barracks with Di Qing and Bai Jinxiu with some personal guards.

Di Qing ordered his soldiers to set targets in the school field.

Targets ranging from 100 to 200 paces are made of planks nearly an inch thick.

Several men from the Black Ice Platform came up with three breech guns.

Hu Zongxian reached out and took a gun and looked at it carefully.

He found that this gun was roughly similar in shape to the flintlock pistol equipped by the Qin army.

But the barrel is longer and the caliber is smaller than that of the Qin army.

And there is an additional loading port behind the barrel, and an additional aiming hole in the rear, and there is also a front sight in front of the barrel.

The guards of the Black Ice Platform who brought the guns had already become familiar with the operation of this kind of gun in the past few days, and took out three paper shell bullets from a deerskin pouch in their pockets and stuffed them into the rear loading ports. He pulled out another iron bar and stabbed the bullet into the chamber of the gun. He handed it to Hu Zongxian and the other three again, and briefly explained the basic use of the gun.

Hu Zongxian pointed the aiming hole and crosshair at a target a hundred steps away, and then pulled the board machine.

The gravel behind the barrel ignited the gunpowder in the chamber, and the bullets whistled out along the barrel and shot towards the target a hundred paces away, and Hu Zongxian himself was pushed backwards by the recoil.

And Di Qing and Bai Jingxiu were also divergent at this time. The method they chose shot the bullet, but Di Qing and Bai Jingxiu both had kung fu. Well, the body is almost slightly moving, the effect of recoil on them. It's not obvious.

Once it's done, it's not long before it's there. The guards stepped forward to check. Hu Zongxian's target pierced through the inch-thick plank of ice and snow a hundred paces away, and continued to fly forward 20 steps away from the Moon Demon before falling to the ground. And Di Qing's target was a board that was not up to 150. It still hit the target, and the bullet that pierced through the bull's-eye and deformed forward flew forward more than a dozen steps before falling to the ground, and finally Bai Jinxiu shot at the target two hundred steps away. His shot of bullets. Just enough to break through. It just hit the plank, but it didn't shoot through. but on the planks of debt.

Hu Zongxian was greatly surprised, for the power, range and accuracy of this gun. You're blown away. Only then did he understand why Jiang Chuan was so eager to replace the equipment and the musket. And after a few shots. Finally realized this gun. The sophistication is really incomparable, if it can be equipped with such muskets in large quantities. After that. On the battlefield will be truly invincible.

After a few people tried the gun, they returned to the big tent of the Chinese army. Di Qing asked. Your Excellency, what should you do with these captured pirates? Wu Zongxian said without hesitation, leaving a few to lead the way, and the rest. Kill them all. Let's commemorate those with their heads. The souls of the dead people also vented their grievances in the hearts of the living, so that the people could know that the hearts of the Lord were planted by the people, and we would definitely avenge the people. Beijing. Deep voice. The last will obey. Tomorrow will be the morale of these widows. Since he dared to come to Daming. Be prepared to be killed. The most hateful thing is that these Ming pirates are actually together with these pirates. Receiving a red envelope is the most hateful.
