The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

and Luo Yangxing were accompanied by two colleagues from the Zhenfu Division, who were wearing light flying fish suits under the scorching sun, looking meticulous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, in addition to accepting tasks, Jinyiwei is also responsible for delivering orders from the Son of Heaven and also doing security work, to put it bluntly, it is the stake on the palace hall.

Of course, these piles are not idle, they are generally tall and big, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and they are full of energy, with a loud voice, and they are quite majestic in appearance.

"Li Wei, Song Zhiyuan, Jinyi Wei Baihu, are all old people. Now Jinyiwei has been laid off, and there are very few promotions, and I want them to follow the adults to fight for a future. ”

Luo Yangxing sat down, got straight to the point, and directly introduced the two subordinates to Qin Haoming.

Although the cooperation between the two has been for a short time, he has seen Qin Haoming's methods and techniques, and understands the gap between the two sides.

Therefore, he now has the heart to make friends with the two sides, which may be a way out in the future.

"Thank you Commander Luo for your kindness, and I am happy to have the help of the two of you."

Qin Hao and the three of them saluted one by one, covering all aspects.

Li Wei and Song Zhiyuan didn't even dare to say it, but they were also moved at the same time.

With the identity of Qin Governor today, there is no difference between him and them, but treating them with courtesy is really the style of a general and a broad-minded person.

"Governor Qin, Luo is back in Beijing today, can he explain before leaving?"

The matter of high diving is over, and it is estimated that there is no big problem. However, Jin Yiwei's future difficulties are still the same, just like the rag on the stove, thinking of using it, it will inevitably make him lament.

Although Qin Du is young, he has great wisdom, so Luo Yangxing asked for guidance before leaving.

"Jinyiwei was originally the eyes and ears of the heavenly family, the eagle dog of the imperial court, and it was of great benefit to the Daming Society.

However, the murderous reputation in the past also went in the wrong direction, with more internal and less external, so the civil and military officials did not like it and suppressed it collectively.

Those who are ministers are worried about the ministers, and the kings are humiliated and the ministers die!

If you want to make a difference, Commander Luo might as well remember the above twelve words, and maybe he can change the predicament. ”

For Jin Yiwei, Qin Haoming can't talk about likes and dislikes. But for a country or a regime, it is the basis for guaranteeing rule.

Chongzhen is overkill, and he doesn't need to be bullied by brocade clothes, so he is like self-funded martial arts to cover his ears and eyes. In the end, everything is up to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and it is inevitable that he will be deceived.

Especially in troubled times, Ming officials have long had no ethics to speak of, all kinds of chaos are numerous, but they are not effectively supervised, and the country will inevitably fall apart.

Luo Yangxing's eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "Those who are ministers are worried about the ministers, and the kings are humiliated and the ministers die......"

If you want to say what Chongzhen lacks most now, it is naturally money.

This time, more than 3 million taels of silver were obtained from the height, and if five mansions were added, it was estimated that there were 4 million taels of silver.

It is conceivable that this move will make Chongzhen very happy, after all, it solves his urgent need.

Taking this opportunity, if someone helps with a good word or two, it is not known that Jinyiwei will be reused from now on?

"Thank you Qin Du for your advice, Luo understands what to do, and he will talk about it when he enters Beijing one day!"

Luo Yangxing was very decisive, and after thinking about what was going on, he hurriedly resigned and left.

After temporarily settling Li Wei and Song Zhiyuan, Qin Haoming led a few guards to rush to the Xuanfu Military Bureau. Today is a day to celebrate for him.

After many days of exploration, the Xuanfu Military War Bureau received a letter that fifty new guns had been manufactured.

On the wide school field, there were twenty or thirty people standing sparsely, Qin Haoming and the production craftsmen were preparing to test the gun, and other idle people were excluded.

On the bench, there were two kinds of firearms made of fifty steel pipes by the craftsmen according to Qin Haoming's requirements.

Qin Haoming picked up one of them, looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

At his suggestion, the gun was recharged.

At the rear of the barrel, an opening was made, on which there was a movable cover with a self-locking device, similar to the bolt on the rifles of later generations.

By removing the lid, you can fill the barrel with gunpowder and projectiles, and when the lid is closed and locked, the barrel becomes a semi-enclosed space, no different from the front-loading gun.

Since the cartridge with a shell was not used, the gun did not need a shell retractor, nor did it have a device such as a firing pin, and the structure was much simpler.

The main thing is that because the toughness of steel is much better than that of cast iron, there is no risk of exploding. So the barrel of this gun is much thinner than that of an ordinary iron gun, and the weight is naturally reduced.

"Yes, after the gun was built, have you ever tested it?"

Qin Haoming stroked the gun repeatedly, and couldn't put it down.

In addition to the functional requirements, the whole gun is also beautifully crafted, and all the parts are polished very exquisitely.

The back has a wooden handle with a carved pattern, making it look like a work of art.

This made him, who had not touched a gun for a long time, feel excited in his heart, which can be imagined.

"After the villain built the gun, he tried it several times. At first, there was still a little problem, but after several transformations, now there is no problem at all, and you can fire with medicine, which is very convenient. ”

Wang Dali stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.

Like the flintlock pistol made by Bi Maokang in the War Bureau, this gun was made with flint ignition.

It's just that according to the idea proposed by Qin Du, Wang Dali made a trigger with a spring, and as long as he pulled it, he would drive a hammer to hit a piece of flint next to it.

Flint bursts out of the spark, which can ignite the gunpowder in the powder chamber and complete the shooting action.

"The master of the king is really skilled, and he is greatly admired by the governor." Qin Haoming said sincerely.

In the absence of various machinery, it is indeed very difficult to make such a product completely by hand.

He had an empty stomach of scientific and technological knowledge, and if he really wanted to let himself do such a thing, he might not be able to do it.

Hearing Qin Haoming's praise, Wang Dali's heart felt like drinking honey, and he bowed down and said, "The villain is just practice makes perfect."

If it weren't for Qin Du's guidance, how could the villain create such a firecracker? ”

"Haha...... This can no longer be called a firebolt, it should be called a flint. ”

Qin Haoming's heart was extremely happy, and he smiled proudly.

With this sharp weapon, as long as one's army is fully equipped with flintlock pistols, its military strength will achieve a qualitative leap.

Now, though, is not the time.

"Test guns begin."

Qin Haoming was in high spirits and shouted loudly.

"No!"

The special testers of the Military War Bureau picked up bullets wrapped in oiled paper, which contained gunpowder and projectiles.

It seems that he has trained before, and I saw him skillfully pull open the bolt-like cover, load the bullet into it, and then lock the cover, completing the preparation before shooting.

He took his breath, raised his gun, aimed it at the iron steel armor two hundred paces away, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang ......"

There was a loud bang, and a ball of fire burst out of the muzzle.

When everyone rushed to the target position, the heavy iron cuirass on the target position had been pierced by a bullet through a black hole.

"My lord, we have done experiments, this gun can penetrate a layer of iron armor in 200 steps, and leather armor in 300 steps......

These figures are conservative estimates for us as craftsmen, and the actual power must be even greater than our estimates......"

The test was successful, Wang Dali said excitedly.

"Good, good, good! A weapon of the nation! If you have merit, you will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver for encouragement! Wang Jiangtou was promoted to the owner of the firearms workshop of the War Bureau. ”

Qin Haoming was full of smiles, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said loudly to everyone at the scene.

"Thank you Qin Du for your grace! Thank you Qin Du for your grace! ……”

The craftsmen on the scene could no longer be calm, and they all knelt down one by one, kowtowing to Qin Haoming, and their tones were choked.

Once upon a time, how many high-ranking officials regarded these lowly craftsmen as human beings? How many high-ranking officials attach so much importance to them?

At this moment, they are full of confidence in going south to Fujian, and they no longer have any worries. Even, when you go back, you have to write a letter or tell your good friends that they must seize the opportunity.

This is what Ambassador Xu quietly told them, in fact, craftsmen with good skills are more or less required by Lord Qindu.

"Craftsman Liu, now it's your turn to show."

Qin Haoming smiled slightly, asked everyone to get up, and said to Liu Zhimin, who was stocky in the field.

"Yes, Governor Qin."

Liu Zhimin held the bird gun in parallel, opened the gunpowder warehouse, took out a paper bag from his pocket, bit the paper bag with his mouth, poured the black powder into the gunpowder warehouse, and then closed the door of the gunpowder store.

Then he erected the bird gun with the barrel facing up, poured the iron beads in the paper bag into the barrel, and then took out the whole strip from the barrel and poked it in the barrel a few times.

Then the bird gun fire rope was lit, and with the sound of snorting, the bird gun made a "boom" sound, a puff of white smoke slowly rose, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of gunpowder.

When the gun rang out, Qin Haoming noticed that Liu Zhimin's arm shook suddenly, and he almost couldn't hold the gun.

This is the recoil when shooting, which is much more powerful than the pistols of later generations.

From the size of the recoil, it can also be estimated that the degree of gunpowder disemboweling, it feels like it should be easy to penetrate ordinary armor.

"Good, not bad. In recent days, the workshop produced fifty arquebuses, one hundred and fifty flintlock pistols. Rest of the stuff later. ”

Qin Haoming said to Wang Dali and Xu Jie.

Solving the problem of seamless steel pipes, the flintlock gun is definitely more advanced and easier to use than the arquebus.

The reason why Qin Haoming still wants to produce arquebuses is because he wants to use flintlock pistols as a killer weapon.

"No!"

The two bowed and replied.
