The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

Now Jiliao, the most front-line military town, uses the fire guns made by the Ministry of Industry, and the quality is so bad that even the soldiers are not at ease.

You have to stay away from your head, otherwise the projectiles you shoot out may not hurt the enemy, but if you blow up the chamber, it will easily hurt yourself.

Many of the soldiers in the Liaozhen Firearms Battalion wore blindfolds of one-eyed dragons, which were the marks left by the fire guns made by the Ministry of Industry.

After a few bangs, the birds on the opposite side were hit several times and fell on the spot. Someone rode over and picked it up.

After retrieving it, the soldiers found that the fire gun had broken all the birds' bodies, and only the wings seemed to be intact, but they were also blurred with flesh and blood.

"It's powerful."

This time, it was Cao Bianjiao who exclaimed.

Zu Dashou frowned slightly and said: "About eighty steps can shoot a bird and make it land, this seems to be the record of Qi Shuai's bird hand, Qin Governor's soldiers and horses are worthy of his reputation." ”

Having said that, there was no joy in his expression.

Thinking about it, it is understandable that the soldiers of Jiliao are the most elite in Guanning Iron Cavalry, that is, these family members under Zu Dashou.

From the bottom of his heart, this army is a reason for him to reach out to the court to ask for money, and even a reason for his ancestral family to support the army.

If there is another army in the imperial court that is more elite than the Guanning Iron Cavalry, it will become uncontrollable in terms of importance and risk, adding many variables.

Lu Xinrong naturally didn't know what Zu Dashou thought, so he just smiled and didn't say anything.

There is a big difference between a flintlock pistol and a self-fired gun, and when the gun is inconvenient in case of wind and rain, all guns must first open the fire door, but they can be raised against the enemy.

There are often those who are wet by wind and rain and can not start, and there are those who do not shine on the stars and send by mistake, the faucet must be transformed, so that the flint touch machine will be spontaneously combusted, and the wind and rain will not be wet, and the urgency can be handy.

The flintlock pistol, on the other hand, was the secret weapon of the Doge's Palace, or the less people knew about it, the better.

The few soldiers who used flintlock pistols around him had only one small banner, and Qin Du specially assigned them these senior generals, not only as guards for protection, but also as instructors for the Marine Corps in the future.

There is no way, the production capacity of guns can't keep up, according to Qin Du, there are only people waiting for weapons, not weapons waiting for people.

Zu Dashou knew that Qi Jiguang was a master of firearms, although his fame was in the Jiajing period, and it had been decades since now.

However, the quality of the bird guns at that time was much better than that of today, the range was long, the power was great, and the guns were well-trained, and they performed well on the battlefield of exterminating the Japanese and resisting the northern captives.

They think it's their own fire, so it's best to know it.

Since Governor Qin wants to kill his nephew Wu Sangui, it is not much better to come and be his uncle, so it is better to be safe.

The Dengzhou Navy took Wu Sangui and Zu Kuan's 3,000 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliaries, together with their military achievements, and galloped to Xizhong Island, where they joined the 5,000 cavalry led by Xuanda Zhang Songrong and Yin Yuang.

As the days passed, the summer rains finally dissipated, but the dark clouds of the battlefield were approaching.

At the Jinzhou Firearms Test Site, Xu Jie accompanied Qin Haoming and the generals of the army to inspect the firearms, and the sound of guns and explosions was endless.

Xu Jie pointed to a row of test-fired Furlong machines and said: "My lord, the technology of iron mold casting cannons has matured and can be manufactured in batches, but the temperature difference between the north is too large, and the spring and winter seasons are the most affected." ”

Qin Haoming nodded, bent down and touched the Furlong machine shell with his hand to observe it carefully.

Xu Jie said with a smile: "These are all solid iron bullets, and now with grenades and the flowering shells of the Hongyi cannon as samples, shotguns suitable for the Fran machine have also been made, but the range is only two hundred steps, do you want to take a look." ”

Qin Haoming smiled and nodded, Xu Jie said hello, and several artillery soldiers loaded and prepared, aiming at the grass crowd more than a hundred steps away in the distance.

I saw that after an artilleryman aimed, he grabbed a handle behind him and quickly took a board, and with a bang, a black shadow flew out of the cannon, exploded and shattered above the straw man's head, and a black rain swept the straw man away.

The generals behind him couldn't close their mouths open, but Qin Haoming looked at the handle and smiled at Xu Jie: "This is the design of the Smelting Bureau?" ”

Xu Jie gave a thumbs up and praised: "No wonder it's the Royal Design Institute, it's really not just talking."

There was an apprentice who learned the method of Westerner clocks, the trigger was linked to the iron gear to turn quickly, rubbing the flint at the mouth of the gunpowder pool, and directly rubbing out the spark ignition, which was very convenient. ”

Qin Haoming said with a smile: "This is their strong point, a small test, needless to say, there are many rewards."

It's just that it looks easy to use now, don't just slap the sycophants, but what's the shortcoming? ”

Xu Jie sighed: "First, we must reset the flint frequently, otherwise it will not be ignited if it idles." Second, it should not be too small, otherwise it will be difficult to rotate and cannot be used on firearms, but can only be used on artillery and small cannons. ”

Qin Haoming said with a smile: "That's enough, let's decide that the Southern Army doesn't want the garbage firearms, as long as the Furlong machine and the small cannon are powerful and easy to move, they are suitable." ”

Xu Jie frowned and said: "My lord, with the iron mold casting cannon, there is no problem in the manufacture of the Furlong machine and the small cannon, although the power is ten times and a hundred times that of the bird, but it is too iron-consuming, and I am afraid that the cost is too high." ”

Qin Haoming said disapprerovitically: "There is an iron mine in Maoshan in North Korea, and it doesn't cost a penny, just some food, why worry?" ”

Xu Jie shook his head, "North Korea is very resistant now, the last two batches of iron ore and coal have been reduced by 30%, and there has been no ship for a few days, I am afraid that it will not be given away for free." ”

Qin Haoming smiled coldly: "I'm afraid that the skin of these sticks is itchy, it's really not worry-free." Say hello to Yan Yu, is it too much to do it, do you want to change people directly?

Otherwise, let him take the sailors and soldiers on a trip, send troops to Pyongyang, and ask the Korean monarchs and ministers, when will we pay back the military expenses for them to resist slaves and restore the country? ”

After speaking, Qin Haoming ignored Xu Jie's stupidity, and walked directly to the small cannon and handmine area, picked them up and checked them one by one.

The artillerymen on the side secretly pulled Xu Jie, and Xu Jie, who came to his senses, hurriedly followed. Seeing Qin Haoming pick up the grenade, he explained:

"These are all grenades that have been improved by the War Bureau, and now they are all remade according to the adult's formula and method, and they are two or three times more powerful."

Qin Haoming nodded and asked, "What about the small cannon?" ”

Xu Jie bent down and picked up a small cannon, and said with a smile: "The shape of this small cannon is like an enlarged bird's gun, and the entire barrel is the same as the Furlong machine, all of which are cast in iron molds.

The total weight is 20 pounds, the size is customized, the front charge is charged, and the flintlock is ignited. Iron projectile, walnut-sized, custom gunpowder, 500 steps range.

Two hundred steps can kill, and one hundred steps can penetrate heavy armor, which is very sharp. If North Korea's iron ore and coal are not used, regardless of the cost, it is indeed better to use than a bird.

One person can resist walking, and if the number is sufficient, it can be described as a militaristic weapon. The disadvantage is that it is heavier than the bird's gun, it needs to be held with a barrel to aim accurately, and the ammunition and projectiles cannot be made on the spot, and they need to be replenished in the rear. ”

Qin Haoming said with satisfaction: "We just want to use firearms that are easy to carry, numerous, and powerful to crush the martial arts of Jiannu.

In addition to Zhangzidao, Phi Dao, and Jeju Island, each casting 20 Hongyi cannons, each commander of the Dingnan Army must have an artillery battalion, which is tentatively set at 50 Furlong machine gun trucks.

There are 500 small cannons, 100,000 rockets, and 100,000 grenades. There are also chain mail, fish scale armor and cotton armor that are standard for the soldiers, and everyone must have a set.

The governor will not rush you, but the faster the better, and those Korean people can also be deployed to do some rough work. ”

Xu Jie nodded silently, lamenting in his heart the suffering of the Korean people.

Tens of thousands of people were exhausted to death by cutting down trees, burning furnaces, cutting arrow shafts, and sewing armor-piercing pieces, not to mention having to dig and transport iron ore and coal for free.

The Korean monarchs and ministers, when they met such an important minister of the kingdom as Lord Qin, they really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes.

Seeing this, the generals behind Qin Haoming laughed together, touting, inviting, and playing with each other, full of hope for their future lives.

I hope that Qin Haoming really has no hope, he can do his best for the Ming Dynasty, he can fight with the Tartar coalition army in history, and he can bully the ancients with four hundred years of knowledge, my heart is at ease!
