Liang Menglong and Wu Dui were reversed, and they had returned to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the military department for more than half a month, and they had only met Zhang You once, while Qi Jiguang had returned to Beijing for military affairs and had just arrived this morning.

are all old acquaintances, especially Qi Jiguang, who has a relationship with Guo Zaoqing, and Zhang You are even closer, and now they are reunited, and they are happy.

There is no need to elaborate on the words of greeting, Tang Erzhuang and the others looked at the words and stepped forward to salute.

"Zicheng, they are all the elite under the old man's command, you can't treat them badly," Qi Jiguang said with a smile, and then changed the conversation: "Of course, they are all veterans, if you dare to mistreat you, don't be polite to them, the military stick is serving, just like this Bi Hongquan, he is smart, and he has a lot of problems, and he has repeatedly violated military discipline. ”

Qi Jiguang is the person Bi Hongquan respects the most, and when he heard this, he smiled and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Don't be afraid of mistakes, change them slowly, it's better than those who can only talk about it," Zhang You said with a smile, glancing at Bi Hongquan: "Qi Shuai praises you for being smart, tell me, what a smart method?" ”

Bi Hongquan scratched his head, smiled, and said, "Dashuai is joking, don't take it seriously, adult." ”

"Yo, the stinky boy is still modest? It's rare! Qi Jiguang smiled and teased, and said to Zhang You: "You see that he is thin, he seems to be inconspicuous like a monkey, don't underestimate him, there are many ghost ideas, what he is best at is to hide his tracks according to various complex terrains, in addition, this kid is also very skillful, he made a musket by himself, the barrel is very long, and it is very strong, and the range can reach more than 200 steps at the farthest, and he has used this musket to kill a thousand commanders of the barbarians remotely......

"Where's the musket?" Zhang You hurriedly interrupted Qi Jiguang, according to what he said, isn't this kid a sniper known as the "battlefield ghost" in the army in later generations.

During this time, Zhang You did not deal with firearms, and knew that most of the effective shooting distances of the firearms assembled by the troops at this moment were about fifty steps, and now the one step that people say is different from the one step in later generations, referring to the distance of one step each of the left and right feet, one step is almost equivalent to one meter to one meter and two in later generations, and if fifty steps are converted into meters, it is about equivalent to sixty meters.

According to Qi Jiguang, the range of the musket made by Bi Hongquan is actually four times that of an ordinary musket, so it is no wonder that he is interested.

"What are you doing stupidly? Hurry up and show it to Master Zhang! Qi Jiguang urged, and Bi Hongquan reacted at this time, and hurriedly trotted to get the musket.

He was very fast, and with little effort he resisted the musket and returned.

This musket is indeed different from ordinary muskets, the barrel is very long, at least one meter five, blue, black, blue, black, flashing black, very smooth to the touch, heavy in the hand, very pressing. In addition, there is a crosshair at each end of the barrel, which is not found in those ordinary muskets, Zhang You flattened it, squinted his eyes and looked at it, three points and one line, it really felt like a later gun.

Due to the problem of iron-making process, the general explosion rate of today's muskets is too high, and the musketeers will not use it at all like the guns used in later generations, but after lighting the fuse, holding the handle, how far and how far it stretches, in this way, the examples of blowing up the hand are still endless, so naturally there is no need for a crosshair.

The development of steelmaking technology is the foundation of industrial development in later generations, but unfortunately Zhang You doesn't know anything about it, and Gewu Institute has raised a few clever blacksmiths, who want to give pointers, but they can't point out.

"And the things that are aiming, aren't you afraid of exploding?" He asked.

Bi Hongquan was very shocked, he thought that the quasi-star was his own invention, Zhang You definitely didn't know what it was for, but he didn't expect to be seen through by him at a glance, and couldn't help but say with admiration: "The adult is worthy of being the head of the Gewu Institute, and he can see the role of the villain's small design at a glance...... The villain's musket is different from the ordinary one, and it has been done for a year, and the barrel is sturdy, so you don't have to worry about exploding the chamber at all. ”

Qi Jiguang interjected: "This kid once worked as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop, this barrel was built by him himself, and he used no less than 100 catties of iron for a year, and it was indeed strong, just the same, time-consuming and laborious, and the cost was high, even if the manpower and man-hours and materials were all counted, I am afraid that there will be no less than 100 taels of silver......

"Qi Shuai, I finally understand the purpose of you sending Lao Bi to me, and the co-author is here for my identity as the head of Gewu." Zhang You's inspiration flickered, and said with a wry smile.

Bi Hongquan was stunned, I see, I was still unwilling, it seems that I misunderstood Dashuai. He had long been interested in promoting the forging technology he had discovered, and at this moment he suddenly found that the person who could help him was in front of him, but he almost offended people to death, and he couldn't help but regret it more and more, and at the same time, looking at Zhang You's eyes, he was full of expectation.

Qi Jiguang laughed and said: "I can't hide anything from you, since you can see it, the old man won't hide it, send this kid, the old man is indeed selfish, and he came over with Lord Liang today, in fact, it is also for this." ”

Liang Menglong coughed lightly and said: "Yuan Jing is right, I have heard that since the opening of the Gewu Institute, it has been committed to the research and development of firearms. ”

"The two bosses are trying to torment me," Zhang You said politely, stretching out his hand and leading: "Talking here is not a way of hospitality, let's go to the living room and talk...... Old Tang, you take the brothers to familiarize yourself with our training ground first, and Lao Bi, you go to boil water and make tea for the two adults. ”

Bi Hongquan trotted away, and Liang Menglong said with a smile: "The conditions are simple enough, why don't you even have an envoy?" ”

"Isn't this the day to pick a good move, I'm in a hurry to come over and train these people sent to me by Qi Shuai, and I moved in first."

Liang Menglong and Qi Jiguang's personal soldiers didn't come over, they were all familiar with Tang Erzhuang, and when they saw the adults leaving, they stepped forward to speak, pointing at the strange-shaped training equipment in the courtyard from time to time.

"I didn't expect Zicheng to understand the way of military training, it's really both civil and military, but these things used for training, why do you look so strange?" Liang Menglong asked, his tone was very polite, but Zhang You heard the suspicion in it, and said with a smile as he walked forward: "Lord Liang is smiling, it's all my blind thinking, it doesn't work, I don't know yet." ”

Entering the living room while speaking, Li Yan was embarrassed by Zhang You, and couldn't help but interject: "Don't listen to my lords, two adults, my lords made a bet with me, saying that if they are improved according to his training methods, the power of the mandarin duck array will at least double." ”

"Oh, and that matter?" Liang Menglong and Qi Jiguang were about to sit down, but they all stopped when they heard the words.
