Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Powerful Gun
Li Feibai couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand the beating in the forced labor, and when the time came, what should he do at that time? When he came out this time, in view of the fact that Qian Zijun had been injured by a wild beast, he specially took a pistol and two anesthetic needles. Originally, it was to prevent beasts in the mountains, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time. The two anesthetic needles have been used up, so naturally you can't use the method of acupoints to deceive people. Although he still has a pistol in his hand, how can eight bullets stop more than 30 forced laborers? Even if he could stop it, he would be able to shoot at the forced labor? Everyone is a peasant household, a villager in the village, and they were only coerced by the governor to urge grain because they were serving in forced labor. Everyone is a hard-working person, no one has been recruited, no one has been provoked, why should they be shot! He can't do it, even if he can do it, he can't do it, isn't that revealing that he has a gun that this dynasty can't have?
So, I had to think of other ways. Ideally, you can use these forced labors for your own use. He rolled his eyes, and he had a way! Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, Deng Bantou suddenly spoke, saying: "A group of waste, everything has to be done by Lao Tzu himself." Xu saw that Jiang Guoxian had been fighting for a long time, but he still didn't have the strength to fight, so he couldn't help but do it himself.
I saw Deng Bantou put his hand into his arms, took out a thing violently, pointed at Li Feibai and said, "Do you know what this thing is?" ”
Li Feibai recognized it at a glance as a short gun, but the workmanship was really poor, the barrel was not smooth, and there was trachoma on it. The handle is not refined, as if it was carved out of a piece of elm wood, as long as it can be held tightly by hand.
He said secretly: "This short gun is so crudely made, I don't think it is a standard firearm equipped by the army, it should be imitated." It is said that the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were developed, and now it seems that this is really the case, even a small official can imitate a handful, but I don't know if it is in vain, or it can really be fired! Although he was extremely contemptuous of this short gun in his heart, and felt that compared with the pistol in his arms, it was simply compared with sand and stones, but he did not dare to be careless, and quietly aimed the gun hidden in the cuff at Deng Bantou, only waiting for Deng Bantou to have the intention of pulling the trigger, and he would strike first.
Deng Bantou saw that Li Feibai didn't care about the short gun in his hand, and said that Li Feibai was born in a peasant family and had never seen the world, so he didn't know what this thing was, so he turned a blind eye. He hated Li Feibai for obstructing, so that he could not do the work of scraping the ground at this time, although he had the heart to kill Li Feibai, he did not dare to kill people at will. After all, he came to make a fortune, and if he kills people for ill-gotten gain, there will certainly be no good fruit to eat. Therefore, as long as Li Feibai can be shocked, let him quickly plunder and leave.
He said: "I haven't seen the earthy buns in the world, this is called a short gun, used by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion in the capital, and the heavy armor of the enemy can be broken a hundred steps away from the battlefield, can your flesh and blood be able to block it?" He pointed to the trigger of his right finger with his left hand, and said, "As long as your grandfather presses here, he will immediately blast you out of a flesh hole." ”
Li Feibai smiled and said, "With such great power? Fool it. "Think of the pistol in his hand, the effective killing distance is only tens of meters. What is the concept of 100 steps, how can it be seventy or eighty meters. And what is the concept of heavy armor, it should be connected by iron pieces on it, he really can't believe that black powder can have such power.
Deng Bantou laughed and said, "You don't believe it? Today, I'm going to show you the power of the short gun in my hand. Let's see if it's your point method or the short-term weapon in my hand. He looked left and right, and saw that there was a plank behind the laborers more than a dozen paces away, so he shouted to the laborers: "Get out of the way!" ”
Several servants, who were usually servants, didn't dare to take a breath of air, and their kneecaps couldn't help but be a little softer. At this time, he saw that the black hole of the short gun in Deng Bantou's hand was facing him, and he heard that the Willy of the short gun was so big, how dare he not listen to Deng Bantou's order, and hurriedly flashed to the side.
Deng Bantou pressed the trigger, and there was a thunderclap like a flat ground, and a cloud of black smoke came out of the muzzle. The timid villagers and laborers were so frightened that they covered their ears and squatted down.
The crowd went to look at the plank, which had been blasted out of a fist-sized hole. Everyone went to see Deng Bantou again, and at this time, the black smoke in front of Deng Bantou's face had dissipated, and Deng Bantou's face was dyed gray and black by the black smoke, as if he had just come out of the stove, and he was very embarrassed. Everyone wanted to laugh, but because of Deng Bantou's usual obscenity, coupled with the power of the firearm in his hand, who dared to laugh out loud.
Li Feibai didn't expect that a shoddy firearm would have such great power, and a stunned expression appeared on his face. This is still the result of the gun's body not being tightly sealed, and the gunpowder scurrying around after exploding, and less than 50% of the 10% effect works. If the gun is sealed tighter, the power may be even greater. Therefore, I dare not underestimate the level of firearms in the Ming Dynasty.
Deng Bantou was mistaken, and said that Li Feibai was frightened by the power of the firecracker, so he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time. He shifted the mouth of the gun, pointed at Li Feibai again, and said, "What's the matter, I'm afraid!" ”
Li Feibai said secretly: "Afraid? I'm afraid of you, a big-headed ghost! You really deceived me that I was a dirt bun who had never seen the world, I didn't know that you were a single-shot firearm, and you had to reload the gunpowder projectile to fire it a second time after firing it? You have no drugged in the gun now, you just broke the trigger, and you won't fire another shot, what am I afraid of! Could it be that you are afraid that you will smash me with the fire gun in your hand? ”
Deng Bantou turned his head to Jiang Guoxian and said: "He is now being pointed at by me with a gun, and he will never dare to move at will, and he will not let your people take him down quickly!" ”
Jiang Guoxian came back from the shock and shouted: "He was shocked by Deng Bantou's divine weapon, and he didn't dare to move again, and the big guy went up and took him down." ”
The laborers also felt that Deng Bantou had this artifact in his hands, and Li Feibai didn't dare to move it in vain even if he had a little acupuncture method. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly heard Li Feibai say: "Wait! They all stopped again to see what Li Feibai was going to say?
Li Feibai said: "Deng Bantou, you can have a food ticket when you come to urge food." ”
Deng Bantou said: "What if there is? So what! ”
Li Feibai said: "You have a food stamp, which means that you are ordered by the county order and are on a business trip, so we naturally have to pay the imperial grain as shown on the food stamp." If you don't have a food stamp, why should we listen to your payment of the imperial grain? In case, you came out to do nonsense without the county order, and filled your own pocket with the grain, and two days later, there was a bad master with a food reminder ticket to urge, what should you do? ”
When the forced servants and the villagers heard this, they nodded their heads and whispered, "It's not that there is no such possibility!" ”
Deng Bantou was suspected of impersonating food and urging food, he was really annoyed, gritted his teeth and said: "Presumptuous! Lao Tzu's face is urging food stamps, how can he fill his pockets. ”
Li Feibai shook his head and said: "Deng Bantou came to urge the grain, we paid the imperial grain, take a look at the food reminder ticket, this request is not too much!" ”
Most of the laborers and the villagers nodded their heads slightly.
How did Deng Bantou not know that there was no medicine or bullet in the short gun in his hand. At this time, he pointed at Li Feibai with a gun, completely bluffing, and deceived Li Feibai into not knowing that the short gun could only shoot one shot, and if he wanted to shoot the second shot, he had to reload the ammunition. He saw that Li Feibai had to see the food stamps, but he didn't let him see them, if Li Feibai gave it a go, he would be exposed. Since you can collect the imperial grain in full just by looking at the food stamps, then why bother!
He took out the grain urging ticket from the belt around his waist, put it in front of him and shook it at Li Feibai and the villagers, and said: "The food urging ticket is here, and it is stamped with the big seal of the yamen, can it be fake?" ”
