The predecessor of the Kentucky rifle was the Jaeger rifle, which came from Germany, and the effective range of the Jaeger rifle was 274 meters, which was 3 times that of the musket of the same period, of course, not to mention the hit rate, anyway, everyone could not afford to be injured...... Sure enough, it is produced in Germany, and it must be a high-quality product. But most of the Jaeger rifles are the private property of the soldiers, and their design and decoration are quite different because of the personal preferences of the soldiers, so the behavior of a certain corporal and the problem of the Third Reich in World War II has historical origins, fine but not unified, scattered but not much, as if it is a brand flowing in the blood of the German nation, centuries of you fight for me, countless heroes and heroes, Ming monarchs and saints in all corners of Germany have spent their energy and talents on division and internal friction, wasting the spirit and strength of German, Like Charles V, like Wallenstein......

Ahem, it's far away. Now Ferdinand was still dreaming about Columbus's SM and Gonzalo's line to be shot...... No, it was he who invented it and gave Gonzalo to carry out the line of shooting.

So why ripped the Kentucky rifle at the front? This gun has undergone some evolution, Ferdinand's is the rifled version, of course, the rifling may also have problems, but that is a big deal not to rifling, and it saves the process...... As for whether it is better to be smoothbore or rifled, let it be verified by the exercise......

The Kentucky Long Rifle is actually another name for the Pennsylvania Long Rifle. In the arquebuses of this era, reloading was a big problem, and one shot was fired in two or three minutes...... Not to mention the hit rate......

The Kentucky rifle (which is the same thing as before) was modified by the pioneers, with a smaller caliber, a longer barrel, and a stock, and the bullet was wrapped in greased cloth or leather to facilitate breech loading. The technique of "stabbing the barrel of the gun through the strip" has been applied, so that you can shoot once in thirty or forty seconds, three or four times the rate of fire, how do you let others play?

……

In addition, the guns that are now made are equipped with the three-point, one-line sights used after the Civil War (the lack of sights may also be a reason for the low hit rate) (note: these two places are uncertain, and they can be sprayed lightly)

……

On October 13, 1492, Ferdinand, yawning, fired the seventh to twelfth flintlock muskets in human history, with ringed targets of about 7, 8, and 9 rings. The average score is about 8 rings. "Will you hit the bull's-eye next?" Originally, it was just a joke, but Gonzalo thought it was narcissism, so he pestered (narcissism also has a limit, is it really a joke, Ferdinand lamented), had to yawn as an excuse, and finally avoided the glory of firing the 13th flintlock pistol bullet in human history, which was fired by Gonzalo with a depressed face (13, well, with Western thinking, don't think about some kind of dirty interpretation in the East, that primitive pictographic font should be withdrawn from the stage of history), However, he achieved excellent results, almost to 9 rings, and the latter can finally raise his eyebrows once.

Speaking of Isabella, Ferdinand, and Gonzalo, a very interesting situation is that the three were born in 1451, 1452, and 1453 respectively, and are 41, 40, and 39 years old this year...... The industry has long been decided......

Expanding the middle-income class is the foundation of social stability. It is true that the dumbbell social structure with the disparity between the rich and the poor is in danger, and the "onion-headed" social structure with the large middle and lower classes cannot be optimistic, but only the "olive-shaped" social structure with the majority of the middle class is a vision worth hoping for.

…… If you think about it, isn't it a joke? Isabella and Gonzalo are both talented and characteristic, that is, Ferdinand, and then the situation has already been said at that time...... Then look at how Ferdinand was jealous and dissatisfied with Gonzalo after Isabella's death...... Gonzalo and Ferdinand died in 1515 and 1516, Marshal Gonzalo lived a frank life, even if he admired Princess Isabella (who was a princess at the time), he only thought about it in his head, and was suspected of all kinds of Ferdinand, and he may have a trace of displeasure in his heart, and he took a different kind of revenge when he was dying, of course, he was also sincere: you guy, you didn't have a green hat, and you said that you had a green hat, and said that it was because of me, and all kinds of suspicions and ...... Okay, buddy, I'll send you a top - "My third regret, only God knows ......" Gonzalo's three regrets, the first two have already been said, this third, the first two regrets that connect him, and then think of Gonzalo's life experience...... For those who have a heart, the true meaning is self-evident.

"That's why I'm a big stalw...... it's a great situation right now."

The ways and means of queuing up to be shot, countless powerful predecessors have already said it, and there is no need to go into details, if there is a mistake, it is not beautiful. However, socket bayonets were indispensable, allowing musketeers to defend themselves without depriving them of the opportunity to use their firepower.

Today it was time to load the bayonets, have the trusted royal guards (to prevent leaks) compare, and then start practicing the line of shooting from the trusted royal guards, leaving the matter to Cisneros and not Gonzalo, who was told that the gun could not be fully or mass-equipped for a long time (about ten years) due to production problems. Gonzalo didn't know about the line to be shot.

Speaking of Sisneros, don't underestimate the old clergyman, the future cardinal, who captured Oran in 1509 at the age of 73!

In fact, production capacity is not the main issue. After all, even if the production capacity is limited, the Italian war can still put together a large-scale musketeer. But Ferdinand was unwilling to interfere meaninglessly in history, anyway, history could win, and the Kingdom of Naples was in his pocket, so why rush for a while?

Waiting in line to be shot, Ferdinand had to wait more than 20 years for European countries to appreciate its style, he aimed to build an elite musketeer team of no less than 50,000 people, the Spanish army in the flintlock era will show its skills for the first time in the war to annex Portugal, Ferdinand in Europe, there is a timetable for several wars that must be fought - first solve the problem with France, that is, the belonging of Naples and Navarre, both of which Spain cannot give up, and have been taken in history, Alto Navarre is still Spanish territory today, and the question of sovereignty is not a negotiable one, so Ferdinand will fight with France until 1516 until the Peace of Noyon fully establishes the occupation of Haut-Navarre and Naples, and the flintlock will appear, attacking and annexing Portugal in 1517 (which is also on the safe side, historically Ferdinand died in 1516, which is certainly not possible now, but just in case), and then attacking England when King Henry passed the Supreme Act of Illegal Divorce. After a naval battle with the Ottomans, Spain would have been at peace in Europe for 240 years until the Napoleonic Wars.

Therefore, in the next 25 years, the Spanish phalanx will still be an important weapon, the method of war was created by Gonzalo during the Italian War, Gonzalo had setbacks in the early stage, which helped his military career and attainments, and Spain rarely controlled the Kingdom of Naples for a long time in a stable manner, Ferdinand did not want to let the chaotic Italian war give birth to variables, before conquering the whole of America, Spain was still low-key in continental Europe (excluding Iberia and the British Isles), and France made a few comparisons, and it was enough to defend sovereignty. Since it was certainly available in history, and now, the situation will only be good and not bad, and there is no need to use your hole cards on Italy and France too early. Ferdinand's Spain had three important tasks, one was the conquest of the Americas, the other was the Industrial Revolution, and the other was the annexation of Portugal. Others, even the war against Britain against the Ottomans were secondary objectives.

Ferdinand was cautious about the butterfly effect, trying not to change the course of the history of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean in favor of Spain.

Let's let Gonzalo and the Spanish phalanx develop normally.

The edge of the sword is sharpened!
