What, this was invented by the emperor again? Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou were a little surprised. The two of them stepped forward together, looked at the gun in Bi Maokang's hand, and couldn't help but praise: "Yes, good gun!" ”

When Bi Maokang heard this, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Emperor Chongzhen, and secretly said shamelessly in his heart, as soon as he heard that it was the emperor's guidance, he ran over to praise the good gun, what is good about you if you have the ability? I don't believe it, the rifling is pulled in the chamber of the gun, and you two can see through it at a glance?

If Bi Maokang really said so many words, Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou would definitely be embarrassed. However, although he is a technical official, he still has this common sense of being a man, and he doesn't break it, he just turns his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen, waiting for the will.

Emperor Chongzhen also smiled in his heart, then nodded and said, "Bi Qing, let them open their eyes!" ”

From the fact that Bi Maokang was able to bring the gun so solemnly, he knew that Bi Maokang must have tested it in advance, and he was sure that this gun had something to praise, that is, the advantages he knew, which should have been verified. In that case, let's give it a try.

After receiving the will, Bi Maokang turned his head and called his family again, and instructed the family to start the operation. Then he turned his head, smiled and said to the two generals who were watching: "Old, old, very sure you have to do it yourself." ”

"What do you say?" Mao Yuanyi shook his head with a smile and said, "But let them do this kind of rough work better." ”

The mouth is polite, but the eyes are fixed on the movements of the family. After watching it for a while, Mao Yuanyi suddenly felt extremely surprised, what's going on? What is the lead bullet doing so much, and which hammer is needed to knock the strip to the bottom of the lead bullet? This...... This way of reloading makes the reloading speed too slow, right?

Mao Yuanyi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zu Dashou on the side, and found that he was also looking over. Both of them saw the confusion in each other's eyes, and the improved version of the flintlock pistol was like that?

Mao Yuanyi couldn't figure it out in his heart, and turned his head to look at the emperor again, only to find that the emperor was looking at the operation with a smile, and he didn't seem to realize that the loading speed was extremely slow.

Emperor Chongzhen saw the confusion on Mao Yuanyi's face when he turned his head to look at him, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Mao Qing doesn't need to worry, just look at it!" ”

"It's the minister who is in a hurry!" Mao Yuanyi was a little embarrassed, and after admitting it, he turned his head and continued to watch Bi Maokang's operation.

Judging from the whole process, the difference between this so-called improved flintlock pistol and the ordinary flintlock pistol is actually that the lead bullet is larger, which seems to be larger than the hole of the gun. This is the so-called improved flintlock pistol? It's just an improvement to buckshot! But this lead bullet is a little bigger, can it also be called an improvement?

In fact, not only Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou think like this, but everyone else, including Li Dingguo, thinks like this. They wondered. But the Emperor has already spoken, so he can only wait to see what tricks this flintlock pistol can play!

When Bi Maokang's family was ready, and when he walked to the shooting range station, the flintlock muskemers standing in line next to him and the arquebusiers standing opposite them stared at him curiously, wanting to see a flower, what was the difference? However, they were clearly disappointed!

And here, seeing Emperor Chongzhen nodding his head, Bi Maokang said to the nearest Jinyi guard captain who was driving beside him: "Go and let them move the target twice as farther!" ”

The captain of the brocade guard who accompanied him was naturally a little knowledgeable. As soon as he heard Bi Maokang's words, he couldn't help but pause, wondering if he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously, he went to seek the right answer and turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen.

Not only him, but Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou, who were standing on the side, also had an idea with him, moving twice as far, what does it mean? Can you still hit the target? It's impossible!

The flintlock musketeers and arquebusiers have already competed just now, and at the current range, they are all three or four out of nine average hit rates, if you move it farther and double, hehe......

However, Emperor Chongzhen had a calm face, and did not seem to surprise him, and nodded to the brocade-clothed guard captain.

Since the emperor had allowed it, the captain of the brocade guard didn't care about the exaggerated distance, and immediately ran to the shooting range and said to a small flag in charge over there. Even if it is far away from here, it is difficult to hear what is being said, but from the expression of the little flag, you can feel that the little flag was also shocked by the request to move farther away.

And the flintlock pistolster Xu Wenbo and others even wrote their surprise on their faces. Even forgot for a moment that the emperor was looking at this side not far away, looked at each other, and found that the other party was the same as himself, that is, he heard correctly.

Move twice as far, how can this still hit the target! Isn't this an alignment, but something else?

The arquebusiers were slightly less disciplined than the flintlock pissiers, and some of them even questioned it. When the man heard this, he turned his head to look at them, his face obviously disdainful, and in addition to a little smugness.

After a while, the target was twice as far away, and everything was ready. Bi Maokang saluted Emperor Chongzhen, then looked at Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou, and said with a smile of pride: "Two generals, look! ”

Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou were suspicious in their hearts, turned their heads to look, and saw that after an order was given, they started shooting over there, then reloaded, and then shot, and a total of nine targets were completed.

The loading of this flintlock pistol is really a bit slow, even if Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou are both generals, they can be regarded as calm. But at this time, they felt that the nine shots had been fought for a long time, and for the first time they felt a little impatient to wait.

After finishing the work, the Ming sergeant on the other side of the target lit up the flag, which made everyone's jaws drop in shock. The target has doubled its distance, and it is still six out of nine? This...... It's blinding!

"Your Majesty, the last general wants to test the target!" Mao Yuanyi came back to his senses and immediately bowed down and played.

Emperor Chongzhen hadn't spoken yet, but Bi Maokang on the side had already said with a smile: "If you don't say anything, I will also ask people to present the target to Your Majesty's Imperial Review!" ”

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was also in a good mood, he said with a smile: "What, Mao Qing doesn't believe it, why don't I make a bet with Qing?" ”

As soon as he heard this, with Mao Yuanyi's understanding of the emperor, he immediately believed it, and naturally he didn't dare to bet with the emperor. After the target was taken, it was correct!

At this moment, the emotions of Mao Yuanyi, Zu Dashou and others were immediately ignited, and the two of them asked to lend them the improved flintlock pistol for observation. For this requirement, it is natural to meet the two of them.

After some inspection, Mao Yuanyi finally found the difference, and he said in surprise: "Why is there a scratch on the inner wall of this gun?" ”

"Hehe, the reason why this flintlock pistol can hit far and accurately is the mystery lies in this scratch, that is, on the rifling." Bi Maokang said with a smile, "And this is what Your Majesty instructed!" ”
