Daming's new musket is very powerful, this is already the consensus of the grassland, which is summed up with a painful lesson. But they don't know what kind of powerful method it is, after all, when they were fighting, they were beaten and scattered before they could rush to the front.

What makes them even more shocked is that Daming attaches great importance to this new type of musket, and as Zhang Zhijie said, Daming has been making new muskets.

Whether they are sincere or false, these steppe leaders have a heavy heart in their hearts. Kushhatun exclaimed: "This new musket is really sharp and tight!" ”

Emperor Zhengde said with a smile: "That's natural, I and Zhijie have attached great importance to the development of muskets in recent years, and the Ordnance Bureau has continuously improved to have this new type of flintlock pistol." However, Zhijie said that there is still room for further improvement! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "There is a long way to go, this flintlock pistol is a semi-finished product at best, and it is still early!" However, this batch of flintlock pistols is much better than the previous ones. ”

When the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Admiral, this latest batch of flintlock pistols has indeed improved a bit!" ”

Zhang Zhijie nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it is necessary to continue to improve, keep innovating, and the craftsmen who make improvements must be rewarded!" Think boldly, experiment boldly, it doesn't matter if you fail, success is a great achievement! ”

The ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau listened respectfully to the teachings, and after Zhang Zhijie finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "You have done well in the past few years, do it well, this governor is optimistic about you!" ”

Emperor Zhengde also came up and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, do a good job, I am also optimistic about you!" ”

was patted on the shoulder by Zhang Zhijie and the emperor respectively, and the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau was about to cry with excitement, and knelt down with a puff and said: "The little one, the little one must do his best, and then die!" ”

Zhang Zhijie scolded with a smile: "What is immortal, it's serious to get the Ordnance Bureau right!" ! ”

Although the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau was kicked by Zhang Zhijie, he felt that his bones were lighter, what does this mean, this shows that the Admiral treats him as his own!

The ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau sneered and said, "Lord Admiral, the short musket you once mentioned has also been made, and I don't know if it's not!" ”

Zhang Zhijie listened with interest and said, "Oh? Take it and see! ”

It wasn't long before a craftsman came with a short musket. Although it was a short musket, it was much larger than the pistols of later generations.

Zhang Zhijie took it and sank it, after all, it was made of copper, and it was not easy to carry it around. It can be seen that this short gun is very elegantly made, and even a little gorgeous, although I don't know how powerful it is, but Zhang Zhijie likes it very much.

Seeing the short gun in Zhang Zhijie's hand, Emperor Zhengde immediately came up and wondered: "What is this?" A new musket? So short? ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "This is a shrunken flintlock pistol, so easy to carry!" ”

This kind of short gun is indeed easy to carry, not as bulky as a standard musket, and Emperor Zhengde was extremely interested: "This short gun looks good, but I don't know how powerful it is!" ”

The ambassador of the Firearms Bureau hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this short gun is still not as good as a long musket, and the effective range is only twenty steps, but the power is not small. ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "How it is, you will know it if you try it!" With that, the firearms ambassador instructed the craftsmen to move the target for the test gun to a distance of twenty paces.

After Zhang Zhijie finished loading, he raised his hand and shot, hitting the target. Zhang Zhijie looked at the target that was beaten into a disfigured shape, nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "It's not bad, although the distance is shorter, but the power is acceptable!" ”

Emperor Zhengde's eyes lit up, he reached out and took the short gun from Zhang Zhijie's hand, and began to play with it. Emperor Zhengde smiled: "This thing is really good, I will bring it back to the palace to study it!" ”

You're working on yarn! Zhang Zhijie smiled and said: "This short gun is only the first production, and it is very rough, how can it be sent to the palace?" Let the Firearms Bureau elaborate a handful and dedicate it to the emperor! ”

The ambassador of the Firearms Bureau hurriedly agreed, and Zhang Zhijie had already received the short gun from Emperor Zhengde. Emperor Zhengde looked at the musket that Zhang Zhijie was playing with, and the gilt was still inlaid with gemstones, is this rough?

Seeing that Zhang Zhijie was very precious, although Emperor Zhengde was very itchy, it was not easy to snatch it again, so he turned around and ordered the ambassador of the Firearms Bureau: "Hurry up and make a short gun and send it to the palace!" ”

The ambassador of the Firearms Bureau promised again and again that it would not be difficult to make another short gun. But that was just his assumption, for Emperor Zhengde continued: "It's better than this short gun!" ”

The ambassador of the Firearms Bureau suddenly had a big head, but what could he do? I can only respectfully come down.

Zhang Zhijie smiled and handed the short gun in his hand to the guard, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, you can't shoot continuously!" ”

Emperor Zhengde said curiously: "Can this short gun still shoot continuously?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "This crossbow has a repeating crossbow, why can't the short gun shoot continuously?" If the gunpowder is preloaded, you can keep firing as long as you keep pulling the trigger. ”

While speaking, Zhang Zhijie also gestured, and Emperor Zhengde was also overwhelmed by Zhang Zhijie's idea, and shouted: "This is good, this is amazing!" We need to hurry up to make this short gun that can shoot continuously! ”

The ambassador of the Firearms Bureau felt that his sweat was about to come down, and he shot continuously? It's so easy to make. Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "It's not limited to short guns, long muskets are also okay!" Of course, it didn't happen overnight! As Ben Governor said, there is a long way to go, so we should actively seek it! ”

The ambassador of the Firearms Bureau hurriedly responded, and Zhang Zhijie muttered: "Now that the sea has been opened, this governor will see if he can invite a few foreign scholars to come." ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled when he heard this: "Zhijie, now the muskets made by the Ming Dynasty are no worse than foreigners, so what Portuguese fleet is not beaten by sailors." Do you still need to ask foreigners again? ”

Zhang Zhijie shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, although we are catching up, there is still merit in the West being able to crisscross the four seas. ”

Emperor Zhengde nodded when he heard this and said: "The sea is inclusive, there is tolerance, and what you said is very reasonable!" ”

Even Gu Shi Hatun on the side was stunned when he heard this, the sea is tolerant of all rivers, the reason why she is willing to enter the palace as a concubine is not to hope that Daming can tolerate the grassland?

However, the tribal leaders did not have such a deep understanding, and they were still immersed in the shock of the muskets. Daming's muskets are really powerful, and they are still improving, only getting more and more powerful!

But there is no room for improvement in their cavalry, if one day the Ming really developed a musket that could fire continuously。。。。。。
