First, the third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

Qin Haoming stayed in the Gushan camp for more than ten days, in addition to the construction of the army, he was in and out of the adjacent military battle bureau.

The Military Bureau is located in the Drum Mountain of Fuzhou, built according to the direction of the mountain, hovering in the middle of the mountain. The field of vision is broad, the terrain is steep, and most of them are hidden in the cave, and it is difficult for outsiders to discover the hidden mysteries.

Moreover, it is only three or four kilometers away from the Drum Mountain Battalion, which is very convenient for future defensive support.

After half a year's construction, the Bureau of Military Operations has been completed and put into use, and the flintlock pistols and fixed ammunition originally developed at Xuanda have also been finalized.

In the past, Daming's troops used firearms, but Qin Haoming was not satisfied. Later, in the case of being tall in the scarlet, Lu Mi was selected as the standard weapon of the army.

However, although the Lu Mi gun has the characteristics of small caliber and longer range than ordinary Ming firearms, it also has many bad shortcomings.

For example, it has a shortcoming that Qin Haoming hates the most, and it is also a common problem of all smoothbore guns, that is, there is no rifling in the barrel, so that the accuracy of this gun can make people crazy.

A hundred rounds of bullets came through, facing an enemy who was only less than a hundred paces away, and generally only twenty or thirty buckshot bullets hit the target, and the rest of the bullets did not know where to go.

Therefore, since Qin Haoming arrived in Daming, he has not paid attention to the use of firearms. Instead, it is up to the preferences of the soldiers, and they can use it if they want to, without pulling it down.

And now the War Bureau and Qin Haoming together to restructure flintlock pistols and fixed ammunition, which were named Huaxia Yishi, after repeated tests, excellent performance, no danger of exploding, and officially began to equip the troops.

In winter, the Drum Mountain is blue, and the sun shines warmly.

On the periphery of the military battle bureau, Li Xiang sent an elite team of 100 people to control and defend it layer by layer.

Inside, with the sound of "squeak ......", the door of the arsenal slowly opened, and dozens of soldiers quickly entered, moved out boxes of goods, and walked out of it.

Xu Jie, Wang Dali and other craftsmen couldn't suppress the joy on their faces, and followed Lord Qin Du, waiting for the moment of review.

The box was pried open, and the first 1,000 flintlock pistols and fixed ammunition were revealed.

Under Qin Haoming's signal, Xu Jie took the gun handed over by the craftsman and proudly introduced it to the guards and said:

"Soldiers, the Huaxia I type ordered this time has a caliber of 19.8 mm, a gun length of 1560 mm, a gun weight of 5.69 kilograms, and a projectile weight of 32.1 grams.

Since this bullet is slightly smaller than the caliber of the gun, it solves the embarrassing situation that the bullet cannot be stuffed or blocked the barrel due to the large size of the bullet when loading.

Fixed-loading bullets can be easily pushed into the chamber with a ram lever, which greatly increases the rate of fire. The bullet is threaded around the body to match rifling, and the middle of the thread is stuffed with animal oil.

When fired, gunpowder gases hit the cork, and the cork was hit by an instantaneous impact, and then the bullet was violently propped up.

Because the bullet is propped up, the chamber can be sealed by the bullet itself at the moment of firing, without leaking gunpowder gases and causing the kinetic energy of the bullet to be lost.

As a result, the rate of fire, range and safety of the gun were greatly enhanced......

Rest assured, each gun has the name of the craftsman of the War Bureau, and you don't have to think about the danger of exploding......"

Xu Jie talked eloquently, and some nouns that obviously did not belong to this era were also clearly spit out from his mouth. The emaciated cheeks are always full of pride and pride, and there are many days of hard work.

But all this, with the admiration in the eyes of the soldiers, everything has been gained.

After Xu Jie finished speaking, the gun in his solemn hand was handed over to Qin Haoming and asked him to review it.

Qin Haoming took over the Huaxia formula, which weighed about ten catties, and the excitement in his heart can be imagined.

"Test guns begin!"

Facing everyone's eager gaze, Qin Haoming was no longer hypocritical, but just spit out a few simple words.

Everyone was excited, and under the leadership of Xu Jie, they walked to their own shooting range of the Military Bureau.

The shooting range of the War Bureau was clearly cleared today, and the empty back was empty.

"Hurry up and put a target in front of you and put it three hundred paces away."

When he arrived at the venue, Xu Jie bowed his head and ordered.

"Oh...... Yes...... My lord, are you mistaken, it's thirty steps away. ”

When the guards at the scene heard Xu Jie's words, they were immediately taken aback.

Xu Jie smiled indifferently, just waved his hand, and the apprentice of the War Bureau tacitly carried a target the size of a round table for dinner, and put it away three hundred steps away.

After seeing that the target was placed, everyone watched all this with amazement.

Then a professional person from the War Bureau ran over and took the gun from Xu Jie.

Methodically, he took out the ammunition and loaded the bullet, poured it into the barrel, stabbed it a few times with a long strip, and then picked up the gun and aimed at the target in front of him through the crosshair.

The people around them were holding their breath, for them, if they put the target so far away, they probably couldn't even rub the skin of the target, let alone what kind of lethality?

In the midst of all the attention, the test gun personnel held their breath, watched the target in front of them gently pull the trigger, and the "bump" of the gun, a familiar recoil from the butt of the gun crashed into the shoulder of the test gun.

Qin Haoming squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and said softly: "Let's go, let's go see the target!" ”

When everyone followed Qin Haoming to the target, everyone gasped.

"Shhh...... It can't be true, right? Or hell today? ”

Li Xiang rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the target in front of him again.

It was a target made of cedar, two inches thick, and now there was a small hole in the center of the fir wood, and the bullet was gone.

When Qin Haoming walked behind the target to observe, after some search by everyone, he finally found the lead bullet that had been twisted into a shape more than ten steps behind the target.

"Your Excellency, ...... It's so godly, what kind of gun is this? ”

Li Xiang was suppressed, as he had been tested by war for a long time, but he knew very well that this was definitely an epoch-making firearm.

Being able to penetrate a two-inch-thick cedar at a distance of 300 paces means that it can also penetrate those soldiers wearing three layers of heavy armor at this distance.

The most important thing is that it is not as inaccurate as the original firecracker, and using it to engage the enemy means that it is going to fight wherever it is!

Li Xiang couldn't imagine what level of combat effectiveness would rise if the whole army was equipped with this kind of firearms.

Qin Haoming looked at everyone's stupid appearance and suddenly laughed.

Hitting a distant target at this distance proves that the Huaxia Type not only has a considerable shooting distance, but also has an accuracy that is close to or has reached the standard of a rifle during the First World War.

It can be said that before smokeless gunpowder, thunder mercury, fire caps and breech-loading rifles came out, the flintlock pistol, which had been modified in guns and bullets, was the king of the battlefield, and no gun could compare with it.

With this weapon, he is already invincible in this era.

Haozi and the other guards asked with their eyes lit up: "Governor Qin, when will we all replace this thing?" It's too exciting, a killing distance of 300 steps! Killing Tartars with this thing isn't like playing! ”

"We'll have to wait a while for the whole army to change their clothes. However, you let the guards and the night team temporarily merge and equip the training first. Qin Haoming patted Haozi on the shoulder and said slowly.

"Long live Qin Du!"

The shooting range resounded with the cheers of the crowd, and some people shouted and screamed.

Qin Haoming was slightly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly reprimanded: "Bastard, dare to say such things, aren't you afraid that the court will blame you?" ”

Li Xiang touched his head and said with a smile: "My lord said that he was joking, all of them here are their own brothers, who will leak my words, everyone said yes, right?" ”

Haozi also hurriedly said: "Thanks to the love of adults, one by one, they have become hundreds, thousands of households, wardens or something, and no matter how bad they are, they have built a house and are ready to marry a daughter-in-law, are these all given by the imperial court?"

If you want me to say, these are bullshit, only following adults is the right reason, isn't this the reason? ”

"That's it, follow the adults to get ahead!" The crowd chimed in.

Even Xu Jie and the craftsmen of the War Bureau nodded as if they were taken for granted.

You must know that Qin Du spent more than one million yuan to help them set up the workshop and dormitory supervisor of the War Bureau, so that everyone can live, have clothes to wear, food to eat, and respect, which was unimaginable in the original.

After carefully observing the expressions of several of his subordinates, Qin Hao was clearly convinced that what they said was sincere.

It seems that the strongest bond is to use feelings and interests, if one day even if they turn against the court, these people should be on their side......
