Chapter 16: Winter is not good
Lu Xiangsheng and the others also eagerly followed behind Emperor Chongzhen, they now also very much want to know how the experiment will be effected this time, after all, this is the equipment they will use in the future, and the good or bad are closely related to them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The group soon came to the scene, and when they saw the crater caused by the new Tiger Zun cannon, everyone gasped.
Especially Lu Xiangsheng and Li Banghua, the two of them were simply overjoyed, with such good equipment, it would be difficult to imagine the combat effectiveness of the troops!
Emperor Chongzhen was also in a good mood, and he also thought that there would be such power, it seems that Xu Guangqi was attentive. Looking back at Xu Guangqi, he looked like an old god was there, obviously he had been prepared for a long time, and Emperor Chongzhen suddenly smiled faintly.
It's a circular crater, which is generally a regular circle, but the depth is not deep, and the deepest part is only half a meter. However, the coverage area is really large, with a diameter of five meters, and traces of shelling can be seen everywhere.
"Your Majesty, what a good thing!" Lu Xiangsheng came to Emperor Chongzhen's side and said with a smile.
Glancing at him, Emperor Chongzhen smiled meaningfully: "Do you want to get good things in your hands?" Saying that, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Lu Xiangsheng's chest meaningfully, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of handing it over.
Smiling wryly, Lu Xiangsheng put his hand into his arms, took out the monocular, and put his hands into the hands of Emperor Chongzhen.
"Look at your little bit of interest!" Emperor Chongzhen glared at Lu Xiangsheng, how could he be a Confucian general who was originally Si Swenwen, but after arriving at the barracks, he became more and more like a ruffian? Can the barracks change people? But Li Banghua still has a dead fish face!
Shaking his head, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Yours are indispensable, I will bring you some when the time comes, this one is mine, I can't give it to you!" ”
Hearing Emperor Chongzhen say that he had his own, Lu Xiangsheng was immediately overjoyed, pinched his hands, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, but I don't know when I can give it to my ministers?" The minister's side is compiling and training the new army's tactics, and with such an ordnance, it is just right for it. ”
Too lazy to deal with Lu Xiangsheng, Emperor Chongzhen directly instructed Xu Guangqi: "Go, pull out the remaining few cannons, shoot a cannon, let me see the power!" ”
Xu Guangqi nodded, and soon someone pulled out the three Frankie cannons and tested them one by one.
Lu Xiangsheng's saliva flowed out, and he kept jumping up and down, in short, he had an idea, that is, he hoped that Emperor Chongzhen would give him these cannons. For these things, Lu Xiangsheng almost rolled around, which opened Emperor Chongzhen's eyes.
Soon, two rectangular wooden chests were lifted out, and the lids of the chests were opened, revealing that they were all filled with hay.
The beast lifted the grass, and a newly-made gun leaked out of it, exuding a cold glow.
Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand to pick up one, looked at the rifling, looked at the dragon's head, nodded with satisfaction, and handed it to the person behind him: "Equip me with a shot, let me try the power of this gun, and see if it has a miraculous effect." ”
The people behind did not dare to slack off, led the gunpowder in, then put in the Mini bullet, and finally handed the gun to Emperor Chongzhen.
Reaching out to pick up the gun, Emperor Chongzhen found that this gun had been installed with a crosshair, although it was not as accurate as the scope, but it could also shoot accurately. Aiming at a target not far away, Emperor Chongzhen directly pulled the trigger.
A puff of green smoke rose, accompanied by a crisp gunshot, and the distant target was directly splashed with sawdust.
"The emperor has good marksmanship!" Xu Guangqi hurriedly reached out to take the gun, and said with a smile.
Nodding with satisfaction, Emperor Chongzhen said appreciatively: "Not bad, not bad, really good, the accuracy is very high, the recoil is not large, good gun!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng was already salivating on the side, and he couldn't wait to snatch the gun in Xu Guangqi's hand directly, but because Emperor Chongzhen was by his side, he really managed to do it.
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's appearance, Emperor Chongzhen smiled, asked people to load another shot, and then handed the gun to Lu Xiangsheng, and personally talked about the difference between a flintlock pistol and an arquebus, as well as the difference between a flintlock pistol and a smoothbore gun with rifling in his hand.
After figuring it out, Lu Xiangsheng almost didn't fall off, and there is such a gun?
The previous guns were not only troublesome in ignition, but also afraid of rain and moisture, but the new guns completely did not have such worries. The key problem is to be able to aim and shoot, thinking that he can kill a cavalryman with one shot, Lu Xiangsheng feels his blood boiling.
Even if you can't hit someone, you can hit a horse! The war horse is such a big target, if it hits the horse's body, even if it can't be killed, the war horse will definitely run around! As long as the cavalry's formation is out of order, how much power can be left?
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's excited appearance, Emperor Chongzhen only had to pour a basin of cold water on Lu Xiangsheng.
With the strength of the imperial court, this kind of gun has no way to be mass-produced, or mass-produced, the first batch is only 3,000, and as for the follow-up, I don't know when it will be launched, which makes Lu Xiangsheng quite anxious, and he almost has to reason with Xu Guangqi.
Fortunately, the flintlock pistol with a smoothbore temporarily made up for Lu Xiangsheng's resentment, and Lu Xiangsheng was a little reluctant to let go of a gun on his back.
Leaving the test site, the group returned to the firearms factory, Emperor Chongzhen sat down directly, looked at the few people present, and slowly said: "The matter of the firearms factory, everyone must be tight-lipped after they go back, as for these produced firearms." ”
Hearing Emperor Chongzhen mention this batch of equipment, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly raised his head, with a bit of hope on his face.
Emperor Chongzhen smiled, did not disappoint him, and said directly: "All allocated to Jingying!" As he spoke, he said to Lu Xiangsheng: "After Aiqing goes back, choose a good candidate, organize and train the new army, I will give you a soldier training manual, and you will study it carefully after you go back!" ”
"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will not let the emperor down!" Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said loudly.
nodded with satisfaction, Emperor Chongzhen was still very satisfied with Lu Xiangsheng's attitude. When he went back, he was going to give Lu Xiangsheng a set of infantry drill manuals, artillery and infantry coordinated combat command, and so on, and Emperor Chongzhen believed that these materials would definitely play a great role in Lu Xiangsheng's hands.
As the emperor, he inspected the firearms factory, and naturally wanted to express his condolences, which was basically similar to that of later generations.
Under Xu Guangqi's arrangement, he met with the heroes of the firearms factory, said some words of encouragement, and gave some rewards to encourage everyone to make persistent efforts, and then Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace, and left the rest to Xu Guangqi and Lu Xiangsheng to do it themselves.
Back at the palace, Emperor Chongzhen was also tired enough, and he didn't watch the twists and turns, so he went back to rest directly.
Shaanxi sacrifice, Wang Er's big village, Wang Er sat alone on the top of the mountain, with a jar of wine between his legs, looking into the distance with a dark look, and picking up the wine jar from time to time to take a sip.
"It's very cold, why do you still come here to sit and let the slave family look for a long time!" A woman's voice sounded behind Wang Er, with a little concern and a little complaint.
Without waiting for Wang Er to say anything, he felt that someone was wearing a dress behind him.
Looking back, Wang Er saw a woman with very good eyebrows and eyes, who was Wang Er's new wife.
This woman is none other than the last time Wang Er broke through the county seat, the county magistrate Xinna's concubine. Sometimes, fate is so wonderful, Wang Er saved her again, and at that time she was already a refugee fleeing.
Although Wang Er didn't do anything to her, after Wang Er withdrew, the government and the official army were stationed in the county seat.
The government extorted money, and the officials and soldiers basically robbed it openly, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury for the county town that had just made the turmoil worse. The people around the county town were also suffering from the scourge, and suddenly there were a lot more refugees who had no way to live, and countless people began to flee.
After all, there are only a few people who can walk, and most of them still have no choice but to sell their children and daughters, beg along the main road, and find a way to live.
At this time, Wang Er naturally became a big savior, and Wang Er's grain and grass in the deep mountains were quite sufficient, and he pulled people up all of a sudden.
After reorganization, there were more than 4,000 young people who could fight alone, all of whom were incorporated into his own lineage by Wang Er. According to Uncle Wang's opinion, Wang Er proclaimed himself the boss, and the others were also named the leader, and the people's hearts were very good for a while.
It's just that there are not many equipment, and many people don't even have scythes, so they can only make up the numbers with sticks.
A few years ago, Wang Er married this woman, she looked good, and she was literate and hyphenated, in Wang Er's words, if there was no such world, how could he marry such a good wife?
"What do you think?" Seeing that Wang Er was in a daze, the woman reached out and pushed him, and asked in a low voice.
Sighing, Wang Er said slowly: "The New Year is over, and there is not much food in the mountain, so we should also think of a way out, always hiding in the mountain is not a way." If you go out to rob again, I am afraid that it will be easy to be targeted by the officials and soldiers. ”
"Besides, we have more than 10,000 people now, and it's useless if we don't do a big vote!"
The woman's eyes also darkened, and after thinking about it, she said: "I'm a woman, and I don't know much about these things, but you can ask my father and second uncle, they should know what to do!" ”
The father is naturally Wang Er's father-in-law, and Wang Er's parents are dead, so it is naturally impossible to have a father.
The woman's father is a showman, he has read books and history, and he can be regarded as knowledgeable, and now with Uncle Wang, Wang Er can be regarded as having a job.
Stretching out his hand to hold the woman's hand, Wang Er nodded, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will go and discuss it with them, the person sent out to touch the news is afraid that it is time to come back, in the words of the second uncle, it will definitely not be peaceful outside now." ”
"Dad also said, this winter is difficult, I don't know how many people are going to freeze to death!" The woman said with her head down.
