Chapter 317: Jiaxing Firearms Army
"Master Hu? It's rude, it's rude. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Seeing that Hu Zongxian actually came to the school ground, Li Weiguo hurriedly apologized.
Unexpectedly, the rules he set made the governor of Zhejiang in the imperial court sit on the cold bench, and Li Weiguo was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, take me into this school yard to have a look."
Hu Zongxian is doing big things, so naturally he will not be entangled in this kind of thing, but the incessant noise in the school field attracted him, and he was eager to see the current appearance of Jiaxing soldiers and horses.
The Jiaxing soldiers have always been weak, and the Japanese have been walking sideways in Jiaxing for many years, and now Li Weiguo is tossing, what will become of these soldiers and horses?
"Lord Hu, please."
Li Weiguo didn't dare to slack off, which led Master Hu to come to the school.
After walking a few steps, Hu Zongxian and others came down to the Jiaxing campus under the guidance of Li Weiguo.
Good guys, the huge school field is crowded with people at this time, and the black pressure is overwhelming, let alone a thousand people!
"How many?"
"More than a thousand." Li Weiguo said.
Daming Weisu has always eaten empty salaries, this is not an uncommon thing, the impression of Jiaxing soldiers and horses is not only vulnerable to combat effectiveness, but also a small number of pitiful, so this is the time of the war is rare.
But there are more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in front of me! It's a bit of a surprise.
Thousands of soldiers and horses were divided into several teams.
There were hundreds of musketeers, crackling and firing at this time; There were hundreds of horsemen, who were now on the school grounds, holding three-eyed guns and a strange firearm drill; There are also artillerymen, who are at this time in charge of the boom of artillery in their hands......
Li Weiguo looked at him, Liu Qianhu understood, and waved the order flag.
More than 1,000 soldiers and horses stopped their work and formed a phalanx.
Quite heroic.
"It is said that your soldiers and horses under Li Weiguo are good at using firearms, can you show it to this official today?"
Hu Zongxian looked at the soldiers and horses in front of him who formed a phalanx, and he was also a little enthusiastic, so he said.
"The subordinate obeys his orders." Li Weiguo said: "My Jiaxing soldiers and horses perform their duties, and there are many types of troops such as musketeers, horsemen, artillery and engineers. ”
Li Weiguo asked.
There are more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and the types of troops are also a little complicated, if they are drilled one by one, it will definitely take a lot of time, so Li Weiguo said.
Hu Zongxian found a chair on the viewing platform and sat down: "The official has nothing to do today, so you can perform them one by one." ”
"Yes."
Li Weiguo obeyed his orders, and while performing, he explained at the same time.
"This musketeer is the soul of my Jiaxing soldiers and horses!" Li Weiguo took over the order flag in Liu Qianhu's hand and performed it himself.
Waving the flag, the musketeers lined up in three rows.
At the sound of an order, wave the flag.
Bang bang bang
Bang bang bang
……
The musketeers in three rows fired one after another, and there was no non-stop effort.
It crackled like an endless, and after a while, the three-inch thick target in front of him was beaten to pieces.
Bang bang bang......
The tongue of fire was still roaring, and the fiery lead beckoned like raindrops towards the target in front of him.
The formation alone is terrifying! It's hard to imagine if it were a man standing at gunpoint! What will happen!
"Your Jiaxing soldiers ordered the soldiers and horses under the banner of the order?"
Hu Zongxian did not first ask about the musket, but about this.
"Lord Huihu, yes." Li Weiguo said: "Sun Tzu's art of war is cloudy, and he can't see each other, so he is a golden drum; Words do not hear each other, so for the flag, the battlefield is big, it is difficult to do the military order by roaring, so Jiaxing soldiers and horses, the use of this flag, the golden drum. ”
"Hmm." Hu Zongxian nodded, and then spoke: "The musket in the sergeant's hand seems to have some news!" I can't shoot the lead so quickly, can I!? ”
"Yes, the firearms in the hands of my Jiaxing soldiers and horses are not birds, but flintlock muskets."
Li Weiguo said truthfully.
Flintlock muskets?
Hu Zongxian glanced at Xu Wei, and he also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"What is this flintlock musket?" There are still such treasures in Jiaxing soldiers and horses?
Earlier, during the Battle of Zhapu, the muskets used by the soldiers and horses of Tongxiang seemed to be a little different from the bird's gun, and the firepower seemed to be more powerful.
Later, when Pinghu City was surrendered, Hu Zongxian also saw it from Li Weiguo's entourage, but because there was a major event at that time, he didn't pay attention to it.
Today, taking advantage of this file to review the soldiers and horses, Hu Zongxian came to find out.
"What advantages does this flintlock musket have over a bird's gun?"
Xu Wei also asked.
Speaking of firearms in the world, I am afraid that none of them can compare with the Lumi firearm of the imperial court general, but although this Lumi firearm is powerful, it is not popular because of the cumbersome production and troublesome loading.
Looking at this Jiaxing firearm today, it is powerful and can be launched so continuously!
Hu Zongxian couldn't help but be a little surprised.
No wonder the soldiers and horses under Li Weiguo's command can use firearms as their main weapons, it turns out that this guy has already mastered the use of firearms?
Li Weiguo summoned a musketeer, grabbed the firearm in this person's hand and handed it to Hu Zongxian: "The firearm in the hands of my Jiaxing musketeer is different from that bird's gun, and the adults will know it at a glance." ”
Li Weiguo said with a smile, and as he spoke, he offered the musket in his hand with both hands.
Hu Zongxian was very interested, grabbed the musket and watched it for a good time, and asked for a few more for Xu Wei and the others beside him to watch together.
Unlike the bird's gun, the so-called flintlock musket does not have a sneering and burning arquebus, and there is a special message on the serpentine rod, which appears to have been modified.
"This thing doesn't have an arquebus, so how can it be fired?"
Hu Zongxian asked.
Li Weiguo pointed to the musket and explained: "Can you see this flint?" ”
Flint is actually flint, and when you pull the trigger, it fires a spark.
At this time, the musket was not filled with gunpowder, and Li Weiguo motioned for this Hu Zongxian to pull the trigger, and sure enough, after the flint was fired, it sent out a burst of sparks.
"I see!" Hu Zongxian sighed secretly, it was really ingenious!
The bolt and barrel were filled with gunpowder, loaded with lead, and tamped with a lever, and Hu Zongxian pulled the trigger after following Professor Li Weiguo's operating procedures.
Bang......
Good guys, it's amazing!
"Good!" Hu Zongxian said: "The reloading time of this flintlock musket has been greatly shortened, but the power has not been reduced!" What a good thing! ”
Hu Zongxian said with heartfelt emotion.
Traditionally, it takes three minutes to reload a bird's gun, but this flintlock musket has greatly improved the continuity of fire because it lacks a series of complicated procedures such as adjusting the arquebus.
Hu Zongxian felt that it was not enjoyable, so he fired another shot.
It's already a bit scary to line up a three-part shot with a bird gun that doesn't reload fast, but if this thing is lined up in three parts......
"A few days ago, Yang Shubang won a big victory, and your Tongxiang soldiers and horses used such tactics?"
Hu Zongxian suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization.
"Yes, it's this flintlock musket and other firearms!" Li Weiguo said with a smile.
No wonder.
Hearing the news, Hu Zongxian became more and more fond of the flintlock musket in his hand.
This gun is so powerful, and now there is almost one soldier and horse in Jiaxing......
It's hard to imagine what kind of achievements this army will create when they go to the battlefield in the future!
When the Japanese invaded Tongxiang before, Lord Hu had ordered Li Weiguo to defend the wall and defend the wilderness, but this Li Weiguo openly disobeyed the order and insisted on fighting against the Japanese invaders!
Now, Hu Zongxian understands that if he has such a divine soldier in his hands, he will not honestly stick to the city!
"What is the rate of dumb fire of this musket?"
After sighing with emotion, Hu Zongxian began to ask carefully.
Chinese firearms in the Ming Dynasty have been relatively common, Hu Zongxian, as the governor of Zhejiang, naturally has some understanding of this firearm, and now the power of this musket and the continuity of firepower are quite gratifying, so Hu Zongxian asked this dumb fire rate.
The muskets of this era were not as reliable as the guns of later generations, because of the high temperature of gunpowder burning and the residual slag, etc., the muskets would occasionally explode or dud.
This also became an important reason for restricting the development of muskets in this era.
"It's about one percent!"
Li Weiguo said truthfully.
These problems will also occur when flintlock muskets are on the battlefield, but because Li Weiguo grasps the quality tightly and does not dare to make shoddy products below, there are not many things to blow up the bore, but there are still frequent duds.
Hu Zongxian groaned: "Now the exquisite musket is even a sub-fire!" ”
I can't help but feel a little sorry.
But after all, it was Lord Hu, and after a while, he came out of this faint loss.
"This musket is a good thing, and your Yangshubang and Zhapu victories have proven that this thing is really a big killer on the battlefield! I hope you Jiaxing soldiers and horses can still carry forward! ”
Hu Zongxian said.
Hu Zongxian never thought that an army would be able to fight with firearms! Today in this Jiaxing campus, I can be regarded as a long insight.
"Yes, yes."
Li Weiguo said respectfully.
"What other treasures, take them together, I'm here today, don't hide it."
Hu Zongxian said.
Li Weiguo smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for a few cavalrymen to come over.
"Oh? Is this a three-eyed gun? ”
After taking over the things in the hands of a cavalryman, Hu Zongxian recognized it, isn't this the three-eyed gun used in the Beijing army?
These three-eyed guns are more common in the Beijing army, but among the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, Hu Zongxian has seen it for the first time.
The three-eyed guns of the Jiaxing soldiers are different from those of the Beijing army, the three-eyed guns of the Beijing army are wooden handles, but the three-eyed guns of the Jiaxing soldiers and horses are iron-headed and iron-handled, which is very heavy.
And there are a lot of barbs and straight hooks on the head of this gun, if this is smashed on the body......
"Hmm." After Hu Zongxian watched it, he took over the matter in the hands of another cavalryman.
"It's ......"
"In the army, it is called a gun."
Li Weiguo said with a smile.
The spear has three barrels sticking out of both sides of the spear's head, and the principle is actually the same as that of the three-eyed gun.
"The horses can't stand the fright of this gunpowder, and after my Jiaxing cavalry releases, this will rush into the enemy formation, and I believe that the most can kill the enemy in front of the formation!"
Li Weiguo said with a smile.
Call a few cavalry to demonstrate, no, that formation......
After a crackling for a while, the cavalry grabbed the iron guy in his hand and rushed into the enemy formation fiercely, Hu Zongxian couldn't imagine how miserable it would be if it was himself in front of the horse?
"I see that every soldier has two things around his neck, and this is ......"
"Lord Huihu, it's a grenade."
Li Weiguo explained, so he grabbed a grenade, lit it with a fire breaker, and threw it out.
Rumble......
The people who were not mentally prepared were shocked at once, and their ears were tormented for a while.
Li Weiguo was quite proud: "Coldly throwing this thing to the enemy group can not only kill and injure the opponent, but also cause a huge panic!" ”
Looking at the mess in the place, everyone had no doubts about what Li Weiguo said.
"Good!"
Hu Zongxian said.
……
Hu Zongxian, the firearms in the army, looked at them almost one by one, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really the world's first firearms army!" ”
"Yes, I'm afraid it's the Shenji Battalion in the Beijing Division, and it's not as good as the Jiaxing soldiers and horses now!"
Xu Wei also sighed.
Especially when this divine invincible general cannon was demonstrated, several people were completely stunned!
There are such divine weapons in the world!?
Shenwei invincible general cannon, tiger squat cannon...... This kind of cannon and small cannon are even more eye-catching.
Especially this cannon, the target from seven or eight miles away is easy to capture.
This thing, siege and field warfare are really the best choice!
"This official came to Jiaxing today, which can be regarded as a long insight!"
Hu Zongxian couldn't help but sigh.
Li Weiguo just smiled: "I don't know if Lord Hu came to Jiaxing today, what's the matter?" ”
Hu Zongxian is the governor of Zhejiang, and the officials all call him a minister, and he is a feudal official, but it can be said that the richest places in the future are in the hands of this Hu Zongxian.
Such a person who has a lot of opportunities, if there is no major event, how can he go to Jiaxing in person?
After watching the ceremony, Li Weiguo asked.
However, Hu Zongxian did not directly explain the intention, but said: "You have not yet eradicated the Japanese in Jiaxing, but now the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the street workshops are lined up one after another, which is really rare!" ”
Li Weiguo was silent.
"Do you have any special methods for governing this Jiaxing?"
Hu Zongxian saw that Li Weiguo was not in a hurry to say, so he asked.
"At the moment, we are doing business with Wang Zhi, and the goods are naturally made by the people."
Li Weiguo prevaricated.
"So if Wang Zhi falls now, Jiaxing will no longer be prosperous today?"
Governor Hu is such a shrewd person, in fact, he has thought of it a long time ago.
But people are like this, although some things are clearly known, but when you hear what others say, you can't help but feel a little lost.
I'm afraid that I will talk about sensitive topics next, Li Weiguo just smiled, which can be regarded as an agreement.
Hu Zongxian was a little disappointed.
The prosperity of Jiaxing in front of you, the strong soldiers and the strong horses, don't you think you have to build on this trade and mutual market with Wang Zhi?
Hu Zongxian's head was a little confused for a while, could it be that if this Wang Zhi had not fallen, Jiaxing would have always been like this?
But from another point of view, Li Weiguo's move is not a big rebellion!?
As an official of the imperial court, open the private market and open the sea ban!!
Hu Zongxian rubbed his head, and his face couldn't help but be gloomy: "Okay, this official came to Jiaxing this time to talk to you about this Wang Zhi!" (To be continued.) )
