Chapter 305: Self-Fired Gun (Fusiliers)

Dongjiabao has 500 young and strong, 1,000 acres of fertile land, and it can be regarded as a large fort within a radius of 100 miles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that, compared to Wang Teng, Dong Liang's belongings are nothing at all.

Some time ago, when Jiannu plundered Guangling, Dong Liang once led people into the Shitishan military village, and the soldiers and equipment in the village left a deep impression on him.

To put it bluntly, if Wang Teng wants to raze Dongjiabao, two hundred Guangling troops will be able to do it!

After careful consideration, Dong Liang decided to take the blame!

In the face of net worth and life, the so-called face is not important at all!

I only hope that Wang Teng can speak and not kill people......

Two hours later, Dong Liang **** appeared in front of the government with his upper body and a bundle of thorns on his back.

Wang Teng listened to it and didn't care, "If this person doesn't leave after an hour, let him enter the door again."

"No!"

As soon as the porter returned to the door, another scholar-like person handed over a prayer post, "I am tired of all my words, and Bi Qiuyuan, a student from She County, asks to see me."

The porter said, "Sir, wait, the little one will come when he goes." ”

To be able to work as a porter in the guerrilla general's mansion, it is natural to have a set of skills to observe words and feelings.

This Bi Qiuyuan looks like he has come from a long distance, and he has a talent and fame, so he must not be taken lightly!

Sure enough, seeing Bi Qiuyuan's greetings, Wang Teng was greatly surprised, "Bi Qiuyuan from Shexian County? Or a showman? ”

Could it be that his name has spread to Anhui?

Song Xiance also frowned, "Shexian County is thousands of miles away, what does this person want?" ”

Wang Teng smiled, "Wouldn't you know if you asked?" Lao Zhang, you will attract this Bi Xiucai."

"No!"

"Mr. Bi, my lord, please!"

Bi Qiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "There is labor, lead the way."

The porter smiled back, "That's nature!" ”

Scholars are different, they are respected everywhere, Dong Liang knelt beside the door, slandering, and had the heart to ask Wang Teng's attitude, but he was afraid of angering the villain, so he didn't dare to ask questions at the moment, let alone get up at will.

Who knows if there is anyone in the mansion staring at him, if he gets up rashly and angers Wang Teng, it will be a big deal!

Dong Liang didn't know that his weight was not worth mentioning at all.

It's just a squire, Wang Teng can pinch him to death with a finger.

Bi Qiuyuan is different, the Ming Dynasty emphasizes literature and suppresses martial arts, and although Xiucai is not an official, he has a transcendent status.

Seeing officials and not worshiping is one of the benefits.

Seeing Wang Teng, Bi Qiuyuan just made a gesture, "Student Bi Qiuyuan has seen Lord Wang."

Wang Teng not only couldn't be angry, but had to stand up and greet him, "Hurry up and excuse me, come on, serve tea!" ”

"Thank you, sir", Bi Qiuyuan sat down respectfully.

Why did this man come here?

Wang Teng decided to knock on the side, "Ulzhou is not as good as the land south of the Yangtze River, Bi Xiucai is only afraid of more discomfort, right?" ”

"There is a concern of Lord Lao, in fact, the students came here to fulfill the trust of the elders in the family"

Wang Teng was surprised, this show was unusual, he didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point, which made the draft he prepared useless, "I don't know who your parents are?" ”

"Bi Maokang, the right attendant of the military department, is the uncle of the next!"

Wang Teng's face was solemn, it turned out to be the nephew of a Daming firearms expert.

You know, Bi Maokang is a real inventor, he worked hard for many years, and finally solved the problem that the arquebus could not be fired in the rain, and single-handedly invented the flintlock pistol, that is, the self-generated firebolt!

This is a big treasure, although Wang Teng's army has firearms, but the last time Abatai attacked the city in the rain, the firearms were dumb, and Wang Teng realized the importance of developing flintlock pistols.

Now, Bi Maokang's nephew sent it to the door, how could Wang Teng let it go easily, "It turned out to be Bi Shilang, who has been in love for a long time, but unfortunately he didn't get it to see him."

Bi Qiuyuan is not surprised, because of the book "Illustrated Weapons of Weapons", Bi Maokang has become famous all over the world, and Wang Teng knows his name, which is also reasonable, "I heard that Lord Wang has defeated Jiannu many times with a firecracker?" ”

This is Wang Teng's pride, "Yes, there is indeed such a thing."

"Can you take a look at the firebolt?"

Wang Teng naturally agreed, "Come on, take the fire."

"No!"

Suddenly, a black-covered firearm was held in front of Bi Qiuyuan's eyes.

Bi Maokang loves firearms alone, and as his nephew, Bi Qiuyuan is naturally no exception.

As soon as he saw Guang Lingjun's firecracker, Bi Qiuyuan's eyes couldn't take his eyes off, "My lord, this gun is of high quality, and the craftsman has put his mind into it."

Wang Teng was a little proud, that's it, in order to make the firecracker, he didn't want to spend the money like money, if he couldn't buy back the quality, it would be strange.

Bi Qiuyuan is an expert, although he did not fire a shot, but the characteristics of this firearm have been clearly mastered by him, "Although the quality of this firearm is high, it is not far from the firearm of the border army, I remember that Jiannu seems to have said that the firearm under the command of the adult is extremely fast, I don't know where the key is?" ”

In the face of his own people, there is no need to hide it, Wang Teng also expects people to stay and develop flintlock pistols for themselves, and he said honestly at the moment, "We have improved the loading method, and the speed of the fixed paper tube is extremely fast, saving time and effort."

After that, Wang Teng personally experimented.

Bi Qiuyuan's eyes lit up, "This method is very wonderful, why didn't I think of it!" ”

Wang Teng was noncommittal, it could be seen that Bi Qiuyuan was a real musket maniac, he had an extraordinary hobby for firecrackers, and only such a person could improve firecrackers and carry forward the sharp firecrackers!

After a moment of relief, Bi Qiuyuan said again: "My lord is an expert in using firecrackers, I wonder if you think there is still room for improvement in firecrackers?" ”

Wang Teng shook his head repeatedly, "Regardless of the power and range for the time being, the way of firing the fire rope is too cumbersome, as soon as it rains on a cloudy day, the fire gun will become a burning stick, if the court can't think of a way to crack it, sooner or later it will suffer a big loss."

Bi Qiuyuan shook his head repeatedly, and he took a wooden box from his back, "My lord, this is a fire gun made by my uncle's father, you can take a look."

Wang Tengqiang endured his excitement and opened the wooden box with a pilgrimage-like mentality.

Lying quietly in the box is a slender fire gun, this fire gun has a unique shape, and at first glance it is not ordinary.

"This, this is a self-generated firebolt, right?"

"Huh?"

Bi Qiuyuan never expected Wang Teng to say something heaven-shattering, "The adults are really powerful, and the students admire them."

Wang Teng fumbled with the fire gun and was eager to try it, "Can I test this fire gun?" ”

"Naturally!"

Naturally, there is no danger of exploding the firearm built by Bi Maokang himself.

"Bang", after a loud bang, the smoke filled.

On the shooting range, Wang Teng accurately hit the humanoid target 60 steps away.

All the generals applauded, Wang Teng was also quite complacent, it was not easy to change the gun for the first time to have this level, "Master Bi's whimsical ideas, my generation can't reach it!" ”

When it was just fired, Wang Teng had already discovered that the excitation method of the self-generated fire gun was not much different from that of the later generations, and it was ignited by a device that hit the flint.

There is no need to ignite, the long fire rope is eliminated, and at the same time, in order to protect the left and right from wind and water, there is a small iron cover at the position of the rear fire door, and the fire sickle can be pushed down to produce fire with the flint.

It's a technological advancement!

Wang Teng cherished it, he couldn't see enough, Tong who liked firearms always smiled and laughed, "My lord, can you let me try a shot?" ”

This firearm is so extraordinary that Wang Teng really wants to keep it as a sample, and if it is possible, he doesn't want to let go of a shot.

However, seeing Tong's consistent appearance, Wang Teng could only ask Bi Qiuyuan for instructions, "Brother Bi, this is the commander of the firearm under my command, and he can't move when he sees a firearm, can you let him shoot?" ”

The firearm developed by his uncle was so valued, Bi Qiuyuan was naturally very happy, "Yes, my uncle asked me to send the gun over, just to save the idea of testing the gun and improving it."

A true inventor must keep up with the times and not be afraid to question.

Clearly, Bi Maokang did it.

Wang Teng admired, "I have a reluctant request, I wonder if Brother Bi can call the shots?" ”

"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say"

"This firearm is of great significance, I want to customize a batch, I wonder if Lord Bi can agree?"

Bi Qiuyuan smiled: "Don't you ask about the price?" ”

Wang Teng Zhengse said: "I also admit it for one hundred taels of silver, Lord Bi has worked hard for this firecracker, and Wang can steal the fruit by spending some silver, in the end, I still took advantage!" ”

Bi Qiuyuan shook it to the end, "I have heard for a long time that the adult's affection is unparalleled, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, and I can't hide it, the reason why my uncle asked me to bring the gun here is indeed because of the cost of this firecracker."

"I want to hear about it"

"After my uncle made this musket, he was originally full of interest, thinking that he could show his strength and contribute to the imperial court, but who would have thought that the military department vetoed this musket improvement plan on the grounds that the cost of the musket was too high."

Wang Teng frowned, when something new appears, it will always cause a backlash from the conservative forces, "I don't know how much a fire gun costs?" ”

"Fifteen taels of silver"

The cost of the fire gun in Wang Teng's army has been compressed to four taels of silver per handle, although the self-generated fire gun is sharp, but the price of fifteen taels of silver is indeed too expensive.

The imperial treasury was empty, and it was impossible to spend a huge amount of money and replace it with a new one.

In order to change his clothes and make his own firearms, Bi Maokang lobbied many times in the DPRK and China, but none of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China approved it.

Although firearms are good, they must be replaced with money!

Now the development of the Ming army is focused on heavy artillery, and they pursue a longer range and greater power, completely ignoring flexibility and mobility.

In other words, the emergence of self-generated firebolts does not meet the mainstream needs!

On the direction of the development of firearms, Bi Maokang had a disagreement with the bigwigs of the DPRK and China.

Since Bi Maokang does not repent, the bigwigs will naturally not pay for him.

In desperation, the news of Wang Teng's victory reached the capital, so Bi Maokang asked his nephew to go to Ulzhou with the idea of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

In terms of the application of firearms, Wang Teng walked in front of the vast majority of the gates.

If Wang Teng approves of the firecracker, then Bi Maokang's hard work will not be in vain, if even Wang Teng sneers, Bi Maokang will burn the drawings and never make the gun again for the rest of his life!

Fortunately, Wang Teng couldn't put it down, "Although fifteen taels of silver is expensive, it is worth the money!" ”

Bosom friend, Bi Qiuyuan almost burst into tears, if the big man in the DPRK and China is as reasonable as Wang Teng, why should he risk coming to Ulzhou!

"In my lord's words, this firearm is complex and difficult to manufacture, and it took my uncle ten days to make one."

Wang Teng frowned, Bi Maokang is a mature craftsman, even he will take so long, let alone other craftsmen, the manufacturing time will only be longer.

Such an expensive, time-consuming and laborious firearm is indeed not pleasant.

However, the self-generated fire gun represents the direction of historical development, even if it costs a lot of money, Wang Teng must keep the inheritance!

"I want to order 500 firearms, I wonder if Brother Tai can do it for Tongbing?"

Bi Qiuyuan's eyes widened, five hundred poles of firearms, this is six thousand taels of silver, can Wang Teng take it?

At this time, Tong has always finished testing the gun, "My lord, this fire gun requires a lot of strength when it is fired, and it is easy to cause instability in the center of gravity and affect the accuracy of the head in wartime."

This flaw is completely within Wang Teng's acceptable range, "Other than that, what do you think of this firebolt?" ”

"It's a great feat to be able to fire without a fire rope!"

Wang Teng said with a smile: "Brother Bi, I really like this firecracker, don't worry about the silver, I can pay 10,000 taels this time!" ”

"What?"

"The extra silver is all regarded as the hard work of adults, Lord Bi is old, but he has always been worried about the country, this kind of sentiment, my generation can't reach it"

Bi Qiuyuan's face flushed, this feeling of being recognized is really good, "My lord, you don't have a few firecrackers, and there are no familiar people in the capital, so let's go back to Beijing immediately, explain everything to my uncle, and let him decide, how about it?" ”

Wang Teng smiled slightly, "Brother Bi, I have something that can save you from trekking through mountains and rivers."

"Oh? I don't know what it is? ”

Wang Teng said with a smile: "Come on, bring the carrier pigeon!" ”

"No!"

Suddenly, a carrier pigeon placed in a bird cage appeared.

After all, Bi Qiuyuan was familiar with poetry and books, and he was surprised: "I'm afraid it took a lot of effort for adults to cultivate this carrier pigeon."

Wang Teng did not deny it, "As long as it can be used by me, I will admit it no matter how big the price is."

This is a pun, and Bi Qiuyuan completely understands.

Since there are carrier pigeons, Bi Qiuyuan stayed in Guangling and no longer insisted on returning.

That night, Bi Qiuyuan wrote a letter in his hand, dragging Wang Teng's reactions, needs, and plates out.

Because of the secrecy of the carrier pigeon, Bi Qiuyuan was still unsatisfied, but he believed that his uncle could figure out a thing or two from the relevant wording.

With the appearance of the new firecracker, Wang Teng was in a very good mood, and three hours passed unconsciously.

At this time, Dong Liang, who was outside the door, was about to collapse, if he hadn't practiced martial arts, he would have already fainted.

The porter was very sincere, Wang Teng had said that he would meet for an hour, but after the time came, the porter couldn't find Wang Teng, so he had to return in vain.

This time, it was getting dark, and the porter was open again.

Wang Teng then remembered that there was still a person kneeling at the door who was "guilty of asking for guilt", "Let him come in."

"No!" (To be continued.) )
