Yang Tianrong said: "You mean that kind of shotgun, more than a dozen, why are you asking this?" ”

Zhou Hao was overjoyed and said, "Can you take one for me to see?" ”

Yang Tianrong said: "Look at that broken thing, I prepared a spear for you, the body of the gun is made of jujube wood, you see if it fits, you will use this gun in the future, and when you have a certain foundation, this Jiaojian soft gun is yours, and in the future, I will not be in the future, you will rely on this Jiaojiao gun to protect the Yang family's industry." ”

Zhou Hao said secretly, the Manchu Qing Dynasty still has two months to enter the customs, and then it will be a big scuffle, and it is difficult to say whether Dafeng Village can be kept at that time, let alone inherit any Yang family's property.

"Let me take a look at the firebolt first, what does it look like?"

"It's just that shotgun, what do you think that's for?" Yang Tianrong said to a big man in front of him: "You go and bring the brass gun in the village." ”

After a while, the big man came with a few firearms, this was the first time Zhou Hao saw a firearm in the Ming Dynasty, the body of the gun was about a meter long, obviously made of copper or pig iron.

Zhou Hao picked it up and weighed it, it was so heavy, it was twenty pounds. Zhou Hao knew that this was the earliest single-shot rifle, because of its short range and low accuracy, after a shot, it had to be used again, so the use rate on the battlefield was not high.

Zhou Hao took the copper fire gun weighing more than 20 pounds, loaded a projectile, which was actually an iron bullet, and tried how powerful it was.

When a projectile was fired, a hole was punched in a wall of earth on the opposite side.

Yang Tianrong watched from the sidelines and said, "This thing can hit a bird, and sometimes it can't even kill a bird, it's a useless thing." ”

Zhou Hao didn't say a word, and decided to modify this oldest single-shot rifle so that it could fire at least five bullets in a row, increasing its power.

For modified guns, Zhou Hao is an expert.

Although there are parts of modern guns in the wooden box, and the power is by no means comparable to any firearm in this era, but the processing of each part requires a specific machine tool, and also requires a variety of good materials. For the time being, you can only rely on your own technology to transform the ancient guns.

Zhou Hao thought to himself, if the entire firearm can fire five bullets in a row, the power will be much higher, even if he is not in the cottage in the future, Yang Tianrong can still defend it with advanced weapons, maybe he can save his life.

According to the principle of the pistol, Zhou Hao decided to give it a try. It takes a lot of skill, and if you reduce the performance of the bullet, you can kill the enemy within 200 meters, and the accuracy does not have to be very high, but it is not difficult to do a little. Although a machine gun that can emit hundreds of rounds of ammunition is said to be very clear to Zhou Hao, with the current situation, it is obviously impossible, there is no machine tool to process parts, and there are no various materials needed, and now you can only start with the simplest five-bullet gun.

Although the Ming Dynasty had a ten-eyed gun, that is, a gun that could fire ten rounds at a time, it was the simplest gun, and the body of the gun was extremely capable of heating and exploding. It is not difficult to fire five bullets at a time, as long as the shooting distance and accuracy are not required, it is completely possible.

Zhou Hao pondered for a moment, and wanted to give up the transformation, because no matter how to strengthen the military strength in the cottage, with the hundreds of people in the cottage, it would not be able to resist the tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the Manchu Dynasty, and the cottage would be destroyed sooner or later, unless he was a good citizen of the Manchu Dynasty. Even if he assembled all the parts of the wooden box gun he brought, assembled them into dozens of guns, and trained for three months, he still couldn't stop the enemy with only a thousand rounds of ammunition.

Yang Tianrong saw Zhou Hao in deep thought, and said, "What are you kid thinking?" ”

Zhou Hao said: "Do you know the Manchu Qing outside the Guan? ”

Yang Tianrong said: "You mean the Tartars outside Shanhaiguan?" ”

"Yes."

Yang Tianrong didn't know why Zhou Hao suddenly asked this question instantly, so he said: "What's wrong with the Tartars, when Li Zicheng rebelled, the imperial court also wanted to use the power of the Tartars to pay Li Zicheng." ”

Zhou Hao said: "The Manchu Tartars will enter the customs in two months, and at that time, our cottage may not be able to be saved." ”

Yang Tianrong seemed to listen to a very peculiar story again, and said, "What do you mean? ”

Zhou Hao said directly: "Give up the cottage and flee to an overseas island or southwest with all the belongings of the cottage." ”

"! This is the foundation laid by my grandfather, if you lose it, you will lose it, Lao Tzu will stay here for the rest of your life, and if you don't go anywhere, you will also stay here in the future. ”

Zhou Hao said: "But when the Manchu Qing Dynasty goes south, we will inevitably suffer a devastating blow, not to mention keeping this cottage, I'm afraid we won't even be able to save our lives at that time." ”

Zhou Hao remembered the scene of the Manchu Qing Dynasty going south as described in the book.

Yang Tianrong seemed to be a little angry, and said: "Lao Tzu has been here all his life, don't you want to go anywhere, obediently stay in the cottage for me." ”
