158: Want to copycat?
Deng Shifeng set the general policy of negotiation for Qin Er, and there is nothing good about Qin Er and Zhong Shuqing's affairs later, although Zhong Shuqing knows that Qin Er, who talks to him, is not the highest big leader, but the first chief executive can be regarded as enough face to talk to himself, and he also understands that his coming over this time is a role in exploring the path, without Yanjing's final consent, it is useless for you to talk about something as beautiful as a flower!
Therefore, although he was very angry at the mountain village's request not to recruit and not be promoted, but at least it was not nothing, and the conditions of the second hole card opened by Qin Er behind him were heartwarming, anyway, he was just a microphone, with the requirements and conditions given by the other party, as well as three Xia-style rifles and a number of bullets, Zhong Shuqing returned to Guilin......
On the military field of a school in Guilin, Guangxi, three Xia-style rifles are firing continuously, and when the shooting is completed, the target 100 steps away is already full of large and small bullet holes, and here in the shooting area, there are shooters with unfinished faces, and a group of Ming Dynasty officials with shocked faces behind them.
The military attachés were not much shocked, but more expressed their approval and envy for the rate of fire, accuracy and convenience displayed by this firearm......
The civilian officials, on the other hand, were full of surprise and shock, because they never imagined that firearms could be used in this way, which completely subverted their negative impressions of the uneven quality, low rate of fire, low firing distance, and extremely poor accuracy of the original firearms...... What's more, what they can't believe is that they knew that the firearms of the Hongyi people were good before, but compared to the firearms produced by these mountain barbarian flower skins...... That's rubbish! This makes it difficult for them, who have always had the mentality of industrial superiority, to accept it......
"In the past, it was said that the firearms were sharp, but now it is said that they are really sharp......"
Last time, the old man among them, that is, the governor of Guangxi, shook his head lightly, and finally made an affirmative statement on the firearms that had been rumored, and when he saw the statement of the local chief executive, several military attachés behind him quietly wiped their sweat. Because the credibility of the battle report has been seriously questioned because the practice of repeatedly exaggerating the results of the battle or exaggerating the strength of the opponent in the battle reports of the past dynasties, the upper echelons of the war reports from below often do not believe it too much, even if they have not mixed any water in it...... But shouting too much, the habitual surname of the wolf will not make people believe themselves. In the end, the civilian officials always did not believe the military attachés' sharp reports on the flower skin firearms, and always thought that the military attaches were making excuses for their failures, and now the statements of the Guangxi bigwigs have finally found the best excuse for themselves not to send them to death......
"This is just the ingenuity of those mountain barbarian flower skins, I can't see it, find some craftsmen to beat it for a while, and then I'll see what those flower skins will do!"
Last time, the eight-character mustache who was scolded away by the old man made a disdainful statement on the side, but everyone could hear the sour taste in his words. Although he looked at Zhong Shuqing with a strong sense of jealousy in his eyes, he also understood that he could not openly point the finger at Zhong Shuqing at this time to talk to Shanman, Zhong Shuqing was entrusted by the governor to enter the mountain, and if you question him, you will question the governor, so he can only mock Zhong Shuqing by belittling the flower skin to make such a big achievement worthless......
"Well...... Shuqing, is this feasible? ”
The old man seems to be very interested in the proposal of this bearded villain, and it seems that this cottage is actually very traditional from the official to the public, from ancient times to later generations.
"This ...... My lord, please forgive me for not being able to do this......"
It's just that before Zhong Shuqing could answer, the official who came to watch the construction of the pipe and the man next to him stood up and rejected the proposal of the eight-character beard in one sentence.
"Xiaguan has asked the best craftsmen in Guilin to inspect the flower skin of this kind of bird, its steel is more pure than the steel produced in Guangdong, and its gunning mechanism parts are also extremely fine, so it is not a simple calcination file drill can be made, if a small amount of imitation is barely done, but a large number of production...... Please forgive me for the lack of official skills ......"
This official also understands that he does not have the ability to do this, so he hurriedly put the difficulties out, if you want to imitate, you have to solve the two major technical problems of steel materials and processing, but at present, the mass production of steel is the best quality in Guangdong, and the steel produced by these flower skins is better than that of Guangdong...... Where did you let Lao Tzu go to make such good steel in Guangxi?! Then there are the springs and cutting locking irons, which are already hard and difficult to machine, and the precision is very high...... It's okay to make a few of them to coax adults to play, but you have to let Lao Tzu make a thousand...... You'd better kill Lao Tzu first......
The explanation of the official in charge of the construction made the face of the eight-character beard a little unbearable, and the other literati also showed the same expression, the most important characteristic of the literati is that they always think that they know everything from poetry and books, but when they are really asked about production and this scientific and technological thing...... Except for a small number of civil officials who are said to be "not doing their jobs", they are willing to go down to the workshop to study these techniques and understand the difficulties here, and the vast majority of civil officials ...... They are all idiots who don't understand anything and can only recite sour poetry.
However, Bazihu didn't intend to give up like this, and his little eyes rolled slightly: "Could it be that those mountain barbarian flower skins have the law of immortals, and the steel produced in the barbarian land is actually better than our Han craftsmen?" ”
Hearing that the official in charge of the construction has given the eight-character beard to the grass and mud horse 10,000 times, the eight-character beard is a bend to say that he has no ability, and Lao Tzu has not offended you, you want to force me to death!
However, the ability to be an official is still there, and the official in charge of the construction of the official gave a light salute and said: "The lower officials really don't know what demon magic fairy magic the mountain barbarian flower skin uses, and the lower officials see Lord Liang's words, presumably Lord Liang must be the steel-making technique of the mountain barbarians, if this is the case, the lower officials are willing to worship Lord Liang as a teacher to learn this art, not to say that they cast iron and steel all night, but also to share the worries of our emperor, and ask Lord Liang to complete the teaching......"
This official's words of retreating as advance directly put the eight-character bearded official surnamed Liang on the fire, Nima Di, Lao Tzu didn't provoke you, you stabbed Lao Tzu with a gun and an arrow, if you really have this ability, Lao Tzu worships you, a villain, and you will admit it, but if you don't have this ability......
Sure enough, the eight-character beard surnamed Liang who was so agitated by this official hurriedly put on a few words and revealed, you want him to calculate people, he is definitely a master, a master, ......a master, Hehe, just with his layman, he doesn't know why!
The officialdom fight episode made by the eight-character beard surnamed Liang ended in the retreat of the provoking people, and everyone focused on Zhong Shuqing again, at this moment he was carrying a bird gun with flower skin in his hand, and the technique was a little clumsy to pick out a piece from under the ram and present it to the governor.
"My lord, those flower skins dare to sell their firearms to us, in addition to their estimation that we will not be able to study and study the production of this kind of bird gun in large quantities, there is another thing that they are clamoring for, that is, this copper fiery thing in the hands of the lower officials."
"This thing seems to be simply knocked into copper, but the convex and concave places are filled with very subtle things, according to the flower skin, this thing is refined with the essence of heaven and earth, and the reaction is transformed by chemical methods, during which the process and the materials used are complex and unimaginable, if there is no such fiery thing, this bird gun can only be a piece of fine iron......
"This little copper material is so mysterious?!"
Playing with the primer belt in his hand, the old man of the governor showed a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Your Excellency, please look at ......"
Zhong Shuqing is no stranger to the governor's reaction to the old man, because a few days ago, Qin Er took the primer and shouted to himself that it was for nothing, and you can't learn it, and you are also in this mood and expression. He found a buckle hole and pressed one of the primers of the ignition belt, then took a sharp nail from the wooden frame and aimed it at the copper cap of the primer, picked up a stone from the ground and struck it vigorously......
In front of everyone, a fireball as large as a basin appeared and frightened them...... (Note: I have never seen what kind of flame a real primer can cause, but a friend of Yimu got it more than ten years ago when he was a militiaman, and inadvertently fired the primer when he dismantled the warhead and poured out the gunpowder to remove the primer...... It is impossible to verify whether it is true or not, so it is depicted according to what it says)
"Hiss......"
There was a sound of cold air at the scene, and no one could have imagined that this thing, which was smaller than a copper buckle, could emit such a large flame.
"My lord, the lower official also approached the craftsman and asked him if he could replace it with other fire-igniting things, but because there were too few sparks after the fire, the gunpowder in the gun could not be ignited......"
is still the official in charge of the construction, he timely made up the most critical problem to clear his incompetent name, and at the same time told the eight-character beard surnamed Liang: Lao Tzu can't do it, you have the ability to come!!
Zhong Shuqing's demonstration and the official's supplementary explanation made the scene silent for a long time, this kind of thinking about the cottage but not having this ability made these people feel extremely depressed and aggrieved, especially when they imagined that those mountain barbarians were shouting that they were for you, and you couldn't imitate the arrogance......
"Shuqing stays, and the others disperse first......"
After being silent for a long time, the old man of the governor said that he had ended today's test gun, and the other officials retired one after another, and they also knew that the governor wanted to talk to Zhong Shuqing about more in-depth issues, or wanted to have a private chat to understand more details of what Zhong Shuqing saw and heard in the mountains, and everyone threw envious eyes at Zhong Shuqing, this kind of opportunity was something that many people couldn't ask for; However, although most people are envious but not jealous, after all, they don't have the courage to talk about things on the territory of the flower skin, only the eight-character mustache surnamed Liang left here with a vicious and jealous gaze...... (To be continued.) )
