Chapter 171: Self-Generated Fire Gun (2)
I heard a 'snap' sound, and the hammer holding the flint slammed into the metal sheet of the powder pool!
At the same time, the small cover plate directly above the powder pool was also opened!
Zhang Li clearly saw the sparks produced by the flint on the powder pool striking the metal sheet at the same time as the sound of the blow!
Gao Yuanliang is also a veteran in the army, and he also knows a lot about firearms, so he can't help but be overjoyed at this moment: "Young master, as soon as the trigger of this self-generated fire gun is pulled, the hammer will hit the gunpowder pool and produce sparks, which will definitely detonate the ignition gunpowder!" ‘
Zhang Zhang nodded, and he didn't break it, in fact, when he pulled the trigger, the lid above the powder pool also opened at the same time, which also made sense.
To prevent the ignition powder from spilling or getting wet, the powder pool must have a lid.
In the case of a seal, a violent blow from the hammer does not necessarily produce a spark, as there is not enough oxygen in the sealed powder pool.
Now when the trigger is pulled, it kills two birds with one stone, which not only drives the impact of the hammer, but also opens the cover of the powder pool, allowing a large amount of oxygen in the air to enter, and finally causes the spark to occur!
If I remember correctly, this kind of ramming flintlock pistol should have been improved and invented by the Frenchman Mahan, and now it is a small amount of equipment in Europe, and it has not yet been introduced into the army in batches.
I don't know how this Junkersh has this thing? It's a few decades before this thing becomes popular in the West!
Zhang Zhang glanced at Junkersh, handed the flintlock pistol in his hand to Gao Yuanliang, and asked Junkersh with a smile: "Mr. Junkersh, how can you have a flintlock pistol in this Catholic church?" ‘
Junkersh showed some disappointment in his eyes, shook his head and said: "Alas, I don't hide it, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, attached great importance to firearms, and once asked my priest in Shandong about the most advanced firearms in the West. Originally, this flintlock pistol was brought to Governor Sun as a sample test......
After a pause, Junkersh spread his hands: "Presumably Zhang Juren also knew that Governor Sun had committed an incident in Shandong, so this matter was put on hold. ‘
Zhang Zhang nodded, finally understanding the whole story.
Speaking of which, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, is also a bull. However, fate makes people, it seems that God is going to die in the Ming Dynasty!
In fact, the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to firearms since the time of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, which was completely different from the Tartar Dynasty.
Let's talk about Da Ming first. Later, we will talk about mite clearing.
Mu Ying, the ancestor of Mu Jianping, the small county lord of Mu Wangfu, in the well-known "Deer and Ding Ji", is an expert in the use of firearms.
Friends who know the history of Japan's Warring States period know very well that the classic tactic of the so-called Oda Tokugawa coalition army to defeat the Takeda cavalry in one fell swoop in the Battle of Nagashino, the 'three-stage attack', has always been proud of the little devils.
However, what the little devils don't know is that the Ming Dynasty's "Taizong Record" recorded that 'Hongwu twenty-one years. (Mu Ying) is to order the army to put fire guns and arrows in the three columns, and if the elephant advances, the arrows are fired, if you don't retreat, the next line will follow, and if you don't retreat, the three lines will follow. ‘
In other words, the three-stage attack invented by Mu Ying is two hundred years ahead of the little devil!
In the Jiajing period, the Japanese invaded repeatedly, and the imperial court attached great importance to firearms.
In the 37th year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty produced the first batch of 10,000 arquebuses in China, which were called "bird's beak guns".
At this time, the little devil was the Warring States Period, and the fire guns relied on by the great demon king Oda Nobunaga were only a few hundred in the early days.
This era. It's a spike in the East! Later, the fierce achievements of Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others also fully proved this point.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, things in eastern Liaodong were getting worse and worse, and people of insight in the imperial court began to pay attention to firearms again.
For example, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, is a Western firearms expert.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Sun Yuanhua's "Western Law Divine Machine" and "Jingwu Quanshu" are the earliest military works in China to introduce Western firearms and tactics, but unfortunately they failed to attract the attention of civilian officials who hold real power and develop artillery according to law.
What's more, the money of the imperial court is in the cellar of the civil official's house, and it is absolutely impossible to develop science and technology.
Besides, if Kangxi Xiao Mazi of the Tartar Dynasty wants to build cannons, he has to rely on foreigners. Nan Huairen, a missionary who helped Kangxi make cannons, wrote the cannon-making book "Shenwu Diagram". Forty or fifty years later than Sun Yuanhua.
Zhang Li sighed slightly and shook his head slightly.
He knew very well that Sun Yuanhua would soon be attacked by the traitor Wen Tiren, and Chongzhen finally unjustly killed this unique Western scholar.
After Sun Yuanhua. No one in the Ming Dynasty knows how to learn artillery, let alone write a book.
But now that Young Master Ben is here, all these histories have been rewritten!
Sun Yuanhua's death is probably inevitable, but Young Master Ben's heart for attaching importance to firearms will definitely not be weaker than him!
Zhang Zhang said to Junkersh: "Sir, Governor Sun will not ask for this flintlock pistol for the time being. I'm afraid it's hard to make a move! ‘
Junkersh is obviously not a businessman, although he is not good at this bargaining technique, but he also knows that Zhang Li is going to kill the price.
Jun Keshi thought for a moment and said bluntly: "Zhang Juren, since you came with Miss Jingping yesterday, you must be a little familiar with Master Xu. Lord Xu has always been a strong supporter of our Catholic missionary work, and I will not say a word. This gun was shipped from Germany, and I only made 20% of the profit, 120 taels of silver, do you think you can accept it? ‘
Hearing this, I was stunned, this old German man is really honest, how can he be a businessman like this, even say his own profits?
Zhang Zhang thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood the Tao.
This old man seems to be loyal, and if he pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger here, the cost must definitely be less than a hundred taels of silver.
But now it's the first deal, but it's inconvenient to bargain, in addition to this gun, I also want drawings!
Technology comes first!
Zhang Zhang smiled and said, "Mr. Junkersh, I often deal with the maritime merchants in Macao, and the cost of this gun is not more than a hundred taels of silver!" ‘
Seeing that his small means were seen through by tension, Junkersh's old face turned red and his face was embarrassed.
Zhang Zhang did not continue to embarrass him, but asked directly: "You said that this gun is a sample, how many of them do you have?" ‘
Junkersh hurriedly said, "Governor Sun originally set twenty handfuls. ‘
After a pause, Junkersh said in a sneering manner: "The price agreed with Governor Sun is one hundred and ten hundred and twenty-hand." If Zhang Juren is interested, he will sell you at this price. ‘
Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Twenty two thousand taels, I bought them all!" ‘
Junkersh only thought about it for less than half a pillar of incense, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, just according to the price Zhang Juren said!" ‘
Zhang Zhang shook his head slightly and said, "However, you can't just sell guns. ‘
Junkersh was taken aback: 'Huh? ‘
Zhang Li's eyes narrowed: "You have to give me the drawings for making the gun." ‘
When Junkersh heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "This is nature. However, with the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be able to be made. ‘
Junkersh's words are not false, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the craftsmen could not eat enough, and the shoddy system caused a commonplace.
Zhang Zhang didn't care about him, and said loudly: "I don't need to worry about this." ‘
Later, Zhang Zhang inquired about the German craftsmen and other munitions, and Junkersh promised to write a letter immediately to let the trading house in Fujian operate, and these things would not be in a hurry for a while, so it was good to keep in touch.
After Zhang Zhang finalized the matter of contact, he directly asked Gao Yuanliang to drive a carriage to his home, and took away twenty percussive flintlock pistols for two thousand taels of silver, and naturally there were a few boxes of bullets and pellets, and about one gun could match five or six hundred lead pellets.
The gun is available, but only Gao Yuanliang can be used, which makes Zhang Li quite a headache.
Originally, Zhang Li bought this flintlock pistol, just wanting a sample to imitate, but when he saw that there were as many as twenty of them, he couldn't help his own hands.
This Nima has not yet reached Double 11, and Zhang Li still can't control his shopping when he sees good goods**!
After returning home, Zhang Zhang asked Gao Yuanliang to hide all the guns and projectiles.
Just as he was hiding the guy in tension, and when he was just sitting in his room and breathing a sigh of relief, Pan Batian crashed in.
'Zhang ...... Zhang Juren, I'...... My mother is gone! ‘
When Zhang Li heard this, his brows furrowed.
Since Pan Batian was taken away as the leader of the gang by Chen San, he and his mother lived in the west side of his courtyard.
After all, Pan Batian revealed the news before and let himself escape the catastrophe of the construction site in the southern suburbs, so he is not bad to Pan Batian these days.
After observing it coldly, although this person is ruthless, he has a life, and that is his mother.
In fact, tension looks at people also have their own set, that is, the most filial person, even if there is a fault, the essence is not bad.
This is the case with Gao Yuanliang, this kind of person is the most loyal if he retracts his heart.
Now that Pan Batian ran to say that his mother was missing, Zhang Zhang immediately asked Gao Yuanliang to take someone out to look for him.
Two hours later, after it was already dark, a noise came into the courtyard.
Pan Batian and Gao Yuanliang used a wooden board to carry Pan's mother into the room of tension.
Zhang Zhang was taken aback, and saw that Pan's mother on the door panel was covered with blood, and her appearance was very terrifying.
'What's going on?' Zhang Zhang said as he pulled out the deerskin bag with the gold needle he was carrying.
Pan Batian had tears in his eyes, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Zhang Juren, save my mother!" We found our mother on the rocky beach under the Suzaku Bridge, and we must have been ...... It was pushed off the bridge by the gangsters! ‘
Zhang Zhang didn't continue to ask, and immediately pricked a few needles into Pan Mu's middle, springs, and several acupoints between the lines.
These places are all acupuncture points to stop bleeding and return to yang, and the tension twists and transports the needle, and the room is silent for a while.
After half an hour, Zhang Li let out a long breath and said slowly: "Fortunately, you found it in time, and the old lady stopped the bleeding in time, so there should be no worries about her life." ‘
As soon as these words landed, Pan Batian fell to his knees with a thud, his head slammed into the ground, and his mouth choked: "Thank you Zhang Juren for saving my mother's life!" ‘
Zhang Zhang didn't accept this gift, and hurriedly helped Pan Batian up.
Zhang Zhang glanced at Pan Batian and said, "Pan Batian, you have done a lot of evil before, do you know why I want to save your mother?" ‘
Pan Batian suddenly encountered such a big change, his mind was confused, and he looked at Zhang Li in a daze, and he didn't know what to say. (To be continued.) )
