Chapter 65: Wang Xiaoqi

Yang Bo slapped He Jiu back on the stool and asked, "What difficulties have not been solved?" ”

Chen Jianghu thought for a while and said: "It's just that every time you load iron, it's very troublesome, and sometimes you have to use a wooden cone to hammer it in." ”

Yang Bo nodded, the iron used for this short gun is designed to be conical, and the tail is still with a guide rail, and the lead cannot be stuffed if the tolerance is not well controlled. You must know that there is an error in the inner diameter of each gunned tube, there is also an error in the rifling in the pipe, and the error of the melted lead mold, this problem is not easy to solve for the time being, so you can only try your best to control it.

"My lord, the special forces battalion can insert five or six short guns with lead on their bodies, and when they encounter the enemy, they can be shot with a good primer" He Jiu's eyes are green, this short gun is much better than the three-eyed gun.

Yang Bo glared at him and said, "What are you anxious about?" These short guns were originally for you, and if you insert five or six short guns with lead in them, the gunpowder in them will not be gone? Are you going out to sing? ”

Yang Bo turned his head to Chen Jianghu and said: "This short gun is temporarily selected by hand, and the gun tube can only be larger than the lead, not small, otherwise this filling is too troublesome."

Chen Jianghu nodded: "All the pipes are drilled and waiting for the machine to be loaded, if you pick it once, it is estimated that there will be more than 100 of them." ”

"My lord, will you go test shooting?" He Jiu's pitiful proposal arrived.

Seeing Yang Bo nodding, He Jiuyi grabbed the short gun and shouted, "This first shot is naturally from me." ”

Yang Bo ignored him, and left behind Chen Jianghu and a few others, and asked as he walked, "How did you come up with the Suifa device?" Chen Jianghu, your contribution this time is not small! ”

Chen Jianghu shook his head, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, the villain doesn't dare to take credit, these anvils and iron blocking iron are all drawn by adults, and the villain experimented with them one by one according to the graphics. ”

After speaking, he took out two shrapnel pieces from his pocket and handed them to Yang Bo.

Yang Bo looked at it, this piece of shrapnel was a bit like an inverted S-shape, so simple that it could be understood at a glance, but unfortunately he didn't think of it at that time.

Seeing that Yang Bo was silent, Chen Jianghu smiled again and said: "My lord, this rifling method is really effective, if it weren't for this rifling, such a short gun tube would not have reached eighty steps." Do you want to rifle the other flintlock barrels as well? According to the villain's estimate, it is no problem for a rifled flintlock pistol to break through the double iron armor within a hundred steps. ”

Yang Bo hesitated inwardly, struggling between the rate of fire and the range, two shots per minute for a flintlock pistol was easy, three shots per minute for a trained musketeer was not a problem, but it was difficult to say about a rifled flintlock pistol, in case the gun stuck an iron, the time was not measured in minutes.

Yang Bo thought about it and shook his head and said: "Don't be in a hurry first, the most important thing is to stabilize the flintlock gun and replace all the arquebuses, rifled guns must be done, provided that you want to control the error, or wait for the experience of the short gun to accumulate." ”

Chen Jianghu nodded and didn't say anything more......

When he came to the shooting range, He Jiuxing rushed to pick up the short gun, and Chen Jianghu's son had already prepared and brought over a tray with several molded leads, granular gunpowder, and tongs on it

He Jiu opened the oiled paper bag, poured gunpowder into it, and picked up a lead, but he didn't expect it to be stuck.

Chen Jianghu's face was flushed, and he hurriedly changed it to a new one, and He Jiu pulled the trigger on the target with half-squinted eyes

Disheveled!

He Jiu ignored the short gun with gunsmoke in his hand, ran to the target to take a closer look, the distance of eighty steps was considered the limit distance, and the lead failed to penetrate the target, but was broken into a lead cake and pasted on it.

"Not bad, not bad!" Yang Bo nodded, the short gun was successfully developed, and it was said that the sentinels of the special forces battalion and the Tartars of the squad would not suffer a loss when they met.

The other artisan battalion people also gathered around, and Yang Bo saw Liu Lao Donkey in the crowd and beckoned him to come over.

"Your Excellency!" Liu Lao Donkey nodded and asked Yang Bo to say goodbye, he was very comfortable here, and his belly was bigger.

"You take the craftsman battalion with me, there are a lot of broken armor to be repaired over there in Lushun, and each helmet must be changed to a composite helmet covering the face, I have drawn a sketch for you, you go back and ponder it yourself, and make a sample and give it to me." Yang Bo advised.

"Are you really leaving?" Liu Lao Donkey was a little reluctant to live comfortably in Weiwu Fort: "Isn't it too far to transport the railway from Yizhou to Lushun at that time?" ”

Yang Bo shook his head: "I will buy it near Dengzhou in the future, and there is no way to be more expensive." ”

At this moment, a sergeant from the Intelligence Division walked up to He Jiu and whispered a few words in his ear, and He Jiu hurriedly walked towards Yang Bo with him.

"My lord, I found it," He Jiu said softly to Yang Bo.

"Oh? Found it so quickly? ”

Yang Bo looked at the sergeant and said, "What's the matter, you found that kid?" How about people, tell me about it? ”

The sergeant said after seeing Yang Bo: "If you go back to the adult, I found that kid, it's not convenient to say that the little one, why don't you see it yourself?" ”

After speaking, he handed over a piece of paper.

Yang Bo took it and opened it, and after a few glances, his face darkened, and the paper was written like this:

"Anton Wei Wu No. 1 newspaper, at noon, Wang Xiaoqi went out of the land temple in the south of the city, and the three companions were all Anton Wei's famous and surnamed idlers......"

“…… The four of them went all the way to the Chengnan Bazaar, in Li Erlang's cooked meat stall, one person was a disguise, Li Erlang didn't check for a while, and the other three people took away a few pieces of cooked beef, and the four of them touched a few green onions elsewhere, and Fang swaggered out of the bazaar."

“…… The four of them went to the Taibai Building in the south of the city, and begged for some residual wine in the hall, if there were guests who refused to be with, the four of them cursed badly, and some shopkeepers came out to persuade each other, and were kicked over by Wang Xiaoqi."

“…… After eating, the four of them went to Liujia Lane in the south of the city, crouched in the remote place and chatted, sometimes there were pedestrians here, the four of them whistled, came forward to punch and kick, stripped the pedestrian's clothes and ran away, to the north of the city Malai Shun pawn shop, got 300 Wen, and there were purses and other things, it is estimated that the total amount of money is about 800 Qianwen"

“…… Before the time, the four of them went to the east of the city [***] gambling stall until the unitary time"

“…… At that time, the four of them went to the dark kiln in the east of the city, and discussed with the kiln sister Liu Taohua for a while, which coincided with a foreign merchant coming to scoop, and the four of them extorted an unknown amount of silver.

“…… At that time, the four of them went to the Du Da Niang wine shop in the north of the city, ate and drank to their heart's content, and lied that they were relieved and went to the east of the city. ”

“…… When they met the night patrol soldiers on the road, the four of them cleverly bought medicine and got out, and then went to the east of the city [***] gambling stall"

“…… At that time, the four of them returned to the land temple in the south of the city to rest. ”

After reading it, Yang Bo sighed with a dark face, handed the note to He Jiu, and scolded angrily: "This bear child! ”

After reading it, He Jiu couldn't cry or laugh, who would have thought that Wang Xiaoliu was so heroic, but he gave birth to a son but was so unsuccessful, eating, drinking, gambling, cheating, abducting and cheating.

"Did you hear anything over there?" Yang Bo asked

He Jiu shook his head: "Lord Hui, I asked many Liaodong people, but I have never heard of the Tartar of Wulindai."

Yang Bo gritted his teeth and said: "Mention the reward again, as long as you know the whereabouts of this Wulindai, you will be given five hundred taels of silver after verification!" ”

He Jiu was startled, thought for a while and said, "My lord, what should I do with this little Qi?" ”

Yang Bo shook his head: "I'll go see him in person in two days." ”

On the second day, Yang Bo visited Tang Ruowang, who was busy arranging production, and when Yang Bo came back, Tang Ruowang excitedly took out a sample of a table clock for Yang Bo to see.

This is a relatively novel hardwood carved floor type self-striking bell, with clear paint three times, the carving on the top is complex and luxurious and fine, the balance and ratchet cover and other places have fine chisel flowers, the bell dial is made of brass, the twelve small East Pearls inlaid on it are used as timekeeping, but unfortunately due to the complexity of mechanical production, Yang Bo's original idea of the organ villain has not been designed for the time being.

"The last string could run for three days and nights"

John Tang said softly, "All the internal machinery is strictly in accordance with the style of the table clock, but the proportions are a little smaller. ”

"Not bad"

Yang Bo nodded, although this clock is far from exquisite in his eyes, it is definitely a luxury in this era, "Recruit more apprentices and teach them some mechanical knowledge at night, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort"

Of course, Yang Bo would not give up such an opportunity to squeeze John Tang, and said: "This bell will be given to me, I will give it away!" ”

"What?" Tang Ruowang jumped up: "No, absolutely not!" My lord, this bell has taken a lot of effort to make. What kind of trade fair do I expect it to shine at? ”

"Since the Qin Dynasty, there has never been a pure merchant in Huaxia," Yang Bo said to Tang Ruowang with a smile: "I am also thinking about your sales." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Tang Ruowang asked Lu Ruohan beside him inexplicably

"I don't know" Lu Ruohan shook his head: "I only know that your first grandfather clock is gone!" ”

Anton Wei ......

Wang Xiaoqi slept until noon before being woken up hungry, yesterday a brother heard that Liu Taohua, the kiln sister, caused some trouble, and a foreign businessman went to the county government to report to the official, of course he knew what was going on, and he didn't dare to go to the east of the city to hang out in the past two days, and wanted to go to the [***] gambling stall to try his luck and had no capital, thinking that this was a belly of fire.

I just wanted to call the three brothers up to go out to look for food, but I didn't expect someone outside the Land Temple to suddenly shout: "Wang Xiaoliu! Wang Xiaoliu! ”

Wang Xiaoqi's heart moved, and he quietly went to the crack in the wall to take a look, it turned out to be his dead ghost father's brother, what is Zhang Quan, I heard that he was on duty with the dead ghost father in what Zhou Mansion, he had seen it a few times before.

"What did he come to me for?" Wang Xiaoqi was a little confused and walked out cautiously.

"Little Seven!"

Zhang Quan was overjoyed when he saw him shrinking his head and braining, and stepped forward to take his hand and said, "I heard that you are here, and I don't know where you are hiding, so I tried to scream a few times, and you are really here." ”

Wang Xiaoqi said obediently: "What is Uncle Zhang looking for me?" ”

Zhang Quan looked at the sky, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he sighed and said: "Today, you just have to go with me, there will always be some benefits with you."

Wang Xiaoqi was overjoyed when he heard that it was beneficial, and he followed Zhang Quan regardless of the brothers in the temple, he asked a few times, but Zhang Quan refused to say anything.

In this way, Wang Xiaoqi followed Zhang Quan to a silk shop first, pulled a few feet of royal blue satin for him, and asked the shopkeeper to measure his figure, saying that he was making a dress for him.

Coming out of the silk shop, Zhang Quan took him to Andongwei's largest Shilixiang Restaurant, and now it happened to be noon, Zhang Quan couldn't find a seat, so he had to pull Wang Xiaoqi to sit in the hall downstairs, ordered eight big bowls, and ordered a few corners of wine.

Wang Xiaoqi is so hungry these days, who cares why Zhang Quan treats him well? Even if you kill the head, you will eat enough first, and then you will gobble it up at the moment, and what you eat is the wind and clouds. Zhang Quan didn't move his chopsticks much, just poured wine and cloth dishes for him.

"Uncle Zhang, what's the matter with looking for your little nephew? You just have to open your mouth to kill people and set fires, Anton Wei doesn't have anything that I, Wang Xiaoqi, can't do! Wang Xiaoqi wiped the grease mouth, picked up a chicken leg and asked.

"Xiao Qi, you're not too young, when will you be a head like this?" Zhang Quan's tone was heavy, and his eyes were red again.

"Uncle Zhang, I respect you as an elder...... Wang Xiaoqi's originally smiling face immediately put down

"Good. Uncle Zhang won't say much about you" Zhang Quan sighed, groped in his arms for a while, and took out a big silver ingot

Wang Xiaoqi's eyes were straight, staring at the ingot of silver and drooling.

"Uncle Zhang, which opponent are you going to kill?" Wang Xiaoqi leaned into Zhang Quan's ear and whispered. (To be continued.) )
