After discussing the refined salt, Lin Feng and Li Xiancai noticed the Mini rifle in Pang Gang's hand, and Lin Feng asked curiously, "My lord, what kind of bird gun are you holding in your hand, why does it look different from the bird gun we use now?" ”

Pang Gang raised the Minnie gun in his hand and said with a smile: "This is a new type of firearm newly bought by this official, I am about to try it to see how powerful it is, how about it, let's go to the school to test the gun together." ”

"Okay!" Although Lin Feng is a civil official, he is also very interested in firearms, and he couldn't help but itch in his heart after seeing the Minny gun in Pang Gang's hand, so he pulled Li Xian and followed Pang Gang to the school field.

At this time, thousands of recruits were training under the leadership of various officers, some practicing walking in the right steps, some practicing marksmanship, and some practicing target shooting.

After arriving at the shooting range, Pang Gang found that Da Zhuang was practicing shooting with hundreds of recruits, but this was only the surname of the skilled person who practiced shooting and the surname of the weapon he was familiar with. Now the shooting range is full of "bumper" gunshots, and after seeing Pang Gang coming, Da Zhuang hurriedly greeted him, "My lord, why do you have time to come to the shooting range today to watch us practice?" ”

"you, you're really feeling good, your lord took us to try out a new gun." Lin Feng on the side laughed and scolded.

"Try a new gun?" Da Zhuang's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he swept to the new gun in Pang Gang's hand, Da Zhuang had been playing with the bird gun for a long time, and at this time, he could see at a glance that this was definitely not any firearm he had ever seen or used.

"My lord, is this the new gun you brought?"

"Yes!" Pang Gang nodded with a smile, and then scolded Da Zhuang with a smile: "You guy, don't hurry up and clear the field, the official is going to prepare to test the gun." ”

"Yes!" Seeing that Da Zhuang was happy to hunt his heart, he immediately blew the sharp whistle hanging on his neck, and the sharp sound instantly sounded on the shooting range, and when he heard the whistle, all the recruits on the shooting range immediately stopped their movements, and everyone began to move closer to Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang took a deep breath and said to the recruits: "Brothers, today the huge people are coming here to visit everyone, and everyone quickly applauds and welcomes the huge people. ”

"Whoa, whoa, whoa"

The recruits hung the back of the gun king, all applauded, the voice was very neat, and it was said that this unit wanted to applaud Pang Gang's first initiative, it stands to reason that the army of the Ming Dynasty is not happy to applaud this set, but since Pang Gang led the troops, he found that when he spoke or lectured in the army, he always lacked something, and then Pang just found out that no one applauded himself, so the action of applause was officially introduced into the Ming army by this guy.

Now that Pang Gang saw that Da Zhuang actually gave him such a hand, he glared at Da Zhuang with some irony and said, "You have a lot of strange things." Hurry up and put a target in front of the official and put it three hundred steps away. ”

"Oh, sir, are you wrong, it's thirty paces away." Da Zhuang just answered, but then he was taken aback.

Pang Gang scolded angrily and funny: "You kid, this official is not old enough to even speak clearly, let you let you go, remember, it's three hundred steps away!" ”

"Yes!" After being trained by Pang Gang, Da Zhuang didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly ordered the two recruits to carry a target the size of a round table for eating to three hundred paces away and put it away.

After seeing that the target was placed, everyone looked at Pang Gang with blank eyes, Pang Gang smiled, took out a package of ammunition from his arms, tore it open, poured it into the barrel, and then stabbed it a few times with a long strip, and then picked up the gun and aimed at the target in front of him through the crosshair.

The people around them all held their breath, for these recruits, this huge man is probably crazy today, and he actually put the target so far away, it is estimated that he can't even rub the skin of the target at such a distance, let alone any lethality. And Da Zhuang also had an irrepressible smile on his face, in his opinion, today's huge people are purely here to amuse everyone.

Pang Gang ignored the boys next to him who were ready to watch the excitement, held his breath, looked at the target in front of him and gently pulled the trigger, "bumped" a gunshot, and a familiar recoil crashed into Pang Gang's shoulder from the butt of the Minnie gun, Pang Gang squinted into the distance, and said softly: "Let's go, let's go see the target!" ”

When everyone followed Pang Gang to the target, everyone gasped.

"The hiss can't be real, right? Or hell today? Da Zhuang rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the target in front of him again.

It was a target made of cedar, two inches thick (about sixty millimeters), and now there was a small hole in the center of the pine, and the bullet was gone. When Pang Gang walked behind the target to observe, he found that a hole the size of a bowl had been rotted behind the cedar tree, but the bullet was missing. After some searching, they finally found the buckshot that had been twisted more than ten steps behind the target.

"My lord, my wife, what kind of gun are you!" Da Zhuang was suppressed, as he has been through a few battles, he knows very well, this is definitely an epoch-making firearm, it can penetrate two inches of fir at a distance of three hundred and fifty steps, which means that at this distance can also penetrate those Qing soldiers wearing three layers of heavy armor, the most important thing is that it is not as inaccurate as the original Lu Mi Gong, using it to engage the enemy means where to fight! Da Zhuang didn't dare to imagine what level of combat effectiveness would rise if the whole army was equipped with this kind of firearms.

Pang Gang suppressed the joy in his heart and began to think. 300 steps is equivalent to about 450 meters in later generations, if the Mini gun can hit a distant target at this distance, it proves that this new weapon can not only shoot at a considerable distance, but also the accuracy has approached or reached the standard of the rifle of the First World War, so that with this sharp weapon can be invincible in this era.

At this time, Da Zhuang came to Pang Gang's side excitedly and asked, "My lord, this bird is so powerful, what is its name?" ”

Pang Gang smiled: "It's not a bird's gun, you can call it a Mini-style rifle." Although the world's first rifled gun was cashed out, Pang Gang didn't bother to think about the name anymore, so he called it according to its original name.

"Mini-rifles? It's a new name. Da Zhuang said a few words in his mouth. Then he asked with a twinkle in his eyes, "My lord, when are you going to replace all of us with this thing?" This thing is too exciting, a killing distance of 300 steps! Killing Tartars with this thing isn't like playing! ”

"Dress-up?" Hearing this, Pang Gang couldn't help but smile bitterly, the 10,000 catties of tungsten ore sent just now let him use up after cashing in a hundred Mini rifles, this is the output of the Laizhou mine in the past ten days, it seems that there is still a long way to go to get all the troops to change their clothes.

"Da Zhuang, there aren't so many rifles for you now, and if you want to change them all, you'll have to wait for a while, so you can make do with those Lumi guns first." Pang Gang patted Da Zhuang's shoulder with some apologies, this time he decided to be selfish and use the hundred Mini rifles for his own personal guards first, after all, his own safety is the most important thing.

Just as Pang Gang wanted to say something to Da Zhuang, a sergeant on horseback hurriedly came, he took out an envelope from his bosom and handed it to Pang Gang and said, "My lord, this is an official document from the Ministry of War. ”

Pang Gang took the official document and looked at it, it turned out to be the piece he submitted last month, on which was written with a red pen "the next is not an example" four big characters, the handwriting is strong and powerful, much stronger than the brush words that he is good at crawling, and it is also stamped with the official seal of the Ministry of War. It seems that the chapter submitted by himself to protect Wei Jiang and report the Dengzhou commander to Tongzhi Wang Zhong's greed for ink has been approved, and it seems that the emperor still gives himself a lot of face, but when Pang Gang turned the next page, there was a notice of punishment from the Ministry of War that he was fined for half a year, and Pang Gang really couldn't laugh or cry.

When he circulated this punishment notice to everyone, everyone held back their laughter, Da Zhuang was the first old man to follow Pang Gang, and he was relatively straightforward, so he smiled directly: "My lord, this punishment of the military department is really a fart in his pants, it's too much!" ”

"Hahaha," everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard Da Zhuang's words.

"You're a big man." Pang Gang pointed at Da Zhuang helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "If your words are heard by the people in the Ministry of War, you, the deputy Qianhu, will definitely have to be pushed to the end." ”

Da Zhuang said with no scheming: "What are you afraid of, my deputy Qianhu is not so much given by the imperial court, but by the adult, if there is no adult, I and the dog don't know where to dig wild vegetables to eat, where is the opportunity to wear this official uniform." Besides, even if the imperial court doesn't let me be this bird thousand households, as long as you say a word, who would dare to say that I am not a thousand households within a radius of hundreds of miles in Qingzhou. ”

Pang Gang was slightly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly reprimanded: "Bastard, you dare to say such things, aren't you afraid that the court will blame you?" ”

Da Zhuang touched his head and said with a smile: "My lord said that I am joking, all of you here are your own brothers, who will leak my words, everyone said yes, right?" ”

Li Xian also said: "Thanks to the love of adults, one by one, we have become hundreds, thousands of households, and wardens, and no matter how bad we are, we have built a house and married a daughter-in-law, are these all given by the imperial court?" If you want me to say, these are bullshit, only following adults is the right reason, isn't this the reason? ”

"That's it, follow the adults to get ahead!" The crowd chimed in.

I observed the expressions of several subordinates, Pang Gang was also sure that what they said was true, it seems that using feelings and interests to maintain loyalty is the strongest bond, it seems that even if he turns against the court in the future, these people will not hesitate to stand on their side
