Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Chinese craftsmen are not lacking in wisdom, with the full support of Gu Zhenhua, as well as Xiyi firearms as a reference, plus the number of jΓΉ that is constantly fed back from the front. The latest production of the firebolt already represents a pinnacle.

Weighing less than ten pounds, the gun tube is slender and straight, with a dark metallic luster, and the comfortable butt, like an extension of the arm, is equipped with sharp three-edged thorns in front, so that the firecracker has the ability to protect himself.

Although Zuo Liangyu can't read big characters, he is also a general soldier, and he is quite familiar with weapons.

"Mr. Xia, is this what Ann ** is equipped? How far can you hit? ”

"Hahaha, Zuo Shuai, this is the latest firearm produced by An**, and only the guard regiment is equipped in the whole army. As for the range, at a distance of one hundred and twenty paces, it can penetrate a layer of armor! ”

"One, one hundred and twenty!"

Zuo Mengeng on the side shook his head like a rattle, and said again and again: "How is this possible, it would be good if an ordinary firearm could hurt the enemy at a distance of thirty steps, if it reached one hundred and twenty steps, wouldn't the enemy have only one way to die!" ”

"Young marshal, do you think the 40,000 heads cut off in northern Henan are fake?"

This question immediately choked Zuo Mengeng, his eyes rolled wildly, and he said in horror: "Mr. Xia, did you really kill 40,000 Tartars?" ”

"Of course, An ** will not kill good people!"

At this moment, Zuo Mengeng's face was flushed, isn't his father good at killing good and risking merits, every time he gets a result, it's good to have one-tenth of it! Treat people with themselves, although they know that An ** won the battle against the Tartars. But I can't believe that tens of thousands of people can be killed!

It's Zuo Liangyu, whose skin is thick enough. didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, Ben Shuai wants to try the power of the firecracker." ”

"Zuo Shuai, please."

Zuo Liangyu asked people to take the fire gun and went directly to the back garden, and after the charge was completed, Zuo Liangyu took matters into his own hands, lit the fire rope, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A cloud of smoke rises. The bullet hit a rockery exactly one hundred and fifty paces away, causing the powder to crack and splash everywhere.

A look of horror flashed in Zuo Liangyu's eyes, and he said in disbelief: "Xia, Mr. Xia, I'm afraid you still have reservations about your words!" ”

Xia Shouli smiled mysteriously and was noncommittal.

Zuo Liangyu came to the spirit. Hurriedly found dozens of firecrackers, and then asked people to bring over more than 20 fat pigs, all of which were put in the back garden.

"It's all good for Ben Shuai, shoot at a hundred paces away, and if you are killed, you will open the meat, and if you can't hit. Just sweep the pigsty for me! ”

Zuo Liangyu scolded the soldiers, and these people also raised the fire gun tremblingly. They can't compare with An **'s training, and when they shoot, they are uneven, with clouds of gunpowder rising and bullets flying. The fat pig heard the gunshots. Scared to scurry around, but how could these brutes outrun the lead pellets? They were hit one after another and fell to the ground in pain.

When the smoke cleared, even the soldiers who shot were stunned, only two or three of the two dozen fat pigs ran away, and the others all fell in pools of blood. Some of their heads were broken, some of their intestines were rotten, and some were still humming and chirping in pain!

"Dashuai, this is a hundred steps!" The soldier cried out in surprise.

Although they also saw the extraordinaryness of these firearms, they never imagined that they could hit such a long distance, and the killing was still so ferocious!

Zuo Liangyu's eyes are even more scorching, as if he is about to burst into flames, obediently! If there is such a sharp firearm, ask the world, who is still his opponent Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Mengeng ran in front of the fat pig corpse, looked carefully, and the bullets all hit the bones, and even shattered the bones, it was really sharp!

These people were so surprised, Xia Shouli looked disdainful, the fire gun is useless, and there must be good soldiers. These people under Zuo Liangyu don't even understand cooperation, and when they get to the battlefield, most of them are to deliver food to An **.

Of course, Xia Shouli would not say this, his face was full of joy: "Zuo Shuai, look at the power of the fire gun!" ”

"Good! Good! That's nice! ”

Zuo Liangyu praised repeatedly: "No wonder An ** can look at it, such a sharp fire gun is really amazing." ”

Zuo Liangyu said, looked at Xia Shouli's expression, and then said: "Mr. Xia, this handsome man has always admired the Duke of Ji Guo, since he is also a general with troops, I dare to ask for it, I don't know if you can give a little more firearms, these fifty are probably not enough!" ”

Zuo Mengeng was even more hopeful, and couldn't help but say: "That's right, if there are 500 strokes, 1,000 strokes are about the same, we don't want it in vain, we can pay for it!" ”

Xia Shouli shook his head slightly: "Zuo Shuai, young marshal, don't embarrass me, An ** is on the front line, strong enemy ring feeding, this is the magic weapon of the brothers to save their lives, it is very difficult to make zuΓ², every shot is expensive, and even if you are willing to spend money, you may not be able to make it." ”

Zuo Liangyu is also a barbaric person, and he was rejected by Xia Shouli, and he also sank his face.

"Mr. Xia, Ben Shuai still has something to do, so I won't stay long!"

Xia Shouli also hurriedly said goodbye, looking at his back, Zuo Mengeng took a sip: "What's the big deal, there are craftsmen in Huguang, I don't believe it can't be made!" ”

Zuo Liangyu nodded: "Son, this fire hammer is the key, we can't fall behind Gu Zhenhua, you go to the craftsman immediately, let them make it!" ”

Zuo Mengeng nodded immediately, but after three days of hurrying, he found Zuo Liangyu with red eyes, spread his hands, and cried with a face!

"Father, you can't make it!"

"What? Didn't you tell them, as long as you make a fire gun, Ben Shuai will not hesitate to reward. ”

"Father, the child is coercive and tempting, even the beauties have been sent, as long as they can be imitated, nothing is a problem. But they said that they couldn't even make fine iron for making guns, and as for the pipes, the small parts were even more difficult. They estimated that even if they could produce a firecracker, it would cost at least three hundred taels of silver. ”

"Three hundred taels? How can there be so many? ”

"Father Qi, they said that the main thing is that there are too many defective products. According to the standard of this gun, nine out of ten of our firecrackers are not qualified. ”

β€œTmd!” Zuo Liangyu was so angry that he scolded his mother. "Gu Zhenhua, how did they get it, why do they have the financial resources and the ability to produce such a good firebolt?"

Zuo Mengeng cried with a sad face: "Father, the child really doesn't know." ”

At this time, someone suddenly came to report, saying that it was the general Zhang Yingyuan who asked to see him!

Zuo Liangyu hurriedly asked people to invite Zhang Yingyuan in. Zhang Yingyuan is stocky and extraordinarily stout. A pair of triangular eyes, shining with a cunning light.

After seeing Zuo Liangyu, he hurriedly said: "Dashuai, there is something to report for your humble position." ”

"Say it."

"I heard that there are merchants who have firearms for sale."

Firebolt!

Now when they hear these two words, Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Mengeng's eyes are lit up.

"What kind of firebolt?"

"Dashuai, I heard that it's An's **'s firecracker!"

"What?" Zuo Liangyu stood up suddenly, and couldn't help but say in horror: "How is this possible." Ben Shuai also asked Xia Shouli just now, wanting him to give him a little more firearms, but he said no, how could an ordinary businessman get it? ”

Zuo Mengeng also said: "I don't believe either, the sharp weapon of the country cannot be shown." Gu Zhenhua is not crazy. How can you let a merchant sell a firecracker, it's a fantasy! ”

Zhang Yingyuan said with a smile: "The big marshal, the young marshal, the humble position also thinks so, but this businessman did take out a sample of the firecracker." Look at it or not! ”

Saying that, Zhang Yingyuan asked people to take out a fire gun and put it in front of Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu picked it up and took a look. Immediately taken aback, this fire gun was exactly the same as the one sent by Xia Shouli.

"Lao Zhang, where is that businessman, Ben Shuai is going to see him now."

"Yes, I'll bring him right away."

Not long after, a businessman less than forty came to the Shuai Mansion, he was wearing a green coat and a small hat, and after seeing Zuo Liangyu, he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"The villain meets Zuo Dashuai!"

"Hahaha, villain, you're not small, tell me, what's your name, how do you have the ability to get a firecracker?"

"Back to the left handsome, the villain's name is Wu Shouye, he was originally a businessman in Xuzhou, speaking of firearms, the villain has his own way, the villain wants it, the villain will definitely help you get it."

Zuo Mengeng stared at the side: "Bold, if you don't make it clear, who knows if this fire gun is real or fake, and how many there are, if there is only such a shot, is it worth our fight?" ”

When Wu Shouye heard this, he gritted his teeth: "Since this is the case, I will dare to say it." In addition to the pipes, other components are in charge of the businessmen, and then sent to the arsenal to assemble and weld together. The villain was lucky enough to contract some, and he had extra parts in his hands. ”

"What if there is excess, what can you do without a gun?"

Wu Shouye hurriedly smiled: "The handsome don't know, this gun pipe also has a yield rate, the villain bought the craftsmen inside, let them report a little more defective products, and then they can take the opportunity to take out the best gun pipe from the waste heap unconsciously!" ”

Gu Zhenhua's control of the arsenal is so tight, and how can there be such a mistake! It's just that it was in Zuo Liangyu's ears, but it was seamless.

He couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Gu Zhenhua to be famous and be played with by a small businessman. Ben Shuai asks you, how many guns can you sell? ”

"Two hundred!" Wu Shouye said unceremoniously.

"It's too little, at least a thousand." Zuo Mengeng said.

Wu Shouye deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, his eyes rolled, and he thought for a long time before he said: "Zuo Dashuai, you have to protect the safety of the villain!" ”

"Don't worry, as long as Ben Shuai lives for one day, you can't die!" Zuo Liangyu said loudly: "How much do you want for a fire gun?" ”

"Three hundred taels of silver, the minimum cannot be less than two hundred and eighty taels!"

"What?" Zuo Mengeng's eyes widened: "Why don't you go and grab the money?" The cost of an ordinary firearm is only ten taels, and a mouth is dozens of times, are you a fool when we are father and son? ”

Wu Shouye's face was miserable: "Young marshal, you can ask casually, except for An **, who has such a fine firebolt?" ”

"That's not worth the price!"

Wu Shouye said: "If you don't give money, if you can give food, I will admit it!" ”
