The blacksmiths of the Ming Dynasty are actually very good, the key is a question of supervision or not, the craftsmen's workshops of the imperial court have long been rotten, and the officials themselves are not taken seriously, and the people below will naturally let go of you to fool you, and now there are well-equipped axe teams to watch, and the blacksmiths take more money than before, and the food is even more different, and the motivation is naturally a lot higher.

When the news came out, Song Qing was playing the role of passer-by in the supermarket, carefully observing what vegetables the people liked, and immediately led people to rush over after getting the report, and when he arrived at the gate of the blacksmith camp, he happened to see Zhao Manxiong and Ding Kui coming in a hurry, and there seemed to be a few Lang Zhong in the entourage, and the two of them were full of worry, Song Qing was curious, so he asked: "What's wrong with the two of you, a bitter look of a dead mother and Lao Tzu, what is this Lang Zhong doing next to you?" ”

Ding Kui said with a pretentious matter: "Lang Zhong is to treat people's injuries, Brother Qing doesn't want to try the fire gun, we have all seen this object in the capital, killing your own people is called a terrible, Brother Qing'er, you must not touch this thing yourself, let those blacksmiths use it and then talk about it!" ”

Song Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lao Ding, I naturally won't touch it myself, at least not the first one, but this thing was made by me and I made it, and it should be much better than those that are uneven in Beijing, and there won't be any things like exploding." ”

"It's better to be careful, and when we try the guns, everyone will be farther away. That's so unreliable! Ding Kui muttered a few words, and saw that Song Qing had already entered the camp gate, so he had to follow Zhao Manxiong left and right. It's just that he always beats the drum in his heart, and the scene on the head of the capital city impresses him too deeply.

In fact, not only does he have no bottom in his heart, but Song Qing also has no bottom in his heart, and in his previous life, he occasionally read the novels of the late Ming Dynasty, and they all said that this fire gun is the foundation of restraining Houjin, and naturally there have been some explosions, but if you haven't experienced it yourself. You can't imagine what kind of fear it is, and you are waiting for adults with confidence, but in the blink of an eye, the iron sand and broken iron will beat you all over the face. went directly to the palace of the king of Hades, and some of the slow reactions estimated that they didn't know how they died.

These firecrackers were made by himself with an axe, and there should be no problem with the quality, but given the reputation of this thing. Song Qing still decided to be cautious. led people to the workshop where the fire guns were made, and happened to see the blacksmiths standing in a row, and behind them stood the same neatly arranged supervision team, the axe on his waist was shining in the sun, Song Qing did not delay, nodded slightly to everyone, called the old blacksmith head who came over the capital, and asked, "Everything has been made?" ”

"Back to adults. A total of 20 firearms, please take a look! The old blacksmith seemed very confident. I took a rod casually, and his expression was somewhat colorful, and he introduced it to Song Qing: "My lord doesn't see, this is my Ming Dynasty's bird gun, but this object is not created by my Ming Dynasty, but the imperial court recovered Shuangyu during the Jiajing period, and got it from the Francois and the Japanese Kou, the Japanese seem to be called an iron cannon, and after taking it back, it has changed a little, and it has become this kind of bird gun today, and this is what Grandpa Qi's foot camp used back then." ”

"Zhilu said, the Japanese learned it from the red hair, and I've heard of this thing." Song Qing took the firearm over, and made a general observation, seeing that this object was about six feet long and weighed about seven or eight catties, although he didn't dare to say that it was tightly fitted, but it looked exquisite, at least from the appearance, he was still quite satisfied, so he asked: "How far can this thing hit?" ”

The old blacksmith pondered for a moment and said, "Two hundred steps up and down, and it's hard to say if it's farther away." ”

"It's hard to say when you get close, I'll just stand here, you go back away and hit me with this thing, if you can wipe the side, God will give face." Song Qing said that, seeing the old blacksmith's embarrassed face, he smiled and said: "It's not that you can't do it, it's not like this thing now, so everyone has to line up to fight." ”

"That's what your lord said!" The old blacksmith was somewhat surprised, but thinking that Song Qing had also fought in the capital, it was estimated that he had seen the battle of the Shenji Battalion, so he was immediately relieved, picked up another one, and said respectfully: "Since the adults have seen it, wait for the little old man to try out this fire gun technique for the adults!" ”

Song Qing nodded and said, "Very good, you are also from the Shenji Battalion, and I am about to see your methods!" ”

The old blacksmith was not ambiguous, and immediately picked up the fire gun and manipulated it, Song Qing observed carefully, and saw that the old man first poured the gunpowder from the medicine jar into the medicine tube, and then poured it into the gun from the mouth of the gun, poked it a few times, and after seeing the porcelain, he began to put lead pills in it, and then poked it with a stick, and then grinned at Song Qing, who was very concerned, and said: "My lord, you must remember to take it out after this pass is stamped, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what it is!" Song Qing agreed with this move, and Ding Kui and Zhao Manxiong also nodded busily.

Then, the old blacksmith poured the gunpowder in the powder jar into the fire door of the medicine room, filled the medicine room, and connected it with the gunpowder in the chamber, and then closed the fire door cover, and finally loaded the fire rope into the faucet clamp of the trigger, knelt on one knee, lit the fire rope with a fire twist, and aimed at the wooden board in the distance, but in a few moments, the fire rope was all burned out, and with a loud bang, a cloud of white smoke erupted from the mouth of the gun, and a number of sunspots burst out, nailing the wooden board densely, and a few slightly brittle ones were directly broken.

"Okay, it's a sharp weapon!" Song Qing greatly appreciated it, although this thing is not as good as those modern firearms he had seen in his previous life, but the power is really not small, especially in terms of the medical conditions of this era, if it is really damaged by this thing, it can be saved It is really an ancestral virtue.

Everyone else was stunned, although everyone had seen the Shenji Battalion fighting in the capital, but at that time, the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and everyone didn't know how long the Dao could live, and they didn't have the heart to think about this thing carefully, and now they observed the power of this fire gun at close range, and they were immediately impressed, Xue Wu looked at the fire gun in the old blacksmith's hand, and then looked at the big knife on his waist, and couldn't help but say a little speechlessly: "This thing is really powerful, no matter how strong the martial arts are, I'm afraid I can't stop it, if thousands of people put it together, wouldn't it be invincible!" ”

"It's not easy to say that, the Guan Ning Army also has a lot of these things, as well as red-clothed cannons, and the Shenji Battalion is even equipped with this kind of firecracker, and what kind of three-eyed guns and the like, but you look at what it looks like to be beaten by Jiannu, after all, it is a human being who fights, and how weapons are just auxiliary." When Song Qing said this, he thought that the Japanese army and the Qing army during the First Sino-Japanese War were both spears and fast artillery steamers, and the weapons of the Qing army were even more advanced than the Japanese army.

However, this is a big deal, obviously it has nothing to do with the fire in front of him, Song Qing just felt it, and then asked the old blacksmith: "How much can this thing be made in a month?" ”

"Based on the current manpower, it's about 80 strokes a month."

"So little?"

"My lord, some of these twenty strokes are molds brought from Zunhua, and it took three or five days of work, so I can only start from scratch." The old blacksmith looked a little embarrassed, blinked his eyes and said, "If you are in a hurry, you can do it up and down one hundred and twenty strokes, but do you dare to use that thing?" ”

This is true, so real that he poked Song Qingqi pipe, so that he couldn't say a word, and after a while, his mind sobered up, so he had to say helplessly: "I'll continue to help you find manpower, if you can't go to Nanzhili and Shandong to find more blacksmiths, you try your best to do it for me, and do more on the premise of ensuring quality, I will also hand over those children to you, bring out an apprentice who can make it independently, and I will give you ten taels of silver, so don't have any secrets, do you understand?" ”

The old blacksmith hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, my lord, although the production of this firearm is complicated, it is not a secret, there are many craftsmen in the Shenji Camp who can do it, and even some skilled soldiers can make it out, and the little old man will definitely not hide it!" ”

"That's good!" Song Qing said two more words of encouragement, and suddenly asked, "Is this thing unusable if it rains or snows?" ”

"Exactly, that's why there is also a kind of wheel lighter on the side of the Shenji Battalion, but there are not many of them, and they are all bought from the Franc Machine." When the old blacksmith said this, he said with some regret: "Little Lao'er originally planned to learn, but he was in a hurry, and then he was arrested by Jiannu, so he has not been able to figure it out, but he has always carried the drawings with him, do you want to see it?" ”

"There are drawings, so what are you waiting for, hurry up and take them out and I'll see them!" Hearing that there were drawings, Song Qing was immediately very interested, and hurriedly ordered the old blacksmith to go back to the house to get them, and after a while, the drawings were delivered, and he roughly observed it, and saw that it was indeed the kind of flintlock firecracker, and immediately overjoyed, and said to the old blacksmith: "You supervise the construction of the firerope for me during the day, and at night you ponder this kind of flintlock firecracker of the wheel, if you can really make it, I will give you another fifty taels of silver!" ”

"Little old man obeys!" The old blacksmith obviously didn't expect that he could earn fifty taels of silver for this kind of hobby, and immediately felt that Song Qing Dasheng was a confidant, if it weren't for the too much difference between the two sides, he almost had to come forward and hug, and after thinking about it left and right, he suddenly said: "The dog tag that the adult said before, Xiao Lao'er also tried to make some here, and it is estimated that there are about two hundred, why don't you see if it is appropriate?" ”

Song Qing didn't expect to have so much to gain from coming to the blacksmith camp, Da Lu smiled and said: "Take them all, the new camp will be built immediately, and there will be an inaugural meeting at that time, you can just use this dog tag, and there will be a reward for this!" ”

The second update of the day, there is another chapter in the evening! (To be continued......)
