Chapter 6: The Daddy Stuff
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Zhou Huchen's training in Zhou Yuji's military camp finally came to an end.
Zhou Yuji is very satisfied with Zhou Huchen's recent performance, and he no longer goes out to hang out, so he has no chance to fight and make trouble, although he has consumed a lot of food in his army, but his son no longer makes trouble, and the training in the army seems to be working well, Yuji thinks that it is worth it.
After only two days at home, Zhou Huchen couldn't sit still, said hello to the old lady and his parents, and Zhou Huchen entered Zhou Yuji's military camp again.
Most of the soldiers have taken turns on vacation, and the soldiers and generals who stayed in the barracks couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they saw Zhou Huchen coming back again, and they all began to pray, Master Zhou, don't play any more moths, who can stand this big New Year.
Fortunately, Zhou Huchen's target this time was the firearms battalion, which made these soldiers finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The firearms battalion in Zhou Yuji's camp is called Ruihuo Battalion, and the battalion officer is named He Shijin, who is a noble son and a garrison. He Shijin's ancestor once became an earl, but unfortunately, with the changes of the times, that title is already yesterday's yellow flower, and now the He family has declined to serve as a middle-level military attache in the army.
He Shijin happened to be on duty in the camp, of course he knew Zhou Huchen, and when he was notified by his subordinates that the eldest young master had come to his camp, He Shijin was taken aback. Could it be that this eldest prince has taken a fancy to the firearms battalion, and he has to practice it during the New Year, thinking about the various bad moves of Young Master Zhou, which made He Shijin start to feel uneasy.
"Uncle He, Happy New Year!" As soon as Zhou Huchen entered the camp gate, he began to greet:
"Good! Good! Are the old lady and your mother all right? He Shijin accompanied the smiling face and hurriedly asked:
"Uncle He's blessings, it's all good!"
"That's good, come to Huzi, sit inside!"
"Uncle He, please first!"
While walking towards his barracks, He Shijin asked Zhou Huchen: "Huzi, it's not good to prepare for the New Year at home, why did you come here?" ”
"What's wrong with me at home, I'm stuffy and stuffy, come to your firearms camp to play!"
Come and play, He Shijin smiled bitterly, it's okay to play, don't use your own soldiers as targets, the firearms battalion is no better than other places, the things here are too dangerous.
"Tell me directly, what do you like about me? Don't be sloppy, your Uncle He is in charge, just open your mouth! Entering his own room, He Shijin was not polite, and asked directly, he wanted to send this little ancestor away quickly, saving him from causing trouble for himself.
"Uncle, you are the battalion officer of the firearms battalion, the little nephew has no other meaning to come today, and the little nephew will also enter the martial arts in the future, now I just want to know, what firearms do we have in the Ming Dynasty?"
"Oh, that's it! It's rare for Huzi to be so attentive, when it comes to firearms, that's a lot, I'll tell you about it in detail! "It's not good to deal with his own soldiers, He Shijin is relieved and began to introduce to Zhou Huchen: "Let's talk about this artillery first, the number one is naturally the Hongyi cannon, which is the most powerful and ranged artillery, in addition to the general cannon, the second general cannon, the tiger squat cannon, the exterminating cannon, and the Franco machine There are also various firearms; Bird Gun, Lumi Gun, Thunderbolt Gun, Lifting Gun, Nine-headed Bird, Five Thunder God Machine, Three-Eyed Gun, Five-Eyed Gun, Seven-Star Gun, Bowl Mouth Gun and Bowl Mouth Gun, and Self-generated Fire Gun, There is a swarm of bees, rockets, fire bricks, fire demons, and divine fire crows"
He Shijin immediately said that firearms were like a treasure, worthy of being the battalion officer of the firearms battalion, he began to list them carefully with his fingers crossed, and his expression was extremely focused.
Zhou Huchen was already a little dizzy, there were so many firearms, and he didn't know how easy it was, and it seemed that there were only a few firearms in his memory that were more practical, so he immediately began to ask: "There are too many firearms!" Uncle, tell me, what kind of firearms do we use most often? ”
"The most commonly used by infantry and cavalry is the three-eyed gun, and the most commonly used by artillery is the general cannon and tiger squat cannon."
"That's all?!"
"That's all, of course!"
Zhou Huchen was stunned for a moment, he looked at He Shijin in surprise and continued to ask: "Uncle, aren't there shotguns, Lumi guns, and thunderbolts?" With so many firebolts, why are they just using three-eyed guns? There are also a lot of those artillery, weishenme only uses general cannons and tiger squat cannons?! ”
He Shijin shook his head and explained to Zhou Huchen: "You don't understand this, fire guns, except for the three-eyed guns, who else dares to use them!" Lu Mi Gong is good! Do you know how expensive it is? Thunderbolts and a swarm of bees sound good, if that thing is not good, it is suicide, and as for the range, don't ask, it is fireworks!! Speaking of artillery, the Hongyi cannon is too heavy, and it can only defend the city, how can we use it, at most, it is to use the general cannon, and the most commonly used is the tiger squat cannon, which is convenient to use and cheap! ”
Zhou Huchen is a little stupid, cheat! There are so many firearms, and few of them are useful!
"Didn't you say that shotguns are good!? Why don't our musketeers use shotguns? ”
"Who do you listen to! Shotguns are easy to use! Did you know that nine times out of ten, a bird will blow up its chamber? Don't listen to those rumors! Or the three-eyed gun is more affordable, it is not easy to blow up, and it is the most convenient to hold! ”
After being silent for a long time, Zhou Huchen was completely stupid, Tai Nima cheated his father, and the history books really couldn't believe it! The boasted godlike firearms, as well as the advanced shotgun, are waste!!
"Uncle, how about the range of the bird's gun? How is the armor-piercing ability? Zhou Huchen was too disappointed, but in the end, he decided to find out thoroughly:
"Don't listen to the nonsense of the people outside! How can this bird gun be so powerful, the farthest range will not exceed 100 steps, as for armor piercing, thirty or forty steps is okay! Against heavy armor, that thing has to be within twenty steps! It's so easy to blow up! The reloading is too slow, and against the cavalry, there is only one chance at most, and you have to prevent the explosion of the chamber, who dares to use it! ”
Firearms Pit Daddy! This historical record is also cheating! Knowing this, Zhou Huchen was about to despair.
"In fact, firearms are unusable, the most important thing is the problem of manufacturing, those responsible officials are not careful, craftsmen are not careful, not to mention this firearms, the most important thing is to create problems, no one wants to use soldiers, as a leading general, you can't force your soldiers to commit suicide!" He Shijin spoke again, and he completely solved the mystery in his heart for Zhou Huchen:
The quality is not up to par, what firearms need is precision manufacturing, it seems that there are still problems caused by many aspects, Zhou Huchen felt helpless. He originally had a reliance on this crossing, he was a student of light industry machinery, and those mechanical principles were in his memory. However, in this state, his jishu is useless at all.
This Nima is a tragedy! Zhou Huchen is no longer grateful to the card master who changed his fate, and Trist is also cheating on his father!
Looking at Zhou Huchen, who was full of dejection, He Shijin understood that this eldest young master seemed to be disappointed with firearms.
"Huzi, don't be too disappointed, Uncle still has good things here! Or take a look! In order to make Zhou Huchen happy, He Shijin decided to let him watch something:
This firearms battalion disappointed Zhou Huchen too much, what good things could He Shijin have? What Zhou Huchen needs is a kind of conventional firearm that has combat effectiveness, and he also needs a convenient and reassuring conventional firearm, in the final analysis, he needs a firecracker, and the three-eyed gun is a flamethrower. And the bird, forget it, think about it, it is also in line with historical logic, in historical records, this godlike thing did not play any role in the historical period of the Southern Ming Dynasty at all! It seems that the historical record of the bird gun is a little too powerful, and it can't be a conventional weapon that meets its own requirements in the current situation.
"Oh, what else is there to be good stuff in my uncle?" Zhou Huchen was already uninterested, and his answer was absent-minded:
"Uncle, there's another weapon here! You can break through the iron armor in seventy or eighty steps, do you want to give it a try? ”
"Is it Rumi?"
He Shijin smiled, this eldest young master still seems to be really smart, and he knows what he is talking about as soon as he hears it.
"The production of the Lu Mi Gong is too difficult, it requires fine iron, and it also requires extremely high-level craftsmen to make it, although the power and range are good, but these shortcomings of its own make it impossible for him to produce it in large quantities!" Zhou Huchen can be regarded as a final sentence for Lu Miquan:
Is it difficult to make it difficult for you to do anything, He Shijin is a little puzzled, isn't it just to play? Can't I give you a fire gun to play with? Why do you have to be so careful?
"Oh, by the way, uncle, how many Lu Mi guns are there in our camp?" Zhou Huchen suddenly remembered that although this Lumi gun was expensive, it could accumulate some of it, which was more valuable than the bird gun and the three-eyed gun.
"Fifty, fifty in total, this thing is generally not allowed to be used casually, it's too expensive! Uncle made an exception today, Huzi can have a play! ”
"Alright! Anyway, I'm here, so I'm going to play Lu Mi Gun today. ”
Disappointment to disappointment, Zhou Huchen decided to take a look, if this Lu Mi Gong is really useful, he can think of another way, it is better than no hope.
