Smack-smack-smack-

A dense burst of gunfire was heard at a shooting range far from the core of the Daming Lumbermill.

Zhu Fugui was wearing a special grass-green military uniform with no military rank but only the sun and moon insignia, and was shooting with a beautiful steel gun.

With the recoil of the rifle, Zhu Fugui also swayed back and forth.

"Long live the master, good marksmanship!"

After Zhu Fugui finished a round of shots, the old eunuch Li hurriedly brought a handkerchief to wipe Zhu Fugui's sweat.

"Long live Lord, you really have the demeanor of the first emperor back then, the first emperor was also riding on a horse like this with a fire hammer in his hand, and with just one shot, he shot down the Manchu prefect......"

"So-so, I've learned one-tenth of my father's ability."

Zhu Fugui handed the rifle that had already been shot in his hand and the spring ejected to Donald beside him.

The latter took the snatch, stretched his neck and looked at the smooth and new target paper fifty meters away, and wondered if it was time for him to re-apply his glasses.

Although Chinese has not yet been introduced, Donald can still feel that neither the Chinese gangster nor the number one courtier next to him seem to be discouraged by the fact that all ten shots missed the target.

At the same time, the guard Yang Liu trotted over and took off the target paper to retrieve it.

Donald took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

At this time, there are already ten more holes on the target paper, and 9 are within 10 rings, and only 1 is on 9 rings.

But there were no burn marks on the hole due to the high-speed passage of the bullet.

It's not so much a bullet hole as it is a ......

Donald glanced at Yang Liu's little thumb suspiciously.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Zhu Fugui had already picked up the target paper.

With a few clicks, Zhao Aqian took out his black and white camera and quickly took another set of photos.

"On June 17, 237 years of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Emperor tested a new gun at the 3rd shooting range."

"His Majesty the Emperor, who has a family background, is a natural marksman, and as early as a child, he shot down two swallows at once with a slingshot."

"This time, His Majesty the Emperor test-fired the Henry 1860 rifle, which will soon be installed in the 1st Division of our Royal Army. In this test firing, His Majesty the Emperor achieved a good score of 99 rings......"

……

It's not that Zhu Fugui doesn't want to rely on his strength to hit a high ring, but even in later generations, the hit rate of standing shooting is very low.

In the past, when he was in military training, Zhu Fugui once played a Bayi rifle.

However, there was an instructor on the side to guide at that time, and it was still shooting in a lying position.

Just like in games such as CS and Chicken, the accuracy of shooting in the lying position is higher than that of the squatting position, and the squatting position is higher than the standing position.

But it is obvious that only the heroic posture of His Majesty the Emperor standing and shooting a gun is suitable for the cover of the first issue of "Daming Times".

The top ten in the class in lying shooting that year made Zhu Fugui have some unrealistic fantasies.

Thinking about standing and shooting, how can you hit fifty or sixty rings.

As a result, I didn't expect the recoil of this old-fashioned rifle to be not small, and Zhu Fugui almost didn't even hold the gun, and it was almost to the sky.

Thankfully, in the end, the bullets magically hit the target.

This may be the skill of shaking the gun!

Zhu Fugui was very satisfied with this.

"Sangui, I'm very satisfied with the batch of rifles you brought, and the price won't let you suffer." Zhu Fugui smiled and patted Donald on the shoulder.

This made the latter breathe a sigh of relief.

Donald is not worried that Zhu Fugui has no money.

Zhu Fugui had some knowledge of the clothing trade with the British, and Donald as an agent.

A full 20,000 sets of high-quality summer military uniforms cost only $4.50 each, and a high-quality military bag is included.

This is an offer that the British can't refuse at all, and Zhu Fugui easily got the order.

Although the unit price is low, it is also a big business of $90,000.

Donald didn't know how much Zhu Fugui could earn.

In particular, the value of this new type of "silk", which is called Zhenliang, is immeasurable.

However, according to the profit margin of silk, Donald still boldly estimated that this Boss Zhu earned at least more than $20,000 in this order.

After thinking about it, Donald decided to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, if you can wait a little longer, in the fall, I should have a way to get a batch of revolver rifles and trap Springfield rifles, this kind of Henry rifle is too wasteful of bullets, and it is ...... powerful"

"No, no, no, dear Comrade Sangui, I like this rifle very much, so be it." Zhu Fugui replied.

Jokes aside, the Henry 1860 is a serious quick-loading rifle designed and invented in 1848 by New York inventor Walter Hunt.

This rifle can rotate the front of the tubular magazine by simply turning the barrel over and pushing the exposed cartridge plate forward by 2mm.

Counting one preloaded bullet, the Henry 1860 can be loaded with up to 16 bullets at a time.

It can be said that this method of rapid reloading is not found in other firearms of the same class.

Especially that kind of bells and whistles revolver rifle.

Zhu Fugui did not know why this similar enlarged version of the revolver disappeared quickly after being short-lived in the Civil War.

But as a "prophet", since he knew that it was destined to be eliminated quickly, and it had never become a mainstream weapon, Zhu Fugui would definitely not consider equipping such a thing.

The Trap Springfield rifle has been tried and tested for a long time, and today it is one of the main guns of the Northern Army.

It uses a 32.4-gram projectile.

And the projectile weight of Henry 1860 was only 13 grams.

This has led today's military strategists to question the actual combat power of Henry's 1860.

The current US imperialism is only the fourth economic power in the world, and it has not opened an essential gap with Tsarist Russia, so it is not as rich as that of later generations, and the issue of saving rifle bullets also needs to be considered.

The Springfield rifle is more powerful, can only be loaded with one round at a time, and cannot be fired continuously for long periods of time.

It is equivalent to saying that the Springfield rifle is Jinx's cannon mode, which is slow but powerful, and the Henry 1860 is Jinx's machine gun mode, which is fast but less powerful.

So, in a sense, it seems smarter to choose a Springfield rifle.

Henry 1860 has not been valued by the U.S. Army since its birth, which is why Zhu Fugui can still easily buy it in today's war in full swing.

However, in order to worry about being deceived by the cunning Jews, Zhu Fugui had already done his homework.

When he saw this batch of Henry 1860, Zhu Fugui decided to stud.

For no other reason, this rifle is too bright in the history of warfare.

In 1876, in the "Battle of Little Giant Horn", the last leader of the Soviet Union, Zai Niu, commanded 2,000 men, armed with this fast-fire rifle that the government army disdained, and annihilated a 300-man cavalry regiment of the American army in one fell swoop.

You know, this cavalry regiment is even equipped with a Gatling gun, and the rifle used is Springfield!

Although there are numerical disadvantages, this is the biggest defeat of whites against Indians in history, which illustrates the great power of the dusty rapid-fire rifle of Henry 1860.

Zhu Fugui, who knew this history, would have other ideas, and waved his hand to let Ma Er of the household department account for this transaction.

400 Henry 1860s, $20 each, plus bullets for a total of $10,000.

After thinking about it, Zhu Fugui asked again: "Sangui, I heard that this rifle is very unpopular because the bullet caliber is too small, and the federal government sells it to farmers and Indians. You see, can we get a production line of these small bullets, and then do the business of western immigrants? ”
