Chapter 153 New Rifles

All the courtiers were busy, and the pachinko room was deserted.

But for Zhu Youzhen, he is not an idle person. Early in the morning, he joined Qin Liangyu, and a large group of people went out of the city in a mighty way, and once again went straight to the military factory of the Academy of Sciences.

Sun Yuanhua waited at the gate of the factory with a large number of people very early.

Before Zhu Youjian went out, Ning Daqi of the Jinyi Guard was holding his neck, his face was flushed, and he was holding His Majesty's war horse deadly. He didn't speak, but insisted on not letting Zhu Youzhen get on the horse. This is Ning Daqi's new trick, as long as he speaks the first few times, His Majesty the Emperor will always have many reasons to persuade him or order him.

As a result, today's Ning Daqi chose a silent struggle.

In the end, at his insistence, Emperor Zhu Youzhen was deprived of the right to travel on horseback.

"Let me not be able to ride a horse in my own capital division, and I still need to cover up when traveling, which is also the fault of Jinyiwei!" Hearing what Zhu Youzhen, who boarded the carriage, said, Ning Daqi almost didn't get off the horse.

By the time Zhu Youzhen got off the carriage with a bag on his head, the ground at the gate of the military factory was already full of kneeling people.

Habitually waving his hand, Zhu Youzhen said: "I'm bowing, get up." ”

Then he said to Sun Yuanhua:

"I and Old General Qin came over and had a casual look. I've said a few times that I'm going to do what I need to do. Okay, now everywhere as soon as I come, everyone will do these pomp and circumstance. The molten iron inside the furnace doesn't need to be seen? Or is the drill chamber on the bed not to be stared at? Okay, I'll come here once, and you'll stop working for half a day. ”

After speaking, he took Qin Liangyu and walked inside.

The inside of the military factory is very clean and neat, basically in accordance with Zhu Youjian's opinion, combined with the wisdom of the Ming craftsmen, the formation of a preliminary production line and standard parts production.

The division of labor in each area of the military factory is different, and small carts push out the produced parts from the large tiled houses marked with the numbers of A, B, C, D, and gather at the final assembly site.

"This old general may be more familiar than me." Zhu Youzhen pointed to the center of the field where water had just been sprinkled.

"If you know I'm coming, I'll get me!"

There is no way, as long as Zhu Youzhen travels, this matter can not be concealed at all now. There will definitely be Jinyi Wei who will enter the venue in advance, and there will definitely be Wang Chengen's subordinates who will arrange tea and food. Sun Yuanhua, who got the news, dared to slack off, last time His Majesty the Emperor had an accident around the Academy of Sciences, and this time he couldn't help but be careless.

"I'm a loner now. The old general didn't know that my favorite oil tea stall, the brocade guard, had changed people. With that, Zhu Youzhen turned his head to find Ning Daqi again.

"You change people and change experts, and serve me a bowl of oil tea, and half a bowl can leak out outside, is it really that I am blind?"

Since the last accident, Li Ruolian and Ning Daqi have not waited for Zhu Youzhen's travel to make countless requirements and specifications, and Zhu Youzhen is now on fire.

"Your Majesty's safety is the first priority of the imperial court, but the old minister still feels that the protection is not strict enough." Qin Liangyu answered.

"How can I not know what the old general means. But what I'm afraid of is that I just engage in these superficial affairs all day long, and instead miss the key. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Ning Daqi, but also the bluffing Sun Yuanhua hurriedly knelt down.

"Alright, that's what I said, just take it to heart. Sun Qing's house, take me and the old general to see the new firecracker. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sun Yuanhua got up from the ground and reached out to wipe a cold sweat.

A few days ago, four or five new-style firecrackers were blown up in the new outfits of the government schools. Sun Chengzong did not hide it, but reported the actual situation to the emperor as it was, and even presented a firearm that was blown up.

The old man's original intention was to make the emperor, who had been focusing on the fire, relax a little. The existing firecrackers are enough, and Daming has a carpenter emperor, but there can't be another firecracker emperor. But what he didn't know was that Zhu Youzhen simply couldn't stand this kind of thinking. That's why we have today's play.

Zhu Youzhen knows that it is not good for people not to beat, especially once they have gained power and trust. No matter how great his contribution to history may be, when he really has power in his hands, corruption and self-reliance follow.

Moreover, to some extent, this situation is basically impossible to avoid, and it will be more serious for smart people.

It didn't take long for Sun Chengzong to arrive.

Zhu Youzhen and Qin Liangyu had already arrived at the shooting range. Soon, dozens of new models of firearms and ammunition were carried up, and Ning Daqi's people quickly stood one-on-one behind the weapons test personnel.

The firecrackers were placed in wooden crates separated by golden straw. Zhu Youzhen stepped forward, took out one from it, and handed it to Qin Liangyu.

"Remember." Zhu Youzhen said to Wu Zhi beside him.

"The military department has set up a weapons and equipment department, which is headed by Qin Liangyu, minister of the military cabinet. On behalf of the military, General Qin set up a representative office in the Academy of Sciences to be responsible for weapons acceptance affairs. ”

"Obey the order!"

This time, Zhu Youzhen did not discuss with Sun Chengzong and Sun Yuanhua. Through this behavior, he needs to express his dissatisfaction and push for the renewal of the system.

After that, he motioned to Sun Yuanhua to start today's test gun.

Speaking of which, the current so-called breech gun was actually invented by Sun Yuanhua and a group of craftsmen on the basis of Zhu Youzhen's popularization of rifle knowledge in the later period of Sun Yuanhua.

It is actually a modification of the breech gun, and its so-called breech is cut directly out of the original barrel.

The breech bolt of the new firebolt consists of two parts, a lock casing and a lock cylinder, which can be slid and locked in the breech. At the front end of the cylinder there was a concave lock, which was intended to close the chamber. On the cylinder are engraved twelve turns of thread, which are used to secure the bolt. And in order to prevent the bolt from falling during the unlocking process, a large screw is specially designed on the left side of the chamber to facilitate the jamming of the bolt when it is pulled out.

In addition to the bolt, this gun is also the first time to use a paper shell fixed ammunition, and the bullet and the fire cap are still "integrated", and there is a groove at the tail of the paper shell bullet for storing the fire cap.

When Sun Yuanhua arranged the live sheep target, Qin Liangyu walked out.

"Can you let the old minister try it with his own hands?"

Qin Liangyu had never used this strange object, and he didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor valued this weapon so much. After leading the White Pole Army for so many years, in her mind, the soldiers are the first, and the weapons should always be the second.

This strange-looking weapon deserves so much attention from His Majesty and Inspector Sun?

Sun Yuanhua was a little unhappy, he knew that this thing was different from the crossbow arrows that the old generals were used to. But Zhu Youzhen nodded, and now the biggest change is to change the perception of these generals who lead the troops to fight.

So, a craftsman in charge of testing the gun began to teach Qin Liangyu to use this firearm step by step. Although Zhu Youzhen couldn't look at it, just by looking at Sun Yuanhua's excited expression, he knew how big the impact of this weapon was on the natives of the Ming Dynasty.

In comparison, this is much more simplified than an arquebus.

Pulling the bolt apart may require a bit of effort, pressing the tail of the bullet on the cap mount, pressing the cap onto the cap mount, and then stuffing the bullet into the chamber.

"You need to aim at the target." The tester instructed the old general.

"It feels like it's good to take aim and detain the trap here, just like the general you use with a crossbow arrow. Aim with Lookout Mountain. When he said this, he obviously felt that Qin Liangyu had relaxed a lot.

This firearm weighs about eleven catties and is about one meter three in length, to be honest, fortunately it is Qin Liangyu, if Zhu You is checking the light is the end of the gun, it will be difficult, let alone aiming.

About a few minutes passed.

"Phew!"

As Qin Liangyu pulled the trigger, a puff of white smoke rose up, and there was a flash of fire in front of him.

Smelling the smell coming out, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help coughing twice.

There is really no way to do this, the common problem of black powder, something that can't be avoided.

Embarrassed, missed.

Qin Liangyu was used to using crossbow arrows, and directly aimed at the neck of the live sheep in the distance, but the first time this accuracy was a little poor.

Sun Yuanhua looked nervously at His Majesty the Emperor.

My old general Qin, why don't you shoot a live sheep in the belly.

Your Majesty doesn't think that my gun is really bad.
