Zhu Xiongying brought the flintlock pistols back to the palace, and Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were very excited after seeing them.

Lao Zhu hurriedly picked up a flintlock pistol, studied it carefully, and couldn't put it down.

"Grandpa, don't look at it, try it!"

"Good! Good! Good! I'll give it a try. ”

Lao Zhu found a reference object as a shooting target.

"Bang!"

Lao Zhu's marksmanship is very good, and he hits the target with one shot.

He gently touched the strange-shaped firearm, and the shock on his face did not decrease.

This gun does not need to be ignited, but by pulling the trigger to trigger the device to fire, which is simply a genius design.

After careful study, Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying with extremely bright eyes and asked:

"Good grandson, what's the name of this thing?"

Zhu Biao's eyes on the side were burning, he was very excited, and he couldn't help it.

Without waiting for Zhu Xiongying to reply, he preemptively said:

"Father, let your sons try its power too!"

Lao Zhu was very happy and handed the long-pole flintlock pistol to Zhu Biao.

"You try this first, I'll try the short game!"

Immediately afterwards, Lao Zhu's father and son tried several flintlock pistols that Zhu Xiongying brought back from the arsenal.

Both long-rod and short-rod flintlock pistols have the same function and method of use.

Long rods have a longer range and are more powerful.

The short stick is easy to carry and is more suitable for shooting at close range.

After trying the gun, Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu were excited.

Zhu Biao asked:

"Ying'er, what's this called?"

Zhu Xiongying scratched his head.

"Daddy, this is called a flintlock pistol, as the name suggests, it can be ignited without an arquebus, and the trigger can be pulled to trigger the ignition of the impact device, so as to shoot the projectile out."

Old Zhu laughed.

"What an artifact! Without arquebus ignition, the shot can be much faster, and you can fire when you want without waiting time. The most important thing is that it can be used even when it is windy or rainy. ”

Zhu Biao also hurriedly responded:

"Yes, it perfectly solves the problem that the firearm can't be used in wind and rain weather, it's really wonderful!"

The flintlock pistol that broke through the weather restrictions could greatly strengthen the strength of the Ming army, which made Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao have to sigh that this flintlock pistol is too good.

Lao Zhu's eyes rolled, and he asked excitedly:

"Good grandson, can this flintlock pistol be made in large quantities? If it is manufactured in large quantities, is the cost high? Is it possible to popularize the whole army? ”

Zhu Xiongying smiled.

"Prototypes of these flintlock pistols have already been created and can be mass-produced as long as enough materials are provided. And it is only modified on the basis of the firecracker, and the cost is not very high. With these flintlock guns, you can reduce the amount of cold weapons you need to build later. ”

Lao Zhu became even more excited after hearing this.

"Great! Good grandson, you have made another great achievement! Ha ha! ”

Zhu Xiongying touched his head.

"Grandpa, in fact, there is a more perfect gun than this, but now the conditions are limited, and it can't be made for the time being. However, it may be possible in the future. ”

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao's eyes widened.

"Good grandson, what kind of gun is that?"

Zhu Xiongying picked up a flintlock pistol and said while gesturing:

"This flintlock pistol, although much simpler and quicker to use than a firebolt, is still relatively cumbersome. The projectile needs to be filled into the barrel of the gun first, and a little gunpowder is poured into the tank when used before it can be fired.

If the soldier is skillful, he can shoot two or three bullets in one minute, which is still a bit of a delay. And it has a limited range, and the effective damage is within 100 meters.

If an automatic rifle can be developed in this era, it will really be invincible! ”

Hearing this, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were even more shocked.

"Good grandson, what does that automatic rifle look like?"

Zhu Xiongying went on to explain:

"It doesn't need to be reloaded one by one, as it is now, and it doesn't need to pour gunpowder. Just load, pull the trigger and fire, and it can be fired continuously. Long range, high damage, and accuracy! ”

Hearing this, Lao Zhu was excited.

"Good grandson, does that kind of gun really exist? It's amazing, too! ”

"Grandpa, there are so many magical things in my dreams! I'll study that thing later. We will mass-produce flintlock pistols first and form the Shenji Battalion. ”

"Divine Machine Battalion?"

Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, very puzzled.

"Grandpa, that's the elite troops of our Ming Dynasty who specialize in using firearms!"

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao listened to Zhu Xiongying's explanation, and there was another burst of ecstasy.

"Good grandson! That's exactly what Grandpa had in mind! Such a firearms team will definitely be invincible on the battlefield! ”

"Yes! Father, such an elite team will definitely be able to make a great contribution to our victory, and the elimination of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is just around the corner! ”

"Well said! Hahahaha......"

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying expectantly.

"Good grandson, then what are we waiting for? Let them build it! And the Divine Machine Battalion you just mentioned, how to form it, we will also study and study it together! ”

"Grandpa, the flintlock pistol can be immediately arranged for the arsenal to be mass-produced. However, I had never been to the battlefield and did not know much about the situation in the north. The formation of the Shenji Battalion, I am afraid that my personal opinion is more suitable than mine! ”

Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt puzzled.

"Good grandson, who are you talking about? Could it be your uncle and grandfather Lan Yu? ”

Zhu Xiongying shook his head.

"It's not him! I'm talking about my fourth uncle! ”

Hearing this, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were shocked again.

"Good grandson, are you talking about the fourth Zhu Di?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded firmly.

"Yes! Grandpa, Dad, to tell you the truth, the world's first regular firearms unit, the Shenji Battalion, was formed by my fourth uncle. That Shenji battalion was extremely brave and defeated the Huns in the north! ”

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is currently in Beiping.

Because Beiping was responsible for defending against the invasion of the Mongol aristocracy, Lao Zhu gave Zhu Di more troops than other princes, with 300,000 people.

And he was allowed to make his own decisions on small matters in the army, except for major matters.

Zhu Biao said excitedly:

"Father, then you can let the fourth brother come back! I haven't seen him for two years, and Erchen misses him a lot! ”

Lao Zhu nodded happily.

In Lao Zhu's heart, the two most beloved sons are Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, so he will leave the important geographical location of Beiping to Zhu Di to guard.

"Good! The fourth child went to Beiping to become a vassal, and two years passed in a flash, and I missed him a little. ”

Zhu Xiongying also smiled:

"Grandpa, Daddy! Actually, I miss Uncle Fourth too! ”

"It seems that your fourth uncle didn't hurt you in vain! That's fine! Let's send a report today and let him rush back as soon as possible! ”

Yingtianfu (Nanjing) is two thousand miles away from Beiping, the ancient traffic is inconvenient, this back and forth, riding a horse also takes several days.

However, before the first day of the fifth month, Zhu Di should be able to rush back.

Zhu Xiongying had a lot of things to say to that fourth uncle.

If he can successfully survive the death catastrophe in his life, then in the future, he will work with the brave and warlike fourth uncle to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty in this world and eliminate the ancestors of those enemies in later generations.
