Chapter Ninety-Three: Test the Gun

After Zhang Yun saw Li Chengming, he was in a good mood.

From his observations, this Li Chengming is low-key and knows how to advance and retreat, unlike the Zheng father and son, pure white-eyed wolves.

The next day, Zhang Yun was enjoying this rare leisure time with Xu Xi at home.

Suddenly, I heard someone from my subordinates reporting: "Childe, there is a person who claims to be named He Zheng, who has come to visit you." ”

Zhang Yun had no choice but to restrain his mood and reluctantly went to the living room to meet He Zheng.

"What? Is something wrong? Zhang Yun looked at He Zheng, who was standing, and slowly spoke.

"My lord, we have already made fifty samples of the guns you ordered, please go and check them, if you can, we will mass produce them." He Zheng hurriedly responded respectfully.

When Zhang Yun heard this, he was overjoyed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This is rich, you can do it quickly." ”

Subsequently, Zhang Yun immediately sent someone to call Zhao Hu, took fifty soldiers of the Changning Army, and went to the Ordnance Bureau with him to try these guns.

Bureau of Ordnance.

Zhang Yun stared at the gun placed on the ground, picked it up and weighed it in his hand, and found that it was much lighter than before, and the hardness was also higher than before.

Zhang Yun patted the old man and said with a smile: "If you pass the test later, I will reward you heavily." ”

"By the way, I forgot to ask last time, what's your name?"

The old man hurriedly replied: "Thank you, my lord, the villain's name is Wang Yongcheng." ”

Zhang Yun patted him on the shoulder, and then took Zhao Hu and the others to a shooting range together.

After ignition, the chance of the arquebus being on fire was increased to 70 percent.

You must know that ordinary arquebuses, there is only a fifty percent chance of fire, if the gunpowder is damp, it is easy to not shoot, and there will be a dud.

After Zhao Hu finished fighting, he walked up to Zhang Yun with an excited face and shouted loudly: "My lord, this is a good thing, much better than those things before, whether it is the fire rate or the weight, it is far more tattered than before." ”

Zhang Yun chuckled lightly and said lightly: "What's the matter, I started to dislike the previous equipment?" ”

"This person who has used good things, where can he look in tatters." Zhao Hu touched his head and smiled.

Zhang Yun patted Wang Yongcheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, you did a good job, but it is still inconvenient to light it with an open flame." ”

"Have you ever thought about using a ramming to ignite a fire?"

After Wang Yongcheng heard this, his face was full of shock, yes, if he used the impact, maybe the probability of catching fire could be improved a lot.

The flintlock pistol is the use of impact to ignite the gunpowder, the ignition rate is as high as 85%, far more than the arquebus, just no open flame fire, this is enough to kill the arquebus.

Zhang Yun stared at Wang Yongcheng, who was full of excitement, and said secretly in his heart: "I hope you can find a way to innovate." ”

"My lord, why don't you replace my first squad with this arquebus first?" Zhao Hu asked cautiously on the side.

Zhang Yun directly knocked him on the head and scolded with a smile: "This time, I will only produce a total of five hundred guns, even if I give them all to you, not to mention that there are others." ”

Zhao Hu rubbed his head, still not giving up, and smiled innocently: "My lord, can you give me the first team first?" ”

"Get out." Zhang Yun said lightly.

"I'll build another 100 for you at most, 200 for you and four other squads, and one hundred for each team." Zhang Yun added.

After Zhao Hu heard this, he hurriedly thanked Zhang Yun, and sent Zhang Yun to kneel down and kowtow.

Zhang Yun waved his hand and told him to stop.

Subsequently, follow him to the barracks of the Changning Army.

At this time, the Changning Army had begun to take shape, and the 5,000 people had already arrived, and after Wang Zhong's drills, they were already quite combat-effective.

Except for Zhao Hu's first squad, which has 200 veterans, the other four squads all have 100 veterans who have undergone special training.

This can be regarded as Zhang Yun's special care for Zhao Hu.

Changning Army Battalion.

Zhang Yun sat in the position of the camp leader, and Wang Zhong, Chen Rui and others sat below.

Zhang Yun glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Six hundred new guns have been built, and it is still the old rule, 600 veterans, all of them will be replaced with equipment first." ”

"When they're done, we'll give the recruits a new one."

When Wang Zhong and the others heard this, they all looked at Zhao Hu, and secretly sighed that this kid's life was good, and he made a lot of money every time.

However, Zhang Yun's order, everyone had to obey.

Zhao Hu met everyone's gaze, touched his head, and smirked.

Zhang Yun moved his gaze to Wang Zhong and asked with a smile, "Old Wang, how is the training of the recruits?" ”

"The training of musketeers is a little slow, but the spearmen and shield men are progressing quickly." Wang Zhong replied with a somewhat ugly face.

Zhang Yun nodded and comforted Wang Zhong: "You don't have to worry, that firearm is not a civilian, it can be touched, and it is normal to be slow." ”

Subsequently, Wang Zhong asked, "My lord, is it time to think about the matter of cavalry?" ”

"The people below ask me for horses every day, and I keep asking them to wait, I'm afraid that if it drags on any longer, the soldiers will be emotional."

Zhang Yun nodded, indicating that he would resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Although it has now entered the age of firearms, cavalry is still the king of land warfare, and its powerful mobility is coupled with the chance of dumb fire with firearms.

As long as the cavalry can withstand the first wave of the offensive, all that remains is to chop melons and vegetables.

Zhang Yun thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "Then I'll go to the 3,000 camps and ask for 300 horses, if there are more, I'm afraid I won't be able to raise them." ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, the cost of raising one cavalry in this era is far more than the cost of three infantrymen.

After discussing the specific affairs of the barracks, Zhang Yun waved his hand, and then left the barracks and walked towards his home.

Zhang's Mansion.

Xu Xi kept giving Zhang Yun vegetables at the dinner party, with a smile on his face.

Because, just now Zhang Yun told her that she would go to the 3,000 battalions tomorrow to ask for horses to train cavalry, and the smile on Xu Xi's face never broke after hearing this.

"Xi'er, what's the matter, so happy, say it and let me hear it." Mother Zhang looked at Xu Xi with a smile on her face and said softly.

Xu Xi hurriedly restrained his smile and said casually: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I think of some happy things." ”

After hearing this, Zhang's mother didn't bother anymore.

Then, he looked at Zhang Yun, who was immersed in cooking on the side, patted the table, and scolded: "Why are you patronizing yourself and not serving your sister food." ”

Zhang Yun heard the reprimand, trembled, and hurriedly picked up a piece of meat at random and put it in Xu Xi's bowl.

Zhang's mother ate a little little, and within a few minutes, she left her seat, leaving only Zhang Yun and Xu Xi.

"Giggle...... Xu Xi let out a silver bell-like laugh after seeing Zhang's mother leave.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun immediately hugged her and tickled, until Xu Xi begged for mercy, and did not stop the movements in his hand.

After the two of them were full of wine and food, Xu Xi looked at Zhang Yun solemnly and asked softly, "Are you really relieved, hand over the cavalry to me?" ”

Zhang Yun nodded and responded with a smile: "I don't want you to be anyone's vassal, I just want you to be happy and always be a happy girl." ”

"Puff" Xu Xi laughed softly after hearing this.

Then, playfully, he said, "How do I feel that you are coaxing a little girl, I am an old girl." ”

"Who dares to say that I am an old lady in the future?" Zhang Yun pretended to be angry.

Subsequently, Zhang Yun explained some precautions to Xu Xi, asking Xu Xi to let go and do it boldly, as for his mother's side, it was not something that Zhang Yun could control.
