"There is a light door behind this gun, a light star in front of it, and the machine is ejected, and both hands do not move. Aiming at the millimeter, the square inch of the life, and the long gas of the cylinder gathers, the range is longer, and the power is greater! ”

Qi Jiguang introduced the bird gun in a deep voice, and then demonstrated it to everyone in person.

He first pointed the muzzle of the gun at himself, and with a small pre-loaded bamboo tube, he poured a certain amount of gunpowder into the mouth of the gun. Then use the through bar to compact, put in a piece of lead, and use the through bar again to compact.

Then he turned the gun around, poured the fine gunpowder into the bird's gun, shook it carefully, and closed the fire door temporarily when the gunpowder passed through the wire door and entered the gun.

Then he inserted the lighted fire rope into the dragon's head. Only then did he reopen the fire door, hold the gun with both hands, put the butt on his face, and aim at the straw man a hundred steps away.

Finally, the trigger was pulled, and the dragon head slammed the fire rope into the fire door, and the fire burned, and the straw man a hundred steps away fell to the ground!

Although the rate of fire has not improved compared to the musket, it can be operated by a single person, and it can be aimed at three points and one line like the musket of later generations, and the shooting accuracy is naturally greatly improved.

In addition, the barrel is slender, which is easier to gather, and the firing range is naturally twice that of a firearm.

The so-called bird gun is named after the fact that the gun can shoot down birds.

This is already the best firearm of the Ming Dynasty.

~~

When the smoke cleared, General Qi showed his face, caressed the bird gun in his hand lovingly, and said to Zhao Hao:

"This gun was created by the Taixiyi people, and it was used by the Japanese people at first, and the officials and soldiers could not compete with it. It was not until the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing that Zhu Zhongcheng recovered Shuangyu and seized this kind of bird gun and those who were good at making bird guns. After the trial at the imperial court, it was found that all the firearms had been eclipsed. The Ministry of Industry copied 10,000 at a time, and after it was put into the southeast, the situation of resisting Japanese aggression gradually improved. ”

"Bird, so strong!" Zhao Shizhen was already intoxicated by the beauty of that shot.

Zhao Hao was a little indifferent, after all, four hundred years later, this thing has been renamed the earth spear, and it can really only be used to fight birds.

Well, not compared to 400 years later, even today's Europe has developed a full-fledged flintlock pistol. It's just that some human factors didn't spread right away.

What can make Zhao Hao's eyes light up is the gunpowder used by Qi Jiguang.

He poured the gunpowder from the small bamboo tube into the palm of his hand, and when he took it to his eyes, he saw that the gunpowder was in the form of granules, the size of a sesame seed.

"Gunpowder granulation......" Zhao Hao sighed lightly, he meowed, and Ben Gongzi lost another patent.

"At the beginning, it was only in order to solve the problem that gunpowder was loose and damp, and it was difficult to transport and store, so he had a whim to make gunpowder into a whole piece. As a result, when you use it in pieces, it becomes like this. I thought that this batch of gunpowder was going to be wasted, but I unexpectedly found that the power was much greater, and the chamber of the gun was easy to clean...... The only problem is that it is not easy to ignite, so the fire door is still filled with gunpowder powder. ”

Qi Jiguang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh after speaking, this is his unique secret recipe. "I didn't expect that the doctor even knew this? No wonder Zhang Xianggong wants you to guide him. ”

"Hehe, I understand a little." Zhao Hao smiled modestly: "This is similar to the principle of coal lotus." ”

"I want to hear about it." Qi Jiguang immediately humbly asked for advice.

"Because the gaps between the gunpowder particles are larger, the combustion will be more sufficient, the power will naturally increase, and the residue after combustion will naturally be less." Zhao Hao explained.

"Sure enough, it's the same as coal lotus." The disciples hurriedly took out their small notebooks and wrote down this item.

Then, at the request of Zhao Hao, Qi Jiguang explained how to make granular gunpowder.

"The gunpowder that is mixed according to the ratio of one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, add water and half dry it with a wooden mortar, and then dry it into a medicine cake, and when you use it, you can pound it into the size of a grain of rice."

Then, I heard Zhao Hao whisper in his ear: "Seriously, don't use water next time." ”

"What's that for?" Qi Jiguang's face was full of anticipation.

'Urine. Zhao Hao really wanted to tell him the best answer, but he was afraid that General Qi would think that he was teasing him, so he had to give a suboptimal explanation:

"Shochu."

"Okay, I'll try it when I get back." Qi Jiguang nodded heavily, and asked humbly: "I don't know if there is anything else that can be improved?" ”

"At present, the range, power and accuracy of the bird gun are good, but the biggest problem is that the rate of fire is too slow." Zhao Hao said with a straight face: "Of course, the seven-step shooting method that the general asked his subordinates to adopt is indeed a solution. But first, it is too much training, and secondly, it takes up too many troops. ”

"Not bad." Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly and said, "The general has no confidence that he can spread it." ”

~~

Next, Qi Jiguang demonstrated to Zhao Hao the three main artillery pieces of the Ming army: the Franc machine, the tiger squat cannon and the general cannon.

The Franc cannon is also called the sub-mother gun. It is an iron breech-loading smoothbore cannon. The biggest feature is that the belly of the cannon is thick and open, and the pre-installed sub-cannon is filled into the belly of the gun, and the cannon can be fired by ignition.

After the first shot, take it out and replace it with another sub-cannon to get a second shot. Therefore, as long as the sub-cannon is sufficient, the rate of fire is faster than that of the bird's gun.

The biggest disadvantage is that the gap between the sub-cannon and the belly of the cannon is large, which causes the leakage of gunpowder gas, so the range and power are insufficient.

However, the large Franc machine weighing seven or eight hundred pounds can smash a Trojan horse a mile away under Hu Shouren's control, and its combat effectiveness is already very considerable.

The small Franc machine, on the other hand, weighs less than 10 pounds and is equipped with five to nine shotgun cannons, which is very suitable for mobile combat firepower.

However, for Qi Jiajun, the Tiger Squat Cannon, which is also lightweight, has a longer range and is more powerful, is a more ideal partner in sports warfare.

When everyone saw the two-foot cannon fixed to the ground with a big iron nail, and the scattered bullets that were fired, instantly knocking down more than a dozen straw men from a distance of a mile, they were all shocked.

Wang Wuyang and the others were terrified, they didn't expect that there were such vicious weapons in the world......

Only Zhao Shizhen was excited and jumped and jumped, eager to pounce on the tiger and kiss the tiger squatting cannon.

As for the power of the general's cannon, it was even more terrifying, and as soon as the cannon went down, it directly blasted the opposite mountain wall into debris.

However, the cannon of nearly four feet, weighing more than two thousand catties, seems to be only able to defend the city.

If it were used in the field, it would be enough to become a nightmare that dragged down logistics......

~~

After the demonstration of all the weapons prepared, Qi Jiguang looked at Zhao Hao expectantly, waiting for him to have a good suggestion.

"I have a few ideas...... Zhao Hao's ears were buzzing with shock, and he still pretended to mutter: "But you have to try to know, otherwise you can't say it well." ”

"Of course." Qi Jiguang thought deeply and said: "The last general has also tinkered with some things, all of which have been explored little by little, and when he is really successful, he really doesn't know which idea is right." ”

Zhao Haoxin said that it was because General Qi, you were too cautious, and it happened to be reversed here in this son.

I know which idea is right, but I can't necessarily figure it out......
