Before you know it, it's almost noon.

Qi Jiguang ordered Mingjin, and the soldiers lined up separately and returned to the camp.

The smoke and dust of the martial arts arena gradually returned to calm.

"I wonder what the doctor has to say?" Qi Jiguang was polite.

"Well, it's shocking." Zhao Hao nodded vigorously, and then said with some regret: "I just didn't hear the gunshots, I always feel that something is missing." ”

"Hehe......" Qi Jiguang and Hu Shouren and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the latter quipped: "Zhao Gongzi, we also want to practice with real guns, but you can get us ammunition?" ”

"What, is it expensive?" Zhao Hao was overjoyed in his heart, this son has a place to play.

"It's expensive or not, you can't buy it even if you have money." Hu Shouren smiled and said, "If you can help us get it, let's give you a shot in person." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Qi Jiguang glared at Hu Shouren and explained to Zhao Hao: "What Lao Hu means is that our Shenji Battalion only has guns and cannons in hand, but the ammunition is stored in the military arsenal. ”

"Anyway, Lao Hu has been here for almost a year, and he hasn't caught a shot." Hu Shouren pouted depressedly and said, "The craftsmanship of the housekeeper is almost unfamiliar." ”

"That's ......" Zhao Hao sighed helplessly, this is not a problem that can be solved by the ability of money.

"But don't worry, Doctor, if you come to the Divine Machine Camp, will you not be able to hear the sound?" Qi Jiguang is so thoughtful, how can he make Zhao Hao unhappy?

"After lunch, Ben will take you to the Ordnance Bureau's test field to have a good time."

"That's a good feeling." Zhao Hao glanced at Zhao Shizhen happily, and the eldest nephew, who had been lacking interest all morning, finally smiled.

~~

Lunch was served in Qi Jiguang's Chinese military tent.

Before the meal, Zhao Hao asked Gao Wu and others to present the gifts they brought - twenty monoculars and five binoculars.

This made the generals of the Qi family's army very happy, they had long been coveting Hu Shouren's binoculars.

But this guy is like the root of life, and they are never allowed to touch it, and now everyone should be able to get one, and finally don't have to worry about Lao Hu's root anymore.

"It's a very expensive gift." Qi Jiguang was also very happy, there was nothing more to his liking than this kind of gift.

How could General Qi let his friends suffer? He also returned the gift with twenty brand-new bird guns and five shiny swords.

"I went for two thousand miles, all the way to the mountains and rivers, and a little Qi Mou's private collection was given to the father and son for self-defense. The method of gun manipulation is high, and he can just turn around and let him teach the guards to practice. ”

Zhao Hao picked up a three-foot-long bird gun from the long wooden box and held it in his hand to study it carefully.

The straight black barrel, reddish-brown hardwood butt, with a crosshair, a door, a trigger and a dragon head, looked very similar to the rifles of later generations.

Zhao Shizhen stood behind him, stretching his neck and his eyes were extremely hot.

Hearing the sound of the eldest nephew swallowing saliva, Zhao Hao handed him the bird gun in his hand.

Zhao Shizhen was busy wiping his hands on his body, and took it over and groped it carefully, his obsessive appearance made people's scalps numb.

"Thank you for the generous gift," Zhao Hao thanked sincerely, and then said worriedly: "It's just that the people can't hold firearms, so what's the point?" ”

"Hehe, of course the people can't hold it. But Ling Zun, as the magistrate of the county, took dozens of gunmen to take office, and there was no problem at all. ”

Qi Jiguang said patiently: "There are soldiers in the county's express delivery shop, there are archers in the inspection department, all the guards in the delivery department, and there are men in the post house. In addition, in the past decade or so, because of the rampant plague and frequent bandits, the counties have recruited volunteers, gunmen, militiamen, and the like...... In short, it's just a name, as long as it doesn't cost the court's money, the imperial history won't care. ”

Saying that, General Qi added: "Of course, don't show up in the capital, otherwise the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will soon find you." ”

"That's nature." Since General Qi, who was very cautious, said that there was no problem, Zhao Hao had nothing to worry about.

But think about it. If it weren't for the fact that the Ming Dynasty was very open to weapon management, in another time and space, when the country was in crisis, Zhao Shizhen, Bi Maokang, and other civilian officials who were good at hands-on would not have been able to invent various magic versions of muskets.

Zhao Hao happily put away the knife and gun, and a few cans of gunpowder and projectiles.

Both the guest and the host received the desired gifts, and naturally the guests and the host were happy.

~~

After lunch, after a short rest, Qi Jiguang took Zhao Hao to the Ordnance Bureau's test artillery site in Xishan.

The Ming Dynasty's weapons manufacturing was also very open, from the Ministry of Industry to the Inner Court, from the Political Department to the Command Department, and even the local health centers, all had the power to manufacture weapons and even firearms.

Of course, the level of manufacturing is uneven, and the highest level is none other than the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, where most of the firearms of the Shenji Battalion are supplied.

It is a pity that the place where the Ordnance Bureau produces firearms is located in the area of Wang Gongchang in the southwest corner of the inner city. I can't see the weapons of the Ming Dynasty today, how they were made.

Under the leadership of Qi Jiguang, everyone passed through a sentry post and entered an open mountain valley, and saw that Hu Shouren, who came first, had already prepared all kinds of firearms, just waiting for them to arrive.

"Which one to see first?" Qi Jiguang asked Zhao Hao with a smile.

"Naturally, it will be arranged by the general." After leaving the barracks, Zhao Hao changed his name to call Qi Jiguang a 'general', which naturally did not want to cause trouble for the other party.

After all, today's Qi Jiguang is no longer the anti-Japanese commander in the southeast, but the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion with many mothers-in-law.

"Then let's start with the firearms, which have been used since the beginning of the country." Qi Jiguang is very satisfied with Zhao Hao's caution, he has always believed that only making friends with cautious people is beneficial, and imprudent friends will kill you.

Hu Shouren picked up a burning stick-like thing and began to fill it with gunpowder and projectiles.

Zhao Hao and the others all came over to watch, only to see that the so-called 'one-eyed weapon' was made of wrought iron. It is about three feet long, the forearm is thick, the bottom is drilled with a fire door eye, the rear is installed with a wooden handle crutch, and the front part is erected on an iron ring.

Hu Shouren loaded the ammunition, inserted a fuse in the eye of the fire door, and clamped it under his armpit to the straw man who was used as a target in front of him. With the other hand, he took the velvet from the soldier and lit the fuse.

Zhao Hao hurriedly dodged away and covered his ears. The disciples also hurriedly followed suit, only Zhao Shizhen's eyes widened, and his face was full of excitement as he watched the fuse burn out.

Then he heard an explosion, and the grass clippings splashed, and the straw man twenty paces away fell to the ground.

The gray-white smoke that came out of the burning stick also shrouded Hu Shouren.

"Ahem...... "Lao Hu coughed again and again, and threw the fire gun on the table." You need two pairs of eyes and three hands to play with this thing. ”

"The worst thing is that thirty steps away, I don't know where the projectile flew." Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly: "This kind of old antique has too many shortcomings, the most important thing is that it can't be targeted." And it is too inconvenient to operate alone, so now the Shenji Battalion has been eliminated, and only the three-eyed firearms used by the cavalry are left. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a large burning stick with a thick and bulging top, and explained to Zhao Hao and the others: "The three-eyed fire gun casts the three gun chambers into one, and the inside is connected to each other. ”

Then Qi Jiguang picked up the burning stick, waved it a few times and said: "After the fight, it can also be used as a mace against the enemy, which is very popular with the cavalry, so there is still equipment." ”

After putting down the three-eyed firecracker, Qi Jiguang picked up a bird gun and solemnly introduced it to Zhao Hao: "This is the main musket that the Shenji Battalion is currently equipped with. ”
