Seeing that everyone is puzzled.

Fang Jifan shouted a box-sized fire gun from the wall.

This fire gun is only a little bigger than a palm, very short.

When everyone saw this thing, their hearts suddenly cooled.

It's not majestic at all.

Not only that, but the annotation under this thing is not very accurate, the accuracy is average, and the range is even lower and outrageous, only fifty or sixty steps.

Ordinary firecrackers can already reach a distance of 150 to 200 paces, but such a thing is not even half the size of a bird's gun.

Fang Jifan put on a clam, put the firearm in his hand, and let people take the bullet, the bullet is to tell the truth, this is against Fang Jifan's peace-loving spirit, because the lead bullet is not very conscientious, once it is shot into the body, with the current level of medical treatment, the fatality rate is extremely high.

After loading, Fang Jifan, who was behind the clam, looked extremely cold, raised his hand, and pulled the trigger.

The showroom is a dedicated indoor shooting range.

syllable

Immediately after, the wheel of the short gun rotated, and then, Fang Jifan struck five times in a row, snapping and popping

Six** shots, with almost no time interval in between.

Compared with ordinary firecrackers, there is no moment and a half, and you can't play the process of loading and shooting, but this palm-sized firearm can actually do it.

This is the famous revolver in later generations.

All the students were a little caught off guard, and they didn't expect that the ancestor didn't greet him, and raised his hand to shoot.

Wait for everyone to come back to their senses.

But seeing that Fang Jifan aimed the mouth of the short gun at his jaw, after shooting, the mouth of the gun was a little hot, and there was smoke of gunpowder, Fang Jifan's mouth was stunned, and he blew at the mouth, and now the only thing missing is a big black windbreaker.

"Use this"

Fang Jifan said: "A million people, no need to practice, even if it is a half-old child, it only takes a few days of practice, and it can be used immediately, do you know, why don't you use bows and arrows anymore, but use firearms?" The power of the fire gun is not as good as the bow and arrow, and a trained archer is much more clever than the fire gunner. However, it takes a lot of time to train an archer, but for a farmer, it only takes a short time to get started. ”

"And what I am holding in my hand is called a revolver, this gun can be fired continuously, the Jurchen and Mongolian tribes, will be hundreds of thousands of families migrating westward, although there are many marksmen, these people can be organized, but for the vast majority of old and weak women and children, they need such weapons to protect themselves."

"Such a weapon, as long as it can play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, adopt reasonable tactics, and when it comes to the war banknote, it is an artifact of killing, so now everyone will send one back, and you guys will not do anything in the past few days, just ponder and ponder, if such weapons are equipped on a large scale, what kind of tactics are used, and how to maximize their advantages on the battlefield."

Fang Jifan said, turned around and ordered: "Let the Weapons Research Institute improve this short gun again, the firing range is even higher, don't think about the accuracy, we are a sea of people, what kind of accuracy do you want." ”

Wang Jinyuan was on the side, nodding his head busily: "The villain understands." ”

Fang Jifan took a group of students with his hands behind his back, and then took them to test the power of the riding sword.

Because of the development of steel materials, with good steel, it is enough to make good knives, and it is also large-scale production, how many are needed.

In the future, this large-scale population will go all the way to the west, and they will need to carry a large amount of supplies and weapons, over mountains and mountains, and cross thousands of miles of deserts and plains, which may have been accustomed to the Jurchens and Mongols for a long time, and they have suffered this hardship.

However, because dry food inevitably occupies their main material, heavy weapons, it is difficult to carry.

Therefore, all weapons need to be lightweight.

Fang Jifan likes crowd tactics, and pulls the standards of all those who can go to the battlefield to the lowest, so that even farmers can be directly pulled to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, only in this way can they give full play to their potential.

The power of the revolver is a little worse, and if it is improved, it is not impossible to use.

But the advantage of continuous fire is extremely amazing.

Especially in this era, even the powerful Ottoman Empire may not be able to pull out more than 10,000 elite archers, and their muskets are still in a relatively primitive period, so it is conceivable that when the cavalry all over the mountains rushed in front of them, after firing continuously, they drew out their long knives, what kind of situation would be formed.

The Jurchens and Tatars have always been fearless of death, and it is not difficult to get close to the enemy.

Until there were no Gatling guns in the West, this was all an unsolvable problem.

At noon, Zhu Houzhao ran over angrily: "Old Fang, you actually want to mass-produce that short gun?" ”

"What?"

Fang Jifan raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao said: "This thing is not as good as a bow and arrow in addition to being fired in a row, this palace has a bow and arrow, this is also a short gun, come ten, and this palace will also send them to the sky." ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "However, people like Your Highness who are skilled in bowing and horses are only a few after all. ”

"Short guns are expensive, too."

Zhu Houzhao is a knowledgeable person, and he can find out the shortcomings of a hundred short guns.

When Fang Jifan said this, his eyebrows immediately fluttered: "What you want is expensive, let the vast majority of Tatars and Jurchens get used to using firearms, firearms are not as good as bows and arrows, once large-scale equipment, you must provide a large number of bullets at any time, the Mongols and Jurchens, even if they want to make their own, they can't make them." Of course, this has great pressure on our logistics, but now we have melted 50 million taels of silver, and we can get more in the future, with silver, we can send countless supplies to the front, but in this way, the Mongols and Jurchens of our happiness group can no longer be separated from our logistics, once the supply is stopped, they are nothing, for these people, we have to guard, if we want to control them, we must make them dependent on us, so, Not only do I have to mix the people of these tribes, but I also have to mix the sand in it, and after mixing the sand, I have to make them dependent on firearms, if they want to continue to go west, they can't do without the supply of my Ming, if everything makes them self-sufficient, then what do you want me to do? What if they turn their backs? Only when they can't do without us can we do the long-term way. ”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it for a long time, and was happy: "Then the palace will gather craftsmen and improve this short gun."

Zhu Houzhao's influence among craftsmen is enormous.

After all, he was the leader of the neat research institute, he was not chong Chu, the strength of most skilled craftsmen, the steam engine can go to the sea, as long as you put some heart on this short gun, the power and range of this short gun are not difficult, it is nothing more than throwing money.

The next day, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Fang Jifan into the palace.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi sat behind the case, his face was a little haggard, and what he held in his hand was a report from Wang Shouren.

In the report, Wang Shouren reported on the work of various departments in the desert and the work of organizing the westward migration of the Jurchens after going deep into the desert for more than two months.

Wang Shouren's arrangement was very meticulous, and he even proposed to recruit a group of Han people who dared to go out of the customs to be mixed into the Happiness Group.

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, as long as the teacher can raise enough money in the pass, he will do anything.

Not only that, but he also spied on the movements of the Rus'.

And this is what Emperor Qiao Hongzhi was worried about.

Emperor Hongzhi saw Fang Jifan and raised his head: "Jifan, Wang Shouren's recital, reported the situation of the Rus' people, I didn't know much about the Rus people in the past, and now it seems that the Rus people are not just a group of rabble." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said that, he took out the map of the world, and in this map, the Grand Duchy of Moscow among the Rus' people already occupied a very large territory.

At first, they were only attached to the Golden Horde, and through the Golden Horde, they continued to grow stronger, but after that, they defeated the Mongols, and then, annexed the countries, and through a hundred years of conquest, they reached the peak of their power.

When the Mongol tribes scattered east of the Urals began to switch to the Ming Alliance, it is said that the Rus' had received the news.

They obviously don't know much about the neighbors of the Ming Dynasty, but they have always coveted the land east of the Urals and have huge ambitions for the territory, so they are also very jealous of the actions of the Mongol tribes.

Therefore, taking advantage of the alliance of the Siberian tribes, the Rus' also sent an army of 3,000 men and horses across the Ural Mountains, putting great pressure on the Mongol khanates.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan: "What Wang Qingjia means, organize a group of people, move him, try the depth of these Rus, the Mongolian khanates, have already begun to ask for war, Jifan, what do you think of this?" ”

Fang Jifan thought for a while: "Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that from a tactical level, if you try the depth, it will be useful. But for other aspects, I am afraid that it is quite risky. ”

"What other level?" Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled.

Fang Jifan said: "Stock price." ”

Emperor Hongji: ""

After a moment of silence, Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan: "This is a major matter of the family and country, let's give it a try, I still play it accurately, let Wang Shouren arrange it, don't test the depth of the Rus' people, I am here, it is also difficult to sleep." Only then did I know that this Rus' people are so ambitious, they have been annexed to dozens of countries in just a few decades, and they have been fighting all year round, if they are not contained now, sooner or later, when they expand westward, in the future, it will definitely be a problem for my Ming henchmen. ”

Fang Jifan thought about it, but he didn't object too much: "Your Majesty Shengming, far-sighted, son-in-law sighs to himself." ”
