Guo Xingge didn't sell Guanzi and wasted time. He quickly opened the first wooden box, took out a bamboo tube, and then took a sharpened wooden stick and stuck it on the ground, and then inserted the bamboo tube into one end of the wooden stick, at forty-five degrees to the ground.

After adjusting his bearing, he lit the fuse.

It turned out that the bamboo tube had been filled with gunpowder and iron sand, with a loud noise, the fire spewed out, and the huge force pushed the iron sand to fly out together, the momentum was very terrifying, within a hundred steps, they were shrouded in gunsmoke, and everyone who was close was smoked and coughed.

At present, the Great Zhou army is widely equipped with bed crossbows, and oil and gunpowder are not new, but bed crossbows are expensive, large and bulky, and the rate of fire is slow, and they are gradually complained by the army.

This firearm in front of you makes the eyes of the big guy light up, using bamboo as a launching tool, the cost will definitely be outrageously low, it is a good baby!

Zhao Kuangyinxing hurriedly ran over and was the first to check the results.

When he picked up the bamboo tube, he shook his head, it turned out that the bamboo tube had been blown out of small cracks, the tail of the bamboo was pitch black, and there were still a lot of gunpowder residues in the bamboo tube.

"I'm afraid this thing can only be used once, and if it is used again, it will explode, and it will not hurt others, but it will hurt yourself first." Zhao Kuangyin commented truthfully, but in order to take care of Guo Xingge's face, he still said two good words, "The cost is low, it doesn't cost much, as long as there is gunpowder, just cut a few pillars and install some sand to hurt the enemy, which is also a good thing...... However, it must be remembered that you must not overcharge, otherwise you will blow up. ”

In the end, he was the one who checked everything, and there were some more things in his stomach, and Zhao Kuangyin explained the advantages and disadvantages of the assault rifle clearly and clearly.

Brother Guo Xing smiled, he just listened, and when Zhao Da finished speaking, he knelt down, opened the second wooden box, and took out a serious arquebus from it!

Brother Guo Xing asked people to put a huge target fifty steps away, there was no way, the arquebus was not accurate, the target was not big enough, and he didn't know where it would fly.

Guo Xingge tore open a packet of gunpowder, poured it into the firecracker, then pushed it with an iron bar, compacted it, stuffed a lead pellet, he put the firearm against the shoulder socket, aimed it ahead, and then touched the fire door with the lit firerope.

With the beating of Mars, boom!

The gunpowder pushed the lead pellet and shot out rapidly, and the target fifty paces away made a muffled sound.

Someone hurriedly came to observe that the lead shot was embedded in the wood, and it was actually more than an inch.

This time, Zhao Da is not calm, grandma's, the power is a bit big!

Projectiles are not the same as bows and arrows.

The front of the bow and arrow is sharp, but the projectile is a ball, and the difference in kinetic energy is very large. If hit, it is easy to shatter bones and injure the internal organs, causing terrible damage.

Thankfully, this thing is not very accurate, obviously, Guo Xingge aimed at the middle, but it turned out to be missed, landing on the lower right, a few feet behind.

If this is on the battlefield, there will be no people at all.

Zhao Kuangyin turned around happily, and was about to say a few words, when he suddenly found Ye Hua standing next to Guo Xingge, and also learned from him, making the action of holding a gun and shooting.

Zhao Kuangyin's mind flashed, and suddenly thought of a possibility!

Not good!

This guy was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back, his face red and his neck thick.

"You are bullying the widow with the crowd, and it is not fair!"

Ye Hua smiled: "Aren't you stupid, what kind of fairness is there on the battlefield." The arquebus is to line up and fight together, in order to defeat the enemy! ”

Zhao Da's eyes rolled, although he was not convinced, but he couldn't help it...... Suddenly, he saw that Guo Xingge was still cleaning the barrel with a strip, and immediately laughed.

"I see, this arquebus also has a weak point, the rate of fire is too slow! As long as you survive the first wave, as long as you rush to the front of you, you won't be afraid of anything! ”

Brother Guo Xing finally cleaned the barrel of the gun, and he said with a smile: "But it's not necessarily, the soldiers can be divided into several rows and shoot alternately, and the speed will come up...... Besides, I still have this! ”

Guo Xingge finally opened the third wooden box and took out a guy who was almost identical to the arquebus.

"What's so strange about that?" Zhao Da was puzzled.

Brother Guo Xing smiled slightly, he still filled the gunpowder and stuffed the projectile like last time. Only this time he did not use the fire rope, but pulled the trigger directly......

With a crisp sound, the projectile flew out, and it seemed that it was even more lethal than the previous one!

After the demonstration of the three firearms, the generals present were all crazy after a short silence, and they were even more lively than the vegetable market.

They surrounded Brother Guo Xing, chirping, asking about this, asking about that, completely curious about the baby.

Ye Hua smiled and stepped aside, and the dumb man stretched out his thumb at him.

"Very good!"

He was praising Brother Guo Xing...... The invention of muskets has long been on the agenda, but with the strength of the Great Zhou army, it is enough to sweep through all countries, and the invention of firearms seems to be a bit redundant, this is what Chai Rong meant, and Ye Hua can't say anything.

But since Lingnan returned, Chai Rong has changed his opinion.

The territory he wants to conquer is still very vast, and the climatic conditions are very different...... The iron cavalry in the north, no matter how strong the veterans of a hundred battles are, when they arrive in Lingnan, they will also suffer serious attrition because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and when they go to Annam, the losses will be even more.

In fact, many people don't understand why the past dynasties have adopted a gentle policy towards the surrounding barbarians, as long as they pay tribute and send some local products, they will give back several times, they think that the ancients are sick in the brain and have the disease of the Virgin! But in fact, it is not the case at all, take Chai Rong's conquest of the Southern Han and Annan as an example, why did he use Zhu Lingyun as the vanguard, and why he drove the troops to open the way, that is, he was afraid that the climate would not adapt and lose the elite in vain.

Compared with tens of thousands of soldiers, countless grains and grasses, it is a very cost-effective business to give back some gold, silver and silk to maintain peace on the border.

All in all, for farming peoples, it is very expensive to expand their territory, especially to occupy those land that is not suitable for cultivation, and it is a loss-making business.

Therefore, if we want to use troops abroad, we must solve many technical problems...... The first is to reduce the cost of war, a mature musketeer, as long as he is healthy and trains for a year, he can basically be pulled into the battlefield, and he doesn't have to be too painful to consume.

And the musket is very lethal, whether it is the Khitan in the north or the natives in the south, all of them are not a problem.

In a word, the musket is a must-have for home travel, murder and arson!

Guo Xingge went to the Champion Fang a few years ago to participate in musket research.

In the first assault rifle, he was only a spectator, and later in the arquebus, he was able to discuss the design with the craftsmen.

When the final flintlock pistol arrived, Guo Xingge personally made the most critical flint excitation device...... And when it was finalized, Guo Xingge slept with a musket every day, and he wanted to design the most practical musket!

Finally, not long ago, he learned the knowledge of calculus from Ye Hua, recalculated, made more elaborate parts, and assembled this flintlock pistol!

The three kinds of firearms represent the painstaking efforts of the craftsmen of the Champion Workshop in recent years, and also mark the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty's army into the era of firearms.

After all the generals read it. They were all overjoyed and scrambling for the first batch of equipment, and they couldn't wait to change to brand new equipment.

There is another very important thing, next year will be Chai Rong's fortieth birthday, His Majesty the Emperor, I want to clear the last obstacle next year.

If you want to destroy the Shu Kingdom, if you take the way, you will also drive the people and horses into Dali, and the entire southwest will be included in the territory of the Great Zhou!

His Majesty the Emperor is eager to try, and the battle of destroying Shu is ready to fly, and these generals are looking forward to taking on the responsibility of leading the troops.

Obviously, the roads in Shu are difficult and not suitable for cavalry combat, and whoever can be equipped with muskets is the vanguard of exterminating Shu.

Great credit, can they not be in a hurry!

In the face of the enthusiastic and crazy generals, what else can Guo Xingge say, he can only say that he will try his best to arrange the manufacturing, and make more muskets before the war, as for how to divide it, you go to Your Majesty!

Finally, coming out of a bunch of reckless people, Guo Xingge was soaked, his face was flushed, and after several years of hard work, he was finally recognized, Guo Xingge was excited and satisfied, he was full of energy, like a shining little sun.

It's just that in the bottom of his heart, there is still a trace of regret, Ye Hua knows it well.

When it was time to go home, Ye Hua specially called Guo Xingge to the study.

"Brother, don't go to class tonight, I want to drink!" Guo Xingge had the courage to make a request.

Ye Hua smiled, and he took out a jar of Zhuangyuan Red from under the table.

"I've been ready for a long time!"

Brother Guo Xingge cheered, immediately picked up the wine glass, couldn't wait to pour a glass, and drank it in one gulp, but was choked and coughed.

Ye Hua didn't care about him, but poured himself a glass and drank it silently.

That's it, two people, you have a cup and I have a cup, and gradually Brother Guo Xing got drunk, he sat on the table with his butt and said very presumptuously: "Happy, really happy!" I made a musket! Although I relied on my brother's guidance, I paid my heart, and the musket made by the Champion Fang in the future will have a circular mark, which is what I requested, a round pot...... Brother, what do you think? ”

"It's not distinctive, you can leave your name, and that's what other craftsmen do."

Brother Guo Xing chuckled and shook his head, "Everyone else can do it, but I can't...... For example, I want to take the weapon I made and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, like a man, and make a contribution! No, it just doesn't work! He kept shaking his head, the pain that had been suppressed rushed out, he was silent for a while, hugged Ye Hua's shoulder very uncompetitively, and tears welled up.

"Brother, I miss you as my own brother, and I am also a member of the Ye family, so that you can do whatever you want!"

Ye Hua's eyes were red, and he hugged Guo Xingge's shoulder, "Silly brother, your brother doesn't just do whatever he wants!" Ye Hua paused and said with a smile: "But if you want to go to the battlefield, brother can help you!" ”

Brother Guo Xing was overjoyed at first, immediately shook his head, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, I won't embarrass you!" ”

Ye Hua feigned anger and said: "You can't even do this little thing, isn't your brother a waster!" ”
