Although Zhang Zhijie thought very well and said it very well, Yang Yiqing didn't listen well! How good can 2,000 guns be? Guarding the three sides all the year round, and having fought countless battles in Beijing, Yang Yiqing is very familiar with all firearms.

So after listening to Zhang Zhijie's words, Yang Yiqing didn't show any joy, he felt that Zhang Zhijie still didn't want to give him a firecracker, and wanted to send him away with two thousand firecrackers.

Yang Yiqing was a little angry in his heart, because the matter of the border army was not trivial, and now that the weather was cold, the Tatars on the grassland would definitely invade the border again. And the lack of ordnance in the border army means greater casualties, so Yang Yiqing is really a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Zhang Zhijie also felt it, and said with a smile: "Now the Firearms Bureau really only has two thousand firearms!" In this way, the Governor can accompany Lord Yang to see this batch of firecrackers in person, if Lord Yang is not satisfied, then the Governor will give these two thousand firecrackers to the Shenji Battalion, and then transfer 6,000 firecrackers from the Shenji Camp to Lord Yang! How is it? ”

Hearing this, Yang Yiqing also understood that it might really be as Zhang Zhijie said, the Firearms Bureau did indeed only have 2,000 firearms. However, Zhang Zhijie was willing to transfer 6,000 firecrackers from the Shenji Battalion in exchange for these two thousand firearms, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly when he heard it, could it be that these two thousand firecrackers really have any reputation?

Regardless of whether there is a famous hall or not, go and see it! Anyway, Zhang Zhijie's words have come to this point, go and see if you can't lose anything anyway, at least Zhang Zhijie agreed to transfer 6,000 firearms from the Shenji Battalion.

Yang Yiqing arched his hand and smiled: "Since Admiral Zhang said so, then the official will go with Admiral Zhang to have a look, and I hope that Admiral Zhang will be trustworthy!" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "This governor has always been true to his word, as long as Lord Yang opens his mouth and says that he doesn't want these two thousand firearms, this governor will never say anything, and immediately transfer six thousand firecrackers from the Shenji Camp to deliver them to Lord Yang!" ”

Although there were no witnesses, an important court minister like Zhang Zhijie would not break his word and get fat, so Yang Yiqing immediately believed it, and said with a smile: "Admiral Zhang, please!" ”

As soon as Zhang Zhijie and Yang Qing left the palace, they rushed to the Ordnance Bureau, and after arriving at the Ordnance Bureau, Yang Yiqing naturally didn't feel anything, but Zhang Zhijie could clearly feel that the Weapons Bureau was completely different from the feeling he had when he first came.

The ambassador of the Firearms Bureau had already heard the movement outside, and he came running in a puff of smoke, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Humble to meet the Admiral!" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Get up, what about the two thousand arquebuses?" Take Bentu to see how good is the quality of these arquebuses? ”

While leading the way diligently, the Firearms Bureau said with a sneer: "Don't worry, Lord Admiral, the quality is absolutely reliable!" ”

"That's good, Bendu's board is ready!" Zhang Zhijie said with a smile. The ambassador of the Firearms Bureau couldn't help but cover his ass when he heard this, he has worked very hard in the past six months, just to avoid being beaten!

When he came to the armory, two thousand muskets were impressively listed, all of them were arquebuses, and Zhang Zhijie felt a sense of pride after seeing them.

But Yang Yiqing couldn't help frowning when he saw these arquebuses, what kind of stuff are they, they look weird. Can this new type of firearm be used?

Zhang Zhijie instructed the Jinyi guard who followed: "Just draw twenty fire guns!" Immediately, a brocade guard went and began to draw twenty arquebuses at random.

After leaving the warehouse and coming to the school grounds, Zhang Zhijie took an arquebus and handed it to Yang Yiqing, and explained with a smile: "This is an arquebus, it is a thing that the fleet brought back from the Westerners last time it went to sea, not to mention, it is really much more powerful than our Daming firearms!" ”

"So the Governor asked the Firearms Bureau to stop the original firecracker and imitate this arquebus, and it didn't take long for the imitation to succeed, so the Firearms Bureau also produced a lot, and the first batch was given to the fleet to go to sea with the ship! This is the second batch of arquebuses, and there are only two thousand of them at the moment! ”

Yang Yiqing carefully looked at the arquebus in his hand, frowned, and said, "This is a Westerner's thing?" Isn't that barbarian? Will they also make firebolts? Can it be more powerful than our Ming firebolt? ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Whether it's powerful or not, just try it!" The governor still said the same thing, if Lord Yang thinks it is not good, it doesn't matter, this batch of arquebuses will be given to the Shenji Battalion first, and then 6,000 firecrackers will be transferred from the Shenji Battalion to Lord Yang! ”

Although some generals were skeptical, Zhang Zhijie said so confidently, he also had some expectations for this Westerner's arquebus.

Zhang Zhijie smiled and instructed Wei Xiang: "Let people try the gun!" ”

When Wei Xiang heard this, he hurriedly beckoned the craftsmen to come forward to test the gun, they were already very familiar with this arquebus, and it was naturally the most suitable for them to test the gun.

Twenty craftsmen lined up and began to test the gun. Zhang Zhijie has seen it many times, and he doesn't think there is anything, Yang Yiqing stared at it for the first time.

It didn't take long for Yang Yiqing's mouth to open wide in surprise, and as a series of muskets rang out, Yang Yiqing's mouth opened even wider.

They did not stop immediately after the first musket was fired, but continued to reload, and began to shoot again, and only then stopped.

Yang Yiqing is also a veteran of the war, and his eyes are also very vicious, from the moment the gun rang out, he already knew it in his heart. This new type of firebolt is much faster in terms of reloading, and it can aim with a two-handed gun, which is indeed much stronger than the original firecracker!

His heart suddenly swelled up with great surprise, and at the same time, he was a little apprehensive, worried about the power of this new firearm! If this new firearm is very powerful, no, even if it is as powerful as the original firearm, then it is perfect!

So Yang Yiqing immediately ran over to look at the target after hearing the gunshot, and then a look of surprise appeared on Yang Yiqing's dark face. The power of this new firearm is even better!

When Yang Yiqing came back from watching the target, the expression on his face had all changed, looking at this arquebus, he had a feeling of looking at a baby, looked at the arquebus in the hands of the craftsman in surprise, and said with a smile: "What is this firearm called?" That's amazing! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Western things are called arquebuses!" ”

Yang Yiqing exclaimed: "Amazing, this arquebus is amazing, it's really powerful!" Shoot far, powerful, reload fast, and aim with both guns! It's perfect! ”

Perfect? Zhang Zhijie couldn't help laughing, what a primitive firearm the arquebus is, it is 108,000 miles away from perfection!

However, in this era, the arquebus is already an advanced and powerful firearm, otherwise Yang Yiqing would not have seen the arquebus and looked at the arquebus in the hands of the craftsman very hotly.
