Chapter 39: Reward

At this time, it can already be released, the people around are quietly watching, Liang Xing and others are watching the play in general, and they are very devoted, Liang Hong and Lao Cai are talking about the price of this firearm in a low voice, raising so many people just to build this weapon, it costs a lot to think about it, only Wang Changfu is a knowledgeable person, this border army has been mixed everywhere, knowing that this firearm in front of him is much more powerful than ordinary birds, even if Jizhen has not assembled a few doors, the loading action of the young proprietor in front of him is simply very familiar, and it is similar to the firecracker soldiers who have been released many times, he doesn't know, The proprietor in front of him crossed over, and when he was a teenager, he didn't know how many times he had to fire and gun a day, and the earthen gun was almost the same as the arquebus in front of him except for the flint hitting and fire.

After Zhang Han finished loading, he looked at the wooden target on the opposite side and ordered: "Move the wooden target back fifty steps." ”

Wang Debang's face changed, feeling a little flustered, this fire gun has just been shot, everyone has not let go of a few shots, moving back fifty steps is one hundred and fifty steps, this distance is impossible to hit the target of the general bird gun, generally fifty or sixty steps to the target, fifty steps can break the armor, within 100 steps according to the new book of Ji Xiao said that it can be on the humanoid target, but Zhang Han is generally difficult to hit with the bird gun, dozens of shots may be shot, this bird gun is already Seiko manufacturing, at any cost, all of the use is made of high-quality Fujian iron, Zhang Han does not believe that Qi Jiguang's gun can be made better, Hitting the target in 100 steps is almost impossible for birds.

As for this Lu Mi gun, the barrel is longer, the projection is more than that of the bird, the projectile is slightly larger, and there is a crosshair gate, Zhang Han simply did not challenge a hundred steps this time, and directly hit one hundred and fifty steps to see how it was.

"Bang!"

After a loud bang, the wooden target one hundred and fifty paces away did not move at all, and only two or three steps away the projectile hit the ground, splashing a long cloud of smoke and dust.

"Good shot!" Wang Changfu praised loudly.

He looked at the people around him with strange expressions, and Wang Changfu said disdainfully: "I'm not flattering, one hundred and fifty steps are so close to the target, even the old shooter doesn't have this certainty, but this gun is really good, one hundred and fifty steps also hit a large piece of mud, if it is a tartar without armor, it will also be injured, it is really amazing." ”

With him, the old border army explaining, everyone knew that this fire gun was really good, and the young proprietor shot it was not bad, and they all shouted in unison at the moment.

Zhang Han just smiled, still reloading it again as he had just done before.

He secretly calculated by himself, fired once, reloaded again, and the second time he had to clear the chamber with a strip, adding a layer of procedures, with his level, it was about possible to do a shot a minute, or a minute and a half a shot, if the situation was urgent, psychological tension, it might take two or three minutes to release a shot, as for the Ming official army, he has not seen what the bird soldiers are like, but according to Wang Changfu said, the bird guns all over the country have no status in the battalion, not only inferior to the cavalry, but also not as good as the sword players in the battalion, Even the pikemen and other cannon fodder units look down on the gunners, and the generals don't like them, and there is no training in the towns, as long as they can send them, they are considered good soldiers, as for the unqualified loading of the projectile primer, the blockage of the primer port, the poor maintenance of gunpowder, the inconsistency of the loading, the size of the projectile mill, and the inconsistency with the inner diameter, this is a common rule, and the quality of the gunpowder manufacturing is getting worse and worse, which is a common problem. It is estimated that these firecrackers may not be as good as themselves when loaded.

Zhang Han's estimate is not wrong, in fact, the Ming army has no training now, and Zhang Han's level belongs to the highest level in the Ming army.

The second time was quickly reloaded, and this time Zhang Han adjusted his position according to the last time, held his breath, and pulled the trigger.

The dragon head places the burning fire rope in the fire door, and the primer ignites the projectile, and the projectile comes out directly, making a loud noise.

"Bang!"

After the gun rang out again, the wooden target on the opposite side also made a muffled sound, and the target body vibrate, and this time it really hit the target.

A dart master quickly ran to the target and reported: "The projectile enters, the target surface is shattered, Shaodong is good, and this gun is really good." ”

If you want to kill a target, at least put it within 60 steps to fight, so that the range of the Tartar's bow is comparable, and the lethality of the bird is only slightly stronger, if the Mongols use the foot bow, the range of the bow is slightly cheaper, if it is met with this Lumi gun, whether it is riding a lunge bow, all of them are only killed in seconds.

Zhang Han took the firecracker, handed it to Wang Debang, and said with a smile: "You did a good job, the air closure is good, don't use medicine for ejaculation, use granules, how to do it and how to use it, Qi Dashuai's books are all there." ”

Qi Jiguang's book also has the method of manufacturing and using granular gunpowder, but unfortunately few people know, now most of the military towns are not using granules, Zhang Han feels that there is a big problem with the dissemination of information in this era, fortunately in China, there are really a lot of smart people, not only Zhao Shizhen's "Divine Machine" is a divine book, the year of the book is still the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, and now twenty years have passed, the development of firearms is not as good as it was back then, at least in many places in the Ming Dynasty, the manufacture of firearms is not progress but regression.

The country is big and the court is weak, even if there are capable people and geniuses like Qi Jiguang and Zhao Shizhen?

"Three cabinets," Zhang Han turned to Liang Hong and instructed: "Give Wang Huzi and the people of his fire gun group fifty taels of silver, Wang Huzi will take it and distribute it, and Wang Huzi himself will reward twenty taels." ”

Wang Debang himself has done bird guns, and two people have also done bird guns, but this Lu Mi guns are completely different from ordinary bird guns regardless of shape and inside, Zhang Han bought a lot of books, many of them are related to the development of firearms at that time, not only the famous firearms Zhao Shizhen, but also a book "Soldiers" There is a chapter on Western fire attack artifacts, the description of artillery is detailed, including various caliber models, written in the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, the author is a general, Zhang Han was shocked to see it, and this person was unknown in later generations, Zhang Han has not heard of this person at all, the late Ming Dynasty, it is the period of integration and convergence of China and the West, many Europeans came to China, including envoys and missionaries, but also ordinary people, the development of firearms and tactics in Europe was also valued and studied by the Ming Dynasty, although it has fallen slightly behind the Westerners in the Ming Dynasty, but in shipbuilding, firearms, astronomy, including mathematics and geometry and other doctrines, together with the Ministry of Ceremonies Shangshu Xu Guangqi, there are also quite a lot of people in the Ming to learn the benefits of the West, the Chinese are not arrogant, resting on their laurels.

After seeing Lu Mi Gong in the book, Zhang Han was not satisfied with using the bird gun, and asked Wang Debang to set up a firearms group, a few people who had made bird guns as the core, and a few clever and skillful hands as apprentices, nearly ten people tinkered for a month, and finally made this firearm successfully, not only the workmanship is very good, the actual combat effect is also first-class, with such a gun in hand, Zhang Han feels that the sense of security has risen a lot.

"Continue to make some more guns, how many can you make in a month?"

"Back to the proprietor," Wang Debang was rewarded with twenty taels, which would feel full of inexhaustible energy, and replied energetically: "We now have five drill bits, and only five people can drill at most, drill an inch a day, and drill a barrel in a month. In addition, I am also worried that the drill will be wasted, so I have to drill several more pipes at the same time, so that it is safer. It's just that in this way, the picking fee is high, and the bird gun is less than three taels, and this Lumi gun is probably six or seven taels. ”

"Slowing down." Zhang Han said: "But I don't dare to make more of this thing, so that people will be in their eyes and hearts, and suing me will be a trouble." Five branches are five branches, and if I don't stop, you will keep making the king's beard. You don't have to worry about the price, I can pay this bit of silver. ”

Wang Huzi smiled, bowed deeply, and replied, "Yes, proprietor." ”

The skills of Lu Mi Gong came from Turkey, Zhao Shizhen, a master craftsman against the sky, was successfully developed in the capital, and the Ming army had assembled a small amount earlier, and then no one used it at all, the main reason was that it was too expensive, and it was time-consuming to manufacture.

There are more than a dozen unrelated craftsmen on the side, each of whom is full of envy and jealousy, this gun making is a craft, Wang Debang has done this thing before, and others can't get a chance to earn this silver.

As for asking Wang Debang to teach this, don't even think about it, the craftsmanship of these years is a secret that is not passed on, Wang Debang drummed up this Lu Mi Gong, it must be passed on to the son and not the daughter, and he will never teach it to outsiders.

Zhang Han put down the firecracker, thought about it, beckoned Liang Xing over, and said with a smile: "Liang Xing, my original bird gun, you take it to practice, and you can practice the speed and accuracy of loading like mine, and you will come out to do things for me again." ”

"Huh?"

Liang Xing's mouth is the size of a duck egg, he has been practicing very diligently for a while, and he has followed Wang Changfu to practice knife cards every day, Liang Xing is the most effective one in the Lama Tiger, and now he suddenly asked him to practice fire again, Liang Xing was a little surprised.

Zhang Han smiled and didn't care about him, and walked forward by himself, Liang Hong grabbed his nephew and whispered: "You kid is so stupid, tell you to practice, I haven't seen so many dart masters, and the proprietor only picked you one?" ”

"But this thing ......"

Liang Xing wanted to say that this thing was useless, but when he thought about Zhang Han's first shot, and then thought about the power shown by Lu Mi Shicai, he couldn't say it.

"What the young proprietor asks you to do, you only do it with your heart, and you can't suffer a loss."

Liang Hong usually doesn't mention this distant nephew, Liang Xing was not angry before, he couldn't do it, he just wanted to give Liang Xing more opportunities to make money, then this is the reason why Liang Xing blocked the young proprietor, now since this is the situation, it would be too stupid if the nephew didn't open up.

Fortunately, Liang Xing's vices are becoming less and less, people are much calmer when they look at him, and the young proprietor is becoming more and more trusting and dependent, and Liang Hong is also happy in his heart.
