Chapter Fifty-Four: A Great Gift Flintlock muskets

The corners of Sun Chuanting's mouth twitched constantly, wiping it, this kid is really black enough, even the emperor dares to calculate it......

"Alright, my lord, it's getting cold, let's go back, I still have a gift for you......"

Zhu Jie said with a smile.

Sun Chuanting nodded, and Zhu Jie accompanied Sun Chuanting back to the room.

Sun Chuanting asked, "Boy, you just said that you had a big gift for me?" ”

Zhu Jie didn't speak, took out a drawing from his arms, and gently placed it in front of Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting frowned, picked it up, and asked, "This, what is this?" ”

"Muskets!"

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice, "Master Overseer, this gift is a blueprint for a musket!" I named him the flintlock musket! ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head and replied: "Flashy, Zhu Jie, I know the musket, it turns out that the Ming army bought a batch from the Westerners, but the musket needs to be ignited and fired with a fire rope, and the firing range is limited, and once it catches up with the rainy weather, the fire rope is damp and cannot be ignited, so the musket is no different from a burning stick, and it does not have much help with the combat power of our army......

"Haha......"

Zhu Jie laughed and said, "Master Inspector, what year are you talking about?" It's a flintlock musket, not an arquebus, and the arquebus is really not good, but this flintlock musket is completely different! Look, Master Overseer, ......"

Zhu Jie put the drawings on the table, pointed to them and said, "My lord, the arquebus is fired with an arquebus, and it is useless when it rains and gets wet; However, the flintlock musket is fired with flint, and the flint hits the iron in front of it, which will naturally produce flames, which will trigger gunpowder shooting, regardless of cloudy days and rain, as long as the tongue of fire is hit hard, sparks will naturally appear. ”

Sun Chuanting raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Yes, yes, brother, how did you come up with this method?" With flint! Haha, now you don't have to worry about rainy weather! ”

Zhu Jie continued: "Not only this, but also, the original arquebus, once it can't shoot, it will become waste firewood, it is not as good as the three-eyed god gun, but after all, the three-eyed eye gun is too short, it can only be used for heavy blows, when it is used with a hammer or pestle, the attack power is not strong, but, my lord, do you see this protrusion in front?" There is also a sharp knife here, once on the battlefield, this sharp knife is loaded on the front of the assault, and it is locked by the lock, this is a spear, a thrust, you can knock the enemy to the ground! ”

Sun Chuanting muttered: "Wonderful, wonderful, this, this is really incredible!" A flintlock musket combines the functions of an improved musket with a spear, which can be used to shoot at a distance and be used to deal with the enemy at a close distance, and a flintlock musket in hand, and even bows and spears do not need to be carried......"

Zhu Jie smiled: "How is it?" Master Overseer, this gift is still in your eyes, right? ”

"Get in, get in! Ha ha! ”

Sun Chuanting became excited, if such a weapon of war can't enter his own eyes, then what else can he get into his eyes?

"Master Inspector, you are extraordinary in your literature and martial arts, but you have two shortcomings, but you don't know it, if you can change it, then your status in the future history will be more than one step higher than that of the King of Zhongshan and the King of Kaiping!"

"Oh?"

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, tell me, what are my shortcomings?" ”

Zhu Jie stretched out a finger and said: "First, you are born in Confucianism, you only know the essence of Confucianism, but you don't know the study of things. But what can really make the country prosperous and powerful is not the book of sages, but also the study of things, Mr. Yingxing of the Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, "Tiangong Kaiwu", Xu Gelao's "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", "Geometric Original", "Taixi Water Law", which are all unfathomable. How can adults just focus on the Four Books and the Five Classics? ”

Sun Chuanting's face turned dark, and he said unhappily: "Brother, what you said is light, my life has an end, and knowledge has no end, where do I have so much time to study these things?" Will I still be able to fight? ”

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied, "My lord, it's very simple, without my few artifacts, can the Ming army win so heartily?" Whether it's an assault rifle or a miniature bomb, it's a killing weapon on the battlefield, don't say more, just if we have a thousand of those rifles, I can slaughter all the thieves, it's as easy as a finger, and where do these artifacts come from? In a word, all in this science of things, the so-called science of things, not those strange and ingenious techniques, but astronomy and geography, arithmetic and academic methods, machines, forging, all covered, not only Yan Ruyu in the book, but also splendid rivers and mountains......"

Sun Chuanting's heart was shocked, and he looked at Zhu Jie quietly, he really didn't know how this Zhu Jie would want to say this by himself today!

"Second,"

Zhu Jie continued: "My lord, your second shortcoming is that your mind is not broad, of course, this statement is not accurate enough, as a generation of famous generals, you have 100,000 armor soldiers in your chest, but Xiong has 100,000 armor soldiers, it is far from enough, it is only limited to the Central Plains or Gyeonggi, you should open your mind and open your eyes!" ”

"!"

Sun Chuanting said angrily: "If you let it go again, it will encompass the entire world of Daming!" That's the mind that only an emperor can have, I don't want to die so soon! ”

Zhu Jieden was amused by Sun Chuanting, and said helplessly: "My lord, if you have the world in mind, will you die quickly?" Just a Ming world is not enough, you also need to cross the East, the South, the West, and set your sights on the whole world, you have not seen such flintlock muskets, but I have seen that in the West, there are now many people using these Western muskets, not only Western muskets, but also more powerful Hongyi cannons, that is a real militaristic heavy weapon, people have red hair, why don't we have it? Why don't we produce it ourselves? Even if we can't, can we invite the red fur over? When you put your mind on the whole world, you will be able to use everything that is good for you in this world! ”

Sun Chuanting didn't say a word, stunned in place, yes, the Hongyi cannon is powerful, there are countless Hongyi cannons in Hongmao, and Manchuria is now starting to produce Hongyi cannons, but why can't we do it ourselves? Don't understand? Then invite the red hair to come and teach, Sage Kong is not ashamed to ask!

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"

Zhu Jie shouted.

Sun Chuanting came to his senses and said angrily: "Don't go so far for me first, tell me, how is this flintlock musket made?" With just one drawing, I don't know what year or month it will be able to use! ”

Zhu Jie smiled, took out another piece of straw paper, and replied: "My lord, I have prepared it for you a long time ago, this is a detailed explanation, you see, this is a powder pool, this is a poke used to hold projectiles, this is a bullet, the outside is a bullet, and the inside is gunpowder and projectiles; This is oiled linen, and this is a military thorn, like the one I use; The following text is the method used after the cause......"

Zhu Jie explained one by one, and finally said: "My lord, tomorrow you will give an order to gather craftsmen from Henan and Shaanxi to build it with all our might, once we have three or five thousand flintlock muskets, we can definitely sweep away the thieves!" ”
