Chapter 86 New Fire Cannon
Chapter 86 New Fire Gun
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhou Bing just kowtowed desperately and said mercy. Li Meng walked up to him and said coldly again:
"I still keep those torture instruments, you can say whatever you have, otherwise I will use them one by one on you."
Zhou Bing has seen the pros and cons of bone squeezing, nose hooks, finger nails, etc. in the past. When Li Meng said this, his whole body suddenly trembled like a sieve. These Jinyiwei men are okay to bully Liang. If they really encounter this kind of life and death situation, they will be soft-boys and said with a tremolo:
"Lin Qianhu collected the money from the Huaiyan merchant and sent people to destroy the old man's family business."
"How do you know so many things?"
"The young one is the personal soldiers who are following Lord Lin. The last time I came, my master sent me to make a fortune..."
Hearing this, Li Meng didn't want to continue asking, so he ordered his men to lock up these guys first, then turn around and leave. He couldn't stand the cold weather anymore. He took two steps and was about to say a few words to Guo Dong, but he saw that the salted gurus who went there were already rushing back, and everyone looked sad and angry on their faces.
These salt dicks first handed the clothes to Li Meng and helped him put them on. One salt dick said in a crying voice:
"Mr. Li, both brothers have been killed. It was these dogs who took action!"
Li Meng's face suddenly became cold and he scolded in a cold voice:
"Above the battle formation, life and death are common, so why do you have to be like a woman? It's not like a woman."
Several salt dicks dared not say much, and they all put away their expressions. After Li Meng scolded him, he turned to shout at the salt dick who was binding the man over there and shouted:
"Don't bind one, don't keep one, kill it all!!"
This is the first time that the Salt Ding team has lost its manpower. On his own territory, Li Meng was furious. When these Salt Dings heard Li Meng's orders, they did not hesitate this time. They pulled out their waist knife and slashed it with their own sword.
When the Jinyiwei men started to say that they were locked up, they thought they would have a glimmer of life. Although they knew that Li Meng's idea changed as soon as he said that he would change, they directly ordered to kill people. The group of people was about to die, so they naturally ignored everything and cursed and shouted loudly there:
"You, a salt vendor who kills thousands of swords, kills the imperial officials. You are a serious crime of treason."
"You are going to the execution ground to cut into pieces and destroy your nine clans!!"
"I will not let you go even if I am a ghost..."
Although they were yelling there, the salt diced with the knife and axe had no hesitation or mercy at all. The order Li Meng said must be implemented. This is already the consensus and iron rule of the salt diced people. After killing melons and vegetables, Li Meng tied his belt, sighed, and said to the salt diced beside him:
"Go to the accounting office to get five hundred taels of silver, send it to the two dead brothers' homes, tell their relatives and parents that we will provide them with retirement in the future."
Yan Ding, who received the order and heard this order, showed a look of gratitude and respect on his face. Li Meng waved his hand and inexplicably damaged his two brothers, and was also missed by Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, which really made people not happy.
During the slaughter just now, everyone was almost bleeding from the salt culprits, but everyone was like the ones who were fine. Guo Dong and two Liao craftsmen were still standing by. Although the fight had also been seen by the displaced Liao craftsmen, the massacre just now still shocked them.
Several blacksmiths were all pale and their bodies were trembling slightly. Li Meng walked up to him, looked at the somewhat embarrassed blacksmiths and smiled:
"I'll give Master Guo a note later and go to the account room to get 500 taels. I've just rushed to you. Thanks to you guys. From today on, your moon silver will double! "
Five hundred taels and doubled Yueyin are quite generous rewards, but compared to the other party's life-saving grace, these silver is nothing, but Li Meng also has the kindness of saving them and sheltering them. Now it's the main family, and both sides are not good enough to be too clear, so I will click.
Guo Dong and the blacksmiths have recovered their spirits. After thanking Li Meng for his reward, they were about to say goodbye, but Li Meng smiled and called out, pointing at the two muskets in their hands and said:
"Aren't you here to let me see this musket? Why are you going back now?"
The blacksmiths were stunned. After reacting, they laughed haha. It was so thrilling just now that the blacksmiths were a little panicked. After hearing Li Meng's inquiry, they quickly handed the muskets in their hands to Li Meng, and turned around and followed the salt diners to instruct, "Pile these scribbles in the drying yard and clean up this side." They took these entourages and the blacksmiths to the house on the other side.
There are many open spaces like a drying yard in the manor. The salt Ding and the blacksmiths following behind were all amazed. Needless to say, although the salt Ding was calmly chopping and killing just now, for most people, this was just the first killing, and the shock in their hearts had not yet dissipated. But looking at Li Meng's calm conversation and laughter, it seemed that there was no fighting and killing just now, but it seemed like he had just woken up. This calmness is really admirable.
As he walked halfway, Li Meng found out that when he heard the shouts of killing, the blacksmiths who returned to the manor to prepare Li Meng to deliver the muskets came out. They didn't have any weapons in their hands, so they simply followed them with muskets. They had all the ammunition, but seeing that there were so many people on the other side, the two muskets were of no use, so they just followed them all the time.
Until Li Meng led the man out and Wang Baihu raised the musket. The blacksmiths fired the musket every day and tested the data. They naturally knew the benefits of the musket. They also knew that if Li Meng was killed by the musket, he might soon disappear.
Guo Dong didn't care whether he would be implicated or not. He put together a fire and shot it out, but it hit the target. Everyone chatted about the thrilling moment, but Li Meng stopped and asked:
"At that time, how many steps were you from that sect?"
Guo Dong thought for a while, dared not say anything, trotted back to his position just now, walked carefully, and ran back hurriedly, saying:
"Master, it's about fifty steps!"
The fifty-step range is not surprising. The initial bird gun was far beyond this number. Looking at the musket in Guo Dong's hand, the barrel was more than three feet long, and the barrel was two fingers thick, looking at the rather thick benzene. The salt dick on the side also noticed Li Meng's gaze. He looked over, but he couldn't help laughing and said jokingly:
"Even if this musket does not fire ammunition and is picked up and smashed by people, its power is quite great."
This joke made everyone laugh, but Guo Dong's face was a little embarrassed, but this musket was a rough benzene, which is also an indisputable fact. It is worth laughing and laughing and laughing and saying:
"It's really not very flexible. If you want to flatten it, you have to stand on the ground with a fork, otherwise your arms won't be held."
While talking, another blacksmith took out a fork stand, which was a wooden fork wrapped in iron. He was just putting the musket in the fork stand. Li Meng had never seen this type of musket. After the salt stewards were killed, they were a little excited. The musket looked not good-looking. He was about to continue joking with a thick iron rod, but he heard Li Meng say:
"You go and carry the body of Wang Baihu over."
Only then did everyone realize that Li Meng's expression was quite serious, and no one dared to continue to tease. The blacksmiths were even more anxious, thinking that Li Meng was not satisfied with the musket.
Soon, Wang Baihu's body was carried over. The mandarin duck war jacket on his body had turned purple and black. The mandarin duck war jacket was a cotton jacket with no protective power. After removing the blood, he found that the wound in front was not too big. Could it be that the musket was not powerful enough, but it turned the person over.
There was a shocking blood hole on the back of the corpse. A salt dick held a knife to separate Wang Baihu's clothes. Li Meng could see that the shot almost made the person's back and internal organs into a ball, and the spine and other bones were also shattered.
The salt dig a few times and took out the lead. The lead was as big as the belly of the thumb, and could be called a lead block. The amount of medicine in such a thick gun chamber must be quite large. Use this force to hit such a heavy lead block and hit the human body, it was like a heavy hammer hitting it.
This power should meet his requirements. Li Meng's next step is to see his range. If he only has fifty steps, this troublesome loading method may not have any advantages in facing bows and arrows.
It was rare that Li Meng did not immediately reject the trial-made musket. Guo Dong and several companions were very excited. They came to the open space, set up the target, and began to load ammunition and test-fire.
Even with the arm strength Li Meng exercised every day, the flat fire gun was a little unstable. He had to use the fork rack. The ammunition was already installed, and the ignition drug was ignited with the fire medium and shot it out with one shot.
You can still control the correct head at about sixty steps, and you can hit the target at about ninety steps. But don’t mention the correct head. The target is the thick wooden door panel of the door, which is as big as a cow. However, every shot is shot, the thick wooden door panel will inevitably be penetrated.
"The musket should be lighter, and there should be room for improvement in power and range."
