The brief episode caused everyone to ponder.

On the one hand, he felt that he should indeed put pressure on the motivated King Shunyi, but he was afraid that he would make the Tartars angry and angry, causing trouble.

Unfortunately, the emperor directly asked the Secretariat to return to the palace to draft an edict, and did not give everyone room to discuss.

After lunch, they were either worried or whispering, and they were all discussing whether Altan Khan would enter the capital by the order, and if they were worshipped, how should they treat it, and if they were not worshipped, how should they be treated.

It was not until the afternoon when the emperor led everyone to the campus to test the new firearm that everyone focused their attention.

...

"Your Majesty, these firearms are not live ammunition, so you can feel free to play with them."

In the campus, there were wooden signs and scarecrows made targets fifty steps away.

The emperor and a group of civil and military officials gathered around a group of firearms and pointed at them.

The eunuchs in the military battle, and the craftsmen were carefully accompanied by their side, occasionally explaining to the emperor and the court officials.

Zhu Yijun picked up a musket and turned around happily: "Master Qian, let me talk to you one by one for me."

It’s not Xiao Zhu Zangzhuo, but about the technical issues of firearms. Apart from the most basic common sense, he really doesn’t understand the rest.

Politics and philosophy are the counterparts of previous careers. Those who work in this industry know a little bit. As for firearms, I'm afraid that only the resume of Shengtian Banzi will be interested in it.

When the eunuch of the Military War Bureau heard this, he quickly gave up his post and showed Qian Dajiang out.

The latter was obviously not used to this kind of occasion and hesitated for a long time: "What Your Majesty holds is a musket..."

Zhu Yijun had no choice but to interrupt: "I know it's a musket, so I just told you where it's new."

He still has common sense. There are two types of pistols according to the ignition method.

One is the musket, which has only a bare gun barrel. One person aims at the gun and the other person adds ammunition. Because of the way to draw fire, it is necessary to throw red wire and charcoal into the fire door, also known as fire door guns. It is neither convenient nor accurate. In handheld firearms, it is already a backward variety.

Another type is the bird gun. It was introduced in Japan during the Jiajing period. On the basis of the fire door gun, the gate, the gauges, the gun holder, and the gun machine were added. It can be held by a single person and the sight can be aimed at. Whether it is practical or accurate, it has greatly improved the way of ignition. The original method of opening the fire door and throwing charcoal was changed to ignition leads.

Of course, due to the cost, border troops still use muskets more now. Only the imperial guards and the imperial guards who were used in the imperial camp can equip cutting-edge firearms such as bird guns on a large scale.

Seeing that Qian Dajiang was interrupted by the emperor, Wei Zhongde, the eunuch in charge of the military war, hurried forward to rescue the scene.

The latter took over the conversation: "Your Majesty! The military battle situation has been improved in the past few years, and the bullet arrows are matched with it, so that the bullet arrows can be spiraled out of the cavity."

"Either the range or accuracy is far beyond the past, even bird guns are not as good as that!"

He doesn't understand technology, but he did his homework before coming, so it's no problem to report a little.

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised on his face, and his voice subconsciously increased a little: "It's done!?"

He naturally mentioned the statement of spiral rifling, and of course, it was limited to the ambiguous general direction. The craftsmen tried their best to achieve the effect they said.

However, I didn’t expect that in just over five years, there were real results.

When everyone saw the emperor happy, they all turned their eyes to the barrel and looked at it curiously. Sure enough, they saw spiral groove marks in the barrel of the gun.

"Let me show you to Your Majesty."

After saying that, Wei Zhongde ordered people to get gunpowder, load it on, and prepare for a demonstration.

When Zhu Yijun saw the eunuch, craftsmen in groups, one person carrying the gun barrel and the other person preparing ammunition, he frowned and asked, "Since the gun barrel skills are changed, they should be general. Why not use them on bird guns, but must be used on muskets?"

Wei Zhongde didn't understand it very much, so he quickly winked at Qian Dajiang.

The latter understood and explained first: "Your Majesty knows that in order to make the bullet arrow rotate along the gun barrel, the bullet arrow can only be thicker than the gun barrel."

"When loading, you have to smash it for a long time. The shape of the musket is simpler than that of the bird gun, and it is simpler to load, and it is more suitable for using rifled lines."

As soon as the words were finished, everyone saw that the little eunuch in charge of the demonstration was slamming the loading arrow with a hammer.

Jia Sanjin, the director of the Rong Zhengtang, curled his lips: "When I go to the battlefield, how can I have so much time to load ammunition and arrows for the soldiers, right?"

Not to mention the cavalry charge, with this skill, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled can come to the front.

Qi Jiguang also showed a look of pity on his face.

Qian Dajiang scratched his arm a little uncomfortable and smiled awkwardly: "I'm still thinking of a way, but still thinking of a way."

At this time, several eunuchs who were testing the gun were finally loaded.

Although everyone was already shaking their heads in their hearts, they still looked at them intently.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A few gunshots, and the smoke disappeared.

"Sixteen of the ten shots!"

Fifty steps away, the little eunuch lit the target and shouted at the top of his throat.

This hit rate is already very high.

But the civil and military officials were indifferent to their faces.

Wang Chonggu put down his musket and shook his head: "The bullet and arrow are definitely not thicker than the barrel. The speed is nearly half lower than before, and even the armor may be difficult to penetrate."

When Lao Xingwu heard the howling sound of the arrows, he realized how much the speed was reduced.

If the speed slows down, the power will naturally become weaker.

In short, aligning the head may be helpful, but not practical.

Qian Dajiang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

At this time, Zhu Yijun suddenly said: "One code is converted to one code, even if there are some limitations, it may be used as a technical reserve."

"And, since you have done this, you may not be able to get the essence by bounceing the arrow."

After saying that, he looked at Wei Zhongde and Qian Dajiang: "As the usual practice, I will pay you the silver reward for rifling. I will start a new topic about the difficulty of slow loading and the difficulty of the speed of rifling."

Wei Zhongde and Qian Dajiang showed joy on their faces and hurriedly thanked them.

Zhu Yijun naturally would not bully the old craftsmen by taking advantage of the ineffective reasons.

In recent years, in the military war, he spent money to redeem the skills of these craftsmen to integrate the skills of heirlooms, and also distributed silver rewards to the results, spending hundreds of thousands of taels.

What's more, technological progress is gradually explored, so how can it be achieved overnight?

People like Wang Chonggu are purely used to imitating advanced firearms over the years, so they hope to get it done in one go.

Seeing that the emperor was generous and used the money from the palace to pay the reward silver, the court officials naturally had nothing to say.

When Qi Jiguang finished talking about the firearm, he immediately took the opportunity to push the gun in his hand forward: "Is this the flintlock rifle that His Majesty said?"

Everyone looked back together.

I saw Qi Jiguang holding a musket that was almost similar to a bird gun in his hand.

A trigger was made on the butt stock, and the trigger and the hammer formed a small mechanism. There was a piece of flint clamped on the jaw of the hammer. You could see the anvil when you opened the loading place.

Although he knew that there was no gunpowder in the gun, Jia Sanjin still coughed lightly: "Governor Qi, pay attention to the discipline of the Beijing camp and avoid people with a gun."

Qi Jiguang was as good as a stream of good deeds and handed the flintlock rifle to Jia Jia.

Jia Sanjin was about to pick him up, but Zhu Yijun walked between the two and reached out to grab the flintlock rifle: "It's the flintlock rifle."

"Every time this gun pulls the trigger, the flint on the hammer will hit the fire door, sparks will appear and ignite gunpowder, and stimulate the arrowheads."

"For bird guns with different fuses, the flintlock gun does not need to carry fuses to ignite. It is easy to use, and the loading time is shorter and the fire is faster."

After saying that, he pulled the trigger a few times and sparks shot out.

After Jia Sanjin was so scared that he shivered, Zhu Yijun smiled and handed over the flintlock rifle.

Wang Chonggu also became interested and reached out to pick him up from Jia Sanjin's hand.

There are too many disadvantages of fuse ignition. They are afraid of water and wind. When picking the sky, the length of fuse is different and the time of excitation is different. It tests the proficiency of soldiers and often turns off the fire and becomes mute.

If you can use flint to ignite instantly, it seems to be much more practical.

Wang Chonggu looked around and pulled the trigger to the ground.

After a while of experimentation, Wang Chonggu frowned: "It seems that it can be ignited every time?"

Zhu Yijun nodded and explained: "The Mars of flint are unstable, and sometimes even have to be pulled three or four times before they can be activated."

"And they are also afraid of tides, even more so than fuse."

Wang Chonggu nodded.

An expected problem.

Even he thought of more flaws in a blink of an eye.

This simple method of excitation is probably very easy to get out of fire, and I hold it in my hand and pull the trigger at any time.

Training is also a problem. The operation is simple, but after adding mechanisms, it is even more difficult for soldiers to understand.

Of course, these are small problems that can be overcome, at least much more advanced than ignition ropes.

Wang Chonggu stretched out his finger and snatched it into the gun, asking inadvertently: "The cost should be not low, right?"
