Daming One Piece

Chapter 118 Flintlock (first change, please recommend, please collect)
The rain has stopped!
After the rain stopped, Sun Zilin came out of the thatched hut. He was still wearing the worn-out cotton robes he had spent the winter in Liaodong. When he was in Pidao, he felt that these worn-out jackets were transparent and froze to death. But in Beigang In this place, I feel that the jacket is too warm, making people sweat.

"Wait a little longer, when the weather gets hotter again, I'll wash the jacket and ask someone to re-stretch it to make a thin jacket, and use the remaining cotton to make a few thin quilts with the old quilts. There is no need for thick quilts in this place." .”

Sun Zilin was talking to himself in a low voice, looking into the field as he walked.

The field is full of green. Potatoes are planted in the field, but the potatoes are not his. He is planting the field for the young master. .

"How many thousand catties can such an acre of land really be harvested?"

Sun Zilin muttered in his heart.

"If you can really collect a few thousand catties, then God will never accept anyone again."

Saying so, he carried the farm tools and walked to the field again. This field was his, with a total of fifteen acres.

"As long as you plant it for ten years and pay two taels of silver for one mu of land, the field will be ours..."

Thinking of this, Sun Zilin's heart burst into flames. He bent down and continued to work, just like working in the field in the beginning of spring in previous years. He even couldn't help shouting when he was working.

"Damn it, pour me a bowl of tea..."

Before he finished speaking, tears flowed from Sun Zilin's eyes with a "wow", and the next moment, he sat down on the ground and burst into tears...

His family is gone, his baby is gone, his daughter-in-law is gone...all died at the hands of Jianu.

In this family, he is the only one left, and he is the only one...

Looking at the new family from a distance, seeing the couple happily chopping bamboo and wood and building a shed, Sun Zilin sighed, wiped away his tears, and said to himself,
"This, this day has to go on..."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the new couple and spoke to them from a distance.

"Brother is new here, I live in the west, we will be neighbors from now on..."

……

Not every refugee who came to Beigang went to farm, those who could make leather went to the leather factory, those who could blacksmith went to the iron factory, and of course the carpenters went to places like shipyards.

Of course, these Liaodong refugees came here as new immigrants, and it is essential to undergo military training. The military training is not long, only half a month, and some well-trained young men will be drawn to the guards.

The Beigang Guards are different from Zhuang Ding. They get half of the military salary and one stone of rice rations every month. This kind of treatment is better than serving as soldiers in Liaodong. It was already God's blessing to get half of it, and because of this, many soldiers in Liaodong, which seemed to have a lot of food and salaries, pawned their bags and clothes. They couldn't afford poor clothes, so they could only wear armor naked.

But on the Beigang side, the guards saw that Yue Neng had enough money and food, not only did he not deduct money, but he could also eat two meals of meat a day.Correspondingly, however, the training of the guards was also extremely heavy. From five o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the evening, the training lasted for a whole day, and even at night, they had to learn literacy and arithmetic.

For the guards who practice day and night, the easiest job is to be on duty in ports, warehouses and other places. Those places only need to stand guard, and standing guard is easier than training.

"Who the hell said it was easy."

Standing in front of the armory, Xiong Wu scolded his mother in his heart, his squad had just been drawn here, this post lasted for an hour, it was not easy to stand here motionless.

I don't know how many times, he wanted to move, but he didn't dare to move, why?
There are a few guards on the opposite side watching, and those guards came with the young master, and the young master is now in the factory.It would be a big loss if they said a few words and took off his clothes later.

Being a soldier is not for everyone!
One and a half a month's silver payment, plus one stone of rice, is enough to feed a family!

But... Xiong Wu didn't have any family to support. Thinking of the family members who died in Jiannu's hands, Xiong Wu held the spear tightly in his hands, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

Most of the people in the guards were like him, and their family members died at the hands of Jiannu. In fact, everyone in this place suffered similarly.

"Sooner or later, I must avenge this revenge!"

While Xiong Wu was thinking about it, there was a sound of hammering in Reteng Arms Factory. The red steel ingots were hammered by the hydraulic forging hammer and were thinned into steel plates. More than a month ago, with the hydraulic hammer With application, the former workshop became a factory, from casting cannons to forging various weapons, and even made armor.Especially with the arrival of refugees from Liaodong, there are many craftsmen among them who can make weapons, which also alleviates the plight of the lack of craftsmen in the weapon factory.

Of course, for Shi Yiwen, the reason why he came here was for the newly manufactured firearms from the armory.

"Is this the flintlock we built?"

Picking up the flintlock gun on the table, Shi Yiwen asked.

"Yes, my lord, this is the flintlock we made."

Taro quickly replied.

"According to the young master's order, we changed the firing machine, and its structure became simpler..."

"Simple is good, simple is good..."

Looking at the flintlock gun in his hand, Shi Yiwen picked it up and took aim, then nodded in satisfaction. The dog-lock action used in this flintlock gun is somewhat similar to the flintlock gun decades later. It is not as complicated as its prototype. In fact, this flintlock gun was discovered by accident. At first, Shi Yiwen did not think that there were actually a few flintlock guns among the more than 100 muskets he bought from Orange City. The bolt is the original dog-lock bolt, and even the bolt is designed without a pot cover. It is impossible to fight in rainy or wet weather.But with the prototype, the next improvement couldn't be easier. Shi Yiwen didn't even need to take action. He only needed to tell Taro and the others his idea, and they developed a new dog-lock bolt, although it took some time. Time, but we are not in a hurry right now.

"Ever tried the gun?"

Shi Yiwen asked.

"I've tried it, son, just like you said, with an inconspicuous pot cover added, it can be fired loudly even when it's raining, which is much easier to use than the iron cannons of the past, even the best The iron cannons can’t be used when it’s raining.”

"That is, the flintlock is the future!",
Shi Yiwen laughed.

"Go, try the gun in the yard."
