My Daming New Empire

That night, Zhu Zhanji was alone in the study for an hour.In the end, it was decided that the new guns would be displayed as usual, but the popularization should be postponed for a while, at least wait for Zhu Di to come back to see what he thinks of this new weapon.

Although Zhu Di is the biggest warmonger, he has a good sense of balance between politics and the military.

In the original history, he attached great importance to the development of new weapons. Cannons and muskets have all flourished in his hands.

But after Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji came to power, the research and development of firearms was not taken seriously, and the manufacture of muskets became worse and worse.

It is impossible for Zhu Zhanji to ask others for advice on how to balance the contradiction between stabilizing rule and increasing firepower, but only him.

With this in mind, Zhu Zhanji directly issued an order to imprison all the craftsmen involved in the manufacture of new guns, especially bullets.

Before Zhu Di returns, they will temporarily lose their freedom and cannot leave Xiamaqiao Farm.

Although there is no new gunpowder, no primer, they can't make a powerful new gun.But this processing technique itself is the biggest secret.

With this in mind, Zhu Zhanji arranged for the production of round-headed pistol bullets for the remaining bit of mercury fulminate. This [-]th-century Boleta pistol is the sharpest weapon he can avoid in this world. arms.

The ballistic and accuracy of this gun still need to be adjusted, and a lot of bullets are needed to practice.

Get off Maqiao, Habayashi School of Health.

"Li Zifeng, you are well-informed. The day before yesterday, His Highness told everyone to observe the new weapon. Why did you block the shooting range today?"

"I don't know..." 15-year-old Li Zifeng still has the youthful publicity, couldn't help but whispered again: "Since His Highness wants to keep it secret, there must be a reason to keep it secret. Think about how many people we have in Yingtian Mansion... at least Tens of thousands of envoys from other countries, if I let them learn, it will be a big disaster for me."

It was Xu Yong, the son of Wu Kangbo, who was talking to him, and the little guy said with deep affirmation: "There are too many barbarians in Yingtian Mansion. Except for Dongying and the Korean lady, I think His Highness should drive out all those barbarians. Walk."

Another little guy said disdainfully: "What do you know, Your Highness doesn't understand like you? Only by letting the barbarians see the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty can the barbarians return to their hearts. Can you come here just by beating?"

Xu Yong hugged the other party's neck with an angry smile, and said with a sneer: "Zhao Fang, you haven't practiced for a few days, you are so brave!"

Li Zifeng quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Don't bully Zhao Fang, he is not in good health, and you won't be able to win by force."

Zhao Fang is the descendant of Xin Chengbo Zhao Yi. His grandfather Zhao Yi was the commander of Xuzhou. He was dismissed and exiled because he killed Yunding and stole the army's salary.

It just so happened that he was seriously ill and didn't have time to heal, and the root cause of the disease fell.

His ancestor later turned over when he encountered an earth dragon in Luliang, and saved countless people from the catastrophe. He was able to return to his original post and his title.However, his body has always been weaker than ordinary people.

But although Zhao Fang is in poor health, he is clever and cunning, and he is a famous fortune teller among them.

Xu Yong was just playing around with him, loosened his neck and said with a smile: "If you have many schemes, you need Li Zifeng to save you."

Zhao Fang refused to accept it and said: "If you have the ability, you can fight Li Zifeng, but bullying me, a sick person, is nothing."

Suddenly there was a gunshot from the school grounds. This kind of gunshot was lower than ordinary muskets, and then there was a burst of cheers.

None of these little guys spoke, and stared curiously at the direction of the school field.

Li Zifeng sighed: "I don't know what the new gun looks like, if only I could shoot it twice."

The others nodded again and again, with envious looks on their faces.

On the other side of the school field, 200 meters away, Zhu Zhanji hit the bullseye with a shot. The bullet passed through an inch-thick wooden target, leaving a hole.

Seeing this scene, all the nobles and generals were speechless.

Today's muskets are only lethal within 50 meters, and beyond 100 meters, even if they hit a vital point, they can only injure, not die.

But because it is a lead bullet, if the lead bullet enters the body, eight people will die, and two more will be fatal and disabled.

So today's guns are powerful enough.

But this kind of musket, although it is just a bullet, seems to kill a person if it hits it!

Moreover, the distance has doubled.

No, more than double.

Zhu Zhanji fired a shot, and Habayashi's guards carried the target back to the crowd, so that everyone could see the effect of the shooting.

Some people praised the gun for being good, and many people praised Zhu Zhanji for his accurate shooting.

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, stopped everyone's discussion, and said, "I'll talk about it later, let's try the distance of 300 meters and 400 meters."

The crowd in front immediately dispersed, leaving a fan-shaped space, but each of them had doubts on their faces.

These 300 meters, 400 meters, a human-shaped target, looks not much bigger than a soybean, can it really be hit?

But Zhu Zhanji seemed very sure, and naturally no one would touch him at this time.

There was another gunshot, and everyone could clearly see that the target 300 meters away fell in response. Although it did not fall completely, it was certain that the bullet hit the target.

The guard hiding in the ditch immediately got up, picked up the target, and ran back.

This time, although the bullet hit the target and left a hole, the bullet did not penetrate completely.The deformed bullets were mixed with sawdust. Zhang Fu reached out to touch it, but was burned.

He couldn't help but wonder: "Although there is no penetration from 300 meters away, it can still make a big hole in a person's body. And there is still high temperature. Obviously, as long as you are shot, it is absolutely unreasonable."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and asked someone to raise the flag again, aiming at the target that was almost completely blocked by the front sight 400 meters away.

He has tried many times yesterday, and it is not difficult to hit the target at 300-400 meters, but at [-] meters, it depends entirely on feeling.After practicing all afternoon yesterday, ten shots can hit the target at most five shots.

Pulling the bolt of the gun, a cartridge case was ejected. Li Liang didn't let others pick it up, picked it up himself, and put it in a pocket he specially prepared.

Everyone had a lot of doubts in their hearts, because Zhu Zhanji fired two shots in a row without reloading, but after shooting, he just pulled the trigger behind him and continued shooting.

Could it be that this gun can put multiple bullets into it first?

People who don't understand the separation of bullets will only find it amazing.

This kind of long gun cannot be said to be a copy of which model.Because Zhu Zhanji borrowed many styles of spears and made them.

In terms of loading, he borrowed from Mauser. He can load five bullets at a time. Every time he shoots, he manually ejects the shell before continuing to shoot.

This time, he didn't just shoot one shot, there were still three bullets in the chamber, and he shot them all at once before letting the guards carry them back to the target.

He performed well in the three shots this time, and two shots should have hit the target.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji put down his spear, a group of nobles couldn't help but came forward to take a closer look.

But Li Liang moved faster. Before everyone could get close, he put the spear in a cloth bag and held it in his arms.

Everyone was stunned, Yang Zhangde had a close relationship with Li Liang, and couldn't help but said, "Young Supervisor Li, why is this?"

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong said with a smile: "Li Shaojian, Your Highness asked us to see the new gun, why did you put it away?"

Li Liang said shyly: "Such a murder weapon, of course, must be kept secret. You can only have a look at it with His Majesty's permission."
