Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 86
In the Nanyuan school grounds, Qi Jin is directing the soldiers of the Wanshenji Battalion to practice back and forth in a neat formation. On the grass not far away, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, uncle and nephew Cao Bianjiao, are directing thousands of guards to practice galloping horses. , A burst of gold and iron horses came to the surface.

This scene, but the real thousands of horses and horses, makes people excited just looking at it.

Taichang held up the binoculars and watched in the distance for a while, his face flushed with excitement. His Shenjiying and Shenwuying's pro-army finally had some appearance. It won't be long before he can completely suppress those courtiers with force. Church officials, so that they dare not have any unreasonable thoughts.

He put down the binoculars and was smugly intoxicated for a while, then shook the rein and urged the horse to go to the school field.

When Qi Jin, Cao Wenzhao and other generals saw him coming, they immediately handed over the soldiers to their subordinates for training, and quickly greeted him.

After paying respects to the monarchs and ministers, Taichang couldn't help pointing at the muskets and cannons on the carriage behind and excitedly said: "General Qi, I have some good news for you, the new muskets have been made, and the casting speed of the new cannons has also increased a lot. In less than half a year, the Shenji Battalion will be completed."

Hearing this, Qi Jin couldn't help showing a hint of excitement on his calm face. He walked up to the carriage, picked up a new-style flintlock gun, and couldn't help admiring: "This gun is so exquisitely made!"

Of course.

Taichang couldn't wait to say: "General Qi, why don't you arrange someone to test the gun now."

Well, how did the bullet get in there?

Also, where are the wires placed?

Qi Jin was stunned for a moment, and then hurried to Bi Maokang to ask for advice.

This musket was designed by Lord Bi Mokangbi, of course he knew it.

He listened carefully to Bi Maokang's explanation for a while, then nodded, and raised his hand to beckon several generals in chain mail.

This test gun is more dangerous than the test gun. The test gun can run away after igniting the fuse, but the test gun cannot be ignited and the gun is thrown away. Therefore, it must be protected by armor, otherwise, it will be dissatisfied. Peach blossoms may also bleed all over.

The generals were all from the Qi family army, so they were naturally familiar with muskets. Qi Jin briefly explained to them, and they quickly loaded the bullets, stuffed them into the bolt, and loaded them.

All that's left is to fire.

A general walked ten steps away with a serious face, pointed his gun at a big tree in the distance, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

However, he turned his face backward immediately after pulling the trigger, so that even if the gun exploded, it would be blocked by the strap under the helmet, and his face would not be hurt at all.

There was a crisp "pop", and the bullet almost swished into the tree trunk a hundred paces away.

Very good, no bombing, and the accuracy is quite good.

Next, the remaining seven generals raised their guns without hesitation, and stepped forward in turn, just one shot.

Looking at their resolute faces, Taichang couldn't help but secretly nodded.

These people were really brave. They knew that there was a danger of exploding their guns, but none of them frowned.

In fact, this new type of flintlock gun is unlikely to explode, because the barrel is a whole, and it is impossible to deform at all. Moreover, the joints of the bolt, bullet and barrel have been carefully ground, which can be said to be a tight fit. , without a little gap.

If this kind of gun can explode the chamber, then the iron-covered gun handle will also explode.

Sometimes the improvement of technology can really get rid of many inherent ills, just like the problem of musket explosion. If the barrel is rolled out of thin iron sheet, it cannot be avoided. However, once it is changed to an integrally cast barrel, The problem of blasting the chamber basically doesn't exist.

In fact, he had expected it long ago, but he deliberately didn't say it. He just wanted to see if the generals would be nervous during the test of the gun, and if they would hesitate or even shake their hands when shooting.

As a result, there was nothing abnormal at all. These people were determined and did not hesitate.

As expected, all of the Qi family's army are brave and fearless, and the Shenjiying will definitely become an invincible army in the future!

He nodded secretly, then waved his hand and said: "Try the cannons too, this time I brought nearly a hundred sub-cannonballs, try firing each cannon five times in succession to see if there will be any problems. "

Hearing this, Qi Jin quickly recruited his skilled gunners to reload the ammunition. Nearly a hundred rounds of shells and dozens of skilled gunners finished loading in a while.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Jin ordered them to line up the ten golden cannons neatly in a row, each standing in a good position, and then decisively ordered: "Five rounds of salvo, start."

The general commanding the artillery immediately raised the command flag in his hand and shouted: "Get ready."

"Ka Ka Ka", there was a sound of orderly loading, and the gunners in front of the ten guns quickly loaded the shells into the gun bodies, and the team leaders who moved around also raised their small flags in their hands.

The general commanding the artillery carefully scanned the circle, seeing that all the squad leaders had raised their ready flags, Dang even waved down the command flags in his hands, and shouted: "Light on the fire, lie down."

After speaking, he threw himself directly on the ground.

The gunners in each running position also quickly lay down on the ground after pulling the trigger, and their uniform movements were rare and elite at first glance.

"Boom boom boom" there was a loud noise, ten artillery pieces roared in unison, and grass clippings suddenly rose from the grass in the distance.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help nodding.

This is what a regular army should look like.

"Boom boom boom", the roar of the artillery continued to sound, and the five rounds of salvos were quickly completed. The bombing phenomenon during the previous cannon tests did not appear, and none of the ten cannons was damaged. This test can be regarded as a complete success.

In fact, it is basically impossible for muskets and artillery to explode after being reloaded with a sub-cluster type breech, because the main reason for muskets and artillery exploding is that the barrel or barrel is deformed by heat, while muskets and artillery are replaced with sub-cluster bullets After the breech is loaded, it is mainly bullets and shells that are heated.

The bullets and shells are taken out after firing once, so naturally the heat will not accumulate in the barrel and barrel.

In other words, as long as it is not fired too frequently, the barrel and barrel will basically not deform.

Of course, if it is a machine gun of later generations, with thousands of rounds per minute, the barrel will definitely be hot and smoke or even turn red.

However, with the current rate of fire, there are only about five rounds per minute, and it is unlikely that the barrel and barrel will be so hot that they will smoke.

At the end of the test firing, Taichang nodded in satisfaction and said: "Well, General Qi, it seems that the Shenji Battalion has practiced decently, and it can be pulled out to show its face. How about this, you prepare, and lead the army to rise tomorrow , go to the long camp inside the Xibian Gate in the northwest corner of the outer city of the capital to station, and I will order the Beijing camp to empty the camp for you."

The Shenji Battalion has uniformed attire, and their drills are quite good. It looks like a rare elite. It's time to pull them into the capital to frighten those civil servants.

Moreover, Wang Gong Factory is located in the southwest corner of the inner city, and it is only a stone's throw away from the northwest corner of the outer city. After the muskets and cannons are manufactured, they can be sent to the Shenji camp immediately, which is much more convenient than running back and forth for more than ten miles now. up.

After Taichang arranged for Shenji Camp to enter the city, he said to Cao Wenzhao at the side: "Wen Zhao, this Nanyuan will be your Shenwu Camp's residence in the future, just tell me if you need anything."

Oops, I am worried about how to open my mouth.

When Cao Wenzhao heard the words, he couldn't help showing a trace of excitement on his face.
