Chapter 351 You Can Do It!
On the same day, in the evening after dinner, Zhang Cheng came to the mansion next to the Admiral's Office in Dushikoubao City to see the supervisory eunuch Li Guofu.

Zhang Cheng came here for two reasons, one is to say hello to Li Guofu before going to Beijing to welcome his relatives, so as to avoid any misunderstanding between the two.

The second is to test Li Guofu's attitude towards the development of Cuju in the army. After all, he is from the palace and knows the details of the capital and the palace. If he can acquiesce, it will be much easier to do.

After sitting on the chair, Zhang Cheng first asked: "During these days, Eunuch Li is still used to living in Beilu?"

Li Guofu replied casually: "Our family has been running outside for the past few years in accordance with the will of the Long Live Lord, and there is nothing we are not used to. As a courtier, we will suffer some hardships, but we have to take care of the Long Live Lord's errands." That's right, I'm sorry to Lord Long Live."

"Eunuch Li is right. Your Majesty has shown great favor to Zhang Cheng, so he will never forget it. The main purpose of coming here today is to tell Eunuch Li that my mother has arranged a marriage for Zhang Cheng in Beijing.
The wedding date is approaching, and Zhang Cheng will get up and go to the capital to welcome the bride in two days, so I just want to ask Eunuch Li if there is anything I can entrust Zhang Cheng to handle on his behalf? "Zhang Cheng said with a little humility.

Li Guofu was very satisfied with Zhang Cheng being able to report the matter in person, and immediately said: "Our family has nothing to bother General Zhang. This marriage is a major event in life. When we get married, our family will definitely come to ask General Zhang for a drink." Wedding wine and drink."

"It's only natural. Eunuch Li is the messenger of the heavenly family, and he will definitely make Zhang Cheng's wedding banquet full of splendor!"

He went on to say: "There is one more thing, I don't know if I should ask it?"

"What is it that makes it so difficult for General Zhang, who is the best in the three armies!" Li Guofu was also a little surprised.

Only then did Zhang Cheng say generously: "No one else, it's just that Zhang Cheng's thinking about military camp operations is too boring, and as time goes by, the sergeants will inevitably slack off.

That's why I thought about holding a "martial arts competition" in the camp, rewarding the best, so as to motivate all the sergeants to practice diligently. Among them is the "cuju" fight, to cultivate the sergeants' physical fitness and agility, and to cooperate with them. Wonderful, more implicit strategy in it.

Is it unknown? "

"'Cuju'?"

"Yes, 'Cuju'!"

"This was not allowed at the beginning of the country, but now who cares about this matter, our family came to the North Road under the order of the emperor, not to set you up for Zhang Cheng, our family is here to help you train the new army, from now on , but you can do everything that is beneficial to military training!"

…………

On the [-]th day of August, at the North Carpenter Camp of Yunzhoubao.

On the shooting range, Wang Gancheng, the director of the Fire Gun Bureau, is introducing the new bird guns to Zhang Cheng. There are three newly made bird guns here.

According to Wang Qiancheng, it is modeled after Zhao Shizhen's design of the Xuanyuan gun mechanism. Its advantage is that when the gun is fired, the fire door can automatically open and close with the trigger.

Moreover, the matchlock is coiled on the back of the gun machine. If it rains, a copper tile is added to cover the fire door to cover the light rain, which really greatly increases the use space of the bird gun.

Zhang Cheng greatly appreciated this, and called the shooter to test shoot on the spot. The firing procedure was the same as that of the Yunzhou blunderbuss, but the fire door opened and closed automatically as the shot was fired, so he was not afraid of the northern wind blowing away the medicine pool. The priming medicine, coupled with copper tiles to cover the light rain, will undoubtedly greatly increase its power.

Overjoyed, Zhang Cheng offered 20 taels of silver to Wang Gancheng, the director of the Fire Gun Bureau, and [-] taels of silver to each of the people involved in the research and development, as an encouragement.

As for this new type of bird blunderbuss, it is directly named "Yunzhou blunderbuss type one"!
Wang Qiancheng was also very happy after winning the reward, but he said to Zhang Cheng in a slightly mysterious way: "Commander, there is still a newly made bird gun here, and I want to demonstrate it to the commander."

"There is one more rod, where is it placed, why can't I see it?"

Only then did Wang Qiancheng say: "Last time, after the commander left, the chief Shi Tiegen once said that the commander wanted a big bird gun that could hit far and accurately, so the villain asked some old buddies to think about it together.

In the end, it was General Wei of Cheying who came to solve the villain’s confusion. Zhao Shizhen, a famous predecessor, once made three long blunderbusses, which were made by taking the strengths of Japanese blunderbuss, Lumi blunderbuss, and Western blunderbuss. It is long and thick, has a lot of charge and hits far and accurately.

The only disadvantage is that the gun barrel is too long, it is really difficult to make, and it is true that there is no need to make more. If the master only needs more than ten or dozens of shots, the villain can barely make it, but he can't rush it. "

"Zhao Shizhen?"

Zhang Cheng had already lost interest in the new big bird blunderbuss at this time, but it was the name Zhao Shizhen repeatedly mentioned by Wang Qiancheng that attracted him, but after thinking about it, he was still not interested in this name, and it must be Daming. A weapons expert.

As for Ming weapons experts, Zhang Cheng only knows Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua. It can’t be blamed for Zhang Cheng’s ignorance. He is a person living in modern society, and his liking for history is only a passing interest. Write down all those who have been there.

Besides, he didn't expect that he would accidentally travel to the chaotic world of the late Ming Dynasty. If he knew it in advance, could he not make preparations?

Even if you can't bring your laptop, mobile phone, warehouse, container, machine gun, cannon, etc., can't you still get some useful information online!

An accident, it was an accident that he came to this world, but Zhang Cheng seemed to have gradually fallen in love with this world, he realized another possibility, and even began to thank this unexpected life journey in his heart.

He only heard him ask: "Who is this Zhao Shizhen? He is still alive?"

"Superior Commander, this Zhao Shizhen is a famous scholar of the Wanli period. He devoted his whole life to studying the art of guns, and wrote many books about the guns, such as "Shen Qi Shu Shuo", "Shen Qi Miscellaneous Talks", "Shen Qi Shu or Questions". "

Wei Zhice hurriedly stepped forward and introduced Zhao Shizhen beside Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng muttered blankly, "Ah, he's already dead!"

Wei Zhice was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he understood that Zhang Cheng had developed a love for talents. Hearing that Zhao Shizhen had passed away, he just sighed in his heart.

Only then did Zhang Cheng think of the newly made big blunderbuss, and asked Wang Qiancheng, "Where is the big blunderbuss, take it quickly and watch it with me."

After a while, two people came carrying a large gun. From a distance, the barrel of this gun was nearly six feet long, and it was estimated to weigh more than ten catties.

Wang Qiancheng introduced Zhang Cheng: "Commander, this big gun is just an imitation of Zhao Shizhen's three long guns. Both the barrel and the wooden handle at the back are slightly lengthened.

In particular, the barrel of this blunderbuss is not only lengthened, but also thickened. After several repeated test shots, the charge can reach seven qian, and with the lead bullet of six qian, it can shoot more than 150 steps away. Break through a layer of iron armor. "

"That's right, the target is 150 steps away, hang a wooden board, and shoot five guns!"
