With the right materials, flintlock rifles were not difficult to make. In fact, by the mid-17th century, flintlock rifles had been widely equipped with European troops. Bi Maokang invented the self-generated musket in the Ming Dynasty and used flintlock rifles to ignite.

The blacksmith in Guangzhou City had drawings provided by Qin Zhao, and it was natural to shoot flintlock guns.

The flintlock can actually return to its position again. If the first ignition fails, you can press the ignition again.

Qin Zhao also bought a large number of sharp broken iron pieces and put them in an iron box with gunpowder.

The leads of the iron box were removed from several firecrackers. I bought the best firecrackers in Guangzhou City and removed the fuses in the middle of the firecrackers.

In fact, Qin Zhao made three gunpowder boxes and made two small boxes for experiments. The boxes used for experiments were only one tenth of the size of the one that was actually used, and contained five kilograms of gunpowder.

Everyone took a small one to the uninhabited mountain to do experiments.

They took a scarecrow and stood beside the bomb, pressed the gunpowder trigger hard, touched the special part at the bottom of the shell and became hot, and confirmed that the gunpowder pool had been lit and ran away. After thirty seconds, there was only a loud bang, and the small iron box was shattered by a huge shock wave, and various iron pieces rushed out suddenly.

The scarecrow standing four meters away from the gunpowder box was immediately blown away. The scarecrow was cut and broken into two pieces by a broken piece of iron. Everyone went up and looked carefully and found that there were two iron pieces inserted on the scarecrow's body, deeply inserted into the straw.

If this is a real person standing here, he will be cut off by these flying patches in minutes.

...

February 21st is the birthday of the thief "a tiger".

In the afternoon, Qin Zhao and others gathered the youngest and strongest people in Qinjia Village.

There are people guarding the village gates in the robbers' village all year round. Even if Qin Zhao can kill the robbers who drink, he still has to prepare a team of people to deal with these robbers who guard the village gates.

He led the old accountant Qin Youli to stand on the mound of the burgundy field and said loudly:

"Everyone, today is a tiger's birthday. I and six old accountants and I carried the prepared gifts to celebrate the strongman's birthday."

"This time, the strong man reduced the 'spring silver' in Qinjia Village, giving us a way out, and we should also express our feelings."

The villagers surrounded Qin Zhao and all showed their own expressions.

Qin Zhao said again: "But the reason why strong people lower the spring plowing silver is that I, Qin Zhao, said I, wanted to fight to the death with them. If strong people think that I, Qin Zhao, talk nonsense, then we will still have to die in Qinjia Village without a place to die."

"So we have to make some noise and let the strong men on the mountain understand that we are not easy to bully!"

"I selected fifty people, and each of them took a long stick and a sickle to the foot of the Chiyunfeng Mountain and listened to my orders. As soon as we celebrated our birthday, we took out sticks and danced and shouted at the foot of the strongman's mountain, so that the strongman could know our determination to break the dead."

"In this way, only by celebrating the birthday of the left hand and playing cruelly with the right hand can people not be able to make progress and truly give up the idea of ​​extorting our Qinjia Village at all times."

Hearing Qin Zhao's words, the people below looked at each other for a while, and some showed a look of fear.

Qin Youli took a step forward and said loudly: "Brother Zhao was trying his best in front of the thief, saying that he would fight to the death with the thief and fight to the death to win the amount of spring plowing today! Are you afraid that you even wave a stick at the foot of the thief mountain?"

"If you don't wave your stick, the strong men on the mountain will think you are a soft man and will extort you into bankruptcy. Let's ask, Weijia Village, which has a tight defense, why hasn't Hejia Village been extorted to such an extent by strong men? Isn't we too weak and the village has no defensive means?"

"The thief bullies the weak and fears the strong. We have to sacrifice our strengths to have a way out of our hardships!"

At this time, the patriarch of the village had been killed by the thieves, and Qin Youli was the "talk" in the village. Everyone could only obey the decisions he made with Qin Zhao. Otherwise, if the major affairs in the village were ruined and the thieves were bullied, no one would have good results.

Everyone obeyed Qin Youli's arrangement and said loudly: "The old accountant is right! Let's listen to you."

"Qin Zhao saved a villager, let's do it! We are not afraid of those thieves!"

"Isn't it just waving a stick in front of the mountain gate? I'm going to do it!"

Seeing that these people were mobilized, Qin Zhao looked at the old accountant and smiled. With these fifty people fighting against the gatekeeper, everything was foolproof.

Qin Zhao wrapped the iron box of gunpowder with sixty kilograms of gunpowder in red cloth, wrapped it like a big gift, and asked the six people to carry it all the way to the thief's place, Jiyunfeng.

The person carrying the things asked what he was carrying, but Qin Zhao did not answer, just said it was a gift.

Chiyun Peak is not far away, only half an hour away from Qinjia Village. This is also the reason why Chiyun Peak thieves blackmailed Qinjia Village to death. The reason why rabbits do not eat grass by their nests is not understood by these vicious robbers.

Qin Zhao waited at the foot of the mountain for an hour. When it was dark and it was time to have dinner, he asked fifty young and strong men to wait in the woods at the foot of the mountain, while he held a torch and walked up the mountain with a gunpowder box.

The mountain road was very steep, which made the six people carrying the gunpowder box exhausted and panting. The thieves had today but not tomorrow, but they were afraid that the mountain road was not rugged enough, and even deliberately set up big stones in places where the mountain road was smooth to block the passage. In the end, the mountain road was only a few hundred meters short and the mountain road was harder to walk than the four-mile dirt road that left the village in front.

When he walked to the flat top of the mountain, Qin Zhao saw a wooden gate.

The gate is made of wood from the mountains, and is nailed together with iron nails, and it is not very strong. Two large basins of matches are burned behind the wooden door to illuminate. The more defensive one is the two arrow towers on both sides of the wooden door, and four archers stand on the arrow tower. If an ordinary small group of people attack the mountain village, they will collapse after being shot by the four archers.

There is a wooden house behind the village gate, where three boring thieves sit, who are also guarding the gate.

Today is the birthday of a tiger. The Juyi Hall behind is eating meat and drinking with big bowls. The thieves guarding the door of the house seem a little unhappy. Maybe a tiger will send them some wine and meat later, but the small bowl of wine and meat delivered is far worse than the savory food and drink in the lobby.

Qin Zhao walked to the gate of the village with a "gift". A archer in the arrow tower asked: "Where are you? What's the matter?"

Zhao Liangce quickly went up and replied, "Go back to Mr. Qiangren, we are from Qinjia Village. I know that today is the birthday of a tiger master, so I came to send a gift to the master."

It is also a matter of celebrating the birthday of a tiger to the robber. Last year, Qinjia Village also came to give birthday gifts to the robbers. At that time, Qinjia Village was only extorted by robbers once, and he was frightened to curry favor with the robbers. Qin Zhao, as a scholar in the village, came with the clan leader to celebrate his birthday.

The person on the arrow tower's eyes lit up and asked, "What gift are you carrying?"
