Four hundred and fortieth chapters imitation fire gun
"Then what use do we have for these broken muskets? Are they going to be used as targets for Pang Gang?"
Hearing what Li Yan said, Li Yan and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly. They were afraid that Li Zicheng would be really angry. Li Yan quickly explained: "Don't be upset, King Chuang. There is a reason why the students want these fire blunderbuss. Although these fire blunderbuss cannot
Compared with the fire cannons of the Qingzhou Army, but compared to the fire cannons of the Ming Dynasty at this time, they are not a bit stronger. We can still use them to fight against the Ming army, and we can also use this as a basis to train a group of skilled
If there is another chance to obtain the firearms held by the Qingzhou Army in the future, there will not be no manpower to operate them."
"Well, that's true." Li Zicheng nodded, "Don't you think we brothers had nothing when they left Shaanxi? But it's probably not easy to get the kind of gun used by the Qingzhou Army."
"It doesn't matter!" Song Xiance came over with a cane and said: "Let's find a way to seize a few of them. Then we can find a way to let the craftsmen make them according to those bird guns. I don't believe it. Could it be that those bird guns can only be made by
The Qingzhou Army can do it, but we can’t?"
"Song's military commander's words make sense." Everyone nodded repeatedly...
At the same time that Li Zicheng received this batch of firecrackers, Huang Taiji, who was far away in Liaodong, also came to a small mountain village more than 30 miles away from Shengjing, and the original name of this village was Zouzigou.
Huang Taiji led his beloved concubine Dayu'er and Dorgon and dozens of other Manchu princes and ministers to the village, escorted by thousands of Bajala white-armored soldiers. However, the village looked a bit dilapidated.
Although hundreds of houses have been renovated, there are still some signs of burning and ruins.
Before entering the village, Huang Taiji and his party heard bursts of "clinking" sounds of firearms. Before the Bagala soldiers around him could react, Huang Taiji stopped their actions. He shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, this must be Kong Youde and the others training troops."
After walking for a while, after passing several checkpoints and arriving at the village, I saw hundreds of soldiers under the Han Army flag practicing shooting under the orders of their officers. Thousands of sergeants were standing neatly behind them. Kong Youde was sitting there.
Drinking tea at a table in the back.
The soldiers were divided into three rows. The first row squatted, the second row stood, and the third row waited for orders with their muzzles pointed upward.
I saw the sergeant in the first row holding a firecracker and pointing it at the target sixty steps ahead and pulling the trigger. I heard a banging sound. After the white smoke cleared, I could see it from the perspective of Huang Taiji and others.
The targets in front were all hit out of ten, and then the soldiers in the second row began to shoot at the targets again, and the cycle started again. In less than a cup of tea, the soldiers in the three rows all fired the muskets in their hands.
And the accuracy rate has reached 50%.
"Okay!" A cheer sounded from behind Kong Youde.
Since Huang Taiji did not let anyone outside inform him, Kong Youde did not notice Huang Taiji and his party coming from behind.
Kong Youde looked back. He was so frightened that he jumped up and ran to Huang Taiji, knelt down in front of Huang Taiji and said tremblingly: "Report to the emperor. My slave Kong Youde is training soldiers and failed to meet them in time. I hope the emperor will atone for his sins!"
"Well, I have long said that you don't need to be so polite in the military camp, why have you forgotten again?" Huang Taiji, who looked magnanimous on the surface, helped Kong Youde up and scolded him with a smile.
Kong Youde took advantage of the situation and stood up, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, why didn't you send someone to notify me when you came to my army camp, so that I could pick you up?"
"What are you going to pick up? Are you still worried that I don't know the way?" Huang Taiji waved his hand. He seemed to be in a good mood at this time. He smiled and said to you: "You promised me that you would help me within half a year.
I want to build a strong firearms army, and I ask you, have you done it now?"
Kong Youde solemnly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. These soldiers have been trained by my slaves and have mastered firearms. I can guarantee that they will not be inferior to Pang Gang's Qingzhou Army."
Although Kong Youde had never fought against the Qingzhou Army, he had heard others talk about the Qingzhou Army's performance. After more than half a year of training, he believed that his Han army flag might be inferior to the Qingzhou Army in terms of firearm range, but the quality of the soldiers was
It is already on par with the Qingzhou Army, or even worse.
But Kong Youde's self-confidence made some people a little dissatisfied. Dorgon frowned and said: "King Gongshun, it's not that I don't believe you. I have taught you Pang Gang before. What's Pang Gang's strength?"
The king also knows it very well. Judging from the shooting demonstration just now by your Han army flag, it is not even the slightest bit different from that of the Qingzhou army, especially your fire cannons are not even the slightest bit different."
"Oh, really?" Kong Youde was unconvinced after hearing this. Dorgon now questioned his firearms camp in public, which was a slap in his face. In the past six months, Huang Taiji had conquered a large part of the Qing Dynasty.
All the manpower and material resources were tilted towards the Han army flag. By saying this, wasn't Dorgon questioning his ability?
Having said this, there was no room for Kong Youde to back down. He raised his head and said, "In that case, how about asking Prince Rui to give me some advice in person?"
"Don't take advice seriously." Dorgon smiled modestly and gestured to one of his followers behind him. The follower quickly took off a baggage from behind and came to Dorgon.
Kneel down and lift the bundle above your head.
Dorgon finally shook his bag, and a musket was exposed. Dorgon raised the musket high above his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please see, everyone, please see, this musket is the one under Pang Gang's command."
You can see the difference between the firecrackers used by the Qingzhou Army and the firecrackers we use."
Da Yu'er, who had been leaning against Huang Taiji, stared at the fire gun in Dorgon's hand and said, "Prince Rui, can you show me the fire gun in your hand?"
"Of course you can!" Dorgon quickly bent down and held the firecracker flat, parallel to his head, and handed it to Dayu'er.
After Da Yu'er took the firegun with both hands, he felt his hands heavy and almost fell.
Dorgon quickly held the gun and said, "Your Highness Zhuang Fei, be careful. This gun weighs ten pounds, but you can be calm."
In desperation, Dorgon accidentally touched Da Yu'er's back with his fingers, and felt a slippery feeling slipping through his fingertips. Dorgon's face turned slightly red as his mind wandered.
Da Yuer's face was also slightly red, and she quickly took her hand back, looked at the firearm, and then said: "What's the difference? It's just that the workmanship is more refined. Is there anything mysterious about it?"
Dorgon shook his head and said: "Your Highness, don't finish your words yet. You can wait until you have tried the power of this fire gun before making a decision."
After saying that, Dorgon called out: "Zhaha Tai, please test-fire the power of this fire gun and show it to the Emperor, His Royal Highness Concubine Zhuang and all your lords."
"Scum!"
Following Dorgon's order, a Gesheha stood up, respectfully took the firearm from Dorgon's hand, and then quickly took out a pack of fixed gunpowder and loaded it into the barrel through the muzzle of the gun.
The pestle moved quickly a few times, then it was aimed at a target in the distance, and then he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, your lords, please look carefully. I will now demonstrate the power of this fire gun to your lords."
"boom!"
A dull gunshot sounded, and a slight popping sound was heard from the front, and a large tank that was used as a target suddenly turned into pieces.
"Hiss..."
There was a sound of gasping around, and many people, including Huang Taiji, were shocked. Only Abatai and others who had fought against Pang Gang's Qingzhou Army looked normal. They had seen it in Julu and Dezhou.
The sharpness of this kind of firecracker.
Kong Youde used lightning speed to snatch the gun from Goshiha's hand. He held the gun in his hand and looked left and right, and finally put his eyes in front of the gun barrel to observe carefully, and finally
He said in a trembling voice: "What a wonderful workmanship! What a wonderful workmanship!"
Huang Taiji's face was also very ugly, and he finally said in a deep voice: "If I read it correctly just now, this fire cannon can hit three hundred steps away, right?"
Dorgon lowered his head and said: "Reporting to the Emperor, to be precise, it should be three hundred and fifty steps. I already reported this to the Emperor when I came back."
Huang Taiji's face turned even greener, but Dorgon's words made him choke. Last time Dorgon and others returned from Julu with a huge defeat, Huang Taiji punished several generals for this. Although many of them were
Regun and other dozens of generals all said in unison that the firearms of the Qingzhou Army were too sharp, but Huang Taiji was not a fuel-efficient one. He had been dealing with the Ming Army for more than 20 years, and he thought he had seen a lot.
He has broad knowledge, and he has never seen any of the Ming army's firearms. He always thought that Dorgon and others were shirking responsibility for their failures, but today Dorgon told him with living facts that this matter was indeed
It is indeed true, the firearms of the Qingzhou Army are so sharp.
Ignoring Duo Regan's seemingly serious but slightly smug look in his eyes, Huang Taiji's fat body slowly turned halfway towards Kong Youde, "King Gong Shun, I ask you now, can your firearms battalion take over?"
Is this kind of firearm imitated?"
Kong Youde didn't answer, but just put his little finger into the barrel of the gun and turned it around. After a long time, he smiled bitterly at Huang Taiji and knelt down: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my incompetence. I can't do it."
"Trash!" Huang Taiji finally couldn't suppress his anger and roared: "You have such a firearm in your hand and you say you can't prevent it. What's the use of raising so many of your craftsmen!"
Kong Youde said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, it's not that the slave is incompetent, but this gun is not complicated in other aspects, but the lines in its barrel are so clever that the slave really can't imitate it!"
