Three hundred and ninetieth eight chapters flintlock gun

The success of the Flowering Bullet attracted great attention from everyone. Bi Maokang's status increased rapidly and was respected by everyone. What followed was the Shenji Camp that attracted everyone's attention. In the past, most of those who entered the Shenji Camp had a fair physical constitution and had a slightly weak ability in competitions or training.

Sun Chuanting was still very smart. After talking to Su Tiancheng several times, he had already felt that the Shenji Camp would definitely have some changes, and the previous model would have changed. This is also because the power of the red cannon and the general cannon was extraordinary.

Su Tiancheng has extraordinary vision, which makes Sun Chuanting sincerely admire him.

Recently, Bi Maokang has begun to urge the manufacture of bird guns. It is said that this kind of bird gun is very different from the previous comb rope guns, and its performance has been greatly improved.

The military camp was completely built. After the successful development of the flower bomb, the Jiangning Camp took out 10,000 taels of silver and rewarded Bi Maokang and others. The military craftsmen also received the reward silver, which inspired everyone. Many military craftsmen proposed some improvement experience based on their own practical experience to further improve the firearms.

Su Tiancheng received news from the capital that Chunping had also given birth to a daughter, and the mother and daughter were safe.

Unfortunately, he couldn't return to the capital and could not see his daughter for the time being.

The matters of Henan Prefecture were basically entrusted to Zhang Pu to preside over it. Su Tiancheng was stationed in Jiangning Camp again, focusing on the production of firearms. There were still many favorable conditions. Jiangning Camp could get the silver and the raw materials were transported from Kaifeng City. Because of Bi Maokang's idea, some outstanding military craftsmen in the capital also slowly came to Henan Prefecture and entered Jiangning Camp.

These are precious wealth. Su Tiancheng paid special attention to it.

In mid-November, the first flintlock rifle was born.

This is a very well-made flintlock rifle, with a length of about 90 cm, and a bayonet was added to the barrel in front. This was suggested by Su Tiancheng. The military scholars have made a tool similar to a bayonet for hundreds of years according to the requirements. There are notches on both sides of the bayonet, with a length of twenty cm, and the bayonet has a handle. It can be used alone, and the more important function is to be put on the bayonet and can be used as a spear.

The only thing I was a little dissatisfied with was the barrel, which used fine iron. The steel material has been around for hundreds of years, but there is still a difference in texture, so it is definitely not comparable to seamless steel pipes.

Sun Chuanting personally tested the shooting and pulled the trigger. In one minute, he shot six lead bullets in a row, except for the barrel that caused some heat. There was no other problem.

The wooden board about fifty meters opposite, which is three centimeters thick, has been completely penetrated.

A shocked expression appeared on Sun Chuanting's face.

This bird gun is very different from the previous mesh guns. It is much faster and does not require ignition and has a greater power. This is the first time he has seen such round lead bullets. The previous mesh guns were composed of countless small particles of lead bullets, and they require special paper shells to measure the number of lead bullets. It is not possible to measure the number of lead bullets if there is too much. It is not possible to reduce it. It also needs to measure the amount of black gunpowder.

This flintlock rifle is also very different from the first flintlock rifle in history.

This is because Su Tiancheng put forward some views. Although he is not very familiar with guns, he also knows some basic things. The black gunpowder required to push lead bullets can be accurately measured and connected with lead bullets. As for bayonets, this is something that children know hundreds of years later.

Bi Maokang and the military craftsmen are very smart. As long as Su Tiancheng comes up with the idea, they can make repeated improvements.

The only thing that cannot be improved is the barrel, which is impossible.

"Sir, this kind of bird gun is very different from before. It can be used on rainy or snowy days, and it is much more powerful. I think if it can be equipped with every soldier in the Shenji Camp, it will definitely play a great role."

Bi Maokang looked at the cheerful Sun Chuanting and spoke with a smile.

"This new bird gun has a lot of contributions from the adults. I have guided the officials to make improvements and are much more powerful. Please ask the officials to give this gun a name."

Su Tiancheng was not polite, thought for a moment, and spoke.

"This new type of firearm was developed by Master Bi with great effort. It mainly relies on flint instead of flint to get angry. The fire device is completely different. Pull the trigger, press the faucet down, and rub against the flint to get angry. You can shoot. I think it is called a flintlock rifle."

Sun Chuanting and Bi Maokang fully agreed that such a name is concise and vividly illustrates the changes in the bird gun.

What they could not have imagined was that the flintlock rifle had been improved many times in the next few years, so that it became the absolute reliance on the Ming Dynasty to conquer all its enemies.

In more than two months, the flowering bullet was successfully developed and the flintlock rifle was born. Such speed is unimaginable to ordinary people, but it was successful in Jiangning Camp.

Of course, all of this is absolutely confidential, and the court does not know it.

The reason for Su Tiancheng to conceal is very simple. Everything needs to be practiced before it can truly play a role. Besides, this is the hard work of Lord Bi Maokang. The Jiangning Camp has spent a lot of money to develop and it is easily spread. If the opponent is prepared, he will not be able to win by surprise.

In the military camp, mass production began.

The silver flowed out like white water.

This time, the officers of Jiangning Camp had no objection. Each of the officers with more than 100 households was equipped with a handgun. This is also a type of flintlock rifle, but the barrel was shorter. Everyone has tried the power of the handgun, which is completely different from before. The shooting speed is fast and will not be affected by the weather. The force is much greater. Within fifty meters, there will be no big problem in piercing a person's body. Even wearing armor can be penetrated.

Su Tiancheng requested that within the year, ten thousand flintlock rifles would be produced, and the more lead bullets, the better.

There were 30,000 soldiers in Jiangning Camp, and 10,000 flintlock rifles were produced, which also shows that one-third of the soldiers would enter the Shenji Camp, and the change was also very large.

Sun Chuanting once asked Su Tiancheng, but Su Tiancheng did not express his thoughts for the time being. The implication was still under consideration and there was no final decision.

Song Sijun, Wan Chenggui and others gradually got on the right track.

Henan Prefecture's support to the greatest extent makes them feel as if they are in water.

Song Sijun was very smart and once cited Su Tiancheng's sign, meaning that he had received the full support of the prefect. After these words were passed, Song Sijun was still a little nervous, and he didn't expect that the government office would have no opinion.

The 1.2 million taels of silver handed over to Jiangning Camp had already been handed over.

When Song Sijun arrived at the government office, he still thought in his mind, not knowing what happened to Su Tiancheng find him.

"Boss Song, recently, Jiangning Camp has been in a relatively large expense, and I'm afraid you will have to get your support."

Song Sijun's heart skipped a beat. Since Su Tiancheng spoke, it was definitely not a small amount.

Sure enough, Su Tiancheng continued to speak.

"This year, you have to find a way to raise more than 1.5 million taels of silver."

Song Sijun couldn't help but tremble for a moment. Unless he took out his old capital, he might as well not be able to make up all the money. In desperation, Song Sijun could not speak for a while.

"Boss Song, don't worry. It will definitely be difficult to ask you to take out so much money. I have already figured out a way to ensure you can take it out."

Su Tiancheng said this, and Song Sijun's eyes lit up. Every time Su Tiancheng came up with an idea, he would make a lot of money.

"You can contact Hou Jin and Duogandusi to trade firearms with them, that is, the bird guns, crooked guns, and three-eyed guns of Jiangning Camp, all of which are handed over to you. If you sell them, Jiangning Camp can be responsible for the safety along the way."

Song Sijun stood up in fear.

"Big, sir, Caomin has never traded with the Later Jin Dynasty, and has never done any arms deals."

"Haha, what I said is true. You have to trade arms with the Later Jin Dynasty, mainly bird guns and other things. Some Francs and tiger squat cannons cannons cannons. I can also consider them. I can tell you clearly that you are engaged in arms trading for Jiangning Camp this time. Don't worry about it, don't have many concerns."

In arms trading, the money earned is difficult to calculate. Although the Later Jin has a lot of firearms, it lacks production technology. Once the firearms are scrapped, there is no way. They can only rely on battles to loot. After all, a certain amount of sacrifice is required. If the firearms can be traded, the Later Jin will be unsuccessful.

If you are allowed to trade firearms with the Later Gold, as long as the quantity is large, it will not be very difficult to earn one million taels of silver at a time. Especially the franchises, tiger squat cannons and other cannons, which are even more treasures in the eyes of the Later Gold.

Seeing that Su Tiancheng was speaking very sincerely, Song Sijun sat down skeptically.

"Boss Song, time must be fast. Jiangning Camp needs money, and it is not OK to increase your burden for no reason. It is already November. Within December, several big deals must be made. After you go back, plan immediately and use all your strength. You may have to work hard during the Spring Festival."

"Don't worry, sir, the grass-roots must have done it."

After Song Sijun left, a smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

The medley gun is outdated. If you sell these outdated firearms to the Later Jin, they will be happy to go there. Jiangning Camp can get a large amount of silver, large-scale improvement devices, and reconfigure them. At that time, the power of Jiangning Camp will not only shock the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, all this requires money, a lot of money is needed, and it is absolutely impossible to do without money.
