Chapter 11 The Smoothbore Flintlock
"Have you heard? The emperor ignores the government all day long, and spends his time in the military battle bureau studying what bird cannons are?"
"It's a bird gun!"
"That's right! Bird gun! It's said that you can stay for a whole day, and you have to eat there."
"Tsk tsk, what's the use of studying those strange and obscene techniques? Why not learn how to do carpentry like the late emperor? At least the bed you can make can be used to sleep. What can you do with research on bird guns? Exploding the chamber? Haha!"
"Hush! Here comes the doctor."
The two of them who were having a lively chat quickly shut their mouths, and pretended to read a book.
This is a scene that happened in the Imperial College.In fact, similar discussions are happening in various places in the capital.
Zhu Youjian did spend a lot of time in the war bureau during this period.Because he summoned a man.
The inventor of the Ming Dynasty flintlock gun - Bi Maokang.
When he put a one-to-one flintlock model bought from Pinduoduo in front of him, he was immediately attracted. After getting Zhu Youjian's permission, he picked it up and studied it for a long time, and finally found that it was A light gun.This surprised him too much. He had had a similar idea before, but he didn't expect that someone had already made it.
"Dare to ask Long Live, where did such an advanced firing gun come from?"
"A tribute from a foreign country."
Bi Maokang was stunned.It turned out to be made by foreigners.The barrel of this firing gun is integrated into one piece, without a single gap!Those barbarians have mastered such advanced technology! ?
"You don't need to be shocked, this kind of firing gun is extremely difficult to produce, and it is impossible to equip it on a large scale."
Hearing this, Bi Maokang breathed a sigh of relief.
"The minister lost his temper."
"This time I called you here for this purpose! I have a book here, you can see if you can get some inspiration from it and create our own firecrackers!"
The book was "The Science of Firearms" written by Yoshinori Karuno that he had bought before.Summarize what is useful in it.Divided into basic version and advanced version.
The basic version records the invention of the matchlock gun and flintlock gun and their structural principles, which is also the limit of what the existing technical means can achieve.
The advanced edition records the invention and manufacturing principles of caps, rifling, miniature bullets and breech-loading guns, as well as detailed explanations of various ammunition.He plans to use the advanced version as the future development direction.
In the days that followed, Bi Maokang was completely obsessed with the study of the flintlock gun. When he found that the original idea in his mind could be realized and he had a higher goal, he fell into it and could never get out.It is necessary to create an ideal fire gun.Zhu Youjian was also very curious about how Daming's first truly self-developed flintlock gun was made, so he often went to the military bureau, and occasionally helped Bi Maokang point out some misunderstandings in thinking, which made him very happy. obtained.
Sometimes Bi Maokang would secretly think, aren't the two emperors of our Ming Dynasty the reincarnation of craftsmen?Why are you so obsessed with these manufacturing technologies?
Bi Maokang is more than 50 years old, but he is still focused and serious in his work, from the forging of the gun barrel to the polishing of the trigger, he requires excellence in every step, and will never be perfunctory.From him, Zhu Youjian saw the "artisan spirit" that people in later generations often say.Finally, more than ten days later, the first flintlock gun in Ming Dynasty was born, which combined contemporary and later ideas. To be precise, it should be a smoothbore flintlock gun.
On the shooting range, Bi Maokang held the flintlock gun he developed with confidence.
"Old Bi? I think it's better to find someone to test the gun? Don't accidentally hurt you." Zhu You stood far away from the inspection station and shouted at Bi Maokang.During this period of time getting along day and night, the two became a lot acquainted.I don't know when, Zhu Youjian began to call him Lao Bi, maybe he wanted to find a sense of substitution in this era.
"Long live, don't worry, I have my own measure." After speaking, he began to fill in gunpowder, gunpowder and gaskets, and then picked up a wooden hammer to knock the bullets into the barrel.After completing the complicated loading work, he raised the gun body and aimed at the wooden target a hundred paces away.
one two Three.
Why not launch yet?Zhu Youjian was a little puzzled.
Why didn't Bi Maokang launch it?
Because he was a little scared, if it exploded, don't even plan to take the face, it's the face!Not face.But how can Haikou, which has already been boasted, be taken back?In the end, he became ruthless, gritted his teeth, and pulled the trigger with his eyes closed.
"boom!"
With a puff of smoke coming out of the gun body, the lead bullet was shot out, and the gun body was safe and sound.Bi Maokang heard the noise, smelled the smell of gunpowder, and didn't feel any pain on his face, so he proudly opened his eyes.
The servant at the side hurried to the wooden rake, looked left and right for a long time, and then ran back.
"Long live, it seems, it seems to have missed the target."
When Bi Maokang heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"This, a new gun, still needs to be adjusted. I'll give it another shot."
So he skillfully charged the ammunition and ammunition again.
boom!
Missed again.
It was barely a hit until the third shot.
This is a bit different from what I imagined, shouldn't it be very accurate?Zhu Youjian was a little disappointed to see such a low hit rate.
"Old Bi, wrap the lead bullets with sackcloth soaked in grease and see if it can improve the loading efficiency."
After a while, Mabu came.Bi Maokang tore off a bit, dipped it in oil, wrapped lead bullets, and knocked them into the barrel of the gun with a delivery stick.
"Your Majesty! It's in! It's so slippery! It's inserted right into the innermost part!"
"..."
Zhu Youjian reached out and took the Huosui gun, and tapped the slightly hot barrel.
"The barrel of this gun is solid, why do I always hear about bombing?"
"To tell you the truth, your Majesty, the existing skills are completely capable of making a qualified gun barrel. As for why the bird guns equipped by my sergeant often explode, it is really, really shoddy." Bi Maokang hesitated, but still said what was deepest in his heart. idea.
"Roughly made..." Zhu Youjian murmured thoughtfully.
This Daming is really rotten.
Finally, Zhu Youjian stopped going to the Military War Bureau every day. Before leaving, he threw the book to Bi Maokang, and gave him 1 taels of silver to continue studying.
Looking at the memorials accumulated over time, Zhu Youjian was one head and two big.I ordered people to screen out some insignificant memorials according to the quotations and postings, but there were still two stacks left.He sighed helplessly, and buried himself in the pile of memorials.After reviewing all the memorials, it was already getting late outside, and the darkness was getting faster and faster.
Zhu Youjian stood up, stretched, moved his body, and came outside the hall.
"Wang Banban, where did you say Lu Xiang was promoted at this time? I don't know if the suppression of bandits is going well or not."
"I don't know about this servant, but I guess Master Lu will definitely live up to Long Live's expectations."
"Hope everything goes well."
Zhu Youjian looked up at the starry sky above his head, and his thoughts drifted back to the matter of Bi Maokang making guns.
In the past few days, the censors took turns to fight, spraying themselves as useless.Xichang also detected many rumors about him in the market. Under the intentional spread of some people, the people said that he has become a faint king who ignores the government.
From the very beginning, he knew that he would definitely face great resistance, but some things had to be done.He also knows that wanting to promote the development of technology is by no means a matter of one day, but the best time to do something is yesterday and now.
I am still young and have a lot of time.
Much to do and more to do.
We need invincible rifles and equipment.
We will have sharp warships and cannons.
We want to cross the ocean and plant the flag of Ming Dynasty in other people's land.
No matter how many years he can extend the Ming Dynasty.
No matter which dynasty will rule the country in the future.
He doesn't even want to let the century of humiliation be recorded in the history books of the Chinese people!
Ceding land for compensation, dumping opium, burning, killing and looting.
Never again!
at least,
in this world!
"It's a bird gun!"
"That's right! Bird gun! It's said that you can stay for a whole day, and you have to eat there."
"Tsk tsk, what's the use of studying those strange and obscene techniques? Why not learn how to do carpentry like the late emperor? At least the bed you can make can be used to sleep. What can you do with research on bird guns? Exploding the chamber? Haha!"
