The other guards who were practicing were also frightened and unprepared! Still waiting for the fire to appear!
"Your Highness, the fight is over." Zhou Zong put down his gun.
"How was the fire lit?" Zhu Biao recalled carefully and confirmed that he did not see the fire.
"We don't use open flames, we use flints. The chief said they didn't understand how to make the fire pleats when they imitated the fire gun, so..."
Zhou Zong took out what the chief told him and told His Highness the Crown Prince. Since he didn't know how to make fire pleats, he had to make it without fire.
Zhu Biao: "..."
He was sure that the other party was definitely showing off, showing off in a red and fruity manner, it was so shameless.
He took a deep breath first, and then slowly exhaled it: "Uh~ Is this gun fast enough to charge? How about shooting it out compared to a hand gun?"
"Your Highness, take a new iron target and try it." Zhou Zong did not judge the power of the bullet.
"Yes!" Zhu Biao agreed, and someone ran to change the target.
"Your Highness, can you ask someone to compare the reloading speed with me?" Zhou Zong made another request.
"Okay!" Zhu Biao agreed again.
Four people came over, they were experienced people, and they placed their things on the ground.
"Pretend." Zhu Biao ordered.
The five people moved at the same time. The hand of the fire gun first stuffed a piece of medicine into the gun, then punched the back of the gun with a stick on the ground, took the medicine bag and poured it into the barrel of the gun.
Zhou Zong also pounded the butt of his gun on the ground, bit open the medicine packet and poured it in...
When he closed the lid of the medicine pool and held the gun, ready to pull the trigger, the four people were still arguing.
He didn't care about the opponent. He fired it with a bang and reloaded immediately. Then he fired again with a bang and continued to reload.
When he raised his gun for the fourth time, one of the four men held up the blunderbuss, shook the fuse and lit it.
He fired first and continued to repeat the steps. The first person among the four to fire panicked. Why was he so fast?
When he was in a hurry, he forgot how much medicine he poured, but he didn't dare to continue pretending, so he poured out the medicine and refilled it.
When he lit the fire for the second round and fired, Zhou Zong's gun smoked out for the ninth time. After firing, he used a small stick to penetrate the hole in the medicine tank without firing.
The other four people are still going on, they want to go faster.
"Stop!" Zhu Biao shouted. There was no need to compete anymore. The fire gunners assigned to him were all the most skilled and they still trained every day.
Zhou Zong just got the gun today and learned how to operate it, hitting the gun four times in one go.
If there are three rows of new gun shooters, the enemy can be beaten into a sieve.
He went over to look at the target, and the misses were not counted. Someone looked for the projectiles. There were depth marks on the iron target, and the new gun was deeper than the hand gun.
Six shots from the new gun hit the target and three missed, while one shot from the hand gun hit the target. This was already very accurate.
A group of people looking for projectiles finally found the target. Someone was standing at the position where the projectiles missed the target. The positions of the four gunmen were at different distances, so there was a problem with the launch angle.
It was about fifty to seventy steps, and the three projectiles of the new gun were between one hundred and ten steps to one hundred and forty steps.
Because the barrel is long and the gunpowder is different, the purity and proportion of the gunpowder are critical, and the perfect shape of the projectile also affects the range.
This is not even a mini bomb! If Zhu Wentian pulled out the rifling and replaced it with Mini bullets...
Of course, current fire guns do not use Trojans. With the addition of Trojans, the sealing is better and the distance is also very far.
The technology of both sides is not perfect. Under this premise, the flintlock gun is stronger than the handgun.
Everyone present in the Prince's Mansion looked at Zhou Zong intently, seeing that he was holding a blunderbuss that was different from the hand blunderbuss and did not require ignition.
"If I had known they could imitate it like this, I would have given them guns."
The prince told Zhou Zong's previous thoughts. Yes, he was not good enough to imitate it completely, so he had to make something like this.
Zhu Taiyi looked around and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, there are things that experts are not good at. At least he can't do fire pleats."
"Get out of here!" The prince raised his leg and kicked him again. Zhu Taiyi was kicked on the buttocks and rolled on the spot.
He couldn't even hide. If the prince missed his kick and fell again, his head would fall off.
"Ren Zhou, you take the money, settle them down, and bring ten people to protect them. I'll go find my father. Come here and follow me."
Zhu Biao excitedly gave instructions to Zhou Zong and called Zhu Taiyi.
Zhu Taiyi followed the prince into the palace, carrying a gun and an ammunition box.
He is happy, His Royal Highness is happy, Ming Dynasty has a new firearm, the reloading speed is four times that of the original, and the shooting distance is doubled.
At the same time, I am not afraid of wind and rain. There is light rain falling in the sky, and it will hit me without fail.
When the prince entered the palace, no one checked him, and he did not go directly to his father, the emperor, but to his mother. The matter of the new gun was discussed with the family first.
"My son is here. Are you in class today?" Queen Ma smiled broadly when she saw her eldest son arriving.
"Mom, call dad here, something big is going on." Zhu Biao motioned to Mrs. Zhu to bring something to the table.
Zhu Taiyi is kneeling at the moment! Bow to the Queen, stand up and put things away.
"Is Zhihe getting used to living in the village?" Queen Ma said Zhu Taiyi's name.
Zhu Taiyi gave him the surname Zhu, the given name Lu, and the courtesy name Zhihe.
He was an orphan. Zhu Yuanzhang met him on the way to the war. He was only five years old at the time and raised him. Now he is used by the prince.
The other three are the same, they are all married and have children, and they are loyal to the prince, otherwise why would they be always naughty!
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang was half-hearted while watching the cooking in Xiaqiu Village.
"If we go back to the Queen, we will eat well and live well there, but we still want to be with His Highness." Zhu Taiyi answered with a bow.
"I'm just helping the prince in Xiaqiu Village, and everyone is here?" Queen Ma asked the palace maid to pour Zhu Taiyi a cup of tea.
"Thirty-two people, I can't tell which one is an expert. I think they are very powerful, but I know they were taught by an expert."
Zhu Taiyi looked sad. He carefully observed each of the thirty-two people.
Oh, that fool doesn't need to look, he knows all day long that hey, if you eat more, you will have strength.
Sometimes I live in a mountain temple, sometimes in a sacrificial hall, and sometimes I go to the river to sleep and catch a few small fish.
"Perhaps I feel it's not the right time yet." Empress Ma couldn't help but feel disappointed. She wanted to see an expert, so it would be best to accept the official position offered by Chongba.
As long as the other party shows some talents, it is not an exaggeration to be a political advisor. How much money has he made for Ming Dynasty? How many people have been saved?
"Mom, actually there are things that even masters don't know how to do." Zhu Biao, who was usually very polite, was in a good mood today and looked at Taiyi Zhu and said to his mother.
"It's normal for people not to know something! Biao'er, do you know what he doesn't know?"
Queen Ma wondered, did the eldest son test it out?
"He doesn't know how to make fire pleats. Here's the thing..." Zhu Biao pointed to the gun and ammunition on the table.
The more Queen Ma listened, the more surprised she became, and then she slapped her son: "My son is asking for a beating. Is this gun really like this? Is it fast and far?"
"I personally watched Zhou Sheren compare with others. If the firearms hand of our Ming army were replaced with new muskets, the enemy's expression would change upon hearing this."
Zhu Biao nodded vigorously. The thing in front of him was too scary. How did he come up with it? Use flint to light the fire.
"It's because we gave it too late. If we didn't give it, people wouldn't dare to make it. Making firearms privately would be a crime that would destroy the family. If we give you the blunderbuss, you'll have peace of mind."
Queen Ma thought it through, and the master would have known it long ago, but he just didn't do it.
