"Load the ammunition again, so that you know that this revolving flintlock gun is actually not very good. It has shortcomings. Its biggest disadvantage is that people have to load the ammunition, and it takes longer than the flintlock gun. double."
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to reload, then looked disgusted.
He learned this from Chief Zhu Li of Xiaqiu Village. He had reported before that the Chief of Xiaqiu Village always spoke like this, which was very irritating.
He was in a good mood today and wanted to learn a lesson. Sure enough, he was very happy when he saw the expressions of the ministers.
Ministers: "..."
He saw the person loading the ammunition clicking and stuffing things in. It was so smooth!
With the runner installed alone, without the constraints of the barrel, the speed is of course faster.
Loading eight rounds of bullets is equivalent to loading two rounds of bullets in a flintlock gun, which is much faster than a handgun.
Theoretically, as long as there are enough wheels, stand in three rows, take turns firing forward, and then pass the empty wheels back, the enemy will not be able to rush up.
Not to mention a hundred steps, within fifty steps, it belongs to the death zone, bang bang bang bang continuously.
Of course, the enemy can fire arrows from a distance and be able to break the revolving flintlock gun.
Far away, there is a world of flintlock guns and modified muskets. There are weapons that are farther than bows and arrows.
"Your Majesty, firearms will be king on the battlefield in the future. A good archer will take a long time to train."
Wu Lin, the Minister of War, looked at the loading situation there and thought that the way the world fought had changed.
In the past, firearms were equally powerful, but they were not used this way. Now they were used for long-range suppression and melee sweep.
Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his hands and stopped joking: "This is technology. You can use interplanting to increase production, you can use top dressing to rotate crops, and you can eat fresh vegetables in winter.
After this battle is over, two archways will be added to Xiaqiu Village, one for literary merit and one for martial virtue. We will think about the specific names later. "
Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to build an archway for Xiaqiu Village. This thing can be named by any name. It can be divided into major categories and there can be many smaller categories.
First, let’s talk about the major categories of Wen De Wu Gong, and give names to the sub categories. Then we can give names to the sub categories. We can give many, many names.
When the time comes, there will be an archway outside the entire Xiaqiu Village, so what if it is built three miles away? It’s not like we don’t have money to repair it.
Who makes Xiaqiu Village like it? Danshu Tiejuan people say they don’t want anything, but to whom should they give them official or noble titles?
As for money...Xiaqiu Village is working hard to make good things to help Daming make money!
In the village, poultry are bred, some are raised to lay more eggs, and some are raised to grow faster.
Including pigs, bamboo rats, horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock, choose the direction.
I heard that what they are most worried about is the milk production of cows. Sheep produce normal milk, but they are smelly. Xiaqiu Village has given many ways to remove the smell, which are quite useful.
But it is not as good as milk. If the milk production of a cow is the same as that of a sheep, it will have a lot of milk to drink.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought, and everything was loaded again.
The ministers should stand in a good position, that is, stay away, because the projectiles are refracted and rebounded, and there is an iron target in front of them.
"Get ready...release!" Zhu Yuanzhang ordered again.
'Bang bang bang bang...' Smoke rose, a gun, five revolving wheels, and forty rounds of bullets fired out. No, not forty rounds, one fired thirty-nine rounds.
"What's going on?" Hu Weiyong seemed to have found the key issue. He made a mistake. Xiaqiu Village made a mistake, hahaha...
"The firing failed. I don't know what the problem is yet, but the rotation has continued. I'll check again later.
This is the advantage of the revolving flintlock gun. No matter what problem you have, just go to the next one and put aside the problem.
Normal muskets and flintlock guns will be in trouble if they fail to ignite or fire.
There is no such problem with the runner. The ammunition is loaded in the runner. Once it is transferred, it is replaced after one round. "
The person responsible for shooting explained that as for the one that failed to fire, he didn't care, just throw it away and talk about it later.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, let's turn around."
When everyone heard it, they found that there was nothing wrong with it, right! Who can guarantee that nothing goes wrong every time?
When using a fire gun, I light the gunpowder, and then when I get inside, there is no movement. What should I do?
If you touch it, it will suddenly roar again. If you don't touch it, just draw the knife! This is useless.
Switch to the rotating wheel type. If there is no movement, switch to another one. After finishing the others, throw this wheel aside.
This operation is safe and reliable, and will not delay killing the enemy at all.
Wu Lin knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, please make it as soon as possible and transport it to the front. Once a batch is made, it will be shipped."
"Wu Qing, get up quickly, Zao, come here! Send the samples and drawings to the Ministry of Industry." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.
Hu Weiyong was beside him: "..."
He realized that he had nothing to do. What was he going to say just now?
…
"Want to drink mung bean water? It doesn't cost any money, come and try it and drink it as you like."
"There are mung beans, rock sugar, honey and salt. Let's see if it's sweet. It's fine if it's not. Why eat so much sugar? It's a hot day."
"Drink some mung bean water, don't faint. The sun is so bright, are you scared?"
Throughout Nanjing, people began to deliver mung bean water with a little sugar, a little salt, and a little honey in it.
A large pot can hold three hundred bowls, and the total cost of materials and coal is five cents.
The water boiled from the mung beans itself is a little sweet. The main purpose is to add salt to it to supplement the salt loss of the body through perspiration.
The reason why we boil mung bean water is because mung beans contain high potassium, and the sodium chloride of salt is added to replenish electrolytes.
Adding sugar gives people a sense of happiness, tastes good, and allows you to drink two more sips. Honey is also an electrolyte.
"You really don't want money? Don't wait until I drink and you guys say I won't give you money." Someone stood in a place and looked at the question.
"We are from the Danqing Library in Xiaqiu Village." The person hired to deliver mung bean water provided information.
"Dongliang of the Ming Dynasty, then I drink, I believe, and I tell you, if you lie to me, I will go to the library to sue you. My child is borrowing books there to read pictures and read."
This person selectively believes and threatens, what if it is false?
"You are worrying too much. Who in Yingtian Mansion dares to pretend to be Xiaqiu Village?" The man who delivered the mung bean water responded with a smile.
"Yes! It tastes great. What if it rained for half a month? It's going to heat me up. Thanks to me, I sent my kids to the library early in the morning."
People who drank a few sips of mung bean water felt better and stood nearby chatting with others.
"If it rains continuously, the wheat will be finished. In more than a month, the wheat will be harvested, but there should be a few light rains, otherwise the wheat growers will have to water it themselves."
The person who delivered the mung bean water put the empty bamboo tube into a basin of soapy water and washed it, then moved it to the basin next to it and continued moving.
He moved four basins in succession, replaced the water in the fifth basin with fresh water, and poured it out, leaving the bamboo tube upside down with empty water.
There is a culvert next to it. When the water is poured there, it will enter the culvert. Waiting for the next rain, it will rush into the Qinhuai River.
Water is not allowed to be poured into the open ditch. If it is not raining, it will be dry. Its function is to drain rainwater. If dirty water is poured, it will have an unpleasant smell and breed mosquitoes and flies.
There is no need for the government to emphasize this time and time again. The common people abide by the rules themselves. If someone dares to disobey the rules, a group of people will come to ask for an explanation.
