Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 177 True Chapter 177 Arms Display (the number of chapters is always wrong)
"Can't the three-eyed fire gun penetrate Master Yang's eyes?" Zhu Di said.

Although he didn't show anything on his face, he started to murmur in his heart, thinking that Yang Xian's tone was too loud.

You must know that the three-eyed firegun is now the ace firearm in the army.

"Let's go, let's take you two to see the latest rifles developed by the military factory."

Yang Xian smiled and did not explain.

Yang Xian threw aside the huge fire stick in his hand and took Zhu Di and Xu Da directly to the shooting range to check and accept the research results of these days.

This is produced by the system.

Made in Yangzhou Military Factory, it was the first flintlock gun of the Ming Dynasty.

It is also the world's first flintlock gun.

In the center of the shooting range, there was a long wooden box, which contained the newly developed flintlock gun.

Yang Xian named it Hongwu Rifle.

Yang Xian stepped forward, opened the lid of the wooden box, picked up a three-foot-long Hongwu rifle from inside, and looked at it carefully in his hand.

It has a straight black barrel, a reddish-brown hardwood stock, a front sight, a rear sight, a trigger and a faucet. In appearance, it looks very much like the modern rifles of later generations.

Zhu Di, who originally thought Yang Xian was bragging, saw the Hongwu rifle, and his eyes immediately glowed with blazing light.

He even swallowed his saliva inadvertently. Zhu Di's reaction when he saw the Hongwu rifle was even more exaggerated than when he saw the naked beauty.

After hearing the sound, Yang Xian turned to look at Zhu Di, and both of them smiled.

It's just that Zhu Di's smile was a little embarrassed.

"Your Highness, Fourth Prince, do you want to take a look?" Yang Xian smiled and handed over the Hongwu rifle in his hand.

Zhu Di wiped his hands on his body first, and then took it and fumbled it carefully. From his obsessed look, it can be seen that this guy is indeed a firearms fanatic.

"Wei Guogong, do you want to take a look too?"

As Yang Xian spoke, he took out another Hongwu rifle from the wooden box and gave it to Xu Da, who was already greedy.

Not to mention, the expressions of these two people looking at Hongwu rifles are somewhat similar. No wonder Yuan Shikong can become Weng's son-in-law.

Now, it's hard to say.

Zhu Di rubbed the Hongwu rifle in his hand affectionately, raised his head and said, "This appearance is indeed impeccable."

Does he still need to say this? Compared with this one, Daming's fire blunderbuss is simply a fire stick and cannot be called a gun at all.

"I just don't know how powerful it is?" Xu Da then asked.

power?

Yang Xian smiled. No matter how you look at it, the flintlock gun can crush the fire door gun.

"Then let me give you two a demonstration?"

As he spoke, Yang Xian also picked up a Hongwu rifle and began to load it. He first poured the primer into the primer pot and closed the lid of the primer pot.Then put in the gunpowder, compact it with the bars, stuff it with pieces of cloth, then put in the projectiles and compact it again.

"Ready, you two step aside a little." Yang Xian said after completing the above steps.

"Are you ready? Master Yang, where is the fire?" Zhu Di asked doubtfully.

You must know that although Zhu Di is a prince, he is a real firearms expert and can skillfully use fire guns.

Why was Yang Xian's preparation so fast?

There are obviously a few steps missing.

You must know that after the firecracker is loaded, a fuse must be inserted into the fire door, and a soldier must be arranged behind him to prepare ignition tools to specifically light the fuse.

That's why Yang Xian was ridiculing him before, saying that he needs two eyes and four hands to be able to play the fire gun successfully.The matchlock gun that later evolved solved this problem.

The match rope is usually soaked in potassium nitrate solution in advance and burns about 10 centimeters per hour. It is pre-lit before the battle. After the match rope is loaded, the match rope can play a role in ignition.

In this way, one person can complete the entire loading and shooting process.

Yang Xian directly skipped the matchlock stage and directly brought Daming firearms to the field of flintlock guns.

Because when the matchlock gun is fired, the explosive gas will blow away the matchlock, so it must be re-lit and fixed every time a shot is fired.

Therefore, compared with the matchlock gun, the flintlock gun can reduce the steps of lighting the matchlock and fixing the matchlock, and each shot can save about one-fifth of the time.

Not to mention the fire gun comparison with the fire door gun.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is one heaven and one underground.

Yang Xian turned to look at Zhu Di and said with a smile: "The Hongwu rifle I developed does not require anyone to ignite it."

"How do you ignite the gunpowder in the barrel and fire the bullet without igniting it?" Xu Da on the side also asked.

What Yang Xian said was completely beyond their inherent understanding of firearms.

Firearms How can they be called firearms if they don't ignite?

"You two will know it soon if you two watch." Yang Xian said, raising the Hongwu rifle in his hand, turning around and aiming at the straw man in the distance.

After taking aim briefly, he pulled the trigger in his hand.

The moment the trigger was pulled, the sparks generated by the hammer anvil of the Hongwu rifle striking the flint instantly ignited the gunpowder.

boom!
Just heard a loud gunshot.

The straw man a hundred steps away fell to the ground!

The sudden gunshots startled Zhu Di and Xu Da. Xu Da was okay and remained calm in the face of danger. At this time, Zhu Di had not really experienced the baptism of war and was really shocked.

After half an hour.

Zhu Di and Xu Da looked at the straw man who fell to the ground in the distance, with extremely shocked expressions on their faces.

Are there really firearms in this world that don’t require ignition? !

They subconsciously looked at the Hongwu rifle in their hands. Soon, their shocked eyes turned into joy, and then fanaticism.

"Master Yang, how did you do this?" Zhu Di couldn't help but ask.

Yang Xian pointed to the flint part of the Hongwu rifle and said, "Use the anvil to strike the flint to generate sparks to ignite the gunpowder."

Xu Da and Zhu Di followed the position pointed by Yang Xian and looked at the Hongwu rifle in their hands, with a look of surprise on their faces.

This is simply genius design.

In this way, one person can cause damage with one shot.

Not only that, Xu Da and Zhu Di also learned more information from Yang Xian's shot just now, that is, this Hongwu rifle is more powerful than the firecrackers currently equipped in the army in terms of range, accuracy, and power. too much.

If two armies confront each other.

One side is equipped with Hongwu rifles, and the other side is still equipped with these traditional firecrackers.

Then the result will be a crushing battle without any suspense.

Another biggest reason why firecrackers did not completely replace archers in the past was that the process from loading to firing was too slow.

Now, the Hongwu rifle invented by Yang Xian can be said to have greatly solved this problem.

Although it is still not as fast as a bow and arrow, it is much faster than before. Considering the range and power, it can completely replace the traditional bow and arrow.
