Chapter 234: The Qing version of the burst fire gun
The night of Nanchang City was terrifyingly dark. The only light was the dim candlelight shining in Tengwang Pavilion. When Oboi arrived in Nanchang City, he had issued a curfew order. After dark, no one was allowed to go out to the streets except the soldiers on patrol, nor were they allowed to light the lights, otherwise they would be killed. The full moon shone brightly, and the figures of the patrol soldiers on the long street were dragged to death.
In the lonely inn, dozens of Qing soldiers lazily leaned against the wall with their spears laid on the wall. It was getting dark, and the night before dawn seemed even darker. Suddenly, a fire was lit up in the stables in the backyard of the inn. The waiter who was vigilant screamed in the store first and woke up the dozen patrol patrols in front of the inn. The Qing soldiers were completely sleepy and rushed into the inn with big swords and spears, running towards the backyard. Then several banging muskets sounded in the inn. More and more soldiers patrolling around ran in. The Dutch spoke Chinese in Chinese and shouted: "Someone snatched the muskets, and some snatched the muskets...
The President, who was in charge of guarding the inn, realized that this was not a simple fire. He called people to put out the fire and ordered the inn to be blocked. However, it was too late. At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves at the back door of the inn. More than a dozen people dressed in Qing soldiers were galloping on horseback and ran along the long street, quickly towards the city gate.
The city gate of Xicheng had just opened, and several Qing soldiers in charge of the city gate were still rubbing their sleepy eyes. A group of knights in the distance were already rushing towards the city gate. The city gate leader was shocked and quickly opened his eyes to look at it. It was so dark that it could not be seen clearly, but the city gate leader still saw the Qing soldiers' jackets on the knights. He grinned, waved his hand, and signaled the soldiers on both sides of the city gate to relax: "It's his own people, I'm afraid there is something urgent to do."
The soldiers guarding the city smiled and took back their weapons. Yes, there were no enemies in and outside the city.
When more than a dozen knights crossed the door hole, the city gate leader shouted at the knight: "What are you doing in a hurry, brothers? Take it easy and fall off the horse carefully."
The knights rushed out of the city gate quickly, and the gated people on both sides laughed. At this time, a clear horse hooves came from behind them. The city gate leader couldn't help but frowned. What's wrong today? So many people left the city early in the morning.
The second team of Qing soldiers left the city, with more than 100 people, all riding horses and quickly crossing the door hole. One of the back team strangled the total number of Qing soldiers, and raised a whip to the city gate leader, asked, "Have anyone left the city just now?"
The city gate leader hurriedly called out: "Sir, some are more than a dozen knights in a hurry."
The general shouted angrily: "Why don't you stop them?"
The city gate leader said with a grievance: "Honey... the city gate, the group of people just now were also dressed as Qing soldiers, so why did he use to stop him?
Without waiting for the city gate leader to explain, the whip had already sucked his ground door. A dark red blood was printed on his cheek. He took the whip back. He was also anxious. He was ordered to protect the mission safely. Now there was a fire in the inn. Several members of the Dutch mission were killed. All the Russian missions were missing. Even the captured land was fired and even the fire guns disappeared. No need to ask. This must have been stolen by the Russians. Then he fled for fear of crime. If he could not recover the Russians, with his character, Oboi. Is he still alive?
"I tell you that the place where you let go is stealing treasures and murdered several masters and honored prisoners of the central hall. If you want to survive, go quickly to inform the battalions and let them go out of the city to pursue. One step slower, you will be able to die without a burial place." Before he died, he still had to pull the back of the horse and quickly left the city.
The city gate leader took a breath. This was a matter of losing his head. He didn't have time to curse and quickly ordered a few soldiers to continue defending the city. He hurried to the battalions to report the news.
For a time, the city was full of chaos and chaos. Thousands of knights pulled out of the city and blocked the main roads and docks in the city. This vicious incident can only be described in the four words sensational. The dignified national envoy maliciously raided other envoys for a sample of a musket and fled overnight. The officials of Nanchang Prefecture and even Jiangxi Province could not help but look at him. He drove the prefectures to investigate and escaped with the Russian envoys.
When Oboi heard this news, he was furious. He killed several guards and soldiers in a row. He sat in the hall every day to inquire about the arrest. You must know that the Qing army retreated one after another. It took a lot of effort to get the fire. The only remaining sample of the Qing Dynasty. Finally, the Dutch patted his chest and promised to imitate it. He gave Oboi a little dawn. However, such a thing happened. Not only did it insult the national body, he also lost the opportunity to imitate it.
Oboi took the time to visit Kotler Kotler, the Dutch delegation representative, was hit by lead in the arm. Fortunately, he did not hurt his muscles and bones. The accompanying doctor gave him a simple bandage. Kotler was more worried about the case of the musket being seized. The continuous firearm technique means a military change. If it falls into the hands of the Russians, the harm will be self-evident. Just as Oboi and Kotler sighed, the news finally came. The Russian delegation caught it.
It turned out that after the Russians fled out of the city, they got rid of their backs.
But they soon encountered trouble again. They soon discovered that the eastern population was in the empty fields of Russia. It was very easy to hide. However, there were almost villages and markets everywhere, with traffic and horses everywhere. The government was extremely strict. Passes were set up after walking dozens of miles. They had to show their guidance to pass. The Russians had no choice but to quietly turn back to Nanchang City and lurked. After the stakes passed a little, they hurried to the Ganjiang River to rent a boat to escape. At this time, they met the Qing soldiers who were searching. Seeing their high noses and blue eyes, they immediately locked them up.
After receiving the news, Oboi and Kotler were relieved and confiscated the fire of fire guns. They would start a trial of this group of Russian robbers. If it were someone else, they would only beat and expel these envoys from the country. But Oboi was different. His murderous intent surged up again. How could Oboi let them go if he dared to make trouble on the head of Tai Sui?
After the noisy agency, more than a dozen Russian escorts were killed. That's not all. Oboi beat the Russian envoy, and someone cut off his ears and nose, warning the Russian envoy to go back and never enter the border of the Qing Dynasty.
The Russian envoy was tortured to death and was sent back to Russia by carriage. But what Oboi did not expect was that a team of Cossack cavalry would invade Mongolia a year later under the leadership of this envoy.
The sample was lost and recovered, and Kotler even treated him as a treasure. He quickly asked several craftsmen who accompanied him to dismantle and study it, and drew imitation drawings, preparing to start imitation after returning to Beijing.
There are various advanced firearms from the Southern Ming Dynasty circulating in Beijing. They all say that the Ming Dynasty won sharply with its sharp weapons. This statement is widely circulated, and some Manchus talked about how sharp the Ming arms are, as if the heaven and earth would change color when the firearms came out. In fact, this statement is in line with Manchus' self-esteem. When Manchus entered the pass, he was so angry that he could not defeat him. But now he was trying to find a piece of tofu to kill him. If it weren't for the firearms, Manchus really wanted to find a piece of tofu to kill him. Therefore, Manchus looked envious whenever he mentioned the firearms, but once he talked about the Ming army, he looked contemptuous. Aren's southern barbarians just relying on the sharp firearms? What's this? He has a kind of stooping with us.
Kangxi also felt the infinite benefits of firearms under the influence of this public opinion. As soon as the Dutch mission arrived, Kangxi saw the superb craftsmanship skills of the Dutch. As soon as he hit it off, Kangxi, who was only fourteen years old, immediately had the idea of a new policy. At this time, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's illness finally recovered. Kangxi's mood improved, and attracted Sony and other important officials to discuss matters. Most of the attitudes shown by the court officials were dissatisfied with Kangxi's so-called new policy. This was not because they did not.
Realizing the benefits of the new policy, he believed that the young emperor was too young and that the so-called new policy was just the product of a whim. Sony and others did not support or object, but Kangxi became very excited and quickly issued an order to build a manufacturing bureau in Jiangnan, Tianjin, outside the pass, and appoint officials from the manufacturing bureau to open the sea to build a dock to build a warship. Due to the Dutch craftsmen, these things were very easy to handle. In one or two months, the manufacturing bureau and the dock were put into use.
At this moment, a man named Dai Zi surfaced and presented his new firearm - the continuous bead gun, through the introduction of Prince Kang.
Dai Zi, a native of Qiantang, Zhejiang. He lived in Yangzhou. Dai Zi was knowledgeable and capable, well-versed in astronomy, calendar, rivers and canals, poetry and paintings, historical records, etc. He was a famous machine and weapon manufacturer. He was born in a family of officials and was very intelligent since childhood. Under the influence of his father, Dai Zi fell in love with mechanical manufacturing and once made a variety of firearms himself, one of which could hit targets a hundred steps away. The most terrifying thing is that under his development, the world's first machine gun was developed, "Lianzhu Musket", also known as "Lianzhu Musket". Its shape is very similar to a pipa and can shoot twenty consecutively.
Eight rounds of bullets. The design of this weapon is very clever. It not only solves the problem of the old-style muskets being ignited with a fuse rope and being easily affected by wind, rain and humidity, but also absorbs the advantages of Western firearms being able to shoot continuously. It is extremely convenient to use, more than 200 years earlier than the invention of the machine guns by Europeans. After Dai Zi developed the continuous firearm, he immediately presented it to Prince Kang at that time. Prince Kang did not care about this rare object at the time. It was not until the rumors of firearms in the capital that he realized the role of continuous firearms. So he went to the palace overnight and reported that the emperor would present the continuous firearms to Kangxi.
