086 Into the city

In the Nanyuan Schoolyard, Qi Jinzheng commanded tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shenji Camp to train in neat formations. On the grass not far away, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew commanded thousands of young and strong men in the tunwei practiced the rapid movement of horses, and a burst of golden swords and iron horses came.

This scene is truly a true army, and it makes people excited.

Taichang held up the telescope and looked in the distance for a while, and his face flushed with excitement. His Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp personal troops finally looked a little bit. It won't take long to completely suppress the officials of the court with their force, so that they dare not have any inappropriate thoughts.

He put down his telescope and was full of intoxication for a while, then he shook the reins and urged his horse to go up the school ground.

When Qi Jin, Cao Wenzhao and other generals saw that he was coming, they naturally handed over the soldiers to their subordinates to practice and quickly came forward.

After the monarch and ministers greeted each other, Taichang couldn't help but point to the muskets and cannons on the carriage behind and said excitedly: "General Qi, let me tell you a good news. The new muskets have been made, and the casting speed of the new cannon has also been greatly improved. Within half a year, the Shenji Camp will be completed in assembly."

When Qi Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited on his calm face. He walked to the carriage, picked up a new flintlock rifle and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This gun is so exquisite!"

That's of course.

Taichang couldn't wait to say, "General Qi, why don't you arrange someone to try the gun now?"

How do you stuff this bullet in?

Also, where is the lead?

Qi Jin was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked to Bi Maokang to ask for advice.

This musket was designed by Lord Bi Maokang, of course he knew it.

He listened carefully to Bi Maokang's explanation for a while, then nodded and raised his hand to call several generals wearing chain mail.

This gun test is more dangerous than a gun test. The gun can at least ignite the lead and run away, but the gun cannot ignite the lead and throw it away. Therefore, it must be protected by armor, otherwise, even if you are not satisfied with your face, you may have blood all over your body.

Several generals and schoolmen were all from the Qi family army and were naturally very familiar with muskets. Qi Jin briefly explained to them, and they quickly loaded the bullets, stuffed them into the bolt, and loaded them.

Next, the fire is left.

A general walked ten steps away with a cautious look on his face, and raised his gun to a big tree in the distance and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

However, after pulling the trigger, he immediately turned his face back. In this way, even if the gun exploded, it would be blocked by the patch under the helmet, and he would not hurt his face at all.

With a crisp "bang", the bullet almost sank into the trunk of a tree a hundred steps away.

Very good, no blow-off, and the accuracy is quite good.

Next, the remaining seven generals and schoolmen all raised their guns without hesitation and took turns to step forward, with one shot.

Taichang looked at their firm faces and couldn't help but nod.

These people were indeed brave. Even though they knew that there was danger of a blow-off in the gun test, no one frowned.

In fact, this new flintlock rifle is unlikely to explode, because the barrel is a whole and cannot be deformed at all. Moreover, the bolt, bullet and barrel junction have been carefully polished, which can be said to be tightly tucked and there is no gap.

If all this kind of gun can explode, the iron rolled guns will explode.

Sometimes technology improvements can really eliminate many inherent stubborn problems, just like the problem of musket blowing chamber. If the barrel is rolled out with thin iron, it will not be avoided. However, once it is changed to the barrel of the entire casting process, the problem of blowing chamber will basically no longer exist.

He actually expected it, but he didn't say it on purpose. He just wanted to see if these generals would be nervous when testing the gun, whether they would hesitate when shooting, and even tremble when shooting.

As a result, there was nothing unusual. These people were full of determination and did not hesitate.

As expected, all the Qi family army are fierce and fearless. Shenji Camp will definitely become an invincible army in the world in the future!

He pointed secretly, then waved his hand and said, "Try the artillery, too. This time, it brought nearly a hundred shells. Each cannon fired five rounds in a row to see if there would be any problem."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jin quickly called his skilled gunners to load ammunition. Nearly a hundred shells and dozens of skilled gunners were loaded in a short time.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Jin ordered them to arrange ten golden cannons neatly and stand in their own positions. Then he decisively ordered: "Five rounds of volleys start."

The general commanding the artillery immediately raised the flag in his hand and shouted: "Prepare."

"Kakuk", a neat loading sound, the gunners in front of the ten cannons quickly loaded the shells into the cannon body, and the captains of each running position also raised the small flags in their hands.

The general commanding the artillery carefully glanced around and saw that all the squad leader raised the prepared flag. He immediately waved the flag in his hand and shouted, "Light up, lie down."

After saying that, he rushed directly to the ground.

The gunners in each running position also pulled the trigger and quickly lay on the ground. The uniform movements were obvious at first glance.

"Boom boom boom" There was a loud noise, and ten cannons roared in unison, and a piece of grass chips suddenly rose from the grass in the distance.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but nod.

This is what a regular army should look like.

"Boom boom boom", the roar of artillery continued to sound, and five rounds of volleys were completed quickly. The explosion of the previous artillery test did not occur, and none of the ten artillery pieces were damaged. This time the artillery test was a complete success.

In fact, it is basically impossible for the phenomenon of blowing the barrel after the musket and cannons to be reloaded by the cobs, which is basically impossible to explode, because the main reason for the breeze of the musket and cannons is that the barrel or barrel is heated and deformed, while the barrel and cannons to be reloaded by the musket and cannons to be reloaded by the cobsket and cannons to be reloaded by the cobsket and cannons to be reloaded by the main bullet and cannons.

The bullet and shell are taken out after firing once, so naturally the heat will not accumulate into the barrel and barrel.

In other words, as long as the barrel and gun barrel are not fired too frequently, the barrel will basically not deform.

Of course, if it were a machine gun like later generations, it would have thousands of shots in a minute, and the barrel would definitely be hot and smoke or even red.

However, at the current rate of fire, only about five rounds a minute, and it is unlikely that the barrel and gun barrel are so hot that they smoke.

After the test shot, Taichang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, General Qi, it seems that the Shenji Camp has been trained to be decent. You can pull it out and show your face. This way, you prepare and lead the army to the Changbain in Xibianmen in the northwest corner of the outer city of the capital. I will ask the Beijing Camp to free up the camp for you."

The Shenji Camp has dressed in uniform and has been trained quite well. It looks like one of the few elites. It is time to pull them into the capital to shock those civil officials.

Moreover, Wang Gongchang is located in the southwest corner of the inner city and only one arrow from the northwest corner of the outer city. After the muskets and artillery are built, they can be sent to the Shenji Camp immediately, which is much more convenient than running back and forth for more than ten miles now.

After Taichang arranged for the Shenji Camp to enter the city, he immediately said to Cao Wenzhao, who was beside him: "Wenzhao, in the future, this Nanyuan will be the base of your Shenwu Camp. Just tell me if you have any needs."

Oh, why do you say something if you are worried about it?

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he couldn't help but look excited on his face.
