"There is a photo behind this gun, and there is a photo in front of it. The machine launches and the hands are not moved. Aim at a slight slight climax, hitting a square inch, and the cylinder is long and the range is longer and the power is greater!"

Qi Jiguang introduced the bird gun in a deep voice, and then personally demonstrated it to everyone.

He first pointed the muzzle at himself, poured a fixed amount of gunpowder into the muzzle with a small pre-assembled bamboo tube. Then he compacted it with a strip of lead, and then compacted it with a strip of thread again.

Then he turned around the gun body and poured the other thin gunpowder into the bird gun fire gate. He shook it carefully. After the gunpowder entered the gun chamber through the line gate, he temporarily closed the fire gate.

The fire rope was inserted into the faucet again. Then he opened the fire door again, held the gun body with both hands, and put the butt stock on the face, aiming at the straw man a hundred steps away from three points and one line.

Finally, the trigger was pulled, the faucet pushed the fuse into the fire door, the medicine was burning, and the straw man a hundred steps away fell to the ground!

Although the rate of fire has not improved compared to the musket, it can be operated by one person, and it can be aimed at three points and one line like muskets in later generations, so the shooting accuracy is naturally greatly improved.

In addition, the barrel is slender and long, which makes it easier to gather energy, and the range is naturally twice that of a musket.

The so-called bird gun is named after this gun can shoot birds.

This is already the best firearm in the Ming Dynasty.

When the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, General Qi showed his face, caressed the bird gun in his hand, and said to Zhao Hao:

"This gun was created by the Taixi Yi people. At first, the Japanese were used by the Japanese, and the officials could not compete with them with fire guns. It was not until the 27th year of Jiajing that Zhu Zhongcheng recovered Shuangyu and seized such bird guns and those who were good at making bird guns. After the court tried it, he found that all fire weapons were pale. The Ministry of Works imitated 10,000 at a time. After it was put into the southeast, the situation of fighting against the Japanese gradually improved."

"Bird gun, so powerful!" Zhao Shizhen was already intoxicated by the beauty of that shot.

Zhao Hao was a little unconscious. After all, four hundred years later, this object had been renamed the earth gun, and it was really only used to kill birds.

Well, not compared with four hundred years later, even in Europe today, a mature flintlock rifle has been developed. It is just some artificial factors that have not become popular immediately.

What made Zhao Hao’s eyes lit up was the gunpowder used by Qi Jiguang.

He poured the gunpowder from the small bamboo tube into his palm and took it to his eyes. He saw that the gunpowder was granular, the size of sesame seeds.

"Gunpowder pelletized..." Zhao Hao let out a light whisper, and this young master missed another patent.

"I suddenly had a whim to solve the problem of loose gunpowder being easily damp and difficult to transport and store. I had a sudden idea to make the gunpowder into a whole piece. As a result, it turned out to be like this when it was broken and used. I thought this batch of gunpowder would be wasted, but unexpectedly I found that the power was much greater, and the gun chamber was easy to clean... The only problem is that it is not easy to ignite, so the fire door is still filled with gunpowder powder."

After Qi Jiguang said that, he shook his head and sighed. This was his unique secret recipe. "I didn't expect that the doctor even knew this? No wonder Mr. Zhang must have you guided me."

"Haha, understand a little bit." Zhao Hao smiled modestly, "This is similar to the principle of coal lotus roots."

"I hope to hear the details." Qi Jiguang immediately asked for advice humbly.

"Because the gap between the gunpowder particles is larger, the combustion will be more sufficient, and the power will naturally increase greatly, and the residue after combustion will naturally be less." Zhao Hao explained.

"It's true that the same as the coal lotus root." The disciples quickly took out their small notebook and wrote down this one.

Then, at Zhao Hao's request, Qi Jiguang explained how to make particulate gunpowder.

"The gunpowder is mixed with sulfhydryl, dinitrogen and three charcoal, add water and pound it into half dry with a wooden mortar, and then dry it into a medicine cake, and then mash it into a rice grain size when used."

Then, Zhao Hao whispered in his ear: "To be honest, don't use water next time."

"What should I use?" Qi Jiguang looked expectant.

‘Pit.’ Zhao Hao really wanted to tell him the best answer, but he was afraid that General Qi would tease him, so he had to give a suboptimal explanation:

“Sauce.”

"Okay, let's try it later." Qi Jiguang pointed his head and asked humbly: "I don't know what else can be improved?"

"At present, the range, power and accurate head of the bird gun are good, and the biggest problem is that the firing speed is too slow." Zhao Hao said seriously: "Of course, the seven-step shooting method that the general asked his subordinates to use is indeed a solution. But firstly, it is too training, and secondly, it occupies too much force."

"Not bad." Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly, "I don't have the confidence to promote it."

Next, Qi Jiguang demonstrated to Zhao Hao three main artillery of the Ming army, namely the Folang machine, the tiger squat cannon and the general cannon.

The Folang machine cannon is also called the mother-child cannon. It is an iron rear-mounted smooth-bore cannon. The biggest feature is that the cannon abdomen is thick and open. The pre-installed cannon is filled into the belly of the cannon and then fire it.

After taking one shot, take it out and replace it with another sub-cannon, and you can get a second shot. Therefore, as long as the sub-cannon is sufficient, the rate of fire is faster than that of the bird gun.

The biggest disadvantage is that the gap between the sub-cannon and the abdomen is large, causing gunpowder gas to leak, so the range and power are insufficient.

However, the large Folang machine weighing 700 or 800 kilograms can smash the Trojan horse a mile away under the control of Hu Shouren, and its combat effectiveness is already very impressive.

The small Folang machine weighs less than ten kilograms, and is equipped with five to nine sub-cannons equipped with shotguns, which is very suitable for firepower strikes in mobile combat.

However, for the Qi family army, the tiger squat cannon, which is also light and has a longer range and is more powerful, is a more ideal sports war partner.

When everyone saw the two-foot-long cannon fixed to the ground with large iron nails, the shotgun fired, instantly knocked down more than a dozen straw men from a mile and far away, they were shocked.

Wang Wuyang and others were frightened, but they didn't expect that there were such vicious weapons in the world...

Only Zhao Shizhen jumped excitedly and wanted to pounce on him and kiss the tiger's squat cannon.

As for the power of the general's cannon, it was even more terrifying. With one shot, it directly blew the gravel on the opposite mountain wall.

However, the cannon weighing more than 2,000 kilograms, seems only the city guard can come in handy.

If it is used in field battles, it will be a nightmare that will drag down logistics...

When he was about to demonstrate all the weapons he had prepared, Qi Jiguang looked at Zhao Hao with anticipation, waiting for him to have good suggestions.

"I have a few ideas..." Zhao Hao was shocked and his ears were buzzing, and he was still thinking, "But you have to try it to find out, otherwise it would be impossible to say it."

"Of course." Qi Jiguang said deeply: "Myong has also tinkered with some things, and they have been explored bit by bit. Before he really succeeds, he really doesn't know which idea is right."

Zhao Hao thought to himself that it was because General Qi, you are too cautious, and it just happened to be reversed by this young master.

I know which idea is correct, but I may not be able to find it out...
