There is no doubt that this is a flintlock gun. Watermark advertising test. Watermark advertising test.

To be precise, this is an impact flintlock rifle born on the basis of rotary musket.

The so-called rotary musket was invented by German watchmaker John Keeffers, the world's first firearm that can be fired without ignition of a fuse.

It replaces the fuse clamp on the fuse pistol with a clock-supported steel wheel originating from the clock. Turn the hammer and tighten the clockwork; pull the trigger, the clockwork drives the rotor to rotate at high speed, rub the flint on the fire door to fire sparks and ignite gunpowder, bang, fire bullets!

The mechanism of this gun is complex, expensive and difficult to repair. It was improved by the Spaniards to this impact flintlock rifle in Zhao Hao's hands.

It canceled the set of snail-shaped clockwork steel wheels on the rotor musket, clamped a piece of flint on the jaw of the hammer, and installed a small anvil next to the fire transmission hole.

When shooting, the trigger was pulled, and the flint hit the anvil beside the fire door under the action of the reed, sparks emerged, igniting gunpowder, bang, and fire bullets!

This impact flintlock gun greatly simplifies the shooting process, improves the firing rate and shooting accuracy, and is easy to use. Moreover, compared with the reel fire firearm, the cost is greatly reduced, which is conducive to mass production.

In Zhao Hao's memory, at this time, the Frenchman Ma Han should have invented another flintlock rifle. Compared with Spanish bolts, French bolts have more reliable and more complete firing and firing launching mechanisms and insurance institutions, which are the best-performing guns of this era.

But accordingly, the structure of the French bolt is more complex, requiring more fine processing, more screws, and complex and small grooves on the resistor, which requires too high demands on the level of craftsmen and manufacturing process. The Spanish changed the French bolt in just one year to make a simple and cheap Spanish flintlock rifle.

At present, the manufacturing level of the Ming Dynasty's weapons bureau is far inferior to that of the Spaniards. It goes without saying what choice should be made under the premise that there is no essential difference between the two bolts.

Zhao Hao handed the musket to Gao Wu and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget to remind me and go back and get it to Shizhen."

Brother Gao focused on the key points. He never expected that the young master's memory was worse than himself.

Kunshan County Preparatory Warehouse.

With the company of Yuan Fang and Xing Sili, Lin Xunzhang carefully inspected the burned Jia Cang.

The result completely verified the statement of Xu Yang and others, and the suspicion of this fire was too great.

He stood in the dark warehouse with his hands behind his back, looked up at the only blackened roof, and asked quietly:

"Ten thousand stones of grain were burned into ashes, and the entire warehouse was blackened? Even the roof was fine?"

"Return to the courtyard, the county's reserve warehouse is a fire-proof granary supervised by the Ministry of Industry. The wall of the A-shaped warehouse is more than three meters high, and the roof has also been fire-proofed. If the grain inside is burned out, it will not ignite the warehouse." Xing Sili explained with a tough forehead: "Even if you accidentally catch fire, you can only burn one warehouse and will not affect other warehouses."

"Hmph, where are the charcoal ash burned from so much grain? What about the remaining grain? How could it be that there is no grain left and it is all burned?" Lin Xunzhang sneered.

"When putting out the fire, Quanqing went out and the remaining food was sent to the dike to eat." Xing Sili spread his hands and thought to himself that this was all nonsense. But he could only say as Xu Wei's instructions.

"Hahaha, what a test is not correct!" Lin Xunzhang raised his head and laughed, then asked the person who followed, "Yuan Fang, what do you think?"

"Sir, my subordinates think that Kunshan County has evidence of destruction and is suspected of covering up the truth." My personal voice said in a quiet voice: "It seems that what Xu Yang and others said may not be a lie. The Kunshan County Preparatory Warehouse Arson case is probably another hidden truth!"

"No," Lin Xunzhang smiled coldly and looked at Xing Si Li and said, "This file was published by you. If you have such an obvious doubt, don't you, the official in the punishment room, notice it at all?"

"This..." Xing Sili hurriedly explained: "The villain is just a knife catcher. Of course, we will write whatever the above commands."

"Oh? So, who is the one above putting pressure on you?" Yuan Fangyouyou asked.

"That's not." Xing Sili waved his hand quickly.

"Nonsense!" Lin Xun's eyes glared, pointed at the fire-burning Jia Cang, and asked sternly: "No one forced you. Can you just issue a document for closing without asking such obvious doubts?"

"The villain has been fighting the flood on the dike for several days, and was only called back to write documents today. How could he have to watch the scene?" Xing Sili said with a smile: "Besides, the survey site is a fast shift, and it is the errand of the Fourth Master. Isn't this the torture room responsible for the torture room?"

"Hmph, let go!" Lin Xunzhang knew that the other party was telling the truth, but he still said arrogantly: "Let someone who has the final say comes to see me immediately!"

"My master went to the neighboring county to visit Yi County Magistrate, and he will not come back for the time being." Xing Si Li said in a low voice.

"Where is the county magistrate?" Lin Xunbang had a dark face.

"Mr. He went to the mansion to urge grain..." Xing Sili smiled and said with apologies: "It's really a coincidence."

"Then who is in charge of your county now?" Lin Xunzhao said angrily.

"It's Mr. Wu who had welcomed the magistrate of the ward earlier." Xing Si Li responded in a low voice, but did not reveal Xu Wei's existence.

This was what Mr. Qingteng specifically told Xing Si Li to fear that he was too famous and scared Lin Xun.

It’s not that you are holding your bad mind and thinking about the other person.

"Or why should the villain call Mr. Wu here?" Xing Sili asked tentatively.

"Get out!" Lin Xungong waved his hand, not knowing whether he was simply asking him to get out or asking him to get out and call the writer.

Anyway, it is true that Xing Sili gets out first.

As soon as he left, Yuan Jian whispered to Lin Xun, "Sir, this is an opportunity."

"Yes." Lin Xunzhang wanted to close his beard again, hugged him again, and then touched his bare cheeks. "You mean, no one happened to get in the way?"

"Yes." Yuan Fang nodded and said, "No matter how many doubts are, there is still a need for conclusive evidence, otherwise the county's original judgment cannot be overturned."

After all, Xu Yang and his group of people arson were on fire, and this could not be changed even if it was said. How could it be without strong evidence to escape the arson offender in the arson case?

"How to find evidence?" Lin Xun's mind was not so many constitutions in his mind as a young official who had been in office for less than a year?

"I believe Xu Yang's statement. The county has no food, so I have to borrow the fire they set to write off the 16,000 stones of grain that only exists on the books."

Yuan Fang said in a deep voice: "So where did those 16,000 stones go? Zhao Shouzheng had just taken office and had a wealth of wealth. The possibility of embezzling these foods was slim."

After a meal, Yuan Fang said in a deep voice: "There is only one possibility, that is, Kunshan County does not have so much food in it at all! The so-called five grain ships come every day, I am afraid it is a trick to fool people's hearts!"

"Ah, you mean..." Lin Xunzhang's eyes lit up. "There is not so much food in those grain ships?"

"Ten ten percent are like this." Yuan Fang turned the railway firmly: "After a little calculation, you will know that they falsely reported at least one thousand stones of grain every day. Then, on the five grain ships, there is only half of the grain at most. As for what the other half is..."

He said that, he kicked the gravel all over the ground. "Is that still necessary?"

"It must be sand!" Lin Xun pressed his hands and slammed each other and said excitedly: "The gravel in the room is not what they used to put out the fire at all, but what the bag originally contained is sand!"

At that moment, Lin Xunwang realized that he had become Di Gong of the Ming Dynasty, his face flushed with excitement, and he reached an intracranial orgasm!

He waved his hand and ordered loudly: "From now on, our hospital will personally inspect every grain transported into Kunshan!"
