Chapter 105 - Chapter 106 New Mission

"I know you!"

Jiang Lang took a deep breath. Now that Jiang Chengzhi took out this thing, Jiang Lang felt that there was no need to hide it, so he simply said it directly. Anyway, this is a matter of time. After thinking it through, Jiang Lang continued: "This was specially made to protect the princess."

After thinking about it, Jiang Lang added: "I designed the gun and has nothing to do with others."

Although it is also sold as a gun, guns with this structure already have the advantage that other guns cannot replace in this era, that is, they are no longer affected by rainy days.

Jiang Chengzhi nodded and said, "It's true!"

When he met Jianglang a year ago, Jianglang's strange clothes were already surprised. He has not been able to investigate for a while this year. The main thing is to find out the true origin of Jianglang. However, things are obviously not going well. Wherever he can speak fluent Chinese, no one wears the same clothes as him. Even the fabric on it is not available in society now.

Last time when the Gumu Army was encircled and suppressed the Komu Army, although the main ship of the Komu Army was seized by the navy, Jiang Chengzhi forced the Jinyiwei to board the ship and controlled the main ship. At the beginning, the main purpose was to erase any traces left by Jiang Lang on the ship. During the cleaning, the Jinyiwei found the musket thrown on the ground, and at the same time, a Komu Army shot by muskets was found in the Komu Army. After the Jinyiwei handed the musket to Jiang Chengzhi, after taking a closer look, he immediately realized the value of this weapon. Moreover, the unique method of handling charges can not only prevent the musket from rainy days, but also loading it much faster.

According to the confessions left by the Komu Army, the person who used this gun was their military advisor. Afterwards, Jiang Chengzhi also knew from Chen Ying that the so-called military advisor of the Komu Army was actually Jiang Lang. So after Jiang Lang recovered from the wounds, he hurriedly called him to Fuzhou. In addition to dealing with the women who rescued them, another thing was to find out the source of the weapon from Jiang Lang. At the same time, there was another very urgent matter.

Now Jiang Lang admitted that while Jiang Chengzhi was surprised, he was also glad that for nothing else, the person who could create such a weapon was from this aspect.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Chengzhi asked again: "Can this kind of gun be made now?"

No matter what, Jiang Chengzhi is also a soldier. The first thing he considered was how to use this weapon on the battlefield in exchange for greater benefits.

“For the time being…can’t.”

Jiang Lang hesitated for a moment before saying: "There are still several major problems with this gun that have not been solved. The first is range, and the second is ammunition."

After saying that, Jiang Lang picked up the gun and said, "The range of this gun is too close. It is only suitable for defense. It is still too bare to use as a weapon. To increase the range, you can increase the length of the barrel. But even then, the accuracy is much worse, and it is not even as good as a bow and arrow."

Jiang Chengzhi nodded. Jiang Lang was right. The Ming army also equipped muskets, but they were all small. One is that it was rainy or wet weather, there was no way to use them at all, the second was that the charge was too slow, and the third was that the range was short. These three obvious defects made muskets not even comparable to bows and arrows in actual combat. Rather than using muskets as a weapon, it would not be a deterrent at that time. After all, many people have not seen such things. People now have a fear of unknown weapons that can make loud noises and hurt people.

Seeing Jiang Chengzhi nodding, Jiang Lang lowered his gun and picked up the bullet and said, "Sir, you have seen that this bullet has not been fired. The main reason is that the things inside cannot be made out in a short period of time, which means that they cannot meet the standards of use. If half of such ammunition cannot be fired on the battlefield, it will be a problem."

Jiang Chengzhi also knew about this question. Now that he heard Jiang Lang say this, he was somewhat discouraged and said, "I really didn't expect that since it can't be used, it's a pity."

Seeing Jiang Chengzhi's expression, Jiang Lang felt a little reluctant, but in Jiang Lang's mind, he believed that if the gun was built now, it was not the time. The main reason was that Wang Zhen had not been eliminated.

According to the development of history, Wang Zhen's followers collapsed after the Tumu Fort Incident and Yingzong was captured. Now there is more than a year left before that. If the gun was built on a large scale, the Tumu Fort Incident would not have happened, and Wang Zhen's followers would not have been eliminated. Although Wang Zhen's prestige and blessing in the court had nothing to do with him now, Jiang Lang also believed that history should be developed according to the natural development of history. Even later generations, he was just a bystander, witnessing history with his own eyes, rather than interfering with history.

At the same time, there is another point, that is, Jiang Lang was a soldier in the original society, and he also became an Embroidered Uniform Guard in this society. However, it does not mean that he is easy to kill. Perhaps because of his education since childhood, Jiang Lang has always believed that when a soldier takes up weapons, he is to defend the motherland. Moreover, China has always pursued a peaceful route. This has a deep-rooted impact on Jiang Lang, as a soldier.

Jiang Lang is also well aware of the history of the world. When advanced weapons such as machine guns, artillery, aircraft and other advanced weapons were put into war, the only result was that they caused a large number of casualties. Later, after the use of poison gas bombs, atomic bombs, etc., it not only caused casualties to soldiers, but also caused a large number of casualties to civilians.

And now the era I am here is still in the era of cold weapons. Everyone is just a knife or arrow. When the forces of both sides are similar, no one dares to take action easily. However, once the gun is put into use, even if it is just a rifle used in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the situation will fundamentally change. Jianglang dare not guarantee that the rulers of the Ming Dynasty would use it only to defend the country, but will definitely use it as their own capital to break the territory.

The gun is Pandora's box, and Jianglang doesn't want to open it yet.

In Jiang Chengzhi's ears, Jiang Lang said the reason, but he also knew that if the man in front of him was willing, he could definitely overcome these shortcomings, not completely impossible. Of course, he also knew that the so-called impatient and unable to eat hot tofu. Since Jiang Lang didn't want to say it, he would no longer ask, at least he didn't want to ask now. If he gets angry, it would be of no benefit to anyone. The most important point is that he also believes that one day this weapon can be equipped to the army. As for why, it is also a kind of intuition.

So he smiled slightly, wrapped the gun and bullets with cloth, and handed them to Jiang Lang, saying, "Since that's the case, there is no way to do it. I will return this thing to you. You must be careful to keep it, but don't smash it as a hidden weapon. If it falls into someone else's hands, then things will be troublesome."

Jiang Lang looked at Jiang Chengzhi with some surprise. He originally thought Jiang Chengzhi would ask about related matters again, but he didn't expect that he would just hand the thing to himself. Of course, Jiang Lang also knew who the other person he was talking about was Dongchang.

He took the weapon strangely in his heart. Jiang Lang nodded and thanked: "Thank you, sir."

Jiang Chengzhi waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be polite, but I hope you all keep this matter confidential."

He said this to Zheng Baichuan. Of course, Zheng Baichuan knew about it, so he nodded immediately and said, "Subordinately obey the order."
