Zhu Qizhu went into the mountain this time, actually not to see the rabbit, he came to see the musket because Ai Tiezhu sent someone to notify him that the musket had been made.

He just took Fan Xinyi and Ning Xiu'er over by the way, fed the rabbit, and waited for Ai Tiezhu to prepare the gun test, and he had to go there.

By the way, he has been packing the coal mine and iron ore for several months, and the iron ingots he refined have accumulated into mountains. Why did he make the musket now?

The reason is very simple, because he can't use muskets at this moment, or he dare not use muskets.

Just kidding, when the musket sounded, that was a big deal. It was just telling the court that someone was going to rebel!

Nowadays, cold weapons are actually quite easy to make. For example, the guards of wealthy families and the yamen runners in the yamen are equipped with cold weapons, and these people may become refugees.

Therefore, it is not surprising that refugees have cold weapons in their hands, and the court will not make a fuss.

However, if a refugee suddenly takes out a musket and shoots it at someone, it will be a bad thing.

Muskets, can ordinary people have that?

Is the Ming army not very equipped? Is it good?

In particular, after the three major wars of Wanli, the Ming army's muskets and artillery were seriously damaged. In addition, the court was seriously corruption, and the Ministry of Works had no money to build muskets at all, so the border army almost had no muskets in their hands at this moment. You refugee suddenly took out muskets. What's the situation?

It must be someone who built a private musket and was preparing to gather a group to rebel!

Therefore, even if the musket is made, the red utensils will not dare to be used outside.

So, he simply asked Ai Tiezhu to build all the cold weapons of a thousand people and then make all his efforts to build muskets.

What do muskets look like these days?

Zhu Qizhe left the two little girls in the villa, took Ning Choudan and Zhao Zhengdao and his son, and followed the people sent by Ai Tiezhu and walked directly towards Ai Jiafang.

Aijiafang is not far from Lijiatun. You will arrive when you start from Lijiatun and cross two more mountains to the northwest.

This is also a valley, but the size is incomparable to the valley where Lijiatun is located. There is not even much land here, because there are not many flat lands in the valley, and more than a hundred blacksmiths were crowded, and there was no place to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The entire valley is filled with more than a hundred yards, lined up in two rows, and a wide stream in the middle.

Some time ago, there were constant jinglings and pounding sounds, and the valley was like hail, with a very noisy sound.

At this time, the whole valley was extremely quiet, and there was no sound of wind and fire.

Because, the weapons of thousands of new recruits have been built, and the next step is to create something, we have to wait for the little prince to speak.

Now, the little prince finally arrived, and the blacksmiths brought their family with them to welcome him.

Ai Tiezhu and several military craftsmen welcomed the little prince and his party into his large yard, then quickly picked up a musket from the square table in the middle of the yard and handed it to the red vessel like a treasure.

Zhu Qizhe looked at the musket in his hand and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

No wonder this thing cannot play a decisive role in the battlefield. This is just a rough iron pipe with it!

How powerful can this thing be?

He looked carefully for a while and couldn't help asking, "Iron Pillar, are the gunpowder and bullets ready?"

Ai Tiezhu quickly pointed to the three porcelain jars on the table and said, "It's ready, it's ready, it's right there."

Be ready, then give it a try.

Zhu Qizhu walked to the table, opened the lids of three porcelain jars, and was about to load ammunition in the pipes with his own hands. However, Ai Tiezhu grabbed the musket and said diligently: "Prince, how can you do such dirty work? I'll do it."

After saying that, he skillfully picked up a lead wire and stuffed it into the small hole behind the musket, quickly picked up the small spoon in the gunpowder jar, poured a few spoons of gunpowder into the barrel, and then stabbed it hard into the barrel with a long iron rod.

Damn, this stupid guy!

Can't I let it play?

Zhu Qizhi looked at his empty hands, then looked at Ai Tiezhu who was having fun, and really wanted to kick him.

Soon, the gunpowder was pounded, and Ai Tiezhu quickly took a bullet and stuffed it into the barrel, then picked up another iron rod and stabbed the bullet in hard.

I was so dizzy, it was too troublesome to load ammunition. Ai Tiezhu's movements were already quite quick, and the time spent in the first and second periods was at least more than one minute.

It is so troublesome to load ammunition. How much use can this kind of musket be when fighting between the two armies?

Zhu Qizhe shook his head slightly, then reached out and prepared to take the musket loaded with ammunition and try it in person.

Unexpectedly, before his hand could be reached, Ai Tiezhu hugged the musket into his arms, bulging his eyes and said, "Prince, I'll put it on."

Damn, you fool, you deserve a beating, right?

Zhu Qizhe said anxiously: "Tiezhu, take it over, you are so shocking, always robbing me!"

Unexpectedly, Ai Tiezhu actually shook his head with a musket in his arms and said, "Prince, it's too dangerous, I'll do it."

Danger?

Damn, I won’t be able to play with this thing, nor will I shoot myself with a musket, what’s the danger?

Zhu Qizhe said a little annoyed: "What's the danger? Hurry up, give it to me."

Ai Tiezhu still held the musket and shook his head repeatedly, "Prince, you really can't try it. It's really dangerous. This thing is easy to explode, and you might get blinded if you do it."

ah!

Is this something so dangerous?

Then come on, I won't play anymore.

Zhu Qizhi subconsciously took a few steps back when he heard this, and then said nervously: "Okay, you can shoot me a shot."

Upon hearing this, Ai Tiezhu carefully put down the musket and aimed it at the large wooden stake that had been erected in the corner of the yard. Then he gritted his teeth and said to the military craftsman beside him: "Light up."

Hearing this, the military craftsman quickly took out the fire cube, blew it a few times, and then carefully lit the lead.

With a "bang", a burst of white smoke came out, and the yard was suddenly like a firecracker, full of gunpowder.

Fortunately, it didn't explode.

Zhu Qizhu walked quickly to the wooden stake and looked at it, his face suddenly looked disappointed.

The power of this musket is too poor, and the bullet is embedded about half of the wooden stakes, and half is left outside.

This power is probably not even enough to penetrate leather armor!

No wonder, the legendary masters are not afraid of muskets, and they can grab a bullet. With such powerful muskets, masters with quick eyes and quick hands can really grab the bullets.

Alas, this kind of musket is not very useful!

To be honest, it is better to build crossbow arrows than to build crossbow arrows, because crossbow arrows are faster to install arrows and have greater lethality, and will not hurt your own people.

Zhu Qizhu stared at the bullet embedded in the wooden stake and fell into deep thought.

This kind of musket is not good, so you must find a way to design a more powerful musket.

Question, he is not a mechanical professional, he is not familiar with this thing!

How to do it?

He thought about it hard, recalling it.

Finally, his eyes lit up and he raised his hand and said, "Hurry up, pick up the four treasures of the study."

Ai Tiezhu does not have this thing because he is illiterate at all.

Fortunately, these blacksmiths also studied and dreamed of imperial examinations.

Soon, a gentleman who was not as elegant as a blacksmith brought his four treasures of his study.

Zhuqiuzhao picked up the brush directly, dipped it in some air-dried ink, and painted it on the paper.

After roughly drawing the appearance of the bullet, he explained in detail: "Iron pillar, you see, bullets, we have to make this. In front, there is a bullet-like bullet like a pointed cone, and behind it is a shell that is rushed out of copper skin. Gunpowder can be installed in advance, and lead wires can be installed in advance. In this way, we will save time to load ammunition. The bullet with a pointed cone is much more lethal than a round bullet. Moreover, there is no need to worry about blowing up the chamber, because the shell has no gaps and will basically not explode. We can use it repeatedly."

Well.

Ai Tiezhu looked at it with shock for a while, then touched the back of his head and asked, "Prince, is this bullet also stuffed into the front of the barrel? No! The shell behind is larger than the bullet in front. If the gap between the barrel and the bullet is too large, it will not be shot far, and the bullet will also float."

Is this guy quite experienced?

Zhu Qizhe nodded, quickly drew a rear structure diagram of the bolt and flintlock rifle, and then explained in detail: "This bullet is stuffed from the back of the barrel through this bolt. Look, just like this, first plug the bullet into the bolt, then plug the hole into the bolt, then push it forward, let the bullet enter the barrel, then wrap the lead up, then pull it down, let the flint fall down, smash the spark, ignite the lead, and ignite the lead, and the bullet is shot out."

Ai Tiezhu looked at it with shock for a while, then gave a thumbs up and praised: "Prince, you are so amazing, you can think of this thing!"
