Wu Zheng said to Qi Daokun angrily: "Uncle Qi has the wish of serving the country and serving the king. I am very pleased... In this way, the two nephews of the Qi family, I will stay and make it a good cultivation to live up to the good wishes of Uncle Qi today. As for Uncle Qi..."

Unexpectedly, Qi Daokun interrupted: "Does the prince dislike the young people for being old?"

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, but he still said kindly: "Uncle Qi is in his forties, how can he be said to be old?"

"That's just that I don't believe in Xiaomin's craftsmanship?"

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, but today's firearms are different from the past, and they are very different in materials and manufacturing processes..."

"Xiaomin brings a few firearms made by himself today, so please check it out."

Wu Zheng was stunned, looked at Zhang Guowei, and smiled slightly, "Then please ask uncle to practice."

Qi Daokun bowed and said, "Please wait for a moment, Rong Xiaomin will take his nephew to pick it up."

Wu Zheng nodded.

After a while, Qi Daokun brought his sons and nephews in, and the two young men were carrying a big wooden box.

Qi Daokun opened it outside the house, and the three of them took out some parts of large and small size from the box and began to assemble them.

Wu Zheng and Zhang Guowei hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but step forward to watch. This view made Wu Zheng have a strong illusion.

Thirteen gun barrels form a cylindrical shape, which looks too much like Gatlin of later generations.

Wu Zheng widened his eyes, shocked, no, he was kidding, at this time, there was a continuous machine gun? Or Gatlin, known as the harvester?

Although it is a bit rough, it looks a bit like it.

But slowly, Wu Zheng found that this was not the same thing.

The firearm in front of you is at most an elephant, and it is not the case that the body resembles the spirit.

Because there are no machine guns behind these thirteen iron pipes that should have, even firmware, or even a trigger, needless to say, even firelocks, because Wu Zheng has seen the front loading and placing the fuse.

In other words, at most, this is a coercion.

Just when Wu Zheng was hesitating, Qi Daokun had already completed the assembly. He looked up and said, "Prince, this is Xiaomin who has personally improved and built the thirteenth-union musket based on the military book. If the prince allows it, he can practice it on the spot."

Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Xiao Anzi, 50 steps away from the target."

Qi Daokun bowed and said, "Please send someone a hundred steps away to stand a thick wooden board."

Wu Zheng hesitated for a moment and said to Song An: "Do as you do."

After a while, the thick wooden boards a hundred steps away were already set up.

After Zheng Wu Zheng nodded, Qi Daokun asked the two teenagers to retreat and one of them started to operate.

He ignited the fire slit and turned a barrel with his hand in the first firing. After twelve cycles, all the thirteen barrels were shot in a cloud of thick smoke.

Wu Zheng was shocked because he saw the wood chips that were hit by the wooden boards a hundred steps away and were about to fall, which showed that the firearm had a huge lethality outside the hundred steps away.

At this time, Qi Daokun stood up and bowed, "Please check it out."

Wu Zheng resisted the shock in his heart and raised his hand and waved it.

The guards carried the wooden board over. Although Wu Zheng was sure of the degree of damage to the wooden board, at least four or five of these thirteen projectiles did not hit the wooden board, but Wu Zheng saw three holes that were pierced, which shocked Wu Zheng very much.

A distance of 100 steps can penetrate a thick wooden board. Is this still a comb?

This completely refreshed Wu Zheng's understanding of the mesh rope gun.

Wu Zheng asked, "Is this what you invented?"

Qi Daokun shook his head and said, "This is recorded in the military book. Xiaomin only made some improvements, and 90% of them were copied from the book. Report to the prince, Xiaomin also has different firearms. Can you continue to practice for the prince?"

"Accurate." Wu Zheng pursed his lips and slowly spit out a word.

Qi Daokun carefully picked up an iron lump from the wooden box, which looked like a pineapple, but it was much flattened, and the lattice outside also protruded and became more obvious.

Wu Zheng's heart moved, landmines?

However, Wu Zheng did not ask, but watched Qi Daokun greet the two teenagers and went to the place where the wooden board was just now, lifting the soil and digging a hole.

Wu Zheng was almost certain that this was a landmine.

Not long after, Qi Daokun greeted the second boy back and bowed, "Please send someone to drive away a few sheep to the place where the little people buried the firearm."

Wu Zheng was really shocked because he did not see the trip rope. Could it be that there was a non-artificially detonated trigger mine at this time?

Zhang Guowei was already excited to ask Song An to make arrangements there.

After a while, the guards rushed over a dozen sheep.

Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Do as the uncle said."

Shortly after the sheep were driven away, the expected explosion sounded "boom".

Among the soil and the flock of sheep, there were sheep, at least one, which was blown into pieces because there was a piece of minced meat that fell in the direction where Wu Zheng and the others stood, which was a leg of lamb.

Wu Zheng could no longer hold back, so he rushed forward to check out a pit as big as a washbasin, surrounded by a circle of vaguely visible black. This should have been caused by gunpowder, or the gunpowder that had not been completely burned spread out.

At least two sheep were torn apart by explosions, and two fell sideways in a radius of more than meter, which obviously could not survive.

There are also fragments of Glen iron lumps that I just saw around the pit.

Wu Zheng took a deep breath of the smell of gunpowder, turned to Qi Daokun who was rushing to come, and asked, "Is this also contained in the military books?"

Qi Daokun replied respectfully: "Yes. Xiaomin also has a firearm, but it cannot be used here."

“What is it?”

"Mine."

Wu Zheng was no longer shocked, but just asked, "It is also written in the military books?"

"Yes. It is called a mine in the military books. According to the military records, Qi Shaobao once used this mine to sank a Japanese pirate warship."

Wu Zheng never wanted to ask again, so he turned around and ran back quickly, picked up a military book and read it out quickly.

A local book was translated, and Zhang Guowei also translated it in the book Wu Zheng wrote.

Everyone was silent and waiting.

After about a stick of incense, Wu Zheng sighed and slowly sat down the chair.

He smiled wryly and said to Zhang Guowei who looked at him: "I really don't know that the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were once so powerful and brilliant. Let's put it this way, if we really use the firearms and army registered in these military books, only 100,000 people, no, 80,000 people would be enough to defeat the world. Where can the Tartars have the opportunity to enter the pass?"

Shaking the military book in his hand, Wu Zheng sighed: "The book records that the effective shooting distance of the Five Thunder God Machine used by Qi Shaobao has reached 150 steps (about 200 meters). In addition, the iron-shell mines detonated by the steel wheels, the thirteen-unit melee that I just saw, the cannon with a range of eight miles... Oh my God, with these alone, even if the Qing army attacked with cavalry, it would still be able to fight it."
