Chapter 404 Weapons

Tutuobu spent not spending much time in the capital and returned to Watshu.

In the capital, he is now very busy, and many things are starting to get busy, preparing to welcome the selected people from all over the world who are about to arrive in the capital. At the same time, Jiang Lang also plans to take advantage of this opportunity to let these people convey the meaning of the court well.

Jiang Lang began to design new firearms. Due to the limitations of technology, the improvement of artillery cannons cannot be very large, but the guns are different, and the initial manufacturing process of the musket was not very complicated. Moreover, Jiang Lang, who is very familiar with light weapons, drew out relatively advanced firearms after only one night. There are actually quite a few firearms in the Ming Dynasty today, but because of too many, this makes logistics support and training different difficulties. Jiang Lang thought about equip a general army similar to that of today, a unified model of controlled firearms, which facilitates supply and training, and is equipped with artillery to provide fire support. Moreover, some of the current situation are not impossible, but unexpectedly, Jiang Lang comes from the future society and knows everything you can know.

The next morning, Jiang Lang came to the military battle with the drawings he designed. The Ming Dynasty soldiers were responsible for the manufacturing of military weapons, and also included the firearm license.

At the arrival of Jiang Lang, officials of all sizes of the war were surprised and hurriedly came out to greet him. A large group of people were blocked at the yamen.

Jiang Lang waved his hand and left the eunuch in charge, and then let everyone go out. Then he sat on the chair, spread the rice paper in his hand on the table, and asked, "Is there any way to make this!"

The eunuch in charge took the drawing in confusion and found that there was a firearm drawn on it, and there were detailed notes. After carefully reading these things, the eunuch couldn't help but say in surprise: "Sir, is this a firearm?"

Jiang Lang slowly drank the tea in the cup and nodded, "Yes, this is a firearm. There is a difference between the firearm we use now, but I don't know if it can be made!"

The eunuch in charge was a little hesitant, and after thinking about it, he said, "I can't be sure of this either. I want to ask those craftsmen who may be more clear!"

Jiang Lang thought for a moment, stood up and said, "Okay, so you can immediately call all the craftsmen in this yamen and say that I have something to discuss, so the location is in the workshop!"

The eunuch in charge was stunned and hurriedly said, "Sir, you can't go to this workshop. There is no dirty or messy place..."

"Okay, okay!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand impatiently and said, "Just do what I said! Arrange it immediately. Now you lead the way, let's go together!"

After saying that, he sorted out his official uniform and walked outside. The eunuch in charge hurriedly sent Jiang Lang's words to the workshop, notified the craftsmen, and then led the way for Jiang Lang.

The largest workshop is not far from the yamen. You can hear the jingling sound from a distance, thick smoke rolling, and there is a smell of coal smoke in the air.

The eunuch in charge hesitated for a moment and turned around and said, "Sir, I think I'd still call the craftsmen here, so you don't have to go here!"

Jiang Lang's face darkened and said, "Why do you talk so much nonsense? I will go there as soon as I say, how can I give up halfway? Go quickly!"

The eunuch in charge had no choice but to walk forward.

This workshop has a large scale. Because of Jiang Lang's arrival, work has been temporarily stopped, and the craftsmen in the workshop are also waiting for Jiang Lang to speak. After the visit, they waited for Jiang Lang to give a lecture.

Jiang Lang was not polite either. He hung up the picture, looked at the sweaty craftsmen below and said aloud: "I invited you all today, mainly because I have an idea. I plan to select some people to be responsible for the research of firearms. The best craftsmen here are naturally very convinced, so I also believe that you can do what I have given you."

As soon as Jiang Lang said this, the craftsmen below couldn't help but look at me and I looked at you, and then one of them said timidly: "Master... sir, we are all illiterate coolies, which may disappoint you."

Jiang Lang waved his hand indifferently and said, "I don't care if you are coolies. I only know one thing. You have more experience than anyone else. What I want is yours. I have some ideas about firearms, and I hope to see if they can be made through you. If they can be made, then you are the heroes, the heroes of the Ming Dynasty. Once these firearms are equipped in batches, my Ming army will be invincible."

However, it is obvious that some craftsmen below were still a little unbelievable about Jiang Lang's words. The old man standing in front said at this time: "Sir, if you have any instructions, just leave them to us to do. We can't afford to say this!"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and asked, "This master, I want to ask, what are you mainly responsible for in this workshop?"

"Smash!"

The old craftsman hurriedly said, "The sword that I've beaten is definitely not bad!"

Perhaps Jiang Lang couldn't see any official airs on his body, and the old craftsman gradually let go.

Jiang Lang nodded, then knocked left and right, and found a round iron stick next to him. He didn't care about the dust on it, so he picked it up, and pointed at him and said, "If I want to make a hole in the stick here and penetrate it, I don't know if it's easy!"

The old craftsman smiled and said, "Sir, you mean to be the Fire Lord. We can do it here, so it's not difficult to dig holes in it!"

After waving the iron rod in his hand, Jiang Lang shook his head slightly and said, "It's not just as simple as digging a hole. I want to carve a few traces on it now. I wonder if there is any way?"

"Score!"

The old craftsman obviously didn't understand what Jiang Lang meant.

Seeing this, Jiang Lang came directly to the old craftsman, used an iron stick as a pen, and drew a look similar to the current sectional view of the gun chamber, and said, "It's like carving such marks? Is it difficult?"

The old craftsman lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned his head and discussed with the other craftsmen, then turned his head and said, "Sir, we discussed it. It seems that it can be done, but we have to try it!"

"good!"

Jiang Lang suddenly became confident that his original design was similar to a smoothbore rifle. If he could really make a rifled barrel like a barrel, then this weapon would be a great improvement. So he laughed and said, "If you can really make the one I painted, and it can be made in a wide range, each person will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"

After saying that, Jiang Lang turned his head and said to the eunuch in charge: "Let the master choose the person. Once selected, each person will first receive twenty taels of silver. After the production is made, each person will discuss eighty taels!"

How could the eunuch in charge say more? I respectfully agree now.

When the old craftsman heard this, he was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, the young man is not trying to reward the imperial court!"

Jiang Lang quickly helped the old craftsman up and said, "Master, I know you are not greedy for this, but if you really do what I said, it would be a great achievement. I feel wronged by you for this 100 taels of silver reward. You can rest assured that as long as you complete it, I will still have a heavy reward."

The old craftsman hurriedly thanked, while the other craftsmen showed a hint of envy.

Jiang Lang saw all this and asked again: "Is there anyone who makes gunpowder here?"

"have!"

Immediately someone answered, and then one person squeezed out of the crowd and said, "Sir, I and a few others are good at making gunpowder."

"very good!"

Jiang Lang nodded, then used an iron rod as a pen again to scratch a bullet-like thing on the ground, saying, "I want to make this thing now, load the gunpowder into a small bottle, and hit him with a striker, you must make sure that the gunpowder can burn!"

As he said that, he drew a barrel outside the bullet and then said, "I am working with you and this master now. The size of the one you made must be matched with them. As for the specific things, I will give them the next time. If you can make this thing, it will be a great achievement. But I have a little requirement, and the craftsmanship cannot be too complicated!"

There must be a brave man under a slight reward, and Jiang Lang naturally understands this.

The two nodded in agreement.

Jiang Lang did not delay and immediately asked someone to bring ink and paint it. The things he drew included bullets and gun barrels. Once these two things were made, the entire gun would be dressed up, which was also the most critical thing.
Chapter completed!
