Chapter 405 Progress

The story of Jiang Lang going to the workshop soon reached Yu Qian's ears. In his eyes, Jiang Lang always made some inexplicable things, but it worked very well, so he hurried to the yamen of the East Factory.

Jiang Lang is now planning to go to the workshop. Just now, the eunuch in charge came to the news that the iron pipe and bullets had been made. This made Jiang Lang a little ecstatic. He really didn't expect that such a complicated thing could be made in his heart. This surprised him a little, and of course, he was more happy.

Unexpectedly, when I went out, I saw Yu Qian and said strangely: "Sir Yu, what are you planning to do in a hurry?"

Yu Qian suddenly felt a little funny. He was originally here to look for him, but now he asked himself what he was going to do, so he nodded and said, "I am planning to come to you!"

"Look for me?"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but be stunned and said strangely: "I have something to do with me!"

"Of course there's something!"

Yu Qian immediately said, then looked up and down at Jiang Lang, and said strangely: "I see where you are like this?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "I plan to go to the military battle. The things I asked them to do have now been made. I have to go and see!"

Yu Qian suddenly realized and smiled and said, "Let's go with you. I want to see what you are busy with all day. I heard that you went to the military battle a few days ago and promised a lot of money to let others get something, right?"

Yu Qian knew that it was not a strange thing. Jiang Lang smiled and said, "I have to admit that your ears are not ordinary spirits. How do you know that I went to the military battle?"

Yu Qian shook his head and smiled, "It's not just me that many people in the court know that, and many people are still worried that you are going to make some reform again. He has no foundation in his heart, but he doesn't dare to ask anymore. When I thought, I'd better ask, so I came over. By the way, what are you making? I heard that you promised a lot of money!"

"What do you think while walking?"

Jiang Lang suggested, "You see, it's really a bit unreasonable for us to stand at this door. Why don't we go to the military battle together first? I'll tell you in detail on this journey!"

Yu Qian thought about it, this was a solution, so he agreed, because it was convenient to tell Yu Qian that Jiang Lang asked someone to prepare a carriage. After getting on the carriage, he said: "I have found some old craftsmen in the military battle and asked them to make something for me!"

Yu Qian was skeptical and said, "Tell me what, I want to see what you asked someone to do, it is worth your promise of such a huge sum of money!"

Jiang Lang thought for a moment and said, "I plan to create a new musket!"

"Mulcan?"

Yu Qian couldn't help but wonder, "What is that?"

Jiang Lang suddenly understood that Yu Qian didn't know what a musket was, so he changed his words and said: "Musket, in fact, is the Fire Ordinance. The firearms we use now, especially the individual firearms, are too small and have serious lethality, so I plan to change them!"

"What did you say?"

Yu Qian had to be surprised at the moment. The imperial court used firearms to tell the time when the Ming Dynasty was founded, which made great contributions. Even not long ago, in the battle to guard the capital, the firearms played a great role. Now Jiang Lang actually said that the firearms are not powerful and have many shortcomings. However, he also knew that Jiang Lang's personality was definitely not the kind of person who talked nonsense, so he said: "Then tell me, what big problem does this firearm have!"

Jiang Lang is an expert in this regard. Of course, he also knew that if Yu Qian did not let him resolve his doubts, he would not be able to get his support. He said immediately: "First point, rain! If our firearm is rainy, there is no way to use it. Once the gunpowder is wet, there is no way to use it. It is just a decoration. I am not wrong with this!"

Yu Qian had to nod. The problem Jiang Lang mentioned was definitely a big problem. Once it was rainy, the firearm would not play any role.

Seeing Yu Qian nodding, Jiang Lang continued, "The next day, the shooting range was close and the accuracy was poor. In this regard, it was not even as good as a bow and arrow."

Yu Qian nodded again.

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "On the third day, the styles are diverse, and the difficulty of logistics supply is increased!"

Yu Qian had no choice but to nod, and when Jiang Lang was about to start again, he immediately said, "Okay, okay, stop talking, you can say it again, I guess this court's firearm is useless. I want to know now that what you asked them to make can solve the problem?"

Seeing Yu Qian showing his interest, Jiang Lang naturally would not miss this opportunity. He nodded and said, "Of course, I was a little worried at first, but now the military battle has brought out what I want. When I look at it later, if I find that there is no problem at all, then these problems should be solved. In addition to the individual firearms, I plan to transform the cannons. According to my idea, I plan to form a unit equipped with artillery, the firearms and ammunition used are all made according to the standards, so that there will be no problems in supply. And once a certain branch is broken, it will be replaced with parts and can be repaired immediately!"

When Jiang Lang said this, Yu Qian was also very interested and said, "According to what you said, wouldn't this firearm be used in rainy days? Wouldn't that be invincible?"

Jiang Lang sighed slightly in his heart. If it weren't for the limited manufacturing technology of the Ming Dynasty, he would have planned to imitate AK, a popular cheap weapon that was more popular in the original society, whether it was terrorists or third world countries. Think about it, let alone all the Ming army, even if more than 100,000 Ming army equipped AK and conquered the world, it would be more than a legend.

But this is just thinking about it. The Ming Dynasty cannot do these things now. After all, there are many problems involved. The rifles designed by itself are somewhat similar to those used in the Anti-Japanese War. Once the troops are successfully equipped, it will be enough to make the countries around the Ming Dynasty frightened, such as the thorns, high strength, etc., which is not a problem.

Seeing that Jiang Lang had no beginning, Yu Qianqian said, "What do you think? I'm asking you!"

Jiang Lang was shocked, nodded and said, "I can't say that invincible is, but if you use it on rainy days, it's not a big problem."

"good!"

Yu Qian said in a row and said with a smile: "Now I want to see what you ask people to do. If it is really like you, let alone me, even the emperor, you will be very happy. In three years, if you attack Gao Qiang, you will naturally succeed!"

Jiang Lang shook his head slightly, saying that he had been attacking Gao Qiang for three years was just an excuse, and at the same time, he also allowed Emperor Jingtai to support his reform. Unexpectedly, Yu Qian took this seriously, and he also dripped it at the moment.

Not long after, the two arrived at the military war. As soon as they got off the car, they saw the eunuch in charge and several craftsmen waiting outside the military war war yamen. They walked over and stopped their worship. After entering the military war yamen, they went straight to the main topic and asked, "Have you done everything I want?"

The old craftsman in charge of the ironwork quickly took out an iron pipe and said, "Sir, please check it out!"

When Jiang Lan saw that the iron pipe in her hand had been carved with rifled lines as he said. Although the rifle in the lead pipe later was finer than the one in the lead pipe, it could also meet his requirements. After nodding, he asked, "Is there any way to make the rifle slightly spiral shape?"

The old craftsman thought for a moment and said, "Sir, you can try it!"

"good!"

Jiang Lan slapped the table and immediately said to the eunuch in charge: "According to my prior promise, I will give another 80 taels of silver to those who are involved in the research of this iron pipe. If you can make a spiral tube, I will give another 100 taels!"

The old craftsman did not expect that Jiang Lang would keep his word and immediately said, "Thank you, Lord!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand, turned his head and looked at the man who was good at gunpowder, and asked, "Where did you do it?"

The man took out something, and he knew the bullets very well in appearance, and then explained: "According to the instructions of the master, we made this out. This was made of oil-soaked kraft paper, not afraid of water. As long as you hit the back with something, you can ignite the gunpowder inside, and then shoot this out like the fire system!"

"very good!"

Jiang Lang was very happy now, nodded, then picked up his pen and drew it as a result. This is a picture of a non-automatic rifle. Although it is a rifle that fires and loads a bullet, it is not the same as the firearms equipped by the Ming Dynasty.
