Water Margin farming to become powerful

Although he has some opinions on the Supervisory Committee, he still likes Dengzhou Musketeer Zhao Ji very much, and even sent a letter asking Xie Zhen to send him a gun.

It is said that what Zhao Ji likes most now is the standard lance equipped by the Dengzhou cavalry.

The reputation of this gun among the cavalry is not very good. Tang Long’s technical route has always been that it can be used at small steps and fast, but it can be said that it is very careless in terms of ergonomics. .

Now the cavalry lances equipped for cavalry are only designed for the convenience of shooting the guns immediately, but the bolts are made similar to the muskets of infantry, which leads to the center of gravity of the cavalry of Dengzhou cavalry. You can't see it when you are holding it on the ground, but you need a lot of strength from your wrist to pull it out when it is bumpy, and it is very difficult to hit it accurately.

What's more dangerous is that the fire door of this thing is exactly the same as the infantry gun, without any change. The design of the fire door of the Dengzhou musket is very close to the eyes, so you don't feel it when you are on the ground, but cavalrymen often don't have time to touch it carefully when they are in a hurry The gun needs to be pulled up and fired when needed. The fire door is too close to the eyes, which makes it easy for the cavalry to hold the gun and easily grab it. If one is not careful, even the eyelashes and eyebrows can be burned.

Just because of this, Tang Long has been beaten many times by Zhou Tong at the meeting with sarcasm, and Zhou Tong is Sun Xin's master, so his status is right there. Facing his lectures, Tang Long can only be submissive and dare not contradict him at all. , getting scolded every time with a blushing face, Sun Xin was even asked to comfort him afterwards.

But because the shape of the lance is more elegant, short and sharp, it is quite popular with the officials of the Song Dynasty, and the export sales are currently the highest among Dengzhou muskets.

According to Xie Zhen’s report, the Emperor Song’s favorite activity now is to shoot birds with a musket. After hunting the birds, he soaked them in Dengzhou spirits to make specimens, and then sketched the specimens.

It’s just that cavalry guns that are a little shorter and more refined than ordinary muskets have been so sought after by the nobles of the Song Dynasty. It is natural that Xie Zhen would be interested in more delicate and beautiful pistols.

After getting these news, Sun Xin was speechless. Not long after this pistol came out, almost everyone excitedly said that they wanted to order many pistols. After all the statistics, the gap reached hundreds of pistols. Sun Xin shook his head again and again. This trend of strange skills and obscenity cannot be encouraged.

In his opinion, this kind of pistol is completely unnecessary. Except for some important personnel to equip it for emergencies, this thing is not much more important than ordinary muskets for ordinary protection troops. Advantage.

Moreover, this thing is expensive, such a delicate flash cap costs nearly [-] yuan to fire six rounds of live ammunition, which is enough for half a month's salary for Sun Xin's guards.

How much tax does the Supervisory Council have to pay, how can it afford such a construction?
But since it is something that is beneficial to the morale of the army, Sun Xin can’t completely deny it. In the end, he can only approve the opening of a small production line. After the first batch of firearms are produced, they will not only be used to bribe Song Dynasty officials, but also be returned to supervisors above the relevant level. Staff are equipped with this pistol.

In order to avoid all those ignorant officers asking for it, Sun Xin set the level of this thing very hard when he announced it. Even Deng Fei's pistol was finalized for three months before receiving it.

And the more stingy Sun Xin looks here, the more expensive this little pistol newly made in Dengzhou looks.

This thing is so attractive. When Deng Fei and others received the pistol from the Kingdom of Jin, even Pan Jinlian was quite happy to play with it repeatedly. In people's eyes, it is countless times more precious than a precious sword. Deng Fei couldn't put it down after trying it.

Deng Fei was only issued fifty caps, and there was no shortage of ammunition, but after firing the caps, they were gone, so after trying more than a dozen shots, Deng Fei kept them with him, and returned to Shandong this time. Thinking about buying more flash hats in Tanglong's factory, even if he paid for it himself, he would have to equip himself with enough equipment.

After half a year of actual use, this thing has been loved by everyone. Because the ignition device is simple enough and stacked materials, everyone’s reaction is quite reliable. It is far from what Sun Xin thought. Because it can hold six ammunition, so An emissivity of more than [-]% is also sufficient.

The Dengzhou No. [-] pistol is now called the palm mine in the army. Anyone who wears this thing is definitely a high-level cadre. Although there is no case of war so far, everyone thinks that this thing must be a weapon in the army.

Although the few bullets were of no use when the army was fighting, for important officials, when they were actually assassinated, they had this thing next to them, and they could rescue themselves from the encirclement with a few shots.

At this time, Deng Fei got more confidence in his heart when he took the musket. He tucked the musket in his trouser belt, then lifted the simple knife, got out of the carriage and walked to the edge of the forest.

Although Deng Fei was careful all the way when he came here just now, he couldn't take a closer look while he was on the road.At this time, Deng Fei frowned slightly when he walked to the edge of the forest.

He saw the imprint of the horse's hooves in the forest at a glance.Deng Fei, who was born as a horse bandit, just looked at the horseshoe prints and the horse dung on the road and knew that a large group of people in Ding City were passing by here just now, and the direction they were going was not going back to the Baoding Army, but coming out of the city. .

"It's the people on patrol...it's not a wartime, so they must be going back to the city that night."

Deng Fei became a little anxious, seeing that it was getting late, these people must be back soon.

"What's the matter with the cadres of the Supervisory Committee of the Baoding Army? Didn't they say that the situation in Shandong is not so tense now? What they are doing in Hebei is also very powerful. It stands to reason that they can't even mess with this relationship clear."

"It's not possible to send a large group of people to meet them. Is it so troublesome to send two or three people to pick them up?"

Seeing the setting sun, Deng Fei became more and more impatient as he thought about it. He looked back at the direction of the carriage and said to himself: "The agreed thing can't arrive in time. If this group of officers and soldiers find that the carriage is waiting by the roadside, it will definitely cause trouble again." Something happened."

Just when he was worried, he heard a sound of horseshoes coming from far and near.

Deng Fei was startled, and hid in the grass by the roadside as a cat.

After a while, a dozen cavalrymen came from afar.

Deng Fei took a deep breath, and hid his body even lower to avoid being discovered by them.

Fortunately, his carriage was hidden relatively deep, and most of these soldiers were just patrolling too lazy to go into the woods to find it.

Just when he had this chance, he suddenly heard one of the soldiers yelling: "It looks like someone is here, come quickly!"

The muscles of Deng Fei's whole body tensed up, and he quickly grabbed the pistol at his waist.
