Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 57 The Flintlock

It was night, the candlelight was like beans, Xun Xueer leaned her chin gently on Xu Qing's shoulder, watching Xu Qing tinkering with some odds and ends in his hands.Those odds and ends were the custom-made firearm parts. Xu Qing slowly matched them one by one. Some were a little bigger and some were smaller, but if there were fifty sets, he could find a few that fit.

"Brother Xu, what is this?" Xun Xue'er's chin didn't leave Xu Qing's shoulder when she spoke, pointing to each other, which made Xu Qing itchy.

"This is a gun. I'll tell you to use it tomorrow..." Xu Qing stopped what he was doing and patted Xun Xue'er's head.I haven't experienced big storms together, and I don't want to have a love-hate relationship between the hero and heroine, and I didn't even go through the stage of a beautiful boy, so I fell in love directly.For this woman who made love at first kiss, Xu Qing didn't cherish that kind of woman who was too easy to get, on the contrary, she liked it very much.

Falling in love with you, I will give you everything, heart, lung, liver and gallbladder, all emptied for you.Obviously love is like fire, love is like a storm, but like spring rain, quietly, quietly urges the first flower to bloom.

As for Huo.gun, the biggest card in his hand, Xu Qing did not hide it from Xun Xueer.He wasn't afraid that Xun Xueer would have ill intentions towards him, if Xun Xueer also had ill intentions, then it would be useless even if he had an atomic bomb in his hand.Xun Xueer was Xu Qing's only relative in Tang Dynasty, although it was only a skin relationship for the time being.But under Xu Qing's hard work, wouldn't the child be his mother in a few months?

Xu Qing'an enjoyed this moment of love, and then continued to assemble with the musket in his hand.This first fire.gun is a pistol. The pistol is relatively concealable and light. It can be used by Xun Xueer, and he can also hide it in his pocket.

Take a small nail and beat it carefully to nail several parts together firmly. You have to find a secret place tomorrow and put a shot in it to confirm whether it is usable.So Xu Qing didn't continue to assemble the rest, but just put a few of them together, and the rest of the crooked melons, pears, and dates would be destroyed.

This relatively primitive gun is not easy to load and ammunition, so it is generally necessary to load the ammunition in advance so that it can be used at any time.So insurance is an extremely important thing, maybe don't get angry at the waist that day, and shoot at the descendants, then the thief will be happy.However, Xun Xueer's two balls of softness rubbed against Xu Qing's back, and a certain gun began to straighten up, and it was about to go off!Xu Qing turned to look at Xun Xueer, put down the gun, and rushed over.

"Hehehe...Xue'er, why are you getting bigger here again?" Xu Qing violently stripped off those obtrusive things on Xun Xueer's body, staring at the big D in front of him.Not to mention, Xun Xueer's foundation was very good originally, but because the chest cloth was tightly pressed, the two lumps could not grow.Since being liberated and developed by Xu Qing, it has become more and more plump.

"It's all... It's all about brother Xu being kind to me..." Xun Xueer covered her shame, lowered her head, and said blushing all over her body.Although they have been an old couple for more than ten days, Xun Xueer is still very shy. This is probably the characteristic of ancient women, and Xu Qing likes this very much.

The next day, Xu Qing quietly took the gun and went out with Xun Xueer, and found a secluded place, ready to try the power of Datang's first shot.

Xun Xueer's heart was pounding as she watched Xu Qing messing around, although she didn't know what Xu Qing's black powder and iron pills were for.She only knew that this thing was awesome, because Xu Qing told her last night that no third person could know about it, and only she and Xu Qing knew about it in the entire Tang Dynasty.

I saw Xu Qing opening a cylindrical paper package, the size of the cylinder was just enough to keep it from slipping out of the gun barrel.Tear one end, but not the other end, so as to ensure that the gunpowder does not come out of the muzzle.About four grams of gunpowder was in the paper bag, and Xu Qing pushed the paper bag into the barrel of the gun with an iron wire.Then he took out another piece of cloth, which was soaked in sesame oil, and contained iron bullets. The iron bullets were coated with sesame oil, which made it easier to load the bullets, which could make loading the bullets easier and increase the range.

Load the bullet and pull the trigger to prevent the iron shot from slipping out. The trigger will be released when the gun is fired. This is the first insurance.The second insurance is that the original gun did not have it. Xu Qing added an iron tube that was a little smaller than the barrel, and inserted it into the barrel to keep a gap. It can also prevent the chamber from exploding, greatly reducing the harm caused by fire.

Of course, today is a test launch, so there is no need to do that.

Xu Qing asked Xun Xueer to stand a little further away, but Xun Xueer refused to leave, saying that she would not go far with her, so Xu Qing had no choice but to let the silly girl tightly cover her ears.

What's a good first shot?Xu Qing looked wickedly at a poor turtledove under the tree in front of him pecking at it, and smiled, letting you get the first shot in history is very honorable.Xu Qing took a deep breath and took aim:

"Oh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." a gunshot rang out from the woods, circling in the air and chirping chirping.But the person involved, no, the bird in question, Mr. or Ms. Turtledove, is calm and unhurried, pecking at the food on the ground, as if nothing else is more important than being full.

Xu Qing's face was full of black lines, Xun Xue'er covered her ears, she was very surprised: "Brother Xu, is this thunder!?" Xu Qing secretly felt uncomfortable, thinking: How can there be such a bad-eyed Lei Gong.

"It's not bad, but it didn't hit me, hehe..." Xu Qing smiled wryly.

"Brother Xu, you have to teach me this, I can't learn it..." Xun Xueer said with a blushing face.Hearing this, Xu Qing didn't comfort Xun Xue'er like before, but said with a sullen face: "Xue'er, you have to learn this thing..." Seeing Xu Qing being so serious for the first time, Xun Xueer took this thing seriously. The importance has been raised by many levels, and he nodded firmly.

Xu Qing continued to experiment several times, and determined that the shooting range of this gun is about 200 meters, but the error is very large. There is a two to three meter error within 100 meters. It is basically impossible to shoot the target by aiming. It depends on luck. .After doing this, Xu Qing assembled several other guns on the spot. Although the effect of this gun was not satisfactory, Xu Qing was still very happy. At least it can be used as a hidden weapon in close combat, and it is still a sure hit. And a hidden weapon that kills with one hit.

It's just that this kind of gun can only be used temporarily. If it goes to the battlefield in the future, it will need a more advanced musket.Such as Dresser. Gun, Minie Rifle. Gun.The range of these guns is more than 500 meters, and the accuracy is also high. The key is to load the bullets in the breech, and the bullets can be changed very quickly.It's just that there is little time now, and Xu Qing doesn't know the specific structure of that kind of gun, so he can only make a relatively simple flintlock gun for self-defense.

A total of six guns were assembled. Xu Qing tested the fire one by one, then taught Xun Xueer to reload, and fired a few shots.Xun Xueer obviously had better luck than Xu Qing, a tree that Xu Qing couldn't hit was smashed to pieces by Xun Xueer, and Xu Qing's head was full of black lines again seeing this.

But when Xu Qing wanted to go back home, there was a sound of fighting and shouting not far away.
