I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1005 Tactical Belt
One end of the copper rod is slightly thicker, about the same thickness as the muzzle of a gun. Needless to say, it is used to compact the gunpowder.

The other end is a delicate and dense brush, which is naturally used to clean up the remaining gunpowder in the barrel.

It's just a copper rod, and it's all done so delicately.

Li Tian couldn't put it down even more.

There are not only two muskets in the box, but also two bottles the size of a child's fist.

This bottle is translucent, and the outside is hollowed out and inlaid with intricate patterns of silver threads, which already looks very beautiful.

Looking inside from the translucent bottle, it can be seen.

One bottle contained high-purity gunpowder, while the other bottle contained very smooth polished marbles.

The amount of gunpowder in the two bottles can support it at most, and the two muskets fired three or five times, which is less than half of the regular ammunition of ordinary soldiers.

But Li Tian didn't care much about these.

These two flintlock guns, which can be called works of art, Li Tian regards them as treasures, and they are not enough for collection, so how can he be willing to use them.

At this time Liu Baohe took a step forward and explained to Li Tian,

"Your Majesty, these two muskets were crafted by craftsmen after countless crafts and meticulous polishing, and it took more than two months to make them.

The subordinate officer has already ordered people to test it. Its power in long-range shooting is not as good as that of the Imperial Type [-], but in close combat, its lethality is still very astonishing.

Your Majesty might as well give it a try now, if there are any deficiencies, the next official can ask someone to make improvements immediately. "

Li Tian really couldn't hold back, he just got a new toy, and if he didn't play with it, he always felt empty in his heart.

So he nodded, gently opened the two exquisite bottles, and filled them carefully.

Because the warhead and ammunition are separated for flintlock guns and matchlock guns, the gunpowder is divided into two loadings.

The front is loaded with propellant powder and projectiles, while the rear is loaded with igniting powder.

At this time, the musket has a very difficult problem to solve, that is, the airtightness of the medicine cabin.

If the cabin is not tightly sealed, after the gunpowder deflagrates, the pressure cannot be concentrated in one direction.

The thrust generated will be much worse, which will greatly affect the power and range of the musket.

But the two muskets in Li Tian's hands are not the Imperial Type I mass-produced.

His medicine compartment is tightly fitted, and there is no gap at all unless you look carefully.

It can be said that the airtightness has reached its limit.

Without the aid of modern grinding and cutting tools, they can be polished to such a degree, which shows that the craftsmen have really worked hard.

Li Tian carefully loaded the ammunition according to the loading steps of the flintlock gun he had used before.

Then he held the gun with one hand, aimed slightly, and lightly pulled the trigger.

I saw that the hammer on the gun's tail fell quickly, and a flint on the top of the hammer collided with another flint on the side of the cabin.

A faint spark flickered across the collision.

Immediately afterwards, within less than a second, sparks ignited the gunpowder in the warehouse.

Then, under the muffled sound of gunpowder deflagration, a projectile with flames shot out.

After a soft bang.

A solid wooden target more than ten meters away, which was thicker than an adult's palm, was shot through at once.

"Good guy, this power is almost as good as Sand Eagle's."

Others didn't understand what he said, but it didn't hinder them. They burst into thunderous applause.

"Your Majesty is good at marksmanship!"

"It's really accurate..."

have to say.

Although the gunpowder used in muskets of this era is far inferior to that of later generations.

But when the amount of gunpowder loaded is enough, the power of the explosion is not weaker than those famous muskets of later generations.

Because the pistols of later generations have to adapt to various occasions, the power of bullets and firearms is compressed.

To be able to achieve such an effect, apart from those large-caliber revolvers, I am afraid that there are several types that can be compared. Li Tian is now holding this one.

Solid wood with a thickness of several inches can be penetrated. If it hits a human body and makes a hole, it is still a piece of cake.

Although it may not be possible to hit a top expert, but if a sudden attack is launched, it may not be impossible to fight.

It can be said that with this thing, Li Tian's confidence to walk the world has increased a bit.

This trip to Nanjing is dangerous and unpredictable. It can be said that Li Tianzheng needs such two treasures for self-defense.

"Liu Baohe, I like these two guns very much, and you all did a good job.

Tell me, what rewards do you want, I am happy today, and I will definitely satisfy you! "

Liu Baohe said very modestly,
"Your Majesty has praised you, these are what the ministers should do, rewards are fine, as long as His Majesty likes it, don't blame us for our rough craftsmanship, we are already very satisfied."

Li Tian laughed,
"You bastard, it's been a while since I saw you, and you've learned how to flatter Wang Fu and the others.

Since you don't say anything, and what I say can't be ignored, then I will decide the reward for you. "

"Liu Baohe listened to the order that all craftsmen in the arsenal will have their salaries raised by one level.

The craftsmen responsible for making these two guns will each be rewarded with 200 taels of silver... "

Although they said they don't want rewards, when the rewards were handed out, they were all still happy from ear to ear.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness..."

Li Tian caressed the two muskets, the more he looked at them the more he liked them, and he wished he could keep them by his side all the time.

Turning around, he said to the accompanying eunuch,

"Turn around and find someone to order me a belt that can easily carry these two guns. Remember to leave room for the ammunition!"

As he spoke, he was afraid that people would not understand what he wanted.

Fortunately, someone brought a pen and paper over on the spot, and started to draw directly.

Although it is not the first time that Liu Baohe and others have seen Li Tian design drawings on the spot.

But every time I see it, Li Tian still admires Li Tian's imaginative imagination like a magic axe.

This special belt is not only beautiful, but also very convenient to carry.

The two firearms are hidden in a crossed position behind them, which is very convenient to take at any time.

On both sides of the waist, there are several extra ammunition bags, which can be conveniently placed, several ammunition bags, or other small items.

The belt is designed with a buckle. In addition to adjusting the thickness of the waist, it can also be opened and closed at the fastest speed.

With just one touch, the belt can be untied or put on at the fastest speed.

Under normal circumstances, this design does not show any benefits.

But in an emergency, every second that might be saved can be the key to victory.

Although this thing is a tactical belt designed by Li Tian for himself, Liu Baohe can still see the value of this belt at a glance, and he can't stop nodding aside.
