Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 89: Hongwu Rifle!!!

Of course, it is impossible for Lan Yu to directly act on Zhu Rong now, what a joke, this is Zhu Rong’s territory!

Zhu Yuanzhang is by his side again, and in some days, it will be Zhu Rong’s big day.

The most important thing is that now Zhu Rong has made several merits, and Zhu Yuanzhang also attaches great importance to him, and even travels thousands of miles from Ying Tianfu to Qingzhou City to preside over the marriage for him!

Now, it is by no means the time to start, and it is impossible for him to directly use hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Qidi, but this matter must be known to Prince Zhu Biao in advance, so that he can take precautions in advance.

Zhu Rong didn’t know anything about Lan Yu’s thoughts.

He just led the team in front, out of Qingzhou City, all the way to the weapons workshop.

This weapon practice is located in Qingzhou City, at the foot of a small mountain, and the current workshop is in a state of stoppage.

Because there is no water flow now, it provides a strong motivation, and it will not resume until after the spring of next year.

Compared to textile workshops, the weapons workshop is not so large, there are no pieces of buildings, and at present, only one production line has been built. Moreover, due to time constraints, construction may not be possible throughout the year.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the curtain, poked his head out of the carriage, looked at the weapons workshop in front of him, and the whole person was directly stunned.

At this moment, the large army had stopped, and everyone was watching this weapons workshop.

Although it does not have as many buildings as a textile workshop, it is not small!

The most important thing is that this project is extremely strange, actually from the top of the mountain, to the foot of the mountain.

Zhu Yuanzhang directly lifted the curtain, walked 05 out from inside, stood on the carriage, and looked up at this vast project.

It can be seen that above the top of the mountain, a large cistern in the shape of a circular arc was built with cement.

Below the arc-shaped cistern is a circular vertical pipe, which, from the outside, is also wrapped in heavy cement.

Below, a large rectangular house was built of cement, which led to the interior of the weapons workshop.

Zhu Yuanzhang still doesn’t know what this place is, and Zhu Rong only said that taking him to see something good today can help him eliminate the trouble of the Northern Yuan.

Seeing this strange and magnificent building, the whole person was shocked and speechless for a long time.

At this moment, whether it was the Wen Chen in the team, the military general, and the many forbidden troops and capital defenders accompanying them, their eyes widened, looking at the huge building in front of them, and their hearts were overturned.

In addition to the weapons workshop, Zhu Rong deployed 5 troops, layer by layer of defense, and it can be seen how much His Royal Highness King Qi attaches importance to this place.

Outside, there are two 20-meter-high sentry towers used to detect enemy situations.

Surrounded by a 10-meter-high wall, above the wall, patrolling soldiers are constantly moving.

The heavy iron gate was slowly pushed open, and the team continued to move forward.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not return to the carriage and sat down, just stood on the carriage, looking at everything around him.

After entering the wide and heavy iron gate, there is actually a 10-meter-high city wall behind it!

Again through a gate, you enter the interior of the weapons workshop.

And just by seeing these two walls, everyone has realized the importance of this place!

Ordinary places will definitely not have such tight defenses.

Entering the inside of the weapons workshop, a wooden fence greeted you, and after passing through three fences, the team stopped.

Zhu Rong turned over and dismounted, wanting to help Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn’t wait to jump down directly and strode towards Zhu Rong.

“Old Seven, you brought us here, what the hell is this place?”

Only then did Zhu Rong smile and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: “Father Emperor, this is a weapons workshop, a place specially used to develop new weapons for my Daming army!” ”

Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes widened: “Develop new weapons?” ”

The most advanced weapons and equipment of the Daming Dynasty are firearms.

All kinds of fire bolts are developed from these weapon workshops.

Zhu Rong and Zhu Yuanzhang walked side by side in the forefront, and the rest of the Wen Chen military generals walked in the rear.

Everyone directly enters the huge house that connects to the strange shape of the outside, which is 20 meters high!

Just standing in the doorway, there is a sense of majesty.

Because the weapons workshop is now basically suspended, a group of craftsmen in the workshop are around a rectangular wooden table, discussing something fiercely, and some craftsmen are beating by the fire.

After Zhu Rong brought Zhu Yuanzhang and the others in, everyone hurriedly bowed down.

And at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang is completely confused.

Because within this huge house, there are various intricate structures connected.

Large and small gears, biting together with each other, as well as levers and belts for various transmissions, combined into a behemoth.

This powerful visual impact, like a raging storm, shocked the hearts of Zhu Yuanzhang and Wen Chen’s military generals!

“Father, this is the first weapon developed by the weapons workshop, the rifle, that is, the upgraded version of the fire!”

Hearing the fire, Zhu Yuanzhang’s heart moved, and he took the spear in Zhu Rong’s hand.

This spear has a very strange shape.

Made of iron metal and wood, it is six feet long and narrow at the front and wide at the back.

“How to use this spear?”

Zhu Yuanzhang fiddled for a long time, but he didn’t study it.

He fumbled with the spear curiously, amazed.

Zhu Rong spread out his hand, and a craftsman next to him handed over a bullet.

Zhu Rong smiled and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: “Father, let’s go outside and demonstrate.” ”

Everyone came outside again and went straight to the shooting range.

On the shooting range, there are targets one after another.

The targets are woven with twine with a red center painted in the middle.

Zhu Rong stood at a distance of 2 meters, filled with bullets, and aimed at the red bullseye.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood by and asked curiously: “At such a distance, can you hit the red heart?” ”

Zhu Rong smiled and said, “Father Emperor rest assured, the effective range of this spear is 2 meters!” ”

“If you can hit the enemy’s head, you can directly hit him with a headshot!”

Zhu Yuanzhang and the surrounding Wen Chen military generals gasped.

2 meters of range!

Everyone looked at each other!

This distance, if it is really taken to the battlefield, will produce huge lethality.

You must know that the range of the fire bolt is only about 1 meter!

The actual effective killing range is only about 50 meters, but if you want to break through the enemy’s armor, the distance is closer.

But Zhu Rong said that this spear has a range of 2 meters, which is 4 times more than the fire bolt!

How could the crowd not be surprised.

Zhu Rong was full of confidence, not to mention anything else, just the bullet he had just loaded was full of gunpowder.

Unlike the common rifle bullets in later generations, the bullets now are as long as a finger!

With so much ammunition loaded in the bullet, what is 2 meters?!

After Zhu Rong aimed, he was calm and solemn, and suddenly pulled the trigger!

Just listen to the bang, a cloud of smoke comes out of the muzzle!

The smell of gunsmoke quickly filled the air.

And the bullets whizz out through the cold winter air!

Everyone stared straight at the red heart of the target!

Wait, wait, I didn’t find any changes in the heart.

Not to mention the heart, the whole target is motionless.

If the bullet hits the target, the hemp rope on it will break and even penetrate the entire target.

However, everyone waited for a long time, and nothing changed.

General Wen Chenwu looked at Zhu Rong with an extremely strange look.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked puzzled, “Where is the fight?” ”

Zhu Rong put away the rifle and said embarrassedly: “Father and emperor should not be anxious, cough cough, the son is not good at knife soldiers, I will find a powerful one.” Li Yunlong! Come here! ”

A soldier dressed in armor ran over with a click.

“Meet Your Majesty, meet His Royal Highness King Qi!”

“Flat out.”

Zhu Rong threw the spear in his hand to him and said to him: “All the 10 targets in the front 323 hit me, if you don’t hit, hum, you will be fined for a month without meat!” ”

When Li Yunlong heard that there was no meat to eat for a month, he was immediately anxious.

“His Royal Highness King Qi rest assured, absolutely a hundred shots!”

Li Yunlong took 10 bullets from the craftsman, and then put them in his pocket.

He began to load the first bullet, loaded, aimed, pulled the trigger, banged, the bullet whistled out, hitting the first target, the heart!

The military generals in the rear and the forbidden army and the defenders of the capital who followed let out a burst of exclamations!

Zhu Yuanzhang stood beside Zhu Rong, his eyes wide and full of disbelief.

Zhu Rong said with a smile: “Father Emperor, this is the effect!” ”

And at the moment, the cartridge casing has fallen out of the rifle and fell to the ground.

Li Yunlong, on the other hand, did not hesitate, he stood in place, did not move his footsteps, and quickly loaded the second bullet.

Then, like the previous set of actions, the clouds flowed!

Pull the trigger again!

Bullets whizz out and hit the heart of the second target!

Then the 3rd target, the 4th target, the 10th target, all of them were hit by him in the heart!

A hundred shots!

Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes widened, his neck stretched forward, wondering if he had mistaken himself.

However, if you look closely, the red heart of this hemp rope woven target has all been destroyed, and the change can be seen even from a distance of 2 meters.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t say a word, he only felt that something was churning in his chest, and his breath was not smooth, he strode towards the target at 2 meters, and when he got close, he carefully examined it one by one, and sure enough, every shot hit the red heart of this target!

“Hiss——!”

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang gasp: “Really, it’s all hit!” ”

Everyone once again let out a low exclamation, and the military general Wen Chen exchanged ears, no matter how the old fox in the city government was deep, his face at this moment was also difficult to hide the shock!
