"This firecracker is so powerful. It's incredible. It's incredible. If the imperial court had such a weapon, then they would be afraid of building slaves, thieves, and Zhao Wen." Chongzhen murmured.

Not only Chongzhen, but all the people on the high platform were horrified when they saw the 56 half of the fire.

"This firecracker can shoot continuously, and you can judge the power of this firecracker by listening to the sound, but I don't understand why Zhao thief would call it 56 and a half for such a powerful firecracker? What is the name of 56 and a half? I just don’t know what to say, don’t know what to say!”

A high-ranking official kept shaking his head. He really couldn't understand why such a powerful weapon had such an ugly and incomprehensible name.

"That's right, this firecracker is powerful and can fire continuously. Even if it is called Shenwei Incomparable and Invincible Firecracker, it sounds better than this 56 and a half!" An official standing next to the official also echoed.

The soldiers who controlled 56 and a half were both surprised and frightened.

They were surprised that it was the first time they had seen a firecracker that could fire continuously, and they were afraid that the imperial court did not have this kind of firecracker.

These soldiers used to control matchlock guns, and they were good at dealing with recoil, but how could the recoil of matchlock guns be compared with 56 and a half?In addition, although the 56 semi is semi-automatic, if the trigger is pulled continuously, the rate of fire is very fast in this era.

Therefore, these soldiers who have never used 56 and a half can't control the 56 and a half in the continuous shooting.

When all the bullets in the magazine were emptied, these soldiers hurriedly put the 56 halves in their hands on the ground and kept rubbing their shoulders.

"Check the target!" Zhang Zhiji came back to his senses, and hurriedly pointed to the target in front of him and shouted.

In fact, what Zhang Zhiji said was nonsense at all. Just now, he could see the flying sawdust. Now it is unnecessary to check the target.

"All on target!"

As soon as Zhang Zhiji's voice fell, more than a dozen soldiers ran towards the target.

Looking at the battered target, they hurriedly shouted at Zhang Zhiji.

"Now replace the target with a new target, and place the target a hundred steps away. This time, only one shot is allowed when firing. We have a limited amount of lead, so we need to save some."

Although it looks cool when firing in bursts, there are only a thousand rounds of bullets in total, so you can't use it sparingly.

It didn't take long before the brand new target was placed a hundred paces away.

One step is about 150 meters, and one hundred steps is [-] meters.

This distance is completely within the range of 56 and a half.

When Zhang Zhiji gave the order to fire, the soldiers aimed ahead and pulled the trigger.

Because Zhang Zhiji said just now that he could only fire one shot this time, during the shooting this time, these soldiers did not shoot continuously, but only fired one shot in a proper manner.

After the gunshots, Zhang Zhiji sent another person to check the target.

The results this time were without exception, and they still hit the target.

In the following time, Zhang Zhiji asked people to move the target two hundred steps and three hundred steps farther away.

At two hundred steps, although he could hit the target, his accuracy was much worse.

At three hundred steps, only one target out of ten was hit.

Of course, this is not the accuracy of the weapon, but the accuracy of these soldiers.

Although the accuracy was far off, the target that was hit was still pierced by the bullet.

In other words, at [-] steps, it still has lethality.

As for the [-] steps up, Zhang Zhiji didn't test it, because it was unnecessary.

After all, a distance of [-] steps can kill a person, so it is meaningless to test again.

"Test the power now!" Zhang Zhiji shouted again.

The power test is similar to the range test, the only difference is that the target is replaced with iron armor.

It didn't take long for the test results to come out.

At a distance of fifty steps, a 56-half bullet can penetrate three iron armors.

The reason for breaking through the three armors is that Zhang Zhiji only had three armors installed.

It can still break through the defense of armor at a distance of one hundred steps, and it can still break through the defense of armor at a distance of two hundred steps.

In other words, 56 and a half still has a very powerful lethality at a distance of two hundred steps.

After Chongzhen heard Zhang Zhiji's report, he felt extremely bitter all of a sudden.

Judging from the results of the test, even if he sent the most elite troops, it would be of no avail. He was killed within two hundred steps. How can we fight this battle?

"Test 56 now!" Zhang Zhiji returned to the previous place after finishing his report.

The soldiers with the 56 rushed started the test under the command of Zhang Zhiji.

测试的结果比刚才的56半还要惊骇，56冲的射速比56半不知道快上多少，恐怕四五把同时开火的56半才勉强能和一把56冲相比。

After comparison, the rate of fire of the 56 punch is higher than that of the 56 and a half, and the range is similar to that of the 56 and a half, except that the accuracy rate is lower than that of the 56 and a half.

But despite this, it is much stronger than ordinary firecrackers.

The test results of the Type 56 light machine gun are not much different from those of the Type 56 Dash. It is more powerful than the former two, and the rate of fire can be faster.

However, the 56-type light machine gun has a large ammunition load, and the bullets loaded in a magazine are far from comparable to the 56 punch and 56 semi-comparable.

Chapter 453 I want to lay down a vast territory

With the passage of time, the sun has risen to the sky.

Zhang Zhiji, who had screamed all morning, walked a dozen steps away from the last soldier.

"Testing 40 fires now, the front personnel quickly evacuate, and all personnel within [-] steps behind quickly leave!" Zhang Zhiji licked his dry lips and shouted again.

Not long after, the people within fifty steps in front and behind quickly ran towards the two sides.

The soldiers carrying 40 firearms squatted on the ground and began to load the warheads according to the method given to them by Jin Yiwei.

It didn't take long for the warhead to be loaded.

"My lord, you can start now." The soldier shouted at Zhang Zhiji.

Zhang Zhiji nodded, and ran to the side, about a hundred steps away. He looked ahead and shouted: "Set fifty targets in one hundred steps ahead."

As soon as Zhang Zhiji finished speaking, dozens of soldiers rushed forward carrying targets.

Soon, these targets were erected.

After the target was erected, these soldiers hurriedly ran towards the surroundings.

When everything was ready, Zhang Zhiji waved the small flag in his hand and shouted: "Fire!"

Following Zhang Zhiji's order, the soldiers carrying 40 fires pulled the trigger.

A huge flame emerged from the tail of the 40 fire, and the dust on the ground was rushed up.

The warhead of the rocket flew towards the fifty targets with an orange light and a shrill cry.

When Zhang Zhiji yelled to fire, Chongzhen stood up from the dragon and came to the edge of the high platform, his eyes fixed on the rockets flying forward.

In an instant, the rocket fell into the target.

Immediately afterwards, an explosion sounded from the landing point of the rocket's warhead.

The targets at the center of the rocket landing were instantly engulfed by the explosion, and around the landing point, these targets also became staggered due to the explosion of the rocket.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the targets set around became shaky, and the target at the center of the landing point was blown into sawdust.

Chongzhen watched this scene, speechless for a long time.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and after a long time, he sighed, and said with a gray face: "Zhao thief has this kind of weapon in his hand, how can the court be his opponent? Want to kill my Daming?"

"Your Majesty, although Bandit Zhao is powerful, it doesn't mean that the court is no match. No matter how powerful Bandit Zhao is, it is only in Xuanzhen and Shanxi. The imperial court imitates Bandit Zhao's weapons at this time, and will put down Bandit Zhao in the future." It's just a matter of time." Gao Qiqian looked at the dejected Chongzhen, and hurried up to comfort him.

However, when Gao Qiqian said these words, he lacked confidence.

"This is like thunder from the sky. How is this possible? How could there be such a weapon? Even a red-clothed cannon weighing several thousand catties doesn't have such power. How did Bandit Zhao make this kind of weapon?"

"The divine thunder descends from the sky, it is simply the divine thunder descending from the sky. This thing is light to carry, easy to operate, and powerful. If Zhao thief popularizes this weapon in the army, the court may be wiped out in an instant."

Not only Chongzhen, but the officials standing on the high platform also looked in horror at the ground that had been bombed by 40 fires.

"Shut up, do you mean that the court is not Zhao's opponent? Do you mean that the court is about to perish? What do you mean by these words? Are you trying to spoil others' ambitions or destroy your prestige? Are you going to surrender to the enemy? What is your intention in saying these words? What is your intention?" Gao Qiqian turned around, staring coldly at the official who spoke just now like a vulture, and kept being shaken by the official flattery.

This official just said it carelessly, how could he have thought that Gao Qiqian would use the loopholes in his language to attack himself.

He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Chongzhen non-stop.

If these charges are really carried out, then I really can't live.

"Your Majesty, I was just careless for a while, please forgive me." He knocked his head on the frame and kept replying.

Chongzhen turned around and gave him a cold look.

"Hmph, I'll spare you for now, if you dare to say such a thing in the future, I will never forgive you lightly." Chongzhen snorted coldly and scolded.

In fact, Chongzhen didn't know that what this person said was not bad, but at this time, in this situation, even if the court is not Zhao Wen's opponent, it must be said that the court is Zhao Wen's opponent.Otherwise, before Zhao Wen called, the entire court officials would have run away.

"Okay, let's stop here today. After the test, hand over all these weapons to the Ministry of Industry, and let the Ministry of Industry try to imitate them. If the imitation can be successful, I will reward you a lot." Chongzhen pointed at the high platform with some disinterestedness The soldiers pointed to a high-ranking official standing next to them, and said.

Gao Qiqian hurriedly rushed to the front of the high platform, and repeated Chongzhen's order just now with a cocked voice.

After finishing speaking, Gao Qiqian hurriedly followed Chongzhen towards the imperial palace.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry led the officials of the Ministry of Industry to walk down from the high platform, and Zhang Zhiji gathered the soldiers who had just test-fired.

Zhang Zhiji took a handful of 56 and a half from a soldier and handed it to the Minister of Industry.

"Master Shangshu, this is Zhao thief's weapon. It's called 56 and a half. As for why this firecracker is called 56 and a half, I still can't figure it out." Zhang Zhiji looked at the 56 and a half in the hands of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, with a puzzled expression on his face .

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry held the 56 and a half and looked at it carefully.

After a while, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry sighed, his face was full of sadness, "The Ministry of Industry cannot imitate this kind of firecracker. can be produced."

"Master Shangshu, are you joking? The Ministry of Industry cannot imitate this kind of weapon? Impossible." Zhang Zhiji pointed at the weapon in Shangshu's hand, and said in disbelief.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry shook his head, and he handed the weapon in his hand to an official behind him, "Come and see!"

This official is from the Bureau of Military Warfare, in charge of the supervision of weapons manufacturing. Although he is a scholar, he also knows some methods of manufacturing weapons.

He took over 56 and a half from the Ministry of Industry Minister and watched it for a long time.

"No, it can't be manufactured. Even if it can be manufactured, I'm afraid the power will be greatly reduced. The barrel of this firecracker is made of fine steel. It seems that it should be drilled out of a fine iron rod. Very even.

Among other things, I can't make it out of just this gun barrel.

I really can't figure out how this kind of weapon can fire continuously. It's not that the Ministry of Industry has never thought about making the weapon fire continuously, but no matter what method, there is no way to achieve it. "He knocked on the barrel of the 56 and a half, squinted his eyes and looked inside the barrel, then shook his head and returned the 56 and a half to the Minister of Industry.

"So, it can't be copied?" Zhang Zhiji became anxious when he heard that it couldn't be copied.

If it can't be imitated, how can Xuanzhen be pacified?

Minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "I can only say try my best. By the way, let me see what kind of lead is used in this firecracker."

"In Xuanzhen, they call lead a bullet, and their bullets are different from ordinary firecrackers..."

Zhang Zhiji took out a bullet from the box on the ground, held it in his hand, and began to explain in detail.

When the weapons were delivered to the capital, Zhang Zhiji had a detailed conversation with the Jin Yiwei who delivered the weapons, so he knew some details about these weapons.

After Zhang Zhiji finished explaining, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry frowned tightly, "I have never seen such a way of filling lead, and I have never even heard of it."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry took the bullet from Zhang Zhiji's hand and looked at it in detail.

After a while, he shook his head and returned the bullet to Zhang Zhiji.

"This lead can't be manufactured by the Ministry of Industry. This lead seems to be made of copper. What is copper? Copper is money. Even if this lead can be made, the court doesn't have that much money."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said it well, relying on the current industrial capabilities of the Ming Dynasty, it is almost impossible to manufacture a qualified bullet.

"Then what about the imperial court?" Zhang Zhiji asked with a troubled expression.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry let out a long breath, "Let's take a look first, then I will take these weapons back to see if I can imitate them. If I can imitate them, I will imitate them. If I can't imitate them, I can only think of other ways." gone."

……

Zhao Wen walked out of the study room with a few order documents sealed in bamboo tubes and came out of the hall.

He stood in front of a guard and said, "Get me Li Xiaosan!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Wen walked towards the hall.

"Obey!" The guard cupped his hands towards Zhao Wengong, and then hurriedly ran outside.
