Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 799

[Chapter 799 Meeting in Changcheng]

“Bang!” In the

school yard, Zhao Xuping raised the Qin-style rifle and pulled the trigger.

A puff of blue smoke floated out from the muzzle and bolt, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

“Eight rings!” Not long after, the proofreading soldier ran over from a hundred meters away, with a smile on his face.

“Your Highness is really powerful, this first shot is eight rings.” Wang Ying gave a thumbs up.

Zhao Xu smiled lightly.

This rear-loading gun is a rifled gun, and the front-loading gun is also a rifled gun, but the way of loading is different.

In the past, he would often practice shooting in his spare time.

Although he is not as good as the sharpshooter in the army, he still thinks he is of a certain level.

Before he was satisfied, he pulled the bolt of the gun, stuffed the paper shell for another moment and fired it in, aiming at the target and firing another shot.

After firing ten bullets in a row, he took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and it seemed that there were five or six seconds more in one minute.

While shooting, he also took various poses.

Standing, half-kneeling, lying down, sideways and so on.

None of these actions affect reloading.

He is very satisfied with this.

When the royal family’s troops are equipped with Qin-style rifles, they won’t need to stand and reload on the battlefield in the future, exposing themselves to danger.

Most importantly, they were able to adopt more flexible tactics.

“What is the effective range?” Zhao Xu asked.

Although he knew that the effective distance of the Qin-style rifle was about the same as he predicted, he still wanted to ask.

“About 650 meters.” Wang Ying replied, his expression darkened. This was his only dissatisfaction.

The front-loading rifle gun made of converter steel has an effective range of up to 900 meters.

Zhao Xu didn’t say anything, but he hoped that the western countries would be confused by the effective range of the 900-meter front-loading gun.

In this way, they will exclude the longer time of breech loading, allowing him to take advantage of it.

Then, in order to introduce the structure of the Qin-style rifle to Zhao Xu, Wang Ying removed the entire bolt.

Zhao Xu is clear in his heart, but he has never seen the real thing, so he is interested.

In fact, the bolt of the breech-loading gun is a stick with a handle.

Inside the stick is the firing pin attached to the spring.

To load, pull the stick back to expose the chamber and insert the bullet.

Push the stick forward again, and the metal handle is pressed against the gap, blocking the barrel of the gun.

Pull the trigger, the spring pops out, and the firing pin strikes the cap.

“That’s right. Now there is only mass production left. This matter cannot be delayed. This king needs to provide Qin-style rifles to the royal army as soon as possible. The first batch of 30,000 will be delivered within three months.” Zhao Xu said.

Wang Ying and the two old craftsmen beside him looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

They never like pushing three obstacles and four obstacles, and they will only do their best to complete the tasks assigned by King Yan to ensure quality and quantity.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Wang Ying answered yes.

Thinking of something, he said again: “Your Highness, there is a breech-loading gun, so naturally there must be a breech-loading gun, so why not develop it together.”

Zhao Xu nodded.

Like the bolt-type structure of the breech-loading gun, the breech-loading gun of this era also started from the bolt-type structure.

The principle is the same, and it is natural to try to develop it next.

In this way, on the future battlefield, his army’s fire rate of muskets and artillery will be twice or even more than that of the enemy.

In martial arts in the world, everything is fast and unbreakable.

The new musket and artillery will surely teach his enemies a lesson on the battlefield.

After ordering this matter, Zhao Xu left from the Military Division.

Wang Ying and their tasks are heavy, so he won’t bother them.

…

At the same time, Changcheng.

The arrival of a group of envoys dispelled the anxiety and decadence brought about by the loss of Jinling to the king and ministers of Wu.

In the temporary palace, Liang Kai’s sigh turned into laughter.

“Brother Dou, the past is the past after all, don’t mention it again, as long as we can unite and deal with King Yan in the future.” In the palace garden, the maids shuttled between the courtyards, bringing all kinds of delicious food and wine.

After the news of Jinling’s destruction reached Changcheng, he suffered from insomnia all night long.

Occasionally, if you close your eyes, you will be awakened immediately.

In the dream, King Yan’s army broke through Changcheng and arrested him.

It wasn’t until Brooke arrived and brought him a big news that he regained his composure, was inexplicably excited, and hosted a banquet for everyone.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.” Dou Wei smiled, and now he is willing to call Liang Kai His Majesty, in exchange for Liang Kai’s trust in him.   Liang Kai nodded in satisfaction, looked at the Iron Wood

Pagoda, and the smile on his face became wider, “This time, the clan is united as one, and with Beidi’s great help, he, King Yan, will not be able to eat, so he walks away.”

The tower is amiable.

Now, he, Beidi, no longer dared to make a big deal. Before they eliminated King Yan, they decided to temporarily sit on an equal footing with these powerful clans and fight against the enemy together.

So he said: “It is my Beidi’s honor to be able to defend against the enemy with the Dasong clan.”

Liang Kai was stunned for a while, seeing the sincerity of Tiemu Tower, he was immediately elated.

Brook looked at the faces of the three of them, smiled, and said, “With the help of the Franks, it shouldn’t be a problem for Nanping to join us. Since we are together this time, why not discuss how to deal with the situation when King Yan’s army goes south?” We must not be like Jinling City, losing again and again.”
