Chapter 314: Flintlock Gun

PS: There is one more chapter, it will be around eleven.
Qingzhou Military Camp.
It was lunch time, Qingzhou soldiers sat neatly in the cafeteria to eat.
After the reforms of the Qingzhou Army, the Qingzhou Camp has a special canteen. After the recruitment of logistics soldiers, the logistics soldiers will be responsible for the food of the Qingzhou soldiers.
"Oh, it's fried locust again. I can't eat enough." Lu Fei sat down on the chair, picked up the steamed bun and took a bite and went to catch the fried locust.
Although the conditions in Qingzhou are much better now, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army mainly eat steamed buns and staple foods such as cakes. It is good to have two or three vegetables to eat, not to mention meat. After all, 20,000 mouths are not. So easy to feed.
However, after Li Kaiyuan delivered the deep-fried locust dish, the Qingzhou army was finally able to eat a good meal every other time.
"Our Royal Highness is really talented, Lu Fei, how did your Royal Highness know that this locust can eat this way, hey, it's really a matter of admiration after three days." Luo Xin sighed while eating the fried locust.
Niu Ben shook his head, he was a little ashamed of this incident.
When he was in the barracks, he always ate and lived with the soldiers, and this was also the requirement for the generals. He thought he was already enjoying the people, but he didn't expect Xiao Ming to go deeper into the people than he did.
This time, I personally fried locusts in Dongshi for the people to eat. Now this has become a popular story among the people.
While everyone was eating, suddenly a guard from the camp came to report, "Captain, your Highness is here."
Hearing this, Niu Ben quickly took a few bites. Lu Fei and Luo Xin did the same. They hurriedly took a few bites of rice and walked outside the camp.
"It must be the first batch of flintlocks here." Lu Fei said excitedly.
Luo Xin was a little jealous. Lu Fei was about to change his equipment soon. He muttered, "No matter how powerful the flintlock is, it is still not as good as a gun."
"Bah!" Lu Fei gave Luo Xin a blank look.
When the three of them arrived outside the camp, they saw a number of carriages followed by Xiao Ming, with boxes on top of them.
"His Royal Highness, is the flintlock here?" Niu Ben asked first, he was even more anxious than Lu Fei, waiting for the flintlock to be installed.
Because Xiao Ming said that this flintlock is a weapon to counter the barbarians.
"Five hundred, this is the first batch. The military workshop said that next month it will provide two thousand flintlocks, and the Qingzhou Army will probably replace them with flintlocks in one year." Xiao Ming said with a smile. .
"Hey, great, Your Highness, the Qingzhou Army's discipline is fine, and the battlefield is fine. The soldiers only need to learn to manipulate the flintlock gun." Lu Fei smiled.
Xiao Ming nodded, "Supervisor Niu, these five hundred flintlocks should be equipped with the Pioneer Battalion. After the soldiers have eaten, let the Vanguard Battalion assemble. This king will demonstrate how to operate the flintlocks."
"His Royal Highness, the last generals you taught in the military workshop will be all, so don't bother your Highness." Lu Feiyue was eager to try and wanted to show off in front of the soldiers.
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "That's not okay. Last time it was just a test shot. My king just loaded the ammunition indiscriminately. This time it is a formal training. You can't follow the previous one."
Niu Ben and Lu Fei glanced at each other, and their faces blushed. They also brag with the soldiers, it turned out that it was a non-standard order.
All five hundred brand-new flintlocks were unloaded, and the soldiers moved the muskets to the school yard. At this time, all the soldiers from the Pioneer Battalion assembled on the school yard.
They all learned that they were going to use a brand new weapon today, and their faces flushed with excitement.
The whole box of flintlocks was moved to the soldiers. At this time, Xiao Ming was not in a hurry to fire the flintlocks, but prepared to explain to the soldiers.
As at the military workshop last time, Xiao Ming gave Lu Fei and Niu Ben a flintlock.
"There is the flintlock in front of you. In the future, the flintlock will become your weapon and the life on the battlefield. Therefore, after you get the flintlock, you must cherish the gun in your hands, because you can You can only rely on them if you can't survive the battlefield. Now, I will explain to you the structure of flintlocks and their functions."
Facing the soldiers, Xiao Ming explained every structure of the flintlock rifle and introduced its functions.
The soldiers concentrated on one by one, for fear of missing a word.
After the explanation, Xiao Ming was facing the soldier at this time, and this time he demonstrated the normal flintlock operation specifications.
First, Xiao Ming picked up the flintlock gun forty-five degrees and tilted it into the filling position. Then he said, "Watch my actions. First pull the lock, open the lid of the medicine pool, then take out the bullet, bit it, and pour the gunpowder into it. For the gunpowder pool, close the lid of the gunpowder pool, then pour the remaining gunpowder in the paper shell into the barrel, and insert the bullet into the barrel with the paper shell. At this time, take the cleaning rod out of the barrel, insert the cleaning rod, The strip is inserted into the barrel to tamping ammunition back and forth."
After this action was over, Xiao Ming continued: "After loading the ammunition, put the cleaning rod back, raise the flintlock rifle on your shoulders, and wait for the order to shoot."
At this time Lu Fei and Niu Ben both posed in the order that Xiao Ming said. At this time, Xiao Ming said, "Fire!"
"Boom!"
Two gunshots were fired, accompanied by a burst of white smoke.
The soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion were all stunned, and the loud noise of this gun was shocking enough.
"Hey, how about it, this flintlock gun is amazing, tell you, 80 meters away, a shot penetrated the plate armor, when the time comes, the barbarians are not afraid that they are wearing armor!" Lu Fei said excitedly.
Luo Xin saw the musket and was a little jealous, and said: "His Royal Highness, do our artillery also need to be equipped with flintlocks, or who will protect us on the battlefield."
"Less Captain Luo, don't worry. I will send a few people to protect you when the time comes. But if you listen to me, you have to fight wherever you are." Lu Fei held a flintlock. Give me the appearance of someone else.
Luo Xinxing replied with a disdainful look~EbookFREE.me~ Xiao Ming ignored the two men's quarrel, but said to Niu Ben: "Dudu Niu, send this flintlocker."
Niu Ben nodded, and said to the soldiers: "Line up and pick them up one by one. When you get the flintlock, don't move around, all follow the instructions."
"Yes!" the soldiers shouted.
All five hundred people in the Pioneer Battalion were equipped with flintlocks. The soldiers stood upright one by one. The flintlocks in their hands stood on the ground. The five hundred people gathered together looked very mighty.
Looking at the Qingzhou Army, which looked like a modern army, Xiao Ming suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security, and then he shouted: "Stand tighter and follow my orders."
After saying this, Xiao Ming, Niu Ben and others stood beside the soldiers.
Then Xiao Ming asked the soldiers to stand in a column. After everyone stood up, he issued a series of orders and finally shouted: "Fire!"
