Chapter 241 Improved version of the musket

Su Muqian and Su Muyun are away, and Su Muqian also plans to return to his old career, dig up some news, and write some reports, and write some content about the livelihood of the people.

Yang Yichuan got the news from the Firearms Bureau, and finally succeeded, the improved version of the firearms.

Before Yang Yichuan left, he asked the people in the Firearms Bureau to continue researching. After returning to Xihecheng, Yang Yichuan also went to the Firearms Bureau. But at that time, he was still a little bit away from success, and now he finally succeeded.

Fu Donglai forwarded the news to Yang Yichuan, but Yang Yichuan could no longer sit still. The artillery had been exposed in the capital and the effect was very good. In contrast, the guns, which were still in the primary research stage at the time, did not receive much attention.

Yang Tianci was not optimistic about the future of guns, but Yang Yichuan was very optimistic. So after he came back, he also urged the people of the Firearms Bureau to continue to study. After all, Yang Yichuan had left a lot of guns and other knowledge to put them in the Firearms Bureau.

So after the most primitive firearms were first developed, we began to slowly study the subsequent more sophisticated firearms. Now that it was finally successful, Yang Yichuan was naturally very happy. The emergence of firearms means a change in the way of war. It means that when facing the Kitahara again, there will be less damage.

"The Firearms Bureau, it's successful, okay, I'll go to the Firearms Bureau now." Yang Yichuan made a little adjustment and was ready to set off.

This time, Yang Yichuan did not bring many others, and planned to bring a few personal guards by himself.

"Go and ask someone to inform Lord Li and General Lin Tulin, saying that there is something important, so let them go to the Firearms Bureau as soon as possible, and I'll wait for them there."

After Yang Yichuan explained the matter, he took Zhou Deren and some personal guards to set off.

When Lin Tu finally arrived at the Firearms Bureau, Yang Yichuan and Li Ru were already in the indoor firearms test site. Yang Yichuan was carefully looking at the firearms that had been made after so much effort in the Firearms Bureau. Now it seems that the quality is much better than the firearms brought back before the beginning of winter.

"Your Highness Prince Chuan, Lord Li."

"Oh, General Lin is finally here, I'm waiting for you."

Lin Tu also saw the gun in Yang Yichuan's hand. After following Yang Yichuan for so long, he also came to the Firearms Bureau and knew the power of the guns.

"Prince Chuan, is this the new gun?"

"Yes, before I returned to Beijing, I asked them to continue to study and improve. When I came back, the reform had almost been completed. Now it's finally done. General Lin, do you want to take a look and give it a try?"

Lin Tu immediately rejected it. At this time, Yang Yichuan realized that Lin Tu seemed to have changed a lot now. For example, now, he is also standing straight. Maybe it was because he trained with soldiers that he developed this habit.

"This is not needed. I don't know how to use it, nor do I understand it."

After hearing Lin Tu's words, Yang Yichuan also said with a smile, "This is not possible. In the future, this gun will be the best weapon to defeat the Kitayuan people. General Lin, you can't know how to use it, you don't know anything."

"Okay, since Lord Li and General Lin are here, it's time to see the power of this new gun."

Yang Yichuan loaded the bullets and was about to start testing the gun. This room was used to test the gun. The researchers who studied it before should have tried it many times. Even if those people are not considered masters of marksmanship, they can at least shoot.

Yang Yichuan was ready, "Mr. Li, General Lin, you will be optimistic later."

Yang Yichuan started to test the gun. Although Yang Yichuan was not used to using it, he could barely be able to use it.

"Ka, da, da..."

After a while, Zhou Wenchuan had fired ten bullets and hit the target in front. The target in front was made of aluminum. Yang Yichuan tried his best to hit the target, but his technology was too poor. If the target surface was not large and the distance was not far, otherwise, it would have been possible that all of them would have been lost.

Putting the gun aside, Yang Yichuan asked someone to take out the aluminum target surface and came outdoors with Li Ru and Lin Tu.

"Your Highness, the target has been taken."

This big target was placed on the table and placed in front of the three of them.

"Mr. Li, General Lin, look. This target is made of aluminum. Although aluminum is not as hard as steel, it is not paper or anything. Look at these bullet holes, they are left by bullets. What do Lord Li and General Lin have any thoughts?"

Li Ru and Lin Tu looked at the target surface carefully. The bullet holes were seen to have pierced directly. Lin Tu also used his hands to test the hardness of the target surface. If he wanted to bend it, it was really not difficult, and it would be possible to pierce it with a sword and a spear.

"This target is like an enemy. This bullet can penetrate the target surface, which means it can penetrate the body. It is very likely that a bullet can kill an enemy."

Li Ru understood what Lin Tu said. This bullet could even penetrate the target surface. If it hits a person, the consequences would be unimaginable. But if it hits an enemy, it would be very likely that it would destroy an enemy.

"Your Highness, this gun is so powerful."

"Yes, it's powerful. The most important thing is that it has a long range, even further than a bow and arrow. And I just saw that compared to the bullets and arrows, Lord Li and General Lin, do you know what this means?"

Lin Tu is a general after all, and he will soon be able to see the pros and cons. "This gun will replace the bow and arrow. A qualified archer must have a good bow and arrow. The most important thing is to train. Without long training and sufficient arm strength, it cannot stop the archer at all. But this gun is different. It does not require a long training and does not require amazing arm strength."

After hearing Lin Tu's words, Li Ru also knew the meaning of this.

"That's right, it means that soldiers only need to spend a month learning how to use guns, maintain, etc., to be comparable to an archer."

"There is another point that General Lin was wrong. It was not a replacement for archers, but many other troops. When my guns formed a net, how could the infantry on the opposite side resist our guns?"

Lin Tu immediately raised objections, "Your Highness, this is probably not realistic. There are still many people who carry shields, and the shields will block a lot of bullets."

"General Lin, I know you don't admit my idea yet. But I can clearly say that when fighting against the Beiyuan people in the future, it will be the world of artillery and firearms. First, let the Firearms Bureau increase production, and then form a musket force. After training, you will know how strong this musket force is."

Lin Tu looked at the musket and the target surface, and knew that this weapon would definitely be used on the battlefield. It is indeed necessary to build a musket force first.

"I think it's OK."

"Mr. Li, what do you think?"

Li Ru also nodded, "Since it is helpful and can kill the enemy, I naturally have no objection."
