After seeing the pistol, Zhu Youxiao became even more interested.

What's the point of masturbating? A man's romance is not masturbating, but masturbating.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang and said, "Okay, now let's go and look at the spears."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang agreed quickly.

Whatever the emperor wants to see must be shown to him, this is what Bi Maokang will always do.

A group of people walked through the new courtyard and came to the back yard. There were already people waiting there.

The spear was quickly brought up.

Seeing this gun, Zhu Youxiao became even more excited.

Zhu Youxiao was really excited as he reached out, picked up the gun and took a quick look at it.

Although this gun is not as famous as those that came after it, it is truly a groundbreaking product.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty wanted to produce the best Mauser rifle and introduced the production line from others. As a result, others exported the obsolete 1888-style committee rifle to the Qing Dynasty.

This 1888-type rifle is prone to jamming and exploding, and has many problems. It is the famous Hanyang-made rifle.

Why is it called old sleeve?

In order to solve the problem of rifle bursting, several iron hoops were put on the barrel, which is why it was called the old sleeve.

Even a broken gun like the old slide was still in use during the Anti-Japanese War. It’s sad to think about it.

But now, seeing the gun in front of him, Zhu Youxiao was really happy.

Maybe this gun is not as good as the old slide, but this gun means a new beginning for the Ming Dynasty, and there will definitely be better things in the future.

This is a breech-loading single-shot rifle. The main design concept is to apply the current mature technology. To put it bluntly, it is convenient, simple to manufacture, and easy to use.

It was best if it wasn't difficult to use, as that was the standard for Ming soldiers. Although the imperial army had trained for years, they were still unfamiliar with this type of weapon and needed to slowly become familiar with it. Simplicity and ease of operation were paramount requirements.

What's more, the cultural level of soldiers in this era is not that high, so it's not good to make it too complicated.

This gun is designed with the concept of "simple and convenient operation".

It uses a metal single-shot bullet, and each shot requires a new bullet to be loaded and then the bolt to be pulled.

The sight uses a three-point sight and is equipped with a new type of gunpowder. The range of this gun can reach one thousand meters, and the effective range can reach four hundred meters, which is a very good data.

In addition, the firing pin and primer are also simple, which is not only easy to operate, but also reliable.

At the same time, in order to solve the problem of firing rate, the Baigong Academy also designed a new ammunition belt. Although it is called an ammunition belt, it is actually a vertical metal structure with a bullet in each frame.

After the first shot is fired from the belt, the second bullet will fall into the chamber. In this way, the bullet does not need to be pressed manually, and it can fall down by gravity. The shooter only needs to pull the bolt each time, and the bullet will be automatically loaded and then fired.

Of course, this design may require you to lie on the ground or hold the handle steadily.

These things can be used for future training and can serve as the standard for gunners. Only soldiers who can shoot steadily while marching can become gunners.

Zhu Youxiao took the gun, loaded a bullet, pulled the trigger and prepared to shoot.

Bi Maokang, who was standing nearby, quickly reached out to stop Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, please don't try this rashly."

I really have to persuade him. I can let His Majesty be willful with the pistol, but not here. The recoil of this thing is very strong. If His Majesty is injured, it will not be a good thing.

A single shot like that could easily dislocate the shoulder. Without systematic training, you shouldn't do that.

It's okay for soldiers to get injured during training, but it's no fun if the emperor gets injured.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Bi Maokang and said, "Is there any problem?"

"Your Majesty, if you really want to test the gun, there is a place to do so over there."

As he spoke, Bi Maokang made a gesture and pointed to a place not far away.

Looking in the direction Bi Maokang pointed, there was indeed a field and a rack, which was obviously where the guns were stored.

There are buckles and a buffer structure on the frame, which is used to reduce recoil. I guess after firing a shot there, there is no recoil reaction at all and no one will be injured.

After seeing this attitude, Zhu Youxiao decisively followed suit.

He really wanted to test the gun, but that didn't mean he wanted to get hurt. With this stand, although the recoil was less noticeable, he wasn't there to feel the recoil, but to feel the bullet.

Zhu Youxiao put the gun on the rack, moved behind it, squinted one eye and aimed at the three points for a long time, then pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit the distant target instantly without missing the target.

This made Zhu Youxiao very happy. Although the number of rings was not high, it was enough.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhu Youxiao suddenly realized a problem.

After looking at the rack, then at the target, and finally at Bi Maokang, Zhu Youxiao said, "Is this thing of yours fixed?"

After hearing this, Bi Maokang's face flashed with embarrassment, and he said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed fixed. The craftsmen wanted to experiment here, and their archery skills are not very good, so they came up with this method. In order to ensure that they hit the bull's eye, everything here is fixed."

Bi Maokang was a little embarrassed. He didn't really want to fool Zhu Youxiao, but this was how everyone usually used it. He couldn't change it to be prohibited when the emperor came, right?
