After the snow, the continuous white snow decorates the world, with jade leaves, pink and jade-like fabrics, and the students have been standing on the field for half an hour, and they look like snowmen from a distance.

Li Yunzhong nodded with satisfaction. It was rumored that Qi Jiguang's Qi family army could stand in the rain without panic. Now these fifty students stood in the heavy snow for an hour, and it was a beautiful story to spread.

"Students! Today is the opening period of our school. Why do we need to establish this school? You all know that China has fallen in the late Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Yi tribe! The Manchus enslaved the Han people, named Manchu and Han families, and were actually slaves! So they have ambitions

The soldiers fought against each other, and although they all failed, their spirits were immortal!

Moreover, China is now poor and has no way to make a living. Those people are not successful before they succeed, because of their difficulties in making a living, they all say they want to come to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Later, they succeed a little, and then they will

All the nationalisms that I obey were left out of the blue and ignored them. Those who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and those who escaped!

Learn from the past, the teacher of the future. Today I predict here: the important task of expelling the Tartars and restoring China lies in you! You are the hope of China!”

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

…………

Although there were only more than fifty people, the sounds they shouted were resounding throughout the sky.

Jack led Li Yunzhong and others to visit the military academy, and asked Li Yunzhong to comment whenever he went.

"Your Highness, this is a canteen. I have to say that the facilities and environment of this military academy are better than most Royal Military Academy in Europe. I really suspect that this is the place where the king has lived!"

Li Yunzhong looked at the dormitory and canteen, nodded and praised: "You must let the students sleep peacefully and the nutrition they consume must be balanced. These will be done according to the standards of you Europeans!"

Jack smiled and said, "As you wish!"

Everyone walked to the instrument room, Jack picked up a Minni rifle and praised: "Your Highness is really powerful. This Minni rifle was a secret weapon of the Army before I came to the Far East, and was not equipped with the Army on a large scale.

It is incredible that Your Highness can actually get it in the Far East!

You should know that in the Napoleon era, the effective range of the flintlock smoothbore gun was only 100 yards long, and the range of grape bullets and shrapnel fired by the artillery could exceed it, so that artillery became the advantageous weapon at that time. However, the Minnie rifle changed

With this kind of war, he can shoot targets beyond 500 yards, and various artillery can be placed behind infantry to become a support weapon. If His Highness can equip a large number of Minni rifles, he can destroy any enemy in the Far East with a little training."

Li Yunzhong took the Mini rifle and remembered that the Northern Expedition Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was defeated by the Qing cavalry, and asked: "Can this infantry phalanx be formed with Mini rifles defeat the cavalry?"

Jack said in surprise: "Cabinet attacks the infantry phalanx, which is equivalent to committing suicide, because the cavalry has not yet approached the infantry, most of the horses and cavalry have been hit! Unless they are cavalry equipped with rifles, it is impossible for cavalry to defeat the infantry.

This situation happened!”

After carefully observing the structure of the Minni rifle, Li Yunzhong was surprised to find that the gun seemed to be nothing complicated, and Chinese craftsmen could imitate it.

To imitate it, you must understand it. Li Yunzhong, who knew nothing about the rifle, decided to learn about the various data of the Minni rifle in detail, and then ordered someone to imitate it.

"I heard you brag for a long time. What are the advantages of this Minni rifle? I mean comparing the Brownbes rifle and the Cronswick rifle!" Li Yunzhong asked.

Jack waited for a long time, and finally had the opportunity to show off and said:

“The reason it is said to be the best:

First: The rate of fire is high, and you can fire three times per minute! In addition, the first time you don’t need to load, it’s four times!

Second: Excellent shooting accuracy, because the Minni rifle adopts a spiral rifle design, plus the unique shape of the Minnie bullet, oh! God, I have to admire this is really a great invention! It is no longer a dream to hit every shot! I think

, Infantry intensive charges will soon withdraw from the stage of history!

Third: It is more powerful than previous rifles.

Fourth: I can guess the range without saying that your highness can also be seen. The Minnie bullet makes the warhead loaded with the same amount of gunpowder fly further! It can hit enemies at 500 meters."

Li Yunzhong satisfies his rifle and pretends to be careless and asks: "Can Chinese craftsmen imitate this kind of rifle? You must know that if the imitation is successful, it will save me a lot of money!"

Jack shook his head and said, "This is a fine job, and it is difficult for ordinary craftsmen to imitate it. If it is possible in Europe, because there are many people who survive by repairing guns. But in China, what you understand is that except for the official, there is no

Anyone understands this.”

Li Yunzhong shook his head in disappointment, but he was still unwilling to give up the opportunity of one in ten million. "Is there no way? If possible, I am willing to pay any price!"

Seeing that Li Yunzhong was not giving up, Jack advised: "Your Highness, you should know that rifles have developed very quickly in Europe in the past few decades. Basically, more advanced rifles are released every few years, from carbines to Brownbeth rifles, which is not good.

Rick's rifle, Cronswick rifle, Minnie rifle, and there are many more in the middle. If Your Highness spends a lot of effort to imitate the Minnie rifle and waits for the Minnie rifle to fall behind in two or three years, wouldn't it be useless!"

Li Yunzhong suddenly realized that it seemed that the rifles used by European powers in the 19th century were updated very quickly, and more advanced rifles will definitely be released in the past few years. It seems that they need to change their methods.

"What do you think I should do? If you don't imitate these rifles, wouldn't you always be subject to others? Jack! You should think of a solution for me now?"

This time Jack did not intend to refuse. If the Han Kingdom became strong, it would be beneficial to him. Jack, who was calm, quickly came up with an idea, "Your Highness might as well train skilled workers, which can repair broken guns and

Reserve talents, and when better guns appear, they can be copied at any time. Wouldn't it be a single shot of two birds with one stone?"

"Okay! This method is good! But it's just that it's too slow to take effect. I don't know how long it will take to build the arsenal!" Li Yunzhong knew very well that if the arsenal was not built, he would sooner or later become a toy of the great powers.

Jack was not good at answering this question, and he changed the topic very smartly: "Does Your Highness know the development history of guns?"

Seeing that Jack was unwilling to talk about the arsenal, Li Yunzhong did not force himself and said cooperatively: "I only know that gunpowder was invented by China, but I really don't know the development history of musket!"

Jack quipped: "You use gunpowder to make fireworks, but we use gunpowder to make cannons and rifles. This is the cultural differences between Europe and the Far East. I will give you an example and your highness will understand:

The development of the flintlock gun into a flintlock gun was a technological revolution, but there is no accurate statement about how the flintlock gun was born. Some people think it was invented by the German watchmaker John Kievs, while others think it was an unintentional one by Italian scientists.

The gadgets made, but the one that has been circulated the most widely is another story.”

Li Yunzhong also wanted to know what kind of story it was that could make China's musket manufacturing technology lag behind Europe for so many years. He put down the Minnie warhead he had just picked up and said, "What kind of story?"

Jack smiled and said, "It is said that because the light and smell of the fuse of the mezzanine when it is burned will make the chicken farmers discover the thief, which is not conducive to the crime. Therefore, a chicken thief in the Netherlands pondered and thought about what method can not be exposed.

He could steal the chicken, and finally he designed and built a new gun with a flint fire device - the flintlock rifle!"

Li Yunzhong laughed and didn't understand why a chicken thief had such great strength to invent the flintlock rifle just to steal the chicken, rather than a general who summed up and invented it on the battlefield to win a battle.

"I heard what you said just now that European craftsmen who repair guns do not live a wealthy life. If I hired them to guide in Nanjing at a high price, would they come over?"

Jack was so in tears that he returned to this topic after a long time. Seeing that he could escape, he planned to tell the truth, "In the past, there were many such craftsmen in Europe, such as a freeman named Mahan, who improved the Netherlands.

The flintlock rifle invented by the thief became famous in one fell swoop and was hired by King Henry as his personal partner.

However, guns are becoming more and more sophisticated nowadays. Ordinary craftsmen have been unable to imitate complete rifles in a short period of time. Only by working together with two or three people can the customer's requirements be met. The profits obtained are not enough to support the family, which makes a lot of people

The craftsmen switched to their careers and started working as clocks and other things. Now His Highness has to recruit a large number of skilled craftsmen, which is very difficult!"
