The fire-breathing cannon was eroded for several meters

In the next few days, Sun Xin took Tang Long to a secluded corner of Shilipai in the name of going to Dengyun Mountain to collect herbs, and began to study the pepper bottle musket carefully.

After countless stimulating exercises, the two gradually adjusted the design of the musket.

It was impossible to reduce the recoil of such a crude musket. Sun Xin simply asked Tang Long to fine-tune the angle of each barrel according to the different directions of recoil when different barrels were fired.

The six barrels of the final pepper bottle pistol were all pointed in different directions to offset the error caused by muzzle jump.

Two days later, Sun Xin received eight pepper bottle pistols that were guaranteed to hit human-shaped targets within 20 meters.

This pistol has many shortcomings: it is bulky, has low accuracy, and is even more troublesome to load. After a round, you need to wait for more than ten minutes until the red barrel cools down before you can continue to load. It is basically a disposable weapon in combat.

Already.

But the most important advantage to Sun Xin is that this pistol activates very quickly.

The activation speed of this thing only depends on the speed at which the gun owner can ignite the gun with the fire stick and the endurance of his arm.

Sun Xin had a strong physique, and after two days of practice to get used to the recoil that felt like being beaten, he was able to hold two guns in each hand and shoot quickly with two fire sticks between his fingers.

As soon as he entered the main room, Wang Zheng said to Sun Xin: "My father heard that you have ginseng here, so he asked me to buy it, but the price is only one hundred and fifty taels. Brother Sun Xin, do you want to see it?"

He hugged his already pregnant wife and counted: "The one hundred and fifty taels from the ginseng seller will be used to repay the money for selling iron and buying stones in Laizhou. As for the other money owed, we will pay for it in two days."

I'll go out for a trip and I'll have it when I get back."

It's not much better if you are not a powerful person. Think about it, the first way Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin came up with when they had no money was to find a forest on the road and squat down to rob the unlucky guy. It's nothing more than a conscientious person.

Even Master Lu might have wanted to save the other person's life after the robbery.

Sun Li was not surprised when he heard this.

Sun Xin didn't go to practice shooting that night and went home to have a good rest.

In three seconds, he fired all six bullets from one gun, and then used another three seconds to shoot out all the bullets in the other gun. Adding the ten seconds of hand-changing time, Sun Xin could shoot two guns.

All twelve rounds of lead bullets are extremely powerful. And the hit rate within twenty meters is close to 80%. Using a specific shape of projectile and a large enough charge, the projectile can even break armor easily.

Wang Zheng was very happy when he heard this, nodded and said: "Okay, I will remember this sentiment."

Jie Bao, who had just turned fourteen, also stepped forward and said, "Master, what are we going to do this time? Is it to transport smuggled salt, sell smuggled tea, or rob horses in the north?"

Without thinking, he smiled at Wang Zheng and said, "Since I'm talking about it, it doesn't matter how much money I have, so I'll sell this red ginseng to me."

Xie Zhen said with a smile: "In the past, I often thought about getting rich, but there was always no way to do it. Today, Master is with me, going through the knife and the fire, and going through the fire."

He told Sun Xin to be careful, and also told him that now that he had a family and a career, he should not go to extreme lengths when some things could be done but were not. Sun Xin nodded and said he understood.

With these three apprentices following him for such a long time, he can basically guarantee that all three of them are loyal enough to him, not to mention that his team of three is much more united than the seven who outsmarted the birthday card in Water Margin.

, and even Bai Sheng, who had the weakest willpower among the seven guys, only confessed after being beaten. In comparison, Sun Xin still has sufficient confidence in his team.

And they had no objection at all to this matter.

After developing these eight weapons, Sun Xin called his three apprentices.

In the afternoon, Sun Xin rode to Dengzhou Mansion and asked Sun Li about his birthday in a circumstantial manner.

Not to mention that Chao Gai's village often sheltered private traders from all over the world, Xiaoxuanfeng Chaijin's village blatantly harbored a bunch of wanted criminals. Zhang Shun, the boss of Jiangzhou fishery, worked with his brother Zhang Heng in his spare time.

Murder and robbery on the river.

Hu Taigong's so-called five-hundred-year-old ginseng sold for more than one hundred and seventy taels. Although the freight from the Jin Kingdom to the Song Dynasty was included, the local price was so high that Sun Xin's red ginseng only sold for more than 170 taels.

Selling one hundred and fifty taels was indeed a low price, but Sun Xin knew that he should do some favors.

Seeing Sun Xin's mysterious look, Zou Run asked directly: "Master, are we going to do private business?"

Just look at whether any of the powerful people in Water Margin can be a law-abiding and good citizen?

One hundred and fifty taels of silver were deposited into the account at once. When the money was brought to Hu Sanniang, she was naturally pleasantly surprised.

Then the three of them happily picked up the muskets assigned to them and started practicing.

Sun Xindu took his three disciples to practice spear practice enthusiastically in a secluded place, until two days later Wang Zheng drove a carriage from Dengzhou City to Sunjiazhuang.

Finding these three people to seize the birth certificate was also something Sun Xin had planned for a long time.

In this era, only a few people who are rich can keep their hands clean from blood. Sun Xin feels that his three apprentices may have long wanted to go out with him to do some bloody business.

Everyone was confused when they saw the eight muskets made by Sun Xin and Tang Long, and when Sun Xin showed off his shooting skills of twelve shots in ten seconds, the three of them opened their mouths in surprise.

.

Sun Xin thought about it. The social atmosphere of this era was much more vicious than that of later generations.

Sun Li replied that he had heard that the waterway from Shandong to the west would not be opened until a few days later. The government usually leaves a few days' allowance for everything.

The days are probably in these days.

Immediately, he asked someone to bring the silver, and the red ginseng was settled by the two of them.

The houses of various powerful landlords are either hooking up with this bandit or making friends with that force.

It turned out that the three apprentices had long seen that he was very ambitious. When they learned that he and Tang Long were secretly preparing things outside Zhuangzi, they had already guessed that Sun Xin was going to do something illegal.

Sun Xin nodded secretly, and after chatting with Sun Li for a while, he told Sun Li that he wanted to leave Shilipai for a while and go out to do some business.

Sun Xinyi patted Jie Bao on the back of the head and said with a smile: "I now have such a big village, as for taking the risk of selling smuggled salt to earn a little money? Stop being nagging, let's come first and take a look at our weapons this time."

Sun Xin was stunned by these straightforward words.

This is a firing level that no concealed crossbow weapon can achieve these days. Let’s put it this way, if Sun Xin had used this pepper bottle musket when he met Zhu Biao, even if he was aiming at Zhu Biao’s legs,

Before Zhu Biao could react, his leg should have been amputated directly.

Hu Sanniang knew that Sun Xin had been worrying about the cost of repairing Zhuangzi in the past few days, and in the past few days, Sun Xin was suddenly busy preparing weapons. She had already guessed that her man would definitely go out to do some business.

"Can you really make that much money back?"

"You still don't believe me!"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that... a few hundred taels of silver isn't worth the risk." Hu Sanniang lowered her head and murmured.
