Li Guodong returned to Shabeigou City and met Wang Quan, who had just returned from the south not long ago.

"Brother, I went to the south this time and met the thieves on the way, but I did not disappoint my brother's high hopes. The brothers in the guard team were also very good. They defeated the thieves and only sacrificed their two brothers and beheaded more than 500 levels." Wang Quan reported to Li Guodong about the situation of meeting the thieves on the way.

After the caravan defeated the bandits, he sent his head to Luoyang, and the government rewarded him with a reward of 1,000 taels of silver.

"This bandit's head is really worthless, one head is only two taels of silver." Li Guodong said with a smile.

"Yes, how can the thief heads be as good as the Jiannu heads?" Wang Quan also smiled, "No matter how poor Emperor Chongzhen is, he can still afford a Jiannu head's reward of twenty taels of silver."

"The caravan has returned to the west entrance. The caravan brothers and the goods transported are all at the west entrance. Brother, I brought you some things you urgently need this time, and I have brought them over." Wang Quan turned his head and asked his old friend to carry a big wooden box.

After opening the wooden box, Li Guodong saw a few wooden boxes inside. He took out one of the wooden boxes and opened it. He saw a pair of monocular telescopes lying inside!

"Good thing! What a good thing!" Li Guodong picked up the monocular, "With this, we will be one-way transparent to Jiannu in the future! We can see them, they can't see us!"

"Brother, there is this." Wang Quan opened another wooden box and took out a short gun from it.

Li Guodong picked up the short gun and found that the short gun was actually a flintlock rifle! There was a dog-locked hammer above the bolt, and a thick bolt next to the mouth was clamped with a flint. In front of the dog-locked bolt, there was a flask with friction surface engraved on the surface.

There is a spring piece under the dog lock machine. Before firing, you must pull the hammer back so that the spring piece is pressed tight. Pull the trigger, the spring piece is loosened, and the hammer hits the ignition piece. The ignition piece bounces forward to reveal the medicine pool. The hammer then knocks into the medicine pool with Mars, and only a crisp sound of a bolt hitting is heard.

Release the trigger and the hammer is half reset, and the ignition iron sheet is reset under the action of a small spring, which just covers the medicine pool and acts as a medicine pool cover. Before the next firing, after filling the gunpowder, pull the half-reset hammer backwards and then gets stuck.

"The firearms of the Thai-Weiyi people are indeed exquisitely made." Li Guodong sighed.

"The Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile and Short Gun were all purchased from the Macau Folang Jiren." Wang Quan said.

Li Guodong looked at the spring and sighed: "To build such self-produced muskets, high-quality steel balls are needed, but unfortunately we cannot produce them ourselves. This short gun is a good thing! If a cavalry carries two short guns, the accuracy and power are far better than the three-eyed gun. When it is close to Jiannu, it is valuable. First fire the gun, then put away the short gun, and use a hammer and axe to kill the enemy."

This time, Wang Quan brought back five flintlock short guns, and the number was still smaller.

"If you need it, I will go to the south next time and bring more back. By the way, brother, there are a few long self-generated muskets under this box, so I will take a look."

Li Guodong moved all the boxes above and saw three dog-locked flintlock rifles at the bottom of the box.

The structure of the three-bar dog lock flintlock rifle is similar to the flintlock short gun just now, but there is also an additional medicine pool cover. When the trigger is pulled, the medicine pool cover will automatically push forward, revealing the medicine pool. The dog lock hammer hits the ignition tablet with flints, and the joint bolts lift the ignition tablet. The flint brings Mars and the scraped hot iron chips into the medicine pool to ignite the induced medicine.

Release the trigger, and reset the linkage bolt with the pot cover and ignition plate. The hammer is half-reset, and the hammer must be turned by hand to reset.

Li Guodong looked at the barrel of the gun again, which was similar to the bird gun, but the caliber was a circle larger than the bird gun, and the inner chamber was very smooth. The bolts were made of brass and shining. The springs were made of white steel sheets, emitting silver-white light. It seemed that Westerners had indeed worked hard to carefully create a flintlock rifle.

Li Guodong knew that this dog-locked flintlock rifle was the first generation of flintlock rifle that could truly replace the flintlock rifle in the West. It began to be equipped in large quantities in the early 17th century, and subsequent flintlock rifles were generally based on the basic structure of this gun and continued to be improved. In addition to being used in Western military, Western pirates especially liked this weapon.

The Ming Dynasty's technology began to lag behind, but the Ming Dynasty also caught up, so Bi Maokang built a flintlock rifle. Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, interrupted the process of civilization, and eventually barbaric replaced civilization, dragged the Chinese civilization back. By the time of the Opium War, it had lagged behind the West for two hundred years.

The newly purchased flintlock rifles are equipped with projectiles, but they are not equipped with gunpowder.

Li Guodong asked to do something immediately and cast a batch of projectiles according to the size of the projectiles. At the same time, he made paper shells and fixed-load bullets according to his own method.

Three days later, the craftsmen made a batch of paper shell fixed-loading bullets according to Li Guodong's requirements, including fixed-loading bullets with flintlock short guns and fixed-loading bullets with dog-locked flintlock long guns.

After the bullet was manufactured, Li Guodong took several brothers to test the guns.

Li Guodong first took out a flintlock short gun, took out a paper bullet-shell bullet-screw bullet, bite the tail of the bullet, stuffed the bullet through the muzzle, took off the short strip of the short gun, compacted the bullet, and then took off the ignition pot from his waist, opened the ignition tablet, exposed the induced medicine pool below, squeezed the induced medicine into the medicine pool, and then reset the ignition tablet.

After loading the bullets, Li Guodong held a short gun in one hand, aimed at the wooden target thirty steps away, and gently pulled the trigger. He heard a roaring sound of the gun, and fire was emitted from the muzzle and the medicine pool, and white smoke filled the air.

A projectile accurately hit the wooden target thirty steps away. A black bullet hole appeared in the middle of the one-inch-thick wooden target, and the bullet was deeply embedded in the wooden target.

"Brother, you are good at gun technique!" Everyone applauded.

Li Guodong walked to the target and looked at the bullet hole that had just been fired: "If the wooden target is half thin, the bullet will just penetrate. The gun is so powerful that it will be no problem to break the armor of Jiannu's white armored soldiers within thirty steps."

Then Li Guodong tried to shoot a dog-locked long gun. After loading the bullet, he picked up the long gun, aimed at the target fifty steps away, and gently pulled the trigger. A deafening gun sounded. The target fifty steps away shook violently, shaking for a lot before slowly calming down.

"The half-inch thick wooden board was penetrated." Han Dashan shouted.

"This gun is much faster than our bird gun, has greater power and high accuracy. Can we imitate it?" Cao Lei asked.

"We can't imitate it at present. The most important thing about self-produced muskets is the springs of the bolt. Without high-quality high-quality steel sheets, the fire rate of this musket is too low, only three out of ten. The success rate of such ignition is not as good as that of bird guns. If we build high-quality spring steel ourselves, the cost will be too high." Li Guodong replied.
