    Before I knew it, it was almost noon.

    Qi Jiguang ordered the gold medal, and the soldiers lined up separately and returned to their camps.

    The dusty martial arts arena gradually returned to calm.

    "I wonder if the doctor has any advice?" Qi Jiguang said politely.

    "Well, it's very shocking." Zhao Hao nodded vigorously, and then said with some regret: "I just didn't hear the sound of gunfire. I always feel like something is missing."

    "Haha" Qi Jiguang, Hu Shouren and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The latter joked: "Mr. Zhao, we also want to practice with real guns and live ammunition, but you can buy us ammunition?"

    "What, is it very expensive?" Zhao Hao felt happy, this young master has a place to use.

    "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, even if you have money, you can't buy it." Hu Shouren said with a smile: "If you can help us get it, I, Lao Hu, will give you a shot myself."

    "Don't talk nonsense." Qi Jiguang glared at Hu Shouren and explained to Zhao Hao: "What Lao Hu means is that our Shenji Battalion only has guns and cannons, but the ammunition is stored in the arsenal. If we want to conduct live ammunition training, we must apply for approval in advance.  That¡¯s all.¡±

    "Anyway, Lao Hu has been here for almost a year, and he hasn't had a shot at it." Hu Shouren curled his lips in depression and said, "My housekeeping skills are almost rusty."

    "That's it" Zhao Hao sighed helplessly. This is not a problem that can be solved by money.

    "But don't worry, Doctor, when you come to the Shenji Camp, can you still hear the sound?" Qi Jiguang is so thorough in his work, how can he let Zhao Hao not enjoy himself?

    "After lunch, I will take you to the Ordnance Bureau's test gun range to have fun."

    "That's a good relationship." Zhao Hao glanced at Zhao Shizhen happily, and his eldest nephew, who had been lacking interest all morning, finally smiled.

    ??~~

    Lunch was served in Qi Jiguang¡¯s Chinese military tent.

    Before the meal, Zhao Hao asked Gao Wu and others to present the gifts they had brought - twenty monocular telescopes and five binoculars.

    This made the generals of Qi Jiajun extremely happy. They had long been coveted Hu Shouren's telescope.

    But this guy treats it like a lifeblood and never allows them to touch it. Now everyone should be able to get one, and finally they don¡¯t have to worry about Lao Hu¡¯s one anymore.

    "This gift is too precious." Qi Jiguang was also very happy. There was no gift more suitable to him than this kind of gift.

    How could General Qi let his friends suffer?  He also gave gifts in return - twenty brand-new bird guns and five shining Japanese swords.

    "We have traveled two thousand miles, with high mountains and long rivers. I will give some of Qi's personal possessions to Zun and his son for self-defense. He is a master of gun skills. Just ask him to teach the guards how to do it later."

    Zhao Hao picked up a three-foot-long bird gun from the long wooden box and held it in his hand for a closer look.

    The straight black barrel, the reddish-brown hardwood stock, the front sight, the rear sight, the trigger and the faucet look very similar to the rifles of later generations.

    Zhao Shizhen stood behind him, stretching his neck and his eyes were extremely hot.

    Hearing the sound of his eldest nephew swallowing, Zhao Hao handed him the gun in his hand.

    Zhao Shizhen hurriedly wiped his hands on his body, took it and started groping it carefully. His obsessed look made people feel numb.

    "Thank you, Commander, for the generous gift," Zhao Hao thanked him sincerely, and then said worriedly: "It's just that civilians are not allowed to hold firearms, so what can I do?"

    "Haha, of course private citizens are not allowed to hold it. But as the county magistrate, your father brings dozens of gunmen to take office, so there is no problem at all."

    Qi Jiguang patiently said: "The county's express delivery shop has soldiers, the inspection department has archers, all the delivery guards are there, and the posthouse has cooks. In addition, in the past ten years, various counties have been affected by the Japanese invasion."  It is rampant, bandits are frequent, and volunteers, gunmen, militiamen, etc. have been recruited one after another In short, it is just a name, as long as it does not cost the court's money, the censor will not care. "

    With that said, General Qi added: "Of course, don't show off in the capital, otherwise the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will come to you soon."

    "That's natural." Since the very cautious General Qi said there was no problem, Zhao Hao had nothing to worry about.

    But think about it.  If the Ming Dynasty had not been very open to weapons management, in another time and space, when the country was in crisis, civil servants like Zhao Shizhen and Bi Maokang who were good at doing things would not have been able to invent various magically modified versions of muskets.

    Zhao Hao happily put away his sword and gun, and collected several cans of gunpowder and projectiles.

    Both the guest and the host received their favorite gifts, and naturally both the guest and the host were happy.

    ??~~

    After lunch, after taking a short rest, Qi Jiguang took Zhao Hao to the Ordnance Bureau's test gun range in Xishan.

    The weapons manufacturing in the Ming Dynasty was also very open, from the Ministry of Industry to the inner court, from the Chief Secretary to the capital.?The command department, and even the local guards, have the power to manufacture weapons and even firearms.

    Of course, the level of manufacturing varies, and the one with the highest level is none other than the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, which supplies most of the firearms of the Shenji Battalion.

    "It's a pity that the Ordnance Bureau's firearms production place is located in the Wanggong Factory area in the southwest corner of the inner city.  Today I can¡¯t see how Ming Dynasty¡¯s weapons were made.

    Under the leadership of Qi Jiguang, everyone passed through a guard post and entered an open mountain valley. They saw that Hu Shouren, who had come first, had prepared various firearms and was waiting for their arrival.

    "Which one should you look at first?" Qi Jiguang asked Zhao Hao with a smile.

    "Of course I will listen to the general's arrangements." After leaving the military camp, Zhao Hao changed his name to Qi Jiguang as "general". Naturally, he did not want to cause trouble to the other party.

    After all, Qi Jiguang today is no longer the all-powerful anti-Japanese commander in the southeast, but the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion with many mothers-in-law.

    "Then let's start with the firecrackers. This is a firearm that has been used since the beginning of the People's Republic of China." Qi Jiguang was very satisfied with Zhao Hao's caution. He has always believed that only making friends with cautious people is beneficial, and making friends with imprudent people is beneficial.  It will kill you.

    Hu Shouren picked up a fire stick-like thing and started filling it with gunpowder and projectiles.

    Zhao Hao and others all gathered around to watch, and saw that the so-called ¡®single-eyed gun¡¯ was made of wrought iron.  It is about three feet long, with a thin forearm, a fire door drilled at the bottom, a wooden handle on the back, and an iron ring on the front.

    Hu Shouren loaded the ammunition, inserted a fuse in the fire door, and put it under his armpit to face the straw man who was facing forward as a target.  He took the tinder from the soldier with his other hand and lit the fuse.

    Zhao Hao quickly ran away and covered his ears.  The disciples also hurriedly followed suit, but Zhao Shizhen's eyes widened with excitement as he watched the fuse burn out.

    Then there was a loud bang, grass clippings flying, and the straw man twenty steps away fell to the ground.

    The gray-white smoke coming out of the fire stick also enveloped Hu Shouren.

    "Ahem" Old Hu coughed repeatedly and threw the blunderbuss on the table.  "This thing requires two pairs of eyes and three hands to play well."

    "The most terrible thing is that you don't know where the projectiles are going after thirty steps away." Qi Jiguang said with a bitter smile: "This kind of old antique has too many shortcomings, the most important one is that it cannot aim. And it is too inconvenient to operate by one person, so now  The Shenji Battalion has been eliminated, and only the three-eyed fire blunderbuss used by the cavalry remains."

    As he spoke, he picked up a large fire stick with a thick bulge at the top and explained to Zhao Hao and others: "The three-eyed fire gun has three barrels cast into one, and the insides are connected to each other. After ignition, the three barrels fire in a salvo, and the hit  The opportunities will naturally increase.¡±

    Then Qi Jiguang picked up the fire stick, waved it a few times and said: "After the fight, it can also be used as a mace to fight against the enemy. It is very popular with the cavalry, so it is still equipped."

    After putting down the three-eyed fire gun, Qi Jiguang picked up a bird gun and solemnly introduced to Zhao Hao: "This is the main musket currently equipped by the Shenji Battalion."
