The founding of the Ming Dynasty began with tricking Zhu Yuanzhang into recognizing him as his fathe

"Third uncle, you're awake. A gentle voice sounded beside him, and then Fang Yu felt that he was half-lifted by a pair of dexterous but powerful hands, and then a bowl of cold water was brought to his mouth.

After

gulping down the water in the bowl, Fang Yu felt much better, and turned his head slightly to see Ma Baoshan's daughter Ma Xiulian.

"Eldest niece, where is your father?" got up from the bed and asked Fang Yu.

"Third uncle, my dad took everyone to treasure hunting. Ma Xiulian said: "Brother Chong also went with my father. "

No wonder, Fang Yu didn't see Zhu Chongba, it turned out that he went out with Ma Baoshan.

"Can I go out for a walk?" Fang Yu asked as he stretched out of bed.

"Yes. My father said, you are the third master of the village, where do you want to go. My father also asked me to accompany you, the third uncle. Ma Xiulian said.

"Okay! Let's go out for a walk!" With Ma Xiulian's support, Fang Yu slowly walked out of the house.

Although Fang Yu, whose leg was still broken, walked very slowly, he still walked through the entire village, of course, a little higher, he couldn't climb up, so he had to give up.

Most of the people were taken out by Ma Baoshan to hunt for treasures, leaving only a few sentry, the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled, and some children.

The

older people planted vegetables in the open spaces in the cols, the children roamed the mountains, and some women formed hunters' teams to hunt game in the mountains and improve their food.

In the final analysis, this cottage is actually just a village in the mountains, but there is no need to worry about the exploitation of the Yuan people, and what you get from your labor is your own.

However, after turning around, Fang Yu still saw that the entire village was short of food.

Although there are chickens, ducks, and pigs in the village, most of them have vegetables. Moreover, there is a shortage of daily necessities such as salt cloth in the village.

Fang Yu recalled that the meal he ate yesterday was indeed very light, and even the barbecue meat could not taste salty.

"This is here?" Fang Yu asked curiously, looking at a locked room in front of him.

"Oh, this is a place to put some useless stuff. Ma Xiulian explained.

"Useless things, can I go in and have a look?" Fang Yu was a little curious.

"Yes. With that, Ma Xiulian kicked open the door of the house, startling Fang Yu a lot.

"I don't know where this key is, since the third uncle wants to see it, just kick it open, it's okay. Ma Xiulian still said gently, without the slightest appearance of violence just now.

Fang Yu smiled, and then walked into the room.

Inside the room were some broken leather armor, and knives that cut through the gaps. Anyway, it's just putting something that doesn't work.

They were piled up in dense clusters, and a layer of ash had fallen on them.

"Hey, what are these?" Fang Yu suddenly saw a dozen long things in the corner, he seemed to think of something, and walked forward quickly.

Pulling a metal pipe out of the garbage heap, Fang Yu shook off the dust on it, and then a half-human-tall firearm appeared in front of Fang Yu.

In fact, in ancient China, thermal weapons were used on the battlefield very early.

In history, in the fourth year of Tang Aizong's reign, when Zheng Fan, the general of Huainan Yang Xingmi, attacked Yuzhang City, he used the "flying fire" to burn the Longsha Gate of Yuzhang City. This case is generally considered to be the earliest example of gunpowder weapons.

Subsequently, in the Song Dynasty, the assault rifle appeared.

The assault gun was actually a thick bamboo tube with a small opening in the middle of the bamboo tube to ignite the gunpowder placed in it. A wooden stick was sleeved on the back for hand-holding.

When firing, gunpowder is poured first, and then stones or iron beads are inserted. Then use a wooden stick to hold the bamboo pipe with your left hand, and light a fire with your right hand to shoot stones or projectiles. The effective firing range is up to 100 meters. However, because it is made of bamboo, it is basically a disposable weapon.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the material used to make the barrel of the assault rifle changed from bamboo to metal. At first, it was cast in copper and called "copper firebolt", and later it was cast in pig iron and called "iron firebolt".

Although the material has changed and can be used multiple times, the reloading method of the gun still requires the gunpowder to be loaded before firing, and then the ammunition is reloaded. After a firing is completed, the burning debris in the gun needs to be discarded, and then refilled with gunpowder and ammunition before it can be used again.

"This is a fire gun, right?" Fang Yu asked, looking at the big iron rod in front of him.

"Yes, I guess so. This was obtained a long time ago when my father ambushed a group of Yuan soldiers. But my dad said it wasn't easy to use, and it wasn't as powerful as a bow and arrow, so he just threw it here. Ma Xiulian said.

It is true that today's firearms are not as powerful as bows and arrows. It has a short firing distance and a slow firing speed. Generally, you can only fire four or five rounds a minute, which is still familiar, and it is already very good for a novice to be able to fire one round a minute.

It is estimated that five or six rounds of bows and arrows have been fired in one minute, so firearms were not very popular with the army at first.

But who is Fang Yu? He has traveled from the modern era! He knows that firearms represent the future and represent lethality!

Looking at the dozen or so iron pipes in front of him, Fang Yu asked, "Can you find someone to help me transport these things out?"

"Third uncle, what do you want these iron lumps for? These are not as powerful as bows and arrows! My father has a good bow, and if you want to play with it, I can take it out." Ma Xiulian said.

"Good niece, you don't understand. Just help me get them out. Fang Yu said.

"Okay. "

Seeing Fang Yu's insistence, Ma Xiulian went out to find a few and moved all the fire guns in the house outside.

Fang Yu counted, there were eighteen good guys in total. These firearms should be uniformly manufactured by the Yuan army, and they are very similar in size and length, which can be regarded as standard weapons. However, because it has been left in the house for a long time, there is more or less some rust on the firecracker.

Someone used a whetstone to polish all these firecrackers, and the shiny iron pipes revealed the luster of metal.

Seeing these firecrackers, Fang Yule blossomed. These things that seem useless to others are treasures in Fang Yu's eyes!
