Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 714 Shotgun

Lin Feng designed the blueprints, and in less than ten days, all the parts were delivered to Kuncheng.

It took another three days to make some revisions.

Finally, Lin Feng successfully assembled a modern version of the shotgun.

As for the amount of gunpowder for the bullet, Lin Feng figured it out on his own, and live-fire shooting is needed to further adjust the data.

This job is quite dangerous, but it cannot be handed over to others.

When shooting live ammunition, Lin Feng needs to adjust the dosage based on specific feelings and data, and the design accuracy must be judged by feel, etc.

There was no other way, so Lin Feng asked someone to make a protective shield out of iron sheets, put himself in it, and hid his entire upper body in the protective shield.

The hand guards are movable, allowing the fingers to pull the trigger.

Then use a wooden frame to secure the gun.

Thirty-five steps ahead, a wooden board with white paper pasted on it was erected as a target.

Circles of circular targets were drawn on the white paper to record the specific data of each shot.

Lin Feng's four staff officers and a dozen guards watched him busy himself.

Finally, everything was ready and Lin Feng began the formal experiment.

He skillfully loaded the bullet into the chamber, pulled the trigger, and aimed at the target in front.

Lin Feng hid in the protective shield and pulled the trigger with his finger covered with a steel glove.

After signaling everyone else to stay away, he gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger.

As the firing pin hit the brass tail of the bullet, blue smoke first rose, followed by a loud bang.

The wooden frame shook.

Lin Feng felt his ears were shaken and he screamed.

However, the experimental data is not bad, and the shooting accuracy is also satisfactory.

At a distance of thirty-five steps, thirteen of the twenty steel balls in the bullet left marks on the target.

Lin Feng tried three shots, compared the data, and then began to make adjustments based on the three experimental data.

Although it only took half a month to produce, it took more than a month to conduct experiments and adjustments.

Finally, all the data of the shotgun were fixed before formal mass production began.

Lin Feng transferred Xie Chong back from Jingxi Prefecture, selected 500 people, and established a firearms battalion.

These five hundred people all came from Zhenxi. They were veterans who had fought with Lin Feng in many battles. They had all become grassroots officers, and some had even become generals.

Xie Chongze was appointed commander of the firearms battalion.

This will be Lin Feng’s secret force and also his trump card on the battlefield in the future.

The appearance of the thunder caused the Black Turban Army to collapse.

The appearance of the shotgun will cause the entire rebel team to collapse.

One can imagine how sad the despair in Prince Fu Zhao Zheng's eyes made his civil and military officials.

This was just Lin Feng's imagination. In fact, Emperor Taisho Zhao Zheng was not so desperate, but just looked dejected.

Facing the civil and military officials standing in the court, he remained silent for a long time.

With Lin Feng in the Dazong court, it is probably difficult for him to unify the country. He still has to listen to the advice of the national teacher Lan Yu and vigorously develop the economy to achieve a rich country and a strong army. This is the way out for the Dazheng Dynasty.

Faced with a large number of imperial guards, Zhao Zheng has ordered a full retreat.

In the north, from Lindu Prefecture to the northeast, it reaches Yanxin Prefecture.

The line from Jingdong Prefecture to Yongning Prefecture in the southeast forms two areas, east and west, dividing the bulk into two parts.

The Dazheng Dynasty had Luocheng as its capital, with eleven prefectures behind it.

Five of the prefectures and states are located in coastal areas, which are more economically developed than the northwestern region.

Therefore, Zhao Zheng did not suffer any loss.

Instead, it made the old ministers of Dazong Dynasty very sad.

A prosperous dynasty was divided into two countries after several years of war.

Emperor Taisho Zhao Zheng would stand at the highest point of Luocheng every day and look towards the Dazong Kyoto City in the southwest.

I was thinking about how I could enter the Imperial Palace and realize my wish of unifying the Taisho Dynasty.

His generals Luo Yunfei, Qiu Jie, Jing Zhaoheng and others are recruiting troops day and night, preparing to avenge the previous defeat and capture the capital city of Dazong for the emperor.

At present, their only major enemy is Lin Feng, the commander of the Imperial Guards.

As long as Lin Feng is killed, everything will be under control.

Unfortunately, this Lin Feng is like a stabilizing force for the clan, having gone through many storms but still standing firm.

It became a thorn in the heart of Emperor Taisho Zhao Zheng, tormenting his body and mind day and night.

On the other hand, Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Dazong clan was secretly delighted.

Seeing that the rebels were shrinking their defenses and dividing the territory into several areas, they no longer had any offensive intentions.

As long as his capital is stable and the rebels no longer come to harass him, he doesn't care whether he proclaims himself emperor or not. He should just focus on reciting poetry, painting, and living a life of luxury.

He simply ignored the memorials that piled up on his desk, causing the old ministers to cry out in grief day and night.

He hid in the bedroom, accompanied by two imperial concubines, drinking, having fun, reciting poems and painting, and was very happy.

Lin Feng didn't care what the two emperors thought, his own thoughts were very clear.

Actively prepare for war, ready to take over Lindu City, which is sandwiched between Kyoto City, Tianzhi City and Tongsheng City.

Lindu Prefecture City is a peninsula that extends into the territory of Dazong, like a nail driven into the territory of Dazong, threatening the security of Kyoto Prefecture City.

Of course, it also posed a considerable threat to Lin Feng's Tianzhi Prefecture, Shanglin Prefecture and Tongsheng Prefecture, and must be eliminated.

However, Zhao Zheng stationed 30,000 troops in Lindu City, which was considered a heavy force for defending a city.

Behind it is Luoxi Prefecture, and in the middle there is a large county town called Luolin County.

There were also tens of thousands of troops stationed there.

In order to defend the city of Lindu, Zhao Zheng invested heavily, with a total of more than 60,000 troops in two prefectures and one county.

Although Lin Feng is the commander of the Imperial Guards, it would be difficult for him to lead a large number of Imperial Guards out of Kyoto, more than 50,000 troops.

A Kyoto city only needs 20,000 imperial guards, and the remaining nearly 100,000 imperial guards are a waste of resources.

The Royal Guards are well treated, but with so many men and horses, the daily consumption is an astronomical figure.

Lin Feng felt that these imperial guards should be diverted to various prefectures and counties to play their role and share the consumption.

As for taking over the Lindu Prefecture City, it would be a good opportunity for part of the Imperial Guards to leave the capital and station in the prefecture city below.

It is also necessary to cooperate with Hu Jincai and Zhang Changyou who are stationed in Shanglin Prefecture and Tianzhi Prefecture in order to realize the possibility of retaking Lindu City.

Lin Feng was making plans in the Kuncheng Command Center, taking all factors into consideration. It was a very brain-intensive job.

Lin Feng was busy trying to recapture the city of Lindu.

Prime Minister Han Qi was busy with court affairs. The first thing he had to do was to collect this year's taxes from the seven prefectures controlled by Lin Feng.

Due to the war, the economies of prefectures and counties across the country were dragged down.

Only Lin Feng came from Zhenxi, and then he carried out vigorous reforms and developed the economy in the six prefectures he recovered.

Now, the people in these states are very wealthy, and there has been great progress in agriculture, handicrafts and commerce.

Seeing that they had all become rich, the imperial court must of course collect the taxes owed for many years. Otherwise, how could the imperial court survive?

Whether it is the salaries of officials or the military pay, the royal family is the biggest consumer.
