Second Chance Chapter 1691

In the crowd’s astonishment and amazement, Hu Zongxian shook his head slightly and said with some disappointment, “The bayonet mentioned by Sir Zhu is borrowed from the Singijeon gun. According to the “Great Ming Canon” records, Jingtai two years, the Shenji Battalion appeared in the Singijin gun, that is, in the mouth of the cannon into the short spearhead, used for assassination. However, the cannon only continued for a few years and then extinct, because the short spearhead directly into the mouth of the cannon, the cannon will not be able to fire, can only be used as an inserted head of the cannon, the cannon and the cannon can not be two tigers, and the cannon this tiger is also a crippled tiger, the cannon is inserted into the cannon, the connection is not solid, easy to fall off or loose, affecting the power, the actual battle is not as good as a tasseled spear, so the cannon soon phased out of the cannon, the cannon was not as good as the cannon, but it was not as good as a tasselled spear.So the Singijeon was quickly eliminated from the armament queue.”
After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, the crowd was enlightened as if they had been enlightened, and suddenly came to a realisation of what a bayonet was.
“Ah, it turns out that the Singijeon gun has been around for a long time, and was quickly eliminated from the armament queue, no wonder we haven’t heard of it.”
“Imperial Secretary Hu is really knowledgeable, worthy of knowing about the military. There isn’t a blade of arms that Imperial Secretary Hu doesn’t know about.”
“It turns out that the Singijeon that Lord Zhu borrowed from is just a short spearhead replaced with a stabbing blade.”
“It’s just replacing the spear head with a knife head, the problems of the Singijeon, the bayonet is no less, the Singijeon has been eliminated under the test of fire and time, and the bayonet, which has just changed its shape, will not be spared.”
After understanding what happened to the bayonet and the history of its elimination, the crowd took the high ground of public opinion again.
“Hehe, Lord Hu, Lords, I have indeed been inspired by the Singijeon recorded in the Daming Canon, but the bayonet I’m talking about isn’t just a difference in shape from the Singijeon, it’s fundamentally different.”
Under the disappointed, questioning gaze of Hu Zongxian and the others, Zhu Pingan smiled faintly and said softly.
After saying that, Zhu Pingan gently clapped his hands and nodded to the personal soldiers on the stage, giving a wink sign.
Soon, a personal soldier came up to the stage with a sample of a fire cannon and a bayonet and handed it over to Zhu Pingan.
After receiving it, Zhu Pingan placed the cannon on the table and picked up the bayonet with one hand, showing it to Zhang Jing, Hu Zongxian and the rest of the crowd, while speaking slowly: “Governor General, Lord Zhao, Royal Secretary Hu, and all of you, this is the bayonet, which is a great weapon that I have specially prepared for the firearms short-range fights. I have read the Ming Dynasty Canon of Singijeon’s short history of appearance and elimination, I have been pondering, Singijeon or cold weapons and cannons can only be a mountain can not be two tigers, there is me without him, there is a relationship between him without me?Can they coexist and complement each other?I thought deeply and painstakingly for a long time without being able to do so, and then once in a flash of insight, I was inspired by the iron hoop of the artillery, and thus the bayonet that I now have in my hand.”
“It’s a simple bayonet set, it’s set outside the muzzle of the cannon barrel, not shoved or inserted into the muzzle, and it doesn’t interfere with the cannon firing shots. It and the cannon are symbiotic, complementary and mutually fulfilling. It integrates the performance of the cannon and the spear into one; with it, the cannon soldiers will not need the protection of the spear soldiers or the sword and shield soldiers, and the cannon soldiers will not be afraid of any short fights. When the firearms beat the enemy battle formation to pieces, when the firearms give major killings to the enemy, when the enemy flees in fear or rushes to the front of the formation with heavy casualties, it’s the time to mount the bayonet and charge to reap the rewards.”
Zhu Pingan’s voice resounded in the minds of the crowd, like a lingering sound that could not dissipate for a long time.
Hu Zongxian looked at the bayonet in Zhu Pingan’s hand in a daze, a cylinder curved underneath stretched out a strange-looking bayonet, resembling a sword rather than a sword, resembling a gun rather than a gun, but rather two finger-thick conical shapes with three visually impactful prongs, about a foot and a half in length, looking hideous and murderous.
Can imagine it set in the mouth of the cannon, the cylinder set on the mouth of the cannon, this strange bayonet hanging below the cannon tube, will not affect the cannon shooting at all, end up is a spear.
At this moment, the faint disappointment in Hu Zongxian’s eyes had long since dissipated, replaced by a strong shock.
At first, he thought that Zhu Pingan had replaced the cannon gun with a cannon sword, and had been trapped in the thinking of the cannon gun of the “Daming Code of Conduct” to look at the bayonet in Zhu Pingan’s mouth, with a little sense of superiority and a little disappointment.
But never thought, Zhu Pingan also on the “Daming Huidian” in the Singijun this cold knowledge are very detailed, and even has long jumped out of the “Daming Huidian” Singijun case mortar, Zhu Pingan see the Singijun put shortcomings insufficient, but did not give up, do not think that the Singijun and Singijun is a mountain can not be two tigers, but pondering whether the two can coexist and complement each other!
Moreover, he not only so think, but also really think of a solution, do hundreds of years are considered impossible to do things.
Hu Zongxian looked at Zhu Pingan with a face full of complexity, his mood at this moment was far more than just shock.
The crowd was also shocked at the moment, and the smiles and disbelief on their faces had long since disappeared.
“Sleeved on the Singijeon tube, is the bayonet set firmly?Will it come loose in a fight? Is it sturdy?”
“Why is the bayonet in this strange shape?”
Even though Zhu Pingan had taken out a sample of the bayonet, there were still people who could not help but raise one question after another with doubt and scepticism.
“Of course it’s sturdy. I’ll mount it for everyone to see.”
Zhu Pingan said, picking up the cannon with one hand and the bayonet with the other, he put the socketed bayonet on the outside of the cannon’s tube.
If you look closely, you will notice that the cannon tube in Zhu Pingan’s hand is retrofitted with a protruding round hoop catch outside, while the bayonet’s sleeve has a recessed groove, Zhu Pingan aligns the bayonet sleeve briefly groove to the catchwood, and twists the sleeve after it’s in place, and the bayonet is firmly fixed to the cannon by the catchwood structure.
After installing the bayonet, Zhu Pingan handed the cannon to Zhang Jing with both hands. After checking it, Zhang Jing passed it to Zhao Wenhua, who looked at it and passed it to Hu Zongxian.
Hu Zongxian pulled hard a few times, and found that the bayonet was firmly fixed below the mouth of the cannon, not a trace of it loosened, it was too firm to be solid, stood up, put the cannon at his feet, and the cannon landed on the ground, and the tip of the bayonet was about the same height as the top of his head.
The length is shorter than the spear, but much longer than the Japanese sword, and the length of the weapon is advantageous when fighting with the Japanese.
Hu Zongxian tried to wield it again and felt the feel of it, then heartily lamented, “Sir Zhu deserves the talent of a scholar.”
The crowd also all passed the cannon around to check it out, making sure that the bayonet was firmly fixed by the card and mortise structure, and the scepticism in their mouths all slowly disappeared.
This bayonet was really something.
With the bayonet, the cannon soldiers can defend themselves, even if short combat, but also have the power to fight.
Zhu Pingan head how long, actually able to design this combination of cannon and cold weapons and a blade, really incredible, worthy of Lord Hu’s sentence worthy of the talent of the scholar.
