"Bang bang..."

A burst of gunfire rang out, and five bullets instantly penetrated the thick wooden plank one hundred and fifty paces away.

Yan Xiongying nodded with satisfaction. The firearm built by the Ming Dynasty Military War Bureau did not disappoint him.

"Bang bang..."

Another burst of gunfire rang out, and a thick wooden plank two hundred steps away was once again pierced by a Mini bullet, and then two hundred and fifty steps away, the thick plank was still instantly pierced by a Mini bullet.

"Bang bang..."

When the fourth shot reached 300 steps, the four East Palace Guardsmen shook their heads and quit the test.

The target was a bit blurry and they missed it, but Yan Xiongying still hit it with one shot.

Yuan Gui and Zhao Yuanhua both looked surprised. This was the first time they had seen a three-hundred-step shot hit the target.

The effective range of the rifled gun is about 280 steps, and it still has strong lethality at 300 steps, making it difficult for ordinary gunners to hit.

Yan Xiongying loaded the ammunition quickly and aimed again at the target of 350 steps, but the target was also a little blurry. He shook his head and was about to give up.

It's not that he isn't confident in his shooting skills, it's that he doesn't want to shoot when he can't see clearly.

Hitting the target depends entirely on blindness, and missing the target in front of the crown prince is even worse.

At this moment, Manyi suddenly remembered something. He immediately took off his telescope and walked to Yan Xiongying and said with a smile:

"Boss, try this..."

While talking, Manyi placed a lens of the telescope on the rifle cover door.

The blurry target in the distance suddenly appeared clearly in front of Yan Xiongying's eyes. Yan Xiongying was overjoyed:

"Well done, brother, hold on tight and don't move!"

Manyi nodded, immediately sat next to him and held the telescope firmly. Yan Xiongying gently adjusted the muzzle of the gun, and then pulled the rifled trigger:

"boom……"

There was a gunshot, and the Mini bullet came out of the gun, spinning rapidly towards the target. It was still unclear whether it hit the target.

Yan Xiongying quickly got up from the ground and ran towards the gun target. Man Yi immediately got up and followed him without any hesitation.

When they saw that the thick wooden plank was penetrated by mini bullets, the two sharpshooters hugged each other happily...

Seeing their excited looks, Zhu Cixiang guessed the result. At this time, he also thought of the sniper rifles with scopes in later generations.

I was about to ask Zhao Yuanhua if there was a way to install a scope on the rifled gun, but found that Zhao Yuanhua was already studying Yan Xiongying's rifled gun and the telescope left by Manyi.

Seeing the crown prince coming, Zhao Yuanhua immediately asked:

"Your Highness, do you have any extra telescopes?"

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"Yes, can you install it?"

Another new discovery made Zhao Yuanhua very excited:

"Yes, it is very simple to install a scope. One telescope can hold two guns. How many do you need, Your Highness?"

Zhu Cixiang thought for a moment and said:

"We will equip five hundred for the time being. I will send someone to send the telescope over tomorrow!"

"Follow your orders"

The volley fire tactics do not require a scope, just equip the sniper.

Night warriors can also be equipped. When they are scouting the enemy's situation in the wild, they can more easily attack and kill the enemy's scouts.

As snipers, after Yan Xiongying and Man Yi discovered the effect of adding a scope to their guns, they were both so happy that they couldn't describe it. They immediately ran to Zhu Cixiang and bowed:

"Your Highness, adding a telescope will increase the range by more than fifty steps, and the accuracy will also be greatly improved. I will ask for instructions to install a telescope on the rifled gun!"

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"Installation. I have discussed with Zhao Yuanhua just now. Five hundred of them will be installed in the past few days, mainly for use in the sniper brigade and the night guard. Then you can check the quality of the bullets."

The two were overjoyed and hurriedly saluted Zhu Cihong again:

"Thank you, Your Highness, if there is no quality problem with the bullets, Jiannu will be in trouble..."

Yuan Gui took a step forward and bowed:

"Sir, since the range and accuracy of the sights can be improved, why not equip the army with them in large numbers?"

Zhu Cihong winked at Hu Bao, and Hu Bao immediately understood, smiled and patted his colleague on the shoulder:

"Hey, little kid, you don't know something. When faced with the rapid charge of the Jiannu Eight Banners cavalry, there is no time to aim and shoot. Only then can the most powerful damage be done by firing in unison."

They were also eunuchs who accompanied Zhu Cixiang, Yuan Gui stayed in the Military War Bureau and became a palm eunuch, and Hu Bao experienced several battles with the crown prince.

When it came to the charge and use of firearms on the battlefield, Hu Bao had obviously already surpassed Yuan Gui. After speaking, he proudly puffed out his chest, making everyone laugh.

Yuan Gui nodded humbly:

"Oh, our family really doesn't understand. Thank you father-in-law for reminding me. If you have the opportunity to play with our family in the future..."

Hu Bao shook his head in embarrassment and said with a smile:

"Eunuch Yuan, we can't make the decision in this matter. You have to discuss it with me!"

Seeing that Yuan Gui was a little regretful, Zhu Cixiang smiled and said:

"Yuan Daban, you are already the eunuch in charge of the Military Affairs Bureau, one of the Twelve Supervisors and Eight Bureaus of the Ming Dynasty. You are also the youngest head of the Military Affairs Bureau in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Helping me manage the Military War Bureau is as important as leading the troops to fight. Please do well.

Come on, I will not treat anyone who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty badly!"

Yuan Gui hurriedly knelt down to thank him:

"Thank you, Master, I will not let you down!"

Zhu Cixi bent down and helped Yuan Gui up:

"Ping Sheng, you and Hu Bao have been with me since childhood. I know you are loyal! Don't you like guns very much? Add a scope and keep one!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Yuan Gui happily gave him a gift again.

Even though Yuan Gui was just an eunuch, he was very measured in what he did. He never interfered with the normal production of the Bingzhan Bureau, and he never pointed fingers at the craftsmen and managers of the Bingzhan Bureau.

He only did what he should do and what was beneficial to the development of the military situation. As long as Zhao Yuanhua and the craftsmen asked for something, Yuan Gui would find a way to satisfy them.

The Bingzhan Bureau is now not only highly efficient, but also has a very harmonious internal staff, which has a lot to do with Yuan Gui's work style and coordinated management.

Yuan Gui was also good at using firearms. After the Bingzhan Bureau rifled gun was built, he tried it himself.

The little eunuch's marksmanship was very good, and he could almost hit the target at close range. Every morning, the craftsmen could hear the gunfire coming from Yuan Gui's residence.

Yan Xiongying and Manyi took their subordinates to carefully inspect the rifled guns and conical lead bullets made by Ming Dynasty. They did not find any problems, and then reported to Zhu Cihong:

"Congratulations to Your Highness, there is no problem with the quality of the bullets. You can equip them in large quantities in the future. The names of rifled guns are quite confusing. I hope Your Highness can give them a unified name!"

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"Okay, how about the Huangming rifle?"

Everyone present nodded in praise:

"It's a very powerful name, from now on it will be called Huangming Rifle!"

Manyi took the rifled gun that Yan Xiongying used just now and said with a smile:

"Your Highness Yingming, the Huangming rifle is even more powerful when equipped with a scope. Can you also give it a name?"

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly:

"This method was thought of by you Manyi. How about I rename it Manyi sniper rifle?"

Man Yi did not expect that the crown prince would be named after him, so he blushed and hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"Your Highness, no! How could a general be so virtuous that he should not be worthy of naming this gun?"

Zhu Cixiang waved his hand:

"The method you came up with is certainly qualified to be named in Manchu. Anyone who makes new discoveries in the future can name it after him!"

In the future, he wanted to be famous all over the world. Manyi burst into tears of gratitude and hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude:
Chapter completed!
