Chapter 722: Sword to Spear

During the Warring States Period, the attitudes of different countries towards Mohism were different, but the nature was the same. To squeeze the use value, for South Korea, increasing commercial activities is one of the main ways to increase fiscal revenue. The arms trade is one of the most profitable businesses in this type of trade.

But the Mohists opposed this endless arms trade. Especially the South Korean trade section, which is in the middle and important link. The Mohists used a radical, violent method that surpassed the bottom line of the law to block this endless arms trade. This has involved Qin's arms dealers, because their stocks have fallen by three points as a result of this report. At the same time, it also hurts those South Korean businessmen who rely on the arms trade to make their fortunes.

The Qin government and the South Korean government are transforming their functions. From the original specialized management government, it began to be fully liberalized to become a market service government. The difference between this is that the government has active guidance instead of active service. The dominance of the government gave way to the market. At the same time, the government has become a link in the market, a service organization.

When hurting the interests of the businessmen of the subject of business activities. In order for the government to preserve its fiscal revenue, they are obliged to ensure that the interests of businessmen are not violated. Only in this way can businessmen pay more taxes. Under such circumstances, Mohist school became one of the blacklists. Because they seriously interfered with the development of commercial activities.

However, the current government's attention is not all on the Mohist school, but mainly on rectifying internal government officials. This problem must be properly resolved. This is what Zhang Liang realized.

The national government force has not yet realized the reason for the existence of this unorganized force. In the Warring States Period, there were many chivalrous men who were only looking for the value they believed they recognized. There was no standard for this value. It exists as a virtue that people see.

There were many such righteous men in the Warring States Period. Just like the various knights in life later on. They abide by what they believe to be morality, and people value this morality extremely. For example, the faith between friends, and the righteous way in the world, etc. These things are vague and unsettling. On the contrary, the value of the country’s legal existence is to provide for tangible provisions, which are based on a country’s guaranteed reputation system, and personal faith and worldly righteousness are standard. But people always value personal morality, and their views are always so strange. Therefore, various knights appeared.

But now society is different. In particular, developed commercial activities have not allowed this kind of faith without a solid material foundation to guarantee. A legal existence established on a public reputation platform requires that such a fiduciary system cannot exist. Society is a community, not a single individual. Private presence. Under such demands, the knights, especially the moral knights of the Mohist family who regard themselves as their standards, should be severely attacked.

But Xianza is not the time to fight against this kind of knight. Because the appearance of the musket is testing the survival environment of the knights, this kind of survival environment struggle has not yet shown this kind of knights sharply.

"Bang." With a clear gunshot, a swordsman fell tragically. The ordinary person with the pistol blew the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle.

"I'm looking for death, any time. A broken sword can scare people. I want this now. I yeah." That ordinary man was a local famous rogue, and this rogue was brutally killed by the soldier who killed him. I have learned a hard lesson, the rogue's left hand was cut off with three fingers, but the appearance of gunpowder weapons changed this contrast in power. Relying on the chemical energy generated by gunpowder to propel the bullets forward at high speed, no soldier can effectively avoid sudden attacks quickly. Rogues succeed by relying on sneak attacks.

This scene took place in the northern part of Yan State. That is the area north of Yanshan Mountain. But this also shows the fact that the sword in the hands of the knights can no longer be compared with the guns in the hands of ordinary people. Traditional swordsmen began to be struck by muskets. But some swordsmen bravely abandoned the sword in their hands, and they began to take the initiative to accept this new weapon. One of them. This person is Jing Ke.

"What is this?" Jing Ke asked at a stall selling arms and firearms in the northern market of Yan State.

"This is a good thing. Now everyone buys this self-defense. This thing is hundreds of times faster than that of the soldier's sword. Let me put it this way, if you have seen lightning, this thing is even more lightning-like." The vendor was excited. Introduced. Because Jing Ke dressed up like someone from outside. It's the kind that I haven't seen anything. Moreover, the vendor saw Jing Ke's exposed gold. This is a good thing. Therefore, he thought that he could deceive Jing Ke to buy musket weapons.

"Oh. Can it really be faster than lightning?" Jing Ke asked.

"That is, that is. Don't believe me, you can try it." As he said, the vendor began to pick up a point 35 revolver made by Qin State.

"Look." The vendor broke off the hammer, then pulled the trigger.

"Bang." A gunshot sounded. The people around didn't even look at it. Because they have become accustomed to the marketing methods of this arms dealer. Test gun is the highest marketing method.

"Quick. Fast enough." Jing Ke said in surprise.

"I want this." Jing Ke threw out the gold in his arms.

"Is there anything better than this?" Jing Ke asked.

"Yes. Like this." The vendor immediately took out a spear and said.

"Oh." Jing Ke nodded and saw.

"This is Qin's latest rifle, with a revolving back-pull bolt." The vendor demonstrated it again.

"Using a magazine design, it can load five rounds in an extreme time. That's it." The vendor said that he pulled the bullet to withdraw the bullet.

"Using Qin's latest pointed bullet. Qin said that the speed is more than twice the sound." The vendor said.

"What's more than twice as loud?" Jing Ke asked.

"That's it. How do you say it. In the blink of an eye. You can fly as far as 800 steps." The vendor introduced. There are currently two types of bullets manufactured in Qin. One is a pointed bullet that pursues speed and accuracy. This bullet is the latest bullet developed after the advent of smokeless powder. No one knows the specific performance. However, the only certainty is that this bullet is used on the machine gun. The range of the bullet has been greatly improved. And the killing effect increases with the increase of different bullet diameters. This specific data is under study. This is related to the penetration and speed of the bullet, and the rolling effect of the bullet after it hits the body.

The other is the round-headed bullet that was more common before. This round-headed bullet is mainly reflected in the lethality. Round-headed bullets have good tumbling effects. Especially the huge wound area can knock down the opponent at one time. This kind of bullet is mainly used in valve rifles, especially on the battlefield of the Western Regions. This bullet can achieve the effect of one shot at close range. Many soldiers in the Western Regions are willing to use this bullet.

The two kinds of bullets have their own advantages, and there is no difference between them. But history has proven that pointed bullets have great advantages. Especially the range and rate of fire have great advantages. And traumatic effect. The caliber of this more rifle has a lot to do with it.

"Well. This takes me too." Jing Ke picked up the rifle and pistol, took a lot of bullets and left. The merchant got the gold he most wanted, and both sides had their own advantages. There are not a few curious people like Jing Ke who buy firearms. In Qi, some swordsmen began to make their swords smaller and shorter. Moreover, it is made of special steel of Qin State, and the blacksmith of Qi State discovered another craft in the process of forging. Quenching process. This technique was quickly used on the dagger. The short sword also began to add some special functions. For example, the function of a saw. The size is getting smaller and smaller. But it is still longer than the saber in the current sense. Big. But there is a tendency to approach the saber. Army sword.

But this kind of saber only exists as the second weapon of Qi swordsmen. And their first weapon turned out to be the Type 17 pistol made by Qin State. They began to hide the sword in their hands as the second weapon, and the pistol became their first weapon. These swordsmen were renamed Gunners. They practice shooting skills, such as the speed of drawing a gun, the accuracy of shooting, and so on.

And some other archers. Shooter. They eliminated the original bows and arrows, crossbows and other long-range shooting cold weapons, and instead used long rifles as their weapons. They can hit distant coins from a distance of eight hundred steps. It is worth mentioning that they do not have any optical sights at all. Even Qin Guo just tied the telescope to the firearm and used it as an early sniper rifle. However, at this time it cannot be called a sniper rifle, because the concept has not yet been formally put forward.

But it needs to be pointed out that swordsmen and sharpshooters in the traditional sense have begun to accept new weapons. This weapon is a pistol rifle weapon represented by gunpowder and smokeless powder. And, this extended a new role. Gunman.

The gunmen came from two places. One is a traditional swordsman. They rely on this to eat. And the other comes from the war. Especially the war has trained a large number of excellent gunmen. The actual combat significance of these gunmen is even stronger. Especially Qi State. The Qi army is equipped with a large number of new long rifles. And these long rifle pairs are given to the gunmen who are best at shooting in the combat unit. They were the early snipers. They are specifically responsible for combating two types of targets.

The enemy's officer. Yan, Zhao, South Korea, and Qin all have standard military uniforms, and special combat uniforms have not yet appeared. This exposed the position of the officer from the side.

The other target is the local machine gunner. Especially the machine gunner in the bunker. They can use rifles to accurately shoot those machine gunners. This can save a lot of precious lives and explosives.
