Both pistols are very small.
One is a fancy pistol given by Zhang Xueliang, and the other is a gun brand pistol borrowed from Chief of Staff Yan.
They use the same bullets and the caliber is 765.
According to folklore, One gun, two horses, and three mouths are mainly for the sake of smoothness.
In fact, the performance and power of these two guns are about the same, and the workmanship is extremely sophisticated.
The gun was placed on the table, and the empty magazine was taken out and put aside.
Chen Zikun said: "From today on, I will teach you how to use a gun, starting with the pistol."
Jian Bing said: "I know how to use it, there is no need to learn it."
Chen Zikun glared: "Who loaded the bullet for you, who pulled the bolt for you, can you hit the person standing five steps away?"
Jian Bing pouted and stopped talking.
"Listen to my instructions and start learning from loading bullets.
Each person takes a gun and loads bullets into the magazine."
Chen Zikun personally taught the two ladies how to use pistols step by step.
However, women don't like weapons by nature, so they can play with them casually.
Okay, if you really want to learn in a rigid way, you will become irritated.
"This gun is too heavy.
It's too heavy to lift."
Yao Yilei also complained.
She chose the gun brand gun, which was actually much lighter than the double-barreled shotgun she often played with.
"It's too heavy, try this."
Chen Zikun waved, Wang Degui took out the cannon box, closed the safety and threw it over.
Chen Zikun grabbed it and put it in Yao Yilei's hand.
"This one is heavier and not fun at all."
Yao Yilei said, still reluctantly picking up the gun brand.
Under the guidance of Chen Zikun, the two ladies loaded bullets, pulled the bolt, and switched the safety.
They familiarized themselves with it several times before starting to shoot.
The target was a large watermelon five meters away.
As expected, a magazine of bullets was empty. , none hit.
"Come again," Chen Zikun said.
The two women continued to load bullets with sad faces.
The young orderly Chen Qingfeng was almost drooling as he watched.
Chen Zikun handed him the shell gun: "Do you want to try it?"
Chen Qingfeng took the gun, skillfully opened the safety, squinted his eyes, leveled the gun body, aimed at the watermelon in the distance and pulled the trigger.
The watermelon turned into a red cloud and exploded.
"Boy, okay, who did you learn from?"
Chen Zikun was very happy.
"I learned from Uncle Wang, but I have never actually fired a gun.
This is the first time today."
Chen Qingfeng said embarrassedly.
"Yes, you can practice together, but I don't have a gun for you yet."
Chen Zikun told the truth.
He still had ninety rifles and no extra pistols.
In the back house of the county government, the sound of gunshots could be heard all the time.
For the personal safety of the two ladies, Chen Zikun devoted all his money to teaching.
After a short time, Yao Yilei, who had experience in using shotguns, gradually entered the harbor.

He squinted his eyes and held his breath.
Aiming at the target, he slowly pulled the trigger, suppressed the second fire, and fired decisively.
The bullets whizzed out, hitting the big watermelon, and the red flesh was all over the ground.
"Yeah, I hit it."
Yao Yilei jumped up and down excitedly.
Not to be outdone, Jian Bing raised his gun and fired.
The yard was filled with choking smoke.
At the same time, County Magistrate Liu and four soldiers were digging holes in the yard sweating like rain.
To be precise, they were digging for treasures, but they dug a hole.
Another pit was dug, and the land was dug over, but there was still no trace of the treasure.
According to Liu Youjin, also known as Zeng Jiao, his father was good at amassing money.
He worked as a county magistrate in Nantai for ten years and earned at least 300,000 taels of silver.
However, the documented properties and houses were only worth 200,000 taels of silver.
Two, and there are still one hundred thousand taels missing without a trace.
Nowadays, wealthy people always deposit their spare money in foreign banks in Tianjin and Shanghai, which is safe and earns interest.
Back then, it was not so convenient.
The old-school method was to dig cellars at home and store gold and silver. , The bandits can’t be found when they come, and the revolutionary army can’t search them when they come.
It doesn’t matter even if the house is burned to the ground, as long as the people are there, they can make a comeback.
However, even after looking through the floor tiles in each room, there was still no trace of the treasure.
After practicing their marksmanship, Chen Zikun and Liu Youjin sat together to discuss the whereabouts of the treasure.
"Could it be that you remembered wrongly?
There are not so many treasures at all?"
Chen Zikun asked.
Liu Youjin shook his head resolutely: "No, I checked a lot of files.
Nantai County used to be a wealthy county, and the property my father left behind is definitely more than this."
"Could it be that Xia Dalong took it?"
"It's impossible.
With so much gold and silver unearthed, the news will definitely leak out.
Besides, I've investigated Xia Dalong's expenses over the past ten years, and it doesn't look like he got a windfall."
Chen Zikun was worried.
He now had the 150 borrowed soldiers and seven or eight maids and servants.
Just eating alone every month was a huge expense.
He was sitting on nothing.
When the money was spent, he didn't need Xia Dalong to take action.
It's over first.
"Without money, we can't defeat Xia Dalong."
He sighed, and suddenly said: "I was patrolling outside the city recently and found a lot of neat wheat fields.
Why is no one collecting land taxes?"
Liu Youjin said: "That's Xia Dalong's land.
Half of the irrigated land in Nantai County belongs to his family.
Who dares to take his land?
In fact, most of the abandoned land in the county is hillside land and saline-alkali land.
Who would give up the real good land?"
"Hey, the current situation is that the poor have no land to farm, and the big households don't pay for food, so I said that the only taxes in the county are the city gate tax and the poll tax."
Chen Zikun said curiously: "The city gate tax is a tax.

Goods entering the gate are taxed.
I know this, but it seems that Beijing and Shanghai don't have this head tax."
Liu Youjin said: "No, that's right.
There is no poll tax in the Republic of China at all.
This is a public security donation set by the previous county magistrate.
The entire county's population, regardless of men, women, old and young, each person has a share based on their head, so it is called As a poll tax, this money is used to suppress bandits, but after so many years of suppression, the number of bandits has increased. " Chen Zikun thought thoughtfully: "The land tax is in vain, the taxes are levied excessively, the head tax scratches the ground, are there any other tax items?"
"Yes, why not?
There are stamps, furnaces, tooth shops, pawn shops, deed papers, liquor taxes, cattle taxes, business donations, paper donations, plaster donations, liquor license donations, cigarette license donations, tobacco and alcohol sales donations, There are things like slaughter tax and vegetable and cattle donation, but Nantai is too poor, so there is not much difference between having these tax items or not.
The one for the biggest head is still the head tax. " Chen Zikun said: "The villagers have been displaced.
The security team can only control the county town.
Even if they collect everything, how much money will they get."
Liu Youjin smiled bitterly and said, "That's what I'm saying.
I can't help but think of a way to deal with it.
All the public security donations were received in the 36th year of the Republic of China.
Do you think this amount of money can be small?"
"Are there many rich people in Nantai County?"
Chen Zikun suddenly raised a new question.
"Although bandits have been rampant in recent years and many fields have been abandoned, we cannot maintain a strong foundation.
The rich people in Nantai County are concentrated in the county seat.
However, in terms of quantity, there are still many poor people.
Why, are you going to start with them?"
Liu Youjin was a little surprised.
Chen Zikun nodded.
"Be careful.
Offending the local gentry is more serious than offending Xia Dalong.
It's hard for you to move forward."
Liu Youjin hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Chen Zikun said with a smile: "Who said I want to be a wealthy person?
I want to be tax-free.
This public security donation is the most harmful to the people, so let's take action on it."
"What did you say?"
Liu Youjin looked in disbelief.
"I said, I want to cancel the public security donation."
Chen Zikun was very serious and did not look like he was joking.
At noon that day, notices were posted at the four city gates of Nantai and the gate of the county government office, announcing the withdrawal of the security donation in the name of the military guard.
Immediately the county town was boiling, and the new Mr.
Chen did not complain.
He made a blockbuster move in Nantai City.
There are endless praises for the military guards.
"Master Qingtian."
Some county residents knelt down in front of the notice and shed tears.
Public security donations are nothing to the rich, but to these poor people, it is an extremely heavy yoke that they can't bear to break through.
When I was angry, I suddenly heard that the public security donation was cancelled.
It was like feeling like it had been raining for several months and suddenly it cleared up.
"Marshuai Chen is a man who does big things."

The squires all said this.
They didn't care about this small amount of money.
What they cared about was that Lord Chen, the guardian of the army, was finally going to war with Xia Dalong.
The security donation is the money used by Xia Dalong to support the security group.
If this source is cut off, the security group will not be able to maintain it.
Xia Dalong has been the emperor in Nantai County for more than ten years.
He can bear this tone.
For a time, people in the streets and alleys of Nantai County were talking about this earth-shattering event.
Tax reductions and exemptions are usually only encountered when there is a change of dynasty or in a disaster year.
The guardian envoy launched such an earth-shattering move when he first arrived, which really won a lot of money.
People's hearts.
However, the gentry still held a wait-and-see attitude.
The gentlemen carrying caged birds in the teahouse would ask each other when they met: "Brother Nian, what do you think about this?"
"In my opinion, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake."
"I think so.
Ginger is still spicier with age."
"Haha, we see the same thing, we see the same thing."
In the Xia family mansion, Xia Dalong couldn't help but sneer when he heard Captain Qiu's report: "It's tax-free, no wonder he thought of it.
If the security donation is cancelled, who will support the bandits and who will suppress the bandits in the security team?"
Qiu Fuzhao said: "Master, the man named Chen said that the public security donation will be cancelled.
He will have his own way to pay the brothers.
From now on, each person will receive five yuan a month, and double pay during the holidays.
I think he is farting."
Mr.
Xia sneered and said, "The man named Chen wants to buy people's hearts.
OK, then I'll give you a chance to show off.
Come here."
Qiu Fuzhao came up and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
Xia Dalong took off the jade pendant from his belt and said, "Take this thing and go find someone."
When he was going out, Qiu Fuzhao saw Xia Jingxi playing shuttlecock under the shade of a tree, so he stopped and watched for a while.
Miss Xia noticed that he was peeking and simply stopped playing.
"Sister, you played really well."
Qiu Fuzhao said with a shy face.
"Really?"
Xia Jingxi smiled brightly, and Qiu Fuzhao suddenly felt like his soul was gone.
His bones were not as heavy as two ounces.
When he woke up, he would have already left.
Just when Chen Zikun was about to show off his talents, a sudden but unexpected news extinguished all his enthusiasm.
Xu Hai's garrison envoy Chen Tiaoyuan sent people to urge the company to return to the formation as soon as possible.
These number 150 people are Chen Tiaoyuan's Guard Pistol Company, which is absolutely top-notch in terms of quality and equipment.
They were originally responsible for escorting the Jiangbei Guards envoy to take office, but they were retained by Chen Zikun.
Come, Xuzhou is in a hurry.
There is no telegraph or post office in Nantai.
Chen Tiaoyuan simply sent an adjutant with his own handwritten letter to inquire about the whole story and take the soldiers back with him.
This made Chen Zikun very embarrassed.

Old Chen was so righteous, but what he did was a bit unethical.
What is most important these days is not gold, silver, opium, or guns and cannons, but loyal and well-trained people.
Brother, this company must be returned even if it is needed again.
Chen Zikun wrote a letter explaining the situation, and gave the soldiers a month's military pay before letting them return to Xuzhou.
At dawn that day, a company of soldiers and horses left the county government compound and quietly left Nantai County and headed north.
The entire county was still asleep.
Except for a few wild dogs wandering at night, no one knew about Jiangbei.
The military guard has become a true polished commander
