Chapter 624: Zhu Houzhao, who suffers from misery
On a grassy field in the back garden of the Ganqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi and a group of ministers looked at a musket with a strange expression. Liu Huoer stood respectfully, with his head hanging down and he didn't dare to breathe.
But if you look closely at his expression, you will find that he is actually trying to hold back his laughter.
Because at this time, Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers of the cabinet all looked at the bird gun one by one. It was just like he thought everything he saw from Cizhou to the capital.
However, after all, he is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty who is in charge of the world and still has domineering spirit.
Emperor Hongzhi finally gestured a few times, then said suspiciously and contemptuously: "Just just a firearm, He Runde dares to say that it is related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty?"
"It's simply exaggerating!" Zhang Yi took advantage of the situation and followed closely behind.
Although he didn't know what He Jin was doing, he knew one thing clearly: don't care what he was going to do, just object
"Reply to Your Majesty, this is by no means exaggeration. Moreover, Governor Pan also thinks so." Liu Huoer quickly turned his head and replied seriously.
Liu Jian still didn't believe it very much when he heard this, and he was even more angry and said, "This thing is indeed stranger than my Ming Dynasty's musket. But if you say something is related to the survival of the country, it is indeed too much."
As he said that, the old man pointed his gun at his eyes, as if he wanted to see what mystery was hidden in the empty gun.
Liu Huoer's face turned pale and she jumped up and shouted, "Be careful, you can't do this!"
In order to make the drill go smoothly, he had filled the ammunition in advance. And it was not Liu Jian who touched the trigger at this moment, but Xie Qian. If he accidentally pulled it, he would just pull it.
Who would have thought that Xie Qian, who had not dared to slap his fingers, was so scared that he suddenly pulled his fingers down because of his sudden reminder.
With a "bang", a ball of gunpowder immediately emerged from the muzzle.
Fortunately, Liu Huoer reminded him in time, and Liu Jian had moved the barrel of the gun. Then he was shocked to see that the hot lead bullets were sprayed out of the muzzle and hit the glazed tiles behind him, smashing the statue of the auspicious beast on the eaves of the palace walls.
With the gunshot, the birds in Houhuayuan flew up in shock. The old master Liu Jian, the headmaster, fell to the ground.
However, the old man's temper was so strong. He was so scared that he forced himself to say: "This thing is so sharp and domineering!"
Xie Qian was also panicked and quickly stepped forward to help Liu Jian up and apologized: "Mr. Liu, I didn't mean it. The fire gun was clamoring without fire, which was too weird."
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi, who saw Liu Jian's true ok, heard the clue from his words just now: "No fire is ringing? How can a fire gun be fired? Could it be that there is a demon who is causing trouble?"
Liu Huoer then stepped forward and put away the bird gun and explained: "Your Majesty, ministers, this is what Lord He is afraid of. It is not that it sounds without fire, but that it has been transformed into a fire that is automatically fire. It is there when the trigger is pulled, and there is no need to do it when it is not needed."
As he said that, he looked at Emperor Hongzhi and signaled that he wanted to practice.
Of course, Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand to agree. However, because of the "fire" just now, the ministers hurriedly called a team of guards and built a thick shield wall.
Liu Huoer quickly loaded the bullet and then hit the bull's eye fifty steps away. Then he loaded the bullet again, one shot after another, and three shots before stopping.
But after these three shots, Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers looked at each other.
Then Zhang Yi spoke and said in confusion: "Isn't the musket just like this? It's so ordinary, what's the point? He Runde actually said it's about the Ming Dynasty."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Wensheng suddenly shouted loudly and said, "Xia Chongyu Yubing is simply a laughing stock!"
At that moment, regardless of how Zhang Yi looked ashen, he waved his hand and asked the guards of the East Palace to bring a divine gun and said, "Your Majesty, He Runde is indeed foresighted and is a talent for the country's scholars!"
As he said that, he explained: "Your Majesty, please see, the bird gun is more advanced than the Ming Dynasty musket. First, there is a correct heart in front of the bird gun and a gate behind it, forming a aiming device; secondly, the curved gun support is designed, and the launcher can aim at the side of his face close to the gun support."
"There is also the gun barrel is relatively long, the range is long, and the lethality is also great. The most important thing is the firing method of self-propelled fire, which is not afraid of wind and rain, and there is no need to ignite the fuse in advance. The firing speed is three times that of the Shenji gun."
Speaking of this, Ma Wensheng pointed at Liu Huoer and asked, "You just fired three shots before stopping. Just to explain that the time when the Shenji gun fires one shot, it can make the bird gun fire three shots, right?"
Finally, someone who knows what he knows, Liu Huoer immediately put away his gun and bowed, saying, "What Master Shangshu said is very much. The goodness of this bird gun is pointed out without missing a single point."
Then, Zhang Yi was not convinced, of course, not all. The main reason was that he had never been in contact with military affairs and did not understand: "Even so, with this bird gun, what danger can the Ming Dynasty be with it?"
"Hmph, it's simply stubborn." At this time, it was not Ma Wensheng, but Yang Yiqing who spoke.
He also brought soldiers and immediately retorted: "Don't forget that this bird gun was seized from the Japanese pirates! Lord Shangshu can think about it. Now the Japanese pirates only have fifty bird guns, but in a few years, everyone may hold one."
"At that time, will Lord Shangshu ask my soldiers from the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Japanese pirates with the Shenji gun and bows that are far less than the bird gun?"
As he said that, Yang Yiqing was still angry and added: "If it was still the weather of wind and rain, the Shenji gun could not be fired, and the bow and arrow were hard to shoot for a long time, Lord Shangshu, come and tell me, how should I fight that battle?"
Zhang Yi was ridiculed so much that he subconsciously became angry and wanted to argue.
But before he could speak, Liu Daxia also spoke, his tone was quiet: "I'm afraid it's not just that. Runde has already said that this bird gun was just bought by Japanese pirates from overseas. At that time, the barbarians from overseas countries will also take this item, causing trouble to the Ming Dynasty. What should we do if we do it?"
As soon as Liu Daxia finished speaking, Liu Huoer interjected: "Your Majesty, ministers, He Tongzhi also said that this bird gun is just an elimination of foreign barbarians."
"People use a longer range and greater power. They directly fill the ammunition from the breeze. They can fire rifles anytime, anywhere, just tap the trigger."
As he finished speaking, Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers looked even more stiff.
Even Zhang Yi, who was dissatisfied with this, was a little enlightened at this time: it seemed that about a large number of foreign barbarians came over with such powerful and advanced firearms, and our Ming Dynasty could not fight at all.
If you say this, it really concerns the national destiny and the safety of the country.
At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi, who had a serious expression, turned to Mou Bin and ordered: "Let your trip and take my handwriting to bring that boy."
As soon as I said this, the rushing footsteps came hurriedly.
At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers were stunned and couldn't help but think: Isn't it so in a state of mind, is there something bad about it?
Then I saw Zhu Houzhao running over happily, jumping and shouting: "Father, you have good news. My brother somehow got a hundred warships and drove them to Tianjin Guard."
Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers had already read the Huaian news, so of course they knew what was going on.
When I heard that it was this, my expression was ok, how could I say that? I was so happy that I couldn't tell it anyway, but I looked at Zhu Houzhao strangely.
Zhu Houzhao then reacted and asked anxiously: "Father, everyone, isn't this a good thing?"
"Well, it's a good thing." Emperor Hongzhi didn't know where Xie Huoer came from. Anyway, after seeing Zhu Houzhao, he actually started fishing and enforced the law. He asked with a smile: "Zhaoer, so many warships were stolen from the Japanese pirates. Do you want to go and see?"
"I think!" Poor Zhu Houzhao was so stupid and naive. She was fooled as soon as she heard it: "The child came over and wanted to tell his father about this. Is this true?"
"Well, it's accurate." Emperor Hongzhi suddenly sneered and said, "It's OK to hit you ten times, so that you don't think about the main tasks all day long, and you're just thinking about going out of the palace to play all day long!"
