Chapter 803: Firearms

After the lively Lantern Festival, the people of Jinyiwei could finally breathe a sigh of relief and began to remove the lanterns one after another.

In the past few days of the Lantern Festival, it is not that there is nothing to do.

At night, a strong wind suddenly blew down, and several lanterns were blown down.

Because the candle inside the lantern was not fixed, the lantern burned directly.

Fortunately, it was discovered very early, and after opening the water tower, the fire was extinguished very quickly.

This kind of thing happened several times in a row, but everyone in Jean's Jinyiwei was nervous.

It was also after the Lantern Festival passed, and the lanterns began to be removed one after another, and the people of Jinyiwei breathed a sigh of relief.

They all felt that if this continued, their own nerves would be untensed.

After the Lantern Festival, Xiu Mu also ended completely, and the Xinghan Empire ushered in the first early dynasty of the year.

As the first early dynasty, Lu Chensheng couldn't go to court in the imperial study, so he could only wear a gown and come to the Chengtian Palace.

"St. Ann!"

The ministers bent down one after another, and their voices were mighty, dispelling the last bit of sleepiness of Lu Chensheng.

"Zhen'an, all Aiqing should sit down."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, and after the ministers thanked him, they all walked to both sides and sat down.

"What is the matter with Zhong Aiqing?"

"The minister has a book!"

Lu Chensheng's words had just fallen, and immediately saw a minister stand up, bow down and say.

"Say."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and said.

"The day before yesterday, I heard that there was a woman in Jiyun City, this woman's imitation of other people's handwriting has reached its peak, I am afraid that even the handwriting of the saint can be imitated, and there are some old poems of the saint in the world a few days ago.

However, after many verifications by the ministers, all the poems written by the saint are left out, and most of them are in the hands of the mother, and the paper used for this poem is the latest rice paper, and the poems written on the rice paper used by the saint before are just peach blossom poems, and it is concluded that this woman must have imitated the handwriting of the saint, which is a big crime! ”

The minister said in a deep voice, and his words stirred up a thousand waves.

The surrounding ministers immediately discussed a lot, and actually imitated the holy poems, which is a great sin!

"And that matter?"

Lu Chensheng frowned, the majesty of the royal family does not allow provocation, and it is not an exaggeration to dare to use this method to kill directly.

"It's true!"

The minister said with great certainty.

"Let the people of Jinyiwei go and bring this person back and check if there is someone behind him."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand? Said a word.

Gu Zhifang immediately received his order? Hurriedly went down and sent someone.

"The latest firearms of the research institute have been studied? Please move on the test firearms! ”

Lu Chensheng heard this? Suddenly got up, "The firearm has been researched?" Where? ”

"Firearms are weapons of mass destruction? The ministers did not dare to rush into the saint, so the firearms were not brought into the palace. ”

Bring this firearm in at will? Is this a capital offense? The men under him considered the surroundings and placed the firearms outside the palace.

"Go to the Makusho Garden, I want to see the power of this firearm for myself!"

Lu Chensheng's heart was hot, he didn't expect the development of this firearm to be so fast? If the power of this firearm is acceptable? Then you can start making it in large quantities!

The ministers responded one after another, but they wondered in their hearts, what is this firearm?

This thing has always been classified, and not many people know about it.

But listen to the name? It should be about the same as gunpowder, and I don't know how the firearm has been improved this time?

Ministers curious? I followed the left and right to Makushoen Garden, where there is a vacant lot? Extremely lenient.

It's going to be used to raise some rare birds here, but I haven't started raising them yet.

Lu Chensheng and Qiong Yue? Not very interested in this thing? So it's empty.

Firearms were also brought in subsequently.

A huge incomparable? A cannon made entirely of metal, and a flintlock pistol that looked much smaller.

In comparison, the artillery is particularly thrilling, making people feel that this thing is very heavy, but they don't know what to use it for.

As for the flintlock pistol, not many ministers paid attention.

And Lu Chensheng's eyes were more focused on this flintlock pistol.

"I'm going to try this?"

Lu Chensheng pointed to the flintlock pistol and said.

The researcher on the side was shocked when he heard this, "Holy no, although this thing is basically fine, but there is still a little risk, what if something happens?" ”

These words made Lu Chensheng dispel the idea of trying it himself, and nodded and let the other party start fiddling.

"How many times have this thing been experimented, but has it been blown up?"

Lu Chensheng looked at the other party loading the cannon and asked.

Artillery is still in danger, and this issue is extremely critical.

"Since this thing was born, it has never exploded, but it is just a matter of power."

The researcher replied immediately.

At present, the smelting technology has been greatly improved, and it is still very simple to make a cannon barrel, especially with the help of a steam engine.

If not, it would only be possible to build it little by little, and it would be too difficult to rely entirely on manpower.

And it is also a short handle in terms of quality.

After the reloading, Lu Chensheng retreated more than ten meters, and the cannon began to ignite.

The ministers all watched this scene closely, with a little curiosity in their eyes.

What the hell is it? And can this thing make their dynasty stronger?

These are the thoughts on their minds at the moment.

Finally, when the fuse was completely burned, a deafening sound sounded.

The ministers only felt that the sky had collapsed, and they could not hear any other sound for most of the sound, and there was a slight chirping in their ears.

And in the distance, a huge stone was directly blasted into pieces after a while.

When the ministers saw this scene, their hearts suddenly moved, the boulder just now was granite, right?

It's all easily broken to pieces, how on earth is this done? If this hits a person, won't it be torn apart?

Some of the more daring ministers, after coming back to their senses, asked for a hint on their bodies, and hurriedly ran to the granite place to check.

Some of the ministers were afraid of this cannon muzzle, and they were still facing the front, and they jumped down in horror and did not dare to step forward.

After a long while, the minister who came back took the split boulder in his hand, full of astonishment.

"Holy Lord, with this thing, my Xinghan army will be invincible!"

"This thing is used to siege the city, it is definitely a sharp weapon, I am afraid that if I come a few more times, any city wall will have to be destroyed!"

One by one, the ministers spoke, and their words were full of praise.

Lu Chensheng was also full of smiles, "I'm trying that flintlock pistol!" ”

"Yes!"

The researcher didn't talk nonsense, and immediately picked up the flintlock pistol and loaded it with great skill.

I only heard a crisp sound sound, and there was a hole directly on a target in the distance.

"The shooting accuracy is good, so let's practice a lot!"

Lu Chensheng looked at it and immediately appreciated.

Just these two firearms, the other party used them very satisfactorily.

Hearing this, the researcher scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "This thing is quite fun, so I played for some time." ”

Lu Chensheng didn't care, it was normal for the other party to like this gun or something.

This thing does have a different attraction for men.

"Well, the power is good, and the quality of the stuff is good."

Lu Chensheng took the flintlock pistol and looked at it carefully, the tube on it looked quite smooth, and the overall structure did not see any flaws.

As far as these are concerned, this batch of weapons is already qualified.

"Thank you for your compliment!"

It's not easy to get a compliment from the saint!

"Just start producing according to the specifications of this thing, and within three months, you will have to produce 10,000 expenses, 300 guns, can you do it?"

"This..."Hearing this number, the researcher suddenly hesitated, "Holy Lord, if it is a flintlock pistol, eight thousand should not be a problem, and I am afraid that there can only be a hundred."

There is a production line, and it is relatively simple to produce flintlock guns, but this gun will indeed be much more difficult. ”

The barrel of a flintlock pistol, with the help of a steam engine, can be drilled quickly, but this gun is different, and it is much more difficult.

Eight thousand?

This number seems to be okay, although it is still a little too little.

Lu Chensheng thought about it, and didn't care anymore, eight thousand is eight thousand.

"Well, if it's only eight thousand, then eight thousand, go back and start producing as soon as possible, and then distribute it to let the soldiers practice their hands, if this thing doesn't practice, its role on the battlefield will be much lower."

"Yes!"

The researcher responded and went down happily, for the things they developed, to be able to get the affirmation of the saints, this is the greatest reward for them.

The surprise on the faces of the ministers had not dissipated by this time, and they were still immersed in the shock just now.

The flintlock pistol, which was originally inconspicuous, they all felt that this thing was nothing, and it was not as good as this artillery.

After all, this cannon is so big, and when it fires, the sound is huge and the power is also great.

I never thought that when the flintlock pistol was powerful, I knew that the power of this thing was even more powerful.

At such a distance, directly punching such a hole, I'm afraid that ordinary armor will be difficult to resist, right?

If this is one person and starts shooting in unison, how powerful is that?

When they thought of this, everyone's hearts trembled, and they felt even more frightened.

But then, the faces of the ministers gradually took the place of ecstasy.

Such a weapon is now in the hands of their Xinghan Dynasty.

Today's saints are working hard, and they are still in the prime of life, and they have their assistance in addition, and they have such a big killing weapon in addition.

This Xinghan Dynasty will only become more and more prosperous!

At the thought of this, the ministers suddenly trembled with excitement.

At this moment, they all feel that a great dynasty is coming!

Previously, they were still a little worried about the saint's constant desire to expand the territory.

After all, the foundation is here, in case those dynasties join forces, the Xinghan Dynasty is afraid that it will be difficult to resist.

But now it's different, with such weapons appearing, those foreign armies can only be local chickens and dogs, and they are all vulnerable!

The more they thought about it, the more excited the ministers became.

At this moment, they are already thinking about the surrounding foreigners, which one is better to start cleaning up.

One day when they reigned, they also thought that they could expand the territory of the Xinghan Empire to the point that no one could match.

This is a deed that has gone down in history!

Their group of officials are definitely existences that can be recorded in the history books for future generations to admire!

Back in the palace, the ministers were still immersed in their fantasies.

After a long while, seeing that these ministers had not yet responded, Lu Chensheng coughed a few times, and looked at these ministers with some tears and laughter.

What's the matter, are you all scared by this cannon?

"Congratulations to the Holy God for obtaining this treasure, from this killing weapon, my Xinghan Dynasty will definitely come to the dynasty of all countries! The barbarians are all bowed down! ”

"Congratulations to the Holy One, this thing is really too powerful, and it will definitely be a problem for the Holy Lord to expand its territory with this thing!"

The ministers came back to their senses and immediately shouted one by one, and the excitement on their faces could be seen by anyone.

It turned out that they were excited about the power of this artillery, and they thought that these people were still shocked by the power of the artillery.

Lu Chensheng shook his head in his heart, and waited until the ministers quieted down before continuing to go to court.

They didn't go on to say anything about the artillery, let them see the flintlock pistols or something, so that when the time came, the ministers didn't have so many worries.

As the emperor, he sometimes needs to consider the thoughts of the ministers, and it is not good to do too much if he insists on going his own way.

If the minister thinks that his words will not work at all in the Holy Lord, he will gradually give no advice in the future.

Directly let the emperor play alone, and the emperor alone can't govern such a big country.

The ministers also calmed down, and the future glory also needs to start now, and they immediately began to discuss the government.

It wasn't until the third pole of the day, seeing that the political affairs had been almost dealt with, that Lu Chensheng announced his retirement from the dynasty.

When Lu Chensheng returned to the harem, Qiong Yue immediately stepped forward to ask about the loud noise just now.

Although it was already known that it seemed that Lu Chensheng was doing some experiments, the palace maid did not give an exact message about what it was, which made Qiong Yue still a little worried.

Seeing that Qiong Yue was worried, Lu Chensheng remembered that he hadn't said hello to them yet, but it made them worry in vain.

Immediately, Lu Chensheng calmed down and told the third girl about the artillery.

"Artillery?"

The performance of the three daughters is different, Qiong Yue and Lin Yu are naturally happy, the dynasty has such a powerful thing, Bai Yide's face is also a little happy, but also a little weird.

If there is such a thing, then the strength of the army will definitely increase dramatically!

Gunpowder was already very powerful, but now with artillery, it seems to be even more powerful.

However, this artillery, listening to the description of the husband, seems to be too cumbersome, I am afraid that it is inconvenient to carry, and it is easy to affect the timing.

As for the flintlock pistol, it seems to be okay, but it doesn't seem to be as good as the artillery.

Bai Yi had not yet seen the power of this flintlock pistol, and at this moment, with the description of Lu Chensheng, he simply had a vague concept in his heart.
