Wang Yue had a very bad impression of Daming's firearms. The main reason is not that the technology is backward, on the contrary, although the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are not unparalleled in the world, there are still many commendable places.

The real issue is attitudes towards firearms.

You know, this thing is not the same as knives, guns and clubs. Ordinary spears and knives also need regular maintenance, and there is nothing to smear with oil to prevent rust. In this way, sharpness is guaranteed.

Firearms are much more complex than cold weapons, and require more than 10 times more maintenance.

However, from top to bottom, in the entire army, there seems to be no such concept, maintenance is not good, manufacturing is not good, and training is not good...... Ordinary soldiers actually piled up the guns like knives and guns, damp, rusty, and deformed...... No matter how serious the problem, they seem to turn a blind eye.

When it comes time to shoot, the explosion will inevitably be injured.

Conversely, the more the chamber is blown up, the more frightened the soldier becomes, and every time he uses a firearm, it is like going to the place of execution.

Unfortunately, every time someone does get lucky...... As a result of this in the long run, even characters like Wang Yangming are desperate for firearms, and feel that riding and shooting bow horses is the royal way.

The prince didn't know what to say, he obviously drew a divine sword, but he used it to sharpen a pencil, it was really a tyrannical thing!

Not to mention the firecracker, even the gunpowder.

Generally poorly preserved, damp, condensed into lumps.

Wang Qiong sighed in a low voice, "These are useless, let's throw them away." ”

Before Wang Yue could speak, the soldiers came over, took iron rods, and were about to break up pieces of gunpowder and transport them away, and throw them away! ”

"Wait!"

Wang Yue suddenly waved his hand, and the soldier was so frightened that the iron rod almost fell off.

"Do you dare to beat gunpowder, or use an iron rod, you don't want to live anymore!" Wang Yue hurriedly walked over, stretched out his hand and carefully buckled a piece, and then slowly crushed it in his hand, and the gunpowder turned into particles the size of sesame seeds...... Wang Yue stared at these particles thoughtfully.

Wang Qiong saw that his expression was abnormal, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Wang, do you know gunpowder?" ”

"Wang Bingbu, you have people choose the best fire gun and try it with this medicine!" Wang Yue instructed the soldiers to take out some pieces of gunpowder, crush them with wooden sticks, and then use a sieve to leave granular gunpowder.

By this time, someone had already brought the firecracker.

Wang Qiong said to his relatives: "You go, something happened, the old man rewarded you with a hundred taels of silver!" ”

"I'll give five hundred taels!" Wang Yue took over the words, "Your experiment is very important, I will report the results to Your Majesty, if it succeeds, you will be the hero of the development of Daming Firearms, and the official is at your fingertips!" ”

The entourage didn't know who to listen to at all, so they could only look at Wang Qiong stupidly.

Wang Qiong coughed: "What a fool! Listen to Lord Wang, his words are right! ”

The retinue finally mustered up the courage and set up a row of targets ten feet away.

Bang!

A burst of gunpowder smoke rose, the body of the attendant shook violently, and the bullet did not hit the target, but his face changed, something was wrong, why did it seem to be a lot stronger?

He cleaned the pipe again, and when it was passed with an iron bar, he was also taken aback, and there was significantly less scum left in it. What the hell is going on?

This entourage was also from an old army, and he was no stranger to firearms, and it was really strange that he had encountered such a situation for the first time. The guy forgot about the danger and hurriedly stuffed gunpowder into it and shot.

Bang!

Bang!

When the third hit is hit, a target shatters.

At this time, even Wang Qiong saw the way.

"Stop first!"

He hurried to the target, grabbed it and looked at it, and suddenly grinned!

"Good! This is a big fire! Even a hard crossbow can't compare! ”

The useless fire gun suddenly had an advantage, which made Wang Qiong overjoyed.

He went to the front of his entourage again, snatched the steaming firecracker, and looked inside and out, it was indeed a firearm in the army, and it was of better quality at best.

In this way, it is a meritorious service of gunpowder!

"My lord, you see, after the beating, there is less scum left in it, and it is easy to clean up, and the small ones are much faster than before."

Wang Qiong was pleasantly surprised and nodded again and again.

By the time he turned to Wang Yue, his old face had already changed from budding to blooming in an instant, and it was extremely brilliant.

"I said, Lord Wang, you are really a genius! This is God's bestow! Wang Qiong came to the momentum of slapping the horse again, "Turn decay into magic, turn stones into gold, little Wang, you are extraordinary!" No, the old man wants to ask for credit for Lord Xiao Wang, such a great achievement, non-knighted people can't calm people's hearts. ”

Wang Yue hurriedly waved his hand and stopped Wang Qiong, is it worth blowing like this for a mere particle gunpowder?

But since Wang Qiong said it, it's not bad to get a new official for yourself. After all, Zhu Houxi is getting married, and it is reasonable to promote his cronies to a higher position.

In fact, in the eyes of the government and the opposition, the emperor's marriage can represent adulthood.

Before the wedding, she was still a child, so like the Empress Dowager Jiang, she has a lot of right to speak, if she doesn't speak, others will stand on the side of the Empress Dowager Zhang.

But if Zhu Houxi gets married, it is best to have another piglet, and he will be treated as an adult, not to mention that the harem has stopped, and even if he promotes his cronies, there will not be so much criticism.

With Wang Yue's current status, if he goes up, he may be mixed with a waiter or something. If you are knighted, you can also get a count or something like that......

He was thinking about something beautiful, when he suddenly felt the ground shake under his feet...... "What? Is it the earth dragon turning over? Wang Qiong exclaimed, this old man is really good, stretched out his hand to protect Wang Yue, "Run!" ”

Wang Yue was a little calmer than the old man, and he felt that the voice was coming from behind him, not from his feet. Wang Yue hurriedly turned around, only to see a dark and heavy cloud of smoke rising into the air!

"It's not an earth dragon, it's a fire dragon!"

Wang Qiong rubbed her eyes and saw clearly, "Ah! That, that's the southwest of the capital...... It's Wang Gong Factory! It was gunpowder that exploded! ”

The old man's voice changed, his legs kept shaking, and he was dying.

"King, Lord Wang! You tell us ...... Is there a ......?"

"Of course not!" Wang Yue said categorically: "Didn't we stop carrying half an hour ago?" ”

Wang Qiong grinned bitterly, having said that, if something really happened and the justification was unclear, it would be over!

"Lord Wang, you hurry up and enter Beijing, the old man sent people to block the four cities and surround Wang Gongchang, if someone dares to set fire to it, the old man will not be polite!"

Wang Qiong was murderous, and finally revealed the true colors of the old fox.

If something happens in the capital, it must be an earth-shattering event.

And it's very likely that you can't say clearly, and when the time comes, you will be caught with the scapegoats, and if they are implicated, it will be unlucky.

Wang Yue agreed with Wang Qiong's approach, because he also felt that this time the gunpowder factory suddenly exploded, and things were very strange.

If someone has bad intentions, they will definitely think of prevarication. Even if it is an accident, someone will make a big fuss, and you can't help but guard against it!

"Wang Bingbu, this matter will be handed over to you, I will enter the palace now and greet the saint!"

Wang Yue hurried back to the city, in fact, they were outside the city, and they were still a little far away, and they were not so clear about the power of the explosion.

But as Wang Yue entered the city, he felt that things were terrible, black smoke everywhere, firelight everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder smoke hit the pungent nose.

Sure enough, it was a gunpowder explosion!

At this moment, in the northeast of Wang Gongchang, the center of the explosion is already full of messes, on both sides of the main street of the criminal department, huge locust trees have fallen to the ground, broken limbs, mottled bloodstains, and wailing people, as if it has reached the end of the world.

The most unfortunate ones are the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

After the explosion sounded, the huge shock wave wiped out the tiles of the criminal department, and the stone lion in front of the door also rolled out a long way, and there were several old houses, which collapsed directly because of disrepair.

It's good to die, Yan Song was checking the previous case files in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and when he heard the explosion, he hurriedly ran out, but as soon as he went out, the door behind him collapsed and smashed firmly on Yan Song's back.

Yan Song immediately fell, and what was even worse was that his head was hit by a floor tile and he fainted directly.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is in chaos, the Criminal Department is in chaos, and even the entire palace has not stopped.

The huge explosion threw the wood, stone, bricks and tiles into the air, and then fell again, and the palace was also within the range of the attack, and many panicked palace people were smashed on their heads and bled out, wah, wah, wah, wah, wow.

The shelves outside the Queen's Bedroom, which was being renovated, collapsed, and the beams rolled down, injuring several people.

There are even tongues of fire rushing into the palace, and there are too many wooden buildings in Ouchi, and the flames are rising into the sky. Some people are crying and running for their lives, and some people are rushing in to put out the fire, and it is a mess, it has become a pot of porridge!

At this moment, everyone is concerned about the safety of the Son of Heaven.

The three cabinet elders who were still on duty in the cabinet, including Yuan Zonggao, Jiang Mian, and Jia Yong, all came, and they had just arrived, and Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, was also late.

Jia Yong was in a hurry at the moment, and when he saw Yang Tinghe, he roared angrily: "Elder Yang Ge, you are late, what is your intention?" ”

Yang Tinghe glared at Jia Yong fiercely, "Your Majesty is here?" ”

Jia Yong was speechless when asked, "I, how do I know!" ”

"Then go find it!" Yang Tinghe's eyes were red, and he roared angrily: "No matter what, Your Majesty can't make a mistake, otherwise you and I will have to cut ourselves to thank the world!" ”

Yang Tinghe rushed to the front.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly spread, "Don't worry, you elders, I'm fine!" Zhu Houxi was wearing a Taoist robe, and a red-faced young man behind him, dressed in a flying fish suit, followed closely.

It's Lu Bing!

When the gunpowder factory exploded, it was earth-shattering, and Zhu Houxi felt that the ground under his feet was shaking.

He was frightened, and the little emperor casually grabbed a robe that he wore every day and draped it on his body. When he came out, black smoke filled the sky, tongues of fire splashed, and the palace was in chaos!

These people have also forgotten that there is another genius, and they are running around like headless flies...... At this moment, Zhu Houxi was really scared, as long as one person and a dagger could kill him!

And at this moment, a tall young man ran over, picked up Jiajing, and ran outside, when he saw that it was Lu Bing, Zhu Houxi was so moved...... But then he was angry, what the hell was going on? Who wants to harm me?
