Great General Blue Jade! When Li Jie heard Zhu Biao claim that someone came as his uncle, he immediately guessed the identity of the other party, because Lan Yu's sister is Chang Yuchun's wife, and Chang Yuchun's daughter is Zhu Biao's first princess, although Chang died early, but this relationship is still there, plus Lan Yu and Zhu Biao have a very good personal relationship, so Lan Yu is also very trusted by Zhu Biao.

The most important thing is that Lan Yu himself is also extremely powerful, the general is not a fictitious position, but the supreme commander in the army, among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, only Xu Da, Feng Sheng, Lan Yu and a few other people have served, even Chang Yuchun does not have this kind of treatment, of course, the main thing is that Chang Yuchun died too early, if he lives a few more years, with his merits and ability, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a general.

However, Lan Yu was unlucky and unlucky to Zhu Biao, originally Zhu Yuanzhang was going to leave Lan Yu to Zhu Biao, but unfortunately Zhu Biao died early, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that Zhu Yunwen would not be able to control Lan Yu, and as a result, the famous "Lan Yu Case" occurred, and more than 15,000 people were implicated.

Thinking of Lan Yu's fate in the future, Li Jie couldn't help but shudder, and then secretly looked at Lan Yu's Xuan Yu, only to see that the other party was burly, with dark skin, a Chinese face, a beard, and big eyes with copper bells under his broom eyebrows, and he looked extraordinarily energetic.

Looking at Lan Yu, Li Jie also secretly felt sorry, although the history books said that Lan Yu was arrogant and lawless, but the other party led the troops really powerful, last year's great victory in the fishing sea, swept away the remnants of Meng Yuan, captured the sons, concubines, princesses of the Yuan Lord, hundreds of people, and captured nearly 80,000 people, even Zhu Yuanzhang praised him as Wei Qing and Li Jing of the Ming Dynasty, but this is such a person, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would kill it.

"By the way, I'm here to introduce my uncle to a young man who has invented something that will be of great benefit to the army!" Zhu Biao suddenly thought of Li Jie's flintlock pistol, so he immediately pointed at him and introduced it to Lan Yu.

Hearing this, Lan Yu also looked at Li Jie, his eyes were quite arrogant, and then he smiled slightly: "Your Highness won't be joking, see that he is only a year to tie his hair, what ability can he have to help the army?" ”

Li Jie heard Lan Yu's words but his nose was crooked, in vain Lao Tzu was still sorry for your death just now, I didn't expect you to look down on me, no wonder the history books say that Lan Yu is arrogant and arrogant, and even the concubine of the Yuan Lord dares to get into bed, even if this guy is not implicated by Zhu Biao, I am afraid that he will not die well in the future.

Of course, annoyance is annoyance, Li Jie didn't dare to really offend this general who only leaned towards the government and the opposition, so he bowed his head and stepped forward and said: "General Qiyu, I am proficient in firearms, and I have invented a flintlock pistol, which can make muskets shoot without a fire rope!" ”

"What are you kidding, how can you ignite gunpowder without a fire rope, is it possible that you can't stab a musket with a fire breaker?" Lan Yu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked with an expression of disbelief, as a general, he was of course the most familiar with muskets, but he had never heard of muskets without arquebuses.

"Uncle, we are just going to test launch, don't you come and see it!" Zhu Biao smiled and grabbed Lan Yu's sleeve and said, he knew that Lan Yu's temper was hot, and Li Jie was inevitably impulsive when he was young, so he took the initiative to interrupt them.

"Well, I'm going to see how I can use a musket without an arquebus!" Lan Yu still glanced at Li Jie with suspicion and said, although he is good at leading troops, it does not mean that he is better than others in accepting new things.

Li Jie didn't bother to explain, and then followed Zhu Biao to the open space on the side of Zuochunfang, and then Zhu Biao also handed over the flintlock pistol to the guards, originally Li Jie wanted to test shoot it himself, but the guards disagreed, because according to the rules of the palace, except for the guards, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to carry weapons, not even swords, let alone muskets.

In desperation, Li Jie had to let a guard who knew how to use a musket hold a musket, and then teach the other party how to use it.

When the guards finished loading, Li Jie also retreated to Zhu Biao's side, and as the guards pulled the trigger, only to hear the sound of "呯~", a projectile sprayed out and hit the opposite wall, immediately making a small hole in the wall of the blue bricks.

"And it did!" Zhu Biao was overjoyed.

"It really rang!" Lan Yu was a little incredulous, and then he reacted, strode over to the guard, grabbed the flintlock pistol, and then looked at it carefully, and the result was really a little bit of a doorway for him.

"This is...... Flint? Lan Yu pointed to the flint on the hammer of the musket and asked Li Jie in surprise.

"General Qiqi, it is the flint, this flintlock pistol is to hit the anvil with flint, so as to ignite the gunpowder with sparks, so that the musket does not have to worry about being unusable in wind and rain!" Li Jie explained with a smile.

"Interesting, some time ago I heard that the Ordnance Bureau improved the gunpowder formula, so that the power of gunpowder has increased greatly, but I didn't expect that now there is another flintlock pistol, it seems that firearms will be popular in the army in the future!" Lan Yu's eyes were blazing, he was arrogant and arrogant, but his sense of smell in military affairs was extremely sensitive.

"Uncle, don't you know, the person who improved the gunpowder before was also Li Jie!" Zhu Biao smiled again and introduced to Lan Yu.

Lan Yu was really surprised at this time, and looked at Li Jie again with two big eyes, and then smiled and said: "I see, I didn't expect you to have such a talent at such a young age, and the army also needs a talent like you, how about it, are you interested in going to the army with me, and I will protect you as a marquis in the future!" ”

Li Jie pouted secretly when he heard this, this blue jade's mouth really didn't open the door, he dared to say anything, only the emperor can do this kind of thing, you a general who said this kind of thing is a bit rebellious, if no one is held accountable, it will be one of the evidence of rebellion in the future.

"Uncle, Li Jie is the left secretary of my Zhan Mansion, I will still be of great use in the future, you don't want to take people's love!" Fortunately, Zhu Biao opened his mouth at this time to refuse for Li Jie, it is rare to find a talent, and Zhu Biao does not want to let go easily.

"Thank you for the love of the general, the kid can't lift his hands or shoulders, and he will be a drag in the army, but he will do something new in the Ordnance Bureau, and it will be more useful in the army, such as this!" Li Jie said and took out a paper bag and gestured to Lan Yu.

"Isn't this gunpowder, I saw that the flintlock pistol was fired from this thing just now?" Lan Yu recognized the paper-wrapped bullet, but he just thought it was quite delicate and didn't think deeply.

"This is called a paper-wrapped bullet, and the gunpowder in it is quantitative, so that the time for the soldiers to estimate the gunpowder is saved, and the firing speed is accelerated, and it also has the advantage that the general will definitely be able to use it on this expedition." Li Jie laughed again.

"Can I use it on the expedition?" Lan Yu asked again in surprise.

"Yes, I heard that the general is going to Shuzhong this time, right?" Li Jie smiled again, paper-wrapped ammunition is not just fixed ammunition, it also has a hidden advantage, which can be very useful in some places.
