The first big man in the scientific community of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Shun was a little shocked when he heard this name, but he didn't expect the rifled gun to alarm this big guy.

Knowing the identity of this big guy, Zhu Shun didn't feel that there was anything embarrassing about the tattered earthen house, so he generously invited: "If Xu Shilang doesn't feel that his family is shabby, go in and have a cup of tea." ”

Xu Guangqi didn't expect that a little caster would have such an extraordinary bearing, you must know that many Jinshi from poor backgrounds, don't read a lot of books, they are all trembling when they see him.

didn't dare to say a word, let alone such a generous invitation, Xu Guangqi glanced at Zhu Shun even higher: "Then the old man will bother." ”

The three Zhu Zhongren brothers standing next to them were completely dumbfounded, and Zhu Zhongren and the third child even took the initiative to slap themselves to see if they were dreaming.

At the door of their old Zhu's house, a high-ranking official wearing a red official uniform walked in.

Zhu Zhongren couldn't enjoy it, he pumped three times in a row, and then looked into the courtyard, and really walked in a red official uniform, and smirked: "It's out, my son is really too good." ”

It can be seen that this big official in red official uniform is for his son, and the three Zhu Zhongren brothers with six juniors did not dare to go in, so they stood at the door and waited, causing chaos for Zhu Shun.

Xu Guangqi walked into the dilapidated courtyard, took out the rifled gun, and asked seriously: "You invented this arquebus." ”

After beating this one, Zhu Shun understood what was going on, not that his face was big enough, but that the face of this flintlock rifled gun was big: "That's right, I invented it." ”

"However, this one is not called an arquebus, it is called a flintlock rifled gun."

Zhu Shun knew that they didn't understand what a flintlock rifled gun was, so he took the rifled gun and asked for gunpowder and lead bullet: "Xu Shilang is a master of firearms, and he should be very aware of the shortcomings of the arquebus. ”

"The steps of the launch are too cumbersome, starting from cleaning the medicine pot to hanging the lead, there are more than a dozen steps before and after."

"Even a well-trained sergeant can take at least a long time to fire a buckshot."

"The biggest advantage of this rifled gun, in addition to the firing range of more than 300 steps, far beyond the range of 100 steps of the arquebus, also has a biggest advantage."

In order to let Xu Guangqi see the biggest advantages of the flintlock rifled gun more intuitively, Zhu Shun no longer talked about it in vain, and showed him with actions.

He took out a small wooden hammer and hammered the lead bullet into the barrel of the gun, poured gunpowder into the medicine room, and in only two steps, he took up the flintlock rifled gun and aimed it at the earthen wall of the house, and fired a shot.

Xu Guangqi looked at the flintlock rifled gun emitting a puff of gunsmoke, a stunned expression appeared on his face, and his mouth trembled a little: "Two... Two steps, even the cumbersome steps have been streamlined to only two steps. ”

Xu Guangqi, as the first person to firearm in the Ming Dynasty, knew too well what this flintlock rifled gun meant, and it was no longer about to bring about a change.

A new era of firearms has arrived.

This is the greatest ambition of those of them who study firearms, to use firearms to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be realized.

Xu Guangqi, who is nearly seventy years old and has had ups and downs in officialdom all his life, stroked the body of the flintlock rifled gun, and tears were full of tears.

Xu Guangqi didn't speak, and hurriedly left here with a flintlock rifled gun, sat in the sedan chair outside, and instructed the sedan chair driver to rush back as quickly as possible.

The ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau stood aside and looked at Xu Guangqi's master and apprentice who left in a hurry, his face was full of sighs: "The significance of this flintlock rifled gun is really too great, you kid seems to be really going to develop." ”

The ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau knew that this kid didn't understand the cause and effect, so he took the initiative to explain: "Since the Battle of Sarhu in the Wanli period, our Ming army has been completely scared by the Manchurian Tatars. ”

"Even Daming's cabinet Zaisuke is used to failure, and there is only one way to deal with the official documents sent from the border gates."

"The general soldier was killed by Houjin, the general soldier abandoned the city and fled, and the general soldier surrendered to Houjin."

"But anyone who can kill dozens of Manchu Tartars is a great victory."

"Suddenly, one day, the cabinet will not deal with an official document, Ning Yuan won a great victory, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and killed the Houjin Khan Nurhachi."

"The key to Ningyuan's victory is the firearms of artillery and muskets."

"So the first thing our emperor did after he ascended the throne was to reactivate Xu Shilang, a courtier who is good at firearms."

"The status of artillery and muskets has risen to the level of the country's heavy weapons, and how to improve firearms and open a new era of firearms has become the biggest ideal of Xu Shilang's group."

The ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau suddenly turned his face, looked at Zhu Shun seriously and said, "And you are the one who started this era." ”

Zhu Shun smiled, did not speak, everything was under control.

Zhu Shun glanced at the sky, it was already completely dark, so he invited: "It's not too early, Uncle Zhang will leave after eating at home." ”

The ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau obviously also had something important, waved his hand and said, "I won't eat the meal, I still have something to do today." ”

After saying this, he also left here in a hurry.

Zhu Shun personally sent him outside the door, looking at the sedan chair, in a good mood.

What Zhu Shun didn't know was that there was another incident at night, a big event.

This night.

There was a red-robed high-ranking official who broke into the palace at night.
