Chapter 126: Reward
Zhang Shaotong dealt with it according to what Zhang Ning said, let the veterinarian check it, only accepted the cattle and sheep that were not sick, and did not want those who were too old, and finally left forty percent, and let Gessel take the rest back.
Gessel wanted to cry without tears, and when the veterinarians were slow to check, more than 100 cattle and more than 200 sheep died, and these sick cattle and sheep were transported by themselves to dig a pit outside the city and buried under the threat of sharpshooters. Every time he dug a hole, it was like cutting a wound on Gessel's body.
It hurts, it hurts.
When the reward was determined, Gessel felt the urge to die. He asked for food, but he got some salt and daily necessities, and there was no food at all.
They need salt, sprinkle some salt when roasting cattle and sheep, and the meat is much more delicious. But the order he received this time was to ask for more food to prepare for the cold winter, although the salt was good, but it could not fill the stomach.
He played the recital, but received an order to leave the capital within three days. The emperor not only ignored his demands, but expelled him. He played the recital again and asked to take Batu and the others away, but he went into the sea like a mud cow.
What he didn't know was that Batu, the commander and others confessed one by one, and after Zhang Ning got the confession, he corroborated each other to determine the authenticity of the confession, and he had almost touched the situation in Wara.
…………
In the Zhaoren Palace, Zhu Qizhen put a hairpin in front of him, he played with it in his hand for a while, handed it to Zhang Ning, and said, "The craftsman will be presented this morning, Qing will see how it is doing?" ”
Of course, the craftsmanship of the craftsman is good, and even the most intricate jewelry can be made to life, let alone a self-hairing pistol that only requires all the parts to be able to assemble?
Zhang Ning took the pistol, gently stroked the body of the gun with his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, the gun is not used to see, but to shoot." I wonder if the projectile was made? ”
He was summoned to the palace a quarter of an hour ago, and when he saw that there was a beautifully carved sandalwood box on the imperial case, except for this sandalwood box, which was two stacks of highly stacked pieces, so he asked this question.
What's the use of having guns and not bullets?
I don't know how much stronger the projectile is than the projectile of the existing gun, at least the amount of gunpowder is just right, and there will definitely be no accidents because of too much gunpowder when firing. I just don't know if the craftsmen have not played with gunpowder and can make it.
"Here." Zhu Qizhen opened the carved sandalwood box, and the box was divided into six compartments, each with a projectile.
Loaded with bullets in such a beautiful box? It's too extravagant. Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty asks Your Majesty to announce that the Marquis Gu will enter the palace for a test shot." ”
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't touched a gun in his two lifetimes, he would have immediately asked the little eunuchs to set up the target and shoot first.
Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "I have already gone to Xuan, it is estimated that Gu Qing is on his way to the palace." ”
Before the words fell, the little eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Master Gu has arrived." ”
Gu Xingzu didn't know what the emperor had done when he announced that he had entered the palace, and when he saw Zhang Ning present after the salute, he asked him with his eyes. Because of the relationship between Gu Chun and Liu Nian, the two families are on the road of a good family.
Zhang Ning got up and saluted and said, "I don't know how Hou Ye's marksmanship is?" ”
You've been in charge of the sharpshooter battalion for a few years, and it's a joke to say that you don't know how to shoot. However, it's hard to say, Gu Xingzu's spear makes him superb, maybe people like cold weapons and don't like hot weapons.
Gu Xingzu was surprised: "Marksmanship? "What kind of marksmanship are you referring to?
Zhang Ning handed over the pistol and said, "The craftsman will make an improved firecracker, and Your Majesty will enter the palace to announce the marquis, probably with the meaning of testing the gun." ”
"Not bad." Zhu Qizhen said.
"Commandment." Gu Xingzu saluted, took the pistol, and took out a projectile from the box.
Zhang Ning instructed the little eunuch to fetch the target. Soon the little eunuch brought an iron target and placed it in the middle of the courtyard.
"Lift a little further. Don't stand behind the target. Gu Xingzu looked at the distance and said. Without his explanation, the little eunuchs hid far away.
"Please try to fire." Gu Xingzu asked Zhu Qizhen for instructions. This is the etiquette that a courtier should practice, and if you don't make it clear, it will be bad if the emperor thinks you are going to kill the king.
Zhu Qizhen smiled, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Just try." ”
Gu Xingzu then walked to the bottom of the corridor.
To watch, you can only go out of the temple. Zhang Ning and Zhu Qizhen left the hall and stood not far behind Gu Xingzu. Zhang Ning stood beside Zhu Qizhen, a position that could be blocked in front of him by flashing. Once Gu Xingzu moved, he used his body to block the bullet and save Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen understood what he meant, and his heart warmed slightly.
"Phew!" Gu Xingzu fired the first shot, and the red heart of the iron target was shot through, which shows that the firepower is very fierce.
Zhang Ning praised: "Good marksmanship." ”
I didn't expect Gu Xingzu to play a spear well, and his marksmanship was also good, which was very rare.
Gu Xingzu was embarrassed for a while, although he was the commander of the sharpshooter battalion, he had always had little interest in firecrackers, or after Liu Nian and Gu Chun entered the military camp to train sergeants, his politically sensitive intuition told him that the emperor attached great importance to firearms, and he must practice marksmanship, maybe he could use it one day.
I really didn't expect it to come in handy so soon, but fortunately, I practiced for a few days, otherwise I would have been ugly today.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Qing try a few more times, don't feel sorry for the projectile." He thought that Gu Xingzu saw that there was only one box of projectiles and didn't dare to waste it, so he said so.
"Yes." Gu Xingzu said.
Jia Xiaosi entered the hall and brought the whole box of projectiles, Gu Xingzu was not polite, and the sound of "Woo Woo" rang out continuously, and the remaining five were all gone. Of the six shots in a row, only one was in the tenth ring, and the rest were all red hearts.
"Good marksmanship." Zhu Qizhen praised.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Gu Xingzu wiped the sweat from his forehead, he was so nervous just now that he didn't even dare to wipe the sweat, but fortunately, the results were not bad. I really didn't expect to be old, and when I was tested for marksmanship. He sighed.
Zhang Ning said: "Your Majesty, this gun is an improved firecracker, it is better to call it a firecracker, so as not to be confused with the old-fashioned firecracker." ”
"It's fine. But why is it called a pistol? Zhu Qizhen said strangely, this name is too ordinary, it is better to take a powerful and domineering one.
Zhang Ning thought for a few breaths and said, "This is the name that Chen saw in the ancient book, probably because it can launch uninterruptedly?" ”
Zhu Qizhen didn't bother with the name of the new gun, but said: "Zhang Qing has made a meritorious contribution to the picture, and he is named Sui Fabo, and the rest of the people have their own rewards." ”
"Sui Fa Bo?!" Zhang Ning only felt a thunderbolt on his head, shaking him so much that he couldn't stand steadily, what is wrong with you sealing me, if you don't seal me? Can't you change your name?
"How?" Zhu Qizhen saw that Zhang Ning's expression was different, and asked casually.
"Your Majesty, please change your name." Zhang Ning smiled bitterly: "In the future, the sergeants will use the Sui Hair Rifle ......"
Zhu Qizhen thought about it and said good-naturedly: "Then change it to Xingchangbo." ”
Xingchangbo is always better than Suifabo, Zhang Ning is grateful.
