In Thang Long City, the Western soldiers cleaned up the corpses out of the city, and groups of soldiers patrolled the streets of the city to restore order in Thang Long City.

Sun Kewang believed that as long as his rule could bring stability to the people, ordinary people and smart people would not care too much about the change of royal power, and the trouble was some brainless scholars.

At this time, Sun Kewang led a team of people and horses galloped through the street, he did not wait for Liu Zongmin to get the things, but couldn't wait to decide to go over and check it out in person.

The cavalry galloped past, Xu Yixian's movements were very fast, the corpses on the street were pulled away by the soldiers, the blood was washed away, and everything seemed as if it had never happened.

It's like the fall of Constantinople, where after three days of slaughter, everything starts anew, and the people of the city quickly forget the past glory and submit to the feet of the conqueror.

Sun Kewang and his party rushed out of the city, and on the wilderness outside the city, the big tents were one after another, spreading neatly and endlessly.

The soldiers of the Western Army marched through the camp, and a group of men and horses were urging the prisoners to repair the bombed walls.

At this time, the group came to the school field, and a large number of Western Army generals also rushed to hear the news, Liu Zongmin was not at ease to let the Dutch test the gun, and found a few Western army gunners, let them learn first, and then come to show Sun Kewang.

The structure of the flintlock pistol and the arquebus is basically the same, and the sergeants of the Western Army quickly learned to use it, and then demonstrated it to Sun Kewang and his party, ten soldiers raised their guns and fired a volley, and the planks seventy or eighty steps away were splashed with sawdust, and the school field was filled with thick smoke.

At this time, the soldier took the target, and Sun Kewang couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that the plank more than an inch thick had been pierced by the projectile, and a large piece had been broken in some places.

"A bow and arrow can only cause such an effect within thirty paces, and this fire gun is estimated to have a chance to penetrate the armor within eighty steps! Kill the non-armor-piercing soldier, it is estimated that more than a hundred steps away, and then he will be put down. "Liu Zongmin has tried it beforehand, so he is more clear about the performance.

Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "No wonder it is so easy for Gao Lao Er to fight Tartars, with such a sharp weapon, won't the Tartars' bow and arrow become a child's toy?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the soldier who had just fired the test, and suddenly asked, "You have just launched, what do you think of this firecracker?" ”

A small leader saluted and replied: "Back to the king, in the test firing, the minister found that between this self-generated fire gun and the bird gun we used, the main thing is to improve the firing device, when the minister shoots, there is no need to light the fire rope, nor do you need to fix and check the fire rope repeatedly, the steps of shooting are simplified, and you should be able to put a few more guns than the bird gun when fighting." In addition, the fire rope does not need to be lit, and it should be able to be used on windy days, but I don't know if it can be used when it rains! ”

Sun Kewang's eyes lit up, and his heart was more excited, but he also knew that even if he was itching, it would not work. This thing is a good thing, but it is not easy to make it, and his own cannon casting workshop in Yunnan can only make some old firearms.

Sun Kewang has always coveted Gao Yihuan's craftsmen, and asked Gao Yihuan several times, but Gao Yihuan didn't bird him, but just gave him some fire guns and earth-shaking thunder, and never gave them to the new self-generated fire guns, flowering bombs, and mortar cannons, and didn't let him look at them.

"Good! This kind of fire, this king will do whatever it takes to imitate it. Sun Kewang shook his fist and looked very excited, "By the way, what about the red-haired armor?" ”

At that moment, Liu Zongmin asked people to put their armor on a humanoid target, put them thirty steps away, and ordered them to shoot with bows and arrows, and bombarded them with bird guns, but they couldn't break the armor, and finally used a flintlock pistol to make a dent.

The seventeenth century was the era of alternating hot and cold weapons, with the progress of smelting and forging technology, cold weapons gradually reached its peak, and although the plate armor was bulky, it could be said to be the best armor for defense, and it was the pinnacle of cold weapon armor.

The advantages of the arquebus era for cold weapons were not particularly obvious, but at this time, with the advent of flintlock guns, firearms began to have a huge advantage over cold weapons.

Therefore, flintlock pistols and plate armor are the representatives of advanced firearms, and the other is the pinnacle of cold weapons.

Sun Kewang was very pleased to see it, and decided to imitate these two devices no matter what, but at the same time he frowned.

Sun Kewang is a very good at accounting people, although he does not understand the manufacturing process of these things, but as long as he looks at their materials and processes, he knows that to make these things, the cost must be amazing, small countries can't make much at all, and in the end it is the national strength.

Gao Lao Er was able to make so many firearms, not simply because he had craftsmen, but because he had resources, financial, material, and manpower, and could afford to build them.

This made Sun Kewang a little frustrated, but then he was uplifted again, Gao Lao Er did not become the king of Great Wei in a day, the environment he is in now is very good, the strong enemies in the north contain each other, there is no time to look south, the east is the sea, there are no strong enemies in the west and south, it is a good time for him to develop and grow.

Sun Kewang looked around, picked out a complete pair of Dutch armor and a short-barreled flintlock pistol used by officers, and returned to Thang Long City with some emotion.

At this time, more than a dozen cavalrymen surrounded a cavalry with an urgent flag on their backs, galloped into Thang Long City, they crossed the street all the way, came to a sharp stop in front of the Annam Palace, led by a cavalryman, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, holding the military newspaper contained in the round bamboo tube in one hand, hurriedly stepped forward, and shouted in his mouth, "Hurry up the report, the military situation is urgent." ”

After Sun Kewang returned to the palace, he did not indulge in the beauty of the ladies in the palace of the Li Dynasty, but played with the toys he brought back and tried firing a flintlock pistol.

At this time, Xu Yixian hurriedly came in, his steps were a little flustered, "King, there is an urgent report from Guangxi!" ”

Sun Kewang's heart froze, "What happened?" ”

"Ainengqi beat the report and found that the Ming army was gathering troops and horses in Nanning, Guizhou, and Huguang Baoqing, and the target may be us!" Xu Yixian said urgently.

Sun Kewang was a little surprised on his face, he took the military report presented by Xu Yixian, and read it quickly, it was Ai Nengqi who stated to him the news of the Ming Dynasty's increase in troops to the southwest.

Nanning and Guizhou in Guangxi, and Baoqing in the south of Hunan, Guangxi, are all adjacent to the Western Army. It goes without saying that the Ming army increased its troops to these places, and it must have wanted to attack him.

"How can this be true? Zhu Cihong didn't wipe off his butt of shit himself, and actually started the idea of this king. Sun Kewang's angry general newspaper was crumpled into a ball, he wanted to recuperate for a year, and he didn't want to trouble himself to find the door, which ruined his strategy of continuing to advance south, "The Western Wei Dynasty asked this king to attack Zhu Cihong, but this king didn't go, Zhu Cihong actually came to the door, is he begging for a beating?" This little emperor is really stupid, doesn't he know that Gao Lao Er is looking forward to this king and him to war? ”

Sun Kewang suddenly had an evil fire in his heart, but he didn't expect Gao Lao's second calculation to start.
