Chapter 237: Mao Sui's self-recommendation attracted attention
When Huang Feihong wanted to keep Chen Mu earlier, I am afraid that Zhang Zhidong and the others did not have any expectations, after all, Chen Mu was just a seemingly immature young man.
Liang Kuan is Huang Feihong's eldest disciple, calm and atmospheric, and he has the true inheritance, and it is estimated that Chen Mu will not have a chance to make a move.
Zhang Zhidong personally came to the door this time to witness the defeat of traditional martial arts with muskets, hoping to promote the power of muskets and promote muskets in the army.
But what is surprising is that even Shen Changzhou, who is the most proficient in muskets in the gun factory, has not been able to defeat Liang Kuan.
When the smoke cleared, Liang Kuan pinched Shen Changzhou's wrist, but his body was completely clean, not even half of the bullet marks were left, and that bearing was really impressive.
It's just that this convincing made Zhang Zhidong and others feel extremely disappointed.
They were all enlightened people, and they knew very well that muskets were the way to go.
In the world of foreigners, they have gone from barbarism to civilization, relying on technology.
However, in the land of China, we have never lacked civilization, we have been a civilized country since thousands of years ago, and we have our own history of civilization.
The technology brought by foreigners has a barbaric atmosphere, and what the Chinese community lacks is only tolerance and acceptance of modern technology.
However, the result is obvious, even Shen Changzhou cannot defeat Liang Kuan.
Knowing that this group of warriors will be eliminated by muskets sooner or later, but even with the most advanced muskets in their hands, they still can't defeat the old warriors, which is the most disappointing thing.
If they can't convince themselves, how can they convince those stubborn military bosses?
At this time, Chen Mu's appearance is undoubtedly very inappropriate.
The people present, including Luo Jianhe, actually thought that Chen Mu was going to play the role of Liang Kuan.
Maybe he is weaker, if he can lose to Shen Changzhou, it will undoubtedly be a result that everyone is happy to see.
But Zhang Zhidong is not such a person, if it weren't for Huang Feihong to let Liang Kuan replace him on the grounds of old age, how could he insist on Huang Feihong to play.
Liang Kuan already felt a little reluctant, let alone Chen Mu?
However, Chen Mu unbelievably proposed to try muskets!
Although the specific origin of Chen Mu is not known, Chen Mu is close to Huang Feihong, and claims to be Huang Feihong's junior brother who appeared out of nowhere, which shows that he is a complete martial artist.
Zhang Zhidong has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has seen a lot of young talents, and he can see at a glance whether he has the ability or not, which is why he appreciates Fu Qingyin and takes him with him.
But in the face of Chen Mu, he didn't have a clue.
Huang Feihong was also a little surprised, and even a little worried in his heart.
The reason why he let Chen Mu stay was because he knew the purpose of Chen Mu's trip and heard Chen Mu's intention to go to Guangya Academy and want to visit Zhang Zhidong.
This time, I also want to make up for it, so that Chen Mu can meet Zhang Zhidong smoothly.
He is convinced of Chen Mu's details, because he dares to claim to be the big man of Hong Ying, there are few such characters, especially in front of seniors like him, no one dares to play this kind of trick.
What's more, there are also Lu Shengwu and Lin Fucheng as guarantees, Chen Mu is a native of Hongmen, this is an undoubted fact.
This also means that Chen Mu should not be too proficient in things like firearms.
But he was not Luo Jianhe after all, and he didn't know the intersection between Chen Mu and foreigners, so he persuaded Chen Mu.
"Senior brother, these firearms are not small-tempered, and they are not easy to manipulate, so forget it."
Fu Qingyin originally thought that Chen Mu and the others just wanted to climb Zhang Zhidong to suppress his power in Hongshuntang, but he was already very proud of cutting off Chen Mu and the others' attempts last night.
I didn't expect Chen Mu to catch Huang Feihong's line, and he appeared here today, I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to get Zhang Zhidong's favor.
So he spoke: "This friend Chen is only afraid that he doesn't know, Brother Shen Shen Changzhou is promoted by the gun factory, and he is the most proficient in muskets, he can't win Master Liang, and Friend Chen doesn't have to be ugly." ”
Huang Feihong persuaded Chen Mu because he was afraid that Chen Mu would make Zhang Zhidong unhappy because of this, but he also knew the stakes and did not mention Shen Changzhou's name, worrying about provoking this promoted adult.
Unexpectedly, Fu Qingyin hit the nail on the head, and he didn't let go of the opportunity when he seized the opportunity.
Shen Changzhou already had a lofty attitude, and when he heard this, he really looked at Chen Muyue unpleasantly.
Although Zhang Zhidong is in a high position, he is well-versed in the world, otherwise he would not have repeatedly apologized to Huang Feihong for this incident, let alone visited in person.
At this time, he also said: "Changzhou is a student sent by the imperial court to study abroad, and he has a deep study of Western-style muskets, and now he is the leading technical consultant in the factory, and his understanding of firearms is indeed unique, but this Mr. Xiao Chen's curiosity is also understandable." ”
He recommended Chen Mu's hair to the point of curiosity, and also gave Chen Mu a step.
However, Chen Mu dared to stand up, but he was not a swollen face and a fat man, Shen Changzhou did know about firearms, but this was not a wooden stake, but a living person!
Chen Mu had already sensed Shen Changzhou's dangerous aura earlier, this person should have seen blood, and the use of muskets should be genuine.
But in the face of martial artists, especially those in the realm of Liang Kuan, they can't deal with ordinary spearmen with the technology they can't deal with.
Liang Kuan is Huang Feihong's big apprentice, and he is deeply appreciated by Huang Feihong, and he is true to the truth, but no matter how powerful Huang Feihong is, he is also the grandmaster of Hongquan, and the word Hongquan must be crowned in front of him after all!
And speaking of Hongquan, Chen Mu, who got the general outline of Dahongquan since he was a child, and practiced Hongxi's official boxing book in retreat with Lu Shengwu in the cave, who are you afraid of?
Although Fu Qingyin took the opportunity to stumble, Chen Muhun didn't care, walked forward, looked at Shen Changzhou, and asked resolutely, "Can Shen Tituo let me try?" ”
He knew that Zhang Zhidong had to give face to this promotion and say good things about this promotion, so as long as Shen Changzhou showed his attitude, this matter would be easy to handle.
Shen Changzhou looked at Chen Mu with interest, a little sneering, as if he was looking at a dirt bun.
But Chen Mu did not consult Zhang Zhidong again, but took the initiative to ask for his consent, and I have to say that he still has vision.
Chen Mu was not in a hurry, as if this matter was just a game, and he didn't care if it could be done.
This kind of relaxed attitude is really surprising at his age.
Shen Changzhou is an arrogant person in the end, and he can't be questioned by others, since Chen Mu thinks he can do it, he lets Chen Mu give it a try and slap Chen Mu in the face with facts!
"Okay, Friend Chen, please take care of yourself."
With that, he picked up all the muskets on the ground and put them back on the table.
Zhang Zhidong saw this, although his brows were still not stretched, but it was not good to say anything more, this kind of small expression made Fu Qingyin look in his eyes, he knew that Zhang Zhidong was looking at Huang Feihong's face, but it did not mean that Zhang Zhidong would be happy to accept it.
As a staff member, you must have the consciousness of a staff member, and sometimes you have to act as a villain, say something, and do something that is inconvenient for the proprietor to say and do.
At this time, he stood up, his face was a little ugly, and said to Chen Mu: "Chen Youren, people must be self-aware, you are a layman, what kind of excitement are you making, do you know that these muskets are the most advanced and latest, they are all Shen Ti's treasures!" ”
He had never looked down on Chen Mu, earlier Chen Mu and Lin Wen and others went to the consulate to make trouble, because the matter of Xianshui Village was to seek justice, as a staff member of the Governor's Palace, he went to the round, and he did not look at Chen Mu directly.
In his opinion, Chen Mu has the intention to inherit his father's and brother's career, but he doesn't have that ability, so he is simply disdainful of Chen Mu, where will he investigate Chen Mu in detail?
Besides, Chen Mu studied muskets with Bertrand, Bruno and others, and no one could investigate such an inside story.
Chen Mu knew that Fu Qingyin couldn't make him happy, but he wouldn't argue with him, but just said to Fu Qingyin.
"Heng Zhi is a layman, if he is ugly, it will just make everyone laugh, which is considered to be fun, so why make a fuss?"
Chen Mu's casual attitude made Fu Qingyin feel like a punch on the cotton, and if the other party didn't accept it, he couldn't insist anymore.
As he spoke, Chen Mu crackled, and he actually pulled all the bolts back, and the empty cartridges had already been loaded!
He didn't look down closely, as if he was fiddling with a toy that had already been rotten, Fu Qingyin only thought about how to mock Chen Mu, and didn't notice this detail, but Shen Changzhou's face changed!
Chen Mu did not carry all the long and short muskets on his back like Shen Changzhou, but only selected a Mauser pistol with five consecutive shots.
After weighing it in his hand, Chen Mu said to Liang Kuan: "Master Liang, be careful. ”
Liang Kuan was also extremely embarrassed, he was much older than Chen Mu, but according to his seniority, he wanted to be honored as Uncle Chen Mu!
Chen Mu's voice from Master Liang made him a little frightened.
"I can't afford it, uncle......" Liang Kuan showed an embarrassed look, and everyone also felt funny.
However, Chen Mu became serious: "I'm asking you to be really careful." ”
As soon as Chen Mu said this, Liang Kuan also became dignified, and took a deep breath, as if the air in the entire courtyard had been emptied, even Fu Qingyin, and he didn't dare to speak again.
"Uncle Shi, I'm offended!" Liang Kuan, as before, walked forward quickly, and his body was more swift and erratic than Shicai!
There is only a dozen steps between the two, as if the next moment, they will be able to decide the winner!
However, at this moment, Chen Mu spoke!
"Left foot!"
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a bright red bullet mark appeared on Liang Kuan's left foot!
Although it was only cork, but when it hit his body, Liang Kuan was still like being struck by lightning, and he had been reluctant to wear leather armor earlier, but at this time he found that even if it was cork, it was like a bone crack!
Chen Mu is well versed in all the steps of Hongquan, he may not be as familiar with firearms as Shen Changzhou, but he knows Liang Kuan's footwork and movement direction well!
Liang Kuan was not convinced, stood up again, and just took two steps, Chen Mu spoke again: "Right shoulder!" ”
"Bang!"
Another shot, Liang Kuan's body was stunned, a red cloud exploded on his right shoulder, and the cork bullet left a clear bullet mark!
