In the past few years, after breaking through the assault musket of the Song Dynasty and the arquebus of the Yuan Dynasty, after several years of painstaking research, it has finally crossed the most difficult difficulty of the firecracker, and forged a firearm in the true sense, which has reached the standard of the firearm, and has created a firearm with extremely strong lethality, and no longer needs to free up a hand to ignite the firearm.

Whether it is a firebolt or a bird's gun, the firewire is really needed as a vital fuse to ignite the gunpowder and then make the projectiles in the barrel fly out.

This made Li Hong very dissatisfied with this kind of shooting weapon that was not as convenient as the bow and crossbow, and finally after several years of research, the Tang people finally developed the Suifa pistol pioneered by the Europeans.

In the "Illustrated Description of Weapons" at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this weapon was recorded, but after it was introduced to China at that time, it was called "self-generated fire", or it was given a more colloquial name, self-generated fire.

And history is like a joke, when Li Hong knew that the name of the person who made the tap fire without lighting in Taiyi City was Ma Han, he couldn't help but feel in a trance.

For he vaguely remembered that the man who made the tap fire was a French clockmaker, as well as a locksmith and gunsmith, whose name translates to Alfred Thayer Mahan.

This made Li Hong have to take Ma Han to the East Palace yesterday, let the hard work and resentment take a good look, is this Ma Han of the Tang Dynasty, also like the French craftsman, with blue eyes, high nose bridge and yellow hair.

But fortunately, Ma Han of the Tang Dynasty is completely a Tang person, and his appearance characteristics are even more like Han blood than the royal family.

Ma Han followed behind Bai Chun, respectfully holding a large wooden box in his hand, and stopped at the gate of Zichen Palace, waiting for the summons of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After taking the heavy wooden box and sending away Ma Han and his hard work, Li Zhi and Wu Mei also walked out of the main hall, and the laughter of Li Ye and several other children could still be heard behind them.

"This is what you call the weapon of the country? What is the foundation of my Datang's future strength? Li Zhi looked at the wooden box, and naturally knew that the tap fire in Li Hong's mouth was afraid that it was contained in this wooden box.

And in his mind, he couldn't help but think of the scene when Li Hong and the courtiers competed in Daming Palace with bows and crossbows to test the lethality.

"Yes, this is my Datang's treasure, as long as we can maintain this advantage, coupled with our original martial arts, presumably my Datang is facing any powerful country, and has enough ability to defeat it." Li Hong is not stupid, no matter how powerful a firearm is, if he can't meet a powerful country, powerful firearms are scrap iron.

Although the reasons are complicated, firearms have become scrap metal, and the abandonment of hot/cold weapons is also a reason, right?

"I still know that I am modest and cautious, and I thought that if you Li Hong had this thing, you would abolish all the martial arts left by your ancestors." Wu Mei glanced at the wooden box, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Li Hong can now not overemphasize weapons, but people, which is enough to show that after this goods ascends the throne, he must not simply rely on the strange skills and tricks of Taiyi City, those things that are not on the stage, but have a huge role in governing the country, it seems that he still knows the importance of some traditions.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei, Li Hong and Bai Chun, the four of them slowly walked down the steps of the Zichen Hall surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

waved his hand to summon the commander on duty of Jin Wuwei, Li Hong ordered him to immediately prepare a pair of the heaviest armor in the Tang Dynasty, and then squatted on the ground to open the wooden box and took out a black "thing".

"This ...... Is it the weapon of the kingdom in your mouth? How to kill the enemy? Li Zhi looked at the tube-like thing that glowed with black light, and then looked at the wood where Li Hong was holding his hand, and muttered.

"See? It's a good nanmu, but it's a good one. Li Hong ignored Father Long's question, but showed the butt of the gun to Li Zhixian.

"Nanmu, what's the use of good Nanmu? Can it still kill the enemy? Li Zhi put his hand into his sleeve, and he was used to Li Hong's evasive answer.

What's more, he will inherit his throne in a few days, and it is a bit out of place to reprimand His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, so you have to give a little face when you should give face, so as not to embarrass yourself after you abdicate.

"Can the hilt still kill the enemy?" Li Hong was dissatisfied with the blow of the dragon father, and after asking a rhetorical question, he began to tinker with the tap fire in his hand.

Waiting for the commander of Jin Wuwei, holding a pair of the heaviest armor in the Tang Dynasty, he wore it firmly on a wooden dummy, and put it at a distance of about 100 steps from Hong and the others, Pei Wanying, Princess Yiyang, Princess Gao'an, and Quan Yi and others at the gate of Zichen Palace, including Princess Lian Lanling and others, all stood at the door, looking intently at the emperor and empress, the prince and ...... Bai Chun and the four of them didn't know what to talk about in the square.

I don't understand that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is holding a strange thing in his hand, and from time to time he is carefully saying something to the attentive emperor and empress.

Just when the people at the gate of Zichen Hall were in the strange behavior of the four people in the strange square, Li Zhi, Wu Mei, and Bai Chun suddenly began to slowly move farther and farther away from Li Hong.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, under the surprised gaze of everyone, slowly raised the tap fire in his hand, and before everyone could understand, they only heard a loud bang, like thunder, from the front of the tubular thing in Li Hong's hand.

"I'll go! It's too much backlash and too loud, isn't it?...... What did you say? What the? Say it louder. Li Hong put down the smoke in his hand, rubbed his ears that were still a little buzzing, and then looked at the armored dummy in the distance.

In his opinion, a distance of 100 steps, as long as he is properly protected, even if it is a powerful crossbow, it may not be able to completely penetrate the thick armor, let alone in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no murderous weapon at all.

Now that he heard the loud noise just now, especially when he saw the heavy and thick armor that was shattered and shattered, he swallowed his saliva with a pale face, and his eyes were all looking at the tap fire in Li Hong's hand with fear, as if he had seen a ghost, and he was in a cold sweat.

Li Hong rubbed his ears while motioning to Commander Jin Wuwei to bring the heavy armor over, and then turned around, only to see that Dragon Father, Dragon Mother and Bai Chun were still far away from him, looking at him with strange and fearful eyes...... Running fire in your hands.

"How much of this stuff is there? They were all put into the palace at once, and not even one of them was allowed to leave out, and they had to be strictly guarded. Wu Mei reacted the fastest, but even so, Bai Chun's small hand had already been caught by her and lost its blood, and it couldn't slow down for a long time.

"What? You speak louder. Li Hong carried the tap fire and walked towards his dragon father and dragon mother.

"Don't come here, you throw the thing in your hand and get closer to me, I tell you, my father is serious." Li Zhi pointed to the tap fire that Li Hong was carrying, and warned with an extremely solemn expression.

"What seriously? Can you be louder. Li Hong continued to walk forward with the tap fire, while his dragon father and dragon mother retreated again and again, as if there was something dirty on Li Hong's body, and he was afraid that he would get dirty when he approached.

In the end, Bai Chun's eyes were quick, and he quickly met Li Hong, put his cherry lips to Li Hong's ear and shouted a few words loudly, which made someone wake up to how dangerous it was to walk towards his father and mother with a tap fire just now.

If this were replaced by Li Zhe or Li Dan, it is estimated that the Jin Wuwei secret sentinel hidden in the shadows would have already used the powerful bow and crossbow in his hand to shoot them to the core.

Now that he is himself, his accession to the throne is imminent, even Jin Wuwei, who guards the Daming Palace, because after he returned to Chang'an, he began to unconsciously think that he was the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so when they guarded the safety of the dragon father and the dragon mother, they would involuntarily count themselves into the protection.

handed the tap fire in his hand to the Jin Wuwei commander who trembled with his hands, and this battle-hardened Jin Wuwei commander, who no longer blinked in the face of the enemy's sword on the battlefield, when he took over the tap fire, his whole body was like a sifting chaff, and his whole body trembled up and down.

"Is this thing hot? Put it back in the box. Li Hong looked at Commander Jin Wuwei who seemed to be holding a red-hot soldering iron, glared at him and reprimanded.

Wu Mei and Li Zhi, after watching the tap fire being put into the wooden box, slowly approached Li Hong, and looked at the heavy armor that was also proud of the previous emperors in the Tang Dynasty, and now the armor on the chest was already in tatters, and a big black hole appeared miserably in front of several people.

"It's terrifying, such power, even if you wear two heavy armors, I'm afraid you can't stop such a murder weapon." Wu Mei also shook her head, and even at this moment, the atrium was still beating violently, and she couldn't calm down.

And Li Zhi shook his head around the armor that showed the big hole and said thoughtfully: "That voice just now is a little familiar, by the way, the fireworks you let the Shenji camp set off in previous years, is it related to this...... What is the similarity between this tap fire? ”

"Well, it's amazing my father, yes, this is developed on the basis of that fireworks, think about it, as long as we have this, mounted on the battleship of my Tang Naval Division, what do you think the effect will be if my Tang Dynasty attacks the Wa Kingdom? Let alone...... If the barrel is thicker and the whole is dozens of times larger, even if the Japanese country is impregnable, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the bombardment of this thing, right? ”

"No, all of them must be supervised immediately, and if these murder weapons are obtained by others, the consequences will be unimaginable." Wu Mei suddenly raised her head, looked at Li Hong and said solemnly.
