But what Yu Guozhen didn't expect was that what he saw when he went in was Cao Huachun.

As soon as Cao Huachun saw him, he gestured: "Shhh, the emperor just fell asleep, Hugh wants to quarrel with him." ”

When he said this, Cao Huachun had a trace of unbearability in his eyes. Although he is a physically incomplete eunuch and somewhat psychologically abnormal, his basic surname is still there. Seeing that his master forgot to eat and work hard every time he said that he was sleeping, but the country was embarrassed, Cao Huachun was also extremely unbearable in his heart.

Of course, this kind of reluctance does not affect him to make money.

Thinking of his master's hard work, in the nine years since he ascended the throne, he has hardly laughed a few times, especially in the past two years, he is even more sad, that is, the news from Yu Guozhen's side has made him happy. Cao Huachun looked at Yu Guozhen's gaze softened slightly, and nodded slightly: "Sit down, eat a few pieces of dim sum to pad your stomach first." After a while, the emperor will have a lot to ask you. ”

Yu Guozhen sat down calmly, reached out and took a piece of dim sum to be honest, to be honest, he didn't think that piece of dim sum was delicious, at least it was far less than a little pastry that Fang Ziyi had figured out.

"Cao Huachun is loyal." Yu Guozhen thought to himself.

After waiting for about half an hour, I suddenly heard someone upstairs sounding: "Why am I asleep again...... Cao Banban, where have you gone, you old thing...... What time is it? ”

Cao Huachun made a gesture to Yu Guozhen to wait, and then walked upstairs quickly, with his slightly obese body, he could be so agile, which made Yu Guozhen very admired.

Then I heard Chongzhen's voice upstairs ringing again: "Has Yu Jimin arrived?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, Yu Jimin is already waiting downstairs."

"You should ......have woken me up earlier" Chongzhen seemed to want to reproach Cao Huachun, but at this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the front yard, and then, the door was opened, and the eunuch who led Yu Guozhen into the door rushed in with a panicked face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!" ”

Yu Guozhen's heart moved, the military information that can be transmitted at this time must be a big event!

Cao Huachun heard the voice upstairs, and was about to be reprimanded, but heard Chongzhen sigh: "Even if I hide here, I can't avoid it...... Let Yu Jimin wait a moment and let me hear what happened. ”

Cao Huachun came down and glanced at Yu Guozhen, and then said to the little eunuch: "Hurry up!" ”

The eunuch presented something to Cao Huachun, Cao Huachun took it, Yu Guozhen sighed softly, because soon, he heard Chongzhen's angry voice: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, it ......"

"Emperor!" Cao Huachun said anxiously.

Immediately afterwards, a series of footsteps came, Yu Guozhen stood up, and after a while, he saw Cao Huachun walking downstairs with a man behind.

This man was originally very young, but now it seems that he is no different from an old man in his forties and fifties, his face is a little pale, his eyes are bloodshot, his temples are white, and there is a layer of tiredness between his eyebrows. Maybe because of his anger, his face was a little hideous, and his eyes were also very sharp, after coming downstairs, he nodded to Yu Guozhen, but without saying a word, he hurried out.

Cao Huachun's face was also surprised and annoyed, he was two steps behind, looked at Yu Guozhen and smiled bitterly: "Yu Jimin, you go back first...... I will send for you. ”

With that he had said that, he hurried away, and soon there was a sound of footsteps outside. Yu Guozhen was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't see a few guards when he entered the courtyard, and now it seems that there are still many people hidden in places he has not seen.

The voice outside finally quieted down, Yu Guozhen sighed, and his first meeting with Chongzhen ended like this.

Chongzhen, although some people evaluate him as mean and unkind, but in fact, he is generous to the people he trusts. At least the first impression he left on Yu Guozhen was good: although his talents were limited, at least the people who treated him well were still caring.

It's just that his biggest problem is that he doesn't have the right vision.

Out of the cheap shop, Yu Guozhen returned to the Yujing Inn, and found along the way that everything was normal on the streets of the capital, and there was nothing unusual. Yu Guozhen's thoughts couldn't help but turn to the news that Emperor Chongzhen had just canceled his plan to leave in a gaffe, and when the eunuch came to present it, it was an emergency military situation, what kind of emergency military situation could make Chongzhen cancel his original plan and return to the palace in a hurry?

There is too little information in my hand to analyze anything.

"Official, official!"

He was a little stunned, and then he heard someone calling, came back to his senses, and saw Fang Ziyi standing in front of him.

Fang Ziyi is different from Liu Ruye's petite and delicate, her figure has both the beauty of a southern woman and the slenderness of a northern woman, which may be related to the fact that she has never wrapped her small feet. As far as Yu Guozhen knew, after seeing Fang Ziyi's feet once, Liu Ru was ashamed of herself, and in order to cover up her own shortcomings, she invented black stockings woven from silk, covering her entire foot all the way to her thighs, so Yu Guozhen saw what stockings were tempting.

"Lady......"

Fang Ziyi looked at him with a smile, holding a scroll in his hand. Originally, there was a boy Ning who was in the way of following her, but when she was in the east of Shandong, she was left in Zhang Bingwen's mansion and just waited to go back to pick her up, so now the two of them are quiet.

As soon as he saw that there was no one left and right, Yu Guozhen opened his arms and wanted to hug him. Fang Ziyi's heart was sweet, but she raised her hand and pointed the book in her hand on Yu Guozhen's nose to block him.

"What book is the lady reading?" Yu Guozhen asked curiously.

Fang Ziyi's surname is Zi Tianjing, and she has few other hobbies except for her love of books. She smiled and said: "Nu Jinyu visited the Liulichang Book Market, but found an interesting book, so he took it to offer treasure to his husband." ”

Yu Guozhen took the book and turned to the cover, but it was a copy of "Illustrated Weapons", he said "Huh", with Fang Ziyi's surname, of course he would not be interested in this kind of book, if it was "Xu Xiake's Travels" or something like that, he would have an appetite for her. She found this book because of Yu Guozhen, and Yu Guozhen knew about it.

However, Yu Guozhen did not pay much attention to the weapons at this time, and the best arquebus in this era is only the Tiger Guard B equipped by the guards now. Seeing that he didn't seem to want to look at it, Fang Ziyi smiled: "Husband, don't despise the people of the world, look at this." ”

She flipped to one of the pages of the book, but it was an introduction to the "self-generated fire". Yu Guozhen looked at it, and his expression was suddenly solemn: "This person is really a genius!" ”

The so-called self-generated fire pistol is a flintlock pistol, which already existed in Europe at this time, but as far as Yu Guozhen knows, the technology is not yet mature. Moreover, the firing range of the flintlock pistol, on the contrary, was not as good as the arquebus, and due to the problem of craftsmanship, the trigger was quite difficult to pull, which in turn affected the accuracy of the shot. However, it is extremely rare for this person to be able to come up with the theory of flintlock pistol.

"The husband once said that the arquebus is inconvenient, although the concubine does not understand this, but she is also thinking, if you directly install a flint in the back, or you can relieve the husband's worries, just see this idea in this book, I don't know if the husband is useful."

For Yu Guozhen, the theory of "spontaneous musket" is really useless, because he has long been developing a flintlock pistol. However, Fang Ziyi's heart is here, and it warms his heart. Fang Ziyi looked at him, felt his tenderness, raised his eyebrows and smiled, but a blush of joy appeared on his face.

She turned to the page again: "When the concubine saw the guards marching, she often carried two guns, one of which was an arquebus, and the other was a tassel gun, and she saw this book again...... Husband, please take a look. ”

Following her slender jade fingers, Yu Guozhen saw the fire-spitting pear flower gun, but it was a gunpowder cartridge tied in front of the ordinary tassel gun, first shooting with gunpowder, and then killing the enemy with the tassel gun. Fang Ziyi said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that this can inspire people, the husband said that firearms are the main weapons on the battlefield in the future, so why not add another weapon on top of this main weapon." Since you can add a firearm on top of a tassel gun in this picture and text, why can't the husband add a tassel gun on top of a firearm? ”

Yu Guozhen stared at Fang Ziyi for a while, if it weren't for the fact that Fang Ziyi hadn't been to Xinxiang with him, he would have wondered if Fang Ziyi had entered Xinxiang's weapons research institute.

This is the theory of a rifle and a bayonet!

Because the Tiger Weiyi is not suitable for the installation of bayonets, so Yu Guozhen is ordering the research institute to carry out a new round of improvements to the Tiger Weiyi, which is the so-called "Tiger Weiyi Reform", the biggest change in this model is to adjust the length and shape of the wooden butt of the Tiger Weiyi, so that it is more suitable for people to aim and shoot, and at the same time the barrel is modified to facilitate the installation of bayonets for hand-to-hand combat.

Although this change is only a change in the appearance design, it also requires a lot of tests, for example, the addition of a bayonet on the barrel will have a certain impact on the accuracy of shooting, and for example, what is the most suitable length of the bayonet for hand-to-hand combat, these need to be tested dozens or even hundreds of times to get the best data. Moreover, Yu Guozhen also hoped that through such tests, he could lay a good foundation for the development of his own light weapons and train a group of researchers who could take the lead, so he did not interfere in their research too much.

Anyway, to fight enemies like rogues, the current Tiger Guard Type B is enough.

"The lady is really a caring person for her husband...... Ha ha. Yu Guozhen laughed.

He opened the first few pages of the book and saw the words in the author's preface: "On July 20, the eighth year of Chongzhen, the right attendant of the former military department is now to Shichen Bi Maogeng", and his heart moved again, this book only came out last year, so its author should still be alive. This Bi Maogeng, Yu Guozhen vaguely seemed to remember his name, but forgot what specific deeds he had.

If you have the chance, maybe you should go to this master of weapons design to communicate.

Yu Guozhen was not arrogant enough to think that a retired official who had been the right attendant of the military department would go to him, but he didn't know that at this time, in Xiang'an, an old man on crutches, accompanied by two young people, arrived at the door of the Xiliu Courtyard.

"It is said that the firearms used by Yu Jimin's family are very sophisticated, and the old man wants to see the world today." The old man smiled and said, "Dengfu, you go and call the door for the old man." ”

This old man is Bi Maokang, he was originally a native of Nanzhili, but because he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he did not reach his home after several raids. Now that Yu Guozhen's capture of Gao Yingxiang has been widely spread, although he is old, he can't help but want to see what the firearms used by the Yu family, who have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, are like.
