Chapter 770: The Palace Tests the Gun
After explaining to Yu Niang, and then the group braved the wind and snow, and the carriage finally slowly drove into the capital. ()
This time when he returned to Beijing, Xiao Mo brought back a musket, which was the first time he had seen this thing in the An Dynasty.
So that day, the palace attracted a group of ministers, including Ji Ping, to come and observe, and Zhao Quan also felt very novel after seeing the musket, and hurriedly asked Xiao Mo to take everyone to the martial arts arena to demonstrate.
Even the queen mother and Concubine Yun also came to the martial arts arena together!
Xiao Mo stood a hundred meters away from the target, and then pierced the target with one shot!
Everyone was amazed, this target was made of several layers of wooden planks, and usually the bow and arrow could not shoot through a distance of more than ten meters, and even if the strength was a little smaller, the arrow could not penetrate into the plank.
But Xiao Mo easily let go of his hand, and a hundred meters away, he pierced the target!
What is this concept?
Zhao Quan looked at Xiao Mo puzzled and asked, "Ziheng, this musket is actually so powerful?" That target was pierced by this musket? ”
Xiao Mo nodded, then handed the musket to Zhao Quan and said to him: "Your Majesty, this is Lord Zeng's latest invention, after having a musket, you can take people's lives a hundred meters away!" From then on, the iron cavalry of the Liao State can be broken with a snap of a finger! ”
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Zhao Quan became excited: "Ziheng, is this true?" Is this musket really so powerful? ”
Xiao Mo smiled, didn't answer Zhao Quan's question, directly loaded the projectile, and then said to Zhao Quan: "Is it serious, the emperor can try it himself!" ”
Zhao Quan took the gun, and at first he didn't know how to use it, he even took the gun backwards, and the muzzle of the gun was facing him, which scared Xiao Mo! Xiao Mo hurriedly stepped forward, adjusted the muzzle of the gun, and then told Zhao Quan how to shoot.
Zhao Quan nodded to Xiao Mo, then aimed at the target and pulled the trigger, only to hear a '......bang', the bullet whistled out, and then directly penetrated the target!
And Zhao Quan was also unprepared, and his arm was numb by the recoil of the musket, and then the pistol fell to the ground!
Xiao Mo picked up the pistol, and then said to Zhao Quan: "Your Majesty, this thing is an important weapon of the country, and its power is too powerful, if it is in the hands of someone with bad intentions, I am afraid that it will hurt the innocent!" So...... This thing must be strictly controlled, please set up a military aircraft department, special jurisdiction over muskets, except for the musket battalion, if there are guns, kill! ”
Zhao Quan personally experienced the power of the musket, and naturally he was quite afraid of this musket!
For example, now, Xiao Mo has a musket in his hand, if Xiao Mo has bad intentions, who can escape from the people present?
Thinking of this, Zhao Quan nodded to Xiao Mo, and then said, "This matter will be discussed tomorrow morning, and there are ...... Zeng Gongliang worked hard for the country, first made a cannon, and now he has created this powerful musket, which I deserve to be rewarded! ”
Xiao Mo said to Zhao Quan: "Your Majesty, before the minister came to the capital, Lord Zeng once said that if the court wanted a reward, he would accept it, but he would not leave the Luzhou military camp!" ”
Zhao Quan heard this and sighed: "The pillars of the country are also! Then he turned his head to Ji Ping and said, "Ji Aiqing, this matter will be handed over to Menxia Province for discussion, and the matter of the reward will be reported to the court tomorrow morning!" ”
After that, Zhao Quan took Concubine Yun and the queen back to the imperial study.
The weather was very cold, and Zhao Quan's body was not very good, so he couldn't stay in the martial arts arena for a long time.
After returning to the imperial study, Zhao Quan said to Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, how many muskets are there?" ”
As soon as Xiao Mo heard this, he knew that Zhao Quan was interested in muskets, and this was looking for himself for muskets in a different direction!
Zhao Quan is the emperor, and this musket should be given to him logically, but ......
The emperor is angry, but he will kill, and he gave him a musket, if Zhao Quan is unhappy in the future, and facing the minister in the court is a shot, then it will be repaid?
So Xiao Mo said to Zhao Quan: "Your Majesty, there are still a few musketeers here, but they are just ......"
Zhao Quan knew what Xiao Mo meant, so he said: "Don't worry, I just need to play, besides, if I want to kill someone, do I still need to do it myself?" ”
Zhao Quan's words were not bad, so Xiao Mo said: "In this case, for the safety of the emperor, this musket can be played with by the emperor, but the projectile cannot be given to the emperor!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Quan was not angry, and said to Xiao Mo: "That's right! ”
Then, Xiao Mo sent a carved dragon musket that had been prepared for Zhao Quan to Zhao Quan's hand, but there was no projectile in this musket.
After Zhao Quan got the musket, he was very happy, and at this time, Concubine Yun snorted coldly, and said to Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, now that you have become a general, you are not close to people?" Now An Ning and An Ping have also been hooked by you, this palace is in this palace, there is no companion to speak, you say, should this musket also be given to this palace? ”
Concubine Yun is so martial, her eyes were already lit up when she saw this musket, Xiao Mo knew that she couldn't hide from her, and ...... sent Concubine Yun, can this queen not send it?
So just like that, Xiao Mo sent out two more muskets, and there were only two left in his hands, plus his own, a total of three muskets!
Xiao Moke couldn't give these two muskets out anymore, they had to hide them, otherwise Zhao Yao and Yun Xue would definitely blame themselves if they found out.
Sure enough, after leaving the imperial study, the palace maid had been waiting outside for a long time, and directly called Xiao Mo to Yunxue's bedroom.
"Bring it!" There was nothing to say about the pain of lovesickness, Zhao Yao directly stretched out his hand in front of Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo obediently handed over the musket, Yun Xue and Zhao Yao each had one, Zhao Yao asked how to use the musket while playing, and finally after the two girls learned it, Zhao Yao began to roll her eyes, wanting the projectile on Xiao Mo's body!
This is not a joke, Xiao Mo regrets it a little now, it is indeed a good thing that this musket was invented, but ...... And then came the troubles!
There are many bigwigs in the imperial court, and there are many concubines in the palace, as well as princesses! If everyone wants one and carries a projectile with them, wouldn't it be a mess?
The palace in the future, isn't that a rain of bullets? It's too dangerous!
Therefore, Xiao Mo said to Zhao Yao: "My good princess, this musket is an important weapon of the country, and it cannot be played ......."
"Got it!" Zhao Yao didn't have that patience, so he came directly to Xiao Mo's body and grabbed it: "Take it out for me!" ”
Xiao Mo couldn't make trouble with Zhao Yao, so in the end he had to give each of them a projectile, and then said to them: "You must know that this projectile must not be used indiscriminately, unless it is absolutely necessary, if it is used, it is a violation of the national law, I think...... You should know better than me what happened to you if you violated the law of the land, right? ”
