Since Zhao Zheng was assassinated twice, he vowed not to let himself be in danger again and stand under the dangerous wall. The pen "fun" pavilion was established www.biquge.info the glass workshop in Lin'an, and the two governments convened the craftsmen of the ordnance supervision and then transferred a few skilled hands from Guangzhou to form a set of teams, all of which were the top craftsmen in China.

Gunpowder was invented in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not like later generations to despise the Song Dynasty, China invented gunpowder but used it to make firecrackers, and after it was introduced to the West, it was developed into a weapon, and then opened the door to China after the ** war. In fact, the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" written by Zeng Gongliang of the Northern Song Dynasty recorded nine kinds of firearms, such as iron-beaked fire harriers, flying sickles, thunderbolts, fireballs, and earth-shaking thunder. And it has been used on the battlefield, but because the gunpowder of this era is not the best formula, the power is insufficient, and the preparation time of the firearms manufactured is long, and it cannot be used for a long time, some are one-time consumables, the cost is high, and the same money is used to build the magic arm bow and the like is obviously more cost-effective, etc., which seriously restrict the use of firearms on the battlefield.

In the second year of Song Gaozong Shaoxing, the stereotype invented the musket, but at that time, the musket was made of bamboo poles, and the gunpowder was loaded in the bamboo pole to spray gunpowder to the enemy, until the first year of Song Lizong's Kaiqing, that is, 30 years later, Shouchun people invented the assault rifle made of thick bamboo barrels. Unlike a musket that spurs flames to burn people, the assault rifle is equipped with a "sub-kiln", and when the gunpowder is ignited, a strong gas pressure will be generated, and the "sub-kiln" will eventually be shot out and hit the target. "Ziyi" is the original bullet.

It is different from the impression that gunpowder and muskets were eliminated from history as soon as they appeared. It was in Europe, from the fourteenth century, that artillery and muskets appeared in the equipment of all countries, and after successive generations of technological improvements, it was not until the 19th century that the cavalry was completely eliminated.

Just like the musket of the Ming Dynasty, although it is very close to the modern money-bore smoothbore gun in terms of construction principle, due to the complex steps and slow loading speed, the well-trained soldiers can only shoot one bullet at most a minute, which can not form an effective fire suppression, and is even far inferior to the bow and crossbow in actual combat, and the short range, insufficient power, and the influence of climatic factors and other factors have seriously restricted the popularity of the musket, as well as its status in the war.

The manufacture of guns tests the scientific and technological level of the entire country, especially the barrel.

But the barrel in Zhao Zheng's hand took countless craftsmen to build, countless refurnaces, and countless times of practice to get this qualified open flame gun in his hand.

"Want to see a firework?" Zhao Zheng asked this sentence for a long time, but no one responded.

Zhao Zheng was holding a standard open flame gun in his hand, because the development time was too short, it was only five days, and he couldn't make a better musket, so Zhao Zheng had to take this general. Pour some gunpowder into the barrel before putting lead bullet into the barrel while shoving the crush into the holding bullet.

Then the refined gunpowder is poured into the firing pool behind the barrel, and the fire rope is fixed to the trigger, and then all that remains is aiming, ignition, and any mistake in the whole process will cause the musket to fail.

The follower observed Zhao Zheng for a long time before confirming that there was no place near him that could hide for the secret guards, and only then did he jump closer to Zhao Zheng, he and Zhao Zheng were less than twenty steps, and he was confident that no matter how many secret guards Zhao Zheng had around him, he would not be able to block the long knife in his hand.

"Which way are you? They want to take my life. ”

The man couldn't see his face with a face veil: "It's only the national teacher who kicked the guy we were eating." ”

The musket has been loaded, Zhao Zheng opened the fire fold, the musket was already aimed at the person, and he said unhurriedly: "I will only let more people live, and I will never do anything to kick people's jobs." ”

The man couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw Zhao Zheng holding a strange stick at him, he was conceited that he now had enough time and ability to kill Zhao Zheng, so he decided to torture Zhao Zheng slowly to vent his hatred.

"The bamboo basket draws water, the oil pot takes money, the fire is not extinguished, the ghost knocks on the door, the national teacher! We have no grievances with the past, and we have no enmity in the near future, and after you make these spell truths public, we who rely on these people to eat will lose our jobs. ”

Zhao Zheng taught that in order to increase the enthusiasm of the audience in those days, he uncovered several classic deceptions in ancient times on the spot, so this time it was purely a mistake, but Zhao Zheng would not sympathize with them: "I'm sorry, that's not your job, it's what you stole from someone else's job!" So you want to kill me? ”

The person in front of him probably suddenly found that the means of making a living were gone, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, after these deceptions were unraveled in later generations, I didn't see those liars starving to death, after thousands of years of development, there are all kinds of deceptions, which Zhao Zheng can easily summarize, and besides, fools in this world can't be deceived. The person in front of him wants to make dangerous moves, and he doesn't look at who Zhao Zheng is, obviously his IQ is not high, and his heart is black. It can really be said that it is not a pity to die.

"I'll show you a firework." Zhao Zheng lit the fire rope, and in an instant, lead bullets erupted from the barrel of the gun.

Chen Bao, who was not far away, was intoxicated by the flames that erupted from the barrel of the gun.

――

In a very ordinary opera garden in the south of the city, there is a relatively new type of play, and the actors all wear masks to perform, but because the singers are not born in the classroom, the people in the south of the city do not like it, but the advantage is that the price is cheap, and it only takes two pennies to enter, so if the residents of the south of the city feel that there is nothing to do after dinner, they will come here from time to time for recreation.

There are not many guests today, although the singing on the stage is lively, but the audience is not so concentrated, talking to themselves, occasionally glancing at the actors on the stage.

Chen Bao sat below, but looked at the performers on stage very quietly and seriously.

The person who sang a supporting role, but always stood on the stage, wearing a mask, Chen Bao recognized. How could he not recognize the man with the mask? It was his former chief, how could he not remember the enemy who killed his whole family?

Chen Bao has never seen the true face of that person, and in fact, no one may have seen his true face, he is either dressed in black, or wearing a mask, he will never go out when he has nothing to do, he stays in his mansion quietly and self-disciplined, and it seems that he never intended to live in the sun.

But he has a shortcoming or hobby, that is, singing, every three or two days he will come to this opera garden to sing, this is the only place for him to communicate with the outside world normally.

Chen Bao also knew that he would come to this place every other time in a chance person, Chen Bao had been waiting in this place for three days, and it was only today that he confirmed that the person was coming.

The smell of blood on his body could not be hidden.

Chen Bao sat there quietly for two hours, until the audience and actors gradually dispersed.

Only the masked man and Chen Bao were left, and the masked man had already discovered Chen Bao.

But what does it matter? The masked man thought that behind him was the Prime Minister's Mansion, who would dare to kill him? Even if Chen Bao disregarded the overall situation and acted bravely, how could he be afraid of a lone Chen Bao, even if he held a bow and crossbow, he was not afraid.

He is confident that the entire world, including the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia, will not be able to fight with more than five people. So when he saw Chen Bao, he didn't panic, just scornfully mocked, and the ant could only express his anger in this way.

"I'll remember you, and I won't let you go!" I've lost count of how many times I've heard similar roaring masked men, but there's no doubt that they're all dead, and he's alive to this day.

"I thought you'd be smarter, Chen Bao! Originally, I still had a trace of admiration for you, but you disappointed me so much that even if you climbed the high branch of the national teacher, you couldn't help me. What did you come to me for today? Are you trying to say that one day you're going to kill me? ”

Chen Bao was still sitting below, no more than fifty paces away from him.

"You're talking a little too much today. Are you scared? ”

The masked man seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and let out a laugh: "Being relentlessly climbed into the boot by an ant several times makes people feel a little irritated." ”

Chen Bao stood up and took out a spear and pointed it at the masked man, this time there was no fire rope, only a trigger.

"I just wanted you to watch a firework, dog thief!" Chen Bao imitated what Zhao Zheng said that day, and he thought it was a spell to use this immortal weapon.

The masked man looked at the pitch-black hole aimed at him, and suddenly felt a little frightened, but Chen Bao had already pulled the trigger, and the pipe body was sprayed with flames, and the lead bullet hit his right shoulder directly.

The masked man covered the huge wound on his left shoulder, and at this moment he still had the strength to act, and he could fight back. But he was too badly injured to kill Chen Bao in good health, and he couldn't even guarantee that he would escape.

What frightened him even more was that Chen Bao's gun was aimed at him again, closer than before, and he was afraid that if something shot out of the barrel of the gun again, then he would definitely die.

"You dare to kill me?" As Chen Bao approached, the masked man's mental defense was crumbling.

Chen Bao smiled: "Why don't you dare?" ”

The masked man reminded with some trepidation: "It's Shi Xianggong standing behind me!" ”

Chen Bao's smile became even stronger, listening to the masked man's voice that had changed tone, he felt the panic inside, there was nothing more happy and exciting for him.

"The one standing behind me is the national teacher, he is an immortal, and Shi Laogou is just a human! Don't you wonder what I'm holding in my hand? ”

The masked man took two steps back: "What is it?" ”

"Of course, it was an immortal weapon given to me by the national teacher. All I need to do is pull the trigger one more time, and you'll die!" ”

The masked man suddenly let out a sharp roar: "You can't kill me!" Do you want a rift between the Xianggong and the national teacher? ”

Chen Bao had already come to the masked man at this time, and laughed loudly: "How important do you think you are in Shi Miyuan's heart?" Is it worth him to turn against the national teacher? ”

Chen Bao said the biggest fear in the hearts of the mask people, yes, what is the difference between himself and Chen Bao for Shi Miyuan?

"I'm not going to kill you!" Chen Bao suddenly said these words, causing the masked man who had collapsed to suddenly soften, but he had already lost all his essence, and his eyes became empty.

Then a foot was stepped on his face, and he did not resist, nor did he have the strength to resist. That was Chen Bao's feet, that was the insult that Chen Bao gave him.

The mask was trampled on, Chen Bao didn't look back, he didn't bother to see what face was under the mask: "Mole ant! ”

At this time, Chen Bao addressed the masked man at this time, and then after the masked man heard Chen Bao's footsteps go away, he suddenly laughed: "You don't dare to kill me after all!" ”

What about ants, I'm still alive! And in the eyes of the national teacher, you are only afraid that it is no different from ants!

――

At night, a large fireworks were set off in the palace, and the people of Lin'an City could see this grand occasion, and today was the birthday of Empress Dowager Yang.

Zhao Zheng sat in his courtyard, and behind him was Chen Bao, who had just returned home.

"Are fireworks pretty?" Zhao Zheng asked lightly.

"Beautiful!" Chen Bao bowed down and replied.

After the prosperity of the fireworks, there is loneliness, and the era of personal martial arts has quietly ended in a corner that no one knows about tonight.

But a new era has not yet begun, and this fireworks is just a curtain call.
