Chapter 42: The Maoshan Faction

In the courtyard, Chen Bao told Zhao Zheng everything about tonight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"That's it? You didn't kill him? Zhao Zheng was surprised that Chen Bao was able to hold back the hatred in his heart and did not kill him.

Chen Bao sighed in his heart, if he really killed that person, although Shi Miyuan would not turn his face with Zhao Zheng, there would definitely be a gap, not to mention that now his life was given by Zhao Zheng, he would never do anything to trouble Zhao Zheng, everything had to wait until he retrieved the rubber for Zhao Zheng before acting. Of course, an old man in his forties was a little difficult to speak, so he had to find an excuse: "You only let me shoot once!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but smile, comprehended Chen Bao's thoughts, and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

The two were very light, but they were very heavy in Chen Bao's heart, and they instantly filled their entire chest, and a line of tears burst out.

Zhao Zheng got up and patted Chen Bao's shoulder to comfort him, but found that his hand couldn't reach Chen Bao's shoulder.

Chen Bao discovered Zhao Zheng's embarrassment in an instant, so he squatted down very comically so that Zhao Zheng's hand could reach it.

The two looked at each other, and for another moment, the two laughed.

"Go down and rest, the two dark guards you chose for me are very skilled, with them, you don't have to keep vigil for me tonight, you are tired tonight."

Chen Bao hesitated: "But what if that Taoist priest comes again?" ”

Chen Bao was talking about Gao Linmen, who basically tried to get close to Zhao Zheng every night, but was blocked by Chen Bao.

"It's okay, I happened to ask him something tonight."

……

After Chen Bao retreated, Zhao Zheng held the flintlock pistol that Chen Bao returned, and sighed that Chen Bao actually tried it once and it sounded.

Zhao Zheng has been in Lin'an for a month, this has the top craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not a problem to make a flintlock pistol, it is nothing more than a bit of silver, the cost of this flintlock pistol is about 10,000 yuan, in ancient times, it was enough to describe a well-off family with 10,000 yuan of family wealth to show that it was expensive to make this gun.

In this era, there was already a fire sickle that used flint to make fire, so there was no insurmountable gap in the technology of making a flintlock pistol.

Contrary to the impression of the world, the flintlock pistol is not the same as the modern rifled flintlock pistol. The so-called rifled gun is a rifled gun with rifling in the chamber, and the rifling gives the bullet the ability to rotate, so that the bullet still maintains the established direction after being discharged, and the accuracy and distance are greatly improved. And his requirements for bullets are also very high, requiring a very small error between each bullet, otherwise the bullet will not be launched, and there may be a chamber explosion, you can imagine how high the requirements for science and technology are for large-scale production.

The flintlock pistol only changes the way the gun is fired, from the fire rope to flint, and it is still necessary to stuff gunpowder into the barrel in advance, then the projectile and the crushing step, and then the refined gunpowder must be introduced into the firing pool. And when the second shot is fired, the barrel must be cleaned again, and there is a lot of residue after the explosion, and if it is not cleaned, there may be a danger of exploding.

In addition to the fact that it is expensive to build, it is simply impossible to manufacture and equip the army.

Chen Bao was shocked when he saw Zhao Zheng fire with an arquebus that day, so he begged Zhao Zheng to borrow this thing for him to kill the masked man, Zhao Zheng knew that he was obsessed with it, and he was also quite disgusted with the masked man's practices, so he lent him the flintlock pistol that he had just made. As for Shi Miyuan, he had already thought of an explanation. The life of the masked man is in Shi Miyuan's heart, and only one explanation is enough.

Zhao Zheng lent the gun to Chen Bao and only let him shoot it once, he told Chen Bao that the firing rate of this flintlock pistol was only about fifty percent, and it was up to God to decide whether the first shot could be fired, but he did not tell him that this gun could only be fired once.

Even if he didn't succeed the first time, Zhao Zheng expected that the masked man would not dare to kill Chen Bao, because Chen Bao was already his person!

That's why Chen Bao recited a "spell" before shooting to ensure that the bullet could be fired. So after firing the first shot, he still didn't need the masked man, he thought that this shot could be fired in contact.

I don't know if it's a pity or a gratification, Chen Bao's first shot could have been aimed at the masked man's heart or head, but he chose his shoulder.

――

After Chen Bao retreated, it was already late at night, and Zhao Zheng was also ready to go back to the house to sleep.

Suddenly, a figure climbed over the wall and entered, and it was Gao Linmen.

Zhao Zheng used gestures to tell the secret guard not to move, and let him come in.

Gao Linmen was relieved to see that Zhao Zheng didn't let that evil shout stop him today, and now he is also a little afraid of Zhao Zheng.

Afraid of the gun in his hand.

"You're not going back? You've been in Lin'an for more than a month. Aren't you afraid that the sect will change? After Zhao Zheng asked Gao Linmen to sit down, he raised the gun in his hand, which was quite demonstrative.

Gao Linmen was also a little frightened by the power of that gun, and that day he saw Zhao Zheng use this thing to shoot and wound a good hand in the rivers and lakes. Of course, this is also because the musket is shrouded in a veil of mystery, and if he knew the performance and many shortcomings of the musket, he would not be as afraid of it as he is now.

"The national teacher is kind-hearted, and he didn't kill Sun Fuji that day."

The so-called Sun Buer was the warlock who wanted to kill Zhao Zheng that day.

"I'm here to save people, I don't want to kill people. I have already handed over the people to the yamen, and the government will take care of it. ”

Yes, now that the autumn is high, there is no need to judge the autumn queen to ask for beheading, dare to assassinate the national teacher, and was directly dragged to the noon gate by Dali Temple and cut it off. Gao Linmen is now facing Zhao Zheng, and the chips in his hand have basically been lit up.

The imperial court has allowed Baiyun Taoist Temple to accept apprentices on a large scale, and the number of places is not capped, and Zhao Zheng responded by promising that these Taoist priests will still pay taxes in the future. And after several assassination incidents, after Zhao Zheng pointed out a copper mine to the imperial court, the imperial court also allowed Zhao Zheng to recruit guards, but not more than 1,000 people.

With the financial resources that Zhao Zheng has now, in less than ten years, who in the Daomen will be able to withstand him. Even Longhu Mountain succumbed to it.

"I allow you to declare to the public that I am the reincarnation of Tao Hongjing, but I will not admit it in public."

Zhao Zheng's words suddenly made Gao Linmenfeng turn around and be overjoyed.

"In the future, as long as the national teacher says a word, I will go to the Maoshan faction in the Qing Dynasty."

Zhao Zheng saw Gao Linmen jumping into the pit so anxiously, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"The people of your Maoshan faction will learn my Taoism and take my books as classics."

"This ......" Gao Linmen hesitated a little, this thing is a foundation, and it can't be moved easily, so he said cautiously: "At this time, I still have to wait until I go back and discuss carefully with the elders of the sect before I can reply." ”

Zhao Zheng raised his gun and pointed it at Gao Linmen with evil taste, but there was actually no bullet in it at all: "I'll wait here until you agree." ”

Gao Linmen's head was dark, why did he feel that this sentence was familiar? This is exactly what he said to Zhao Zheng a month ago, but he didn't expect that the situation has completely reversed today.

"The national teacher, put down the immortal weapon!"

"Oh!" Zhao Zheng put it down disapprovingly and then laughed: "Scare you!" ”

Gao Linmen didn't laugh until he was glared at by Zhao Zheng and laughed.

"Let me ask you something, why do you cultivate?"

Speaking of this, Gao Linmen was angry, he was the only son of a large family in Zhenjiang Mansion, and his father was coaxed by his dead ghost master Ren Yuanfu to say that this son died young, so his father hurried to take more concubines, otherwise the Gao family would be broken.

His master was the thirty-fifth sect of the Maoshan faction, and what he said was naturally convincing, so his father panicked, asked for a way to crack it, and thanked him heavily, and then his master reluctantly accepted him as a disciple and resolved the disaster for him.

Then after his father's death, the high-priced family property was used as the property of the Maoshan faction, of course, his master did not treat him badly, and he still passed on the position of grandmaster to him knowing what Gao Linmen was.

Gao Linmen said this indignantly, the precepts of the Maoshan faction, as a grandmaster, he could not marry a wife, which made him quite angry.

Zhao Zheng snapped his fingers at Gao Linmen when he heard this, and this matter was easy to do: "After I am the ancestor of your Maoshan faction, you are no longer a grandmaster, can't you marry a wife?" ”

Gao Linmen was excited at first, and then felt that he couldn't make it, although he couldn't marry a wife, but he could go to prostitution, who would recognize him as a Taoist priest after taking off this Taoist robe.

Besides, Taoist priests can also marry wives in this era, otherwise how did the descendants of Zhang Daoling of Longhu Mountain come from?

Except for a few who really want to explore the way of heaven and man, the rest are either forced by life or for the sake of wealth. "You have brought my words to your sect and followed me, as long as you do not become a traitor, I will ensure that they will be rich."

The reason why Zhao Zheng was willing to agree to Gao Linmen was that he was a chemist who coveted the alchemy of the Maoshan faction, and now that his position was stable, he needed to start expanding his strength.

"In addition to this time, I also want you to help me check one thing, is there anyone else behind Sun Buer?"
