Chapter 474: Test the gun
The battle between Senior Brother and Duguqing is destined not to be known to outsiders. Senior brother didn't say it, of course Xie Shence didn't know that Yuwen Yong, who he wanted to kill now, had such a teacher who didn't dare to say anything to the senior brother.
If you know, the plan that Xie Shence made overnight will have to be revised.
Yes, Xie Shence already has a detailed plan. The plan to kill Yu Wenyong.
Based on their identity and personality, Xie Shence and Yu Wenyong are the kind of people who will not hand over their backs or even the sides to each other even if they are on the united front now.
This point, the Northwest Army and the Yuwen Department have a clear heart. When the He Lou Department was unable to increase its bargaining chips, the military deployment of the Northwest Army and the Yuwen Department both coincidentally strengthened their flanks in the same direction of the offensive to prevent the allies from sneaking attacks.
-- It is not the argument of harming others and guarding against others, but in the past few years of joining hands, the two sides have clashed over each other's military exploits, picked each other's faults, passed the buck to each other, and even at celebration banquets. The Northwest Army obviously won't trust the Yuwen Department who is not of our race, and the Yuwen Ministry won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that the big seal pressed by the Northwest Army on the agreement can represent everything, especially integrity.
This negotiation is actually a mutually beneficial but not reciprocal treaty for the Ministry of Liberal Arts and the Northwest. The Northwest needs money, and the Ubundo needs goods, and both sides are trying to strengthen their own presence while improving their strength.
-- The northwest is in a corner but is by no means safe, and the Yuwen Department and the Tuoba Department will have a life-and-death battle sooner or later in order to compete for the hegemony of the grassland.
It is said that each takes what he needs and cooperates with each other, but in the end it is necessary to part ways. For the Northwest Army, the former wolf and the tiger are not a joke, and similarly, for the Yuwen Department, a strong neighbor is definitely not what they want.
It's just that for now, the two sides still have to pretend to be hello and me in order to meet each other on the day when they can meet each other.
The wheels of history roll forward, and once the general trend rises, the power of the individual is insignificant. Even the Northwest Army, which is in the northwest, and the Yuwen Department, which has always been low-key but has to be ignored, can only make a choice in the face of the situation, but they can't rely on their preferences.
It can't be changed, but the room for choice can be regarded as the favor of fate.
If it is someone else, such as the old marching army Sima Wu Yanhua and others, they may be born in it and become a historical witness and be complacent. But Xie Shence is not one of these people, he may not be able to see farther than those old men who have been comfortably worn away from their edges and corners for more than 20 years, but in terms of details, he is more detailed than many people.
The more this is the case, the more Xie Shence, who firmly believes that details determine the result, will find that Yu Wenyong, a man who is like a shy boy next door, will become a stumbling block for him in the future. Even the great enemy of the Northwest Army. So he's going to kill him.
Xie Shence's overall situation is not bad, at least among his peers or those who are five or six years older, he can be regarded as a leader. Therefore, he was able to directly sneer at a group of old military leaders, and even greeted the big-eared scrapers back then.
He is not afraid of those old people who take a back seat to exert their residual heat and even work the front line, because no matter how powerful they are, they will not live long, and he is grateful that Shence still has at least forty or fifty years to live.
But he was afraid of some people. For example, His Majesty the Emperor in Jindu, who had already torn his face in private, General Sima who held hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the young emperor of Qin in the west, the Xu family of the Bai family, and the Tuoba Department, the Yuwen Department and the Yan people.
If there is a chance, Xie Shence, who has always pursued the principle of cutting grass without eradicating the roots, will definitely kill them with one blow, cut them into seventeen or eighteen sections, and then burn them to ashes.
Now that Yuwen Yong is in front of him, he pondered and meditated all night before he found a way that was 60% sure of Yu Wenyong and got rid of it.
How could he possibly let it go?
In the early morning, after the planning was completed, Xie Shence, who received half-good news and dark circles under his eyes, met the senior brother in the martial arts hall.
"Senior brother didn't return overnight?"
The senior brother smiled and said, "I saw an old man. β
Xie Shence frowned when he saw Senior Brother's arm.
"I'll transfer someone."
"It doesn't matter."
The senior brother grabbed Xie Shence, who was about to kill the cavalry.
He knew that his little junior brother would be impulsive sometimes, and as his senior brother, he couldn't be impulsive with him most of the time. Especially if Xie Shence really attacked the big chivalrous guest who had disappeared in the Central Plains for a long time, then the result was likely to be unpredictable even for him.
Senior Brother looked into Xie Shence's eyes and said, "What were you doing last night?" β
Thank you for being inexplicable.
"You are in a hurry, your steps are vain, and there is a fierce look in your eyes, who are you going to kill?"
Xie Shence was stunned for a moment and said, "A person who has to be killed." β
Senior Brother can climb to the pinnacle of martial arts, naturally he is not a dull person, but he is now indifferent, and he has always been unwilling to pay more attention to military and political affairs, so Xie Shence doesn't say who he killed, he doesn't care anymore.
"When?"
Xie Shence said with a smile: "Senior brother and the old man want to meet, it must be a skill-itching exchange." I haven't seen anyone who can hurt my brother so far. Senior brother is at the peak of his spirit at this time, and some trivial things will not bother senior brother. β
The elder brother didn't say much, said "be careful" and left.
Xie Shence then found He Ruoque and asked him to make all the arrangements-
Last night was in the limelight, and the scolding was naturally very happy, but the high-profile entry into the master offended a large number of people after all, so after breakfast, some young people made a fuss in front of the house.
"Thank you! Get out! β
"Insult my uncle, come out and fight alone!"
"If you really think you're a thing, anyone dares to scold?"
"I don't know whether to live or die, the master will teach you to be a man"
With the generals and the guards, the young boy brother did not make up for sleep during the day for the first time in preparation for the needs of the night, and even appeared in front of the house bought by Wang Qingyan, scolding, one by one speaking the authentic Northwest dialect that can no longer be authentic, the words are correct and round, and the scolding is hearty and reasonable. Compared to last night, the strategy of thanking God is cold and hurtful, and I don't know how many times it is to be righteous.
I made an appointment last night, so five or six came early this morning, plus the guards, there were thirty or forty people, turning Huangchuan Road Street into a vegetable market for shrews and scolding streets. These people ignore the strange eyes of people traveling, and occupy most of the road, making the traffic difficult. And depending on the situation, the number of people coming today will continue to increase, and it will be a matter of time before Huangchuan Road is blocked.
Xie Shence naturally heard the shouting and scolding outside early, and said in his heart that if Wang Qingyan hadn't gone out early, I was afraid that he would have blocked the door.
He didn't go out, nor did he deliberately withdraw the gatekeeper to close the door or pull hundreds of people into an arrogant fight, before Yuwen Yong died, he didn't feel that he should focus on that group of second ancestors who were not small in energy and were also not small.
didn't get a response from Xie Shence, so a group of second ancestors scattered joy and threw out any ugly words. It's not that no one serves Xie Shence's family with words, but after a certain second ancestor was "picked up" by the old man in the family within a quarter of an hour after saying such a dirty word, everyone's firepower was focused on Xie Shence alone.
Some people are not stupid, they know which people can be scolded and which people can't be touched, for example, someone said before that Xie Shence shrunk his head and the turtle did his best to get the true inheritance of Xie Erye, and that son was grounded by his father, who was the general of Huaihua Zhonglang. As for some women in the Xie family, they are either related to the royal family or famous all over the world, and they dare not take them. Even everyone knows that the first beauty of the Great Jin Dynasty who has never appeared in the northwest is in this mansion.
Therefore, the most damaging words for Xie Shence's character are just painless words such as flowers inserted in cow dung, which makes Xie Shence not feel angry at all, and it also makes the scolding person feel powerless.
There are not a few ancestors on Huangchuan Road, and it is not excluded that there are many people who have the idea of being able to take the opportunity to scold Xie Shence and witness the abundance of the first beauty of the Great Jin Dynasty.
It's just that Xie Shence didn't plan to pay attention to them at the beginning, and he wouldn't hide himself and let Wang Jiehua come forward to solve this ugly thing of being blocked at the door of the house and scolding, so many hoarse people outside are destined to not get a response, and it is even more foolish to see Wang Jiehua.
Xie Shence was holding something at this time and observing it carefully.
"Hee-hee, burn the stick"
Little Jasmine pointed to the pitch-black long stick in Xie Shence's hand and smiled, Xie Shence's face couldn't hold it, and he was very embarrassed.
What he has in his hand is the first fire and gun of this era.
Zuo Tiehammer, who was in Yangzhou City, was after all the best blacksmith of his time - he solved the problem of sealing round iron.
The hardships are not enough for outsiders, Xie Shence's fingers rubbed the rough engravings on the surface of the barrel, thinking of the "Black Yama King" that was still being carefully made, and he lost his mind for a moment.
After receiving this gift this morning, Xie Shence, who was too late to be happy, opened a letter that was also from Yangzhou City, and was a little depressed.
The left hammer died.
After decades of hard work, the old man, who had been breathing for so many years just to develop such a "weapon of evil", suffered great wear and tear in his body, heart and lungs, and died in pain in bed a month ago.
Wang Jiehua saw the far-fetched nature of Xie Shence's embarrassed smile, so she took Xiao Jasmine away, leaving Liu Guitian and a group of technicians to observe in the yard.
Liu Guitian excitedly introduced to Xie Shence this weapon that Xie Shence named "gun" - in fact, he thought that this kind of thing was more appropriate to call it a gun - spittle, and his face was flushed.
Xie Shence looked at the fifteen-pound iron lump in his hand a little helplessly, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Not to mention that it is difficult to carry, and it is impossible to maintain continuous shooting, and it is not even possible to guarantee the crosshair, it is really a chicken rib, and it is extremely inconvenient to use, and it makes people reluctant to give up.
Thinking that this kind of thing of more than ten catties was an anti-equipment mass killing weapon that could take people's lives thousands of kilometers away in that era, but here, it has become a big iron rod that is not even as good as a one-handed or crossbow.
The big iron rod and the big iron bar are good, and the weight is not much worse than the Mo knife. If you don't have time to load the ammunition, you can still use it as an iron rod, and this thing is no worse than a hammer.
Xie Shence comforted himself in his heart, and his mood was much better in the midst of self-deprecation.
Under Liu Guitian's guidance, Xie Shence meticulously loaded and reloaded, then ignited, raised his arm and aimed hard
"Bang!"
A loud bang and a puff of black smoke sent Xie Shence back several steps.
Waiting for the choking smoke to dissipate, Xie Shence, who had a black and gray face, rubbed his aching shoulders and looked at the rockery in front of him, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Liu Guitian and the others, who were originally going to congratulate loudly, suddenly fell silent.
Traces of ammunition were indeed left on the rockery twenty paces away, and the precious flowers and plants on the rockery were also ravaged.
But there are only a few white spots, which are too shallow.
Xie Shence smiled awkwardly: "These are all granite transported from Heishui County, which is relatively hard"
