Hangzhou Prefecture, Fuyang County.

Hu Guanghou's face was a precursor to the coming tense of a storm at sea.

"When did you lose the firebolt?"

There was a row of more than a dozen people kneeling in front of him, silent.

"Don't pretend to be dead" He pointed to one of the people who were for it and scolded: "Wang Jincheng was introduced by you, you said first that you really saw the hell, not only can someone take the gun away from my Hu family, but also let people know when."

The craftsman knelt on the ground and shivered, and said: "Master, it was only a sample from four months ago, and many places are not perfect, maybe they didn't pay attention to it, so they were stolen by him."

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't let him enter the inner courtyard" Hu Guanghou had palpitations.

Wang Jincheng is a new craftsman who joined the Hu family in October last year, and he is skilled in making bird guns and has a clever brain. If it weren't for the Hu family's heart, I am afraid that he would have entered the inner courtyard of the workshop long ago.

The craftsman suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped himself in the mouth, saying: "Master, it's all my fault, I am familiar with Wang Jincheng, I didn't expect him to be a spy, so I bear the blame alone."

Hu Guanghou walked closer, stretched out his hand and slapped him on the right cheek, scolding: "You bear it alone, what can you bear?" ”

He is a native of Huizhou, his home is not far from She County, and in his early years, he heard that Bi Maokang, the ancestor of the Bi family in She County, had developed military weapons and wrote books and charts. Since the establishment of the weapons workshop, he has climbed several layers of relationships with the Bi family in She County, and it took another year to make friends, and finally spent 50,000 taels of silver to purchase the book "Illustrated Weapons of Weapons".

The book is a fascinating account of all sorts of ideas, especially the design of the construction of various firearms.

He discussed with skilled craftsmen, combined with existing firearms, and concluded that the self-made firearms depicted in the book were of the greatest value and most likely to be made on a large scale.

The structure of the self-generated fire gun is exquisite, and the faucet of the buckle plate machine is pressed down when ignition, and the fire is rubbed against the flint due to the effect of the spring. Not only did it overcome the difficulties caused by wind and rain to shooting, but it also did not need to press the faucet with his hands, so that the aiming was more accurate and he could shoot at any time. The flint gun is equipped with a flint automatic ignition device, which is not afraid of wind and rain and does not need to be ignited by the fire rope in advance, and the firing and accuracy are greatly improved.

However, in the initial samples, it is not uncommon for the sparks to ignite the gunpowder. Therefore, the craftsmen have been improving for most of the year. So far, this is already the fifth sample.

Hu Guanghou's anger did not subside, and a young man hurriedly walked in from the door, it was his nephew Hu Anming

As soon as Hu Anming entered the door, he said: "I have ordered people to investigate all over Hangzhou, Wang Jincheng is like a steamed world, and I will never see him again."

Hu Guanghou withdrew his attention from the craftsman, and said with a gloomy face: "Don't look for it, either the Liu family or the Zhu family, neither of them will let me catch the handle."

"So what now?"

Hu Guanghou thought about it and asked, "Has anyone from the Fan family and the Zhu family gone north recently?" ”

Hu Anming replied: "No, the third son of the Fan family and the people in charge of the Zhu family are all in Fuyang. ”

Hu Guanghou glanced at the craftsman kneeling on the ground. The matter has already been born, these craftsmen are the most exquisite talents of his Hu family, and no matter how much he beats and scolds, he can't get the self-generated fire gun back. Moreover, these people are familiar with the latest self-generated fire guns. He wants fire, and he also wants to buy people's hearts.

"Alright, you guys stand down"

The kneeling craftsman was relieved, got up and fled the house.

Hu Anming continued to ask: "What now?" ”

"If it's the Zhu family, it's okay to say, but if it's the Liu family, it's a big trouble" Hu Guanghou was upset. He originally wanted to wait for the development of the self-generated fire gun to be completed, and he made a hundred rods to present to the general, thus suppressing the Fan family and the Zhu family in one fell swoop.

"The Liu family and the King of Jin are close"

Hu Anming said this sentence redundantly.

Hu Guanghou pondered for a moment, immediately made a decision, and said: "Can't wait any longer, whether it's the Fan family or the Zhu family, as long as you take the bird gun back and take it apart, you can understand seven or eight percent, and the rest is just to perfect the details." Although that sample could not be mass-produced for the use of the army, it would inevitably be rewarded if it was presented to the King of Jin. A hundred steps, I walked ninety steps, and I couldn't fall in the last ten"

Hu Anming thought a lot, and asked: "If the Liu family has smuggled the bird gun to Nanjing, what should we do?" ”

Hu Guanghou's temples were beating, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will fight this lawsuit with him in front of King Jin." I don't believe that King Jin will not understand the catty in this."

Hu Anming was worried, and when he saw that his uncle was angry, he didn't dare to persuade him again.

"Take the twenty poles of your own bird in the warehouse, and find twenty guards to follow me to Hangzhou, and take the waterway to Nanjing tomorrow morning."

Hu Guanghou's voice was loud, Hu Anming was taken aback, and immediately turned around and went out to summon the guards.

The matter was urgent, and the Hu family said they would leave, and their group went out in a big way, attracting people's attention.

The Liu family is powerful, and although Hu Guanghou believes that King Jin will deal with it impartially, he has no bottom in his heart.

As soon as the Hu family came out here, Liu Taiguang, who was in charge of the weapons workshop in Fuyang, immediately ordered his family to follow him to Hangzhou, and took the canal waterway to Nanjing overnight to deliver a letter.

Hu Guanghou walked step by step, and he knew that he couldn't hide it from the Liu family. The Liu family has a huge power, has industries in various places, and can even mobilize government resources in an emergency, which is not comparable to the current Hu family.

The next morning, the passenger ship sailed down the canal. Two days later, Hu Guanghou and his entourage arrived in Nanjing.

Hu Anming was timid in his heart, and asked endlessly: "What if King Jin believes in the Liu family?" ”

Hu Guanghou sneered: "If the King of Jin is so easy to deceive, he will not be the King of Jin" He met the King of Jin in Huizhou City, and it was the King of Jin who introduced him to the road of weapon preparation. From the current point of view, there is no one in the Ming Dynasty who has a more long-term vision than King Jin, and how to do this kind of killing chickens and taking eggs.

Jin Wangfu.

In the middle of the morning, Liu Suifeng suddenly came to the house to meet him.

Zhai Zhe was feeding the birds, and these two ferocious birds made the high walls of the Jin Wangfu seem distant in the eyes of the people. Less closeness, more awe.

The meat strips were thrown out, Hai Dongqing stretched out his head, pecked the meat strips like lightning and swallowed them into his stomach.

In about a quarter of an hour, the two Haidong Qings were still unfinished, and the meat strips had been emptied.

The guards waited for Zhai Zhe to wash his bloody hands in the basin of water, and then retreated.

Zhai Zhe washed his hands and said, "Do you know? This beast also knows laziness, and if it is fed, it will shrink into its nest and not come out."

Liu Suifeng watched it for a long time, and replied with a smile: "I have only seen it in books, but I didn't expect the prince to figure out the habits of this Hai Dongqing in the past few days."

Zhai Zhe walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back and said: "Hai Dongqing is like this, and people are the same, if you can't maintain your hunger, when there is no **, that person will actually be dead."

Liu Suifeng's heart sank, and King Jin seemed to have something to say. How could such a Jin king lose his enterprising spirit

At this moment, a person came from the direction of the courtyard gate, and Fang Jin strode in.

"Lord Qiqi, Hu Guanghou of Hangzhou arrived in Nanjing today to ask for a meeting"

"Hu Guanghou, what did he come from?"

"He said there were treasures to be offered to the king."

"Treasures? Is this going to be a good thing? Zhai Zhe turned around and glanced at Liu Suifeng behind him, and saw that he was still looking at the two Haidong Qingdu.

"Will he like these two birds too?" Zhai Zhe changed his mind and instructed Fang Jin: "Pass him in."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Hu Guanghou walked into the Jin Palace, carrying twenty wooden boxes with twenty guards. Walking into the outer courtyard, the entourage and the wooden boxes were all seized by the guards, and he was the only one who entered.

Hu Guanghou followed Fang Jin to see the King of Jin, and he also saw the scribe behind the King of Jin, and the two Hai Dongqing in the rumor.

"Is this Liu Shilang?" After a little calculation in his heart, he decided to tell the truth. But the loss of the bird gun should not be mentioned again.

Liu followed the wind and caught up from behind, half a step behind Zhai Zhe and looked at Hu Guanghou. He came to the Jin Palace, and it was for this reason that he came.

"Tell the prince, the villain has recently developed a new type of bird gun in the workshop, which can be cast without a fire rope, so that the bird gun is not afraid of wind and snow."

"Really?" Zhai Zhe swallowed a mouthful of spit because of his excitement.

He knew that firearms were the future of weapons, but he was not familiar with how to make birds. But there were great talents in the market, and as long as it was profitable, he was sure that sooner or later firearms would be displayed as he imagined

"Since the bird gun is based on the Wanli age Bi Maokang's "Illustrated Description of Weapons" preparation, after eight months of refinement, has been able to equip the army with 20 poles this time I brought 20 poles are outside the door."

"Okay, take me to the test"

Several people followed Zhai Zhe to the outer courtyard, and Fang Jin commanded the guards to prepare for the test field and the wooden rake.

Hu Guanghou commanded the guards to open the twenty wooden boxes, and twenty brand-new bird guns appeared in front of everyone.

These twenty guards are also the Hu family's test guns, and they each stand in a row of cities thirty steps away from the target with bird guns. They loaded the lead and gunpowder like the other bird-bearers, then raised their guns forward and pulled the device

"Bang Bang Bang"

In the midst of everyone's stunned gaze, the smoke filled the air, because there was no need to use a fire rope, and the gunners had plenty of time to aim.

All twenty lead bolts hit the wooden rake.

"Good," Zhai Zhe stroked his palms and laughed.

These self-fire guns are much more precious than those two Haidongqing. It seems that those two birds of prey are really auspicious things.

The gun reloads the gunpowder lead company.

A faint smoke rose from the northeast corner of the Jin Palace.

Zhai Zhe roughly estimated that the degree of bird gun casting had increased by at least 30%, and the accuracy had been greatly improved.

After bombarding the five rows of guns, the guns stopped moving, and the birds were facing the sky, waiting for the evaluation of the King of Jin.

Hu Guanghou's face was full of red light, and he said a little shortcoming, "Occasionally, there are sparks made by flint without gunpowder, but after the craftsman's modification, he only needs to hit continuously, no more than three times, and he will definitely be able to shoot lead" He originally wanted to improve more perfectly, but this sudden change disrupted his rhythm

"Good gun" Zhai Zhe praised.

"Good gun" Liu clapped his hands with the wind and said: "It turns out that Hu Dong's self-fire gun is already so perfect"
