The day after the revolver was purchased, in a forest on the outskirts of the Public Concession, Deng Zixuan led a group of heroes here. Deng Zixuan handed out the revolver he brought to everyone: "Today we are here to familiarize ourselves with firearms and practice shooting. Before I start shooting, I'm afraid you'll suffer a lot from foreign guns. Don't underestimate this small bullet, a single bullet will kill, no matter how strong your martial arts are, you can't resist and dodge the penetrating power of the bullet! ”

Leng Yifei, the fast knife hand, agreed: "Deng Gongzi, my flying knife is fast enough, but compared to bullets, this thing is really evil." Deng Zixuan smiled and said: "In fact, our ancestors invented firearms during the Song Dynasty, and because we invented gunpowder, we have the conditions to manufacture firearms." Firearms were widely used in the Ming Dynasty, but due to the limitations of historical conditions at that time, firearms still could not surpass cold weapons, which were swords in your hands. ”

Seeing that everyone was stunned and engrossed, Deng Zixuan continued: "In the early years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the firearms we developed did not belong to foreigners at all, but the Manchu Emperor was afraid of firearms, and then stifled the development of firearms. Although the Manchus retained the study of artillery, progress was very slow. The Manchu court has always attached great importance to the iron cavalry, but the so-called heroic iron cavalry of the imperial court was defeated in front of the guns of the foreigners. The capture of Beijing by the British and French forces 10 years ago is the best example. ”

The big man Zhang Mancang echoed: "Deng Gongzi is right, last year we were chased and killed by the Huai Army's foreign gun team, and one of my good brothers was hit in the head by a bullet and died, when the bullet was fired from 200 meters away, and since then I have been stunned when I see the foreign gun team." "No wonder your kid was scared when he saw the foreign spear team running faster than the rabbit!" The ghost was clever and ridiculed, and everyone laughed.

Bai Sheng rolled up his sleeves and said: "Deng Gongzi, look, this is what the Huai Army's foreign gun team beats, if I hadn't run fast, I would have died a long time ago." Then everyone talked about their escape.

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "There is no shame in running fast, only by avoiding the enemy's shooting and protecting yourself can we fight more efficiently, how we use firearms to fight in the future, I will tell you slowly, now I will demonstrate, you see carefully!" Deng Zixuan disassembled the revolver last night and studied it carefully, and then he slowly disassembled the revolver, and a bunch of parts appeared on the ground.

Deng Zixuan took the parts and explained them one by one, and then assembled them again. "Now start disassembling the guns in your hands and watch me move!" It was a little clumsy at first, but after all, they were martial arts masters with a high level of understanding, and after a while, the brothers were able to disassemble and assemble freely. “haha！ I thought it was so difficult, but it was just that!" The youngest Wang Xiaoer said proudly. Deng Zixuan smiled and walked to a tree in front of him, then took out a dozen pieces of paper from his arms and took out a piece of paper and hung it on the tree.

He turned around and walked 20 steps backwards and stopped: "The paper hanging on the tree in front of you is the target, and you can see that the big trap and the small circle are to test the accuracy of shooting, and hitting the small circle in the middle shows that your shooting skills are superb." Ladies and gentlemen, I am also shooting for the first time, and I can't talk about archery at all, but I know how to shoot and that's it. After speaking, Deng Zixuan aimed at the target and fired.

After a crisp gunshot, the ghost clever Wan Chuan ran forward to check and said, "Deng Gongzi, there is no fighting!" Deng Zixuan knew that he was not this material: "Shooting is also talented, but it must be trained hard." It's like you practice martial arts, it's not a day's work. Okay, everybody, follow my moves and shoot a shot. After a round of gunshots, the best one for the fast knife hand Leng Yifei was 8 rings, Chen Jintang followed with 5 rings, and the cold-faced killer Bai Sheng played 4 rings. The others, except for Pei Gejin, shot at the target. Deng Zixuan knows that the stability of shooting is the most important factor, and there is no doubt that these people have a talent for shooting.

Pei Gejin belongs to playing with brainpower, and it seems that he belongs to the same goods as himself. "Today, each person fired five bullets, and every bullet fired had to be pondered to find the shortcomings." After the 5 bullets were finished, it would be said that Deng Zixuan was the most faceless, all five bullets were empty, but Pei Gejin had a bullet hit the target. Zuo Yifei continued to lead, and he hit the bullseye with a bullet. Although Chen Jintang did not hit the bull's-eye, his performance was very stable, with 5 bullets hovering between 5 and 9 rings, while Bai Sheng's best score also hit 8 rings, and Wang Xiaoer, who played the worst, also hit 3 rings with one bullet.

After the shooting, Deng Zixuan didn't have a depressed expression at all, because his mind was not on the shooting at all. Seeing that everyone was very happy, he said: "That's all for today's shooting, continue to familiarize yourself with firearms when you go back, and continue to practice shooting tomorrow." It is required to shoot 5 rounds of ammunition tomorrow and end the training with 50 rounds of ammunition in 10 days. After Deng Zixuan finished speaking, he took the lead and went home.

Early the next morning, Deng Zixuan came to the ear room and said, "Brother Chen, today you lead the brothers to continue training, and Brother Pei stays to do something!" Chen Jintang didn't say a word, and led the others to set off. Deng Gongzi! What do I need to do? "Today is December 10th, you go and buy 9 tickets to Guangzhou on the 15th, we are going to Guangzhou to do a big thing. I'll tell you exactly what I'm doing when I get to Guangzhou! ”

Sending Pei Gejin away, Deng Zixuan began to formulate a review jihua for the children, and he planned that this trip to Guangzhou would take at least half a year, so he had to leave homework for the children. Pei Gejin bought the ticket back on the same day, and now the cargo ship from Shanghai to Guangzhou is very convenient, especially the British cargo and passenger ships depart almost every day, and the trade of the British Empire is in full swing in the Qing Dynasty.

"Go to Guangzhou, what are you doing in Guangzhou?" The mother was taken aback. "Mom! Can't agree to Zixuan's request. Guangzhou is so far away, in case of an accident, how can you get it? Besides, you've never been far away, I can't rest assured! "Zide vetoed it at the first time." Mom! Brother, I went to Guangzhou to apprentice, and I came back in three months or half a year. I made a vow this time that I must gain fame and fame, and I am worthy of my father's spirit in the sky, and my mother's expectations and my brother's love. If you want to win fame, you must work hard and work hard to improve yourself. ”

Deng Zixuan is eloquent and impeccable. The elder brother stammered and didn't know how to answer, but the mother said, "But I'm worried about ・・・・・・." "Mom, don't worry, a few heroes will accompany me, and they promise to protect me!" Deng Zixuan increased the weight. Mother sighed and said, "Xuan'er has this ambition, and your father's spirit in the sky will also be pleased." It's okay for Xuan'er to go out and break through when she grows up, go early and return early, just pay more attention to yourself! "My mother was naturally relieved when she heard that those people from the rivers and lakes were accompanied.

After his mother left, Zide still had palpitations and said: "When you go out, you have to have a few more eyes, and you must make your own decisions about everything." I observe that those heroes are good, and there will be less trouble with them, Zixuan, you must be yourself. As the saying goes, the poor are rich, and I will prepare you to entangle! Deng Zixuan was a little moved and said: "Brother, no need, the silver taels given to me by the Gao family are enough!" Zide was a little confused. How much did the Gao family give him?

A steamer of more than 500 tons, with thick smoke pipes, slowly sailed away from the dock. The British captain shouted, and several sailors were busy. The crew is complex, with Europeans, Americans, South Americans, and Asian-faces. Deng Zixuan looked at the busy figure of the sailor thoughtfully, and it seemed that in the future, offshore transportation must have its own fleet.

Not long after the boat left the dock and sailed, Deng Zixuan saw Chen Jintang's fists clenched, and the muscles in his face jumped slightly. Because he saw the British captain beating a sailor with a black face and braids, apparently a native of the Qing Dynasty. Chen Jintang could not accept this kind of ravages of relying on the strong and bullying the weak. Looking at the others, their faces were also filled with righteous indignation. The English captain beat the sailors and cursed loudly about the big clear dog, stupid pig and so on. If Brother Chen and the others could understand what was being said, I am afraid they would not be able to control their emotions at all.

This is not a good phenomenon, this group of men is jealous and hateful, and they themselves have no good impression of foreigners, and it is not good in case they are impulsive. "You guys come here!" Deng Zixuan immediately shouted. "Damn, foreigners are too arrogant, don't you want us to teach him a lesson!" The big guy is full of warehouses and eager to try. "The big guy doesn't need you to make a move, I can go forward and beat the foreign devils all over the ground to find teeth!" The long-legged Wu Bao stepped forward. "Messing around, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and you must not be impulsive. Have you forgotten what I told you? Deng Zixuan frowned.

Pei Gejin said: "What Deng Gongzi said is that we have all lost our minds a little just now, and Gongzi has such determination at a young age, which is the gospel of everyone." Chen Jintang apologized and said: "Childe, for my brother's mistake, please teach Childe!" Deng Zixuan said gently: "Brother Chen, you are your role model, no matter what situation you encounter, you must think twice." Since you consider me Lord, you must obey my commands! The crowd bowed.

After the brothers dispersed, Deng Zixuan said to Chen Jintang and Pei Gejin; "Two benevolent brothers, those who achieve great things cannot stick to small things. This will happen again and again in the future, so we must be calm. Remember, one day, I will make foreigners bow down before us. "Childe! Don't worry, I'll keep your words in mind. "Childe! Pei claims to be thoughtful, and he is far worse than Deng Gongzi, so he is ashamed! ”

As dusk approached, the freighter roared along the coastline all the way south. After dinner, it was getting dark, and the other brothers were probably not used to going to bed early in the sea. Deng Zixuan was also traveling at sea for the first time, but he didn't feel uncomfortable. Probably because of the excitement, he was re-onto the deck. Because the tonnage of this offshore passenger and cargo ship is too small, it carries only more than 30 passengers. Frankly speaking, the ferry tickets are very expensive, and the average poor people cannot afford to sit on them. Presumably, the ships were all people with status, so the British captain was more lenient with the guests and did not restrict the free movement of the guests.

Holding on to the railing, looking at the dark sea and the impact of the waves echoing in his ears, Deng Zixuan was a little trendy. It is completely unknown whether the trip to Guangzhou will be fruitful, but he must give it a go. Sailing now heralds the official beginning of the grand plan. "Childe! Are you thinking about something? Deng Zixuan turned his head to look at Chen Jintang, "Big brother, you didn't sleep?" "I'm not worried when I see you coming out!" In the dark, Deng Zixuan could feel the love and friendship from the other party. At this time, the superfluous words were a little pale, so he reached out and touched the other party to express his gratitude.

"Deng Gongzi, eldest brother has a sentence I don't know if I should say it?" "You and I are brothers, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" "I have a feeling you don't trust us?" "What do you say?" "What is the purpose of the trip to Guangzhou? The so-called visit to a famous teacher is an excuse. You and my brother are all the same, is it necessary to hide it? Chen Jintang was frank and honest. Deng Zixuan groaned and said, "Big brother! The stakes are high, so I have to be very small. Since my brother asked me, I won't hide it from you. Anyway, ・・・・・・. ”

"Childe! Are you sure? In the dark, Chen Jintang was slightly excited. Frankly, I'm not sure, but I have to take a gamble. As for not telling you in time, one is that I am afraid of leaking the news, and the other is that I have no bottom in my heart, and we can only be sure after we arrive in Guangzhou. As soon as Deng Zixuan's words fell, a conversation came from the side rope, and the two of them turned their heads together......
