"Liu Sheng, is this thing really as amazing as your third brother said?" In King Yan's mansion, Zhu Di played with the flintlock pistol in his hand, which was only about a foot long, and there was a relatively tight switch on it, which really looked like a toy.
"Your Highness, this thing is indeed powerful, it is not the same as the fire gun. It doesn't use a lead at all, it doesn't use a fire rope, it uses just a piece of flint. So even if the weather is wet, it can be activated normally. And it's short and sturdy, making it perfect for self-defense. If the length of the iron pipe is properly extended, the power will increase, and it will be several times more advanced than that of the firecracker. If those twenty or so people were equipped with this weapon, the firepower would almost be as strong as fifty teams armed with firearms. ”
Liu Sheng explained to Zhu Di excitedly, and stepped forward to point out to Zhu Di what the various parts of the flintlock pistol do.
"I didn't expect that Hu Ye still had such skills, and such exquisite things were designed for him. If he had known that he was an expert in firearms, his subordinates would have consulted him a long time ago. "It's almost time to tell Zhu Di, Liu Sheng sighed and said.
In the past, he thought that Hu Ye would be a little smart, so he didn't have much contact with Hu Ye. But when his third brother sent back the flintlock pistol and drawings, Liu Sheng regretted that he hadn't dealt with Hu Ye much before. But now Hu Ye has left Tongxian and gone to Nanjing, and wants to talk to Hu Ye about firearms. I have to wait for Hu Ye to come back from Nanjing.
"What happened to him, no matter how bizarre it was, I would consider it normal. With such a mysterious master, even a pig can design such a thing. That stinky boy, who didn't contribute before, waited for himself to be in danger, but equipped himself first, and waited for him to come back and see how I cleaned him up. "Zhu Di probably has some understanding of the flintlock pistol, and also understands its strengths. But he sneered at Hu Ye in his mouth. also threatened to clean up Hu Ye.
"But this kid is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after a day of stopping in Tong County, he unearthed such a huge criminal system. The master, the master, the head catcher, the bully, the soldier, I didn't expect these people to collude together. Take advantage of the year of the catastrophe. But it hurts the heavens and harms the wealth. Zhu Di likes to be promoted and suppressed like this. Although Hu Ye was not present, he still enjoyed it.
"Liu Qiang did a good job this time, and he was meritorious in offering a flintlock pistol. Cracking down on crime in Tong County can be regarded as a great achievement. When he comes back, let him be a hundred households. Zhu Di said slowly.
"My subordinates thanked His Highness for the third brother." Liu Sheng hurriedly thanked him.
"Also, you immediately send someone to bring that Master Wang to Beiping, and make this gun for me day and night." Zhu Di gave an order, "Also, in the future, you don't care about the affairs of the Soldiers and Horses, concentrate on giving me cāo to train this firearms team, I want to let them grow up quickly, we don't have much time." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey." Liu Sheng hurriedly said yes, and then withdrew from the inner hall.
"Okay, you stinky boy, don't take it out sooner if you have such a baby, see how I clean you up next time." Zhu Di played with the flintlock pistol in his hand, and kept muttering in his mouth.
At the same time, a hundred miles south of Tongzhou. Hu Ye was riding on Hongchen's back, holding a flintlock pistol in his hand, playing excitedly, with some small excitement. After all, in the twenty-first century, it is possible to own a firearm.
"Ahh
Hu Ye suddenly sneezed, still cursing in his heart, who was thinking about himself again.
"Young master, this is what you call a flintlock pistol, a very powerful thing?"
Lao Qian drove the carriage, watched Hu Ye riding on horseback and playing with the flintlock pistol, and asked curiously.
"Yes, this is it." Hu Ye is in a good mood today, although he is remembered by some people, but is there less time he is remembered?
"I don't see what he's used for, there's no fire captain yet. Even if the gun is out of gunpowder, it can be used as a weapon. What can you do with this thing so short. Lao Qian said disdainfully.
"Hehe, what's the use of this thing, you'll find out soon."
Hu Ye smiled mysteriously, it has been a long time since he left Tong County, and he is probably dozens of kilometers away. Then there is a long stretch of wilderness, which is the most suitable place for killing people and goods.
His head is worth 300,000 taels of silver, but if he ties himself, he will get 500,000 taels. Hu Ye didn't believe that those people in the rivers and lakes would miss such a good opportunity, and his flintlock pistol would naturally come in handy at that time.
In this era when firearms are still rare weapons, it is estimated that those people in the rivers and lakes are still like old money, thinking that the flintlock pistol in their hands is a toy, who will take it to heart. Therefore, Hu Ye firmly believes that the flintlock pistol will definitely teach them a heavy lesson.
"Master, borrow that toy for me to play with."
Just when Hu Ye was proud, Saren poked his head out of the carriage and said excitedly.
Hu Ye's face darkened, what did he just say, this is not a toy! Why did Saren also start to dismantle his own stage?
"Let me tell you, this is not a toy, it is used for self-defense, and it is not fun, if you don't get it right, it will kill you!" Hu Ye must educate his own people, it's okay if outsiders don't understand, but his own people must understand. Otherwise, when this thing becomes popular in the future, it will definitely suffer.
"Young master, I think it looks like a toy, and the workmanship is relatively fine, maybe it can be sold for a good price."
In order to cooperate with Saren, Tsing Yi also poked his head out at this time and echoed Saren.
Tsing Yi has now come out of the shadow of being kidnapped, and he is more familiar with Hu Ye, and he is as open as Saren, and his speech is naturally as big or small as Saren.
"You guys! You ......" Hu Ye was so angry that he almost rolled off Hongchen's back, and finally grabbed the reins.
"Listen to me, this thing is called a flintlock pistol, and it's a thing that kills people. None of you are allowed to say it's a toy anymore, or I'm going to use it for lessons!" Hu Ye said very strictly.
But when Hu Ye saw the smiles on the faces of Saren and Tsing Yi. I know that they don't take their words seriously at all. There was also a look of disdain on Lao Qian's face, and he didn't know how many times he had laughed at himself.
Maybe God helped Hu Ye, just when he wanted to give Lao Qian to prove the power of the flintlock pistol, a stone suddenly appeared in front of the road, and it was obvious that the other party was prepared.
"Brothers on the road, why don't you show up and see it."
Hu Ye learned to make the underworld incision in the movie, and shouted twice towards the mountains on both sides of the road, but there was no reaction at all. Hu Ye knew that he didn't say anything about this incision, and he regretted that he didn't watch more ancient movies back then.
Old Qian glanced at Hu Ye with disdain, and then jumped out of the carriage. Go straight to the stone that stands in your way. And he kicked the stone away with both feet.
"Young master, what kind of underworld incision to talk to these little thieves. You see that the roadblocks they put up are not professional, just kick them away. Just tell them that we are not easy to bully. Want benefits. He showed up and took his life. Master, you're still a little tender. "After kicking the stones. Old Qian said earnestly to Hu Ye.
Hu Ye is very embarrassed now, he was actually despised by his bodyguard, and he didn't know what to say.
Really. As Lao Qian expected, Lao Qian had just returned to the carriage, and more than a dozen people appeared on the road. A bearded man rode on a horse, followed by a dozen or so younger brothers, all in the middle of the road.
"Who is the scoop handle, why are you stopping me from going?" Old Qian shouted at the man on horseback.
Hu Ye looked at it, and the person was only more than fifty steps away from him, which was not far, and it happened to be the best shooting distance for a flintlock pistol. It's just that this old money is too hard, so close, where can I use such a loud voice.
"Hahaha, Tiger Wolf Mountain Rolling Tiger is also." The big man on horseback also replied loudly.
"Tiger Wolf Mountain? Haven't heard of it. My young master has no grudges with you in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, why did you do this thing today? Lao Qian still spoke loudly, as if he had the confidence to compare himself with that scoop again.
"You have no enmity with me, but you have enmity with money." The big man said with a smile.
Speaking of this, Hu Ye knew what kind of rolling tiger this was, he must have come for the bounty. However, he was very curious about who issued this bounty order and demanded such a high price for his own head.
"Oh, looks like the scoop is here for the bounty?" Hu Yece immediately stepped forward, and also learned from Lao Qian and yelled at the top of his voice.
"Haha, Hu Ye Gongzi is really an understanding person." The big man laughed, and then said, "I heard that many brothers entered Beiping City and wanted to take the head of Gongzi, but they never came back, so they must have died at the hands of Gongzi." ”
"No, they did not die at my hand, for I do not like to kill. But they died because of me, and I recited the scriptures for them in the evening. Hu Ye learned Zhang Fu's compassion, he looked very good, and the old money next to him laughed out loud when he heard it.
"Childe is really bold, and he can still talk and laugh to this day. Originally, I didn't want to embarrass Childe, as long as Childe left a few thousand taels of tolls, I would ask my subordinates to clear the roadblocks. However, your bodyguard did it without permission, which is the biggest provocation to my rolling tiger, and if Childe wants to cross my realm safely today, it will be difficult. The rolling tiger sighed, and then waved his hand, and the little brother behind him was ready to step forward and surround Hu Ye and his party.
"I wonder if the scoop wants my head, or if he wants to tie me up?" Looking at the group of thieves who were eager to try, Hu Ye asked slowly.
"Of course, it's best to be able to capture it alive, and even if you can't, your head is worth a lot." Rolling Tiger said coldly.
"Hey, thief, Lao Tzu called you a scoop to look up to you, but I didn't expect you to still have the idea of my young master. If you don't smash your head today, I won't call you a nameless old money! Old Qian couldn't get used to the arrogant appearance of the rolling tiger, so he roared loudly, and drew a horizontal knife from the carriage and blew the blade in the sun.
"A puppet dares to shout in front of the uncle, I can't clean up a few of you today, how can I mix in Tiger Wolf Mountain in the future." The rolling tiger was also mad by Lao Qian's words, where can he still take care of the etiquette of the underworld, waved his hand at his subordinates, and suddenly more than a dozen subordinates all rushed up.
"Young Master, stand back and watch me send this group of little thieves to the Western Heavens. Maybe you can still have a companion with Tang Seng and them. Lao Qian pushed Hongchen back, and then said to Hu Ye.
Hu Ye didn't expect Lao Qian to learn humor, in this case, he still remembered the story of Journey to the West, and he did learn a lot from himself.
"Young master, Uncle Qian is fine." Saren lifted the curtain, watched Lao Qian rush towards the dozen or so people, and asked Hu Ye with some concern.
"Saren, don't worry, Uncle Qian is very powerful. The day before yesterday, he went to Zheng's mansion to save me, and he was the one who solved more than a dozen evil slaves. Tsing Yi also leaned out and comforted Saren. She has absolute confidence in old money.
"Be of good cheer. Old money will be fine, and these little thieves are not his opponents. I asked him to do it, but I just wanted him to move his shins, otherwise these little thieves. Young Master Ben easily solved it. Hu Ye played with the flintlock pistol. Said very proudly.
"Cut."
Saren and Tsing Yi said disdainfully at the same time. Then he watched intently the fight between Lao Qian and the group of thieves.
Hu Ye felt that he was becoming less and less self-conscious, and even Tsing Yi, who had always been a good girl, was now unscrupulous towards herself. Where is there still a bit of what a servant girl should be.
"I must let them know how powerful Young Master Ben is later." Hu Ye made up his mind and took out a bullet from the small bag on his waist.
The bullets at this time were different from those of the 21st century, with a layer of oilskin paper wrapped in gunpowder and an iron ball inside. This is still a self-made bullet made by Hu Ye when he was resting in Tongxian, although it is a little rougher, but in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, it is a completely new thing.
Saren squinted at Hu Ye and found that Hu Ye put the sugar pill-like thing to his mouth and took a bite, thinking it was something delicious. Originally, I wanted to ask Hu Ye for one, but Lao Qian had already exchanged fire with those thieves at the moment, so Saren looked at it intently.
Lao Qian thinks that these thieves have not been beaten by the evil slaves of Zheng Mansion, and they are all as thin as firewood, which is like those evil slaves who eat and drink well all day long, they are really with the wrong person, and they are destined to suffer for the rest of their lives. How is it like himself, he met an old fairy in his early years, and he predicted that he would meet a nobleman, how good his life is now, he eats and drinks all day long, and his future is even more promising.
So at the moment of fighting, Lao Qian suddenly softened his heart and turned the knife edge into the back of the knife. Originally, a human head would fall to the ground with the first knife, but the thief was just beaten on the head and bled out, and fell to the ground groaning.
Then the second, and then the third.
Lao Qian simply swung three knives, and three thieves lost their combat effectiveness.
So the remaining thieves didn't dare to act rashly, and they all took a step back and looked at the old money vigilantly.
"I said, you have to follow, and you have to follow a reliable boss. Look at your scoops, you have a fat brain, but you are as thin as a monkey. Even if you arrested my young master today and received a bounty of 500,000 yuan, how much did it end up in your hands? ”
"As you know, this year is a year of great calamity, and it is not easy for everyone. Even the cheapest Chinese cabbage in previous years now costs 5 wen a catty, and the rice has risen to 20 wen a catty. I think the silver that was finally distributed to you is not enough to buy a hundred catties of rice, and it is not worth working hard for this money. Old Qian put the horizontal knife on his shoulder and said with a sigh.
"I ...... I...... We are also forced to follow the boss to share some porridge to drink, if we leave him, we will all starve to death. The big knife in the hand of a thief trembled, and said incoherently.
"If I were you, I'd either change the boss. Or rush to Beiping, I heard that His Royal Highness King Yan gives porridge to refugees every day, and there will be cakes to eat the next day. During the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone also got a zongzi. I look at your life, even the refugees outside Beiping can't catch up, and I feel worthless for you. Old Qian was like an uncle next door, and said earnestly to a dozen thieves.
"Really, there is such treatment as a refugee?" The thief's eyes flashed when he spoke just now, and as soon as he heard that there were zongzi to eat, he was immediately excited.
You must know that during the Dragon Boat Festival this year, their group of thieves only drank a bowl of gruel, and there were two wild fruits.
"Nonsense, what did Lao Tzu lie to you, otherwise there would be so many refugees outside Beiping? It's not all for the favor of His Royal Highness King Yan. Old Qian patted his chest and said.
"Even so, this bandit is not in the right place." The thief threw away the big knife in his hand, and then said to the thieves behind him, "Brothers, follow me to Beiping as a refugee." ”
When the thieves heard this, they immediately threw away the weapons in their hands. Just kidding, when the refugees all have zongzi to eat, who is still here to work for the rolling tigers. So they ran in the direction where Hu Ye came.
Hu Ye felt that he had seen a miracle in history, and there was a group of people who liked to be refugees like this.
Lao Qian looked down at the three thieves lying on the ground moaning in pain, sighed, and then threw them dozens of copper coins, "Take these money to grab some medicine, it's not good to do something, you have to be a thief." It's just a dry bandit, and with such a boss who picks the door, you really have been moldy for eight lifetimes. ”
The three injured thieves trembled and picked up the copper coin, kowtowed two heads to the old money, and then supported each other and walked in the direction of Beiping City.
Hu Ye was very happy for the kindness of the old money table, this is his bodyguard, he can't always fight and kill.
Hu Ye and Lao Qian were happy, but Rolling Tiger was unhappy, and he finally gathered a group of rabble, so he was disbanded by Lao Qian in a few words, and he would find someone to sell his life to him in the future.
"You thief, you dare to instigate my subordinates and eat me with a hammer!" Annoyed and ashamed, the Rolling Tiger rode up on his horse, brandished the sledgehammer in his hand, and smashed it towards the old money.
Lao Qian estimated that he touched it, and the hammer was a hundred or ten pounds, and it would definitely not end well if he was hit by it. However, the heavier the thing, the more inflexible it is to use, and Lao Qian fully grasped the weakness of the rolling tiger's bulkiness, and played a game of attack and flash with Lao Qian on the ground.
The more the Tiger plays, the more annoyed he becomes, but the more he plays, the more fun Lao Qian becomes, hoping that the Tiger will be exhausted.
But the Rolling Tiger can be the scoop of a mountain, so naturally he still has some courage, knowing that it is not a way to go on like this.
So after attacking Lao Qian again, he didn't stop, but slammed the horse's buttocks. The horse was in pain, so he had to speed up violently and rushed straight towards Hu Ye.
Old Qian was shocked, he was addicted to playing with the rolling tiger just now, and he actually let this rolling tiger take advantage of the loophole, and hurriedly turned around to save him, but he couldn't let the young master have an accident, that was his nobleman.
But people can't outrun horses, let alone crazy horses.
Just when Lao Qian was secretly screaming, an arrow suddenly flew out of the bushes on the side of the road and shot straight towards the rolling tiger.
Seeing this, Lao Qian calmed down and knew that it must have been sent by King Yan to protect the young master.
But just before the arrow hit the rolling tiger, there was a sudden loud bang in the air, (to be continued......)
