Chapter 51: Good News for the Ryukyus
Luoyang is in chaos.
Although in the end, He's Bi was broken into pieces and did not cause further chaos, the feud formed during the previous battle will not be erased.
Especially Wang Shichong, a total of three sons died two, almost made him crazy, if it wasn't for the monks of Jingnian Monastery to calm him down, he would have let his army drive into the city to arrest people.
Almost no one noticed, but the initiator of this incident got out early.
He even lived in the gold kiln of Manqingyuan, and while others were fighting for life and death, he discussed art with Shang Xiufang, the world's first prostitute who could not leave Luoyang because of the chaos.
Don't get me wrong, it's real art. Chen Jing doesn't have so many romantic thoughts. If Shang Xiufang can be invited to perform in Jingling, it will definitely be an encouragement to his soldiers. It would be even better if Shang Xiufang could perform an art that is in line with the military.
But it's a pity that Shang Xiufang has no interest in getting involved in the world hegemony. She politely declined Chen Jing's invitation. However, she was somewhat interested in the military art proposed by Chen Jing, and promised to study it to see if she could bring forth the new. Although Qin Feng is good, it was a thousand years ago. If the contemporary people cannot create art that belongs to the contemporary people, but have to pick up the leftovers of the ancestors thousands of years ago, it will inevitably be a little worse.
Chen Jing lived a very quiet life in Manqingyuan. There is no one in Luoyang who has time to trouble him now. The Buddhism sect, which is most dissatisfied with him, is busy eliminating the anger of the major forces, such as the concubine, asking to see several forces every day, taking turns to persuade him, but he has no time to come to Chen Jing.
Of course, in this chaotic world of racing against time, it is impossible for the helmsman of a big force to be idle all the time.
On the morning of the seventh day in Manqingyuan, Chen Jing saw a young man dressed as a small maid.
"You're from the Dongming faction?" Chen Jing asked with interest. He hadn't seen this young man, but he didn't look like the nail that the Dongming faction had once ambushed in the Central Plains, and he must have been promoted recently.
"So, Lu Miaozi, have they made progress in their research?" Of course, Chen Jing didn't care much about the identity of the teenager, he cared more about the news brought by the teenager.
"Yes, my lord. Lord Lu and Lord Mao have already shipped the first batch of products to Jingling, just waiting for the lord to review them. The boy said.
"How many products are there?" Chen Jing asked again.
"This subordinate doesn't know. Lord Lu came in person, and the lord could ask him in Jingling. The boy said.
"Good." Chen Jing nodded.
If the young man who reported the news also knew what equipment had come, he would have to give Lu Miaozi and them a confidential lesson.
Chen Jing immediately said goodbye to Shang Xiufang and left the whirlpool of Luoyang.
When I came back again, everything would be different. Looking at the towering city walls of Luoyang, Chen Jing made an oath.
……
Jingling, Chen Jing, Lu Miaozi, Shang Xiuxun, Shan Meixian, Feng Ge and other officials watched the demonstration of the new weapon.
"According to the lord's idea, we named this weapon Lu's rifle type, in fact, the old man originally wanted to name it the five thunder god machine, but the lord said that this name is used today, and a better weapon will be developed tomorrow, is it to be called the five thunder god king machine, and then come out with a better weapon, is it called the five thunder god emperor machine, the five thunder god emperor machine, and the five thunder god emperor machine...... It's better to name it after the old man, and the guns used by the infantry are called rifles. Lu Miaozi said as he learned from Chen Jing's expression when he once talked to him about this, which made everyone laugh.
Young people like Shang Xiuxun and Shan Wanjing even looked at Chen Jing with a strange gaze, which made him slightly embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, Master Lu, let's take a look at the power of this weapon first." Chen Jing couldn't help but interrupt Lu Miaozi.
"Haha, since the lord asked for it." Lu Miaozi said with a smile.
He held up a long stick that looked strange in the eyes of everyone.
"This weapon is similar to a bow and arrow, and it is used to kill and wound the enemy with the object it shoots. However, unlike the bow and arrow, this weapon shoots something like this slightly pointed projectile. Lu Miao said, and took out a small metal warhead.
For these things that Lu Miaozi said, except for Chen Jing, no one else understood very well.
For example, the veteran Feng Ge asked:
"Dare to ask Master Lu, this kind of little thing is not sharp at all, even if you put it in your hand and hold it, you can't scratch people's skin, how can you kill people?"
When Lu Miaozi heard this, he smiled quite smugly:
"General Feng, it's up to me to have this thing in my hand."
"This ...... Rifle? Feng Ge's expression was strange.
"That's it. For several months, the old man, Brother Mao and the magical craftsmen under the master's hand forgot to sleep and eat, and finally studied this treasure. This small warhead can be loaded from the back of this tube, and then put in the improved flying fire from here, oh, the lord calls it gunpowder, but there is some alchemist meaning, after putting in this gunpowder, ignite this lead, and you can shoot this small warhead. Don't underestimate this little thing, its power is comparable to the hidden weapon that the old man can play with all his strength within ten steps. But this little thing can kill the enemy with precision from a hundred paces away. Lu Miaozi said.
"So powerful?!" Feng Ge exclaimed.
He wasn't the only one who was amazed. How high Lu Miaozi's martial arts are, the people present couldn't be clearer, such a small thing can compare to the secret weapon he played with all his strength, it is really terrifying.
For a while, Feng Ge, Shan Meixian and the others all gathered around and were amazed at this weapon.
Compared with them, who had never seen such a thing, Chen Jing had a calmer understanding of Lu Miaozi's weapon. Lu Miaozi didn't know how to use hidden weapons, or because of the flood of true qi to protect the body, Huang Yi World didn't use hidden weapons at all. Compared to Lu Miaozi's secret weapon methods, this kind of comment can only be regarded as the truth discounted by the salesman.
In his hometown, guns in a thousand years cannot dominate the battlefield, even if the Tang Shuanglong is an ancient black technology world, even if he brings some future technology, how this gun is still depends on the data.
"Master Lu, what is the armor-piercing ability of this gun, and what about the true qi of the innate master's body protection?" Chen Jing asked.
Lu Miaozi hesitated.
"On the front, it still can't penetrate the armor of the lord's black ice guards. But my lord, the armor on your pile of black ice guards is too expensive, and the old man dares to guarantee that no one in the world will make this kind of armor except you. If it is an ordinary heavy armor, even if it is a horse equipment that was rampant in the world back then, it will not be able to block a shot. As for the innate master's body protection true qi...... Frankly speaking, my lord, this weapon can indeed penetrate the innate master's body protection true qi, but it is only penetrated, and after passing through the body protection true qi, it can only leave a mark on the skin. ”
"Really? So this weapon can only play a role in the battle array, and cannot dominate the rivers and lakes? Chen Jing said.
"Don't get me wrong, Master Lu, I'm not disappointed, it's already good to be able to play a role in the battle formation, but as a commander, I still hope to solve the disputes in the world more easily." Chen Jing found that his tone was a little heavy, and hurriedly added.
"Rest assured, my lord, stronger weapons are being developed. It's just that this weapon alone must use iron, and stronger weapons are probably not enough for ordinary iron. Brother Mao is busy making better iron with the craftsmen. ”
