Shangguan Xiu asked, "Qingyuan, are you ...... Can you lend me the musket you mentioned?"
Qingyuan didn't dare to make his own decision, he turned his head to look at Shangguan Hongdu, who yawned and said happily: "When people get older, they are easy to get sleepy, I'll go take a nap first, Qingshan Qingyuan, you and Ah Xiu are the same age, both are young people, at noon, you can entertain Ah Xiu on my behalf! But you also have to remember that Ah Xiu is a close relative of the same clan, and you must not neglect others." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
With Shangguan Hong here, everyone was a little restrained, and now that he heard that he was going to take a nap, Qingyuan was the first to clap his hands in agreement, and said with a smile: "Father, you go to rest, and I will take Ah Xiu and Ah Xiu around the city in the afternoon." ”
"Hmm. Shangguan Hongdu nodded, and said to Shangguan Xiu: "Ah Xiu, don't see each other either, although Qingshan Qingyuan Qingyan Qingfang is older than you in terms of seniority, but they are all of the same age, you can get along like brothers and sisters." ”
"Uncle Tai, I understand. ”
"Okay!" Shangguan Hongdu smiled at Shangguan Xiu again, and then walked upstairs.
Seeing Shangguan Hongdu go upstairs, Qingyuan turned back to Shangguan Xiu and said, "Ah Xiu, let's go out for a walk too." As he spoke, he excitedly pulled Shangguan Xiu and walked out quickly.
Qingshan and the others followed behind and also walked out. When he got outside, Qingyuan said, "Ah Xiu, I'll take you to the shooting range." ”
Shangguan Xiu was stunned, nodded and smiled, and said, "Qingyuan, thank you." "Please enter the URL in lowercase: Watch the latest and fastest chapters
"Hey, you're welcome, we're all brothers of the same clan. ”
As they were walking out, Andrew hurried out of the house, and when he reached the door, he called two servants and whispered an explanation in their ears. The two servants nodded as they listened, and then ran towards the stable.
Qingshan looked at it, smiled indifferently, and said, "Father, I'm going to have a meeting with those old people again." ”
Shangguan Xiu looked at him puzzled and asked, "Brother Qingshan, ......what are the old people you are talking about?"
"Ministers. ”
Aren't all the ministers of Tia in Tia City? Qingshan shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to introduce Tia's technology to the Wind Country, how can your father decide such a big matter alone, and my father also needs to consult with the ministers." ”
Shangguan Xiu asked puzzledly, "Wendurt still has Tia's minister?"
Qingyuan said with a smile: "Wendurt, in the outside world, it is a small place that no one knows about and does not matter, but in Tia, this is the second imperial court, and many of Tia's major decisions are formulated in Wendurt, and then transmitted to Tia City and announced to the public. ”
To put it bluntly, Wendurt was Tia's second capital for herself. Because the country is weak and surrounded by powerful empires, Tia, who lives in the cracks, has a particularly strong sense of crisis, and is ready to invade the capital at any time with strong enemies, and Wendurt was built in this way.
As far as the city defenses were concerned, Wendurt was in no way less complete than the city of Tia, and even stronger, and more advanced city defense equipment and strategic reserves were built, and the families of many important ministers of Tia were placed in Wendurt, and the king of Tia also had a palace here.
Shangguan Xiu sighed, and said quietly: "I don't know, the ministers of Tia will allow me to introduce Tia's technology to Zhenjun." ”
Qingyuan shrugged, he was not sure about this matter. Qingshan smiled indifferently, patted Guan Xiu's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "I don't know what the final result of the old people's deliberations will be, but one thing I can be sure of is that Tia doesn't want the Wind Country to die. The three empires around Tia can continue to fight each other and consume each other, which is what Tia is most willing to see. Retreating to the second best of the worst is for the Wind Country to continue to be the suzerainty of Tia and maintain the status quo. ”
Hearing Qingshan's words, Shangguan Xiu blinked, laughed, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Qingshan, for solving your doubts." ”
"Hehe!" Qingshan chuckled, followed the example of Shangguan Xiu, and also arched his hand, and said, "Ah Xiu is polite." ”
Qingyuan asked the servants to prepare a few carriages, and they traveled in them.
The group made a carriage and walked out of Wendurt to the shooting range on the northern outskirts. Here, Shangguan Xiu finally saw the musket that Qingyuan was talking about. The musket is a firearm that is a big step ahead of the musket, and the most obvious sign is the breech loading.
The musket can be called a breech gun, which is loaded from the breech, and the musket and all the firearms that were developed later can be called a breech gun.
Of course, the craftsmanship level of the musket is much higher than that of the musket, and it is too fine, especially if there is a smoothbore in the barrel, if the process level is not reached, it is too difficult to manufacture, and the existence of the musket can not only greatly improve the accuracy of the firearm, but also greatly improve the power of the bullet, at least four to five times that of the firearm. It's just that even in Tia, muskets can't be mass-produced, let alone in the Windy Country.
Shangguan Xiu, Xiao Jue and the others all used trial muskets, a hundred meters away, the wooden planks wrapped with steel sheets in front and back could be penetrated with one shot, and the power was so great that it was much stronger than the firecracker.
Kyungseon was obviously not interested in the musket, and just stood aside and watched, not even touching it. And Qingyuan's love for muskets can be described as fanatical. While trying to shoot targets with Shangguan Xiu, he talked endlessly about the principle.
At this time, Shangguan Xiu regretted it a little, because he couldn't understand most of the firearms knowledge that Qingyuan explained to him, if he could bring Jin Wan'er as well, then it would be possible for Qingyuan to master the knowledge he was talking about now.
Shangguan Xiu put a short gun that he had just finished, squinted his eyes, looked at the smoothbore line inside along the muzzle, and praised sincerely: "It's not easy to think of the idea of a smoothbore line!"
The bore line has been designed to knowledge of aerodynamics.
Hearing this, Qingyuan laughed proudly, and deliberately glanced at the eldest brother Qingshan on the side, who also laughed, but just shook his head and laughed. Qingyuan patted his chest and said proudly: "It's me! The bore wire was invented by me!"
"It's you?!" Shangguan Xiu was taken aback, stunned for a while, his eyes rolled, and he asked with a smile: "Qingyuan, are you interested in going to Zhenjun?"
"Go to the Wind Country?" "Yes, Zhenjun is in dire need of talents like you now, if you can go to Zhenjun, Zhenjun's level of making muskets can be greatly improved. Shangguan Xiu's words are heartfelt, and he is really eager to be virtuous now.
"Go to the country of wind, go to Zhenjun, no one cares about me, I can do whatever I want, this can be considered. Qingyuan rubbed his chin and muttered.
At this moment, a group of lightly armed warriors walked into the shooting range, led by a little girl of the same age as Shangguan Qingyan, wearing a white puffy skirt, snow-white skin, black wavy hair, looking at the face, exquisite facial features, some baby fat, round face, round and big eyes, Qiong's nose is tall and small, like a doll.
Seeing him, Qingyuan cleared his throat unnaturally, pursed the corners of his mouth again, and whispered, "Princess, Lishandra Adesti." ”
Hearing Qingyuan's reminder, Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but look at the little girl a few more times. Qingyuan muttered again: "A very annoying little girl, much more annoying than Qingyan." ”
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for Shangguan Qingyan to hear clearly. She silently kicked Qingyuan in the back and was kicking on Qingyuan's ass. The latter consciously covered his buttocks, turned his head to look at her angrily, and shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Second brother didn't brush his teeth in the morning and tried not to talk as much as possible, I'm reminding you!" Qingyan said with a smile.
"You dead girl!" Qingyuan unwillingly turned around and grabbed Qingyan, Qingshan frowned, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Okay, you two, if you mess around again, go home as soon as possible." ”
His words made Qingyuan and Qingyan honest, and the two glared at each other fiercely, and turned their heads to the other side in unison.
The little girl walked over to Shangguan Xiu and the others under the escort of a light-armored samurai, and when she was far away, she picked up the small fan used by the nobles, covered her mouth, giggled, and said, "Yo, are the people of Shangguan's family holding a banquet at the shooting range today? Why are the people so complete!" As she spoke, she glanced at everyone, and when her eyes fell on Shangguan Xiu and the others, she couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Who are they?"
Qingyuan rolled his eyes and muttered, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Why doesn't it matter? Wendurt is a forbidden place for Tia, outsiders are not allowed to enter, Qingyuan, you have broken Wendurt's rules now. The little girl's ears were very pointed, and she was far away, and she still heard Qingyuan's muttering.
Qingyuan was about to speak, and Qingshan said: "Princess Palace, they are not outsiders. As he spoke, he pulled Shangguan Xiu to his side and officially introduced: "His name is Shangguan Yuexiu, and he is a clan relative of our Shangguan family. ”
"Your relatives?" Princess Lishan looked at Shangguan Xiu curiously, her eyes fell on the silver hair of his temples, she didn't leave for a long time, after a while, she raised her hand and pointed at Shangguan Xiu, and asked proudly, "How old are you?"
"Little cousin, don't you think it's too rude for you to ask that?" Qingyuan couldn't help it, and interjected.
Their mother, Sara Adesti, was the sister of King Miles Adesti, and Princess Lisandra Adesti was indeed his own cousin.
Although they are cousins, it doesn't mean how good their relationship is, as early as when Lishan was three years old, Xiao Qingyuan went to hug her, and was rubbed with snot, he didn't like this little cousin anymore.
Lishan glared at Qingyuan, ignored him, continued to look at Shangguan Xiu, and said, "This princess is asking you." ”
No matter what she asked Shangguan Xiu, Shangguan Xiu didn't understand it, and her face was inexplicable. Qingshan sighed and said, "Princess Palace, Ah Xiu can't mention Yaya, you still speak wind language!"
"Don't even know Tia, barbarian?" she said this in wind language, Shangguan Xiu, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and others also understood, Shangguan Xiu's expression did not change, and the faces of others also changed.
Xiao Jue said coldly: "The princess hall is so big, if it weren't for the protection of our group of 'barbarians', I'm afraid that the Tiya Kingdom would have ceased to exist a long time ago!"
As the commander of the army of the above official Xiuzhen, he came to Tia, a subject country of Gale, even if the king of Tia saw him, he had to give three points of courtesy, let alone a princess?
