Chapter 52: The First Taste of Sorrow (6)

Hearing Yinzhen say this, Dai Zi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The fourth master has won the award, and he is ashamed to kill the criminal minister." Reading //"

Dai Duo said: "Fourth master, in fact, Mr. Dai also has a stunt, which is really a treasure of my Qing Dynasty." ”

"Oh, just ask the two Mr. Dai to talk about it in detail, and I'll listen to you. Yin Zhen said with interest. I didn't want to hear it, and shouted in my heart: This time I have found a gold ingot. ”

It turned out that Dai Zi's most important achievement was in the development of firearms, he had successfully developed a variety of firearms, and became the most famous firearms expert at that time. Under the influence of his father, he was fond of machine building as a teenager, and once developed a firearm that could shoot at a distance of 100 paces. In the thirteenth year of Kangxi, Geng Jingzhong, who was in Fujian, responded to Wu Sangui's rebellion and invaded Zhejiang. The court sent Prince Kang Jieshu as a general to lead the Qing army to Fujian and Zhejiang to conquer Geng Jingzhong. Dai Zi abandoned literature and martial arts, and served as a cloth cloth, and bluntly said that he was willing to be the king of Chen and knew the general trend of the world. In the army, he presented his Ming "Lianzhu Gong" to Jieshu. "Lianzhu gun", also known as "Lianzhu firegun", is a kind of rear-loaded, smoothbore, single flint gun, but it can pre-store 28 projectiles, and make the loading projectile and the fire linkage, thereby simplifying the loading procedures and greatly improving the rate of fire. This gun is shaped like a pipa, and all gunpowder and lead pellets are stored in the ridge and opened and closed by a wheel. There are two opportunities, which are like oysters. If the first machine is triggered, the gunpowder and lead pellets fall from the barrel, and the second machine will move simultaneously, and the stone will be ignited, and the gun will be burned. Twenty-eight. The gunpowder and lead pellets are exhausted, and they need to be restored. After equipping the army, killing and injuring countless enemy soldiers, Prince Kang shouted for this, called this gun, so he should float a big white, and then Dai Ziwei joined the army. Reading//

In the fifteenth year of Kangxi, the emperor made an exception to the title of Dai Zi's four-grade Taoist for his meritorious work in recovering Jiangshan City. After Geng Jingzhong's rebellion was put down, Dai Zi went to Beijing with Jieshu and was summoned by Kangxi. Kangxi knew that he could write poetry and writing, so he appointed him as a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, and entered the south study at the same time as Gao Shiqi. Soon, it was changed to the Palace of Heart Cultivation and was able to serve the king. Dai Zi originally thought that his heart of serving the country could be realized, but he didn't expect that as the so-called "success is also this skill, defeat is also this skill", the bad luck was also because of his firearm development.

In the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi, the king of the Netherlands sent envoys to China to pay tribute, one of which was called "Pangut Shotgun". Dai Zi was ordered by Emperor Kangxi to quickly imitate ten branches, which were given back by Emperor Kangxi to the Netherlands, causing the Manchu Dynasty to be amazed. Kangxi also rewarded Dai Zi with a yellow coat for this. It probably aroused the jealousy of some courtiers, after all, the people who were fortunate enough to be given yellow coats at that time were those who had immortal military merits, or honored relatives, and other ministers got very little, let alone just a fourth-grade Taoist. Later, Nan Huairen, a missionary Belgian, was the supervisor of Qintian at the time, and the post of the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, was the most favored among all the foreigners who came to China. Once, Nan Huairen boasted to Kangxi about their country's Ming "Cupola Cannon" (also known as "sub-mother cannon"), Kangxi heard about it, sighed at the benefits of this cannon, and immediately ordered Nan Huairen to imitate it, but Nan Huairen was poor for a year, spending tens of thousands of silver, and did not make it. After Dai Zi heard about it, it only took eight days to cause it. Kangxi was very happy and personally led his ministers to the Fengtai camp on the outskirts of Beijing for a test launch. During the test, it was really powerful, only to see that the cannon "the son is in the mother's womb, the mother sends the son, down from the sky, pieces are broken, and it is unstoppable", Kangxi named this cannon as "General Weiyuan", and gave a red coat, covered on the cannon body, and ordered the name of Dai Zi to be engraved on the cannon body to keep a memory.

It's just that he didn't expect that Dai Zi's act of building a cannon also deeply offended Nan Huairen. At this time, there happened to be a thing, there was a famous secretary of the Ministry of Industry, named Chen Hongxun, who was the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he entered the Han army with a blue flag, and there was a petty official from the sixth grade. This person is the most shameless, and it just so happened that once, he bumped into the Japanese people who deliberately bribed Dai Zi because of the cupola cannon and bought cupola paper from him, so he had evil thoughts to blackmail Dai Zi, Dai Zi of course refused on the basis of reason, so the two beat each other. Although Dai Zi is a literati, he has been practicing martial arts all the year round and is agile, so of course Chen Hongxun suffered a lot in this fight, and he was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen. After that, the more Chen Hongxun thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he accused Dai Zi, because of his humble official position, he was not allowed to fold alone, so he handed a clip to Nan Huairen, Nan Huairen was already thinking of looking for an opportunity to retaliate against Dai Zi, which happened to give him the best frame, Rao himself was terminally ill, or wrote this matter into the testament, framing Dai Zi for "fornicating with the East". Although Emperor Kangxi did not believe slander, he was also a little suspicious and ordered Dai Zi to be handed over to the ministry. Fortunately, Prince Kang still remembered Dai Zi's achievements back then, and worked for him up and down, so that he was not imprisoned, but he was also dismissed and was on standby. Now, when he learned that he was going to be exiled to Shengjing, he was desperate, and he wanted to go to a dead end. 

Yin Zhen listened to it, and was embarrassed. Of course, there is also some secret joy in my heart, if I can help Dai Zi clear his name, he should have left a virtuous talent for the country. However, this case is to some extent a Qin murder case in which Kangxi intervened, and if the case is openly overturned, I am afraid it will be inappropriate. And it involves Nan Huairen, Kangxi has a deep affection for him, reversing the case is tantamount to denying Nan Huairen's character, Nan Huairen has been in the dynasty for decades, and his popularity is quite good, the prince, Baylor, clan relatives, ministers, and many friends, and Xixue is the prince, the eldest brother, the third elder brother and even his own master, he really has to tear his face, which is also a problem that he needs to consider. Yin Zhen originally planned to overturn the case for him on the spot, but it was inappropriate to think about it, so he said to Dai Zi: "Mr. Dai, I know about your case, you should relax first, Huang Ama Shengming will not wronged you, besides, I will try my best to help see if there is room for turnaround." Also, these days, you might as well walk around here, and if you need anything, you can always tell Dai Duo or Nian Qianyao. ”

Yinzhen noticed that a look of disappointment flashed in Dai Zi's eyes, although Yinzhen understood his mood at the moment, but at the moment, although he was the emperor's elder brother, he couldn't act rashly regardless of everything, he had to weigh how to act was the best strategy.

Sending Dai Zi away, Dai Duo took a long breath and said, "Fourth Master, just now the slave was really worried that you would immediately promise him to help him overturn the case." ”

Yin Zhen smiled: "In your eyes, is your fourth master really so useless?"

Dai Duo sneered and said: "How dare you, the fourth master, you are chivalrous and courageous, the slave is afraid that the fourth master is impulsive, this matter is very involved, the fourth master should think about it in the long run, but Dai Zi is a usable talent." ”

Yin Zhen said: "I don't know about this, but I do have an idea, but I am not sure." ”
