Chapter 16 Grace and Might
Apocalypse glanced at the young eunuch who was prostrate on the ground and said, "Find out twenty of the best craftsmen here." ”
The young eunuch hurriedly got up and asked a few overseers to quickly find out the craftsmen they knew.
Not long after, twenty craftsmen who looked like prisoners were brought forward, and they were so nervous that they were about to kneel, and Apocalypse immediately said, "No need to kneel. ”
The group was a little at a loss, and Tianqi said: "You don't have to be nervous, I came to you because I have something to tell you." If you do it well, I will be rewarded. ”
Immediately let the wooden flintlock pistol he had made of be fetched, and let him bring another bird gun in the battle.
He took the two guns in his hands, and asked the twenty craftsmen to raise their heads and look at them carefully, and when they saw that everyone looked at them obediently, he explained: "This wooden musket is an improvement of the bird's gun, and its biggest difference is that it is no longer lit with an arquebus, but with flint. ”
Tian Dian pointed to the flint machine, and said: "This is the flint machine, it comes with a medicine pool, and after filling the gunpowder, it can avoid the invasion of wind and rain to a great extent." ”
"There is a flint sandwiched here, and through the action of the machine spring, the flint is struck on the anvil to produce the gunpowder that ignites the pot."
"Therefore, there is no need to ignite the arquebus in advance like a bird's gun, and it can also avoid premature misplacement, so that the speed and accuracy of the launch can be significantly improved."
"I have high hopes for this musket, this is a sharp weapon for my Ming to defeat Jianyu, you must be attentive."
"Those who behave well, I will issue a decree to allow them to change their nationality, exempt them from all forced labor, and eat the imperial court's salary, with a monthly salary of more than five taels of silver......"
What the apocalypse said earlier, everyone almost didn't react, because in their subconscious, they had been doing this for generations, and they had long been numb.
Moreover, it is even more dangerous to do it for the emperor, and if there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that my life will not be saved.
So, instead of getting the slightest bit excited, they were nervous.
However, the last sentence seemed to make them come to life in an instant, and their eyes lit up unconsciously, and they couldn't believe their ears.
Changing nationality, exempting from forced labor, and eating the court's money, any of these things they can't get with all their might, and now as long as they do a good job of the flintlock pistol in the hands of Banzai, they can have them all.
What is it? This is the emperor's grace, this is the green smoke from the ancestral tomb, this is the eyes of the ancestors and the ancestors......
Some people couldn't even help but swallow their saliva, eager to do it immediately.
There was also a commotion from the hundreds of craftsmen in the rear, and they also thought, ah, some of them were still angry about this, and felt that they should be among the twenty.
If it weren't for the deep fear of imperial power, I'm afraid that I would have rushed up at this moment.
Apocalypse naturally felt their eagerness, so he said, "You also have a chance, as long as you have talent and do your best, I will never treat you badly." ”
As soon as these words fell, the gloomy atmosphere of the entire military battle situation disappeared in an instant, and everyone felt that there was hope for life.
Although they had never seen the emperor before, they all knew that the emperor was true to his word, and since he said so, he would definitely not break his word.
Immediately, Apocalypse carefully explained each part of the flintlock pistol in detail, and the craftsmen who could see it were staring intently, and those who could not see it pricked up their ears to listen, for fear of missing a word.
Moreover, this is a lecture of long live, for thousands of years, there will definitely be no second person, if this is said, it is also a matter of glory to the ancestors.
"Who doesn't understand? Just ask, I'll answer it for you. ”
After speaking, Apocalypse's gaze swept towards the twenty craftsmen.
At this moment, although these craftsmen are still full of fear, they are obviously not as afraid as before.
In order not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fine flintlock pistol as soon as possible, a dark-skinned man mustered up his courage, squeezed away the two people in front of him, and knelt down with a plop and said: "Million, long live, small, villain thinks, I want to know, this, this, how to build this machine spring." ”
In one sentence, it seems that the strength of the whole body has been exhausted, and after finishing speaking, he is already sweating profusely.
Apocalypse smiled kindly and said, "You get up and speak." ”
The swarthy man instinctively glanced left and right, and then cautiously responded, "Yes." ”
The apocalypse did not put any emperor on the shelf, and carefully explained the production method of the machine spring, so that everyone present felt that the emperor who was high above also had such an approachable side.
At this moment, two figures outside stumbled in, and then knelt in front of the apocalypse with a plop, and said in horror: "Slave, long live the slave." ”
Apocalypse only saw that these two people were eunuchs, but he didn't know who they were, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Slave and maid, the eunuch Jiang Bingqian, the palm seal of the slave and maid soldiers, please long live the sin."
"Zhou Bing, the commander of the Slave and Maid Soldiers Bureau, the eunuch of the armory, the slave and maid deserve death, please forgive me."
The two of them trembled and reported to themselves, and then prostrate their bodies deeply, their buttocks cocked high.
It turned out to be these two people, Tianqi pondered for a while, and said coldly: "Okay, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, from today onwards, you will be in the Huanyi Bureau but you will be alive." ”
Hearing this, the two of them thundered like five thunders, this was directly assigned, and it was almost impossible to turn over again.
"Long live, be gracious, please be gracious."
The two of them howled bitterly.
Apocalypse didn't have the slightest mercy, and said with a wave of his hand: "Drag it down." ”
Several burly Han generals stepped forward and directly dragged the two of them down, and the entire military battle was instantly silent.
This is Long Yan's anger, it's so terrifying.
Apocalypse looked at the young eunuch and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The young eunuch was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Long live Qiyu, slave Gao Xiaochuan." ”
Tianqi nodded and said, "Okay, Gao Xiaochuan, from today onwards, you will be the eunuch of the Palm Seal of the War Bureau." ”
Gao Xiaochuan was first shocked, and then ecstatic, because this was simply a step to the sky for him.
"Long live Xie, long live Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Gao Xiaochuan kept kowtowing to express his infinite gratitude.
But then the words of the apocalypse made his heart sink.
"Don't be too happy, I still know a thing or two about the war."
"I don't care what happened before, but from now on, don't let me know about it. Put all your thoughts on this flintlock pistol, and when the errand is done, I will not treat you badly. ”
"If you still fool me with this kind of shoddy firearm, it won't be as simple as going to the Huanyi Bureau."
After that, the apocalypse directly threw the bird gun in his hand in front of Gao Xiaochuan, Gao Xiaochuan was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the slave will do her best to build this flintlock pistol." ”
……
Apocalypse and his party left for a while, and the people of the entire military battle bureau were still like stone sculptures, not daring to move.
Gao Xiaochuan, who had become a palm print eunuch, still knelt on the ground respectfully, and turned his head to glance at a small eunuch next to him.
The eunuch was startled at the same time, and hurriedly came to the door carefully, and he could no longer see the long-lived car in his sight, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ran back to report to Gao Xiaochuan.
Gao Xiaochuan got up and said loudly to the craftsmen: "You also heard the words of long live just now, and if you make this flintlock pistol, everyone will soar." Otherwise, our family will not be happy, and you should not think about it. ”
"Quick, get to work."
Suddenly, all the craftsmen took action, and at this moment, there were no more complaints of oppression.
