Chapter 120: Be a Useful Person to Your Majesty (Part 3)
The so-called turning pistol is actually the famous revolver in later generations.
In fact, this kind of thing has been in Europe for a long time, and even began to be sold to the East.
Some of the pirate chieftains on the water were also equipped with some of these handguns.
But there is still a big difference between the turning pistol of this era and the ordinary wheel pistol.
That is, the pistol of this era is not actually loaded with bullets, but like this ordinary musket, it needs to be loaded with gunpowder and then loaded with lead bullets.
And this kind of handjob is not like later generations, it can hold six bullets at a time, he can only load four lead bullets, which is already the limit.
But overall, the handjob is still a good thing, and Zhu Youxiao also equipped his own team of brocade guards who were responsible for defending him.
Even Zhu Youxiao's current robe was hiding a handjob, and when he was in danger, he really planned to go into battle in person, and suddenly attacked anyone who might come up and assassinate him.
The death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse in history is really too strange, although he has now killed Yan Mingtai and Zhou Kui, but he has always felt that this matter is not so simple.
If Zhu Youxiao really encountered any assassins, he didn't plan to do the same thing as Qin Shi Huang when he met Jing Ke, so that Qin Huang walked around the pillar and sent the other party away with a single shot of the pistol.
It's just that Zhu Youxiao has always felt that the power of the handjob in this time and space is too touching.
But it is more practical to fight on the battlefield or a long musket, and Zhu Youxiao didn't take this turret pistol too seriously, and he didn't expect that Sun Yuanhua would give him a surprise now.
Zhu Youxiao just looked at the handgun in this box, and knew that this musket could never be an ordinary gunpowder handgun.
If this is really an ordinary handjob, then this one can't be sacrificed like this.
Obviously, Zhu Youxiao also guessed why Sun Yuanhua said that this kind of handjob is a good thing.
Zhu Youxiao picked up the revolver, and then pushed out the revolver of the musket.
Sure enough, it was no longer filled with the same gunpowder bullets as before, but with metal bullets.
Because of the old reason that the material is not up to standard, this drill handjob is obviously a bit heavy-handed, and it may be difficult to operate with one hand.
Sun Yuanhua saw the musket that Zhu Youxiao weighed, and was afraid that Zhu Youxiao would feel dissatisfied, so he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty's handjob, after all, it is just for convenience, and it is better to paint it secretly, and it is hidden in the robe, and ordinary people can't see it."
"So naturally it can't be compared with the Apocalypse II rifle, so Wechen has reduced the charge of this bullet, and the range has been greatly reduced, probably only outside the shot."
It's pretty good to be able to shoot outside of it, after all, it's almost seventy meters away.
Zhu Youxiao was obviously very satisfied with this thing and smiled: "I really like this thing too, it just happens to be used by my guards, and I will try to make it for me within half a year...... Well...... In the future, this kind of musket will not be called a turning pistol, it should be called a revolver! Get them as soon as possible, and I'll be able to equip my guards."
Zhu Youxiao's guards are from the brocade guards, and those brocade guards who have been passed down from generation to generation can be said to be loyal.
When Sun Yuanhua heard Zhu Youxiao's words, he immediately smiled, although he was under a lot of pressure to get this kind of revolver again within half a year, but he could get it out if he wanted to find a way.
The emperor just named him an earl, because he took a fancy to his talent, and he could do what others couldn't do, so that he could show his value.
"Thank Your Majesty for the name, please rest assured, within half a year, the minister will definitely send qualified revolvers to His Majesty's guards."
When Wang Tiqian next to him heard this, his eyes darkened a little, and their warrior camp was now more and more marginalized by His Majesty.
Zhu Youxiao was very dissatisfied with the combat ability and style of their warrior battalion, and the warrior battalion was also full of a large number of various items
The soldiers and officers of the forces, this is what makes Colonel Zhu You very worried.
However, from the current point of view, this warrior battalion still has a little effect, at least much better than the bunch of old soldiers in the Beijing camp.
Zhu Youxiao was also not happy that Wang Tiqian would be depressed because of this, so he reluctantly encouraged him, "Now the production of these muskets is very tight, and your warrior battalion will not be able to equip it for a while."
"In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will carry out a major reshuffle of your warrior camp, and it may not be impossible to equip it with a new musket at that time."
Wang Tiqian also knew in his heart that their warrior camp was indeed not very competitive.
Especially the problem that Zhu Youxiao was worried about, he also knew in his heart that the warrior camp was not clean enough.
Since Zhu Youxiao came back to life, his personality and ideas have changed a lot.
He now has higher requirements for his subordinate officials, and he is more willing to be rewarded.
For example, the officials of the new eunuch party that Zhu Youxiao has recently promoted are not good at currying favor with His Majesty or writing splendid articles.
That must have its own strengths and talents in order to be reused by Zhu Youxiao.
At the same time, the reward that Zhu Youxiao is now giving is also very different from before, for example, Sun Yuanhua was actually promoted to earl, which has never happened before.
Obviously, the current Zhu Youxiao really wants to give them a future.
But the same thing is very cruel, and Wang Tiqian can clearly feel that with Zhu Youxiao's current approach, once any minister can't keep up with his pace, even if this minister is a former eunuch minister, he may be abandoned.
Although Zhu Youxiao may look at the previous role, he will still give them an idle job so that they can have a suitable old age.
But these are not what Wang Tiqian wants, what he wants is real and real, and he can hold the power in his hands.
And Wang Tiqian, as a eunuch, if he wants to get this kind of thing, he must be praised and liked by His Majesty.
The easiest way is for Wang Tiqian to be a useful person to His Majesty.
Even if Wang Tiqian hadn't seen Principal Zhu You grow up with his own eyes, he would have been a little skeptical that the one in front of him was really Zhu Youxiao.
After thinking clearly about the key to this, Wang Tiqian also had his own shortcomings.
He suddenly knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao and kowtowed heavily.
