"Huh? Really, how embarrassing is that? Blacksmith Ouyang Zhi's face suddenly showed a "shy" look.

Boy.

From the face of a big man, see the shyness?

I almost didn't vomit Huo Guang.

You say you want what you want, what are you shy, and you're not a female doll.

Forthwith.

Huo Guang patted Ouyang Zhi's shoulder angrily and said, "Of course it's true, Ben Hou never says anything deceitful." ”

When Ouyang Zhi heard this, the smile on his face was even worse, and he said: "If what Bo Luhou said is true, let alone the inheritance of Master Ou Yezi, even if I let you be a cow and a horse, I am also willing." ”

Boy.

And this begins to show loyalty?

That's right, too.

An iron shop that belongs to itself, but bears the name of the imperial court.

This is for blacksmiths.

The attraction, even if money and beauty are placed in front of you, is not as attractive as this blacksmith shop.

Since the official camp of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

All salt and iron matters were handled by the imperial court.

Without the permission of the imperial court, no one dares to build the farm tools needed for land sowing privately, let alone have a blacksmith shop of their own!

So!

It's not for nothing that this guy is so excited.

Seeing that the other party was encircled by the conditions he proposed, Huo Guang immediately said: "It's okay to be a cow and a horse, you only need to be responsible for forging this kind of iron pipe."

"Good!" At this time, Ouyang Zhi couldn't wait to raise his hands in agreement.

Looked at.

Huo Guang nodded, first settling down for him to live.

Then, back in the house, he began to draw the blueprints of the bird's gun.

Let's be honest.

If Huo Guang is asked to draw the design drawings of the rifle during World War II, then he can still draw some points based on his impression. But how to draw the bird, Huo Guang has no clue at all.

So.

Say it's a bird?

Actually, it's just to paint the appearance of a mid-flair rifle.

Of course, things like pulling bolts to withdraw bullet casings, Huo Guang doesn't need to think about it.

Because!

The bird gun doesn't need this at all.

In the structure of the bird gun designed by Huo Guang, there are components such as the front sight of the rifle, the bolt machine, and the handle of the gun.

Of course.

These designs may be different from real bird guns.

But one thing is the same.

It is the pre-ignited arquebus and the trigger that can be pulled, which is also the origin of the name of the arquebus.

Nothing else matters, but the arquebus is important.

Because Huo Guang was painting and designing the rifle in his impression and the bird gun in his imagination, after the painting was completed, Huo Guang suddenly found a huge problem.

Damn!

He also added a bayonet to the gun.

Boy!

Now it's really a shotgun for a rifle.

The design drawings are all drawn, and they are not pencil paintings, and the ink is not easy to wipe, so Huo Guang is too lazy to care.

Directly with the drawn design drawings, he came to the carpentry shop of carpenter Li Hong, and began to discuss and polish the components of the bird gun with him.

Carpenter Li Hong has good skills.

Describe it yourself and match the design drawings you make.

This carpenter really processed and polished the required bird gun accessories one by one.

What Huo Guang has to do now is to combine the barrel and these accessories made by carpenter Li Hong one by one.

Wait until it's ready.

Huo Guang suddenly found that the gun in his hand had the iconic beak of a bird's gun, it was obviously a modern rifle!

Pity.

The kernel is still a bird's gun.

No matter how the appearance changes, it has to rely on the fire rope to use.

After the bird gun was assembled, the next thing Huo Guang had to do was to check whether the gun was easy to use.

First of all.

Light the rope and add gunpowder and polished iron beads to the bird's gun.

Aiming at the clay pot slightly, Huo Guang cautiously shot at the clay pot.

He was a little afraid of exploding his chamber and blinding himself.

It became a one-eyed dragon, no matter how handsome it was.

After pulling the trigger.

The arquebus of the bird ignited the gunpowder inside the barrel, and only a "bang" was heard.

The iron beads in the gun hit the clay pot directly, and the powerful impact force made the clay pot shatter instantly.

Boy.

The power is still good.

In the next few days, Huo Guang took the bird gun and went to hunt birds outside the city.

Bird guns, don't hit birds, what is it called!

In fact.

The main purpose is to check whether the barrel is fit or not. A gun, the most basic and important part, is the barrel.

The barrel is not good, everything is over.

After firing more than a dozen rounds of iron beads, Huo Guang found that the barrel forged by Ouyang Zhi was quite good.

Quality-wise, there are no problems.

After a dozen rounds, the barrel was still as good as new, and there was not a single swell or crack or anything.

That's great!

After a round of birds outside the city, Huo Guang rode a big black horse and carried the bird back to the city.

In this day and age, there is no doubt about it.

Huo Guang was the first person to make a bird gun, and in the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, how could anyone have seen this thing.

So.

Huo Guang came in with a gun openly, and the soldiers guarding the city only thought that Huo Guang was carrying a novelty, and didn't care at all, and even licked a smile to say hello to Huo Guang.

on this.

Huo Guang just nodded and ignored it.

According to Wei Yan.

In the case of these marquises, their status is noble, and those who are lowly and humble do not need to pay attention to greetings.

But.

Huo Guang did not dare to agree with this statement.

Even Wei Yan's general's father, Wei Qing, would not do such a thing.

When others say hello, even if it is a stranger he doesn't know, Huo Guang will subconsciously nod his head in response.

is also Wei Ling, the second ancestor, who has no ability, and regards himself as superior every day.

However.

When he returned to the city, Huo Guang suddenly found that people from the palace had come to his house.

This home.

It is Huo Fu, where Huo Quai.

Brother's home is his Huo Guang's home.

Huo Guang still carried the gun on his shoulder, looked at the people in the palace, and asked, "What are you doing in my Huo Mansion, Your Majesty summoned me to the palace?" ”

The eunuchs immediately shook their heads.

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Then what are you here for?" ”

When he heard this, he immediately said: "Back to Bo Luhou, it is Your Majesty who asked us to remind you that half a month has passed, don't forget the matter of being crowned king." ”

Huo Guang suddenly slapped his head.

In the past half a month, most of the time has been spent on guns.

Especially in the past two days, playing this bird gun every day,

completely forgot about the three sons of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to become kings.

And tomorrow, it's the morning meeting.

The egg hurts.

However, Huo Guang still had a calm look on his face, and said: "I know, Benhou will not forget about His Majesty's affairs, please rest assured Your Majesty!" ”

After speaking. He sent the eunuchs away.

Subsequently.

Non-stop visits to Zhang Tang and Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai.

These two people need to talk well, unlike their uncle Wei Qing, who is easy to talk.

Because it's not early.

Huo Guang went to Zhang Tang Mansion and Prime Minister's Mansion, because of the experience of the last time, plus both of them knew about it.

So.

Without much further ado, I took it.

As for Uncle Wei Qing's side.

Huo Guang didn't even look for it, after all, it was his uncle who said it at tomorrow's court meeting, and he should know everything.

But this day of the pilgrimage.

The tug of war between the three sons and the king, Huo Guang didn't care.

The most important thing is to recommend the bird to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che. He had to present this good thing before he could ask His Majesty for a blacksmith shop to specialize in crafting such weapons.

Thereupon.

Huo Guang took Ouyang Zhi and came to the palace gate.

He handed over the gun to Ouyang Zhi for safekeeping, and said solemnly to him: "You just wait outside the gate of this palace, wait for the people in the palace to come out and ask what your name is, and you will reply normally." ”

"Then, you follow him into the palace."

"When the time comes, you will be able to meet the Ben Hou in the court."

Ouyang Zhi immediately nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Since Huo Guang had revealed to him in advance, whether he could get a blacksmith shop in the name of the imperial court depended on today.

So.

Ouyang Zhi's expression today was also very serious and worried.

Huo Guang finished telling him.

And he walked in.

Waiting into the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and the ministers, waiting quietly in the hall for Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Morning meeting.

The Three Princes and Nine Emperors need to come early, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as the emperor, is normal to come late.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che came.

The crowd saluted him.

After the kneeling ceremony was completed, at the court meeting, some Jiuqing people reported various matters.

But.

Today's highlight is still the matter of tug-of-war and sealing the king.

After a tug-of-war between the monarchs and ministers, in the end, Emperor Wu of Han still refused the matter.

After all, the tug-of-war with Huo Guang's previous design has only started twice, and with the brother's first invitation, it has only been three times.

So.

In the next month and a half, I will come back three more times.

After a total of five or six tug-of-wars.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed a feeling of helplessness, and then he was very happy to give the three princes and each of them kings.

Of course.

It's still early, at least in a month.

Then.

After the tug-of-war between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the ministers, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the three princes and the nine ministers and said, "Everyone, do you have anything else to ask for?" ”

"If nothing happens."

"Let's quit!"

In the court, the three princes and nine kings looked at each other, and they all said that they were fine.

Together with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che was also preparing to leave.

However, at this time, Huo Guang stood up and said respectfully to Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, Shangshu Lingchen Huo Guang has something to say!" ”

During the Han Dynasty.

When a courtier speaks to His Majesty, he likes to add an official position in front of him, and the word "minister" is said in the middle, and the name of the speaker is added at the end.

It's quite cumbersome.

But that's how the etiquette came about, and Huo Guang could only say this!

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, "What does Bo Luhou have to ask for, but he waited until this time to say?" ”

In the words, there is quite dissatisfaction.

Possible.

It's tired of fighting with the three princes and nine qing!

There is no way, the ladies of the harem of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are all beautiful. After a long time, the body is weak and normal.

See Emperor Wu of Han questioning.

Huo Guang then said: "Your Majesty, the thing that the minister wants to ask you for is that the minister and one person have come up with a very powerful new weapon, which is a novelty. ”

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was originally a little resentful, heard the words "novelty", and his spirit immediately came up.

Emperor Wu of Han liked novelty the most, so he asked, "Oh, what is the weapon of this novelty, you tell me!" ”

Seeing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was interested.

Huo Guang continued: "Your Majesty, the novelty that the minister wants to introduce to you this time is called an arquebus!" ”

"Your Majesty."

"Do you remember the gunpowder that the minister submitted to His Majesty last time?"

Emperor Wu of Han frowned and said, "Gunpowder? You mean, the powder that the Flying Thunder Cannon must have, right? ”

Huo Guang immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, it's exactly that kind of powder." ”

"Your Majesty has seen the power of gunpowder."

"This time, the arquebus also needs to use the powder of gunpowder."

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han's eyes lit up.

The power of gunpowder.

Liu Che has seen it, so naturally he will not underestimate it.

Right now.

Huo Guang said that after making a new weapon with gunpowder, he said impatiently: "Bo Luhou, can there be a finished product, take it and take a look at it?" ”

All.

It was all expected by Huo Guang.

He understands Liu Che's character and temper too well.

Forthwith.

Huo Guang said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, there are very few finished products, only one arquebus. I have asked them to be held and waited outside the palace gate, and His Majesty may summon them at any time. ”

Hear the words.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, had a strong interest on his face and said, "Is this new weapon called an arquebus?" It's a little interesting, come and summon them into the palace. ”

"No."

When the eunuch heard this, he went to summon Ouyang Zhi, a blacksmith who was waiting outside the palace gate.

Wait for it to come in.

Ouyang Zhi, this guy, after seeing His Majesty, immediately collapsed to the ground in fright.

Emperor Wu of Han, who was in a high position, saw Ouyang Zhi's appearance like this, and frowned: "What's wrong with him?" ”

Huo Guang arched his hand and replied: "Your Majesty, this person is a blacksmith who made arquebuses with me, and he came to me from the territory of Zhao Kingdom. ”

"In the middle of nowhere, I have never seen the majesty of His Majesty."

"I guess I was scared by your momentum."

Hear the words.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was suddenly happy, and the resentful resentment at the beginning disappeared completely.

Man!

Even if he becomes an emperor, he likes to be patted on the back.

Who is upset to say nice things?

Emperor Wu of Han was in a good mood, so he said: "Bo Luhou, let him stand up, I won't eat him, what are you afraid of." ”

"Alright."

"What arquebus you are talking about, is that the thing he is holding in his arms, show it to me."

When Ouyang Zhi heard this, he immediately wanted to get up and send it up.

Huo Guang hurriedly grabbed him, and at the same time took the arquebus he was holding in his arms, waited for the eunuch to come down, handed it over to the eunuch, and then waited for the eunuch to deliver it to His Majesty.

When Emperor Wu of Han saw this thing, he smiled and said, "It is indeed a novelty, it is the first time I have seen this kind of weapon, and it is quite heavy." ”

"Eh, Huo Guang, why can't I see where this weapon has a blade?"

"Could it be a blunt object?"

As an ancient person, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only distinguishes between blunt weapons and sharp weapons, which is normal.

And arquebuses are not actually among the cold weapons.

It is a thermal weapon, and naturally there is no distinction between blunt and sharp weapons.

See Emperor Wu of Han questioning.

Huo Guang then said: "Your Majesty, since it is a new weapon, it is naturally different from traditional weapons, and it is not among blunt weapons and sharp weapons. ”

"It's like the thunder cannon invented by the minister."

"It's another mode of attack, if Your Majesty wants to understand, the minister can demonstrate it for Your Majesty."

Hear the demo.

Emperor Wu of Han immediately nodded, asked the eunuch to return the arquebus to Huo Guang, and said, "Then please ask Bo Luhou to demonstrate it!" ”

Huo Guang took back the gun sent by the eunuch.

Immediately.

I also asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to ask for a ceramic jar and placed it outside the palace gate.

Then use the fire of the oil lamp in the palace, light the pre-lit rope, and then aim at the ceramic jar outside the temple gate.

Because of the bird hunting outside the city a few days ago, Huo Guang at this time had already mastered the use of arquebuses in one go.

After pulling the trigger.

The arquebus ignites the gunpowder inside the barrel.

Suddenly there was a "bang", and outside the temple gate, the ceramic jar shattered to the ground.

Inside the temple.

The officials were also in a mess. (End of chapter)
