A rifle and bullets, in fact, are not complicated, taken apart, just a few parts. At the level of Manchu craftsmen, it can still be imitated, but the materials are not up to standard, and even if they are made, they are useless.

Kangxi's face turned blue, and he shouted loudly to Shangshu and a few craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry: "What the White Lotus Sect can make, why can't I make it in the Qing Dynasty? It's because you are incompetent! What use do I want you to do? Get out, get out of here." ”

These officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were the way of officials, which was very thoroughly studied, and when it came to reasoning, the head was the way. But it is to drop the chain at a critical moment.

Kangxi really wanted to cut off the heads of the Ministry of Works, but he couldn't. The cavalry of the Qing Dynasty has just been defeated by Chen Ji, and if you kill the minister at this time, I am afraid that the court will be panicked. The situation will be even more dire.

There's no way around it.

Kangxi had no way in his heart, he could only look at Shunzhi with a look of help in his eyes.

Although Kangxi is young, he knows that this time the Qing Dynasty is really at the moment of life and death. If he does not survive this catastrophe, he will die with no place to bury.

Shunzhi's heart was very solemn, and he also felt the pressure.

In the past, the pressure that Chen Ji put on him was martial arts. After all, Chen Ji is the first person in the world, even if Shunzhi is a genius, when facing Chen Ji, he is still a little powerless. But after getting the Zhan Lu Sword, Shunzhi was not afraid of Chen Ji, and in terms of martial arts and weapons, he had the capital to compete with Chen Ji. Even if you can't defeat Chen Ji, there is still no problem in saving your life.

But now, the appearance of the rifle gave Shunzhi a blow to the head and made him feel a suffocating pressure.

Martial arts are not immortal arts, and sometimes, it is not strong martial arts that can solve the problem. Shunzhi, like Kangxi, is also helpless.

Shunzhi said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the appearance of the rifle was too sudden, and it caught us off guard, and now I can't do anything." ”

Kangxi felt dark in his heart, and muttered to himself: "How should it be good, how should it be good?"

Shunzhi sighed, his eyes were a little erratic, as if he was recalling something, and then said: "The Qing Dynasty dominates the world with cavalry and shooting, and the rifle is not out, and the iron cavalry of the Great Qing Dynasty is invincible." When the regent Dolgon led his troops into the Central Plains and won the world, he discovered the threat of firearms to the Qing Dynasty. ”

Among the Manchus, there were still smart people.

When Dolgon discovered the threat of firearms, he curbed the development of firearms, and those who made firearms privately exterminated the nine tribes. Even the master craftsmen of the imperial court and the Ministry of Industry who made firearms were killed.

Shunzhi continued to say to Kangxi: "Once the Han people master the firearms, the banner people have no advantage. In terms of force, without absolute superiority, millions of banner people, no matter what, cannot suppress hundreds of millions of Han people. For the sake of the bannermen, in order to be able to control the world for a long time, the regent Dorgon killed many craftsmen, and later your father killed some more. Now those craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry can only be regarded as second-rate at best. ”

Kangxi looked at Shunzhi in surprise and asked, "Master Xingzhi, why do you know these things about my Qing Dynasty so clearly." These things, even within my Great Qing Dynasty, are secrets, how did you know about them?"

The slaughter of firearms craftsmen, Dolgon and Shunzhi, all found many excuses, but their fundamental purpose was to limit the development of firearms and limit the control of Han power. These confidential things are now afraid that only the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Kangxi themselves can know.

But it's incredible that this idiot master of Wutai Mountain actually knows these inside stories.

Shunji pulled down the mask.

He intends to reveal his identity in front of Kangxi. The Qing Dynasty is going to be finished, and there is no point in hiding your identity again. Besides, Shunzhi's identity in the martial arts world is simply an open secret.

Seeing Shunzhi's face, Kangxi's pupils shrank, and he looked horrified: "Are you ...... Are you the father? no, it can't be. My father is dead, you are not my father, say, who are you?"

Shunzhi's shock to Kangxi was too great.

How can the dead be raised?

Shunzhi said: "I cheated my father to die in order to deal with Aobai. At that time, Aobai's threat to our Aixin Jueluo family was no less than Chen Ji. If it weren't for me, you would think that Wutai Mountain would send two great masters to help you kill Aobai? You are too naïve. ”

After a full stick of incense, Kangxi's heart calmed down.

Shunzhi smiled bitterly: "Before, I thought it was the right thing to do to kill those craftsmen. But now, I regret it. ”

If you don't kill those Han craftsmen, even if you can't imitate the rifle, you should still be able to make some firearms with a little less power. Although it is still not the opponent of the White Lotus Sect, it can bring the strength of the two sides closer.

Now that the White Lotus Sect has a rifle, the Qing Dynasty does not, Shunzhi understands the power of the rifle too well, and with ten rifles, he can shoot a martial arts master. Even if there are more iron horses in the Qing Dynasty, it is not enough to kill with rifles.

Kangxi's face was gloomy, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of his spirit.

Shunzhi said to him: "You go back to the palace first, and then think of a way for your father." ”

....................................

The strength of the rifle not only scared Shunzhi and Kangxi half to death, but even Zhu Cihong was terrified. In the face of Chen Ji's musket army, he Zhu Cihong had no way to dominate the world and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong took a deep breath, looked at Zheng Chenggong, Wang Jiang and the others, and asked, "The White Lotus Sect used a rifle to wipe out tens of thousands of Manchu cavalry, and everyone knows this matter. Let's talk about it, where should we go from here? Is there any hope for this palace to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore sight?"

Chen Jinnan secretly said in his heart: Of course, there is no problem in opposing the Qing Dynasty. But if you want to restore the Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is finished, that is, when Chen Ji and their side are the most powerful, how can they fight on their side?

Knowing that there would be a terrifying firearm like a rifle, Chen Jinnan would not have left the White Lotus Sect and taken refuge in Zhu Cihong. Such thoughts flashed in Chen Jinnan's heart, and then his belief became firm again. Since he took refuge in Zhu Cihong and decided to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, he must unswervingly go on, even if he fails in the end, he will not fight in vain.

Everyone here is thinking about what to do.

Wang Jiang said: "The appearance of the rifle really caught us off guard. Fortunately, we are still in alliance with the White Lotus Sect for the time being, and we have not completely torn our faces. Tomorrow I will leave for Guangzhou to talk to Chen Ji to see if I can introduce the manufacturing process of rifles. ”

Wang Jiang can see that without a rifle, even if there are ten great grandmasters on his side, they are not capable of going wild. Now it is the only way to go to Chen Ji for the rifle manufacturing process.

It's just that Chen Ji will hand over the manufacturing process of the rifle?

Wang Jiang didn't report any hope, even if he was Chen Ji's senior brother, once he opened this mouth, maybe he and Chen Ji wouldn't even have to do it.

The consequences were serious, but Wang Jiang still had to do it, because he had no choice.
