Chapter 279: Can't Imitate

Chen Xin won a big victory, and Chen Ji soon learned the news. He was not surprised at all, if the elite troops equipped with rifles could not take down the Manchu cavalry, it was Chen Xin's command problem.

Zhang Mingyue took the information passed down from the battlefield and looked at it carefully, and said, "In the future, I'm afraid it will be the world of rifles." Bows and arrows will soon be withdrawn from the stage of history. The cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in front of the rifle, was simply vulnerable. ”

With Zhang Mingyue's eyes, he can completely see the role of the rifle.

Chen Ji smiled and did not speak. Rifles replace bows and arrows, that's for sure. The birth of the rifle not only made the bow and arrow withdraw from the stage of history, but even the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry also had to withdraw from the stage of history.

Chen Jike knew that two hundred years later, a few dozen people in the foreign spear team of Western foreigners could slaughter thousands of Manchu cavalry.

Zhang Mingyue saw Chen Xin's news and said lightly: "Chen Xin, this girl, has good martial arts, but she is a little pedantic. Don't let the warrior die under the rifle? She can figure out what is the difference between killing with martial arts and killing with a rifle and killing the enemy with a rifle?"

How convenient it is to shoot to death the two martial arts masters of the Manchu vanguard cavalry unit with rifles. But Chen Xin actually fought with them with one enemy and two enemies, and it is said that he also suffered internal injuries.

She was self-inflicted, and she didn't deserve sympathy.

After the rifle was studied, not all martial arts masters were like Chen Xin, who was resistant, believing that it was not as convenient as killing the enemy with a bullet after decades of hard work in martial arts.

Zhang Mingyue was very happy, she didn't think that the birth of the rifle would have any impact on her. Because the rifle is in their own hands.

Besides, the real Chinese martial arts is to maintain health first and then kill the enemy. Martial arts put health first. Fighting is just a necessary means to protect one's own life and property.

When martial arts reach the level of Chen Ji, there is a higher level of understanding and views on health preservation. Treating martial arts as violence is very one-sided, and it can even be said to be wrong and extreme.

When Chen Xin was a child, he regarded martial arts as a pure means of fighting and killing enemies. But Chen Ji did not correct him. Because that is Chen Xin's understanding of martial arts. If Chen Ji corrects it, maybe it will backfire, because the things Chen Ji said are his own comprehension, his own martial arts. may not be suitable for Chen Xin.

Everyone's martial arts path is different. Just like Chen Ji and Daoist Baihe, they are both great masters, but their understanding of martial arts is completely different.

Chen Xin said with a smile: "It can't be said that Chen Xin's girl is pedantic and regards martial arts as a fighting skill, maybe this is her way." ”

The technique is close to the Tao.

If you develop your skills to the extreme, you will be able to touch the edge of the avenue. Therefore, as long as Chen Xin has firm beliefs, it is entirely possible for him to become an innate martial artist and step into the level of a great grandmaster.

Chen Ji finally said: "Mingyue, inform Chen Xin, let her not get carried away, just block the Manchu army." Don't go deep into the hinterland and hit north of the Yangtze River. We don't have the power to control too much territory for the time being. ”

Zhang Mingyue nodded and said, "Yes, I know." ”

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

The rifle of the White Lotus Sect is too sharp and terrifying. The vanguard of the Manchus was annihilated, and only a few cavalry escaped. Such an invincible posture suppressed the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Not only did Kangxi feel a burst of despair, but even Shunzhi was scared out of a cold sweat.

Shunzhi knew that Chen Ji liked to play tricks and tricks, which was also the reason why the scholars of the Qing Dynasty hated him. But he didn't expect that Chen Ji actually came up with such a terrifying "hidden weapon" as a rifle.

Kangxi came to Shunzhi's small courtyard and said anxiously: "Master of Idiot, tens of thousands of vanguard cavalry have been wiped out, and the firearms of the White Lotus Sect are too ferocious, what should I do?"

The tens of thousands of cavalry of the Qing Dynasty were completely annihilated, which has never happened since the birth of the Qing Dynasty, but this time it appeared. It's a sign of the country's demise.

Shunzhi had not seen the actual rifle, and it was not easy for him to judge how powerful the rifle was, and whether it could hurt himself? But this kind of firearm has unparalleled lethality against ordinary soldiers, that is for sure. If the Qing Dynasty does not come up with an effective countermeasure, it will doom. It's just a matter of time or night.

Shunzhi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you go back first." I personally went to the White Lotus Sect's army and got a few rifles. ”

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.

Shunzhi's understanding of the White Lotus Sect is still too little, and he still doesn't know what a rifle is. There is no choice but to take action in person and talk about it after you get your hands on the rifle.

With Shunzhi's ability, if he wants the army of the White Lotus Sect to snatch a few rifles, it is a simple matter, like taking something in a bag.

Seven days later, Shunzhi returned to Beijing. During this time, he not only learned to use a rifle, but also developed a deep understanding of rifles.

Kangxi took the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and a few craftsmen who had made firearms to the small courtyard of Shunzhi: "Master Xingzhi, I brought the person you wanted." ”

Shunzhi was dressed in a black robe, only his eyes were exposed, he nodded, and said, "Twelve rifles have been brought back from this seat, you all have a look." ”

The rifles of the White Lotus Sect were too exquisitely made, and Shunzhi had never seen such a sophisticated firearm. A rifle is not like a weapon, but rather a work of art.

Even if you know the principle of manufacturing, with the ability of the Qing Dynasty, can you make it?

Kangxi picked up a rifle and after fumbling for a few minutes, he finally knew how to use it.

Reload, pull the bolt, shoot. The movements are also smooth.

Syllable!

A gunshot rang out.

When the Ministry of Industry Shangshu saw the canopy hit by the bullet, his face changed greatly, and he was shocked: "What a powerful firearm, what a powerful penetrating power." With such a powerful bullet, within three hundred steps, the armor of the Great Qing Dynasty could not stop it. ”

Three hundred steps, that's more than two hundred meters. At this distance, the bullet can pierce armor.

Terror.

Kangxi felt a tingling of his scalp.

"How could the White Lotus Sect have such a terrifying killing weapon?" Kangxi muttered.

Shunzhi said: "The Han people have always had a penchant for specializing in strange skills, and Chen Ji is one of the best. Now Chen Ji wants money and money, and he wants people, and after all these years, Chen Ji has come up with a rifle, which is actually reasonable. Now the main question is whether the Qing Dynasty can imitate the rifle. As long as I can make the rifle in the Qing Dynasty, then we will be on par with the strength of the White Lotus Sect again. ”

Kangxi looked at the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and a few craftsmen.

The craftsmen looked at each other, and suddenly they all knelt down and said tremblingly: "Go back to the emperor." The minions took apart a rifle, and the construction and principle of this firearm were basically understood by the minions. But if you want to imitate it, minions and others can't do it. The slave deserves death, please forgive the emperor. ”

Kangxi glared at him and shouted, "Why can't you do it?" Dog minion, don't you already know the structure of the rifle?"

One craftsman said, "Materials. Your Majesty, there are no suitable materials in the Qing Dynasty. For example, good steel, and that kind of gunpowder that has no smoke......"
