[The easter egg at the end of the chapter releases the current situation of the fictional world, which is a map. You can take a look~]
When we arrived at the school grounds, we found that the place had been sealed off, with only a few guards inside, all of whom were old acquaintances of Zhu Jinghong.
"I've met Master Thirteen!"
"Stop talking nonsense, take the things out and let me take a look!"
In fact, Zhu Jinghong had already seen the boxes containing firecrackers. There were seven in total at the scene.
Opening the box on the far left, there was a black lacquer spear inside, and Zhu Jinghong picked it up immediately.
"Thirteenth Master has a good eye. This is the best musket at the moment. It is only deployed in large numbers by the bodyguards and soldiers. It seems to be called... called a self-fire gun!"
Hou Jing, who was born in Duke Xiu's palace, introduced it promptly, showing off his limited knowledge.
The so-called self-propelled gun is actually a flintlock gun. It is indeed an advanced weapon at present. The only disadvantage is the high cost.
Zhu Jinghong said solemnly: "If you have any bullets, let me shoot two shots!"
Of course there are no bullets.
Although the flintlock gun is an advanced weapon, there is a risk of exploding the barrel. No one here dared to put Zhu Jinghong in danger, so they simply did not prepare bullets.
At this time, Hou Jing shrank aside very wisely, so Lu Yuxin could only reply: "Master Thirteen, the projectile was really not found!"
"Yeah?"
Having been with this group of people for a long time, Zhu Jinghong could easily see that they were lying, but he didn't point it out clearly.
People also have difficulties. If they can find these things, they have already done a good job, so why should he be aggressive?
Putting down the gun in his hand, Zhu Jinghong opened another box. The gun inside was similar in shape to the previous one.
"Master Thirteen, this is also a self-propelled gun!"
After raising it and taking a look twice, Zhu Jinghong pulled the trigger, only to hear a "pop" sound... nothing happened.
So he opened other boxes. The guns inside were generally similar in shape and felt similar in hand.
It wasn't until he opened the fourth box that the structure of the gun inside was obviously different, especially the fact that there was a match rope inside the box.
Zhu Jinghong was very impressed by this thing. In his previous life, "Bibala" Zhao Jingzhong used it in the movie. At that time, he felt that it was not very easy to use.
From the fourth box, the guns at the back are all matchlock guns. According to Hou Jing, this is the main force of the current equipment.
The Beijing camp and local guard posts were equipped with matchlock guns in large numbers.
"Yu Xin..."
"Please give me your orders, Master Thirteen!"
"Where did you get these things?"
Lu Yuxin smiled and replied: "Thirteenth Master, I borrowed it from Jingying and Zhenjiang Guards!"
Since it is a loan, it must be repaid. Zhu Jinghong understood the meaning.
"Get some more ammunition, and let's go hunting out of the city sometime!"
"This..." Lu Yuxin looked confused.
Then he knelt down directly on the ground and replied: "Thirteenth Master, unless I refuse to disobey my order, the gun is really dangerous. If you are not careful, it will explode and hurt Thirteenth Master... I will never redeem myself if I die!"
With the current level of craftsmanship, it is really not a small probability event that the chamber will explode. Of course, if it does explode, you will only be injured. It is extremely rare to lose your life for this.
"Thirteenth Master, I really don't dare to trivialize this matter!" Hou Jing also begged for mercy.
Zhang Lin and others also followed suit. Seeing that he had really embarrassed them, Zhu Jinghong gave up the idea.
Having seen the musket, Zhu Jinghong had a new idea.
"Can you do it with the artillery in the army?"
Good guy, you still feel that guns are not enough, now you want to play with artillery again?
The explosion of the musket only hurts people, but the explosion of the artillery really kills people. Who of the people present dared to answer the question?
But as a time traveler, Zhu Jinghong is very clear about the status of firearms in the future. In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from following the footsteps of a certain Qing Dynasty, Zhu Jinghong certainly cares about these.
"Don't worry, I'm just taking a look, I will never let you fire!" Zhu Jinghong was good at tempting.
Then everyone fell into his trap and kept their heads down without answering, leaving Zhu Jinghong helpless.
"Don't talk, right... Then let's practice wrestling today!" Zhu Jinghong clenched his fists.
So I could practice wrestling with him. It was a one-sided beating. I had to stay in bed for two days after that practice.
Zhang Lin couldn't hold himself back and immediately replied: "Those people in Guoyong camp should have artillery!"
He and Zhu Jingyuan came to the two capitals of Jinling Jingying, from Yangwei Camp and Guoyong Camp respectively. Yangwei Camp was cavalry and Guoyong Camp was infantry.
The men from Yangwei Battalion were sent to the front line, while Guoyong Battalion remained in Yingtian and was stationed near the palace.
"Then let's go and take a look now!" Zhu Jinghong said solemnly.
Hou Jing immediately replied: "Guoyong camp has artillery, but they didn't bring it with them when they came here. Instead, they asked Jinling to purchase it on the spot. I'm afraid it hasn't arrived yet!"
"Exactly...how could I forget this!" Zhang Lin immediately made amends.
"You won't lie to me, right?" Zhu Jinghong looked suspicious.
"How dare I deceive the Thirteenth Master!" Hou Jing replied immediately.
However, before he could ask any more questions, he saw the eunuch Yu Hai running over and reporting that Young Master He wanted to see him.
"He Jiayan? Who is this person?" Hou Jing couldn't help but ask.
Yu Hai then explained: "He is the young master of Jinling's family!"
Sitting on a chair nearby, Zhu Jinghong picked up the teacup and said, "Bring him here!"
"yes!"
After a while, He Jiayan rushed over with a happy face and kowtowed directly to Zhu Jinghong.
"See Thirteenth Master!"
"No need to be polite, get up!"
"Thank you Thirteenth Master!"
"The things you sent last time were very good. Why did you come here this time?" Zhu Jinghong asked casually.
"The students are here this time to invite the Thirteenth Master to a banquet. Young talents from all over Jinling are all looking forward to seeing the Thirteenth Master!"
Almost all the young talents in Jinling have been offended by Zhu Jinghong. Will they look forward to entertaining him?
The so-called young talents would be more aptly described as Gaoliangwanhaakama.
"Yeah?"
He Jiayan smiled and said, "Please do me a favor, Master Thirteen!"
"Is your banquet serious?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile.
"It's serious, of course it's serious. The best opera troupe in Jinling, the best singer in Yingtian, I've invited them all!"
"The singers from Cuiyue Xuan, the famous actresses from Zhuyuefang, everything is delicious and fun!"
Hearing these words, Hou Jing and others on the side widened their eyes, feeling that He Jiayan was so thick-skinned that he could tell lies without blushing.
Of course, they also admired He Jiayan for being brave enough to take Zhu Jinghong to do this without fear of spreading the news to the capital.
"I've never heard of these... what kind of methods are they? Please tell me carefully!" Zhu Jinghong looked confused.
Hou Jing and others were even more surprised. Thirteenth Master is also good at telling lies. Who was the one who made trouble to go to Qinhuai River a few days ago?
After He Jiayan explained, Zhu Jinghong's face turned blank, and he looked around and said: "It sounds interesting, ha~"
Hou Jing and others laughed a few times and did not express their opinions on this.
After laughing twice awkwardly, Zhu Jinghong said happily: "Since you are so kind to invite me, it would be rude if I didn't go. So... let's go and have a look!"
Hearing Zhu Jinghong's agreement, He Jiayan suddenly beamed. He finally completed the task.
Others were silent, and Hou Jing, the leader of the team, could only say: "Thirteenth Master, leaving the palace is not a trivial matter, I'm afraid I have to report it to the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Jinghong stood up and said, "Of course I will tell Fourth Brother!"
He was not afraid of Zhu Jingyuan's disapproval, because as long as Gao Shuyan was around, the old guy would make the prince agree.
The birds are all good and the bows are hidden... Zhu Jinghong complained for himself.
But are the birds really gone? Zhu Jinghong disagreed.
What's more, there is an old saying that you can create opportunities even if you don't have a chance. Now Zhu Jinghong needs to wait for the opportunity.
