Back at Ningguo Mansion, Jia Cong carried the box to the backyard.
When Yuanyang saw Jia Cong coming back, he hurriedly greeted him, stretched out his hand and took the box.
"The Duke is back. Hey, it's so heavy. What's in it?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "This is a new type of weapon. When we are not using it, you will keep it and lock it in a private vault. Apart from me, only Qingwen can use it."
"I understand, Lord Guo."
Yuanyang looked at it curiously for a while, but couldn't see anything, and followed Jia Cong into the house.
"My lord, did you eat Qingwen secretly last night?"
Jia Cong smiled when he heard this and said, "How did you know? Could it be that you secretly ran to the corner to listen?"
Yuanyang rolled her eyes at Jia Cong and said angrily: "Who has the time to listen to your corner? It's not Qingwen herself who shouted."
Jia Cong blinked when he heard this, a little confused as to what Qingwen was doing.
"Do you want everyone to know about this kind of thing? Where is Qingwen, where is she?"
Yuanyang chuckled and said, "Qingwen was just showing off. Now she is exchanging experiences with Pingping'er."
Hearing this, Jia Cong shook his head and said with a smile: "This girl Qingwen is quite studious. Why don't you study with them?"
Yuanyang glanced at Jia Cong resentfully and said, "Both of them were taken over by the Duke, so naturally they have done some research. I don't understand anything, so what are they studying?"
Jia Cong shrugged his nose and said, "It smells so strong of vinegar. Who overturned the vinegar jar?"
"Bah, I knew you didn't have any good words in your mouth."
Yuanyang's face turned slightly red when Jia Cong hit his mark, and he turned around and went to the inner room.
Jia Cong followed and said with a smile: "Yuanyang, if you are ready, I will take you in tonight. However, the ceremony cannot be held during this period. I'm afraid you will feel aggrieved."
Yuanyang secretly rejoiced when he heard this. He had been waiting for several years and finally waited for this man to speak. It was really not easy.
As for the ceremony and whatnot, forget it.
Although it is a bit regretful, if we wait any longer, it will take another two or three years.
To be honest, I can't wait any longer.
With Jia Cong's temperament, even if there is no ceremony, he will not treat himself badly, so he should seize this moment first.
"From the day I followed the Duke of Guo, I became the Duke of Guo's."
Jia Cong laughed and said, "Sister Yuanyang has been kept waiting for a long time."
"Bah, why do you sound so weird?"
Jia Cong picked up Yuanyang and put him on his lap.
"I have made Sister Yuanyang wait for so many years, and I will make it up to you."
Yuanyang said a little shyly: "It's still broad daylight, let people see it, what does it look like? Put me down quickly, and you can do whatever you want at night."
Jia Cong said with a smile: "This is what you said. You can do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to regret it."
······
Jia Cong called Qingwen and Chunxia Qiudong to the inner study.
Seeing the wooden box in Jia Cong's hand, Qingwen asked curiously: "My lord, what kind of treasure is in this box?"
Jia Cong placed the box on the table and pressed the switch to open it.
"This is a new type of musket. It is very powerful and can shoot seven to eight hundred meters away. However, the recoil is very strong and ordinary people cannot use it. We are strong and in good health, so we can use it.
You should first familiarize yourself with the structure of the firearm. Once you are proficient in operating it, and when I take a nap, I will take you out to practice with the firearm. This kind of firearm is too noisy and is not suitable for practice at home. "
Chunlan asked: "Master Guo, why do I look like a fire gun? Can I really hit a distance of seven to eight hundred meters?"
Jia Cong said: "The appearance looks similar, but the key parts are different, and the performance is even more different. If you fire the gun four or five times, the barrel will be very hot. If you continue to use it, it will easily explode. , very unsafe.
We can call this musket a sniper gun. No matter how many shots are fired, the chamber will not explode. It is very safe. Moreover, the shooting distance is several times that of a fire blunderbuss, and it is more powerful.
In front of the two armies, it can completely kill each other's generals. It is an essential weapon for sneak attacks, assassinations, and ambushes. "
Qingwen said in surprise: "Master Guo, after hearing what you said, this sniper gun is really very powerful. The key is that the shooting distance is too far. It can kill people from a long distance away. If one person can shoot one If so, who is still our opponent?"
Qiu Ju said with a confused look on her face: "If he is really so powerful, then what's the point of practicing martial arts? We'll be dead even if we get shot, right?"
After hearing this, several other people nodded repeatedly and looked at Jia Cong with worried faces.
The worries of several people are right. No matter how good your kung fu is, you will be knocked down by one shot. Once this kind of weapon comes out, people who know kung fu will have no advantage at all on the battlefield.
Jia Cong said: "Qiu Ju is right. Even if we are hit in vital parts, we still cannot escape the fate of being killed. If this kind of gun does not appear, with the skill of a few of us and two hundred guards, this The world is full of possibilities.
However, with this kind of weapon, we have no advantage. However, it is very difficult to make this kind of sniper gun. This is the only one we have so far. It is even more difficult to make eggshells. Moreover, it is in our own hands. Don't you Need to worry.
However, what Qingwen said is true. If only one person had one hand, he would be absolutely invincible. However, under the current conditions, this was simply not possible. Victory on the battlefield still required force. "
Xia Zhu said: "My lord, these advanced firearms are too powerful. We must keep them secret. We must not let this production method spread, otherwise it will also be a threat to us."
Several people nodded after hearing this. This thing is too powerful and must be in their own hands to feel at ease.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I think so too, and I do the same thing. I put confidentiality first. Don't worry about this. Even grenades are given to them as much as they are used. Never give them more, so as not to worry about it." It leaked out and was copied.
Only a few of us know this gun and we won't let anyone see it. We took the time to practice the gun skills so that it can be used as our trump card at critical moments. "
Next, while Jia Cong assembled the sniper gun, he explained the structure and operation method of the sniper gun to the five people.
In order to make it easier to carry, Jia Cong divided the sniper gun into two parts.
One part is the barrel, and the other part is the butt. There are several exquisite mechanisms on it, which are very convenient to assemble and disassemble.
I demonstrated it to several people several times and let them get started with it, and they quickly became familiar with it.
Then, he took out a few more bullets and taught them how to load them, allowing the five of them to take turns operating them.
Qingwen held a bullet, looked at it over and over for a while, and said, "Master Guo, is this ammunition? It would be much more convenient to have this kind of ammunition. Just put it in directly. The speed is many times faster. It’s not like a firecracker, where you have to tinker for a long time.”
Thinking of the era of hot weapons in later generations, the machine guns and heavy machine guns that could not stop firing were really powerful.
Today's technology is relatively backward in all aspects. Even if you have your own foresight and foresight to point out the direction for craftsmen, if you invest all your energy in research and development, it will not be possible in the short term. No matter how fast it is, it will take decades.
However, Jia Cong didn't want to come up with these things too quickly, he just wanted to get some trump cards and keep them in his own hands.
First, we should lay the foundation for the industrial foundation and popularize some basic technologies, processes and equipment. It will be much easier to do it later.
"The biggest difference between this kind of sniper gun and a firecracker is the bullet. In the future, as the technology develops, it can make a continuous-fire gun with dozens or hundreds of rounds of bullets, and it can shoot out continuously.
At that time, it is really powerful. The sword is useless, the armor is useless, and the cavalry has no advantage. "
"Ah, Mr. Guo, what you said is not true, is it?"
When several people heard this, they looked in disbelief.
If we really have that kind of weapon, it's hard to imagine what the future battlefield will look like?
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Of course it is true, but they are still too far away from us. They are unlikely to appear within a few decades at least. Even if they do appear, they will appear in our hands first, so you don't have to be too cautious." Worry."
After hearing what Jia Cong said, several people felt relieved. Otherwise, what's the point of practicing martial arts so hard?
Leave Qingwen and the other five in the study room to master the operation steps of the sniper gun.
Jia Cong left the study alone. When he came here just now, he saw Baozhu. When he saw Qingwen and the others following him, he just said hello and didn't say much.
But Jia Cong knew in his heart that it must be Qin Keqing who asked her to come to him.
Since I went to Wucheng Bingma Si Yamen as an errand, I spent less time at home during the day. I basically spent the evenings with Ping'er, and had much less time for private meetings with Qin Keqing.
In addition, during this period, there are many things to do, many things are rushed together, and there is even less time during the day.
Calculating carefully, I haven't been with Qin Keqing for several days.
Today, when I saw that I had come back early, I must have been unable to hold it in any longer, so I asked Baozhu to come find me.
Sure enough, as soon as he left the courtyard of the study, he saw Baozhu waiting in front.
Seeing Jia Cong come out, Baozhu stepped forward quickly and whispered: "My lord, our lady is waiting for you at home. Let the slave come and invite you over."
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I'll be there right away."
Soon, the two came to Qin Keqing's residence.
Seeing Jia Cong coming, Qin Keqing ran over directly, threw herself into Jia Cong's arms, and said with a resentful look: "Uncle Cong, have you forgotten about me? You haven't come to see me for so long. Everyone wants to Damn you."
Feeling the impact on his chest, Jia Cong reached out and hugged the little goblin. He was running so fast without fear of flattening his chest.
Feeling the beauty's enthusiasm, Jia Cong became a little excited, lowered his head and kissed her on the mouth.
It wasn't until Qin Keqing was almost out of breath that he let her go.
"I miss you too, but there are too many things going on outside these days, and they are all rushing together, so I really can't spare any time."
Qin Keqing took Jia Cong's arm and sat down on the bench.
"Uncle Cong, what have you been busy with outside lately? Ever since you met the assassin, you haven't been home every day. I'm so worried. Is there any other trouble outside?"
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Well, it is a bit troublesome, but it is not a big deal. It has basically been solved now. Don't worry blindly. I won't tell you just because I am afraid that you will worry.
You just need to live happily at home. I am enough for things outside. "
"Well, Uncle Cong is a great hero in people's hearts, and they like him very much."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "This little mouth is so sweet, couldn't it be covered with honey?"
Qin Keqing chuckled and said, "Uncle Cong, didn't you taste it just now? Don't you know whether it's honey?"
Looking at the smiling beauty in front of me, I couldn't help but take a second look.
This Qin Keqing is top-notch both in appearance and figure. In this world of Red Mansions, she is also standing at the top of the ceiling.
Coupled with the inherent charm aura, the whole person looks even more attractive.
Qin Keqing noticed Jia Cong's eyes falling on her chest, and couldn't help but smile to herself, and deliberately puffed out her chest.
"Uncle Cong, what are you looking at? Your mouth is watering."
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "It hurt my chest just now. I'm looking to see if it's flattened?"
Hearing this, Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said, "I'm a little worried too. How about Uncle Cong help me check."
"Okay, I have this idea too."
Jia Cong picked up Qin Keqing from the waist and strode towards the back room...
······
In the evening, Jia Cong returned to his yard refreshed.
Seeing Jia Cong come back, Yuanyang arranged for people to start serving food.
Today's meal is a bit special. There is a pot of turtle soup, a plate of venison, a plate of stir-fried kidneys, and more than a dozen skewers of roasted lamb kidneys. Many of the dishes are very filling.
I've been working too hard lately and really need to catch up.
This mandarin duck is so considerate. He knew that the room would be closed at night, so he made up for it in advance.
"Qingwen, go bring a jar of tiger bone wine and we'll drink some later."
Qingwen said with a smile: "Master Guo, didn't you say you don't need to make up for it? Now you do?"
This damn girl is really embarrassed to say that if she hadn't messed with it five or six times last night, there would be no need to make up for it.
"If you hadn't worked so hard last night, I really wouldn't have needed to make up for it."
Qingwen's face turned red and she spat: "You can't rely on me. I've only been with you for one night. During this time, you have been with sister Heping'er."
After hearing this, Ping'er glared at Qingwen and scolded with a smile: "Qingwen, you little hooves, why did I tell you to go and get it? There is so much nonsense."
Qingwen smiled and was not angry. She went out and brought back a jar of tiger bone wine and filled it for Jia Cong.
Jia Cong picked up the wine glass and said, "I'm going to consummate my marriage with Sister Yuanyang tonight. Let's have a drink together and congratulate us."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Yuanyang with envy and sent their blessings one after another.
"Congratulations to the Duke, and congratulations to Sister Yuanyang."
Yuanyang said with a shy look: "Thank you, thank you all."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "There is nothing else I can do, let's have a drink at the bar."
Yuanyang nodded, picked up the wine glass, and amidst the blessings of everyone, the two drank from each other.
Qingwen pouted and said, "Master, you still owe me a glass of wine."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Then I'll make up for you today. Come and have a drink together."
Qingwen happily drank a glass of wine with Jia Cong.
Ping'er smiled and said, "You three have had a glass of wine together, do you still want to enter the bridal chamber together?"
Jia Cong laughed and said, "I don't mind. Qingwen can come together if she wants, and sister Ping'er can come too. I would prefer if there are more people."
After saying that, he hugged the mandarin duck and went to the back room...
