There are tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the entire martial arts arena, and there are also thousands of pro-soldiers and Jin Yiwei inside the martial arts arena.

Zhu Jianshen looked at the shotgun and was in a good mood. He even picked it up and tried it himself. However, for safety reasons at this time, the cannonballs and gunpowder were strictly guarded. The cannonballs could not be taken out until His Majesty the Emperor was sitting in a safe position on the high platform. come out.

This strictly has the outline of a modern musket.

The other officials were also looking at the young emperor holding a shotgun. At this time, Xu Youzhen, who was keen on making nice words, would certainly not miss the opportunity to flatter him.

"Your Majesty, you are so powerful with this shotgun that I can't even take my eyes away. In the past few days, when I have nothing to do in the capital, I have been watching the sky at night. The Emperor's Star is shining, and Beikou But it is extremely bleak. In the future, your majesty will definitely follow the example of Emperor Taizong Wen and Emperor Xuanzong, expedition to Mongolia, and achieve unparalleled achievements." Xu Youzhen said with a smile.

As soon as Xu Youzhen said these words, everyone couldn't help but look at Xu Youzhen.

The civil servants couldn't help but think that they had become bachelors, ministers, and censors of Zuodu, but their true nature of being a dog licker had not changed at all.

But Chen Ying, Guo Deng, Yang Hong and others were a little embarrassed because they had experienced an expedition to send the emperor to Mongolia.

After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he smiled softly and did not take these words to heart. When he was thinking about chatting with Jiang Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Li Xian, who was keen on pouring cold water on him, said: "Censor of Xudu, you You mentioned Emperor Taizongwen and our Emperor Xuanzong. I don’t know why, but you didn’t mention our Supreme Emperor. It hasn’t been a long time. Could it be that the Censor of Xudu forgot that there was also a person who spoke to the Supreme Emperor like this, The Supreme Emperor was asked to go on an expedition to Mongolia, but the person who made the suggestion at this time has long since disappeared. When the censor of Xudu has nothing to do, isn't he listening to music and illustrating willows? Is there any other time to go to night viewing? Celestial phenomena.”

After hearing what Li Xian said, Xu Youzhen's expression changed. She was careless and was caught by Li Xian.

However, in just a moment, Xu Youzhen returned to normal and began to change course: "I didn't know the moon when I was young, and I called it a white jade plate. I also doubted that the Yao mirror was flying in the blue clouds. Your Majesty is the British Lord. As Li Fuchen said, isn't it just like Like Li Bai when he was young, he used the Yao Tai mirror as a white jade plate." ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz

Xu Youzhen was mocking the Supreme Emperor and exalting Zhu Jianshen.

However, Li Xian couldn't accept this innuendo, because some words could only be innuendos. On the table, His Majesty the Emperor would lose face because he was talking about his father.

Li Xian snorted coldly and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhu Jianshen's hand: "I'm not here to argue. Don't steal the limelight of this firearm. After the martial arts performance is over, Li Fuchen can compete with Xu Duyu Shi, I can watch from the sidelines as the two debate Haoliang again."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After the two of them heard this, they hurriedly bowed their bodies and responded.

"Jiang Aiqing, I want to meet the owner of this shotgun."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuan hurriedly responded, and then called Liu Guanghe, who was at the outermost row, in.

Liu Guanghe was like a child, short and dark-skinned. After he was brought into the crowd by Jiang Yuan, he quickly knelt down and saluted: "The common people have seen your majesty and all of you. Long live your majesty." Long live."

"Pingsheng, let me tell you all about this bird gun and this general's bronze cannon." Zhu Jianshen said with a smile.

In the twelfth year of Chenghua's reign, Zhu Jianshen had seen Liu Guanghe's name on the drawings and also investigated some.

The Firearms Department of the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau where he worked was under the Jiri Baoyuan Bureau, but it was established when the Wu Kingdom was the predecessor of the Ming Dynasty.

It was three years earlier than the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Guanghe's ancestors were six generations of craftsmen from the Jiri Baoyuan Bureau. Liu Guanghe showed his talent when he was young. However, at this time, the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty had reached a bottleneck. In history, during the Zhengde period, with There was a collision in the West, and many new ideas began to be injected into artillery.

In this systematic firearms production environment, Liu Guanghe had no way to highlight his talent. They could only produce the three-eyed blunderbuss, an old-fashioned fire blunderbuss, invented during the Yongle period, but Zhu Jianshen was forcing the fire Qi Si began to change, not to rest on his laurels. Also because of the emperor's attention, Liu Guanghe came into the sight of Liu Bingtong, the doctor of Yu Heng Division in the capital, and began to pay attention to him and gave him authority.

In fact, as far as firearms are concerned, China also began to lose touch with the West at the end of the 17th century.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." After listening, Liu Guanghe began to tell, because beforehand, Liu Guanghe had been told that if His Majesty the Emperor summons you, you cannot touch the shotgun on the table with your hands. So he could only point to the shotgun on the table and start explaining.

Perhaps because of nervousness and speaking an authentic Nanjing dialect, Zhu Jianshen did not understand it very well. After Liu Guanghe finished speaking, Jiang Yuan asked the doctor Liu Bingtong to tell the story again, and also asked Zhu Jianshen to talk to these officials. gain detailed understanding.

The advantages are that the cost is cheap, the difficulty is low, the output is high, the shot can be far and fast...

Of course, its principle confused many officials, but Zhu Jianshen was shocked after listening to it, because during Liu Bingtong's speech, Liu Guanghe had already begun to study the shotgun bullets. After Zhu Jianshen listened, I secretly kept it in mind, thinking about when to summon Liu Guanghe and Liu Bingtong to have a good chat, so that I could give them some new ideas.

After the chat, Zhu Jianshen handed the shotgun in his hand to Zhu Yi and said: "Zhu Yi, you try the gun here."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Yi responded quickly after taking the shotgun.

Then Zhu Jianshen came to a high platform 400 meters away under the protection of officials and soldiers. In the center of the high platform, there was a large chair. Next to it, four palace maids stood, holding in their hands Holding jade elephants, incense burners and other objects...

After Zhu Jianshen sat down, he whispered to Zhang Bao beside him: "Let's get started."

Zhang Bao shouted, and then soldiers brought two wooden boxes filled with gunpowder and six cannonballs...

Under Liu Guanghe's guidance, Zhu Yi completed the filling, and then fired a shot at the wooden plate in front...

The thirteenth year of Chenghua began with the sound of gunfire.

Different from the 12th year of Chenghua, at the beginning of the 13th year of Chenghua, the imperial court made a big move and cracked down on gangsters in the entire city of Beijing.

The chief assistant of the cabinet personally took charge, and the second assistant assisted from the side. The commander of the Jinyi Guards, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, and the general judge all participated.

This can be described as a thunderous and rainy operation to eradicate bullies for the people.

As for this crackdown on gangsters, ordinary people have only a little knowledge of it. They know that there are more government officials patrolling the streets, and some very good people, for some reason, don’t dare to be arrogant anymore...
