Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

The moonlight is just right, but in the severe winter, there are snowflakes in the sky.

Ying Zigao wrapped himself in a fur coat and galloped his horse.

The horse's hooves stepped on the snowflakes, splashing a wave of filth.

Pure white snowflakes mixed with loess.

Following the route of Zheng He and his party, Ying Zigao ran towards Jiangnan.

Early the next morning, Ying Zigao came to an inn.

"boss!"

Ying Zigao threw out some money and said, "Find a room."

"Eh! Good!"

After arriving in the guest room, Ying Zigao rested for a while and set off again.

In the evening, Ying Zigao passed by a small town and stayed again.

After a few days of this, Ying Zigao found that there was no snow around, and instead, it was a withered yellow.

Presumably, I don't want to be away from Jiangnan anymore.

After arriving in Jiangnan, head east all the way to Fujian.

It is estimated that it will take at least half a month to arrive.

Of course, this is something that Ying Zigao can only do day and night.

Although Ying Zigao has been on the road for the past few days, he also conceived the circle of the musket in his mind in his spare time.

During the Qin Dynasty, there was already black powder. Although this kind of black powder was extremely unstable, it should not be a big problem to make it into a musket.

But the problem is, black powder produces violent smoke.

For the time being, Ying Zigao couldn't solve the problem of thick smoke.

However, I thought that during the Qin Dynasty, when Xu Fu and other alchemists were refining alchemy, black powder was the most commonly used. These people should have a way to improve black powder and refine it into smokeless gunpowder.

If it is possible to manufacture smokeless gunpowder, then everything will be much simpler.

many days later...

Around Ying Zigao, a scene of revival of all things emerged.

Obviously, he has reached Jiangnan.

Compared with Xianyang, the air here is much better.

There is no white snow all over the sky, no loess that makes people feel bad.

Instead, it was green.

Birds sang cheerful music in the forest, and there were even cicadas singing around.

Although there is still a slight chill in the air, at least, from a visual point of view, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is still much more beautiful.

The only fly in the ointment is that the air here is extremely humid, and along the way, I was sweating profusely.

After entering Jiangnan, Ying Zigao still felt very cold.

When he came to an inn, Ying Zigao took out banknotes and continued to hand-paint the design drawings of muskets.

This musket will be a great weapon for the Great Qin State to conquer the West!
Ying Zigao thought that he had to fully design the musket before Zheng He sailed to the west.

But it's not easy.

Sitting in the guest room, Ying Zigao felt a little headache.

He squeezed his temples, looking at the waste manuscripts in his hand, feeling a little helpless.

"Although the principle of this musket is not complicated, it is still quite difficult to manufacture it using current technological means!"

Ying Zigao said helplessly to himself.

This time!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door!

Ying Zigao immediately became alert!
Holding the sword in his hand, he stared at the door calmly.

Before he could speak, he heard a woman's voice outside the door.

"I have seen the design drawings of the younger generation. I am very interested in it. Can you open the door, you and I, and study it carefully?"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao was stunned.

Apart from Liu Bowen and Feng Quji, only one woman, Dongfang Bubai, knew about his leaving the palace.

Who is the woman outside this door?
Also, how would she know about her design drawings?
Who is it?

Thinking of this, Ying Zigao decided to open the door first and make a decision after seeing the true face.

Therefore, Ying Zigao stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Please come in."

Then, only a squeak was heard.

A plain-looking woman walked in.

The woman was wearing a very ordinary linen dress, she looked like a girl from an ordinary family.

There was no trace of makeup on her face, which made Ying Zigao even more convinced that this woman must be from an ordinary family.

The woman was in her early twenties, which was considered an older unmarried woman in the Qin Dynasty.

Upon careful observation, although the woman is not amazing, her skin is average, and there are some small freckles on her face, but her facial features are very delicate.

It can be seen that if you pay attention to maintenance, you must be a beauty.

But it's a pity that in this day and age, women from ordinary households, with standard facial features and skin that hasn't been maintained, still can't compare with noble women.

After the woman entered the room, she hastily closed the door and said, "Young student, I..."

"Who do you call a junior? How old are you?"

Ying Zigao said solemnly;

When the woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled awkwardly and said, "I, I must be older than you. Look at you, thin-skinned, I am 22 years old this year."

"Are you 22? Are you still married at 22?"

Ying Zi gave the woman a high-pitched look, then slowly sat on the chair, staring at his design drawings carefully.

When the woman heard this, she immediately blushed and said, "Who said that women must marry?"

"If you don't marry, are you worthy of your parents?"

Although Ying Zigao is not a traditional person, in this day and age, after all, people have that tradition.

I'm already 22, and I'm still not married. If word spreads, the neighbors in the neighborhood will definitely gossip.

But when the woman heard it, she was not happy at that time.

She was about to say something, but finally shook her head and said, "Oh! It doesn't matter!"

After saying that, the woman simply walked up to Ying Zigao, and said, "Master, just now you went to the latrine, I was curious, so I secretly came to your room to have a look, your design is very exquisite!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao became more and more curious about the woman in front of him.

You know, in this day and age, women haven't even read a book, and don't know a single word. How long has it been since I promoted education?Besides, this woman is past the age of school, how could she understand the blueprint she drew?
What's more, even those who have gone to school can't understand this drawing, let alone this one who hasn't gone to school.

"I guess, this thing is a weapon, right?"

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, Ying Zigao's eyes immediately became slits!
He looked at the woman carefully, and slowly said: "Who are you?"

"Me? Who am I? I'm the cook who works in this inn, young man, let me tell you! Your design is indeed exquisite, but...it's a bit too advanced. With the current Technology simply cannot create such a precise chamber.”

"Chamber? You know all about this?"

Ying Zigao became even more curious.

"Isn't it marked on your paper? Look, you wrote it yourself."

"You can still read?"

Ying Zigao looked at the woman with great interest.

The woman said proudly: "That's right! Although the little girl... No, although the older sister is a girl, but she also came here when she was a child. When she was young, Shi Chang went to eavesdrop on Mr. How many books have you read?"
