A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Oh." Li Zhi was a little reluctant.

"How about I make a water gun for His Royal Highness King Jin?" Gu Qing comforted.

"What kind of gun is a water gun?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

"It's also a kind of gun." Gu Qing said to Li Zhi seriously, "It's safe, pollution-free, and very interesting to play with."

"Hearing you say that, I always feel that it's not a good thing." Li Zhi looked at Gu Qing, "You don't tease me, you feel uncomfortable all over."

Chapter 625 Who is aboveboard with you

"His Royal Highness King Jin, this is a villain's heart crossing a gentleman's belly." Gu Qing was serious, "In fact, water guns also have the fun of water guns."

"I'd better go to the academy and continue my classes." Li Zhi walked out of the house with his book bag on his back.

Li Zhi's mind is not on reading at all recently, he is not afraid that spring is coming and it will be another season of love, youth, how beautiful.

Gu Qing ate something casually, took a bunch of blueprints and flintlock guns, and headed for Daming Palace.

Li Junxian is still guarding here, Gu Qing stepped forward to say hello, "General Li."

"What are you doing here this time?" Li Junxian was very wary of Gu Qing, and after the last time, he realized that Gu Qing had a lot of people in his hands.

"I'm here to give a betrothal gift, uh! No." Gu Qing quickly changed his words, "I have a good thing in my hand, which is a new type of firearm. I present it to His Majesty. Do you want to try it?"

Looking at the flintlock gun in Gu Qing's hand, Li Junxian said, "No need."

"Try it." Gu Qing said to Li Junxian, "Easy to use and simple to use, it's easy to use anyway."

Holding a flintlock gun, Gu Qing aimed the gun at a crow parked not far away, aimed and fired with one shot, and the gunpowder smoke filled the air.

The shot crow fell to the ground.

Li Junxian who saw this scene also had a look of surprise, "Are you a hidden weapon?"

"It can be regarded as a hidden weapon." Gu Qing put away the flintlock gun and continued, "I really want a flintlock gun that can fire continuously, which can completely replace the crossbow arrows, but the craftsmanship cannot meet the requirements. General Li really Don't plan to try?"

"No need, I'll go in with you." Li Junxian said cautiously, "You used it on purpose to show me."

"No way." Gu Qing put away his gun and followed Li Junxian into Daming Palace.

In the Daming Palace, Li Er lived a comfortable life here, now Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong are practicing calligraphy while drinking wine, "My calligraphy is still not as good as Chu Suiliang."

"It's much better than my Cheng." Cheng Yaojin echoed.

"Do you know all these words?" Qin Qiong also smiled and talked to Cheng Yaojin.

"Your Majesty!" Li Junxian stepped forward to speak, "Gu Qing is here."

Li Er raised his eyes and said, "Gu Qing, have you made your stuff?"

"Yes, it's done." Gu Qing walked into the hall without hesitation and took out a flintlock gun. "This is the thing. It's an artifact for mid-range combat that hurts the enemy from a hundred meters away."

Li Er smiled, "Show me."

Gu Qing handed the flintlock to Li Er, "Now it's best to increase the time for loading ammunition, so that the frequency of firing can be increased during combat. A round of intensive firing can block the enemy's charge, and it can also surprise the enemy when attacking." Unexpectedly, the principle is similar to that of artillery, except that it is smaller and lighter.”

"Your Majesty." Cheng Yaojin was puzzled by what Gu Qing was holding, "Such a small thing can hurt people."

"Uncle Cheng, try it." Gu Qing laughed.

"Why, you still want to fight someone from Cheng." Cheng Yaojin looked at Gu Qing, "You are taller and bigger, and your courage is getting bigger and bigger."

There was something in Cheng Yaojin's words, both Li Er and Qin Qiong could hear it.

Li Er took the flintlock gun from Gu Qing's hand, "How do you use this thing?"

"It's not difficult." Gu Qing took Li Er out of Daming Palace, tried flintlock guns in the courtyard outside the palace, and helped Li Er load the ammunition, "Your Majesty, that's enough."

Li Er raised his gun and pointed it at a tree.

"Pull the trigger on your finger."

Hearing Gu Qing's words, Li Er pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

There was a gunshot, and with the vibration of the muzzle, Li Er did not hold the gun, and the flintlock fell to the ground, and the bullet hit nowhere.

Looking at the scene with some embarrassment, Gu Qing continued, "Let me show His Majesty how to use it."

Gu Qing reloaded the ammunition, Li Er watched from the side, and Wang Qin also stood aside.

"The movement is good." Cheng Yaojin stood aside and muttered.

Gu Qing pointed the gun at a tree.

"Oh!"

As soon as it was fired, the bullet shot into the tree, penetrating three points.

Cheng Yaojin immediately went up to look at it, "Boy Gu, what did you type out just now? Hidden weapon?!"

"It's kind of a hidden weapon." Gu Qing explained, "Actually, this is where it's so useful. Sometimes it can strike the enemy first when fighting the enemy. Of course, it's not as good as a sword at close range, and it's not as good as a crossbow at a long distance. , but by surprise, you can also gain a great advantage in the middle distance, as long as the improvement is good enough, it is not impossible to replace the crossbow."

Cheng Yaojin was still skeptical.

Gu Qing reloaded the gunpowder and handed it to Li Er, "Your Majesty, try again?"

Taking the gun again, Li Er pointed it at the tree after holding it firmly, and shot it smoothly into the wood. Qin Qiong thought about it and said, "This thing penetrates three points into a tree. If it hits a person, it is also a kind of injury to the enemy." Sharp weapon."

Wang Qin looked aside and remembered the investigation of Gu Qing. After Gu Qing walked out of Tongguan, he seemed to have encountered thieves. It is said that he was injured by a hidden weapon. This seems to be similar to the original situation, which means that Gu Qing knew about the manufacture of this thing The method, but has not been taken out?

Or does it mean that Gu Qing has a more powerful hidden weapon in his hand?However, the files on the investigation of Gu Qing had already been burned, so there was no need to continue the investigation, but Gu Qing must have more powerful firearms in his hands, Wang Qin was sure.

Li Er interrupted Wang Qin's thinking, "Take this thing to the Firearms Bureau, make a few thousand and give it to Jinwuwei first."

"Yes!" Wang Qin agreed in a low voice.

Cheng Yaojin was disgusted with the flintlock gun in Gu Qing's hand, "Your Majesty, I still think that swords are easy to use, what if this thing doesn't work? It's not as trustworthy as the sword in my hand."

At the beginning, no one knew that there was such a thing as artillery, but Li Er trusted Gu Qing's new firearms very much, just like explosives, landmines, grenades, Gu Qing's firearms have made a lot of contributions on the battlefield, it is better than nothing, maybe As Gu Qing said, this thing can replace the bow and crossbow.

What Cheng Yaojin said is also reasonable. Gu Qing also knows that the sudden fire gun he made today may become a weak existence in a normal war. Everything must have a beginning. The musket opens a new chapter in weapons. It is a very important step. With this firearm, coupled with the development in the next few years or decades, it is impossible to say that there will be better firearms.

"Uncle Cheng." Gu Qing said to Cheng Yaojin, "If the muskets in the future can seriously injure the enemy hundreds of meters away, and the lethality is even greater, it may change the current war situation."

Cheng Yaojin smiled disdainfully, "I still like my axe, and I hate guys who play tricks on the battlefield the most."
