Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Not only is the territory occupied by Dongyao getting smaller and smaller, but their living space has been squeezed into a few areas such as Shengjing.Just a matter of time.

Jingshi Qianqing Palace

"Your Majesty, Zhao Shizhen, Minister of Industry, is asking to see you."

"Call him in."

Hearing the eunuch's report, Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian, who was reading the document, put down the document in his hand and immediately let Zhao Shizhen come in.

Zhao Shizhen is a busy man, and he is also responsible for the research and development of firearms and warships. Zhu Youjian knew that he must have something to ask for a meeting.

Soon, Zhao Shizhen entered the imperial study room under the leadership of the eunuch, and saw Zhu Youjian hurriedly paying respects.

"Minister, Zhao Shizhen sees His Majesty."

Zhu Youjian smiled all over his face, stood up and helped Zhao Shizhen:

"Ai Qing is not polite, why do you have time to see me today, I don't know whether to report good news or bad news?"

Zhao Shizhen was a little flattered, and hurriedly replied:

"Your Majesty, it's a happy event. It's a great event. We have developed a rifled flintlock gun and an oval bullet. It only takes five or six breaths to reload the bullet. The range and accuracy have been greatly improved. There is also a The three-barrel flintlock is not very mature yet, but it can be equipped in small quantities and is mainly used for special operations troops."

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard that:

"This should be the most advanced flintlock gun in the world. Try the gun immediately to see how it works. If there is no problem, mass-produce it immediately. After mass production, I will reward your two wives and five maids. Add a mansion."

Zhao Shizhen once developed a five-round flintlock gun in history, which was definitely the top and most advanced gun at the time, but it was not valued by the court because it was developed at its own expense and was later abandoned.

As a god-level craftsman, he doesn't care how much the court rewards him, what he cares most is the recognition and support of his superiors for his ability.

I thought that the bursting gun would never have a chance to be developed again, but I didn't expect that after being summoned, his lifelong long-cherished wish would be fulfilled, and the emperor would reward his wife's servant and the mansion, what a great favor.

Zhao Shizhen immediately bowed down in front of Zhu Youjian, with tears in his eyes:

"His Majesty Xie believes that Weichen has tested many times, and the quality is absolutely no problem. Now we need to find some soldiers with good marksmanship and let them test the stability and reliability of the gun."

Zhu Youjian nodded happily:

"Come on, pass on Yuhuatian."

"obey"

Soon Yuhuatian entered the imperial study room:

"The governor of the West Plant, Yuhuatian, is meeting with the emperor."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:

"Excuse me, the 20 sharpshooters I asked you to find, have you found them now?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the sharpshooters have assembled and are ready to be dispatched by the emperor at any time."

Zhu Youjian:

"Okay, take them to the Ministry of Industry to pick up the guns immediately, and return to the training ground to test the guns. I will inspect them myself,"

Yuhuatian:

"obey"

Zhu Youjian still has some understanding of the development history of rifles. The most famous one is a new type of rifle invented by Patrick Ferguson in 1776.

This gun has a range of 200 yards and an average of 46 shots per minute. This is indeed a huge improvement over the ordinary rifles that can only fire once per minute and have a range of 50 yards.

Ferguson engraved a spiral pattern in the barrel, which is the rifling line, so that the fired bullet rotates forward at high speed, increasing the flight stability, range and penetration of the bullet.

Later, a scale was installed on the gun to adjust the distance and aim, which improved the shooting hit rate.

The principle of the rifled gun mentioned by Zhao Shizhen is very similar to the principle of the new rifle. If that is the case, the history of rifle development will be advanced by Zhao Shizhen by more than 100 years.

Of course, there is a premise here. Zhu Youjian gave him some blueprints for making new types of rifles, which was of great help and inspiration to Zhao Shizhen.

Even so, the industrial base was quite limited at that time, and it was still difficult to make it.

Chapter 192 The New Type of Guns Come Out

After Zhao Shizhen Yuhuatian withdrew from the imperial study.

Zhu Youjian turned his head to look at Ah Qing, the Yue Nv Jian who was standing behind him.

No matter where Zhu Youjian is, as his personal bodyguard, Ah Qing will always stand behind him with the Yue Nu Sword in his arms. Of course, when Zhu Youjian and Qinglian play dragons and phoenixes, Ah Qing will avoid them.

"Ah Qing, you also need to practice marksmanship. I am going to equip you with a gun. The current situation has changed a lot from before. The appearance of muskets has a fatal impact on pure force."

Ah Qing bowed slightly, and gave Zhu Youjian a blessing:

"My lord is right, and Ah Qing also sees it very clearly. After decades of hard training, it is not as good as ordinary people pulling the trigger lightly. This era is completely different from ours. It has advanced by more than a few hundred years."

Zhu Youjian nodded:

"So, for my safety, and for your own safety, starting today, you use this."

As Zhu Youjian spoke, an armed belt appeared in his hand, and he wrapped it around Ah Qing's waist with his own hands. During this period, a scent of virginity wafted into Zhu Youjian's nose, causing ripples in his heart.

"Ah Qing, how about staying with me at night?"

Ah Qing's pretty face suddenly turned red, and said shyly:

"Ah Qing is the lord's servant. As long as the lord is willing, Ah Qing will accompany you at any time."

"But……"

As Zhu Youjian said, he cupped Ah Qing's pretty face with both hands:

"I will never treat you as domestic slaves. Your status is lower than mine, but above all officials. However, as a summoner, I cannot summon you into the harem, do you know?"

"My lord, Ah Qing does not want to enter the palace, as long as I can protect you by your side, that is Ah Qing's greatest wish."

While speaking, the armed belt was tied around Ah Qing's waist, followed by two holsters. Later, Zhu Youjian handed over two short flintlock guns, slightly longer than our current pistols.

Of course, it is manufactured by the system. Each gun contains three bullets. This kind of advanced gun has strict exchange restrictions.

The total number cannot exceed ten, each gun is worth a thousand points, which is equivalent to 1 taels of silver, and one point for each bullet is equivalent to ten taels of silver.

Not only are guns quite expensive, but the quantity is limited, which makes Zhu Youjian very speechless. Fortunately, there is no limit to bullets.

Recently, Zhu Youjian discovered that after the situation in Ming Dynasty gradually stabilized, the value of the prizes exchanged by the system had multiplied countless times, and it was almost impossible to buy anything, and the prices were almost sky-high.
