Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

There were no explosive bombs in this era. Mu Tingye stared blankly at a group of white fish floating on the surface of the river.

Some of these fish have died, while others are still struggling. Their bodies were shattered by the shock waves and water currents of the explosion and scattered on the water surface, forming a strange and spectacular scene.

Mu Tingye and his men were stunned by this scene. They had never seen such a huge explosion power, nor had they ever imagined what kind of blow this weapon would bring to the enemy.

They originally thought that the attack was just an ordinary artillery bombardment, but now it seems to be a devastating disaster.

They couldn't help but doubt their choice. If such a powerful weapon was used against them, the consequences would be disastrous.

Mu Tingye's heart was filled with fear and awe.

"Haha, these fish can be considered as the appearance fee for the Chongming Navy." Wei Xiaobao said to Wang Liqiang while looking at the fish that were blown to death on the river.

With a long flute sound, the Dragon passed the Wusongkou and headed towards the sea.

As the end of the year was approaching, Wei Xiaobao temporarily stopped his search for his relatives, and the Dragon sailed towards the Ryukyu Kingdom with everyone singing all the way.

In the imperial study in the Forbidden City in the capital, the Minister of War He Yu stood aside, while Liu Fujun, who was delivering the letter, stood trembling below, with his head buried, not daring to look up at the emperor.

Kangxi sat on the dragon throne, frowning slightly, his eyes on the memorial in his hand. He had just finished reading the memorials from Prince Kang, Dai Zi and Nan Huairen, and felt a little confused and curious.

Putting down the memorial, Kangxi turned his attention to a Mauser rifle on the table. He carefully examined this strange weapon, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

"Is this weapon called a rifle really that powerful?" Kangxi asked softly, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Your Majesty, this spear is extremely powerful and the flesh cannot resist it." Liu Fujun answered cautiously, his voice trembling slightly.

Kangxi nodded, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes. He thought of the various weapons he had seen before, and couldn't help but compare them in his heart.

"What are the chances of this rifle succeeding against the white-armored soldiers of the Qing Dynasty?" Kangxi suddenly asked, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

The White Armored Soldiers were a heavy cavalry unit founded by Nurhaci himself. They wore heavy armor and held long spears, and were extremely powerful. The most famous general among them was Aobai, who was known as the most powerful general in the Qing Dynasty. Although this army was small in number, with only a few thousand people, they repeatedly achieved extraordinary feats on the battlefield, defeating the enemy with fewer troops and creating many miracles of war.

However, as time went on, Huang Taiji reformed and adjusted the White Armor Soldiers. He disbanded the White Armor Soldiers and assigned them to various Eight Banner Armies, letting them serve as guards. In addition, Huang Taiji incorporated the elite forces of the White Armor Soldiers into his own guard team and rewarded them to princes and nobles as guards. In this way, the White Armor Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, which were originally famous in the ancient military history of China, gradually lost their original combat effectiveness and prestige.

When Liu Fuyin heard Emperor Kangxi's question, his heart tightened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew very well how powerful the heavily armored soldiers were on the battlefield, but facing such unfamiliar and powerful hot weapons, he really couldn't be sure of the outcome. However, he didn't dare to express his concerns directly, for fear of angering the emperor.

"I don't know!" Liu Fuyin answered tremblingly, with a hint of panic in his voice.

Kangxi looked at Liu Fuyin's reaction and understood his concerns. He sighed softly, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky in the distance.

The sunlight shone through the window onto Kangxi, casting a shadow on his tall figure. He pondered for a moment, then slowly turned back to his desk.

"I want to try the power of this Mauser rifle myself." Kangxi said firmly, with a glimmer of determination in his eyes.

After hearing this, Liu Fuyin was shocked, but he still responded respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise! This way, I can personally verify the power of this spear."

So he said to the eunuch beside him: "Go to the imperial treasury and get a set of white armor, then set up a cross in the back garden and put on the armor. I want to personally verify whether the rifle is more powerful or the white armor is more powerful."

After hearing this, the eunuch immediately went to the imperial treasury to get the white armor and robe, and erected a cross pillar in the back garden according to Kangxi's instructions. Then he put the white armor on the cross pillar.

Emperor Kangxi was in a heavy mood and decided to go to the Imperial Garden to test the power of the rifle. A group of people came to the Imperial Garden in a mighty manner.

After entering the Imperial Garden, the guards quickly cleared the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs to ensure that no one interfered in the shooting area. They used ropes to pull up a cordon and prohibited anyone from approaching to ensure the safety of the emperor.

At the same time, Liu Fuyin, carrying the Mauser rifle, followed Kangxi into the Imperial Garden.

He imitated Zhou Asan's posture, lying down one hundred and fifty steps away, looking for a suitable stone to support himself, ready to show the emperor the powerful force of the rifle.

Kangxi frowned slightly when he saw Liu Fuyin choose to fire at such a long distance. This distance was almost twice the range of the fire guns equipped by the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, Liu Fuyin had asked Zhou Asan how to shoot before coming here, and tried shooting five times himself. Although he had some understanding of the basic operations, he still needed more practice for shooting accuracy.

At this moment, Liu Fuyin was lying on the ground, aiming at the target intently. However, after a long wait, he finally pulled the trigger, making a crisp gunshot. Unfortunately, the shot did not hit the battle robe a hundred meters away, but left it motionless.

Seeing this, Kangxi shook his head.

However, the gunshot caused panic among the concubines in the harem, who ran out of the room in panic, wondering what had happened.

When they learned that the emperor was playing with muskets in the imperial garden, they became very curious and rushed to watch the fun.

The first shot missed, and Liu Fuyin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. With so many people watching, he became even more panicked.

The more panicked you are when shooting with a rifle, the harder it is to hit the target. Look, the second shot went off target again and missed.

When Emperor Kangxi saw that both shots missed the target, his doubtful mood eased a little. He thought that this rifle was not very good. Although it had a long range, the accuracy was disappointing.

Then two more shots were fired in vain. With the last shot, Liu Fuyin seemed to have found some feeling, and this shot hit Bai Jia's waist.

When the guard took the white armor to look at it, there was a hole as big as a little finger on it. This heavy white armor was made of three layers of cowhide, and it was difficult for ordinary knives and arrows to pierce it. The rifle could leave a small hole in the heavy white armor, which was considered quite powerful.
