The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian hopes to develop a breech-loading gun, but his technical level is still limited. He is not a weapon expert.

The muskets in Shenji Camp are all shotguns, that is, matchlock guns. In Jia Lian's view, these are really low-end products. They are almost unusable in cloudy and rainy days, and they are easy to be damaged. At this time, France had already invented the flintlock gun, and he didn't think it was something that he couldn't get his hands on.

On the emperor's side, after hearing his description of the flintlock gun, he must be very much in favor of making that kind of gun. Although it was a bit difficult to create, Jia Lian knew very well in his heart that they never made a living by inventing and creating. As long as you can't see the difference, the products are the same as the real ones.

Mr. Dai is the real weapon expert. After careful study and dismantling a few guns, he has some idea in his heart. It is not a big problem to make a similar thing, but to make something better than the original one. , which is a little more complicated.

There are also Jia Lian's various ideas, according to this one today, and the whole one tomorrow. When the finished product comes out, Mr. Dai can be regarded as relieved, "How?"

Jia Lian is definitely a country bumpkin, just seeing whether it works or not, the main thing is that he has to use it and know that it is good. "This..." The result of the experiment was very unexpected.

Old Mr. Dai was quite proud, "How?"

Jia Lian nodded hurriedly, "It's really good." It doesn't need to be European at all. After adding some ideas of his own, the accuracy has also improved a lot. It is really a good thing.

When a good thing is made, the emperor must take a look at it and use it for a while, and the product that the emperor is satisfied with needs to be mass-produced.

This thing is definitely not cheap. It is nothing more than making a gun. The bigger expenditure is gunpowder. If the gun is made, if there is no bullet, it is definitely a waste product. It is not as lethal as a knife. They did not give the gun What kind of bayonet is installed on the jacket, and the bayonet can still be used without bullets.

The emperor wants to spend money to make guns, but the treasury is not particularly abundant, so the trouble suddenly escalates. Fortunately, the amount the emperor wants to make is not too large, and the minister of the household department is Jia Lian's father-in-law, so he must support it , things went smoothly.

After the gun was made, many people were quite disdainful. No one knew about the situation of the Shenji Camp. The reason why the four kings and eight princes were so arrogant was to a large extent because they were all military generals. There were soldiers in it at first.Later, there were changes in the court, and Hachiko's descendants were not as good as the next generation, so there were few people in the position, at most it was a general's title, and there was nothing left for others.

But the four princes are different. For them, the army and titles are the most important things to them. On the contrary, official positions are not important. After all these years, what they hold in their hands is still in their hands inside.

The reason why the emperor wanted to strengthen his own armed forces was because the opponent's armed forces were too strong, so he could only use other methods to achieve overwhelming victory.

There is also King Zhongshun, who has never been very peaceful. The soldiers in his hand were really given by the former emperor. The emperor died a lot of brain cells, and he didn't think of a way to get the soldiers back.

The things that Jia Lian and the others built, the emperor naturally equipped them in the Shenji Camp, especially the troops under Feng Ziying, which were specially trained by Feng Ziying after listening to Jia Lian's ideas. A group of people of the highest quality.The emperor knew all these things, and even took a special look at what kind of army it was. After reading it, he made up his mind that the gun must be given to these people.

Maybe at the beginning, everyone didn't have any idea about muskets, but after all, Shenji Camp was stuffed with all kinds of messy people. What kind of muskets Jia Lian and the others made was no longer a secret.What kind of power that was, it was quickly spread, and all of a sudden, the people who originally opposed it didn't say anything, and the four kings and eight men who had been watching the excitement spoke up.

Their purpose is very simple. Since they are good things, they must not be missing, especially the king of Nan'an County who has the most soldiers in his hands, and he clearly told the emperor, "The soldiers in my hands are also the soldiers of the Holy One. How can we treat them differently?" You have to equip me with a musket.

Hearing his shameless words, the emperor almost fainted with anger. Now you feel that the soldiers in your hands are also my soldiers, so why don't you hand them over? You keep the army in your hands, and you will know If you want something from me, can you be more shameless?

It's just that, and King Zhongshun also felt that something was wrong, "If the musket is so powerful, no one can resist it, right?" The soldiers given by his father, and the Zhen family got him money. Now because of Lin Ruhai, the Zhen family's money making is no longer as good as it used to be. Is it possible that even the soldiers will be killed in seconds?

The counselor next to him was only thinking about King Zhongshun being the emperor, and he was also very concerned about this kind of issue, but he didn't feel that things were really that terrible in his heart, "The musket is powerful, but how many muskets can there be? Dozens or hundreds of people, the prince doesn’t need to worry too much.”

King Zhongshun thought a little deeper, he still knew the emperor very well, just like the emperor knew him very well, "Today there will be dozens of people, and tomorrow there will be hundreds of people. It won't be long before the soldiers in the emperor's hands are all We can use the musket."

The counselor also felt terrible when he said this, "I'm afraid the Ministry of Households won't be able to come up with that much money."

"I heard that the king of Nan'an County has already gone to ask for a gun." King Zhongshun frowned slightly. He didn't like four kings and eight males very much. Kings of the opposite sex are born to make people feel irritable. Yes, and being so arrogant all day long is not flattering.

I only interacted with them more because they were also causing trouble for the emperor, but I don't know if the king of Nan'an will quit because of the gun in the emperor's hand?

"I'm afraid the Holy Majesty can't give it to him." The counselor said calmly. He was not worried about this kind of thing at all. He could feel that King Zhongshun was somewhat dissatisfied with the four kings and eight princes. Then the emperor would definitely only be more unhappy. Satisfied, how about giving them guns?It would be good if they didn't kill them all with one shot.

Of course, the king of Nan'an County didn't get what he wanted, and the reason given by the emperor was very simple. He didn't have any money. The Ministry of Households did so many things, and it was all saved. Where there is money, can we get it again? ?

The emperor felt that the reason he gave was absolutely aboveboard, but King Zhongshun could express in front of the King of Nan'an that it was not necessarily that he had no money, but that the emperor didn't want to give it to you, but why didn't he want to give it to you?That is not to trust you, you might as well cooperate with me sincerely, I will definitely trust you.

The king of Nan'an County is not a fool. If he is really a fool, it is impossible to keep the soldiers in his hands at such a time. It's just that his head is not smart enough. He clearly feels that the emperor is right They were dissatisfied with the military power in their hands. They clearly knew that the emperor didn't like the four kings and eight princes to form a group, but they still did this. They also connected with the four major families and made good friends with King Zhongshun.

Perhaps from their own point of view, it was because the emperor was not so benevolent and felt like he was going to deal with us. We had to form a group, and if we were stronger, the emperor would not be able to torment us.

But he happened to forget that maybe the emperor didn't think you were a threat at first, and he could let you live a lifetime of eating and drinking, but the desire for power in your heart is too big, even exceeding the scope allowed by the emperor. It's time to start with your head.

King Zhongshun has already thrown an olive branch several times. In fact, the four kings and eight princes have a closer relationship with King Zhongshun. They all feel that they are underappreciated now. It is a great contribution, and the home can also return to its former glory.

It's a pity that things like Conglongzhigong have always been small and exquisite. If you don't have to, you can stand in line casually, stand behind the prince or something, and stand behind the emperor's brother to support him to overthrow the emperor. There are not many successful examples.

Especially, when the emperor was not stupid, or even a little too shrewd, to act like this was to seek his own death.But even in such a dead end, they also wanted to survive.

The four major families haven't thought about participating in such matters. After all, in their opinion, there is a lady of the Xue family in the palace, who will produce a prince in the future. Wouldn't it be more legitimate to support the prince's rise to the throne than to support King Zhongshun to change his name.What's more, Wang Ziteng is the person with the clearest head, and he emphasized this point early on. Everyone can stand still. As for Xue Pan, his level is too limited, and no one can look up to him at all. It can be regarded as saving Wang Ziteng a lot of worry, otherwise, I am afraid that he would really have to worry about it thousands of miles away.

Jia Lian can guess a little bit about these things, but he doesn't care much about them. The musket has been researched, which is considered a very good achievement for him, but there is still more to do next.
