Zhu Cheng had a headache. When chatting with Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, he found that these two were quite old-fashioned. He had to know that he would take people to rob, but he didn't know how to talk about it.

It is a knife to stretch your head, and a knife to shrink your head is a knife; it is a good fortune, it is a disaster, it is a disaster. How can you say that you are also a young owner of a children's playground? How can you be afraid of two small employees?

While cheering himself up, Zhu Cheng walked into Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua's tent.

Xu Guangqi stared at Zhu Cheng with a bright look, and said, "Zhu Qianhu is very diligent and can't find anyone in the middle of the night."

Zhu Cheng was guilty and beat him up, saying, "I think these soldiers are too idle, so they have an emergency gathering, and are ready for trouble."

Xu Guangqi said: "What is an emergency gathering?"

Zhu Cheng said: "The so-called emergency gathering is to suddenly launch the gathering under unconventional circumstances to train the soldiers' quick response ability."

Xu Guangqi's eyes lit up and said, "Oh, this training is good. People who lead soldiers are most afraid of camp roars. Once camp roars occur, soldiers will kill each other, and millions of elite soldiers will disappear overnight. If you persist in this training for a long time, you can not only improve the soldiers' quick response ability, but also effectively prevent camp roars."

Zhu Cheng said: "The cause of the shaking of the camp is the high mental tension of the soldiers and the disharmony of the relationship between the soldiers. A single emergency training is only a treatment rather than a root cause. Enriching the soldiers' spiritual and cultural life is an effective measure to prevent and control the shaking of the camp. Didn't Mr. Xu ask me why I asked the emperor for a large number of eunuchs and palace maids? That is the cultural team I am preparing to train, referred to as the shaking of the soldiers. They will perform programs regularly for the soldiers to relax their tense nerves."

Xu Guangqi stood up from the table, bowed deeply to Zhu Cheng, and said, "When you hear your words, you are better than reading for ten years. In front of Lord Zhu, Xu did not dare to claim to be a soldier."

Zhu Cheng hurriedly supported Xu Guangqi and said, "What kind of virtue is the boy? How can he receive the great gift from the gentleman?"

Xu Guangqi said: "It's really a hero, no wonder the late emperor accepted you as his grandson. In the future, you will shine and become the white jade pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and the purple gold beam of the sea."

Zhu Chengjun's face turned slightly red. Although he was a little embarrassed, he felt really happy to be praised by the great people in history.

Sun Yuanhua coughed and said, "Mr. Zhu, the rifle you asked me to develop has been made and installed with a musket."

Zhu Cheng jumped up and said in a lost voice: "Really?"

Xu Guangqi pointed to a black thing on the coffee table and said, "Here, that's it."

Zhu Cheng grabbed this thing and looked at it for a long time. Sure enough, it was very similar to the rifles in later generations, except that they lacked the buttstock. Heavy weight, this musket was obviously larger and heavier than the guns in later generations. This is understandable. After all, the smelting technology of the Ming Dynasty could not be compared with that in later generations. There is only one way to enhance the strength of the gun barrel.

There are a few bullets next to the gun, and of course the bullets are much larger than those in later generations. There is no way. After all, the explosion effect of black gunpowder is not as large as the yellow gunpowder that comes later. To ensure the range, the gunpowder must be installed.

Seeing that the sky was already white outside, Zhu Cheng ignored the fatigue of not sleeping all night and said, "Let's go and try the musket."

Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua smiled at each other and followed Zhu Cheng out.

Zhu Cheng asked someone to put the target at 300 steps (one step in the Ming Dynasty is about 1.2 meters now). This is the range of the British longbow with the largest range in the world. Although it is not clear about the range of the Jiannu bow, it seems that it cannot exceed the range of the longbow.

Sun Yuanhua said: "Mr. Zhu doesn't need to put the target so far, it's far beyond the range of the bow and arrow."

Zhu Cheng said: "Our Ming Dynasty muskets will become a nightmare for all enemies in the world. We are only allowed to hit them, not them."

Sun Yuanhua laughed and said, "Yes, let them be anxious. If you can't beat them to death, you will also anger them to death."

Zhu Cheng asked the soldiers to drive away the idle people, especially behind and beside the target. Don’t hurt people when the stray bullets are at that time, that would be an unintentional disaster.

Zhu Cheng raised the gun with one hand, but found that he couldn't lift it up. Firstly, he was only 11 years old, and secondly, Sun Yuanhua built it as a rifle, which could not be operated with one hand.

Zhu Cheng raised his gun with both hands, aimed at the target, and fired several guns in succession. The smoke of gunfire gradually rose and gradually became heavy. Later, even Zhu Cheng's figure was invisible.

Zhu Youjian heard the deafening sound of guns and went out to see what happened, but was surprised to find that Zhu Cheng's figure gradually disappeared from the smoke of gunpowder. He said in surprise: "I also said I don't know how to do immortal arts, so I'll move all the dark clouds from the sky."

He shouted at the dusty place, "Brother Cheng, please take over the magical powers."

Zhu Cheng coughed and walked out of the smoke. While rubbing his eyes, he said, "The musket is good, but the smoke is too big."

Zhu Youjian ran forward, hugged Zhu Cheng's arm happily, and said, "Brother Cheng is lying to others again. You obviously know the magic of immortality."

Zhu Cheng shook the musket in his hand and said, "It's not a magic trick, it's science. That smoke is the smoke that rises after the musket fires."

Zhu Youjian pouted and said, "That's so boring."

Zhu Cheng said: "Don't underestimate this. After being equipped with the entire army, you can eliminate the stubborn bandits who are enemies of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youjian said happily: "Then let's report this good news to the emperor brother."

At this moment, the soldier pulled out the target and carried it back.

Everyone looked at it carefully and found that there were several teacup holes on the target, and the half-inch thick wooden board had already penetrated. Everyone was shocked when they saw it.

Xu Guangqi burst into tears and said, "With this powerful weapon, why worry about the immortality of Jiannu."

Sun Yuanhua said: "I want to present the design drawings of the musket to the Ministry of War, so that they can speed up the production and equip the entire army."

Zhu Cheng looked solemn and said to Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua: "Two sirs, I have different opinions. Let's go back to the tent to discuss in detail. A Jian, come together."

After entering the tent, Zhu Cheng said: "I think the manufacturing drawings of this musket must be kept confidential and must not be known to the court."

The three of them were shocked and asked in unison: "Why?"

Zhu Cheng said: "Do you know the situation in Liaodong?"

Xu Guangqi said: "It has been corrupt."

Zhu Cheng said: "Do you know why Liaodong has evolved into today's situation?"

Xu Guangqi said: "The commander did not know the soldiers, like Yang Hao and others, and commanded randomly, resulting in the Ming soldiers being afraid of the enemy like tigers."

Zhu Cheng shook his head and said, "Yes, not. The thief chief Nuer scolded the thirteen pairs of armor to start his business. It would be easy to destroy him. If Li Chengliang had not raised the thief, how could it have become today's situation? Now the generals of Liaodong are still raising the thief. Not only that, in Liaodong, there are also troops who have rebelled on Jiannu's side in an established manner. Tong Yangxing, Ning Wan, Li Yongfang is the representative figure among them. If our muskets fall into their hands..."

Sun Yuanhua shivered and said, "The Ming Dynasty is in danger!"

Xu Guangqi said: "Is such an advanced weapon in vain?"

Zhu Cheng said: "Of course not, we need to equip a unit that the Ming Dynasty can trust."

Xu Guangqi was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Do you have the intention of being disobedient?"

Zhu Cheng turned to the capital and knelt down and swore, "My minister Zhu Cheng was unwilling to abandon Emperor Shenzong and promoted him to the grassroots. The emperor now recognizes me as his brother, and Zhu Youjian recognizes me as his brother, and he fulfills his honor as his ministers. I will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations and defend the emperor."

Zhu Youjian also knelt down and swore: "I will work hard to defend the great mountains and rivers of the emperor for the rest of my life."

When Xu Guangqi saw the two of them swear, he thought of the relationship between Emperor Tianqi and Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian, and his doubts disappeared.

Zhu Cheng said: "Mr. Xu, should you take out the Bible?"

Xu Guangqi said: "Why is this?"

Zhu Cheng said: "When people who hear the faithful, they put their hands on the Bible and swear as the most important oath. I want to confirm that Mr. Xu will not disclose the news of the musket."

Xu Guangqi laughed loudly, picked up the curtain, and went out to get the Bible.

Zhu Cheng said to Sun Yuanhua again: "Mr. Sun, it is too much to install a musket after rifling. Please swear that you will never leak a single bit of the musket at any time."

Sun Yuanhua pondered for a long time and said, "As long as Lord Zhu is loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, I, Sun Yuanhua, will never disclose any news about installing a musket after the rifle before I get the approval of the Lord."

After solving the problem of muskets, Zhu Cheng quickly rested. At night, there were gold, silver and treasures from Duke Dingguo waiting for him to move.
