The craftsmen in the building still did not make much progress in machinery, so Xiong Jing gradually defined the flintlock rifle as "in lifetime". Because of this reason, he even had the idea of ​​opening the development of flintlock rifle.

The craftsmen of the Mansion were the remnants of the Chu State after the migration of the eastward state fifty years ago, and their skills were obviously not comparable to those of the Chu State fifty years ago. Considering this, he had the idea of ​​releasing the development of flintlock rifles, especially the mechanism design of the bolt.

Chu State has various carbon content boiling steels. He thought that such steel could be made into the leaf springs needed for flintlock bolts. However, the painful thing is that the flintlock bolts made according to his description is difficult to get angry. The bolts of these two flintlock short guns are not made in the style described before, but use an extremely complex structure. Because of this, the weight of the bolt exceeds five kilograms, and the weight of the real flintlock short (hand) gun should be about one kilogram or even less.

Such a heavy bolt makes it impossible for flintlock rifles to appear on the battlefield, especially if the bolts cannot fire continuously. The firing rate of the first shot point is 80%, while the second shot is only half, and the third shot and the fourth shot are less than 30%.

In fact, many people will ignore that when the flintlock rifles were popular in Western countries, the Qing army did not have a system, and even a small-scale flintlock rifle, and soldiers used flintlock rifles, namely, shotguns. Kangxi's self-propelled musket was not a flintlock rifle, but a spring bolt. This was not just a reason for the leaf spring, but more of a reason for gunpowder.

The most important saltpeter in gunpowder is not pure, which is the first technical bottleneck; the second technical bottleneck is equivalent to the sulfur resource bottleneck, that is, after mastering this technology, there is no need to add sulfur to the gunpowder. When sulfur is not needed to add sulfur to the gunpowder, the technical bottleneck of the flintlock gun will be completely solved.

Because of these two technical bottlenecks, even if the Qing army equipped flintlock rifles native to the West, they would use their previous shotguns because they often silenced fire. After all, it was impossible to even import the fire medicine together. When the Qing Dynasty gradually realized this problem, the fire hat had been out for a long time. Therefore, at that time, Ding Shoucun, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, known as the "North and South Ding", wrote the "Western Self-Projecting Musket Making Method", he no longer looked down on the flintlock rifle. He was interested in the "Copper Hat Gunpowder Method".

The problems Xiong Jing faces now are just like those faced by the Qing Dynasty after the Opium War. Unfortunately, he did not introduce the "Copper Hat Gunpowder Method" and no one could write the "Western Self-Projecting Musket Making Method". He could only spin on the mesh rope gun. It would be better to use bows and arrows. The thirty divisions of the Chu army all had enough archers, and the old Yingnanyang did not have enough archers, but how could these new Chu army give them a mesh rope gun?

In the wilderness of Yunmengze, Mi Xuan, who was a woman for the first time, was taken in Xiong Jing's arms and became addicted to shooting. She continued until the four flintlock guns she brought were completely unable to get angry. She dropped the guns and turned around and hugged the man to seek credit: "I am familiar with it, and can kill the enemy."

"Kill the enemy?" Xiong Jing shook his head. How could he let Mi Xuan kill the enemy? "The musket gives you self-defense, not killing the enemy."

Xiong Jing was stunned when Mi Xuan said it. The joy of marriage suddenly faded away. She gradually recalled the reality she was in. It is probably a different meaning for men to teach themselves to use muskets.

The woman frowned slightly, and Xiong Jing comforted her, "It won't be too long for legitimate reasons, I feel wronged."

"No, Hyun'er is willing." Mi Xuan said anxiously. "Xiong'er is willing to die."

"You dare!" Xiong Jing's expression was fierce, "Even if you go down to the Huangquan, I will rob you back." This was too unlucky, and he stroked her back, "You can't die in the future. If you give birth to a child, the mother will see the child..."

Xiong Jing did not dare to say that his mother was like this, which was unfilial. Although he was given the title and took power, his mother was still the queen in the harem. Ying Nan was the queen, so Ying Nan would make the decision in the future. Not allowing Mi Xuan to catch this muddy water was his decision.

Of course, he could also surrender. He surrendered to the group of people behind his mother. Once he surrendered to the Chu Palace, he would be safe. As long as he made Yingnan's son the crown prince, he and Mi Xuan would be as loving as he could. However, based on his responsibilities to the Chu State and the Chu people, he would never surrender. Not only did he not surrender, he would fight with them to the end.

It was very mysterious. On several occasions, occasionally, he vaguely felt his destiny and the fate of Chu. Unfortunately, this feeling was very hazy, like... as hazy as morning fog. It was a very bad feeling, and it was very bad result. The group of people behind the mother were dragging him in a bad direction. He didn't want to drag him even if he didn't want to, and he would drag him even if he resisted. He completely believed that in this direction, he and Chu would face a desperate situation one day.

"If this place is not good, you can change it to another place." Xiong Jing sighed in his heart. After the failure of the battle to enter the pass, he felt increasingly unable to resist fate.

"It's very good here." The sun was about to set, and Mi Xuan looked at the setting sun and Yi snuggled in his arms.

"Let Mi Tong come here." Xiong Jing said. "This is Yangxian fiefdom, Yangxian has no connection with them..."

"Who?" Xiong Jing finally showed a hint of breath and looked at Sunset Mi Xuan looking up at him. "Who are they?"

"They..." Politics are always complicated, and Xiong Jing can't explain the problem clearly in a few words.

"Instead of running around like this, Xuan'er would rather enter the palace to be a concubine." Mi Xuan stroked Xiong Jing's brow, trying to smooth out the wrinkles on it. Her efforts were futile. Xiong Jing's brows were not only deep, but also frowned very hard, and she was not calm.

"No!" Xiong Jing almost didn't notice what his wife's hand was doing, but just said no.

"Why?" Mi Xuan smiled, and saw Xiong Jing still frowned, and said again: "Xiong'er doesn't seek fame, just doesn't want the king to worry about running around."

"I would rather worry about running around than you are in a dangerous place." Xiong Jing smiled bitterly. "The Han people and Wei people are sinister, but the Han people and Wei people are not fierce; the Qin people are fierce, but if the Qin people are not clever, they are not cunning; the Qi people are cunning, but the Qi people are virtuous, but they are not willing to do anything miserable. Only the Zhao people and the Zhao people..."

"How about Zhao people, how about Zhao girls?" Mi Xuan asked, she never knew that people from all over the world had such characteristics.

"You marry into the Chu Palace, Ying Nan gave you wine in the name of his mother. Can you drink it?" Xiong Jing changed his helpless expression.

"In the name of mother queen?" Mi Xuan was puzzled, but at this time she thought of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji of Qin. "I..."

"If my mother personally gives you wine, will you drink it?" Xiong Jing asked again. This was the limit of words.

"The elders dare not refuse. This is a drink." Mi Xuan said seriously, not paying attention to Xiong Jing's gaze dimmed, and then there was a long silence.

Only then did Mi Xuan understand who her husband was considering. Ying Nan and Ji Yu, these people were not obstacles. The real obstacle was the Empress Dowager Zhao Concubine. The son was hidden for his father. Even if Zhao Concubine poisoned him, the man would hide it for Concubine Zhao, otherwise he would be unfilial.

Will Concubine Zhao kill herself? Mi Xuan didn't know. She didn't know much about the political struggle behind this, but the cruelty of the Qin Palace made her feel scared. In the second year after Empress Dowager Xia's death, Lao Ai informed Chang'an Jun Chengqi to rebel, Cheng Qi destroyed Zhao, and Lao Ai was granted the title of Changxinhou for his merits. On the day when Lao Ai was granted title, his aunt scolded Zhao Ji in Huayang Palace, and then was unhappy all year long. It was not until Lao Ai also planned to rebel that his aunt was happy again and scolded Lao Ai and Zhao Ji for dying.

Concubine Zhao's current role is Qin Palace's aunt, and her own role should be Zhao Ji. Thinking of this, Mi Xuan suddenly felt cold, but fortunately Xiong Jing had already hugged her. The two of them rode on horses and walked towards Linzeli, tens of miles away.

When Linzeli was almost at the lantern, Jiang touched and walked out of the yard. She first looked at the Lidian family, and then walked to Lumen hesitantly. Because of the wedding banquet the day before yesterday, the prison gate smiled enthusiastically at her, and she also smiled calmly. After she left the door, the prison gate quickly came out of the door room, and she was a little puzzled when she saw her leaving.

If it were before, he would have stopped her and asked her what was going on, and it would have been dark, and according to Qin's rule, he would not be able to leave the country. However, now Nanjun is not under the rule of Qin, and the people in the country are extremely free to enter and exit, so he rarely does this.

Maybe Xinfu told her to do something. The prison gate said silently in his heart and walked into the door room quickly.

The prison gate was silently reciting this, and Xiong Jing, who had returned home after dark, was a little crazy. Before leaving the door, he told Jiang to boil hot water. He didn't mention hot water when he got home, there was not even a lamp or a ghost, and the room was cold.

"That little slave escaped!" After all, he was a newly bought slave. He ran away as soon as he was not at home. Xiong Jing, who was on fire, was angry.

"Escape?" Mi Xuan was also surprised. "Where can they escape?"

"I don't know." Buying female slaves is used to do housework. Now the female slave has run away. Xiong Jing doesn't know how to do housework. Mi Xuan wants to do housework but is stopped by him. "You can go to Lidian's house."

"Go to the Lidian family?" Mi Xuan did not object. She already had some good feelings for Lidian's wife.

"The slaves fled and want to report to the official." Xiong Jing said so. In fact, he wanted to go to the Lidian family for free, and then ask the slaves from Lidian to help him burn the fire and warm the house. He never thought that he had reported to the Lidian official, and Jiang ran out to report to the official.

After dark, a woman knocked on the door outside the city and shouted to report to the official. The soldiers cursed a few times and had to open the door. In the palace of the commander, Jiang, who was kneeling on the ground, took out the bag from her arms and said loudly: "The slave told the master to steal, please make sure the government is probing, please make sure the government is probing!"

"What's this?" Jiang knelt on the ground. What was sitting on the chairman was not the fish slaughtered in the slaughter, but the Shiba.

"This is the thing that the master stole." Jiang took out a string of jade ornaments from the bag. Even if the hall was dark, the jade ornaments were dazzling. Seeing such a large string of jade, Yi Shibo, who was originally dealing with the thoughts, changed color in an instant. This was definitely not an ordinary person's thing, but a noble person's thing.

"What did you see your master stealing with your own eyes?" The Shi Shi asked in surprise.
