    Before Zhu Youxiao could answer, Li Jinzhong came in unexpectedly and reported directly: "Long live Lord, Master Li is here!"

    Liu Yishui was asking the key point when he was interrupted by Li Jinzhong. He became furious, pointed at Li Jinzhong and roared: "You eunuch, your Majesty is talking about establishing a clan and establishing a school, which is an important event for generations. You  You dare to disturb me randomly? Let me see if I don¡¯t beat you to death!"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Liu Yishen looked around for the weapon with which he could kill Li Jinzhong, but it was a pity that there was no one in the Nuan Pavilion who could take advantage of him. After the old man turned around, he picked up the brocade stool and was about to hit Li Jinzhong with it!

    Zhu Youxiao saw that this was okay, and quickly stopped him: "Mr. Liu Ge, please wait a moment, my invitation to Master Li is also related to your new learning!"

    As soon as Liu Yishen heard that the person was related to Xinxue, his anger immediately subsided. He put down his brocade and apologized, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for the sin of disobeying the emperor. But I don't know what the relationship between Master Li and Xinxue is?"

    Zhu Youxiao was helpless when he saw Liu Yishuo changing his face faster than turning the page in a book. He could only say: "It doesn't matter, you will know when you meet the person!"

    Then Zhu Youxiao asked Li Jinzhong to invite the people in. Li Jinzhong was startled just now, and he was afraid that he would miss something important, so he trotted out quickly. After a while, Li Laohan was holding a four-foot-long and half-foot-wide  The wooden box followed Li Jinzhong into the Nuan Pavilion!

    This is not the way Li Laohan looked when he first met Zhu Youxiao. Although he still had a humble look on his face, he was wearing a blue cotton coat and trousers, and thick-soled shoes on his feet.  Cotton shoes make me feel much more energetic!

    After the ceremony, Li Laohan presented the wooden box and said: "Long live my Lord, the new firecracker you asked me to make has been completed. After the military officers of the Han Dynasty's pro-army tried it out, they all said that this new firecracker is easy to use and has great power."  big enough!"

    Zhu Youxiao opened the wooden box and saw inside it a flintlock musket about 1.6 meters long with a butt and a reed. There was also a small box under the musket. Zhu Youxiao opened the box and found that it was neat and tidy inside.  There is a box of fixed ammunition wrapped in kraft paper stacked on the ground. This ammunition has a pointed end and a flat end. The pointed end is iron sand and the flat end is gunpowder. It is easy to distinguish!

    Picking up the exquisitely crafted flintlock musket, Zhu Youxiao looked at it carefully. He told Li Laohan to make it a month ago. The drawings were also drawn by him. In addition, there were several production methods and uses.  Zhu Youxiao also handed over the materials to Li Laohan, but those few things were used by Zhu Youxiao to make a lot of money, so naturally they were not suitable to talk about in public!

    When Zhu Youxiao looked at the flintlock musket in his hand, he couldn't help but admire the skill of the craftsmen. The barrel of this musket was rolled and forged from iron sheets. The thickness of the barrel reached half an inch.  Judging from the lines on the muzzle, the iron sheet is extremely tightly made, and the inside of the barrel is also extremely regular and smooth!

    The butt made of cypress wood looks exactly like the rifle of later generations. The handguard also extends to two-thirds of the barrel. This allows the gun to not only be fired over the shoulder, but also easy to hold. This is comparable to the one currently used in the military.  It¡¯s much easier to use a gun without a butt!

    However, this gun is not without its shortcomings, that is, the length and weight. In order to ensure the range and power, the amount of powder must be increased. Therefore, in order not to explode, the gun needs a strong and thick barrel, plus a matching barrel.  The butt makes the length of this musket reach 1.6 meters, and the weight reaches 19 kilograms!

    Although such length and weight are a big burden for shooting and marching, judging from the current hardness of metal materials and the power of gunpowder, this is already the most optimized design, not to mention the addition of a spark reed.  After that, eliminating the trouble of a match rope and using fixed ammunition, this musket has become the most advanced individual firearm in the world!

    Looking at the flintlock musket in his hand, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh. The Ming royal family had such skillful craftsmen, but their life was miserable. He didn't know what the previous emperors thought, even if they didn't do it for the sake of face.  It's better to sell the products produced by the manufacturing office directly, and you can make a lot of money by selling them secretly!

    "Has it been tested?" After Zhu Youxiao looked at it for a long time, he nodded with satisfaction, and then asked casually!

    "Back to the emperor, I have already tried it. The military men of the Han Dynasty have done it. They can penetrate a two-inch thick wooden board within a hundred steps. Although they cannot penetrate cotton armor at eighty steps, they can also penetrate behind the visor.  There is a small hole left in the wooden board, and the cotton armor and wooden board can be penetrated within fifty steps!" Li Laohan said with a little pride on his face!

    Zhu Youxiao nodded. He already knew the power of this flintlock musket from Li Laohan's words. Its range is definitely more than one hundred and fifty steps, but the best range is fifty steps, but only eighty steps.  It is also possible to kill armored enemies within a short distance. After all,? Even if the cotton armor cannot be penetrated at eighty steps, the impact will definitely make anyone who is shot in the torso lose their combat effectiveness!

    "How long does it take to fire a shot?" Colonel Zhu You was very satisfied with the power, so he asked another key question!

    "This little old man has also calculated. A novice military master can fire a shot at fifteen breaths. After he becomes familiar with it, he can fire a shot at ten breaths!" Li Laohan's face was even more smug. This was something he had created before.  The fastest and most powerful fire gun!

    Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction. If one shot is calculated based on ten breaths, it means that a skilled warrior can complete the reloading in about nine seconds. This speed is enough to ensure the continuity of three rows of shooting!

    Finally, Zhu Youxiao glanced at the four adults present and said, "How about we try this musket?"

    At this time, Zhu Youxiao made this request. Naturally, everyone could not disobey, so they surrounded Zhu Youxiao and walked outside the Nuan Pavilion. When they left the Nuan Pavilion, they saw the wooden target set up by the eunuch, and there was also a group of Han soldiers guarding the surrounding area.  !

    Zhu Youxiao carried the musket and walked to a place eighty steps away from the wooden target. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Li Jinzhong immediately touched a fixed musket bullet into Zhu Youxiao's hand!

    When Fang Congzhe saw that Zhu Youxiao wanted to test the gun himself, he quickly stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, this is a murder weapon. The emperor's use is unknown, so let others try it!"

    Zhu Youxiao didn't even look at Fang Congzhe. He bit the end of the flat paper roll skillfully, poured the gunpowder inside into the barrel, and crumpled the iron sand-wrapped paper roll into a ball, along with the contents inside.  Iron sand was stuffed into the barrel of the gun, and finally it was stabbed firmly with a purge bar!

    Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youxiao set up the gun, moved the reed at the back of the barrel, took aim and pulled the trigger!

    Bang¡ª¡ª

    With a muffled sound, a puff of smoke came out of the muzzle of the gun, and then the strong smell of gunpowder spread, and a hole the size of a copper coin was punched in the center of the wooden target eighty steps away!

    "Long live the mighty!"

    "Long live the mighty!"

    "Long live the mighty!"

    Seeing that Zhu Youxiao hit the bullseye with one shot, the surrounding Han soldiers immediately let out deafening cheers!

    Then Zhu Youxiao fired two more shots, hitting a neat triangle on the wooden target. The three shots took him less than thirty breaths in total. This result was already better than those of the masters in the Han army.  Some!

    After three shots were fired, Zhu Youxiao checked the musket again, then nodded with satisfaction and said: "This gun is not bad. Let someone try it to see how many shots can be fired at most. If you can fire two hundred shots in a row, you can fire a large number of shots."  It¡¯s built!¡±
