Chapter 102 Reuse (one more)
Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan continued with a smile: “I saw the eldest prince at the Ministry of War. The eldest prince said that the envoys of the Yue Kingdom will arrive in a few days, and the third prince of the Yue Kingdom will come, and the eldest prince asked me to accompany me out of Beijing to receive the envoys. minister.”
Gu Yuan was the first time to meet Chu Yi, the eldest prince who had been a proton in Yue for eight years.
Before that, he thought that the first prince had been a hostage in the country of Yue for many years, and he was afraid that he would be raised to have a cowardly temperament. Until today, from the words and deeds of the first prince, he realized that the first prince was different from what he thought before.
When the eldest prince mentioned the three princes of the Yue Kingdom, his expression was light and calm, without the slightest caution, let alone humility and caution. Vietnam bowed its knees.
“Meow!” Qingguang seemed to understand, thinking of a certain human who pinched the back of its neck.
Humph, daring, stupid human beings! !
Qingguang was about to look up at Gu Yuan, but Gu Yanfei quickly pressed his hand on the back of his neck.
Gu Yanfei patted it on its back perfunctorily, meaning, eat your food well.
The cat gave in.
Gu Yuan took another sip of tea, and then said, “The matter of Yue’s visit was temporarily decided this month.”
“In these years, the water between Dajing and Yueguo has been regarded as a well, and there are only some ordinary trade exchanges. Until the emperor ascended the throne, in order to return to the country in exchange for the first prince, the emperor spent half a year barely suppressing those noble families. It was only after the approval of a blueprint of a firearm from the Yue Kingdom that the sage of the Yue Kingdom agreed to release him.”
Gu Yuan didn’t know about the agreement between the two countries on firearm drawings. He saw the first prince at the Ministry of War today, and the first prince told him personally…
Thinking, Gu Yuan’s eyes were slightly cold, and he continued: “Because the two countries did not trust each other, the emperor only gave Yue Guo half of the blueprint. This time, the third prince of Yue Guo came to Dajing in person just for the other half. drawing.”
These Vietnamese people are simply wolf ambitions!
Gu Yuan’s eyes were dark and dark, and the hand holding the tea cup was also subconsciously tensed.
He had an unforgettable feud with Yueguo for killing his father, how could he forget, how could he let go!
“What firearm?” Gu Yanfei took a bite of the fluffy pastry and asked curiously.
Gu Yuan heard the sound and looked at Gu Yanfei, his eyes softened immediately, and explained: “Emperor Taizu improved the matchlock gun when he was alive, and named it the ‘Suifa Gun’.”
As we all know, Emperor Taizu was a genius in the sky. He not only was the best in the world in terms of cultural and martial arts, but also had a lot of knowledge and knowledge. He was proficient in various miscellaneous studies. He invented glass, mercury mirror, soap, and improved springs, looms, and movable type printing. And so on, too many.
Thinking of Emperor Taizu’s great achievements, Gu Yuan’s handsome face seemed to glow, and he couldn’t hide his admiration and yearning for Emperor Taizu.
“Although the original arquebus is far more powerful than bows and arrows, knives and guns, but the defects are also obvious. It takes a lot of time to load gunpowder and projectiles, and the arquebus needs to be ignited to launch, and the shooting is not accurate.”
“After being improved by Emperor Taizu, the new ‘Flint Spear’ uses flint to strike the fire, which not only greatly simplifies the shooting process, the firing speed is two or three times faster than that of the arquebus, but also improves the shooting accuracy.”
“Once a good soldier has mastered the ‘Fintlock Spear’ proficiently, it is equivalent to having one enemy against a hundred.”
Gu Yuan couldn’t help but his eyes lit up, his whole body seemed like a sharp sword that was about to be unsheathed, ready to go to the battlefield at any time.
Gu Yanfei just asked casually at first, but after listening, he heard a bit of interest, and asked enthusiastically, “Brother, do you have a flintlock gun?”
“Yes.” Gu Yuan nodded and smiled dotingly, “I’ll have someone bring it for you to play with.”
He really has a flintlock gun. When he went to the military just now, Chu Yi gave him a flintlock pistol.
So, Gu Yuan called Juan Bi in and told her to go to Chenghuiyuan to find Wutong to get it.
After Juan Bi went out, Gu Yuan pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, and then he asked the question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time: “Sister, do you recognize the First Prince?”
His sister and the eldest prince should have nothing to do with each other, but today the eldest prince told him that he could tell his sister the errands he was going to undertake without any concealment, so he had to make this assumption.
“Yes.” Gu Yanfei nodded honestly and answered honestly.
That’s true!
Gu Yuan didn’t want to ask how they met. In his opinion, the eldest prince should remember her with such an outstanding sister.
Gu Yanfei took a piece of plum blossom cake for Gu Yuan with chopsticks, and asked casually, “Brother, have you been to Yue?”
“I have read in the book that there are many dialects in the country of Vietnam, and in some places there are dozens of dialects in one state.”
Gu Yanfei was not familiar with Yue at all.
In her last life, her world was really too small. There was only this small Dingyuan Marquis mansion, and she didn’t even know much about the capital, let alone the distant country of Yue.
Gu Yuan took a bite of the plum blossom cake and shook his head. When his dark phoenix eyes met Gu Yanfei’s curious eyes, they became warmer and softer.
He rationalized his thoughts and said with a smile: “I haven’t been there, but I heard some friends say something.”
“The country of Yue is rich in tea and silk. Many cloth houses on Dayan Street are selling silk and satin of the country of Yue. It is often said that the silk of the country of Yue is dyed with the color of Jiangnanchun, which is more graceful than the material of Dajing.”
“When you’re free, I’ll take you to stroll around Dayan Street, which is also known as Nanyue Street. Many shops on the street sell South Vietnamese goods, such as dim sum, paper kites, embroidered screens, purses, fans…”
“By the way, there is also a theater on Dayan Street. We have invited a theater troupe from Nanyue, and they sing operas from Nanyue. It has a unique flavor.”
Gu Yuan racked his brains to talk about it, all of what he said was from his friends, so it was a little mixed and a little loose.
“Big Brother,” Gu Yanfei leaned slightly, leaned closer to him, and pinched Gu Yuan’s cuff coquettishly, “Then we agreed, next time we go to the shop on Dayan Street and buy some Jiangnan materials to make clothes?”
“Then, let’s go to the opera troupe you mentioned.”
In the past life, their brother and sister missed a lot. In this life, Gu Yanfei doesn’t want to miss it again.
She would tell Gu Yuan what she wanted to do and what she liked.
“Whatever you want, my brother will accompany you.” Gu Yuan always said yes, and he was even thinking about it: since my sister likes watching dramas so much, maybe he can buy a drama troupe for her in the future. At that time, she can watch it whenever she wants. can watch.
However, before that, he has to work hard to save money, and then take his sister to split up the family!
After the family is separated, the younger sister can live as she pleases, live happily and freely, without being restrained in the Hou residence.
Originally, Gu Yuan had no interest in going to Luan Yiwei, no matter how bright and bright Luan Yiwei was, and no matter how bright the future was, it was not what he yearned for, nor what he was chasing.
but now……
Gu Yuan has a new idea.
Today, since the eldest prince has told him so much, and even told him the secrets of the “Fintlock Spear” blueprint, it means that the eldest prince should have other arrangements for him… In other words, the eldest prince intends to use him!
Yes, now is not the time when the late emperor was in power.
He is confident, and with his ability, he will be able to create a world that belongs to him in the army just like his father!
For his sister, he must work harder!
Thinking about it, Gu Yuan couldn’t help being aroused by his fighting spirit, his jet-black pupils shone brightly, and he said energetically: “Sister, my ten-day vacation must have been in vain, and then I will accompany the eldest prince, and there is another busy…”
“After I’ve been busy for a while, I’ll definitely take you to have a good time in Beijing!”
Looking at Gu Yuan like this, Gu Yanfei felt an inexplicable impulse in her heart, and she also wanted to touch her brother’s head.
However, my brother will not be happy.
She smirked in her heart, and a smile appeared from the corners of her eyes.
“Girl!” Juan Bi finally came back, holding a heavy rectangular wooden box in both hands.
Gu Yuan personally opened the long wooden box and saw a new flintlock gun quietly placed on the red velvet cloth in the box. There are also eight or nine projectiles.
Gu Yanfei looked at the strange flintlock gun, took it out of the box with great interest, and started with a heavy one.
The little girl’s arms were so thin that it was not as thick as the barrel of a gun, but she easily grabbed the heavy flintlock gun in both hands, as if she had grabbed a long sword in her hands with ease.
Gu Yanfei grabbed the flintlock gun in his hand and played with it at will, touching the barrel, hooking the trigger, touching the butt…
Gu Yuan first introduced the various parts of the flintlock gun, and then began to teach her step by step how to clean the barrel, where to fill the gunpowder, and where to load the projectile…
“The steps to fire a gun are far more complicated than a bow shot, and it takes a dozen breaths at the fastest to fire once.”
“However, the projectile is pushed out of the gun chamber by the burning gunpowder. The speed is much faster than the ordinary feather arrow, and the lethality is also greater. It can penetrate a human skull with one shot at a distance of a hundred paces.”
Gu Yuan had never used a musket before, that is, when he was just in the Ministry of War, the First Prince personally showed him a thing or two.
It is not difficult to get started, and practice makes perfect. No wonder Gu Yuan once heard Shangfeng say: “On the battlefield, it is much easier to train a soldier to use a musket than to train an archer.”
He spoke very carefully, and Gu Yanfei listened attentively, nodded frequently, touched his chin with interest, and asked, “Brother, can I try it?”
This firearm called “Flint Spear” is a bit like a low-level spiritual weapon in the Yaoling world, but its power sounds much smaller than that of a spiritual weapon.
She just held it in her hand and played with it for a while, and then she understood the pros and cons of this thing. For example, the burning of gunpowder can generate a strong thrust and push the projectile to launch, and I am afraid that it will also affect the accuracy of the flintlock gun.
However, the flintlock gun is probably a killer in this small world.
