I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

If there is a flash of fire from the bolt, it means that the closure of the bolt is not perfect.

This situation will not only injure the shooter, but even affect the range of the gun.

He picked up the small notebook and quickly recorded the situation on it.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the 50-step target with a telescope.

This is a humanoid target. Zhu Zhangui is not sure where the gun tester aimed, but Zhu Zhangui probably missed the shot, and the bullet hit the shoulder of the humanoid target.

After the gun tester put down the gun and said that the shooting was over, Master Wang and others quickly surrounded him and asked questions in a hurry.

The gun testers answered one by one, and raised the problems they found.

After simple adjustments and corrections, the second shot fired again.

This time I hit a 100-step target. I don't know if it was the first time I shot this kind of gun, or for other reasons.

The shot missed.

The smoke and dust from the bullet rose one meter away from the target.

Both shots were unsatisfactory.

Master Wang discussed with several people, and decided to cancel the shooting target 100 steps away, and shoot again at the two targets at close range.

Three gunshots sounded, the target at 50 paces hit the bullseye, and the target at 100 paces, one shot missed the target and one shot hit the edge.

"Your Highness, the test has been completed, and the effect is not satisfactory!"

Master Wang came over and reported the result to Zhu Zhangui with some embarrassment.

Zhu Zhangui did not blame Master Wang.

When a new weapon appears, it has to go through several months or even last year's testing and revision. It is impossible to pull it into the army for use as soon as it is tested.

"It's okay, if you can fire it, it means the experiment is successful. You should study and correct it slowly, and don't rush to use it for the time being."

After comforting Master Wang, Zhu Zhangui took the gun handed over by Lao He, pulled the bolt and took aim.

Then based on memory, I put forward some ideas of my own and some suggestions for improvement.

Master Wang and others wrote down one by one, saying that they would definitely take out the test gun as soon as possible.

"After you go back, you should study it carefully. The rifling of long guns is not easy to get. You can try short guns first. For example, the revolver I told you about. You can try to make this kind of weapon first."

If there is a long gun, there must be a short gun.

Due to the defects of paper shell bullets, Zhu Zhangui did not allow the manufacture of pistols in the form of magazines.

Instead, they plan to equip the troops with revolvers first, and then consider magazine-type weapons after the technology of copper-cased bullets or steel-cased bullets matures.

Since he had inspected in the morning, Zhu Zhangui didn't stay in the craftsman camp too much. After all, he had other things to deal with, and he only came here when there were circumstances.

"His Royal Highness, it's getting late, and it's time for the old Taoist to leave."

As soon as he walked out of the craftsman camp, the old Taoist said goodbye to Zhu Zhangui with a smile.

"Boy and Daoist hit it off right away, why don't Daoist stay for a while, let's have a good exchange."

The old Taoist smiled and waved his hands.

"No, when the old Taoist finds an apprentice, he will borrow a place from His Royal Highness to teach his disciples. By then, we will have plenty of time to communicate."

The old man insisted on leaving, but Zhu Zhangui didn't force him to stay.

Anyway, he got what he deserved, even if he forced the other party to stay, it didn't make any sense.

And this kind of mysterious person, if you can make friends with them, try to make friends with them as much as possible, maybe they will be useful to each other in the future.

"That's fine, when the Taoist priest comes back in the future, let's have another drink!"

"Hahaha...Okay, let's make a deal like this, let's say goodbye!"

The old Taoist smiled carefreely, shook the whisk that was about to lose all hair on his hands, sang an unknown tune, and wandered away into the distance.

"It's really enviable to be so carefree!"

Looking at the handsome back of the other party, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help sighing.

Chapter 204: King Ning Zhu Quan: I want to get back everything I lost!

On the morning of June 14th, Yongle [-].

When the people in the city were still asleep, a large number of officials, honorable princes, rushed to the palace from their mansions or inns, preparing to participate in the grand court meeting.

The court meeting had already been notified when the logistics team returned.

It is required that all officials who are eligible to participate in the court meeting, and the heads of noble families of feudal kings from all over the country must participate.

And it is required that representatives are not allowed to be sent, and even if they are too sick to walk, the heirs must be invited to participate.

Many people are very puzzled.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been only a handful of times that such a court meeting has been convened.

Except when old Zhu ascended the throne and the old man succeeded in usurping the throne, Zhu Yunqi was never so complete when he ascended the throne.

Some people who don't know the situation feel a little uneasy.

The expeditionary force went overseas for nearly a year, and the old man also went out for a year, and there was very little news coming back.

Suddenly the grandson came back, and he summoned so many troops, and let everyone come to the palace. Could it be that something big happened.

Although the imperial court had explained the reason for the increase in troops, many people did not believe it, thinking that it was just a cover, and the purpose should be other.

They thought they couldn't think about it, but seeing the cold eyes of Jin Yiwei who went to inform, they could only grit their teeth and come to the capital.

Many vassal kings had already left their wills before leaving.

If something happens to them, let the children be prepared, and they can no longer be killed like pigs like Zhu Yunqi.

"Third son, do you think it's possible that the old man has already left, and this little bastard came back in such a hurry to help his father take over."

In a carriage, Zhu Gaoxu, who was also summoned, looked at Zhu Gaosui who was sitting opposite with a serious expression.

The letter Zhu Pangpang wrote to the two said that the old man asked them to lead the army and fight against the Three Kingdoms.

And cryptically told the two that the old man might let them manage the place called A Sanguo.

The boss even said in the letter that the Three Kingdoms are very rich, with a population larger than that of Ming Dynasty, and the cultivated land is the largest in the world, with countless precious minerals and treasures. He is not a prince, he wants to go to this place.

Regarding Zhu Pangpang's letter, Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what Zhu Gaosui thought, anyway, he didn't believe a single word.

Boss really thought he was a fool.

If that Sanguo is really as good as the boss said, your little bastard son who picks his ass and fingers will give me such a good place.

Besides, even if there was, would Daming have a chance of winning if he traveled thousands of miles to fight against a country of comparable strength?

Zhu Zhangui's sudden return, and his father didn't write to him, Zhu Gaoxu always felt that the old man might have left.

The boss wrote a letter to lure them to the capital, with the purpose of getting rid of them and completely solving the trouble of the two of them.

Zhu Gaosui, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes helplessly.

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense. It's not that you don't understand the character of the eldest brother. Even if the eldest nephew wants to attack us, the boss will not agree."

"You, don't think about it, the official document of the Ministry of War can't be fake, it's clearly written in black and white with a big seal, let us two command the army."

But Zhu Gaosui's words not only did not comfort Zhu Gaoxu, but made him even more worried.

"I'm not thinking about it. Yang Shiqi belongs to the boss, and he is a staunch supporter of the boss. If the boss gives an order, let alone an official document, he dares to write even an imperial decree."

"I think it's better for us to be careful. If the boss really plans to attack, we two brothers must work together and fight together."

"Otherwise the two of us will become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered!"

Looking at Zhu Gaoxu with a murderous look on his face, Zhu Gaosui closed his eyes.

In fact, he was also a little nervous.

In the past two days since he came to the capital, he also went to see Zhu Zhangui, but the reply he got was that he was busy and had no time to see him for the time being.

As a result, he was uneasy.

He also thought about the possibility that the old man might have had an accident, and that his eldest nephew planned to attack the two uncles.

As for the boss, he never thought that he would harm them.

The three brothers have been fighting together for so many years, and he still knows the character of the boss very well.

The boss will never do anything to harm his own brother.

But his eldest nephew, Zhu Zhangui, he was a little unsure.

Even if he has already taken refuge in Zhu Zhangui, he can't guarantee whether Zhu Zhangui will get rid of himself with no future troubles.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui felt uneasy, and the other vassal kings were not much better.

Among them, the most nervous one is King Ning Zhu Quan.

Some time ago, my subordinates did something wrong, and I was scolded by Zhu Pangpang in a letter.

Zhu Quan was worried that because of this reason, Zhu Laosi's family would become suspicious of him.

Before he came, he had already explained to his son that if he died, he would fight at all costs.

You can't be slaughtered like a pig without the power to fight back.

Even if he failed in the end, he still felt that Zhu Laosi's family would not be at peace.

Anyway, I can't live, and you don't mean to live well.

"Damn it, if I prepare for more than ten years, I won't be so passive."

More and more people came outside Fengtian Gate.

But no one spoke, they were all secretly looking around, looking for the axeman who was in ambush by the prince and grandson.

King Ning and Zhu Quan looked around, but after not finding any ambush, he slowly moved to the side of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui who had a dignified face.

"Long time no see, two nephews!"

Ning Wang Zhu Quan was the first to say hello.

The two looked at each other, smiled and cupped their hands.

"Uncle Seventeen, long time no see."

King Ning Zhu Quan waved his hand, looked left and right, and after attracting someone's attention, he leaned closer to the two of them, and whispered to them with a solemn expression.

"You two virtuous nephews, you may be in for a catastrophe."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other again after hearing the words.

The old fellow was uneasy and kind.

Besides, we're in disaster, it's none of your business.Don't take pleasure in other people's misfortunes, just with that little bastard's character, if something happens to us, you won't be much better.

Zhu Gaosui said with a smile.

"Haha, Uncle Seventeen was joking, there is nothing wrong with the world being peaceful."

"Hehe, yes, what the third brother said is right. We are very honest now, not like you, Uncle Seventeen. I heard that one of your subordinates committed some crimes a while ago, and was almost cut off by the boss!"

"You old man, you have to be careful. Be careful if the boss and my eldest nephew find out something that shouldn't happen, I'm afraid you will be in trouble."

King Ning and Zhu Quan came over, and the two of them certainly understood what it meant.

It's nothing more than wanting to unite with the two when something goes wrong.

But the two of them didn't want to get too involved with this guy.

The old man once said that Zhu Quan, the King of Ning, does not look like he is friendly and easy to talk to, but he is actually full of ghosts.

That is to say, in the current situation, the opponent has no chance. If there is a slight chance, this guy will definitely jump out first.

He had already made a mistake that year, and if he did it again, this old fellow would never let go of the opportunity.

Among all the feudal lords in Daming, the old man followed King Ning the most closely.

He even told the three brothers more than once that if the situation in the world tends to be chaotic after his death, don't worry about other things and destroy King Ning first.

From this, it can be seen how worried my old man is about this seventeenth brother.

The three brothers have discussed this matter more than once in private.
