The Rise of the European Emperor

After retrieving the batch of guns, the little eunuch who led the team immediately explained the process to Liu Jin vividly. Moreover, it highlights the wonderful plots such as the sledgehammer breaking the big iron lock of the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites.

Then, news came from Dongchang Fanzi, who was in charge of monitoring the movement of the Ministry of Rites, and told Liu Jin vividly the plot of Mao Cheng jumping and cursing with rage.

Liu Jin said happily:

"Our family likes to see this old man angry but he can't do anything about me! It's a pity, I can't see it with my own eyes..."

Then, as soon as he turned his head, Liu Jin ran to Zhengde and flattered...

"Your Majesty, it's interesting to hear!"

In front of Zhu Houzhao, a child with a naive face, Eunuch Liu, who has always shown the face of a domineering president, is now as good as a kitten. And, flatteringly.

Not long after Zhengde came back from the morning, he was lying on the reclining chair with his eyes closed. On the side, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and other eunuchs surrounded the city, rushing to help the bear boy beat his back and pinched his shoulders. Because there are as many as 7 people, Gao Feng and others on the periphery, can't reach in...

Although there is some nonsense, Zhengde will still go to court. The only emperors in the Ming Dynasty who did not go to court were the immortal cultivators in Jiajing and the smokers in Wanli. Unless Emperor Zhengde was not in the capital, he would still know about the court and reviewing memorials. Even if he leaves the capital, he will assign reliable assistants such as Li Dongyang (early stage) and Yang Tinghe (late stage) to sit in town, and he will not miss a major event.

The bear boy opened his eyes impatiently and said:

"Old Liu, don't you see that I'm a little sleepy? You'd better say something that will interest me, otherwise, I'll definitely take care of you."

Liu Jin asked, flatteringly:

"Yes, yes, it must make you happy, the emperor.

Besides, that is, the emperor, you really clean up the old slave, that is also the blessing that the old slave has cultivated! "

Then, Liu Jin Liu Gonggong turned into a funny comic actor, and danced and described the previous events...

Zhu Houzhao really got interested:

"Old Liu, why are you going to grab those Western guns in the morning? Wouldn't it be better to grab them back in an open and honest way?" Yes, the bear boy thought very violent.

Liu Jin suddenly grimaced:

"Your Majesty, you also know that the Minister of Rites is Mao Cheng! That guy even dared to criticize the Emperor in person. Even if there is a decree, with Mao Shangshu's temper, he might reject it in person. At that time, he will fall to the Emperor. So, the old servant secretly took advantage of him and made a surprise attack. You don't know, the big Han general surnamed Huang in Jinyiwei is nicknamed 'Huang Dachui', and his sledgehammer is called a slipper. Ah, the big lock made of stainless steel in the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites smashed open in three clicks!"

Zhengde smiled and nodded:

"Well, interesting... what else?"

"When Mao Cheng's old man returned to the Ministry of Rites and saw that the door of the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites was smashed open, he was so angry, he was blowing his beard and staring. He was so angry that he jumped to the ground! It's funny like that!" Liu Jin frowned.

"Hahaha, it's really interesting!" Zhengde suddenly laughed. For Mao Cheng, the bear child is also very unhappy. In the court, upright ministers like Mao Cheng and Wang He often did not give face to the little emperor, and accused the little emperor of his faults in person. The bear child is in the rebellious period of youth, how can he bear it? I was already on fire. This time, Liu Jin played with Mao Cheng, which greatly relieved the bear child. More importantly, Liu Jin's people went with the imperial edict. Even if it makes a big fuss about the Ministry of Rites, it's not too much.

As for Liu Jin's worries about Mao Cheng's impeachment later (actually Liu Jin wasn't worried at all, but he had to pretend to be weak in front of Zhengde, so he said so), the bear boy waved his hand:

"Old Liu, don't worry. You haven't broken the law. Even if he impeaches you, he won't be able to get too much of a handle. At most, you can compensate him with a new steel lock!"

"Pay for a new lock?" Liu Jin was stunned, then laughed:

"Isn't Mao Shangshu going to jump with anger again?"

"Yes, I just want to see Mao Shangshu jumping with his own eyes!" The bear boy said proudly.

"The emperor is mighty, and he played the old man in the palm of his hand!" Liu Jin offered his flattery in a timely manner.

Then, Gu Dayong and other seven eunuchs also sent horses one after another, lest they fall behind...

...

After the rest, the bear boy stood up and moved his muscles and bones. Then, ask Liu Jin:

"Old Liu, what about the batch of Western guns you grabbed? Let me take a look!"

"Follow your orders! Your Majesty, please!" After speaking, Liu Jin led the bear boy Zhu Houzhao to the direction of the war zone outside the imperial city. The other seven tigers of the "Eight Tigers of Zhengde" were not far behind, and followed closely behind Emperor Zhengde, looking for every opportunity to flatter...

...

The Military Battle Bureau is one of the eight bureaus in the Ming Dynasty. Each bureau has its own eunuch, a book, a supervisor and so on.

In other words, these eight innings are all institutions of the inner court, separate from the outer court. Therefore, these eight rounds are generally located in the imperial city. Of course, they are all located on the edge of the imperial city. After all, the inner court eunuchs can't be on the stage, can't seize the golden market, and contaminate the eyes of civil servants...

After arriving at the Battle Bureau, the eunuch in charge of the Battle Bureau immediately gave Liu Jin a wink, and then nodded...

Liu Jin understood and knew that he meant that the craftsmen of the War Bureau had seen it and felt that there was nothing wrong with the batch of guns...

Then, Liu Jin began to warmly invite Zhengde to visit the musket shooting...

I saw Liu Honshi, a demonstration gunner sent by Guangzhou avant-garde, and other 9 people, holding arquebuses, standing in three rows, lighting the arquebus, and waiting for orders.

Of course, there were Jin Yiwei standing beside these people to prevent them from turning their guns around and giving Zhengde a shot. If anyone dares to turn the muzzle, Jin Yiwei will definitely be a knife...

The bear boy Zhu Houzhao is also well-informed. After looking at it, he said in surprise:

"Hey, this sunset fire gun is much longer than Daming's three-eyed gun!"

In fact, the bear child played with the three-eyed gun. At the beginning, the bear child even played the three-eyed gun as a cannonball, and almost killed a palace maid.

However, to tell the truth, the three-eyed gun is a wooden stick, with three short and thick iron pipes attached to the front, and the appearance is very unsightly. The bear boy threw it away soon after playing. That thing looked like an ugly iron hammer... In fact, after shooting three bullets, the three-eyed gun was indeed used as an iron hammer to hit people...

But the matchlock gun is different, not to mention the effect, but the slender barrel looks much more beautiful than the three-eyed gun. Of course, if there is no bayonet, the matchlock gun is not as effective as the three-eyed gun when it encounters the enemy. Anyway, the three-eyed gun can still be used as a hammer to smash people...

However, appearance is justice, don't look at the three-eyed gun that can hit people, but its ugly appearance will give it a lower score. As for the matchlock gun, it looks pleasing to the eye, and it is too high...

Following Liu Jin's nodding, the steward of the Battle Bureau gave an order, and Liu Honestly and other trained gunmen from Guangzhou avant-garde attacked in three-stage strikes step by step. They work in groups of three, taking turns loading and shooting. Although there is a pause in the middle, the pause is not long.

With such a smooth operation, Zhengde was immediately dazzled...

"Okay!" Zhengde began to applaud. After all, the shooting performance in front of me was really wonderful, and it was a little bit like acrobatics.

After the shooting performance, Zhengde was surprised when he saw the target full of bullet holes:

"The target of thirty steps, the hit is so high?"

Although Emperor Zhengde was a bit stubborn, it was obvious that he had knowledge. You know, when he played with three-eyed guns, he was guaranteed to hit within 10 steps. Thirty paces away... as if he almost killed a palace maid by mistake...

At this time, Emperor Zhengde finally put away his playfulness. After being silent for a while, Emperor Zhengde ordered:

"Try the cannon again!"

"Ah? Try it here?" Liu Jin was a little dumbfounded. This is the imperial city! The sound of the arquebus is somewhat similar to the sound of firecrackers, which is easy to say. But I'm going to fire... that's a bit too loud...

However, he did not dare to go against the will of the bear child. So, he asked the soldiers from the Battle Bureau to supervise the gunners sent by the Guangzhou avant-garde, pushed three Fran cannons, and came to the shooting range...

In fact, there is no shooting range in the Imperial City, only a shooting range for testing firearms. However, Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and said:

"Build a temporary wall as a gun target. In this way, you won't have to worry about the shells flying out of the imperial city!"

So, a group of masons soon came and built a brick wall at a distance of a hundred paces from the shooting range and smeared it with mud as a temporary gun target. The reason why the mud is applied is to prevent the shells from bouncing and causing ricochet to hurt people...

Then, with an order, the gunner from the Guangzhou avant-garde who was performing the artillery bombardment lit the fuze on the cannon of the French machine gun with a match rope tied with a wooden stick...

"Boom-boom-boom-" In the imperial city, there were three gunshots...

"Where did the cannons come from?" Wang Hao, a cabinet minister who knew military affairs at the Imperial City Cabinet Office, jumped up in shock.

You know, the sound of cannons usually appears on the battlefield, or when a ceremony is held. Now, there is no war in the capital and no celebrations, and suddenly there are three gunshots, which immediately frightened Wang Shuo. His first reaction was—some people rebelled and used artillery...
