surnamed Wang

Chapter 63 The Northern Invasion
In the evening, Wang Gingquan was cheerfully counting the money. At this time, a person walked into the store, "You are late, guest officer, and it is already closed."

"It's a lot of money!"

"Small scene."

Wang Gangquan replied subconsciously, then he was taken aback for a moment, why does this voice sound so familiar?

He immediately looked up at the person who was coming, and after he saw it clearly, he immediately smiled, "Yo, Master Wang is here."

The person who came was none other than Wang Gangquan's own father, the current Supreme Emperor.

Every time he heard Wang Gangquan greet him like this, Sheng Endi couldn't help wanting to slap him.

Since retiring, the Supreme Emperor suddenly had nothing to do, so he often went out of the palace for private visits. Unexpectedly, this time, he happened to see the opening of a new store. It was quite lively, so he planned to come in and take a look. Unexpectedly, he saw Wang Gangquan as soon as he entered the door. With a wretched smile on his face, he counted the bank notes there.

The old emperor twitched the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "You opened this store?"

"Yeah, it looks good."

The old emperor didn't argue, he still doesn't understand the power of the king?If he said a good word, the other party's tail could go up to the sky and poke a hole in the roof, so he ignored him at all.

"What were they fighting for just now?"

"Oh, this is it."

Having said that, Wang Bingquan brought the exhibits over and began to show off. The old emperor picked up one of the cups and inspected it carefully, "The workmanship is good, but it's not too bad to loot it, right?"

When Wang Gingquan heard this, he immediately showed a smile, and the old emperor couldn't help but thumped in his heart when he saw his expression. It was over, and he was shot in the muzzle, and the roof might not be able to keep today.

Sure enough, Wang Handquan waved his hand and pointed to the code on the inside of the box: "Look here, each set of cups has a unique code, there are a thousand sets in total, and one set is sold for less."

Then he picked up the cup again: "Look, the Year of the Monkey limited edition is hand-painted by the master. The master is almost eighty, his old eyes are dim, and he can only draw one set in three days. Just after finishing the thousand sets, the master is completely blind So this thousand sets are out of print!"

"Looking at the price again, it's 99, which is less than 2000 taels."

The old emperor couldn't listen anymore, and stopped Wang Gangquan from continuing: "Are you kidding me?"

Wang Gangquan shook his head hastily, "This guest, please don't talk nonsense, our store operates with integrity."

"Oh?" The old emperor still had a look of disbelief.

Wang Gingquan was also a quick-witted master, so he quickly came up to him: "Father, can I give you a set?"

The emperor glanced at him sideways: "Aren't they all sold out?"

"It's okay, just make a set for you alone."

"Isn't the master all blind?"

"It's okay, I have the eye drops for clearing the eyes."

"..."

After finishing the affairs of Liulichang, Wang Bingquan planned to take a rest for a few days, go to Guanghan Tower to listen to the play or something, and see how Lu Xiaoxian performed the Red Chamber. As a result, he met Liu Luming as soon as he left the house.

"This is you?" Looking at the other party's sweating profusely, Wang Gangquan asked in surprise.

"Brother Wang, the research on the new steel material has been successful, and it has passed various tests."

Hearing this, Wang Gangquan couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. Looking at the other party's anxious appearance, he thought that the ordnance factory had exploded. It was only a matter of time before the new steel research was successful. Wang Gangquan still had great confidence in Liu Luming. He has been researching for more than half a year now, so it should There are results.

"Let's go and have a look." Wang Gingquan's casual answer made Liu Luming somewhat disappointed.

The two went to the ordnance station and went straight to the research and development department.The R&D department covers an area comparable to the warehouse of the Ordnance Institute. Not only R&D is carried out here, but also steel smelting and musket firing are carried out. In addition, there is even a test of the power of gunpowder.

Liu Luming picked up a matchlock gun and handed it to Wang Bingquan. Since it was still in the testing stage at this time, the matchlock gun only replaced the barrel with a newly developed high-strength iron tube, and the handle part was slightly optimized, and the rest remained the same as before. almost.

Wang Gangquan picked up the firecracker without a front sight and aimed it at the target in front of him. Liu Luming helped him light the matchlock. A few seconds later, with a loud noise, the projectile directly shot a hole in the opposite target. The recoil was so great that Wang Quanquan Shoulder numb.

"I rely on!"

As Wang Gingquan's cultivation base deepened, this little recoil naturally wouldn't hurt him, but even if it was just numbness in his shoulders, it was enough to show the power of the firecracker.

Seeing that the other party's originally calm expression finally changed, Liu Luming, who had been secretly observing, became complacent.

"Did you put too much gunpowder on purpose?" Wang Bingquan looked at Liu Luming who was beside him.

"That's impossible, I put in a normal amount." Liu Luming explained, but his eyeballs were dishonestly rolling around.

Naturally, Wang Gangquan would not believe his nonsense. This kid not only released more, but also released high-explosive gunpowder developed by himself. Wang Qingquan was not angry at all. He dared to do this because he had definitely tested it and knew that this amount was absolutely safe.

Picking up the barrel, Wang Gingquan looked it over carefully. The gleaming silver barrel was neither deformed nor cracked, and the surface was smooth without any potholes. Wang Gingquan nodded in satisfaction.

"Can a matchlock be changed into a flintlock?"

"Of course, this is only the first version. I will improve it later. I plan to add something for aiming on the barrel, and a device that can be fired by pulling the trigger, and then add a shoulder on the back. s things."

"You mean the sight, the mallet, and the butt?"

Liu Luming was taken aback for a moment, and then slapped his thigh, "Wonderful, Brother Wang! Every time I invent something, you can give it a perfect name, I really admire it!"

Wang Gangquan waved his hand: "I should admire you."

"No! I admire Brother Wang more."

"I admire you more."

……

The next morning, Wang Bingquan was discussing the details of the new musket with Liu Luming, when the court exploded.

Just at the early morning, a postman covered in dust rushed to the main hall and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! Ten thousand cavalry from the north captured the Shazhou Guard, and the chief general Fang Sinian was shot to death in front of the formation. At this moment, the North Turkistan army is heading towards Andingwei."

"What!?" There was a wave of waves immediately above the court, not for other reasons, but because Fang Sinian, the general stationed in Shazhou Guard, had a resounding nickname, "Xiao Li Guang". I knew that I was a good shooter, but it was surprising that the good shooter was shot to death in front of the battle.

"Who is the opponent's general?"

"Your Majesty, this is the new Great Khan of North Turkistan, Agudam."

"Agudamu?" It was the first time Wang Bingxian had heard of it.

At this time, a general stood up and explained Wang Bingxian's confusion: "Your Majesty, Agudam is the son of Harbala, the Great Khan of Beitu, and has been raised by Grand Master Mandu. Yue Gang died, and the position of Great Khan was handed over to Agudam."

Shazhou Guard is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it will take nearly four days to reach the capital even if he travels day and night. With the speed of the northern cavalry, I am afraid that he has already reached Andingwei by this time. The new emperor knows that it is not appropriate to delay at this time, Command, send Chijin Wei to go for reinforcements!"

"Report!" As soon as the order was issued, another postman rushed to the hall, "Report to Your Majesty, [-] Beitu cavalry are attacking the Chijin Guards, and the Chijin Guards are now in critical condition."

"Wow!" There was another commotion above the main hall. It is true that the Northern Turkistans are good at riding and shooting, but their cavalry combined is less than [-]. When the Dynasty Guard was established, it deliberately guarded against the Northern Turkistan cavalry, but if There are [-] iron cavalry coming, no matter how well protected they are, they will not be able to resist them.

"Who is the opposing general?"

"Your Majesty, it is Beitu Emperor Shi Mandu."
