King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 67
[Easter egg at the end of the chapter, released the current situation of the overhead world, that is, a map, you can take a look~]

When we came to the school grounds, it was blocked, and there were only a few guards inside, all of whom were old acquaintances of Zhu Jinghong.

"I've seen Lord Thirteen!"

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly take out the things and let me see!"

In fact, Zhu Jinghong had already seen the boxes containing the firecrackers, and there were seven boxes at the scene.

He opened the box on the far left, and there was a black lacquer spear inside, and Zhu Jinghong picked it up.

"The Thirteenth Master has good eyesight. This is the best firecracker at the moment. It is only installed in large numbers in the guards' army. It seems to be called... a self-propelled gun!"

Hou Jing, who was born in Xiuguo's mansion, introduced it in time, showing off his lack of knowledge.

The so-called self-propelled guns are actually flintlock guns, which are indeed advanced weapons at present. The only disadvantage is the high cost.

Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "Is there any bullets, let me shoot twice!"

Of course there are no bullets.

Although the flintlock is an advanced weapon, there is a risk of explosion after all. No one dared to let Zhu Jinghong take the risk, so they didn't prepare bullets at all.

At this time, Hou Jing shrank away tactfully, so Lu Yuxin could only reply: "Master Thirteen, I really didn't find the bullet!"

"is it?"

Having been with this group of people for a long time, Zhu Jinghong could easily see that they were lying, but he didn't point it out.

He also has difficulties. Being able to find these things is already effective, so why should he be aggressive.

Putting down the gun in his hand, Zhu Jinghong opened another box, and the gun inside was similar in shape to the previous one.

"Master Thirteen, this is also a self-propelled gun!"

He lifted it up and glanced twice, Zhu Jinghong pulled the trigger, and after hearing a "pop"... nothing happened.

So he opened the other boxes, and the guns inside were generally similar in shape and felt similar in hand.

It wasn't until he opened the fourth box that the structure of the gun inside was obviously different, especially there was a matchlock inside the box.

Zhu Jinghong was very impressed with this thing. "Bibala" Zhao Jingzhong used it in the movie of his previous life. At that time, he thought it was not very easy to use.

And from the fourth box, the guns behind are all this kind of arquebus. According to Hou Jing, this is the main force of the current equipment.

Both the Beijing camp and the local guards were equipped with matchlock guns in large numbers.

"Yuxin..."

"Please give orders from Lord Thirteen!"

"Where did you get these things?"

Lu Yuxin smiled, and replied: "Master Thirteen, I borrowed it from Jingying and Zhenjiang Wei!"

Since it was borrowed, it had to be repaid, and Zhu Jinghong understood the meaning.

"Get some more ammunition, let's go out of town to hunt sometime!"

"This..." Lu Yuxin looked troubled.

Immediately afterwards, he knelt on the ground and replied: "Master Thirteen, it's not because I don't disobey orders, it's really dangerous with firearms, if I'm not careful, my chest will explode, hurting Lord Thirteen... I can't redeem my life!"

With the current level of craftsmanship, it is really not a small probability event that the chamber explodes. Of course, if it does explode, it is only an injury, and it is extremely rare to lose one's life because of it.

"Master Thirteen, I dare not play tricks on this matter!" Hou Jing also begged for mercy.

Zhang Lin and the others followed suit, seeing that they had really made things difficult for them, Zhu Jinghong gave up his thoughts.

Having seen the musket, Zhu Jinghong came up with a new idea.

"Cannons in the army, can you get them?"

Good guy, you still don't feel satisfied with guns, now you want to play artillery again?
Exploding muskets only hurts people, but exploding cannons can really kill people, and the people present dare to answer the question.

But as a time traveler, Zhu Jinghong is very aware of the role of firearms in the future. Of course, Zhu Jinghong is very concerned about this in order to prevent Daming from following in the footsteps of Qing Dynasty.

"Don't worry, I'm just watching, and I won't let you fire!" Zhu Jinghong was persuasive.

Then everyone was fooled by him, and all of them lowered their heads and did not answer, but Zhu Jinghong was helpless.

"Don't talk, right...then let's practice wrestling today!" Zhu Jinghong clenched his fists.

To practice wrestling with him, it was a unilateral beating, and I had to lie in bed for two days after the practice.

Zhang Lin was the most impatient, and immediately replied: "The people in the Guoyong camp should have artillery!"

I came to Jinling with Zhu Jingyuan from the two capitals of Jingying, Yangwei Camp and Guoyong Camp respectively. Yangwei Camp is cavalry and Guoyong Camp is infantry.

People from the Yangwei camp were sent to the front line, while the Guoyong camp remained in Yingtian, stationed around the Xinggong.

"Then let's go and have a look now!" Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice.

Hou Jing immediately replied: "The Guoyong camp has artillery, but they didn't bring it with them when they came here. Instead, they asked Jinling to purchase it on the spot. I'm afraid it hasn't arrived yet!"

"It's exactly...how did I forget this!" Zhang Lin immediately made amends.

"You won't lie to me, will you?" Zhu Jinghong looked suspicious.

"How dare the ministers deceive the Thirteenth Master!" Hou Jing replied immediately.

However, before he could ask any more questions, he saw the eunuch Yu Hai trot over and told him that Young Master He was asking to see him.

"He Jiayan? Who is this person!" Hou Jing couldn't help asking.

Yu Hai then explained: "It's the son of the Jinling Inspector's family!"

Sitting on a chair beside him, Zhu Jinghong picked up his teacup and said, "Bring him here!"

"Yes!"

After a while, He Jiayan rushed over with a happy face, and directly gave Zhu Jinghong a knock.

"See Lord Thirteen!"

"Don't be too polite, get up!"

"Thank you Thirteen Lord!"

"The things you sent last time were very good, why did you come here this time?" Zhu Jinghong asked casually.

"The students came here this time to invite the Thirteenth Master to a banquet. All the young talents in Jinling are looking forward to seeing the Thirteenth Master's face!"

All the young talents in Jinling were almost offended by Zhu Jinghong. Would they look forward to having a banquet with him?
The so-called young talent would be more aptly described by Gao Liang Wan Hakama.

"is it?"

He Jiayan said with a smile: "I also ask the thirteenth master to show you face!"

"Is he serious at your banquet?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile.

"Serious, of course serious, the best theater troupe in Jinling, and the one who sings the best songs by Ying Tian, ​​I have invited you all!"

"The singer of Cuiyuexuan, the famous actress of Chasing Moon Boat, there are all delicious and fun things!"

Hearing these words, Hou Jing and the others all stared wide-eyed, feeling that He Jiayan was thick-skinned enough to open his eyes and speak nonsense without blushing.

Of course, they also admire He Jiayan for being brave enough to take Zhu Jinghong to play with them, and they are not afraid of spreading the word to the capital.

"I've never heard of these things. Tell me about them carefully!" Zhu Jinghong looked blank.

Hou Jing and the others were even more surprised. The Thirteenth Lord is not bad at telling nonsense. Who was it that made a fuss about going to the Qinhuai River a few days ago?
After He Jiayan's explanation, Zhu Jinghong's face disappeared, and he looked around and said, "It sounds interesting, ha~"

Hou Jing and others laughed a few times, but did not comment on this.

Embarrassed, Zhu Jinghong said happily, "Since you have kindly invited me, I would be rude if I don't go, so... let's go and have a look!"

He Jiayan immediately smiled when he heard Zhu Jinghong's agreement, and he finally completed the task.

Others didn't speak, so Hou Jing, who was the leader of the team, could only speak: "Thirteen Lord, going out of the palace is no small matter, I'm afraid I have to report to the crown prince!"

Zhu Jinghong stood up and said, "Of course I will tell fourth brother!"

He was not afraid that Zhu Jingyuan would disagree, because as long as Gao Shuyan was by his side, the old fellow would make the prince agree.

Asuka is doing his best to hide his bow...Zhu Jinghong complained for himself.

But are the birds really exhausted?Zhu Jinghong disagreed.

What's more, there is an old saying that if you don't have the opportunity to create an opportunity, you can make it. Now Zhu Jinghong needs to wait for the opportunity.
