Chapter 415: Test Fire Gun
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really didn't know what to celebrate about a wooden stick, especially when he saw the excited smile on Wei Ning's face.

This made him even more confused.

He didn't know why Wei Ning said it was a great weapon on the battlefield. How could it kill someone? The practicality is not as good as the knife, let alone the thunder.

Wei Ning smiled and explained to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Father, that's not how it is used."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a sip of tea and said casually: "How to use it?"

Wei Ning said: "Let's go to the back garden."

"Oh."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stood up, and two chamberlains followed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Weining to the back garden.

Wei Ning asked two chamberlains to bring two grass targets over.

Wei Ning led Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to stand three hundred steps away.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked in surprise: "Is it a bow or a crossbow? Does the range have such a long range?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also proficient in military affairs and knew that the range of ordinary crossbows was only between 100 and 200 steps. Now Weining was standing a full 300 steps away. How could this not surprise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

I was even more surprised at how this stick-like thing shot.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Wei Ning leisurely and said: "Please start your performance."

Weining: "..."

He thought for a while, sifted the gunpowder in the muzzle with an iron firing pin, filled it with gunpowder, then took aim, pointed it at the helm, and immediately pulled the trigger.

The banging sound frightened Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Not only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but also the two chamberlains around him looked tense and hurriedly stopped in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Go away!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pointed to the two chamberlains and said: "Come here, kill these two people!"

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment and looked at Emperor Wu of Han in confusion.

At this time, the imperial army had already come, pulling the two eunuchs and walking out.

The two eunuchs begged for mercy.

Wei Ning hurriedly interceded for the two chamberlains and said, "Father, what's wrong?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said coldly: "Do these two thieves think that my prince wants to harm me?"

It turned out to be this reason.

However, Wei Ning clearly felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's temper began to become a little moody.

But I don’t know what’s going on.

He hurriedly said: "Father, these two people are quite loyal. You are loyal to my father, so please spare them."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in a good mood today and said, "Did you hear that? Let them go."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty no longer paid attention to this matter. Instead, he lifted his robe and walked quickly towards the grass target.

A huge hole had been opened on the grass target, and even the wooden stick behind it had broken.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't help but gasped when he saw the wooden stick that was about as thick as his arm broken.

What would happen if this thing shot me?
Just thinking about this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly widened his eyes and quickly came to Weining's side.

"What is this?"

He no longer had the previous contempt, and his expression became extremely solemn.

This kind of weapon is much stronger than the crossbow. If it is equipped on the cavalry...or a special unit of this kind is trained and equipped with such a weapon.

The big man's military level has reached a new level!
The big man has been equipped with Thunder Thunder before, but the Thunder Thunder has a slow launch speed, and if not operated properly, it can easily explode before it is launched.

But this weapon is different.

Just pull the trigger to launch. It's easy to launch, and the distance is much further than Zhentian Lei!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Wei Ning excitedly, his eyes red, and asked: "Where did it come from?"

Wei Ning said: "I made it up blindly."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "..."

Do you call this a blind order?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked: "Can it be manufactured in batches?" Wei Ning said: "I plan to give it to the Academy of Sciences, and let the Academy of Sciences study how to manufacture it, and then let the Ministry of Industry produce it in batches."

"what?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment, looked at Wei Ning suspiciously, and said, "Didn't you make it yourself? Don't you know the production process?"

Weining was also stunned.

This……

He thought for a while and said: "Father, to be honest, I thought about this thing once in a dream, made it when I got up, and then...I forgot about it."

Although the reason was lame, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to believe it.

He looked at Wei Ning in shock and said, "Did you dream about it?"

"Who taught you this?"

Wei Ning said: "An old god...well, not really..."

Old fairy...

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty murmured, not listening to Weining's explanation at all.

Oops.

Wei Ning was shocked. He deceived Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in this way, and there was no other reasonable explanation. It was easy for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to believe that there were gods in this world again.

Otherwise, how could Weining make such a precise instrument?

He suddenly felt that he had done something very stupid today, but now it seemed that there was no way to undo it.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to Weining: "Take this thing to the Academy of Sciences and ask them to study it quickly. After researching it, let the Ministry of Industry rush to manufacture it and then equip it in northern Xinjiang."

Wei Ning said: "Father, I actually plan to deploy them to the Southeast Navy."

There is no risk of war in northern Xinjiang for the time being. The first batch of production will be equipped in the southeast first. This is Weining's plan.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded and said, "Okay, you go to the Academy of Sciences to study it first."

"it is good."

After Weining left, he looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty standing there in a daze, sometimes excited, sometimes excited, sometimes gritting his teeth, not knowing what decision he was making.

Weining sighed softly and quickly went to the Academy of Sciences.

After Wei Ning left, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also hurried towards the Wuliang Taoist Temple outside the palace.

Weining demonstrated how to fire a fire gun at the Academy of Sciences, which surprised Dade and others and made them unable to close their mouths.

A doctor who was proficient in firearms came out and said, "Your Highness, this...is using gunpowder as power?"

Wei Ning looked at him in surprise and said, "What's your name?"

"My second official."

Wei Ning remembered the name and said, "Yes, gunpowder is used as power."

"I leave this fire blunderbuss to you. You can take it apart and study it. Study it carefully. You must study how to make it later and the manufacturing process."

"Come back to me after you succeed."

Dade clasped his fists and said, "I obey the order."

After explaining the affairs of the Academy of Sciences, Weining walked back to the East Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the East Palace, Wang Hui, the Minister of War, asked to see him.

He did not see Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Weiyang Palace and said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was out on business, so he came to see Weining.

There was obviously something urgent.

Wei Ning had no time to ask about the whereabouts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he asked Wang Huidao: "What's urgent, Mr. Wang?"

If it was not an emergency, he could wait for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to return first, but he didn't, which shows that the matter is serious.

Wang Hui was silent for a moment and said to Wei Ning: "Your Highness, Huo Qubing has sent a letter to the Ministry of War."

"Southeast...something happened."

Weining's expression became serious and he said, "What did my cousin say?"

Wang Huidao: "The pirates in the southeast... have been found out. It is the governor of Kuaiji County and the prefect who colluded to send Han people to pretend to be pirates and plunder the villages!"
