I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 241
In fact, it wasn't just Liu Baohe who was a little dazed holding the matchlock gun, even the craftsmen who participated in it were a little unbelievable.

In three days, in just three days, they made more than ten new muskets.

Someone couldn't help saying, "Master Young Prisoner? Shall we try its power?"

Liu Baohe didn't dare to directly report to Li Tian anything that hadn't been checked and tested.

However, within the imperial city, the only way to test the power of muskets is to go to the school grounds.

But in this way, wouldn't the matter of the new matchlock gun be exposed.

When he was in trouble, suddenly a little eunuch came to report,
"Master Young Supervisor, His Majesty sent someone to inquire. The new firecracker has been made."

Liu Baohe hurriedly put the musket, which had just been assembled and hadn't been tested, into a box and handed it to the little eunuch.

"You sent it to His Majesty yourself, saying that the military battle has been completed, but it has not been tested..."

Just after saying this, the little eunuch who came to pass the decree walked into the military battle bureau and said with a smile,

"No need, His Majesty ordered that after everything is assembled, send it directly to the school grounds, where His Majesty is waiting right now."

Liu Baohe's expression froze, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

Although he personally supervised the manufacture of several matchlock guns, every detail and every part has been inspected over and over again, and it stands to reason that there is absolutely no problem.

But without testing, he dare not say that everything is perfect.

At this time, he heard that Li Tian was actually going to inspect it himself, and he was a little panicked.

But when things came to an end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

After assembling all the remaining matchlock guns and putting them into the boxes prepared in advance, he rushed to the school grounds with his men and guns.

The military battle bureau and the training grounds of the Forbidden Army are not far away, even close neighbors, it is not an exaggeration.

After all, the Bingzhan Bureau is not only responsible for making the weapons and miscellaneous hardware and other things needed in the palace on weekdays, but also responsible for the repair of weapons for the imperial army.

Although the distance was not far, Liu Baohe was still sweating profusely.

From a distance, Li Tian, ​​accompanied by Jiang Bao and Wang Fu, was talking to some people who looked like generals.

He saw Liu Baohe and others coming over with wooden boxes.

With a smile on the corner of Li Tian's mouth, he said to Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu,
"They're here!"

The two people behind Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu were Wu Yuanbo Zhu Rong and Wu Kezhong, who were called back to the capital by Li Tian's imperial edict.

Originally, Li Tian planned to go to Tiangongyuan to see the progress of matches and soap after the morning court.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yong and Wu Kezhong, who had returned to the capital for two or three days, went crazy and jointly asked for an interview.

Even though they didn't say anything yet, Li Tian somewhat guessed what they meant by begging to see him.

It was nothing more than pleading guilty and testing his determination to investigate the Tianxia Wei.

In fact, it was not the two of them's turn to ask Li Tian about this matter, especially Zhu Yong, who was still guilty of a crime at this time, let alone qualified.

But as soon as Li Tian thought that Guo Wenyu's corruption case had been going on for so many days, and it was time to finish it, he simply called Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu together.

It just so happened that the little eunuch who had been secretly monitoring and observing the progress of the military battle reported that the new matchlock gun had been cast.

He brought a few people to the school field together.

He didn't intend to say anything to them at the beginning. During the waiting process, the generals were also very disturbed and didn't understand Li Tian's intentions.

At this time, seeing a group of craftsmen and eunuchs coming over with a dozen wooden boxes, I was even more puzzled.

Liu Baohe, who was still far away, knelt down on the ground holding the wooden box,
"Your Majesty, fortunately, the slave did not disgrace his life. The new firecracker has been forged."

When the generals heard that what they were holding was actually a firecracker, they were immediately stunned.

In their expectation, no matter what new weapons the imperial court develops, it is generally led by the Ministry of War, and then forged by the firearms bureau.

What new weapons were born in the imperial court, these generals actually knew about them earlier than the emperor.

But it never occurred to Li Tian that he bypassed everyone and found someone to build the thing himself.

However, although they were surprised, they never paid attention to the things created by the Inner Court War Bureau.

In fact, whether it is a civil servant or a general, they all look down on the eunuchs in the inner court.

If they were to create something earth-shattering, they wouldn't believe it even if they were killed.

laughed secretly,

"What good things can a group of eunuchs make? Your Majesty is making fun of us."

"Hehe, maybe they really came up with something good.

After all, those bastards have nothing to do except intrigue every day. "

Li Tian had already guessed that they might have this expression.

With a faint smile, he said to Liu Baohe and the others,

"Liu Baohe, these generals of mine don't seem to believe it. What useful things can you create? Why don't you show them yourself!"

Unlike other eunuchs, Liu Baohe entered the palace late and matured early, and was rarely influenced by the character of the eunuchs in the palace.

There is still a lot of youthful blood in his character.

The things he worked so hard to supervise are not recognized and looked down upon by others. If he said that there is no disturbance in his heart, he himself would not believe it.

With a serious expression on his face, he saluted Li Tian respectfully,
"As ordered!"

With a snap, he stood up straight, and calmly took out the new matchlock gun from the box.

According to Li Tian's guidance, use the fixed ammunition method to fill the musket, after compacting the lead pellets with a cleaning rod.

He took the torch from the hand of the craftsman beside him and lit the match.

Gently put your finger on the trigger, waiting for Li Tianxia's order.

Whether it was Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, or Zhu Rong and Wu Kezhong, after seeing this new firecracker, they couldn't help but put away their original intention to watch a joke.

They are all battle-tested warriors, and they can more or less tell whether a firecracker is useful or not.

His face gradually changed from relaxed to dignified.

Li Tian was very satisfied when he saw that his movements were smooth and smooth, as if he had practiced countless times beforehand.

Said to him very confidently,
"Go ahead and let the generals see the power of this thing."

With Li Tian's permission, Liu Baohe no longer hesitated.

The trigger in his hand was lightly pulled, and it was shaped like a chicken head, and the hammer with the slow-burning matchlock was slammed into the medicine pool.

Instantly ignite the gunpowder in the medicine pool.

A puff of green smoke burst out from the gap in the medicine pond.

Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening crisp blasting sound.

A bright flame burst out from the muzzle, which was twice as thick as a thumb and more than one meter long.
