The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Hardwood **** stock, typical flintlock gun, semi-closed rear compartment, front loading type, the length of the gun body is about 1.3 meters, plus a bayonet of 20 cm, the total length is about 1.5 meters, The overall weight is about 4.5 kilograms.

The bullet is still in the form of a lead shot, but it has been improved into a paper-shell package, and the amount of energizing and firing gunpowder has been allocated in advance, thus greatly increasing the filling speed.

Ordinary soldiers can shoot twice per minute, and skilled musketeers can increase to three or even four.

The effective killing range exceeds 250 meters, and the precise range is about 80 meters.

If left in the early eighteenth century, this can only be said to be a standard flintlock musket, and there is nothing surprising.

But now it is the beginning of the 15th century!

So there is no doubt that this is a powerful weapon that transcends the times!

Looking at the two hundred flintlocks in the warehouse, Sun Shaozong felt like opening the door to a new world. When the large-scale installation is completed, Da Zhou's military strength will undoubtedly rise to a higher level!

By then, it will not be a problem to dominate the barbarians without talking about sweeping away the wasteland and the Liuhe.

Putting the rifle in his hand back on the shelf cautiously, Sun Shaozong suddenly turned around and said straightforwardly: "Let’s talk about the situation before and after the case, and your speculations about this case, as long as it is related to this case. , Tell me everything!"

Sun Shaozong stared with scorching eyes, Gunpowder Bureau Supervisor Zhu Shan and Shenjiying Qianhu Lu Yuan, unconsciously, they were a bit inexplicable. This Master Sun had just looked so cold, how could he look at the new musket, suddenly Become fanatical?

But how did they know that Sun Shaozong, a traverser, saw the flintlocks in the early 18th century mass-produced on the land of China in the early 15th century, and the excitement and ecstasy in their hearts?

This kind of national weapon must not be allowed to escape!

If Sun Shaozong had just drove the ducks to the shelves before, he was full of motivation right now, wishing to get the two muskets back right away!

Although Zhu Shan and Lu Yuan were a little puzzled, since the imperial envoys had already spoken, the two naturally could only pour beans in a bamboo tube and talk about the whole thing.

After the successful imitation of this new type of musket, Emperor Guangde was very satisfied and personally named it "Megatron" and gave a generous favor to the gunpowder bureau.

The emperor Laozi pays so much attention to it, how dare others careless?

Therefore, after the start of small-scale mass production of this'megatron musket', it has been stored in the most heavily guarded Tianzi warehouse. In this Tianzi warehouse, only four people can enter and exit the gunpowder bureau at will.

Naturally, the three of them were Zhu Shan, Lu Yuan, and Luo Jing who was blocked by the door.

As for the fourth person, Du Ning, the deputy supervisor of the Gunpowder Bureau, has always been responsible for the storage and inspection of the warehouse.

In order to be foolproof, the deputy supervisor would go to the Tianzi warehouse every morning, noon, and evening to carry out a careful inventory, regardless of whether it was windy or rainy.

Yesterday evening, Du Ning went to the warehouse again as usual, but this time it was a surprisingly long time. He didn't see him coming out of the warehouse until Haishi [9pm].

The officers and soldiers guarding the warehouse felt weird and did not dare to enter and exit the Tianzhao warehouse at will, so they reported the incident to Lu Yuan.

After Lu Yuan heard about it, he naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurried to the warehouse to check. Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he found that Duning was lying in a pool of blood, with a bayonet in his heart, and a megatron on the shelf. There are also two sky-style muskets missing!

Several senior officials of the Gunpowder Bureau naturally did not dare to conceal such a big matter. After a simple discussion, they sent people to Beijing to report it overnight, and that's what happened today.

After listening to the general process, Sun Shaozong asked several questions in a row: "Is there any other places where I can enter and exit the warehouse? When Deputy Du Jian came in, were there anyone else to follow? The officers and soldiers guarding the warehouse, Is it reliable?"

Zhu Shan said hurriedly: "Tianzihao warehouses are usually places to store important items. In case of accidents, they also set up a special "earth listening" to prevent people from digging a tunnel to sneak in, so there will never be other entrances and exits!"

The so-called "earth listening" is actually to bury the water tank under the ground to monitor the sound of tunnel excavation. It is usually used in defense of the city to prevent surprise attacks.

Since this day's font-size warehouse even used "DiTing", it was obviously very well-protected.

Lu Yuan followed closely: "Because of the restrictions of regulations, Master Du went in alone every time for inventory checks. There have been no exceptions over the years."

After a pause, he said with a little uncertainty: "As for the soldiers guarding the Tianzhao warehouse, whether there is any problem or not, the humble job is really...it's really hard to be sure."

"Not sure?"

Sun Shaozong's complexion immediately sank, and he questioned dissatisfiedly: "You are the highest-ranking military attache in this place. The soldiers on duty and night patrol are all assigned by you. How dare you say'not sure'?"

"This...this this..."

The fat on Lu Yuan trembled a few times, and finally stomped his feet: "Now that it’s up to the present, the humble job is no longer concealed. Let’s just say it straight. In fact, after the accident, the few of us have the most private The suspect is the remaining party of Prince Yizhong!"

The remnant party of Prince Yizhong?

Why is this related to Prince Yizhong again?

Seeing Sun Shaozong's expression of doubt, Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "The adults may not know something. From the beginning of the Taishang Emperor's first conquest of Goryeo, until the summer of the third year of Guangde, the military supervisor was actually in the hands of Prince Yizhong. "

"And this Gunpowder Bureau, because Prince Yizhong tried his best to promote it, has the situation it is today."

"At that time, Prince Yizhong's long-sleeved dance was quite confidant..."

It turns out that in the initial conquest of Goryeo, in addition to the light soldiers rushing into the enemy's ambush, the quality of the equipment in the army is worrying, and it is even far less than the use of the Koreans, which is also one of the reasons for the defeat.

Therefore, Prince Yizhong, who was quite princely at the time, proposed himself to be a military inspector and launched drastic reforms.

In the following eight years, he not only led the improvement of many manufacturing processes, unified and refined measurement units, but also ‘invented’ assembly line operations, which caused a qualitative change in the entire military equipment supervision period during his control.

The spring steel used on new firearms today is one of the important results of smelting with new technology at that time.

It was precisely because of these accomplishments that Prince Yizhong had no prestige in the Military Equipment Supervisor at the time, and he gathered a lot of confidants in secret.

Although when he was detained two years ago, the military inspector had also carried out cleaning, but in order to ensure the normal operation of the military inspector, it is always difficult to catch it all at once, so there must be some fish that have slipped through the net.

Lu Yuan finally said helplessly: "Because the Shenji Camp is closely tied to the Gunpowder Bureau, quite a few people are deceived by it. Therefore, there is no guarantee of their humble position. These officers and soldiers must be fine."

Gee~

This prince Yizhong really did a lot of important things~www.readwn.com~ No wonder there are so many dead men who have been banned for more than a year and want to save him.

In contrast, myself, who is also a traverser, seems a bit...

Shaking his head slightly, leaving the inexplicable sense of shame behind him, Sun Shaozong asked again: "Among the officials of the Gunpowder Bureau, are there still people who were promoted by Prince Yizhong when he was in power?"

"It should be gone."

Zhu Shan and Lu Yuan shook their heads at the same time, and Zhu Shan further added: "In fact, starting from the summer of the third year in Guangde, officials in this gunpowder bureau began to gradually replace them. After Prince Yizhong was banned, originally The old man was almost uprooted."

"On the contrary, a group of officials at the bottom have left, and the craftsmen have not changed much, but they can't get close to the Tianzi warehouse.

Sun Shaozong repeatedly asked a few more questions, and felt that there was not much news that could be extracted. This led Lu Yuan to'please' out Du Ning's body and try to restore it to the appearance at the time, so as to conduct a more detailed investigation of the scene. .
