The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 201: Ministers, please study this thing

In the capital's martial arts arena, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides. Their eyes were filled with surprise as they looked at the black murder weapons placed in the open space between them.

Even a few steps away, they could feel the coldness coming from this murderous weapon.

This divine weapon is extremely exquisite, even better than before. The two captured Stove King's magic weapons are much more exquisite.

I didn't expect that the emperor could actually get such a magical weapon from the Kitchen King.

Now in the martial arts arena, they really want to see how this magical weapon can give mortals the power to defeat thousands of armies.

Or it can kill people accurately from hundreds or even thousands of steps away.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The eunuch shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Long live my emperor, long live, long live.”

"No need to be polite, this thing is called a Maxim machine gun. I'm here today to ask you to see if you have seen anything like this in your territory."

"Maxin, this name seems a bit like a name that can only be called in our country," a man with blond hair, blue eyes and a hooked nose said while looking at the Maxim machine gun.

In order to verify his thoughts, he specially invited some friends from outside this time.

"This thing is called a Maxim machine gun."

"I just don't know what the Kitchen King's magical weapon that can kill enemies from a very long distance will look like."

They were also very curious about this magical weapon, especially the military generals. Their martial arts were worth the best. Not only one was worth a hundred, but at least one was worth ten.

"Maxine machine gun, what a weird name."

All officials bowed.

"But how should this thing be used?"

Emperor Chongzhen said that he had not tested the Maxim machine gun, but the person who stole the Maxim machine gun and lurked in the camp was here, so there should be no mistakes.

"Dear Emperor."

Emperor Chongzhen said slowly.

Emperor Chongzhen said slowly.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we have indeed never seen such a magical thing."

The ministers and generals discussed one after another.

"Yes, it makes us want to go up and give it a try to see how powerful this legendary magic weapon is."

After all these foreign friends had retreated, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to these ministers.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to the discussion of the ministers below and nodded secretly in his heart. When he first heard the name Maxim Heavy Machine Gun, his first reaction was that it was very similar to the name of a foreigner.

These foreigners did not know about the Maxim machine gun.

The foreign friends held their chests and saluted. These people had stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a while and spoke poor Mandarin.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this.

Then several foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes walked into the martial arts arena. They seemed not to be formal, and all their eyes fell on the Maxim machine gun in the open space.

Emperor Chongzhen walked between them and sat on the dragon chair in the stands.

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes flashed with surprise, and at the same time he also felt a little emotional. This is the Kitchen King's magic weapon. He finally got it. This kind of magic weapon that can defeat thousands of armies is a pity. There is only one like this right now.

It seems that we can only place our hopes on the intelligence of the ministers or the craftsmen.

"This thing requires two people to operate it. Killing people is like cutting ears of wheat with a scythe. Come, but we don't know how to operate it yet. Bring it with you."

"This Maxim machine gun belongs to the Stove King's magic weapon, which can give mortals the ability to defeat thousands of troops."

Some people think of those foreigners with weird names. Looking at the name of this Mark Star machine gun, it is somewhat similar to the names of foreigners.

"Yeah, it sounds like a foreign weapon."

But their martial arts are all honed, and the Kitchen God's magic weapon can instantly give ordinary people the strength to rival thousands of armies.

"I humble myself to meet the emperor."

"I didn't expect it to be this thing. It can give mortals the ability to defeat thousands of armies."

"My dear friends, what is placed among you is the Kitchen King's magic weapon."

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked at these foreign friends with a slightly expectant look, hoping that they would be able to say something about knowing this thing, so that the threat of the Stove King would be directly reduced by several levels.

The eunuch shouted at the top of his lungs.

He even wondered for a time whether Kitchen God's things were found by foreigners?

Moreover, as the Kitchen King's battles increased, his power and wealth increased, and orphans had a steady stream of magical soldiers emerging for the Kitchen King's use.

Several foreign friends communicated and confirmed that none of them had seen the so-called Mark King machine gun.

These are the only two types of magic weapons that the Kitchen King is currently well-known for.

"My friends from outside are here!"

Several foreign friends looked at each other after listening to Emperor Chongzhen's words.

His eyes first swept over the civil and military officials, and then. His eyes rested on the divine weapon in the middle.

A group of ten people knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.

"If you are successful in getting the magic weapon, you will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred taels."

Emperor Chongzhen said that these people had made great contributions by stealing the Maxim machine gun.

Naturally, he is not stingy with rewards.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ten people said in unison.

The surrounding ministers looked at these people. They didn't know when the emperor sent the troops.

"Can you control this thing?"

Emperor Chongzhen asked.

These people were lying undercover in that team, so they must be able to use this magic weapon.

The soldiers kneeling on the ground looked at each other, and finally the leader kneeling in the middle spoke.

"Back to the emperor, we have never seen Geng Zhangguang use this magic weapon since we ambush Geng Zhangguang's team. Therefore, we cannot guarantee whether we can control this magic weapon."

They had no choice but to tell the truth. After all, they never saw anyone using this magic weapon along the way.

The magic weapon is usually placed in the car and is rarely seen.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly when he heard this, but he thought for a moment that these people were also responsible for bringing the magic weapon.

He didn't want to be punished for this, "It doesn't matter, the Kitchen King's men who use the magic weapons are also mortals. You should be able to find a way to use them after some exploration."

"Let's try it."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, and soldiers immediately lifted up the magic weapon and placed it on the martial arts field.

Two hundred steps away from the magic weapon, there are dummies made of straw.

Emperor Chongzhen had prepared these things early.

"As ordered."

The emperor's order was difficult, and the ten people had no choice but to comply. When they came to the magic weapon, the ministers stood not far behind and watched. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't hold it any longer. He walked down from the stand and stood not far behind the Maxim machine gun.

If you want to imitate the Maxim machine gun first, you must first master the skills of using the Maxim machine gun. If you don't even know how to use it, how can you imitate it?

"Head, how do you use this thing?"

Wang Wei looked at the Maxim machine gun in front of him. The comrades beside him heard questioning voices, and a look of helplessness and bitterness appeared on his face.

This Maxim machine gun looks so huge, how easy is it to use it?

In such a big place, there must be some clever mechanisms.

"Let's explore. There must be a switch. Be careful and hold on to the front." Wang Wei pointed to the dark hole in front of the Maxim machine gun.

Although he didn't know how to use the new Mark machine gun, Wang Wei could guess that the place where the Maxim machine gun was used to kill the enemy was in the small hole.

They were groping around here. It would be bad if they accidentally triggered this magical weapon and injured the surrounding princes and ministers.

"how?"

Seeing these people groping up and down with the Maxim machine gun, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but ask from behind.

This magic weapon won't be damaged by these people, right? If he was fumbled by these people, it would be almost impossible to obtain the Maxim machine gun again while Zao Wang was on guard.

If such a consequence really occurs, it will be difficult to make up for the loss by killing these people.

"For the record, Your Majesty, I believe that the Maxim machine gun should be similar to a fire gun, so it must have a triggering device."

Wang Wei turned around and said, "Moreover, the triggering device should be easy to trigger, otherwise it would be impossible for ordinary mortals to have the ability to defeat thousands of armies."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought about it and suddenly felt that what this man said made sense. This Maxon machine gun should be something similar to a firecracker.

"very good."

He nodded and immediately stopped urging. Since these people have their own ideas, that's fine. I'm afraid these people don't understand anything and are here to deceive others and pretend to understand.

After about half a stick of incense, Wang Wei finally found a movable device under the Maxim machine gun.

After some attempts, it was indeed possible to trigger and fire like a fire bolt.

"Your Majesty, this thing should be the mechanism of this magic weapon. It is similar to the trigger of a crossbow. An ordinary person only needs to tap lightly, and something capable of tearing apart thousands of troops will be ejected from the muzzle in front. .”

Wang Wei said with some excitement.

"it is good!"

Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, "If you can really get a big reward from me!"

Isn't this the moment he was looking for?

Let the Kitchen King's magical weapons be used by the Ming Dynasty, and show the edge of the Ming Dynasty in the hands of his soldiers.

The surrounding princes and ministers also stared at this magic weapon intently.

Emperor Chongzhen took a few steps forward to get closer.

He stared at Wang Wei's hand that was gradually reaching out towards the mechanism, his heart already in his throat. He had never been so nervous when questioning Wei Zhongxian.

The pressure put on him by the Kitchen King was too strong. It could be called the theory of ghosts and gods, subverting the sages' books he had read since childhood.

"Click."

Wang Wei suddenly pulled the trigger, and the men around him held the barrel of the Maxim machine gun with solemn expressions.

However, nothing happened. At this time, there was even a breeze blowing and a leaf floated up.

"Ok?"

Wang Wei's heart suddenly sank, and then he pulled the trigger several times in succession. "Click, click, click," this feeling should be where the mechanism of the Maxim machine gun is used.

Why doesn't anything spurt out from the muzzle after pulling the trigger?

"This shouldn't be like this!"

Wang Wei's face was ashen.

Emperor Chongzhen's heart also sank, these people failed.

"what happened."

"If we go back to the emperor, this should be where the mechanism is, but there is no response when I pull it. This subordinate doesn't know what to do."

Wang Wei reported truthfully, this was already the naked reality before the emperor.

Making excuses will only make your death worse.

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the ministers around him and said, "Xu Guangqi, you said."

Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Chongzhen looked to the side of the man who was staring intently at the Maxim machine gun.

If the Maxim machine gun is similar to a firearm, then Xu Guangqi is dealing with firearms.

Xu Guangqi paid special attention to the manufacture of artillery. He made many suggestions and continued to research, hoping to introduce artillery manufacturing technology. Xu Guangqi also explored the application of firearms in practice, the cooperation between firearms and urban defense, firearms and siege, and the cooperation between firearms and infantry and cavalry. Xu Guangqi wrote various regulations and codes such as "Hundred-Character Selection and Training", "Selection and Training Rules", "Art Training Rules", "Shuwu Rules", "Form and Name Rules", "Fire Attack Strategy", "Gunpowder Production Method" and so on. It is an earlier batch of regulations and codes in modern my country.

At present, in the entire Ming Dynasty, perhaps he is the only one who can figure out how to use this magic weapon.

"Your Majesty, according to what I saw, these people did not guess wrong. That should be the location where the Maxim machine gun was fired."

Xu Guangqi pointed to where Wang Wei's finger was and said.

"Oh? Then why no response," Emperor Chongzhen asked.

"From what I can see, there should be something missing."

Xu Guangqi raised his hands and said, his voice was very sure, and he had even guessed what the Maxim machine gun was.

"What?"

"ammunition."

Xu Guangqi raised his head, his eyes sparkling.

He was certain that the Maxim machine gun was short of ammunition.

"I believe that this object should be similar to a blunderbuss and an artillery. They both need to be loaded with ammunition before they can be used to kill the enemy."

Xu Guangqi said slowly.

Emperor Chongzhen was keenly aware of the subtext in Xu Guangqi's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean, this is also a kind of firearm?"

"Yes, the fire gun can only be fired ten or twenty steps at first. It can only be fired once. Even soldiers with extremely rich combat experience cannot fire it multiple times within a period of time. Then, the fire gun shoots farther and farther. Reloading is becoming more and more convenient, and there are even repeating fire guns.”

"Artillery is also improving."

"I think this Maxim machine gun should be a more advanced blunderbuss or artillery."

Xu Guangqi said with a smile.

"Good good."

Emperor Chongzhen said three good words with a look on his face, which was enough to show how excited he was. These words also meant some kind of magical weapon, some kind of magical weapon transformed by the Stove King.

They are just more advanced firearms. Just as the Liao people lagged behind the Ming Dynasty in firearms, the Ming Dynasty also lagged behind the Kitchen King in firearms.

Rather than the power of gods, it is difficult for humans to do it!
