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

Chapter 202 Pulling down the altar

The princes and ministers are not fools. From the founding of the country to the present more than two hundred years ago, even the generals are as good as human beings.

Now Xu Guangqi has almost made it clear that the Kitchen King is an ordinary person, and the magical weapons under his hands are also ordinary weapons, but they are not ordinary compared to the current Ming Dynasty, and are ahead of the Ming Dynasty, similar to the fact that the Ming Dynasty is ahead of the Liao people in terms of firearms.

Kitchen King, this "person" that threatened the Ming Dynasty far more than the Liao people, now, just because of Xu Guangqi's words, the threat has dropped to a level directly.

After all, the gap between humans can still be caught up, but the gap between humans and gods is no longer something human beings can do.

"Can we make ammunition for this thing?" Emperor Chongzhen asked, pointing at Maxim.

"Let me take a look," Xu Guangqi said.

"Please, dear, please, this magic weapon will stay with you," Emperor Chongzhen quickly made a gesture of invitation. This matter is of great importance. If Xu Guangqi can successfully produce ammunition to match the Maxim machine gun, it will prove that, Xu Guangqi might be able to defend the gap between Ming Dynasty and the rogue bandits.

The Kitchen King's magic weapons were only taken out bit by bit, probably because of limited financial and manpower constraints, which gave them the illusion that the Kitchen King was gradually becoming stronger.

If it could be reproduced, with the national power of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be easy to make up for the gap with the Kitchen King?

Xu Guangqi took a square step and came to the Maxim machine gun. He never took his eyes away from this powerful and exquisite weapon.

His posture was naturally very low.

Although Xu Guangqi was not good at dealing with people, he could still hear Emperor Chongzhen's trust in him. It was hard to handle the emperor's fate and the emperor's favor was hard to bear. Xu Guangqi bowed uprightly and said, "Your Majesty, I cannot guarantee that I can use this firearm." For the sacrifice of completely replicating it, I can only say that I am willing to devote the rest of my life to studying this thing."

"Xu Aiqing, I will give you craftsmen and gold and silver. Can you try your best to reproduce this thing?"

Although Xu Guangqi has extraordinary intelligence and a high understanding of firearms, there is a word called "limitations of the times." If Einstein was born a few centuries ago, he would not be able to The discovery of the theory of relativity, although it is possible to come up with a discovery that transcends the times, it is absolutely impossible to surpass it by much.

Emperor Chongzhen was moved. If all his ministers could be as good as this man, how could his Ming Dynasty prosper?

Xu Guangqi is a scientific researcher, and his words are a little more straightforward, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Stove King's firearm allows a mortal to defeat thousands of armies. I speculated that this firearm should be able to fire dozens of rounds in succession. Hundreds, I have also heard that the range of this object is far more than two hundred steps. Therefore, the fine iron used in this object is difficult to reproduce in the Ming Dynasty, and the difference is difficult to estimate."

If he had trusted Yue Fei in Yue Fei's time, Yue Fei would not have died unjustly. Instead, he would have led the Song Dynasty to greatness, expelled the Tartars, restored the country, and revived the Han Dynasty.

"It's made of fine iron, so ingenious," Xu Guangqi couldn't help but sigh. The casting process of this gun barrel alone is beyond the reach of the Ming Dynasty.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt a little bad in his heart. This feeling of ups and downs of hope was unacceptable to anyone, let alone the emperor of a huge empire. Xu Guangqi's words were tantamount to saying that even with the power of the whole country, the Ming Dynasty could not The ingenuity of the Kitchen King cannot close the gap with the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen also trusted him very much and gave him great power.

Emperor Chongzhen asked eagerly.

Just like Yang Sichang, the son of Yang He, Emperor Chongzhen believed that this person had no partisanship and was dedicated to serving the country and the people. He gave Emperor Chongzhen the impression that he was a talented man who could be used and that he was a loyal and capable minister.

"How, the Kitchen King's magical weapons are ahead of my Ming Dynasty's firearms."

Today, the firearm cannot be fired. The ministers are watching the rise of a favorite of Emperor Chongzhen. They have no way to suppress it. After all, this person is too special. Emperor Chongzhen is counting on this person to create the Stove King. Firearms, Ming Dynasty is counting on such a person to make them unless they wait until this person fails to make them, but they will not need to do it at that time.

At the moment, to Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi was a talent who was not affiliated with any party and devoted himself to studying firearms.

Xu Guangqi's guess was similar to what was shown. Although the Ming Dynasty's firearms were leading in the world, in the face of cross-century technology such as the Maxim machine gun, the Ming Dynasty still seemed a little inadequate.

He studied firearms, and this exquisite Maxim machine gun clearly attracted him. Xu Guangqi stretched out his hand and felt the cold touch of the Maxim machine gun.

During Emperor Chongzhen's tenure, although officials were replaced very quickly and it was difficult for the officials under him to do their job. He was headstrong and suspicious in employing people. However, he still had great trust in the talents he recognized. For the talents he trusted, it was An eternal Ming army.

With Emperor Chongzhen's character, there was no need for them to speak. As long as Xu Guangqi failed and was determined to be unable to produce the magic weapon that Chongzhen wanted, Emperor Chongzhen would naturally beat Xu Guangqi to the end.

It's a pity that Yang Sichang was not a useful talent. He unjustly killed many truly capable ministers.

Emperor Chongzhen's posture was very low.

Xu Guangqi's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly noticed the strange hole on the other side of the magic weapon, as well as the seemingly extra tools of the snake.

He quickly came to the side of the divine weapon, and then groped up and down.

"It's filled with water," Xu Guangqi said with a look of surprise on his face.

"What a genius idea," Xu Guangqi couldn't help but sigh.

He turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, this thing is irrigated with water. When the fire gun is fired, the barrel of the gun will be very hot. Therefore, after firing several times, it needs to be cooled down. And this thing actually contains water storage." When firing, cool it with water so that it can be fired multiple times without damaging the barrel. A genius idea."

Xu Guangqi explained to Emperor Chongzhen, and at the end he couldn't help but praise.

Then he pointed to another place, which was similar to an irregular hole, "Your Majesty, this should be the place where gunpowder is filled, but the shape is a little strange."

Xu Guangqi frowned. The shape of this place was a little strange and looked a bit flat. However, Daming's projectiles were round. He had never thought of this flat shape. After all, the barrel of a fire gun was also round. shape.

Xu Guangqi walked around to the front of the artifact and took a closer look at the barrel. It was also round.

"Magic, genius," Xu Guangqi couldn't help but sigh.

He could think of using such a strange shape to fill gunpowder, but Xu Guangqi didn't understand why not use a circle. The sky is round and the place is round, shouldn't the round shape fit the gun chamber better?

After all, the gun bore is also round.

He could think of things related to aerodynamics. The bullet was also round, but the lower column was cylindrical and the front tip was streamlined.

Emperor Chongzhen's face darkened. Almost every word Xu Guangqi said was that the gap between the Ming Dynasty's firearms and the Stove King was too big, but Emperor Chongzhen trusted him more, so he would not be flattery or good at words. Those who study with concentration are naturally the ministers of the world.

Emperor Chongzhen already knew about it, and now it is estimated that this firearm will not be able to show its edge in front of the ministers. Xu Guangqi's words are also encouraging others to have ambitions and destroy his own prestige. Emperor Chongzhen is not willing to listen more. After praising Xu Guangqi, Emperor Chongzhen continued. Approval of memorials.

"Master Xu, whether the Ming Dynasty can defeat the Kitchen King depends on you."

Lai Zongdao came to Xu Guangqi with a smile. "My lord Miao Zan, I can only do my best," Xu Guangqi said with cupped hands. The surrounding ministers had already gathered around him. He is not good at talking, and he is not good at flattery.

After agreeing, he watched these people leave. He looked at the Maxim machine gun in front of him. This exquisite firearm was more attractive to Xu Guangqi than beauty.

"Even if you spend your whole life, if you can learn two or three of the subtleties of this thing, you will die without regrets." Xu Guangqi still retained some of what Emperor Chongzhen said. For divine weapons, the gap is still too big.

This is no longer something that can be accomplished in one generation.

If he could study twenty-three out of ten with all his life's efforts, he would be dead without regrets.

"Your Majesty, two beauties have been sent to the Kitchen King," Jiang Xin said while kneeling on the ground. He finally managed to seamlessly place the two beauties beside the Kitchen King.

But a lot of energy was wasted. Fortunately, he trained these two people early, otherwise there would be no suitable opportunity to send the beauty to the Kitchen King without any flaws this time.

"Has the Kitchen King noticed?"

Emperor Chongzhen leaned forward and asked.

Jiang Xin said very confidently, "Those two people and even her father's generation are all people placed by subordinates. They have lived in that village for more than ten years and there is no flaw at all. It is said that the Stove King loves the people, but he does not understand people's hearts. Yes, the assassin must have been a hindsight before, the two women did not reveal any flaws, even a person as smart as the Kitchen King would not be able to detect anything unusual."

Jiang Xin said, according to what Xu Guangqi said today, the Kitchen King is not a so-called immortal, and naturally does not have the ability to understand people's hearts. The assassin was probably discovered by the Kitchen King at the last moment.

Now if the two beauties were discovered by the Kitchen King, news should have come to them long ago.

There is no news yet, so the Kitchen King probably didn't notice anything unusual.

"Yes, that Kitchen King is a person who is close to women."

Emperor Chongzhen asked next.

"It was like this at that time. There were dozens of women around. Although the faces of the two women trained by his subordinates were obscured by the dust, like pearls on the dust, their figures still stood out from the crowd. The Kitchen King selected two women and selected two women from among the dozen people. , According to what I saw, the Stove King is still a womanizer, but because of the assassins, he is like a frightened bird, not daring to let people get close to him. "

"Very good. It's hard for an assassin to kill him. However, if you can control the Stove King in a place where women are three feet away from you, attack his heart, and capture his spirit, you will be successful."

Emperor Chongzhen stared at Jiang Xin and said, now all the plans to deal with the Stove King are getting clearer and clearer. The Stove King was pulled down from the immortal pedestal by Xu Guangqi. Now, two beauties have been sent to the Stove King. They only need to find an opportunity and take one step. If you can eat the Kitchen King in one step, you might be able to capture the Kitchen King without spending a single soldier.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your subordinates will definitely urge them to take down the Stove King slowly."

Jiang Xin was not too excited. They are the most ruthless emperors, and the emperor's promises are the most worthless promises, because as long as you fail to do anything well, they will change their attitude in an instant and send you to the eighteenth level of hell.

"Kitchen King, get up and change your clothes."

Cuilan stood outside the door holding the clothes Liu Zhenhua needed to wear and said.

"Kitchen King, it's time to wash your face."

Aster stood on the other side, holding a washbasin and saying, with a white towel on the other wrist.

Liu Zhenhua looked at the two figures outside the door with sleepy eyes. These two people were much bolder than the previous two.

This made Liu Zhenhua a little wary. Although Henan people have always been bold and enthusiastic, for humans and gods, these two people should fear him. He is the image of a god in front of the world, but these two people are not afraid. he.

How dare you come so early and take the initiative to serve him.

Zhang Liang stood in front of the two women and said conscientiously, "You two, check."

He checked the two women as usual and found that there were no sharp objects. Then, Zhang Liang looked at the washbasin in Aster's hand. He picked up the washbasin and drank a few mouthfuls of water from it.

"Sha."

Zhang Liang wiped his mouth, then looked at the two women and smiled naively, "You two, don't mind."

"We admire Mr. Zhang's sincerity."

Cuilan said something.

Zhang Liang smiled and said that when working for the Stove King, he must do his duty with all his heart. Even if it is the water for washing his face, he must check whether it is poisonous.

After a while of burning incense, Zhang Liang saw that there was nothing unusual about him, and then he shouted inside, "Kitchen King, it's time to get up."

Liu Zhenhua heard that Zhang Liang was absolutely trustworthy. He was innocent and dedicated to his responsibilities.

He shouted toward the outside, "Come in."

"Yes."

The two women bowed and then pushed the door open and entered.

Liu Zhenhua was lying beside the bed, his body turned sideways. Aster held the basin and washed Liu Zhenhua's face, while Cuilan stood aside.

Aster shook her elbow and squeezed Liu Zhenhua's face to her chest. Liu Zhenhua felt the softness on his face, but he was not distracted. He was holding a pistol tightly in his hand hidden under the quilt. If this person made any abnormal move, Liu Zhenhua would kill him. The pistol was taken out and the magazine was instantly emptied, letting this man know what American Iai is.

There was no way this man could kill him before he pulled out his pistol. What if he broke his neck? Liu Zhenhua's posture made it impossible for this man to break his neck.

Fortunately, there was nothing unusual. Aster did her best and wiped Liu Zhenhua's face and even his neck clean, without missing anything.

Liu Zhenhua was also in Xinzheng and couldn't help but sigh about the evil feudal system. It was really refreshing. It felt so good to be served by someone, especially the softness on his face. It reminded Liu Zhenhua of the advertising slogan of Dada Bubble Gum, Dada!
