Chapter 23 These two things are only heard of in the heavens!
Emperor Xuanhe held the small ball and tossed it back and forth in his hand, discovering that the ball still had some weight.

"Little Princess, what are these two things?" Emperor Xuanhe asked, puzzled.

Sui Sui continued to rummage through her small purse with her little hands.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It seems to be called fire, something about guns and medicine."

Musket?

Is it this long thing?
Is there any more medicine?
Could it be this little black ball?
It's medicine?!
What medicine?

Could it be an elixir of immortality?
Emperor Xuanhe had an urge to smash it open and see what was inside.

If it wasn't hidden inside this little ball, it's impossible that this entire little black sphere is medicine, right?

It was the size of his palm; how could he possibly swallow it?

And it's so hard?

Emperor Xuanhe resisted the urge to take a bite and try it.

In other words, firearms had not yet appeared in the Daqing era, which is why Emperor Xuanhe did not know what it was.

"Found it~" Sui Sui suddenly exclaimed.

Then he took out a few pieces of paper from his small purse and handed them to Emperor Xuanhe.

Emperor Xuanhe took it and looked at it.

The first one appears to be a drawing.

The blueprints for this tubular object were clearly displayed.

Emperor Xuanhe also saw the name of this thing; it wasn't called a firearm, but a matchlock gun.

It's also a relatively new term.

When Emperor Xuanhe finally saw what the matchlock gun was, he jumped to his feet.

"A matchlock gun!"

"So it was a weapon!"

"It can fire the gunpowder inside, with an effective range of 50-100 meters and a maximum range of up to 200 meters."

"It's easy to operate, and the gunpowder pellets inside can penetrate modern armor!"

Upon seeing the last item, Emperor Xuanhe gasped.

"What a great weapon! This is simply a great weapon!"

Nowadays, soldiers on the battlefield, if they have the means, wear armor and carry bows and arrows, swords, spears, and so on.

In Emperor Xuanhe's view, the cavalry of the Great Jin grasslands had Ferghana horses and were highly capable of fighting on horseback.

They arrive on warhorses, wielding a large sword, and can easily reap heads with a mere bend.

The cavalry of the Great Jin Grassland were considered virtually invincible and unsolvable by Emperor Xuanhe and by other countries.

but now!
I saw this matchlock gun.

Emperor Xuanhe felt that perhaps a solution had been found to counter the Jin dynasty's steppe cavalry.

There's no need to get close; as long as they're within 200 meters, before the cavalry from the Great Golden Grassland even get close, we can shoot them down.

Even if the cavalryman was wearing armor, it was useless; the ammunition from these arquebuses could penetrate armor.

"Okay, great!"

"Little Princess, what you brought out is truly wonderful, it's simply a treasure!" Emperor Xuanhe's worries from his recent mission to Daqing from the Great Jin grasslands were gone, and his face was full of excitement.

Sui Sui looked up and smiled, "Nephew, I'm glad you like it."

Sui Sui was also very happy; she knew her nephew would like the reward she gave him.

Emperor Xuanhe saw the second sheet of paper, which contained the disassembly process and manufacturing blueprints for the matchlock gun.

Emperor Xuanhe glanced at it briefly and was convinced that given time, the matchlock gun could definitely be mass-produced.

After examining the matchlock gun, Emperor Xuanhe began to look forward to the small black ball.

What kind of medicine could this be?
Could it really be an elixir of immortality? Haha.

The third image is an introduction to this little black ball.

After reading the description of the little black ball, Emperor Xuanhe was both amused and exasperated.

This little black ball is indeed "medicine," but it's not medicine you can eat; it's medicine you can use.

Its real name is black powder, or gunpowder.

It's the same weapon.

The gunpowder was coated with a thin layer of iron. Luckily, luckily he didn't bite it.

This gunpowder, with a thin iron shell encasing black powder, can explode when thrown or launched by a catapult. After the explosion, it will burn, produce smoke, and has a very high destructive power.

Emperor Xuanhe also observed that the explosive range of the gunpowder was 15-25 meters.

That's quite a large area.

Emperor Xuanhe couldn't help but think of the large artificial hill in the back garden.

How could a tiny piece of gunpowder, no bigger than the palm of your hand, destroy a large artificial mountain?

Thinking of that effect, Emperor Xuanhe gasped.

To be honest, Emperor Xuanhe is somewhat tempted to give it a try this time.

They not only tried matchlock guns, but also gunpowder.

but……

This matchlock gun is worth a try.

After all, the blueprints indicated that the matchlock gun contained a considerable amount of ammunition.

It wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

However, this gunpowder only works once.

And there's only one.

Therefore, it's impossible to try.

Looking at the gunpowder, Emperor Xuanhe felt that its function was actually the same as that of thunder and fire in the sky.

Imagine, the thunder and fire from the heavens could actually be used on earth.

Could this have been brought from heaven by the little fairy, the little princess?

"Little Princess, how did you obtain these two items?" Emperor Xuanhe asked in a low voice, suppressing his excitement.

Sui Sui is holding a peach she took out of her small pouch and is eating it.

How did you get those chubby cheeks?
Sui Sui looked a little guilty.

Could she say that she secretly slept with Consort Shu's niece-in-law?
No!

They all said they couldn't tell anyone else about its existence.

So, Sui Sui put a little finger to her lips and whispered, "Shh, Your Majesty the Emperor, you can't ask, you can't say."

Emperor Xuanhe: !!! As expected, I guessed right. These two items were brought down from heaven by my little princess, that fairy.

These two things do not exist on earth; they are only heard of in heaven.

Now, Emperor Xuanhe understood completely.

He thought that the little princess was originally a fairy who had been asleep for a hundred years and had simply returned to heaven.

But now, a century later, seeing the decline of Daqing, she learned that her nephew needed her.

So she descended to the mortal realm and awoke.

They even brought things from heaven to help him.

Yes, that’s definitely the case!
Emperor Xuanhe, who had initially felt a little aggrieved and resentful because his plan to favor Consort Shu was interrupted, no longer had any of those feelings.

He looked at his little princess with eyes full of emotion, and his eyes even reddened slightly.

"Little Imperial Aunt, you're too good to me..."

Sui Sui blinked, though she didn't understand why the emperor's nephew looked like he was about to cry.

But she nodded; she was indeed very kind to the emperor's nephew.

Otherwise, why would he give all the rewards to his nephew?

Emperor Xuanhe then looked at the fourth sheet of paper, which recorded the composition of gunpowder.

Great, once we know the proportions of these ingredients, we can make it.

However, his immediate priority was to test the effectiveness of the matchlock gun.

We can't test the gunpowder, there's only one piece, but we can try the matchlock gun.

So, after Sui Sui left, Emperor Xuanhe couldn't sit still and immediately went to the martial arts field.

The book title and cover have been changed; some words from the original title can no longer be used.
