Chapter 132 Conquering Dai Zi ([-]) ([-]th update!)
"This old man's private matter, I dare not bother the young prince to ask!"

Although Dai Zi was exiled to Shengjing, but his heart was still attached to the court, and he often inquired about the important affairs of the court. Although he was limited to his contacts, he didn't know the hidden things behind the important affairs of the court, but for Hong Qing, who was fast I have heard about all the deeds of the prince of Chengjun, and I know that Hong Qing is not as immature as it seems on the surface, and I really dare not be too rude in front of Hong Qing, it is just a matter of personality , Dai Zi didn't want to say anything very soft, so with a livid face, he said in a low voice.

"Heh, so to speak, Mr. Dai is still brooding over the matter of being exiled. He must think that he was demoted for nothing at all, and it was unfair. I'm not wrong, right?"

As if she didn't notice Dai Zi's angry appearance, Hong Qing chuckled lightly, pointing directly at Dai Zi's true heart without any scruples.

"You... hmph, if the little prince wants to humiliate the old man, then please forgive the old man for not being with you, and leave!"

Dai Zi was not a good-tempered person in the first place, but now that Hong Qing said this, he couldn't take it any longer, so he got up suddenly, and as soon as he brushed his sleeves, he planned to leave regardless.

"Wait!"

Hongqing expended so much effort to rescue Dai Zi from the exile situation, naturally not to humiliate her, but to make use of her. Of course, if you want to employ people, you must first convince them. For a stubborn person like Dai Zi, just saying good things will definitely move his heart and soul, and only with kindness and power can he be persuaded. This point, Hong Qing had already done a lot in her previous life Seeing that Dai Zi was about to leave, Hong Qing was not in a hurry, but her face was stern, and she stopped drinking in a cold voice.

"Little prince, I dare not forget your kindness for helping me, and I will definitely repay you in the future. However, I only want to be a minister of the country in my life, and I will never be a servant of others. This one, I ask the little prince Haihan to give it a try. "

Dai Zi was high-minded and stubborn by nature, it can be said that he was stubborn to the point of paranoia. As early as when he was escorted to Beijing by Li Tao and others, he had already decided that Hong Qing was threatening En to make him work, and he hated being born early in his heart. As soon as he arrived at Xiaochuanzi Hutong, he made a fuss to leave. His original intention was that he didn't want to have anything to do with Hongqing again. Of course, Dai Zi was still grateful for Hongqing's helping hand. At this moment, there were some disagreements between each other, but Dai Zi suppressed the anger in his heart, cupped his hands, and resolutely expressed his feelings.

"I'll talk about this matter later. Ben Beizi asks you, in July 13th year of Kangxi, you privately built a 'serial fire gun', but you concealed it and kept it in your home. Is there such a thing, huh?"

Hong Qing ignored Dai Zi's words at all, glanced at him coldly, and asked in a sinister manner.

"I……"

As soon as Hong Qing mentioned the "serial firecrackers", Dai Zi's face turned pale instantly, he was dumbfounded and couldn't speak a complete sentence, not for any other reason, but because this matter is the most hidden thing in his heart .

In the 13th year of Kangxi, Dai Zi invented a weapon called "Lianzhu Huobao", also known as 28 Lianzhu Huobao.The back of the gun is a magazine, which can store 28 rounds of gunpowder and lead pellets.There are two blunderbuss machines, which are connected to each other. When one machine is pulled, the ammunition will fall into the barrel, and the other machine will be released at the same time to fire.It is shaped like a lute and is capable of firing 28 rounds in a row.

The design of this weapon is very ingenious. It not only solves the problem that the old firecrackers are easily affected by wind, rain and humidity, but also absorbs the advantages of Western firearms that can shoot continuously. Guns were dedicated to the barracks, but they were "hidden at home".The reason is said to be that he was frightened by a dream—one night when he was sleeping, Dai Zi had a strange dream. The person in the dream rebuked him and said, "God has the virtue of good life. If you offer this instrument to make it " spread among the world", and there will be no living people in your descendants.

Dai Zi kept this matter deep in her heart, and she refused to mention it to outsiders, even her own relatives refused to explain the root cause, but at this time, Hong Qing broke the root cause in a single mouthful, which really made Dai Zi feel as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body was covered. He was trembling, his eyes were so wide that they almost popped out of his sockets, you must know that possession of firearms is a felony, not to mention that it was the San Francisco rebellion, and it was the time when the imperial court was using troops, if you didn't offer a weapon when you had a weapon, it would be even more severe. The death penalty is coming, so how can Dai Zi not be terrified.

"As the saying goes, if you want people not to know, you have to do nothing yourself. So, Mr. Dai thinks that being expelled is unfair to you, huh?"

Hong Qing was able to know about this, not because she could figure it out, nor was it hearsay, but because she saw it from the Internet in her previous life. Due to the strict control, most people can't see the real guy, but there is nothing to be found on the Internet. Just go to a military website and browse all kinds of ordnance knowledge and even military history. As a dick young man, Hong Qing doesn't have many hobbies, but knowledge of ordnance happens to be one of his few hobbies. It is precisely because he accidentally saw an article introducing Dai Zi that he became a general of Dai Zi. The thought of being freed from being a prostitute, but now, when I teach Dai Zi a lesson, she looks like a magic stick.

"The old man is guilty, the old man is guilty, oh..."

After being exposed by Hong Qing to the secret in her heart, Dai Zi no longer had the stubbornness before, her energy and spirit all collapsed, her mouth twitched and murmured unceasingly.

"Mr. Dai, you don't need to be like this. I invite you to come here. I don't mean to settle old accounts with you, and I don't want you to be a servant. There are really important matters related to the fate of the country. I want to discuss with you in detail. Please sit down and talk." good?"

Getting rid of Dai Zi's stubbornness is just a means, not an end, it's for the next step of persuasion work, now that Dai Zi has lost her previous energy, Yu Hongqing, the fire is almost ready , since he won't take it too seriously, his complexion eased, and Han Shi softly explained.

"I also ask the little prince to enlighten me."

Although Dai Zi was stubborn and somewhat unreasonable, he was not a fool after all. Hearing what Hong Qing said, he dared not be more stubborn, but he did not sit down as he said, but cupped his hands towards Hong Qing, Daisi replied humbly.

"Mr. Dai, how do you think the firearms of my celestial dynasty compare with those of Westerners?"

Since Dai Zi insisted not to sit down, Hong Qing didn't force her, she smiled slightly and asked a sensitive question without any scruples.

"This...maybe each has its own winner."

When Dai Zi was an official in the court, he often communicated with various countries, and was even ordered to imitate the muskets presented by other countries many times. The rapid development of Western firearms was far beyond the reach of the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't dare to say this casually, so he could only answer vaguely.

"Mr. Dai's words are not sincere. The firearms of our Qing Dynasty have long been outdated. No matter what the guns are, they are far away from the West. There is no such thing. The world has been in peace for a long time, and the military equipment is exhausted. If we are complacent, how can we talk about innovation? Compared with the firearms of Westerners, they are already inferior. If you don’t go after them, if something happens in the future, the state affairs will fall, so why don’t you make a plan sooner? What do you think, Mr. Dai?”

Hong Qing shook her head, pointing out the backwardness of Daqing firearms without any scruples, and also expressed her determination to catch up. The current intention is to let Dai Zi bear this burden.

"This... If there is a purpose in the Holy Spirit, I will try my best to do it."

Dai Zi's hobby in his life was playing with firearms. He was very tempted by Hong Qing's proposal, but it was obvious in his words that he did not want to do Hong Qing's personal affairs.

"Mr. Dai, you can rest assured that I will ask you to do it yourself. After all, I am currently working as an assistant in the Ministry of Industry, and there is still a lack of a doctor in the manufacturing warehouse, so I ask Mr. Dai to condescend and discuss it in the future if there is a vacancy." , is this possible?"

Hong Qingyuan didn't expect to be able to pocket Dai Zi as soon as she came up. Even if Dai Zi was willing, Hong Qing really didn't have the guts to do it in private at the moment. You must know that firearms are strictly controlled by the imperial court, let alone private research and development. Well, private possession is a capital offense. Even if Hong Qinggui is the heir of Chengjun Prince, once he is involved, he will still be punished. This is not a joke, but it is difficult. Not to mention Hongqing, the left and right Ministry of Industry already had manufacturing warehouses, and with a slight adjustment to the existing structure, it can be used for public and private purposes. As for Dai Zi, as long as he boards the ship and thinks about it, he can It's not that easy anymore.

"Thank you, little prince, for your love, I dare not obey my orders."

Dai Zi is an upright person, how could he know the twists and turns in Hong Qing's stomach, hearing that he was just doing things according to orders, his heart was completely at ease, and he became more aware of Hong Qing, so he didn't go again After thinking about it, she bowed deeply towards Hong Qing, and agreed with gratitude on her face.

"Mr. Dai doesn't need to be like this. You are a national scholar. If you can do anything for your husband, you will never dare to resign. Today, it is getting late. Mr. Dai can stay here first. In the morning, tomorrow morning, he will have his own subordinates." Accompany you to the Ministry of Officials to go through all the formalities, and in the afternoon, I will go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and Ben Beizi can make some arrangements for Mr.

Fishing must be done freely, and Hong Qing is obviously a master at this point, she made arrangements for Dai Zi very considerately.

"Thank you, little prince, for your success. This old man is very grateful. If you achieve something in the future, you will never forget the great kindness of your little prince."

Hearing Hong Qing's meticulous and considerate arrangement, Dai Zi was moved, but also couldn't help feeling ashamed, secretly hating himself for suspecting Hong Qing's bad intentions before, thinking of this, there were tears in his eyes flickering.
