I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 229 Nation's Artifact?

Liu Baohe deserved to be a craftsman who came from the eunuch in charge of the military bureau, so he just looked at it for a while.

Immediately, it was recognized that the painting in the picture was actually a firecracker that had never been seen before.

The whole body of this firecracker is about 1.5 meters, and the barrel occupies 1.2 meters. There is a wooden handle below it, and a thick handle behind it.

He can more or less see what it is for when he goes to his place.

The only thing he couldn't understand was that there was a small dot on the head and tail of the barrel.

The back is slightly larger, with two forks, and the small dot in the front is just one dot.

However, according to his experience, he imagined the usage of this firecracker a little bit in his mind, and immediately understood the role of these two small points.

Immediately, this genius-like idea turned into excitement and shouted,
"Your Majesty is really a genius, not to mention anything else, it's just these two little points.

The slave can guarantee that the chance of hitting can be more than doubled!This is really... really..."

At the end of the day, he no longer knew what words to use to describe this genius idea.

Adding the front sight is just a small part of the changes.

Although Li Tian is learning from the wisdom of his predecessors, it's okay for him to reap a wave of amazement from others, deliberately pretending not to care much,

"What is this? When this musket is actually made, you will be surprised."

Hearing Liu Bao and the handprint of the military bureau who has been dealing with firearms all year round, he couldn't help exclaiming, and Jiang Bao also joined in the fun and stepped forward to watch.

Jiang Bao's martial arts, whether in Jianghu or in the court, can be regarded as a master.

Originally, I disdain things like firearms.

But after careful observation, he found out.

Once this musket is forged, it only needs more than three shots, and even he can't get within twenty steps of Li Tian.

He suddenly said bitterly,
"Your Majesty, if this kind of artifact is really produced on a large scale, I'm afraid there will be no use for martial arts practitioners in the world!"

Li Tian was noncommittal, although kung fu is indeed amazing, even he himself has a good impression of kung fu.

But it is a pity that the era of personal bravery will always pass.

Even if this thing is not brought out by itself, it will be introduced to Daming from the West after dozens or hundreds of years.

Thus opening the real era of hot weapons.

His idea is also very simple, instead of letting small countries such as Spain and Portugal bully Daming with their strong ships and guns.

It's better to let Da Ming completely subdue them, so that they can't even summon up the courage to resist.

It can be seen that although Liu Baohe is a eunuch, he is a different kind of eunuch.

He is not good at flattery, nor is he good at making money, but he is very serious about doing his job.

After recording all the drawings in his mind, he couldn't help but excitedly said to Li Tian,

"Your Majesty, the drawing you gave is very detailed, and I guarantee that I will make one for you within three days."

Hearing him say that it takes three days to make one rod, Li Tian shook his head and said,
"One shot is enough, at least ten shots are enough to test how good this musket is."

Hearing that Li Tian actually wanted ten shots, Liu Baohe's face immediately collapsed.

With a bitter face,

"Your Majesty, this is the first time for the artisans below to make this thing. In three days, the slaves asked them to work overtime.

It is barely enough to make a finished product, but ten strokes, the manpower of the servants is really not enough. "

Li Tian said angrily,
"Tell me what's good, you won't use your brain, and each part will be handed over to different people to build. As long as it meets the standards, it will be done after combining it at the end!"

Liu Baohe didn't quite understand for a while,
"But in this way, in the end, no one is fully built.

Once these people are separated, won't no one have the ability to create this kind of musket alone. "

Li Tian shook his head lightly and said with a smile,
"You don't have to worry about this, just do as you want. This is actually one of my goals. In this way, the possibility of leaking the secret is much smaller!"

Thinking about it carefully, this is really the case, Liu Baohe was once again convinced by Li Tian's unconstrained ideas.

"That's right, once this kind of magical weapon is leaked, it will be a catastrophe. Your Majesty is still considerate!"

So he knelt down again and said very respectfully,

"Your Majesty's thoughts are as deep as the sea, and the servant is not in a hurry to flatter you!"

He waved his hand casually, telling him to get up quickly.

With a very solemn face, he ordered,

"This matter is an inner court secret. Except for the craftsmen who participated in it, I don't want more people to know about it. Do you understand?"

"Yes, slaves must strictly guard against it, and never let the secrets of the artifact leak out."

Li Tian smiled wryly to himself, "A mere castrated matchlock gun is called a magic weapon, so if I develop a steam engine in the future.

Even something like a glider, what should I call it, a demon weapon, a magic weapon! "

"Okay, go get busy. I'll be waiting for your good news in three days."

After respectfully sending Li Tian and Jiang Bao away.

Liu Baohe completely sealed off the military battle bureau, and no one was allowed to enter or go out within three days, and anyone who violated the order would be directly shot.

Then, the entire military battle bureau became completely busy like ants moving house.

……

It was only two or three o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to Kunning Palace.

Seeing that it was still early, Li Tian planned to find a quiet place for a walk.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was just around the corner, the palace already had a somewhat festive atmosphere, with red and green hangings everywhere, replacing the original white silk at the time of national mourning.

After seeing those things no longer, Li Tian's mood improved a lot.

Thinking carefully about what happened in the past few days, it was either floods or corruption, none of which made him worry.

Fortunately, the bank is on the right track. As long as it develops steadily, I don't have to worry about lack of money for the time being.

While walking, he suddenly said, it seems that he hasn't seen Huang Yan all day.

He turned to Jiang Bao and asked,

"What is Huang Yan's Dongchang doing now!"

Jiang Baodao,
"Governor Huang seems to be still collecting evidence of the relevant personnel involved in the corruption case."

Li Tian sighed, this corruption case has twists and turns, not only the servant of the household department.

The Royal Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and even the important generals of the frontier army were involved.

Although it is not as good as the few major cases of Zhu Papi in the early years of Hongwu, it can be regarded as a rare major case in recent years.

He has already told Yang Shiqi and others about the punishment of important personnel, so there is no need for him to worry.

But he didn't pay much attention to how the low-level officials and officials were punished.

I hope there will be no unjust, false or wrongly decided cases.

So he told Jiang Baodao,
"If you have time, you should go and have a look, and warn Huang Yan, don't make any mistaken cases that are full of people."

Jiang Bao bowed and saluted,

"The old slave knows!"
