Chapter 102 Reuse (one more)

Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan continued with a smile: "I met the First Prince at the Ministry of War. The First Prince said that the envoys from the Yue Kingdom would arrive in a few days. The one who came was the Third Prince from the Yue Kingdom. The First Prince asked me to go out of Beijing to meet the envoys." minister."

It was the first time that Gu Yuan met the eldest prince Chu Yi who had been a proton in the Yue Kingdom for eight years today.

Before that, he thought that the First Prince had been a hostage in the Yue Kingdom for many years, and he was afraid that he would be raised to be cowardly. It was not until today when he met, from the words and deeds of the First Prince, that he realized that the First Prince was different from what he thought before.

When the eldest prince mentioned the three princes of the Yue Kingdom, his expression was indifferent, without the slightest cautiousness, let alone humility. Yue Guo bowed his knees.

"Meow!" Qingguang seemed to understand, thinking of a human who had pinched the back of its neck.

Hmph, daring and stupid human beings! !

Qingguang was about to raise his head to look at Gu Yuan, but Gu Yanfei quickly pressed his hand on the back of his neck.

Gu Yanfei perfunctorily patted it on the back twice, meaning, eat yours well.

The cat gave in.

Gu Yuan took another sip of tea, and continued: "The matter of Yue's visit was temporarily decided this month."

"In these years, the relationship between Dajing and Yue Kingdom has not been violated. There are only some ordinary trade exchanges. Until the emperor ascended the throne, in order to return to the country in exchange for the eldest prince, the emperor took more than half a year to barely suppress those noble families. And after allowing the Yue Kingdom a blueprint of a firearm, the Yue Kingdom sages agreed to release him."

Regarding the agreement between the two countries on the blueprint of firearms, Gu Yuan did not know about it at first. He met the First Prince at the Ministry of War today, and the First Prince told him personally...

Thinking about it, Gu Yuan's eyes were slightly cold, and he continued: "Because the two countries don't trust each other, the emperor only gave the Yue Kingdom half a blueprint. drawing."

This Vietnamese man is simply an ambitious wolf!

Gu Yuan's eyes were deep and dark, and the hand holding the teacup was subconsciously tense.

How could he forget and let go of the enmity between him and the country of Yue that killed his father!

"What firearm?" Gu Yanfei took a bite of the soft and fluffy pastry and asked curiously.

Hearing the sound, Gu Yuan looked at Gu Yanfei, his eyes suddenly softened, and explained: "Emperor Taizu improved the matchlock gun during his lifetime and named it 'Flintlock'."

As we all know, Emperor Taizu is a genius who is not only the best in martial arts and martial arts in the world, but also has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge. He is proficient in various miscellaneous studies. He invented glass, mercury mirrors, soap, and improved springs, looms, and movable type printing. Wait, there are countless.

Thinking of the various great achievements of Emperor Taizu, Gu Yuan's handsome face seemed to be shining, and it was hard to hide his respect and yearning for Emperor Taizu.

"Although the original matchlock guns are far more powerful than bows and arrows, knives and guns, they also have obvious defects. It takes a lot of time to load gunpowder and projectiles, and you need to ignite the matchlock to fire, and the shooting is not accurate."

"After being improved by Emperor Taizu, the new 'Flintlock' uses flint to strike fire, which not only greatly simplifies the shooting process, but also improves the firing accuracy by two or three times faster than the matchlock gun."

"Once a good soldier masters the 'fusilisk' proficiently, he is equivalent to being able to defeat a hundred enemies with one enemy."

Gu Yuan's eyes could not help but shine brightly, his whole body was like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, ready to rush to the battlefield at any time.

At first, Gu Yanfei just asked casually, but after listening, he felt a bit of interest, and asked enthusiastically, "Brother, do you have a flintlock?"

"Yes." Gu Yuan nodded, and smiled dotingly, "I'll get someone to fetch it for you to play with."

He really has a flintlock. When he went to the Ministry of War just now, Chu Yi gave him a flintlock.

So, Gu Yuan called Juan Bi in and told her to go to Chenghui Courtyard to get it from Wutong.

After Juan Bi went out, Gu Yuan pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, then asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time: "Sister, do you recognize the eldest prince?"

His sister and the First Prince were supposed to have nothing to do with each other, but today the First Prince told him that he could tell his sister about the errands he was going to take on, without any concealment, so he had to imagine this.

"Yes." Gu Yanfei nodded honestly and answered honestly.

Indeed!

Gu Yuan didn't want to ask how they met at all. In his opinion, since his younger sister is so outstanding, it's only right for the First Prince to remember her.

Gu Yanfei took a piece of plum blossom cake to Gu Yuan with chopsticks, and asked casually, "Brother, have you ever been to Yue?"

"I have read in books that many dialects are spoken in Yue, and in some places there are dozens of dialects in a state."

Gu Yanfei was not familiar with Yue Kingdom at all.

In her last life, her world was really too small. There was only this small Dingyuanhou Mansion, and she didn't even know much about the capital, let alone the distant country of Yue.

Gu Yuan took a bite of the plum cake and shook his head. When meeting Gu Yanfei's curious eyes, his pitch-black phoenix eyes became softer and warmer.

He straightened his mind and said with a smile, "I haven't been there, but I heard from friends."

"The country of Yue is rich in tea and silk, and many cloth shops on Dayan Street are selling silks and satins from the country of Yue. It is often said that the silk of the country of Yue is dyed with the color of spring in the south of the Yangtze River, which is more graceful than the material of Dajing."

"When I'm free, I'll take you to the Dayan Street area. That area is also called Nanyue Street. Many shops on the street sell Nanyue products, such as dim sum, paper kites, embroidered screens, purses, round fans..."

"By the way, there is also an opera garden on Dayan Street. The theater troupe from Nanyue is invited, and the operas from Nanyue are also sung, which has a unique flavor."

Gu Yuan racked his brains to say something, what he said was what his cronies said, so it was a bit mixed and scattered.

"Brother," Gu Yanfei leaned slightly, moved closer to him, and pinched Gu Yuan's cuff coquettishly, "Then let's make an agreement, next time we will go to the shop on Dayan Street together and buy some Jiangnan materials to make clothes?"

"Then, let's go to the theater troupe you mentioned."

In their previous life, their brother and sister missed a lot, but in this life, Gu Yanfei doesn't want to miss it again.

She will tell Gu Yuan what she wants to do and what she likes.

"Whatever you want, brother will accompany you." Gu Yuan always agreed, and was even thinking: since my younger sister likes to watch theater so much, maybe he can buy her a theater troupe in the future, and then, if she wants to watch, she can do it anytime. can watch.

However, before that, he had to work hard to save money first, and then, take his sister to separate the family!

After the family is separated, the younger sister can live as she pleases, live happily and freely, without being restricted in the Hou's mansion.

Originally, Gu Yuan was not interested in going to Luan Yiwei. No matter how bright Luan Yiwei was and how bright the future was, that was not what he yearned for, and it was not what he was chasing.

but now……

Gu Yuan had a new idea.

Today, since the First Prince told him so much, even told him the secret about the blueprint of the "Flintlock", it means that the First Prince should have other arrangements for him... Or, the First Prince intends to use him!

Yes, now is not the time when the first emperor reigned.

He is confident that with his ability, he will be able to create a world that belongs to him in the army like his father!

For his sister, he must work harder!

Thinking about it, Gu Yuan couldn't help but be inspired to fight, his black pupils were shining brightly, and he said vigorously: "Sister, my ten-day leave must have been wasted, and I will accompany the First Prince next, and there is I'm busy..."

"After I've been busy for a while, I will definitely take you to have fun in the capital!"

Seeing Gu Yuan like this, Gu Yanfei felt an inexplicable impulse in her heart, she also wanted to pat her brother's head.

However, my brother will not be happy.

She smirked in her heart, a smile showing from the corners of her eyes and brows.

"Girl!" Juan Bi finally came back, holding a heavy rectangular wooden box in both hands.

Gu Yuan opened the long wooden box by himself, and saw a brand-new flintlock gun quietly placed on the red velvet cloth inside the box. There are still eight or nine projectiles.

Gu Yanfei looked at the strangely shaped flintlock gun, and took it out of the box with great interest, with a heavy hand.

Obviously the little girl's arms were not as thick as the barrel of a gun, but she easily grasped the heavy flintlock in both hands, as if grasping a long sword in her hands with ease.

Gu Yanfei held the flintlock gun in his hand, and played with it casually, touching the barrel, ticking the trigger, touching the butt of the gun...

Gu Yuan first introduced the various parts of the flintlock, and then began to teach her step by step how to clean and unclog the barrel, where to fill the gunpowder, and where to load the projectile...

"The steps of firing a gun are far more cumbersome than firing a bow, and it takes more than a dozen breaths at the fastest to fire once."

"However, the projectile is pushed out of the barrel by the burning gunpowder, and its speed is much faster than ordinary feather arrows, and its lethality is also greater. It can penetrate a human skull with a single shot from a hundred steps away."

Gu Yuan had never used a musket before, that is, when he was in the Ministry of War just now, the First Prince personally demonstrated it to him.

It is really not difficult to get started, practice makes perfect, no wonder Gu Yuan once heard Shang Feng say: "On the battlefield, training a soldier to use a musket is far easier than training an archer."

He spoke very carefully, Gu Yanfei also listened attentively, nodded frequently, touched his chin with great interest and asked: "Brother, can I try?"

This firearm named "Flintlock" is a bit like a low-level spiritual weapon in the Yaoling world, but its power sounds much smaller than the spiritual weapon.

She only played with it in her hand for a while, and she understood the pros and cons of this thing. For example, the burning of gunpowder can generate a strong thrust, pushing the projectile to launch, which may also affect the aim of the flintlock gun at the same time.

However, in this small world, the flintlock is probably a killer weapon.
