Chapter 787 The sound of cannons in the imperial city

After snatching back the batch of guns and cannons, the eunuch who led the team immediately told Liu Jin vividly. Moreover, it highlighted the exciting plots such as smashing the large iron lock in the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites.
Then, Dongchang Manzi, who was responsible for monitoring the movements of the Ministry of Rites, heard another news, which made Mao Cheng so angry that he jumped into a swearing scene and told Liu Jin vividly.
Liu Jin said happily:
"Our family likes to see this old man who is angry but has no choice but to do anything to me! Unfortunately, I can't see it with my own eyes..."
Then, when he turned his head, Liu Jin ran to Zhengde and flattered him...
"The Emperor, the interesting news is audible!"
When he came to Zhu Houzhao, a naughty child with a tender face, Eunuch Liu, who had always shown himself as a domineering president, was as obedient as a kitten at this time. Moreover, his face was full of flattery.
Not long after Zhengde came back from the morning court, he was lying on a reclining chair and closing his eyes to rest. On the side, Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong and other eunuchs surrounded the city and rushed to help the naughty child massage their backs and shoulders. Because there were as many as 7 people, Gao Feng and others on the periphery could not even reach into their hands...
Although he was a little nonsense, Zhengde would still go to court. The only emperors who did not attend court in the Ming Dynasty were Jiajing, the immortal cultivator and Wanli, the smoker. Unless Emperor Zhengde was not in the capital, he would still know about attending court and reviewing memorials. Even if he left the capital, he would also assign reliable chief ministers such as Li Dongyang (early), Yang Tinghe (latest), and would not miss the big things.
The naughty child opened his eyes impatiently and said:
"Old Liu, didn't you see that I was a little sleepy? What you said best can make me interested, otherwise, I will definitely deal with you."
Liu Jin asked for it and said flatteringly:
"Yes, yes, yes, you will definitely make you happy. Besides, if you really deal with the old slave, you will be the blessing you have cultivated!"
Then, Liu Jin and Liu's eunuch turned into a funny crosstalk actor and described the previous story with joy...
Zhu Houzhao was indeed interested:
"Old Liu, why do you take advantage of the morning to seize those Western guns and cannons? Wouldn't it be better to grab them back openly?" Yes, the naughty child's thoughts were very violent.
Liu Jin suddenly felt bitter:
"Your Majesty, you know that the Minister of Rites is Mao Cheng! That guy dared to blame him in person. Even if he had the order, he might reject him in person with the temper of the Secretary of Rites. At that time, he would lose face. So, the old slave secretly took advantage of him to court and made a surprise attack. You don't know that the great Han general named Huang, nicknamed "Huang Dahawk", was swung so smoothly. The big lock made of steel in the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites was smashed open in three strokes!"
Zhengde smiled and nodded:
"Well, interesting...and what else?"
"When Mao Cheng returned to the Ministry of Rites, he saw the gate of the Ministry of Rites' warehouse being smashed open. He was so angry that he was so angry that he jumped up! That was so funny!" Liu Jin said with a frown.
"Hahaha, it's really interesting!" Zhengde immediately laughed. The naughty child was also very unhappy about Mao Cheng. In the court, straight ministers like Mao Cheng and Wang Jiao often did not give face to the little emperor and accused the little emperor of his faults in person. The naughty child was in the rebellious period of youth, so how could he bear it? He had been furious for a long time. Liu Jin played Mao Cheng hard this time, which made the naughty child feel relieved. More importantly, Liu Jin's people went with the imperial edict. Even if he made a big fuss in the Ministry of Rites, it was not too much.
As for Liu Jin's subsequent concerns about Mao Cheng's impeachment (actually Liu Jin was not worried at all, but he had to pretend to be weak in front of Zhengde, so he said so), the naughty child waved his hand:
"Old Liu, don't worry. You haven't broken the law. Even if he impeaches you, he won't be able to catch a big handle. At most, you can compensate him for a new steel lock!"
"Pay a new lock?" Liu Jin was stunned and then smiled:
"Will the Secretary Mao be so angry that he jumped up again?"
"Yes, I just want to see Shangshu Mao jumping his feet with his own eyes!" said the naughty child proudly.
"The emperor is mighty and plays with the old man in his palm!" Liu Jin flattered him in time.
Then, Gu Dayong and other seven eunuchs also sent horses to their feet, fearing that they would fall behind...
...
After resting, the naughty child stood up and moved his muscles and bones. Then, he asked Liu Jin:
"Old Liu, where are the batch of Western guns and cannons you snatched up? Let me take a look!"
"Abide by the order! Please, the emperor!" After saying that, Liu Jin led the naughty child Zhu Houzhao towards the military battle outside the imperial city. The other seven tigers of the "Eight Tigers of Zhengde" were not willing to fall behind, and followed behind Emperor Zhengde, looking for all opportunities to flatter...
...
The military battle bureau is one of the eight bureaus of the Ming Dynasty. The eight bureaus are the military battle bureau, the silver bureau, the washing clothes bureau, the scarf bureau, the needlework bureau, the inner weaving and dyeing bureau, the wine, vinegar and noodles bureau and the Siyuan bureau. Each bureau has a seal eunuch, the assistant secretary, the supervisor, etc.
In other words, these eight bureaus are all institutions of the inner court and are separated from the outer court. Therefore, these eight bureaus are generally located in the imperial city. Of course, they are all located in the edge of the imperial city. After all, eunuchs in the inner court cannot take over the table and cannot seize the golden market entrance, which will pollute the civil servants' eyes...
After coming to the military battle, the eunuch in the military battle immediately gave Liu Jin a wink, then nodded...
Liu Jin knew what he meant, and the craftsmen of the military battle had seen it, and felt that those guns and cannons were fine...
Then, Liu Jin began to warmly invite Zhengde to visit the musket shooting...
I saw Liu Laoshi, a demonstration musketman sent by Guangzhou Avant-garde, and nine others, standing in three rows with coercion guns, lit the fuse, and began to wait for orders.
Of course, the Jinyiwei stood beside these people to prevent them from turning their guns and give Zhengde a while. If anyone dares to turn the guns, Jinyiwei will definitely go up and kill him...
The naughty child Zhu Houzhao is also very knowledgeable. After looking at it, he said in surprise:
"Hey, this sunset musket is much longer than the three-eyed musket of the Ming Dynasty!"
In fact, the naughty kid played with the three-eyed gun. At that time, the naughty kid played with the three-eyed gun as a firecracker and almost killed a palace maid.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! However, to be honest, the three-eyed gun is a wooden stick with three paired short and thick iron pipes in front, which looks very unsightly. The naughty kid threw it away quickly after playing with it. The thing looks like an ugly iron hammer... In fact, after three rounds of bullets, the three-eyed gun was indeed used as an iron hammer to hit people...
But the clamping gun is different, not to mention the effect, but the slender barrel looks much more beautiful than the three-eyed gun. Of course, if there is no bayonet, the clamping gun is not as effective as the three-eyed gun when it encounters an enemy. After all, the three-eyed gun can also be used as a hammer to hit people...
However, appearance is justice. Although the three-eyed gun can hit people, its ugly appearance will greatly reduce points. The mezzanine looks pleasing to the eye and is much more attractive...
As Liu Jin nodded, at the order of the manager of the military war bureau, Liu Laoshi and other trained musketeers from Guangzhou Avant-gardes fired three-stage strikes step by step. They took turns to load bullets and shoot. Although there was a pause in the middle, the pause was not long.
Such a smooth operation immediately dazzled Zhengde...
"Okay!" Zhengde began to applaud. After all, the shooting performance in front of him was so exciting that he was a little as he could catch up with the acrobatics.
After the shooting performance, Zhengde was also surprised to see the target full of bullet holes:
"The target of thirty steps is so high?"
Although Emperor Zhengde was a bit naughty, he had some knowledge. You must know that when he played the three-eyed gun, he had a guaranteed hit within 10 steps. The distance between thirty steps... It seemed that he almost killed a palace maid by mistake...
At this time, Emperor Zhengde finally put away his playfulness. After a while of silence, Emperor Zhengde ordered:
"Try it again!"
"Ah? Try here?" Liu Jin was a little dumbfounded. This is the imperial city! The sound of the mezzanine is somewhat similar to the sound of firecrackers, which is easy to say. But if you want to fire the fire... the noise is a bit too loud...
However, he did not dare to disobey the will of the naughty child. So he asked the soldiers to supervise the gunners sent by Guangzhou Avant-gardes, pushed three Franc cannons and came to the shooting range...
In fact, there is no shooting range for test guns in the imperial city, only the shooting range for test muskets. However, Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and said:
"Build a temporary wall as a target for the gun. In this way, you won't worry about the shells flying out of the imperial city!"
So soon, a group of masons came, built a brick wall at a distance of hundreds of steps from the shooting range, and applied mud as a temporary gun target. The reason for applying mud was to prevent the shells from bounced, causing jumping to hurt people...
Then, with a command, the cannoner from Guangzhou Avant-garde who performed the shelling, lit the fuse on the Fran machine gun gun with a wooden stick...
"Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-" Three cannons sounded from the imperial city...
"Where did the cannon sound come from?" Wang Yang, the cabinet minister who knew military, jumped up in shock.
