In addition to Jingkou, there are two other places in Dajin that master firearms manufacturing technology.
One is the General Workshop in Jiankang City.
This is the jurisdiction of the general minister Puchao. Puchao is a wise and generous man. He has long seen Wang Mi's thoughts and agrees with him.
As an idle minister who has long since stopped participating in court battles, Pu Chao's years of idleness have long worn away his will.
It was Wang Mi who rekindled his hope in life and found the meaning of struggle. Puchao was very strict with the management of the craftsmen. Moreover, these craftsmen all lived in Jiankang and rarely stepped out of the city.
It is not difficult for them to keep secrets even half a step away.
So, where is another place that knows the secrets of firearm making?
Jingzhou!
The Huan family of Qiaojun!
Of course Jingzhou!
This is the cleverness of Wang Mi. Jingzhou has always been a very sensitive place. The Huan family of Qiao County, which has been entrenched here for a long time, has never been in harmony with the Jin Dynasty, that is, the Sima family. They have always been under the influence of the imperial court.
, in such a state of being suppressed by the royal family.
It is true that the Huan family also has some responsibilities, but as the head of the family, the Sima family cannot destroy the Huan family, so they should not be so mean and ungrateful and look like a scumbag.
However, how could the emperor of the Sima family understand this truth?
They just want to be scumbags, and their ideals are still scumbags. So, the relationship with the Huan family of Qiaojun was established.
People of the Huan clan may have disagreements and conflicts on some issues, but the only thing they do not hesitate is to be unanimous in dealing with the outside world.
They hated the people of the Sima family so much that since they had a divine weapon in their hands that could kill them, how could they take the initiative to reveal it?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, after such a long time, even many other generals in the Jin Dynasty knew that the Beifu soldiers began to use new weapons, and this weapon was very powerful and was their magic weapon to defeat the enemy.
However, they tried their best, but could not get any information about the firearm, let alone the real method of making it.
The doors are tightly closed to them.
But now, this secret can obviously no longer be kept!
The two people Sima Shangzhi found were all close guards of Liu Laozhi. General Liu Laozhi himself was currently imprisoned by the Sima family.
He cannot die yet, and he is still useful before the time comes.
And what about the guards around him?
When Sima Shangzhi had just succeeded in his sneak attack, these guards were holding guns and cannons and refused to surrender, life or death.
At that time, Sima Shangzhi paid attention to how to use the firearms in their hands. Unfortunately, the speed was too fast and the scene was too chaotic. Although he had an impression, he really didn't understand how to use the firearms.
For several days, Sima Shangzhi had held the gun in his hand, which he had seized from Liu Laozhi. However, when he discovered it, the medicine room was empty.
He tried several times to use it like those Beifu soldiers charging into battle, but found that he couldn't find the key at all.
This gun, from the outside, seems to have no difference at all. It is exactly the same. Why can they use it easily while they can use it easily, but they can't use it at all?
Something must have gone wrong.
"Tell me, how do you use this musket?"
Sima Shangzhi was extremely patient. Looking at these two strong men whose lives depended on his hands, he felt quite confident.
no problem.
Here, these are already two dead people.
"Since you can make a sneak attack, why do you need to ask us these questions? So what if we have these weapons? Isn't Jingkou also in your hands now?"
"None of this is useful."
Although two strong men were brought in, only the one with dark skin and armor spoke.
There are still stains of blood on the armor, which belong to the soldiers brought by Sima Shangzhi. Although they have been defeated miserably on the battlefield, every Beifu soldier is not a coward, as these blackened blood stains are proof.
"Yes, since you are the loser, you have to do whatever I ask you to do. Aren't you still convinced?"
"hurry up!"
"Show me an example!"
The poor strong man was held between the shoulders by several Sima soldiers and raised in front of Sima Shangzhi. The gun was forced into his hand.
And his companion was looking at him with infinite sympathy.
brother!
On the road to hell, you should take the first step in the end!
The strong man touched the gun. Not long ago, these muskets and artillery were artifacts that the Beifu brothers were proud of.
Holding them, the Beifu soldiers fought in succession, defeated countless enemies, and captured countless important towns, which were originally the territory of the Jin Dynasty.
The Beifu soldiers, from the beginning of their establishment, demonstrated the Jin Dynasty's belief in regaining their homeland, and today, this team finally achieved its goal.
This is their glory.
The Beifu brothers once thought that with these magical firearms at their side, they could continue this glory.
Forever.
This Sima Shangzhi, isn't he from the Jin Dynasty royal family?
Doesn’t Dajin belong to them?
So how could he kill the heroes who opened up the territory for him, including each of them, the soldiers of Beifu in front of him?
Not only these soldiers, but Liu Laozhi, who is now thrown into prison, although his ability is inferior to Wang Mi, he still made great contributions to the Jin Dynasty back then.
During the period after Wang Mi entered Beifu, did Liu Laozhi do anything wrong?
No!
If we insist on saying so, it can only be said that after repeated weighing and the death of his old boss Xie Xuan, he knew that the situation was over and he was willing to succumb to Wang Mi.
However, given the current situation, even if he wanted to compete for the position of commander-in-chief of Beifu, he would not succeed.
What's more, even if you have to fight, it must be for yourself.
It won't be for some imperial court or some emperor.
However, in the eyes of the Sima family, these people who loyally followed Wang Mi in the war became sinners from top to bottom.
The greater their achievements, the greater their sins.
Sima Shangzhi ignored all the contributions they had made before. Even if they destroyed Beifu and lost the cities they finally regained, it didn't matter to them.
Anyway, you didn't conquer it yourself, and it wasn't the traditional ruling area of the Southern Dynasties anyway, so what are you doing so hard?
It's just superfluous.
This Sima Shangzhi, is he crazy?
If he could complete the actions of loading gunpowder and lighting it in one go, and mobilize all the joints in his body to strike Sima Shangzhi hard.
So, what will be the result?
Sima Shangzhi, isn't he dead?
No matter what the outcome is, this evil man who has caused harm to Jingkou and killed countless soldiers of Beifu can be taken away in one wave!
Beifu brothers, great revenge must be avenged!
"I advise you not to use your brain."
"You don't want the hilltop in front of the city gate to be a few feet higher!"
Hilltop?
Rentou Mountain!
The thought of revenge only lightly crossed the heart of the strong man for a moment, and then dissipated in an instant.
As long as that scene passes through your mind for a moment, your hair will stand on end and you will lose all courage.
"Say it!"
"You said it, I can at least promise not to kill him."
Sima Shangzhi's eyes crossed the strong man and rested on his companion.
Wang Zhiyuan didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup was fed to these Beifu soldiers. Even if they were beaten and disabled, even if they were imprisoned, they actually refused to tell the secret of firearms.
All right!
Since they are so united and loyal, let them perform to their heart's content. Sima Shangzhi is not a person seeking fame and reputation.
He is willing to fulfill them.
"can not say!"
"Can't listen to him!"
"leave me alone!"
The strong man's companion shouted loudly, and a knife was already placed on the companion's shoulder. As long as he got closer, he would just make a light stroke.
That little life would be lost!
game over!
explain.
Still don’t say it.
All the pressure was put on the strong man. Sima Shangzhi looked at the strong man with that contemptuous look. There was nothing you could do.
What else can you do but surrender?
In fact, Sima Shangzhi didn't care about anything, whether it was the strong man, his companions, or the Jingkou people outside the house who didn't know when they would be killed at their necks.
They are just playthings in his hands. All he cares about is power. Of course, he is not ready to use this power for any good purpose.
He just wants to seize power and have the ability to take advantage of the Jin Dynasty and take whatever he wants from the people.
In the courtyard and the main hall, everyone's focus came to the strong man, and everyone was paying attention to his next move.
At this moment, what is the strong man doing?
The gun was still in his hand. He seemed to be hesitating and thinking. What was he thinking?
Did he have any other choice?
have!
Must have!
The strong man has a very strong will. He will never reveal the most important secrets of the Beifu soldiers, and the same goes for his brothers.
Judging from Sima Shangzhi's performance, he has not yet learned to use a musket, which proves that none of the Beifu brothers have betrayed him.
Everyone is reliable!
How can I hold back my brothers at this critical moment? How can I be embarrassed?
With the gun in hand, I have the world!
This was a saying that was once circulated among the brothers in Beifu. At that time, the fighting spirit of the brothers was so high.
Under the pride of victory, the sacrifices and bloodshed on the battlefield no longer seemed to be a problem.
The Beifu soldiers are no longer afraid of it.
Sacrifice is for greater gain, and with these advanced firearms, the Beifu brothers can conclude that his sacrifice is extremely meaningful.
Through their sacrifice, Beifu and Dajin will gain more!
However, the Beifu soldiers, who now had advanced firearms, failed. Everyone was disappointed and inevitably had doubts.
However, even so, the brothers still did not reveal the secret of firearm making to Sima Shangzhi.
Because they knew very well that it was not that the firearms were bad or that Sima Shangzhi and the others had obtained more powerful weapons.
Their defeat was entirely due to chance. If the time was right, if they had a little more time, or in other words, if they had more troops and more firearms reserves, Jingkou would still be under their control.
in hand.
As long as the firearms are there, victory is there! Jingkou is there!
Thinking of this, the strong man made up his mind and took out a small bag from the armor on his chest. Before the bag was opened, people seemed to smell a pungent smell.
Yes!
That's a familiar smell!
It was the smell that had been lingering in Sima Shangzhi's nose since he arrived at Jingkou. This smell now not only exists in the real world, it also occupies a place in Sima Shangzhi's mind.
That smell was so strong and obvious that Sima Shangzhi couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.
"no!"
"Tan Shou, you can't do this!"
"Can't tell them!"
The companions did not care about their own lives and tried their best to stop him. However, the strong man remained the same, and the gunpowder was taken out and put into the medicine room.
The portions are just right, and you can tell at a glance that the techniques are very skillful. When Sima Shangzhi saw that he was obedient, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, it should have been like this a long time ago."
Although Sima Shangzhi promised that his companions would not die, he did not say that he would not let this strong man die.
Therefore, he is now very confident that once he has mastered the methods of using firearms and even the methods of making them, he will be able to get rid of all these unsightly things.
In one breath!
Now, for Sima Shangzhi, there are still two steps left before he can truly master firearms, and he is very aware of his shortcomings.
He didn't know anything about the soldiers and horses.
After all, firearms are still a type of weapon. As a weapon, it is obvious that mastering how to use it is not enough.
He also needs to master how to make firearms and understand them thoroughly.
Of course he thought so, and his thinking was very clear from the beginning.
Helpless, the Beifu soldiers were all stern and refused to give in. Those craftsmen who were said to have mastered the methods of making firearms became the rare survivors in Jingkou.
Because they have the technology and because they are useful, for a while, even if they are not respectful to Sima Shangzhi, Sima Shangzhi will not do anything to them.
Just leave it alone.
Anyway, in the end, they will all give in, just like the strong man in front of them.
There is no difference.
After the gunpowder was loaded, the strong man took out another incense-like thing. It could be seen from the burnt edge that it must have been used.
Does this thing need to be lit on the spot?
Where is the fire?
In fact, Sima Shangzhi has also been wondering. He had seen the sparks flying out when the musket was fired.
Since there are sparks, there must be fire. Even if no one told Sima Shangzhi, he still knew this.
So, where does fire come from?
Even if there is a source, where is it?
The situation on the battlefield was too chaotic, and the Beifu soldiers were suddenly attacked, and they had already been killed one by one.
There were muskets everywhere, and the yellow mist that rose up after the cannons were fired could not be seen clearly with the naked eye at a slightly greater distance.
