Chapter 55: The Fang Family's New Offering
The next step is to test the new gun.
Pour in gunpowder, put in lead bullets and poke it firmly, Zhu Fang took a deep breath and aimed at the target excitedly.
"Boom!"
The noise was not small, but the smoke was reduced a lot.
But these are not the focus of everyone's attention, this time even Fang Xing has gone to the target.
"My God!"
Zhu Fang herself was stunned by the hole.
There was a hole in the wooden target, and the point of impact was only seven or eight centimeters away from the red heart. With this accuracy, it could basically be used in actual combat.
Zhu Zhanji touched the hole, and Fang Xing said with burning eyes: "Brother Dehua, you made this thing, you have done a lot!"
Fang Xing was secretly happy, but he said calmly, "What kind of skill! It's just a small skill."
Ma Su was a little ignorant at the side, but accidentally saw the corner of his teacher's mouth slightly curled up.
I tried more than ten guns again, not only to test the range and accuracy, but also to test the maximum charge, but that was to shoot with the musket clamped on the pliers and pulled by a rope.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"..."
"Boom!"
After a detonation, the barrel finally exploded.
"OK!"
Although it was an explosion, everyone was smiling, because the amount of gunpowder loaded just now was unprecedented.
Zhu Zhanji was about to give a reward and make a wish in a heartbeat, but Fang Xing took out a bank note without winking, patted Zhu Fang on the shoulder and said, "From now on, you will be my family's enshrined, work hard, I can't lose you .”
Fang Xing and Zhang Shuhui's subordinates are divided into stewards and enshriners, and the first enshrinement is Zhu Fang. This honor made his eyes turn red, and he trembled and wanted to kneel down.
"Don't kneel, if you kneel again, I will take the banknote!"
Zhu Fang choked with sobs, and through the tears, the words of one hundred taels on the bank note made him feel like a dream.
"Continue to make, first make twenty of this kind of gun."
Fang Xing explained the follow-up matters, and left here with Zhu Zhanji, who was still full of ideas.
Standing at the door, Fang Xing looked at the open door, and said with some displeasure: "Ma Su, tell Lao Qi later that no one is allowed to enter or leave this small courtyard, and the violators will take it down!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Indeed, once foreign enemies spy on the secrets here, my Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"
Both Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji felt that the future Ming army should be equipped with this musket, and directly attack the Tatars and Wachas on the grassland.
Zhu Zhanji was going to report to his father, and by the way, he had to write a letter from home to tell Zhu Di about this.
Fang Xing, on the other hand, felt that he had completed his merits and virtues, so he met Xue Huamin who was asking to see him.
Xue Huamin seemed to have intentions of going, so meeting her was a great gift.
"Why does Mr. Xue have to do this?"
Fang Xing smiled, and then sat down among the guests and hosts.
Xue Huamin has been inquiring around in Fangjiazhuang for the past few days, and even found acquaintances in Beiping City, asked Fang Xing about the details of the interrogation at that time, and finally came to a conclusion.
——This uncle is very powerful, and he is very courageous.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Qin Mengxue was definitely killed by Fang Xing's hands. This is not evidence, but the result of analysis from the perspective of who benefits.
Before coming here, Zhang Fu had told Xue Huamin that if Fang Xing couldn't use it, then he could just tell his relationship with the Peking Mansion to take care of him; but if Fang Xing could use it, then...
Thinking of this, Xue Huamin smiled and said, "Does Second Young Master have the heart to serve the country?"
Second uncle...
Fang Xing was stunned for a long time before he remembered the origin of this title. As for the 'eldest son-in-law' who is currently in the palace, accepting worship from all directions. He laughed and said: "Serving the country, we are unwilling to be inferior to others.
It's just that I've been in a daze since I was seriously ill. It's a fluke if I don't miss something, and I dare not delay state affairs. "
Xue Huamin was taken aback, his hint just now was obvious enough, meaning that Zhang Fu intended to pave an official path for Fang Xing.
As the British Duke of the Kingdom, Zhang Fu, who was trusted by the emperor, if he spoke up, Fang Xing would be considered a fool, but he would still be able to embark on his official career smoothly.
As for promotion, that's even more out of the question.
What's more, according to Xue Huamin's own observation, this uncle of the Zhang family is not a fool, on the contrary he is very shrewd.
With the shrewd Fang Xing and the powerful Zhang Fu, at most ten years, Fang Xing will be able to board a helicopter.
If it were someone else, they would probably write a letter to express their loyalty immediately, but Fang Xing refused.
"Uh... Young Master, this is the arrangement of the Duke!"
In the end, Xue Huamin could only use Zhang Fu to suppress the ignorant Fang Xing.
hehe!
Fang Xing smiled and said, "It's not about Duke Ying, you just need to tell him that I have a very good relationship with the emperor's grandson, and he will understand."
Xue Huamin was not an idiot either, he understood Fang Xing's meaning in an instant.
...
Far away in the military camp at Jiaozhi, Zhang Fu was sitting in a big tent.
Cochin is hot, and in this early winter, there is still no need to wear cotton armor.
The temperature has been moderate recently, but Zhang Fu is a little annoyed by the non-stop rain.
In this kind of place, once it rains, the fighting can be stopped, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
Since there was no war, Zhang Fu was free. He flipped through the letters sent through the military channel, and when he saw the letter dictated by his mother, he fell into deep thought.
"The grandson of the emperor is willing to be in that kind of place, just to learn miscellaneous things?"
Zhang Fu is more sensitive to politics, so he can stand upright for four dynasties in the future.
The grandson of the emperor and his brother-in-law studied miscellaneous studies, which seemed a bit strange to Zhang Fu. But Zhang Fu, who was not suspicious, didn't care about it, he just thought of his own situation.
Zhang Fu has two younger sisters. The eldest sister entered the palace to serve the emperor and is now a noble concubine. And the younger one is Zhang Shuhui. At that time, he felt that his own martial arts were too strong, and he wanted to prevent the emperor from imitating Taizu Gao and killing heroes, so he assigned Zhang Shuhui to Fang Xing, who was talented in reading.
However, Fang Hongjian was implicated in the reverse case. Even if he knew that he was implicated, under Zhu Di's rage, Zhang Fu only saved the Fang family's wealth and life.
And Fang Hongjian was probably also an official fan, and after being resigned, he couldn't stand it, and finally died in depression.
At that time, Zhang Fu was in intercourse, so he couldn't do anything. As a result, Mrs. Li was a little timid, and she couldn't understand Zhang Shuhui, a concubine, so she decided to divorce on her own.
In the end, Fang Xing became as demented as her eldest son, while Zhang Shuhui gritted her teeth and left the family under the threat of Li Shi, unwilling to repent.
Now Fang Xing's personality has changed drastically after waking up, and he was lucky enough to have a relationship with the emperor's grandson.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a good thing of luck, but it makes Zhang Fu a little troubled. He looked down at the letter, and the content on it made him feel sorry for him.
"...My family is already extremely rich, my son should be cautious, don't be greedy..."
Zhang Fu raised his head and sighed, his heart was clear.
The Zhang family has gained trust from the emperor. Not only did a younger sister become Zhu Di's concubine in the palace, but also his second daughter became the prince's wife.
