Leaving the imperial city, two people, one large and one small, walked out. The adults looked like they were wholesalers of arms, and the children looked like they were wholesalers of magic weapons. In short, they all wrapped themselves up like rice dumplings, armed from their feet to their teeth.
The muzzle of the firearm is black, and the flag of the magical weapon is dangling. He is really dressed up to scare gods and ghosts.
"What kind of new weapon is this? The Five Thunder God Machine. I know this one."
"This is the meteor cannon..."
The large ancient revolver "Five Thunder God Machine".
The "Lianzi Gun" handgun made during the Jiajing period.
Various Taoist techniques, this is the gun!
All kinds of Taoism, this is artillery!
Various Taoist techniques, this is a grenade!
There are many types of firearms produced by the Ming Dynasty, ranging from cannons to pistols. Of course, most of these firearms are fire guns and have not yet reached the more advanced matchlock type.
But it's soon.
"According to the address given by Lao Zhang, I will visit Zhao Shizhen."
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a very powerful firearms expert named Zhao Shizhen. He and a Turkish friend Dosima made the Chinese version of the matchlock gun and improved some Western firearms. If it had not been for the rise of Jianzhou and the natural and man-made disasters
Losing the national power of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps his firearms will be carried forward.
Later, there will be a man named Bi Maokang who will take over with Zhao Shizhen to make flintlock guns. It is a pity that by his time, the Ming court was already at the end of its strength. During the Chongzhen period, there was no time for him to improve it, nor the ability to make it.
This weapon was mass produced.
After all, the Ming Dynasty has been using three-eyed firecrackers on a large scale, not because of how powerful this thing is, but because it is easy to produce, cheap, and it doesn't hurt to throw it away after use.
Lao Zhang explained the origin of the previous firearms. Most of them were given by Emperor Wanli with the consent. After all, the power of firearms is still very impressive. Now there are new enemies. After the firearms are blessed with the Beidou Great God's Curse, they can exert great deterrence.
.
Normally, civilians are not allowed to hold firearms, but Ji Xiang is an official and one of the two ascendants. As a privileged class, there is nothing wrong with holding firearms. After all, considering the spells thrown by the ascended strong,
It's much more powerful than a firearm.
The main purpose of using firearms is to break some weird magic and things that are difficult to control with normal magic. A shot with a gun will often have miraculous effects. After the Dongyue Temple Incident, the current Ming army equipment is being enchanted by Lao Zhang in large quantities.
Therefore, the firearms in Ji Xiang's hands are all enchanted by Lao Zhang. These are serious upgraded firearms.
Among firearms, Lao Zhang also mentioned one person, and that was Zhao Shizhen. As a master of firearms in the late Ming Dynasty, Ji Xiang believed that he should visit Zhao Shizhen and provide him with inspiration for the Gatling gun. Maybe he could really
I made it with my simple machine tool at home...
Ashamed, this can be considered a small contribution to the Ming Dynasty.
After Ji Xiang went out, his appearance was so terrifying that not many people dared to approach him. Of course, some people in Shuntian recognized Ji Xiang and wondered where he was going to slay demons with this weapon.
"Nowadays, Taoist priests are all interested in this...it does look more powerful than traditional Taoist priests."
"Really, I saw Zhang Tianshi had a firearm on his waist. This thing is very useful for fighting those evil spirits and ghosts!"
"I was at Dongyue Temple back then, and I can testify."
On the road to the ruins, the Ming army soldiers on patrol greeted Ji Xiang, and at the same time, voices of discussion quietly sounded.
After leaving the imperial city, Ji Xiang did not go through the south main gate, nor did he go to the west gate, but went to the east city.
Because if you want to return to Wudang, taking the waterway from Dongcheng is the fastest. It only takes fifteen days to get from Shuntian to Yingtian.
The day is the water route.
After Yingtian, go up the Yangtze River and change the waterway into the Han River on the way to reach Wudang.
Zhao Shizhen's residence is also here. He is a seventh-rank petty official, so he cannot live in the imperial city area. He lives at the junction of the inner and outer cities with his friend. According to Lao Zhang, this point should
I am currently writing a book about firearms - "Artifact Spectrum".
But before he had gone far, Ji Xiang was stopped by someone.
Matteo Ricci arranged his clothes and appeared in front of Ji Xiang. He wanted to apply to enter the Imperial City before, but because of Nurhachi's incident, both the Forbidden City and the Imperial City were closed, and no outsiders were allowed to enter or leave. The Ministry of Rites of Yingtian
Shang Shu Laowang was also arranged to rest outside the imperial city... To put it simply, they were allowed to go in after an inspection.
Emperor Wanli also had no time because he went to see Concubine Shang, so Matteo Ricci and others stayed outside the imperial city.
Matteo Ricci now wanted to report the dangerous site of Dongyue Temple and ask the emperor to approve a note to build a church for him. However, this matter was rejected by peripheral personnel before Emperor Wanli knew about it.
"You use Jesus Christ to confront the immortal officials of the Song Dynasty. You are so powerful."
"I told them it didn't hurt to give it a try, and they scolded me like this."
When Matteo Ricci saw Ji Xiang, he came to establish a relationship. After all, he was a reader of his translated version of "Elements of Geometry". Since you have read my book, we are friends.
In the Ming Dynasty, there are many friends and many paths, not to mention that Ji Xiang is also the "religious leader" here. Matteo Ricci has already asked someone to popularize the soap-colored clothes on his body. He is a high-ranking official. I don't know his rank. Anyway, he is very
big.
After all, there are very few Taoist officials who are awarded by the imperial court to wear soap-colored clothes. Lao Zhang is one of them, but he usually wears cyan clothes and sometimes wears a cyan hat.
Having a good relationship with local religions is conducive to developing overseas business. Although polytheistic beliefs and monotheistic beliefs conflict, they are matters between gods and have nothing to do with us mortals. It is like God does not need
Go to the toilet, but I didn’t say that the priest didn’t need it.
Moreover, Matteo Ricci himself also had a nickname, called "Daxiyu Shanren", with the nickname "Xitai".
When Ji Xiang saw Matteo Ricci appearing, he suddenly had a thought!
When it comes to the usage of wishes and the like, isn’t Christianity the leader among them?
"Since we are friends, can you give me a Bible?"
Ji Xiang faced Matteo Ricci's self-consciousness and fought back unceremoniously!
Since we are all friends, can I buy your book for free?
However, the word "Bible" made Ricci stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said: "The Our Father is not called the Bible, but your name is not bad. I will change it later."
"But the scriptures cannot be given away for free! Do you want to be a believer? You are obviously not a religious believer, so you cannot give them away for free!"
"But I can sell it to you cheaper."
Matteo Ricci said that the Bible is the only guide for Christians to enter heaven. If you believe in Christ and have been baptized into Christianity, then the priest gives you the Bible as a friend, hoping that you will be blessed in this world and have a good place in the future.
But if you don’t believe in Christ, of course you can’t give it away. It’s not a question of whether you are a friend or not. You can get it for free if you join the church, just like 50 cents a pound for eggs in the supermarket, but you have to become a member. Otherwise, you can only buy them at the original price.
Ji Xiang stretched out a finger: "One-tenth of the original price?"
Matteo Ricci said: "No, just one copper coin will do."
This is a unique Western humor. Seeing Ji Xiang startled slightly, Ricci's beard trembled and said with a smile: "People in China are too serious and serious, and the relationship between friends cannot be measured by money. Of course, I
I also sincerely want to make friends with you.”
"I have been in Middle-earth for twelve years. I have met all kinds of people. Some are interested in profit, some are well-dressed, some are interested in power, and some are interested in beauty. When I first came here, I made many friends.
When there is nothing going on, it is difficult to tell whether a friend is true or false; in times of crisis, the love of a friend will be revealed."
"I have inquired a lot about you these days. I have learned about your good deeds in Xicheng, saving thousands of people from fire and water, and slaying demons without hesitation. I have decided that you are the kind of person with whom I can have a close friendship!"
"The God I believe in also told me the same thing: in times of crisis, I should lend a helping hand to those who are in trouble!"
