"Some of these things are just some of Pindao's thoughts. If you can get some inspiration after reading them, that would be the best thing for Pindao."
Ji Xiang provided some help to Zhao Shizhen to the best of his ability. The rest of the manufacturing work was what Ji Xiang didn't understand. Maybe there were experts in Lishanhe specializing in weapon refining who could rub cannons by hand, but Ji Xiang didn't know how to do it.
device.
The ancients used to refine weapons, mostly to make tokens, flags and other magical items. Now in the new era, those big bosses in the mountains and rivers have followed the trend of the times, and it is normal for them to be able to make cannons and magical weapons.
Moreover, it was not just the Ming Dynasty that used firearms as magical weapons. The Japanese also regarded saltpeter as a sacred object, saying that it was dragon's excrement, which could explode and kill demons without any disadvantages.
At this time, Zhao Shizhen reviewed and studied the new drawings provided by Ji Xiang. There were some ideas that he had never thought of and were even eye-opening. The same was true for Duo Sima. Currently, the one they were more interested in was the flintlock gun.
However, this kind of thing, in fact, the world's first flintlock gun, will soon be born in the country of France. In this era, the France translated by Matteo Ricci is called "Franca".
"You are so proficient in the art of firearms?"
Zhao Shizhen looked moved. He was very excited when he heard that Ji Xiang was leaving after customizing the magical weapon, but he tried his best to persuade Ji Xiang to stay and contribute to the development of firearms!
He said that Ji Xiang was young but had unique insights into firearms. How could he just be a Taoist official? He should report to the court and be transferred to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army or the Ministry of War. Now he was leaving Shuntian, which made Zhao Shizhen very upset.
Regretful, long sighs.
"If Shangguan stays in Beijing and studies the art of firearms! Shizhen... I wish! Become my teacher! I will try my best to serve you in this life!"
Zhao Shizhen gave everything he had to firearms. He was obsessed and fanatical about the art of firearms. He worked hard for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, wrote books, and improved the weapons of Western countries. What he said now was all sincere!
Ji Xiang comforted him and gave him a small piece of paper with a list of names written on it. Of course, this was not a list of anti-revolutionary forces.
"These are the people who are really of great use to the development of firearms. You can give this thing to His Majesty and tell him that the development of firearms depends on human wisdom, not on the Four Books and Five Classics. To break the evil spirit of the Song Dynasty,
The development of firearms is a top priority, as well as the transformation of the gods of mountains and rivers, and the methods of Japanese ghosts and gods. With a weapon in hand and the power of Zhiyang coming out, mortals can destroy all kinds of magic. This is indeed a magical weapon.
!”
"Moreover, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty lies in the people, the wishes of all the people, and the incense of the people. If the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is unstable, these things may disappear or be stolen by others. I believe that Your Majesty will know what to do."
The increase in cultivators cannot be achieved in a short while. Ooyama and his strength is like this. If he shows up badly, he will definitely not be able to beat Lishanhe head-on.
There are only two ascendants and a few pure yangs here, but in the Lishan River, the ascendants are like clouds and the pure yangs are like rain. If you want to fight against Lishanhe, you can only rely on the magic-breaking power of firearms.
Ji Xiang made an agreement with Zhao Shizhen to pick it up the next time he returned to Shuntian. The fastest would be about a year later. If the situation in the Korean war changed, he would come back.
If there are no changes, come back after six years.
"By the way, if you can't do some processes, you can seek help from Master Zhang Tianshi..."
Lao Zhang is just a tool man, transporting tools wherever needed. A 120,000-level expert works as a lathe worker. This scene is really grand.
Zhao Shizhen kept these words in mind and was very grateful to Ji Xiang. He and Duosima sent Ji Xiang and the little fox to Jindu Wharf in Dongcheng area. Ji Xiang boarded the ship. It was getting late at this time, but Jindu Wharf
, still very busy.
"Shangguan! Shangguan!"
Suddenly, someone called Ji Xiang, and when he took a closer look, he turned out to be Matteo Ricci.
Although Matteo Ricci had no way to go to Zhao Shizhen's house, he came to the dock and helped Ji Xiang charter a large boat. This boatman was the same boatman he took when he arrived here from Yingtian. He had a good reputation and good skills.
Very strong.
I didn't expect Ji Xiang to finish things so quickly.
After boarding the ship, Ji Xiang felt deeply that he could not fly, which was due to his lack of realm.
Phew! The wind blew between heaven and earth. It was getting late. The cool breeze finally dared to appear at this time. The ship began to sail out on the river. Ji Xiang said goodbye to a few people:
"A gentleman sees an opportunity, and a wise man knows his destiny. When you are old, you will be strong, and you would rather have a gray-headed heart. When you are poor, you will be strong, and you will not fall into the clouds!"
A gentleman can understand the opportunity, and a wise person knows his destiny. Although he is old, his ambition should be stronger. How can he change his mood when he is old? Although the situation is difficult, his integrity should be more firm, and he must never abandon his ambition!
This is a passage in the preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion. Several people bowed and said goodbye to Ji Xiang.
Zhao Shizhen and Duo Sima were determined to rely on fitters to make those firearms. Matteo Ricci was even more determined to take over the sinister house of Dongyue Temple to build a church...
........
"Your Majesty, senior brother has left Shuntian."
Lao Zhang noticed Ji Xiang's departure at this time and informed Emperor Wanli.
At the same time, several people Ji Xiang visited were also noticed by Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang also knew what Ji Xiang said. However, Lao Zhang smiled and ignored Emperor Wanli's inquiry.
"Your Majesty can summon them tomorrow, and there may be a huge harvest in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart."
"If you don't tell me, wouldn't it be too funny if I are led away by them?"
Emperor Wanli was a little unhappy: "Can't you tell me the name of the person on the small piece of paper Ji Xiang stuffed?"
Lao Zhang said: "If you say it, there will be no sense of expectation. Many times, the initial reaction to something will give you the most special experience and even affect many future decisions."
"I can only tell you, senior brother, please open your eyes."
Emperor Wanli fell silent, puzzled. After a while, he could only say: "Well, since it is the useful thing Ji Xiang said, I must see it. Maybe the opportunity for the Ming Dynasty's transformation will be
It lies in this.”
"He has been traveling in Fuli for thousands of years, and he must have seen more things than me... By the way, Lao Zhang, I also want to practice cultivation, can you help me?"
Lao Zhang laughed: "Human energy is limited. With all due respect, you do not have the wisdom and energy of Emperor Jiajing. Although Emperor Jiajing's bones are also very poor, your bones are worse than him. Emperor Jiajing
You can cultivate to the six realms, but I'm afraid you can only cultivate to the three realms..."
Emperor Wanli almost spurted blood, but Lao Zhang said:
"Many times, things like root bones really have certain characteristics. If the predecessors have good root bones, the chance of good root bones in future generations will be higher. And you and Emperor Jiajing are not of the blood of Emperor Zhengde, and you
Your birth is also related to the art of left-handedness. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons that affects the root bones. And the reason why your father, Emperor Longqing, died early is probably inseparable from the heir's extension of the law, so...
..”
Lao Zhang hesitated to speak. Emperor Wanli asked Lao Zhang not to have any taboos. He sighed and asked Lao Zhang to continue speaking.
"So the root bones of Emperor Zhengde have been severed. Emperor Jiajing used left-handed techniques to reshape the immortal bones for himself. Even so, it took decades. If you want to reshape the root bones, you must obtain an item.
.”
"Before, when senior brother defeated Nurhachi, do you remember that Nurhaci's backbone was broken, but he did not die and was still full of vitality?"
"If he is not gifted, then he has obtained the 'heavenly marrow' that can completely transform him."
"Legend has it that this object came from the gold and bronze Immortal Dew Tray of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty..."
