Chapter 623 Big Killer

On the morning of July 9th, Zhengde ended the early morning. Before arriving, six or seven ordinary people went out of Donghua Gate. One of them got into a carriage, and the rest rode the horse to follow the carriage all the way south. Half an hour later, they left the city from Yongding Gate.

The scenery outside the city is beautiful. July is the season when everything is flourishing. The big trees on both sides of the flat official road are towering, and the lush leaves are ringing in the wind. The people in the carriage poked their heads out of the carriage, took a deep breath of air, closed their eyes and praised, "It's so comfortable. I haven't been out of the palace for a long time. There is no good scenery outside in the palace. It's simply boring. Today's weather is good, the scenery is good, and the mood is good. It can't be better.

Zhang Yongqing, who was riding by the car, leaned down and smiled and said, "As long as the emperor is happy, it's all because of the slaves and maidservants. I don't usually want to relieve the emperor's boredom. Today, I still thank Lord Song, otherwise there will be no chance."

Zhengde nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, Song Nan, you should go out with me more in the future. Well, it's really not fun to have a good time in the palace. I know that you are afraid that those people in the foreign court will say that you will intice me to play, right?

Song Nan dressed in an ordinary robe and came immediately with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not afraid. We are secretly out of the palace to do serious things, but we just don't want to be discovered; we don't go out to play in the mountains and rivers. Even if we are known by the foreign court, we are not afraid."

Zhengde laughed and said, "What is said is that we are doing serious things. Where is the place you mentioned? Is it far away?"

Song Nan pointed to the south and said, "I don't want to, ten miles south of the city, it will arrive in a moment. I have ordered people to be ready and wait for the emperor to make a final determination.

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go quickly." Speaking of which, he shrank back. Song Nan waved his hand and ordered, and the group of people rushed straight to Shilizhuang in the south of the city. Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the foot of the nameless hill in Shilizhuang. Unlike the grassland wildflowers on the former hillside, long stone steps have been built on this hillside. Thick ropes are driven up and down the slope. The deep ruts on the flat gravel road on the side of the stone steps are clearly visible. Obviously, vehicles often go up and down the mountain here.

Song Nan led Zhengde to the hillside. After a moment, she saw several rows of houses built on the flat ground in the small valley behind the hillside. Song Nan pointed to it and said, "Your Majesty, it's right there. Let's go downhill."

Zhengde wiped his sweat and said, "You know how to choose a place. This small mountain bag doesn't look big, but I didn't expect there to be a valley with a cave."

Song Nan said, "This was originally under the jurisdiction of my manor. Naturally, we have to find some hidden * things to carry out. Otherwise, the movement is too big. After thinking about it, we still need to find a place outside the city, so we can choose here."

Zhengde nodded, and everyone went to the valley. Song Nan quickly walked to one of the rooms, where there was a continuous jingle. Song Nan stood under the grass shed at the door and shouted, "Qingli, Kou'er, are you inside?"

Before the words fell, two people flew out of the room like butterflies. Both of them were full of dirt and their hair was messy. Lu Qingli flew to her. Although Yang Kooer remained reserved, she could not hide the surprise on her face.

Lu Qingli rushed over and held his dirty hands. Song Nan hurriedly said, "The emperor is coming, don't be rude."

Lu Qingli and Yang Kouer were shocked and hurriedly stopped to look at the group behind Song Nan. Zhengde came forward with a smile and said, "Song Nan, are these two smart ladies in your house?"

Song Nan was too lazy to explain her relationship with Yang Koer and only nodded and said, "Exactly, the two concubines don't understand the rules. They are almost rude in front of the emperor. Please forgive me. Qingli, Kou'er, haven't you seen the emperor?"

Lu Qingli and Yang Kouer were busy saluteing. Zhengde stared at Lu Qingli and Yang Kouer and said, "No gifts."

Song Nan was shocked when she saw Zhengde's look and remembered that Zhengde's taste for women was a little special. In case he liked his wife and fell in love with his little concubine, it would be a trouble. Qingli and Yang Keer should have avoided it today.

But Fortunately, Zhengde only looked a few times and then turned his head to Song Nan and said, "Where is the thing you want to show me?"

Song Nan pointed to the room and said, "In the room, Qingli, the emperor came to check the test firing of the rocket launcher today and asked people to prepare. Let's test a few rounds outside for the emperor to have a look."

Qing Li answered, turned her head and shouted loudly, "Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhao, immediately prepare to test the rocket launcher."

Someone promised that more than a dozen people were busy back and forth for a long time. After a while, two horses pulled a big guy covered with black felt cloth and slowly came out of the gate.

Song Nan, Zhengde and others dodged the road. The horse pulled the big guy past him. It could be seen that the heavy wheels grinded a deep gully on the gravel ground. The horse pulling the cart was also a little difficult, and the people behind him pushed it from time to time, which showed that the thing was heavy.

Everyone slowly followed and walked slowly to the depths of the valley. After walking to the empty place, they stopped the horse. After the horse removed the sleeve and pulled it away, more than a dozen clerks stood still waiting for the order. Lu Qingli whispered, "Brother, come and give the order."

Song Nan nodded with a smile and arched his hand to Zheng De and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for the emperor to see the true face of this thing and open the felt cloth."

Zhengde couldn't wait for a long time. He waved his hand and said, "Go quickly."

Song Nan stepped forward, quickly untied the rope that tied the four corners, stood on the base and lifted the felt cloth with a hula. A big black and strange-shaped big guy appeared in front of the crowd, emitting a blue reflection in the sun, with a cold breath.

The sound of people coming together is breathing. This thing makes people a little scared just by looking at the shape. The dense eight rows of fire tubes are black, facing themselves, and their cold hair immediately stands up.

Zhengde slowly stepped forward and turned around the rocket gun. Song Nan introduced: "This is 64 rocket gun, and the base can rotate in all directions and strike; there is an iron anvil cushion plate under the fire pipe, which can adjust the direction of the upper and lower by increasing and reducing the number; the shield plate in the rear, The soldiers operate in the rear to prevent the enemy's fire and crossbow from killing..."

Zhengde's face changed color, and he was surprised. He reached out and stroked the rocket and said, "Song Nan, I didn't expect that you could figure out this thing. It's not easy."

Song Nan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to deceive you. I know that privately building firearms is a serious crime. I'm not unwilling to make it public, but even if I report the drawings to the court, I'm afraid it will be over. At the beginning, the emperor was not unaware of the fate of the double-tube gunfire shotgun. The Armed Forces Department of the Ministry of War thought that the construction was too expensive, so he would not make it. I had exhausted my family property and built more than 100 pieces of equipment in the Jinyi Guards. Facts have proved that these things have played a great role in suppressing thieves and peaceful rebellion.

Zhengde nodded and said, "Let's talk about these words later. Now what I'm looking forward to most is to see how powerful he is. Can you show me?"

Song Nan said, "Yes."

Song Nan asked Zhengde and his entourage to retreat to the distance. After more than a dozen workers in the manufacturing workshop tested and confirmed that it was correct, Song Nan gave an order and 64 rounds of thickened steel ball shotnel bullets. After adjusting the direction and location of the shooting, Song Nan picked up the sleeve tube and shook the flint turntable in person, clicked. The king jumped, and sparks appeared on the flint, igniting dozens of fuses.

In the sneering smoke, there was a sudden roar, like a stuffy thunder rolling in the clear sky. More than three feet of lengthened and thickened pipes spewed out fire. In the thick smoke, you can see the smoke and dust in the middle of the opposite cliff, and a thick yellow smoke exploded on the sand and gravel soil, which began to collapse after a moment.

The sound of "boom" was endless. Zhengde covered his ears and opened his mouth and stared at the stone soil collapsed on the cliff, indescribably surprised.

Finally, sixty-four tubes of gunshots were fired, and the mud and stone weeds on the cliff still collapsed for a while, and then everything calmed down. There was still a buzzing echo in everyone's ears, which was a little hard to recover.

Zhengde quickly came to the rocket, looked up at the cannonball emitting smoke, and reached out to touch it. Song Nan said quickly, "Be careful of hot hands."

Zhengde had pulled back his hand in pain. Zhang Yong hurried to check Zhengde's hand, which was only red, and there was nothing serious.

"Song Nan, I'm really shocked that this thing has such divine power that I never thought of it." Despite the pain in his hand, Zhengde's eyes did not leave this iron guy for a moment, and his eyes were full of awe.

"The emperor is still shocked. The maidservant was so scared that there were two wars, and I almost rolled my ass." Zhang Yong laughed.

Song Nan laughed and said, "It's good that you didn't disappoint the emperor. How about the emperor personally ignite and launch a round?"

Zhengde was full of spirit and said repeatedly, "Okay, I'm going to test a round."
