Chapter 837

”Emperor, Cao Zhengyang has explained everything. "

after entering the imperial study, Li San gives a confession to Xiao Ming.

Since Cao Zhengyang was arrested, they have been interrogated for one month. At the beginning, Cao Zhengyang's mouth was very hard, and he refused to admit that he was deliberately damaged by the Cao family. Even though Li San used some criminal laws, Cao Zhengyang still refused to say.

In the end, Li San had to put Cao Zhengyang in the confinement room, and woke him up when he was about to fall asleep. After three days, Cao Zhengyang, who could not stand the mental torture, finally vomited out.

"It was Cao Kun's order." Xiao Ming looked at the confession and said that Cao Zhengyang made it clear that it was Cao Kun who sent the message to him.

In addition, Cao Zhengyang also gave some important information about the state of Chu.

"The merchant Council was set up a month ago. Now Cao Kun is the speaker. Cao Zhengtong, Cao Zhengyang's elder brother, is the head of the Wei palace. According to Cao Zhengyang, the merchant Council is planning to gain military power. If they succeed, the king of Chu will become a puppet. "These news also shocked Li San. In his opinion, a businessman's pursuit of government affairs has shocked the world, and now he is still trying to get involved in the army.

Xiao Ming was also surprised. "King Chu must be crazy. Once he gets military power, he has the final say. "

" the state of Chu knows the West better than we do, and the Cao family talked to the king of Chu about the Western monarch more than once. Between life and death, he may believe in the Cao family more. "Li San said cautiously.

Xiao Ming sighs. Now the problem lies in this place. No matter how well he shows his kindness, the king of Chu refuses to believe him. Now he firmly believes that even if he surrenders, Xiao Ming will eventually kill him. It can only be said that the state of Chu is too smart.

He said, "you're right. Now the king of Chu doesn't believe me, so he won't surrender to me at all. "

Li Sanwen laughed and said," emperor, this may not be a good thing. We have some scruples about the king of Chu. If the Cao family controls the merchant Council and then obtains military power, then the emperor doesn't have to worry about the king of Chu. Whether the king of Chu is against or not, we all have sufficient reasons to go south. If the emperor wants to make the state of Chu show its original shape quickly, maybe the emperor can To send secret guards to assassinate the king of Chu. "

Xiao Ming also thought of this. Now Li Chuyuan, the son of the king of Chu, is in Qingzhou. Once the king of Chu dies, Li Chuyuan must go back to succeed him. This is the rule of the state of Dayu.

The king of Chu may be willing to share his rights with others in order to live secretly, but Li Chuyuan won't agree. After all, he is the next king of Chu.

"I think the same way. Since the king of Chu let me not live in peace, why did I let the king of Chu live in peace? As long as the king of Chu died, I could let Li Chuyuan go back to fight with the Cao family. I can't say that Li Chuyuan asked me to send troops to save him at that time, don't you think?"

Xiao Ming has made up his mind. As the saying goes, the military, the national affairs, the land of life and death, and the way of survival and death must be observed. War can never be willful at any time. The failure of the contemporary United States in Vietnam and North Korea is enough to illustrate this problem.

Advanced weapons are not necessarily able to win the war, or even victory has paid a heavy price.

This is not what Xiao Ming wants to see, so even if the state of Dayu is equipped with advanced firearms, he still plans every war and then moves, trying every means to reduce losses, or directly subdues the soldiers without fighting.

"The emperor is wise. In this way, he can not only gain time for the deployment of troops, but also reduce casualties. At the same time, he is famous for his division." Li San said.

Xiao Ming continued to read the news disclosed by Cao Zhengyang. In addition to the Parliament and the army, the Cao family and France are also colluding and buying a lot of Western firearms.

At the same time, other merchants who supported the king of Chu also spared no effort to help him, trying to get rid of his rule.

"It seems that I'm going to have a serious talk with Li Chuyuan. By the way, I'll give him a fan." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

After a pause, he said, "do you have confidence in assassinating the king of Chu? "

Li San laughed twice and said," emperor, it's said that song Changping is developing a kind of musket that can load ammunition from the butt of the musket. This kind of musket can shoot in any posture, and its accuracy and firing speed are better than those of Zhenglu musket. If the emperor can give this kind of musket to the next officer, it's not a big problem. "

He is not surprised that Li San knows the secret, because song Changping, Lin Wentao and others are under the surveillance of the secret guards. They get some information and say it's normal for Li San.

Even if song Changping had any news, Li San would know, even earlier than he knew.

As soon as his voice fell, a little eunuch came to the door and whispered a few words to Qian Dafu. Qian Dafu said with a smile, "emperor, this is really about Cao Cao. When Cao Cao arrives, song Changping asks to see him outside the palace."

Xiao Ming squinted at Li San and said, "it seems you already know."

Li San scratched his head with a smile.

After waiting for a while, song Changping went to the door of the imperial study and saw that song Changping was holding a musket in his hand. He was surprised and said, "Song Changping, this is not a breech gun, is it?"

Song Changping nodded, he said: "exactly, Xiaguan has tested it in the school. This firearm can shoot directly with paper shell bullets. It's just because of the complexity of the locking structure, I'm afraid it's very difficult to refit the firearm in large quantities. After all, there are only 63 parts on the locking mechanism, and the shapes of many parts are not the same. In order to produce this kind of firearm Spare parts need more precise machine tools. "Xiao Ming understands that song Changping is not here to ask for credit this time, but to complain. In fact, the locking structure needs high machining accuracy, which can only be achieved with a high-precision lathe, otherwise it can't be produced on a large scale.

I think that the difference of part size can't realize assembly at all.

It seems that in order to explain the breech gun in his hand, he said: "it took a month for me to assemble this gun by polishing the parts myself. Even so, the combination of some parts is not very suitable, but on the whole, it can barely be used."

Xiao Ming took over the breech gun. The locking structure of the gun was provided by him to song Changping. Generally speaking, the gun is similar to the sharps breech gun. The locking structure also adopts a falling locking mechanism. The thickened trigger retainer acts as a pull rod to drive a lifting locking block to move up and down to open and close the gun.

The most difficult part is one of the hinge structures. There are many structural parts, which is also the processing difficulty song Changping said.

"Originally, I had to prepare to look for you after I finished this money business." Xiao Ming said: "this gun is only used as a sniper gun in the army for the time being. Since it is difficult, we need to make a small amount of equipment for the army. I want Lin Wentao to think about this precision lathe."
