After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Mu Shan knew that he had no ability to govern the place. The Mu family had finally produced Mu Qing, so Mu Shan would naturally stand behind her.

No matter whether Mu Qing was determined to rebel or not, Mu Shan always believed in Mu Qing unconditionally.

The father and daughter looked at each other in silence for a long time.

Mu Qing lowered her head, put the letter back into the envelope intact, and then handed it back to Mu Shan:

"In short, I won't agree to this marriage."

"Okay, I'll help you reject it."

Mu Qing heaved a sigh of relief after getting Mu Qing's clear answer.

Just don't like women.

After Mu Shan arrived in Anping this time, Mu Qing did not let him go back to Huangxian.

She has always been curious about his father's talent for making friends widely.

The thirteen states were divided into different forces.

At present, there are three forces in Anping, Guangsha, Shucheng, Nanwan and Daozhou.

Xia Yue rose to prominence halfway through the war. After the leader of the refugee army, Chen Shui, had Zhuangzong imprisoned, many of the staff who had originally fled began to flee again.

Some staff members switched to Mu Qing, and some staff members also approached Xia Yue after knowing Xia Yue's existence.

Mu Qing never used those who came to join him.

It just so happens that Mu Shan is here, so we can let Mu Shan meet them. If there are people with real talent and knowledge, as long as they have a clean background, it would be perfect to use them.

According to the time calculation, it is now August. You Yi and Shangguan Yu are traveling with the merchants and goods to do business and pass on messages at the same time.

At present, they have left Shengjing and arrived in Nanwan.

Jiang He, who set out from Anping, had probably already arrived in Shengjing. At that time, the paper towels purchased by Jiang He were selling well in Anping, and there was probably also a market for them in Shengjing. The only difference was how much profit one could make.

It can be said that Mu Qing’s main source of information now relies more on businessmen.

After growing up in such a humble way for so long, it’s time for Anping to stand up.

It's summer.

The price of saltpeter has risen a lot. The saltpeter that Mu Qing stockpiled was used to make gunpowder, and the consumption was large. Mu Qing contacted several merchants to go around other cities to purchase goods.

Except for gunpowder being produced.

After Gongshujia had been in seclusion for a long time, the United Steel Works finally produced the first version of the flintlock rifle.

The flintlock was an improvement on the revolver musket.

Flintlock rifles dominated for a long time.

The army began to equip itself with flintlock rifles in the mid-17th century and continued to use them until 1848.

China invented the flintlock rifle very early on.

The basic structure of a flintlock is the same as that of a firearm, which uses the flint on the hammer to produce sparks and ignite the gunpowder.

Before the flintlock was the matchlock, which required a matchlock to ignite. If it was rainy, the gunpowder in the vent would easily be blown away by the wind or wet by the rain.

So Mu Qing planned to give Gongshu Yi the drawings of the flintlock rifle in one go.

This flintlock rifle is composed of a flint clip, a flint trigger, a powder pool, and a flint spring.

Gongshu Yi tried for a long time before he was able to make and debug a complete flintlock rifle.

Early flintlock rifles used black powder for firing, so the chamber pressure was not high.

In the Ming Dynasty and Europe of the same period until the mid-19th century, gun barrels were made of wrought iron. The wrought iron at that time was equivalent to low-carbon steel in the modern sense (carbon content between 0.02 and 0.2).

Anping had steel, so they replaced the barrel with a steel one.

When Mu Qing was standing on the lawn, Gongshu Yi had already come to the open space where gunpowder experiments were once conducted with guns and bullets.

This flintlock rifle was polished bit by bit by Gongshu Yi and the people of the Gongshu family.

His hand holding the flintlock was very steady at this moment.

Gongshu Yi thought that the grenades and explosives were shocking enough for him.

Until this flintlock was made by him himself.

A shield and a target were placed on the open space.

Soldier Bing, who had been with the Gongshu family team for a long time, took over the flintlock rifle from Gongshu Yi.

The manufacture of the flintlock rifle had always been kept secret, and Soldier Bing, who assisted Gongshu Yi in debugging the rifle, had the most experience in handling the rifle.

Since this was the first formal drill, most of the people present were from the military.

Mu Wu, Situ Jin and Xiang Quan all took their seats to watch the drill.

Situ Jin has become immune to the many new and strange things that the base produces from time to time.

Like the stick-shaped grenade, Situ Jin suspected that this flintlock rifle should also be a similar type of explosive gunpowder.

Mu Qing did not introduce himself, but directly asked Soldier C to shoot.

As the trigger is pulled, under the action of the spring, the flint is hit heavily against the edge of the firing port, sparks appear, and the gunpowder is ignited, firing.

A bullet shot out of the gun barrel and flew straight towards the target, piercing the wooden rake and hitting the ten ring.

Situ Jin's eyes were fixed on the shield.

With the second round of shooting, the bullets quickly hit the shield.

then……

The two-centimeter-thick shield was penetrated by the bullet at a distance of fifty meters!

"How can it be!"

Situ Jin stood up and wanted to take a closer look.

Gongshu Yi also looked at the drill with a complicated expression.

Although Gongshu Yi had seen the power of flintlock rifles many times, he was still deeply shocked when he saw the bullet penetrate the shield again.

Situ Jin walked all the way to the shield, and only accepted this fact after confirming it many times.

Such a spear can easily penetrate the shield.

If Situ Jin was wearing his old armor when facing this flintlock rifle, he would definitely be pierced.

Thinking of this, Situ Jin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, he was extremely glad that he was on Anping's side.

Compared to Situ Jin, who had more combat experience, Xiang Quan fell in love with the flintlock rifle at first sight.

Of course, it was impossible for the first gun made by Gongshu Yi to be given to the military camp. The parts of this gun would be used as templates for the time being.

Guns are difficult to make, so they can also be left to Shen Moyan and An Yin.

Flintlock rifles, grenades and gunpowder are all Mu Qing's secret weapons.

The refugee army has already seen the power of grenades, but this is limited to the refugee army.

If the forces from other cities attack Anping, Anping, with the addition of another weapon, will no longer be an easy target.

It was not until the flintlock rifle was successfully developed that Mu Qing felt a little less urgent.

Anping has a gun!

And it's a flintlock rifle!

The good news was confirmed, and Mu Qing ate two large bowls of rice as soon as he returned to his residence.

It's really not Mu Qingpiao, hot weapons are simply a dimensionality reduction attack in this era that still belongs to cold weapons!

As for the sneaky development, just ignore what she said. With a flintlock rifle, you can attack any city.

Anping, with its food and soldiers, is like a fortress. As long as the enemy dares to come, they are doomed to be buried under gunpowder.

Never underestimate the damage that thermal weapons can do to carbon-based organisms.

Half of the Gongshu family was researching flintlock rifles, and the other half was helping Mu Qing research artillery.

There has been constant news in Shucheng recently.

Xia Yue and the refugee army were in a complete fight. If Mu Qing hadn't been too busy, she would have definitely stirred up some trouble.
