Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Everyone around was stunned!

What the hell is this kid doing! He actually dismantled the admiral's pistol in the blink of an eye!

Long Ruyuan on the side was furious, because he knew that this was the admiral's sweetheart!

Long Ruyuan, showing off his prowess, shouted, "Boy, how dare you destroy my beloved things without permission? Come, take him down!"

"Wait a minute, all of you step back!"

Shi Rongchun barely suppressed the shock in his heart and shouted.

This young man is so amazing. Not only did he recognize the origin of the gun, he was also able to skillfully disassemble it. I'm afraid there is no other person like him in the entire Qing Dynasty!

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Sir, you see, the retaining spring inside is rusted. It needs to be cleaned. Unfortunately, I don't have anything handy, so I can only wipe it with my clothes."

Having said this, Liu Ye tore off a piece of cloth, dipped a little kerosene next to the cannon, and cleaned the retaining spring of the pistol. Although there was still some rust, it was much better than before!

Liu Ye didn't waste any time talking to the crowd. His hands started moving quickly again. In a blink of an eye, the pile of parts turned back into a revolver!

For a gun master of his generation, how could a small Colt revolver be a problem for him?

Liu Ye finished assembling the pistol, looked at the two bullets still in the chamber, and suddenly raised his right hand!

boom!

About seventy or eighty steps away, between the two gun barrels, a rope used to hang clothes suddenly broke, and all the clothes fell down!

Everyone present shrank back in fear. Oh my god, that's a foreign rifle, a musket! It's incredibly powerful! This kid is such a fool! He actually dared to fire a gun in front of the admiral. How presumptuous!

However, Shi Rongchun's pupils suddenly shrank. What a powerful shooting skill!

At a distance of seventy or eighty steps, he shot down the clothesline in the distance. You know, there was a gentle breeze at that time, and there were a few pieces of clothes on the clothesline, swaying in the wind, and the clothesline was also swaying around. It was extremely difficult to hit it!

This kid actually has such high abilities, where did this monster come from!

However, He Zhengqing could no longer sit still at this time. He was too presumptuous. He fired at will in front of the admiral. If he hurt the admiral, he would be killed!

He Zhengqing kicked Liu Ye again, shouting, "How dare you! Are you trying to rebel? How dare you commit violence in front of the Admiral?"

Liu Ye was startled and quickly jumped to the side.

"He Zhengqing, stop it!"

Shi Rongchun shouted, "Fuck you! If you can fix your pistol in a split second and knock down that clothesline with one shot, I'll let you shoot in front of me! If you don't have that ability, just stay still!"

He Zhengqing's face flushed as he stepped aside. What a joke! Forget repairing a pistol. I've never fiddled with one before, and you've never been willing to let me touch one! Not to mention shooting down a clothesline in the distance. Even with the bow and arrow, which he was best at, it was difficult to do, let alone with a pistol?

Shi Rongchun looked at Liu Ye with a sharp gaze and said, "Young man, is this all you have?"

Liu Ye looked at the expressions of everyone present and knew that he had frightened them. At the very least, they should not think of punishing him for the trivial matter before!

Liu Ye chuckled and said, "Sir, I have other skills, but this..."

Shi Rongchun asked, "What's wrong? Are you still hesitating?"

Liu Ye replied: "Admiral, no matter how great my own ability is, facing tens of thousands of British and French devils, even if I am made of iron, it is difficult to withstand their long guns and cannons. I have heard that in Guangzhou, our Qing Dynasty was beaten to a pulp by the British and even lost the city of Guangzhou. Even if I am powerful, if I were placed in Guangzhou, would I be able to turn the tide? I don't think I have that ability. War relies on advanced tactics, advanced weapons, and advanced training. Admiral, we are not as good as them. How can we repel their warships when they arrive at Dagukou? You only have a revolver, which is already in disrepair, but how many rifles and cannons do the British have? As the saying goes, even gods cannot escape a puff of smoke. We only rely on flesh and blood, no matter how many people we have, it is useless!"

Shi Rongchun was stunned by Liu Ye's words. "Yes, facing the foreigners' guns and cannons, what good would our numbers do? The British were well-trained, and the Eight Banner soldiers were opium addicts. What good would it do to have more people? Was this war doomed to be lost from the start? I've really found a treasure today. Just this knowledge alone shows that this guy is no ordinary person!"

Shi Rongchun replied, "Young man, you really surprised me. I never thought that there were hidden talents in the Dagu Fort. Zhengqing, how could you not have discovered it?"

He Zhengqing on the side quickly bowed and said, "Yes, sir, it was my fault for not leading the troops properly. Please punish me!"

Shi Rongchun waved his hand and said, "No need. This little thing is nothing compared to the fact that you were able to bring little Liu Ye to me! Haha, you may not know yet, just as Liu Ye said, the city of Guangzhou has really been captured by the British. The Guangzhou navy and the Green Camp soldiers were defeated by the British. Why did they fail? Have you ever thought about it?"

Everyone didn't say anything and listened quietly.

Shi Rongchun continued, "As Liu Ye said, ultimately, victory or defeat in war is determined by people. We are inferior to the Westerners in training, command, and morale. Yue Fei once said, 'Only when civil officials are not greedy for money and military commanders are not afraid of death can there be peace under heaven.' And now? As soon as we engage the Westerners, our generals desert the battlefield. Do you think we still have a chance of victory?"

Long Ruyuan and He Zhengqing on the side said in unison: "Don't worry, sir! If the foreigners attack Dagukou, we will not retreat a single step. If they want to reach Dagukou, they can only do so by stepping on our corpses!"

Liu Ye smiled bitterly and said, "My Lords, please forgive my frankness. If we rely solely on a desperate battle, we may have a certain hope of repelling the foreigners' attack at Dagukou, but this is not enough for us to completely defeat them. The firearms of those foreign devils are unparalleled in the world. India to the southwest is a country with a strong national strength and a large population, and is not much inferior to ours. In the end, it was not conquered by their foreign guns and artillery. If we want to win the battle, we must equip a large number of firearms and have elite soldiers and generals who are not afraid of death..."
