Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 705 New Weapons

Zhao Mengfei's body trembled, and then he spoke loudly and firmly.

"Please give me your orders, Grand Master. As long as my father can be rescued, I will obey you."

Grand Tutor Wan nodded and said, "Send your family back, and go home to select a few skilled assassins, and wait for news from me."

Zhao Mengfei kowtowed several times on the ground, then stood up and walked out.

Grand Tutor Wan called the housekeeper over again and whispered a few words in his ear.

The butler took Grand Tutor Wan's badge and rushed to the palace overnight.

When Lin Feng returned to Kuncheng, he locked himself in the house and began to study new weapons.

According to his previous thinking, since we have cannons, can we also equip and use muskets?

Of course, the kind of musket that fires steel balls is not powerful enough and has limited lethality.

Lin Feng wanted to make more advanced weapons.

He began to sketch on paper, and based on his memories of his previous life and the current technical conditions, he quickly came up with a highly feasible design.

The musket designed by Lin Feng was called a shotgun in the previous life. The bullets it fired were also made in advance, avoiding the disadvantage of the musket's slow loading.

I originally wanted to design a five-shot rifle, but unfortunately, I really couldn’t remember how to make those key components.

After studying it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out, so I had to give up on continuous shooting and make a safe one first, shooting and loading one by one.

Once this weapon is successfully trial-produced, it will be invincible within fifty steps.

It is also a killing weapon on the battlefield that is more powerful than artillery.

The accessories of the musket can be left to Zhu Jie to make, but the production of bullets still needs to be developed by Xi Niang's Tianlei Technology Team.

No matter which R&D technician, he only develops and produces some accessories.

As for assembling the finished product, it must be someone you trust very much.

Lin Feng spent three days drawing the drawings of all the parts, then called Xi Niang and Zhu Jie and assigned them to start making them according to the drawings.

Of course, even if it is made, it may not be useful. It will take several more experiments.

This thing is very dangerous during the experimental stage and may explode if not handled properly.

Accurate data on the amount of gunpowder in bullets and the number of steel balls need to be collected during experiments.

Lin Feng spent two hours studying and explaining this seemingly small musket bullet with Xi Niang and several of her technicians.

Pure copper base, aluminum shell, cardboard seal, steel balls the size of mung beans... just these materials were enough to surprise several people.

Isn't this just burning money?

The technical staff led by Zhu Jie also looked at the shotgun drawings and each of them thought about how to make the data more precise and detailed.

This one item alone involves many craftsmen.

Lin Feng explained everything one by one, patiently repeating it over and over again.

very busy.

Cheng Liang is also making rapid progress.

Because of Jiao Sanqiang's confession, Zhao Wenqi didn't resist for long and began to confess his crimes.

Once a person gives up resistance, he no longer hides anything.

Zhao Wenqi's confession was even longer, covering nine large sheets of paper, filled with writing. Lin Feng spent a long time reading it at his desk.

He could see from Zhao Wenqi's misdeeds the various unspoken rules of court officials and the various rules of conduct of royal members.

These people are fighting for the power and their own interests, and humanity is rarely seen here.

The more dignified a person appears, the more dirty and vile he behaves in private.

In their eyes, ethics and court laws are just tools to restrain ordinary people, and the higher the official position, the further away they are from the law.

After a long time, Lin Feng raised his head and let out a long breath.

"Oh my god, this really opened my eyes."

There are four staff officers in the command center. Although they have nothing to do normally, they still insist on going to work and leaving get off work on time.

The four people read Zhao Wenqi's confession one by one and all shook their heads and sighed.

Ju Chaoyue and Wei Ming looked at each other.

"Fuck, I finally understand why I can't get promoted to the rank of general despite all my military achievements."

"Yeah, there are too many wolves and too little meat, so they have to balance it out. It all depends on who pays more, who runs harder, and who calls me dad the most affectionately."

General Dang Guihong of the Zhen Army had not yet reached this level, so he did not have much feeling.

But Luo Shidong frowned and said.

"You guys are promoted so quickly. Kyoto is the capital of the emperor, and the streets are full of high-ranking officials. But we, the border troops, are like orphaned children. No one cares about us, and we have to rely on ourselves."

Ju Chaoyue said with a smile: "You are the general of the army here, and you are also a high-ranking official. You are in charge of the military affairs of a region and you have the final say. What about us? Even though our rank is not low, we can't control anything."

Wei Ming shook his head: "Who said we can't control it? When we charge into battle, we must set an example and take the lead."

Luo Shidong laughed and said, "It's true that you lead the charge, and if you die, you'll get a generous pension. But if we die on the battlefield, where will we get the money to give you?"

As he spoke, he stood up and turned around.

"Look, this outfit was bought by the commander-in-chief. Otherwise, my butt would be exposed in my uniform."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone burst into laughter because of what he said so interestingly.

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Everyone, if you have time, you can discuss the next counterattack plan of our Imperial Guards. We cannot let the rebels spy on the side of Kyoto City and seriously affect the emperor's mood."

Ju Chaoyue curled his lips and said, "With us blocking the way in front, how can it affect their mood?"

Dang Guihong gave a thumbs up.

"Master Commander is the pillar of stability in the imperial court. With you here, none of the bigwigs are worried and are still worrying about how to climb up the ladder."

"That's absolutely true. After this battle, the rebels dared not act recklessly. They huddled in fear within the city walls."

Wei Ming speaks little, but he can still add a few words.

Luo Shidong bowed and said, "Commander, the court only values ​​our existence because of the rebels lurking nearby. Once you lead us to quell the rebellion, I'm afraid..."

Even without saying the rest, everyone understands the meaning.

"The meaning of our existence as soldiers lies here. In troubled times, we should bravely move forward. In prosperous times, we should enjoy life later."

Ju Chaoyue said self-deprecatingly.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Everyone work hard. After the rebellion is quelled, I will give you fair treatment."

Upon hearing this, the four people immediately stood up and saluted.

"We will follow the commander, so there is no need to worry. We will definitely redouble our efforts."

Cheng Liang had been waiting for a long time. After seeing Lin Feng finish reading Zhao Wenqi's confession, he came closer.

"General, what should we do with Zhao Wenqi and Jiao Sanqiang?"

"How to deal with him is the court's business. We just need to provide evidence. Let's lock him up for now. Someone will inevitably come forward to complain."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Cheng Liang bowed and then walked out.

As soon as we reached the door, soldiers came in.

"Report, Commander-in-Chief, Eunuch Han has come to the palace to deliver a letter."

Lin Feng nodded: "You are welcome."

Not long after, Han Su strode in with a smile on his face.

He bowed and congratulated as soon as he entered the door.

"Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief. Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief."
