Bang!
Ye Zhen took a few steps back and looked at the gun in her hand in surprise. The power of this gun was so great! She looked at Ye Yiqing next to her in shock. "Dad, this … how did you do it?"
What is this? Because he was worried about the historical progress of this era, he had not developed a lighter and more powerful machine gun. Currently, he was only using a flintlock, but he had improved it a little. This flintlock could fire several shots in a row, which was better than a traditional flintlock.
Latest update …
"It can only be used at sea. It will be destroyed when we go back in the future." If it were not to ensure that they could escape unscathed when they encountered pirates at sea, Ye Yiqing would not have thought of making guns and cannons.
When Ye Zhen heard this, she looked down at the gun in her hand. "Dad, since you can make this kind of gun, why don't you let people make more? If this is used on the battlefield, it will be invincible. The Northern Ming Kingdom will not be an opponent at all."
"Which emperor do you think would be willing to win just one war after getting their hands on this thing? When the time comes, they would want to invade others. Yaoyao, human ambition is endless. They would want more after getting what they want. When the time comes, the world would be in chaos and the people would lose their homes. This situation is unavoidable," Ye Yiqing said in a low voice. "So, I've destroyed the manufacturing methods of these guns and cannons. No one will be able to make the same thing again."
"Will those blacksmiths and people who make guns … remember the methods?" Ye Zhen asked. She looked down at the gun in her hand. Although she was not an emperor, she also understood that once this gun fell into the hands of Mo Rongzhan or Zhao Yong, it would be of great use. At that time, it would be either the Jin Kingdom invading the Qi Kingdom or the Qi Kingdom conquering the Jin Kingdom.
She understood Ye Yiqing's painstaking efforts. He did not want the things he made to eventually become the culprit of harm to the people.
Ye Yiqing said with a smile, "The structure of this gun is complicated. Several parts are made by different people. They do not know each other's existence. Even if they make it, they do not know its use. Don't worry."
It turned out that her father was prepared.
Ye Zhen was relieved. "That's good. Daddy, teach me how to use this gun. How can you hit the bull's eye? Why can't I hit it?"
"There's a difference between a gun and an arrow," Ye Yiqing said with a smile. "Put your hand here …"
"That's enough with you father and daughter!" Zhao Yang walked out of the cabin and saw the father and daughter playing happily on the deck. She was annoyed and amused at the same time. "Yaoyao, do you still remember that you're in confinement?"
Ye Zhen laughed dryly, "I remember, how can I not remember? Have Ming Xi and Ming Yu woken up?"
"She just woke up and is crying. Even the wet nurse can't coax her. Ever since you held her by your side and fed her a few times, she doesn't even want the wet nurse anymore," Zhao Yang said in a bad mood.
"I'll go and see them," Ye Zhen said with a smile, putting the musket on her waist. She felt that the musket was much better than the sleeve dart.
Since she knew that she could come and go freely in her space and that the Spirit Spring had begun to recover, she fed the two little guys a little every day. She was worried that Ming Xi would have some reaction after drinking it. It would be bad if he was stimulated to remember that he was a little bird in his previous life. However, everything seemed to be normal. Ming Xi was still Ming Xi. Except that he was quieter than Ming Yu, there was no strange behavior.
After a few days, their ship finally arrived at Baoxiang Kingdom.
Baoxiang Kingdom was the first country to the Atlantic Ocean. Because it was not particularly far from the inland sea, some of their merchants would still go to Jin or Qi to do business. However, it took too long to go back and forth. In addition, the weather on the sea was changeable. Sometimes, people who went out might not be able to return. Therefore, not many people were willing to leave their own country.
Probably because there were few foreign ships, there were almost no docks along the coast of Baoxiang Kingdom. They could only find an uninhabited beach to dock.
"Second Uncle, we have to go and exchange some food so that we can have more food at sea." Ye Chundong said.
"I'll go with you," Ye Yi Qing nodded. "Yaoyao, you stay on the ship."
Ye Zhen immediately disagreed. "That's certainly not possible. It's not easy to come to Baoxiang Kingdom. How can I just wait on the ship?"
"Do you want to take the two children with you to the city?" Zhao Yang glared at her.
"Why not?" Ye Zhen laughed. "I've read the travelogue. There are many foreigners coming and going from Baoxiang Kingdom. Moreover, their dress is different from ours. Even the women have to cover their faces. Even if we walk on the road, we won't attract attention."
Ye Yiqing laughed. "If we don't let her go to the city, she will definitely sneak in by herself. The others stay and watch the ship. Let's go in."
Those who could follow Ye Yiqing were all trustworthy. He was very clear about the ability of these people and knew that they would definitely protect the ship.
In this way, Ye Yiqing took Ye Zhen and Zhao Yang. The two children were held in the arms of Hong Ling and the others. Ye Chundong and Cao Yu followed them and called two more people who were better at martial arts to protect the two children all the way.
After reaching the shore, it didn't take long for them to see fields that could be ploughed and flowing water to be seen. Following that, they arrived at a large city. The city gate was an arched gate carved from yellow pillars. Although it was called a city gate, it was actually completely different from the gates of the Jin Kingdom. It didn't have that kind of sacred and dignified feeling. Outside the city gate, there were two soldiers dressed in coarse white clothes. They seemed to be soldiers, and they even held long spears in their hands.
There were a lot of people coming and going. Their clothes were very different from those of the Jin Kingdom. However, there were also people dressed in other clothes. They should be passing by on business.
"Let's go into the city first." Ye Yiqing said.
They went to sea as merchants of Qian Jin House and had identification cards in their hands, so they were not hindered from entering the city. They just glanced at them and asked a few questions before they were allowed to enter.
"Dad, you can speak their language?" Ye Zhen asked her father in surprise.
The two soldiers' questions were obviously not in the official language they were used to. How could Ye Yiqing understand what they were saying?
Ye Yiqing smiled and said, "They also speak a dialect."
He could understand several languages in the world. The language of Baoxiang sounded like a kind of European slang, which he happened to know a little.
"There are so many people!" Ye Zhen exclaimed. "Is this their capital?"
"Baoxiang is actually just a small island. Do you think it is like the Jin Kingdom?" Ye Yiqing asked with a smile. "There are shops over there. Let's go over there and have a look."
