Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 168

In fact, Wei Wu also wanted to go to Suzhou in person, and he was confident that he could persuade Zhu Biao to agree.

But he was very clear about priorities, and what he should do most now was to build the steam engine.

After all, converting the treasure ship into a steamship would require time for shipbuilders to redesign it.

If everything is prepared and the steamship is built as soon as possible, Zhu Yuanzhang can order the troops to march eastward to fight against the Japanese pirates one day earlier.

Compared with the grudges with the Lu family, the massacre of the Japanese pirates is obviously more important.

As for the Lu family, it is just right for Shen Lin and others to get familiar with the feeling of killing people with guns.

After listening to Wei Wu's explanation, Zhu Biao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Wei Wu doesn't take the risk himself, everything else will be fine.

"Okay, as long as you don't act rashly, you can do whatever you want with the Lu family. By the way, do you have enough manpower?"

"I see that you only have twelve guards in your house. This number may not be enough. Do you want me to give you some?"

Hearing this, Wei Wu chuckled and immediately took out an M4A1 and placed it on the table.

In fact, it would be enough to demonstrate with a pistol at this time, but Wei Wu's gun didn't have many bullets.

Try not to waste it if you can, after all, it is a good thing that can save your life.

The M4A1 is different. It has more than 400,000 rounds of bullets in stock and can be used however you want.

Looking at the strange-looking thing in front of him, Zhu Biao immediately perked up.

He didn't know what it was, but he knew very well that what Wei Wu took out was definitely not ordinary.

Just when Zhu Biao was full of anticipation, Wei Wu spoke again.

"This is called an M4A1 automatic rifle. Like a pistol, it's also a firearm, but its power and accuracy are vastly different."

"It doesn't require loading gunpowder or loading bullets one by one. You just need to pull the trigger to shoot people into pieces."

"It's a pity that the current industrial level of our Ming Dynasty is too low. Otherwise, if equipped with this kind of weapon, the cavalry would no longer be an ace, but just a moving target."

Having said that, Wei Wu took out an explosion-proof shield from the warehouse and handed it to Zhu Biao. This was mainly to prevent possible stray bullets.

Then he greeted the people outside, asking them to stay away and not to panic.

After completing these preparations, he took the rifle in his hand and pointed the muzzle at the load-bearing wooden pillar in the corner of the room.

"Brother Zhu, you'll understand after reading this. With it, numbers are never a problem. The only danger is to others."

After saying that, Wei Wu pulled the trigger directly, and an orange-yellow bullet shot out from the barrel.

Da da da da da!

Surrounded by a faint blue-green smoke, the private room was instantly filled with a pungent smell of gunpowder.

But this is not the point. The point is that in the continuous firing mode, Wei Wu emptied the magazine in less than three seconds.

Under the dense impact of bullets, the load-bearing wooden pillars were hit and wood chips flew everywhere, as if they had been torn apart by a ferocious beast.

The white and yellow fibers inside the wood are exposed to the air and intertwined, giving people a hideous feeling.

Zhu Biao put down the explosion-proof shield, stood up, slowly walked to the load-bearing wooden pillar and touched it.

Then he bent down to pick up the shell casing on the ground and twirled it between his fingers for a while.

"Copper? This kind of firearm actually uses copper to make projectiles?"

It’s no wonder that Zhu Biao was so surprised, as copper was basically synonymous with money in that era.

To him, making projectiles out of copper was like making projectiles out of money.

Moreover, the weight of this bullet shell is heavier than that of a copper coin, coupled with the firing rate just now.

If it is true as Wei Wu said, and the army is equipped with such weapons, which country can afford such consumption?

When Zhu Biao was shocked, Wei Wu put down his gun and came to him.

"I want Shen Lin and the others to go to Suzhou. Besides revenge, I also want them to become familiar with the use of this weapon."

"It's not just the Suzhou Lu family. If we can find the gathering place of the White Lotus Sect, I also hope to let them participate in the suppression."

"Of course, this matter still requires your help, Brother Zhu. Let them register as Jinyiwei to facilitate their work."

Zhu Biao came back to his senses and nodded when he heard Wei Wu's words.

"It's okay. I will help you arrange this matter. Having the identity of Jinyiwei can indeed avoid a lot of trouble."

After receiving Zhu Biao's reply, Wei Wu also smiled.

He seemed to have seen the scene of Shen Lin and his men, holding automatic rifles and killing people in the house of the Lu family.

Of course, before that, they still need to be familiar with the operation and feel of the firearms.

Wei Wu had already thought of a shooting range for practicing shooting and arranged it inside the Institute of Science and Technology.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu wanted to arrange for Shen Lin and the others to start learning how to use a gun immediately.

Just when Wei Wu was getting impatient, Zhu Biao suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Wu, now that this matter is over, I should return to the palace. By the way, Xiang Lu, go back and give it a try. If you have any questions, please tell me."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he immediately stood up, and then Wei Wu followed suit.

"It just so happens that I'm also planning to go to the Institute of Science and Technology. I went to the palace early this morning and haven't gone to teach the craftsmen yet."

After coming out of the teahouse, Zhu Biao returned to the palace, while Wei Wu came to the Bihai Chaosheng Tower.

The guards who had been knocked down before have woken up, and now Shen Linxun is about to face a tragic fate.

Looking at their ashamed looks, Wei Wu smiled and walked over.

"Master!"

"Master, we are incompetent! We failed to protect you!"

"Master, please punish me!"

Seeing Wei Wu coming back, the guards came forward and knelt on one knee before him, lowered their heads and began to apologize.

Looking at the ashamed expressions on their faces, Wei Wu laughed.

"There's no need for punishment. Although you failed to protect me, it was only because you were weak and the enemy was strong."

The guards felt better when they heard that Wei Wu did not blame them for failing to protect them.

But after hearing the last sentence, the shame on their faces became even more intense.

If a bodyguard cannot protect his master's safety, what kind of bodyguard is he?

Regardless of whether it’s because the enemy is strong or not, failure to protect is failure to protect, and that’s the fact!

Just as the guards were blaming themselves, Wei Wu's words ignited their depressed mood.

"So next, I will make you strong, strong enough to face any powerful enemy!"
