Chapter 78: Found a Treasure

"Uh, could it be that people in ancient times also learned how to make fake wine?"

After rubbing his aching head, Wang Bing woke up from the bed and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

It turned out that Wang Bing, who finally drank the wine in that tavern, didn't even know how he got home. He only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have vomited all over the place.

"You're awake. How much did you drink yesterday? Do you deserve it?" Just as he was muttering, he saw his second brother Wang Dong walking in with a pot of tea.

"Oh, thank you second brother!" Wang Bing, who was extremely thirsty, grabbed the bottle and started drinking it mouth to mouth.

"Second brother, how did I come back last night?" After drinking a pot of warm tea, Wang Bing finally felt a lot more comfortable.

"How did you come back? It wasn't your second brother who brought you back. You vomited on me all the way!" When Wang Bing asked, Wang Dong suddenly said angrily.

"Ah? I'm sorry. It's all that tree hole's fault for fighting with me. Otherwise, how could I drink so much!" In embarrassment, Wang Bing put all the blame on the young scholar.

"Tree hole? What tree hole?"

"Haha, he's the guy who drank with me!" Looking at the confused look on his second brother's face, Wang Bing quickly explained.

"Oh, are you talking about that Zhao Shizhen? That guy really has a good drinking capacity. He was still drinking when I found you!" After figuring out who the 'tree hole' Wang Bing was talking about, Wang Dong said casually.

.

"Second brother, do you know that guy?" Wang Bing seemed a little embarrassed when he heard that Wang Dong actually knew that 'tree hole'. He didn't know if he said anything after drinking the wine last night.

It's something that shouldn't be said.

"I've met him twice, but he doesn't seem to be so gregarious, so I didn't expect to be able to chat with you."

"That's just gossip... Wait, second brother, what do you think his name is?"

Wang Bing, who originally wanted to say that the 'tree hole' was just a gossip, was suddenly stunned, and then quickly confirmed the name of the 'tree hole' with Wang Dong.

"Zhao Shizhen? What's wrong, third child?"

"Second brother, do you know where Zhao Shizhen is from?" Wang Bing ignored the confused Wang Dong and continued to ask.

"It seems to be from Yueqing County, Zhejiang, yes, from Yueqing County!" Although he didn't know what Wang Bing wanted to do, Wang Dong still answered affirmatively.

"A native of Yueqing, Zhejiang, that's right. I didn't expect it to be this great god!"

After learning about Zhao Shizhen's place of origin from Wang Dong, Wang Bing couldn't help but was so excited that she slapped her thigh.

It turns out that although not many people may know about Zhao Shizhen in later generations, he was a figure comparable to great scientists such as Song Yingxing and Xu Guangqi, and was among the top firearms experts at that time!

This Zhao Shizhen is a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. According to historical records, Zhao Shizhen had great ambitions, was good at writing and poetry, and liked to talk about war. When he was visiting the capital, he accidentally inscribed on a fan "

The poem was obtained by an eunuch and presented to Shenzong. It was highly praised by Shenzong and was awarded to Bo, the master of Honglu Temple, by Shenzong for his specialty of "good calligraphy".

It's just that because of Zhao Shizhen's personality of being "unconventional and upright," his official career was very bumpy. A small eighth-grade master of Honglu Temple, Bo, managed to do it from the sixth year of Wanli to the twenty-fourth year of Wanli for a full ten years.

It took eight years to reach the seventh rank of Zhongshu Sheren.

However, although Zhao Shizhen did not do well in the officialdom, he was very talented in the research of firearms.

In the 24th year of Wanli, this guy saw Western fire guns for the first time from Chen Yin, a guerrilla general from Wenzhou. Then he was deeply inspired and asked Dosima, a Turk living in the capital, for advice on firearms.

After the method of manufacturing and using it was discovered, the Lumi gun, which had a longer range and more power than the bird gun, was soon developed.

Not only that, but later this guy also invented the wheel-type thunder gun and the rear-mounted lightning gun. Even later, this guy even invented the Ming Dynasty version of the hand-held 'bazooka' rocket launcher.

Of course, whether it is a Rumi gun, a Thunder gun or a lightning gun, it is still a matchlock gun. Compared with the current fusillade gun used by the Habayashi Guards, which uses brown gunpowder, it may not be that advanced.

But you must know that Zhao Shizhen's achievements were all achieved by relying on his own talent and whimsy, not by cheating like Wang Bing, a time traveler.

Therefore, in Wang Bing's opinion, if Zhao Shizhen, a 'native' Ming Dynasty firearms expert, coupled with his 'leading' thinking as a time traveler, not only can he create a real machine gun, he can at least replace the old sleeves of future generations.

Get it out!

"What kind of master? Third brother, why are you crazy again? Listen to the second brother's advice. Regarding the eldest sister of the Qi family, you still... ugh!"

Seeing Wang Bing's 'abnormal' behavior, Wang Dong, who thought he was still sad about the 'female instructor' incident, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"I mean, second brother, I finally let this matter go a little bit, so you have to mention it!"

Wang Bing, who was still happy that he had discovered this Ming Dynasty firearms expert, was brought back to 'reality' by Wang Dong's words.

"Hey, second brother is doing it for you too!" Wang Dong couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he had done bad things with good intentions.

"Maybe this is the so-called fate but not destiny! Second brother, you don't have to worry about me, I know how to deal with it, little brother." Looking at the concerned eyes of his second brother in this life, Wang Bing couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

"It's okay. There is no grass anywhere in the world. I will definitely meet someone more suitable in the future!" Seeing that Wang Bing seemed to be relieved, Wang Dong felt relieved a little.

"But second brother, in order to make up for the mistakes you made, you have to take me to find that Zhao Shizhen, hehe!" In order to let go of the 'female instructor', Wang Bing, who needed something to divert his attention, naturally made up his mind.

Zhao Shizhen, a firearms expert.

"Third brother, this Zhao Shizhen is just an ordinary student traveling to the capital. Why are you looking for him?"

This time Wang Dong learned his lesson and stopped mentioning the "female instructor" issue at all. Instead, he followed Wang Bing and brought the topic to Zhao Shizhen.

"Second brother, don't think he is just an ordinary student now. As long as you give him a suitable position, maybe it won't take long for him to become famous in the capital, and even the entire Ming Dynasty will remember him, even if it is only a few hundred years."

Later...hehe!"
