Dozens of imperial city ministers and officials were so horrified that they immediately swarmed forward, wanting to escort him...

Only Chen Gui, Li Ji and other people in the firearms manufacturing workshop, after hearing the emperor's firing, were not worried that the muskets they had made and had been successfully tested many times would cause danger to the users.

What they care about is, as the first emperor in the world to shoot, whether Zhao Guanjia can hit the target?!

At this time, the shotgun fired by Zhao Ji flew out...

Multiple projectiles spread out quickly and flew forward, hitting three porcelain bowls on a row of wooden stakes a hundred steps ahead.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Although everyone could not clearly see the shotgun fired by Zhao Guan's family,

However, they could clearly see that at that moment, the three intact porcelain bowls that were originally a hundred steps away had been smashed into pieces and debris!

Everyone present admired Zhao Guanjia's courage to fire the new musket for the first time!

Behind Zhao Ji, Prince Zhao Huan, Prince Yun Zhao Kai, and Prince Kang Xiao Zhao Gou were frightened by the power of this new musket in their father's hands...

Liang Shicheng, the eunuch who was about to pounce forward to save Zhao Guan's family with his fat body, heard the gunshot and saw that Zhao Guan's family was safe and sound, still smiling where he was.

Liang Shicheng was relieved, and he immediately stopped bending his knees to jump.

At this time, dozens of imperial city ministers and officials rushed forward for a few steps. After hearing the frightening shouts, they saw that Zhao Guan's family was safe and sound.

They all stopped and followed Zhao Guan's gaze forward, looking at the porcelain bowls on the row of wooden stakes a hundred steps away...

Among them, three adjacent porcelain bowls had been smashed by Zhao Guan with his musket.

The thirty musketeers selected by the firearms manufacturing workshop to demonstrate their marksmanship to Zhao Guanjia were all shocked by the Zhao Guanjia on the viewing platform behind them. Their marksmanship was so good!

After all, the position where Zhao Guan's family fired was more than twenty steps further than where their row of thirty musketeers stood!

Moreover, Zhao Guan's family was standing on a viewing platform several feet high, shooting from a high position. Isn't this really big?

Zhao Guanjia was actually able to break three porcelain bowls, which shocked them.

Although the firearms manufacturing envoy Chen Gui and his deputy Li Ji were very confident about the safety of the new muskets they made according to the design drawings provided by Zhao Guanjia,

However, they never expected that Zhao Guanjia, who had never touched a musket before, could actually shoot like a god!

Everyone present was shocked that Zhao Guan's first shot was able to hit three targets!

At this time, Liang Shicheng, the eunuch who was good at flattery and flattery, was the first to wake up from the shock.

He broke his throat and took the lead in shouting:

"Guan Jia is the first emperor in the world to shoot and hit the target!

My emperor is extremely brave, his marksmanship is like a god, long live my emperor!"

With Liang Shicheng taking the lead in shouting,

Prince Zhao Huan, King Yun Zhao Kai and King Kang Xiao Zhao Gou were the first to react. They should also imitate Liang Daguan and praise their father. They shouted together and said:

"Father is the first emperor in the world who fired a gun and hit the target!

My father is extremely brave and his marksmanship is like a god. Long live my father!"

Under the leadership of Liang Shicheng and the three princes, the firearms manufacturing envoy Chen Gui and deputy envoy Li Ji, representatives selected from the firearms manufacturing workshop, as well as thirty musket test shooters, as well as the officials of the Imperial City Department, all cheered.

shouted:

"Your Majesty is the first emperor in the world to fire a gun and hit the target!

My emperor is extremely brave and his marksmanship is like a god

Long live my emperor!"

"…………"

The crowd was excited and shouts came and went, one wave after another.

Zhao Ji enjoyed the cheers and applause at this moment.

In fact, it was a certain amount of luck that Zhao Ji was able to smash three porcelain bowls with one shot.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said pretentiously:

"Shooting with a gun is just a small skill.

I am a gifted archer, and hitting the target is normal!"

Zhao Ji's words also attracted a round of flattery and praise from everyone...

Zhao Ji handed the musket in his hand to the side, and asked with a smile to the three princes beside him:

"Hey, who dares to shoot like me?"

Zhao Ji's question shocked the three princes on the spot.

Prince Zhao Huan looked timid.

Growing up, he always liked to study poetry and write articles under the guidance of famous teachers and scholars.

Zhao Huan had no interest in dancing with swords, riding bows, horses, and shooting, let alone shooting with such frightening smoke and a loud "bang" sound.

Prince Zhao Huan turned pale with fright, lowered his head and said nothing.

When King Yun Zhao Kai faced his father's request of who dared to shoot, he was shocked at first.

However, when he thought about it again, he felt in his heart: This was a good opportunity for him to show off in front of his father.

However, Zhao Kai also had concerns in his heart.

That is, as the third prince, his eldest brother, Prince Zhao Huan, did not follow his father's will to shoot with a musket first, but as the third prince, he had to take the lead.

Will it make my father feel that I don’t follow the etiquette of ‘ordering elders and younger ones’?!

What's more, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I asked to shoot with a gun first and failed to hit the target?!

However, if you hit the target and break more porcelain bowls than your father, wouldn't you take away your father's glory and make your father unhappy?

The more Prince Yun Zhao Kai thought about where he was, the more time he wasted.

Kang Wang Zhao Gou, who is only three months away from turning fourteen, may be one of nine princes, but at this age, he has more of the fearless nature of a young man.

Zhao Gou found it very interesting when he saw his father shooting. This was much more interesting than learning archery by himself!

King Kang Zhao Gou came forward to greet him and said:

"Father, my son Zhao Gou is willing to give it a try."

Zhao Ji smiled slightly and handed the flintlock musket in his hand to Shaoguan Zhao Gou, who was as tall as his shoulders.

Zhao Ji looked at the handsome and fearless young Zhao Gou. He was really much braver than the adult Zhao Gou who was frightened by the Jin army and was frightened by the Jin army.

After Zhao Gou respectfully took the flintlock musket from his father's hand, he directly raised the musket, imitating his father's example, and aimed at the porcelain bowl a hundred steps ahead. Then, he clicked

batting...

Well?!

The flintlock musket didn't even sound!

Zhao Gou looked back in confusion and looked at his father.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Ji laughed loudly and said:

"I just fired. There is no ammunition in the gun. How could it be fired?!"

"..."

The handsome face of young Zhao Gou suddenly blushed like a red apple in autumn.

King Yun Zhao Kai was thankful in his heart: Fortunately, I didn't rush to test-fire the musket like my ninth brother. Otherwise, wouldn't he also be regarded as a joke by his father?

After Zhao Gou listened to his father's explanation, he suddenly realized, isn't this musket similar to a single-shot crossbow? After firing a round, it must be reloaded!

Kang Wang Zhao Gou requested:

"My father, the emperor, and my son asked me to reload the musket and shoot again."

] Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said: "There's no rush. You three brothers, first pick up the unloaded muskets and aim them, practice them, and then listen to the firearms manufacturer Chen Aiqing explain to you how to shoot, and then load them with live ammunition."

"

"My son obeys the decree..."

…

Prince Zhao Huan and King Yun Zhao Kai took over the unloaded muskets one after another, and practiced aiming while listening to the explanation of Chen Gui, the firearms maker.

When Chen Gui finished explaining the rules and each of the three princes had touched three unloaded muskets, Zhao Ji ordered:

"Chen Aiqing, load this musket so that my three princes can shoot live ammunition."

"Wei Chen obeys the rules..."

In fact, if Chen Gui wanted to save time and effort, he could have sent someone down from the viewing platform to get the loaded muskets.
