Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 941: Wealthy

Bai Jing gave Lin Feng a blank look, knowing who he was referring to.

The current Taisho Emperor Zhao Zheng is also Bai Jing's biological father. Apart from Lin Feng and her own mother, few people know about this.

"No matter how powerful he is, can he be more powerful than you?"

Lin Feng frowned: "When it comes to strategy and tactics, I really admire him. Perhaps he was born at the wrong time, and there happened to be a Lin Feng in this great sect."

His words may seem conceited, but they are actually spoken from the heart.

Only Lin Feng himself knew where his advantages lay. It was indeed unlucky for Emperor Taisho, Zhao Zheng, to meet him, Lin Feng.

Bai Jing had a blank expression on her face: "I don't want to discuss your world as men. I just hope you'll be well and make your family feel at ease."

Lin Feng reached out and patted the back of Bai Jing's hand.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Bai Jing grabbed Lin Feng's hand with her backhand.

"I heard that those mysterious sects are more dangerous than a battle between two armies. Do you have any solution?"

"Yes, it's going on right now. Don't worry, these scoundrels can't do anything to me, haha..."

Lin Feng laughed freely and cheerfully, looking down upon all the heroes in the world with great vigor.

Before he could get into position, there was a sudden explosion not far away, as if someone had fired a gun.

Not long after, guards rushed in.

"Report, General, there was an explosion at the research center..."

Without waiting for them to finish speaking, Lin Feng rushed out, climbed over the wall, stepped over the roof, and in a moment he arrived at the house where the Firearms Research Center was located.

He stood on the courtyard wall and saw a soldier holding his bloody arm, looking dazed.

A doctor came running into the courtyard.

Some soldiers saw Lin Feng coming and immediately stepped forward to report.

"General, when I was testing the gun just now, the barrel exploded."

Lin Feng grinned, jumped from the wall into the yard, and saw the doctor bandaging the soldier's wound.

Amidst the blood and flesh, it looked as if two fingers had been blown off.

Lin Feng shook his head and sighed. This kind of accident is unavoidable. Testing guns carries this kind of risk.

However, he turned to look at the researchers who had hurried over.

"Are you a little anxious?"

A man in his fifties said with a frown.

"General, this shouldn't happen. The dosage is still within the specified range. How could it explode?"

Another man picked up the shotgun from the ground and carefully examined the blown-out chamber.

"The charge has increased a bit, but it didn't cause the chamber to explode. I'm afraid it's a problem with the cartridge case."

Lin Feng turned and said to the doctor.

"Treat them quickly, minimize the degree of disability, and provide generous compensation."

The doctor nodded and helped the injured soldier away.

Lin Feng then looked at the exploded bullet and pondered.

"What do you think, should we change to a copper shell?"

Several researchers' eyes widened.

"Copper shell? That would be very expensive."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of spending money. What I want is the initial velocity of the bullet and its penetration."

"If you don't care about the cost, use copper bullet casings and the problem will be solved."

"Based on this, how much can the speed and penetration be increased?"

"Speed ​​is difficult to measure, but penetration is possible. You can just test it with a thick wooden board."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Do it immediately."

Using brass to make bullet casings is indeed expensive.

You have to know that in this era, brass was used to make money. One guan was one thousand copper coins, equivalent to one tael of silver.

In the market, you can buy a steamed bun with one copper coin.

Making a brass cartridge case requires about four and a half copper coins, because the copper needs to be refined and the quality of the copper must be much better than that of copper coins.

It was also because Lin Feng was rich that he didn't care about the cost and used copper as bullets.

Everything was arranged.

After coming out of the Firearms Research Center, Lin Feng did not rest. He immediately led his men out of the city and came to the Jinjiang Wharf northwest of Shanglin Prefecture, and took a boat to Sanjiang Prefecture.

Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Dazong clan was settled in a large mansion in this city.

Of course, it was also the house that Zhao Zhen rented with his own money.

Lin Feng had no likes or dislikes for Emperor Zhao Zhen. He just felt that he was pitiful because he had a soft character, was versatile, and was sentimental. He was indeed not suitable to be an emperor.

If Zhao Zhen had become an artist, his achievements would naturally be passed down through the ages.

Fate played a joke on him, making Zhao Zhen depressed and unhappy all day long. He wanted to pretend to be ignorant, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.

It lasted for a long time and eventually he became seriously ill.

Zhu Qisheng was very anxious but helpless. He had sent the letter to Lin Feng more than half a month ago, but there was no reply.

Seeing that the emperor was becoming increasingly thinner and his expression was getting worse day by day, everyone in the palace was in a panic, as if the end of the world had come.

Zhu Qisheng was an honest man who served two generations of emperors and remained loyal throughout.

Although he had selfish motives, he always put the royal family first and put his own selfish motives second.

At this time, he was standing in front of Emperor Zhao Zhen's bed, watching the doctor give the emperor medicine with his own eyes.

After the doctor had helped the emperor finish his medicine, he took his leave.

Zhu Qisheng called the doctor in the yard.

This doctor, who was in his seventies, was originally the chief imperial physician in the palace and had been practicing medicine in the palace for thirty years.

Seeing Zhu Qisheng stopping him, he knew what was going on, so he just lowered his head and sighed without saying a word.

"Is there no other way?"

Zhu Qisheng asked in a sinister and threatening tone.

"Alas, Eunuch Zhu, if you feel unhappy, you can take my head off at will."

Zhu Qisheng was dumbfounded when the imperial physician spoke like this.

He stared blankly at the chief imperial physician of the Dazong Palace, whose old and lonely figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate.

Two turbid tears slid down my chest.

A young eunuch quietly approached Zhu Qisheng and whispered.

"Eunuch, Duke Jingguo Lin Feng is here."

Zhu Qisheng was cheered up, as he finally waited for Lin Feng.

"Please come to the guest hall of Duke Jingguo."

Zhu Qisheng cheered up, turned around and followed the eunuch to the living room in the front yard.

Lin Feng stood in the living room and looked at Zhu Qisheng who came hurriedly. This old man in his sixties looked even older at this time.

His hair and beard were all white, his face was covered with wrinkles, his eyes were sad and he looked haggard.

"Oh, Duke, you're here."

Lin Feng smiled and bowed: "Eunuch Zhu, how are you?"

"Oh, how can this be good, Duke, please save the Emperor..."

As he spoke, Zhu Qisheng lowered himself to his knees.

This scared the young eunuch.

Zhu Qisheng was the high-ranking eunuch in the palace, and no one else would kneel except the emperor.

Lin Feng reached out and supported him.

"Eunuch Zhu, let's talk while standing."

With Lin Feng's current skill, he could hold Zhu Qisheng with one hand, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't be shaken at all.

After struggling for a few times, Zhu Qisheng gave up and hung his head in lamentation.

"My Lord, the Emperor has been suffering from a chronic illness and has been asking us for a while now. I wish you could see me. I'm glad you've finally arrived."

Lin Feng said calmly, "I wonder what the emperor wants to say to me?"

Zhu Qisheng bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, Duke. I will go and tell the Emperor."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to ask the eunuch to serve tea to Lin Feng, and then he left in a hurry.

I saw that my steps seemed to be much lighter.
