C602 Gunfire outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony

Li Lianying was crying. He really ran all the way back to the Supreme Peace Hall with tears in her eyes and kneeled on the ground. "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Xiao Letian said that he won't enter the hall anymore. Otherwise, she would have to pay her respects when the time comes, wuu … "He said to invite the empress dowager out of the palace to watch the martial demonstration. She even said it was a rare occasion …"

"How dare you!" Ci Xi slapped the armrest of the chair, he stood up and trembled in anger. As for the other important officials in the hall, they had all gone mad, and scolded Xiao Letian for being unscrupulous.

At this time, the square suddenly resounded with the loud and clear sound of bugles, the sound of the military officers reprimanding the troops, and the murderous intent of the Iron Army of Hundred Battles rushing in from the outside.

The curses suddenly disappeared, everyone's faces turned pale white, then Ci An sighed: "Let's go, we will also broaden our horizons, everyone says that foreign troops, where is the strong point? Today, Xiao Letian is going to show us something, we have to appreciate his kindness! "

"Your Majesty, we can't continue like this in the Qing Dynasty. We have to see what the outside world looks like. We must find out the reason why we took such a huge loss this time! "

With the empress dowager's words, everyone fell silent. The young emperor was only ten years old after all, and his curiosity was piqued. The moment he heard these words, he jumped down from his throne. "Good, good, good …" "Go take a look, I've been wanting to see a foreign war for a long time now …"

The emperor was running in front. Behind him, the eunuchs and ministers were like hens and chicks as they chased after him. "Your Majesty be careful, don't fall, don't fall …" Then, the empress dowagers walked out of the hall.

Standing on the foundation seat of Supreme Harmony Hall, the more than one thousand New Army soldiers in the square could see everything clearly. The perfect set of tofu was in a straight line, and although the soldiers who were covered in dust had wounds on their clothes and were muddy, the killing intent that came out from the battlefield was something that the guards could not compare with.

At this time, Xiao Letian had already sat on the base of the second floor. Turning his head, he smiled at Tongzhi, revealing his eight snow-white teeth.

This was the first time the empress dowager and the little emperor saw Xiao Letian's real face, and they had the same thought at that time. Why was he so young and handsome? The aura of a heroic warrior could not conceal his scholarly aura. He was truly a master of martial arts!

The smile on the ten year old Tongzhi's face melted away his hostility. He did not hesitate to sprint forward, completely disregarding the obstruction of the ministers behind him.

When the little emperor sat down beside Xiao Letian, the ferocious Dragon Lord stood behind the prime minister and the emperor. He glared at everyone and that aura couldn't help but scare them so much that everyone took three steps back.

"You are Xiao Letian? I always thought you were a bearded old man, but I didn't expect you to be so young! "You don't even have a beard?"

"Tell me, are these soldiers really heavenly soldiers? Did you make the Gun on their bodies? "And that weird metal gun, was it a rapid-fire gun …"

The children's questions came one after another, but when Xiao Letian smiled, he did not speak. Instead, he took out a lot of food from Dragon Lord's backpack. Xiao Letian had a habit of eating snacks, so all the guards had some food in their bags that they prepared for him.

The soft candy from Europe, the milk chocolate, the Ryukyu production of pineapple jerky, the banana slices, the Japanese production of fresh sweet little fish, octopus feet, etc. Finally, Xiao Letian even opened a canned meat and fruit produced in America, all of these were snacks for the little emperor.

"Eat while watching, and your questions will slowly be answered …" Just as Tongzhi was about to stuff it into his mouth, Li Lianying shouted loudly, "No … Your Majesty, please don't eat it. Let this servant be the poison! "

Li Lianying rushed over like a mad dog, so fast that even the Dragon Lord could not stop him. He pounced at the little emperor's feet, snatched away the can of meat, and started to eat it with her hands. She even ate all the snacks, making Xiao Letian feel extremely disgusted.

"Your Majesty …" Do you eat eunuch's saliva every day? "So disgusting …" Xiao Letian kept retching.

Tongzhi suddenly realised when he heard him, "Yeah, we ate your saliva for many years, you dog slaves are so disgusting …"

Tongzhi jumped up and gave Li Lianying a random kick. Li Lianying didn't even dare to move, she just knelt there and let the Emperor make his move.

"What do we do now? All the food has already been eaten by a loyal eunuch, and you still want to eat? " Xiao Letian smiled as he looked at the little emperor.

Tongzhi blinked his eyes and pointed at the American cans, "Open another two more cans for me. These are all sealed with iron, no one will poison them … "Besides, your army is already in front of me. Do you still need to poison if you want to kill me?"

"Smart!" Xiao Letian raised his thumbs up, and then opened two cans of food for Tongzhi. This time, Li Lianying was not going to let go of the little emperor if she continued to try to steal away the dog slave.

At this time, the new army had already made their preparations for practice. It was unknown from which side of the square the wooden door was used as a target. It was erected on the east side of the square, and behind the target was the Corpse Pavilion.

At this time, there was no need to pay attention to the protection of cultural relics, since they were just wood, the Manchu dynasty's government did not care, even if the new army were to be destroyed, no one would dare to say anything.

"According to the shooting exercise book, practice rapid fire …" "Fire!" Following Wang Huaiyuan's order, the soldiers who were already prepared pulled the triggers of their assault and shot towards their target like a storm of bullets.

Lie down shooting, half squat shooting, standing shooting... Including the team crossing over to cover the shooting, all sorts of new army operating manuals were displayed.

Tongzhi and the other officials of the empress dowager were all dumbfounded. They all knew that the Chinese people were powerful with guns, but what Xiao Letian had displayed today was even more so than the foreign people.

They didn't know that British and French combined forces who had attacked the Beijing six years ago would only use the Mini Bullet Rifle from the front. Compared to Xiao Letian who had the Needle Rifle on his back now, they were completely inferior in this era.

It was easy to load and load the bullets, but the quality was reliable. They could fire three bullets with a single shot with a gun in front of them. As for those who knew what was good for them, they would be able to figure out what was good for them.

The solo shooting went on for twenty minutes, and soon followed by the performance of two Gatling s. When the bumpy copper sound rang out, the people in front of Supreme Harmony Hall cried out, and some of the weaker eunuchs even lost their consciousness from the shock.

"My Lord!" "What is this thing …" Everyone could only watch helplessly as a glittering wooden door was shot through by the bullet chain. Even the white jade banisters behind them were struck by the bullet and turned into a pockmarked face, sending rubble flying everywhere.

"What weapon is this? How are we going to fight with this thing on the battlefield? "No wonder he lost. No wonder he lost …"

Firepower was the most important target of the modern army. After mankind entered the era of firearms, what they pursued was actually just a target of firepower.

With the development of technology, the previous fire output of a company, now just one Gatling was enough. When the more advanced Machin enters the battlefield, it would probably be the end of the regular infantry.

In addition to the new model field artillery, the war had already become a firepower competition. Personal heroism was no longer an option.

Only now did the empress dowager and the ministers wake up from their stupor. The power of firearms wasn't something that could be comprehended just by looking at the imperial reports. No one would ever know of its power without personally witnessing it.

The meat in the mouth of the intelligent Tongzhi Emperor dropped out. If he had over a hundred of these weapons, even the soldiers of the Great Qing would not be able to defeat him! So this is how oculi bridge lost back then! "

Xiao Letian laughed, this was true education, a lot of knowledge could not be learned just by looking at textbooks. Foolish and backward people naturally had to reject advanced things, just like the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. They only heard people talk about the wonders of Western technology, and none of them were willing to come into contact with them personally.

Today, Xiao Letian gave these ostrich birds this lesson, he carried out a real speech in the Supreme Harmony Hall with his thousand victories, and mercilessly pulled out the ostrich's head that was hidden in the sand, letting them see this cruel reality with their own eyes.

Regret had already filled her heart. If she had known earlier that Xiao Letian had such a powerful force in his hands, she definitely would not have foolishly sent her troops to the Tanggu;

Xiao Letian did not even need to turn his head to guess the expression of these royalty. He gave Wang Huaiyuan a look, and then, the two Gatling were immediately withdrawn, and ten soldiers holding fat grenades walked in front of the group.

After the baptism of the heavy rain, there were puddles of water everywhere on the square of the Supreme Harmony Temple. This was a good opportunity to show off the 'Heaven Flame'.

"Heaven Flames! Ancestor, this is truly the Heaven Flame … Xiao Letian is not a human, he is not a human! " The officials all took a step back. Everyone was stunned. Faced with such an inexplicable phenomenon, they could only lean towards superstition.

The brief martial demonstration in the Supreme Harmony Hall ended with the spark of the grenade. At that moment, the entire Supreme Harmony Hall was deathly silent. No one dared to speak up. This was the first time an ancient empire had confronted the mysterious power of western technology directly.

Yes, even though he had experienced two Opium Wars, the ruler had never seen how western science and technology flaunted themselves. When the oculi bridge's Monk King was defeated, Xian Feng had already brought a group of officials and fled to the Chengde. Only a small group of officials saw with their own eyes how powerful the Western Weapons were.

After the war, this group of officials who had seen much of the world naturally became a bunch of westerners. As for those who had not seen much of the world, they still hoped to return to their old days, so they gave Yi a nickname, Evil Child Liu. It was clear that this group of Manchu were hostile towards Western Studies.

Ostrich's thoughts spanned across the entire late Qing. If not for Xiao Letian, they would probably still have to follow the tradition of going along with the flow, until they dragged their whole people into the abyss.

"Your Majesty, this is your palace. Won't you show me around? has never seen such a grand hall before … "
