Although Prince Rupert had never seen that powerful firearm, judging from Charles I's reaction just now, with that kind of firearm, this army must be extremely powerful.

Handing over such an army to Prince Rupert proved that Charles I valued Prince Rupert very much, which was a very happy thing for Prince Rupert.

"Is it true? You are my nephew. I can't be more assured of entrusting this army to you. I can only rest assured that such a powerful army is entrusted to you!" Charles I said with a smile.

"In that case, I would like to thank uncle!" Prince Rupert gave a big gift to Charles I with an excited expression on his face.

After staying in London for such a long time, Prince Rupert fell ill a long time ago.Now, there is finally something to do, how can Prince Rupert not be excited?

"You get up first, and I will have someone take you to the station of this army later, so that you can familiarize yourself with this army and the guns used by this army." Charles I waved his hand at Prince Rupert , and then said: "You go down first, I will arrange someone to take you there right away."

"Uncle, then I'll go down!" Prince Rupert exited Charles I's office.

Not long after Prince Rupert left, Charles I called Thomas to his office.

Now Thomas is the temporary commander of these soldiers, and it is most appropriate for Thomas to take Prince Rupert to get acquainted with these soldiers.

After Charles I explained the matter, Thomas hurriedly led people out of Windsor Castle.

That afternoon, Thomas brought Prince Rupert to the soldiers' quarters.

For the sake of safety and for the convenience of control, these soldiers were placed within two miles around Windsor Castle by Charles I.

These thousand soldiers are the most powerful combat power in the hands of Charles I, so Charles I was very solemn when treating these thousand soldiers.

Among the garrison of a thousand soldiers, Thomas led Prince Rupert slowly around the camp.

Now these more than 1000 soldiers are training every day. Prince Rupert is walking in the garrison, and the resounding gunfire keeps ringing in Prince Rupert's ears.

It has not yet arrived at the training ground of the thousand soldiers, so Prince Rupert did not see the training scenes of these soldiers, but he listened to the gunshots passing by his ears, his face was full of excitement.

Prince Rupert has been on the battlefield and is relatively familiar with various weapons. He has even played with matchlocks often. He has a deep understanding of firearms.

"Is this gunshot the kind of new weapon my uncle mentioned? The sound is very loud. Even at such a distance, the gunshot still has a strong penetrating power.

Judging from the sound of the guns alone, this weapon is a powerful firearm.If the reloading speed of this kind of firearm is really as fast as my uncle said, then this kind of weapon is simply invincible. "

Prince Rupert was talking as he walked forward.The excitement on his face never disappeared from the beginning to the end, he involuntarily accelerated the speed of his feet, and now he couldn't wait to see this weapon.

Thomas looked at Prince Rupert's expression, of course he knew what Prince Rupert wanted to do now, Thomas also speeded up and led Prince Rupert to the training ground.

Not long after, Thomas brought Prince Rupert to the training ground.

The area of ​​the training ground is so large that it can fully accommodate the training of a thousand soldiers.

On the current training ground, there are flashes of fire from time to time, and gunpowder smoke rises from time to time. After arriving at the training ground, the gunshots ringing in Prince Rupert's ears became much louder.

Prince Rupert had his hands on his hips. He stood on the edge of the training ground, squinted his eyes and looked around the training ground for a week, then patted Thomas on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "Let's not talk about weapons, from the mental outlook of these soldiers As well as the ranks of the ranks, these soldiers are the most elite soldiers."

Prince Rupert is an expert in leading troops in battle. Just from the mental outlook of these soldiers, you can tell whether these soldiers are elite.

Thomas said to Prince Rupert proudly: "Your Highness, I selected these soldiers individually from the Royal Army. These soldiers are the best in terms of physical fitness and loyalty to His Royal Highness. Certainly, they are the most elite soldiers in the entire country!"

"Not bad, you did a good job in this matter, and I will definitely go to uncle to ask for credit!" Prince Rupert said with a smile on his face.

Thomas hastily offered some flattery, "His Royal Highness, I am just a layman leading the army in battle. In this respect, I am far inferior to His Royal Highness. In the entire country today, leading soldiers and fighting is the best That is His Royal Highness, these soldiers are under the command of His Royal Highness, it is most appropriate!"

Prince Rupert, who was being flattered by Thomas, was elated, and Prince Rupert said with a smile on his face: "How can I be as good as you say? In our country, I am the one with the strongest ability to lead soldiers and fight wars." My uncle, I am far inferior to my uncle."

"Okay, let's not talk about these things, I'll go and see if this weapon is really what uncle said!"

Prince Rupert threw down a sentence, and then led his entourage towards a group of soldiers who were training.

Seeing this, Thomas hurriedly chased after Prince Rupert.

In the blink of an eye, Prince Rupert came behind the group of soldiers who were training.

This group of soldiers who were training was concentrating on aiming at the target ahead, so they didn't find Prince Rupert standing behind them for a while.

When they finished a round and were about to load ammunition, they found Prince Rupert standing behind them.

In this day and age, the hierarchy is relatively strict here. Prince Rupert wears clothes that only princes are qualified to wear. In addition, these soldiers are the Royal Army, so they recognized Rupert in an instant. The identity of Prince Burt.

These soldiers were about to salute Prince Rupert, but Prince Rupert stopped them.

"You don't need to salute me, I just came to see your current training situation and the weapons you are using now.

From today onwards, you people will be led by me, and His Royal Highness' orders will be sent here immediately, and I will come to touch your bottom in advance! "

As Prince Rupert spoke, he stretched out his right hand towards a soldier. He looked at the soldier, his eyes full of eager light.

"Give me the gun in your hand, I want to take a good look!"

As soon as Prince Rupert's words were spoken, the soldier quickly handed over the gun in his hand to Prince Rupert.

Prince Rupert is now the most beloved nephew of Charles I, and he, a little soldier, cannot afford to be neglected.

After receiving the rifle from the soldier, Prince Rupert narrowed his eyes and watched carefully.

Prince Rupert stood there with a serious face, his eyes narrowed very small, and he looked at all aspects of the entire rifle, for fear of missing something.

Because he was watching very seriously, when Prince Rupert raised his head, more than 30 minutes had passed.

Three or ten minutes later, Prince Rupert held a rifle in his left hand and rubbed his neck with his right hand, the excitement on his face became more intense.

"This rifle is so exquisite, God, I dare say this is the first time I have seen such an exquisite rifle, perfect like a work of art, no, even the most perfect in the world Artwork is no match for it.

This rifle looks like it came out of the hand of God, there is no better looking rifle in the world, my goodness, I can't believe there is such a rifle in the world, so exquisite, so exquisite! "

Prince Rupert cheered loudly while stroking the rifle.

In this era, although the Renaissance is drawing to a close, the Industrial Revolution has not yet begun.

In this era, matchlock guns were still forged manually, and the matchlock guns that were forged manually had great flaws both in appearance and quality.

And the Dreiser rifle in the hands of Prince Rupert is the result of Zhao Wen's industrialization. The dark metal is wrapped in hard walnut wood, coupled with the perfect design, it is simply like the most perfect artwork of this era. Same.

The dark gun barrel exudes the unique luster of metal, in Rupert's eyes, it is so captivating.

"I can't wait to try it!"

Prince Rupert looked excitedly at the soldier standing in front of him, and shouted impatiently at the soldier: "Teach me how to use this gun quickly, I can't wait now, teach me quickly."

How can Prince Rupert look like a prince at this time?Now he is like a child who found his favorite toy.

"Teach me how to use this firearm, I can't wait!" Prince Rupert shouted excitedly at the soldier standing in front of him.

The soldier standing in front of Prince Rupert hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, the operation method of this rifle is very simple, even simpler than that of an arquebus. I will teach you how to use this rifle now." way, to ensure that you can remember it once!"

Prince Rupert handed over the Dreiser rifle in his hand to the soldier, and after the soldier took the Dreiser rifle from Prince Rupert, he began to demonstrate.

Prince Rupert has a great talent for firearms. This soldier only demonstrated it two or three times, and Prince Rupert firmly remembered all the procedures in his heart.

"Okay, you can hand over the rifle in your hand to me now, I have learned how to use it!"

Prince Rupert said to the soldier.

The soldier handed the Dreiser rifle to Prince Rupert.

After Prince Rupert took the Dreiser rifle, he recalled the soldier's demonstration action just now in his mind, and then repeated it according to the soldier's demonstration action just now.

Because it is the first time to use it, Prince Rupert is inevitably a little rusty. It took Prince Rupert a full half a minute to load it this time.

Half a minute later, Prince Rupert finally loaded the ammunition into the chamber of Dreiser's rifle.

Prince Rupert took a loaded Dreiser rifle and aimed at the wooden sign about 100 meters ahead.

Prince Rupert kept calming his breathing, making his breathing as gentle as possible, so that the shaking of the rifle in his hand was as smooth as possible.

After a long time, Prince Rupert pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

With a gunshot, the bullet flew out of the barrel and flew towards the target ahead.

Prince Rupert often played with the Vulcan before, so his aiming was relatively safe.

At the moment of the gunshot, a hole was punched in the wooden target.

"Hit, His Royal Highness, hit!"

Before Prince Rupert could react, Thomas, standing behind Prince Rupert, shouted excitedly.

Because of the distance, Prince Rupert could not see the hole punched in the wooden target.

Because the moment the bullet hit the target, the target would be shot out of sawdust by the bullet, and Thomas just saw the sawdust that was shot out.

"Go get the target, I want to see it!" Prince Rupert said to the soldier standing beside him while reloading.

The soldier standing beside Prince Rupert sped up and ran towards the target.

Not long after, the soldier brought the target that Prince Rupert hit in front of Prince Rupert.

Prince Rupert looked at the hole punched in the target, and said with a smile on his face: "There is a distance of more than thirty feet from here to the target. At this distance, the ordinary arquebus shot The bullet probably didn't know where it flew, but the bullet of this rifle actually hit the target accurately.

Moreover, if the target is directly penetrated, the hole will be very large. From this point of view, this distance is not the limit range of this rifle. "

Thomas said: "His Royal Highness, you are right, the maximum range of this rifle is about two hundred feet, and it is still lethal within two hundred feet.

It can easily break through armor within a hundred feet, even well-equipped plate armor. Within thirty feet, this rifle can punch through well-equipped plate armor! "

When Thomas bought this kind of firearm, Zhao Wen had someone do an experiment in front of Thomas, and when Thomas got this weapon back, he also did a similar experiment, so regarding the various performances of this weapon, Thomas Still familiar with the chest.

Listening to what Thomas said, Prince Rupert's face was shocked but shocked.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this rifle not only looks very good-looking, but also has such a powerful lethality!

This kind of rifle is simply not something that can be made in the world. I'm afraid it was made by God!

It can be seen from this that the mysterious East is not what those people say it is, it is a place that is extremely powerful, it seems that the East cannot be treated like the natives of America in the future! said Prince Rupert.

At this time, the shit stirrers have begun to colonize the Americas. Although the colonization is very small, the colonization has already begun, and when the shit stirrers colonized the Americas, what they did was extremely bloody. There is nothing for these shit stirrers Any concealment is even proud.

In terms of dealing with the colonization of the Americas, these people in China don't feel that what they are doing is wrong, and they even feel that they are not doing enough.

Prince Rupert is similar to other people in dealing with colonization, but now he saw this powerful rifle in his hand, and keenly discovered that the mysterious East is not what others said, it is an ancient and powerful land. The country of China can be seen just from the rifle in front of you.

"Hurry up and find some brand-new targets. I want to test the power of this rifle, and find some excellent plate armor. I want to test the armor-piercing ability of this rifle!" Prince Rupert He looked at Thomas who was standing next to him.

Thomas ran down with a few entourages graciously, and it didn't take long for Thomas to bring all the things Prince Rupert requested.

After Prince Rupert received these things, he began to experiment.

During the experiment in Rupert's case, Cromwell left the city of London in a carriage and headed towards his hometown.

Cromwell's home town was in Huntingdonshire, which lies to the east of the Shit Scrambler.

The seat of Huntingdon County is in Huntingdon. Huntingdon is a relatively large city, but this big is compared to the shit-stirring stick. If compared with those cities in Zhao Wen's hands, it is not as good as The prosperity of a town with a relatively large population.

Cromwell's prestige in Huntingdon County is relatively high, so Cromwell wanted to go back to his hometown to recruit soldiers and recruit a large number of soldiers, so as to face Charles I head-on.

Cromwell was sitting in the carriage, wearing a top hat, holding a wooden scepter in his hand, and looking out the window with ecstatic eyes.

The windows of Cromwell's carriage were not glass windows but shutters. Through the gaps in the shutters, Cromwell looked at the snow on both sides of the road and fell into a deep thought.

The biggest confusion for him now is what kind of system the country will implement after overthrowing the rule of Charles I.

Cromwell knew that he could never become the monarch of this country with his own blood.

In the Western world, blood is very important. During the Glorious Revolution, after the emerging bourgeoisie and the new aristocrats overthrew the rule of James II, they even invited William, the ruling Prince of Orange in the Netherlands, to be the king of the shit stick.

If this kind of thing were placed in the mainland, it would be an incredible thing, but in the West, such a thing is very common.

In fact, in the final analysis, in the whole of the West, these royal families are basically relatives. No matter how they fight, no matter how hard they fight, they are all relatives.

For them, the meat is rotten in one pot, how could they allow outsiders to covet the meat in the pot?

Of course, this statement is only one of the reasons, not all, but it shows that the Western world in this era attaches great importance to blood.

"After overthrowing the rule of Charles I, what kind of system will this country implement? This is really a headache!"

Cromwell rubbed his forehead and kept thinking, but now his head was in chaos, and he couldn't think of an ingenious solution for a while.

In history, Cromwell was the first protector of the shit stick. Although the system he established at that time was not so perfect, it was almost tailor-made according to his interests.

But that's all for the future, and Cromwell didn't think so much now.

But whether it is Cromwell in history or Cromwell now, they all believe that they can definitely overthrow the rule of Charles I.

The current Cromwell is extremely firm about being able to overthrow Charles I's rule, almost pathologically firm.
