Time flies, and a year flies in the blink of an eye.

Gangnam.

Rumble~~!

In the middle of a remote barren mountain, there was a deafening loud noise, and then a cloud of smoke rose from the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Seeing the billowing smoke and dust, a loud laugh came.

"Hahaha, quick, prepare a horse for me, I'm going to see the sect leader!"

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, in a magnificent mansion in Yingtianfu.

Baizhu, who was in the office, received a report from the guards.

"Sect Master, Xin Zhangqi envoy asks to see you!"

"Xin Zhangqi Envoy?"

Baizhu was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise: "Please!"

Not long after, the palm of the Flame Banner made Xin Ran walk into the study.

"Subordinates meet the sect leader!"

Xin Ran bowed down and saluted Baizhu.

"Hurry up, Xin Zhangqi envoy, you ask to see you this time, but you have good news to tell me?"

Baizhu asked with a smile.

"The sect leader is wise, and he can't hide anything from you. ”

Xin Ran's dark face was full of excitement, and he said, "My subordinates have developed the kind of cannon you said!"

"Really?"

Hearing that Xin Ran had developed a new type of cannon as he had guessed, Baizhu couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Xin Zhangqi envoy, you have made a great contribution!"

In fact, at the beginning of becoming the leader of the Ming Sect, Baizhu was very interested in the Five Elements Banner full of various "black technologies", but at that time, various things happened one after another, so he didn't have time to contact these at all.

Just a year ago, after he came to Jiangnan from Guangmingding, he began to contact the Five Elements Flag while dealing with official business.

Then, he found that with the iron-smelting technology and various gunpowder knowledge mastered by the Five Elements Banner, he could develop a cannon in the true sense.

Therefore, Baizhu immediately passed on some modern knowledge about gunpowder, iron smelting, and design to Xin Ran, so that he could develop a cannon that was more in line with this era as soon as possible.

In fact, in the Yuan Dynasty, weapons similar to cannons have appeared, but limited by various practical conditions, as well as the lack of theory, these cannons are more of an auxiliary equipment on the battlefield, and when the two armies are fighting, artillery cannot become a decisive factor.

However, as a modern person who has traveled from later generations, Baizhu naturally understands the importance of the phrase "truth is within the range of a cannon" better than anyone else.

Therefore, after taking Ying Tianfu as a position, Baizhu immediately handed over all the knowledge of modern gunpowder and forging knowledge to Xin Ran little by little.

However, this kind of teaching did not have an immediate effect, after all, Xin Ran and others are ancient people after all, and it is okay to use those knowledge, but it still takes time to accumulate it to really understand it.

"It's very ashamed to say that my subordinates. ”

Seeing Bai Zhu's face showing joy, Xin Ran looked embarrassed, "The sect leader has passed on the knowledge to us and others, but we have only now studied the cannon that the sect leader said, and our subordinates really dare not take credit." ”

In fact, to be honest, when Baizhu wrote that knowledge into a book and handed it to him at the beginning, Xin Ran didn't care.

Although he admires the strength of Baizhu Xin Ran, when it comes to the study of firearms, he is still very proud.

But Baizhu is the sect leader after all, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only obediently study according to what Baizhu said.

With this research, he was shocked to find that all the knowledge he had mastered before had been written in the book by Baizhu!

Moreover, the things that I had a vague premonition but were not sure about were also written in the book by Baizhu.

When he continued to conduct in-depth experiments according to what Baizhu said, he really realized what kind of secret book Baizhu had given him-

As long as he thoroughly understands the contents of this book and creates the various weapons described in it, he believes that in the future, when the Mingjiao rebel army faces the Yuan army, it will only be crushed!

In the words of the Baizhu book, it is a kind of technological crushing.

Therefore, when he heard Baizhu say that he had made great contributions, he was so ashamed.

"Xin Zhangqi envoy, what you said is not right, although the knowledge was given to you by me, but the knowledge turned into physical objects was created by your own hands, and I remember your merits. ”

Baizhu got up and said, "Let's go, take me to see how the cannon you developed is." ”

"Yes!"

......

Soon, Baizhu appeared with Xin Ran in a hidden manor.

When he came to the courtyard, Baizhu saw a lot of workers walking around, a busy scene.

Seeing that no one saw him when he brought the sect leader over, Xin Ran secretly glanced at Baizhu, for fear that Baizhu would be displeased.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual on Baizhu's face, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but was stopped by Baizhu.

"Xin Zhangqi envoy, let's go see the cannon first. ”

Naturally, he doesn't get angry because of that.

"Yes, Sect Master, please come with me. ”

Xin Ran led Baizhu forward, and said apologetically to Baizhu: "It's all because my subordinates are so used to them on weekdays that they even forgot the rules." ”

"What rules?"

Baizhu was unimpressed: "You scientific researchers...... Oh, you craftsmen, you can turn all the knowledge I have given you into reality, that's the biggest rule. ”

"Yes, yes, my subordinates are ignorant. ”

Although I didn't understand what Baizhu meant by the scientific researchers, I also knew that Baizhu was not displeased by this.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to a cannon made of black iron.

This cannon is about one and a half meters long, the caliber is not large, only seventy millimeters, and the whole body is divided into two parts: the gun carriage and the gun body.

"Sect Master, this is the twenty-two caliber cannon we have developed based on the knowledge recorded in your book. ”

Stroking the steel body of this cannon, Xin Ran seemed to be caressing the soft satin, and his face was full of pride: "I have tested its power before I went to see the sect leader, combined with the improved cannonball, its range can reach seven miles, far exceeding the current cannons of the Yuan army, and the power is at least five times that of the Tartar artillery!"

"Let's go, take me to the shooting range to see the actual effect!"

Hearing Xin Ran's words, Baizhu was not surprised, after all, this cannon looked the same as the current cannon on the outside, but it was completely applied with all kinds of modern knowledge inside.

Of course, compared to real modern artillery, this cannon is not even qualified to look at it, but compared to other artillery of the same era, whether it is the crank design, rifling design, or other details, this cannon is the father.

Pulling the cannon to the shooting range with a carriage, Xin Ran personally filled the ammunition and demonstrated the power of the cannon to Baizhu.

Rumble~~!

Rumble~~!

Rumble~~!

After the cultivation of modern shooting knowledge, Xin Ran has already mastered the use of the artillery rocker scale, and all three consecutive shots accurately hit the intended target.

"Good!"

Seeing the large cloud of smoke and dust rising at the foot of the mountain, Baizhu's eyes were full of satisfaction, "Xin Zhangqi Envoy, with this cannon, we will have much more confidence when facing the Tartars." ”

Although it is said that with his absolute force now, as long as he wants, there are almost no enemy leaders that he cannot assassinate, but in fact, in this year's time, Baizhu has not made a single attack at all.

Even half a year ago, when he clashed with the Yuan army, a Mingjiao rebel army was in a desperate situation, and Baishu did not come to his rescue—because he knew that if he only relied on his personal supreme force, his army would be defeated by others sooner or later.

That's why he values this cannon so much.

Just as in later generations, regardless of the various scandals of the US military, it still ranks first in the world, Baizhu deeply knows that only weapons and equipment are the strong strength of an army.

With powerful weapons, the morale of an army will be greatly boosted, while the enemy army will quickly lose its fighting spirit, and the victory or defeat is self-evident.

"Yes, my subordinates believe that with the advantage of artillery, we are just around the corner from overthrowing the Tartar court. ”

Xin Ran also said with great longing.
