Chapter 22: The Power of Firearms

"I don't know what Brother Prince has been busy with lately...... Qing Ning sighed, "What about accompanying me recently......

"You, you!" The queen lightly tapped the tip of Qing Ning's nose, "Your prince brother, naturally he is busy with the affairs of the imperial court, don't disturb him lightly." ”

Seeing that Qing Ning was wearing a water red dress, she looked particularly energetic, and the corners of the queen's mouth were upturned, in her life, she still begged Qing Ning to have a smooth life.

Qing Ning frowned, stretched out his hand to cover the tip of his nose, "The queen mother is eccentric, this is the prince's brother's untrusted, and it is not Qingning's fault......" Seeing the queen's disapproving expression, he immediately said: "But Qingning will understand the prince's brother's busy government affairs! The prince's brother has also worked really hard......"

But no, the queen smiled and didn't follow Qing Ning's words. It's just that the more stable the prince's position, the safer he and Qing Ning will be. "Qing Ning has to be obedient recently, needlework or something, I roughly know a little bit, and I carefully boiled my eyes. ”

"No, the queen mother, I still have to make a handkerchief for my father, a dress for the prince's brother, and the queen mother, I plan to make a purse for the queen mother, I even have the style in mind!" Qing Ning began to count one by one with his fingers.

The old lady standing next to Qing Ning, the corners of her mouth moved unnoticedly, and then her lips pursed vigorously, as if trying to control the muscles on her face to prevent herself from laughing.

The queen is much more direct than the old lady, "A few days ago, your prince's brother came over, and the purse he was carrying, the queen mother saw it, it's hard for your prince's brother, such an ugly purse will be worn on his body, and he is not afraid of being laughed at......"

Lin Su naturally didn't wear the purse on his body every day, but the queen asked once, in line with the fact that he was not the first person to get Qingning's gift, he was very disgusted with Qingning's gift, and saw that Qingning's face was already a little annoyed and angry, and he still smiled and quipped: "The queen mother doesn't dare to ask for your things, if you let others see it, you will lose the queen mother's son, the queen mother is not like your prince brother......

"Queen Mother!" Qing Ning grabbed the corner of the queen's clothes, stretched her voice and said: "The child is like ~this~ diligent, even if it is not skilled because of the skill, the queen mother should not say this about the child~"

Seeing that the queen was indifferent to her words, Qing Ning just wanted to hold the queen's arm and sprinkle Jiao, but felt a vibration under her feet.

Syllable!

The tea cup on the table suddenly rolled to the ground, and the fine white porcelain reflected the panicked faces of the palace people.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rumbling sound outside, like thunder falling on the ears, and people panicked!

"Don't panic, the earth dragon just turned over!" The queen who was sitting in the back seat grabbed Qing Ning, who was obviously frightened, and Qing Ning grabbed the queen's hand tightly, but when she saw the queen's calm appearance, she was also slightly relieved.

It didn't take long for the shaking of the ground to stop, and the queen patted Qingning's head soothingly, and then said to the grandmother standing beside her: "Go to the palaces to take a look, this should be the earth dragon turned over, it is estimated that the earth dragon is not big, pacify the palaces! Find out, where the earth dragon turned over!"

"Yes,!" the old woman turned and went down!

The queen patted Qingning's shoulder, and seeing that Qingning still didn't seem to come back to her senses, she sighed softly, Ning'er's temperament, I'm afraid it won't work if no one protects her, I hope the prince can be obedient, otherwise after a hundred years, I'm afraid that no one will support Ning'er......

It's just that since ancient times, they have paid attention to the induction of heaven and man, and the turning of this earth dragon generally indicates that the emperor's virtue is at a loss, if someone takes advantage of this, I am afraid that Lin Su will not be easy to deal with......

The queen thought about it for a while, but still gave her henchman a look and commanded a few words.

Although the palace was panicked for a while, it was the palace after all, and after the panic, it was restored to order. Outside the palace, it was much more lively.

"But no! At that time, I felt that the world was spinning, and then there was a loud noise in the west! This Lei Gong's anger is nothing more than that!" Many people in the teahouse were discussing this sudden earth dragon turnover.

"That's, my father was playing with a white jade bowl at the time, but this time the earth dragon came suddenly, but he was really startled, and the jade bowl in his hand was not kept, which is really distressing!"

"The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, it is said that this dragon is in the western suburbs? That is the Royal Forest Garden, it is said to be the place where His Majesty hunts, this field dragon is gone, and I don't know if this forest garden is damaged!"

"Come on, this earth dragon just turned over slightly, although the loud noise is really scary, but that's all, Your Majesty didn't do anything angry......"

"I don't know if this earth dragon turned over and it was a warning from the sky......"

"Silence! Anyway, it has nothing to do with small people like us. ”

The entire capital was discussing the turning of the dragon, but everyone in the western suburbs was dumbfounded.

Dingguo Gongmu stared blankly at the things in front of him, how could such an iron lump bomb such a large piece of mountains and forests be destroyed! If this is used to attack the city wall, it will not be accurate to bombard one by one? Dingguo Gong couldn't help but touch his ears, and his hand touched the earplugs that Lin Su had given to everyone.

Stretched out his hand and took it directly, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must let everyone bring this so-called earplug at that time, as soon as he remembered the loud sound just now, Ding Guogong only felt that his ears were still buzzing, and he reached out and pulled out both earbuds, and Ding Guogong jumped directly to the side of the cannon.

"This thing is good!" Ding Guogong patted the hot cannon barrel, then glanced at the place where it was almost scorched, and then stared at the cannon in front of him with bright eyes, "It's just a weapon for defending the city, plus the fire ......gun that His Highness showed us just now, to deal with the cavalry" As he spoke, he seemed to think of the bright prospects of the war in the future, and Dingguo Gong stared at Lin Su with bright eyes: "His Royal Highness the Prince, these things, presumably in addition to the Shenji Battalion, other places must also be equipped, especially the soldiers guarding the frontier!"

Seeing Lin Su's dazed face, as if he didn't know what he was talking about, Dingguo Gong was a little anxious and pulled Lin Su's sleeve.

It was the first time for Lin Su to see Dingguo Gong so out of shape, he reached out and took out the earbuds stuffed in his ears, and patted his head, the roar was too loud, even if Lin Su had prepared before, it still made him shake his ears as if a big bell had struck, and it hurt people.

With an impeccable smile, Lin Su glanced at Dingguo Gong, and then glanced at the people around him, the generals were okay, most of them were the same as Lin Su, just a little uncomfortable, but Wenchen, who was slightly better, patted his chest, the horror in his eyes had not yet dissipated, and he almost even covered his chest, looking like he was going to go at any time.

It's my cheap brother, who doesn't look like he's uncomfortable. Lin Su glanced at it, and saw the resentment in his eyes that could not be concealed, and calmly moved his gaze over.

"Dingguo Gong, you old man, ask for things from juniors, are you ashamed or not!" The emperor who sat on the top of the throne saw that everyone was stunned, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with this sharp weapon, why not worry about not stepping on the world!

Da Zhou still attaches a certain amount of importance to things like gunpowder, otherwise he would not have set up a Shenji battalion. It's just that this kind of attention is really limited, after all, the power of gunpowder weapons is generally not long, plus the old firearms, the gunpowder filling time is long, and before the next shot is finished, the opposing cavalry will kill and take the soldier's head.

Therefore, in the past, the firearms of the Great Zhou Dynasty mainly played a psychological role in frightening the enemy's war horses, and could not be used as an effective way to intercept the cavalry, but the firearms taken out by Lin Su completely subverted the firearms recognized by the Great Zhou people, not only with high lethality, but more importantly, the accuracy has also improved a lot. In addition, the craftsmen also made a kind of cannonball, which can strike at the enemy in a large area, although the power is not as strong as those in a small area, but in disrupting the enemy's army formation and causing the cavalry to mess up, this weapon may be very useful.

The charge of the cavalry was sealed, and the so-called cavalry was just a mass of walking meat.

The craftsmen began to introduce the functions of these things to the people surrounding these weapons, listening to the eyes of the military attachés around them, the civil officials were thoughtful, and everyone consciously or unconsciously set their eyes on Lin Su.

The eldest prince looked at Lin Su, who was in the spotlight of everyone, his face was unmoving, faintly, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.
