Chapter 479: Exhortation

With a bang, the mortar shell flew out, rolled up several times in an arc visible to the naked eye, and then landed steadily towards the target.

The shell fell into a small mound of earth in the distance, and exploded open, blowing the mound to pieces, and the imitation infantry, cavalry wooden cards, were blown up.

Wang Zhongzheng was frightened, waved his hand and surrounded the carriage.

An excited voice in the car whispered, "Get out of the way, it's blocking my view!" ”

Chongyi ran in front of Su You: "Report Cao Shuai, mortar, triple base propellant, live ammunition test firing, target 200 meters, destroy!" ”

Su You waved his hand: "Go on!" ”

A team of sergeants of the Hoarding Army pushed up a golden cannon, the outer wall was polished so that it could show the figure of a person, and after installing the gun mount, Chongyi returned to the observation position again, read the parameters, and the sergeant began to shake the handle to adjust the muzzle.

After the sergeant's report was adjusted, Chongyi's eyes did not leave the theodolite: "Nine rapid fire, release!" ”

One soldier filled a copper gun into the magazine, opened the copper cap, and another soldier held a torch to ignite the fire, and with a "boom", the shell flew out, and a cloud of dirt and smoke exploded on a mound farther away.

Next, reload and fire again.

With each fire, the barrel jerks back and then resets under the action of the steel spring's return machine.

The Reloader is a select Hercules who, after a long period of training, is now very fast.

The ignition hand was expressionless, and the two exchanged verbal orders like a machine.

The nine shells were fired in a blink of an eye, except for two that were deflected, and then corrected by the breeder, all seven shells smashed on the mound three hundred meters away, and only one foundation was left in that place.

The strong smell of gunpowder smoke wafted from the position, and the might of the artillery shocked everyone's faces.

Although the horses have been earplugged in advance, there are now many people who are scurrying around, and the forbidden army is scolding and controlling.

Chongyi ran up again: "Report Cao Shuai, Zimu gun, one pound of nitrocellulose charge, nine rounds of live ammunition rapid fire, 300-meter medium-sized target, destroy!" ”

Su You ignored Uncle Gao, who was shaking beside him, and waved his hand: "Go on!" ”

This was followed by a slow-fire gun, the charge unchanged, but with an additional procedure to shake the bolt, this time hitting a large stone platform in the far distance, and crashing a large corner.

The last one came up with a big guy, and the preparation time was very long, and the sergeants charged the bag from the muzzle, then stabbed to the bottom with a long rod, and then carefully removed the shell weighing fifteen pounds from the box, installed the impact fuse, and then carefully fed into the barrel, and again into the bottom with a special long rod.

Looking at such a huge cannon barrel and watching the careful operation of this gang, Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian couldn't bear it, their fingers trembled slightly, and they felt that the chrysanthemum was a little tight.

Uncle Gao Guo was so nervous that he grabbed Su You's sleeve.

The sergeants hid again, opened the fire door on the cannon, pulled the rope, and the flintlock device fell.

"Boom!" There was an earth-shattering bang, the muzzle of the cannon was shrouded in gunsmoke, and Uncle Gao Guo screamed miserably: "My mother is also ......" As soon as his legs were weak, he slipped out of the ground.

The cannonball made a short whistling sound, directly crossed the kilometer distance, and slammed into the middle and lower part of the stone platform, and then exploded inside.

"Boom!" In the distance, the sky was full of stones and clods of earth flew up, and a huge stone platform as a beacon watchtower was shattered.

The escort horse team was completely chaotic, and Wang Zhongzheng drew his knife and shouted while controlling his mount: "The whole team! Control the horse! Special mother, give me control of the horse! ”

When we regained control of the situation and looked at the bombardment two miles away, a puff of smoke and dust had not yet dissipated, drifting into the air dozens of meters in the air.

Su You helped Uncle Gao, who was already half-paralyzed, to the carriage: "After the minister's demonstration, please give a lecture." ”

There was no sound in the carriage.

Su You was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty? ”

A hoarse voice in the car said, "Come up." ”

Su You boarded the car, but saw Zhao Ji wearing a dark purple crane dark pattern brocade robe, and his face was full of tears.

It was not good to give a salute in the car, so Su You had to give it up: "Your Majesty ......"

Zhao Ji muttered: "The five seasons are lost, and the fox is blazing." Yizu made a state, and thought of punishing Ai ......"

Su You continued: "...... The inner government was set up to recruit soldiers. Great-grandson Baozhi, dare to forget his ambition. ”

Zhao Ji's eyes focused on the void far behind Su You: "Taizu is determined to open up the thirty-two warehouses of the sealed pile, and he intends to restore the clouds." Taizong conquered Liao twice, won first and then lost, and the arrow wound repeatedly occurred and collapsed. Zhenzong Dynasty Liao people persecuted, entered into the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the annual coins increased year by year, to now 500,000! Shameful! Hateful! ”

Su You said: "Your Majesty ......"

Zhao Ji seemed to wake up suddenly, and grabbed Su You's wrist: "Mingrun, with such a divine soldier, why should you be afraid?!" And Xixia, Fu Yanyun, the great cause can be expected! You and I will join hands with our monarchs and ministers to restore the foundation of our ancestors and re-show the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties! ”

"Your Majesty!" Su You yelled: "Wake up!" ”

Zhao Ji was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

Su You himself was frightened by himself, and hurriedly bowed down to salute: "Your Majesty, the ministers are abrupt in front of the saint, and I beg for forgiveness." ”

Zhao Ji said anxiously: "What? What you just said isn't feasible? ”

Su You sorted out his thoughts: "Your Majesty, do you remember the curve diagram I drew?" ”

Zhao Ji was stupid.

Su You said: "Your Majesty, if you want to win, you must first be undefeated. If you want to plan far, you have to worry about it closely. ”

"The country is weak and has enemies on all sides. Three redundant and wasteful, leaving no one in a hundred. The rise of Shuzhong, less than 20 years, Shaanxi self-sufficiency, less than two years. There are still 500,000 regular troops in Western Xia, and the soldiers of the Liao State can mobilize millions! ”

"Hengshan has not been taken, and Qingtang has not been settled. The Yellow River flooded, swept the plains, the cities were ruins, and the people were lost. Jinghu Lake is miasma, and Linghai is wild. ”

"The Liao people are deterred, and the southern Xinjiang is restless. There have been repeated rebellions within the borders, and there are fierce eyes outside the borders. ”

"The people's endowment has increased again and again, the land annexation is fierce, the materials are not flowing, and the roads are not smooth."

"In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it can be called Antai, only Shuzhong, Jingshi, and Hangyang."

"In all the rest of the world, the people have not yet been fed!"

"Your Majesty, the minister never doubted that the curve would eventually be flattened again, then raised its head, and finally unstoppable! But Your Majesty, it's hard to return, and we need time! ”

"Shaanxi, Hebei, what is lost is a generation! How long will it take for a generation to recover? Twenty years! Twenty years! ”

"Your Majesty, Gaoliang River, Qigou Pass, Haoshui River, Dingchuan Village, gambling again and again - the Great Song Dynasty Guoyun is sent again and again when gambling is interrupted!"

"The equipment just now, although sharp, but do you know the cost?! The largest cannon is two thousand catties of copper! Plus the working hours and costs, it's 20,000 yuan! ”

"The cost of the gun is 5,000 yuan, the mortar is better, there are more than 1,000 yuan, and the ammunition is gone."

"There is also a magic gun, which is a single piece of equipment, and it costs eighty yuan to use it, and if you want to use it, you need at least two thousand people in a battalion. According to the estimates of the minister, the annual consumption is as high as more than 400,000 yuan! As long as there are 10,000 magic machines, the minister dares to calm the Mobei for His Majesty and overcome Youyan! But Your Majesty - is it possible?! ”

"Don't forget that last year, the imperial court's finances were still beyond their means!"

"The minister presented a few weapons to tell His Majesty that we have great hope and that the dawn is ahead. But be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time. The merit may not be in our generation, but it will be in our next generation, the next generation! They will be grateful for the foundation we have laid, for the blood and sweat we have paid, and we will be sent to the altar as well! ”

Looking at Zhao Ji's surprised expression, Su You suddenly reacted and changed his tone: "Eh, Your Majesty, for the minister, for the minister, how is it the same as Bao Heizi......"

Zhao Ji also reacted, and sneered: "It's rare to see Mingrun also have a gaffe, I thought Sima Guang had become younger." ”

Su You said sincerely: "Your Majesty, Han Gong can be said to be the most understanding person in the Great Song Dynasty today, he only needs to send a close minister to explain the benefits and disadvantages to him in private, how can Han Gong not take the initiative to resign?" Why bother to let Taiwan advise Xi from the top and bite indiscriminately, leading to the situation a few months ago? This is a mistake on the part of His Majesty, and the minister cannot help but admonish. ”

"Ouyang Xiu's loss, in Emperor Yu Han Xuan, before he started the debate, he lost half of it first."

"Your Majesty, we are all still young, Han Wei's recital, I hope Your Majesty will put it on the desk and always be vigilant about yourself."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, you are a king who wants to cheer up, and a minister who is also a minister who serves his life. Now, please give your Majesty a name for a few weapons. ”

Zhao Ji was a little embarrassed just now, but now he smiled again: "Look at what names you get!" Also explore the tweed...... Well, those two things used for attack, mortars, called ambush cannons, those son-mother guns, called thunderbolt cannons, as for the national weapons for defense, they are called - General Zhenguo! ”

Su You smiled: "Thank you Your Majesty for the name!" ”

Zhao Ji nodded: "The name of the god machine gun is barely like a little bit, let's go, how is it, go to the shooting range first." ”
