Chapter 205: Fireworks Shake the Sky
Mordur watched quietly, and his heart was also secretly gesturing. At the time of the military parade, there was a grand scene here. Seeing that Du Cao was still following him, he ordered: "Hmm! Go and send a message to Li Da Diwan. Let's just say it's well arranged! At noon, the Governor and the envoys can be invited to observe the ceremony! ”。
Du Cao immediately responded and rushed to the barracks to deliver the message.
The time was fast, and noon had arrived in a blink of an eye. The sun is very big, and if you stand under the sun for a long time, your skin will hurt unconsciously.
After Li Chengji walked out of the governor, he was also a little uncomfortable with the current sun.
"Yesterday's rain is gone today!" , looked at the dry ground, licked his lips, inexplicably a little dry.
Rabi Lasi immediately handed over the water bladder and carefully unscrewed the stopper. Li Chengji took it and took a few big sips.
Due to its special status, the viewing platform is similar to the Governor's Palace. So Li Chengji soon went up to the viewing platform under the greeting of everyone.
In order to reflect the gap in identity, it is also to show enough prestige. The guests on the viewing platform have already been seated. As soon as Li Chengji came, he got up again. At the same time, the sound of firecrackers also crackled.
This is a Han tradition! When encountering a big celebration or happy event, they like to use firecrackers to express their joy. However, in the Hanaka area, firecracker workshops are not common. And because there are not many Han people, it is even rarer on the market.
Li Chengji made some firearms, so he selected a few craftsmen who knew a little about the manufacture of firearms from among the craftsmen in the army in Amu City. Teach them the art of making firearms and let them explore it carefully.
However, he lacks manufacturing experience, and is currently only in the black powder stage. And powerful firearms cannot be made. But this firecracker became an accident unintentionally.
This military inspection was to show his majesty, and Li Chengji also used this firecracker.
At this time, the surrounding area of the square was already surrounded by people who came to watch the ceremony. Because Li Chengji has specially explained, no stampede is allowed. Therefore, the Supervision and Inspection Department is not concerned about this. According to Modur's method, on both sides of the street where the soldiers walked, let the 'Red Turban Army' be on guard.
When the number of people reaches a certain level, the people are not allowed to pour in.
So it looks, though very crowded. But in reality, it has not reached the point of overcrowding.
When they heard the sound of firecrackers, their faces were shocked. I also saw the smoke of gunpowder, and I was afraid of the fire. However, the few Han people who had seen it looked at it and laughed.
The guests on the stage were not as knowledgeable as the common people. But there are very few things like firecrackers. So that when they first heard about it, most of them showed shock.
It was only when he saw Li Chengji calmly walking to the top and sitting down, that he held back the fear in his heart a little.
But that's not all!
As soon as the sound of firecrackers stopped, the sky roared again, and several thunderbolts exploded. The guests present immediately couldn't hold back. Everyone looked at the sky, but the sky was clear. But the bursts of fireworks secretly frightened them.
Li Chengji looked at everyone's reactions with a smile, and he was quite proud in his heart. The production of this firework is more cumbersome than that of firecrackers. But as long as there are enough raw materials, it is not difficult to manufacture.
He already has a steady stream of craftsmanship, and what he lacks is experienced craftsmen. He is slowly training now, and in time he will be able to produce firearms for use in battle.
Now, let's make some fireworks and firecrackers to scare people.
It took about ninety-nine eighty-one rings before the deafening roar could be stopped. But in the hearts of everyone, there are still thunderstorms. They had never seen anything like it soar into the sky! Not only does it make a terrifying sound, but it also explodes.
Although the scattered appearance is very charming, but if it falls on people, what is the situation?
If it weren't for Li Chengji still sitting on the stage, they would definitely be so frightened that they would have avoided everywhere.
After all, the bright spark is so scary to look at.
Sitting among the guests, the envoy of Yeli County, Yi Qigan, and the envoy of Nishapur County, Abed Aruf, both looked a little ugly. They didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the Governor's Palace of Khorasan.
They've heard of the firecrackers! The Han people of Balasagon have this custom. But this is the first time I have seen a 'rocket' that can burst into the sky.
When I think about the cathars attacking them with such things, I am terrified.
Only Bancheng County Shou Le, as if he felt that the fireworks that exploded just now were extremely beautiful.
"Second county envoy, can this 'firework' be beautiful?" Kanati caught a glimpse of the gloomy faces of Yiqigan and Abed Aruf, and deliberately sneered.
When they were in the same post house arranged by the Governor's Palace, Kanati and Yi begged for it, but they laughed at him for being timid. Now I finally have the opportunity to laugh at them, and I will not let them go.
"Fireworks? How do you know it's called Fireworks? Although Yi Qigan felt uncomfortable, he was immediately curious that Kanati knew the source of the fireworks.
"Oh, the Governor and I are very close, and when I was talking a few days ago, I happened to meet the secretary of the Governor to report that he had made a firearm that could soar into the sky, fireworks..."
Although he was skeptical of fireworks at the time, he now sees it with his own eyes, and he feels very dignified. Especially myself, I knew about it earlier.
Yi Qigan also knows that Li Chengji has a close relationship with Kanati these days! When I heard this explanation, it was only accidental. Shut your mouth right now, lest you be bored. Abed Aruf had other ideas, so he said tentatively: "This fireworks thing is so powerful, it must be very rare to make it---."
"Oh--where is it...," Kanati retorted immediately. Then he told all the news he had heard.
Abed Aruf listened, and his heart was shocked. Because, according to Kanati, the Governor's Palace is very handy with fireworks. Then in the future, thousands of them will be created, and the entire city will be destroyed.
Yi Qigan was also shocked in his heart, and secretly thought to himself that he must transmit this news back to Yeli as soon as possible.
Despite their silence, the field was noisy. But a man dressed as a tribal messenger sitting behind them had his ears moving slightly, and he listened to their words.
At this time, Li Chengji also began to speak. The first is to move out of the banner of Da Liao, and say a bunch of heartfelt words for Da Liao. Because most of the people on the field were under the rule of the caliphate, it was baptized by Islam for hundreds of years. So after Li Chengji said it in Chinese, he asked people to translate it in Persian.
As for the Khitan language! Even the eighteen Khitan tribes who followed Dezong's westward migration gradually forgot about it. Speaking Khitan again, it is redundant.
