Chapter 595: The Empress Travels to Cheng's Village
Datang is very lively.
Today's Datang can be said to be very lively.
However, early, Empress Gaoyang left the palace, followed Cheng Chubi out of the palace, and went to the mountains and forests in the distance.
The mountain road is winding, but the horse-drawn carriage can still go along the mountain road.
The four-wheeled carriage is indeed much more stable than the ordinary carriage, especially after adding the shock absorber, it has become more stable.
Of course, the shaky is inevitable.
"Husband, how far do you have to go?" Empress Gaoyang was sitting, her farts were numb.
"It's not far, it's not far away, it's coming soon." Cheng Chubi showed a wicked smile on his face and said, "Or, let's have a shock?" ”
"Husband, there are still people outside." Empress Gaoyang glanced at Cheng Chubi, this bad guy is always dishonest.
"What are you afraid of, if you don't make a sound, I don't make a sound, the outside naturally doesn't know."
“……”
Finally, after another stick of incense had passed, the carriage stopped, and there was a commotion outside.
"It's here!" Cheng Chubi smiled slightly, he already smelled the smell of saltpeter.
"Arrived?" Empress Gaoyang looked puzzled, and then stepped down from the carriage.
A huge fortress appeared in the sight of Empress Gaoyang. On the high city walls, there were still some people patrolling back and forth.
"This ...... This is? "Empress Gaoyang was shocked, such a big building has been built for a long time, right? As an empress, she didn't know that in Datang, not far from Chang'an City, there was such a place.
"This is our home, the Cheng family's cottage." Cheng Chubi smiled slightly and said, "My dear Empress Your Majesty, welcome to Chengjiazhai. ”
"Boom la la ......"
One by one, the sound sounded, and then, I saw the gate of Chengjiazhai, which was slowly being lifted, and after waiting for a long time, I was finally able to see the situation inside through the gate.
Walking through this city wall, behind it is a combination of Chinese and Western buildings built with stones, and castles appear one after another.
Cheng also wanted to use wood, but here, in this era, wooden buildings are indeed relatively easy to destroy.
In the history of China, there were countless tall and brilliant palaces, and the only thing left in the end was the Forbidden City.
In foreign countries, there are many palaces with a history of thousands of years.
Of course, the degree of magnificence is still not as gorgeous as that of the Huaxia Palace.
"Go, my Majesty, this is my territory, and you are welcome to visit my kingdom." Cheng Chubi smiled and took the empress's hand and walked inside.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
One after another, there was a loud sound, and the shaking was all around.
"!" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but scold, are these guys really bored to the point of home? As soon as Lao Tzu comes, you will open fire!
"Husband, what is this?" Empress Gaoyang asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, these guys are testing the cannonball, don't you often ask, where did Datang's shells come from? That's where it came from. Cheng Chubi showed a hint of pride on his face and said: "This is our factory, and the configuration of gunpowder and shells, as well as the casting of shells, are all made here." ”
"Do you see the caves on the mountain? It was full of gunpowder without configuration. Originally, I thought that if we were old in the future, we would spend our old age here, but now it seems that it is not possible. Cheng Chubi said with a smile.
He was not embarrassed to tell the empress, in fact, this place was originally used as a refuge.
However, after thinking about it, after their own modifications, even if An Lushan and the others wanted to appear, they couldn't make a fuss about the wind and rain.
In the future, their ancestors will be gone, and they will still be there.
"Report!"
At this time, a figure came to Cheng Chubi's side, saluted and said: "Report to Your Highness, the new gun has been developed, please show it to Your Highness!" ”
"Oh? Got it out? Hurry, take me quickly, take me quickly! Cheng Chubi was extremely happy in his heart.
In addition to liking women, men are guns.
Especially the man who touched the gun!
Ever since the cannon came out, Cheng Chubi has been thinking about being able to get the gun out.
These people have worked hard for more than two years and three years, and finally got the gun out, and Cheng Chubi really despises these guys.
In later generations, teenagers would make matchsticks out of parts from single wheels and chains, and it took so much time for these guys to get things out.
"Whoa!"
The other party responded, and then took Cheng Chubi to a short distance, only to see that at this time, several soldiers were already ready.
And in front of these soldiers, there were humanoid targets.
And in the hands of these people are the wheeled guns.
This is designed by Cheng Chubi, far from the revolver gun, but it is much larger than the revolver, and the barrel is much longer.
"Ready, shoot!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
“……”
One after another, there were sounds, and then I saw that the target on the opposite side was hit in all directions, and it looked really terrifying.
"This ...... This is the gun? Empress Gaoyang was a little surprised, and said, "The power of this gun is as powerful as an arrow!" This thing must not be passed on, otherwise the world will be in turmoil. ”
Empress Gaoyang is not stupid, so she naturally saw the power of this gun.
"That's natural, but this shot is much more powerful than an arrow, but even if it gets out, it's fine." Cheng Chubi said with a smile: "Anyway, except for me, no one can equip an army." ”
"Why is that?" Empress Gaoyang was puzzled.
And at this time, Cheng Chubi handed an empty bullet to Empress Gaoyang, who took it, then looked at it and said, "Copper? ”
"That's right, it's copper." Cheng Chubi laughed and said, "There are flint, gunpowder and copper in here. A bullet costs two cents, plus gunpowder and labor costs, it is estimated that there are still ten cents. ”
"One shot is ten cents, this ...... This ......" Empress Gaoyang is really convinced, this is simply throwing money into the water.
If the two armies are fighting, it is not how strong the opponent's soldiers are, but how rich the commander is.
Even if you have money, you can't play like that!
An army of tens of thousands of people, that is a matter of hundreds of thousands of millions of Wen, in this era, in Datang, copper is money! Money is copper!
Datang lacks copper, and the whole world is short of copper!
Later generations of mechanized production, copper increased.
It is estimated that in the entire Tang Dynasty, only the wealthy Cheng Chubi can afford to supply so many soldiers.
