The four-wheeled carriage has been born, which has greatly helped the people of the Great Song Dynasty to travel and the development of transportation.

Now the top priority of Emperor Zhao Kuangyin is the military cause of the Great Song Dynasty, how to improve the traditional military equipment such as bows and crossbows, stone throwers, knives and guns, armor and the application of new weapons, this is one of the problems that Zhao Kuangyin is currently facing.

And in Kaifeng, since the birth of cement, everything has become very simple, the emperor ordered all military facilities in the Feishan camp outside the city to be built with cement, under the emperor's will, the military camp outside the city has also built some military facilities, from a distance, rows of military houses have been built.

Time has passed again, and in the second year of Jianlong, Bingyin in the second lunar month, since the last time he trained the navy in Jinmingchi and Zhao Dezhao built a four-wheeled carriage.

One day in February, Wei Pi, the military superintendent, was served by a craftsman, with a dark face, and sent someone to immediately enter the palace to inform Zhao Dezhao, the king of Liang, and after returning to the palace with Zhao Hongyin a few days ago, Zhao Dezhao moved back to the palace.

The errand runner immediately rushed to the palace and snatched the news to Zhao Dezhao at the palace gate. After receiving the news, Zhao Dezhao changed into an ordinary service and hurried to the ordnance superintendent.

At this moment, at the gate of the Ordnance Prison, Wei Pi waited for a long time, and what was produced this time was a red-coated cannon, but the musket gun and other things had not yet been successfully made.

"Minister Wei Pi to see His Highness, Your Highness, please come with me." After speaking, Wei Pi took Zhao Dezhao to the empty backyard.

In the clearing, under the cover of red silk, there was a thick pillar, and Zhao Dezhao couldn't wait to lift the red silk, revealing a copper cannon barrel.

Zhao Dezhao handed the red silk to Wei Pi, and then began to fire a large number of artillery up and down, left, left and right.

This cannon is completely built according to the original design of Zhao Dezhao, but the materials used to build this copper pillar are from the copper ore of Liuqiu, and a lot of materials are consumed.

Zhao Dezhao touched this copper pillar with his hand, although the surface was rough and its appearance was not good, but Zhao Dezhao also wanted to test its power, but the place where he would be imprisoned was located in the interior of Gyeonggi, so it was inconvenient to test.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao suddenly remembered one thing, that is, a few days after the original history, it was Zhao Kuangyin who went to the Feishan Camp for a military parade, and Zhao Kuangyin was very concerned about the training of the Great Song Army.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao suddenly remembered this incident.

"Wei Qing, you asked this cannon to be transported to the Feishan Camp outside the city." Zhao Dezhao ordered.

Wei Pi received the order and instructed the palace people to load the cannon into the car and then transport it to the Feishan camp.

At this moment, in the Feishan camp outside the city, the imperial court camp is stationed here, camped on the mountain, lined up, and built according to the terrain.

Since the birth of cement, some fortifications have been built in this area, such as cement walls, non-commissioned quarters and other military fortifications.

In the afternoon of the same day, two four-wheeled carriages loaded with red-coated cannons drove to the Feishan camp.

When the soldiers guarding the camp saw the four-wheeled carriage tied in red silk, they blocked the way and shouted, "Who is coming?" Don't trespass on important military camps. ”

"General Hui, this is a cannon."

"Cannon, who asked you to transport it, is it a spy?" The sergeant stepped forward to take a look.

At the same time, Zhao Dezhao rode a four-wheeled carriage to the gate of the barracks.

"Stop, this is what the king asked to transport the Feishan Battalion, and it is the cannon inside, and the official family will go to the Feishan Camp in person in a few days to review the cannon."

Zhao Dezhao shouted, and then showed the token identifying himself to the sergeant, and when the sergeant saw it, he immediately let the vehicle escort in.

"His Royal Highness King Liang forgive the sins, come here - transport the cannon to the camp tent." After saying that, the cannon has been escorted inside.

After Zhao Dezhao returned to the palace from the Feishan Battalion, the ordnance supervisor over there had already reported the development of the cannon to Zhao Kuangyin.

At this moment, the attendant beside Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly ran to Zhao Dezhao's bedroom, "Your Highness, the official family has an order, let you see the driver as soon as possible." ”

"What?" Zhao Dezhao asked the waiter.

"It seems to be about artillery."

"Hmm!"

After speaking, Zhao Dezhao went to the Funing Hall with the inner servant.

"Haha, Zhao'er, I just heard Wei Pi say that the artillery has been successfully developed, so it's better to go with my father now." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Daddy, now that the artillery has been transported to the Feishan camp outside the city, it is better for my father to inspect the Feishan camp in a few days."

"Hmm! That's fine, my father has long wanted to go to the Feishan camp, and now I heard that the ordnance supervisor has developed an artillery, and he is planning to do so. ”

Three days later, Zhao Kuangyin asked Shi Shouxin, Cao Bin and others to accompany him, and then took a new carriage with Zhao Dezhao to the Feishan camp outside the city.

At this moment, the Feishan Battalion had already received the news that the emperor was here, and immediately led the army to pick up and escort at the gate.

Stepping into the Feishan camp, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't wait to see the true face of the artillery, and on the open space outside the camp tent, two artillery pieces had been placed in the open space.

Crisp shelves, rugged copper pipes, and...... The artillery designed now is still a primary product, because the artillery has to be well-made, so it is now ......

"Father, it's better to start firing artillery now, so that Father can witness the power of this artillery." Zhao Kuangyin proposed, he also wanted to see the power of this artillery.

"It's okay, it's impossible to be a father." After that, Zhao Kuangyin began to give orders to fire artillery in the open field.

At this moment, the soldiers have set up the cannon in the open space, because the gun has wheels underneath and brakes, so it can be moved and disassembled. The gun carriage moves on wheels, but the wheels must be lifted or removed before firing, and the gun is supported on a seat disc or beam frame when firing.

The cannon was angled, and then the swarthy muzzle of the cannon began to point at a small hill in the distance, and on top of the hill there were already several wooden pillars.

At this moment, the soldiers filled the barrel of the gunpowder into the barrel of the gun, which then ignited the line of fire.

Zhao Kuangyin had already seen the power of the black * gun* powder in person, so he had already let people retreat far away, and at this moment, the artillery began to fire.

The "boom-" shell began to move in the distance at a parabolic angle, and the "boom-" cannon charge hit the target, which began to shatter in an instant, and under the artillery attack, the wood broke.

The people present covered their ears, and the earth trembled when they saw the power of the cannon splashing after it landed, and then the earth and stones flew away, and the mushroom clouds were together, and they saw that the wooden pillars had broken together.

"Hmm! This cannon is so powerful. Zhao Kuangyin nodded and praised.

"Official, this artillery really opened our eyes, and from now on, our Great Song army will be invincible." Shi Shouxin and others sighed.

"Yes, father, General Shi, if this cannon is installed on the deck of the bow ship, and the whole ship is equipped with firepower, I don't know if my Great Song Navy will be able to fight with the Tang Army."

Some time ago, Zhao Dezhao told Zhao Kuangyin that he wanted to load artillery on the ship, and now the power displayed by the artillery has opened the eyes of these people, and the war will change a lot in the future.

"What Zhao'er said is very much, wait until the artillery is made a few more, and then let the shipbuilder erect the artillery on the hull."

Then Zhao Kuangyin ordered that no one in the military camp was allowed to divulge secrets, and then ordered the craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervision to make artillery.

After inspecting the Feishan camp, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Dezhao and his entourage returned home.
