The Chinese New Year's Eve of the fifty-third year of the Great Qin calendar and the third year of the Second Dynasty finally arrived. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the beginning of the lanterns, the sky began to flutter one after another, and before the shijiān of tea, the sparse snowflakes turned into goose feathers and snow fell from the sky with a soft sound, enveloping the whole earth.

Since two or three days ago, Xianyang City has been filled with the sound of burning firecrackers, of course, this firecracker is not gunpowder firecrackers, but bamboo that burns until ziji bursts. The sound of firecrackers reached its peak on Chinese New Year's Eve".

Piles of firecrackers, coupled with lanterns hanging everywhere, turn the entire Xianyang City into a city that never sleeps.

Of course, the lively and happy difāng is certainly not only Xianyang, but also all parts of Daqin, including Pingyi, Goryeo, Inner Mongolia, Guilin, Xiangjun and other places, also began to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year at this moment, and celebrate the New Year happily.

In the past three years, because of Hu Hai's tax exemption, compared with the noble family, the people's lives should be more comfortable than their lives. Bijing, the person at the bottom, is the most satisfied.

The various royal palaces were all brightly lit, and the Afang Palace, which was the most luxurious in Daqin, also opened its doors to welcome visitors from all over the world on this day.

Today, Emperor Hu Hai of Great Qin II will feast his ministers in the main hall of Afang Palace.

In addition to the ministers of the Great Qin, there were also hundreds of representatives of meritorious soldiers, representatives who had contributed to the Great Qin in all walks of life in the past three years, and representatives of the relatives of the fallen soldiers who had charged for the Great Qin in previous battles.

In the entire main hall of Afang Palace, there are probably no less than thousands of people gathered.

From the beginning of the construction of Afang Palace to the present, this Chinese New Year's Eve in the third year of the Second Dynasty should be the largest number of people accepted by Afang Palace.

But. Not to mention those ordinary soldiers and ordinary people who have even entered Xianyang Palace, even the vast majority of the courtiers of Great Qin are very few of them who have gone deep into Afang Palace to find a victory.

To zhidào, the people who were raised in the Afang Palace were all harem concubines and princesses who originally belonged to the Six Kingdoms. And these people, Shihou where the First Emperor is in, although Méiyou have touched them, it does not mean that others can touch them. And after Hu Hai ascended the throne, he regarded the harem concubines and princesses of the Six Kingdoms in Afang Palace as the forbidden side of Ziji, and it was even more méiyou who dared to come in and hook up with Hu Hai's rebels.

Although Hu Hai stopped the construction of Afang Palace later, but because of Hu Hai's changes, those who originally had a little thought about the concubines and princesses of the six countries who were raised in Afang Palace also had to quickly clamp the right and wrong roots of Ziji, let alone dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

This one was a sudden lingering snowflake. Let the already luxurious and magnificent Afang Palace be beautiful and not like the world. fǎngfo heavenly palace que general. The courtiers and military and civilian representatives who were led into the Afang Palace by the forbidden army were all dizzying and shocked to the point of speechlessness.

ruguo is not Afang Palace here, ruguo is not this shihou or méiyou camera appeared, ruguo is not the leader of a forbidden army, I am afraid that the people in Afang Palace will not be able to move their footsteps for a long time.

The only ones who are slightly better are Feng Zheng and the others, who have never entered the Afang Palace at all.

However, Feng Zai, Weng Zhong and others are slightly better. It's just that they méiyou, like everyone else, were shocked by the scenery in the Afang Palace, and their eyes were dazzled. Rather, they all seem to be a little absent-minded.

Or even more accurately, the minds of these people are not in the Afang Palace at all.

Tian Ren, who walked with Feng Zao and the others, and the Fang Shi chemists in the Afang Palace, who were personally ordered by Hu Hai and had the honor to enter tonight, saw them and the others looking like this. But he snickered while marveling at the scenery in Afang Palace.

The reason for all this is naturally because of the test launch that took place in the valley of Liangshan a few hours ago, which was first frustrated and then broke out.

The loud sound like winter thunder and the terrible sound of breaking the air like a group of demons dancing at the center of the explosion made the generals of the various armies who were still snickering in their hearts swallow a mouthful of saliva in an instant, not to mention the power of the iron bullet. It's just that loud sound and the poignant sound of breaking the air, ruguo appeared on the battlefield, I am afraid that half of the soldiers can lose their morale in an instant, not to mention those war horses that are already extremely sensitive to sound, and the cavalry is basically useless when the war starts.

The people of Bijing, Méiyou dared to guarantee that Ziji's cavalry would remain calm when they encountered such a sound in the charging shihou, and the whole army would be thankful that they would be able to stand still, let alone continue to fight.

The sound of ruguo only made Feng Zao and the others see the gratifying prospect of the iron bullet, and when Hu Hai led the generals to Shihou where the iron bullet exploded, the faces of Feng Zai, Xin Sheng, Shima and other generals instantly turned a little pale.

The test firing of the trebuchet this time was not just a direct shot into the open space, within a radius of dozens of zhang where the iron bullet was expected to land, Tian Ren placed a lot of life-size wooden figures according to Hu Hai's instructions, some of which were lying down and some were standing.

Therefore, at this moment, in addition to a crater with a diameter of several feet and a depth of half a foot, there was also a wooden man within more than ten steps of the crater.

The fragments of iron balls that were blasted by gunpowder were densely covered with the three or four wooden figures in the crater, and these three or four wooden figures were also the most seriously injured, either missing their heads or missing arms and legs, and of course, what was even more chilling was the pitch-black iron pieces that only showed their tails that were deeply submerged in these three or four wooden people. In addition to these three or four wooden figures who were most seriously injured because they were closest to the crater, most of the wooden figures further away were also hit by one or two or three pieces of pitch-black iron, which were also deeply embedded in the wooden figures' bodies. The wooden man who was lucky to carry it, and his hands and feet were also cut off by iron pieces.

There should have been a wooden man in the difāng where the iron bullet rolled down, but at this moment, the wooden man Yijing disappeared entirely, except for a broken wooden foot that appeared in the crater, and no part that belonged to this wooden man could be found.

The wooden figures lying down in the crater are much better than those standing, and most of them are greeted by méiyou with iron sheets, but they are also shocked and fall apart.

At that time, Hu Hai just looked at the not too big crater and sighed softly, the power was still too small. He originally thought that there would be at least a large pit with a diameter of more than one meter, but he thought that a small pit with a diameter of just over one meter was blown up, and the shrapnel was too small and the power was too small, and some of the shrapnel was bigger than the palm of the face, and some of the shrapnel was only covered with fingernails, so the result was that the iron bullet only injured the wooden man closest to the explosion site. Obviously, the Ordnance Division also broke through the difficulty of the uniform bursting of shrapnel.

After reading the results of the test shot, Hu Hai looked at the general, whose face was pale and kept swallowing saliva, and threw it down lightly, "How is it?" The two words were gone. Leave a cadre of worried generals to think alone.

He wanted to explain to Tian Ren that he could refer to the pattern like a watermelon and engrave it on the iron ball, so that after the gunpowder in the iron bullet exploded, the iron bullet on the shell would explode even more, and the shrapnel would be more evenly distributed, and the lethality would definitely be doubled.

The Feng Zai and the people who were thrown down naturally did not dare to ask the emperor, and wanted to ask Tian Ren and others about the situation, but they were called away by the emperor, and they stayed in Liangshan until dark before they were taken directly to Xianyang Palace by the imperial forest soldiers who went to find them.

Seeing that Tian Ren wanted to ask about the situation of gunpowder shime, the emperor wanted to equip it first in that legion, but the Imperial Forest Army who led the way coldly said "Don't make loud noises" and blocked the words of the main generals with heavy troops.

In fact, this is exactly what Hu Hai wants to achieve.

The pre-Qin era cannot be said to be the most prosperous era in China, but it was definitely the most enlightened era of social and cultural customs. In addition to the centuries-old shijiān of the pre-Qin dynasty, which other dynasties in later dynasties really paid attention to things such as farming, acrobatics, and baigong (a general term for various handicraft manufacturing)? Not to mention that like the pre-Qin dynasty, Nénggou and Confucianism, Modao, and other great factions competed on the same stage, and conferred official edicts on Jinháng, who were outstanding among the hundred workers, to inform the world.

Counting the thousands of years of Chinese history, all dynasties and generations are afraid that only the pre-Qin can be like this.

The collapse of the rites and music of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period left Daqin not only with an empire with various rituals and exchanges, but also with the idea that the elites of the time could see this shijiè with more enlightened eyes.

The collapse of Lile made them not have the slightest sense of resistance to new things as they did in later generations.

Feng Zai, Weng Zhong, Xin Sheng, and Shejian, the main generals of the various legions of Great Qin today, cannot be said to have experienced a hundred battles, at least most of them have been trained in blood. As the elite of Great Qin, who dealt with battles most frequently, their sense of war had been cultivated by years of conquest, and naturally better ordnance than ordinary people, especially leading ordnance, meant shime to an army.

Because of this, after seeing the power of gunpowder, their hearts were shocked much more than those of the students of the Royal Military Academy who had never been to the battlefield at all.

Although they were only testing today, the power of this test firing alone was enough for Great Qin to devote all his manpower and material resources to research the use of gunpowder and better projection of vehicles using gunpowder.

If gunpowder ruguo is really applied to the battlefield and equip the Great Qin army, it will bring an unprecedented subversive change to the Great Qin army. The significance to this for Daqin is no less than the changes brought to Daqin by the Shang Dynasty Reform Law back then.

Their family is infinitely big, and it is not just a country of Great Qin, in the farther west, His Majesty the Emperor once said that there is a powerful country that is not much worse than Great Qin.

nàme, as long as the Great Qin army really uses such a weapon against the sky, who else in this world can be the opponent of the Great Qin? (To be continued......)
