Young Master Zhuge stood on the deck, looking at the huge welcoming procession of Liu Bei and Zhuge Father on the shore with all the civil and military organizations, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The trip to Hefei has finally come to a successful end!

Liu Bei prepared a grand celebration banquet for Mi Zhu and his entourage, and the senior executives within Liu Bei Group basically participated. The banquet lasted until late at night.

After the banquet, the sleepy young master Zhuge was hugged into the carriage by Father Zhuge . Looking at his son's tired face, Zhuge Dad felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Daddy! I've brought you back the weapon, and we can form a Zhuge phalanx......" Young Master Zhuge lay comfortably in Daddy Zhuge and fell asleep peacefully. In his sleep, he seemed to see a new army formed with the weapons they had brought back.

Zhuge Daddy, gently smoothed his son's somewhat messy temples, his eyes were moist, and he muttered: "Yes, we can form a Zhuge phalanx!" Our own phalanx......"

In the morning, the first rays of sunlight shone into the house through the windows. Young Master Zhuge felt that he had slept a good night's sleep. The first thing I saw when I opened it was the surprised face of the girl Xiaomei.

"I'm ......" Before Young Master Zhuge could say anything, this girl rushed out of the city like a whirlwind. As he ran, he shouted, "Master! Madam! The young master is awake! The young master is awake! ”

Young Master Zhuge suddenly had a black line, "Damn!" Is it worth all the fuss that I woke up? ”

Before Young Master Zhuge could figure out what was going on, he heard a chaotic and hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Zhan'er, Zhan'er, are you awake?"

Young Master Zhuge looked up and saw that there were Zhuge Daddy, Mrs. Zhuge and Third Uncle Zhuge and the maidservants Xiaomei and Xiaoju standing at the door. All of them were full of excitement, as if they had discovered something extraordinary.

"Dad, mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you all looking like this? "Young Master Zhuge is very confused.

"Zhan'er, Zhan'er is really awake!" Mrs. Zhuge stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and hugged Young Master Zhuge into her arms, tears falling like rain.

The Zhuge brothers who were standing at the door were also excited.

What happened to the family?

It turned out that after Zhuge Father returned to Zhuge Mansion with Young Master Zhuge that day, he asked the maid to serve Young Master Zhuge and fell asleep. But I didn't expect that this guy could really sleep, and he slept for three days and three nights this night, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed. was so frightened that Mrs. Zhuge turned white, and hurried to ask for a doctor. As a result, the doctor took a pulse and said that the body was extremely weak due to excessive fatigue and unaccustomed to water and soil. But fortunately, it was said that it was no big deal, and he would wake up after a few days of rest. I prescribed a few more doses of medicine, saying that I would boil it for Zhuge Zhan to drink after he woke up.

Because of this, Zhuge Dad was complained by Mrs. Zhuge and is still staying in the small study!

After listening to the narration of the maidservants Xiaomei and Xiaoju, Young Master Zhuge sighed. I really didn't expect that I had nothing to do in Hefei, but I fell ill when I got home.

Young Master Zhuge has been recuperating from his illness for the past few days, but the house is not clean at all. I heard that Zhuge Gongzi was sick, and the people in Liu Bei's group have brought a large number of precious supplements to visit the house in the past few days. However, they were all received by Zhuge and his wife. As for the few who wanted to see Young Master Zhuge were blocked by Mrs. Zhuge on the grounds that the child was weak and needed to recuperate.

This created a comfortable and leisurely time for Young Master Zhuge . This is something that has never been done since following Daddy Zhuge out of the mountain. However, our Young Master Zhuge is obviously not a person who can be idle. Although this guy is at home these days, his brain is not idle at all.

"Wow~Wow~Wow~Wow~ Zhan'er, what are you doing here?" Zhuge Jun, the third uncle of Zhuge Jun, came to see Young Master Zhuge early in the morning, but found that this guy was fiddling with a wooden model.

"Return to the gun!" Young Master Zhuge didn't look up and continued to repair his model.

"Back to the gun? What's that? "This kind of thing that is too ahead of the times, obviously it is impossible for Third Uncle Zhuge to know the Tao.

Young Master Zhuge finally fiddled with it, nodded with satisfaction, carefully placed his masterpiece on the table, and explained to Third Uncle Zhuge that "The Huihui Cannon is a new type of siege equipment that I modified based on Cao Cao's Thunderbolt Cannon. The biggest feature of the return cannon is that it is more aggressive, has a longer range, and shoots more accurately at targets than the Thunderbolt. Moreover, I also designed a dispatch ruler that can adjust the range at any time according to the actual situation. More importantly, it is more convenient to load and unload than the Thunderbolt, which is conducive to the marching and carrying of troops. ”

The "Huihui Cannon" in the mouth of Young Master Zhuge is also known as the Western Regions Cannon, the Boulder Cannon, and the Xiangyang Cannon. It is a stone thrower, a weapon used in the offensive and defensive battles of war. This kind of stone throwing machine is just an improvement, improvement, and innovation on the basis of the ancient stone throwing machine to be more advanced and more powerful. The real inventors of the "Huihui Cannon" were Ah Lao Wading and Yi Si Ma Yin during the Yuan Dynasty. These two people were both Hui people (Islam) in the Western Regions (west of present-day Yumen Pass) at that time, so the cannon was called the Western Regions Cannon and Huihui Cannon. Because of its high firing power, it is also called a boulder cannon.

In the 13th century, during the Battle of Xiangfan in the Song, Yuan, and Yuan, which lasted for six years in Chinese history (1267-1273 AD), the Huihui cannon was first invented and used in military operations. In this famous war, the Yuan army used the "Huihui Cannon" to capture Fancheng and Xiangyang, the northern important towns of the Song army.

In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, attacked the Song Dynasty on a large scale, and was stubbornly resisted by the Song army in Xiangyang and Fancheng. The Battle of Xiangfan began in the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1268 AD), and the Yuan army besieged the city for 5 years, but it was never overcome. In the eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1271 AD), Shizu sent an envoy to Persia to transfer back the gunsmiths to the king of the sect. Ah Lao Wading and his disciple Yisima responded to the edict and galloped their families to Beijing. In November of the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1272 AD), Ah Lao Wading and Yi Si Ma Yin made a return cannon, and they were intended to test fire in front of the five gates of Dadu. This is a boulder cannon that uses 150 kilograms of projectiles and is fired with a machine, saving force and having a long range. The test firing was successful, and Shizu was very satisfied, and gave them clothes and silk, and ordered them to bring this cannon to the Xiangyang army to use it.

In the first month of the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1273 AD), the Yuan army attacked Fancheng with Huihui artillery and won in one fell swoop. Then, the Yuan army moved its artillery to Xiangyang. Based on his careful observation of the terrain, Yismain placed a huge cannon in the southeast corner of Xiangyang City. "The machine is launched, the sound shocks the heavens and the earth, and all the hits are destroyed, and they sink seven feet into the ground." As a result, a shot hit the Xiangyang Tower, "the sound is like thunder, shaking the city." The city is raging, and there are many generals who surrender to the city. The Song general Lu Wenhuan knew that he was invincible, so he accepted the city and returned to the Yuan army. The Battle of Xiangfan, which had lasted for six years, ended in a roar of returning artillery.

Then, the Yuan army used this powerful return cannon to continuously expand the results of the battle. In the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty (1274 AD), the Yuan army crossed the river, and the Song soldiers Chen were on the south bank of the Yangtze River, supporting the boat division to meet the battle. Buber, the son of Yismain, shelled it back on the north bank, and Song Zhou sank completely. In the thirteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1276 AD), the Yuan army first used artillery to Ketan Prefecture, followed by Kejing River, and expanded the results to Hunan and Guangxi. Later, the Southern Song Dynasty also ordered the border counties to imitate the return cannon, but in the end, because the defeat was decided, the war situation could not be saved. It can be said that the Huihui cannon played an important role in the process of the Great Yuan's domination of the world.
