The effect of the shelling was so shocking that half of the mountain wall poured down, which was like a city wall...... If the city wall is of course not so easy to be destroyed by a single cannon, this mountain wall is stony and loose, which was specially selected by Wang Ziteng, and Han Fei also adopted a tacit attitude, in order to present a shocking visual impact to the emperor.

The giant artillery can shell targets a mile away, which is already an unprecedented achievement, and it can also shell such an effect, even the emperor is not calm. He personally rode a horse, accompanied by Han Fei Wang Ziteng and his guards, and rushed to the mountain wall to check.

The falling rocks and the cannonballs that still had residual temperature in the middle once again formed a strong visual impact.

"Artifact! Sure enough, it's an artifact! The emperor laughed and said: "I, Dahua, have such a heavy weapon of the military state, and I should be able to dominate the world!" ”

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Dahua! The scene burst into cheers.

The emperor was in high spirits and said to Han Fei: "The new firearms have been successfully developed, and Aiqing's father and son have contributed a lot!" ”

Han Fei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the majesty of the sky, and the concerted efforts of the officials and craftsmen of the new firearms workshop are the main reasons for the smooth development of the new artillery, and the father and son of Weichen dare not take credit!" ”

"The contribution of Aiqing's father and son to Dahua will not be forgotten! Han Aiqing, how much can these new guns be minted every month? ”

"Your Majesty, at present, the production capacity of special steelmaking plants is insufficient, and in order to ensure the development needs of other new firearms, these steel-consuming guns can only be guaranteed to be cast once a month. Of course, if the production scale of special steel mills is expanded, it will be possible to increase the casting speed of new guns. ”

"Han Aiqing, if the production capacity is insufficient, we will expand another special steelmaking plant, and I hope to be able to cast a hundred of these giant cannons next year!"

"Wechen obeys!"

Han Fei pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, this giant artillery has not yet been named, Weichen asks Your Majesty to give it a name!" ”

The emperor flicked his short beard under his chin and said: "The power of this cannon, the heaven and the earth change color, let's name it 'Shenwei Cannon'!" ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for the name, the Shenwei Cannon will definitely raise my Dahua Shenwei!"

"Haha, that's a good point, Dahua has a Shenwei cannon, where does Cao Kou dare to violate my border?"

The emperor remembered that there were still a few artillery pieces that had not been test-fired, so he hurriedly ordered him to rush back to the test firing range and test-fire the tiger squat cannon and the Franco machine gun in turn.

"Han Aiqing, what kind of use is this Tiger Squat Cannon and Franc Machine suitable for?"

"Your Majesty, these two types of artillery have a shorter range than the Shenwei cannon, and are suitable for attacking targets in the city in front of the two armies or at close range." Han Fei hesitated, and then said: "The Furlong cannon can also be placed on a naval ship to build an invincible gunboat!" ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he asked urgently: "Aiqing is saying that artillery can be used on a ship?" ”

"Your Majesty, yes, the Fran cannon is flexible and can be placed on a naval warship, so that it can attack enemy warships from a long distance, and it can also attack targets on the shore, and such a warship will be invincible in the waters!"

When the emperor heard this, the look on his face became even more excited, and he said hurriedly: "Han Aiqing, what else do you need to prepare to build such a battleship?" ”

Han Fei pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, to build a gunboat, you need to make appropriate changes to the deck of the battleship, and you also need more Franco cannons, and the investment is very large, I am afraid it will be more difficult in the short term, if the imperial court has this intention, Weichen can make some preparations in advance and strive to build an invincible fleet as soon as possible!" ”

"Okay, Han Aiqing will submit a piece of paper, and I will consider it!"

"Wechen obeys!"

At this time, there was a sudden commotion, "Look, there's a fireball in the sky!" ”

The noise began to get farther away, and then more and more sergeants exclaimed, ignoring the loss of propriety.

The emperor frowned, looked in the direction of the sergeants' exclamations, and was also shocked, and couldn't help asking, "What is that?" ”

Just now, the emperor and Han Fei Wang Ziteng and others were talking about new firearms, and they didn't notice the change in the weather, and this time they looked up and found that the weather had become gloomy at some point, but in the clouds above the capital, there was a fiery red round bright spot, like a fireball hanging in the air.

Han Fei understood that this was a natural landscape formed by clouds under the action of the sun, but he couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know either, or wait and see for further changes to judge!" ”

Wang Ziteng said: "Your Majesty, today the Shenwei cannon is raising the power of Dahua, and now there is a fireball hanging over the capital, this is auspicious, indicating that my Dahua Tianwei is mighty!" ”

"Haha, Wang Aiqing's words are reasonable!"

Han Fei pouted, and he didn't say anything, Xiangrui would be auspicious, which was beneficial to creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Suddenly, the fireball in the sky changed, gradually winding towards the ends, and finally formed a dragon that seemed to be soaring through the clouds.

"Fire Dragon—"

"The fire dragon has appeared!"

Wang Ziteng knelt on the ground with emotion and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this is auspicious!" ”

At this time, although Han Fei despised Prince Teng's sycophancy, he also quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, auspicious Rui has come to the capital!" Long live Your Majesty! ”

All the guards and sergeants who were with them also knelt on the ground and shouted, "Hurrah! Hooray......"

"Haha, all the ministers are flat!" The emperor was so excited that he looked up to the sky and smiled.

After the prince got up, he said: "Your Majesty is wise, the appearance of the fire dragon in the capital indicates that I am a great and prosperous balance ......."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Before Wang Ziteng's words were finished, a eunuch flew to the front to report: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor reports, Concubine De is about to give birth!" ”

Is Concubine De about to give birth? The monarchs and ministers present couldn't help but look at the fire dragon looming in the sky, was this a coincidence or ......

"Auspicious and now a saint is out!" Wang Ziteng excitedly shouted: "Your Majesty, Concubine De is about to give birth, the sky is in the sky, and the fire dragon is revealed, this is a good omen!" ”

The emperor looked excited, a rare red light appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but look at Han Fei.

Wang Ziteng's meaning is obvious, the fire dragon appears, indicating that the child in Concubine De's womb must be the prince, and it is also for this prince to build momentum, with Xiangrui as the background, as long as the prince is born, the prince's position will be stable. Wang Ziteng is the maternal uncle of Concubine Jia Yuanchun, and the key to this is self-evident.

Han Fei understood what he meant, neither exposed nor strengthened, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the celestial phenomena are auspicious, but what kind of meaning does it have, Weichen does not dare to speculate, the top priority is to ensure the smooth birth of Concubine De!" ”

"Yes, Han Aiqing is right!"

The emperor was secretly ashamed, he was too excited, and almost forgot that Concubine De was about to give birth, so he hurriedly turned over and said, "Han Aiqing will return to the palace immediately with me!" ”

"Wechen obeys!" Han Fei quickly gave a few words to a guard, then got on his horse and followed behind the emperor, galloping towards the capital.
