The fuse sparks, makes a clanging sound, and its length is rapidly reduced.

Wang Ying stared at the cannon, her beautiful eyes flashing with a glint of Qiji.

She had great expectations for this artillery.

In order to help His Majesty achieve his grand goal of conquering the world, Wang Ying devoted himself to the development of artillery, for which he was seriously injured and his face was ruined.

Even so, Wang Ying still has no regrets.

As long as you can succeed in developing artillery, help Your Majesty.

Yesterday, when the artillery was successfully developed, Wang Ying cried with excitement.

Thundered!

The fuse burned out, and with a deafening sound of cannonball, a ball of flame flew out of the barrel of the cannon, striking a stone house two hundred and fifty feet away.

The stone house collapsed in an instant, with smoke and dust billowing and rubble everywhere.

The scene was striking.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty present were shocked by the tremendous power of the artillery.

Meng Tian, Xiang Yu, Zhang Han and other fierce generals clenched their iron fists, and they were inexplicably excited.

"This artillery is so terrifying, if it hits a person, won't it be blown up and the flesh and blood will be blurred!"

"It's too strong, in front of the artillery, even if it is the strongest cavalry Tiefu Tu of Great Qin, it is like paper paste!"

"Such a sharp weapon, it's an enemy's nightmare!"

"In the future, as long as you pull a row of artillery and bombard the city gate fiercely, you will be invincible!"

"This artillery deserves the words 'important weapon of the country'."

The generals came back to their senses and talked excitedly.

Zhao Fusu also bowed his head secretly and said: "Lu Yuan, the development of artillery, your Ministry of Industry Arms Bureau has made a great contribution!" ”

He knew that with the birth of artillery, the Great Qin's military strength would make a leap across the ages.

This will form a total suppression of other empires in Europe, Asia and Africa, such as the Mauryan Empire, the Seleucid Empire, the Macedonian Empire, the Ptolemaic Empire, the Carthaginian Empire, the Roman Empire, etc.

In the face of the Qin army, which was equipped with heavy artillery, these imperial troops could only be beaten.

With artillery, Zhao Fusu will be able to complete the task of global unification at a faster speed, so as to obtain more generous system rewards.

You can also start the journey of conquering the heavens as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, Wang Siye has made great contributions to the rapid development of artillery, and she was seriously injured because of it before!" ”

Zhao Fusu said: "The Arms Bureau of the Ministry of Industry wants to be rewarded, and Wang Siye is even more rewarded." Ask Wang Siye to come over. ”

"No." The eunuch took the order and left.

Soon, Wang Ying came to the high platform and saluted respectfully: "Minister, meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Excuse me!"

Zhao Fusu looked at Wang Ying, who was wearing a veil for the disfigurement of the artillery, and felt a little distressed, he smiled and said: "You have made a great contribution to the development of artillery this time." ”

"The biggest credit should be that Your Majesty gave me the idea of the Arms Bureau!" Wang Ying said.

She felt that if it weren't for His Majesty's guidance, she and the officials of the Arms Bureau would not have been able to develop such a sharp weapon.

Zhao Fusu said: "Wang Siye, don't be modest, you tell me and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, what are the advantages and disadvantages of this artillery, and what should we pay attention to." ”

"No!" Wang Ying took the order.

Then, she asked the officials of the Arms Bureau to take a panel and a roll of artillery design drawings, set them up on a high platform, and faced His Majesty and the ministers, and explained:

"This artillery is a heavy artillery, currently designed with bronze, pig iron and iron core copper body three materials, the weight of more than 1,000 catties.

The length of the barrel is about one zhang, it is thin in front and rough in the back, the casting process is more complicated, the overall mud mold casting method is adopted, the proportion of each part is appropriate, and the probability of exploding the chamber is low.

This artillery ammunition is heavier, and the projectile has a spherical solid bullet made of stone, iron, lead and other materials; There are also hollow explosive bombs, chain bombs, shotguns and other ammunition, and there are various forms and methods of use.

The specific type of ammunition to use is selected according to the target of the attack.

In addition, the tail of the gun is thicker, there are tail beads, and there are cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, which the gun uses as an axis to adjust the firing angle and change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder.

The gun body is also equipped with a crosshair, a light door, and the trajectory is calculated according to the parabola, and the accuracy is relatively high.

At present, the effective firing range of artillery is about 250 zhang, and the maximum firing range is 500 zhang......"

Wang Ying paused and continued:

"The advantages of heavy artillery are: high power and long range.

But its limitations are not small.

Due to the excessive weight and lack of suitable land artillery vehicles, the mobility was extremely poor and it was impossible to quickly move positions.

Therefore, in field battles, this artillery can only bombard at a fixed point before the start of the battle, and when the battle situation is reversed, it is often unable to respond in a mobile manner.

This cannon is good at siege, but it is clumsy in field battles.

In addition, the rate of reloading and firing is not high, and each time it is fired, it will seriously deviate from the original firing position.

According to the normal operating procedure, it is extremely cumbersome to go through the steps of resetting, cleaning the barrel, reloading, and setting the direction angle and elevation angle again.

This led to a slower rate of fire for heavy artillery......"

Wang Ying explained it in more detail.

Zhao Fusu heard it very clearly, but the others were in a fog.

Although they didn't understand it very well, the ministers of civil and military affairs all had a sense of unawareness.

Zhao Fusu turned his head to look at Meng Tian, Xiang Yu, Peng Yue, Zhang Han and other senior generals with bewildered expressions, and knew that they didn't understand.

This is also normal, artillery was originally a new thing that would only appear after nearly two thousand years, and now that it was born in Great Qin, they were naturally puzzled.

Zhao Fusu said: "Generals, it is normal for you to have something to understand about artillery, and I will ask the officials of the Arms Bureau to train and solve your doubts." ”

Then, Zhao Fusu looked at Wang Ying and said:

"Wang Siye, this heavy artillery is very good.

However, I hope you'll keep improving it to make it longer, more powerful, and easier to reload.

In addition, you can also consider designing a small, lightweight artillery that is easy to fight in the field, such as designing a roulette wheel on the reloading shell......"

He put forward new requirements and directions for Wang Ying and the Arms Bureau.

Zhao Fusu had both heavy artillery for siege and light artillery that could be carried by individual soldiers.

Only in this way can the firepower and combat power of the Great Qin Ruishi be maximized.

He could imagine that once the Great Qin Ruishi was equipped with light and heavy artillery on a large scale, the enemy would definitely be bombarded with crying fathers and mothers, and his ass would be urinated.

This kind of invincible crushing situation to promote global unification is exciting to think about.

"No."

Wang Ying received Zhao Fusu's guidance, and there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in her mind.

Wang Ying eased her senses, looked at Emperor Qin with burning eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, this artillery has not yet been named, please give it a name!" ”

Zhao Fusu thought for a while and said: "Let's call it the 'Great Qin's Fury' heavy artillery, in order to distinguish the model, this is the first generation to be produced, named the 'Great Qin's Fury' heavy artillery 01 type." ”

"No!" Wang Ying took the order.

She thinks the name is good and domineering.

Other ministers of civil and military affairs also kept bowing their heads and expressing their satisfaction.

Zhao Fusu looked at her and continued: "Wang Siye, you have developed the Wrath of Great Qin this time and made great contributions, what reward do you want?" ”

Wang Ying thought for a while and said:

"Your Majesty, you will transfer me from the Guozijian to the Ministry of Industry to be responsible for the research and development of various weapons.

In addition, if you have any new information or ideas in the future, please let me know as soon as possible.

Also, give me the right to transfer military talents from all over the world! ”

Zhao Fusu was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the reward Wang Ying asked for to be like this.

He added, "Nothing else?" ”

"Nope." Wang Ying shook her head.

Zhao Fusu said: "I, Yunzhi!" ”

Later, he commended other officials of the Arms Bureau who were involved in the development of heavy artillery.

Suddenly, the sound of cold machinery sounded in Zhao Fusu's ears.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: the development of a heavy artillery."

"Gain, the national fortune increases by 10%."

"obtained, the recovery rate of the national fortune will increase by 5%."

"Obtain, 10 True Qi Pills."

"Obtain, 30 pieces of Blood Bodhi."

"Obtain, 30 pieces of Da Huandan."

"Obtain, increase the Enlightenment Pill 20 pieces."

"Obtained, martial arts cheats "Four Zhao Shengong".

Note: This martial arts is one of the peerless internal skills, and the four zhao divine skills must be gifted and intelligent, and the children with outstanding understanding or the virgins with peerless qualifications can be enlightened.

If a person who has broken the child's body cultivates, he can only lighten his body and improve his qi.

Sizhao Shengong is the ultimate in internal kung fu, and when you cultivate to the fullest, you don't need to learn other martial arts moves to become a martial saint.

When you practice to the realm of Lingbo Crossing the Void, you can be invincible in the world, and you can break the world's martial arts with a single move.

What's more, after the completion of the four divine powers, until death, no matter what age you are, the speed of internal power will not slow down. ”

"Obtained, 1,000 pounds of modern peanut seeds."

"Dynasty point, 10 points."

"Gain, 5000 experience points."

When Zhao Fusu heard this, a thick smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The successful development of heavy artillery changed the mode of operation and enabled the military strength of Daqin to make progress across the era.

He is not surprised to complete this hidden quest and receive a large number of rewards.

After seeing the power of the Great Qin's Fury heavy cannon, Zhao Fusu drove back to the palace.

Soon, the news of Daqin's successful development of a powerful heavy artillery spread all over the world with the issuance of a new issue of Daqin's Xun Bao and Military Newspaper, causing a huge sensation.

Of course, that's all for later.

At nightfall, the dormitory.

Zhao Fusu sat cross-legged on the bed, and in front of him were ten quaint and exquisite small boxes, which contained ten True Qi Pills.

When the lid is opened, the cyan light is overflowing, and there is also a rich danxiang permeating.

Zhao Fusu stretched out his fingers, picked up a True Qi Pill, and put it in his mouth.

This pill melted into the mouth, turned into a stream of medicine and poured into the abdomen, and the energy exploded.

Zhao Fusu immediately activated the Great Dao Emperor, guiding the energy to run Zhou Tian and enhance his own cultivation.

……

After March, it was the end of the year.

Goose feathers and heavy snow fluttered down one after another, covering the earth, covering the layers of palaces in Xianyang Palace.

At a glance, it was covered in silver.

The four seas are returned to one hall, and a great court meeting is being held.

Zhao Fusu, who was dressed in a crown robe, wearing an imperial crown on his head, and carrying an imperial sword at his waist, sat on the dragon chair, sacred and coercive.

In the court, the ministers of civil and military affairs are lined up on both sides.

Although it was snowing heavily outside, it was freezing cold, but the four seas returned to one hall and felt cold.

A beautiful bronze beast tripod is burning with red charcoal fire, providing heat to everyone.

Zhao Fusu's eyes widened, glanced at the ministers, and said, "The right prime minister of the Wen cabinet, you first talk about this year's political achievements!" ”

"No."

Meng Yi walked out of the court, and after bowing his hand, he took out a document he was carrying with him and opened it, and said:

"Your Majesty, here are the things that the Cabinet has done this year and what it has achieved:

First of all, this year's Daqin grain harvest is five times that of previous years.

By next year, after the comprehensive popularization and planting of potatoes, wheat, corn, and other high-yield crops in the entire territory of Daqin, the grain harvest is expected to double again.

The bumper grain harvest has solved the problem of food and clothing for the people and consolidated the foundation of the Great Qin court.

Secondly, our Daqin has established more than 1,000 township schools, county schools, and county schools in 18 counties, including Sanchuan, Hedong, Nanyang, Nanjun, Jiujiang, Yanjun, Huiji, Yingchuan, Dangjun, Surabaya, Xuejun, Hanzhong, and Neishi.

In the coming year, more than 1,500 more will be added until the entire Qin realm is covered.

Third, the imperial court set up the Daqin Salt Industry General Merchant, the Daqin Paper General Merchant, the Daqin Cotton and Linen Silk General Merchant, the Daqin Grain General Merchant, the Daqin Tea General Merchant, etc., totaling more than 200 Daqin state-owned firms, and the branches of these firms will be opened all over the counties and counties of Daqin in the coming year.

The opening of these state-owned firms greatly increased the revenue of the state treasury and laid a good foundation for the development of Daqin.

Fourth, build water conservancy ......

Fifth, build a new gallop road......

Sixth, the progress of the Afang Palace project has also been greatly improved, and it is expected to be completed in a year.

Seventh, due to the popularization and popularization of high-yield grain varieties such as potatoes, high-quality wheat, corn, and sweet potatoes in the past two years, there has been a bumper grain harvest, and the people's enthusiasm for having children has been greatly enhanced.

Daqin has added nearly 850,000 new newborns this year.

Eighth, more than 15,300 cases of various civil officials, generals and other illegal incidents were handled, and more than 30,000 people were dealt with, so that the people had firmer confidence in Qin Law.

Ninth, the proportion of taxes originally levied on the people will be reduced by one-third......

Its 10th ,......"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty listened to the state work report of the right prime minister of the Wen cabinet, and their faces were full of joy.

The Great Qin Empire was thriving, and they were all very happy.

Because everything is developing for the good in the Great Qin court, the Qin Emperor has twice improved the treatment of court officials and army soldiers.

Moreover, Emperor Qin also pioneered the retirement system.

In the future, after the officials and generals of the Qin Dynasty reached a certain age and retired, they could also receive a generous monthly pension from the household department of the imperial court.

The life of the elderly has been greatly guaranteed, and the worries are saved.

Of course, they must be law-abiding, otherwise, pensions will be reduced or abolished.

Meng Yi, the right prime minister of the Wen cabinet, reported for half an hour alone before finishing the work report.

Zhao Fusu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you will make persistent efforts in the coming year!" ”

"No!" Meng Yi, Xiao He and other civil officials saluted respectfully.

Zhao Fusu's eyes looked at the side of the Wu Cabinet and said, "Meng Tian, the right prime minister of the Wu Cabinet, will report on the progress and achievements made by the Great Qin army in this year. ”

"No!"

Meng Tian walked out of the court, clenched his fists heavily, and then took out a document and opened it, and read it out:

"First of all, this year, under the leadership of His Majesty and Wang Li, the Great Qin army defeated the Xiongnu, the old enemy in the north of Great Qin, and incorporated the entire steppe into the territory of Great Qin, and set up the Dongyue Nu Capital Protectorate.

Secondly, Han Xin, the left prime minister of the military cabinet, led the army to eliminate the rebel armies from all walks of life across the country.

Third, Han Xin led a large army to quell the Lingnan Rebellion of Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo, and completely consolidated Daqin's rule over the three Lingnan counties.

Fourth, Han Xin's 50,000 elite jungle troops have already begun to bear fruit, and they will be able to go to Southeast Asia in another six months.

Fifth, the 100,000 maritime expeditionary force trained by the minister in the Huiji Institute also has a certain combat effectiveness, and in half a year at most, if there are enough warships, they can go to sea for an expedition.

Sixth, the 50,000 elite plateau cavalry corps trained by the Tianba general Xiang Yu has also formed combat effectiveness, and when the earth warms up in the spring of the next year, it can go to the Western Regions to conquer the Xiqiang tribes.

Seven ......"

Meng Tian's words fell, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all excited to talk.

The stronger the Great Qin's military strength and the wider the territory it conquered, the stronger and richer the Great Qin will be in the future.

Zhao Fusu bowed his head and said: "Not bad! ”

Then, he looked at the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and said, "Lu Yuan, what achievements have you made in the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Lu Yuan walked out of the court, and after saluting respectfully, he said;

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Industry has made the following achievements in the past year:

First, the Daqin Shipbuilding Bureau has successfully launched 40 Fu ships, and all of them have been handed over to the right prime minister of the Wu Cabinet for the training of the expeditionary navy.

In the next two years, the Daqin Shipbuilding Bureau will launch at least 120 ships.

Three treasure ships with a huge displacement have been successfully launched, and at least twelve treasure ships can be built within the time agreed by His Majesty.

Second, the Great Qin Arms Bureau has created 300 'Great Qin Fury' heavy artillery Type 01, which will be equipped on the Fu Ship and Treasure Ship.

Wang Siye led the officers of the Arms Bureau to successfully develop a light artillery piece with a total weight of no more than 80 catties.

Third, the Great Qin Weapons Bureau has developed a new type of alloy spear and long sword.

Fourth, Wang Siye is making all-out efforts to develop small firearms for individual soldiers, and initial progress has been made.

The fifth ......"

After Lu Yuan's report with a confident face, it also caused a lot of discussion among the ministers.

Zhao Fusu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good! ”

The next time is to deploy the work for the coming year......

At the end of the court meeting, the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison from the bottom of their hearts:

"Your Majesty !! Ten Thousand Years"

"Great Qin Wannian !!"

That night, Zhao Fusu feasted the courtiers in the Xianyang Palace and ate a sumptuous and delicious Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in advance.

……

Time flashed to the end of spring of the following year.

On this day,

Emperor Zhao Fusu of Great Qin led his ministers to the Taimiao Temple to hold a grand and sacred ceremony to worship the generals.

Qin Emperor Zhao Fusu, who wore an imperial crown and carried an imperial sword at his waist, walked into the Taimiao and stood in the east, facing the west.

Xiang Yu, who is as majestic as an iron tower and heroic, is standing in the south with a serious face and facing the north, that is, he is a minister to the north.

Zhao Fusu held the "Yue" representing the authority of the general, took the head of the Yue first, handed the handle to Xiang Yu, and said majestically:

"From now on, the one who goes up to the heavens will conquer the general system of the West."

This is an authorization, which explicitly grants the general of Zhengxi the power of life and death.

Then, Zhao Fusu once again held the handle of the Yue in his hand, handed the blade to Xiang Yu, and said:

"From now on, those who go down to the abyss will conquer the general system of the West."

The blade said this to the general of Zhengxi, which meant to warn the commander of the army to respect himself.

Then, Zhao Fusu explained to the general Zhengxi the principles of warfare, or the obligations of the general......

When the worship ceremony is completed.

Xiang Yu was enthusiastic and knocked on the leader's life.

Day

Xiang Yu, the new general of the expedition to the west, led 50,000 elite plateau cavalry, with a hundred light artillery pieces (named by the Qin Emperor: Great Qin Agni), and was ordered to march west.

from now on

He opened up territory for Great Qin!

Fight on the battlefield, Horse Leather Shroud!
