After walking out of the most important treasury of the Tang Gate, Sun Ning had a happy smile on his face.

This windfall was too great, and it could be said that its importance was far greater than taking down a mere Jinguan City, and even more than destroying the entire Tang Sect.

Others may not know about the Thunderbolt and how much it will affect future battles. But Sun Ning knew too well what this meant, and if there was such an innovation and qualitative leap in weaponry, then his long-standing worries would no longer be a problem.

Don't look at Sun Ning's time in Sichuan and Shu, in front of the barbarians, he will say that he will fight back to the Central Plains, as if he is full of confidence, but in fact, he is vague in his heart after all.

On the one hand, this is due to the concern about the strength of the soldiers and horses in Sichuan and Shu and the Central Plains, not to mention the soldiers and horses elsewhere, he has seen the elite of the Liangzhou soldiers with his own eyes. With the sharpness of Guo's soldiers and horses, it is not a rabble here in Sichuan and Shu that can deal with it.

On the other hand, he was more worried that the barbarians might not really be willing to die for themselves.

If everything goes well, just like Lianke Huayang, Kuizhou and Yizhou before, these barbarians will naturally not have two hearts. But once Zhendong enters and exits the Central Plains, when facing a more powerful enemy, after suffering defeat, it is difficult to say how loyal these people can be.

However, the Han soldiers and horses in Yuzhou alone were obviously unable to deter the barbarian soldiers, so they had to find other ways to make them feel afraid.

At this point, Sun Ning has never had a proper strategy, but now everything is no longer a problem, as long as there is enough thunderbolt fire, with its lethality, it is enough to make any brute soldier frightened, and he will no longer dare to have the slightest dissent. is to enter the Central Plains, and the confidence is more sufficient.

So at this time, Sun Ning's spirit was uplifted, and he smiled more happily than ever, falling into Xiao Qian's eyes, while being happy for him, he didn't feel a little curious, so he asked privately: "Are you happy because of that thing called Thunderbolt?" Is that really that powerful? ”

Sun Ning glanced at her and said with a smile: "Haven't you just seen it?" Even the living corpse of Yanjiabao that was difficult to be injured by the sword was killed by it, isn't it enough to prove its power? ”

"That's different, you don't always say that fighting in the rivers and lakes and fighting on the battlefield are two different things. This thing is what the Tang Sect intends to use to fight with other forces in the rivers and lakes, and it can really play a key role on the battlefield? ”

"Of course!" Sun Ning nodded affirmatively, "Don't underestimate this gunpowder, its incineration and explosion power is enough to make any elite soldier lose their troops, and it can even change the trend of war, thus changing the trend of strength and weakness." ”

Xiao Qian replied half-incomprehensibly, she was really a layman about this.

However, there was one thing that could be quickly thought of, so he asked: "Then since this thing is so powerful, and it has been available for a long time, why didn't the government use it, but hid it?" ”

Sun Ning was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly: "Yes, I actually don't understand this point......

It can only be inferred from Tang Shouheng's statement that in fact, their thunderbolt fire was also developed by improving on the original firearms in the local official warehouse.

Since there are traces of firearms in southwestern places such as Sichuan and Shu, it stands to reason that firearms should be everywhere in the Central Plains, at least some of them should be preserved in various official offices and various official armies.

Pushing it down further, if the Dayue official army really had such firearms, whether it was the chaotic army that rose up, or the Guirong cavalry who relied on fast horses and scimitars to kill the Central Plains, it should not be possible to defeat so quickly with such a huge difference in weapons......

Moreover, I really never had the impression of any firearms in my memory, so what went wrong?

The more Sun Ning thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was incredible, he had only heard of what would progress in scientific and technological weapons, how could there be a reason to go backwards?

If it is a barbarian like the Braided Dynasty, it may be possible to make a decision with endless disasters because of the problem of vision, suppressing the development of science and technology in the world, but the Dayue Imperial Court ......

Wait, deliberately suppress technology, suppress the emergence of firearms?

Sun Ning's heart suddenly moved, and a bold guess had emerged.

In the case of existing firearms, it is true that only the imperial court's prohibition can make it go back, but why should the imperial court spend such a price to do it?

Normal circumstances are naturally impossible, but what if there are those in power who think that this is more beneficial to the world, or to the entire Chinese nation?

Da Yue, the emergence of this dynasty that does not exist in history is enough to explain the problem.

This bifurcation in the long river of history is obviously caused by the change of the existing history by the previous traverser, that is to say, there were many things that our ancestors did before, which naturally included letting firearms enter the stage of war earlier.

Then, after completely opening up the situation with firearms, he banned them because he was afraid that firearms, and even gunpowder, would bring great disasters to the whole nation!

This is not an impossible thing, after all, anyone who knows the humiliating history of the Chinese nation in later generations will sigh at the successive defeats in modern times, and thus feel wary of the West's use of more advanced firearms to blast open the gates of China.

And gunpowder was obviously invented by our ancestors, and then it was transmitted to the West......

Therefore, if we pinch out this gunpowder that may change the direction of the world from the source, and completely abandon firearms, will the entire history of mankind go in a completely different direction?

Without the spread of gunpowder to the West, could Westerners really make gunpowder by their own ability?

It's probably not small, but it's better than having them take what we invented and then come back to us, right?

Since we can't make good use of gunpowder, let's simply discard it and use it for no one!

Perhaps, this was the idea of the people who banned gunpowder in the first place!

It's ridiculous when you think about it, but it's the most plausible explanation.

Of course, even if all this is true, Sun Ning does not intend to obey the wishes of his predecessors, what he has to do now is to reuse the firearms, and then return to the Central Plains with this.

Seeing that Sun Ning fell silent for a long time, and the expression on his face was constantly changing, Xiao Qian waited quietly in cooperation. It wasn't until I saw that his expression became firm and calm again, that he asked, "Do you understand the root cause?" ”

"It should be some delusional people who believe that firearms will bring uncontrollable risks to the imperial court, so they deliberately banned them. However, I will not give up my food because of choking, but will make good use of these firearms......" Sun Ning said very surely.

And at this moment, Zhuge Qingyun hurriedly walked over: "Your Majesty, the people of the Yunnan Mu clan have arrived outside the city, do you want to see him?" ”

"Oh?" Sun Ning laughed with interest, "He's just in time, so let him come into the city and see him." ”
