Chapter 398 Knighthood, Psionic Cannon
Kano Island, in the barracks of the 2nd Army of the Great Glass.
It is said to be a military camp, but it is actually more like a city.
In fact, the garrisons of the eight legions of Dali are all independent, especially the four legions on the four islands of Yuluo, and the legion is stationed in a city.
Different from the Linghuang Land, the four major legions of the four states of Linghuang still have the responsibility of guarding the frontier, while the army corps of the four islands of Yuluo is actually more like a town guard, but in fact, there are real town guards in various parts of Dali, and they have a command and envoy to govern and be responsible for maintaining law and order in various places.
Therefore, the four legions of the four states of Linghuang are basically just an ornament.
And this adjustment of the strength of the army corps is actually a good thing for the soldiers.
In the past two years, they could only watch the soldiers of the Navy Division fight in the north and south and make meritorious achievements, while they themselves could only stay in the camp and practice every day.
Of course, war is for people to die, and if they stay in the army corps, they will hardly join the war and will not experience a life-and-death crisis.
But if a warrior doesn't fight, then what face does he have to be called a warrior.
For the soldiers, they would rather die in battle in the sea than waste time in the barracks.
And as the sailors participated in more and more battles, the resources obtained by the soldiers of the major sailors far exceeded those of the army corps.
This made the soldiers of the army more greedy and more eager to join the sailors.
And as the news spread that the court was about to deploy the soldiers of the Army Corps to join the four major water divisions, the soldiers of the Second Army Corps became looking forward to it.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army was in the palace.
Wu Sheng sat in the lobby, his handsome face with a bit of melancholy.
"What are you worried about?"
A woman wearing a purple Luo skirt walked into the hall, and when she saw Wu Sheng like this, she asked softly.
The woman's skin was white, even her pupils were white, and although her face was beautiful, she looked rather strange.
That's right, she is the snow messenger, but now she is no longer the former snow messenger, but Wu Sheng's wife Chen Hongxia.
When Wu Sheng heard her voice, his melancholy expression immediately dissipated without a trace, and said with a smile: "Nothing? β
Chen Hongxia sat beside him, with a little warmth on her delicate face.
Since marrying Wu Sheng, a lot of changes have taken place in her, she has taken off her blood-red clothes and changed into the Luo skirt of a noble lady, and her originally cold and handsome face has now become much gentler.
If you don't know her past, many people may think that she is just a woman with a husband and children.
"I know what you're worried about, aren't you just worried about the adjustment of the legion in the court this time?"
Chen Hongxia smiled softly, "Actually, I don't think you need to worry too much, Your Majesty will definitely not treat you badly!" β
When Wu Sheng heard this, he chuckled, "Why, you have such confidence in Your Majesty?" β
Chen Hongxia said: "Because Your Majesty has great talents!" β
They have not had much contact with Qin Wei in recent years, except for the fact that he can participate in the court's grand court meeting every year when Wu Sheng needs to go to Kyoto to report on his work, he has hardly seen Qin Wei again.
It is precisely because of this that Wu Sheng has a feeling of not being valued.
After all, Dali has participated in a lot of wars in the past two years, but he has never participated in it, whether it is Qin Wei or the Military Aircraft Department, it seems that he has a bit of a meaning to make him a cold bench.
In fact, he was right to think so, the reason why Qin Wei and the Military Aircraft Department had not used Wu Sheng in the past two years was that he wanted to snub him.
After all, Wu Sheng is a former general, and he has a lot of prestige on the four islands of Yuluo, in case he has different intentions, it will bring a lot of trouble to the court.
"From the actions of His Majesty and the court in the past two years, it can be seen that in the future, Dali will have a big war with the Giant Spirit Dynasty in the future. In this battle, there will be a place for the husband! Chen Hongxia said proudly.
She didn't have confidence in Qin Wei, but in Wu Sheng.
In her opinion, as long as Qin Wei is not stupid, he will inevitably promote and reuse Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "You're right! β
He slowly stood up and looked at the clear sky through the doorway, "Your Majesty will use mine!" β
Suddenly, there was a burst of confidence and pride in him.
Two years of neglect have made his state of mind a lot quieter, but deep in his heart, he is still the Shenwu general who is proud of the world.
Just then, a guard walked briskly.
"Report, General Qiyu, the herald of the Military Aircraft Department is outside the door, please see you!"
Wu Sheng's eyes lit up, "Please!" β
A moment later, a dusty, battle-armored general walked in.
"Xiaguan Qi Nan meets General Wusheng!"
The herald officer of the Military Aircraft Department is only a military attache of the seventh grade, and his main responsibility is to be responsible for communicating the orders of the Military Aircraft Department.
However, they are only responsible for some unimportant orders, and if they are important orders or urgent orders, the military aircraft department will use communication magic weapons.
"I don't know what military orders there are from the Military Aircraft Department?" Wu Sheng asked.
Qi Nan said in a deep voice: "It's not a military order from the Military Aircraft Department, it's Your Majesty's holy decree, the eunuch of the celebrant is already on the way, and it is expected to arrive in three days, and I ask General Wu Sheng to prepare in advance!" β
"Holy Decree!"
This time, Wu Sheng's eyes brightened.
"Do you know the contents of the decree?"
Qi Nan was stunned for a moment, and said a little helplessly: "The general is too worthy of the lower officials!" β
Wu Sheng Khanran, he also lost his mind, so he would ask such a question.
"Thank you!"
Wu Sheng came back to his senses, thanked Qi Nan, and then arranged for the guards to prepare food and lodging for Qi Nan.
Waiting for Qi Nan to leave, Wu Sheng and Chen Hongxia immediately prepared to welcome the order.
Wu Sheng began to fast, and Chen Hongxia prepared the incense case.
Three days later, Wu Sheng bathed and changed his clothes to welcome the arrival of the holy decree.
The content of the holy decree frightened Wu Sheng, and he canonized Wu Sheng as Yingwu Bo, served as the commander of the East China Sea Division, and crowned the Dragon and Tiger General.
Serving as the commander of the East China Sea Division is nothing, this can only be regarded as a flat adjustment, and the addition of the title of General Dragon and Tiger is nothing, this is just a loose official of the military attachΓ©, not an actual official position.
However, he was named Yingwu Bo, which made Wu Sheng surprised.
Because since Qin Wei ascended the throne, he has rarely canonized honorables, and it can be said that after Qin Wei ascended the throne, except for the Zhenguo Company Tu Changkong and Muyang Marquis Lu Baifeng, there have been no honors.
And this time, Wu Sheng was actually named an earl, which is an extremely rare thing for the entire Dali.
After the surprise, Wu Sheng's loyalty to Qin Wei went further.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He bowed three times and bowed nine times to receive the holy decree.
β¦β¦
Dali Kyoto, in the study room of the Shengtian Palace.
Qin Wei sat down and looked at the folds on the desk.
The little shunzi next to him poured tea and water for him from time to time.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of meritorious services submitted by the Military Aircraft Department." The towering old father-in-law Lu came to the front and presented a copy of the fold in front of Qin Wei.
Qin Wei took it and opened it and looked at it.
Canonized honor!
Naturally, this is not prepared for Wu Sheng alone.
Indeed, Qin Wei rarely canonized Xungui in these years, because in his opinion, the class of Xungui was a big trouble for the court.
Even if Qin Wei has reduced the power and status of Dali Xungui many times, Xungui still has a lot of influence in Dali.
However, with the continuous expansion and rise of Dali, the old nobles in the past have gradually declined, and almost all of them have withdrawn from the power center of the court.
Qin Wei can't be blamed for this, only for their incompetence.
If it was before, it would be fine if Qin Wei didn't canonize the honor, but this time it really won't work.
Because of the battle of the stormy sea, the soldiers of Dali have made a lot of meritorious achievements, and it is really unreasonable if they are not rewarded.
However, in order to avoid the noble class being too powerful, Qin Wei still made a lot of changes.
The first is to increase the rank of the noble, in the past, Dali only had the third-class nobles of the duke and the marquis, but this time Qin Wei added two titles, viscount and baron, and at the same time, the fifth-class titles were subdivided into fifteen grades, that is, each class had three grades.
And the former princes and uncles have all become third-class.
For example, Situ Changkong used to be the Zhenguo Duke of Dali, but now he has become the third-class Zhenguo Duke of Dali.
In this way, Situ Changkong's title will have a chance to be promoted in the future, and it will save him from being promoted.
Secondly, the power of the nobles was restricted, and the nobles were allowed to enter the court as officials and generals, but they had to pass the assessment of the court like ordinary people.
In the past, Xungui could directly enter the army, but now Qin Wei directly restricted this article, making them the same as ordinary people.
However, in terms of Yulu, Qin Wei raised the salary of the nobles.
To put it simply, it is to reduce the privileges of the nobles and increase the privileges of the nobles.
In fact, Xungui's Yulu is nothing to Dali, Qin Wei would rather give more Yulu and limit Xungui's power.
Qin Wei looked at the fold sent by the military aircraft, thought about it, and modified it again.
Yuwen Chengdu and Bai Qi were awarded the title of third-class national prince.
Zhuge Zhengme and Tieyou Xia were named third-class marquis.
Mao Jiang was promoted to the second marquis.
Lu Zhiqing was promoted to a third-class marquis.
β¦β¦
His idea is that the previous ones who didn't have titles will be directly sealed in place this time, and those who have titles before will be promoted by one level this time.
After a slight modification, Qin Wei handed the fold to Gonggong Lu and said, "Just follow the decree above!" β
To be knighted, it naturally needs to be canonized by Qin Wei personally, whether it is a prince or a man, he needs Qin Wei's holy decree to canonize it.
Therefore, this matter needs to be done by the celebrant and the celebrant.
"Whoa!" Father-in-law Lu answered, and then retreated with the fold.
"What's else important today?" Qin Wei asked Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi immediately said: "Lord Duan is still waiting outside the door!" β
Qin Wei slapped his head, and he forgot about it.
Lord Duan is also Duan Haichao, currently he is the president of the Formation Mage Association, and he is also the fourth rank of the Ministry of Industry, although the official rank is not high, but his status in the Dali Dynasty is not low, after all, Duan Haichao is not only a strong man in the third layer of the divine conception, but also a formation mage.
As for Xiao Yicai, he had already stepped down from the Formation Association and was named the vice president of the Worship Academy by Qin Wei.
Although Xiao Yicai is good at formations, he is even better at cultivation, he is one of the top powerhouses in Dali, Qin Wei didn't want him to waste his energy on mundane affairs, so he let him go to the worship temple to retreat.
Just now, Xiao Shunzi mentioned that Duan Haichao was asking to see him outside the door, but when he was busy, he forgot about Duan Haichao.
"Let him in!"
"Whoa!"
Subsequently, Xiao Shunzi took Duan Haichao to the study.
After a salute, Duan Haichao said, "Your Majesty, we can make a psionic cannon!" β
"What?" Qin Wei was stunned, and thought that he had heard it wrong.
"Your Majesty, we can make a psionic cannon!" Duan Haichao said again.
Qin Wei stood up with a swish and said, "Really? β
It's not that he's making a fuss, it's that the psionic cannon is too important.
In the battle of the stormy sea, Dali obtained a lot of psionic cannons, there were four complete column gunboats alone, and there were hundreds of spiritual cannons removed from the sunken column gunboats.
These psionic cannons have been assigned to the four major water divisions, and only a few have been handed over to the Formation Association as research samples for the Formation Association.
To be honest, although Qin Wei very much hoped that Da Li could research a way to make a psionic cannon, he also knew that it would not be easy to make this thing.
You must know that in the entire western sea, only the Great Thistle Dynasty has the ability to make psionic cannons. Even the Sheng Lan Dynasty and the Djinn Dynasty couldn't make it.
Qin Wei didn't think that Da Li had surpassed the Sheng Lan Dynasty and the Giant Spirit Dynasty in the refining and formation industry.
So he didn't expect a lot from that.
However, now that Duan Haichao had told him that Da Li was able to make a psionic cannon, how could he not be shocked?
"It's true, Wechen has already made a sample, and after testing, the power of the sample can reach eighty percent of the power of the existing psionic cannon, and the range is the same as the existing psionic cannon." Duan Haichao said.
Qin Wei was pleasantly surprised, and laughed: "Good, good, good!" β
"Haha~~"
He burst out laughing.
With the Psionic Cannon, if they faced the Djinn Dynasty again, they wouldn't have to be beaten passively.
In the previous war in the stormy sea, more than half of Dali's dead and wounded soldiers were caused by psionic cannons.
Now Dali can also make psionic cannons, although the power is a little less, but this does not affect the effect of psionic cannons.
After the surprise, Qin Wei asked, "What about the cost?" β
"Ugh! One door costs three million silver dollars! Duan Haichao said with some embarrassment.
Three million silver dollars for one cannon!
This cost is not ordinarily high!
You must know that the cost of the warship of the Great Glass Water Division is only a few hundred thousand silver dollars.
This cannon is equivalent to ten ships!
However, Qin Wei didn't care about this, and asked, "Is it difficult to manufacture in batches?" β
"It's a bit difficult, but it just takes a little more time and effort!" Duan Haichao said.
Qin Wei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, then let's make it!" β
"I will ask the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department to fully support you, and you will make 500 psionic cannons for our dynasty in the shortest possible time!"
When Duan Haichao heard this, his eyes widened!
Five hundred!
Damn, that's not a small amount!
"Five hundred doors may take two years!"
"Two years is two years!" Qin Wei waved his hand and said, "You can make it with all your might!" β
Five hundred psionic cannons were not much at all in Qin Wei's opinion, and Qin Wei felt that it should be enough to bring ten thousand psionic cannons.
But now it's just the beginning, and he can't ask for too much, so he will make five hundred doors first.
Later, when Dali's psionic cannon manufacturing technology matures, I want to expand production.
For a dynasty, as long as a way to make it is found, then the rest of the matter is much simpler. It's nothing more than a matter of money, manpower, and material resources.
"But I'm curious how you found a way to make a spectral cannon?" Qin Wei asked.
He didn't know anything about the formation and refining, but as far as he knew, the psionic cannon involved a lot of magic formations and refining techniques that Dali didn't know, and it would be very difficult to study it thoroughly according to Dali's current level of refining and refining.
Duan Haichao explained: "Actually, the psionic cannon we made is not the same as the psionic cannon of the Great Thistle Dynasty, we did not use the magic circle of the Great Thistle Dynasty to make the psionic cannon, but the magic circle designed by Lord Xiao himself. β
Qin Wei suddenly realized that he was looking for another path.
Xiao Yicai's formation level is seriously underestimated, because his understanding of formation is very different from all the formation mages in this world.
It would not be easy for him to study the formation on the psionic cannon made by the Great Thistle Dynasty, but it would be easier for him to redesign a new psionic cannon based on the existing psionic cannon.
Now that the psionic cannon can be manufactured, the next step is to research and build a flying boat!
If only Dali could make a flying boat!
Qin Wei was full of expectations for Feizhou.
Because the flying boat can help a force to contact the restrictions of the area.
If Dali has a flying boat, then Dali's power can be delivered beyond the western seas.
However, the flying boat is much more complicated than the psionic cannon, and the two are not at the same level at all.
