Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the video on the canopy, and his expression was very flat.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in his Ming Dynasty, and he used this kind of gunpowder when he attacked the previous dynasty, and he also used it in large quantities when he fought the world with Zhang Shicheng.

Unlike the previous dynasty, which simply used gunpowder, his army had already made artillery and other utensils to use gunpowder.

These things are simply siege weapons, and they have played an indelible role in his attack on the world.

Moreover, these siege weapons used less gunpowder and were more powerful than the methods used before.

When he saw the addition of sugar to the gunpowder, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned.

White sugar has always been a relatively expensive thing, except for the nobles and nobles who can often use it, the common people can rarely eat it, and more is used maltose.

It is expensive, not only because of the scarcity of white sugar production, but also because the origin of white sugar is in the rugged south, and the cost of transportation is quite high.

However, since it was said in the canopy that it could increase the power of gunpowder, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and asked people to test it.

It didn't take long for someone to send a message that the power of gunpowder had really increased a lot.

Seeing this result, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to let those places where sugarcane can be grown to produce more sugar.

And also issued an order to strictly control sugar, which, in his opinion, will be given priority to the supply of military supplies.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the army in the future would not lack gunpowder with sugar, and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty would not be afraid.

……

Zhu Di looked at the gunpowder with white sugar in his hand and laughed, this was simply dozing off and sending a pillow.

Looking at the gunpowder in his hand, Zhu Di felt that the probability of success in this northern expedition to Mobei would be greatly increased.

However, if this kind of gunpowder wants to be used in large quantities by the Shenji Battalion, I am afraid that the cost of gunpowder will also increase greatly.

Zhu Di frowned, white sugar is very expensive, if it is used to make gunpowder, I am afraid that the white sugar on the market is not practical enough.

He thought about it for a while and gave an order to let the secretary of Jiaozhi, who had only been in town for a short time, go to plant sugar cane.

Zhu Di believed that with the sugar cane produced here, there would be no shortage of sugar for his gunpowder production.

Moreover, if such a task is given to the Jiaozhi Political Division, the people below can also rely on these to live a good life, and the people of the Jiaozhi Political Division are only afraid that they will have no objection.

……

Zhu Houzhao was very excited when he saw the information on the canopy.

It was from the moment he was preparing to become the general of the town that he had been manufacturing ordnance.

At this time, the gunpowder had long been exerted to the extreme by the craftsmen, and there was no way to increase the power.

However, he didn't expect that a simple video on the canopy would reveal to him information on how to increase the power of gunpowder.

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly ordered someone to test, and he was very eager to know the results.

If the effect is really as stated in the canopy, Zhu Houzhao will make a large number of this gunpowder and use it to attack the current Jiannu.

It didn't take long for the great eunuch Zhang Yong to come to him, holding the prepared gunpowder in his hand.

Seeing the made explosives, Zhu Houzhao came to the open space of the leopard room, wanting to ignite the cannon made from that gunpowder here.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao remembered the kindergarten children next door, and he felt that at this moment, the kindergarten children needed to participate.

Not only does it give them a new toy, but it also trains their guts.

After a while, the kindergarten children came to her and watched the explosion of gunpowder with him noisily.

Following Zhu Houzhao's order, Daniel Zhang began to light a cannon battle made of gunpowder with white sugar.

I only heard a 'bang' sound, and the artillery exploded, and the children who were making noise were frightened to cry by this sudden sound.

Zhu Hou looked at the artillery battle that became more powerful, and he was very happy.

Zhu Houzhao has always attached great importance to firearms, and he also believes that this kind of thing will change the way of war in the future.

Unexpectedly, this Tianmu video confirmed his conjecture.

Then he heard the cries of the children around him, Zhu Houzhao laughed, he felt that these children needed to exercise more, or how to use firearms on the battlefield when they grew up?

……

Zhu Youzhen saw the information on the canopy, held the brush in his hand tightly, and quickly wrote the information that could not be filled in on the paper, which was a habit he had developed for a long time.

Since the first time I got useful information from the canopy and solved real problems.

The canopy has always been the object of his study, and every time he will copy homework on the canopy to solve the problems he encounters.

He found the introduction of gunpowder very useful.

If this gunpowder is really as said in the canopy, then Yuan Chonghuan's five-year plan will be greatly shortened.

After copying all the useful information, he summoned Xu Guangqi again and entrusted him with the task of making this gunpowder.

Since Zhu Youzhen saw the corn on the canopy, Xu Guangqi contributed the seeds of the corn, and Zhu Youzhen is now relying on him more and more.

After all, in the entire Ming Dynasty, there are too few officials like Xu Guangqi who understand technology.

After Xu Guangqi took over the task, he thought about it for a while and handed over the task to Song Yingxing.

In Xu Guangqi's view, Song Yingxing is very suitable for accepting this task.

Although this gunpowder has long been mature in the Ming Dynasty, its power is still too weak, and the technology required to make the firearm is too superb, and the cost is also very large.

If it is true that it is possible to add sugar to gunpowder to increase its power now, as it is said in the canopy, then there will be a new direction for the transformation of firearms in the future.

When Song Yingxing saw the new task, he just nodded to Xu Guangqi and began to gather the craftsmen to make it.

If the gunpowder adds sugar to increase its power, as stated in the canopy, then he will develop a firearm that is more suitable for this power.

It didn't take long for the craftsmen to add sugar to the gunpowder, and it was even more simple to make a cannonball.

Later, Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing and the craftsmen who made gunpowder tested this gunpowder together and saw the power of this gunpowder.

Sure enough, as said on the canopy, the effect has increased.

Seeing this result, Song Yingxing discussed with the craftsmen how to improve the firearms, so that the current firearms can adapt to this powerful gunpowder.

When Xu Guangqi saw this result, he came to the palace again and told Zhu Youzhen the result.

Zhu Youzhen was very happy when he heard the result of Xu Guangqi's words, he felt that this was another salvation for Daming to step into the abyss.

Since such gunpowder can increase the power so much, then the Ming Dynasty should make more production, so that Yuan Chonghuan can implement the five-year plan with more confidence.

Then Zhu Youjian made a decree to make the military department I wanted, and to make more of this gunpowder.
