Afanmo no longer dared to speak more, but nodded respectfully, "Like thunder, your name is known throughout the continent, but I really didn't expect that you are really so young." ”

He confessed on the spot, and the surrounding officials also returned to their previous respectful demeanor, and no longer dared to show a snicker.

"The times are different, and the means of war are also different, Avanti, Avanti, you are the artillery experts I invited, and the artillery army you created in the future is the backbone of the military of the Sunny Empire. Emperor Dayue said in a deep voice.

Everyone heard that Emperor Dayue was a little unhappy, and even a little angry, she finally invited the Avanti brothers, who wanted to balance Qi Tian, and she was intimidated when she heard the name of "Qi Tian"...

Avanti and Avan Mo stood silently aside, although they knew that the Great Moon Emperor had turned them against Qi Tian, they still didn't speak.

As artillery experts of the Canghai Empire, they are also in high positions in the Canghai Imperial Court, and they have long heard of Qi Tian's great name, and they even heard of it.

Qi Tian not only supported the Xia family in Yunhai City to become the richest man in the mainland, but also defeated the lion army twice, and even the current imperial throne of the Great Moon Emperor was robbed to her by Qi Tian.

As long as anyone with a little IQ knows that the real ruler of the Sunny Empire is not the Great Moon Emperor, but Qi Tian.

Offending Qi Tian is more terrible than offending the Great Moon Emperor...

Of course, there is another sentence that everyone understands in their hearts but dare not say, that is, since Qi Tian can give her the imperial throne, she can naturally come back at any time.

The golden curtain on the face of the Great Moon Emperor was towards the Avanti brothers, but these two people didn't dare to take a breath, so they could only turn to Qi Tian, "General, since you think your artillery is better than the Tiger Roar artillery, why don't you demonstrate it now, so let's open our eyes." ”

Qi Tian nodded, then waved his hand and said to the soldiers behind him, "According to what I taught you before, adjust the position of the artillery, and then bombard that mountain." ”

Several soldiers immediately removed the stubby cannon from the cart, along with a box of shells.

They skillfully fixed the short cannon to the ground, and then they took it overnight after Qi Tian's training.

A soldier then pulled the glass-transparent object from the side of the barrel, half-knelt on the ground, and aimed at the opposite mountain with this improvised "sight".

There was also a roulette adjustment device next to the cannon, and he turned it quickly, and the short and thick barrel slowly raised.

When the position was adjusted, the artilleryman made a gesture to the soldiers behind him.

The soldier behind him immediately pulled out a pitch-black shell with a cylindrical body and a conical warhead from the box.

The soldier held the cannonball in one hand and pulled the lever towards the tail of the barrel with the other.

"Bell. ”

The tail of the barrel was pulled apart, and then he skillfully fed the cannonball in, and quickly closed the cannon door.

"Fire!" shouted the aiming soldier.

And the soldier who fired the cannon in the back pulled a black line from the tail of the barrel and pulled it hard.

"Bang!"

A loud bang rang out.

Almost at the same time, there was a "boom", and the small mountain in the distance let out a deafening explosion.

This loud sound, like a heavenly punishment, even echoed in the mountain streams and plains for a long time.

"Whoa..."

The small mountain peak was immediately surrounded by gunsmoke, and countless huge pieces of debris rolled down from the mountain.

If you have good eyesight, you can also see pieces of wood from the red stone pavilion sandwiched in it.

And the two Avanti brothers looked at the smoke-billowing peaks in the distance in amazement, and all their previous pride and confidence seemed to be blown away by this explosion...

Although Xiaoshan Feng was still wrapped in thick smoke at the moment, they had seen too much of the bombing scene, and they immediately understood the power of this shell in their hearts.

When the smoke cleared, the originally raised peak, like a severed shoulder, sloped downward, and it was completely unrecognizable that it was once a towering peak.

All the officials looked into the distance in shock, and then looked at Qi Tian's eyes even more awe-inspiring, even more awe than they faced the Great Moon Emperor.

And Emperor Dayue himself, his body was standing upright on the sedan chair, his head did not move, his body did not move, quietly looking at the bombed mountain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Wang Shouren and Ma Dusheng's hanging hearts suddenly relaxed.

In this way, the two of them no longer have to worry about the Great Moon Emperor cutting the 150,000 guards into two pieces.

Because the Great Moon Emperor has no reason anymore.

All the expressions of the hundred officials were seen by Qi Tian, and he was very satisfied with everyone's reactions, so he turned to look at Emperor Dayue, "Your Royal Highness, I still have nine cannonballs here, I don't know where else we need to experiment?"

The Great Moon Emperor slowly turned around and looked at Qi Tian without saying a word for a long time.

Qi Tian knew that his cannon had completely shattered the Great Moon Emperor's plan to seize military power.

He looked at the two Avanti brothers, "If I'm not mistaken, the number of consecutive shots of your Tiger Roar artillery should not exceed five, right?"

Avanti was stunned and looked at Qi Tian in surprise, "What Lord Qi said is right, five shots in a row of this cannon is already the limit, and any more will explode." ”

Qi Tian nodded, "But this cannon of mine can fire fifteen pieces in a row." ”

Avanti's expression became shocked.

"Also, the explosion range of your cannonballs is only twenty abbots, while mine can reach sixty abbots, which is four times as long as yours. Qi Tian glanced at the leveled mountain peak in the distance, "You must have seen this." ”

The Avanti brothers, like a defeated attack, lowered their heads and said no more.

"Besides, if I'm not mistaken, all the artillery of the Canghai Empire relies on unified command, right? Because your artillery has no scope, all gunners can only fire under the command of one person. Qi Tian smiled, "Distance and accuracy, needless to say." Therefore, it is basically impossible for the Canghai Empire to defeat us with artillery, because their ships will be blown up and sunk by my short cannons before they can get close to us. ”

The officials, who were still a little worried just now, seemed to see the brilliant future of the empire, and they all looked happy.

Li Tongwei was not able to fight, but his words and expressions were good, and he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "The great general is wise! The great general is mighty!"

Afterwards, all the officials also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "The great general is wise! The great general is mighty!"

Qi Tian smiled slightly, and turned his head to look at the Avanti brothers, "But you are also experts in the study of artillery for many years, and it is also helpful for us to produce artillery, why don't you join the artillery corps that I am about to form as a technical advisor?"

The two Avanti brothers looked stunned, peeked at the Great Moon Emperor, and knelt on the ground, "Obey the general's orders." ”

Qi Tian turned his head to look at Emperor Dayue again, "Your Royal Highness, I don't know what artillery institutions and artillery corps you want to send out 100,000 guards now?"

Although he couldn't see the expression of the Great Moon Emperor, it must be very exciting.

All the officials also looked at Emperor Otsuki.

Long...

Emperor Dayue's voice returned to indifference: "Since the Great General has developed a more powerful artillery, I naturally don't need to reassign the Guards to form an artillery organization and an artillery corps, and leave everything to the Great General." ”

Now that even the people she invited have become Qi Tian's "little brother", does she still have anyone or reason to cut Qi Tian's military power?

Qi Tian watched the golden-robed Great Moon Emperor re-enter Wang Jiao, and knew in his heart that she was now eager to kill herself with a single sword.

I also slapped her handsome and noble face firmly today.

Next, the Great Moon Emperor drove back to the palace, and the ministers also walked towards the imperial capital.

Wang Shouren and the others came to Qi Tian's side.

Li Tongwei patted Qi Tian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, I didn't expect you to make cannons?"

Qi Tian raised his eyebrows, "I not only know how to make cannons, but also how to shoot cannons." ”

"Hahaha," a few people laughed.

-------

After Emperor Otsuki returned to the palace, he threw all the cups and jars on the table in front of him to the ground.

Fluttershy and Fluttershy are too scared to speak.

"Fluttershy!" the Great Moon Emperor snapped.

"Your Royal Highness. Fluttershy immediately kneels in front of her.

"I asked you to investigate Qi Tian's situation, but you didn't even know that he had already made cannons and cannonballs, and in vain I usually praised you for your cleverness! You are so stupid!" Emperor Dayue scolded loudly.

Fluttershy shuddered, beads of sweat streaming down her face, and she even forgot to intercede for herself.

Butterfly knelt down in front of the Emperor at this time, "Your Highness, please forgive Fluttershy this time, the cannon is so new that she doesn't know it even in front of Fluttershy." ”

"Huh?" Emperor Dayue said coldly, "So I'm wrong, shouldn't I let Fluttershy find out about Qi Tian's situation?"

"Big Butterfly doesn't dare, Big Butterfly doesn't dare. Butterfly was also trembling with fright at the moment, and kowtowed vigorously to admit her mistake.

"I have been following the widow for many years with the two of you, and each of you has gone to lead twenty court battles, if there is a next time, I will not spare it!" Emperor Dayue's tone was cold.

Fluttershy and Fluttershy feel chills running through their bodies, as if they were in an ice cellar.

"Thank you for not killing, thank you for not killing!" Butterfly said as she helped Fluttershy, who was limp and walked outside.

Although Emperor Dayue didn't kill the two of them this time, even a man like Qi Zaiqing could be stunned in the Twenty Court Battles, not to mention them, even if they didn't die, they would shed their skin.

After the two left, Emperor Dayue whispered to the door, "Ah Yan." ”

An ordinary-looking woman dressed in a red brocade robe floated down from above the Imperial Palace.

She walked quickly to the Great Moon Emperor, knelt down and arched her hand, "Your Royal Highness." ”

"Find a way to blend back into Qi Tian's side, I have to know his every move. Emperor Dayue said lightly.

"Yes. Ah Yan said respectfully.

"And. Emperor Dayue said in a deep voice: "Although you are proficient in the art of disguise and disguise, your eyes have never been able to change, and the last time you pretended to be the first king, someone found out. ”

Ah Yan looked stunned, with a look of doubt in her eyes, but she still nodded, "My subordinates understand." ”

"No matter what method you use or what you sacrifice, I must know the most timely information about Qi Tian. Emperor Dayue seemed relieved and repeated it again.

"Yes. ”

After Ah Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left the Imperial Palace.

When Emperor Dayue was the only one left, a deep sigh sounded in the hall, and then she leaned on the back of the imperial throne very weakly.

She had a feeling that although she defeated the crown prince and won the imperial throne, she also led the wolf into the room.

At this moment, the guards of the palace were controlled by Gu Zhengang, the 150,000 guards in the city were controlled by Ma Dusheng, and the financial power was in the hands of Huang Youcai, and all the most critical institutions of the imperial court were firmly controlled by Qi Tian.

Suddenly, she glanced down at her, "Do you really want to use you to contain him?"

-------

That night, Qi Tian ordered the military workshop factory in the imperial capital city and the Xiajiafang factory in Yunhai City to build "short and thick" artillery.

The raw materials used in the production of artillery and shells were also listed as contraband by the imperial court, which could only be purchased by the imperial court, and any merchants who resold them privately or sold them to other countries were to be beheaded.

The dining room of Qi Mansion in the evening.

Qi Tian, Wang Shouren, Li Tongwei, Ma Dusheng, Huang Youcai, Gu Zhengang and others, as well as Qi Wuxian and Qi Zaiqing, got together and chatted while drinking.

"Brother, let's pay attention, the female emperor is going to do something to us. Wang Shouren said as if chatting.

When the others heard this, their expressions gradually became serious, and they slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks and wine glasses, and they knew that this was time to get down to business.

Today, Emperor Dayue's intention could not be clearer, that is, to reduce the military power of Qi Tian and regain the military power of the Guards.

Qi Tian looked at the white porcelain wine glass in his hand and smiled slightly, "I already knew that she was going to deal with me, but I didn't expect her to be so anxious, she has only been on the throne for a few days, so she can't wait." ”

"The political ecology is balanced. Wang Shouren said, "But under the royal power, only you live and die." ”

Ma Dusheng and Gu Zhengang sat on the side, bowing their heads and saying nothing, they would only lead troops to fight, and they didn't understand anything about political intrigues and tricks, and they didn't want to understand them.

"According to me, my brother will directly lead the troops to kill the Great Moon Emperor, and then become the emperor himself, so that everyone can worry about it. Li Tongwei said nonchalantly.

Qi Wuxian's face immediately darkened, and he scolded: "Lord Li, if you say such a big rebellion again, this official, as the Imperial History Supervisor, will arrest you and put you in prison for slandering the emperor now!"

Everyone looked at Qi Wuxian helplessly, this stubborn and indifferent old man was very loyal to the empire.

Qi Wutearfully looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "As the people of the Sunny Empire, we are also officials, and we have the responsibility to contribute to the empire, not to subvert it, if anyone dares to say such a big rebellion, don't blame the ruthlessness of this official." ”

Everyone was silent, and turned to look at Qi Tian, only Qi Tian could suppress Qi Wuxian at the moment, after all, Qi Tian was even bigger than Qi Wuxian's official position.

"Dad, we know that we will never do anything rebellious, let alone follow in the footsteps of the prince. Qi Tian's tone changed, "But you don't want to see your youngest son and these friends killed by the emperor, do you?"
