"artillery?"

Li Rong was a little lost when he heard this and was unbelievable.

Amplify the gunpowder gun and turn it into a heavy cannon?

In a trance, he seemed to see some rumbling artillery army, making a crunching sound, moving on the earth.

They are like some prehistoric giant beasts, unstoppable. Wherever they pass, cannons rumbling, mountains and rivers collapse, and the city is shrouded in smoke.

The range of cannons is hundreds of feet away, which is far more than several times the range of any old weapon.

The troops equipped with swords, weapons, bows and arrows were beaten to pieces by the artillery army and could not form a formation.

"Has it been made?"

Li Rong came to his senses and asked quickly.

"Not yet!"

Chu Tianxiu shook his head and said, "The manufacturing technology of cannons is extremely difficult and is much more difficult than gunpowder guns. He is still making models of cannons, but samples have not been made yet.

However, in the latest one or two months, the cannon should be able to make samples. At that time, the son-in-law will ask his father-in-law to see the power of the cannon."

Bronze cannons are relatively easy to build, and they are sufficiently made with the current alchemy level of Dachu.

The real difficulty is the steel cannon, which is not dense enough and is easy to explode.

This requires a lot of capital investment and creates a heavy hammer.

"good!"

Li Rong nodded.

I felt a little inexplicably melancholy.

The emergence of new weapons means that the Great Chu God of War, like him, has begun to fall behind.

Old experience may no longer be able to adapt to new wars.

Even a famous general of a generation will be confused and at a loss when he suddenly encounters a gunpowder gun. Not to mention other generals, he is like this.

The only thing that is gratifying is that the new weapon was first invented by his son-in-law Xiaohunhou.

He had the opportunity to get these weapons first and researched their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

When the cannon is built, he will definitely see how powerful it is.

Study how this new weapon is used for war.

...

These days, Prince Xiang Tiange has been so excited that he is ecstatic.

Xiaohunhou defeated the Grand Marshal Li Rong on the military military university field, which means that Xiaohunhou and the East Palace Shaofuzhuang underestimated the enemy Zhuang and completely won the bet.

That day, on the military and military university campus, the young master of the East Palace blushed with shame. After betting, he accepted Xiaohunhou as his teacher on the spot.

The statement that Xiao Hunhou's force can conquer everything is extremely correct!

Those Confucian books, probably benevolence, righteousness and morality, are of no use. If you can't beat them, who can hear you talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?

The teachers of the Donggong were slapped in the face by Xiao Hunhou and turned around. This is the best proof.

Therefore, learning martial arts first is the right way.

As the prince, he finally no longer has to be bound by the teachers of the East Palace, and can practice martial arts such as bow, horse, riding and shooting without restraint.

Moreover, Emperor Xiang Yanran and more than a dozen teachers in the East Palace were all staying up late to read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", studying the secrets of military tactics, trying to figure out how Xiaohunhou could defeat the Great Chu God overnight.

Without ten days or half a month, they couldn't understand anything.

No one cared about him for a while.

The prince Xiang Tiange was out of control and did not stay in the East Palace, so he came to play with Shen Wanbao.

Seeing his happy appearance, Shen Wanbao rolled his eyes and said, "It's just that he can learn how to ride a horse, bow and arrow. Are you so happy?"

"Of course I'm happy. I can finally practice archery, horse riding and shooting! In the future, I will imitate Emperor Taizu, stand up to the sword and fight on the battlefield, and conquer the Huns."

"In the future, I will use muskets, and everyone will hide them and release guns secretly. Who is still riding a horse? Are you a target when sitting on a horse?...What is the use of riding a archer and shooting that you learned?"

Chen Wanbao curled his lips.

"Well……?"

Prince Xiang Tiange couldn't help but be stunned.

yes!

It is estimated that the army of Da Chu will be converted into gunpowder gun troops in the future.

The war horse is too big and can easily be shot and killed, and it is very likely that there will be no war horse.

He could no longer ride a war horse and shoot arrows.

He held a musket in his hand and looked stupid. Even if he fired and fired, he had no courage and might.

Then why is he happy?!

When Xiang Tiange thought of this, he immediately pulled his head down and felt extremely troubled.

What should I do? He will not be able to ride a tall horse, holding a sword and a gun, and fight against the King of the Huns in one go like Emperor Taizu. He is so majestic.

Chen Wanbao also has his own troubles.

But what he was worried about was not just the little thing about Xiang Tiange.

What he was worried about was that there were no new money-making projects!

Gunpowder gun!

Military products are very profitable at first glance.

But this has nothing to do with his Shen family.

No matter how many gunpowder guns the Da Chu army needed, they all went into Xiao Hunhou's pocket.

Xiao Hunhou, the Pixiu, would definitely not spit out such a big fat meat from his mouth. The boss would not give me some soup to drink when eating meat.

He is almost dying of poverty.

"God, give me some good projects that can make money!"

Chen Wanbao lamented.

In less than a few years, the throne of the most rich man in the Great Chu of Chen Mansion will be handed over to Xiaohunhou.

He, the son of the richest man in Jinling, felt very stressed.

"Let's go and go to Xiaohunhou's place to see if there are any money-making projects there. He is too busy to do it, so I can help him share the burden."

Chen Wanbao gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay! See if he has any fun things!"

Prince Xiang Tiange was idle, so he naturally went with him.

...

Pingwang Mansion.

Yu Yuan.

Chu Tianxiu had a headache.

Since he defeated Li Rong with a gunpowder gun.

A wave of gunpowder craze broke out in Jinling City. Everyone wanted to get gunpowder, or even gunpowder guns. But they didn't know the cooperation of gunpowder, and they didn't understand the technique of steelmaking.

The Pingwang Mansion was much more lively, and guests from all kinds of places came to visit and beat around the bush, wanting to buy a few gunpowder guns from him.

Of course, Chu Tianxiu knew what they were thinking, either taking it back to show off or trying to buy a few and go back to imitate.

Of course, he doesn't know how to take out this kind of magical artifact, a military-industrial weapon.

In addition to the Danyang soldiers who use it themselves, there are only the Pingwang Mansion, the Taiwei Mansion, and the imperial guards of the palace that can be bought from him.

When Li Nan's old charlatan saw that gunpowder suddenly became popular in Jinling City, he felt itchy.

He also wants to take advantage of this wave of popularity and make a fortune.

Gunpowder can make money, but it cannot be sold casually.

Of course, weapons such as gunpowder packs with lethality cannot be sold. If you accidentally kill someone, the court might come to search the house.

Li Natural thought hard, selling gunpowder products that are not lethal at all, but are extremely attractive.

Here, the old charlatan Li suddenly had an idea and came to Yuyuan excitedly and found Chu Tianxiu, saying that he had developed a new thing, which was very, very powerful.

Like a god, you can fly into the sky and into the earth!

Unrivaled in the world!

Once this thing comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation in Jinling City, and even the whole country may not necessarily cause a sensation. Those rich people will definitely cry and call their parents and rush to buy it.

In short, his invention is just that it is not good.

He just lacks some funds and partners to do this business. Although Li naturally knows how to tinker with gunpowder, he is not very good at doing business.

He came to ask Xiao Hunhou whether he would do this business together.
