"Your Highness, Your Majesty, this is just a test, and the propellant has not been used in the maximum amount." Qian Bangchen was afraid that someone would underestimate his artillery, so he quickly added: "The current maximum range is about two hundred and thirty steps.
If the barrel of the gun is thickened and the amount of propellant is increased, I think it can hit 300 steps."
Three hundred steps? It should be further, right? Zhu Yongxing secretly calculated that this sky-blasting cannon was not modified from a gasoline barrel. The barrel wall must be thicker, the barrel should be longer, and the shells are also specially processed. It is more air-tight than the grinding disc type.
The explosive package should be light...
"Three hundred steps, that's good." Li Dingguo clasped his hands lightly, his eyes flashing with light, "It can be of great use to break down strongholds, destroy enemy battle formations, and defend the city." As he said that, he turned to Zhu Yongxing and smiled slightly.
Bowing and holding his hands, he said, "I would like to thank all the officers and men on this occasion to thank His Highness Min. The fact that our army has such a sharp weapon and how many casualties it will reduce is all due to His Highness's contribution and grace."
"I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it. Your Majesty is too complimentary." Zhu Yongxing hurriedly returned the gift, showing humility.
Are they having a good time talking now? Zhu Yongxing and Li Dingguo were chatting as they went down the mountain, as if they were two old friends reminiscing about their daily lives.
"The dog is naughty and naughty. Please strictly control it and teach it more, Your Highness."
Li Siye rolled his eyes secretly, but thinking of his father's long talk and teachings last night, he continued to act respectful.
"Your Majesty is still young. If you think about it more, you will make it into a great weapon."
Young, are you older than me? Li Siye resisted the urge to curl his lips and followed step by step.
"Your Highness and Princess Zhu have been in love during times of adversity, so it is not an exaggeration to give her a title. It seems inappropriate to just reward Princess Zhu with the weapon of divine fire, right?"
"It's just a little toy, it doesn't matter. Well, speaking of status, if everything goes well next year, I plan to marry Ah Zhu and make her our main wife."
"The royal concubine?" Li Dingguo was startled, looked at Zhu Yongxing in astonishment, shook his head and said: "No, no. Your Highness appoints a foreign woman as the royal wife, the emperor, the officials of the court, and the public opinion——
Absolutely not."
"All ethnic groups are Chinese people, so how can we talk about being aliens?" Zhu Yongxing said nonchalantly: "The Tartars are divided into Manchus and Han people. Don't we have such a broad mind and treat all ethnic groups equally?"
"It's just that-" Li Dingguo still shook his head, "The title of royal concubine still needs the approval of the imperial court. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fulfill His Highness's wishes."
If Yongli was smart, he would definitely agree to it and eliminate the possibility of seizing the throne for himself. Hey, what a pity, is it decided by a woman to fight for the world? If I want to change the world, how can I rely on those pedantic scholars?
Afraid of those rumors and slander.
Traditional thinking, traditional rules, and the traditional way of fighting for hegemony should be changed. Zhu Yongxing thought so in his heart, but said: "What the King of Jin said is true. The emperor and the court still need to agree to the appointment of a concubine."
.Alas, I have to fight with sincere words, so that I can live up to Princess Zhu’s support in times of adversity.”
He is forthright and sincere, kind and unfailing, but he lacks the ruthlessness that an emperor should have. Li Dingguo made such comments about Zhu Yongxing, which made him feel relieved. He and Zhu Yongxing had similar ideas, as long as Zhu Yongxing took over
If A-Zhu reports to the court about the royal family affairs, he will most likely get approval. If we say it is a time of peace, this is definitely not possible. But times have changed. According to the scholars, rituals and music have collapsed. Princes of the opposite sex have all been sealed.
For the sake of his own throne, Yongli would probably not interfere with this matter.
Ah Zhu is true to me, and I will live up to her sincere heart. Zhu Yongxing seems to be smiling but not smiling, and his eyes are clear. Being ruthless may not be a true hero. How can you not be a husband if you have a pity for a son? You don’t understand, you really don’t understand, the final battle for hegemony in the world depends on strength.
It's not about my wife's nationality. Those conspiracies and conspiracies are as ridiculous as children's tricks in the face of tyrannical strength.
…………..
Zhu Yongxing viewed those conspiracies in this way, so he naturally put all his thoughts on how to stabilize the situation and how to develop and grow. But some people didn't think so. A small meeting to plan the conspiracy was secretly held outside Mo Nai City.
.
Zhu Yongxing would definitely be surprised if he saw who was gathered together. Siwei, Dawu, the head of the Mengshan Ke clan, Zheng Yanbei, the head of the Zheng clan, Yicheng, the chief minister, and Zheng Zhaoren from the Military Intelligence Department.
"His Royal Highness has a magical weapon to help him, so it won't be too difficult to go to Annan to establish a base." Zheng Zhaoren is the most familiar with the current situation of the army and is leaking the secrets in detail, "When Your Highness set out from Tengchong, the army numbered more than 8,000. Now.
The chieftains of Mo Nai have sent three thousand civilians to Your Highness, and are sending two thousand troops. There are also more than a thousand soldiers joining the army along the way. At this rate, it is estimated that when we reach the southern border of De'an, the number of soldiers will be nearly 20,000."
"The small country of Annan has an endless civil war, how can it resist His Highness's army." Siwei stroked his beard and smiled proudly.
The Mengshan Ke clan has bet on a big treasure now. Although many clan members were killed or injured, it is nothing compared to the profits they are about to receive. With Azhu being favored by His Highness, revitalizing the ancestral industry is close.
What is happening in front of me. When I think of this, Siwei can't suppress the joy in my heart.
"If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries." The great witch suddenly poured cold water on him and said expressionlessly: "If there are no constraints, your highness will have a lot to do."
Zheng Yanbei bowed and cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "Brother, are you worried about the emperor in Burma?"
Yi Chengcheng didn't want to speak, but when he saw the great witch's eyes turned to him, he just sighed secretly and said: "What the uncle said is absolutely true. Thunder, rain, and dew are all the grace of the king. Your Highness is now serving as a guard for the imperial court, and he has the power to supervise the country; he
Even if there is a decree, it is nothing more than an idle clan."
Zheng Yanbei nodded slightly and said: "I have thought about this too, but there is no solution. It is really frustrating."
"Clan leader." The great witch turned to Siwei and said, "Although the Mengshan Ke tribe has left Myanmar, there are always some good friends in Myanmar that they can contact, right?"
Siwei nodded and said: "Over the past few decades, I have had good relations with some Burmese people and some tribes."
"Second brother, the Zheng family's trade business also has some eyes and ears in Myanmar, right?" The great witch turned to Zheng Yanbei and asked.
"Brother, what you mean is -" Zheng Yanbei's expression changed, and a terrible thought came to his mind, is he going to assassinate Wang Shajia?
"Use money to bribe Burmese people and Burmese officials, and continue to develop Burmese eyes and ears." The great witch didn't seem to see the sudden change in Zheng Yanbei's face, and said in a low voice: "First block the contact between the court and the outside world, and then - wait for the opportunity."
Zheng Yanbei let out a breath, finally not mentioning the treasonous topic.
Next, everyone came up with suggestions to improve this temporary solution. After the discussion was completed, Zheng Zhaoren said goodbye and left, leaving only the Zheng brothers and the patriarch Siwei.
