At this moment, Bai Yutian placed his hope on Shen Yuxing.
Soon, Shen Yuxing's eyes shone, and he excitedly shouted while holding the drawing: "So that's it, your Majesty is really a great talent. This kind of weapon can probably exert huge lethality. Even ordinary people can easily kill ten people."
Several people.”
As soon as Shen Yuxing said these words, Dian Wei and Zhao Chuxue were immediately shocked. What kind of weapon could allow an ordinary person to kill more than a dozen people.
However, Shen Yuxing's words did not surprise Bai Yutian. Bai Yutian was very clear about the power of the musket. If conditions and technology were not limited, the musket could even exert even greater power.
"Shen Yuxing, can you develop this kind of weapon?" Seeing Shen Yuxing so excited, Bai Yutian couldn't help but ask.
Shen Yuxing hesitated for a moment and then said: "This is the first time I have seen this kind of thing, but if you give me enough time and enough money, I am 50% sure that I can develop it."
Although he was only 50% sure, it still made Bai Yutian energetic.
Things like muskets are very powerful. If they can be developed, they may be able to shine on the battlefields of this world.
What about the army of Shanu, what about the Five Kingdoms disrupting the Zhou Dynasty, Bai Yutian wants to prove that the Zhou Dynasty is invincible and is the strongest army.
In addition to muskets, Bai Yutian also had plans to develop artillery, but after thinking about it, Bai Yutian gave up.
Nowadays, muskets may not even be developed, so it is still too early to talk about artillery.
"Don't worry, neither money nor time is a problem. As long as you can develop it, I will reward you greatly." Bai Yutian said to Shen Yuxing.
"Your Majesty, please give this thing a name." Shen Yuxing said immediately.
Since this thing was thought up by Bai Yutian, it should be given its name by Bai Yutian.
Bai Yutian didn't hesitate and said directly: "This thing is called a musket."
"Musket, what a good name." Dianwei and others nodded and said.
After explaining everything, Bai Yutian returned to the palace under the protection of Dian Wei and Zhao Chuxue.
In addition to muskets, Bai Yutian also gave Shen Yuxing the rough theory and structure of siege engines, trebuchets and other tools, asking Shen Yuxing to quickly develop them.
Bai Yutian was well-read in his previous life. He may not be good at making things, but his theoretical knowledge is quite sufficient.
Although Shen Yuxing has never heard of these things, Shen Yuxing is smart after all, which does not prevent him from understanding these things.
Bai Yutian also ordered to increase investment in Tiangong Institute. Half of the investment from the Ministry of Industry was used in Tiangong Institute.
Once these things are developed, they will be able to play a very terrible role on the battlefield, and even reverse the situation of the war.
As soon as Bai Yutian returned to the palace, he received news that two distinguished guests were visiting.
The existences that Bai Yutian could call distinguished guests were naturally Bai Yutian's two younger brothers in Tailin City, King Bai Yushi of Guangping and King Bai Yumao of Qi.
The two were crowned princes and had been living happily away from the court. However, this time they came to the palace for some unknown reason and wanted to see Bai Yutian.
Bai Yutian did not refuse and summoned the two of them.
Bai Yutian still remembers the sudden death of the Tianlao Sanu assassin. If he is not a member of the royal family, who can have such a big background.
The three mysterious people who entered the Tianlao at the beginning completely disappeared after coming out of the Tianlao, as if they had disappeared from the world, completely cutting off the clues.
This time the two came to the palace to meet Bai Yutian, who happened to let Bai Yutian observe the two of them.
From the investigation by Yuncheng and others, Bai Yutian learned that the two of them were only greedy for pleasure and were even less courageous than Bai Yutian's predecessor, and they did not dare to get involved in the internal affairs of the palace.
"Brother Royal."
"Brother Royal."
Bai Yushi and Bai Yumao were both born to the same noble concubine of the late emperor, so they look very similar.
Bai Yushi's figure is slightly taller and thinner, while Bai Yumao's figure is a bit short and fat.
As soon as Bai Yutian arrived at the main hall, Bai Yushi and Bai Yumao ran over to salute, looking like they were trying to please him.
In my impression, the relationship between the two of them and Bai Yutian is relatively good, because the three of them have similar personalities.
However, after Bai Yutian became the emperor and took charge of all matters of life and death in the world, the relationship between the three of them naturally became somewhat distant.
It has been more than a year since we last met.
"Fourth brother, eighth brother, I didn't expect time to fly by so fast. It's already been one year in the blink of an eye." Bai Yutian said politely, and at the same time, he also observed the two of them carefully.
Bai Yushi's whole body tensed up, and his nervous expression was all written on his face.
Bai Yumao looked very dull, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked like he hadn't woken up.
But judging from their appearance, the two of them definitely don't look like the masterminds behind sending people to kill the Shanu assassins from the prison.
However, Bai Yutian knew that one should not just look at people based on their appearance, so he never let go of his guard against the two of them.
"Brother Imperial, I have the courage to come here this time to persuade Brother Imperial to negotiate peace with Shanu." Bai Yushi, the fourth child, bravely said something, but suddenly noticed that Bai Yutian's eyes had become cold, and he suddenly became nervous.
"Brother Imperial, Shan Nu is so powerful that we are invincible. It is better to negotiate a peace first. When we are strong, we can regain the lost territory and keep the green hills. We are not afraid of running out of firewood." Bai Yumao, the oldest man, also agreed at the side.
Bai Yutian glanced at the two of them and lost the smile on his face: "Shanu, we don't have enough troops to annex Great Zhou. If we negotiate peace now, Great Zhou will only be weakened again and lose the support of the people. Plus the price paid, only
It will make the Great Zhou even worse."
Even if Bai Yushi and Bai Yumao come to persuade him in person, Bai Yutian is unstoppable and must fight.
Bai Yushi and Bai Yumao looked at each other and wanted to continue persuading, but Bai Yutian ordered them to be kicked out, "Fourth and Eighth, if you just come here to say these things, then there is no need for us to continue, please go back.
"
Bai Yutian's attitude was very firm. Bai Yushi wanted to say something more and opened his mouth, but did not say anything.
Finally, the two left the palace in despair.
In the next few days, every day when he went to court, Bai Yutian would face the admonitions of hundreds of officials, asking for peace with Shanu, but Bai Yutian's response would always only be four words: never negotiate for peace.
As a result, the situation in the DPRK became more delicate. The ministers in the Gu family camp gradually united and began to disobey Bai Yutian's orders on some matters.
There were even people from the Ministry of Industry who went to Tiangongyuan to cause trouble and wanted Tiangongyuan to stop.
If Bai Yutian hadn't sent the imperial army to guard Tiangongyuan, Tiangongyuan would have been in chaos.
In addition, some generals in Shuimu Camp also had many disputes, and they were all desperately fighting for military power.
Xiao Li had just assumed the post of governor of Shuimu Camp and was not qualified enough. He wanted to take charge, but he was unable to save it.
