Chapter 415: Foreign merchants return and news of war(1/3)

 Even if everyone has cotton earplugs in their ears.

But the sound of the huge explosion still made my ears buzz.

It took Jia Cong a long time to reply.

"It's okay, Your Majesty, please get out of the trenches."

Wait for the dust and smoke to stop.

Dai Yuan respectfully led Emperor Tianxi and others out of the deeply dug fortifications.

Witness the power of these cannons with your own eyes.

Not only Emperor Tianxi was dumbfounded.

Even Xiong Xu, a veteran who has experienced many battlefields and experienced wars, is a little unable to recover.

He has never seen such a powerful artillery piece.

It is much more powerful than the artillery currently used by Shenji Battalion and Jingwei.

Emperor Tianxi smiled and said to He Hao, Minister of the Ministry of War: "He Qing's family ordered the Arms and Preparations Department of the Ministry of War to mass-produce Weiyuan General's artillery!"

"The mighty and invincible general cannon!"

"From the Shenji Camp to the important town of Jiubian, the various military stations and the Dachu Navy will provide rations as needed!"

Of course, it is not that simple to build such a cannon, and it consumes a huge amount of bronze.

The human, material and financial resources are astronomical.

He Hao, the Minister of War, and Song Yuan, the Minister of Hubu, looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed.

But he didn’t know how to give advice to Emperor Tianxi, who was full of generals and cannons at this time.

Suddenly.

One person jumped out of the crowd and prostrated himself on the ground.

Untimely sounds sounded in the test site at the same time!

"Your Majesty!"

"This cannon is too lethal!"

"Slaughter the creatures, and there will be peace!"

"Never produce on a large scale!"

"Otherwise, we will use swords and weapons one after another, causing harm to the people!"

Jia Cong turned around and looked.

The person who said this stupid thing was none other than Tang Xiu, Minister of Industry.

Jia She also frowned slightly.

After the morning meeting where the New Deal was announced, this idiot took a group of Yongtai's old ministers to the Prince Yiyong's Mansion.

It has long been recorded by the secret guards.

Today I came out again to gain a sense of presence in front of this important weapon of the country.

It is simply your own fault and you will not survive!

Sure enough.

Emperor Tianxi said coldly: "So, according to Tang Qing's wishes, this cannon should be destroyed on the spot?"

"Is this an act to serve the country and the people and benefit the people?"

Tang Xiu didn't know that the tendon was on the wrong line.

I just didn’t understand the hidden words of Emperor Tianxi.

He repeatedly echoed:

"What your Majesty said is true."

"Now that the world is at peace and there is no war, why do we need such a sharp weapon?"

"In order to avoid the disaster of frequent swordsmanship in the future, I beg your Majesty to destroy it..."

Emperor Tianxi was almost very angry with him.

"So, the Folan cannon and the red cannon in the Shenji Camp will also be destroyed?"

"Let the flesh and blood of thousands of soldiers face the enemy's artillery and blunderbuss?"

Tang Xiu finally understood this time.

He was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly: "Wei Chen, Wei Chen, that's not what I meant..."

"Ordinary artillery and muskets are fine, but, just this..."

Jia Cong's face was as sinking as water.

Does this stick know what he said?

Emperor Tianxi even cursed angrily: "You stupid fool!"

"No wonder you got mixed up with that idiot Tu Can!"

"It's really the same mallet!"

"The Jinyi Mansion raided Tang Xiu's family property!"

"Go to Zhenhaiwei and make a small flag to see with your own eyes the power of Western artillery!"

Emperor Tianxi had a seizure on the spot.

The general, the central commander, and the six important ministers went to the seaside to catch big fish!

Jia She and Jia Cong were secretly amused.

Emperor Tianxi was obviously angry because this idiot went to Prince Yiyong's mansion to join forces.

Otherwise, just based on a stupid statement, Emperor Tianxi would not be so cautious.

Emperor Tianxi dismissed Tang Xiu with two words.

He softened his expression.

He smiled at Dai Yuan and said, "Dai Qing's family has made great achievements in the research of artillery, and has been awarded the title of Foreign Minister of the Military Department."

"If you study well and enhance national strength, I will not hesitate to reward you!"

Dai Yuan is overjoyed.

Kowtow repeatedly to express gratitude.

After seeing the power of the Weiyuan General Cannon and the Divine Invincible General Cannon.

Emperor Tianxi drove back to the palace with Jia She and Tu Yao.

The remaining four cabinet ministers, six ministries and nine ministers also dispersed one after another.

Only Jia Cong and Xiong Xu Qi Youlu stayed.

Of course Xiong Xu wanted to persuade Qi Youlu to ask Dai Yuan for artillery.

Dai Yuan's life was dragged back from the gate of hell by Qi Youlu's wonderful hand.

Xiong Xu naturally knew this a long time ago.

Jia Cong smiled and asked: "Uncle Xiong, if you don't lead the army now, what do you want this big guy to do?"

The Jingwei under Xiong Xu’s original command.

Nowadays, Qi Youlu, the left governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, is in charge.

Xiong Xu raised his eyes and glanced at Dai Yuan, who was not far away. He couldn't explain clearly.

He only smiled vaguely and said: "Youlu's group of monkeys used to fight with me all their lives."

"Since we have such a sharp weapon, of course we must think of them first."

These artillery pieces were made by craftsmen from the Armaments Department who worked tirelessly after Dai Yuan set the blueprints.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Uncle Xiong, don't worry."

"When the artillery is produced in batches, how about I help Uncle Xiong go to Uncle He, the Xiaguan of the Ministry of War?"

From Emperor Tianxi's overt and covert conversations that day, he already knew that Xiong Xu would have a hard time leading troops in the future.

Unless there is someone whom Emperor Tianxi absolutely trusts as commander, it is almost enough to take him on an expedition.

However, Xiong Xu is too senior and has a high prestige in the military.

The trusted commander chosen by Emperor Tianxi may not be able to suppress Xiong Xu.

So it's a dilemma.

Xiong Xu was overjoyed when he heard Jia Cong promised to help him get artillery.
