Chapter 1384 The terrifying power of Yuanyou Shenwei Cannon
Chapter 1384
However, after having a long time of fun, Su Dongpo thought of something more important. "Your Majesty, but now is not the time for us to celebrate the victory ceremony. I am afraid that the ministers and workers in the court will have trouble again..."
"What can happen if you have trouble?" Wang Yang curled his lips and said disapprovingly. "Su Xiang doesn't have to worry too much. After all, this is my great Song Dynasty's family's gratitude for my great Song Dynasty. In order to show their allegiance to me, I specially contributed the Liaodong Peninsula to my great Song Dynasty."
"I am a big song and accept it with a smile, what's wrong?"
Seeing Wang Yang standing upright and talking, Emperor Zhao Xu laughed deeply with his hands and said.
"That's right, Wang Wushan's words are reasonable. The Su Qing family should not be too worried. The Liaodong Peninsula is owned by our Song Dynasty. This is a great joy. Will those ministers still criticize the heroes? I want to see who dares to do such dirty things that make friends with relatives feel sorry for their enemies."
"Your Majesty is wise." The King of Kings quickly flattered him. "It is indeed a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty and the people who can win a wise lord like Your Majesty."
"The Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji once said: 'I have won Wang Wushan, which is better than 100,000 Tiger Ben.'. I want me to say that I can win Wang Qing, which is better than 200,000 Tiger Ben, so that I can do it appropriately..."
Seeing Wang Yang and the emperor Zhao Xu and two guys who were shameless in flattery, even though Su Dongpo and Zhang Feng were both old men who had been through the officialdom for a long time, they still made them shameless and get goosebumps all over the ground.
"Oh, it's so good to be young... isn't it?" In the end, Su Dongpo, the No. 1 map cannon in the Song Dynasty, finally resisted the complaints and used a more tactful way to describe the two young and thick-skinned skins in front of him.
"Well... who has never been young, bah, I mean, I am better than the blue." Zhang Feng felt that the first sentence that Su Dongpo said was clearly saying that no one was shameless, but in fact he was a gentleman who reads poetry and books, and he was definitely not so shameless.

"Cut two grids of leads, load..."
"The leads are cut in two grids and loading is completed!"
"Elevation angle five..."
"The angle of elevation is over!"
"Prepare to shoot! Prepare to! Put it!"
As the order was issued, an orange-red flame flashed through the muzzle of the cast iron cannon, and then the choking smoke poured out.
Soon, a continuous roar echoed in the target shooting range about one and a half miles away.
This is the No. 1 test gun field. Not far away is the No. 2 test gun field. There are still artillery of the same specifications and caliber, but the shells loaded by the artillery soldiers seem a little different at this moment.
It is not a slightly oval conical flowering bullet, but a cylindrical shell. After loading, it is followed by the commander's roar and the small flag waving.
The cannon body slightly clumsed backwards, and the same orange and thick smoke ejected from the mouth of the tube. In an instant, countless dummies wearing leather armor and a small number of iron sheets, nearly ten feet long, fell down most of them like rice fields that were ravaged by storms and rain.
Seeing this drawing, Zhao Xu and several military generals who came in contempt also put down their hands that had just blocked their ears, and their faces were full of shock.
Soon, someone walked to the shooting range and placed the scarecrows wearing leather armor and iron plates in front of the emperor.
It can be clearly seen that whether it is leather armor or the iron sheets that can be used to cast iron armor, there are completely holes that have been completely penetrated on their surface.
"If this thing hits the body, there is probably no way out." Di Yong took a cold breath and kept shaking his head, just like he suddenly became epilepsy.
Even the leather armor and iron scarecrows fifty feet away were still holes, and the iron blades were better. Some places were just sunken, but there were still many places pierced. In other words, at a distance of hundreds of feet, the power of this shotgun was still fatal.
Seeing the reactions of these big men of the Song Dynasty, Wang Daren was very satisfied. He took a heavy shotgun shell from the pile of ammunition next to him and signaled to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is the power of the shotgun. Although its range is far inferior to that of the flowering bullet and solid bullet, when fighting at close range, facing the enemy's group charge or dense formation, its lethality will become extremely terrifying. It can be said that there will be no living creature within a hundred steps."
The emperor reached out and took it, and then he noticed that the two cross-sections of the iron shot shells were somewhat different. One side was cast as a whole, while the other side was just blocked with a piece of thin wood chip.
Wang Yang used a dagger to pry the thin piece of wood, then poured it on the ground, and saw countless bullet-shaped iron balls as big as fingers rolling out from inside.
"With this thing, then the Yuanyou Divine Power Cannon can be said to be both far and near defense. It is indeed worthy of being a powerful weapon developed by Lord Wang's heart-wrenching and painstaking..." Wang Hou squatted down, picked up a projectile and weighed it in his hand. The weight was not heavy. After all, there were more than a hundred projectiles poured out of this shotgun shell.
"If an enemy attacks our Great Song City and is sieging the city, if he loads this ammunition with the Yuanyou divine cannon and shoots it down, he may be able to kill a hundred people with one shot." An old general said with a sigh.
The pictures he depicted made the Song military tycoons present deeply feel.
"My dear lords, Your Majesty, there is also a short-barrel cannon and shells, which were designed by Weichen for my Song Dynasty navy..." Wang Yang smiled and threw out another new thing.
"The Navy, can the Navy load this object on the warship and launch it to defeat the enemy?" The generals, including the emperor, said in a daze.
"Of course, after designing this Yuanyou divine cannon, I have been thinking that since it is so powerful in land warfare, then my Song Dynasty has tens of thousands of miles of sea defense from north to south."
"And my Song Dynasty's sea trade was prosperous, and countless sea merchants traveled from south to north, and I don't know how much tax I earned for my Song Dynasty. However, there is a big problem. There are too many sea merchants and many pirates."
"And the breeding of pirates can easily make the sea merchants who come and go, so the inland waters and coastal navy of our Song Dynasty faced mostly those bandits and bandits."
"Especially on the sea, those pirates were rampant, not only robbing people's wealth, but also robbing ships and driving crew members into slavery."
The maritime trade in the Song Dynasty was extremely developed, but at the same time, the Song Dynasty did not attach much importance to the construction of the navy, which also led to the large number of pirates and the rampant rage of pirates. Merchant ships could only form teams to protect themselves. It would be fine if they encountered a small group of pirates. If they met such a strong pirate, the only thing the merchant ships could do was raise their sails and run as far as they could.
