"Governor?"

Pang Yukun showed a puzzled look in the imperial study, and this name was a bit novel.

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "In the future, our army will occupy more places. The temporary managers of these places will be the governor, and they will act as a management authority on behalf of the court."

"So that's it. In this way, the emperor is planning to hand over the full power of this matter to Ye Qingyun?"

"It is enough to deal with people like Goryeo, Ye Qingyun. The court only needs to set some rules for him, and he will decide the rest himself. In this way, he will not have to be restrained and delay handling the crisis."

Pang Yukun nodded. In fact, this is true. What they need is to set a national strategy, and the specific details are implemented by specific generals and officials. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to display their talents in person.

"I'll give Ye Qingyun a note now." Pang Yukun said.

After saying that, Pang Yukun turned around and left.

Watching Pang Yukun's figure disappear at the end of the path, Xiao Ming stretched out and prepared to go back to rest. It was really exhausting to take a boat and take a train these two days.

I never thought that when he walked out of the imperial study, he saw Chen Qi walking towards him.

"Your Majesty, please see what this is?" When Chen Qi took out something like a baby.

Seeing that the head was made of iron and the wooden handle was under it, Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this a grenade?"

"That's right, Master, this is the wooden handle grenade. After solving the problem of fire-pulling tube, this wooden handle grenade will not be difficult." Chen Qi looked relaxed.

"No, no, you all have become talents now. Even if I no longer have, I can develop weapons independently." Xiao Ming was very pleased that the talent training over the past eight years is worth it.

Chen Qi scratched his head and said, "In fact, this is still based on the information provided by the emperor. This fire-pulling tube is just a lead tube filled with broken glass. Just a light pull can rub and generate sparks. With the fire-pulling tube, it can ignite the fuse. We use a fire-pulling lead that can burn for five seconds. After five seconds, the fire-pulling lead will detonate the grenade."

Xiao Ming took the wooden grenade and looked at it repeatedly, and was very satisfied. In fact, the grenade has a long history, and the first person to invent it was China.

Grenades only appeared in Europe in the 15th century, and were mainly used for fortress defense and prisons. Until the mid-17th century, some European countries began to equip field grenades in elite troops, and called soldiers who had been specially trained to use this ammunition grenades.

The British Grenadier March was transformed into a grenadier, but the grenades of this period were large and heavy, similar to shot put.

Therefore, throwing grenades requires amazing arm strength and a brave heart, because grenadiers often have to throw grenades at the front line.

This period lasted until the 19th century, but with the development of guns and the reduction of castle offensive and defensive warfare, grenades began to be neglected. However, in World War I, due to the rise of trench warfare, grenades once again showed excellent results. The more typical grenades at that time were German wooden handle grenades.

Now Chen Qi obviously made grenades similar to this one.

"Chen Qi, this grenade appeared very soon. Now the war in the south is in the vicious cycle of trench warfare. This kind of grenade is needed. I will immediately ask the cabinet to allocate a group of people to you to establish a special grenade factory. From now on, you will produce grenades day and night to break the confrontation between the trenches in the south." Xiao Ming said excitedly.

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Qi was a little flattered. Now his research on artillery is difficult. Although he proposed a number of new artillery, due to industrial restrictions, these artillery can no longer be manufactured.

And this grenade made him regain his glory.

Give Chen Qi a look of praise, Xiao Ming continued: "I know that you are studying the problem of breech gun. Don't worry about this, it's a natural achievement."

Chen Qi looked grateful and said, "Thank you for your consolation, Chen Qi will continue to work hard."

“So good.”

After talking about the production of grenades, Xiao Ming held the wooden handle grenade and not only felt itchy, but he said: "This palace is also a spacious place, so why not try the power of this wooden handle grenade."

After saying that, the two left the imperial study room and stopped in the small square in front.

"Your Majesty, don't hurt yourself, just let the guards try it." Qian Dafu was anxious for Xiao Ming when he learned the power of the grenade.

To him, this is a bomb.

Xiao Ming ignored Qian Dafu. The protection measures for this grenade were still very comprehensive. Just a five-second delay was enough for him to avoid danger.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Ming said, unscrewing the safety cover on the grenade, throwing away the cover, and there is a pull wire underneath.

He was a little nervous when he arrived here. After all, he had never used this thing. He did have the idea of ​​setting up grenades before, but he also knew that Qingzhou's technology changed every three years, and a better and more suitable grenades would soon appear, so he gave up the grenades because he felt it was unnecessary.

Now the emergence of wooden handle grenades can allow every soldier to throw easily, which can exert its true power.

"Sheep!" Xiao Ming pulled the wire and pulled it hard. Blue smoke immediately emerged from the grenade. He could even hear the sound of the fuse burning.

Seeing this, he suddenly threw the wooden grenade out.

"Boom!" A gust of smoke and fire rose thirty meters away, and the shock wave of the grenade explosion directly flew towards the grass on the grass.

Qian Dafu was so scared that his face was pale and almost sat on the ground, while a large number of guards flocked to him due to huge movements.

"Hahaha……"

Xiao Ming and Chen Qi laughed heartlessly. There was a shallow pit in the place where the grenade exploded, which was caused by the power of the grenade explosion.

They are all very satisfied with the power of the grenade.

"It's very good. Since this is the case, production will be done as soon as possible. The war in the south now requires grenades to unlock the deadlock, and it can also reduce the casualties of soldiers." Xiao Ming pondered.

Chen Qi responded, arched his body and walked out, preparing to focus on this matter during this period.

After seeing Chen Qi off, Xiao Ming smiled.

The wooden handle grenade was born, and the thermal power plant project was launched. After countless dark nights, he was able to see the light of electricity soon.

Once electricity is available, more technological items will be born. He believes that the technology of the Great Yu Kingdom will always lead the world.
