Jun sneered in his heart. Once interests are involved, such as flattery and compliment, these three people just said that they were the emperor and wise. When they heard that they wanted to cut off the vassal state, they immediately pretended to be idiots. The change of faces was so fast that even the young actors in Sichuan opera were still afraid of being too young.

"I don't go around with you. The Ming Dynasty has 100,000 armors, and they are all elite soldiers, tigers and wolves. The Ming Dynasty is even rich and prosperous. When you arrive at the harbor, you also saw the carriage and horses like dragons. A Ming soldier is equipped with fifty taels of silver. If not, how could the Ming Dynasty defeat the many with fewer armors and attack the crowd?" Zhu Jun began to boast. It would be useless to say it out loud. The only way is to let them know that you are very powerful, and you are strong enough to trample him to death with one foot, and you are not afraid of breaking your boots.

The three of them were secretly beating in their hearts, fifty taels of silver, no wonder it was rumored that all the Ming soldiers were equipped with muskets and stings, and steel helmets and military uniforms and leather boots. Compared to them, it was already a big deal to get a tael of silver and a good knife and a set of number clothes for the soldiers. The strongest cavalry was just a horse money, and the equipment would not exceed thirty taels of silver. What is the concept of a fifty taels of silver?

However, there are also people who disagree. Shang Zhixin doesn't believe it. No matter how much money it is, the soldiers are the fundamental ones. The new emperor puts the cart before the horse and is even complacent.

Zhu Jun continued: "The Ming Dynasty restored the Central Plains and unification of the world is a matter of time sooner or later. At that time, the world will be peaceful and the court will stop the troops and support the people. How should my dear friends deal with it? I do not want to be a good general in Liu Bang to kill meritorious officials and generals. I would rather learn from Zhao Kuangyin to release military power. I hope you can understand my efforts and make a good connection for yourself."

This sentence is more blunt, it is simply a threat of "eating fruits". Everyone knows that Liu Bang is killing the donkey. All employees who follow the boss to conquer the world are the most afraid of this kind of person. In fact, Zhu Jun's nominal ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang was the same. However, although Zhu Jun has no blood relationship with him, he always wants to avoid suspicion. Zhu Jun is unwilling to waste his quarrel with these three people, so he directly sets out two ways. One is to give you a golden rice bowl and be your rich man happily, and the other is more dangerous. The example of Han Xin and Quan Wan's death unjustly is right in front of you.

The three of them still didn't speak, each making plans. At this time, a rumbling sound suddenly came, which made the porcelain bottles in the hall tremble. The eunuch at the door of the hall was frightened and urinated. He rushed into the hall: "Your Majesty, it's not good. An explosion occurred in the valley. A huge ball of fire exploded. I can see it outside the hall."

Zhu Jun couldn't help but be shocked and could no longer care about releasing military power with a glass of wine. The valley is the most important place in Haidu. Not only does it have a college dedicated to cultivating and reserve cadres, but it is also a training base for the new army. All confidential mechanical research is also carried out in the valley. If something happens, it will be a big problem.

"Go and find out what happened!" Zhu Jun quickly ordered, and the eunuch kowtowed and left, leaving only Geng Shangzhao and the other two who were confused and unknown about what happened, and Zhu Jun who was restless and paced back after being paced back.

The palace was silent and no one spoke. Zhu Jun kept taking out a Western pocket watch to watch. The pocket watch was made of gold and jade, with exquisite and compact style. It was a copycat made by Haidu Workshop to imitate Western clocks. The pocket watch workshop specially made a gold watch and presented it to the palace.

Zhu Jun likes this kind of thing the most, so he often brings it with him.

After a moment, a figure rushed in recklessly. Zhu Jun raised his eyes and looked at it. Several great generals in front of the palace quickly stopped the man. Zhu Jun raised his eyes and looked at it. This man was not the eunuch who went to investigate the land, but the Western Advisor Minister Ames.

The Ames office is near the valley. Zhu Jun quickly asked several great generals to let Ames in and asked anxiously: "What happened?"

Arms took a few breaths and said, "His Majesty the Emperor. The new ground artillery sample has been made. According to your plan, the ground is filled with a breeze. God. The experimental ground shell weighs dozens of pounds. It is amazing."

Zhu Jun smiled with relief: "So that's it. Let's go to the valley to see it. Let Churchill try shooting again." Zhu Jun looked at Geng Jingzhong and the other two: "You can go with me too."

Before the ceremonial ceremonies and ceremonies were prepared in the palace, Zhu Jun asked someone to pull dozens of horses, and first flipped up and pulled the horses and raised their hooves. He rushed out of the palace. Geng Jingzhong and the other two quickly got on the horse and followed. Dozens of Han generals also urged the horses to chase them. There was only one Ams but he couldn't ride a horse. He had to walk out of the palace.

The loud noise from afar made Geng Jingzhong and the other two feel relieved. When they saw Zhu Jun's face was worried, they felt a little gloating. It seems that something must have happened in Haidu City that caused such a thing. What exactly made the king of a country so anxious? What was going on with that explosion? The three of them didn't know what happened. But that's fine. At least the matter of reducing the vassal state has come to an end for the time being. Let's take one step at the rest.

After entering the valley, Zhu Jun saw the little eunuch who was ordered to inquire and came over on horseback, and smiled at Zhu Jun, "Your Majesty, yes

It's a happy event!"

Zhu Jun held the horse's reins and looked depressed. This guy was too slow. You still need to say this at this time, shouting to the eunuch: "Where is the experimental site? You are leading the way in front."

The eunuch quickly turned his horse's head and acted as a guide to guide Zhu Jun and other cavalry along the road. The valley was dozens of miles in radius. Due to the different areas, there were roads connected everywhere, which were complicated. Geng Jingzhong and others were puzzled by the eyes. They didn't expect that there was such a place in Haidu City. Look at it, there were mountains and ridges around them, and only the entrances could be accessed. It was really a man who was the pass and tens of thousands of men.

When he arrived at an unfinished open space, Zhu Jun saw many black figures in the distance from a distance. After gathering the reins and slamming the horses, he got off the horse and trotted to the crowd. Where could the emperor look graceful?

"Your Majesty, it's successful, the power of the breech cannon is amazing and easy to load. This is a great work. Your Majesty... Running towards Zhu Jun, the two intersected each other, holding each other's arms, Churchill excitedly vented his inner joy. For today, Churchill was covered in scars, cut off all the contacts of relatives and friends, and devoted half of his life to this place. Now, there is finally a reward.

"Look." Zhu Jun restrained his joy, rolled up his sleeves and pulled Churchill's arm, and walked to the dark cannon. The appearance design of this cannon was determined by Zhu Jun based on recollections. Therefore, there are some prototypes of modern cannons. The barrel is extremely long and the caliber is not large. It is fired by a striker. In other words, in the future, the Ming Dynasty cannons will no longer need to load gunpowder and iron balls from the muzzle. Just load the special shells from the breeze and start the striker to fire. Not only is the power increased several times or even dozens of times, it is also more convenient and fast. There is no need to worry about the impact of the wet gunpowder in rainy weather. The range has also been greatly improved. Killing enemies a few kilometers away is no longer a dream.

"The emperor's dragon body is the most important thing. After all, this is an experiment. Please ask the emperor to watch from a distance." A supervisor of the work department came over.

"That's right." Zhu Jun was very cautious. As for the experiment, it was indeed dangerous to stand beside him, so he pulled Churchill and stood a hundred feet away. Dozens of soldiers began to carry special shells into the breeze, and then calibrated. After the preparation, an officer raised the flag and waved it down violently.

With a "boom!", Zhu Jun was prepared, but his heart was pounding, as if the earth was trembling, and his ears were filled with the roar of cannons. Not to mention Geng Jingzhong and others, they were not prepared, and were frightened by the huge shock and lying on the ground with a face as if earth-colored.

When Zhu Jun raised his eyes, he saw that smoke had risen from a gap in the distance, and the stones were blown up and thundering. The power of the stones alone was amazing enough. A hundred scattered scarecrows for experiments quickly burned for ashes, and a pile of neatly stacked stones were blown to pieces.

"So powerful?" This was Zhu Jun's first time feeling the power of the breech cannon. When he saw the earth cannon, he felt that the power of the new cannon was too terrifying. Geng Jingzhong and his men looked like earth. They had never seen such a shocking scene.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Churchill looked at Zhu Jun with wing.

"Very good, let's continue and build a breech artillery workshop in the valley immediately. You are the director and producer. What do you need to tell me?" Zhu Jun patted Churchill on the shoulder. This time he made a lot of money. Churchill did not disappoint him: "With these artillery, the day to settle in the Central Plains in the north is just around the corner, haha!"

Zhu Jun's words made Geng Jingzhong and the other two behind him sweat. The power of this cannon was so powerful. I never thought that the Ming Dynasty could make such a sharp cannon. If hundreds or thousands of cannons were placed, the Qing Dynasty would have no lead at all. I'm afraid the cavalry would have been blown to ashes before they got close. They couldn't help but feel fortunate that they surrendered now. Otherwise, if the Ming Dynasty used this cannon company to deal with them, wouldn't it be over?

What they didn't know was that the craftsmanship of this kind of artillery and shells was very fine, so hundreds of Ming craftsmen might not be able to make several doors a month. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to have hundreds or thousands of doors, it would not be possible without ten years of hard work.

Zhu Jun issued a reward in an order. In addition to expressing his continued strong support for Churchill, he also rewarded all the craftsmen involved in the casting of artillery and the officials of the Ministry of Works who supervised the Ministry of Works. There were originally many artillery craftsmen present to experiment, all of whom were smiling and couldn't help but be happy.
