Chapter 272

A faint cyan smoke floated in the firearm camp, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Although the generals were much better than the civil servants, they were also trembling.

How ever did they see such a terrible weapon? Not to mention that the shell broke through three trees, even the thunderous sound was enough to cause the cavalry chaos.

Luo Quan used to know from Luo Xin that the artillery was powerful, but he didn't know how big it was. Now he finally realized how powerful the artillery was.

"Emperor, the artillery is so powerful that it is a sharp weapon to kill the enemy. These 100 guns are not enough. I think I should continue to buy artillery from the king of Qi to frighten the small people." Luo Quan said.

Fijian recovered from the shock of the artillery and bowed to himself: "emperor, general Luo is right. The more powerful weapons he has, the better."

Seeing the power of the artillery with his own eyes, Xiao Wenxuan had a worry in his heart for a long time. It was a rare opportunity to open up the level of military strength with other vassal kings, and he would not miss it.

"What the two Aiqing said is reasonable. After going back, I ordered the king of Qi to continue to provide artillery for Chang'an." Xiao Wenxuan said with a smile.

The princes who came to watch looked different when they saw the power of the guns.

Thinking of the fact that the king of Qi's army is now equipped with a large number of artillery, a haze suddenly rises in their hearts. If such a strong king of Qi should ascend the throne in the future, what should they do?

Then they looked at the embarrassed prince. Suddenly, they felt relieved. Now they should be worried about the prince.

"Boom..." Xiao Wenxuan, who had deeply felt the power of the artillery, was finally satisfied. At this time, he frowned at the shells in the ammunition box. Only after a while, all the 16 shells in the ammunition box were finished.

He clearly remembered that the cannonball also needed silver, and the price of the cannonball was not cheap. One cannonball was 20 Liang silver, and the 16 cannonballs could cost more than 300 Liang silver.

Although 821 guns were purchased this time, each gun was equipped with 300 shells, which is 6000 taels. It's almost the same as guns, and this does not include gunpowder.

Thinking that the gun would cost a huge sum of money, and seeing that the gun and the fire tube were very similar, he suddenly got the idea of imitating the gun.

Xiao Ming said that the artillery technology is so amazing. He wants to see if it is true?

If it can't be imitated, it's just that it's really hard to forge guns, and the money is worth it. But if it's easy to imitate, he will beat Xiao Ming.

Because he can imitate it, it shows that the gun is no secret. Xiao Ming is deceiving and exaggerating.

After all, when he was in court at that time, he knew that Xiao Ming was not willing to hand over the artillery technology, and worried that the technology would be stolen, so he left the artillery technology in Qingzhou.

But he still wanted to monopolize gun technology.

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty have seen the power of artillery, and Xiao Wenxuan's goal has been achieved. After learning this news, I'm afraid the vassal kings of different surnames will be restless.

Back in the palace, Xiao Wenxuan immediately asked Feng Deshui to secretly ask the equipment department to be in charge of the manufacture of the torch, and then called the supervisor Fang Chengyou.

"You've seen this gun, too." Xiao Wenxuan asks Fang chengyoudao.

In recent years, only the equipment department of Chang'an has been able to produce the torch, and all this is due to Fang Chengyou's grandfather, who has kept the torch production technology for generations.

Because Fang Chengyou's father was a general supervisor, and he inherited his father's position. It can be said that his son inherited his father's position.

"Emperor, I've seen it. It's really powerful. It's several times more powerful than the torch." Fang Chengyou's heart is sour.

Fang's family has always been in favor of the torch making. Now when the artillery comes out, no one cares about his torch, so he gets angry for a while.

Moreover, when the artillery had not entered Chang'an, he often belittled the artillery on various occasions. Now that he was really knowledgeable, he was jealous.

"Well, in that case, can the equipment department imitate artillery?" Xiao Wenxuan said lightly.

Fang Chengyou's spirit was shocked when he heard the words. This was the time when he found the face of Fang's family, so he said: "emperor, this fire tube is seven or eight points similar to the artillery. The lower officer thinks that it's just the length and thickness. If the fire tube is longer and thicker, then he will increase the measurement of gunpowder. Maybe he can match the artillery."

"Is it?" Xiao Wenxuan showed an interested look, he said: "in this case, now you go back to let the equipment department imitate the artillery, I let the firearm camp send you a gun in the past, you must study it carefully."

"Yes, your majesty." Fang Chengyou is very happy.

With a wave, Xiao Wenxuan asks Fang Chengyou to step down.

Leaving the palace, Fang Chengyou goes to the equipment department. At this time, a carriage suddenly stops beside him.

"Fang Zuoji, Prince, please!" There was an old face in the carriage. This man was the prince of Donggong, Zhan Shizhao.The residence of the prince of Dayu state is called the east palace. In order to ascend to the throne in the future, the East Palace has its own official system, which is basically equivalent to a small court.

Zhao Zhongyang is the prince of the East Palace, Zhan Shi, who is in charge of the affairs of the east palace.

Fang Chengyou then looked around warily and saw that there was no one around, so he got on the carriage.

The carriage made several rounds in the streets of Chang'an, and finally stopped in front of a famous red sleeve building in Chang'an city.

"Please, the prince and the prince are waiting upstairs to serve as a supervisor." Zhao said with a smile.

It's not the first time that Fang Chengyou has been here. He drove up to the second floor and knocked on the door in front of the emperor.

After a while, the door opened. Fang Chengyou saw a pile of white bodies inside. At the same time, a blushing voice came.

"Fang Chengyou, your royal highness, thousands of years, thousands of years!"

On the bed, while playing with the three naked women, the prince said faintly, "please forgive me."

"I have met your highness." Fang Chengyou got up and bowed to Zhao Yuanliang, who was sitting at the table drinking tea.

Zhao Yuanliang seems to have been used to the scene of the prince and the young lady. He said directly: "Fang Zuoji, please sit down. A few days ago, Zhao's craftsmen had already made cannons. Thanks to Fang Zuoji, if you didn't provide the detailed production process, the craftsmen would not have been able to make cannons even if they wanted to break their heads."

"Your Highness is very kind. It's also an honor for me to do something for the king of Zhao." Fang Chengyou glanced at the spring light on the bed, and his mouth was dry.
