 …

When this shot was fired, the shells could not be seen at all, only the crackling of the targets could be seen, and then...then the shells disappeared.

Fuck!

If this is in a dense formation, how many casualties and panic will this artillery cause?

After waiting for a while, Zhu Fang, who checked it all over, came over and reported, "Master, no damage was found."

Only bronze cannons dared to test this kind of double charge. If it was a cast iron cannon, it might have exploded under high chamber pressure just now.

Zhu Zhanji said with bright eyes: "Brother Dehua, if this artillery is equipped everywhere, I will be bright..."

"Whatever, I'm not a self-cherishing person, as long as it's good for me, Daming, these are nothing."

Fang Xing said awe-inspiringly, without any intention of taking the opportunity to show his merits, which made Zhu Zhanji secretly admire him.

The students were on vacation, Fang Xing, Xie Jin and others returned home together, and were about to go to the inner courtyard, but Xie Jin stopped him.

"Dehua, you give the students a holiday..."

Xie Jin had a look on his face that I couldn't bear to expose, and Huang Zhong was also working hard with a smile on his face.

Fang Xing said frankly: "I said that I should cherish myself, and naturally let them choose."

Xie Jin and Huang Zhong will put question marks on each other's every move when they wake up, and then analyze carefully to see what this guy wants to do.

But today, Fang Xing suddenly gave the students a holiday, and didn't explain that the matter should be kept secret. On the way, Xie Jin and Huang Zhong deconstructed his intentions.

When those students returned home and told their families about the power of the cannon, everyone who should know soon knew.

...

Zhu Gaoxu caught a cold and felt dizzy, so he planned to rest for a few days. But when he woke up and heard the news, he sent people to ask Fang Xing to enter the palace regardless of the dawn.

Fang Xing rubbed his eyes all the way to the East Palace, and heard a sneeze as soon as he entered.

"Ah cut!"

Zhu Gaoxu sneezed,

After seeing Fang Xing, he pointed his head down, took the handkerchief and wiped his nose, and then said comfortably: "I heard that Dehua built a cannon?"

Fang Xing was startled, and then said: "Exactly, it was just built, and the number is only one."

Zhu Gaochi took a sip of hot water, blinked his eyes and said, "I heard that it was made with Fang Xue's knowledge?"

Fang Xing narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Exactly..."

Zhu Gaochi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and Fang Xing responded with a smile, making Liang Zhong by the side confused.

...

"Your Majesty, I heard that Xinghe Bo has forged a weapon that is very powerful. I congratulate Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I heard that the thing is made of copper, but I don't know how much it will cost to equip it in our Ming army."

"..."

Zhu Di kept looking down, and most of the people who spoke were Wu Xun, and only a few civil servants expressed concerns about the cost and questioned the authenticity of the artillery's effect.

"Zhanji, tell me about the power of that artillery." Zhu Di called out Zhu Zhanji expressionlessly.

...

"Dehua, is it really so powerful?"

In the womb of the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi drank a bowl of decoction, then raised his forehead and asked.

Fang Xing said calmly, "Your Highness, the cannon's range is over three hundred feet, and anyone who stands in its way is invincible."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned. Although he had never studied Fang Xing's mathematics, he could still do simple arithmetic.

More than three hundred feet, it is more than enough to penetrate the distant wall from him.

In order to defend against possible attacks, when the fence was built, the distance from the attackers' bows and arrows and the time it took for the guards to rescue them after being broken into had been taken into consideration, and only then was the location of the fence determined.

"this……"

After Zhu Gaochi asked about the weight and volume of the bronze cannon, he felt relieved, and then asked about its power.

"Can you break through that wall?"

Fang Xing had some impressions of the wall in the distance, and said under Liang Zhongkuang's wink, "It's not a problem."

"That's it..."

...

"Three hundred feet."

After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he retreated to the side, leaving all the officials in a daze.

Three hundred feet?

Lu Zhen felt that his bladder was a little tight. He had learned about this last night, but there was another matter that made him worry even more.

——Fang Xue, this is something created using Fang Xue's knowledge!

Zhu Di looked at the dazed officials below, and asked, "What does the Ministry of War think of such a sharp weapon for military strategists?"

Jin Zhong came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to build a lot of them, so that they can be used by the army as soon as possible."

"Where is the British Duke?"

Zhang Fu came out of the squad and said: "This thing is a sharp weapon for my military strategist. It should be greatly promoted."

The two leaders of the Ministry of War and the military agreed with this matter, and Zhu Di turned his attention to Hu Guang.

Hu Guang took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, this thing is very useful in battle, but it's just copper..."

Before he finished speaking, Hu Guang only felt a chill in his back. He thought of the big copper mine in Jiaozhi.

Fang Xing, did you do this on purpose?

"Your Majesty, I think that although this item is beneficial, it will cost too much after all, and this item has not been verified on the battlefield... Is it too early?"

This was said by the servant of the Ministry of Rites, he said it with sincerity, and even glanced at Xia Yuanji after he finished speaking.

Of course the Household Department is qualified to speak, so Xia Yuanji came out and said: "Your Majesty, since this thing is of great use in the army, I dare not be stingy, and I should try my best to plan it. It's just whether the Cochin Copper Mine can be used as soon as possible. in addition……"

Xia Yuanji said with some hesitation: "If the copper is produced and travels by land, Your Majesty, the coins that are minted may lose money!"

The supply of copper materials is so much, if you want to cast cannons in large quantities, then the coinage will be reduced correspondingly, which is not good news for the Ministry of Households.

The coin itself has a cost. If the cost of transportation is added, the value of Cochin copper will be greatly reduced immediately.

Originally, when there was not much shortage of copper materials, the transportation cost could be ignored, but when the matter of not giving the household department a copper plate came out, Xia Yuanji felt that a piece of his flesh had been cut off.

But no matter how difficult it was, Xia Yuanji still agreed.

This is the big picture!

Zhu Di stroked his beard and smiled, feeling that although his household secretary was a bit stingy, he had never been ambiguous about major matters.

When Hu Guang saw the smiling faces of those Wu Xun, a shadow suddenly floated in his heart, and a thought popped out.

— by sea!

That damned Fang Xing!

Doesn't he know the risks of shipping?

That person couldn't be... had been planning this for a long time, right?

Hu Guang suddenly felt a little cold on his body, but after thinking about it, he felt wrong. Even if Fang Xing had been planning to continue the shipping, the big copper mine in Jiaozhi was only discovered after the canal was completed.

Unless he can predict the future, otherwise this can only be a coincidence!

However, Fang Xue wants to take this opportunity to go ashore and hook up with the military...

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Tatars and Oirats in the north have become confrontational, and the Jiaozhi in the south has been calmed down. My Ming Dynasty should focus on recuperation. Last time Xia Shangshu said that the household department is a bit stretched. Why not take it easy and let it go. The Tatars and Oirats can fight with confidence..."

"If I, Ming Dynasty, build a large number of these bronze cannons at this time, Your Majesty, with the cunning of Arutai and the ruthlessness of the Wala people, will they... join forces?"

Hu Guang talked eloquently, with excellent demeanor, and others would praise him if he saw it. He really is the talent of Zaifu.

"Your Majesty, when Wala and Tatar are fighting, it is better to be still!"
