Chapter 204
When Ying Zheng heard this, he was stunned at first,
Then he looked at He Chao with approval on his face and exclaimed:
"Haha, it turns out that the virtuous son-in-law has already arranged it, but I am too worried!"
When Li Si and Meng Tian heard this, they also directly erupted in exclamations:
"Master Hou's plan is really poisonous,
After those small countries in the Western Regions watched our steel mill and military parade, they were probably scared directly! "
"Master Hou's plan is clever, you can make the countries of the Western Regions submit without spending a single soldier."
"Master Hou has made a great contribution this time, and indirectly helped Daqin control the Western Regions."
......
Ying Zheng nodded frequently after listening,
Seeing the color of appreciation on He Chao's face becoming more and more intense, he became more and more satisfied with He Chao.
originally thought that he was just going to Tu'an to enjoy the mountains and rivers this time,
I didn't expect him to give himself such a big gift this time.
Advanced, Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian with burning eyes, and ordered in a deep voice:
"Meng Tian, I give you a month to prepare,
We must hold a grand military parade to deter those small countries in the Western Regions. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Meng Tian said excitedly.
After that, He Chao discussed with Yingzheng and them again,
Some specific matters concerning the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate, Yingzheng and they resigned and went back.
The next day, He Chao did not go out, but went to see his daughter Xiangxiang.
A few days ago, when He Chao and they went out,
Send Xiangxiang to the palace and let Yingzheng help take care of it,
After He Chao and the others returned home yesterday, Yingzheng sent someone to send Xiangxiang back.
Although Xiangxiang is not yet a year old,
But under the careful care of He Chao and Yingshimane,
It's thriving every day, and now it's crawling.
At this time, in the courtyard, Xiangxiang was crawling back and forth on the ground inlaid with porcelain plates.
"Haha, come, Xiangxiang climbed to Daddy!"
He Chao jumped more than ten meters away from Xiangxiang and clapped his hands at her.
"Babbling."
Xiangxiang babbled and laughed as she crawled towards He Chao's position.
Yingciman and the other four daughters are also on the side,
Seeing He Chao teasing his daughter, he couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face.
"Haha, that's good."
"Come, let Daddy kiss one."
After Xiangxiang crawled over, He Chao directly hugged Xiangxiang up,
Then he doted on her delicate face and kissed her.
"Master, you're finally back."
Just when He Chao was teasing Xiangxiang, Fusu walked into the courtyard, and then shouted in surprise.
"Fusu, aren't you in the Academy of Sciences?"
"Why are you free today?"
He Chao followed the prestige, and when he saw that it was Fusu who came, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
Fusu smiled and nodded:
"Master, I came here this time because I have great news to tell you."
"What's the good news?" He Chao asked curiously.
Fusu said excitedly:
"Master, do you remember the artillery drawings you designed for our Academy of Sciences earlier?
Now our Academy of Sciences has developed the artillery you mentioned. "
After He Chao listened, he immediately remembered what Fusu said about the artillery.
It was when he happened to inspect the Academy of Sciences some time ago.
changed the design drawings of the artillery to Fusu,
and instructed the staff of the Academy of Sciences,
After the guidance, He Chao put this matter aside.
In his opinion, even if he told the design drawings and research direction of the Fusu artillery,
It will take at least a while to produce results.
I didn't expect to be able to study the artillery so quickly.
This artillery is of great significance in Daqin, and it is indeed a good thing.
Its lethality is similar to that of explosives, but it is more convenient to use than explosives, and the range is also very long.
If it is used on the battlefield, it is definitely a magic weapon, which can completely change the way of war.
Thinking of this, He Chao nodded excitedly, and then said to Fusu with an excited face:
"Take me over and have a look, and then you can go and call your father and the emperor again.
Let's test the power of this cannon together. "
"Yes!"
Fusu nodded tiredly, and immediately sent his men to inform Yingzheng of them.
Immediately afterwards, he followed He Chaotong out of the city in a carriage and went to the Academy of Sciences in the suburbs.
And Yingzheng and the others immediately learned the news, and they all rushed over with excitement.
He Chao had mentioned artillery to Yingzheng before,
And blow it very awesome,
Therefore, Ying Zheng has always been very much looking forward to the artillery described by He Chao.
After Fusu took He Chao to the Academy of Sciences,
Immediately, people pushed out their newly developed cannon.
The cannon is covered with a red cloth, which looks very mysterious.
It didn't take long for Yingzheng to lead a group of important ministers over.
As soon as Ying Zheng came over, he looked at He Chao with an excited face and asked:
"Son-in-law, I heard that the cannon you said was made, where is it?"
After speaking, Ying Zheng eagerly began to search with his eyes.
He Chao directly patted the cannon covered with a red cloth and said:
"Haha, father-in-law, don't worry, isn't the cannon here?"
Ying Zheng's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately looked at the cannon beside He Chao.
When he saw that the cannon was covered with a red cloth, he said even more impatiently:
"Son-in-law, why are you still covered with a red cloth?
Let's see what this artillery really looks like! "
The other ministers at the scene also nodded in agreement.
If He Chao hadn't been here, maybe they would have lifted the red cloth and looked at it.
"Okay, I'll satisfy you!"
After speaking, He Chao directly grabbed the red cloth and lifted the entire red cloth directly from the cannon.
"Whoa!" After a single sound, the whole cannon finally revealed his true colors!
I saw two wheels under the cannon, and a huge brass pipe in the middle.
The whole copper pipe is about one zhang long, and the muzzle caliber of the cannon is more than half a zhang.
The whole weapon looks black and unremarkable,
And it looks thick and bulky, which is much different from the magic weapon they imagined.
After Ying Zheng and the others glanced at the cannon,
The excited expression directly cooled down, and the whole person was a little disappointed.
After all, He Chao and Ying Zheng blew the cannon so awesome before,
Say that this cannon can open mountains and crack rocks,
It has the same lethality as the Explosives Pack, and can change the way warfare is fought on the battlefield.
But the cannon in front of me looks black,
It doesn't match the magic weapon in He Chao's mouth at all.
Thinking of this, Li Si, Meng Tian, Wang Ben and others all had a will about the lethality of this cannon, and they all shook their heads and said:
"Master Hou, is this the cannon you are talking about? Why does it look so bulky? "
"Can this copper pipe really crack the mountain?"
"Master Hou, are you blowing too much, is this artillery really as awesome as you say?"
......
I don't blame Li Si, Meng Tian and others for reaching their worries,
This cannon looks very bulky and has poor mobility on the battlefield.
If such a bulky weapon does not have great lethality, it will be a burden to move to the battlefield.
Hearing everyone's doubts, He Chao smiled and said confidently:
"Hehe, facts speak louder than words, I'll test the effect of this cannon with you now,
You'll know if I'm talking big or not! "
