My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 966 The Northern Expedition
"Father, don't touch it anymore, this is the fire support you want!"

Outside the Hall of Qinzheng, Li Zheng and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all pouted their buttocks curiously, just like stroking their own mother-in-law, while touching and observing the two cannons placed on the square, their eyes were full of interest.

Li Zheng looked into the cannon barrel with his eyes on the muzzle, and there was nothing but some fine lines.

"This is the Western Expedition weapon artillery? No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look very powerful. Isn't this an iron pipe made of iron?"

The civil and military ministers on the side also nodded eagerly. They had read all the battle reports, and they were also itchy for the thunderous cannon in the description, but they were a little disappointed when they actually saw it.

This is different from what I imagined!

how to say?It doesn't look like the infinitely powerful appearance in the document records!

The corner of Liu Mingzhi's mouth twitched as he looked at the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Isn't it just a black pipe made of iron?

It's easy for you to say, do you know what it takes to test out the most stable artillery?
The quality of the artillery and the range of the shells cannot be used immediately after being made, and must be finalized after thousands of trials.

Every time it is returned to the furnace and rebuilt, thousands of silver are filled in it!

Just because of these things, he almost went bankrupt, and Liu Mingzhi's crying with the emperor was not all fake, at least one-third of it was true.

"Aren't there fifty doors? Why are there only two?"

"Father, you don't want my son to test the quality of the artillery for you in the palace, do you? If you are not afraid of spending money to rebuild the palace, son of course has no objections. You can load the shells right now!"

Li Zheng looked embarrassed and finally ignored Liu Mingzhi's teasing.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, the bottom of his coffin is running out, and the palace has really collapsed. Jiang Yuanming, a bad old man, will definitely not take money from the treasury to repair the palace!
"What about the rest?"

"It's been transported to the Longwuwei camp. There is an open plain, which is the best place to test the power of the artillery. Please move the father to have a look!"

"Old Zhou, prepare the horse for me and go to the Longwuwei Camp!"

"According to the order!"

"My dear friends, you should also ride horses at the city gate, and we will meet at the Longwuwei camp!"

"Sir, please retire!"

Although Dalong is now divided into civil and military classes, there are no pure literati who are in the second class.

A horse can be a general, and a horse can rule the people!
Civil officials claim to be inferior to military officers only in the ability to command soldiers to attack, and the ability to ride horses and shoot arrows is not as weak as imagined.

Even scholars from the south of the Yangtze River have to gradually learn the skills of riding and shooting after they arrive at the court.

If faced with the power of destroying the country, all the generals will die for the country, and there are civil servants who can still fight!
In comparison, the development of Dalong today is similar to that of the later Tang Dynasty, and the official administration is somewhat like the Song Dynasty.

"Boy, is this thing really as easy to use as it is recorded in the battle report?"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Wan Buhai respectfully. Although he was also among the Dukes of the state, Liu Mingzhi still respected Wan Buhai very much.

This is an old hero who is still passionate. To be the prince of a country, he must be a character who has gone through the bloody battles of the Southern and Northern Wars!

"Grandpa, don't worry, when the time comes, the boy will teach your soldiers how to use artillery to restrain the cavalry's charge, and there are more than two types of artillery shells today. A new type of scattered bombs has been made. It will take [-] iron beads to hit people, even the Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save them if they go down to earth!"

"Okay, I will see the power of your artillery! Riding together!"

"Please, old man, the boy will lead the horse and kick for you. I wish the old man a great victory and return, and restore the grandeur of our Han family!"

"The old man will be a big one!"

Liu Mingzhi led the horse and kicked Wan Buhai onto the horse and walked slowly out of the city.

Liu Mingzhi rode on the horse and looked at Wan Buhai, the old man, Fu Zhizhi, who was a thousand miles away, and his blood boiled with enthusiasm.

In terms of heroes in the world, it belongs to my Han family, who have come out in large numbers, and died generously without changing their faces!
In the Longwuwei camp, the dragon flags and flags fluttered in the wind, roaring loudly!
Knowing that the emperor came to the Longwuwei camp in person, Cheng Kai, who was temporarily acting as the commander of the recruits, gave orders early. Longwuwei's [-] recruits cleared the area for ten miles, ensuring that there would be no hidden dangers that would threaten the emperor's safety!
Jiang Lei stood at Cheng Kai and looked into the distance again: "Why don't you come, general, should we take someone to greet him?"

"No, it is a serious crime to lead troops before His Majesty without being summoned. You can just wait with peace of mind! This trip will be accompanied by civil and military personnel from the Manchu Dynasty. These are a group of veteran killers who have experienced many battles. Your Majesty's safety is absolutely not a problem!"

"All right!"

The dust billowed, and hundreds of riders scattered and rushed towards Longwuwei's camp.

"Ouchi's guards have arrived, His Majesty will not be far away!"

As soon as Cheng Kai finished speaking, the dragon flag fluttered in the wind and galloped towards the Longwuwei camp.

"call"

Li Zheng grabbed the reins tightly and got off the horse, looking at Cheng Kai with a faint smile!

Afterwards, all civil and military officials got off their horses, and hundreds of people came on horseback, but none of them arrived by car!
Even the old pedant Xia Gongming, the imperial historian, has a beautiful equestrian skill, and he doesn't look like a clerical one at all!
Just like what Renzheng said in Dangyang Academy that day, scholars in the world have long forgotten the six arts of a gentleman if they don’t go to the imperial court.
"Cheng Aiqing, thank you for your trouble!"

"Chen Kai!"

"Jiang Lei!"

"See Your Majesty, it's difficult to salute in armor, please forgive me!"

"See Your Majesty!"

"See Your Majesty!"

Li Zheng looked passionately at the tens of thousands of recruits of the Dragon Guards around him: "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Liu Aiqing, experiment with artillery!"

Liu Mingzhi walked up to Cheng Kai and nodded faintly: "Order Jiang Lei's infantry!"

"Decree! Uh. Master Liu, don't be offended, I will get used to it in the end!"

"It's okay, let's go!"

"Your Majesty, colleagues please!"

Everyone walked towards the Longwuwei camp with strong curiosity. How powerful the artillery is, I can finally see it today!

Cheng Kai had already cleared out the corresponding open space to arrange artillery.

Li Zheng and all civil and military officials obeyed Liu Mingzhi's orders obediently, and blocked their ears with cotton plugs.

There is always a little fear of the unknown!
"The cannon is finished!"

"The cannon is finished!"

Liu Mingzhi turned his head and glanced at the civil and military officials behind him, put on a tampon, and waved down the command flag in his hand fiercely.

"Three times in three batches, fire!"

"fire!"

The trembling of the ground between a few breaths made all the civil and military officials dumbfounded. Although their ears were plugged, the loud noise of the thunder from the blue still made their hearts tremble.

The sound of cannons was booming, and three batches of 48 shells were consumed within a cup of tea.

Everyone stared blankly at the dust and smoke covering the sky and the sun in the distance. The power of the artillery made them terrified!
"Good! Great gun!"

Li Zheng removed the earplugs from his ears with an unconcealable joy on his face. He had a binoculars in his hand to see the destructive power of the artillery clearly.

"Is it okay? In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of taels of snowflakes and silver are gone!"

Li Zheng's face froze, it really was the golden ten thousand taels when the cannon fired!

This is too expensive.

A group of generals headed by Duke Wu rode horses and rushed towards the landing point of the shells. They had to see the lethality of the shells with their own eyes.

Li Zheng walked straight towards the cannon and reached out to pat the hot cannon barrel.

"Make artillery at all costs, first come three thousand!"

Jiang Yuanming looked at Li Zheng in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, we have no money!"

"I don't know my mother is out of money? Can't I make it in the future? Can't I think about it?"

The emperor roared and Lao Jiang lowered his head in grievance, let's build it, let's make it, the treasury will not be built once it is clean!

On the fifteenth day of March in the fifth year of Ruian, the Northern Expedition army, which had been preparing for the war for nearly a month, set off under the leadership of Wan Buhai.

"Grandpa, take care!"

Wan Buhai looked at Liu Mingzhi and nodded heavily.

"This time I will either return to my country, or I will never return!"

Liu Mingzhi hesitated to speak, but finally sighed and looked at Wan Buhai and walked towards the former army without saying a word!

"The army is drawn out, and the Northern Expedition is launched!"

Wan Buhai's old and heroic orders spread throughout the three armies in an instant.

The drums are rumbling, and the horns are sounding!
Flags were flying on both sides, and scouts cleared the way to guard the coffin on the bullock cart and marched northward!
No return to Heshuo and the two places will never be returned.

In his sixtieth year, Wan Buhai brought his coffin to fight against Shibis royal court to recover the lost ground.

To show its determination.
