Chapter 394 The Jade Emperor and the Artillery

"There must be something unavoidable, a plan that cannot be changed, and it's just a momentary anger."

"I would like to practice the plan of my ancestors in order to find the good of China. Let the anger of no benefit be settled, and the disputes that are not urgent."

"Suppressing the front of the world's soldiers and waiting for your country's favor, the righteousness of the great country is also good; the anger of the step can also be rhymed."

Before Xianshiyan, the eunuch read carefully.

Immortal stone, it is said that someone once saw a fairy here, and it became more and more popular, and was recognized by the national teacher Fan Huzi, and the scenery became popular, and the country's lord came here to worship from time to time.

Today is no exception. There are thousands of people in the huge procession with colorful flags unfurling and complicated ceremonial guards. The entire mountain is full of accompanying people and soldiers blocking the road.

"What is he!" Southern Han Emperor Liu Yu was furious: "I am the son of the Jade Emperor, he dares to make me bow my head and become a minister!
What kind of thing is Li Yu? His daughter-in-law was snatched by Shi Congyun to play with. He didn't even dare to fart. "

When he cursed, everyone around him laughed.

Some people continued to flatter, saying that the ruler of the country was mighty and unyielding, that he had great ambitions to counter the north, and so on.

Liu Yu became happy when he heard this.

"Ganniang said, I am the son of the Jade Emperor, and I am blessed by the heavens. Shi Congyun is nothing! If they dare to come to the palace, they will definitely be wiped out." Liu Wei said very confidently, and the officials around him also echoed .

Liu Yan rubbed his hands even more proudly, "When I defeat the Northern Dynasty, I will snatch Li Yu's concubine back, and then I will see what he has to say."

He said wretchedly and laughed.

The closest to Liu Yu is a dark-skinned plump woman, who is his favorite concubine and is always with him.

I don't understand that Liu Wei has learned from his father's extravagant life since he was a child. Few people can understand why this black and fat woman called "Charm Pig" is favored by Liu Wei.

Meizhu is a Persian who traveled across the ocean to Panyu to do business. Her father was a businessman, and she became a concubine only after being favored by Liu Wei.

The other woman closest to him had black pot ash on her face, a crown made of bird feathers, a brown coir raincoat, and a straw skirt. She was very different.

She is the godmother of the lord of the country, Fan Huzi, the national teacher of the Southern Han Dynasty. Fan Huzi doesn't have a beard, but a witch.

The person who said that the Lord of the Kingdom was the son of the Jade Emperor was also the most powerful person in the entire Southern Han Kingdom besides the Son of Heaven. He was accompanied by six well-dressed virgins and virgins.

The other is a young woman in a purple official uniform, in her twenties and thirties, she is very energetic and beautiful, but she is really out of place as a prime minister in purple, which is completely unimaginable.

This person is Lu Qiongxian, a servant of the Southern Han Dynasty, who has won the trust of the country's lord, and is a woman who holds the power of the court.

Those present were almost the most powerful people in the Southern Han Dynasty. After a while, Fan Huzi, surrounded by many boys and girls, began to practice divination by drawing symbols, which were all old-fashioned methods.

After pretending to play tricks and dancing for a while, Fan Huzi announced the result "good luck!" "Your Majesty has the blessings of heaven. If the Qin army dares to come, they will definitely return in defeat. The emperor will not let them go."

Liu Yu was overjoyed after hearing this: "Godmother, you can ask my father again how to deal with those hateful Qin Jun! Show me a way."

Fan Huzi babbled around for a while, suddenly his eyes turned white, his whole body trembled, and he muttered something, as if he was in a state of epilepsy. Others were puzzled, Liu Yu said: "Don't move, godmother, this is the upper body of the Jade Emperor!"

When the emperor spoke, many civil and military officials, whether they believed it or not, could only look at each other and back away.

After a long time, Fan Huzi finally returned to normal, and then shook his head: "The Jade Emperor said that if the Qin army dared to come to the south, he would send down heaven's punishment, but if the Qin army didn't come, we would not be able to get the blessing of heaven if we took the initiative to attack. Lost."

Liu Yan was a little anxious: "Isn't I the son of the Jade Emperor? Why doesn't he even help his son!"

Lu Qiongxian's eyes flickered, and he looked at Fan Huzi.

Fan Huzi was very calm, his expression did not change at all, and he still said majesticly: "Your Majesty, the heavens have the virtue of loving life. The Jade Emperor is the emperor of the nine heavens, who controls all things and commands all living beings. People in the north are also the subjects of the emperor of heaven, and they will not treat one more than another.

Therefore, if His Majesty wants to send troops to harm the lives of the people in the north, even if the Emperor of Heaven has infinite divine power, even if His Majesty is his eldest son on earth, he will not get help. "

When Liu Yan heard this, his expression finally softened a little, and he sighed: "Well, it's no wonder that the attack on Qin is not good. It turns out that there is such a saying in the sky."

Lu Qiongxian answered immediately: "It's God's will, it's not your majesty's fault."

"But I remember Qin's hatred, and I will avenge it sooner or later!"

By the Bian River, the autumn air is crisp and the wind is slightly cold.

Shi Congyun was dressed in blue casual clothes, surrounded by several generals, and watched from afar the big ship docked on the river bank a hundred paces away from his hut by the river.

Everyone couldn't take their eyes off it, as if the lonely warship docked on the shore under the sky was about to bloom flowers, Emperor Shi also couldn't take his eyes off his eyes, his eyes were as big as copper bells.

A bunch of grandpas crammed into a narrow hut inevitably makes people fantasize about it.

On the riverside, a lonely warship stands tall, only sparse clouds float in the sky, the reeds are withered and yellow in the distance, and the water is rippling.

Suddenly, the ship really blossomed in their eyes. With a loud noise, the orange-red flame flowers bloomed instantly, and the blue smoke rose, and many fine ripples appeared on the river surface, and the ground under their feet trembled.

A sharp whistle cut through the air, and soon there was a muffled sound on the distant hillside, and earth and rocks splashed.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Shi Congyun immediately came out of the hut, followed by many generals, and walked towards the big ship.

But only halfway there, a head poked out from the deck of the huge riverside ship and shook his head, Shi Congyun's heart felt cold for a while.

Soon, the ladder rope was lowered on the port side of the ship, and a soldier slid down and landed in the shallows of the river. He didn't care that his trousers were half wet, and immediately ran towards him: "The official house is cracked, it's still cracked."

Shi Congyun nodded with disappointment on his face.

For nearly half a month, they have been studying an important technology, that is how to move the cannons to the deck, so that the Qin army's warships can be turned into gunboats.

This is not an easy thing to do, not to mention the problem that a cannon can be hundreds of catties, and it will be fixed after it is on the deck.

Then there are two biggest problems, the impact of the recoil on the wooden deck and the difficulty of filling.

These guns are all front-loading guns. If the muzzle sticks out of the deck, it will be troublesome to load and clean up.

Shi Congyun asked the Confidentiality Department to postpone this matter and solve the reinforcement problem first.

The huge recoil of the artillery can destroy the wooden deck after firing several times in a row. Then they thought of thickening the wooden deck, but it still didn't work.

I also thought that the bottom of the gun barrel was designed to use copper to reduce the recoil buffer, so I used the method of wrapping the deck with copper skin to try to alleviate the impact of the recoil, but this time it failed again.

This plan is not just a technical improvement, but also has huge strategic significance.

Regarding the dispute between Guizhou and Panyu in the middle of the court, Shi Congyun thought of his own solution. They thought about it from the perspective of fighting, but he found another way, thinking of technological crushing.

What he thought was that if he put hundreds of cannons on the battleship and went to Guilin to block the water army camp in the Southern Han Dynasty, wouldn't all the problems be solved?

What's more, most of the rivers and waterways are calm and calm, not as rough as the sea, which is more conducive to the display of artillery.

In the end, he didn't expect to pour cold water on him when he did it. It was not as easy as he thought.
Shi Congyun looked at the sun in the distance, and said a little disappointed: "Come here first today, you all go back to rest, think of a way, I will come tomorrow."
