The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 565
Only a few days later, there was something that made Zhao Dongting's mood suddenly improved again.

The skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Military Industry worked overtime, and finally forged the sky cannon he researched into a real object.

Xu Yuesong, Minister of the Ministry of Military Industry, happily ran to the bedroom to ask to see Zhao Dongting.

After Zhao Dongting learned about it, he was also very yearning.Dang even took Ying'er, Tie Liduan and others out of the palace and headed for the Ministry of Military Industry.

Not long after that, a group of skilled craftsmen followed Zhao Dongting out of Haikang to the open space outside Haikang County.

Su Liuyi, deputy commander of military aircraft, Li Qingyun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Military Science, Ren Wei, commander of the Feitian Army, and Yue Peng, commander of the Tiankui Army, accompanied them.

The flags fluttered, and the elite soldiers of the Kui army guarded them for hundreds of days.

Zhao Dongting's carriage stopped slowly when they arrived in the col, which was about ten miles away from Haikang County.Yue Peng raised his gun, and hundreds of days of elite soldiers of the Kui army ordered them to stand still.

The spears didn't shake at all, and they all pointed obliquely in the air, and even the time when the horse's hooves landed was almost the same.

The elites of the Tiankui Army and the Forbidden Army can be regarded as veterans of many battles.Although the strength is naturally weaker than that of the Flying Dragon Army, it is definitely extremely rare in this era.

Zhao Dongting led Ying Er out of the carriage, whispered a few words to Ying Er, then looked up at the sun in the sky, dazzled slightly, and walked forward.

The craftsmen of the Military Science Department placed the carefully carved parts on the ground.

They each have their own jobs, but none of them can forge a complete sky cannon, and naturally they can't assemble it.

This is what Zhao Dongting had to do in order to prevent the leakage of the sky cannon manufacturing method.

Su Liuyi and the others all showed yearning and anticipation.

Su Liuyi followed Zhao Dongting with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, I still remember the scene of trying the Thunderbolt. I wonder how the Sky Cannon compares to the Thunderbolt?"

Zhao Dongting only shook his head slightly, "The uses are different, so it's not easy to compare. But purely in terms of power, the Soaring Cannon can be compared with the Shenlong Cannon (bomb launcher)."

The smile on Su Liuyi's face became even more joyful.

Zhao Dongting squatted down and began to fiddle with the neatly placed parts on the ground.

The people around were very sensible and left, retreating ten meters away.

In just over ten minutes, another grenadier appeared in front of Zhao Dongting's eyes.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand to the back and said, "Bring up the shells."

A small official from the Military Science Department hurriedly carried a box of shells and ran to the front.

Su Liuyi, Yue Peng and the others couldn't help but followed curiously, and were slightly taken aback when they saw the grenade.

Yue Peng said: "Your Majesty, isn't this the Shenlong Cannon?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head and chuckled, "You don't understand, they look similar, but the difference inside is huge."

Of course he would not explain to Yue Peng the firing pin method, gunpowder propulsion device and so on.These things, even if they are said, it is impossible for everyone to understand them.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help feeling a few words in his heart, "Life is really lonely like snow."

He opened the case and took out the shells.

The appearance of the cannonball is also not much different from that of the projectile.Only the tail is a little different.

Zhao Dongting waved his hands behind him again, and told Ren Wei: "General Ren, let a hot air balloon go up into the sky."

Ren Wei quickly nodded in agreement.

The flying sergeant he specially brought spread out the hot air balloon, ignited the flames, and the hot air balloon slowly lifted into the sky.

Everyone's eyes followed the hot air balloon higher and higher.

Zhao Dongting lowered his head and fiddled with the sky cannon, raised a finger to aim left and then aim again.Then when the hot air balloon rose to a very high altitude, I went to the telescope installed on the sky cannon to look down.

"General Ren, how many feet can a hot air balloon reach at most?"

Ren Wei replied: "Back to the emperor, the hot air balloon can rise to about two hundred feet. No matter how high it is, it will be impossible to control it, and it will be difficult to hit the target below."

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Then you usually lead the army in battle, at what height are you usually at?"

Ren Wei replied without hesitation: "Probably less than 150 feet."

"How high does the hot air balloon have to go now?"

"Probably more than 200 feet!"

"Oh."

Zhao Dongting stopped talking, and then leaned under the binoculars again.

The hot air balloon rose higher and higher.

Su Liuyi and the others next to him couldn't help but look anxious, wondering why the emperor didn't fire the cannon.

It was not until about two minutes later that Zhao Dongting finally stuffed the shell into the barrel of the sky cannon under the eager eyes of everyone.

Yinger smiled lightly and covered her ears, then blinked at Zhang Ru next to her.Zhang Ru also covered her ears.

A cannonball with a flame shot straight into the sky.

The fire tail is like a shooting star.

Then, there was a loud bang.

Su Liuyi and the others were dumbfounded, their expressions were dumbfounded, and their ears were also dumbfounded.

The hot air balloon, which had already flown extremely high, was blown apart, turning into dozens of debris and falling to the ground.

Zhao Dongting laughed.

After tens of seconds passed, he stood up, turned around and asked Su Liuyi, Yue Peng and the others, "How about my soaring cannon?"

Su Liuyi cupped his hands, "Your Majesty is talented and intelligent, no one in the world can surpass you. Even if Guiguzi is alive, he is far behind."

Ren Wei looked solemn, "Hot air balloons will no longer be invincible."

Yue Peng: "I'm an obedient mother, I'm really scared to death."

Then hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "The last general begged the emperor to give this sky-rocket to the Tiankui army!"

The elite soldiers of hundreds of days who were still standing on their horses got off their horses in unison, and then fell to their knees.

"You think beautiful."

Zhao Dongting scolded with a smile: "Each army can have up to fifty of these soaring cannons. If there are too many, don't even think about one."

Yue Peng laughed, already satisfied, "The last general will thank the emperor."

Zhao Dongting clapped his hands, high-spirited, "I'd like to see how those nasty villains in Dali will continue to grab food in the Song Dynasty."

Then he looked at Xu Yuesong, Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun, "Master Xu and Master Li listen to the order."

Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun cupped their hands, "The minister is here."

Zhao Dongting said: "I order you to build fifty sky cannons within two months, and then send them to my deputy Zhang Jue's army."

Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun took the orders.

Su Liuyi was slightly surprised at the side, "Your Majesty, don't you plan to move to the palace in the spring season?"

Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and shook his head, "For the matter of moving the palace, you can follow the empress dowager first. Keep General Yue here in Leizhou, and you can go with me in the future. I still have some things to do."

Seeing that Zhao Dongting didn't say anything clearly, Su Liuyi was slightly puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions.

On this day, everyone returned to Haikang beaming with joy.

With this soaring cannon, Da Song can remain invincible when he competes with soldiers.

……

spring equinox.

Leizhou port revitalized.

The merchant ships coming and going broke through the thick fog and brought white silver taels to Leizhou.

But those who are interested find that Liuqiu, who had the closest contact with him before, did not get many merchant ships.Those who came here were all black ships without official documents.

All the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty going to Liuqiu were blocked overseas by Liuqiu soldiers and were not allowed to enter the port.

This is obviously not normal.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, the director of the Customs Department realized that the matter was serious, so he personally reported the matter to Zhao Dongting.

After Zhao Dongting heard it, he just nodded slightly, "I know."

He was not surprised, because the scouts of the military intelligence department who were stationed in Liuqiu had been reporting to him the situation in Liuqiu.

This matter was all caused by Cai Jianjiu on Liuqiu's side.

Zhao Dongting heard Tie Liduan talk about Lin Chong and Na Laoshizi Liuqiu's martial arts leader Cai Jianjiu, but he didn't expect that Cai Jianjiu actually had such energy in Liuqiu.

Coercing Liuqiu National Army's A Xinghuang to order to refuse to do business with Song Dynasty by force, such a thing can only happen in a place like Liuqiu.

If it was in the vast Central Plains, which warrior would dare to take such a big disgrace?

Which warrior has such strength?
Cai Jianjiu is only in the Shangyuan Realm, but he actually rules the entire Liuqiu Jianghu.Really ridiculous.

On this day, Lu Xiufu, Su Liuyi, Chen Wenlong and other ministers left Haikang with Li Xiushu, Yinger and others for Changsha.

A large and small group of court officials, eunuchs and maids accompanied by thousands of people.

In addition, there are also the worshipers of Wu Dingtang, and the other five forbidden troops who stayed in Leizhou except Yue Pengtian Kui Army.

This is just the people of the court.

If you want to follow the court to Changsha, as well as the relatives and family members of officials and soldiers, there will be more.

If you really have to calculate it in detail, there are probably tens of thousands of people.

Tong Zhen, Liu Hongyi and others who had not yet left Haikang followed Zhao Dongting and sent Li Xiushu and others out of Haikang Xu Yuan.

And in the next two days, Zhao Dongting also left Haikang with Tie Liduan, Kumano, Hong Wutian, and Mrs. Xu, four peerless masters from the Hall of Glory of the Wuding Hall.

They boarded the ship from Leizhou port, but they headed towards Liuqiu.
