Chapter 300: Add some sugar to Big Ivan

"really?"

This time, everyone was moved by it,
Zhentianlei was Song's trump card. With Liaoxia's Zhentianlei, Dasong's advantage will gradually disappear. Now that Dasong has a more powerful Thunderbolt with sugar added, it will take over again. upper hand.

Fan Zhengzheng nodded his head and said, "That's right! Now the Military Weapons Supervisor has developed a new type of thunderbolt, and the officials and the three ministers are invited to verify it in person."

"Can!"

Zhao Xu and the three prime ministers looked at each other and nodded excitedly.

The Great Song was able to achieve today's situation, thanks to Zhentianlei's contribution. The two Pingxia cities caused heavy losses to Xixia, and made the powerful Liao Kingdom dare not attack the Great Song. Now the military supervisor has developed a more powerful Zhentian Lei, Great Song Chaotang naturally couldn't wait to see it.

Inside the Arms Prison!

Hearing that the officials and the minister of the court personally inspected Zhentianlei again, the master craftsman Mo Yue dared not neglect and led everyone to the testing ground.

"This is the new type of thunder!" Zhao Xu frowned.

He found that the Zhentian Lei in front of him was no different from what he saw last time.

Fan Zheng replied: "Don't worry, officials, the power of Zhentianlei is not in the appearance, but in the gunpowder formula."

At the moment Fan Zheng and Fan Zheng stretched out their hand to make a move, Mo Yue secretly assembled two identical Thunderbolts on the spot from the traditional gunpowder formula and the new gunpowder formula, and placed them in the testing ground.

Following Fan Zheng's order.

"boom!"

"boom!"

With two loud bangs, the entire test field was filled with gunpowder smoke.

"Sir Fan, the lethality of the old thunderbolt is [-] steps, and the lethality of the new thunderbolt is [-] steps!" Mo Yue went up to check it himself, and came back to report solemnly.

"This level of power..." Zhao Xu's heart shuddered. The new type of grenade with icing sugar had a significant improvement in both sound and power.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "During the two battles of Pingxia City, the Xia army would often use the iron kite's hard cold-forged armor to climb the city, causing huge casualties to our army, and the power of the new thunderbolt is enough to break iron. Harrier's cold-forged armor."

"Okay!" Zhao Xu couldn't help elated.

"Besides, the Military Weapons Supervisor also created a small Thunderbolt, which can be held in one hand, but its lethality is almost the same as that of the old-fashioned Thunderbolt. It is enough to throw sixty paces."

At that moment, Fan Zheng picked up a long thunderbolt, which was a hand grenade with a wooden handle in later generations.

Due to the limited power of black gunpowder, only a large amount of thunderbolt can exert great power. Now the power of gunpowder added with sugar is greatly increased, which makes the famous wooden handle grenade appear in the world.

At that moment, Fan Zheng personally ignited the fuse of the grenade and threw it forcefully towards the test field ahead. With a bang, the thunder of thunder sounded from the test field [-] steps away.

"The lethality is within fifteen steps!" Mo Yue came back from the investigation and reported.

"The wooden handle shakes the sky and thunder is wonderful!"

Seeing this, Lu Dafang praised him all the time.

The traditional Zhentianlei is too bulky and can only be defended nearby, but this kind of wooden-handled Zhentianlei, Fan Zheng, can throw sixty steps with a single healer. If a trained warrior, he can definitely throw it farther.

For a long time, Song Jun used Zhentian Lei to defend, and he could only fight back when the enemy attacked the city.

Now with the handle Zhentianlei can throw up to sixty steps, coupled with the advantage of the city wall, and its explosion range, the defensive range is enough to cover a hundred steps away, which greatly improved the Song Army's defensive capabilities.

"I've been waiting for the usual icing sugar to have such a magical effect!" Zhao Xu said in surprise.

Ren he never imagined that the formula of gunpowder added with icing sugar would have such a huge power.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Ordinary sugar frosting naturally does not have such a strong effect. The most precious white sugar is added to the gunpowder."

"Sugar!"

The three prime ministers frowned unanimously when they heard the words, the white sugar is extremely white and crystal clear, and only high-ranking officials can afford it, Fan Zheng actually used it in gunpowder, and this new type of thunderbolt seems to be easy to use, but it is expensive It must be too high!

Zhang Dun couldn't help but have a headache. The Great Song Dynasty was already short of finances. Today's good financial operations depend on the turnover of 500 million yuan in national debt.

"That's why Fan suggested that Xiang soldiers set up a sugarcane farm and refine the sugar themselves. In this way, the cost can be reduced to the greatest extent for military supplies." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu's heart was moved immediately, he turned around to look at Fan Zhenghe and the three prime ministers, and asked, "What do you love ladies think?"

Lu Dafang thought about the astonishing power of the new Thunderbolt and the high price of sugar, and finally nodded.

Zhang Dun and Su Song also nodded helplessly. They were coveting the new Thunderbolt, but they couldn't afford the high price of sugar, so it was imperative to use soldiers to set up a sugar cane farm.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Fan Zheng's method is already the best method.

"Besides that, I have one more request!" Fan Zheng continued.

Zhao Xu said in a good mood: "Fan Aiqing, but it's okay to say!"

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "I kindly request that the new gunpowder formula be classified as top secret, only the five of us know about it! Don't let it out!"

Lu Dafang frowned and said, "Could it be that you suspect that the courtiers are colluding with Liao Xia?

Zhang Dun also looked at Fan Zheng with unfriendly eyes. Didn't Fan Zheng suspect that Zeng Bu was suspected by this move.

Fan Zheng smiled wryly and said: "Fan naturally does not doubt the loyalty of the courtiers, but Fan does not believe in the knowledge of the courtiers. I, a scholar-bureaucrat in the Song Dynasty, love books and say that the "Martial Classics General Essentials" compiled by Zeng Xianggong almost surpasses the courtiers' knowledge. The weapons manufacturing in the Song Dynasty is recorded in detail. Shen Kuo’s "Mengxi Bi Tan" introduces the formula of gunpowder and the top craftsmanship of craftsmen one by one. Now these two books are circulated in folk publishing houses. The reason why it has been able to compete against the Song Dynasty for so long is probably due to the mastery of the advanced craftsmanship of the Han people. Let me ask you which dynasty in the past dynasties is as difficult as my Song Dynasty."

The faces of all the prime ministers turned black immediately, because what Fan Zheng said was not unreasonable. The Great Song Dynasty occupied the Central Plains. The reason why the Great Song Dynasty did not have the upper hand in foreign wars was that apart from the lack of horses, the lack of weapons was also the most important thing.

"Fan Taicheng's words are true. Now, Song Dynasty has finally gained an advantage in gunpowder, and we must not miss this opportunity again." Su Song said solemnly.

Zhao Xu took it seriously and said, "Fan Taicheng's words are true. The new gunpowder formula is related to the national destiny of the Song Dynasty, and those who dare to leak it are from the Yi tribe! In the name of doctors, [-] soldiers were allocated to set up sugarcane farms, and all the sugar needed by the military supervisory department will be paid for." Purchasing in the name of doctors."

The ministers couldn't help but shudder. This was probably the first time that the Song Dynasty paid so much attention to a secret skill!

"The officials are wise!"

Fan Zheng saluted solemnly.
