The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 283 The advent of sharp weapons

Changan.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still in a heavy mood these days, waiting for news from Wuwei, even though he knew that news from Wuwei would not come so soon.

Early this morning, when he went to Qilin Hall, someone came from Wuwei.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in a daze. He counted the time and realized that his imperial edict to attack Wuwei had not yet been transmitted. Why did people come there so quickly?

Wuwei is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and the news received by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still at the stage when Wuwei was captured by the Huns.

"See Your Majesty."

A soldier hurriedly walked into the hall, clasped his fists and said, "General Gongsun, please report urgently!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded and reached out to take the letter. After reading it, his eyes suddenly widened and he took a sharp breath.

After a while, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised his voice and said: "Go! Call Lu Chongguo!"

"Here!"

After Lu Chongguo arrived, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked him to find a group of dead craftsmen to make weapons, which shocked Lu Chongguo.

He didn't understand what kind of craftsman needed to be so secretive?

Lu Chongguo didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly went to find a group of craftsmen. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not treat them badly and arranged all their families properly. At least the descendants of future generations would transcend social classes and have no worries about food and drink. They would treat their husbands as dead in the army. On the battlefield!

In the next two days, Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion began to intensively manufacture black powder according to the formula.

It is worth mentioning that Gongsun Ao only mentioned black powder as a weapon. The formula for the weapon was written by Weining, and no one knew what the formula was.

Gongsun Ao knew that this was a serious matter, but he did not dare to know about it himself. He emphasized to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in many letters that the only one who knew the black powder formula now was Wei Ning, and he had disposed of all the other soldiers.

On the third day, the black powder was quickly mixed according to Weining's formula.

This evening, Chang'an, a small hill on the outskirts of the city.

The surrounding Jianzhang Camp Forbidden Army has surrounded this place. Wei Qing, Zhuang Qingzhai, Sang Hongyang and other important officials of the DPRK have all gathered here.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. No one knew why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked them to come here.

However, they learned from Lu Chongguo that Dahan had developed a new weapon, which was even more shocking.

Even if Wei Ning had developed the steel-making method before, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not pay such attention to it!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty squinted his eyes, raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Chongguo in the distance, and nodded indicatively.

Lu Chongguo ordered the craftsmen to light black gunpowder and throw it towards the grassroots crowd on the hill in the distance.

While everyone was still confused, there was a violent bang, which immediately caused the crowd to explode.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Wei Qing immediately jumped in front of Emperor Wu of Han, and Sang Hong, Yangzhuang Qingzhai and others surrounded Emperor Wu of Han.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also very frightened just now. Although Wei Ning had warned Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty about the power of this weapon in his letter, but now that he had actually seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he was still frightened with his heart in his throat. .

However, his expression was calm and calm, and he said calmly: "This is a new weapon developed by the Marquis of Zhenbei. Let's go and see how it works."

Before anyone could react, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already walked in the direction of the explosion with his hands behind his back.

Human beings are inherently full of fear of unknown things, such as ghosts and gods.

Now Wei Qing and others believed that this matter was as weird as ghosts and gods, and their hearts were full of fear. They instinctively stopped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said: "Your Majesty! No!"

"dangerous!"

They had just heard the explosion, which was like a thunderbolt striking from the sky. At this time, they had to consider whether the emperor's passing would threaten their physical safety. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled heartily and said: "It's okay, go and have a look."

As if facing a formidable enemy, Wei Qing and others followed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the grass target, and then... everyone was shocked and stunned!

The straw target had been riddled with holes, and many iron filings were embedded in the branches!

If this explodes in the crowd...

It's like a thunder punishment from heaven!

Wei Qing looked solemn and took a breath. He quickly realized the importance of the matter and nervously asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty...this weapon..."

"Can it be made artificially?!"

Wei Qing was really shocked and his face was extremely serious. If this kind of weapon could be developed, it would have a profound impact on the development of the Han Dynasty's entire armed forces... One can imagine!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at Wei Qing and said, "If it can't be created artificially, how did this explosion come about?"

hiss!

Zhuang Qingzhai also came to his senses at this time and asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty... is this the result of research by the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

After his reminder, everyone suddenly realized, yes, His Majesty seemed to have mentioned casually just now that this weapon was invented by Wei Ning.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said calmly: "Well, he sent me a letter from Wuwei County."

At this time, the soldiers who delivered the order rushed back from Wuwei, came to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and explained the situation in Wuwei County in detail.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shouted excitedly: "Okay!"

"Well done to them! Kudos to them!"

Wei Qing and others were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses, still in disbelief.

Gongsun Ao used the loss of 5,000 men to defeat Wuwei and capture Wuwei County?

This is simply a fantasy!

But seeing the black gunpowder in front of him, Wei Qing fell silent.

If they had done this before, they would definitely have thought that such a thing was a fantasy, but with this weapon exploding in front of them, even the most fantasy could become possible!

The effect of this weapon has been tested in actual combat. Everyone is trembling with excitement just thinking about how profound it is to the development of the Han's armaments!

They no longer know how to describe the Marquis of Zhenbei, who is as smart as a demon!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pondered for a moment before ordering Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion to speed up the manufacturing of weapons. At the same time, he solemnly ordered Wei Qing to be the Firearms Supervisor and in charge of all firearms manufacturing work.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specially ordered Zongzheng Da Nongfu to build a government office in the mountains outside Chang'an, and asked the imperial army to set up a strict surveillance system. No one was allowed to enter or leave the firearms prison without the personal order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This weapon is so important. If any news leaks out, it will be a devastating disaster for the big man.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to pay attention!

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty returned to Weiyang Palace from the outskirts of Chang'an City, it was already noon. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately sent an order to Wuwei County and asked Weining to take charge of Wuwei County's post-war work.

Wuwei had just been recaptured, and it would not work if there was no one there to organize the overall situation. Originally, Wei Ning was going to continue to follow the large army towards Dunhuang, and finally arrived at Yumen Pass to store the food and grass there.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not let Weining continue to advance westward. Wuwei needed someone to organize the overall situation, so he had to let Weining stay behind. At the same time, he began to discuss with Zhuang Qingzhai and others to arrange personnel transfers to restore the functional order of the local government in Wuwei County.
