I am the carpenter king

.

Spn looked at Xu Guangqi who walked in, Emperor Tianqi and Sun Chengzong were stunned, it was not the hale and hearty old man who appeared in front of them, but a worker who seemed to have just come down from the quarry.The clothes on his body were tattered and dirty, his face was black and white, and his hair and beard were messy.

There is another person behind Xu Guangqi. This person looks similar to Xu Guangqi, and his face is also the same.But this one is much younger, and I can't see what it looks like now.

"Your Majesty Xu Guangqi, long live my emperor!" Coming to the center of the hall, Xu Guangqi quickly lifted up his clothes and knelt down on the ground, saying loudly.

Emperor Tianqi hurried to Xu Guangqi's side, helped Xu Guangqi up with both hands, and said rather unhappy: "Xu Aiqing, I have already said that you can avoid this great gift."

"Back to the emperor, I have been at the Huangzhuang all the time, and I rarely have the opportunity to see the emperor. If I salute like the emperor, it is really a violation of my duty to be a minister." Xu Guangqi stood up with the support of Emperor Tianqi, quite embarrassed He smiled awkwardly and said with some embarrassment. [

Emperor Apocalypse glanced at Xu Guangqi, then at the young man kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "What's your name?"

"Dodge, student Sun Yuanhua." Sun Yuanhua didn't raise his head, still touching the ground with his head, and said respectfully.

Listening to Sun Yuanhua's tone, Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, without excitement or fear, it was really not easy.However, Sun Yuanhua said that he was a student, obviously he did not become an official, but he should have a reputation.

Gently waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said softly: "Get up! It's cold on the ground!" He laughed and went to the back of the dragon book case, and sat on his dragon chair.

"Come here, bring a chair for Master Xu!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Chengen.ordered loudly.

At this time, Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi were already greeting each other. The two had met several times. Sun Chengzong was one of the few people who knew what Xu Guangqi was doing.Seeing Xu Guangqi's appearance now, Sun Chengzong knew that this person was similar to himself, but the way of serving the country was different!

He gave a salute to Sun Chengzong, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has met Mr. Sun!"

Sun Chengzong quickly supported Xu Guangqi.He said with a smile: "Master Xu, don't do this, the emperor is not honored by your lord, and I dare not!"

"Master Sun is joking!" Xu Guangqi also knew Sun Chengzong's status and personality, smiled calmly, and said in a brisk tone.

After both of them sat down, Emperor Tianqi said slowly, "Xu Aiqing, what are you doing? How did you make it like this?"

"Back to the emperor, since the last time the emperor said to stop the production of the current artillery, I have been studying the new type of artillery that the emperor said. I just made a little progress. I am working hard to improve." Xu Guangqi wanted to stand up and say , said in a deep voice after being signaled by Emperor Tianqi to sit down.

Sun Chengzong on the side was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect that Emperor Tianqi would improve the production of artillery again, and would develop a new type of artillery.Sun Chengzong still had a fresh memory of the last new type of artillery. The huge artillery that was always erected on the city wall was really too powerful.I used that kind of artillery in the battle of Shenyang City. Is there another more powerful artillery?

Slowly nodded.Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "About Qi Jiguang

After receiving Xu Guangqi's hint, Sun Chengzong realized that this was not a few people discussing things, but a prelude to Emperor Tianqi.After saluting to Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong respectfully said: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the humble minister saluted!"

Seeing Sun Chengzong's embarrassment, Emperor Tianqi suddenly laughed, obviously seeing his teacher like this, no matter what time the students would be secretly happy.

Seeing the playful expression on Emperor Tianqi's face, Sun Chengzong felt even more embarrassed, and sitting on the side seemed to be nothing.

Emperor Tianqi felt that it was almost done, waved his hand gently, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry about it, it's a little thing. I understand that you have a heart to serve the country." He turned his gaze to Xu Guangqi, and said with a smile: "Xu Aiqing , since the husband wants to know, then you can talk to him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi said respectfully, saluting Emperor Tianqi.

Turning his gaze to Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi was about to start talking, and his expression became extremely serious, as if what he was about to start was a very sacred thing.

Sun Chengzong also became serious at this time, sitting upright, with an appearance of listening attentively.

Seeing the looks of the two people, Emperor Tianqi felt very funny at first, but after watching for a while, Emperor Tianqi couldn't laugh anymore.My heart is full of emotion, this is my courtier, the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and it can also be said to be the hope of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the variety and different power of the current artillery, so he ordered you to develop a brand new artillery. This artillery should have a longer range, greater power, and at the same time It has a smaller volume. So everyone in the firearms factory has invested in it. The first step we have to solve is the problem of gunpowder. Only better gunpowder can exert greater power. This idea It was thought up by the emperor, and after checking the classics, I found out that it was recorded in General Qi's book." Xu Guangqi said slowly, and said that he was not very embarrassed here, I don't know if he was lamenting Qi Jiguang's unfair treatment.

On the other hand, Sun Chengzong was fascinated by what he heard, and he admired Emperor Tianqi's talent even more.If you really have such a cannon, you will be even more powerful in training the new army in the future.

After pondering for a while, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "First mix the nitrate charcoal according to the proportion and grind it repeatedly many times to make it into a fine powder. Add an appropriate amount of water or shochu for the second grinding to make Mud. After dried in the shade, crushed and sieved to obtain the finished granular gunpowder. The size of the sieve holes is different, and the obtained gunpowder is also used in different firearms. These are all recorded in General Qi’s book, but The methods and proportions used are very vague, presumably only General Qi knows these things?"

Regarding Sun Chengzong's question, Xu Guangqi nodded with a smile, and said in a proud tone: "Your Excellency is indeed knowledgeable, and General Qi will not describe it in such detail. Xiaguan and others have conducted many experiments based on the records in the book. I probably figured out how to use this kind of gunpowder. Later, when General Qi Jin came to the capital, the subordinate officials approached General Qi privately and asked about artillery. Now the use of granular gunpowder , there is no major problem."

Sun Chengzong had to sigh in his heart that Xu Guangqi was worthy of being a talent in firearms, and it was not without reason that Emperor Tianqi valued him so much.Nodding slowly, Sun Chengzong Xu Guangqi continued.

After pondering for a while, Xu Guangqi said once again: "The artillery trial-produced this time is divided into two types, one is a small artillery suitable for two carrying. The other is an improved Frankie cannon. Your Excellency should We know that the rate of fire of the Frankie Cannon is much faster than that of the Yi Cannon, but the range is much worse. The largest Frankie cannon has a range of only four miles, and it is huge, so it is not easy to shoot. Handling. The Frankie cannon that I want to improve this time, firstly, to reduce its size, and secondly, to extend its range to be similar to that of the barbarian cannon."

Listening to Xu Guangqi's words, Sun Chengzong was completely stunned. (to be continued...)
