This cannon is more than three meters long, with a "13.5" in the mouth and a diameter of [-] centimeters. The dark and rough barrel feels quite cold to the touch.
Yang Yi looked at the big guy in front of him with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Have you tested this thing?"
Xue Rengui next to him expressed emotion: "Report to the Prime Minister, try a shot, the power is comparable to Tianwei!"
The rest of the people nodded one after another. Although they were told by Yang Yi that it was extremely powerful at the beginning, they didn't see it with their own eyes and didn't know the details. It wasn't until they fired a cannon themselves that they knew what it meant to shake the earth and shake the earth!
Yang Yi touched his chin, a smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Let the truth try..."
He walked up to the cannon and asked the soldiers to adjust their direction according to his instructions, aiming at a small hill in the distance.
Xue Rengui quickly asked the soldiers to come over with a cannonball and reload the cannon.
"Prime Minister be careful."
He gave Yang Yi the torch.
Yang Yi nodded slightly, then brought the torch closer to the match rope.
Zizi!
The match was ignited.
The rest of the people covered their ears with anticipation.
boom!
A loud cannon sounded.
A puff of smoke filled the air.
A huge shaking sound erupted from the small hill in the distance, and countless gravels were shot out along with the dust.
The earth is shaking!
It's like divine power descended from heaven!
Everyone was shocked.
a while.
Xue Rengui said with emotion: "No matter how many times you look at the power of this cannon, it will sway the general's mind and shock him. It's like the might of God, which is beyond human power!"
Everyone nodded one after another, with shock still remaining on their faces.
For them who have used cold weapons all their lives, the power of the artillery simply shattered their cognition.
This weapon is terrible!
With a smile on his lips, Yang Yi turned around to look at Zhao Yun and the others with a calm but firm tone.
"Pass the order of the truth, let the army mass-produce this magical cannon, at all costs!"
Zhao Yun and the others were shocked, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Prime Minister!"
The corners of Yang Yi's mouth curled up slightly, and the light in his eyes was bright.
He said in a deep voice: "In addition, set up a Shenwu army. In fact, we must see a Shenwu army that can skillfully use artillery as soon as possible!"
All the generals trembled in their hearts, and said respectfully: "Yes, Prime Minister!"
...........
Purple Palace.
Qianyuan Hall.
Yang Yi walked in with a smile.
The Shenwu cannon was successfully developed, so he naturally wanted to report it to the Empress.
This thing can completely become Da Zhou's big killer in the future.
When Shangguan Wan'er saw him, she had a strange expression on her face.
"Wan'er has met the prime minister."
Yang Yi smiled and said, "Where is Your Majesty?"
Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips: "I am reviewing the memorial in the inner hall, the prime minister and Wan'er go in."
After a while.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yang is here..."
Shangguan Wan'er said respectfully.
Wu Zhao was taken aback, she looked up at Yang Yi who was smiling, and suddenly thought of what Wu Shun said to her yesterday, for some reason, she felt inexplicably nervous.
She said calmly, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"
Yang Yi raised his eyebrows, and said with a half-smile: "Your Majesty doesn't welcome me?"
"Can't you come if it's okay?"
Wu Zhao froze, and subconsciously wanted to push back.
But she suddenly thought of what Wushun said yesterday... When a man likes a woman, he likes to tease her and make her angry.
Thinking of this, the anger in my heart disappeared immediately.
She said calmly, "Of course."
Yang Yi was taken aback, he looked at Wu Zhao with some doubts, and muttered in his heart.
Why does the Empress look different today?
No emotional value at all?
Could it be that the way he opened it was wrong?
The corners of Wu Zhao's lips curled up, and he looked at Yang Yi with a half-smile.
"Why does Yang Qing keep staring at me without saying a word?"
Hmph, I've seen through your disguise.
What a "scheming" man!
If you want to pursue me, just be more straightforward, and it's not impossible for me to give you a chance.
Yang Yi didn't have a clue, and said calmly: "Your Majesty looks like a fairy, making me unable to extricate myself, and losing my composure for a while, Your Majesty forgives me."
He just opened his mouth to say this.
It is a natural reaction exercised in the rouge array.
It doesn't matter whether he is telling the truth or not, as long as the girl likes to listen to it.
The corner of the Empress's mouth curled up imperceptibly.
If it was in the past, she would have frowned and reprimanded Yang Yideng's disciple with contempt.
But after what Wu Shun said to her yesterday, her mentality has changed a lot now.
Of course, she was very upset about a courtier who opposed her everywhere, teased her in various ways, and even took the last emperor's will.
But a pillar of the country who admires her so much, pretends to be indifferent, and wants to attract her attention by teasing and teasing, especially when she still has a good impression of this person, her mentality will naturally calm down a lot, even faintly. Some chuckle.
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.
Wu Zhao smiled and said, "No problem..."
Yang Yi: "???"
What's up with the Empress?
Let's put this aside, can't you say that you are glib?
Doesn't even the mood value fluctuate now?
He was lost in thought.
Shangguan Wan'er next to her was speechless.
He used to be called a courtier, but now he is called Yang Qing!
Your Majesty, you are too real...
Yang Yi was silent for a while, then coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have a happy event to tell you."
Wu Zhao raised her phoenix eyebrows, "Say."
Yang Yi pondered: "A while ago, I felt that although the power of muskets was good, it was not enough for me to face a powerful enemy that was several times stronger than our army."
"It's okay to fight against Song State, Qing State, but if you encounter an army like Qin State or Tang State, once the enemy's strength is far superior to ours, our army will be quite difficult even with muskets..."
"That's why Wei Chen developed a new firearm - called Shenwu Cannon!!"
"Now the Military Weapons Supervisor has manufactured the Shenwu Cannon. This Shenwu Cannon, even the hardest stone and the strongest iron gate, will be wiped out!"
"If dozens of cannons are bombarding the mountain, even a mountain will be leveled!"
A trace of astonishment appeared on Wu Zhao's cold and pretty face.
"Yang Qing, are you kidding me?"
"Booming down the mountain? This is the ability only a fairy has!"
Yang Yi said seriously: "Your Majesty, since when did I make a joke?"
Wu Zhao glanced at him sideways, with a firm tone.
"You don't joke much on weekdays?"
"Uh..." The corners of Yang Yi's mouth twitched, the Empress seemed to be speaking right.
He coughed lightly.
"Your Majesty, move around, just go and have a look."
Seeing Yang Yi's affirmation, Wu Zhao was [-]% convinced in his heart.
Although Yang Yi is usually talkative and often makes jokes that make her blush, but in serious matters, she has never lost the chain.
Wu Zhao said in a deep voice, "I'll wait and see."
An hour later.
"Look, Your Majesty, it is this mighty cannon!"
Yang Yi patted the dark and cold barrel.
A hint of surprise appeared in Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes.
She had never seen such a strange weapon.
Yang Yi waved his hand, and a soldier came over carrying shells.
Yang Yi took the cannonball over, weighed the cannonball in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, is it big?"
Wu Zhao said seriously, "Big!"
Her 0.8 heart was full of ups and downs. If such a big shell was hit, people would be turned into ashes directly!
Yang Yi pointed to the Shenwu Cannon again.
"Your Majesty, is my cannon rough?"
Wu Zhao felt that this was a bit weird, but he didn't think too much about it.
"Crude!"
Yang Yi was satisfied, "Your Majesty, do you want to try my cannon?!"
Wu Zhao nodded and said, "Okay."
Her attention is now attracted by this cannon, and she doesn't notice Yang Yi's teasing tone at all.
Shangguan Wan'er next to her was stunned, always feeling that something was wrong.
Yang Yi loaded the cannonball with a smile, took a torch and handed it to Wu Zhao.
"Your Majesty, take it and light the match!"
Wu Zhao took the torch and carefully approached it.
