Chapter 1384

However, after being happy for a long time, Su Dongpo thought of something more important. "Your Majesty, but now is not the time for us to celebrate the victory, I'm afraid that next, those ministers in the court will have trouble again......"

"What kind of trouble can there be?" Wang Yang pursed his lips and said disapprenantly. "Su Xiang doesn't have to worry too much. After all, this is because my Great Song Dynasty is grateful for the grace of my Great Song Dynasty, and in order to show their allegiance to my Great Song Dynasty, they specially contributed the land of the Liaodong Peninsula to my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"I'm a big Song smile, why not?"

Seeing Wang Yang standing tall and eloquent, Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, stroked his palms and laughed thoughtfully.

"That's right, Wang Wushan is right, Su Qing's family should not be too worried, the Liaodong Peninsula is owned by my Great Song Dynasty, which is a great joy, will those ministers still attack the heroes because of this? I want to see who dares to do such dirty things that relatives and enemies are happy to do. ”

"Your Majesty." Wang Daguan hurriedly threw a sycophant. "It is really the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty and the blessing of all the people that the ministers can get a wise lord like Your Majesty."

"The Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji once said: 'I win the king of Wushan, better than 100,000 tigers'. If you want me to say, I can win Wang Qing and 200,000 tigers, so that I can be just right......"

Seeing that Wang Yang and Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, were touting each other without skin and face, Rao is Su Dongpo and Zhang Qi are both old men who have been in the sea for a long time, but they still give them goosebumps all over the place because of their brazenness.

"Well, it's nice to be young...... Isn't it? In the end, Su Dongpo, the No. 1 map cannon of the Great Song Dynasty, finally resisted the idea of complaining, and depicted the two young cheeky people in front of him in a more euphemistic way.

"Hmm...... Who hasn't been young, bah, the old man means that it is really better than the blue. Zhang Qi felt that the first sentence that Su Dongpo, the old driver, said, was clearly saying that no one had been shameless, but in fact, he was a righteous gentleman who read poetry and books, and he was definitely not so brazen.

"Cut two grids of the lead, reload ......"

"The lead cut is two squares, and the loading is complete!"

"Elevation angle five ......"

"Elevation angle five complete!"

"Ready to shoot! Preparation! Put! ”

As soon as the order was given, an orange-red fire flashed from the muzzle of the cast-iron cannon, and then billowing choking smoke poured out.

Soon, at the location of the target range for about a mile and a half, a continuous roar echoed.

This is the No. 1 test artillery range, and not far from it, is the No. 2 test artillery field, where there are still guns of the same specification and caliber, but the shells loaded by the artillerymen at this moment are a little different.

It was not a slightly oval, conical-shaped flowering projectile, but a cylindrical cannonball, which, after being loaded, followed by the roar and waving of the commander's flag.

The barrel of the cannon slumped back slightly, and the nozzle spewed out the same orange-red and thick smoke. In an instant, countless dummies as close as ten zhang and as far as fifty zhang were draped in leather armor and a small amount of iron, just like the rice fields ravaged by the storm, and most of them fell down.

Seeing such a drawing, Zhao Xu, who came from Weifu, and several military generals also put down their hands that were blocking their ears, and their faces were full of shock.

Soon, someone walked to the shooting range and placed the scarecrows in leather armor and iron plaques in front of the Son of Heaven.

It can be clearly seen that both leather armor and those iron pieces that can be used to forge iron armor have completely penetrated holes on their surfaces.

"If this thing hits the body, I'm afraid there will be no way to live at all." Di Yong gasped and kept shaking his head. It's like suddenly committing a sheep's madness.

Even if it is those leather armor and iron scarecrows fifty zhang away, the leather armor is still a hole, the iron piece is better, in some places, it is just a depression, but there are still many places that are pierced, that is to say, at a distance of 100 zhang, the power of this shotgun still has deadly.

Seeing the reactions of these Great Song military bigwigs, Wang Daguan was very satisfied, took a rather heavy shotgun shell from the ammunition pile next to him, and signaled to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, this is the power of the shotgun, although its range is far inferior to that of the flowering bullet and the solid bullet, but when fighting at close range, in the face of the enemy's group charge, or in a dense formation, its lethality will become extremely terrifying. It can be said that within a hundred steps, there will be no living creatures. ”

The Son of Heaven stretched out his hand and took it, only to notice that the two cross-sections of the iron shotgun shell were somewhat different, one side was cast as a whole, and the other side was just sealed with a thin piece of wood.

Wang Yang used a dagger to pry open the thin piece of wood, and as soon as he fell to the ground, he saw countless projectile-shaped iron balls the size of fingers rolling out of it.

"With this thing, then, the Yuanyou Shenwei Cannon can be said to be both long-range and close-range, and it is indeed worthy of being a weapon of the country developed by Lord Wang's painstaking blood......" Wang Hou squatted down, picked up a projectile and weighed it in his hand, the weight was not heavy, after all, there were more than a hundred projectiles poured out of this shotgun shell.

"If an enemy comes to invade our Great Song City, when the city is being attacked, if you load this ammunition with Yuanyou Shenwei Cannon and shoot it down, I am afraid that one shot will kill 100 people." An old general said with a sigh.

And the picture he depicted made these Song Dynasty military bigwigs present deeply impressed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty, there is also a short-barreled cannon, as well as cannonballs, which were designed by Weichen personally for the navy of my Great Song Dynasty......" Wang Yang smiled and threw out a new thing.

"Navy, navy can also load this thing on a warship to launch a defeat enemy?" A cadre of generals, including the Son of Heaven, were a little stunned.

"Of course, after the minister designed this Yuanyou Shenwei cannon, he has been thinking that since it has such power in land warfare, then, my Great Song Dynasty has tens of thousands of miles of coastal defense from north to south."

"And my Great Song Dynasty is prosperous in maritime trade, and countless maritime merchants come and go from the south to the north, and I don't know how much tax I earn for my Great Song Dynasty, but there is a big problem, there are many maritime merchants and many pirates."

"Moreover, the breeding of pirates can easily make those maritime merchants who come and go from the south to the north fearful, so the inland river divisions and coastal navies of our Great Song Dynasty are mostly faced with those bandits and thieves."

"Especially on the seas, those pirates run rampant, and not only plundered the people's property, but also plundered the ships and drove the crews into slavery."

The maritime trade of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely developed, but at the same time, the Great Song Dynasty did not pay much attention to the construction of the navy, which also led to a large number of pirates breeding and madness, and the merchant ships could only form a team to protect themselves, if they encountered a small group of pirates, it was okay, if they encountered such a strong pirate, the only thing the merchant ships in the group could do was to raise their sails and run as far as they could.

As long as he can outrun most of the ships in the merchant fleet, then he can escape, after all, pirates will not be wiped out, most of them will only seek wealth rather than life, after all, if no one runs the sea trade, then their gang of pirates will not lose the meaning of survival?
