Confucian and Taoist scholar

"Xiaguan also read countless books and consulted information before researching this drawing. I don't know if it can be successful." Du Ning said.

"For many years, our Ministry of Industry has been studying the use of gunpowder in warfare, but has been unsuccessful because of the lack of a lot of precise data."

King Ji couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked at Du Ning's drawings. Du Ning presented such a great gift just after he came to the Ministry of War, which was a great assist.

He looked at Du Ning and said: "This drawing of yours is very exquisite, and the data displayed is also very complete. If the mysterious cannon you designed can be used, the combat effectiveness of our Yun Kingdom's military will increase tenfold, and even

As big a country as Liao, we in Yun can crush it in terms of military strength."

"This is just Xiaguan's initial design. What kind of power it can have and whether it can be used on the battlefield must be tested." Du Ning said seriously.

"Okay! I will immediately vacate a factory building and then arrange an open space for testing."

King Ji looked at Du Ning with admiration and said with a smile: "Du Ning, you are a talented person. After creating the mysterious cannon, I will definitely give you a great credit. When the imperial court calms down the three-party rebellion, I will ask the emperor to help you."

Created a Marquis."

Only those who have made truly great contributions to the country can obtain the title of marquis. It is not only an honor, but also has many privileges of the court.

If Du Ning relied on his own blueprints to create a mysterious cannon and quelled the chaos among the three parties, then it would be easy for Du Ning to be promoted to Marquis due to such achievements.

Even officials from the Xianwang Party cannot give reasons for their opposition.

It has been a long time since there has been a scholar named a marquis in the Yun Kingdom.

Du Ning said: "Lord Ji King, let's not be too happy. After all, before we successfully build the mysterious cannon, all our ideas are just empty talk. The top priority is to arrange the manpower to build it as soon as possible. If it can be successful, we can follow Yan

The king's troops went to the Western Regions and crushed the grassland tribes."

"You're right, let's do this! I will dispatch the craftsmen from the Ministry of War to build a mysterious cannon according to the drawings, and you will be responsible for supervising it. I will mobilize all the talents from the Ministry of War who can be used for your command. In short, we

We must build a mysterious cannon, only then can we hope to quell the chaos among the three parties."

"I obey." Du Ning nodded lightly.

Three days later.

Prairie Clan Royal Palace.

The returning grassland tribesmen reported to Hu Chiyanhui: "Report to the Khan that the Yun Kingdom refused to negotiate peace with the grassland tribes and had our envoy Tie Yige beheaded in sacrifice to the flag."

"What did you say!"

Hu Chiyan was furious when he heard this. He couldn't believe for a moment that the envoys he sent out would be beheaded by the Yun Kingdom to sacrifice the flag.

The two countries did not kill the envoys during the war, but the Yun Kingdom killed the envoys from the grassland tribe.

This is simply the greatest shame for the grassland people!

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"

"The people from the Yun Kingdom dare to kill my envoy from the Prairie Tribe. What a shame! What a huge shame! This is a shame that the Prairie Tribe has never experienced since the founding of the country!"

"The people of Yun State are simply bullying others too much. If I don't take revenge, I will not be a human being!"

"Enter the capital, capture the Little Cloud Emperor alive, and make him kneel before the Khan and kowtow to admit his mistake!"

"I want to avenge Master Tie Yige! Avenge the shame of our grassland tribe!"

Some of the grassland officials were gnashing their teeth, some were blushing, and some had chests heaving violently.

They think that the grassland people are powerful and the Yun State does not dare to kill their people.

But reality gave them a big slap in the face. Yun State directly killed the grassland tribe’s envoy and used his head to sacrifice the flag.

This is a provocation to the grassland people and a shame to the grassland people.

No prairie man present could bear to have his pride trampled underfoot by the Yun people.

The grassland tribesman continued: "Khan, Xiao Yunhuang also said that he will use all the strength of the country to attack our grassland tribes, and they will not negotiate peace, and this war will continue to the death."

Inside the main hall, the air instantly became as cold as frost.

Some officials even changed their faces, showing expressions of disbelief.

Emperor Hongxuan is so courageous!

It is indeed difficult for the Yun State to fight against three parties at the same time, but the Yun State has the strength and capital to choose to fight to the death with the grassland people, and even die together.

"Arrogant! Little Cloud Emperor is simply contemptuous of our grassland people!"

"Does the Yun State really dare to fight to the death with our grassland people?"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Could it be that Yun Chao would rather destroy the country than destroy the grassland people? I don't believe it!"

The officials of the Prairie Tribe looked ugly. Once Yun Guo really risked his life, they would be able to bite off a large piece of flesh and blood from the Prairie Tribe.

Injure the enemy one thousand, and injure oneself eight hundred.

The grassland people believe that destroying the Yun Kingdom will cost them a lot.

But after that, they started fighting with the barbarians and Xiongnu to seize the Yun Kingdom's territory.

If there is a slight mistake and the success falls short, then the grassland tribe will not only be a shame, but also a joke to the entire Holy Forest Continent.

"Ridiculous! Ignorant! The people of the Yun Kingdom simply underestimate our prairie tribe. They don't even know how powerful our prairie tribe's cavalry is!"

"Wherever our prairie tribe cavalry go, no one can stop us. Even the thousands of troops from the Yun Kingdom cannot be our opponent."

"Yun Guo actually plans to break the pot and die with us? How ridiculous! Who are they? They are so stupid!"

"Since the Yun Kingdom looks down upon our grassland people, then fight! Destroy the Yun Kingdom!"

Another group of grassland officials were full of fighting spirit, their faces full of contempt for the Yun people, and they did not even take the Yun country seriously.

In their view, Yun Guo is just a mantis trying to block the car.

As long as the grassland clan leaders march straight in, the Yun Kingdom will not have the capital to die with them.

Hu Chiyan smiled coldly, feeling that she was provoked by Emperor Hongxuan.

In his eyes, Emperor Hongxuan was just a twelve-year-old child who dared to challenge the grassland people.

If he is not even as good as a child, Hu Chiyan can find a piece of tofu and hit him to death.

"Haha, Xiaoyun Huang's little son dared to declare war with Ben Khan. Ben Khan gave him a chance, but he was so shameless that he beheaded the envoy of our Prairie Tribe and sacrificed it to the flag. This is a shame for our Prairie Tribe.

Even if we devote all our efforts as a country, we must avenge Tie Yige, otherwise what is the national prestige of our prairie tribe? From now on, we prairie people will roam the Holy Forest Continent, won’t we be like pigs and dogs that everyone can kill?”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Hu Chiyan showed her majesty, looking outside the palace, towards the capital of Yun Kingdom, imagining that Emperor Hongxuan was sitting in front of her, with a look of contempt and disdain on her face.

"Come here, pass on this Khan's military order, order Chikuo to lead the troops to attack the twelve cities in the Western Region with all his strength. As long as no Yun people are left behind, and if the sword is not sealed after attacking the city, they can kill as many as they can, even if they are Yun people.

There is no need for the people to be polite."

"Yes!"

The messengers from the grassland tribe immediately went to deliver the order.

"Lord Khan, I am willing to support the prince and kill all the people of Yun Kingdom!"

"And me! The people of Yun State insult our grassland, and everyone will kill them if they get it!"

"I am willing to be the vanguard and pawn of the army, expand the territory for my Khan, and unify the Central Plains!"

Many grassland people asked for tassels, and they were murderous.

"I'm ready to play." Hu Chiyan agreed happily.

…………

Outside the capital city of Yun Kingdom.

Somewhere in a barren mountain.

Under the supervision of Du Ning, after three days and three nights of hard work, the first mysterious cannon was built and five cannonballs were prepared.

There are two wheels installed at the foot of the Xuanji cannon, which can be pushed onto the battlefield manually.

There is also a bracket at the back, which can withstand the recoil force.

This barren mountain has become a testing ground for mysterious cannons.

King Ji led officials from the Ministry of Industry to stand at the rear, and Du Ning ordered the soldiers to load the cannonballs and aim at the cliff hundreds of meters away.

"Ignition."

Du Ning gave an order, and the soldiers lit the fuse, and then covered their ears one by one.

The fuse ignites the cannonball, generating high temperature and pressure in an instant.

"Bang!"

The whole earth shook slightly, a column of white smoke fell into the cliff, and exploded with a "boom".

Debris flew across the entire cliff, and the solid stones were blown apart.

Then there was another "bang", the cliff completely collapsed, and huge rocks rolled down uncontrollably.

With just one shot, almost three-tenths of the cliff hundreds of meters away was blown away.

Amazing power!

Quite amazing!

"Success! We succeeded!"

"The Kingdom of Yun is mighty! The Kingdom of Yun will win!"

"The weapon we have been researching for so many years has finally been created!"

Many officials from the Ministry of Industry were moved to tears.

All the countries in the Holy Forest Continent are studying this kind of weapon, and finally it was the Yun Kingdom that took the lead in successfully developing it.

This is enough for Yun State to bid farewell to the cold weapon era and enter a new era.

This is not only a contribution to the country, but also a contribution to the entire human race.

If the entire human race uses this kind of weapon, all foreign forces will be nothing but chickens and dogs.

Having no sword in your hand and having a sword but not using it are two different things.

"Du Ning, without your exquisite drawings, our Yun Kingdom would not have been able to build the mysterious cannon so smoothly. You have made unparalleled achievements for our Yun Kingdom... no, for the entire human race!"

King Ji faced Du Ning and bowed suddenly, "On behalf of the court and the people, I would like to express my highest gratitude to you. With this mysterious cannon, we will soon be able to put down the three-party rebellion, regain the lost territory, and become the most powerful nation in the human race in one fell swoop."

A big country."

At this moment, he regarded Du Ning as a great contributor to the Yun Kingdom.

As long as you are a meritorious official, you can bear his respect.

Du Ning's achievements are truly unparalleled, and his creation of a mysterious cannon is unprecedented.

King Ji believed that future generations of scholars would be grateful to Du Ning for his contribution in building the cannon, which allowed the human race to move towards a more prosperous path and stand firm on the Sacred Forest Continent for thousands of years.

Such achievements are so great that they will be passed down from generation to generation.

It can be predicted that future generations will use the story of "Du Ning to make a cannon" to inspire readers to work hard.

Who said that the Ministry of Industry is the most hopeless and only knows how to build some tools?

This mysterious cannon will be the pinnacle work that can represent the craftsman!

"I'll thank you, Mr. Du!"

Many officials and soldiers also saluted Du Ning.

They were so happy and excited.

What a mysterious cannon! It was successfully developed by a young man no more than twenty years old. Du Ning is simply the Qilin of the Yun Kingdom!

"You guys can't do this, you're going to disgrace your subordinates."

Du Ning gently helped King Ji up, and then went to help other colleagues.

His expression was not too happy, but unusually serious.

"The Mystery Cannon is still in the testing stage, and we don't know how long a cannon can be used, so we will conduct the next step of testing."

Du Ning continued to instruct everyone to work, "Measure the temperature and material of the barrel to see if there is any damage, and then conduct a second inspection."

"Yes."

Officials acted immediately to record the current data of the mysterious cannon and then continued testing.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Four artillery shells were fired in one breath, blasting a big hole in the entire barren mountain.

Officials tested the Xuanji cannon again and found that there was no damage, but the temperature inside the barrel was very high.

Duning calculated the high temperature generated by the cannonball, so he deliberately used the most high-temperature resistant materials to build the cannon bore.

Through the current test, the performance of the Xuanji cannon is very stable, and it will not be a problem to initially use it in battles.

But Du Ning is not satisfied with such a mysterious cannon.

He needs to continue research and development with scholars from the Ministry of Industry to create better-performing and more powerful mysterious cannons to consolidate the strength of the military.

This requires long-term development.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, the Xuanji Cannon is in normal condition and can be directly used in the battle between the two armies!"

"According to estimates, after about fifteen rounds of shells are fired, the Mysterious Cannon must be allowed to cool down. However, if we build more Mysterious Cannons, we can fight in a wheel battle, and the continuous fire effect can also be achieved."

p>

"His Royal Highness King Ji, I believe that the Xuanji Cannon has achieved preliminary results. If we are given a little more time, we can use better materials to make the Xuanji Cannon and solve its minor problems."

"Starting from today, Yun State officially bids farewell to the cold weapon era, and Yun State's military power will soar into the sky, unstoppable!"

The officials of the Ministry of Industry are full of confidence, extremely confident, unprecedented confidence.

Suppressing the chaos among the three parties is just around the corner!

King Ji was also very happy, "The development of the Mysterious Cannon by the Ministry of Industry is also a great achievement. It will not be a problem for you to gain positions and salary, but we cannot take it lightly. The Mysterious Cannon is of great importance. You must do a good job of keeping it confidential and not easily leak information about it."

Anyone who disobeys any data about the mysterious cannon will be killed."

"We will obey."

The officials from the Ministry of Industry present were all close confidants of King Ji, so naturally they would not reveal such important secrets.

King Ji felt very proud. Thanks to Du Ning, even the Ministry of Industry also benefited from it.

Du Ning said: "As long as we build a hundred mysterious cannons, we can bombard the prairie cavalry unscrupulously. Our Yun State can take this opportunity to train a powerful artillery force. It's just that it is easy to build a mysterious cannon, but it can be mass-produced."

It takes a lot of money."

"Even if we are trying to sell iron, our Ministry of Industry must build a hundred mysterious cannons. Otherwise, our Yun Kingdom army cannot withstand the prairie tribe's cavalry, and I will use all my salary to purchase materials." King Ji said without hesitation.

.

"His Royal Highness King Ji's words are extremely true."

"No matter what, we must rush to build a hundred mysterious cannons and destroy a hundred thousand cavalry of the grassland tribe!"

"No matter how difficult it is, we must do it!"

Officials at the Ministry of Industry are determined.
