Chapter 521 Emperor Wei is still waiting for his good news
The next day.
early morning.
Imperial Palace, Yeting Palace.
As soon as Qin Yu arrived, he found that there were obviously many more guards today than yesterday.
Not far away.
Zhao Fusheng, the lieutenant general of Yu Lin in the Yeting Palace, is arranging tasks for several captains.
Qin Yu waved, "General Zhao..."
Looking at Qin Yu.
Zhao Fusheng ran over in a hurry, his eyes full of respect, and he bowed and said: "Prince-in-law, please give me your orders."
Zhao Fusheng respected and was grateful to Qin Yu.
Without Qin Yu's promotion, he would not be where he is today.
Qin Yu nodded slightly and asked, "What's going on in Yeting Palace? Is there a thief? Why are there so many more guards?"
Zhao Fusheng hurriedly explained: "His Majesty sent a decree last night, saying that a telescope workshop will be built in the Yeting Palace. This is a military secret. I am afraid it will be leaked, so I have strengthened the overall security of the Yeting Palace and the workshop.
guard."
Qin Yu was stunned, but he didn't expect that Emperor Wei's movements were quite fast.
Nowadays, Yeting Palace can be said to be the most heavily guarded place in the palace. There is a post every three steps, a sentry every five steps, and there are many hidden sentries, so not even a fly can fly in.
Not only that, Emperor Wei also placed a large number of powerful officials in the Yeting Palace.
Nowadays, even Emperor Wei's palace does not have as many guards as Yeting Palace. One can imagine how much Emperor Wei valued the various workshops in Yeting Palace.
In fact, telescopes are indeed very important in this era and have strong strategic significance. It is understandable that Emperor Wei was so cautious and strengthened protection.
Qin Yu nodded and said thoughtfully: "Okay, I know, this is a good thing. You have more and more subordinates, but the responsibilities on your shoulders are also getting bigger and bigger. You understand the importance of Yeting Palace to the Wei Dynasty.
We must take strict precautions to avoid any mistakes.”
Zhao Fusheng had a resolute look on his face, bowed his head and said: "I will finally understand, and I will follow the teachings of my Prince Consort."
Qin Yu nodded, "Okay, go and do your work."
Then Qin Yu went to the telescope processing workshop.
I have to say that Emperor Wei's efficiency was still very high, and he mobilized manpower overnight.
After Qin Yu made a monocular telescope and a hand-held binoculars in Yeting Palace, he went directly to Huide Palace.
Emperor Wei is still waiting for good news from him today.
...
Royal Palace.
Huide Hall.
Outside the palace.
The Emperor of Wei, Lu Liangping, Minister of Industry, Jiang Honglang, Minister of War, Yu Linwei, commander-in-chief Meng Zhan, Xiao Nan, Qin Yu, and several other generals in Beijing gathered together.
There are several monoculars and binoculars placed on the table.
Everyone looked at the telescope on the table, eager to see through it.
They naturally knew the purpose of Emperor Wei summoning them here today. They all knew that the Prince Consort had developed a Zhulong Type 1 telescope that could look at the moon.
full moon.
This word is so sacred to them. It is almost not something that ordinary people can touch. The telescopes Qin Yu developed are not for looking, but for spying.
Xiao Nan was also surprised and couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. Yesterday, he just had a small thought.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yu would research everything today.
For Qin Yu, Xiao Nan really admired him. He was truly astonishing.
Qin Yu picked up the monocular telescope and monocular telescope on the table, "These are the Zhulong II telescope and the Zhulong III telescope. Compared with the Zhulong I telescope, their observation distance is definitely not that long.
, but it is compact and easy to carry, so it has strong strategic significance, especially in wartime, as it can provide scouts with a clearer vision to better observe the enemy's situation."
Listen to Qin Yu's explanation.
Yulinwei General Meng Zhan, Youwuwei General Zhao Jing, and Jiang Honglang were all extremely excited.
For the scouts, this can really be described as an artifact.
Emperor Wei looked at Qin Yu, his eyes filled with relief, "Son-in-law, can you let me have a try?"
Qin Yu nodded, "Of course."
Afterwards, Meng Zhan, Zhao Jing and Lu Liangping rushed over.
When everyone looked into the distance through the telescope, although they had been prepared in their hearts, they were still shocked.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't be able to believe that there was such a magical thing in this world.
"Oh my God! This... this is clairvoyance! The scouts are hiding on the top of the mountain and using this thing to observe the enemy's situation. Even if the enemy scratches their heads, they still can't catch them!"
"That's right. From now on, not only scouts, but people from the intelligence department can also use telescopes to observe from a distance, and they don't have to worry about being discovered!"
"You can build several high towers in the palace and set up telescopes on the high towers. Then you can have a panoramic view of the entire palace!"
"The Prince Consort is really amazing. Just... using just a few pieces of glass, he was able to develop such magical clairvoyance. It's really like turning stone into gold!"
...
Everyone marveled at the clairvoyance of the telescope, and at the same time marveled at Qin Yu's talent.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really couldn't believe that there was such a magical thing in the world.
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Wei laughed loudly, his face full of pride, "How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I? I said that the telescope developed by the Prince Consort can look at the moon and stars, what else can't be achieved?"
Emperor Wei said it very impressively, as if he had researched this thing.
Lu Liangping and everyone nodded.
Jiang Honglang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the telescope needs to be produced as soon as possible and then spread to all armies, so that the scouts of each army can become familiar with its use as soon as possible."
Emperor Wei nodded, "This is natural, but although the telescope is good, it is easy to lose. This is a strategic material, so confidentiality must be done well."
"The scouts from each army will be mobilized for training, and then only the selected elites with clean foundations can be equipped with telescopes, and the rest will not be given out."
Zhao Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please also give it to generals above the fourth rank. It will be helpful for the generals to command the battle during the battle."
Emperor Wei thought for a while, nodded and said: "What Zhao Aiqing said makes sense, then I will do as you wish. Generals of rank four or above can equip them, but there is one thing. The telescope is always there, and I will take good care of it. If anyone loses it,
Dispose of it according to military law."
Emperor Wei valued these monopolies very highly.
If there is no monopoly, the value of these things will be greatly reduced.
Jiang Honglang bowed his head and said: "I accept the order, and then distribute it to the number of people counted according to the statistics of each army."
Meng Zhan said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, we... our Yulin Guards also need it. The secret sentry has a telescope, so we can maximize its effect!"
