After Kang Wang Zhao Gou heard the urgent shouts of the throwing hands protecting him,
He woke up immediately and looked at the smoking grenade in his right hand without daring to hesitate.
Zhao Gou's waist was slightly arched backward, and his right arm, which was ready to go, was suddenly thrown forward...
The grenade, which was smoking, was thrown forward at an angle of approximately 45 degrees.
Zhao Gou didn't dare to look at the grenade he threw flying into the air.
He immediately remembered the methods taught to him by the two throwers around him to avoid the damage caused by grenade explosions.
Zhao Gou quickly turned aside and jumped into the half-man deep pit in the grenade throwing test site.
He quickly lay down in the pit^
At this time, Zhao Ji, who was standing on the high platform to watch the battle, breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing Zhao Gou's performance.
It seems that our extremely lucky Ninth Prince Zhao Gou succeeded in throwing the grenade.
Zhao Ji saw that the grenade thrown by Zhao Gou drew a perfect arc in the air and landed on the open space twenty-five or six steps in front of Zhao Gou.
Zhao Ji knew that Zhao Gou, who had not had long-term training in throwing grenades, was still the first to throw live ammunition with the strength he possessed at the age of less than fourteen years old. His ability to throw such a far distance was already beyond that of many ordinary people.
The grenade was in the open space and smoked for only a second before it exploded with a "boom".
Black smoke filled the air, and debris and dirt flew everywhere.
At the same time, Prince Zhao Huan, who was being led by Li Ji and had almost reached the throwing field, heard the explosion of the grenade. He trembled with fright and almost fell to the ground.
King Yun Zhao Kai is slightly better.
However, he saw that his ninth brother Kang Wang Zhao Gou had already thrown the grenade first, seizing the opportunity. This made him jealous, and he felt the sour smell coming from his nostrils and entering his heart and lungs...
Zhao Kai said angrily: "Prince, by doing this, the ninth brother has made a big splash in front of my father!"
The sudden explosion made Prince Zhao Huan tremble with fear...
After the explosion stopped, Zhao Huan had to ease his fear a little. After he heard the provocative words of King Yun Zhao Kai, he didn't take it seriously and said with a bitter smile:
"Third brother, if my father doesn't let Gu Lai throw such a dangerous grenade, then just let the ninth brother take the limelight!"
"Alas!" King Yun Zhao Kai sighed. He looked at the cowardly and unmotivated prince next to him and was speechless for a while...
Zhao Kai was very dissatisfied with the prince occupying the position of the East Palace for a long time.
He often complained in his heart, why couldn't I have been born a few years earlier, one or two years older than Zhao Huan? In that case, with my talents in both civil and military affairs and my father's love for me the most, at that time, the East Palace
How could the position of prince fall to another family?
…
At this time, Zhao Gou's first grenade was a complete success!
Zhao Gou happily stood up from the pit and jumped out of the pit.
He held on to the half-man-high protective wall in front of him and looked at the tragic scene where the grenade he threw landed.
Zhao Gou saw that the grenade landing point twenty-five or six steps ahead had been blasted out into a pit like a cauldron.
He exclaimed: "My father is so wise and wise! How could my father research and design such a powerful grenade? It's incredible!"
The two throwers responsible for protecting Zhao Gou immediately flattered:
"The Zhao Guan family is wise, martial, and wise!"
"Kang Wang is also young and mature, and his bravery is extraordinary!"
"My subordinates are so impressed that I am so impressed!"
…
The young man Zhao Gou smiled slightly, followed his father's example, stretched out his hand, and gently patted the shoulders of the two throwers responsible for protection.
Zhao Gou said with a smile: "I can learn to throw grenades, and I have to thank you two!
You two tell me your names,
Next time I come to the training ground outside the firearms manufacturing workshop to practice throwing grenades, I will bring you some gifts.
Moreover, I have found two of you to teach me."
The two throwers who were protecting King Kang were immediately surprised and hurriedly knelt down, reported their names, and thanked him.
The young King Kang is very good at winning over people.
He always smiled and seemed very approachable.
Zhao Kai personally helped the two men up...
At this time, Prince Zhao Huan and King Yun Zhao Kai came to Zhao Gou's side.
Zhao Gou smiled slightly and saluted the two royal brothers with cupped fists...
The two throwers protecting Zhao Gou hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and said:
"I'm going to meet the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Yun..."
Young Zhao Gou clasped his fists and said calmly: "I welcome the two royal brothers to the throwing field."
Prince Zhao Huan and King Yun both nodded slightly.
At this time, Zhao Gou could not conceal his joy after successfully throwing the grenade, and said excitedly:
"The grenade designed by my father is really powerful!
However, as long as you master the throwing method, it is actually very safe for the pitcher..."
Prince Zhao Huan was still in shock. Faced with the Ninth Emperor's indifferent statement, he really couldn't agree with it.
King Yun Zhao Kai sighed in his heart: Xiao Jiuer, you are the first to successfully throw a grenade. You have already grabbed the spotlight, and you are still saying these sarcastic words in front of me?!
He was angry and complained to Zhao Gou:
"Ninth brother, you are brave and brave! You successfully threw the grenade first, but you made the prince and the king look timid in front of my father!"
"Alas!" Prince Zhao Huan sighed. After hearing Zhao Kai's words, he nodded with deep understanding.
Zhao Gou saw that the two royal brothers were not very friendly towards him. He originally planned to go to the viewing platform and accompany his father.
However, he then thought about it. If he did that, wouldn't it be inconsistent with the courtesy of 'brothers, friends and brothers' respect that his father always liked?
The young Zhao Gou was shameless and said respectfully, regardless of the ugly expressions on the faces of the two royal brothers, the Crown Prince and Prince Yun:
"My little brother is here to cheer for the two royal brothers! The two royal brothers will definitely be able to successfully throw the grenade!"
When Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai saw that Zhao Gou wanted to stay with them, they had no way to force the Nine Emperors away...
At this time, Zhao Kai bowed to Prince Zhao Huan, clasped his fists, and saluted:
"In order of eldest and youngest, I respectfully invite my royal brother to throw first!"
After he finished saying this, he glanced sideways at King Kang Zhao Gou who was standing next to the prince.
Zhao Huan quickly waved his hand and said: "Brother Wei, let's watch the third brother throw the grenade first! Brother Wei must learn how to operate it and then try it again."
Please third brother vote first!"
Zhao Kai smiled slightly and said:
"Little brother, I obey!"
…
At this time, Zhao Ji, who was standing on the high platform watching the battle,
Although I couldn't hear clearly the conversation between the three princes in the throwing practice field ahead,
However, he saw their polite behavior towards each other from a distance.
There is deep meaning in Zhao Ji's smile.
In fact, he knew that the three princes, although they appeared to be brothers and sisters, were actually very different from each other and had their own agendas.
However, Zhao Ji likes to watch the competition between princes, so that they can quickly promote their respective growth and progress.
As long as the competition between the princes is within the controllable range, and each of them wants to claim credit and favor in front of me, the benefits of this are:
First, it can play a role in checking and balancing the power of each prince, which is beneficial to me;
Secondly, if there is competition among the princes, they can really win over a great general. If someone is as heroic as King Qin Li Shimin and has great talents and strategies, it will be beneficial to the country. I also agree!
However, Zhao Ji felt that the possibility of cultivating heroes like Li Shimin was almost zero no matter how hard he tried to train the princes left behind by his lord Song Huizong!
However, I would be very happy if I could cultivate one or two princes who are slightly better than the group of princes from the Kingdom of Jin who are good at conquering and fighting.
…
At this time, King Yun Zhao Kai stretched out his hand, pointed at the two throwers who had just taught Zhao Gou how to throw grenades, and said: "I will choose you two to teach Zhao Gou how to throw grenades.
If you two don't use all your abilities to teach me, you will be severely punished!"
When the two throwers taught Kang Wang Zhao Gou, the young Zhao Gou was polite to them.
Unexpectedly, His Highness Prince Yun would speak unkindly to them.
However, they did not dare to refute anything, and immediately knelt down and vowed:
"A villain must try his best to teach."
"The villain will definitely use all his strength to teach His Highness King Yun."
King Yun Zhao Kai nodded arrogantly and said: "You two are equal and follow me."
"As ordered..."
At this time, the firearms manufacturer Chen Gui came forward and told the two throwers that they must teach King Yun the throwing skills well and protect His Highness King Yun without making any mistakes.
The two obeyed...
The two throwing hands secretly compared themselves, and King Yun and King Kang already had a score in their minds regarding their attitudes...
However, the two of them really didn't dare not teach King Yun Zhao Kai seriously.
Zhao Kai, the King of Yun, who was both civil and military, was a man of great talent and intelligence.
The two throwers only taught King Yun the skill of throwing grenades once, and Zhao Kai had already memorized everything they said, word for word.
What King Yun Zhao Kai regrets most is that at that moment when he was on the high platform watching the battle, why did he hesitate for a moment?
In front of my father, who always dotes on me, I did not dare to be the first to step forward and apply to throw a grenade, but my ninth brother Zhao Gou took the lead!
At this time, Zhao Kai walked into the throwing field and observed the surrounding and front throwing areas.
Through the explanations of the two throwers who taught throwing techniques, he already knew that the farther the grenade could be thrown, the better, and the safer it would be for the person throwing the grenade.
Zhao Kai smiled slightly and said secretly: "I am not only the number one scholar in the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty, but I also like bowing, horse riding, shooting and other weapons, and my arm strength is extraordinary.
Although I did not throw the grenade first in front of my father,
However, I must throw farther than Xiao Zhao Gou, who is not yet fourteen years old, in order to get back a round."
Thinking of Zhao Kai's luck here, he followed the instructions of the two throwers and made all the preparations before throwing the grenade.
At this time, Zhao Kai held a grenade in his right hand, and quickly unscrewed the safety iron cover at the lower end of the grenade with his left hand. Then, without any hesitation, he pulled the ring exposed under the grenade with his left hand.
"呲呲呲......"
"Let's go!" Zhao Kai shouted, his waist and right arm suddenly exerted force at the same time, and he threw the smoking grenade with all his strength.
It followed a trajectory tilted at an angle of about 45 degrees, drew a perfect arc in the sky, and flew quickly into the distance...
After King Yun Zhao Kai threw the grenade, he felt in his heart:
Stable!
With this vigorous throw, I will definitely be able to throw the grenade much further than my ninth brother, Xiao Zhao Gou.
King Yun could predict that after he threw it such a long distance, he would be very safe even if he stood here even if he didn't move.
However, he still followed the grenade-throwing technique he had just learned, quickly jumped into the pit next to him, and then lay down in the pit.
The two throwers responsible for protecting King Yun Zhao Kai both marveled in their hearts:
Although His Royal Highness Prince Yun is a bit arrogant, it is extremely rare for a person like him who is throwing a grenade for the first time to be able to perform such a perfect technical move!
While they secretly admired him in their hearts, they also followed King Yun Zhao Kai and jumped into the pit to protect King Yun.
At this time, Zhao Ji, who was standing on the high platform to watch the battle, also saw the perfect performance of King Yun Zhao Kai when throwing grenades, and couldn't help laughing happily:
"Very good!"
Zhao Ji saw that the grenade thrown by Zhao Kai drew a perfect parabola in the air and was thrown to the ground about fifty steps away.
There was a loud "boom" sound.
At the same time, the broken Trojans and dummies in the explosion area suffered again, being blown to pieces and flying into the air...
Zhao Kai climbed up from the pit, looked at the two defensive throwers beside him, and asked proudly:
"Let's see if I, the king, can throw grenades better than King Kang?"
"Huh?!" The two throwers were speechless for a moment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two of them immediately looked forward, and sure enough they saw the place where the grenade thrown by King Yun Zhao Kai exploded, and there was still smoke.
They estimated the distance and found it was fifty steps away!
The two of them couldn't help but clicked their tongues. The distance that King Yun Zhao Kai threw a grenade for the first time was comparable to the best throwers (the two of them) in the firearms manufacturing workshop who specialized in experimenting with the explosive effects of grenades!
Although they saw that King Yun's attitude towards them was not one-tenth as benevolent and friendly as King Kang, they did not dare to be disrespectful to King Yun at all.
They both had no choice but to praise King Yun:
"His Royal Highness King Yun's movements when throwing grenades are perfect! I admire him very much!"
"His Royal Highness, King Yun, is born with divine power. He can throw the grenade further than we, the excellent throwers who often experiment with throwing grenades! We are ashamed of ourselves!"
"Hmph!" Zhao Lang, the king of Yun, snorted angrily, straightened his face, and shouted angrily: "You are avoiding the important and taking the easy, and you dare not answer my king's question directly! What crime should you do?"
The two throwers were so frightened that they immediately knelt down in front of the arrogant King Yun Zhao Kai, kowtowed repeatedly and said:
"The villain is guilty, please forgive me, King Yun!"
Zhao Kai was still angry and asked again:
"Let's see if I, the king, can throw grenades better than King Kang?"
The two throwers who originally wanted to avoid talking about King Kang had no choice but to succumb to King Yun's power and praised him:
"His Royal Highness King Yun's movements when throwing grenades were perfect, and his evasive movements when he fell into the pit were smooth and flowing...His Royal Highness King Yun is naturally much stronger than His Highness Prince Kang!"
"His Royal Highness King Yun can throw grenades much further than those of us who have thrown them hundreds of times.
The distance that His Highness Prince Yun can throw a grenade is fifty steps away.
As for His Highness Prince Kang, he only threw it a mere twenty steps away.
Make a decision!
His Royal Highness Prince Yun is much better at throwing grenades than His Royal Highness Prince Kang!"
"Huh!" After Zhao Kai heard what these two experienced throwers said impartially, he let out a breath of bad breath that had been suppressed by his ninth brother Zhao Gou for half a year.
Zhao Kai said coldly to the two throwers: "For the sake of you two telling the truth, I forgive you and others for being innocent. Get up!"
Don’t reveal even a single word of what I say or ask to anyone!”
"I obey, little one!"
"Thank you, His Highness King Yun, for your forgiveness!"
The two throwers got up from the ground in panic.
At this time, King Yun Zhao Kai jumped out of the pit and turned towards the rear where Prince Zhao Huan, King Kang Zhao Gou, Chen Gui, Li Ji and others were in the distance.
The firearms manufacturer Chen Gui and his deputy Li Ji saw King Yun throwing grenades from a distance. They were also very shocked that King Yun was not only knowledgeable and memorized, but also so smart that he had such good arm strength and could handle grenades.
Throw it so far.
Chen Gui and Li Ji saw King Yun coming towards them. They greeted him from a distance and each said a few words of praise...
King Yun Zhao Kai was proud of the spring breeze and helped Chen Gui and Li Ji up with his own hands with a smile.
Zhao Kai's proud eyes fell on the young Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou's calm gaze met his third brother's scorching gaze.
Zhao Gou nodded slightly, withdrew his gaze, then immediately stepped forward, cupped his fists and congratulated:
"Third brother, who is both civil and military, can throw grenades so far, I am ashamed of myself!"
"Hahaha!" King Yun Zhao Kai laughed and said, "Ninth brother is still young. When he grows up to be as big as my brother, he will naturally be able to throw it further!"
After he said these playful words, he saw that his performance was indeed much better than that of Xiao Jiu and Zhao Gou, and he felt instantly happy.
At this time, Prince Zhao Huan was nervous, took Zhao Kai's arm and said:
"Third brother, you have such great skills. Can you go forward with me and throw the grenade?"
Zhao Kaipi smiled but said:
"Brother Imperial, I naturally want to throw grenades with Brother Imperial, but my father is watching us three brothers from the high platform in the back.
As the prince, my brother should behave bravely in front of my father. You can't do this!"
"Alas!" Prince Zhao Huan sighed and said helplessly: "In this case, I have no choice but to go forward alone and give it a try?!"
Firearms manufacturing envoy Chen Gui and deputy envoy Li Ji immediately kowtowed to the prince and said:
"According to the wishes of the Zhao Guan family, His Highness the Crown Prince can choose two experienced grenade throwers to accompany him."
Zhao Huan nodded hurriedly and said with a trembling voice:
"Thank you to the two makers. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten it!
Chen Aiqing, Li Aiqing please get up quickly."
Chen Gui and Li Ji thanked each other and stood up.
Zhao Huan pointed at the two throwers who had just protected King Kang Zhao Gou and King Yun Zhao Kai, and said:
"You two are rich in experience, so I'll leave you alone!"
After the two throwers were named by the prince, their faces looked like they had eaten bitter gourds. Before, when they were protected by King Kang and Zhao Gou, they felt pretty good. They even expected that King Kang would give them to them the next time he came here to practice throwing grenades.
What gifts did you two bring...
However, after they had just protected King Yun Zhao Kai, they felt that 'accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and accompanying a king is like accompanying a wolf'!
However, the prince personally asked them to protect him, so they had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow, saying:
"I obey the order. I am honored to be favored by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Young man, you obey. We will teach the prince how to throw grenades. We will sacrifice our lives to protect the prince."
Although Prince Zhao Huan heard the promises of the two throwers, he was still very nervous. With his legs trembling, he walked up to the two men, helped them up with his own hands, and murmured:
"It's up to you, Erqing!"
Firearms manufacturing made Chen Gui step forward and gave numerous instructions to the two throwers who were selected three times to be responsible for teaching and protection, asking them to protect His Highness the Crown Prince...
The two throwing hands also knew that the person they were about to teach them how to throw grenades and protect them was the crown prince of the Song Dynasty!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Don’t make any mistakes!
…
At this time, Zhao Ji, who was standing on the high platform watching the battle, leaned on the railing and looked towards Prince Zhao Huan.
Although he was not clear about the conversation between the prince and others,
However, by watching their actions, he could also analyze that the prince was really afraid of what I told them to do by throwing grenades to practice their courage!
This makes Zhao Ji, a time traveler, recall some of the records about Zhao Huan he read in "History of the Song Dynasty" before he time traveled...
In history, Zhao Huan was indeed very cowardly and lacked courage. Before the Jin army went south to besiege Kaifeng City in Tokyo for the first time, the original owner of my body, Song Huizong, was so frightened that he hurriedly abdicated the throne to the prince Zhao Huan.
However, Zhao Huan heard that the Tiger and Wolf Division of the Jin Army had crossed the river and headed straight for the capital. At this time, his father gave him the Zen throne.
Zhao Huan was unwilling to be the hot-handed emperor at a time when the country was in danger of life and death. According to historical records, when Zhao Huan heard that his father wanted to give him the Zen throne, he was so frightened that he cried and fainted several times...
At this time, Zhao Ji, who was standing on the high platform, saw the prince's timidity as he prepared to throw a grenade from a distance, and was very angry!
Zhao Ji secretly thought: "When the prince is as timid as Zhao Huan, there are not many people in ancient and modern times who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, right?"
It’s true that mud can’t hold up the wall!”
At this time, Liang Shicheng, the eunuch who was next to Zhao Guan's family, secretly saw Zhao Guan's expression of displeasure. He looked forward again and saw that Prince Zhao Huan was dilly-dallying inside without preparing to throw a grenade;
Liang Shicheng, who was good at observing words and colors and guessing the holy will, immediately understood why Zhao Guanjia was worried about something with his frown.
Liang Shicheng asked softly in a low voice:
"Officials, how about I come down from the stage and urge His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Zhao Ji waved his hand and said coldly:
"Sir Liang, no need! I want to see how long it will take for the prince to throw a small hand grenade I designed."
"Old slave, I obey the order." Liang Shicheng said solemnly and obeyed the order.
He asked with concern again: "Guan family, why don't you ask me to bring a chair for the officials to sit on?!"
"No need!" Zhao Ji's eyes were full of anger, staring at the prince Zhao Huan who was still lingering in the distance, without even looking at Liang Shicheng beside him.
…
About three quarters of an hour later, Prince Zhao Huan, who was standing at the grenade throwing field, learned the full set of bomb throwing skills from the two bombardiers six times...
In fact, the two bombardiers were already tired of teaching them.
However, they were intimidated by the supreme majesty of the imperial power. Although they were upset, they were smiling, and they took the trouble to teach His Royal Highness how to throw grenades and how to evade them after taking action...
In fact, Prince Zhao Huan is quite knowledgeable and has a strong memory. He has memorized the methods of throwing grenades taught by the two throwers and the key points of evasion after taking action.
However, what Zhao Huan is most sad about is the obstacle that he fears in his heart.
…
At this time, Zhao Ji, who was standing on the high platform to watch the battle, saw the way Prince Zhao Huan was grinding and moaning, and he really couldn't stand it anymore.
He said to the little official next to him:
"Go down and deliver my instructions to the prince. If you wait a little longer, it will be dark!"
"My little slave obeys the order."
…
The young eunuch conveyed the edict to Prince Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan said: "Thank you, my father-in-law. I have learned the ropes and now I have to throw grenades!"
With a sad look on his face, he picked up a grenade with trembling hands.
Zhao Huan raised his eyes and looked forward, only to see a thick stone wall half a man high and more than ten steps long built three steps in front of him.
Previously, when he heard the two throwers explain to him, they said that the stone wall in front of him was built by Chen Gui, a firearms manufacturer, according to the design of Zhao Guan's family.
This is to prevent the grenade from being thrown far, and this thick stone wall can also block the damage caused by the grenade explosion.
Zhao Huan looked at the thick stone wall three steps away in front of him, feeling a bit more secure in his heart.
He admired: "Father, you think so carefully!"
Zhao Huan felt that no matter how bad he was, how could he throw the grenade over the stone wall three steps away in front of him?!
As long as you can throw it and have two experienced throwers protecting you, your safety factor will be greatly increased.
Although, Zhao Huan gained a little more confidence,
However, he still trembled as he unscrewed the safety cover and pulled off the pull ring of the delay lead.
"Bah..."
Zhao Huan, who was timid by nature, heard the sound of "click" and saw the smoking grenade held in his right hand. He was so frightened that he almost let go...
The two throwers beside the prince who were responsible for protecting his safety shouted:
"Prince, throw it away quickly!"
Zhao Huan no longer wanted to hold this kind of grenade, which was more terrifying than a hot potato. He shook his right arm vigorously and threw the grenade.
However, the prince Zhao Huan was too nervous. Although he just listened to the two experienced throwers explaining the grenade throwing techniques, he felt that he understood it;
However, when it comes to actual operations, he doesn't seem to know how to do it anymore...
When throwing a grenade normally, it is best to keep the hand grenade tilting forward and flying at a 45-degree angle, so that it can be thrown farther.
However, because Prince Zhao Huan was afraid and nervous, when he threw the grenade forward with all his strength, it was thrown forward at an angle of more than 30 degrees...
Zhao Huan was like throwing a grenade in front of his toes...
There was a "ding" sound.
The grenade thrown by Zhao Huan hit the thick stone wall three steps ahead.
Then, the grenade bounced back a step.
"呲呲" The smoking grenade landed two steps in front of the frightened Prince Zhao Huan...
"ah?!"……
"ah?!"……
"ah?!"……
