Emperor Ming Yan looked at it carefully, and then Yan Shiyue took him to the high platform, handed him a clairvoyant, and put on earplugs for him.
The hillside in front was marked by a flag, and the gunner demonstrated the process from beginning to end, loading, igniting, and launching. He only heard several loud booms, thick smoke billowing, and the ground beneath his feet shook. The hilltop opposite was instantly razed to the ground.
flat ground.
This shocking effect... Emperor Ming Yan was speechless for a long time.
The prince had seen it several times, but he was very calm. He bowed with a smile and said: "Congratulations to my father, Dayan will be able to obtain this magic weapon for generations to come!"
Emperor Ming Yan silently put down his clairvoyance and patted his shoulder gently: "Okay, okay."
He waved to Yan Shiyue, and Yan Shiyue jumped over obediently. He gently put his arm around her shoulders, as if he wanted to say something, but he choked it, and after a long while he said: "Only when Dayan got my Yue'er did he really think he was a god.
Bless you!"
Yan Shiyue smiled and said: "Then Aye, please give this cannon a name."
Emperor Ming Yan thought for a while: "Let's call it 'Shenwei Cannon'!"
He held up his clairvoyance for a while and then got off the platform, gently touched the still warm cannon body, and then asked: "Can it only be made of copper?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Iron can also be used, but iron is easy to explode and break, but copper is hard to come by. So in the future, we can try an iron core and a copper body to save costs. And this cannon is really too heavy.
, it is not easy to move, so it is good at siege and defense, but not good at field battles. The rate of fire is also slow, and it needs to be cleaned, dried, and calibrated after each launch. And currently it can only fire solid bullets..."
She paused: "Anyway, I'm actually not very satisfied. Everything needs improvement."
Emperor Ming Yan quickly woke up from the shock just now and asked her: "How can it be improved?"
Yan Shiyue said: "That's what I just said! Reduce the weight, increase the power, range, rate of fire, etc. There are areas for improvement. By the way, the ammunition can also be improved in the future, for example, it can fire shotgun shells.
."
She compared it: "There are many small ammunitions in one ammunition, and they will explode after being shot."
Emperor Ming Yan looked at her, nodded, and asked the prince: "Have everyone observed her carefully?"
"Father, don't worry," the prince said: "After my son listened to Yue'er's detailed explanation, he checked everyone. Ajing's side was also checked carefully. Moreover, the Shenwu Army was only patrolling for protection and would not see anyone.
How to make it? Only a few people can make it."
Yan Shiyue said: "The production itself is not complicated. If it falls into the hands of others, it can be easily copied."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded, and after a while, he suddenly smiled.
He asked the prince: "If I hint to the Mobei countries that I can sell this powerful cannon to them, what do you think they will do?"
The prince's eyes also lit up: "They will try their best to buy it!"
Yan Shiyue also said: "Then we can ask for high prices! Then sell them all the garbage we don't want at a high price!"
Emperor Ming Yan laughed repeatedly and said: "Yueer's ability is my confidence."
The New Year is coming soon. As the crown prince, Yan Shiyue is a figure with a strong sense of presence. Both of them followed Emperor Ming Yan back to the capital, and then Huo Qijing and others continued to make the divine cannon.
It was already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month when she returned home, and it was only then that Yan Shiyue realized that all the gifts she had given her were successful.
To be honest, she was quite happy when she was told how to transport koi everywhere, but when it came to sending children, she was very embarrassed and didn't want to admit it, nor did she want to continue.
Fortunately, by this time, no one was able to post the posts, and everything was fine with her mother at home. Even if Meng Min was pregnant with a child, she took care of things here. She gave all the New Year gifts that needed to be given, and others gave them.
I also replied, and the etiquette was not bad.
Yan Shiyue always took a nap after finishing her work for a while, so when she woke up, it was already New Year's Eve.
It is said that Emperor Mingyan had met with envoys from several small countries, including Mobei.
Then, when we meet again, it will be the imperial meeting. Only then will all the countries send gifts, including Mobei, and submit their credentials.
Yan Shiyue thought that she could spend the Chinese New Year with Huo Qijing this year, and she also thought about sneaking out to watch the stall drive together, but the result was that they were separated again... which was also very miserable.
She went to torment A and them, and asked them to go to Xishan late at night to bring him some vegetables and a large plate of dumplings.
In fact, the food at Huo Qijing's is pretty good.
Because her and the prince's injuries were not yet healed when they came over, the imperial physician only brought four of them, and there were a lot of imperial cooks. Among other things, Huo Qijing and the craftsmen all had dumplings to eat.
The people in Jiahe rode very fast, and the dumplings were already chubby when they were delivered. Huo Qijing smiled, sat down and ate a few, and then gave her the steamed cakes that the imperial chef had brought back to her.
The young lovers spent New Year's Eve happily, and then came the New Year's Eve party.
Both she and the prince had to attend this grand gathering, and the grand gathering on the first day of the new year included dancing!
This is called a dance ceremony.
It is said that on many occasions such as before and after court, banquets and hunting trips, people often dance when they disagree, just like in Indian movies.
To be an official, you must first be able to dance, and the emperor will dance along and have fun with his ministers... But when it comes to Dayan, the dance ceremony is much less common, and it is only performed at New Year's court gatherings, or festive banquets such as the Thousand Autumn Festival.
, there will be such a time.
They dance for a while, shout "Long live Long live Long live Long live", and then bow their heads. This is called the ceremony of worshiping the king. It is very grand and lively.
The prince's injury has not fully healed yet, and he has not ended. Yan Shiyue also pretended that his injury has not healed, and has not ended. He sits on top and looks at the demons below... The ministers are dancing wildly, and it really feels like a square dancing lady's sense of immediacy!
The old men who were usually very serious in the court would have to hold their waists while coughing when they walked. At this time, their waists were twisting, and they were so flexible! They were so enchanting! Even Yan Shirui jumped.
Super awesome!! The hidden king of square dance!!
She was really sorry that Huo Qijing didn't come... She would ask him to come next time during the Chinese New Year! She wanted to see him dance!!
By the way, the iceberg-faced father is not here either, but it’s okay, his character is not ruined.
She simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for her cold-faced father to dance! But she really wanted to see it, so what should she do?
At this moment, a tall man who was obviously dressed differently from the courtiers and who must be an envoy from some country moved in front of her while raising his arms and dancing enchantingly. Then he knelt down suddenly and held a cup in his hands.
Holding her boots, he lowered his head and kissed her.
Meow meow meow!!??
Yan Shiyue was really frightened. Inexplicably, she suddenly thought of You Tanzhi, fearing that he would bite her, she jumped up and twitched her feet, and dragged the prince to block him in front of her.
There was a subtle silence in the court. (To be continued)
