When the dock was first built in Gongfang City, Cai River was dredged, the water area was widened and the river bottom was dug deeper to increase the throughput of the dock.
Pile all the waste soil in a specific location.
All were done in accordance with official plans.
At this time, this man-made earth mountain became a testing ground for various new firearms in Workshop City.
This place is really heavily guarded. It covers an area of two to three miles and is surrounded by tall and thick concrete walls. On the city wall, there are three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, rotating regularly, all day long.
This is an independent space, a bit like Wengcheng... This is Duan Silian's first feeling.
It was also the first time for Lu Huiqing to see this secret place of the country. Even before entering, he signed many contracts, including a death contract...~The guard said that this was a rule, and even officials had to sign it when they came.
Lu Huiqing didn't know whether the officials would sign or not. He knew that he couldn't get angry with these soldiers. They all had the right to act expediently. Even if they were taken over by the imperial court, they would still be directly controlled by the officials.
It's a bit desolate, a bit eerie, and there's a smell of gunpowder smoke as soon as you enter.
Duan Silian obeyed the command of the soldiers and followed Lu Huiqing to a pit covered with a fishing net on the top.
He felt that Lu Huiqing was not very familiar with this place.
There is a pit that is almost as tall as a person, with a viewing opening above the chest.
Looking into the distance along the lookout, there is a rockery made of cement less than a mile away... I'm not sure. Ever since he got to know cement, everything in Duan Silian's eyes has been cement.
"Don't go out casually, just stay in the pothole. This test involves ten rounds, and the target distance is one mile."
Following the soldier's hand, you can see a crosshatch of white lime in front of him.
There are five cannons like wheeled vehicles placed on the left and right sides of the pit.
"Load..."
"Altitude ten...launch..."
Before I could react to the soldiers' first shouts, I heard waves of rumbling sounds...
Suddenly, Duan Silian felt as if someone had pressed his ears firmly, and he could no longer hear any sound.
At this time, his first time was not to see where the shells had hit, but to look for Lu Huiqing...
Lu Huiqing was shaking his head vigorously, hoping that he could still hear the sounds around him, but his mind was completely frightened by the place where the shell hit, with a look of disbelief on his face.
It turns out that people can really borrow the power of heaven.
Duan Silian saw Lu Huiqing's shock. He thought it was because of the sound of cannons. After taking a closer look, he discovered that Lu Huiqing's shock came from the front...
This... Duan Silian is stupid! How is this possible?
The hill that was originally marked with a cross of white lime... it should be a hill. According to Duan Silian's feeling, it must be two feet high and one foot wide, but after this round of cannon fire, it was almost flattened!
This...this...Duan Silian can no longer remain calm.
Dali is his hometown. Even if he is no longer the King of Dali, the place where he was raised is the root of him and even his entire family.
Even now, Dali still has the territory of his Duan family, and there are still people of his Duan family.
If the Song Dynasty used such artillery fire to wreak havoc in Dali...
Duan Silian seemed to see the desolation of Dali after the war.
This is Gao Changtai’s sin, this is his Gao family’s sin…it is also Duan Silian’s sin, and his Duan family’s sin!
Duan Silian regretted that he should stay in Dali. Even if he was afraid of losing the throne, even if he was afraid of death, he should still be with the people of Dali and bear the artillery fire that was like a punishment from heaven.
If the Gao family is king, then be king. Dali is still a beautiful and rich Dali, but now, the Song army has entered the country, bringing with them these weapons that destroy the world... Is Dali still the Dali it once was?
Duan Silian followed Lu Huiqing numbly, listening dumbly to the soldiers telling Lu Huiqing about the power of artillery, and looking dumbly at the rockery that was blown to pieces by the artillery fire.
At this time, Duan Silian looked at Lu Huiqing's smile, so cruel!
How could the people of Dali withstand such artillery fire?
No! Absolutely not! We must not let the Song army wreak havoc like this in Dali!
At this time, Duan Silian became the responsible King of Dali again.
Until he returned to Prince Duan's Mansion, Duan Silian didn't answer Lu Huiqing again and remained silent.
"Lü Guanban, I want to see His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Prince Duan, Hui Qing is the envoy of the embassy. Hui Qing has the right to handle all matters related to Dali. I hope Prince Duan will make it clear..."
Lu Huiqing knew that this matter should be done. As long as there was a little reminder, Duan Si Lian would obey.
"I want to see His Majesty the Emperor, and I ask Lu Guanban to arrange it!"
"Prince Duan..."
"I want to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of China, and I would like to ask Lu Guanban to arrange it!"
After all, he has been a king before. Even if he is a king in exile, he is still a king. Even if he is ruthless, he still has the aura of a king.
"Huiqing will report to our emperor!"
Lu Huiqing understood that things could only go so far, and the final credit would not be his.
Duan of Dali is still a king no matter what. Even if he bows his head, he will not bow his head to his companion.
No matter what, my mission should be accomplished.
But this artillery... Lu Huiqing was also shocked.
With this artillery, why worry that Xixia will not be destroyed, and why worry that Yanyun will not be harvested!
Little did he know that the artillery tested today was just a test product, and would even remain a test product for a long time.
Moreover, the cost of this artillery makes it impossible to equip the army at this stage.
This was an artillery test specially arranged by Su Song for Lu Huiqing and Duan Silian after receiving a secret order from the government.
…
"I hope that Your Majesty will save the lives of the people of Dali, reduce killings, and be compassionate!"
Duan Silian couldn't care about anything else, and even skipped the normal rituals. As soon as he entered the Chui Gong Palace Gate, he shouted for all the people in the world.
"Why is this, Prince Duan? Xi asked himself that he is not a murderous person. We, the Song Dynasty, are not a murderous army. How can we say this?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor, has seen the power of the artillery of the Upper Kingdom, and is relying on the power of heaven's punishment! Millions of our people in Dali are innocent and should not suffer this crime!"
"Prince Duan is accusing me, the Song Dynasty, of not attacking the rebellious ministers?"
Although Zhao Xi felt happy, he still had to act out the emotions he should have.
"The Gao family conspired to rebel. I, the Song Dynasty, sent troops to exterminate the traitors who were not loyal to me. I am a teacher of morality and justice. What does King Duan mean by this?"
Han Qi also stepped up his efforts. At least he had to suppress Duan's strength first, and then we could talk.
"King Duan, please be patient. Please tell me clearly what the reason is. I, the Song Dynasty, respect the saints and sages and understand morality and justice. I will never do anything that goes against the harmony of nature."
You have to have both red and white faces.
Duan Silian relied on his temporary feelings and emotions. When he actually arrived at Chui Gong Hall, facing Zhao Xi, Fu Bi and others, there was no room for him to move.
Who are these people? They have been playing this game for decades, how can they let him take the initiative?
Even if it is unreasonable, the political affairs hall will take over the situation, and even Zhao Xi will not have to take action.
It was not Lu Huiqing's turn to open his mouth, and he was not qualified to open his mouth in this situation.
Dude, you still have to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of China? So what if I meet you? Is it really better than communicating with him, Lu Huiqing?
If we were to talk to him, Lu Huiqing, it would not only be about Lu Huiqing's merits, but Duan Silian would never suffer such suppression.
