Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Xianyang Palace, the private palace of Yingzheng.

At this time, Ying Zheng had restrained the gentle image he had shown in front of Zhao Che, and turned back into the eternal emperor who lashed out at Fang Qiu.

At this time, he was leaning on the chair, playing with the god gun that he got from Zhao Che.

"Meng Qing, what do you think my Daqin's powerful crossbowmen have against this heavenly gun?"

"Your Majesty, this god's gun is very powerful, far surpassing my Daqin's crossbow arrows, but the flaw is also obvious, that is, the range is insufficient. If it is a small-scale battle, my Daqin's crossbowmen will naturally have a better chance of winning."

Although Meng Yi is a civil servant, he was born in a family of generals, and his understanding of marching and combat is far beyond ordinary people.

"So, Meng Qing is not optimistic about this Celestial Gun?"

"No."

Meng Yi shook his head.

"Although the Tianshen Gun has flaws, it is not irreparable, and its power is extraordinary, which cannot be compared with the crossbow."

Meng Yi's evaluation is still very pertinent.

"Then tell me how to make up for the flaws of the Heavenly Gun."

Ying Zheng asked questions with great interest.

"It's actually very simple. As long as the distance between the two armies is close enough, the Heavenly God Gun is invincible, and the biggest advantage of the Heavenly God Gun is that it can perfectly restrain the cavalry."

Hearing Meng Yi's words, Ying Zheng also fell into deep thought.

On the ancient battlefield, cavalry is simply the most powerful arm, bar none.

Why did the alien armies on the frontier repeatedly invade Daqin and bring great losses to Daqin each time? Is it because Daqin's military strength is insufficient?
It is possible for the prestigious Great Qin Iron Cavalry who can unify the Seven Kingdoms to be inferior to that foreign soldier in terms of combat effectiveness.

Among other things, in terms of weapons and equipment, Daqin has a vast land, the mineral resources contained in it, and the weapons forged are definitely far more than those of other races.

The advantage of the foreign race is their cavalry. The foreign race is very smart and rarely engages in large-scale confrontation with Daqin. Instead, they choose to use the high mobility of the cavalry to conduct harassing and blitzkrieg battles.

Every time the soldiers of Daqin rushed to the battlefield, the foreign cavalry had already left after plundering.

Secondly, when fighting frontally, it is also difficult for the cavalry to charge up.

But the firecrackers are powerful and have a short range. If the cavalry dares to charge over, they will simply seek their own death.

"Xuan Gong lost his revenge, and the widow asked him to imitate this heavenly gun."

After thinking about it for a long time, Ying Zheng decided to study this god gun.

After all, although the flaws of the firecracker are there, the powerful power is really hard to give up.

"Here!"

Meng Yi took the order and got up immediately to deliver the order.

The domineering mechanics of the public losers are experts in developing all kinds of powerful weapons, and it is most appropriate to entrust them with the research of the Heavenly God Gun.

"His Majesty!"

As soon as Meng Yi walked to the entrance of the hall, he saw the CRRC Mansion Commander Zhao Gaonian walking over with a brocade box.

"Master Shangqing is here?"

The relationship between Zhao Gao and Meng Yi can't be said to be average, it can only be said to be very bad, very bad.

Many years ago, Zhao Gao committed some crimes, which happened to hit Meng Yi's hands.

At that time, Meng Yi directly planned to kill Zhao Gao, but was finally saved by Ying Zheng.

From then on, Zhao Gao hated the Meng clan and opposed Meng Yi everywhere.

However, Zhao Gao is a man of great power, even though he hates him to death, he still does a good job on the surface.

After seeing Meng Yi, he took the initiative to say hello.

"What? Could it be that I can't enter this Xianyang Palace?"

Meng Yi was not interested in pretending to be friendly with Zhao Gao, he snorted impatiently, then turned and left on his own.

Looking at Meng Yi's leaving back, Zhao Gao's eyes flickered with a murderous gleam, but the next moment when he stepped into the hall, his expression changed to a cautious expression.

"The subject has seen His Majesty."

Zhao Gaonan came to Yingzheng with a brocade box and saluted respectfully.

"Exemption."

"Your Majesty, the immortal masters in the palace have refined the latest elixir, please take it, Your Majesty."

Zhao Gao opened the brocade box, and there was a lumpy ball in it, exuding a pungent smell, and it didn't look like an elixir.

However, Ying Zheng has long been used to it. In order to gain longevity, he has eaten this kind of food for a long time.

However, just as Ying Zheng picked up the so-called elixir as usual and was about to take it, what Zhao Che said to him before suddenly sounded in his mind.

After hesitating for a long time, Ying Zheng threw the elixir back into the box.

"Don't take it now, let's keep the elixir. Is there no news about Xu Xianshi going out to sea to find immortals?"

Zhao Gao was obviously surprised when he saw Ying Zheng's performance, but he wisely didn't ask more questions, but answered Ying Zheng's question honestly.

"His Majesty, Xu Xianshi has been out to sea for more than eight years, but there is no news yet."

When Zhao Gao mentioned this matter, he was obviously trembling.

After all, the matter of Xu Fu has always been a thorn in Ying Zheng's heart.

Xu Fu traveled east to sea several times in search of the so-called fairy mountains, but all these years have been fruitless.

Eight years ago, he even took three thousand virgins with him. After going out to sea, he never came back.

Later, Ying Zheng also ordered Lu Sheng to go to sea to look for Xu Fu, but the result was predictable, and naturally there was no result.

However, Lu Sheng did not find the elixir, but brought back a prophecy, the so-called Hu Ye who died of Qin.

It was also because of this prophecy that Ying Zheng gave Meng Tian the order to lead the army to attack the Huns northward.

Then Lu Sheng also knew that he couldn't find the elixir, so he decided to run away with a bucket like Xu Fu.

As a result, if you run away, you can run away, but Lu Sheng likes to play dead, and before running away, he criticizes Ying Zheng.

In the end, Lu Sheng took his good friend Hou Sheng and ran away, but the alchemists who were with him were miserable. After being found out by Ying Zheng, all those who were involved were killed.

This is the Confucianism incident, one of the biggest black spots in Yingzheng history.

From then on, Xu Fu, Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng became a taboo in the Great Qin Dynasty, and no one dared to bring it up again.

It's just that Ying Zheng himself has always been unwilling. He longed for longevity, especially when he heard Zhao Che say that he would die next year, this kind of thought popped up like wild weeds.

"Continue to investigate, but if you hear anything about Xu Fu, report it to the widow immediately."

"Here!"

Zhao Gao was relieved when he saw that Ying Zheng didn't take his anger out on him, and he really scolded Xu Fu and others half to death in his heart.

"Go down."

Ying Zheng sighed softly, put the refined elixir at hand, and prepared to take it back to show Zhao Che next time.
