imprinted you in my heart

Since Shi Min ascended the throne, in order to increase income and reduce expenditures to reduce the burden on the treasury, spring hunting has been suspended, and extravagant and wasteful banquets have also been cancelled. Even the vassal state's tribute has changed from once a year to once every three years.

She also took the lead in personally presiding over the reform and implementation of the New Deal. Except for the founding emperor who had to set the rules, she was the first one. She worked day and night, lacked skills, and had no time or energy to manage the vassal states, various reductions in conservative behaviors, and Fu Yao's rebellion. The handling of this situation gave the vassal states the guess that the Hua Dynasty was on the verge of decline.

One of the basic national policies of the Hua Dynasty was to carry out cultural invasion to the vassal states as much as possible, and "as much as possible" was neither absolute nor an absolute precondition.

Since the founding of the country by Hua Gaozu, whenever the vassal states have trampled on the face of the Hua Dynasty, the Hua Dynasty will definitely send troops to crusade as soon as possible, but now that Fu Yao has done such a rebellious thing, the Hua Dynasty has not sent a single soldier, and the handling is not hurt. It is normal for the vassal states to have this kind of thinking.

Although all the vassal states now obey her orders openly, there are many small tricks secretly, doesn't she know?Know!Does she not want to send troops?Think more than anyone else!But the actual conditions do not allow it. In the final analysis, wars are fought over the family's wealth, and her family's wealth is weak!

Once the war broke out, it was the common people who suffered. After a few years of peace, Shi Shuang's rebellion was suppressed not long ago, and there were many casualties. If it was not for the survival of herself and the country, she would not want to use weapons.Fortunately, God was merciful, and she was lucky enough to win both times, which gave her the opportunity to have her own right now.

Kang Guoxuan is indeed a loyal fan of Huachao, and she also wants to send troops to set things right, but the battle to quell Braque is still vivid, because some advanced technologies have also been passed on during the cultural invasion, and the military strength of the vassal states cannot be tolerated. underestimate.

And Hua Chao has just undergone military system reform, and now more than half of them are recruits. Let Fu Yao feel anxious all day long.

As for the Yueli Sect created by Yun Chuan, which is similar to a pyramid scheme, it is undoubtedly a cult. People who have never read books can be brainwashed by him.

According to the latest news from Yinyan, the country of Kang seems to be in order, but in fact there are hidden dangers, Fu Yao has let go of it, Yun Chuan is busy promoting and strengthening the moon theory, and the one-year deadline has not yet come. If she can send troops late, she won't send troops a moment earlier.

As a rule, the beginning of this year is the first tribute of each vassal state once every three years, but after confirming that there will be a big contest on Halloween, she immediately asked the cabinet to draft an imperial decree, asking them to arrive before Halloween, of course Well, Kang Guo was not on the list. The Halloween contest was the highlight of what she had prepared for them. How could they do it if the audience didn't come?

In addition to the surrounding vassal states and small countries on the official road in the southwest, she also sent envoys to invite as many countries as possible to visit the Halloween contest, the better, the more the better.

One afternoon, it was sunny and cloudless, and there was a loud thunder in a valley in the mountainous area of ​​the Royal Garden Villa, which resounded for hundreds of miles and was deafening. Second.

In a valley in the mountainous area, the few people who heard the sound of thunder erupted didn't make it there. Some of them were almost frightened with their eyes wide open, some were slightly surprised, and some were a face joy.

"Your Majesty, it's done. Do you want to try the effect of attacking the wall again?" Yun Dingfan put down his binoculars and looked at the flattened mountains and said happily.

The lenses were introduced from the southwestern officialdom. Presbyopic glasses appeared in the late Wuzong period, but the number was extremely rare. Among the high-end products, the royal family only had a few pairs. This was only known after she took the throne and counted her property.

It is estimated that there are many people who have heard about the Xungui House, but there are very few owners.Shi Min also spent a lot of time collecting materials, and after several twists and turns, he made a telescope not long ago. Yun Dingfan also participated, and happened to have more materials, so he imitated and made a smaller one.

The mountains 600 meters away were originally covered with shrubs. After the sound of thunder, the black smoke dissipated. Compared with the previous few times when there was no sound and the destructive power was weak, this time the sparks touched everything.

Shi Min, who also used the telescope to observe the experimental results for the first time, was a little surprised and heavy-hearted. He put down the telescope and remained silent for a long time.

As early as when she decided to make the cannon, she knew that this day would definitely come, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, it only took more than a month, and she didn't expect the effect to be so good.

More than 600 meters!It is three times that of the currently used siege equipment trebuchet, and its lethality and destructive power are N times that of all weapons.This was also the fundamental reason why she made Xuan Changle wait for a year and was unwilling to send troops early, but after it was actually produced, she hesitated, wondering if it was right to do so.

Forcibly dragging the era of cold weapons into the era of semi-hot weapons will also mark that the casualties may increase exponentially. When I think that the battlefield full of corpses is all her "credit", I feel heavy.

Zuo Xuan and Yi Tongfan, who also watched the whole process, were stunned in astonishment. The disdainful eyes they used to see at Yun Dingfan became hot, and the eyes at Shi Min also showed a bit of admiration. Zuo Xuan swallowed before opening his mouth. Said: "Your Majesty, is this a cannon? It's too... powerful."

Zuo Xuan was called here temporarily, she was very mysterious, and she was even more confused when she saw the thing put on the shelf by the pipe. When Yun Dingfan said it was a cannon, she knew it was called a cannon, and thought: Pao Battle Not so long, cannon?Why don't you call it a big fart hahaha!

How much I wanted to laugh just now, but now I am so shocked.

For a person like Yun Dingfan who has become an extremely human minister step by step, the left-handedness accumulated step by step to today is despised, as long as he can live in front of His Majesty, he has never given the other party a good face in private, Yun Dingfan also He is not a tolerant master, and he will never hide when he should fight back. The two are not at odds, and it is no secret in the court.

The disdainful eyes turned into hot eyes, which shows how powerful the cannon is.

"You can give it a try." Shi Min also wanted to see the effect of attacking the wall. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the shocked expressions on the faces of Zuo Xuan and Yi Tongfan. The surprise in his eyes couldn't help, "It's the cannon in red, and I'm going to let it appear in the big competition. Before that, I don't want to hear about it from other people, not a single word."

She and Yun Dingfan calculated many times and determined that the chance of success in this experiment was very high, so they called the military secret department, the Ministry of War and the generals of the internal and external imperial forces who were in charge of the Halloween competition. Come.

The astonishment of "the ministers and others obeying the order" receded, and what remained in everyone's hearts was more joy. With such a weapon, why worry about not being able to break the city or win the battle?For generals and military officers like them, what else is more important than protecting the border and the people to win the battle?

Even the older Qi Ming and Luo Buyun have the urge to take this cannon to the battlefield, not to mention the young and energetic Zuo Xuan and Yi Tongfan, even if His Majesty wants them to go to Kang Guo immediately to suppress the rebellion, they will not hesitate go.

As the only cabinet minister present, Yun Dingfan, who was also the chief engineer of the cannon in red, couldn't wait to ask the craftsmen to turn the cannon around. After obtaining His Majesty's consent, he reloaded the cannon and ignited the fuse.

Making cannons cannot be done by one person alone. In addition to considerable financial and material resources, talents are the most important thing. Yun Dingfan is the chief engineer, and she herself is the chief designer. There are dozens of carefully selected craftsmen. People, only a few craftsmen who are familiar with the operation came today.

The people of Duhe City and the officials of the palace who heard the thunder again were terrified, fearing that it was a sin from heaven to cause the earthquake, but after waiting for a while, they regained their calm, and their doubts in their hearts became even worse.

After a puff of thick smoke, the thick wall visible to the naked eye had already collapsed, and everyone present only realized afterwards that it was a wall twice as thick.

Facts have proved that she was right in appointing Yun Dingfan as the cabinet minister a month ago, especially the secret appointment of her as the chief engineer of the red cannon manufacturing was even more right. She was disappointed because she didn't know whether Wu Lili, who was also appointed as a cabinet minister, would disappoint her.

Since then, the first members of the cabinet and the military secret department established by Shi Min have been gathered together. The military secret department has three members and the cabinet has five members. They are all formed according to the minimum number of people.

Yun Dingfan became an extremely personable minister from a white body and a commoner. It was the first of its kind in the Hua Dynasty for more than 200 years. It became the well-deserved No.1 under the recommendation system of Shi Min. Yes, there are also those who think that she is not worthy of getting something for nothing. There are mixed reviews and reputations for a while, and this is the reason why Zuo Xuan looks down on her.

Wu Lili, on the other hand, has changed from a feudal official to a cabinet minister, which is considered flat, but in the eyes of the world, from a local official to a capital official is a high promotion. The future is also bright for the emperor.

Qiu Xie, the only loser, was very open-minded, and went back after crossing the river with his partner. He said what should be said, and he also said what should not be said. Pity.

Everyone present was very satisfied with the effect of attacking the wall. The only ones who were a little bit dissatisfied were probably Yun Dingfan and Shi Min. Yun Dingfan felt that there was still room for improvement, and Shi Min felt that the effect was too good.

Although it is not as lethal as modern thermal weapons, but in this era of cold weapons, it definitely exists like a giant.

Shi Min said some words of encouragement, rewarded Yun Dingfan and all the craftsmen, and went back.When Lu Guanchu saw His Majesty who was intact as before, he was relieved. She and the guard of honor were left at the corner by His Majesty. They couldn't see the situation in the valley, and even heard two thunderclaps. They were so frightened. Light, if not for His Majesty's order, she would have rushed in.

Qi Ming and the others did not leave immediately, but surrounded Yun Dingfan and started asking various questions. It is rare that the experiment was successful today and he was in a good mood. Smelly.

As soon as Shi Min returned to the Hall of Documents, he anxiously checked the latest secret letter. He only read the cover, not the content. I was a little disappointed, and immediately wrote two letters and sent them to Fandu before continuing to review the secret letters and memorials.

Bu Qianxue has not been by her side for more than a month, and the two of them can only communicate through letters. At the beginning, there will be an email every two days. I can be happy for a few days, but I haven't received many letters recently.

The message sent by the secret message was that everything was as usual, which made her feel agitated. Only when she devoted herself wholeheartedly to political affairs and making red-clothed cannons would she forget her worries for a short time.

Half a month ago, Bu Qianxue wrote a letter saying that her mother's illness had recovered a lot, and she would be cured in at most ten days. Later, she received a letter from Lu Jianyi, saying the same thing, so she should be cured now. Now that he has recovered, why don't he return to her? ?
