Chapter 473 Cannonballs beat the living
"Jie Zhou, you Jie Zhou! Your Majesty, please spare your life..."
Li Dalan was obviously mentally broken, and he was howled incoherently by the guards.
Because he was being held in a mortar...
OK, real mortar.
There are also mortars on the warships, and they are mortars with large calibers. After all, His Majesty the Emperor likes to make cannons.
He still remembers the scene of bombarding with a mortar cannon on Yuhuatai.
The navy was inevitably going to engage in landing war outside. In this case, the combination of heavy mortar cannons and flowering bullets is undoubtedly very deterrent. Heavy mortar cannons were built outside those barbaric cities, and a flowering bullet weighing more than 100 pounds was probably enough to force them to surrender just by scaring them.
Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor specially equipped his navy's sea ship with giant mortars with a diameter of up to ten inches.
It weighs more than 4,000 kilograms, and the shell weighs 120 kilograms. In fact, the caliber should be more than 320 kilograms, so just take an integer to calculate ten inches, which means that the range is shorter. Even if it is a high-span ballistic, it can hit about two miles.
However, it cannot be fired on the ship, because even the deck of the sea ship may not be able to withstand the downward impact of this level of artillery.
Just put the boom on the dock.
The unlucky Li Dalan was dragged to the mortar with a shocked gaze.
The ammunition inside was loaded, including the closed slug, and the caliber was enough for him to enter. However, Liu Xin and others had to face a problem. The mortars were all short tubes. Although the caliber was ten inches, the length of the barrel was actually only two feet. If he put his legs in at this length, he would not even reach his waist, and at most he would break his legs.
Not enough to cut halfway.
Unless he stuffs his head in.
But in that case, it seems that there is no visual impact, and at most the style is more funny.
"Release!"
Guard Liu said.
Then the guards quickly lifted Li Dalan up.
Mr. Li was completely collapsed at this time. He scolded the emperor's tyrant Jie and Zhou, begged for mercy, and shouted for injustice to the late emperor from time to time.
He even shouted for justice to Taizu.
He was a genuine maritime merchant family, and it was a very ancient maritime merchant family. His great-grandfather was already a large merchant in Quanzhou. Later, he became a businessman and became an official. With money, he naturally developed into the officialdom. A large part of the problem in the late Ming Dynasty was the infiltration of these wealthy merchant families into the officialdom. The merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang textile industry, Fujian and Guangdong maritime merchants, Shanxi salt merchants and other families, which were both businessmen and scholars, officials and businessmen, and the strength of the court was constantly increasing.
Confucianism knocks on the door, silver opens the way, rises step by step, and passes on from generation to generation.
The families that developed towards chaebols in one place became blood-sucking borers of the empire.
"Broke him over."
Liu Xin said.
The guards immediately understood what he meant, quickly folded Mr. Li into the middle, and then stuffed his butt into the muzzle.
Liu Xin suddenly roared and jumped up, then kicked Mr. Li in the air.
Mr. Li screamed and entered the muzzle in a very distorted posture.
"ignition!"
Liu Xin shouted with satisfaction.
The guards hurriedly avoided happily. The gunner behind ignited the fuse, and then ran aside. Under everyone's gaze, the fuse disappeared into the ignition hole...
"boom!"
The sound of cannons suddenly shocked the entire dock.
Then I saw Mr. Li soaring into the sky, like a pilot ejected out, suddenly reaching mid-air...
But it just doesn't look very complete.
And a bloody rain fell in front of the muzzle.
Everyone looked up at Mr. Li who was ascending to heaven in amazement, but he was not very high. After all, he was not a shell and had great flight resistance, so he did not fly out of people's sight. People just watched him become a small dot, then fell from the sky and quickly became bigger, until they fell heavily on the dock of stone slabs like a toad that was kicked away...
"Your Majesty, I think our cannon is still a little smaller."
In a strange silence, Liu Xin was obviously very treacherous in his style to report to the emperor.
"Five inches are cast in the future, and five feet long can stuff him into it."
His Majesty the Emperor said.
This is the imperial edict, and it must be created in the future. His Majesty the Emperor said that he must be created in order to create. After all, there will definitely be more traitors who need to be executed in this way in the future.
However……
"Your Majesty, please spare me!"
"Your Majesty, I am all forced!"
...
Lin Feng and others howled like crazy, kowtowing desperately in front of His Emperor, all their faces were covered in blood.
"I haven't asked you yet, why did you ask me? I'm a reasonable person, not the kind of king of Jie and Zhou. Liu Tinghui, continue to identify whether he has participated."
His Majesty the Emperor sneered and shouted.
While speaking, he still pointed at Lin Feng.
"Your Majesty, he is one of the masterminds, and the entire rebellious plot is him. Li Tingji, Lin Shizhang, and the four criminals have decided to make a plan. I know that I should die, and I dare not deceive Your Majesty and I dare not implicate innocent people. The mastermind is me and four. After Your Majesty takes office, he will reduce the harsh taxes of farmers. The court will definitely be insufficient. It was just because of the house search and the temporary support he received in Luzon. However, after thinking about it, the criminals and others felt that once these were used up, His Majesty could only reach out to industry and commerce.
At that time, it was just a tax increase, and in addition to asking Nanyang Company to pay more money.
But no matter what, it was obtained by the deprived ministers and others.
In addition, Li Dan traded with the Red Haired Man in Nanyang. When he learned that the country had no monarch and that the country was dominated by merchants, his ministers and others had evil thoughts for a moment.
Moreover, the method of reform in Suzhou to worship the heavens was more beneficial to me. When Your Majesty first arrived in Guangdong, he used this law to govern the country. I and the gentry everywhere thought it was good. Unfortunately, Yuan Chonghuan and other scholars assassinated the King of Qianning and eventually led to the Guangzhou Incident. After Your Majesty seized power, they were all dissatisfied. Therefore, this design joined forces with those who were dissatisfied with Your Majesty to close Mei Pass, and lied that the Guangdong civil war could not be cured, and tempted Your Majesty to hurry and go south. Then Yu Zigao and Li Dan sent the imperial camp to Dawan and sent Your Majesty to Penghu to imprison.
Then he used the imperial camp to force the imperial camp to attack the local people, hoping to use this to kill the imperial camp, cut off His Majesty's wings, and then force His Majesty to sign an alliance between the monarch and the ministers.
Restoration of the reform policy in the future.
But he didn't expect Xiong Tingbi to escape and went south to inform Liu Shishang and others that there was a second Guangzhou Incident. Li Tingji was defeated and fled and was ambushed by Han Zhuo."
Liu Tinghui said.
"Then are there anyone here who doesn't know about this conspiracy?"
His Majesty the Emperor said, pointing at the bloody head.
The latter instantly looked at Liu Tinghui in unison, and looked at him with begging eyes, as if looking at a god who ruled them.
"Everyone knows."
Liu Tinghui said cruelly.
(At two thousand words, I have been delayed when I get the third shot of the vaccine)
