Chapter 31 New Artillery

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally dealing with the memorial, heard the report from the eunuch standing guard outside the door, saying that it was Wang Wen who came to find him.

So he put the matter at hand aside for the time being and asked the eunuch to come in to Xuan Chenwen to talk about the matter.

As a result, Chen Wen had just come in and immediately said that there was good news to report, which made Lao Zhu stunned!

"Yes! Emperor!"

"I just learned that the Jiangzuo Camp has already built the new artillery designed by me!"

"So, I hurriedly came to report to the emperor!"

"The cannon has been arranged to be transported to the suburbs of Yingtian, and I'm waiting for the emperor to come and read it!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang looking surprised, Chen Wen reported on the news of the new artillery.

"What? It's built so fast?"

Hearing Chen Wen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened a little.

You should know that it will take more than half a month to build a cannon in the Jiangzuo Camp!

Chen Wen's new cannon is only the craftsman's experiment stage, and it can be built at such a fast speed!

If craftsmen become more familiar with the production process, wouldn’t the production speed be doubled?

"Yes! Emperor!"

"In addition to the new artillery, I also asked the craftsmen of the craftsman to produce some improved shells!"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's surprise scream, Chen Wen quickly responded.

"Okay! Let's finish this memorial and go with you to see the power of the new artillery!"

After Chen Wen finished answering, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then picked up the pen and quickly finished the memorial at hand.

Of course, it is quite complicated for the emperor to leave the palace, let alone go to the suburbs of Yingtian Mountain!

So after Zhu Yuanzhang got the matter at hand, he had to change into ordinary people's clothes and then call Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei!

At this time, Mao Xiang had already arranged the investigation of Hu Weiyong's case and could return to the palace to protect Zhu Yuanzhang's safety at any time.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was changing his clothes, Mao Xiang also rushed to the main hall of the Imperial Study Room.

"The person has arrived! Then let's go!"

Lao Zhu, who walked out of the back hall, saw that Chen Wen and Mao Xiang were already waiting there, ordered.

"Yes! Emperor!"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the two of them responded respectfully and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Biao'er? Are you asking us for something?"

Not long after he walked out of the Imperial Study Hall, Prince Zhu Biao ran towards Zhu Yuanzhang from the direction of the East Palace.

Seeing his eldest son coming to him, Zhu Yuanzhang thought Zhu Biao was doing something!

"Reply to Father's words! My son has just completed the arrangement you have assigned and is planning to go to the imperial study room to pay your respects!"

"I didn't expect to meet my father halfway!"

Hearing his father's question, Zhu Biao quickly stopped in front of everyone and replied to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Well! You are here just right!"

"Then let's go out of the palace with us. The boy Wen happened to build a new type of artillery and wanted to demonstrate it to us!"

Seeing that the crown prince Zhu Biao had nothing to do, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to take him out of the palace with him.

"Yes, Father!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang said something, Zhu Biao agreed.

The last time I tried the flintlock gun, Zhu Biao was curious for a while, and finally saw it during Qiu Shou!

So when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say that Chen Wen built a new type of artillery, this aroused Zhu Biao's curiosity!

Although Prince Zhu Biao and Chen Wen are the same age as Chen Wen, and are twenty-four years old, they are both fathers of three children, but their curiosity and spirit of exploration are not weak at all!

Immediately afterwards, the four of them took a carriage and rushed to the destination outside Yingtian.

After all, it’s not possible for the emperor and the prince to walk through it for more than ten miles, right?

Of course, the only ones who can sit in the car are Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao, plus Chen Wen!

As for Mao Xiang, he was not such a good holy family, so he had to drive a carriage outside the carriage!

I have to say that Mao Xiang is good at driving a carriage. He didn’t feel the bumps along the way and arrived at his destination!

After everyone got out of the car, they saw that the surrounding open space was surrounded by soldiers from the Governor's Office!

Some of them were carrying a wooden barrel in their hands.

"Duke Zhao! What do these soldiers mean by holding buckets in their hands?"

Zhu Biao asked Chen Wen curiously about the wooden bucket in the hands of the soldiers.

"Reply to the words of His Highness the Crown Prince! This is what I told them to bring!"

"Because the attack method and power of the new artillery are different from the artillery in our Ming Dynasty before!"

"In order to prevent the mountain from burning, I asked them to bring buckets and go to the river beside to get water to put out the fire at any time!"

Seeing Zhu Biao asking so curiously, Chen Wen did not keep it a secret, but introduced it to everyone.

"Well! You guy Wen, you are really considerate in your work!"

"Then it's not too late! Hurry up and demonstrate to us and Biao'er the usage and power of the new artillery!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also praised Chen Wen's meticulousness for his meticulousness, and then turned the topic to the new artillery.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Chen Wen to the suburbs of Yingtian to watch the new artillery!

"Yes, the emperor!"

"Please allow for a little preparation!"

Chen Wen came to Hu Guangfa and asked him to lead the soldiers to bring the new artillery.

After receiving Chen Wen's instructions, Hu Guangfa did not hesitate and quickly joined hands with several soldiers and pushed a cannon truck covered with red silk cloth into front of everyone!

At the same time, there were several soldiers next to him carrying a box of shells next to the cannon truck.

"Yo roar! This mystery is quite done, making us even more curious!"

Seeing the cannon cart wrapped in red silk cloth, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a strong curiosity on his face.

"Your Majesty! Please allow me to introduce this new cannon to you!"

“…”

Chen Wen pulled the red silk cloth apart, revealing the body of the new cannon.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Wen introduced the cannon parameters around the cannon.

"Okay, okay! You guy Wen, don't talk about these data, hurry up and demonstrate it to us!"

"As you said before, it is called practice to produce true knowledge!"

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't want to listen to Chen Wen's large-scale introduction, and he wanted to see the power of the cannon.

After all, the results obtained through practice are easier to be convincing!

"Yes! Emperor!"

Seeing that Lao Zhu couldn't listen, Chen Wen was also a little amused and cried. Then he stopped his mouth and started to operate the cannon directly to demonstrate to everyone!

Chen Wen’s first step to demonstrate was to fire solid shells through artillery to set a distance for Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to take a good look at it, the real power of science!
